______________                                                     JUNE __, 2004

      FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, each having an address c/o Lodgian,
Inc., 3445 Peachtree Road, NE, Suite 700, Atlanta, Georgia 30326 (each, a
"BORROWER", and collectively, "BORROWERS"), jointly and severally, promise to
pay to the order of MERRILL LYNCH MORTGAGE LENDING, INC., a Delaware corporation
(together with its successors and assigns, "LENDER"), at Four World Financial
Center, New York, New York 10080, or such other place as Lender may designate in
writing, the principal sum of __________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________, representing
Component B, with interest on the unpaid principal balance from the date of this
Note, until paid, at the Component B Rate in effect from time to time under the
Loan Agreement (hereinafter defined). This Promissory Note may be referred to
herein as the "NOTE," and the loan evidenced hereby may be referred to herein as
the "LOAN." Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have
the respective meanings given thereto in the Loan Agreement.

      PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST. Borrowers shall make payments of
principal and interest on the outstanding principal balance of this Note in
accordance with the terms and provisions of Sections 2.4 and 2.5 of the Loan
Agreement.

      The entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and
unpaid interest thereon (including interest through the end of the Interest
Accrual Period then in effect) and all other amounts due hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents (collectively, the "DEBT") if not sooner paid (and unless
Borrowers shall extend the term of the Loan for the First Extension Term, the
Second Extension Term, or all Extension Terms) shall be due and payable on June
30, 2006 (the "SCHEDULED MATURITY DATE"). Subject to the terms and conditions of
Section 2.5(B) of the Loan Agreement, Borrowers may extend the term of the Loan
for the Extension Terms. The Scheduled Maturity Date, as the same may be
extended for the First Extension Term, the Second Extension Term, or the Third
Extension Term (subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.5(B) of the
Loan Agreement), or such other date on which the final payment of the Debt
becomes due hereunder or under the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents,
whether at such stated maturity date, by acceleration, or otherwise, shall be
referred to herein as the "MATURITY DATE".

      Interest on the principal sum of this Note shall be calculated on the
basis of a 360 day year, and shall be charged for the actual number of days
elapsed during any month or other accrual period.

      SECURITY; LOAN DOCUMENTS. This Note is being executed and delivered
pursuant to that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of the date
hereof (as amended, modified or restated from time to time, the "LOAN
AGREEMENT"), among Borrowers and Lender, to which reference is hereby made for
the terms

<PAGE>

and conditions governing this Note, including the terms and conditions
under which this Note may be prepaid or its maturity accelerated. This Note is
secured by, among other things, those certain Mortgages/Deeds of Trust/Deeds to
Secure Debt, Assignments of Leases and Rents and Security Agreements, dated as
of the date hereof (as amended, modified or restated from time to time,
collectively, the "INSTRUMENT"), executed by the Borrower named therein,
encumbering such Borrower's fee simple or leasehold interest in and to certain
real property as more particularly described therein (collectively, the
"PROPERTY"). This Note, the Loan Agreement, the Instrument, and all other
documents or instruments given by Borrowers or any one of them or any guarantor
and accepted by Lender for purposes of evidencing, securing, perfecting, or
guaranteeing the indebtedness evidenced by this Note may be referred to as the
"LOAN DOCUMENTS."

      PREPAYMENT; PREPAYMENT CONSIDERATION. Borrowers shall have no right to
prepay the Loan in whole or in part except as expressly provided in Section 2.6
of the Loan Agreement.

      EVENTS OF DEFAULT; ACCELERATION. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default, at the option of Lender and without notice,
the entire principal amount and all interest accrued and outstanding hereunder
and all other amounts outstanding under any of the Loan Documents shall at once
become due and payable, and Lender may exercise any and all of its rights and
remedies under any of the Loan Documents or pursuant to applicable law. Lender
may so accelerate such obligations and exercise such remedies at any time after
the occurrence of any Event of Default, regardless of any prior forbearance.

      LATE CHARGES; DEFAULT INTEREST. If an Event of Default relating to
non-payment of any principal, interest or other sums due under this Note or
under any of the other Loan Documents shall occur, then Borrowers shall pay to
Lender, in addition to all sums otherwise due and payable, a late charge in an
amount equal to five percent (5.0%) of such principal, interest or other sums
due hereunder or under any other Loan Document (or, in the case of a partial
payment, the unpaid portion thereof), such late charge to be immediately due and
payable without demand by Lender.

      Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and
in any event from and after the Maturity Date of the Loan, the outstanding
principal balance of this Note and all other Obligations shall bear interest
until paid in full at a rate per annum (the "DEFAULT RATE") equal to the sum of
(i) four percent (4.0%) and (ii) the Interest Rate otherwise applicable under
this Note.

      Borrowers agree that such late charge and Default Rate of interest are
reasonable and do not constitute a penalty.

      INTEREST LAWS. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in
this Note, the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrowers shall not
be required to pay, and Lender shall not be permitted to collect, any amount of
interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted by law ("EXCESS
INTEREST"). If any Excess Interest is provided for or determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction to have been provided for in this Note, the Loan
Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, then in such event: (i) the
provisions of this subsection shall govern and control; (ii) Borrowers shall not
be obligated to pay any Excess

                                       2
<PAGE>

Interest; (iii) any Excess Interest that Lender may have received hereunder
shall be, at Lender's option, (a) applied as a credit against either or both of
the outstanding principal balance of the Loan or accrued and unpaid interest
thereunder (not to exceed the maximum amount permitted by law), (b) refunded to
the payor thereof, or (c) any combination of the foregoing; (iv) the interest
rate(s) provided for herein shall be automatically reduced to the maximum lawful
rate allowed from time to time under applicable law (the "MAXIMUM RATE"), and
this Note, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to
have been and shall be, reformed and modified to reflect such reduction; and (v)
Borrowers shall not have any action against Lender for any damages arising out
of the payment or collection of any Excess Interest. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if for any period of time interest on any Obligation is calculated at
the Maximum Rate rather than the applicable rate under this Note, and thereafter
such applicable rate becomes less than the Maximum Rate, the rate of interest
payable on such Obligations shall, to the extent permitted by law, remain at the
Maximum Rate until Lender shall have received or accrued the amount of interest
which Lender would have received or accrued during such period on Obligations
had the rate of interest not been limited to the Maximum Rate during such
period. If the Default Rate shall be finally determined to be unlawful, then the
Interest Rate shall be applicable during any time when the Default Rate would
have been applicable hereunder, provided however that if the Maximum Rate is
greater or lesser than the Interest Rate, then the foregoing provisions of this
paragraph shall apply.

      CERTAIN RIGHTS AND WAIVERS. From time to time, without affecting the
obligation of Borrowers or their successors or assigns to pay the outstanding
principal balance of this Note, interest thereon and other amounts due hereunder
and to observe the covenants contained herein, in the Loan Agreement, the
Instrument or in any other Loan Document, without affecting the guaranty of any
person or entity for payment of the outstanding principal balance of this Note,
without giving notice to or obtaining the consent of any Borrower or its
successors or assigns or any guarantors or indemnitor, and without liability on
the part of Lender, Lender may, at its option, extend the time for payment of
the outstanding principal balance of this Note or any part thereof, reduce the
payments thereon, release anyone liable for payment of all or a portion of said
indebtedness, accept a renewal of this Note, modify the terms and time of
payment of said outstanding principal balance, join in any extension or
subordination agreement, release any security given herefor, take or release
other or additional security, and agree in writing with the undersigned to
modify the rate of interest or period of amortization of this Note or change the
amount of the monthly installments payable hereunder.

      Presentment, notice of dishonor, and protest are hereby waived by
Borrowers and all makers, sureties, guarantors and endorsers hereof. This Note
shall be binding upon Borrowers and their successors and assigns.

      EACH BORROWER AND LENDER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY
WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION
BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONJUNCTION WITH THIS NOTE, THE
INSTRUMENTS, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, ANY OTHER AGREEMENT CONTEMPLATED TO BE
EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING,
STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF EITHER PARTY.

transfer, in whole or in part (including the right to grant participation
interests in) any or all of its obligations under this Note, the Loan Agreement,
the Instrument and any or all of the other Loan Documents, subject to the terms
of the Loan Agreement. Lender shall be released of any obligations accruing
after the date of such assignment or transfer to the extent that the same are so
assigned or transferred, and the rights and obligations of "LENDER" hereunder
shall become the rights and obligations of the transferee holder. Lender agrees
to provide Borrowers with notice of any such assignment; provided, however, that
no Borrower's consent shall be required in connection with any such assignment
and no failure or delay by Lender in delivering such notice shall limit the
effectiveness of such assignment.

      LIMITATION ON RECOURSE. The obligations of Borrowers hereunder are subject
to limitations on recourse as provided in Article XII of the Loan Agreement.
This provision shall not limit any rights of Lender under the Guaranty of

demand all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses, incurred by Lender in collecting the indebtedness
arising hereunder or under any other Loan Documents or secured thereby or
otherwise exercising any rights or remedies of Lender hereunder or thereunder or
at law or in equity or enforcing the obligations of any parties hereto or
thereto, or as a consequence of any breach or default by any Borrower or any
guarantor hereunder or thereunder, or otherwise as a consequence of any right
evidenced or secured by this Note or the Loan Documents. Without limitation,
such costs and expenses to be reimbursed by Borrowers shall include reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses incurred in any bankruptcy case or proceeding and
in any appeal.

      APPLICABLE LAW. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and
performed in the State of New York and any applicable laws of the United States
of America.

      TIME OF ESSENCE. Subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement, time shall be
of the essence as to all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Note. If
the due date of any payment due hereunder or under any of the other Loan
Documents shall fall on a day other than a Business Day, Borrowers shall be
required to make such payment on the next succeeding Business Day.

      JOINT AND SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS. The obligations and liabilities of
Borrowers hereunder shall be joint and several.
