                               CONTINUING GUARANTY

         This Continuing Guaranty ("GUARANTY") is made and entered into
effective the 1st day of April, 2002, by SONESTA INTERNATIONAL HOTELS
CORPORATION ("GUARANTOR"), in favor of HIBERNIA NATIONAL BANK ("BANK),
guaranteeing the Indebtedness (as hereinafter defined) of ROYAL SONESTA, INC.
("Borrower").

                               W I T N E S E T H:

         WHEREAS, pursuant to and in consideration of Bank's extension of credit
to Borrower on even date hereof, Guarantor, whether one or more, has agreed to
give its Continuing Guaranty (hereinafter referred to as either "CONTINUING
GUARANTY" OR "GUARANTY") to Bank for payment in full, together with all fees and
charges of whatever kind and nature, of any and all Indebtedness and/or
obligations to Bank up to any and all present and future indebtedness.

         NOW THEREFORE, FOR VALUE RECEIVED and in furtherance of the obligation
on the part of Borrower to obtain an unconditional guaranty from Guarantor for
Borrower's obligation on the Indebtedness, and in consideration of the giving or
extending credit by Bank to Borrower, Guarantor does hereby jointly, severally
and solidarily agree as follows:

         SECTION 1. CONTINUING GUARANTY OF BORROWER'S INDEBTEDNESS. Guarantor
hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to, and by these presents does
hereby guarantee the prompt and punctual payment, performance and satisfaction
of any and all loans, extensions of credit and/or other obligations that
Borrower may now and/or in the future owe to and/or incur in favor of Bank,
whether such indebtedness and/or obligations are direct or indirect, or by way
of assignment, and whether such indebtedness and/or obligations are absolute or
contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, due or to become due, secured or
unsecured, and whether now existing or hereafter arising, of any nature or kind
whatsoever, up to a maximum principal amount outstanding at any one or more
times not to exceed TEN MILLION AND NO/100 (U.S. $10,000,000.00) DOLLARS,
together with interest, costs and attorney's fees thereon (with all of
Borrower's indebtedness and/or obligations being hereinafter individually and
collectively referred to under this Guaranty as Borrower's "INDEBTEDNESS").

         SECTION 2. SOLIDARY OBLIGATION. The Guarantor hereby binds and
obligates said Guarantor and Guarantor's heirs, successors and assigns IN SOLIDO
with the Borrower and with the other Obligors for the full, prompt and punctual
payment, performance and satisfaction of all of the Indebtedness precisely as if
the same had been contracted and were due and owing by such Guarantor
personally. It is agreed and understood that the Guarantor shall be bound by all
the provisions of this Agreement and for the payment and performance of the
Indebtedness in the same manner as if each were the only person executing this
Agreement or guarantying the Indebtedness.

         SECTION 3. DURATION; CANCELLATION OF GUARANTY. This Guaranty and
Guarantor's obligations and liabilities hereunder shall remain in full force and
effect until such time as each and every Indebtedness of Borrower shall be paid,
performed and/or satisfied in full, in principal, interest, costs and attorney's
fees, or until such time as this Guaranty may be cancelled or otherwise
terminated by Bank under a written cancellation instrument in favor of Guarantor
(subject to the automatic reinstatement provisions hereinbelow). Unless
otherwise indicated under such a written cancellation instrument, Bank's
agreement to terminate or otherwise cancel this Guaranty shall only effect and
shall be expressly limited to Guarantor's continuing obligations and liabilities
to guarantee the prompt and punctual payment, performance and satisfaction of
Borrower's Indebtedness incurred, originated and/or extended by Bank after the
date of such a written cancellation instrument; with Guarantor remaining fully
obligated and liable under this continuing assessment of interest thereon that
was incurred, originated or extended prior to the date of such a written
cancellation instrument.

                                                                             173
<Page>

Nothing under this Guaranty or under any other agreement or understanding by and
between Guarantor and Bank, shall in any way obligate, or be construed to
obligate, Bank to agree to the subsequent termination or cancellation of
Guarantor's obligations and liabilities hereunder; it being fully understood and
agreed by Guarantor that Bank may, within its sole and uncontrolled discretion
and judgment, refuse to release Guarantor from any of its obligations and
liabilities under this Guaranty for any reason whatsoever as long as any of
Borrower's Indebtedness remains unpaid and outstanding; provided, however, that
upon written request of Guarantor, Bank shall acknowledge the termination of the
Continuing Guaranty at such time as there is no outstanding indebtedness between
Bank and Borrower, and any obligations or rights under the 2002 Agreement or
succeeding loan is terminated and Borrower no longer has any rights thereunder.

         SECTION 4. DEFAULT BY BORROWER. Should Borrower default under any of
its Indebtedness in favor of Bank, Guarantor unconditionally and absolutely
agrees to pay the full then unpaid amount of all of Borrower's Indebtedness
guaranteed hereunder, in principal, interest, costs and attorney's fees. Such
payment or payments shall be made immediately following demand by Bank at Bank's
offices indicated above. Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance of this
Guaranty and of any Indebtedness to which it applies or may apply. Guarantor
further waives presentment and demand for payment of Borrower's Indebtedness,
notice of dishonor and of nonpayment, notice of intention to accelerate, notice
of acceleration, protest and notice of protest, collection or institution of any
suit or other action by Bank in collection thereof, including any notice of
default in payment thereof or other notice to, or demand for payment thereof on
any party. Guarantor additionally waives any and all rights and pleas of
division and discussion as provided under Louisiana law, as well as, to the
degree applicable, any similar rights as may be provided under the laws of any
other state.

         SECTION 5. GUARANTOR'S SUBORDINATION OF RIGHTS TO BANK. In the event
that Guarantor should for any reason (i) advance or lend monies to Borrower for
any reason whatsoever, whether or not such funds are used by Borrower to make
payment or payments under Borrower's Indebtedness, and/or (ii) make any payment
for and on behalf of Borrower under any of Borrower's Indebtedness, and/or (iii)
make any payment to Bank in total or partial satisfaction of Guarantor's
obligations and liabilities hereunder, Guarantor hereby agrees that any and all
rights that Guarantor may have or acquire to collect or to be reimbursed by
Borrower (or by any guarantor, endorser or surety of Borrower's Indebtedness),
whether Guarantor's rights of collection or reimbursement arise by way of
subrogation to the rights of Bank or otherwise, shall in all respects be
subordinate, inferior and junior to Bank's rights to collect and enforce
payment, performance and satisfaction of Borrower's then remaining Indebtedness,
until such time as all of Borrower's Indebtedness is fully paid and satisfied.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under the 2002 Agreement which is not
cured within the required time period, Guarantor agrees to refrain from
attempting to collect and/or enforce any of Guarantor's aforesaid rights against
Borrower (or any other guarantor, surety or endorser of Borrower's
Indebtedness), arising by way of subrogation or otherwise, until such time as
all of Borrower's then remaining Indebtedness in favor of Bank is fully paid and
satisfied, in principal, interest, costs and attorney's fees.

         Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under the 2002 Agreement
which is not cured within the required time period, and upon notice from Bank if
Guarantor should for any reason whatsoever receive any payment or payments from
Borrower (or any other guarantor, surety or endorser of Borrower's Indebtedness)
on any such amount or amounts that Borrower (or such a third party) may owe to
Guarantor for any of the reasons stated above, Guarantor agrees to accept such
payment or payments for and on behalf of Bank, advising Borrower (or the third
party payee) of such a fact, and Guarantor unconditionally agrees to immediately
deliver such funds to Bank, with such funds being held by Guarantor during any
interim period, in trust for Bank. In the event that Guarantor should, for any
reason receive any such funds from Borrower (or any third party payee), and
Guarantor should deposit such funds in one or more of Guarantor's deposit
accounts, no matter where located, Bank shall have the right to attach any and
all of Guarantor's deposit accounts in which such funds were deposited, whether
or not such funds were commingled with other monies of Guarantor, and whether or
not such funds then remain on deposit in such an account or accounts. To this
end, Guarantor collaterally assigns

                                                                             174
<Page>

and pledges to Bank any and all of Guarantor's present and future rights, title
and interest in and to all monies that Guarantor may now and/or in the future
maintain in deposit with banks, savings and loan associations and other
entities, to the extent that Guarantor may at any time deposit any such funds
that may be received from Borrower (or any other guarantor, endorser or surety
of Borrower's Indebtedness) in favor of Bank in such an account or accounts.

         SECTION 6. ADDITIONAL COVENANTS. Guarantor further agrees that Bank
may, at its sole option, at any time, and from time to time, without the consent
of or notice to Guarantor, or any one of them, or to any other party, and
without incurring any responsibility to Guarantor or to any other party, and
without impairing or releasing the obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty:

         (A) Discharge or release any party (including, but not limited to,
Borrower or any co-guarantor under this Guaranty) who is or may be liable to
Bank for any of Borrower's Indebtedness;

         (B) Sell, exchange, release, surrender, realize upon or otherwise deal
with, in any manner and in any order, any collateral directly or indirectly
securing repayment of any of Borrower's Indebtedness;

         (C) Change the manner, place or terms of payment, or change or extend
the time of payment of or renew, as often and for such periods as Bank may
determine, or alter, any of Borrower's Indebtedness;

         (D) Settle or compromise any of Borrower's Indebtedness;

         (E) Subordinate and/or agree to subordinate the payment of all of any
part of Borrower's Indebtedness or Bank's security rights in and/or to any
collateral directly or indirectly securing any such Indebtedness, to the payment
and/or security rights of any other present and/or future creditors of Borrower;

         (F) Apply any sums paid to any of Borrower's Indebtedness, with such
payments being applied in such priority or with such preferences as Bank may
determine in its sole discretion, regardless of what Indebtedness of Borrower
remain unpaid;

         (G) Take or accept any other security or guaranty for any or all of
Borrower's Indebtedness; and/or

         (H) Enter into, deliver, amend or waive compliance with, any instrument
or arrangement evidencing, securing or otherwise affecting all or any part of
Borrower's Indebtedness.

         In addition, no course of dealing between Bank and Borrower (or any
other guarantor, surety or endorser of Borrower's Indebtedness), nor any failure
or delay on the part of Bank to exercise any of Bank's rights and remedies, or
any other agreement or agreements by and between Bank and Borrower (or any other
guarantor, surety or endorser) shall have the affect of impairing or releasing
Guarantor's obligations and liabilities to Bank or of waiving any of Bank's
rights and remedies. Any partial exercise of any rights and remedies granted to
Bank shall furthermore not constitute a waiver of any of Bank's other rights and
remedies, it being Guarantor's intent and agreement that Bank's rights and
remedies shall be cumulative in nature. Guarantor further agrees that, should
Borrower default under any of its Indebtedness, any waiver or forbearance on the
part of Bank to pursue the rights and remedies available to Bank shall be
binding upon Bank only to the extent that Bank specifically agrees to such
waiver or forbearance in writing. A waiver or forbearance on the part of Bank as
to one event of default shall not constitute a waiver or forbearance as to any
other default.

         SECTION 7. NO RELEASE OF GUARANTOR. Guarantor's obligations and
liabilities under this Guaranty shall not be released, impaired, reduced or
otherwise affected by, and shall continue in full force and effect,

                                                                             175
<Page>

notwithstanding the occurrence of any event, including without limitation any
one or more of the following events:

         (A) Death, insolvency, bankruptcy, arrangement, adjustment,
composition, liquidation, disability, dissolution or lack of authority (whether
corporate, partnership or trust) of Borrower (or any person acting on Borrower's
behalf), or any other guarantor, surety or endorser of any of Borrower's
Indebtedness;

         (B) Partial payment or payments of any amount due and/or outstanding
under any of Borrower's Indebtedness;

         (C) Any payment by Borrower or any other party to Bank is held to
constitute a preferential transfer or a fraudulent conveyance under any
applicable law, or for any reason, Bank is required to fund such payment or pay
such amount to Borrower or to any other person;

         (D) Any dissolution of Borrower or any sale, lease or transfer of all
or any part of Borrower's assets; and/or

         (E) Any failure of Bank to notify Guarantor of the acceptance of this
Guaranty or of the failure of Borrower to make any payment due by Borrower to
Bank.

         This Guaranty and Guarantor's obligations and liabilities hereunder
shall continue to be effective, and/or shall automatically and retroactively be
reinstated if a release or discharge has occurred, as the case may be, if at any
time any payment or part thereof to Bank with respect to any of Borrower's
Indebtedness is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by Bank pursuant to any
insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership, or any other debt relief
granted to Borrower or to any other party. In the event that Bank must rescind
or restore any payment received by Bank in satisfaction of Borrower's
Indebtedness, any prior release or discharge from the terms of this Guaranty
given to Guarantor shall be without effect, and this Guaranty and Guarantor's
obligations and liabilities hereunder shall automatically be renewed or
reinstated and shall remain in full force and effect to the same degree and
extent as if such a release or discharge was never granted. It is the intention
of Bank and Guarantor that Guarantor's obligations and liabilities hereunder
shall not be discharged except by Guarantor's full and complete performance of
such obligations and liabilities and then only to the extent of such
performance.

         SECTION 8. ENFORCEMENT OF GUARANTOR'S OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITIES.
Guarantor agrees that, should Bank deem it necessary to file an appropriate
collection action to enforce Guarantor's obligations and liabilities under this
Guaranty, Bank may commence such a civil action against Guarantor without the
necessity of first (i) attempting to collect Borrower's Indebtedness from
Borrower or from any other guarantor, surety or endorser, whether through filing
of suit or otherwise, (ii) attempting to exercise against any collateral
directly or indirectly securing repayment of any of Borrower's Indebtedness,
whether through the filing of an appropriate foreclosure action or otherwise, or
(iii) including Borrower or any other guarantor, surety or endorser of any of
Borrower's Indebtedness as an additional party defendant in such a collection
action against Guarantor. If there is more than one guarantor under this
Guaranty, each Guarantor additionally agrees that Bank may file an appropriate
collection and/or enforcement action against any one or more of them, without
impairing the rights of Bank against any other guarantor under this Guaranty. In
the event that Bank should ever deem it necessary to refer this Guaranty to an
attorney-at-law for the purpose of enforcing Guarantor's obligations and
liabilities hereunder, or of protecting or preserving Bank's rights hereunder,
Guarantor (and each of them, on a joint, several and solidary basis) agrees to
reimburse Bank for the reasonable fees of such an attorney. Guarantor
additionally agrees that Bank shall not be liable for failure to use diligence
in the collection of any of Borrower's Indebtedness or any collateral security
therefor, or in creating or preserving the liability of any

                                                                             176
<Page>

person liable on any such indebtedness, or in creating, perfecting or preserving
any security for any such Indebtedness.

         SECTION 9. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES BY GUARANTOR. Guarantor
represents and warrants to Bank that:

         (A) To the extent applicable, Guarantor is a corporation duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of
its incorporation and Guarantor is duly qualified and in good standing as a
foreign corporation in each jurisdiction wherein the nature of the business
transacted and the property owned by Guarantor makes such qualification
necessary. Guarantor's guaranty of Borrower's Indebtedness and this Guaranty
does not violate Guarantor's Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws. Guarantor has
taken all corporate action necessary to authorize the execution, delivery and
performance of this Guaranty.

         (B) Guarantor has the lawful power to own its properties and to engage
in its business as presently conducted.

         (C) Guarantor's guaranty of Borrower's Indebtedness and Guarantor's
execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty is not in violation of any
laws and will not result in a default under any contract, agreement or
instrument to which Guarantor is a party or by which Guarantor or its property
may be bound.

         (D) Guarantor will receive a direct or indirect material benefit from
the transactions contemplated herein and/or arising out of Borrower's
Indebtedness.

         (E) This Guaranty, when executed and delivered by Guarantor, will
constitute a valid, legal and binding obligation of Guarantor enforceable in
accordance with its terms.

         (F) All actions and consents required to be performed, obtained and/or
satisfied prior to the execution and delivery of this Guaranty, and to
constitute this Guaranty as the valid and binding obligation of Guarantor in
accordance with its terms, have been performed, obtained and satisfied in due
and strict compliance with all applicable laws.

         SECTION 10. ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS. Upon the reasonable request of Bank,
Guarantor will, at any time, and from time to time, duly execute and deliver to
Bank any and all such further instruments and documents, and supply such
additional information, as may be necessary or advisable in the opinion of Bank,
to obtain the full benefits of this Guaranty.

         SECTION 11. TRANSFER OF INDEBTEDNESS. This Guaranty is for the benefit
of Bank and for, such other person or persons as may from time to time become or
be the holders of any of Borrower's Indebtedness hereby guaranteed and this
Guaranty shall be transferable and negotiable, with the same force and effect
and to the same extent as Borrower's Indebtedness may be transferable, it being
understood that, upon the transfer or assignment by Bank of any of Borrower's
Indebtedness hereby guaranteed, the legal holder of such Indebtedness shall have
all, of the rights granted to Bank under this Guaranty. Guarantor hereby
recognizes and agrees that Bank may, from time to time, one or more times,
transfer all or any portion of Borrower's Indebtedness to one or more third
parties. such transfers may include, but are not limited to, sales of a
participation interest in such Indebtedness in favor of one or more third party
lenders. Guarantor specifically agrees and consents to all such transfers and
assignments and Guarantor further waives any subsequent notice of and right to
consent to any such transfers and assignments as may be provided under
applicable Louisiana law. Guarantor additionally agrees that the purchaser of a
participation interest in Borrower's Indebtedness will be considered as the
absolute owner of a percentage interest of such Indebtedness and that such a
purchaser will have all of the rights granted to the purchaser under any
participation agreement governing the sale of such a

                                                                             177
<Page>

participation interest. Guarantor further waives any right of offset that
Guarantor may have against Bank and/or any purchaser of such a participation
interest in Borrower's Indebtedness and Guarantor unconditionally agrees that
either Bank or such a purchaser may enforce Guarantor's obligations and
liabilities under this Guaranty, irrespective of the failure or insolvency of
Bank or any such purchaser. Guarantor further agrees that, upon any transfer of
all or any portion of Borrower's Indebtedness, Bank may transfer and deliver any
and all collateral securing repayment of such Indebtedness (including, but not
limited to, any collateral provided by Guarantor) to the transferee of such
Indebtedness and such collateral (again, including not limited to Guarantor's
collateral) shall secure any and all of Borrower's Indebtedness in favor of such
a transferee. Guarantor additionally agrees that, after any such transfer or
assignment has taken place, Bank shall be fully discharged from any and all
liability and responsibility to Borrower (and Guarantor) with respect to such
collateral arising after the date of the transfer, and the transferee thereafter
shall be vested with all the powers and rights with respect to such collateral.

         SECTION 12. RIGHT OF OFFSET. As collateral security for the repayment
of Guarantor's obligations and liabilities under this Guaranty, Guarantor hereby
grants Bank, as well as its successors and assigns, the right to apply, at any
time and from time to time, whether or not Borrower is then in default under any
of its Indebtedness guaranteed hereunder, any and all funds that Guarantor may
then have on deposit with or in the possession or control of Bank and its
successors or assigns (with the exception of funds deposited in IRA, pension or
other tax-deferred deposit accounts), towards repayment of any of Borrower's
Indebtedness subject to this Guaranty.

         SECTION 13. NOTICES. Any notice or demand which, by provision of this
Agreement, is required or permitted to be given or served by one party to the
