contained, the Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase from the Sellers and
Candlewood hereby agrees to cause the Sellers to sell and the Sellers hereby
agree to sell to the Purchaser, all of the Sellers' right, title and interest in
and to the Properties for the Purchase Price, subject to and in accordance with
the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

        2.2 DILIGENCE INSPECTIONS. For the Review Period and, thereafter, until
Closing, the Sellers shall permit the Purchaser and its representatives to
inspect the Properties and the Improvements (including, without limitation, all
roofs, electric, mechanical and structural elements, and HVAC systems therein),
to perform due diligence, soil analysis and environmental investigations, to
examine the books of account and records of the Sellers with respect to the
Properties,




                                      -6-
<PAGE>

including, without limitation, all leases and agreements affecting the
Properties, and make copies thereof, at such reasonable times as the Purchaser
or its representatives may request by notice to the Sellers (which notice may be
oral). To the extent that, in connection with such investigations, the
Purchaser, its agents, representatives or contractors, damages or disturbs any
of the Real Property, the Improvements or FF&E located thereon, the Purchaser
shall, at its expense, return the same to substantially the same condition which
existed immediately prior to such damage or disturbance. Neither the Purchaser
nor any of its agents, representatives or contractors shall have any right
whatsoever to alter the condition of any Property, or portion thereof, without
the prior written consent of the Sellers, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. The Purchaser shall indemnify,
defend and hold harmless the Sellers from and against any and all expense, loss
or damage which the Sellers may incur as a result of any act or omission of the
Purchaser or its representatives, agents or contractors in connection with such
examinations and inspections, other than to the extent that any expense, loss or
damage arises from any negligence or misconduct of the Sellers. The provisions
of this Section 2.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the
Closing.

        2.3 DEFECTIVE PROPERTIES. (a) In the event that (i) the Purchaser
reasonably determines that a Property has structural, environmental or other
structural defects or conditions such that (x) expenditures equal to or greater
than three percent (3%) of the Allocable Purchase Price of such Property are
required in order to bring such Property into a reasonably satisfactory
condition in accordance with prevailing standards, as the case may be, for like
hotels, or (y), with respect to Properties as to which the Opening Date has
already occurred, the calculation with respect to such Property of net operating
income varies by three percent (3%) or more of that set forth in the financial
data provided by the Candlewood Parties to the Purchaser prior to the date
hereof (any such Property being hereinafter referred to as a "Defective
Property"), and (ii) the Purchaser gives written notice thereof to the
Candlewood Parties no later than the expiration of the Review Period (time being
of the essence with respect to the giving of such notice), identifying the
Defective Property or Defective Properties and the specific defects with respect
thereto, the Candlewood Parties shall, subject to paragraph (c) below, be
required to permit the Purchaser to acquire all of the Properties other than
such Defective Property or Defective Properties.




                                      -7-
<PAGE>

        (a) If, prior to the applicable Closing, (i) any Property suffers a
casualty or condemnation which would cause such Property or Properties to become
a Defective Property, (ii) such Property is not, prior to the Closing, restored
to a condition substantially the same as the condition thereof immediately prior
to such casualty or condemnation, and (iii) the Purchaser provides written
notice of same to the Candlewood Parties no later than the applicable Closing
Date, time being of the essence, the Candlewood Parties shall, subject to
paragraph (c) below, be required to permit the Purchaser to acquire all of the
Properties other than such Defective Property or Properties. Promptly upon
learning of the same, the Candlewood Parties covenant and agree to provide the
Purchaser with prompt written notice of any casualty or condemnation affecting
any Property.

        (b) If the Purchaser timely identifies any Defective Property and the
Purchaser and the Candlewood Parties shall, acting reasonably and in good faith
be unable or unwilling to agree that (x) the Candlewood Parties shall, at their
sole cost, remedy the applicable defect prior to the applicable Closing (in
which event the Candlewood Parties shall have the right to adjourn the
applicable Closing Date for up to ninety (90) days for such purpose), (y) the
Purchaser shall, notwithstanding such defect, acquire the Defective Property
subject to a reduction in the Allocable Purchase Price of the Defective Property
sufficient to compensate the Purchaser for such defect (in which event the
applicable Seller shall retain all available insurance or condemnation proceeds)
or (z) on the substitution of another property owned by the Candlewood Parties
for such Defective Property, this Agreement shall, at the Purchaser's option,
terminate with respect to such Defective Property and the Purchase Price shall
be reduced by the Allocable Purchase Price of such Defective Property.

        2.4 TITLE MATTERS. Promptly upon execution of this Agreement, the
Candlewood Parties shall order from the Title Company and direct the Title
Company promptly to deliver to the Purchaser a preliminary title commitment, for
an ALTA extended owner's policy of title insurance with respect to each of the
Properties, together with complete and legible copies of all instruments and
documents referred to as exceptions to title (collectively, the "Title
Commitments").

        Prior to the expiration of the Review Period, the Purchaser shall give
the Candlewood Parties notice of any title exceptions (other than Permitted
Encumbrances) which adversely affect any Property in any material respect and as
to which the Purchaser




                                      -8-
<PAGE>

reasonably objects. If, for any reason, the Candlewood Parties are unable or
unwilling to take such actions as may be required to cause such exceptions to be
removed from the Title Commitments, the Candlewood Parties shall give the
Purchaser notice thereof; it being understood and agreed that the failure of the
Candlewood Parties to give such notice within ten (10) Business Days after the
Purchaser's notice of objection shall be deemed an election by the Candlewood
Parties not to remedy such matters. If the Candlewood Parties shall be unable or
unwilling to remove any title defects to which the Purchaser has reasonably
objected, the Purchaser may elect (i) to terminate this Agreement with respect
to the affected Property, in which event, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by
the Allocable Purchase Price of the affected Properties and this Agreement shall
be of no further force and effect with respect to the affected Properties or
(ii) to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, notwithstanding such
title defect, without any abatement or reduction in the Purchase Price on
account thereof. The Purchaser shall make any such election by written notice to
the Candlewood Parties given on or prior to the fifth Business Day after the
Candlewood Parties' notice of their unwillingness or inability to cure such
defect. Failure of the Purchaser to give such notice shall be deemed an election
by the Purchaser to proceed in accordance with clause (ii) above and such
exception shall be deemed a Permitted Encumbrance.

        2.5 SURVEY MATTERS. Upon execution of this Agreement, the Candlewood
Parties shall arrange for the preparation of an ALTA survey with respect to each
of the Properties (the "Surveys") by a licensed surveyor in the jurisdiction in
which each such Property is located, which (i) contains an accurate legal
description of the applicable Property, (ii) shows the exact location, dimension
and description (including applicable recording information) of all utilities,
easements, encroachments and other physical matters affecting such Property, the
number of striped parking spaces located thereon and all applicable building
set-back lines, (iii) states whether the applicable Property is located within a
100-year flood plain and (iv) includes a certification in the form set forth in
Schedule C, or such other form as may be acceptable to the Purchaser, addressed
to the Purchaser, the Title Company and any other persons requested by the
Purchaser or designated by the Candlewood Parties.

        Within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Surveys, the
Purchaser shall give the Candlewood Parties notice of any matters shown thereon
(other than Permitted Encumbrances) which




                                      -9-
<PAGE>

adversely affect any such Property in any material respect and as to which the
Purchaser reasonably objects. If, for any reason, the Candlewood Parties are
unwilling or unable to take such actions as may be required to remedy the
objectionable matters, the Candlewood Parties shall give the Purchaser prompt
notice thereof; it being understood and agreed that the failure of the
Candlewood Parties to give such notice within ten (10) Business Days after the
Purchaser's notice of objection shall be deemed an election by the Candlewood
Parties not to remedy such matters. If the Candlewood Parties shall be unwilling
or unable to remove any survey defect to which the Purchaser has reasonably
objected, the Purchaser may elect (i) to terminate this Agreement with respect
to the affected Property, in which event, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by
the Allocable Purchase Price of the affected Properties and this Agreement shall
terminate and be of no further force or effect with respect to the affected
Properties or (ii) to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby,
notwithstanding such defect, without any abatement or reduction in the Purchase
Price on account thereof. The Purchaser shall make any such election by written
notice to the Candlewood Parties given on or prior to the fifth Business Day
after the Candlewood Parties' notice of their inability to cure such defect and
time shall be of the essence with respect to the giving of such notice. Failure
of the Purchaser to give such notice shall be deemed an election by the
Purchaser to proceed in accordance with clause (ii) above and such matter shall
be deemed a Permitted Encumbrance.

SECTION 3.     PURCHASE AND SALE

        3.1 CLOSING. The purchase and sale of the Properties shall be
consummated at one or more closings (each, a "Closing") to be held at the
