                                     -----

     THIS LEASE is made as of the 1st day of August, 1995 ("Commencement Date"),
by and between RLH PARTNERSHIP, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership
("Landlord"), with a mailing address in care of KKR Associates, 2800 Sand Hill
Road, Suite 2000, Menlo Park, California 94025, and RED LION HOTELS, INC.
("Tenant"), a Delaware corporation, with a mailing address at 4001 Main Street,
Vancouver, Washington 98663.

                                R E C I T A L S:

     WHEREAS, Landlord currently holds an interest in certain parcels of real
property either in fee or as ground lessee, which parcels are more specifically
described in Exhibits A-1 through A-17 hereto, and each of which has been
developed, improved, and is currently being utilized for, the operation of a Red
Lion hotel (individually, a "Hotel," and, collectively, the "Hotel(s)");

     WHEREAS, the lease transaction described herein is a portion of a larger
transaction involving, among other things, an initial public offering of the
common stock of Tenant, and wherein, among other matters, Tenant will succeed to
certain of the assets of the Red Lion hotel business, including the operation of
"Red Lion" hotels on other properties not the subject of this Lease, and wherein
both Tenant and Landlord shall borrow funds from certain lenders and each of
their respective interests under this Lease shall be pledged as collateral for
such loans (collectively, such larger series of transactions shall be referred
to herein as the "Restructuring"); and

     WHEREAS, prior to the Restructuring, Tenant or Tenant's predecessor's in
interest have possessed and operated each Hotel leased hereunder.

                               LEASE OF PREMISES
                               -----------------

     Section 1.1  "As-Is" Letting
                  ---------------

          (a)  In consideration of the Rents, covenants and agreements to be
     paid, kept and performed hereunder, Landlord, for the term and upon the
     conditions hereinafter set forth, leases to Tenant and Tenant leases and
     takes from Landlord, the Premises (including, without limitation, all FF&E,
     Fixed Asset Supplies, Operating Equipment and Inventories located at the
     Hotels on the Commencement Date), together with all privileges, easements
     and appurtenances beneficial thereto.

          (b)  The Premises are leased to Tenant "as-is" and Landlord makes no
     representation or warranty, express or implied, with respect to the
     condition of the Premises, or as to the compliance of the Premises with any
     Legal Requirements.  Tenant has examined the Premises and title to the
     Premises and has found all of the same satisfactory for its purposes.
     Tenant accepts the Premises subject to the existing state of title.  During
     the term of this Lease, Tenant shall have the exclusive right to use,
     enforce and obtain the benefits of (i) all guaranties, representations, and
     warranties relating to the construction, improvement, alteration and repair
     of the Premises and all architectural and engineering plans, drawings and
     specifications related thereto, and (ii) all of Landlord's transferable
     licenses, permits, franchises, approvals,

                                       1
<PAGE>
 
     authorizations, consents or orders of, or filings with, any governmental
     authority, whether foreign, federal, state or local, or any other person
     related to any Hotel which is required to be held by Tenant in connection
     with the operation of the Hotels and/or the transactions contemplated
     hereby.  During the term of this Lease, Landlord shall execute such
     assignments or other transfer instruments as are necessary to transfer the
     benefits of all such items to Tenant, and shall not waive, surrender or
     modify any of Landlord's rights with respect thereto without obtaining
     Tenant's prior written consent.

     Section 1.2  Tenant's Right of Possession.  Subject to the provisions of
                  ----------------------------                               
Sections 6.4 and 12.2, and any other provision of applicable law affording any
inspection rights to Landlord and/or any Mortgagee, Tenant shall have exclusive
possession and control of the Premises during the term of this Lease.

     Section 1.3  Landlord's Cooperation
                  ----------------------

          (a)  Landlord agrees upon request by Tenant to provide all information
     relevant to Landlord, its general partners, officers and directors, and to
     execute, and to cause its general partners, officers and directors to sign,
     promptly, and without charge, all applications (including all documents
     related thereto) for licenses, permits, instruments or other general
     approvals required to be submitted to any governmental authority that are
     necessary for the proper and successful conduct of Tenant's lawful business
     operations at any of the Hotels if and to the extent such execution and/or
     information by or from Landlord and/or any of its officers and directors is
     required by law, regulation or governmental practice in order for Tenant to
     obtain any such license, permit, instrument or other governmental approval;
     provided, however, that all costs and expenses associated therewith shall
     be the sole obligation of Tenant, and Tenant shall promptly pay and
     discharge the same, and provided further, that the proper execution of any
     such application shall not expose Landlord or any of its constituent
     partners to any personal liability. In all cases, Landlord shall have a
     reasonable amount of time to comply with Tenant's requests pursuant to this
     Section 1.3(a), Landlord and Tenant shall, in good faith, cooperate with
     each other in determining and complying with relevant governmental
     requirements, and Tenant shall afford Landlord every reasonable opportunity
     to question and challenge by appropriate administrative and/or judicial
     process any relevant governmental requirement so long as such challenge
     does not materially and adversely affect any material license, permit or
     governmental approval of Tenant. Tenant hereby agrees that it will fully
     indemnify, defend and save Landlord harmless from and against any and all
     costs, losses and expenses, including, without limitation, any and all
     legal fees and court costs incurred or suffered by Landlord as a result of
     its compliance with the obligations imposed upon Landlord under this
     Section 1.3 or as a result of Tenant's contest of the results of any such
     application to any governmental entity, except in the case of Landlord's
     fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence.

          (b) If Landlord should fail to comply with the requirements of Section
     1.3(a) above, and such failure should continue for more than thirty (30)
     days after Notice from Tenant to Landlord and the Senior Landlord's
     Mortgagee specifying the required cooperation and informing the recipients
     of such Notice that Tenant intends to act pursuant to this Section 1.3(b)
     if such cooperation is not provided (whether by action of Landlord or by
     action of the Senior Landlord's Mortgagee) within said thirty (30) day
     period and such failure results, or with reasonable certainty will result,
     in the denial, non-renewal or withdrawal of a material license, permit or
     governmental approval that will materially and adversely affect Tenant's
     business at such Hotel, then, in addition and not as a substitution for any
     remedies available to Tenant under Section

                                       2
<PAGE>
 
     22.27 of this Lease, if such failure is not cured within such thirty (30)
     day period, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease with
     respect to the affected Hotel by so notifying Landlord not later than the
     date which is sixty (60) days after the date of the aforesaid Notice.  If
     Tenant elects to exercise the right described in the preceding sentence, it
     shall, simultaneously with its delivery of its Notice of termination,
     deliver to Landlord its irrevocable offer to purchase such Hotel, but only
     such Hotel, for an amount equal to the Leasehold Purchase Price.  Tenant
     shall not, by reason of exercising said right to terminate, be excluded
     from exercising any other right or remedy afforded to Tenant under Section
     22.27 as a result of Landlord's breach of this Section 1.3.

          (c)  Landlord may accept or reject Tenant's irrevocable offer to
     purchase such Hotel by sending Tenant a Notice of rejection or acceptance
     within thirty (30) days from the date upon which Landlord received Tenant's
     Notice of termination.  If Landlord fails to send Tenant a Notice of
     rejection or acceptance within thirty (30) days of its receipt of Tenant's
     irrevocable offer to purchase such Hotel, Landlord shall be deemed to have
     rejected such offer.  If Landlord accepts Tenant's offer to purchase, this
     Lease shall terminate with respect to such Hotel and closing of such
     purchase shall occur in accordance with the provisions of Article XXI.
     Upon such termination, Tenant shall pay to Landlord all Rent due through
     such date of termination, in addition to the Leasehold Purchase Price.
     Landlord shall convey such Hotel to Tenant in accordance with the
     provisions of Article XXI.

          (d)  If Landlord rejects or is deemed to have rejected Tenant's
     irrevocable offer to purchase pursuant to Section 1.3(b), this Lease shall
     terminate with respect to such Hotel on a Base Rent payment date specified
     by Tenant in its Notice of termination which occurs not earlier than ninety
     (90) days nor later than one hundred twenty (120) days after delivery to
     Landlord of Tenant's irrevocable offer to purchase, provided that this
     Lease shall not terminate with respect to such Hotel unless and until
     Tenant shall have paid all sums due hereunder (including, without
     limitation, all taxes and insurance premiums) as of the actual date of
     termination.  Upon such termination, Tenant shall vacate such Hotel in
     accordance with the provisions of Section 3.4.

          (e)  Landlord shall have the right at all times prior to either a
     closing date for any purchase under Section 1.3(c) or the termination date
     under Section 1.3(d), to cancel the right of Tenant to so purchase or
     terminate pursuant to said sections, by complying with the requirements of
     Section 1.3(a) in sufficient time and manner so that the subject license,
     permit or approval is obtained or reinstated by a date that is prior to the
     aforesaid closing date or termination date as the case may be.

Extended Term(s), if any.  The Initial Term of this Lease shall commence on the
Commencement Date, and, unless sooner terminated as otherwise provided herein,
shall expire on December 31, 2010.

     Section 3.2  Extended Term.  If Tenant has not given Notice of its

intention to terminate this Lease with respect to any Hotel pursuant to

Term shall extend in excess of one month less than the remaining term of
Landlord's leasehold interest in such Land. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Tenant may elect at any time throughout the Term to exercise, by Notice to
Landlord, its option to extend the Term with respect to any or all Hotels
through any or all Extended Terms. If and to the extent Tenant elects by written
notice to Landlord to exercise its option to extend the Term for any such Hotel
through any Extended Term, Tenant's option to terminate this

Lease pursuant to Section 3.3 with respect to such Extended Term for which
Tenant has exercised its extension option shall no longer be applicable, but
such option to terminate pursuant to Section 3.3 shall continue to apply to any
Extended Term with respect to which such option to extend was not exercised
pursuant to this Section 3.2.  All elections to extend the Term shall be
irrevocable after exercise.

                  ---------------------                                       
respect to any Hotel at the end of the Initial Term or at the end of any
Extended Term upon Notice to Landlord not less than twelve (12) calendar months
prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or the then current Extended Term,
as the case may be.  In addition, Tenant may terminate this Lease with respect
to any Hotel if Tenant gives a Notice of termination to Landlord after the date
which is twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or the
then current Extended Term, as the case may be (but prior to the last day of the
Initial Term or the then current Extended Term and prior to the expiration of
the thirty (30) day period referenced below), and in such event this Lease shall
terminate with respect to such Hotel on the date which is twelve (12) months
after the date upon which Tenant delivers such Notice; except that if, after the
beginning of the twelve (12) month period prior to the expiration of the Initial
Term or the then current Extended Term, as the case may be, Tenant does not give
a Notice of termination within thirty (30) days after Landlord requests Tenant
to notify Landlord whether Tenant intends to terminate this Lease with respect
to all or any portion of the Premises, the Term of this Lease shall be
automatically extended with respect to the portion of the Premises that was the
subject of Landlord's request for the next Extended Term, and Tenant's right to
terminate this Lease with respect to such portion of the Premises prior to the
expiration of the next Extended Term shall cease to have any further force or
effect.

     Section 3.4  Obligations of Parties at Termination
                  -------------------------------------

          (a)  Promptly upon the effective date of any termination of this Lease
     with respect to any Hotel or Hotels:  (i) Tenant shall peaceably surrender
     all of such Hotel or Hotels to Landlord in the same condition as existed as
     of the Commencement Date, subject only to such additions or alterations as
     have been permitted pursuant to Article IX hereof and subject to reasonable
     wear and tear; (ii) Tenant shall assign and deliver to Landlord Tenant's
     entire interest in any and all service contracts, guaranties and warranties
     relating to the construction, improvement, alteration and repair of such
     Hotels and all architectural and engineering plans, drawings and
     specifications related thereto; (iii) if Landlord exercises its option
     described in subsection 10.3(a) to purchase certain equipment relating to
     such Hotel or Hotels from Tenant, Tenant shall assign and deliver
     appropriate title documentation and possession of such equipment; and (iv)
     if Landlord so requests, Tenant shall cause any person or entity occupying
     the Premises by, through or under Tenant to be evicted and removed from the
     Premises.

          (b)  Rent relating to such Hotel or Hotels shall be paid through the
     date of termination.  Within one hundred twenty (120) days after this Lease
     terminates, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a complete and final
     accounting, prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.3
     hereof, of Operating Revenues relating to such Hotel or Hotels together
     with all payments of Rent relating to such Hotel or Hotels due hereunder
     and, if Landlord opted to purchase the equipment described in Subsection
     10.3(a), the purchase price therefor.  Landlord's right to audit Tenant's
     books and records as described in Section 5.3 and to receive Percentage
     Rent and Additional Rent relating to such Hotel or Hotels, if any, together
     with interest at the Lease Interest Rate shall survive the termination of
     this Lease.

          (c)  If Landlord, directly or indirectly, intends to conduct upon
     termination of this Lease a business or use at any of the Hotels similar to
     Tenant's business or use at such Hotel, Tenant,

                                      11
<PAGE>
 
     at Landlord's request, shall: (i) make available to Landlord such books and
     records as are appropriate to such business and/or use (but not including
     employee records that must remain confidential either under Legal
     Requirements or reasonable policies of Tenant, or any proprietary
     information or property of Tenant), and (ii) assign or transfer to Landlord
     or its designee, to the extent permitted by Legal Requirements, all
     licenses, permits, permissions and approvals pertinent to the conduct of
     such business or use at such Hotel; provided that if Tenant has expended
     any of its own funds within the five (5) year period preceding the
     termination date in the acquisition or maintenance of any such license,
     permit, permission or approval (other than annual license fees whether
     prepaid or paid currently), or if there are any deposits or escrow funds
     relevant thereto that Tenant assigns and transfers to Landlord, Landlord
     shall, as a condition of receiving an assignment or transfer of such
     license, permit, deposit, escrow fund, permission or approval (if requested
     by Landlord), reimburse Tenant therefor.  The cost of effectuating any such
     transfer of any licenses, permits, permissions or approvals shall be borne
     by Landlord except when termination is due to Tenant's default.

          (d)  The provisions of Section 10.3 shall apply upon termination of
     this Lease with respect to all or any portion of the Premises, and Tenant
     shall take all other appropriate actions as required under all other
     applicable provisions of this Lease.  The provisions of this Section 3.4,
     as well as all Surviving Obligations, Landlord's right to receive the late
     charges described in Section 5.2(b), interest on sums outstanding at the
     Lease Interest Rate and legal fees (but if termination was not due to an
     Event of Default such Legal Fees shall be reasonable legal fees) and court
     costs, shall survive termination of this Lease with respect to all or any
     portion of the Premises.

the contrary under this Lease, it is expressly understood and agreed by and
between the parties that this Lease is an absolutely net lease, and that Tenant
shall pay the Rents and all other sums payable hereunder to or on behalf of
Landlord without Notice or demand and without set-off, counterclaim, abatement,
suspension, deduction, or defense, and Landlord is not obligated to expend any
of its funds in connection with the Hotels, Premises or this Lease.

     Section 4.2  Non-Terminability of Lease
                  --------------------------

          (a)  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, this Lease shall
     not terminate, nor shall Tenant have any right to terminate this Lease, nor
     shall the obligations hereunder of Tenant be otherwise affected, for any
     reason whatsoever, including without limitation by reason of any damage to
     or destruction of all or any part of the Premises from whatever cause, the
     taking of the Premises or any portion thereof by condemnation, the
     prohibition, limitation or restriction of Tenant's use of the Premises, or
     interference with such use by any private person or corporation or by
     reason of any eviction or otherwise, or Tenant's acquisition of ownership
     of the Premises otherwise than pursuant to an express provision of this
     Lease, or for any other cause whether similar or dissimilar to the
     foregoing, any present or future Legal Requirement to the contrary
     notwithstanding, it being the intention of the parties hereto that the Rent
     and all other charges payable hereunder to or on behalf of Landlord, shall
     continue to be payable in all events

                                      12
<PAGE>
 
     and the obligations of Tenant hereunder shall continue unaffected, unless
     the requirement to pay or perform the same shall be terminated pursuant to
     an express provision of this Lease.

          (b)  Tenant covenants and agrees that it will remain obligated under
     this Lease in accordance with its terms, and that Tenant will not take any
     action to terminate, rescind, reject or avoid this Lease or any term, part,
     or provision hereof, notwithstanding the bankruptcy, insolvency,
     reorganization, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution,
     winding-up or other proceeding affecting Landlord or any assignee of
     Landlord in any such proceeding and notwithstanding any action with respect
     to this Lease which may be taken by any trustee or receiver of Landlord or
     of any assignee of Landlord in any such proceeding or by any court in any
     such proceeding.

          (c)  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, Tenant
     waives all rights now or hereafter conferred by law or obtainable in equity
     (i) to quit, terminate or surrender this Lease or the Premises, or any part
     thereof, or (ii) to any abatement, suspension, deferment or reduction of
     any Rents or charges payable hereunder to or on behalf of Landlord,
     regardless of whether such rights shall arise from any present or future
     constitution, statute or rule of law.

     Section 5.1  Base Rent and Percentage Rent.  Tenant covenants to pay
                  -----------------------------                          
Landlord Rent for the Premises as follows:

          (a)  Commencing with the Commencement Date and continuing to the end
     of the Term (including all Extended Terms), "Base Rent" in an amount equal
     to Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000) per Year for each Year; plus

          (b)  Commencing with the Second Lease Year and continuing for each
     succeeding Lease Year until the end of the Term (including during all
     Extended Terms), "Percentage Rent" equal to seven and one half percent
     (7.5%) of that portion of the Operating Revenues for all Hotels for such
     Lease Year that exceed the total Operating Revenues for the first Lease
     Year ("Base Revenues"); provided, however, that in the case of a Partial
     Lease Year, Percentage Rent shall be calculated by comparing Operating
     Revenues for the Partial Lease Year against Base Revenues for the
     comparable period of the first Lease Year.  Once Base Revenues are
     calculated and such figures are certified by Tenant's auditors and chief
     financial officer, and Landlord has concurred in such calculation, the Base
     Revenues with respect to each Hotel shall be inserted on Exhibit B and the
     so revised Exhibit B shall become and remain a part of this Lease to be
     utilized for reference purposes if a future recalculation of Base Revenues
     becomes necessary due to the termination of this Lease with respect to any
     one or more, but not all, Hotels.

     Section 5.2  Payment of Rent
                  ---------------

          (a)  Base Rent shall be paid (i) with respect to each calendar month
     in each of the first two (2) fiscal quarters (based on Tenant's Fiscal
     Year) after the Commencement Date, monthly in arrears, in six equal
     payments of One Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($1,250,000) on
     or before the last business day of each such calendar month, and (ii) with
     respect to all periods thereafter during the Term, quarterly in arrears, in
     four equal payments of Three

                                      13
<PAGE>
 
     Million Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($3,750,000), on or before the
     last business day of each March, June, September and December during each
     Year of the Term.  Base Rent for any partial quarter shall be prorated and
     computed by multiplying the quarterly Base Rent by a fraction, the
     numerator of which is the number of days in such partial quarter and the
     denominator of which is ninety.  In the event this Lease terminates
     pursuant to the specific terms hereof with respect to one or more Hotels
     (but not all Hotels), Base Rent shall be recalculated in accordance with
     the Schedule contained on Exhibit B, and Percentage Rent shall be
     recalculated by deleting the Base Revenues of the so terminated Hotel or
     Hotels from the Base Revenues utilized to calculate Percentage Rent.
     Percentage Rent shall be calculated on an annual basis beginning at the end
     of the second Lease Year and then for each succeeding Lease Year.  The
     calculation of Operating Revenues for the then ended Lease Year shall be
     made by Tenant and provided to Landlord within one hundred and twenty (120)
     days after the end of such Lease Year in accordance with Section 5.3(a).
     Tenant shall pay the Percentage Rent annually in arrears on or before one
     hundred twenty (120) days after the end of the applicable Lease Year.  All
     installments of Rent not paid by Tenant when the same become due shall bear
     interest from the date due until paid at the Lease Interest Rate.  Time is
     of the essence with respect to this obligation, and installments of Rent
     shall become due and payable without Notice or demand.  All Rent payments
     shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America and shall be
     paid to Landlord at Landlord's address for receipt of Notices or to such
     other party and/or to such other address as Landlord may from time to time
     designate by Notice to Tenant in accordance with this Lease.

          (b)  Tenant acknowledges that late payment of Rent by Tenant to
     Landlord will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated in this Lease,
     the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain.  Such
     costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges
     and late charges that may be imposed upon Landlord by the terms of any
     Mortgage on any or all of the Hotels.  Accordingly, in addition to the
     interest payable by Tenant pursuant to Section 5.2(a), after a period of
     five (5) days following the date all or any portion of Rent is due and
     unpaid Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to five percent (5%) of
     the amount of such unpaid installment or portion thereof. The parties agree
     such late charges represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the cost
     Landlord will incur by reason of the late payment by Tenant.

          (c)  If any of the Hotels are damaged by fire or other casualty and
     Tenant must discontinue all or substantially all business operations
     therein for a period of time in excess of the period covered by business
     interruption insurance required to be carried hereunder, Tenant's
     obligation to pay Percentage Rent for the Lease Year in which Tenant has so
     discontinued its business operations shall be computed as if such Lease
     Year were a Partial Lease Year and as if the number of days in such Partial
     Lease Year excluded the number of days during which Tenant discontinued all
     or substantially all of its business operations at such Hotel and which are
     not covered by business interruption insurance required to be carried by
     Tenant hereunder.  In no event shall Tenant's obligation to pay Base Rent
     be abated for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation, any fire
     or other casualty.

          (d)  If, at any time during the Term, there is a good faith dispute
     between Landlord and Tenant with respect to the amount of Percentage Rent
     properly due hereunder, Tenant's failure to pay the disputed amount shall
     not be deemed an Event of Default with respect to the provisions of
     Sections 20.1 and/or 20.2 until such time as the dispute is resolved;
     provided, that Tenant shall promptly pay any such disputed amount of
     Percentage Rent claimed by Landlord into an escrow

                                      14
<PAGE>
 
     account specifically created for such purpose, to be held and invested by
     the Insurance Trustee or such other escrow agent as may be mutually
     approved by Landlord and Tenant.  Any amount finally determined to be due
     Landlord shall bear interest at the Lease Interest Rate from the date which
     is one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of the Lease Year or Partial
     Lease Year as to which such disputed Percentage Rent arose until paid.  Any
     amounts in such escrow account, including any interest earned thereon, not
     required to be paid to Landlord shall be returned to Tenant.  Tenant shall
     have no right of offset as against any Base Rent for any overpayments of
     Percentage Rent.

     Section 5.3  Records; Audit by Landlord
                  --------------------------

          (a)  Tenant shall keep, in appropriate detail and in accordance with
     standard accounting practices, at its principal business office, records of
     all sums constituting and/or specifically excluded from Operating Revenues
     with respect to each Fiscal Year for a period of not less than four (4)
     Fiscal Years after the expiration of the Fiscal Year to which such records
     relate.  Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of the first
     Lease Year, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a statement from an
     appropriate corporate officer of Tenant and, within two hundred ten (210)
     days after the end of the First Lease Year, from Tenant's independent
     certified public accountants, certifying the calculation of Base Revenues
     required by Section 5.1(b) hereof.  Within one hundred twenty (120) days
     after the end of each subsequent Lease Year, Tenant shall deliver to
     Landlord a statement from an appropriate corporate officer of Tenant
     certifying the annual Operating Revenues for such Lease Year.  If there is
     any overpayment of Percentage Rent, the excess shall be credited against
     any future Percentage Rent when next due.  If Landlord delivers its written
     request to Tenant for copies of records and data to support such statement,
     then Tenant shall provide same to Landlord within thirty (30) days after
     receipt of such written request.  Landlord shall be entitled to rely
     directly on Tenant's independent outside certified auditors or, at
     Landlord's option and at its own expense, to audit such statement and
     supporting records and data, provided Landlord shall cause such audit to
     commence within ninety (90) days after receipt of said statement and to be
     completed within one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of all
     information requested by Landlord reasonably related to such audit.  In
     order to provide finality, absent fraud and, except as otherwise provided
     below in this Section, Tenant shall be entitled to treat such statement as
     being correct if Landlord does not so audit or otherwise challenge said
     statement within the time period above provided, and Landlord shall have no
     right thereafter to question or examine the same.  If the audit or any
     audit hereinafter referred to in this Section (collectively a "Landlord's
     Audit") discloses an understatement of annual Operating Revenues, Tenant
     shall immediately pay Landlord the additional Percentage Rent found to be
     due plus interest thereon at the Lease Interest Rate from the date such
     additional Percentage Rent was otherwise due until the date actually paid.
     However, if Landlord's Audit discloses that Percentage Rent has been
     overpaid by Tenant, the excess shall be credited against any future
     Percentage Rent when next due hereunder.  Tenant shall have the right to be
     informed as to any final results of any such audit.  In addition, if
     Landlord's Audit discloses any underreporting of the total Operating
     Revenues for any Lease Year, which underreporting is in excess of three
     percent (3%) of the Operating Revenue for such Lease Year, Tenant shall,
     upon demand and receipt of evidence of payment, pay Landlord as Additional
     Rent the reasonable cost of Landlord's Audit; and Landlord shall have the
     option, at Tenant's expense, to audit the certified statements and
     supporting records and data for the two (2) immediately preceding Lease
     Years, with such audit to be commenced by Landlord within sixty (60) days
     after Landlord's receipt of the initial audit showing an underpayment of
     Percentage Rent, and to be completed within one

                                      15

     hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of all information requested by
     Landlord reasonably related to such audit.

          (b)  In addition to the deliveries required under Section 5.3(a), 
     Tenant shall, within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each
     Fiscal Year that ends during the Term, deliver to Landlord a statement from
     an appropriate corporate officer of Tenant and from Tenant's independent
     certified public accountants, certifying the annual Operating Revenues for
     such Fiscal Year.

          (c)  Landlord shall keep all information regarding annual Operating
     Revenues and Base Revenues with respect to the Premises in strict
     confidence and shall not divulge such information to third parties except:
     (i) to Landlord's accountants and attorneys, (ii) to existing or
     prospective purchasers, Mortgagees, partners, lenders, or trustees of
     Landlord, (iii) in connection with any claim relating to Percentage Rent
     payable under this Lease, (iv) as may be required by law, or (v) to the
     holders of direct and indirect beneficial ownership interests in Landlord
     and its Affiliates.

     Section 5.4  Subleases, Licenses, and Concessions
                  ------------------------------------

          (a)  If Tenant should sublease all or substantially all of any Hotel,
     then notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease to the contrary,
     Operating Revenues shall not include any rent or other consideration paid
     by such sublessee to Tenant but Operating Revenues shall include all gross
     receipts of such sublessee that would be included in Operating Revenues if
     realized by Tenant.

          (b)  If Tenant should ever contract with a third party sublessee,
     licensee, or concessionaire to deliver goods or services to the customers
     at any of the Hotels, which goods and services had previously been provided
     by Tenant to Tenant's customers at such Hotel (and exclusive of any such
     service businesses which individually do not utilize space exceeding 500
     square feet of rentable area), then notwithstanding any other provision of
     this Lease to the contrary, the gross receipts of such sublessee(s),
     licensee(s), and concessionaire(s) that would be included in Operating
     Revenues if realized by Tenant shall be included in Operating Revenues; and
     in any case in which the gross receipts of any sublessee, licensee, or
     concessionaire are included in Operating Revenues hereunder, the rental,
     license, or concession fees, if any, paid by such sublessee, licensee, or
     concessionaire to Tenant shall not be included in Operating Revenues;
     provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 5.4(b) shall not
     apply to the gross receipts of any one or more sublessees, licensees, or
     concessionaires if the gross receipts of all such sublessees, licensees, or
     concessionaires in the applicable Lease Year do not exceed Fifty Thousand
     Dollars ($50,000), which $50,000 amount shall be increased on the fifth
     (5th) anniversary of the Commencement Date and every fifth (5th)
     anniversary thereafter by an amount proportionate to the percentage
     increase in the GDP Deflator over the preceding five (5) year period.

          (c)  If any sublessee, licensee, or concessionaire that delivers goods
     or services to Tenant's customers at any Hotel is an Affiliate of Tenant,
     the gross receipts of such sublessee, licensee, or concessionaire that
     would be included in Operating Revenues if realized by Tenant shall be
     included in Operating Revenues, and the rental, license, or concession
     fees, if any, paid by such sublessee, licensee, or concessionaire to Tenant
     shall not be included in Operating Revenues.

                                      16
<PAGE>
 
          (d)  Tenant shall not enter into any sublease, license, or concession
     agreement or amendment thereto in which the determination of the amount of
     rent, license, or concession fee depends in whole or in part on, or is
     expressed in whole or in part as, a percentage of the income or profits
     derived by such sublessee, licensee, or concessionaire or any other person
     or entity.  In any lease, license, or concession agreement or amendment
     thereto executed by Tenant in which the amount of rent, license, or
     concession fee is determined in whole or in part by reference to the gross
     sales or gross receipts of the sublessee, licensee, or concessionaire or
     any other person or entity, such sublease, license, or concession agreement
     shall contain a provision stating that the gross receipts or gross sales of
     the sublessee, licensee, or concessionaire or any other person or entity
     shall not be determined in whole or in part by reference to the income or
     profits derived by the sublessee, licensee, or concessionaire or any other
     person or entity from the Premises or the subject matter or such lease,
     license, or concession agreement (other than an amount based on a fixed
     percentage or percentages of gross receipts or gross sales).  If Tenant
     violates the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any sublease,
     license, or concession agreement, then in addition to any other rights and
     remedies that Landlord may have under this Lease or applicable law, the
     gross receipts of such sublessee, licensee, or concessionaire under such
     sublease, license, or concession agreement that would be included in
     Operating Revenues if realized by Tenant shall be included in Operating
     Revenues and the rental, license, or concession fee, if any, paid by such
     sublessee, licensee, or concessionaire shall not be included in Operating
     Revenues.

     Section 5.5  Rent Upon Certain Expansions.  If Tenant completes any
                  ----------------------------                          
Expansion at any Hotel with respect to which: (i) the cost of such Expansion
exceeds One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), and (ii) such Expansion results,
either by itself or aggregated with any and all prior Expansions, in an increase
greater than five percent (5%) in the capacity (measured either in terms of net
useable building square footage, or the aggregate number of rooms) of such Hotel
then, from the first day of the first month following the date of completion of
such Expansion throughout the remaining Term of this Lease, Tenant shall pay in
lieu of Percentage Rent with respect to such Hotel the lesser of either (x)
Percentage Rent for such Hotel calculated pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof, or 
(y) Expansion Rent for such Hotel for each Lease Year or portion thereof during
the remainder of the Term hereof in an amount equal to the average amount of
Percentage Rent payable by Tenant with respect to such Hotel (without regard to
the Gross Income from any other Hotels included in the Premises) for the two (2)
full Lease Years immediately preceding the commencement of construction of such
Expansion; provided, however, that the amount of Expansion Rent shall be
increased on each anniversary of the date such Expansion Rent first became
effective by an amount proportionate to the percentage increase in the GDP
Deflator over the preceding twelve (12) month period.

                  ------------------------------------- 

          (a)  Tenant shall not alter its operational and/or management
     practices with respect to any of the Hotels so as to cause the standard at
     which the Hotels are operated and managed to deviate significantly from the
     standard of operation and management existing on the Commencement Date,
     without obtaining Landlord's prior written consent.

                                      17
<PAGE>
 
          (b) Throughout the Term, Tenant, at its own expense, shall keep and
     maintain each of the Hotels in condition and repair at least as good as the
     condition and repair of each Hotel on the Commencement Date, reasonable
     wear and tear excepted, and in conformity with all applicable Legal
     Requirements and shall make or cause to be made all ordinary and
     extraordinary, foreseen and unforeseen items of maintenance, repair,
     replacement and alteration to the Premises as necessary for such purpose.
     Landlord shall not be required to maintain, repair, or rebuild all or any
     part of the Premises.  Tenant shall provide all services required and
     perform all obligations incurred in connection with the use, operation and
     maintenance of the Premises, and Tenant shall be responsible for the
     payment of all costs and expenses incurred in the use, operation, or
     maintenance of the Premises, including, but not limited to, rents and other
     amounts owed under any ground lease, management fees, real estate taxes,
     insurance, supplies and materials used in the operation and maintenance of
     the Premises, the cost of all maintenance, janitorial, security and service
     agreements for the Premises and the equipment therein and thereon, and the
     cost of electricity, water and any and all other utilities, supplied to the
     Premises, but not including any costs or expenses affirmatively incurred by
     Landlord that are not attributable to a default by Tenant in the
     performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease.

     Section 6.2  Taxes
                  -----

          (a)  Tenant shall pay, prior to delinquency:  (i) all taxes, including
     sales, excise, value added, use, real estate and personal property taxes,
     assessments, levies and fees, water and sewer rents and charges, vault
     charges, and all other taxes, levies, assessments, and other similar
     charges, general and special, ordinary and extraordinary, foreseen and
     unforeseen, of every kind and nature whatsoever, which are imposed or
     levied upon or assessed against or which arise with respect to the
     Premises, any Rent or other sums payable hereunder, this Lease or the
     leasehold estate hereby created or which arise in respect of the ownership
     of the Premises by Landlord, the operation, possession or use of the
     Premises by Tenant or the leasing, operation, possession or use of the
     Premises; (ii) all gross receipts, sales, excise or similar taxes (i.e.,
     taxes based upon gross income which fail to take into account deductions
     with respect to the Premises, such as depreciation, interest, taxes or
     ordinary and necessary business expenses) imposed or levied upon, assessed
     against or measured by any Rent, or other issues or profits derived from
     the Premises or other sums payable hereunder; and (iii) all charges of
     utilities, communications and other services serving the Premises, together
     with any and all interest costs or penalties with respect to any of the
     foregoing.

          (b)  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 6.2(a) but
     subject to the provisions of Section 6.2(c), Tenant shall not be required
     to pay any franchise, estate, inheritance, transfer, income or similar tax
     assessed or imposed against Landlord, any Rent or other sums payable
     hereunder, this Lease, the Land or Improvements (other than any tax
     referred to in clause (ii) of Section 6.2(a)). Tenant will furnish to
     Landlord, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, proof of payment of
     all items referred to above which are payable by Tenant.

          (c)  If, at any time, any federal, state or local governmental entity
     shall impose upon the Rent payable to Landlord any tax or other imposition
     in lieu of any existing real estate or other tax payable by Tenant as of
     the Commencement Date, then notwithstanding the provisions of 
     Section 6.2(b), Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall pay such tax or
     imposition on Landlord's behalf the same as if such tax or imposition had
     been levied against Tenant or Tenant's interest in the Premises, as well as
     any additional income taxes assessed against Landlord with respect to such
     payment.

     Section 6.3  Compliance with Requirements, Covenants and Restrictions.
                  --------------------------------------------------------  
Tenant shall comply with and cause each of the Hotels to comply with all
obligations and liabilities with respect to all Insurance Requirements
(including, without limitation, to the extent necessary to prevent cancellation
thereof and to insure full payment of any claims made under such policies).
Tenant shall comply with, cause each of the Hotels to comply with, and shall
assume all easements, agreements, covenants, conditions and restrictions
applicable to each such Hotel or the ownership, operation, use or possession
thereof that are of record on the Commencement Date or are hereafter executed by
Tenant or are hereafter consented to by Tenant in writing, including, without
limitation, (i) any superior ground lease currently in effect with respect to
any portion of the Premises, and (ii) any Mortgage or other agreement executed
directly in connection therewith.  During the Term, Tenant will not enter into
or consent to any easements, covenants, conditions or restrictions which would
materially affect any Hotel beyond the Term or any termination of this Lease
without the prior consent of Landlord, which consent will not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned, or delayed.

     Section 6.4  Landlord's Right to Perform Tenant Obligations.  If Tenant
                  ----------------------------------------------            
fails promptly to make any repairs, payments or otherwise take any actions that
are Tenant's obligation to make or do under this Lease, Landlord, at its option,
may make or perform same at the expiration of any applicable Notice and grace
period provided for herein (except that upon any emergency presenting immediate
danger to person or property, such Notice and grace period shall only be what is
reasonable under the circumstances), and Tenant shall pay Landlord, upon demand
and receipt of evidence of payment, as Additional Rent, Landlord's actual costs
plus interest thereon from the date of expenditure until paid at the Lease
Interest Rate.  The provisions of this Section 6.4 shall be for the sole and
exclusive benefit of Landlord.  Nothing contained herein shall be construed so
as to require Landlord to exercise any of its rights under this Section 6.4.

     Section 6.5  Compliance with Laws and Agreements.  Subject to the
                  -----------------------------------                 
provisions of Section 6.6, Tenant, at its sole expense, shall comply with and
cause each Hotel to comply with, and assume all obligations and liabilities with
respect to all federal, state, county, municipal and other governmental
statutes, laws, rules, orders, regulations, ordinances, judgments, decrees and
injunctions affecting each Hotel or the construction, use or alteration thereof,
whether now or hereafter enacted and in force, including any which may (i)
require repairs, modifications or alterations in or to any Hotel; (ii) in any
way adversely affect the use and enjoyment thereof, and all permits, licenses
and authorizations and regulations relating thereto, and all covenants,
agreements, restrictions and encumbrances contained in any instruments, either
of record or known to Tenant (other than encumbrances created by Landlord
without the consent of Tenant), at any time in force affecting any Hotel,
including without limitation, all superior ground leasehold agreements and any
Mortgage or other agreement executed directly in connection therewith; or (iii)
require the cleanup or other treatment of any Hazardous Material (such laws,
orders, ordinances, agreements and regulations being herein referred to as
"Legal Requirements").

     Section 6.6  Tenant's Right to Contest.  Notwithstanding any other
                  -------------------------                            
provision of this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to contest (a) the payment
of any tax or other imposition, (b) compliance with any Legal Requirement or (c)
any lien referred to in Section 6.7 so long as (i) at the time of any such
contest, no Event of Default exists, (ii) no such contest shall subject Landlord
to the risk of criminal liability, (iii) any such taxes or impositions are paid
prior to the assessment of penalties or interest thereon unless such payment
would deprive Tenant of the right to contest the validity or amount of such
taxes or impositions, and (iv) Tenant shall contest, in good faith, the
existence, amount or validity thereof, the amount of the damages caused thereby,
or the extent of its or Landlord's liability therefor by appropriate proceedings
which shall operate during the pendency thereof to prevent or stay (1) the
collection of, or other realization upon, the matter contested, (2) the sale,
forfeiture or loss of any of the Hotels or any

                                      19
<PAGE>
 
portion thereof or any Rent to satisfy or to pay any damages caused by any of
the matters described in clauses (a), (b), and (c), (3) any interference with
the use or occupancy of any of the Hotels, (4) any interference with the payment
of any Rent, (5) the cancellation of any insurance policy, and (6) the
enforcement or execution of any injunction, order or Legal Requirement with
respect to such matter.  Tenant further agrees that any such contest shall be
prosecuted to a final conclusion or settled as expeditiously as is reasonably
possible under the circumstances.  Any rebate made on account of any taxes or
other impositions shall be repaid to the party who made such payment, or if such
payment relates to a period prior to the Commencement Date, such payment shall
be made to Tenant.  If and to the extent required by applicable law or
regulation, Landlord shall render to Tenant, at no cost to Landlord, any and all
reasonable assistance in contesting the validity or amount of any impositions,
including (if requested by Tenant) joining in the signing of any protests or
pleading which Tenant may reasonably deem advisable to file.  Tenant shall pay
any and all losses, judgments, decrees and costs in connection with any such
contest and shall, promptly after the final determination of such contest, fully
pay and discharge the amounts which shall be levied, assessed, charged or
imposed or be determined to be payable therein or in connection therewith,
together with all penalties, fines, interest and costs thereof or in connection
therewith, and perform all acts the performance of which shall be ordered or
decreed as a result thereof.  Upon termination of this Lease for any reason
other than an Event of Default, Landlord shall promptly reimburse Tenant for any
such payment made by Tenant for taxes and impositions described in 
Section 6.2(a) attributable to the Premises applicable to any period subsequent
to the termination of this Lease.

     Section 6.7  Liens.  Tenant shall keep the Premises free from any liens
                  -----                                                     
arising from any work performed, materials furnished, or obligations incurred by
or at the request of Tenant or any sublessee, licensee, or concessionaire of
Tenant or arising from any breach by Tenant of its obligations under this Lease,
and any liens with respect to any taxes Tenant is obligated to pay under this
Lease or Legal Requirements.  If any lien is filed against any Hotel or Tenant's
leasehold interest therein, or if any lien is filed against any Hotel which
arises out of any purported act or agreement of Tenant, or any sublessee,
licensee, or concessionaire of Tenant, Tenant shall discharge the same within
thirty (30) days after Tenant receives Notice of its filing by payment, filing
of the bond required by law, or endorsement over by a title company reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord (it being understood that any title company with a
national presence and a sound financial condition and reputation shall be
acceptable to Landlord).  If Tenant fails to discharge such lien within such
period, then, in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord, Landlord
may, at its election, discharge the lien by paying the amount claimed to be due,
by obtaining the discharge by deposit with a court or a title company, or by
bonding.  Tenant shall pay on demand, as Additional Rent, any amount paid by
Landlord for the discharge or satisfaction of any such lien, together with
interest thereon from the date of such expenditure until paid at the Lease
Interest Rate, and all reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs and expenses
of Landlord incurred in defending any such action or in obtaining the discharge
of such lien, together with all necessary disbursements in connection therewith.
Nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed as constituting the consent
or request of Landlord, express or implied, to or for the performance by any
contractor, laborer, materialman, or vendor of any labor or services or for the
furnishing of any materials for any construction, alteration, addition, repair
or demolition of or to any of the Hotels or any part thereof, or as making
Tenant the agent of Landlord with respect to any such matter, and no such agency
relationship shall exist unless Tenant and Landlord so agree in writing.  Notice
is hereby given that Landlord will not be liable for any labor, services or
materials furnished or to be furnished to Tenant, or to anyone holding an
interest in the Premises or any part thereof through or under Tenant, and that
no mechanic's, materialmen's or other liens for any such labor, services or
materials shall attach to or affect the interest of Landlord in and to the
Premises; and appropriate notice to this effect will be included in the Lease
Memorandum and all construction contracts entered into by Tenant, and Tenant
shall take all steps

                                      20
<PAGE>
 
reasonably necessary under the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which the relevant
portion of the Premises is located to protect Landlord against such liability
(including, if required, the posting of notices of nonresponsibility on
Landlord's behalf).

     or alleged violation of any Legal Requirement (including anti-
     discrimination laws) or any Insurance Requirement; and

          (d)  Any contest undertaken by or on behalf of Tenant with respect to
     any Legal Requirement, Insurance Requirement, tax imposition or otherwise,

     forth in Article XII;

          (b)  All claims asserted during or after the Term by any third party
     for personal or bodily injury or death where such claims allege injury or

     prior to the Commencement Date at or in connection with the leasing, use,
     non-use, occupancy, management or operation of any of the Hotels and/or any
     portion of the Premises; the discharge, disposal or release of any
     Hazardous Material at any time prior to the Commencement Date in, on,
     under, at or from, or in connection with the leasing, use, non-use,
     occupancy, management or operation of, any of the Hotels and/or any portion
     of the Premises; or the presence of any Hazardous Material at any time
     prior to the Commencement Date in, on, under or at any of the Hotels and/or
     any portion of the Premises, including without limitation any off-site
     migration onto any of the Hotels and/or any portion of the Premises.

     Section 8.3  Defense of Indemnified Parties.  Promptly after receipt by an
                  ------------------------------                               
Indemnified Party of notice of the commencement or assertion against it of any
claim, action or proceeding, such Indemnified Party shall, if a claim in respect
thereof is to be made against Tenant under this Article VIII, notify Tenant
thereof; but the omission so to notify Tenant shall not relieve Tenant from any
liability which it may have to such Indemnified Party under this Article VIII
except to the extent that Tenant shall have been prejudiced by such failure.  As
long as no Event of Default exists and provided that representation by counsel
selected by Tenant will not, in Indemnified Party's reasonable judgment (which
judgment may be based on, without limitation, due consideration of any
obligation such Indemnified Party may have to indemnify other parties in
connection with the same matter, including requirements as to right of contest,
time of indemnification and undertaking of defense of such other parties),
prejudice Indemnified Party in any manner, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense,
shall have the right by counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified
Party, to contest, resist and defend any claim, action or proceeding with

                                      22
<PAGE>
 
respect to which it shall have received the Notice described in the preceding
sentence; provided, however, that Tenant may not compromise or otherwise dispose
of the same without the prior written approval of the Indemnified Party, such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed so long as the
Indemnified Party receives a full release with respect to the claim, action or
proceeding.  If an Event of Default exists, or, in Indemnified Party's judgment,
representation by counsel selected by Tenant will prejudice Indemnified Party in
any manner, such Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own
counsel and defend such action.  If Tenant shall have assumed responsibility for
such contest and defense, Tenant shall not be obligated to pay any attorneys'
fees or other legal costs incurred by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party
unless an Event of Default exists.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each
Indemnified Party shall, at Tenant's request and expense, cooperate with Tenant,
at no cost or expense to the Indemnified Party, in the defense of any such
claim, action or proceeding.

     Section 8.4  Payment by Tenant.  Any amounts which become payable by Tenant
                  -----------------                                             
under this Article VIII shall be paid as Additional Rent no later than ten (10)
days after demand by the Indemnified Party entitled thereto (which demand shall
not be made more than ten (10) days prior to the proposed date of actual payment
by the Indemnified Party to a third party) and, if such payment is not timely
paid, shall bear interest at the Lease Interest Rate form the date when due to
the date of payment.

     Section 8.5  Survival.  Tenant's liability under this Article VIII shall
                  --------                                                
survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.  The failure or
inability on the part of Tenant to carry insurance required to be maintained
under Article XIII shall not affect in any way its indemnification obligations
hereunder.

     Section 8.6  Continuing Obligations.  The indemnities set forth herein
                  ----------------------                                   
shall in no way affect or impact any other obligations on the part of Tenant or
any of its Affiliates that may exist under law or under any other agreement in
favor of any Indemnified Party.

                           ALTERATIONS AND EXPANSIONS
                           --------------------------

     Section 9.1  Alterations and Expansions
                  --------------------------

          (a)  Tenant may at its expense and without Landlord's prior written
     consent, make any replacements or aesthetic alterations to any of the
     Hotels.  Tenant may expand the existing Improvements or construct
     additional Improvements on the Land located at a Hotel (the expansion of
     existing Improvements or the construction of additional Improvements being
     referred to collectively herein as an "Expansion"), provided, that:  (i)
     such Expansion does not (A) increase the rooms available for occupancy at
     the subject Hotel by greater than 10% of those existing as of the
     Commencement Date; or (B) increase the net area of other revenue producing
     square footage at the subject Hotel by more than 10% of that existing as of
     the Commencement Date, (ii) no structural elements of the improvements
     shall be demolished without obtaining Landlord's prior written consent,
     which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed,
     and (iii) such replacements, alterations and/or Expansions will not
     adversely affect the structure or the safety of the Improvements, or
     adversely affect the electrical, heating, ventilating, air-conditioning,
     plumbing or mechanical systems or the functioning thereof.  Landlord has
     the right to require from Tenant assurances, reasonably acceptable to
     Landlord, to be delivered to Landlord prior to the commencement of any
     work, that Tenant will fully perform and complete its Expansion, free and
     clear of any mechanics' and materialmen's liens.  Tenant shall procure

                                      23
<PAGE>
 
     at its own expense such governmental approvals and permits as may be
     required for any alterations made by Tenant.  At Tenant's expense, Landlord
     shall join in submitting Tenant's plans for any necessary governmental
     approval, if required by Legal Requirements.  All such construction,
     alterations, and maintenance work done by, or for, Tenant, shall comply
     with all Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements, and shall be
     completed in a good and workmanlike manner and with reasonable diligence,
     and will be completed in all material respects in accordance with plans
     prepared by a licensed architect.  If any Expansion will cost more than One
     Million Dollars ($1,000,000), adjusted by the GDP Deflator, (w) Tenant
     shall furnish Landlord with the plans and specifications therefor prior to
     commencing work, (x) the contractor selected by Tenant to perform the work
     shall be subject to Landlord's approval, which approval shall not be
     unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (y) Tenant shall carry
     builder's risk insurance in amounts reasonably sufficient to cover the cost
     of replacement of the work during the course of such construction, and (z)
     upon the request of Landlord or any Mortgagee, Tenant will provide
     appropriate securities, completion bonds, guarantees, or like reasonable
     assurances that construction will be completed.  Tenant shall also furnish
     Landlord with copies of any and all final plans and specifications
     (including all changes and modifications thereto) and all necessary
     governmental permits prepared or issued for all alterations (whether or not
     Landlord's consent was required in connection with such alterations).  With
     respect to any Expansion or other alteration for which Tenant must obtain
     Landlord's consent, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or
     delay such consent.

          (b)  All replacements, alterations and substitutions of Improvements
     and Expansions made to the Premises pursuant to this Article 9.1 (but not
     the replacement FF&E, Fixed Asset Supplies, Operating Equipment or
     Inventories described in Article 10.1) shall be and remain part of the
     realty and the property of Landlord and shall be subject to this Lease.

     Section 9.2  Alterations and Expansions During Last Five Years of Term.
                  ---------------------------------------------------------  
Landlord's prior written consent, which may be withheld in Landlord's sole,
absolute, and subjective discretion, shall be required for any Expansions of or
to the Premises to be constructed during the last five (5) years of the Term
(including any Effective Extended Term); provided, however, that if Tenant shall
then exercise its rights under Section 3.2 to extend the Term hereof so that at
least five (5) years will remain in the Term once the construction is completed,
the provisions of Section 9.1(a) shall apply.

                   ---------------------------                            
Landlord shall make available to Tenant all of the FF&E, Fixed Asset Supplies,
Operating Equipment and Inventories located at the Premises and to be used and
consumed at the Premises during the Term at no further cost to Tenant and the
FF&E shall be owned by Landlord and leased to Tenant hereunder as part of the
Premises.  Landlord shall have no further obligations to provide any additional
FF&E, Fixed Asset Supplies, Operating Equipment or Inventories.  Thereafter
during the Term, Tenant shall, at its own cost, replace FF&E as hereinafter
provided, and shall provide such Fixed Asset Supplies, Operating Equipment and
Inventories as it deems necessary and all such replacement FF&E, Fixed Asset
Supplies, Operating Equipment and Inventories shall be and remain the property
of Tenant.  Tenant shall also repair and replace, as necessary, all Fixtures
which, as such may be repaired or replaced, shall be and remain property of
Tenant.  Tenant shall be obligated to maintain all such Fixtures which are
necessary for the operation of the Hotel in good operating condition.

                   -------------------                                        
days after the end of each Fiscal Year that ends during the Term (for purposes
of this Section 10.2, the "Subject Fiscal Year"), Tenant shall deposit, into a
reserve account to be maintained as a separate interest bearing account with a
bank or banks reasonably acceptable to Landlord (the "FF&E Reserve Account"), an
amount equal to (A) the positive result, if any, of (I) three percent (3%) of
the Operating Revenues for the subject Fiscal Year minus (II) the amount
actually expended by Tenant during the Subject Fiscal Year to repair and/or
replace FF&E, Fixtures, Fixed Asset Supplies and/or Operating Equipment at any
one or more of the Hotels (individually or collectively, the "Renovations"),
minus (B) with respect to each Fiscal Year prior to the Subject Fiscal Year, if
any, the aggregate amount, if any, by which Tenant's expenditures for
Renovations in each such prior Fiscal Year exceeded three percent (3%) of the
Operating Revenues for that Fiscal Year, less the portion of such amount which
has previously been taken into account in determining the amount to be deposited
into the FF&E Reserve Account in and with respect to Fiscal Years prior to the
Subject Fiscal Year, if any.  Tenant shall be entitled to withdraw funds from
such FF&E Reserve Account without Landlord's prior written approval; provided
that Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an annual auditor's statement, with
reasonable supporting detail, within one hundred twenty (120) days of the end of
each Fiscal Year, of all amounts expended for Renovations during such Fiscal
Year, including all amounts withdrawn from the FF&E Reserve Account.

     Section 10.3  FF&E Upon Termination
                   ---------------------

          (a)  Landlord shall have the option, to be exercised by sending Notice
     to Tenant on or before the date that is either (i) six (6) months prior to
     the date of expiration of the Term of this Lease or (ii) the date of
     termination of the Term of this Lease, if this Lease terminates prior to
     the expiration of the Term, to purchase from Tenant upon the date of
     termination of this Lease any or all of the items of FF&E, Furnishings,
     Fixed Asset Supplies, Operating Equipment and Inventories then located at
     the Premises and owned by Tenant at their then fair market value.  If the
     parties are unable to agree upon such fair market value within thirty (30)
     days following such expiration or termination, the parties shall appoint an
     independent appraiser mutually agreeable to them to determine such fair
     market value, which determination shall be net of the cost to Tenant to
     remove such items from the Premises, and which shall be binding on the
     parties.  The costs of such appraiser shall be shared equally by the
     parties.  If Landlord exercises its option to purchase, Landlord shall have
     the right to use, after the date of expiration or termination of this
     Lease, the items of FF&E, Furnishings, Fixed Asset Supplies, Operating
     Equipment and Inventories so elected to be purchased by Landlord and
     Landlord shall pay such fair market value to Tenant within thirty (30) days
     after agreement by the parties or determination by the appraiser; and this
     provision shall survive such expiration or termination.  Landlord shall not
     have the option of purchasing from Tenant any computer software that is
     proprietary to Tenant, any Affiliate, or the licensor of any of them
     (including without limitation applications used by Tenant as part of
     Tenant's accounting, centralized or local sales, business management
     systems and otherwise), or any leased equipment.  The option granted to
     Landlord under this Section 10.3 shall be in addition to, and shall not
     prevent, delay or otherwise restrict Landlord from exercising, any and all
     rights and remedies as against Tenant in the event of a default under this
     Lease, including without limitation, foreclosure of its security interest
     described in Section 10.4.

          (b)  Subject to the provisions of Section 10.3(a), Tenant shall 
     remove, at Tenant's expense, all of its Furnishings, Fixed Asset Supplies
     and Inventories from the Premises on or before the date of expiration or
     termination of this Lease and repair any damage caused to the Premises by
     such removal. If Tenant fails to remove such items by such date and/or
     fails to

                                      25
<PAGE>
 
     repair such damage, Landlord shall have the right to do so and charge
     Tenant the cost therefor together with interest thereon from the date of
     such expenditure until paid at the Lease Interest Rate.  The provisions of
     this Section 10.3 shall survive the expiration or termination of this
     Lease.

---------------------------------------------                             
Tenant of the Rents payable hereunder and the performance of all of Tenant's
obligations under this Lease, Tenant hereby grants to Landlord a security
interest under the Uniform Commercial Code of each of the States in which a
Hotel is located, in the FF&E Reserve Account and in all FF&E, Fixed Asset
Supplies, Operating Equipment and Inventories now or hereafter owned by Tenant
and now or hereafter ordinarily used on or in the Premises.  Tenant shall
execute and deliver to Landlord such documentation as is reasonably necessary to
evidence or perfect said security interest, including without limitation, such
Uniform Commercial Code financing statements and continuation statements as
Landlord determines to be necessary from time to time to perfect and continue
the perfection of Landlord's security interest in such collateral.  Provided no
Event of Default shall exist, Tenant shall have the right to replace any such
collateral, to remove any such collateral from the Premises and dispose of any
such collateral, in the ordinary course of Tenant's business.

                   --------------------------------------------------      
Tenant's trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos, symbols and designs
shall in all events remain the exclusive property of Tenant and its Affiliates,
and nothing contained herein shall confer on Landlord the right to use such
names, trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos, symbols or designs other
than in strict accordance with the terms of this Lease.  Except as provided in
Section 11.2, upon the expiration or termination of this Lease, any use of or
right to use said names, trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos, symbols
or designs by Landlord shall cease forthwith and Tenant shall (at Tenant's sole
cost and expense) promptly remove from the Premises any signs or similar items
which contain any of Tenant's names, trademarks, trade names, service marks,
logos, symbols or designs; provided, however, that Tenant shall be responsible
for the cost of any resulting repairs that may be necessary as a result of such
removal.  Included under the terms of this Section are all trademarks, service
marks, trade names, symbols, logos or designs used in conjunction with the
Premises, including but not limited to restaurant names, lounge names, etc.,
whether or not the marks contain the "Red Lion" name.  The right to use such
trademarks, service marks, trade names, symbols, logos or designs belongs
exclusively to Tenant, and the use thereof inures to the benefit of Tenant
whether or not the same are registered and regardless of the source of the same.

     Section 11.2  Use of Trademarks, Trade Names and Service Marks.  Landlord
                   ------------------------------------------------           
covenants that any items of FF&E, Furnishings, Operating Equipment, Inventories
or Fixed Asset Supplies which are purchased by Landlord upon the expiration or
termination of this Lease, and which are marked with Tenant's name or any Tenant
trademark, trade name, logo, symbol or design, shall be used exclusively in
connection with the Premises until they are consumed; but in no event for more
than sixty (60) days after any such termination of this Lease, unless such
trademark, trade name, logo, symbol or design is thereafter removed from such
items.

     Section 11.3  Proprietary Software.  Any computer software (including
                   --------------------                                   
upgrades and replacements) at the Premises owned by Tenant, an Affiliate, or the
licensor of any of them which is

                                      26

proprietary to Tenant, such Affiliate, or the licensor of any of them and shall
remain proprietary to Tenant and shall in all events remain the exclusive
property of Tenant, the Affiliate, or the licensor of any of them, as the case
may be, and nothing contained in this Lease shall confer on Landlord the right
to use any of such software.  Upon expiration or termination of this Lease,
Tenant shall have the right to remove from the Premises without compensation to
Landlord any computer software (including upgrades and replacements) owned by
Tenant, any Affiliate, or the licensor of any of them, provided Tenant repairs
any damage caused by removing such computer software.

                             ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
                             ---------------------

     Section 12.1  Compliance with Environmental Law
                   ---------------------------------

          (a)  During the Term, Tenant at its cost shall cause the Premises to
     be in compliance with all Environmental Laws, whether or not such
     noncompliance is the result of a breach of Tenant's obligations under
     Sections 12.1(c) or 12.2(b).

          (b)  Tenant shall never during the Term permit Hazardous Materials to
     be (i) generated, used, treated, stored, discharged, released, or otherwise
     disposed of in, on, under, or at, or (ii) transported to or from any of the
     Hotels, in each case other than in the ordinary course of Tenant's
     operation of the Hotels.  If, with or without Tenant's knowledge or
     permission, there is any generation, use, treatment, storage, discharge,
     release, or other disposal of Hazardous Materials in, on, under, or at any
     of the Hotels during the Term other than as permitted in the preceding
     sentence, Tenant shall, subject to the provisions of this Article XII,
     diligently clean up and remove such Hazardous Materials in compliance with
     all applicable Environmental Laws.

          (c)  During the Term and for a period of five (5) years commencing
     after the expiration of the Term, if any Hazardous Materials are discovered
     in, on or under any of the Hotels and result from, are introduced by, or
     arise out of, or the damage from which is materially expanded as a result
     of Tenant's acts or failure to act, its negligence, or the acts or
     negligence of its employees or agents, or the acts or negligence of any
     sublessees, licensees, concessionaires, contractors or entities acting on
     behalf of Tenant or any of their employees or agents, the cost incurred in
     complying with Environmental Laws with respect to such Hazardous Materials
     shall be borne by Tenant.  Tenant's obligation under this Section 12.1(c)
     shall continue after expiration of the Term until no further compliance is
     required with respect to such Hazardous Materials.

          (d)  If during the Term any Hazardous Materials are discovered in, on
     or under any of the Hotels and are the result of migration from a source
     other than any of the Hotels and are not a result of Tenant's acts, its
     negligence, or the acts or negligence of its employees or agents, or the
     acts or negligence of any sublessees, licensees, concessionaires,
     contractors or entities acting on behalf of Tenant or any of their
     employees or agents, the cost incurred in complying with Environmental Laws
     for such Hazardous Materials shall be borne by Tenant.

          (e)  If Tenant is required to implement a plan to investigate,
     monitor, abate or remove Hazardous Materials pursuant to the requirements
     of any Environmental Law, Tenant shall notify Landlord of its planned
     method, time and procedure for such implementation and Landlord shall have
     the right to require reasonable changes in such method, time or procedure.
     Nothing

                                      27
<PAGE>
 
     contained herein shall be deemed to vest any control whatsoever in Landlord
     with respect to Tenant's use, management, or disposal of Hazardous
     Materials on any of the Hotels.

          (f)  During the Term, Landlord may not enter into any agreement,
     settlement or consent order with any third party or governmental entity
     concerning the payment or possible payment of funds, or the investigation,
     monitoring, abatement or removal of Hazardous Materials located in, on, or
     near any of the Hotels without the written consent of Tenant which consent
     shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  If Landlord
     fails to obtain Tenant's written consent prior to entering into any such
     agreement, settlement or consent order, any terms, conditions, obligations
     or liabilities contained therein shall be non-binding on Tenant, Tenant
     shall have no responsibility to Landlord under this Article XII, and
     Landlord shall indemnify Tenant for any costs or losses incurred by Tenant
     as a result of such agreement, settlement or consent order.

          (g)  During the Term, Tenant may not enter into any agreement,
     settlement or consent order with any third party or governmental entity
     concerning the payment or possible payment of funds, or the investigation,
     monitoring, abatement or removal of Hazardous Materials located in, on, or
     near any of the Hotels without the written consent of Landlord if such
     agreement, settlement or consent order will impose any financial
     obligations on (1) Landlord which are to be paid, in whole or in part, at
     any time during the Term or after expiration thereof, or (2) on Tenant
     which are to be paid, in whole or in part, after the expiration of the
     Term.  Landlord's consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
     or delayed.  Failure by Tenant to obtain Landlord's written consent shall
     be an Event of Default.

          (h)  During the Term and so long as no Event of Default exists, Tenant
     may elect to defend any imposition, order, demand, decree, lawsuit or
     governmental action that seeks to impose liability on Tenant or Landlord
     due to the existence of Hazardous Materials in, on, or near any of the
     Hotels.  If Tenant elects to take such action, Tenant shall not be deemed
     to be in violation of any provision of this Article XII so long as such
     action or contest by Tenant does not result in a risk of the imposition of
     any criminal sanctions against Landlord or any of its directors, officers
     or employees; provided, however, if Landlord or Tenant is ultimately held
     liable for the costs associated with the existence of such Hazardous
     Materials, Tenant's liability shall not be reduced by reason of any delay
     in such remediation.

     Section 12.2  Site Assessments
                   ----------------

          (a)  If Landlord has reasonable cause to believe that an Environmental
     Violation may exist on the Premises, or if Landlord desires to sell or
     finance any of the Premises, or if any Mortgagee desires to sell or
     participate its interest in any of the Hotels, or if an Event of Default
     exists, or if there is less than one (1) year remaining prior to the
     expiration of the Term, then, upon written direction by Landlord to Tenant,
     Tenant shall engage such persons as Tenant shall select ("Site Reviewers"),
     such selection subject to the reasonable approval of Landlord, to visit any
     of the Hotels and perform such environmental site investigations and
     assessments ("Site Assessments") as may be necessary to determine whether
     any Environmental Violation exists, and, if any Environmental Violation
     exists, to estimate the cost of remediating any such Environmental
     Violation; provided, however, if an Event of Default exists or if there is
     less than one year remaining prior to the expiration of the Term, Tenant
     shall select the Site Reviewer from a list of no less than five (5)
     nationally recognized Site Reviewers, such list to be provided by Landlord,
     and Landlord and Landlord's Mortgagee, if any, shall have the right to
     approve the

                                      28
<PAGE>
 
     Site Reviewer, such approval to be exercised in a reasonable manner
     recognizing Landlord's significant interest in the adequacy of the report
     and the scope of work to be performed by such Site Reviewer.  Landlord
     shall have the right to approve any guidance or instruction requested by
     such Site Reviewer during the Site Assessment, and Landlord shall have the
     right to confirm that any draft or final reports furnished by such Site
     Reviewers conform to approved scope of work, guidance and instructions,
     provided that such approvals or confirmation shall not be unreasonably
     withheld.  If Tenant fails or refuses to engage Site Reviewers within
     thirty (30) days after such direction, Landlord may engage the Site
     Reviewers.  If an Event of Default or a material Environmental Violation
     exists that was caused by Tenant, its employees or agents, or by any
     sublessee, licensee, concessionaire, contractor or entity acting on behalf
     of Tenant, or any of their employees or agents, the cost of any Site
     Assessment shall be paid by Tenant.  In all other cases, the costs of a
     Site Assessment shall be paid by Landlord or by the Mortgagee requesting
     such Site Assessment, and Tenant may demand adequate assurances that such
     costs will be paid before engaging the Site Reviewers.  Such Site
     Assessments may, at the option of Landlord, include both above and below
     the ground testing and such other tests as may be necessary, in the
     reasonable opinion of the Site Reviewers, to verify the existence of an
     Environmental Violation or to estimate the cost of remediating any such
     Environmental Violation.  Tenant shall supply to the Site Reviewers such
     historical and operational information regarding the Premises as may be
     reasonably requested by the Site Reviewers to facilitate the Site
     Assessments, and shall make available for meetings with the Site Reviewers
     appropriate personnel having knowledge of such matters.  The Site Reviewers
     shall include in their report a statement estimating the cost of any
     remediation, monitoring and other compliance program, if any, necessary to
     cure or remediate such Environmental Violation.  All of the Site Reviewers'
     work shall be made available to Landlord and Tenant.

          (b)  If Tenant fails diligently to pursue any of its obligations under
     this Section 12.2 and such failure continues for a period of thirty (30)
     days after Notice from Landlord, Landlord shall have the right (but no
     obligation), in addition to any other rights or remedies it may have
     pursuant to this Lease or under applicable law, to take any and all
     reasonable actions as Landlord shall deem necessary or advisable in order
     to effect such compliance, for and on behalf of Tenant and at the cost and
     expense of Tenant, including to enter the Premises for the purpose of
     making tests, obtaining samples and surveys and performing any other acts
     as may be reasonably necessary or desirable, in the reasonable discretion
     of Landlord, and reimbursement to Landlord of the cost thereof shall be due
     and payable by Tenant as Additional Rent on demand with interest thereon at
     the Lease Interest Rate from the date such cost is incurred.

          (c)  If, during the Term, an Environmental Violation occurs or is
     found to exist at the Premises which shall impose a liability to Tenant
     after the expiration of the Term pursuant to this Article XII, and in the
     judgment of the Site Reviewers, remediation, monitoring or other compliance
     program relating to any such Environmental Violation has not or will not be
     completed as required by any applicable Environmental Laws by the
     expiration or earlier termination of the Term, then Tenant shall provide to
     Landlord, no later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration or earlier
     termination of the Term, a bond, letter of credit or other security
     reasonably satisfactory to Landlord for 110% of the amount determined by
     the Site Reviewers to be necessary to complete such remediation, monitoring
     or other compliance program.  Upon completion of such remediation,
     monitoring or other action in accordance with the applicable Environmental
     Law, Landlord shall release the security provided by Tenant.  If an
     Environmental Violation occurs because of the existence of Hazardous
     Material in, on or under any of the Hotels in excess of any reportable
     quantity established under any Environmental Law, and Tenant makes

                                      29
<PAGE>
 
     all notifications and undertakes and diligently prosecutes to completion
     all regulatory, remedial or other actions which are required by any
     applicable Environmental Law by any federal, state or local governmental
     agency having jurisdiction over such affected Premises, then Tenant shall
     not be in default under this Lease so long as Tenant diligently pursues any
     and all such actions toward completion, and any action or non-action by
     Tenant does not result in a risk of the imposition of any criminal
     sanctions against Landlord or any of its directors, officers or employees.

     Section 13.1  Property & Business Interruption Insurance.  Tenant shall, at
                   ------------------------------------------                   
its own expense, commencing with the Commencement Date and continuing throughout
the Term, procure and maintain with insurance companies of recognized
responsibility (with a rating of no less than A-VI by A.M. Best, except that
such rating shall not be applicable to those insurers providing flood and
earthquake insurance under this Section), in a manner consistent with prudent
industry practice, property insurance with the following minimum coverages:

          (a)  insurance on the Hotels and Premises (including contents) against
     loss or damage by fire, lightning and all other risks covered by the usual
     standard extended coverage endorsement, and with coverage in the amount of
     not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the replacement cost thereof,
     exclusive of footings and foundations;

          (b)  insurance against loss or damage from explosion of boilers,
     pressure vessels, pressure pipes and sprinklers installed in the Hotels;

          (c)  business interruption insurance covering loss of profits and
     necessary continuing expenses (including Rents payable under this Lease)
     for interruptions caused by any occurrences covered by the insurance
     referred to in Sections 13.1(a) and 13.1(b), for a period of at least
     eighteen (18) months and of a type and in amounts generally carried by
     prudent owners of similar properties;

          (d)  for each Hotel which is located in a zone identified by the
     Federal Emergency management Agency as flood hazard area, flood insurance
     in an amount not less than the maximum limit available under the National
     Flood Insurance Program;

          (e)  if and to the extent such insurance is then carried by prudent
     owners of similar properties:  (i) earthquake insurance and, (ii) for the
     Hotels which are not located in a zone identified by the Federal Emergency
     Management Agency as a flood hazard area, flood insurance; and

          (f)  such other property risk insurance, as may from time to time be
     generally carried by prudent owners of similar properties, in such amounts
     and against such risks as are then customary for property similar in use to
     the Premises.

     Section 13.2  Application of Proceeds
                   -----------------------

          (a)  All proceeds of any insurance payable on account of any casualty
     other than proceeds attributable to Tenant's personal property and other
     than the proceeds of insurance referred to in Section 13.1(c) shall be paid
     to the Insurance Trustee, who shall hold said proceeds in trust for the
     parties in accordance with the provisions of this Section 13.2; provided,
     however, that if the aggregate amount of such proceeds with respect to any
     such casualty is less than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), such
     proceeds shall be paid to Tenant who shall use such proceeds for the
     purpose of restoration of the Premises.  Insurance proceeds attributable to
     Tenant's personal property shall be paid directly to Tenant and shall not
     be considered when making calculations pursuant to the preceding sentence.
     The proceeds of the insurance referred to in Section 13.1 shall be paid to
     Tenant except that any such proceeds attributable to the Rents payable
     under this Lease shall be paid to Landlord (as a credit against such Rents)
     to the extent that such Rents have not been previously paid by Tenant to
     Landlord.

          (b)  Provided that no Tenant default hereunder has occurred and is
     continuing, and provided that Tenant complies with all of the terms and
     conditions of this Section 13.2, all insurance proceeds received with
     respect to a casualty shall be applied to the restoration of the Premises.

          (c)  Tenant shall commence the restoration of the Premises not later
     than the date which is one hundred eighty (180) days after the date upon
     which the casualty occurred and thereafter prosecute the restoration with
     diligence and continuity without regard to whether insurance proceeds
     available to Tenant at any particular time are sufficient to fund the costs
     of such restoration.

          (d)  Prior to commencing any restoration work that will cost more than
     One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) to repair, as adjusted by the GDP
     Deflator, Tenant, at its sole cost shall (i) obtain the services of a
     licensed architect to prepare any required plans and specifications for
     such restoration to the extent that such restoration work cannot be
     performed based upon previously existing plans and specifications for the
     Improvements; and (ii) submit a set of final plans and specifications to
     Landlord and the Senior Landlord's Mortgagee for approval to the extent
     that such restoration work involves a departure from or addition to
     previously existing plans and specifications for the Premises (which
     approval may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed); and
     (iii) the contractor selected by Tenant to perform the work shall be
     subject to Landlord's approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably
     withheld, conditioned or delayed, and (iv) Tenant shall carry builder's
     risk insurance in amounts reasonably sufficient to cover the cost of
     replacement of the work during the course of such construction.

          (e)  In proceeding with such restoration work, Tenant shall first
     expend an amount, if any, equal to the excess of the projected cost of the
     restoration work over the amount of all proceeds paid to the Insurance
     Trustee.  Thereafter, Tenant shall be entitled to submit to the Insurance
     Trustee, not more frequently than once every thirty (30) days, an invoice
     together with such other documentation (including an architect's
     certificate as to the status of work completion, mechanics lien waivers and
     title insurance policy endorsements, all obtained at Tenant's sole cost and
     expense) as is customarily required by lenders at such time making
     construction loans.  Upon receipt of an invoice in proper form, the
     Insurance Trustee shall make a disbursement within ten (10) business days
     equal to the amount shown on the invoice; provided, however, that the
     Insurance Trustee shall not be required to disburse more than 90% of the
     total projected cost of

                                      31
<PAGE>
 
     the work, unless and until it has received all of the following:  (i) final
     mechanics lien waivers from all parties having rights to mechanics liens
     against the Premises on account of such restoration work, (ii) appropriate
     endorsements or policies of title insurance protecting Landlord and
     Mortgagee against mechanics liens arising out of the restoration work, or a
     mechanic's lien bond, and (iii) final certification from the architect that
     the restoration work has been completed in accordance with the plans and
     specifications therefor and all applicable building codes.

          (f)  If (i) the amount disbursed upon final completion of the
     restoration work in accordance with Section 13.2(e) is less than the total
     insurance proceeds then held by the Insurance Trustee, and (ii) no Event of
     Default is existing, such excess shall be paid to Tenant.

          (g)  If Tenant shall fail to prosecute the restoration work with
     diligence and continuity until completion, regardless of whether an Event
     of Default has occurred, Landlord shall have the right to use any proceeds
     held by Insurance Trustee to complete such renovation work.  Tenant shall
     be liable for any sums incurred by Landlord to complete such restoration
     work in excess of the amount held and disbursed by the Insurance Trustee.

          (h)  If an Event of Default has occurred, Tenant shall not have access
     to any insurance proceeds unless and until Tenant shall have cured such
     Event of Default, and until such time, Tenant shall use its own funds to
     prosecute the restoration work.

          (i)  Upon the expiration or termination of this Lease, all insurance
     proceeds received by the Insurance Trustee or Tenant and not applied to the
     costs of restoration shall be paid to Landlord except as otherwise provided
     in Article XXI.

     Section 13.3  Waiver of Rights of Subrogation.  Landlord and Tenant hereby
                   -------------------------------                             
waive their rights of recovery against each other, their respective officers,
directors, agents and employees for loss or damage to the Premises and any
resultant business interruption to the extent covered by the insurance
maintained under Section 13.1.  Should any such policies of insurance require an
endorsement to effect such a waiver, Tenant shall cause them to be so endorsed.

     Section 13.4  Operational Insurance.  Tenant shall, at its own expense,
                   ---------------------                                    
commencing with the Commencement Date and continuing throughout the Term,
procure and maintain operational insurance with reputable insurance companies of
recognized responsibility; provided, however, that with respect to the first One
Million Dollars ($1,000,000) of coverage required by this Section such coverage
shall be obtained from insurance companies authorized to do business in the
United States with a rating of no less than A-VII by A.M. Best.  All other
coverage shall be obtained from one or more insurance companies with an A.M.
Best rating of no less than B+V with respect to domestic insurance companies or
of at least comparable standing if a foreign-based insurer.  Operational
insurance required herein shall have the following minimum coverage:

          (a)  comprehensive or commercial general liability insurance against
     claims for death, bodily injury, or property damage occurring on, in or
     about the Premises, and automobile liability insurance on vehicles operated
     in conjunction with the Premises with a combined single limit of not less
     than One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000) per occurrence or such
     other amounts, with Landlord's consent, that may from time to time be more
     prudent in light of then current practices with respect to insurance costs
     and premiums.

                                      32
<PAGE>
 
          (b)  such other insurance as Tenant in its reasonable judgment deems
     advisable for protection against claims, liabilities and losses arising out
     of or connected with its operation of the Premises.

     Section 13.5  Blanket and Self-Insurance.  All insurance described in
                   --------------------------                             
Sections 13.1 and 13.4 may be obtained by Tenant by endorsement or equivalent
means under its blanket insurance policies, provided that such blanket policies
fulfill the requirements specified herein.  With respect to the insurance
described in Section 13.4, the deductible or self-insured retention limits shall
not exceed Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) (to be increased on the
fifth (5th) anniversary of the Commencement Date and every subsequent fifth
(5th) anniversary thereof by an amount proportionate to the percentage increase
in the GDP Deflator over the preceding five (5) year period) or such other
amounts, with Landlord's consent, that Tenant may reasonably deem from time to
time be more prudent in light of the then current practices with respect to
insurance costs and premiums; provided that, with respect to earthquake
insurance, the deductible shall be no higher than 10% of the building cost.  As
to all insurance described in Section 13.1, deductible limits or self-insured
retentions shall not exceed Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) (to be
increased on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Commencement Date and every
subsequent fifth (5th) anniversary thereof by an amount proportionate to the
percentage increase in the GDP Deflator over the preceding five (5) year period)
or, with respect to "high hazard classification" (as such term is customarily
understood in the insurance industry), such other amount as may then be required
by responsible insurance companies for similar properties and risks.

     Section 13.6  Costs of Insurance.  Insurance premiums and any costs or
                   ------------------                                      
expenses with respect to the insurance described in this Article XIII shall be
borne by Tenant.  Any losses, costs, damages or expenses which fall within the
deductible limits or are included within an allowed self-insurance program
pursuant to Section 13.5 above shall be borne by Tenant. If Tenant shall fail to
pay any premium for any such insurance, or if an Event of Default with respect
to any of the provisions of this Article XIII shall occur, Landlord may pay such
premium or procure the insurance coverages required by this Article XIII and all
amounts paid by Landlord in accordance herewith shall become Additional Rent
which is due and payable within five (5) Business Days after such expenditures
are made.

     Section 13.7  Defense of Claims after Termination.  With respect to any
                   -----------------------------------                      
claim relating to an accident or other occurrence within a given Year for which
Tenant is obligated to indemnify Landlord under Article VIII which is not
finally resolved either through litigation or settlement prior to the expiration
or termination of this Lease, Tenant shall be obligated to continue to defend
such accrued claims regardless of such expiration or termination.

     Section 13.8  Coverage and Certificates.  All insurance policies provided
                   -------------------------                                  
for under Section 13.1 or Section 13.4 above shall be carried in the name of
Tenant, with Landlord and any Mortgagee on the Premises as additional insureds,
and with loss payable, in the case of any policies procured under Section 13.1,
in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.2.  Tenant shall deliver to
Landlord original certificates of insurance with respect to all policies so
procured under Section 13.1 or Section 13.4, including existing, additional and
renewal policy certificates and, in the case of insurance about to expire, shall
deliver certificates of insurance with respect to the renewal policies prior to
the respective dates of expiration.  All insurance policies provided for under
Section 13.1 or Section 13.4 above shall, to the extent obtainable, have
attached thereto an endorsement that such policy shall not be cancelled or
materially changed without at least thirty (30) days' prior written Notice to
Landlord, Tenant, and the holder of any Mortgage.  Upon request by Landlord or
any Mortgagee, the requesting party or its representatives shall be entitled to
examine at Tenant's corporate headquarters all insurance policies maintained by
Tenant with respect to the Premises.

     Section 13.9  Alternative Insurance Coverage.  Notwithstanding any other
                   ------------------------------                            
provision of this Lease to the contrary, if at any time during the Term hereof
Tenant is not able to obtain any one or more of the insurance coverages required
pursuant to this Article XIII because the subject insurance coverage(s) are not
then reasonably available in the insurance marketplace, then Tenant's failure to
so obtain such insurance coverage(s) shall not constitute an Event of Default so
long as Tenant does obtain coverage as similar to that required under this Lease
as is reasonably available.  For purposes of this Section 13.9 the term
"reasonably available" means that type of coverage then obtainable from
reputable insurance companies for properties similar to the Premises and
purchased by prudent owners of businesses similar to that operated by Tenant at
the Premises.

                        DAMAGE BY FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY
                        --------------------------------

     Section 14.1  Damage by Fire or Other Casualty.  If during the Term any of
                   --------------------------------                            
the Hotels shall be damaged or destroyed by fire, or any other casualty or cause
whatsoever, Tenant shall forthwith proceed to repair and/or rebuild the same,
free of all liens, claims and encumbrances, to the same general design and
specification as existed immediately before such damage or destruction occurred,
subject to such delays as may be reasonably attributable to governmental
restrictions or failure to obtain materials or labor, or other causes (other
than financial), whether similar or dissimilar, beyond the control of Tenant.
Materials used in repair shall be as nearly like or superior in quality to
original materials as may then be reasonably procured in regular channels of
supply. All proceeds of insurance carried on the Premises pursuant to Article
XIII hereof and payable as a result of such damage or destruction, other than
proceeds attributable to Tenant's personal property and other than the proceeds
of insurance referred to in Section 13.1(c), shall be used for the purpose of
such repair or rebuilding in accordance with the provisions of Article XIII,
and, if either Landlord or the Insurance Trustee shall fail to make such
insurance proceeds available in violation of the provisions of Article XIII, and
such failure shall continue for a period of 90 days after Notice of such failure
is delivered by Tenant to Landlord, Tenant's obligation to repair and rebuild
hereunder shall be suspended until such time as such insurance proceeds are so
made available. If such insurance proceeds are not so made available within one
(1) year thereafter as a result of a continued violation of the provisions of
Article XIII by the Insurance Trustee or Landlord then, but only then, may
Tenant at its option, terminate this Lease upon ninety (90) days prior Notice to
Landlord. Upon any such termination, Landlord shall have all rights to any
insurance proceeds. If Tenant is not required to repair or rebuild by the terms
or conditions of this Lease, all such insurance proceeds (whether paid to the
Insurance Trustee or Tenant) shall be paid to Landlord. If Tenant is required
to, and does repair or rebuild, any excess insurance proceeds shall be paid to
Tenant.

     Section 14.2  Partial Damage by Fire or Other Casualty.  Upon any partial
                   ----------------------------------------                   
damage or destruction, Tenant shall continue to occupy and use the Premises to
the extent that it may be practicable to do so, and Tenant shall proceed to
repair and/or rebuild the Premises in the manner and at the time described in
Sections 13.2 and 14.1.

     Section 14.3  Damage Occurring After the 10th Anniversary of Commencement
                   -----------------------------------------------------------
Date
----

          (a)  Upon a Major Casualty occurring after the tenth (10th)
     anniversary of the Commencement Date, Tenant shall have the right to
     terminate this Lease with respect to the affected Hotel by so notifying
     Landlord not later than the date which is sixty (60) days after the
     occurrence of such Major Casualty.  If Tenant elects to exercise the right
     described in the preceding sentence, it shall, simultaneously with its
     delivery of its Notice of termination, deliver

                                      34
<PAGE>
 
     to Landlord its irrevocable offer to purchase the applicable portion of the
     Premises for an amount equal to the Fair Market Value thereof.

          (b)  Landlord may accept or reject Tenant's irrevocable offer to
     purchase the applicable portion of the Premises by sending Tenant a Notice
     of rejection or acceptance within thirty (30) days from the date upon which
     Landlord received Tenant's Notice of termination.  If Landlord fails to
     send Tenant a Notice of rejection or acceptance within thirty (30) days of
     its receipt of Tenant's irrevocable offer to purchase the applicable
     portion of the Premises, Landlord shall be deemed to have rejected such
     offer.  If Landlord accepts Tenant's offer to purchase, this Lease shall
     terminate with respect to such portion of the Premises upon the closing of
     such purchase, which shall occur in accordance with the provisions of
     Article XXI.  Upon such termination, Tenant shall pay to Landlord all Rent
     due with respect to such portion of the Premises through such date of
     termination, in addition to the Fair Market Value thereof, and Landlord and
     the Insurance Trustee shall assign to Tenant all their right, title and
     interest in insurance proceeds payable and shall deliver to Tenant any
     insurance proceeds previously paid to, or then held by, either Landlord or
     the Insurance Trustee with respect to such Major Casualty, and Landlord
     shall convey the Premises to Tenant in accordance with the provisions of
     Article XXI.

          (c)  If Landlord rejects or is deemed to reject Tenant's irrevocable
     offer to purchase pursuant to Section 14.3(a), this Lease shall terminate
     with respect to the applicable portion of the Premises on a Base Rent
     payment date specified by Tenant in its Notice of termination which occurs
     not earlier than ninety (90) days nor later than one hundred twenty (120)
     days after Landlord's receipt of Tenant's irrevocable offer to purchase,
     provided that this Lease shall not so terminate unless and until Tenant
     shall have paid all sums due hereunder (including, without limitation, all
     taxes and insurance premiums) with respect to the applicable portion of the
     Premises as of the actual date of termination. Upon such termination,
     Tenant shall vacate the applicable portion of the Premises in accordance
     with the provisions of Section 3.4, and Tenant shall have no right to
     receive any insurance proceeds payable, previously paid to, or then held
     by, either Landlord or the Insurance Trustee with respect to such Major
     Casualty, other than insurance proceeds attributable to Tenant's personal
     property, if any such proceeds have not been paid directly to Tenant in
     accordance with Section 13.2(a).

     Section 14.4  No Abatement of Rent Due to Casualty.  No damages,
                   ------------------------------------              
compensation, or claim shall be payable by Landlord for inconvenience, loss of
business, or annoyance arising from any repair or restoration of any portion of
the Premises or the Improvements. If this Lease is not terminated as a result of
a casualty pursuant to Section 14.3, all proceeds of insurance carried pursuant
to Section 13.1 shall be paid to Tenant (except as otherwise provided in 
Section 13.2). Except with respect to Percentage Rent as set forth in 
Section 5.2(c), there shall be no abatement of Rents following any casualty and
during any period of repair or reconstruction contemplated in this Article 14.

     Section 14.5  Early Termination.  Upon the termination of this Lease
                   -----------------                                     
pursuant to the provisions of Sections 14.3 or 15.4 of this Lease, the Term and
the estate hereby granted shall expire as of the date of such termination in the
same manner and with the same effect as if it were the date set for the normal
expiration of the Term, and Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of
termination.

                                 CONDEMNATION
                                 ------------

     Section 15.1  Notice of Condemnation and Assignment of Rights
                   -----------------------------------------------

          (a)  The party receiving any notice of the kinds specified below with
     respect to any one or more Hotels shall promptly give the other party
     Notice of the receipt, contents and date of the Notice received:

               (i)  Notice of intended condemnation;

               (ii)  Service of any legal process relating to condemnation of
          any portion of any of the Hotels or Improvements;

               (iii)  Notice in connection with any proceedings or negotiations
          with respect to such a condemnation; or

               (iv)  Notice of intent or willingness to make or negotiate a
          private purchase, sale or transfer in lieu of condemnation.

          (b)  Subject to the rights of each party as set forth in this 
     Article XV, each party hereby irrevocably assigns to Insurance Trustee any
     award or payment to which they may be or become entitled by reason of any
     taking of any Hotel or any part thereof, in or by condemnation or other
     eminent domain proceedings pursuant to any law, general or special.
     Insurance Trustee shall distribute all such condemnation proceeds to the
     benefit of Landlord and/or Tenant in accordance with the provisions of this
     Article XV. Each party shall be entitled to participate at its own expense
     in any such proceedings.

     Section 15.2  Tenant's Right to Pursue a Claim.  Notwithstanding anything
                   --------------------------------                           
herein to the contrary, provided that no Tenant default hereunder has occurred
and is continuing, Tenant shall have the right to pursue a claim with and retain
any award from the condemning authority or entity for damage to or loss of
Tenant's leasehold estate in any Hotel or any portion thereof as well as for any
other separate damages that Tenant may suffer; provided, however, that such
award or payment to Tenant is completely separate from and shall in no manner
reduce the award or payment to Landlord for the value of any such Hotel
unencumbered by this Lease.  If the foregoing contingency is not met, any
Tenant's award or payment shall be deemed assigned to the Insurance Trustee
pursuant to Section 15.1.

     Section 15.3  Temporary Taking.  If the use of any Hotel or any part
                   ----------------                                      
thereof is taken in condemnation by any governmental authority under the power
of eminent domain for a period of time, whether definite or indefinite (but less
than the acquisition of a fee simple interest in perpetuity), or whether less
than, equal to or greater than the unexpired portion of the Term of this Lease,
this Lease shall nevertheless continue in full force and effect and Tenant shall
have the right (except as hereinafter provided) to receive the entire award
("Use Award") attributable to the unexpired portion of the Term of this Lease
(including any Effective Extended Term), and Landlord shall have the right to
receive the entire award ("Landlord's Temporary Taking Award") attributable to
the period after the expiration of the Term of this Lease (including any
Effective Extended Term), such allocation between periods to be determined
either (i) by the court in which the complaint in eminent domain was filed (a
request for which determination Tenant shall make to such court) or (ii) absent
a decision by such court, by Landlord using a formula reasonably calculated to
arrive at a fair and equitable allocation, and no claim or demand

                                      36
<PAGE>
 
of any kind shall be made by Tenant against Landlord by reason of such taking,
no claim for abatement of Base Rent or Percentage Rent and other amounts which
may become due under this Lease shall be made by reason of such taking and the
rights and liabilities of the parties hereto shall be the same as if there had
been no such taking.

          (a)  The Use Award, in such amount as may be eventually determined,
     shall be paid to and held in trust by the Insurance Trustee and shall be
     administered as hereinafter set forth.  There shall first be deducted
     therefrom and paid out all legal and other expenses, reasonable in amount,
     which were incurred in obtaining such Use Award, except that Landlord shall
     pay that portion of such expenses (but not to exceed the amount of
     Landlord's Temporary Taking Award) that Landlord's Temporary Taking Award
     bears to the sum of Landlord's Temporary Taking Award and the Use Award.
     The Use Award shall be administered as follows:

               (i)  If any such Use Award shall be in the form of rent
          recoverable for such taking and shall be payable in quarterly (or more
          frequent) installments, the Insurance Trustee shall pay to Landlord
          quarterly such installments of the Use Award on account of and to the
          extent of Tenant's obligations to pay Base Rent and Percentage Rent
          under this Lease; any balance remaining from each such quarterly (or
          more frequent) installment shall be paid by the Insurance Trustee to
          Tenant.  The entire amount of such quarterly (or more frequent)
          installments of the Use Award received by the Insurance Trustee
          (whether paid to Landlord or Tenant) shall be included in the cash
          receipts of Tenant during the quarter when received by the Insurance
          Trustee for purposes of determining Operating Revenues.

               (ii)  If any such Use Award is made in a lump sum or in the form
          of rent recoverable for such taking and is payable in installments
          less frequently than quarterly, the lump sum or other installment
          shall be divided by the number of calendar quarters included in the
          period for which such award has been paid, and the Insurance Trustee
          shall pay to Landlord such quotient quarterly on account of and to the
          extent of Tenant's obligation to pay Base Rent and Percentage Rent
          under this Lease; any balance remaining from each such quarterly
          quotient shall be paid by the Insurance Trustee to Tenant.  The entire
          amount of such quarterly installments of the Use Award received by the
          Insurance Trustee (whether paid to Landlord or Tenant) shall be
          included in the cash receipts of Tenant during the quarter in which
          such quarterly quotient is distributed by the Insurance Trustee to
          Landlord and Tenant for purposes of determining Operating Revenues.

               (iii)  If any such Use Award shall be made for the cost of
          repairs and restoration following termination of such temporary
          taking, then the Insurance Trustee shall apply the same to Tenant's
          obligation hereunder to repair and restore as herein provided.

          (b)  Any Use Award deposited with the Insurance Trustee shall be
     invested by the Insurance Trustee in an interest-bearing account, with
     interest to be added to the amount of the Use Award and distributed as part
     of the Use Award in accordance with the provisions of this Section 15.3.
     All such interest shall be included in Operating Revenues for the month in
     which such interest is distributed by the Insurance Trustee.

     Section 15.4  Total Taking.  If, during the Term, all or substantially all
                   ------------                                                
of any Hotel shall be taken in or by condemnation or other eminent domain
proceedings pursuant to any law, general or special, then this Lease shall
terminate with respect to such Hotel on the date such taking becomes

                                      37
<PAGE>
 
effective.  Tenant shall pay all Rent and all other sums due hereunder
(including, without limitation, all taxes and insurance premiums) through such
date with respect to such Hotel.  All condemnation proceeds shall belong to and
be paid to Landlord, except that, to the extent such proceeds exceed the Fair
Market Value thereof as of such termination date, such excess shall be paid to
Tenant up to an amount equal to any unamortized investments made by Tenant in
Expansions, with any remaining portion of such excess being payable to Landlord.

     Section 15.5  Substantial Taking
                   ------------------

          (a)  Upon a Substantial Taking of any Hotel, Tenant shall have the
     right to terminate this Lease with respect to such Hotel by so notifying
     Landlord not later than the date which is sixty (60) days after the
     occurrence of such Substantial Taking.  If Tenant elects to exercise the
     right described in the preceding sentence, it shall, simultaneously with
     its delivery of its Notice of termination, deliver to Landlord its
     irrevocable offer to purchase such Hotel for an amount equal to the Fair
     Market Value thereof.

          (b)  Landlord may reject or accept Tenant's irrevocable offer to
     purchase such Hotel by sending Tenant a Notice of such rejection or
     acceptance within thirty (30) days from the date upon which Landlord
     received Tenant's Notice of termination.  If Landlord fails to send Tenant
     a Notice of rejection or acceptance within thirty (30) days of its receipt
     of Tenant's irrevocable offer to Purchase such Hotel, Landlord shall be
     deemed to have rejected such offer.  If Landlord accepts Tenant's offer to
     purchase, this Lease shall terminate with respect to such Hotel on a Base
     Rent payment date specified by Tenant in its Notice of termination which
     occurs not earlier than ninety (90) days nor later than one hundred twenty
     (120) days after Landlord's receipt of Tenant's irrevocable offer to
     purchase.  Upon such termination, Tenant shall pay Landlord all Rent due
     with respect to such Hotel through such date in addition to the Fair Market
     Value thereof, and Landlord and the Insurance Trustee shall assign to
     Tenant all their right, title and interest in condemnation proceeds payable
     and shall deliver to Tenant any condemnation proceeds previously paid to,
     or then held by, either Landlord or the Insurance Trustee with respect to
     such Substantial Taking, and Landlord shall convey such Hotel to Tenant in
     accordance with the provisions of Article XXI.

          (c)  If Landlord rejects or is deemed to reject Tenant's irrevocable
     offer to purchase pursuant to Section 15.5(a), this Lease shall terminate
     with respect to the affected Hotel on a Base Rent payment date specified by
     Tenant in its Notice of termination which occurs not earlier than ninety
     (90) days nor later than one hundred twenty (120) days after Landlord's
     receipt of Tenant's irrevocable offer to purchase, provided that this Lease
     shall not terminate with respect to such Hotel unless and until Tenant
     shall have paid all sums due hereunder (including, without limitation, all
     taxes and insurance premiums) as of the actual date of termination. Upon
     such termination, all condemnation proceeds shall be delivered to Landlord
     and Tenant shall vacate such Hotel in accordance with the provisions of
     Section 3.4.

     Section 15.6  Partial Taking
                   --------------

          (a)  Upon a Substantial Taking of any Hotel pursuant to which Tenant
     has not given an irrevocable offer to purchase pursuant to the provisions
     of Section 15.5, Tenant shall be obligated to restore the portion of such
     Hotel not taken by the governmental authority to a condition as good as or
     better than the condition which prevailed thereon and therein prior to such
     condemnation as nearly as is practicable under the circumstances,
     regardless of whether the

                                      38
<PAGE>
 
     condemnation proceeds are sufficient to complete such restoration.  Upon an
     Insubstantial Taking, Tenant shall not be obligated to replace any
     landscaping or facilities taken by the governmental authority but shall
     only be obligated to repair any damage to the portion of the affected Hotel
     not taken by the governmental authority.  Materials used in repair and
     restoration shall be as nearly like or superior in quality to the original
     materials as may then be reasonably procured in regular channels of supply,
     and construction shall be completed in a workmanlike manner free of all
     liens and encumbrances.  All condemnation proceeds payable on account of
     such condemnation other than proceeds attributable to Tenant's personal
     property shall be paid to the Insurance Trustee who shall hold said
     proceeds in trust for the parties in accordance with the provisions of this
     Section 15.6.

          (b)  Tenant shall commence the restoration of any affected Hotel as
     soon as practicable, but in no event later than the date which is one
     hundred eighty (180) days after the date upon which the condemnation
     occurred, and thereafter shall prosecute the restoration with diligence and
     continuity. The provisions of Section 13.2(d) and 13.2(e) shall apply to
     any such restoration.

          (c)  If the amount disbursed in accordance with Section 13.2(e) shall 
     be less than the total condemnation proceeds, such excess shall be
     distributed to Landlord.

          (d)  Any award attributable to personal property owned by Tenant that
     is not attributable to FF&E owned by Landlord shall be paid to Tenant.  Any
     award attributable to FF&E owned by Tenant shall be paid to Tenant and
     applied by Tenant for the purpose of replacing such FF&E if and to the
     extent that the Hotel requires such replacement FF&E to be fully
     operational.

          (e)  Upon a condemnation that is an Insubstantial Taking, there shall
     be no reduction in or abatement of the Base Rent or Percentage Rent
     thereafter payable by Tenant.  Upon a condemnation that is a Substantial
     Taking and if this Lease is not terminated pursuant to Section 15.5, there
     shall be a reduction in the Base Rent payable by Tenant effective as of the
     date of the Substantial Taking in an amount equal to the lesser of:  
     (i) 7 1/2% of the condemnation award received by Landlord with respect to
     such affected Hotel; or (ii) an amount equal to the Base Rent shown for
     such Hotel on Exhibit B, multiplied by the Partial Condemnation Reduction
     Percentage.

          (f)  If Tenant shall fail to prosecute the restoration work with
     diligence and continuity until completion, regardless of whether an Event
     of Default has occurred, Landlord shall have the right to use any proceeds
     held by Insurance Trustee to complete such restoration work.  Tenant shall
     be liable for any sums incurred by Landlord to complete such restoration
     work in excess of the amount held and disbursed by the Insurance Trustee.

          (g)  If an Event of Default has occurred, Tenant shall not have access
     to any condemnation proceeds unless and until Tenant shall have cured such
     Event of Default, and until such time, Tenant shall use its own funds to
     prosecute the restoration work.

                        -------------------------------

     Section 16.1  Sale or Assignment by Landlord, Subject to Lease.  Landlord
                   ------------------------------------------------           
shall have the right to assign or transfer its interest in this Lease in
connection with a Sale of a Hotel subject to this Lease

                                      39
<PAGE>
 
which shall remain in full force and effect, but may be evidenced by a separate
lease agreement on the same terms and conditions, except that Base Rent shall be
calculated in accordance with the amounts shown on Exhibit B and Percentage Rent
shall be calculated based solely on the Operating Revenues of such Hotel (or
Hotels) alone.  For purposes of calculating Percentage Rent under this Lease,
the Base Revenues attributed to such Hotel shall be deducted from total Base
Revenues for purposes of the next Percentage Rent due to Landlord hereunder.  In
the event such sale or assignment takes place at any time other than the end of
a Lease Year, Percentage Rent for both the Hotel or Hotels so assigned and the
then remaining Hotels shall be calculated based on a proration computed in
accordance with the number of days in the Partial Lease Year.   Furthermore,
Landlord shall have right to assign or transfer without restriction its interest
in this Lease as collateral security with respect to any financing secured by an
interest in the Premises.  Upon any Sale of a Hotel, Landlord shall assign this
Lease to the purchaser and, concurrently with the finalization thereof, the
purchaser shall, by an appropriate written instrument, assume (subject to the
provisions of Section 22.24) all of Landlord's obligations hereunder.  Any
attempted sale or assignment in violation of the provisions of this Section 16.1
shall be void and without effect.  Within thirty (30) days after Landlord sends
Notice to Tenant advising Tenant of the name, identity and address of any
proposed assignee or transferee and requesting a determination as to whether the
proposed assignment or transfer would violate the requirements of the first
sentence of this Section 16.1, Tenant shall advise Landlord by Notice to
Landlord whether or not such proposed assignment or transfer would violate such
requirements and, if so, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such
violation (which Notice shall be binding upon Tenant), and if Tenant fails to
send such Notice to Landlord prior to the expiration of such thirty (30) day
period, such assignment or transfer shall be deemed to comply with the
requirements of the first sentence of this Section 16.1.

     Section 16.2  Assignment by Tenant.  Tenant shall have the right to
                   --------------------                                 
transfer or assign its interest in any Hotel demised hereunder without
Landlord's consent provided that (w) the transferee or assignee is a corporation
organized under the laws of any state in the United States and in good standing
and authorized to do business in each state in which any of the Hotels is
located, (x) such transferee or assignee assumes this Lease by an appropriate
writing, (y) Tenant shall continue to remain liable under all of the provisions
of this Lease and (z) Tenant first obtains the consent of any and all applicable
ground lessors, if such consent is required.

     Section 16.3  Tenant's Right to Sublease.  Tenant may sublease space or
                   --------------------------                               
grant concessions or licenses at any of the Hotels so long as the terms of any
such subleases, concessions or licenses do not exceed the Term and shall expire
upon any termination of this Lease.

                                  HOLDING OVER
                                  ------------

     Should Tenant continue to hold any Hotel after the termination of this
Lease, whether the termination occurs by lapse of time or otherwise, such
holding over, unless otherwise agreed to by Landlord in writing, shall
constitute and be construed as a tenancy at sufferance at a daily Rent equal to
1/30th of an amount equal to two hundred percent (200%) of the monthly Base Rent
last in effect and subject to all of the other obligations imposed on Tenant
hereunder, but the foregoing shall not constitute a consent by Landlord to such
holding over and shall not prevent Landlord from exercising any of its remedies
under this Lease or applicable law by reason of such holding over.

                             ---------------------

          Tenant agrees to furnish periodically, within ten (10) days after
written request therefor by Landlord, or any actual or prospective Mortgagee for
any Hotel, or any interest of Landlord therein or any actual or prospective
purchaser of Landlord's interest, a certificate signed by Tenant (which may
require a true and correct copy of this Lease and any and all amendments hereto
to be attached) certifying (to the extent same is true) to the then current Rent
due hereunder; that Tenant is not in default hereunder; that this Lease is in
full force and effect and unmodified; that the Term has commenced and the full
rental is then accruing hereunder; that no Rent under this Lease has been paid
more than ninety (90) days in advance of its due date; that the address for
Notices to be sent to Tenant is as set forth in this Lease (or has been changed
by Notice duly given and is as set forth in the certificate); that Tenant has no
knowledge of any default by Landlord then existing under this Lease; and such
other matters as may be reasonably requested by Landlord or any Mortgagee,
prospective Mortgagee or prospective purchaser.  If Tenant is unable to so
certify as to one or more of the foregoing items, Tenant shall specify its
reason therefor in writing.  Any such certificate may be relied upon by any
prospective purchaser, ground lessor, Mortgagee, or any beneficiary under any
deed of trust on the Improvements or the Land or any part thereof.  Landlord
agrees to furnish periodically, within ten (10) days after written request
therefor by Tenant or any actual or prospective Mortgagee, a certificate signed
by Landlord containing substantially the same information as described above.

     Section 19.1  Right to Finance
                   ----------------

          Landlord shall have the right, at any time, and from time to time, to
subject its interest in any of the Hotels to one or more Mortgages without
Tenant's consent.  Landlord also acknowledges that, concurrently with the
Commencement Date, Tenant's interests under this Lease shall be collaterally
assigned to Tenant's Mortgagee and that Tenant from time to time may secure
additional financings and/or refinancings with all or some portion of its
interests hereunder.  Landlord agrees to cooperate with Tenant with respect to
any such financings; provided, however, that Landlord shall have no obligation
to amend the terms of this Lease, expend any sums in connection therewith, or
subordinate or waive any of its rights hereunder.

     Section 19.2  Priority
                   --------

          (a)  Landlord agrees that this Lease and any extensions, renewals,
     replacements or modifications thereto and all right and interest of Tenant
     in and to the Hotels shall be superior to any and all Mortgages now or
     hereafter granted by Landlord.

          (b)  As more particularly described herein, Tenant has no right to
     cancel, rescind or terminate this Lease except as expressly provided in the
     particular provisions specified herein.  If Tenant exercises any such right
     to cancel or terminate this Lease with respect to a specific Hotel or
     Hotels, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect with respect to
     all other Hotels leased hereunder.

          (c)  If at any time there shall occur a foreclosure action with
     respect to the interest of Landlord under this Lease, or a deed in lieu of
     foreclosure, or any similar action or proceeding, then (i) this Lease shall
     not terminate, and (ii) Tenant shall attorn to and recognize the purchaser
     at such foreclosure sale (whether such person is the Mortgagee or another
     person or entity) or the grantee of a deed in lieu of foreclosure as
     Tenant's Landlord under this Lease, except that neither such purchaser or
     grantee, nor anyone claiming by, through or under any such person or
     grantee, shall be:

               (i)  liable for any action or omission of Landlord (or its
          predecessors in interest);

               (ii)  subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant may have
          against Landlord (or its predecessors in interest); or

               (iii)  bound by any payment of Rent which Tenant might have made
          to Landlord (or its predecessors in interest) for more than one month
          in advance of the date the same was due under this Lease; but the
          foregoing shall not relieve any such purchaser or grantee, or anyone
          claiming by, through or under any such purchaser or grantee from
          performing all obligations of Landlord under this Lease with respect
          to each Hotel so owned after it acquires title to such Hotels.

     Section 19.3  Mortgagee Amendments.  If at any time, any prospective
                   --------------------                                  
Mortgagee requests any change or modification to this Lease as a condition of
granting a Mortgage to either Landlord or Tenant, the other party shall consent
to such change or modification provided that (i) the requesting party bears the
cost of preparing all documentation required to effect such change or
modification; (ii) such change or modification does not materially and adversely
increase the other party's cost of operating any of the Hotels or performing its
obligations under this Lease; and (iii) such change does not materially and
adversely affect the rights of the other party and/or its Mortgagees hereunder.
Examples of modifications to which each party shall consent include, without
limitation, obligations to give copies of notices and other documents to
Mortgagees where one party has previously agreed to give same to the other, to
obtain a Mortgagee's consent or approval where one party has previously agreed
to obtain the other's consent or approval, to allow a Mortgagee to act for the
requesting party if such party fails to exercise a right granted to it
hereunder, and provisions which govern the relationship between the other party
and Mortgagee.

     Section 20.2  Landlord's Rights Upon an Event of Default
                   ------------------------------------------

          (a)  If an Event of Default occurs, then Landlord may commence doing
     any one or more of the following provided that such commencement is prior
     to the date that Tenant cures such default:

               (i)  Terminate this Lease upon ten (10) days Notice to Tenant, in
          which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to
          Landlord and Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for all Surviving
          Obligations and to the extent provided in Article XVII and to the
          extent hereinafter provided in this Section 20.2(a). If Tenant fails
          to do so, Landlord may, without Notice and without prejudice to any
          other remedy Landlord may have, enter upon and take possession of any
          or all of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and its effects
          without being liable to prosecution or any claim for damages therefor.
          Tenant shall indemnify Landlord for all loss and damage which Landlord
          may suffer by reason of such Termination, whether through inability to
          relet any or all of the Premises or otherwise, including any loss of
          Rent for the remainder of the Term. In connection with Landlord's
          exercise of the remedy described in this Subparagraph, Landlord shall
          have the right to seize and take possession of all of Tenant's FF&E
          located at the Hotels and either use same in connection with operating
          the property or dispose of same as Landlord sees fit to do. To the
          greatest extent permitted by law, Tenant hereby fully, finally and
          forever waives any and all protections provided by applicable law
          against Landlord's right of distraint.

               (ii)  Enter upon and take possession of any or all of the
          Premises as Tenant's agent, with the right but not the obligation of
          terminating this Lease and without being liable to prosecution or any
          claim for damages therefor, and Landlord may relet any or all of the
          Premises either in its own name or as Tenant's agent and in either
          event receive the rent therefor, in any of which events Tenant shall
          pay to Landlord on demand (i) any and all costs of re-leasing,
          renovating, repairing, and altering any or all of the Premises and/or
          the Hotels (including but not limited to advertising costs,
          commissions, finders fees, legal fees and other costs) for a new
          Tenant or Tenants and (ii) any deficiency that may arise by reason of
          such reletting from the net income from the Hotels that Landlord would
          have received if there had not been a default by Tenant.  In addition,
          to the extent any of the Hotels are not relet, Tenant shall continue
          to be obligated to satisfy all of its obligations under this Lease.
          In connection with Landlord's exercise of the remedy described in this
          Subparagraph, Landlord shall have the right to seize and take
          possession of all of Tenant's FF&E located in the Hotels and either
          use same in connection with

                                      44
<PAGE>
 
          operating the property or dispose of same as Landlord sees fit to do.
          To the greatest extent permitted by law, Tenant hereby fully, finally
          and forever waives any and all protections provided by applicable law
          against Landlord's right of distraint.

               (iii)  Do whatever Tenant is obligated to do under this Lease and
          enter any or all of the Hotels without being liable to prosecution or
          any claim for damages therefor to accomplish this purpose.  Tenant
          shall reimburse Landlord, as Additional Rent, immediately upon demand
          for any expenses which Landlord incurs in thus effecting compliance
          with this Lease on Tenant's behalf, together with interest thereon
          from the date of such expenditure until paid at the Lease Interest
          Rate.

               (iv)  Bring a summary proceeding/action for ejectment in order to
          recover possession of any or all of the Hotels.

               (v)  Landlord hereby reserves the right to institute successive
          legal actions to collect any damages payable to Landlord hereunder, it
          being intended that a suit for damages shall not bar any subsequent
          suit for damages that have subsequently accrued.

               (vi)  Accelerate the Base Rents due under this Lease.  Upon any
          termination pursuant to subsection 20.2(a)(i) hereunder, in addition
          to all other rights and remedies it may have under this Lease,
          Landlord may recover from Tenant: (A) the worth at the time of award
          of any unpaid Rent which has been earned at the time of such
          termination, plus (B) the worth at the time of award of any unpaid
          Rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of
          award (less any rental loss which applicable law requires Landlord to
          mitigate and which is proved by Tenant that Landlord could reasonably
          have avoided), plus (C) the worth at the time of award of the amount
          of the unpaid Rent for the balance of the term of this Lease after the
          time of award (less any rental loss that Tenant proves reasonably
          could be avoided if applicable law requires such to be deducted), plus
          (D) any other amount in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may
          be permitted from time to time under applicable law.  The discount
          rate to be used in computing the amount of Base Rent due hereunder
          shall be equal to the effective annual yield prevailing on the date
          the Event of Default occurred with respect to United States treasury
          obligations having a maturity date that is the same or nearest to the
          date on which this Lease would have expired if no Event of Default
          occurred.

          (b)  If an Event of Default has occurred under Section 20.1(b), then,
     notwithstanding anything in applicable law to the contrary, Landlord shall
     have no obligation whatsoever to mitigate any of its damages.  If any other
     Event of Default shall have occurred, Landlord shall be obligated to
     mitigate its damages only to the extent it is required to do so under
     applicable law.

     Section 20.3  Implied Waiver
                   --------------

          (a)  No act or thing done by Landlord or its agents during the Term
     shall constitute an acceptance of an attempted surrender of the premises,
     and no agreement to accept a surrender of the Premises shall be valid
     unless made in writing and signed by Landlord.  No re-entry or taking
     possession of the Premises by Landlord pursuant to Section 20.2(a)(ii) or
     otherwise shall constitute an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease,
     unless a written Notice of such

                                      45
<PAGE>
 
     intention is given to Tenant.  No waiver by Landlord of any breach of this
     Lease shall constitute a waiver of any other violation or breach of any of
     the terms hereof.

          (b)  No provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by
     Landlord or Tenant unless such waiver is in writing and signed by such
     party.  The rights granted to Landlord and Tenant in this Lease shall be
     cumulative of every other right or remedy which Landlord or Tenant may
     otherwise have at law or in equity or by statute, and the exercise of one
     or more rights or remedies shall not prejudice or impair the concurrent or
     subsequent exercise of other rights or remedies.

     Section 20.4  Injunctive Relief.  Landlord shall be entitled to obtain
                   -----------------                                       
injunctive relief in case of the violation, or attempted or threatened
violation, of any of the provisions hereof, or to a decree compelling
performance of any of the provisions hereof, to the extent that any such relief
is provided by a court of equity.

"As Is" on the date of transfer and otherwise as provided in Section 1.1 hereof.
Landlord shall convey title to such Hotel to Tenant in the same condition of

however, to (i) the lien of real estate taxes, water and sewer charges and other
governmental charges that are not then due and payable, (ii) all restrictions,
limitations, covenants, easements and encroachments that were created after the
Commencement Date other than those created by Landlord without the written
consent of Tenant, and (iii) all Legal Requirements, but free of the following
items ("Landlord Obligations"): (x) the lien of any security interest created by
any Mortgage on Landlord's interest, (y) the lien of any judgment, tax
assessment or other obligation incurred by Landlord that is not the
responsibility of Tenant under this Lease, and (z) any liens created on and
after the Commencement Date which have been created by or resulted solely from
acts of Landlord undertaken without the written consent of Tenant. Landlord
shall pay off and discharge all Landlord Obligations at closing of Tenant's
purchase of such Hotel, but Landlord shall have the right to apply the purchase
price proceeds for the purpose of discharging such Landlord Obligations.

     Section 21.2  Timing of Closing.  If Landlord accepts Tenant's irrevocable

Landlord shall deliver to the Closing Escrow Agent:

          (a)  a deed ("Landlord's Deed") conveying such Hotel to Tenant or
     Tenant's designee and containing no warranties other than a warranty that
     any of the Hotels are not subject to: (i)

                                      46
<PAGE>
 
     the lien of any security interest created by an Mortgage executed by
     Landlord on Landlord's interest, (ii) the lien of any judgment, tax
     assessment or other obligation incurred by Landlord that is not the
     responsibility of Tenant under this Lease and (iii) any liens created on or

     from acts of Landlord undertaken without the consent of Tenant.

          (b)  a written instrument (the "Assignment"), without warranty of
     title, assigning and transferring to Tenant or Tenant's designee (i)
     Landlord's interest in any FF&E leased by Landlord to Tenant hereunder and
     any licenses or permits relating to such Hotel and (ii) Landlord's interest
     in any insurance proceeds payable with respect to any casualty that has
     previously occurred to such Hotel (if any) (which assignment of insurance
     proceeds shall be consented to by the Insurance Trustee).  If and to the
     extent that there are any insurance proceeds previously paid to Landlord or
     the Insurance Trustee which have not been applied for the purpose of repair
     or restoration and are then held by Landlord or the Insurance Trustee,
     Landlord and the Insurance Trustee, as the case may be, shall deliver such
     insurance proceeds (the "Escrowed Insurance Proceeds") to the Closing
     Escrow Agent.  Tenant shall deliver to the closing Escrow Agent current
     immediately available funds in the amount of the purchase price and any
     costs payable by Tenant hereunder that are set forth in Section 21.7
     ("Tenant's Funds").  Closing Agent shall then proceed to consummate the
     Closing in accordance with local custom and practice.

     Section 22.2  Memorandum of Lease
                   -------------------

          (a)  Landlord and Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver a
     memorandum of this Lease (a "Lease Memorandum") in recordable form setting
     forth the date and general description of this Lease, the names of the
     parties hereto, the Commencement Date, the Expiration Date, a description
     of the Land and the Hotels, Tenant's rights to renew this Lease, Landlord's
     disclaimer of liability for mechanic's liens attributable to Tenant's use,
     occupancy and possession of the Hotels, and such other provisions of this
     Lease (including, if necessary or advisable under applicable law, the
     incorporation by reference of all of the terms of this Lease) as either
     party may designate.  Said Lease Memorandum shall not in any circumstances
     be deemed to modify or to change any of the provisions of this Lease.

          (b)  Tenant shall after the expiration or termination of the Term, at
     the request of Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a
     memorandum in recordable form evidencing the expiration or Termination of
     this Lease.

     Section 22.3  Determination of Fair Market Value
                   ----------------------------------

          (a)  If it becomes necessary to determine the Fair Market Value of any
     Hotel for any purpose of this Lease, the party required or permitted to
     give notice of such required determination shall give the other party
     Notice that such determination is required and shall set forth such party's
     estimate of the Fair Market Value of the Hotel to be valued.  The parties
     shall thereupon attempt, in good faith, to agree upon the Fair Market Value
     of such Hotel within 10 days of such Notice.  Failing any agreement within
     such 10 day period, the party who gave such

                                      49
<PAGE>
 
     Notice shall send a second notice of such required determination and shall
     include in such Notice the name of a Person selected to act as appraiser on
     its behalf.  Within 10 days after receipt of any such notice, Landlord or
     Tenant, as the case may be, shall by notice to Tenant or Landlord, as the
     case may be, appoint a second Person as appraiser on its behalf.  Each
     appraiser must be licensed as an appraiser in the State and be a member of
     the Appraisal Institute (or any successor organization thereto).

          (b)  After appointment, the appraisers shall, within 45 days after the
     date of the notice appointing the first appraiser, determine the Fair
     Market Value of the Hotel as of the date it becomes necessary to determine
     the Fair Market Value (giving effect to the impact, if any, of inflation
     from that date to the date the appraisers determine such Fair Market
     Value); provided, however, that if only one appraiser shall have been so
     appointed, or if two appraisers shall have been so appointed but only one
     such appraiser shall have made such determination within the required 45
     days, then the determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding
     upon the parties.

          (c)  Unless the parties otherwise jointly instruct the appraisers in
     writing to the contrary, the appraisers shall value the Hotel at Fair
     Market Value pursuant to the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal
     Practice and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the Appraisal
     Institute's Standards of Professional Practice, and in accordance with
     generally accepted appraisal methodology.

          (d)  Subject to Sections 22.3(d)(i) and 22.3(d)(ii), if two 
     appraisers shall have been appointed and shall have made their
     determinations of the Fair Market Value of the Hotel within the required 
     45-day period, then the Fair Market Value of that property shall be an
     amount equal to the sum of fifty percent (50%) of each appraiser's
     determination.

               (i)  If the difference between the appraisals made pursuant to
          Section 22.3(b) shall exceed ten percent (10%) of the lesser of such
          amounts, then the appraisers shall have 20 days to appoint a third
          appraiser.  If such appraisers fail to appoint such third appraiser,
          then either party may request the American Arbitration Association (or
          any successor organization) or a court (having jurisdiction over such
          appointment) to appoint the third appraiser.  The third appraiser
          shall be licensed as an appraiser in the State and be a member of the
          Appraisal Institute.  If a third appraiser is not appointed under this
          Section 22.3(d)(i), then the Fair Market Value of the Hotel shall be
          determined as provided for in Section 22.3(d) notwithstanding this
          Section 22.3(d)(i).

               (ii)  Any appraiser appointed by the original appraisers, by the
          American Arbitration Association or by an appropriate court shall be
          instructed to determine the Fair Market Value within 30 days after
          appointment of such appraiser.  The determination of the appraiser
          which differs most in terms of dollar amount from the determinations
          of the other two appraisers shall be excluded, and fifty percent (50%)
          of the sum of the remaining two determinations shall be final and
          binding upon Landlord and Tenant as the Fair Market Value for the
          Hotel.

          (e)  This provision for determination by appraisal shall be
     specifically enforceable to the extent such remedy is available under
     applicable law, and any determination hereunder shall be final and binding
     upon the parties except as otherwise provided by applicable law.  Landlord
     and Tenant shall each pay the fees and expenses of the appraiser appointed
     by it and each shall pay

                                      50
<PAGE>
 
     one-half of the fees and expenses of the third appraiser and one-half of
     all other costs and expenses incurred in connection with each appraisal.

     Section 22.4  Partial Invalidity.  If any portion of this Lease shall be

hardship on Tenant or Landlord, constitute a substantial deviation from the
general intent and purpose of said parties as reflected in this Lease, or deny
either Tenant or Landlord to a material extent a right or benefit pursuant to

                    ----------------------------

shall be valid or effective unless agreed to and accepted in writing by Landlord
and the Senior Mortgagee if any, and no act by Landlord or any representative or
agent of Landlord, other than a written acceptance, shall constitute an
acceptance of any such surrender.

                    ---------------------------                               
the contrary notwithstanding, any claim based on or in respect of any liability
of Landlord under this Lease shall be enforced only against the Premises and not
against any other tangible or intangible assets, properties or funds of (i)
Landlord, (ii) any shareholder of Landlord or any director, officer, general
partner, limited partner, employee or agent of Landlord, (or any legal
representative, heir, estate, successor or assign of any thereof), (iii) any
predecessor or successor partnership or corporation (or other entity) of
Landlord, or any of its shareholders, either directly or through Landlord or its
shareholders or any predecessor or

                                      53

successor partnership or corporation or their shareholders, officers, directors,
employees or agents (or other entity), or (iv) any other Affiliate of any of the
foregoing, or any director, officer, employee or agent of any thereof; provided,
however, that if, as a result of a judicial foreclosure of any Mortgage, the
interest of Landlord in any Hotel is transferred to a Mortgagee or any other
person or entity and at the date of such foreclosure, Tenant has a legal
proceeding against Landlord, which is determined adversely to Landlord after the
exhaustion of all appeal periods, Tenant shall have the right to enforce any

     may not be modified orally or in any manner other than as provided in
     Section 22.8.  All prior written and oral understandings and agreements
     shall be deemed to have merged into this Lease and have no further force
     and effect.

          (b)  Landlord and Tenant are business entities having substantial
     experience with the subject matter of this Lease and have each fully
     participated in the negotiation and drafting of this Lease.  Accordingly,
     this Lease shall be construed without regard to the rule that ambiguities
     in a document are to be construed against the drafter.

          (c)  No inferences shall be drawn from the fact that the final, duly
     executed Lease differs in any respect from any previous draft hereof.

          (d)  If there is more than one Tenant, the obligations of each shall
     be joint and several.

     Section 22.26  Waiver of Trial by Jury.  The parties hereto each waive, to

and/or to recover damages for any breach by Landlord hereunder; provided,
however, that Tenant shall not have the right (i) to terminate this Lease
(except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease) by reason of any
breach of Landlord's obligations hereunder; (ii) to set-off against Rents
hereunder any amounts owing to Tenant by Landlord; or (iii) to assert by way of
defense, cross-claim or counterclaim in any action by Landlord to recover Rent
or other sums due from Tenant any right to withhold Rent or to pay less than the
amount due hereunder.  Any exercise of Tenant's rights hereunder shall be
through a separate and independent action unrelated to any claim Landlord has
against Tenant for Rent due hereunder.

     Section 22.28  Landlord and Tenant Relationship.  The parties hereto
                    --------------------------------                     
specifically acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding any other provision
contained in this Lease (including the provisions for payment of Percentage
Rent), it is the intent of the parties that their relationship hereunder is and
shall at all times be that of Landlord and Tenant and not that of partners,
joint venturers, lender and borrower, agent, or any other relationship other

                                      54

day of the Term, or (ii) to persuade the ground lessor to enter into a separate
ground lease directly with Tenant following the termination of said ground
lease.

provisions hereof, none of the obligations of Landlord under or contemplated by
this Lease shall be an obligation of any officer, director, shareholder, limited
partner, general partner, or owner of Landlord, or any of their respective
officers, directors, shareholders, limited partners, general partners, or
owners, or successors or assigns.  Landlord shall be the only person or entity
liable with respect to such obligations.  Tenant hereby irrevocably waives any
right it may have against any such officer, director, shareholder, general
partner or limited partner, owner, successor or assign identified above as a
result of the performance of the provisions under or contemplated by this Lease.
This provision shall survive any termination of this Lease.
