                               TERM; TERMINATION

     2.1. Term.
          ----

          (a) The term of the Lease (the "Term") shall commence on the date
specified in Schedule 2.1 (the "Commencement Date"), and shall end on the tenth
             ------------
(10th) anniversary of the Commencement Date, unless sooner terminated in
accordance with the provisions hereof or extended to an anniversary of the
initial expiration date pursuant to this Article 2.

          (b) Lessee is granted the option to extend the Term of this Lease for
a period of five (5) years (the "First Extension"), provided that Lessee is not
in default hereunder either at the time of deemed exercise of the option or at
the end of the original Term, which option must be exercised by written notice
to Lessor at least one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the expiration of the
original Term. The First Extension shall be upon the same terms, conditions and
rentals as set forth herein for the original Term.

          (c) Lessee is granted an option to extend the Term for a period of
five (5) years following the end of the First Extension (the "Second
Extension"), provided that Lessee is not in default hereunder either at the time
of exercise of the option or at the end of the First Extension, which option
must be exercised by written notice to Lessor at least one hundred twenty (120)
days prior to the expiration of the First Extension. If such option is
exercised, Lessor and Lessee shall negotiate in good faith modifications to the
Rent for the Second Extension to adjust such Rent to market rates for
arms-length hotel REIT leases between unrelated parties for similar hotel
properties at that time. In the event Lessor and Lessee are unable to agree upon
Rent terms for the Second Extension at least ninety (90) days prior to the
expiration of the Term, the Rent terms for the Second Extension shall be
determined by a panel of three (3) persons who have generally recognized
expertise in evaluating hotel REIT leases and who are not Affiliates of Lessor
or Lessee. Lessee and the Lessor each shall have the right to designate one
panel member and the two (2) panel members so designated will designate the
third panel member. Rent terms approved by at least two (2) of the three (3)
panel members will be binding on Lessee and Lessor for the Second Extension,
which shall be otherwise on the terms set forth herein. In determining the
market rates for the Second Extension, the panel members shall be instructed to
consider hotel REIT lease terms with respect to similar hotel property types.
The Second Extension shall be otherwise upon the same terms and conditions as
set forth herein for the original Term.

     2.2. Lessor's Option to Terminate Lease. In the event Lessor enters into a
          ----------------------------------
bona fide contract to sell the Leased Property to a non-Affiliate, there is a
Change of Control of Lessor, or the provisions of the Code are amended to permit
Lessor to operate hotels or otherwise render the structure embodied by this
Lease to be obsolete, Lessor may terminate the Lease by giving not less than
thirty (30) days' prior Notice to Lessee of Lessor's election to terminate the
Lease effective upon, as appropriate, the closing under such contract, the date
of such Change of Control, or the effective date of such amendment to the Code
(or any other specified date within 30 days after such date) (the "Optional
Termination Date"). Effective upon the Optional Termination Date, this Lease
shall terminate and be of no further force and effect except as to any
obligations of the parties existing as of such date that survive termination of
this Lease. As compensation for the early termination of its leasehold estate
under this Section 2.2, Lessor shall within 12 months of the Optional
Termination Date either (a) pay to Lessee the fair market value of Lessee's
leasehold estate hereunder plus interest thereon at the Base Rate as of the
Optional Termination Date or (b) offer to lease to Lessee one or more substitute
hotel facilities pursuant to one or more leases that would create for Lessee
leasehold estates that have an aggregate fair market value of no less than the
fair market value of the original leasehold estate, both such values as
determined as of the Optional Termination Date. Lessor also shall pay to Lessee,
or reimburse Lessee for any assignment fees, termination fees or other
liabilities arising under the Franchise Agreement or Management Agreement solely
as a result of the assignment or termination of such Franchise Agreement or
Management Agreement in connection with the termination of this Lease under this
Section 2.2. If Lessor elects and complies with the option described in (b)
above, regardless of whether Lessee enters into the lease(s) described therein,
Lessor shall have no further obligations to Lessee with respect to compensation
for the early termination of this Lease. In the event Lessor and Lessee are
unable to agree upon the fair market value of an original or replacement
leasehold estate, it shall be determined by appraisal using the appraisal
procedure set forth in Article 24.

     For the purposes of this Article, fair market value of the leasehold estate
means, as applicable, an amount equal to the price that a willing buyer not
compelled to buy would pay a willing seller not compelled to sell for Lessee's
leasehold estate under this Lease or an offered replacement leasehold estate,
taking into account that the leasehold estate is encumbered by the Franchise
Agreement and an arm's-length Management Agreement.

     2.3. Transition Procedures. Upon the expiration or termination of the Term
          ---------------------
of this Lease, for whatever reason (other than a purchase of the Leased Property
by Lessee), Lessor and Lessee shall do the following (and the provisions of this
Section 2.3 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease until they
have been fully performed) and, in general, shall cooperate in good faith to
effect an orderly transition of the management and/or lease of the Hotel:

          (a) Transfer of Licenses. Lessee shall use reasonable efforts (i) to
              --------------------
transfer to Lessor or Lessor's nominee all licenses, operating permits and other
governmental authorizations and all contracts, including contracts with
governmental or quasi-governmental entities, that may be necessary for the
operation of the Hotel (collectively, "Licenses"), or (ii) if such transfer is
prohibited by law or Lessor otherwise elects, to cooperate with Lessor or
Lessor's nominee in connection with the processing by Lessor or Lessor's nominee
of any applications for, all Licenses; provided, in either case, that the costs
and expenses of any such transfer or the processing of any such application
shall be paid by Lessor or Lessor's nominee.

                                      15
<PAGE>

          (b) Leases and Concessions. Lessee shall assign to Lessor or Lessor's
              ----------------------
nominee simultaneously with the termination of this Lease, and the assignee
shall assume, all leases and concession agreements in effect with respect to the
Hotel then in Lessee's name.

          (c) Books and Records. All books and records for the Hotel kept by
              -----------------
Lessee pursuant to Section 4.2 shall be delivered promptly to Lessor or Lessor's
nominee, simultaneously with the termination of this Lease, but such books and
records shall thereafter be available to Lessee at all reasonable times for
inspection, audit, examination, and transcription for a period of one (1) year
and Lessee may retain (on a confidential basis) copies or computer records
thereof.

          (d) Receivables and Payables. Lessee shall be entitled to retain all
              ------------------------
cash, bank accounts and house banks, and to collect all Gross Revenues and
accounts receivable accrued through the termination date. Lessee shall be
responsible for the payment of Rent, all Gross Operating Expenses and all other
obligations of Lessee accrued under this Lease as of the termination date, and
Lessor or Lessor's nominee shall be responsible for all Gross Operating Expenses
of the Hotel accruing after the termination date.

          (e) Final Accounting. Lessee shall, within forty five (45) days after
              ----------------
the expiration or termination of the Term, prepare and deliver to Lessor a final
accounting statement, dated as of the date of the expiration or termination,
along with a statement of any sums due from Lessee to Lessor pursuant hereto and
payment of such funds.

          (f) Inventory. Lessee shall insure that the Leased Property, at the
              ---------
date of such termination or expiration, has Inventory of a substantially
equivalent nature and amount as exists at the Leased Property on the
Commencement Date, and Lessor or its designee shall acquire such Inventory from
Lessee for a sale price equal to the fair market value of such Inventory.

          (g) Surrender. Lessee will, upon the expiration or prior termination
              ---------
of the Term, vacate and surrender the Leased Property to Lessor in the condition
in which the Leased Property was originally received from Lessor, except as
repaired, rebuilt, restored, altered or added to as permitted or required by the
provisions of this Lease and except for ordinary wear and tear (subject to the
obligation of Lessee to maintain the Leased Property in good order and repair,
as would a prudent owner, during the entire Term of the Lease), or damage by
casualty or Condemnation (subject to the obligations of Lessee to restore or
repair as set forth in the Lease)

     The provisions of this Section 2.3 shall survive the expiration or
1termination of this Lease until they have been fully performed.  Nothing
contained herein shall limit Lessor's rights and remedies under this Lease if
such termination occurs as the result of an Event of Default.

     2.4. Holding Over. If Lessee for any reason remains in possession of the
          ------------
Leased Property after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, such
possession shall be as a tenant at sufferance during which time Lessee shall pay
as rental each month 150% of the aggregate of (a) one-twelfth of the aggregate
Base Rent and Percentage Rent payable with respect to the last Fiscal Year of
the Term, (b) all Additional Charges accruing during the applicable month and
(c) all other sums, if any, payable by Lessee under this Lease with respect to
the Leased Property. During such

                                      16
<PAGE>

period, Lessee shall be obligated to perform and observe all of the terms,
covenants and conditions of this Lease, but shall have no rights hereunder other
than the right, to the extent given by law to tenancies at sufferance, to
continue its occupancy and use of the Leased Property. Nothing contained herein
shall constitute the consent, express or implied, of Lessor to the holding over
of Lessee after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

                            RENT; RENT ADJUSTMENTS

     3.1. Rent. Lessee will pay to Lessor in lawful money of the United States
          -----
of America which shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private
debts, in immediately available funds, at Lessor's address set forth in Article
26 hereof or at such other place or to such other Person as Lessor from time to
time may designate in a Notice, all Base Rent, Percentage Rent, Sundry Rent and
Additional Charges, during the Term, as follows:

          (a) Base Rent: The annual sum specified in Schedule 3.1(a) (prorated
              ---------                              ---------------
for fiscal year 2001), as adjusted pursuant to Subsection 3.1(d) hereof, payable
in advance in equal, consecutive monthly installments, on or before the tenth
day of each calendar month of the Term ("Base Rent"); provided, however, that
the first monthly payment of Base Rent shall be payable during the second
calendar month of the Term, and that the first and last monthly payments of Base
Rent shall be pro rated as to any partial month (subject to adjustment as
provided in Sections 14.5, 15.3 and 15.5).

          (b) Percentage Rent: For each calendar quarter during the Term
              ---------------
commencing with the calendar quarter in which the Commencement Date falls and
ending with the calendar quarter in which the Term (including any applicable
extensions) ends, Lessee shall pay percentage rent ("Percentage Rent").

     Percentage Rent for the applicable quarter shall be an amount equal to the
following formula:

          The amount equal to the applicable Quarterly Revenues Computation (as
     defined below) less the sum of

               (i)  an amount equal to the Base Rent paid with respect to such
          quarter and all prior calendar quarters of the applicable Fiscal Year
          and

               (ii) an amount equal to Percentage Rent paid with respect to all
          prior calendar quarters of the applicable Fiscal Year.

For the purpose of the above formula:

     The quarterly revenues computation ("Quarterly Revenues Computation") is
equal to the amount obtained by adding, for the applicable calendar quarter, an
amount equal to the sum of (i) seventeen percent (17%) of all Fiscal Year to
date Suite Revenues up to the applicable suite revenue breakpoint (the "Suite
Revenue Breakpoint") described in Schedule 3.1(b), attached hereto,
                                  ---------------

                                      17
<PAGE>

(prorated for the first and last calendar quarters of the Term (including any
applicable extensions)) and fifty-five percent (55%) of all Fiscal Year to date
Suite Revenues in excess of the applicable Suite Revenue Breakpoint. At the
beginning of each Fiscal Year, the Suite Revenue Breakpoints shall be adjusted
by the same percentage that the Base Rent is adjusted pursuant to Subsection
3.1(d).

The Percentage Rent shall be payable as follows:

     (i)   with respect to each calendar month of the Term, except for the
           calendar months in the first partial and next two full calendar
           quarters at the beginning of the Term, Lessee shall pay on or before
           the last day of the calendar month an amount equal to the excess, if
           any, of (A) seventy-five percent (75%) of the amount of Lessee's
           budgeted Percentage Rent payable with respect to the then current
           calendar month (which budgeted amount shall be equal to one-third
           (1/3) of the quarterly estimate of Percentage Rent included in the
           Annual Budget for the calendar quarter in which the calendar month
           occurs) over (B) Base Rent for such calendar month; and

     (ii)  with respect to each calendar quarter of the Term, except for the
           calendar months in the first partial and next two full calendar
           quarters at the beginning of the Term, Lessee shall pay on or before
           the 15/th/ day following the end of the calendar quarter an amount
           equal to the amount, if any, by which the aggregate of all payments
           in respect of Base Rent and Percentage Rent for such calendar quarter
           shall be less than the amount determined pursuant to the Quarterly
           Revenues Computation for such calendar quarter; and

     (iii) with respect to the first partial and next two full calendar quarters
           at the beginning of the Term, Lessee shall pay on or before the
           15/th/ day following the end of the calendar quarter an amount equal
           to the amount, if any, by which the aggregate of all payments in
           respect of Base Rent for such calendar quarter shall be less than the
           amount determined pursuant to the Quarterly Revenues Computation of
           such calendar quarter.

In no event will the amount of Percentage Rent payable for any calendar quarter
or the result of any Quarterly Revenues Computation be less than zero, and there
shall be no reduction in the Base Rent regardless of the result of any Quarterly
Revenues Computation.

           (c) Sundry Rent. For each calendar quarter during the Term commencing
               -----------
with the calendar quarter in which the Commencement Date falls and ending with
the calendar quarter in which the Term (including any applicable extensions)
ends, Lessee shall pay sundry rent ("Sundry Rent"). Sundry Rent shall be an
amount equal to fifty-five percent (55%) of all Fiscal Year to date Sundry
Revenues less an amount equal to Sundry Rent paid with respect to all prior
calendar quarters of the applicable Fiscal Year. Sundry Rent shall be payable as
follows:

     (i)   with respect to each calendar month of the Term, except for the
           calendar months in the first partial and next two full calendar
           quarters at the beginning of the Term, on or before the last day of
           the calendar month an amount equal to seventy-five percent

                                      18
<PAGE>

           (75%) of the amount of Lessee's budgeted Sundry Rent payable with
           respect to the then current calendar month (which budgeted amount
           shall be equal to one-third (1/3) of the quarterly estimate of Sundry
           Rent included in the Annual Budget for the calendar quarter in which
           the calendar month occurs); and

     (ii)  with respect to each calendar quarter of the Term, except for the
           calendar months in the first partial and next two full calendar
           quarters at the beginning of the Term, on or before the 15/th/ day
           following the end of the calendar quarter an amount equal to the
           amount, if any, by which the aggregate of all payments pursuant to
           Section 3.1(c)(i) in respect of Sundry Rent for such calendar quarter
           shall be less than fifty-five percent (55%) of Sundry Revenues for
           such calendar quarter; and

     (iii) with respect to the first partial and next two full calendar quarters
           at the beginning of the Term, on or before the 15/th/ day following
           the end of the calendar quarter.

           (d) Officer's Certificates. Additionally, an Officer's Certificate
               ----------------------
shall be delivered to Lessor quarterly, together with such quarterly Percentage
Rent payment and quarterly Sundry Rent payment, setting forth the calculation of
such rent payment for such quarter, within thirty (30) days after each of the
first three quarters of each Fiscal Year (or part thereof) in the Term. Such
quarterly payments shall be based on the formula set forth in Subsection 3.1(b)
and 3.1(c), as applicable. There shall be no reduction in the Base Rent
regardless of the result of the Quarterly Revenues Computations.

     In addition, on or before March 1 of each year, commencing with March 1,
2002, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor an Officer's Certificate reasonably
acceptable to Lessor setting forth the computation of the actual Percentage Rent
and Sundry Rent that accrued for each quarter of the Fiscal Year that ended on
the immediately preceding December 31 and shall pay to Lessor Percentage Rent
and Sundry Rent, if due and payable, for the last quarter of the applicable
Fiscal Year.  Additionally, if the annual Percentage Rent or Sundry Rent due and
payable for any Fiscal Year (as shown in the applicable Officer's Certificate)
exceeds the amount actually paid as Percentage Rent or Sundry Rent by Lessee for
such year, Lessee also shall pay such excess to Lessor at the time such
certificate is delivered.  If the Percentage Rent or Sundry Rent actually due
and payable for such Fiscal Year is shown by such certificate to be less than
the amount actually paid as Percentage Rent or Sundry Rent for the applicable
Fiscal Year, Lessor, at its option, shall reimburse such amount to Lessee or
credit such amount against subsequent months' Base Rent or Sundry Rent, as
applicable, and with respect to Percentage Rent, to the extent necessary,
subsequent quarters' Percentage Rent payments.  Any such credit to Base Rent
shall not be applied for purposes of calculating Percentage Rent payable for any
subsequent quarter.

     Any difference between the annual Percentage Rent or Sundry Rent due and
payable for any Fiscal Year (as shown in the applicable Officer's Certificate or
as adjusted pursuant to Section 3.3) and the total amount of quarterly payments
for such Fiscal Year actually paid by Lessee as Percentage Rent or Sundry Rent,
whether in favor of Lessor or Lessee, shall bear interest at the Overdue Rate,
which interest shall accrue from the due date of the last quarterly payment for
the Fiscal Year until the amount of such difference shall be paid or otherwise
discharged.  Any such interest payable to Lessor shall be deemed to be and shall
be payable as Additional Charges.

                                      19
<PAGE>

     The obligation to pay Percentage Rent and Sundry Rent shall survive the
expiration or earlier termination of the Term, and a final reconciliation,
taking into account, among other relevant adjustments, any adjustments which are
accrued after such expiration or termination date but which related to
Percentage Rent and Sundry Rent accrued prior to such termination date, and
Lessee's good faith best estimate of the amount of any unresolved contractual
allowances, shall be made not later than two (2) years after such expiration or
termination date, but Lessee shall advise Lessor within sixty (60) days after
such expiration or termination date of Lessee's best estimate at that time of
the approximate amount of such adjustments, which estimate shall not be binding
on Lessee or have any legal effect whatsoever.

          (e) CPI Adjustments to Base Rent and Percentage Rent. For each year of
              ------------------------------------------------
the Term beginning on or after January 1, 2002, the Base Rent shall be adjusted
from time to time as follows:

                (1)  If the most recently published Consumer Price Index as of
          the last day of the last month (the "Comparison Month") of any Fiscal
          Year is different than the average Consumer Price Index for the twelve
          (12) month period prior thereto, the Base Rent for the next Fiscal
          Year shall be adjusted by the percentage change in the Consumer Price
          Index calculated as follows:

                     (A) The difference between the Consumer Price Index for the
          most recent Comparison Month and the average Consumer Price Index for
          the twelve (12) month period prior thereto shall be divided by the
          average Consumer Price Index for the twenty four (24) month period
          prior thereto.

                     (B) The Base Rent shall be multiplied by the lesser of (i)
          seven percent (7%) or (ii) the quotient obtained in subparagraph
          (d)(1)(A) above.

                     (C) The product obtained in subparagraph (d)(1)(B) above
          shall be added to the Base Rent.

     Adjustments in the Base Rent shall be effective on the first day of the
first calendar month of the Fiscal Year to which such adjusted Base Rent
applies.  The Suite Revenue Breakpoint then included in the Quarterly Revenues
Computation pursuant to Subsection 3.1(b) shall be similarly adjusted, effective
with any such adjustment in the Base Rent.

                (2)  If (i) a significant change is made in the number or nature
          (or both) of items used in determining the Consumer Price Index, or
          (ii) the Consumer Price Index shall be discontinued for any reason,
          the Bureau of Labor Statistics shall be requested to furnish a new
          index comparable to the Consumer Price Index, together with
          information which will make possible a conversion to the new index in
          computing the adjusted Base Rent hereunder. If for any reason the
          Bureau of Labor Statistics does not furnish such an index and such
          information, the parties will instead mutually select, accept and use
          such other index or comparable statistics on the cost of living in
          Washington, D.C. that is computed and published by an agency of the
          United States or a responsible financial periodical of recognized
          authority.

<PAGE>

          (f) Manager Fund-up Cure Payments. If and to the extent that Manager
              -----------------------------
pays amounts to Lessee pursuant to the Management Agreement in order to avoid
termination of the Management Agreement by Lessee for Manager's failure to meet
certain performance hurdles described therein, such amounts shall be treated as
additional Suite Revenues for purposes of the Percentage Rent calculation
hereunder.

          (g) Allocation of Rent. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that
              ------------------
the Base Rent paid or payable by Lessee to Lessor hereunder shall, to the extent
relevant, be allocated between the personal property and real property
constituting Leased Property hereunder in direct proportion to the then
recognizable fair market value of such personal property and real property.
Percentage Rent in excess of Base Rent shall be allocated solely to real
property.

     3.2. Confirmation of Percentage Rent and Sundry Rent. Lessee shall utilize,
          -----------------------------------------------
or cause to be utilized, an accounting system for the Leased Property in
accordance with its usual and customary practices, and in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, that will accurately record all data
necessary to compute Percentage Rent and Sundry Rent, and Lessee shall retain,
for at least four (4) years after the expiration of each Fiscal Year (and in any
event until the reconciliation described in Subsection 3.1(c) for such Fiscal
Year has been made), reasonably adequate records conforming to such accounting
system showing all data necessary to compute Percentage Rent and Sundry Rent for
the applicable Fiscal Years. Lessor, at its expense (except as provided
hereinbelow), shall have the right from time to time, upon prior written notice
to Lessee and Manager, by its accountants or representatives to audit the
information that formed the basis for the data set forth in any Officer's
Certificate provided under Subsection 3.1(d) and, in connection with such
audits, to examine all Lessee's records (including supporting data and sales and
excise tax returns) reasonably required to verify Percentage Rent and Sundry
Rent, subject to any prohibitions or limitations on disclosure of any such data
under Legal Requirements; provided, however that Lessor may only inspect or
audit records in Manager's possession subject to the terms of Lessee's access
thereto under the Management Agreement. If any such audit discloses a deficiency
in the payment of Percentage Rent or Sundry Rent, and either Lessee agrees with
the result of such audit or the matter is otherwise determined or compromised,
Lessee shall forthwith pay to Lessor the amount of the deficiency, as finally
agreed or determined, together with interest at the Overdue Rate from the date
when said payment should have been made to the date of payment thereof;
provided, however, that as to any audit that is commenced more than two (2)
years after the date Percentage Rent or Sundry Rent for any Fiscal Year is
reported by Lessee to Lessor, the deficiency, if any, with respect to such
Percentage Rent or Sundry Rent shall bear interest at the Overdue Rate only from
the date such determination of deficiency is made unless such deficiency is the
result of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Lessee, in which
case interest at the Overdue Rate will accrue from the date such payment should
have been made to the date of payment thereof. If any such audit discloses that
the Percentage Rent or Sundry Rent actually due from Lessee for any Fiscal Year
exceed those reported by Lessee by more than three percent (3%), Lessee shall
pay the cost of such audit and examination. Any proprietary information obtained
by Lessor pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall be treated as
confidential, except that such information may be used, subject to appropriate
confidentiality safeguards, in any litigation between the parties and except
further that Lessor may

                                      21
<PAGE>

disclose such information to prospective lenders. The obligations of Lessee
contained in this Section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease.

     3.3. Additional Charges. In addition to the Base Rent, Percentage Rent and
          ------------------
Sundry Rent, (a) Lessee also will pay and discharge as and when due and payable
all other amounts, liabilities, obligations and Impositions that Lessee assumes
or agrees to pay under this Lease, and (b) in the event of any failure on the
part of Lessee to pay any of those items referred to in clause (a) of this
Section 3.3, Lessee also will promptly pay and discharge every fine, penalty,
interest and cost that may be added for non-payment or late payment of such
items (the items referred to in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 3.3 being
additional rent hereunder and being referred to herein collectively as the
"Additional Charges"), and Lessor shall have all legal, equitable and
contractual rights, powers and remedies provided either in this Lease or by
statute or otherwise in the case of non-payment of the Additional Charges as in
the case of non-payment of the Base Rent. If any installment of Base Rent,
Percentage Rent and Sundry Rent or Additional Charges (but only as to those
Additional Charges that are payable directly to Lessor) shall not be paid on its
due date, Lessee will pay Lessor on demand, as Additional Charges, a late charge
(to the extent permitted by law) computed at the Overdue Rate on the amount of
such installment, from the due date of such installment to the date of payment
thereof. To the extent that Lessee pays any Additional Charges to Lessor
pursuant to any requirement of this Lease, Lessee shall be relieved of its
obligation to pay such Additional Charges to the entity to which they would
otherwise be due and Lessor shall pay same from monies received from Lessee.

     3.4. Net Lease; No Termination, Abatement, Etc.
          ------------------------------------------

          (a) The Rent shall be paid absolutely net to Lessor, so that this
Lease shall yield to Lessor the full amount of the installments of Base Rent,
Percentage Rent, Sundry Rent and Additional Charges throughout the Term, all as
more fully set forth in Article 5, but subject to any other provisions of this
Lease that expressly provide for adjustment or abatement of Rent or other
charges or expressly provide that certain expenses or maintenance shall be paid
or performed by Lessor.

          (b) Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease, and
except for loss of the Franchise Agreement solely by reason of any action or
inaction by Lessor, Lessee, to the extent permitted by law, shall remain bound
by this Lease in accordance with its terms and shall neither take any action
without the written consent of Lessor (which shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed) to modify, surrender or terminate the same, nor seek nor be entitled
to any abatement, deduction, deferment or reduction of the Rent, or setoff
against the Rent, nor shall the obligations of Lessee be otherwise affected by
reason of (a) any damage to, or destruction of, any Leased Property or any
portion thereof from whatever cause or any Taking of the Leased Property or any
portion thereof, (b) the lawful or unlawful prohibition of, or restriction upon,
Lessee's use of the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, or the interference
with such use by any Person other than Lessor, (c) any claim which Lessee has or
might have against Lessor by reason of any default or breach of any warranty by
Lessor under this Lease or any other agreement between Lessor and Lessee, or to
which Lessor and Lessee are parties, (d) any bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, winding up
or other proceedings affecting Lessor or any assignee or transferee of Lessor,
or (e) for any other cause whether similar or

                                      22
<PAGE>

dissimilar to any of the foregoing other than a discharge of Lessee from any
such obligations as a matter of law. Lessee hereby specifically waives all
rights, arising from any occurrence whatsoever, which may now or hereafter be
conferred upon it by law to (1) modify, surrender or terminate this Lease or
quit or surrender the Leased Property or any portion thereof, or (2) entitle
Lessee to any abatement, reduction, suspension or deferment of the Rent or other
sums payable by Lessee hereunder, except as otherwise specifically provided in
this Lease. The obligations of Lessee hereunder shall be separate and
independent covenants and agreements and the Rent and all other sums payable by
Lessee hereunder shall continue to be payable in all events unless the
obligations to pay the same shall be terminated pursuant to the express
provisions of this Lease or by termination of this Lease other than by reason of
an Event of Default.

     3.5. Material Changes in Economic Climate.
          ------------------------------------

          (a) In the event of the occurrence of a Force Majeure or a Hotel
Market Decline, Lessor and Lessee shall, in good faith, negotiate possible
modifications to the Base Rent and Percentage Rent to reduce such Base Rent and
Percentage Rent to recent market rates for hotel REIT leases for similar hotel
properties in the Hotel's Competitive Set, retroactively effective as of the
first calendar month of the Term following the last day of the six-month period
during which such Hotel Market Decline has occurred with the excess of Base Rent
and Percentage Rent actually paid for such period over the reduced Base Rent and
Percentage Rent, plus interest thereon at the Base Rate, to be credited to the
next payments of Rent due and owing hereunder. If Lessor and Lessee are unable
to agree that a Force Majeure or a Hotel Market Decline has occurred, within
thirty (30) days after the date of written certification from Lessee to Lessor
that a Force Majeure and Hotel Market Decline has occurred (accompanied by
reasonably detailed computations and documentation to support such assertion),
the matter may be submitted by either party to arbitration under Section 25.2
hereof for resolution (during which period Lessee shall continue to pay Base
Rent and Percentage Rent as required under Section 3.1 of this Lease). If,
within ninety (90) days (during which period Lessee shall continue to pay Base
Rent and Percentage Rent as required under Section 3.1 of this Lease) following
the date of such written certification from Lessee (or the date of a decision of
an arbitrator if required hereunder to determine that a Force Majeure and Hotel
Market Decline has occurred), Lessor and Lessee are unable to agree upon the
amount of reduction in Base Rent and Percentage Rent contemplated hereby, Lessee
shall have the option to terminate this Lease upon not less than thirty (30)
days prior written notice to Lessor.

          (b) In the event of the occurrence of a National Economic Decline or a
Regional Market Decline, Lessor and Lessee shall, in good faith, negotiate (i)
possible modifications to the Base Rent and Percentage Rent to reduce such Base
Rent and Percentage Rent to recent market rates for hotel REIT leases for
similar hotel properties in the Hotel's Competitive Set, and (ii) possible
modifications to the Base and Percentage Rent payable under each of the Other
Leases for Other Hotels in the same Region (as defined in the STR Reports) as
the Hotel to reduce such Base Rent and Percentage Rent to recent market rates
for hotel REIT leases for similar hotel properties in the Hotel's Competitive
Set, in each case retroactively effective as of the first calendar month of the
Term following the last day of the six month period during which such Regional
Market Decline has occurred with the excess of Base Rent and Percentage Rent
actually paid for such period over the reduced Base Rent and Percentage Rent,
plus interest thereon at the Base Rent, to be credited to the next payments of
Rent due and owing hereunder. If, within thirty (30) days after

                                      23
<PAGE>

the date of written certification from Lessee to Lessor that a National Economic
Decline and Regional Market Decline has occurred (accompanied by reasonably
detailed computations and documentation to support such assertion), Lessor and
Lessee are unable to agree that a National Economic Decline or Regional Market
Decline has occurred, the matter may be submitted by either party to arbitration
under Section 25.2 hereof for resolution (during which period Lessee shall
continue to pay Base Rent and Percentage Rent as required under Section 3.1 of
this Lease). If, within ninety (90) days (during which period Lessee shall
continue to pay Base Rent and Percentage Rent as required under Section 3.1 of
this Lease) following the date of such initial written certification from Lessee
(or the date of a decision of an arbitrator if required hereunder to determine
that a National Economic Decline and Regional Market Decline has occurred),
Lessor and Lessee are unable to agree upon the amount of reduction in Base Rent
and Percentage Rent contemplated hereby, Lessee shall have the option, upon not
less than sixty (60) days prior written notice to Lessor, to terminate all (but
not less than all) of the Existing Leases of hotels in the same Region as the
Hotel, including this Lease.

     3.6. Rent Adjustment: Basic Assumptions Incorrect. Except to the extent
          --------------------------------------------
that doing so would cause Lessor to recognize income other than "rents from real
property" as defined in Section 856(d) of the Code, notwithstanding anything
herein (other than Article 19) to the contrary, if (i) the facts and
circumstances underlying the documented, basic assumptions upon which both
Lessor and Lessee have relied in determining the Base Rent, the Suite Revenue
Breakpoint, and the Percentage Rent payable hereunder become materially
incorrect solely as a result of (A) a decision to re-brand the Hotel that is
made after the Commencement Date, (B) the scope or cost of substantial
renovations or other capital improvements to the Hotel, or (C) the
implementation of any other hotel repositioning strategies (that were not
planned as of the Commencement Date) resulting in significant disruption of the
operations of the Hotel (collectively, a "Repositioning"), and (ii) Lessor and
Lessee so agree in writing, then Lessor and Lessee shall, in good faith,
negotiate modifications to the Base Rent, Suite Revenue Breakpoint and
Percentage Rent to adjust (i.e., increase, decrease or reallocate among revenue
categories) such Base Rent, Suite Revenue Breakpoint and Percentage Rent to
reflect such change in basic assumptions for the affected periods, using the
same methodology and other basic assumptions as were initially utilized in
determining the Base Rent, Suite Revenue Breakpoint and Percentage Rent
hereunder. If Lessor and Lessee are unable to agree, within thirty (30) days
after the date of written certification from either Lessee or Lessor to the
other party that a good faith dispute exists, as to the existence of the
occurrence of a Repositioning or the adjustments to be made to the amounts or
percentages for the Base Rent, Suite Revenue Breakpoint and Percentage Rent
hereunder as a result of any repositioning, the dispute may be submitted by
either party to arbitration under Section 25.2 hereof for resolution (during
which period Lessee shall continue to pay Base Rent and Percentage Rent as
required under Section 3.1 of this Lease); provided, however, that for purposes
of applying the procedures in Section 25.3 to such arbitration, the target
deadline therein for concluding the arbitration shall be shortened from ninety
(90) days to thirty (30) days.

     4.1. Annual Budget. Not later than thirty (30) days prior to the
          -------------
commencement of each Fiscal Year, Lessee shall submit the Annual Budget to
Lessor. The Annual Budget shall contain the following, to the extent included in
the operating budgets and capital budgets provided to Lessee by Manager under
the management agreement for the Hotel:

          (a) Lessee's reasonable estimate of Gross Revenues (including room
rates and Suite Revenues), Gross Operating Expenses, and Gross Operating Profits
for the forthcoming Fiscal Year itemized on schedules on a quarterly basis as
approved by Lessor and Lessee, as same may be revised or replaced from time to
time by Lessee and approved by Lessor, together with the assumptions, in
narrative form, forming the basis of such schedules.

          (b) An estimate of the amounts to be dedicated to the repair,
replacement, or refurbishment of Furniture and Equipment.

          (c) An estimate of any amounts Lessor will be required to provide for
required or desirable capital improvements to the Hotel or any of its
components.

          (d) A cash flow projection.

          (e) A business plan, which shall describe business objectives and
strategies for the forthcoming Fiscal Year, and shall include without limitation
an analysis of the market area in which the Hotel competes, a comparison of the
Hotel and its business with competitive hotels, an analysis of categories of
potential guests, and a description of sales and marketing activities designed
to achieve and implement identified objectives and strategies.

     4.2. Books and Records. Lessee shall keep full and adequate books of
          -----------------
account and other records reflecting the results of operation of the Hotel on an
accrual basis, all in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
and the obligations of Lessee under this Lease. The books of account and all
other records relating to or reflecting the operation of the Hotel shall be kept
either at the Hotel or at Lessee's offices in Richmond, Virginia or at Manager's
central offices, and shall be available to Lessor and its representatives and
its auditors or accountants, at all reasonable times, upon prior written notice
to Lessee and Manager, for examination, audit, inspection, and transcription;
provided, however that Lessor may only inspect or audit records in Manager's
possession subject to the terms of Lessee's access thereto under the Management
Agreement. All of such books and records pertaining to the Hotel including,
without limitation, books of account, guest records and front office records, at
all times shall be the property of Lessor and shall not be removed from the
Hotel or Lessee's offices or Manager's central offices (but may be moved among
any of the foregoing) by Lessee without Lessor approval.

                            IMPOSITIONS; HOTEL COSTS

     5.1. Payment of Impositions. Subject to Section 12.2 (relating to permitted
          ----------------------
contests), Lessee will pay, or cause to be paid, all Impositions (other than
Real Estate Taxes and Personal Property Taxes, which shall be paid by Lessor)
before any fine, penalty, interest or cost may be

                                      25
<PAGE>

added for non-payment, such payments to be made directly to the taxing or other
authorities where feasible, and will promptly furnish to Lessor copies of
official receipts or other satisfactory proof evidencing such payments. Lessee's
obligation to pay such Impositions shall be deemed absolutely fixed upon the
date such Impositions become a lien upon the Leased Property or any part
thereof. If any such Imposition may, at the option of the taxpayer, lawfully be
paid in installments (whether or not interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance
of such Imposition), Lessee may exercise the option to pay the same (and any
accrued interest on the unpaid balance of such Imposition) in installments and
in such event, shall pay such installments during the Term hereof (subject to
Lessee's right of contest pursuant to the provisions of Section 12.2) as the
same respectively become due and before any fine, penalty, premium, further
interest or cost may be added thereto. Lessor, at its expense, shall, to the
extent required or permitted by applicable law, prepare and file all tax returns
in respect of Lessor's net income, gross receipts, sales and use, single
business, transaction privilege, rent, ad valorem, franchise taxes, Real Estate
Taxes, Personal Property Taxes and taxes on its capital stock, and Lessee, at
its expense, shall, to the extent required or permitted by applicable laws and
regulations, prepare and file all other tax returns and reports in respect of
any Imposition as may be required by governmental authorities. If any refund
shall be due from any taxing authority in respect of any Imposition paid by
Lessee, the same shall be paid over to or retained by Lessee if no Event of
Default shall have occurred hereunder and be continuing. If an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, any such refund shall be paid over to or
retained by Lessor. Any such funds retained by Lessor due to an Event of Default
shall be applied as provided in Article 16. Lessor and Lessee shall, upon
request of the other, provide such data as is maintained by the party to whom
the request is made with respect to the Leased Property as may be necessary to
prepare any required returns and reports. Lessee shall file all Personal
Property Tax returns in such jurisdictions where it is legally required so to
file. Lessor, to the extent it possesses the same, and Lessee, to the extent it
possesses the same, will provide the other party, upon request, with cost and
depreciation records necessary for filing returns for any property classified as
personal property. Where Lessor is legally required to file Personal Property
Tax returns, Lessee shall provide Lessor with copies of assessment notices in
sufficient time for Lessor to file a protest. Lessor may, upon Notice to Lessee,
at Lessor's option and at Lessor's sole expense, protest, appeal, or institute
such other proceedings (in its or Lessee's name) as Lessor may deem appropriate
to effect a reduction of real estate or personal property assessments for those
Impositions to be paid by Lessor, and Lessee, at Lessor's expense as aforesaid,
shall fully cooperate with Lessor in such protest, appeal, or other action.
Lessor hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Lessee from and
against any claims, obligations, liabilities and loss against or incurred by
Lessee in connection with such cooperation. Billings for reimbursement of
Personal Property Taxes by Lessee to Lessor shall be accompanied by copies of a
bill therefor and payments thereof which identify the personal property with
respect to which such payments are made. Lessor, however, reserves the right to
effect any such protest, appeal or other action and, upon Notice to Lessee,
shall control any such activity, which shall then go forward at Lessor's sole
expense. Upon such Notice, Lessee, at Lessor's expense, shall cooperate fully
with such activities.

     5.2. Notice of Impositions. Lessor shall give prompt Notice to Lessee of
          ---------------------
all Impositions payable by Lessee hereunder of which Lessor at any time has
knowledge, provided that Lessor's failure to give any such Notice shall in no
way diminish Lessee's obligations hereunder to pay such Impositions, but such
failure shall obviate any default hereunder for a reasonable time after Lessee

                                      26
<PAGE>

receives Notice of any Imposition which it is obligated to pay during the first
taxing period applicable thereto.

     5.3. Adjustment of Impositions. Impositions imposed in respect of the
          -------------------------
tax-fiscal period during which the Term terminates shall be adjusted and
prorated between Lessor and Lessee, whether or not such Imposition is imposed
before or after such termination, and Lessee's obligation to pay its prorated
share thereof after termination shall survive such termination.

     5.4. Utility Charges. Lessee will be solely responsible for obtaining and
          ---------------
maintaining utility services to the Leased Property and will pay or cause to be
paid all charges for electricity, gas, oil, water, sewer and other utilities
used in the Leased Property during the Term.

     5.5. Insurance Premiums. Lessee will pay or cause to be paid all premiums
          ------------------
for the insurance coverage's required to be maintained by it under Article 13.

     5.6. Franchise Fees. Lessee will maintain in full force and effect, and pay
          --------------
or cause to be paid all fees and other charges payable pursuant to, any
Franchise Agreement with respect to the Hotel.

     5.7. Ground Rent. In the event that Lessor's interest in the Land is
          -----------
pursuant to a Ground Lease or sublease, Lessor shall be solely responsible for
the payment of any ground rent, building rent or subrent, as the case may be,
due with respect to the Leased Property.

                   LEASED PROPERTY; LESSEE'S PERSONAL PROPERTY

     6.1. Ownership of the Leased Property. Lessee acknowledges that the Leased
          --------------------------------
Property is the property of Lessor and that Lessee has only the right to the
possession and use of the Leased Property upon the terms and conditions of this
Lease.

     6.2. Lessee's Personal Property. Lessee will acquire and maintain
          --------------------------
throughout the Term such Inventory as is required to operate the Leased Property
in the manner contemplated by this Lease. Lessee may (and shall as provided
hereinbelow), at its expense, install, affix or assemble or place on any parcels
of the Land or in any of the Leased Improvements, any items of personal property
(including Inventory) owned by Lessee. Lessee, at the commencement of the Term,
and from time to time thereafter, shall provide Lessor with an accurate list of
all such items of Lessee's personal property (collectively, the "Lessee's
Personal Property"). Lessee may, subject to the first sentence of this Section
6.2 and the conditions set forth below, remove any of Lessee's Personal Property
set forth on such list at any time during the Term or upon the expiration or any
prior termination of the Term. All of Lessee's Personal Property, other than
Inventory, not removed by Lessee within ten (10) days following the expiration
or earlier termination of the Term shall be considered abandoned by Lessee and
may be appropriated, sold, destroyed or otherwise disposed of by Lessor without
first giving Notice thereof to Lessee, without any payment to Lessee and without
any obligation to account therefor. Lessee will, at its expense, restore the
Leased Property to the condition required by Subsection 2.3(g), including repair
of all damage to the Leased Property

                                      27
<PAGE>

caused by the removal of Lessee's Personal Property, whether effected by Lessee
or Lessor. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Lessor or its
designee shall have the option to purchase all Inventory on hand at the Leased
Property at the time of such expiration or termination for a sale price equal to
the fair market value of such Inventory. Lessee may make such financing
arrangements, title retention agreements, leases or other agreements with
respect to Lessee's Personal Property as it sees fit provided that Lessee first
advises Lessor of any such arrangement and such arrangement expressly provides
that in the event of Lessee's default thereunder, Lessor (or its designee) may
assume Lessee's obligations and rights under such arrangement.

     6.3. Lessor's Lien. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
          -------------
Lessor is granted a lien and security interest on all Lessee's personal property
now or hereinafter placed in or upon the Leased Property, and such lien and
security interest shall remain attached to such Lessee's personal property until
payment in full of all Rent and satisfaction of all of Lessee's obligations
hereunder; provided, however, Lessor shall subordinate its lien and security
interest to that of any non-Affiliate of Lessee which finances such Lessee's
personal property or any non-Affiliate conditional seller of such Lessee's
personal property, the terms and conditions of such subordination to be
satisfactory to Lessor in the exercise of reasonable discretion. Lessee shall,
upon the request of Lessor, execute such financing statements or other documents
or instruments reasonably requested by Lessor to perfect the lien and security
interests herein granted. Lessee hereby authorizes Lessor to execute and file
financing statements signed only be a representative of Lessor covering the
security interest of Lessor in Lessee's personal property.

     6.4. Lessor's Option to Purchase Assets of Lessee. Effective on not less
          --------------------------------------------
than ninety (90) days' prior Notice given at any time within one hundred eighty
(180) days before the expiration of the Term, but not later than ninety (90)
days prior to such expiration, or upon such shorter Notice period as shall be
appropriate if this Lease is terminated prior to its expiration date, Lessor
shall have the option to purchase all (but not less than all) of the assets of
Lessee, tangible and intangible, relating to the Leased Property (other than
this Lease), at the expiration or termination of this Lease for an amount
(payable in cash on the expiration date of this Lease) equal to the fair market
value thereof as appraised in conformity with Article 24, except that the
appraisers need not be members of the American Institute of Real Estate
Appraisers, but rather shall be appraisers having at least ten (10) years'
experience in valuing similar assets. Notwithstanding any such purchase, Lessor
shall obtain no rights to any trade name or logo used in connection with the
Franchise Agreement unless separate agreement as to such use is reached with the
applicable franchisor.

                      CONDITION AND USE OF LEASED PROPERTY

     7.1. Condition of the Leased Property. Lessee acknowledges receipt and
          --------------------------------
delivery of possession of the Leased Property. Lessee has examined and otherwise
has knowledge of the condition of the Leased Property and has found the same to
be satisfactory for its purposes hereunder. Lessee is leasing the Leased
Property "as is" in its present condition. Lessee waives any claim or action
against Lessor in respect of the condition of the Leased Property. LESSOR MAKES
NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN RESPECT OF THE LEASED
PROPERTY, OR ANY PART THEREOF, EITHER AS TO ITS FITNESS FOR USE, DESIGN OR
CONDITION FOR ANY PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE OR OTHERWISE, AS TO THE QUALITY OF
THE MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP THEREIN, LATENT OR PATENT, IT BEING AGREED THAT ALL
SUCH RISKS ARE TO BE BORNE BY LESSEE. LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE LEASED
PROPERTY HAS BEEN INSPECTED BY LESSEE AND IS SATISFACTORY TO IT. Provided,
however, to the extent permitted by law, Lessor hereby assigns to Lessee all of
Lessor's rights to proceed against any predecessor in title (other than any
Affiliate of Lessee which conveyed the Property to Lessor) for breaches of
warranties or representations or for latent defects in the Leased Property.
Lessor shall fully cooperate with Lessee in the prosecution of any such claim,
in Lessor's or Lessee's name, all at Lessee's sole cost and expense. Lessee
hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lessor from and against any
claims, obligations and liabilities against or incurred by Lessor in connection
with such cooperation.

     7.2. Use of the Leased Property.
          --------------------------

          (a) Lessee covenants that it will proceed with all due diligence and
will exercise reasonable efforts to obtain and to maintain all Licenses and
other approvals needed to use and operate the Leased Property and the Hotel
under applicable local, state and federal law.

          (b) Lessee shall use or cause to be used the Leased Property only as a
Residence Inn by Marriott hotel facility, and for such other uses as may be
necessary or incidental to such use or such other use as otherwise approved by
Lessor (the "Primary Intended Use"). Lessee shall not use the Leased Property or
any portion thereof for any other use without the prior written consent of
Lessor, which consent may be granted, denied or conditioned in Lessor's sole
discretion. No use shall be made or permitted to be made of the Leased Property,
and no acts shall be done, which will cause the cancellation or increase the
premium of any insurance policy covering the Leased Property or any part thereof
(unless another adequate policy satisfactory to Lessor is available and Lessee
pays any premium increase), nor shall Lessee sell or permit to be kept, used or
sold in or about the Leased Property any article which may be prohibited by law
or fire underwriter's regulations. Lessee shall, at its sole cost, comply with
all of the requirements pertaining to the Leased Property of any insurance
board, association, organization or company necessary for the maintenance of
insurance, as herein provided, covering the Leased Property and Lessee's
Personal Property.

                                      29
<PAGE>

          (c) Subject to the provisions of Articles 14, 15, 18 and 21, Lessee
covenants and agrees that during the Term it will (1) operate continuously the
Leased Property as a hotel facility, (2) keep in full force and effect and
comply with all the provisions of the Franchise Agreement and the Management
Agreement, (3) not terminate or amend the Franchise Agreement or the Management
Agreement without the consent of Lessor (which shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed), (4) maintain appropriate certifications and Licenses for
such use and (5) seek to maximize the Gross Revenues generated therefrom
consistent with sound business practices.

          (d) Lessee shall not commit or suffer to be committed any waste on the
Leased Property, or in the Hotel, nor shall Lessee cause or permit any nuisance
thereon.

          (e) Lessee shall neither suffer nor permit the Leased Property or any
portion thereof, or Lessee's Personal Property, to be used in such a manner as
(1) might reasonably tend to impair Lessor's (or Lessee's, as the case may be)
title thereto or to any portion thereof, or (2) may reasonably make possible a
claim or claims of adverse usage or adverse possession by the public, as such,
or of implied dedication of the Leased Property or any portion thereof, except
as necessary in the ordinary and prudent operation of the Hotel on the Leased
Property.

     7.3. Lessor to Grant Easements, Etc. Lessor will, from time to time, so
          ------------------------------
long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at the request of
Lessee and at Lessee's cost and expense (but subject to the approval of Lessor,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (a) grant
easements and other rights in the nature of easements with respect to the Leased
Property to third parties, (b) release existing easements or other rights in the
nature of easements which are for the benefit of the Leased Property, (c)
dedicate or transfer unimproved portions of the Leased Property for road,
highway or other public purposes, (d) execute petitions to have the Leased
Property annexed to any municipal corporation or utility district, (e) execute
amendments to any covenants and restrictions affecting the Leased Property and
(f) execute and deliver to any Person any instrument appropriate to confirm or
effect such grants, releases, dedications, transfers, petitions and amendments
(to the extent of its interests in the Leased Property), but only upon delivery
to Lessor of an Officer's Certificate stating that such grant, release,
dedication, transfer, petition or amendment does not interfere with the proper
conduct of the business of Lessee on the Leased Property and does not materially
reduce the value of the Leased Property.

     8.1. Compliance with Legal and Insurance Requirements, Etc. Subject to
          -----------------------------------------------------
Subsection 8.3(b) below and Section 12.2 (relating to permitted contests),
Lessee, at its expense, will promptly (a) comply with all applicable Legal
Requirements and Insurance Requirements in respect of the use, operation,
maintenance, repair and restoration of the Leased Property (excluding any repair
or restoration of any portion of the Leased Property required to be made by
Lessor pursuant to Subsection 9.1(b) below, which repair shall be made by
Lessor), and (b) procure, maintain and comply with all appropriate Licenses and
other authorizations required for any use of the Leased Property and Lessee's
Personal Property then being made, and for the proper erection, installation,
operation and maintenance of the Leased Property or any part thereof.

     8.2. Legal Requirement Covenants.
          ---------------------------

          (a) Subject to Subsection 8.3(b) and Subsection 9.1(b) below, Lessee
covenants and agrees that the Leased Property and Lessee's Personal Property
shall not be used for any unlawful purpose, and that Lessee shall not permit or
suffer to exist any unlawful use of the Leased Property by others. Lessee shall
acquire and maintain all appropriate licenses, certifications, permits and other
authorizations and approvals needed to operate the Leased Property in its
customary manner for the Primary Intended Use, and any other lawful use
conducted on the Leased Property as may be permitted from time to time
hereunder. Lessee further covenants and agrees that Lessee's use of the Leased
Property and maintenance, alteration, and operation of the same, and all parts
thereof, shall at all times conform to all Legal Requirements, unless the same
are finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unlawful (and
Lessee shall cause all sub- tenants, invitees or others within its control so to
comply with all Legal Requirements). Lessee may, however, upon prior Notice to
Lessor, contest the legality or applicability of any such Legal Requirement or
any licensure or certification decision if Lessee maintains such action in good
faith, with due diligence, without prejudice to Lessor's rights hereunder, and
at Lessee's sole expense. If by the terms of any such Legal Requirement
compliance therewith pending the prosecution of any such proceeding may legally
be delayed without the occurrence of any charge or liability of any kind, or the
filing of any lien, against the Hotel or Lessee's leasehold interest therein and
without subjecting Lessee or Lessor to any liability, civil or criminal, for
failure so to comply therewith, Lessee may delay compliance therewith until the
final determination of such proceeding. If any lien, charge or civil or criminal
liability would be incurred by reason of any such delay, Lessee, on the prior
written consent of Lessor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed, may nonetheless contest as aforesaid and delay as aforesaid provided
that such delay would not subject Lessor to criminal liability and Lessee both
(a) furnishes to Lessor security reasonably satisfactory to Lessor against any
loss or injury by reason of such contest or delay and (b) prosecutes the contest
with due diligence and in good faith.

          (b) As between Lessor and Lessee, Lessee is solely responsible for all
liabilities or obligations of any kind with respect to employees at the Leased
Property during the Term. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing
sentence, Lessee is solely responsible for any required compliance with the
Worker Adjustment, Retraining and Notification Act of 1988 (the "WARN Act") or
any similar state law applicable to the Leased Property; any required compliance
with the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended
("COBRA"); and all alleged and actual obligations and claims arising from or
relating to any employment agreement, collective bargaining agreement or
employee benefit plans, any grievances, arbitrations, or unfair labor practice
charges, and relating to compliance with any applicable state or federal labor
employment law, including but not limited to all laws pertaining to
discrimination, workers' compensation, unemployment compensation, occupational
safety and health, unfair labor practices, family and medical leave, and wages,
hours or employee benefits. Lessee agrees to indemnify and defend and hold
harmless Lessor from and against any claims relating to any of the foregoing
matters. Lessee further agrees to reimburse Lessor for any and all losses,
damages, costs, expenses, liabilities and obligations of any kind, including
without limitation reasonable attorney's fees and other legal costs and
expenses, incurred by Lessor in connection with any of the foregoing matters.

                                      31
<PAGE>

          (c) Notwithstanding the Lessee's obligations under Section 8.1 to
obtain and maintain all permits and licenses required for the use of the Leased
Property, and without limiting any obligations of Lessee hereunder, if (i)
applicable law requires that the owner (rather than a lessee) of a hotel be the
licensee under the required liquor license for the Hotel or (ii) the former
owner of the Hotel is holding the liquor license and continuing to exercise
management and supervision of the liquor services at the Hotel pending transfer
of the license to Lessor or Lessee, the Lessee shall indemnify and hold Lessor
harmless from any liability, damages or claims (a) arising in connection with
liquor operations at the Hotel during such period of time following the
Commencement Date, except to the extent caused by Lessor's gross negligence or
willful misconduct or (b) made by or through the former owner with respect to
liquor operations at the Hotel following the Commencement Date.

     8.3. Environmental Covenants. Lessor and Lessee (in addition to, and not in
          -----------------------
diminution of, Lessee's covenants and undertakings in Sections 8.1 and 8.2
hereof) covenant and agree as follows:

          (a) At all times hereafter until the later of (i) such time as all
liabilities, duties or obligations of Lessee to Lessor under the Lease have been
satisfied in full and (ii) such time as Lessee completely vacates the Leased
Property and surrenders possession of the same to Lessor, Lessee shall fully
comply with all Environmental Laws applicable to the Leased Property and the
operations thereon. Lessee agrees to give Lessor prompt Notice of (1) all
Environmental Liabilities; (2) all pending, threatened or anticipated
Proceedings, and all notices, demands, requests or investigations, relating to
any Environmental Liability or relating to the issuance, revocation or change in
any Environmental Authorization required for operation of the Leased Property;
(3) all Releases at, on, in, under or in any way affecting the Leased Property,
or any Release known by Lessee at, on, in or under any property adjacent to the
Leased Property; and (4) all facts, events or conditions that could reasonably
lead to the occurrence of any of the above-referenced matters.

          (b) Lessor hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and save harmless any
and all Lessee Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Environmental
Liabilities other than (i) Environmental Liabilities resulting from conditions
disclosed in any environmental audit obtained by Lessor and provided to Lessee
prior to the execution of this Lease (the "Environmental Audit"), and (ii)
Environmental Liabilities which were caused by the acts or negligent failures to
act of Lessee.

          (c) Lessee hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and save harmless any
and all Lessor Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Environmental
Liabilities which were (i) resulting from conditions disclosed in the
Environmental Audit, and (ii) caused by the acts or negligent failures to act of
Lessee.

          (d) If any Proceeding is brought against any Indemnified Party in
respect of an Environmental Liability with respect to which such Indemnified
Party may claim indemnification under either Subsection 8.3(b) or (c), the
Indemnifying Party, upon request, shall at its sole expense resist and defend
such Proceeding, or cause the same to be resisted and defended by counsel
designated by the Indemnified Party and approved by the Indemnifying Party,
which approval shall

                                      32
<PAGE>

not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that such approval
shall not be required in the case of defense by counsel designated by any
insurance company undertaking such defense pursuant to any applicable policy of
insurance. Each Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate
counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but
the fees and expenses of such counsel will be at the sole expense of such
Indemnified Party unless such counsel has been approved by the Indemnifying
Party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The
Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding
made without its consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed,
but if settled with the consent of the Indemnifying Party, or if settled without
its consent (if its consent shall be unreasonably withheld or delayed), or if
there be a final, nonappealable judgment for an adversary party in any such
Proceeding, the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Indemnified Parties from and against any liabilities and loss incurred by such
Indemnified Parties by reason of such settlement or judgement.

          (e) At any time any Indemnified Party has reason to believe
circumstances exist which could reasonably result in an Environmental Liability,
upon reasonable prior Notice to Lessee and Manager stating such Indemnified
Party's basis for such belief, an Indemnified Party shall be given immediate
access to the Leased Property (including, but not limited to, the right to enter
upon, investigate, drill wells, take soil borings, excavate, monitor, test, cap
and use available land for the testing of remedial technologies), Lessee's
employees, and to all relevant documents and records regarding the matter as to
which a responsibility, liability or obligation is asserted or which is the
subject of any Proceeding; provided that such access may he conditioned or
restricted as may be reasonably necessary to ensure compliance with law and the
safety of personnel and facilities or to protect confidential or privileged
information. All Indemnified Parties requesting such immediate access and
cooperation shall endeavor to coordinate such efforts to result in as minimal
interruption of the operation of the Leased Property as practicable.

          (f) The indemnification rights and obligations provided for in this
Article 8 shall be in addition to any indemnification rights and obligations
provided for elsewhere in this Lease.

          (g) The indemnification rights and obligations provided for in this
Article 8 shall survive the termination of this Lease.

     For purposes of this Section 8.3, all amounts for which any Indemnified
Party seeks indemnification shall be computed net of (a) any actual income tax
benefit resulting therefrom to such Indemnified Party, (b) any insurance
proceeds received (net of tax effects) with respect thereto, and (c) any amounts
recovered (net of tax effects) from any third parties based on claims the
Indemnified Party has against such third parties which reduce the damages that
would otherwise be sustained; provided that in all cases, the timing of the
receipt or realization of insurance proceeds or income tax benefits or
recoveries from third parties shall be taken into account in determining the
amount of reduction of damages.  Each Indemnified Party agrees to use its
reasonable efforts to pursue, or assign to Lessee or Lessor, as the case may be,
any claims or rights it may have against any third party which would materially
reduce the amount of damages otherwise incurred by such Indemnified Party.

                                      33
<PAGE>

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, if Lessor
shall become entitled to the possession of the Leased Property by virtue of the
termination of the Lease or repossession of the Leased Property, then Lessor may
assign its indemnification rights under this Section 8.3 (but not any other
rights under this Section 8.3) to any Person to whom Lessor subsequently
transfers the Leased Property, subject to the following conditions and
limitations, each of which shall be deemed to be incorporated into the terms of
such assignment, whether or not specifically referred to therein:

               (i)   The indemnification rights referred to in this section may
          be assigned only if a known Environmental Liability then exists or if
          a Proceeding is then pending or, to the knowledge of Lessee or Lessor,
          then threatened with respect to the Leased Property;

               (ii)  Such indemnification rights shall be limited to
          Environmental Liabilities relating to or specifically affecting the
          Leased Property; and

               (iii) Any assignment of such indemnification rights shall be
          limited to the immediate transferee of Lessor, and shall not extend to
          any such transferee's successors or assigns.

             MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS; ENCROACHMENTS AND RESTRICTIONS

     9.1. Maintenance and Repairs.
          -----------------------

          (a) Lessee, at its sole expense, will keep the Leased Property, and
all private roadways, sidewalks and curbs appurtenant thereto that are under
Lessee's control, including windows and plate glass, mechanical, electrical and
plumbing systems and equipment (including conduit and ductware), and non- load
bearing interior walls, and parking lot surfaces, in good order and repair,
except (i) for ordinary wear and tear (whether or not the need for such repairs
occurred as a result of Lessee's use, any prior use, the elements or the age of
the Leased Property, or any portion thereof) and (ii) to the extent of damage
caused by Lessor's gross negligence or willful misconduct or that of its
employees or agents, and, except as otherwise provided in Subsection 9.1(b),
Article 14 or Article 15, with reasonable promptness, make all necessary and
appropriate repairs replacements, and improvements thereto of every kind and
nature, whether interior or exterior ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or
unforeseen or arising by reason of a condition existing prior to the
commencement of the Term of this Lease (concealed or otherwise), or required by
any governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Leased Property, except as
to the structural elements of the Leased Improvements. Lessee, however, shall be
permitted to prosecute claims against Lessor's predecessors in title for breach
of any representation or warranty or for any latent defects in the Leased
Property to be maintained by Lessee unless Lessor is already diligently pursuing
such a claim. All repairs shall, to the extent reasonably achievable, be at
least equivalent in quality to the original work. Lessee will not take or omit
to take any action, the taking or omission of which might materially impair the
value or the usefulness of the Leased Property or any part thereof for its
Primary Intended Use.

                                      34
<PAGE>

          (b) Notwithstanding Lessee's obligations under Subsection 9.1(a)
above, except to the extent of damage caused by Lessee's negligence or willful
misconduct or that of its employees or agents, Lessor shall be required to bear
the cost of maintaining any underground utilities and the structural elements of
the Leased Improvements, including exterior walls and the roof of the Hotel (but
excluding windows and plate glass, mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems
and equipment, including conduit and ductware, and non- load bearing walls, and
parking lot surfaces). Except as set forth in the preceding sentence and in
Section 10.5, Lessor shall not under any circumstances be required to build or
rebuild any improvement on the Leased Property, or to make any repairs,
replacements, alterations, restorations or renewals of any nature or description
to the Leased Property, whether ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or
unforeseen, or to make any expenditure whatsoever with respect thereto, in
connection with this Lease, or to maintain the Leased Property in any way.
Lessee hereby waives, to the extent permitted by law, the right to make repairs
at the expense of Lessor, pursuant to any law in effect at the time of the
execution of this Lease or hereafter enacted, except following default by Lessor
under this Lease, to the extent of repairs (for which Lessor is obligated
hereunder) required to be made in order for the Hotel, and Lessee's use thereof,
to comply with Lessee's obligations under the Franchise Agreement and the
Management Agreement. Lessor shall have the right to give, record and post, as
appropriate, notices of nonresponsibility under any mechanic's lien laws now or
hereafter existing.

          (c) Nothing contained in this Lease and no action or inaction by
Lessor shall be construed as (1) constituting the request of Lessor, expressed
or implied, to any contractor, subcontractor, laborer, materialman or vendor to
or for the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any
materials or other property for the construction, alteration, addition, repair
or demolition of or to the Leased Property or any part thereof, or (2) giving
Lessee any right, power or permission to contract for or permit the performance
of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in
such fashion as would permit the making of any claim against Lessor in respect
thereof or to make any agreement that may create, or in any way be the basis for
any right, title, interest, lien, claim or other encumbrance upon the estate of
Lessor in the Leased Property, or any portion thereof.

     9.2. Encroachments, Restrictions, Etc. Lessor represents and warrants that
          --------------------------------
the Leased Improvements do not materially encroach upon any property, street or
right-of-way adjacent to the Leased Property, or violate the agreements or
conditions contained in any lawful restrictive covenant or other agreement
affecting the Leased Property, or any part thereof, or impair the rights of
others under any easement or right-of-way to which the Leased Property is
subject. Except to the extent that such representation and warranty is breached
by Lessor, if any of the Leased Improvements, at any time hereafter, materially
encroach upon any property, street or right-of-way adjacent to the Leased
Property, or violate the agreements or conditions contained in any lawful
restrictive covenant or other agreement affecting the Leased Property, or any
part thereof, or impair the rights of others under any easement or right-of-way
to which the Leased Property is subject, then promptly upon the request of
Lessor or at the behest of any Person affected by any such encroachment,
violation or impairment, Lessee shall, at its expense, subject to its right to
contest the existence of any encroachment, violation or impairment and in such
case, in the event of an adverse final determination, either (a) obtain valid
and effective waivers or settlements of all claims, liabilities and damages
resulting from each such encroachment, violation or impairment, whether the same
shall affect Lessor or Lessee or (b) make such changes in the Leased

                                      35
<PAGE>

Improvements, and take such other actions, as Lessee in the good faith exercise
of its judgment deems reasonably practicable to remove such encroachment, and to
end such violation or impairment, including, if necessary, the alteration of any
of the Leased Improvements, and in any event take all such actions as may be
necessary in order to be able to continue the operation of the Leased
Improvements for the Primary Intended Use substantially in the manner and to the
extent the Leased Improvements were operated prior to the assertion of such
violation, impairment or encroachment. Any such alteration shall be made in
conformity with the applicable requirements of Article 10. Lessee's obligations
under this Section 9.2 shall be in addition to and shall in no way discharge or
diminish any obligation of any insurer under any policy of title or other
insurance held by Lessor.

                   ALTERATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS; FF&E RESERVE

     10.1. Alterations. After receiving approval of Lessor, which approval shall
           -----------
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, Lessee shall have the right to make
such additions, modifications or improvements to the Leased Property from time
to time as Lessee deems desirable for its permitted uses and purposes, provided
that such action will not significantly alter the character or purposes or
significantly detract from the value or operating efficiency thereof and will
not significantly impair the revenue-producing capability of the Leased Property
or adversely affect the ability of Lessee to comply with the provisions of this
Lease. The cost of such additions, modifications or improvements to the Leased
Property shall be paid by Lessee, and all such additions, modifications and
improvements shall, without payment by Lessor at any time, be included under the
terms of this Lease and upon expiration or earlier termination of this Lease
shall pass to and become the property of Lessor.

     10.2. Salvage. All materials which are scrapped or removed in connection
           -------
with the making of repairs required by Articles 9 or 10 shall be or become the
property of Lessor or Lessee depending on which party is paying for or providing
the financing for such work.

     10.3. Joint Use Agreements. If Lessee constructs additional improvements
           --------------------
that are connected to the Leased Property or share maintenance facilities, HVAC,
electrical, plumbing or other systems, utilities, parking or other amenities,
the parties shall enter into a mutually agreeable cross-easement or joint use
agreement, the form of which has been approved in advance by Lessor, to make
available necessary services and facilities in connection with such additional
improvements, to protect each of their respective interests in the properties
affected, and to provide for separate ownership, use, and/or financing of such
improvements.

     10.4. Intentionally Deleted.
           ----------------------

     10.5. Furniture, Fixture and Equipment Allowance. Lessor shall be obligated
           ------------------------------------------
to pay Lessee, when and as required to meet the requirements of the Franchise
Agreement and the Management Agreement for a reserve for periodic repair,
replacement or refurbishing of furniture, fixtures and equipment that constitute
Leased Property, an amount equal up to five percent (5%) of Suite Revenues
monthly. Upon written request by Lessee to Lessor stating the specific use to be
made and the reasonable approval thereof by Lessor (or as otherwise required by
the franchisor under the Franchise Agreement or Manager under the Management
Agreement), such reserve funds

                                      36
<PAGE>

(and additional funds of Lessor, if necessary) shall be made available by Lessor
for use by Lessee for replacement or refurbishing of furniture, fixtures and
equipment that constitute Leased Property in connection with the Primary
Intended Use; provided, however, that no amounts made available under this
Article shall be used to purchase property (other than "real property" within
the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.856-3(d)), to the extent that
doing so would cause Lessor to recognize income other than "rents from real
property" as defined in Section 856(d) of the Code. Lessor's obligation shall be
cumulative, but not compounded, and any amounts that have accrued hereunder
shall be payable in future periods for such uses and in accordance with the
procedure set forth herein. Lessee shall have no interest in any accrued
obligation of Lessor hereunder after the termination of this Lease.

     11.1. Compliance with Franchise Agreement and Management Agreement. To the
           ------------------------------------------------------------
extent any of the provisions of the Franchise Agreement or Management Agreement
impose a greater obligation on Lessee than the corresponding provisions of the
Lease, then Lessee shall be obligated to comply with, and to take all reasonable
actions necessary to prevent breaches or defaults under, the provisions of the
Franchise Agreement and the Management Agreement. It is the intent of the
parties hereto that Lessee shall comply in every respect with the provisions of
the Franchise Agreement and the Management Agreement so as to avoid any material
default thereunder during the term of this Lease. Lessee shall not terminate,
extend or enter into any material modification of the Franchise Agreement or the
Management Agreement without in each instance first obtaining Lessor's prior
written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Lessor and Lessee
agree to cooperate with each other in the event it becomes necessary to obtain a
franchise extension or modification (or, at Lessor's option, a new franchise)
for the Leased Property, and in any transfer of the Franchise Agreement or
Management Agreement to Lessor or any designee of Lessor or any successor to
Lessee upon the termination of this Lease. In the event of expiration or
termination of a Franchise Agreement or Management Agreement, for whatever
reason, Lessor will have the right, in the exercise of its sole discretion, to
approve any new Franchise Agreement or Management Agreement for the Hotel.

     12.1. Liens. Subject to the provisions of Section 12.2 relating to
           -----
permitted contests, Lessee will not directly or indirectly create or allow to
remain and will promptly discharge at its expense any lien, encumbrance,
attachment, title retention agreement or claim upon the Leased Property or any
attachment, levy, claim or encumbrance in respect of the Rent, not including,
however, (a) this Lease, (b) the matters included as exceptions in the title
policy insuring Lessor's interest in the Leased Property, (c) restrictions,
liens and other encumbrances which are consented to in writing by Lessor or any
easements granted pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.3 of this Lease, (d)
liens for those taxes upon Lessor or the Leased Property which Lessee is not
required to pay hereunder, (e) subleases permitted by Article 20 hereof, (f)
liens for Impositions or for sums resulting from noncompliance with Legal
Requirements so long as (1) the same are not yet payable or are payable without
the addition of any fine or penalty or (2) such liens are in the process of
being contested as permitted by Section 12.2, (g) liens of mechanics, laborers,
materialmen, suppliers or vendors for sums either disputed or not yet due
provided that (1) the payment of such sums shall not be postponed under any
related contract for more than sixty (60) days after the completion of the
action giving rise to such lien and such reserve or other appropriate provisions
as shall be required by law or generally accepted accounting principles shall
have been made therefor or (2) any such liens are in the process of being
contested as permitted by Section 12.2 hereof, and (h) any liens which are the
responsibility of Lessor pursuant to the provisions of Article 22 of this Lease.

     12.2. Permitted Contests. Lessee shall have the right to contest the amount
           ------------------
or validity of any Imposition to be paid by Lessee or any Legal Requirement or
Insurance Requirement or any lien, attachment, levy, encumbrance, charge or
claim ("Claims") not otherwise permitted by Section 12.1, by appropriate legal
proceedings in good faith and with due diligence (but this shall not be deemed
or construed in any way to relieve, modify or extend Lessee's covenants to pay
or its covenants to cause to be paid any such charges at the time and in the
manner as in this Section provided), on condition, however, that such legal
proceedings shall not operate to relieve Lessee from its obligations hereunder
and shall not cause the sale or risk the loss of any portion of the Leased
Property, or any part thereof, or cause Lessor or Lessee to be in default under
any mortgage, deed of trust, security deed or other agreement encumbering the
Leased Property or any interest therein. Upon the request of Lessor, Lessee
shall either (a) provide a bond or other assurance reasonably satisfactory to
Lessor that all Claims which may be assessed against the Leased Property
together with interest and penalties, if any, thereon will be paid, or (b)
deposit within the time otherwise required for payment with a bank or trust
company as trustee upon terms reasonably satisfactory to Lessor, as security for
the payment of such Claims, money in an amount sufficient to pay the same,
together with interest and penalties in connection therewith, as to all Claims
which may be assessed against or become a Claim on the Leased Property, or any
part thereof, in said legal proceedings. Lessee shall furnish Lessor and any
lender of Lessor with reasonable evidence of such deposit within five (5) days
of the same. Lessor agrees to join in any such proceedings if the same be
required legally to prosecute such contest of the validity of such Claims;
provided, however, that Lessor shall not thereby be subjected to any liability
or loss for the payment of any costs or expenses in connection with any
proceedings brought by Lessee; and

                                      38
<PAGE>

Lessee covenants to indemnify and save harmless Lessor from any such
liabilities, losses, costs or expenses. Lessee shall be entitled to any refund
of any Claims and such charges and penalties or interest thereon which have been
paid by Lessee or paid by Lessor and for which Lessor has been fully reimbursed.
In the event that Lessee fails to pay any Claims when due or to provide the
security therefor as provided in this Section and diligently to prosecute any
contest of the same, Lessor may, upon ten (10) days' advance Notice to Lessee,
and Lessee's failure to correct the same within such ten (10) day period, pay
such charges together with any interest and penalties and the same shall be
repayable by Lessee to Lessor as Additional Charges at the next Payment Date
provided for in this Lease; provided, however, that should Lessor reasonably
determine that the giving of such Notice would risk loss to the Leased Property
or cause damage to Lessor, then Lessor shall give such Notice as is practical
under the circumstances. Lessor reserves the right to contest any of the Claims
at its expense not pursued by Lessee. Lessor and Lessee agree to cooperate in
coordinating the contest of any Claims.

                             INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS

     13.1. General Insurance Requirements. During the Term of this Lease, Lessor
           ------------------------------
and Lessee shall at all times keep the Leased Property insured with the kinds
and amounts of insurance described below, or such other insurance coverage(s) as
may be required by the Franchise Agreement. This insurance shall be written by
companies authorized to issue insurance in the State. The policies must name
Lessor and/or Lessee, as applicable, as the insured or as an additional named
insured, as the case may be. Losses shall be payable to Lessor or Lessee as
provided in this Lease. Any loss adjustment shall require the written consent of
Lessor and Lessee, each acting reasonably and in good faith. Evidence of
insurance shall be deposited with Lessor. The policies on the Leased Property,
including the Leased Improvements, Fixtures and Lessee's Personal Property,
shall include the following:

           (a) Lessor shall obtain and maintain, at its own expense:

               (i)   Building insurance on the "Special Form" (formerly "All
           Risk" form) (including earthquake and flood in reasonable amounts as
           determined by Lessor) in an amount not less than 100% of the then
           full replacement cost thereof (as defined in Section 13.2) or such
           other amount which is acceptable to Lessor and Lessee, and personal
           property insurance (on other than Lessee's Personal Property) on the
           "Special Form" in the full amount of the replacement cost thereof;

               (ii)  Insurance for loss or damage (direct and indirect) from
           steam boilers, pressure vessels or similar apparatus, now or
           hereafter installed in the Hotel, in the minimum amount of $5,000,000
           or in such greater amounts as are then customary; and

               (iii) Loss of income insurance on the "Special Form", in the
           amount of one year of Base Rent and Additional Charges (to the extent
           quantifiable) for the benefit of Lessor.

                                      39
<PAGE>

           (b) Lessee shall obtain and maintain, at its own expense:

               (i)   Personal property insurance on Lessee's Personal Property
           on the "Special Form" in the full amount of the replacement cost
           thereof;

               (ii)  Comprehensive general liability insurance, with amounts not
           less than $10,000,000 covering each of the following: bodily injury,
           death, or property damage liability per occurrence, personal and
           advertising injury, general aggregate, products and completed
           operations, with respect to Lessor, and "all risk legal liability"
           (including liquor law or "dram shop" liability, if liquor or
           alcoholic beverages are served on the Leased Property) with respect
           to Lessor and Lessee;

               (iii) Insurance covering such other hazards and in such amounts
           as may be customary for comparable properties in the area of the
           Leased Property and is available from insurance companies, insurance
           pools or other appropriate companies authorized to do business in the
           State at rates which are economically practicable in relation to the
           risks covered, as may be reasonably requested by Lessor;

               (iv)  Fidelity bonds with limits and deductibles as may be
           reasonably requested by Lessor, covering Lessee's employees in job
           classifications normally bonded under prudent hotel management
           practices in the United States or otherwise required by law;

               (v)   Worker's compensation insurance coverage for all persons,
           if any, employed by Lessee on the Leased Premises, to the extent
           necessary to protect Lessor and the Leased Property against Lessee's
           worker's compensation claims, such worker's compensation insurance to
           be in accordance with the requirements of applicable local, state and
           federal law;

               (vi)  Vehicle liability insurance for owned, non-owned, and hired
           vehicles, in the amount of $5,000,000; and

               (vii) Such other insurance as Lessor may reasonably request for
           facilities such as the Leased Property and the operation thereof.

     13.2. Replacement Cost. The term "full replacement cost" as used herein
           ----------------
shall mean the actual replacement cost of the Leased Property requiring
replacement from time to time including an increased cost of construction
endorsement, if available, and the cost of debris removal. In the event either
party believes that full replacement cost (the then-replacement cost less such
exclusions) has increased or decreased at any time during the Lease Term, it
shall have the right to have such full replacement cost re-determined.

     13.3. Waiver of Subrogation. All insurance policies carried by Lessor or
           ---------------------
Lessee covering the Leased Property, the Fixtures, the Hotel or Lessee's
Personal Property, including, without limitation, contents, fire and casualty
insurance, shall expressly waive any right of subrogation on the part of the
insurer against the other party. The parties hereto agree that their policies
will

                                      40
<PAGE>

include such waiver clause or endorsement so long as the same are obtainable
without extra cost, and in the event of such an extra charge the other party, at
its election, may pay the same, but shall not be obligated to do so.

     13.4. Form Satisfactory, Etc.
           ----------------------

           (a) All of the policies of insurance referred to in this Article 13
to be maintained by Lessee shall be written in a form, with deductibles and by
insurance companies satisfactory to Lessor. Lessee shall pay all of the premiums
therefor, and deliver such policies or certificates thereof to Lessor prior to
their effective date (and, with respect to any renewal policy, thirty (30) days
prior to the expiration of the existing policy), and in the event of the failure
of Lessee either to effect such insurance as herein called for or to pay the
premiums therefor, or to deliver such policies or certificates thereof to Lessor
at the times required, Lessor shall be entitled, but shall have no obligation,
to effect such insurance and pay the premiums therefor, and Lessee shall
reimburse Lessor for any premium or premiums paid by Lessor for the coverages
required of Lessee under this Article 13 upon written demand therefor, and
Lessee's failure to repay the same within thirty (30) days after Notice of such
failure from Lessor shall constitute an Event of Default within the meaning of
Section 16.1. Each insurer mentioned in this Article 13 shall agree, by
endorsement to the policy or policies issued by it, or by independent instrument
furnished to Lessor, that it will give to Lessor thirty (30) days' written
notice before the policy or policies in question shall be materially altered,
allowed to expire or canceled.

           (b) All of the policies of insurance referred to in this Article 13
to be maintained by Lessor shall be written in a form, with deductibles and by
insurance companies satisfactory to Lessee. Lessor shall pay all of the premiums
therefor, and deliver such policies or certificates thereof to Lessee prior to
their effective date (and, with respect to any renewal policy, thirty (30) days
prior to the expiration of the existing policy), and in the event of the failure
of Lessor either to effect such insurance as herein called for or to pay the
premiums therefor, or to deliver such policies or certificates thereof to Lessee
at the times required, Lessee shall be entitled, but shall have no obligation,
to effect such insurance and pay the premiums therefor, and Lessor shall
reimburse Lessee for any premium or premiums paid by Lessee for the coverages
required under this Section upon written demand therefor. Each insurer mentioned
in this Article 13 shall agree, by endorsement to the policy or policies issued
by it, or by independent instrument furnished to Lessee, that it will give to
Lessee thirty (30) days' written notice before the policy or policies in
question shall be materially altered, allowed to expire or canceled.

     13.5. Increase in Limits. If either Lessor or Lessee at any time deems the
           ------------------
limits of the personal injury or property damage under the comprehensive public
liability insurance then carried to be either excessive or insufficient, Lessor
and Lessee shall endeavor in good faith to agree on the proper and reasonable
limits for such insurance to be carried and such insurance shall thereafter be
carried with the limits thus agreed on until further change pursuant to the
provisions of this Article 13.

     13.6. Blanket Policy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
           --------------
this Article 13. Lessee or Lessor may bring the insurance provided for herein
within the coverage of a so-called blanket policy or policies of insurance
carried and maintained by Lessee (or Manager) or

                                      41
<PAGE>

Lessor; provided, however, that the coverage afforded to Lessor and Lessee will
not be reduced or diminished or otherwise be different from that which would
exist under a separate policy meeting all other requirements of this Lease by
reason of the use of such blanket policy of insurance, and provided further that
the requirements of this Article 13 are otherwise satisfied.

     13.7. No Separate Insurance. Lessee shall not, on Lessee's own initiative
           ---------------------
or pursuant to the request or requirement of any third party, take out separate
insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that
required in this Article to be furnished, or increase the amount of any then
existing insurance by securing an additional policy or additional policies,
unless all parties having an insurable interest in the subject matter of the
insurance, including in all cases Lessor, are included therein as additional
insured, and the loss is payable under such additional separate insurance in the
same manner as losses are payable under this Lease. Lessee shall immediately
notify Lessor of any such separate insurance that Lessee has obtained or of the
increase of any of the amounts of the then existing insurance.

     13.8. Reports On Insurance Claims. Lessee shall promptly investigate and
           ---------------------------
make a complete and timely written report to the appropriate insurance company
as to all accidents, claims for damage relating to the ownership, operation, and
maintenance of the Hotel, any damage or destruction to the Hotel and the
estimated cost of repair thereof and shall prepare any and all reports required
by any insurance company in connection therewith. All such reports shall be
timely filed with the insurance company as required under the terms of the
insurance policy involved, and a final copy of such report shall be furnished to
Lessor. Lessee shall be authorized to adjust, settle, or compromise any
insurance loss, or to execute proofs of such loss, in the aggregate amount of
$25,000 or less, with respect to any single casualty or other event.

                   CASUALTY INSURANCE PROCEEDS; RECONSTRUCTION

     14.1. Insurance Proceeds. Subject to the provisions of Section 14.4, all
           ------------------
proceeds payable by reason of any loss or damage to the Leased Property, or any
portion thereof, insured under any policy of insurance required by Article 13 of
this Lease, shall be paid to Lessor and held in trust by Lessor in an
interest-bearing account, shall be made available, if applicable, for
reconstruction or repair, as the case may be, of any damage to or destruction of
the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, and, if applicable, shall be paid
out by Lessor from time to time for the reasonable costs of such reconstruction
or repair upon satisfaction of reasonable terms and conditions specified by
Lessor. Any excess proceeds of insurance (and accrued interest) remaining after
the completion of the restoration or reconstruction of the Leased Property, as
hereinafter set forth, shall be paid to Lessee. If neither Lessor nor Lessee is
required or elects to repair and restore, and the Lease is terminated without
purchase by Lessee as described in Section 14.2, all such insurance proceeds
shall be retained by Lessor. All salvage resulting from any risk covered by
insurance shall belong to Lessor.

     14.2. Reconstruction in the Event of Damage or Destruction Covered by
           ---------------------------------------------------------------
           Insurance.
           ---------

           (a) Except as provided in Section 14.6, if during the Term the Leased
Property is totally or partially destroyed by a risk covered by the insurance
described in Article 13 and the

                                      42
<PAGE>

Hotel thereby is rendered Unsuitable for its Primary Intended Use, Lessee shall,
at Lessee's option, either (1) restore the Hotel to substantially the same
condition as existed immediately before the damage or destruction and otherwise
in accordance with the terms of the Lease, or (2) offer to acquire the Leased
Property from Lessor for a purchase price equal to the Rejectable Offer Price of
the Leased Property. If Lessee restores the Hotel, the insurance proceeds shall
be paid out by Lessor from time to time for the reasonable costs of such
restoration upon satisfaction of reasonable terms and conditions, and any excess
proceeds remaining after such restoration shall be paid to Lessee. If Lessee
acquires the Leased Property, Lessee shall receive the insurance proceeds. If
Lessor does not accept Lessee's offer so to purchase the Leased Property within
ninety (90) days, Lessee may withdraw its offer to purchase the Leased Property
and, if so withdrawn, Lessee may terminate the Lease with respect to the Leased
Property without further liability hereunder and Lessor shall be entitled to
retain all insurance proceeds.

          (b) Except as provided in Section 14.6, if during the Term the Leased
Property is partially destroyed by a risk covered by the insurance described in
Article 13, but the Hotel is not thereby rendered Unsuitable for its Primary
Intended Use, Lessee shall restore the Hotel to substantially the same condition
as existed immediately before the damage or destruction and otherwise in
accordance with the terms of the Lease. Such damage or destruction shall not
terminate this Lease; provided, however, that if Lessee cannot within a
reasonable time obtain all necessary government approvals, including building
permits, licenses and conditional use permits, after diligent efforts to do so,
to perform all required repair and restoration work and to operate the Hotel for
its Primary Intended Use in substantially the same manner as that existing
immediately prior to such damage or destruction and otherwise in accordance with
the terms of the Lease, Lessee may offer to purchase the Leased Property for a
purchase price equal to the Rejectable Offer Price of the Leased Property,
determined without regard to such damage or destruction if insurance proceeds
are available to restore the Hotel. If Lessee makes such offer and Lessor does
not accept the same, Lessee shall withdraw such offer, in which event this Lease
shall remain in full force and effect and Lessee shall immediately proceed to
restore the Hotel to substantially the same condition as existed immediately
before such damage or destruction and otherwise in accordance with the terms of
the Lease. If Lessee restores the Hotel, the insurance proceeds shall be paid
out by Lessor from time to time for the reasonable costs of such restoration
upon satisfaction of reasonable terms and conditions specified by Lessor, and
any excess proceeds remaining after such restoration shall be paid to Lessee.

          (c) If the cost of the repair or restoration exceeds the amount of
proceeds received by Lessor from the insurance it maintains as required under
Article 13, Lessee shall be obligated to contribute any excess amounts needed to
restore the Hotel. Such difference shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor promptly
after Lessee receives Lessor's written invoice therefor, to be held in trust in
an interest-bearing account, together with any other insurance proceeds, for
application to the cost of repair and restoration.

          (d) If Lessor accepts Lessee's offer to purchase the Leased Property
under this Article, this Lease shall terminate as to the Leased Property upon
payment of the purchase price, and Lessor shall remit to Lessee all insurance
proceeds pertaining to the Leased Property being held in trust by Lessor.

<PAGE>

     14.3. Reconstruction in the Event of Damage or Destruction Not Covered by
           -------------------------------------------------------------------
Insurance. Except as provided in Section 14.6, if during the Term the Hotel is
totally or materially destroyed by a risk not covered by the insurance described
in Article 13, whether or not such damage or destruction renders the Hotel
Unsuitable for its Primary Intended Use, Lessee at its option shall either, (a)
at Lessee's sole cost and expense, restore the Hotel to substantially the same
condition it was in immediately before such damage or destruction and such
damage or destruction shall not terminate this Lease, or (b) offer to purchase
the Leased Property for a purchase price equal to the Rejectable Offer Price of
the Leased Property without regard to such damage or destruction. If such damage
or destruction is not material, Lessee shall restore the Hotel to substantially
the same condition as existed immediately before the damage or destruction and
otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Lease. If Lessor does not accept
Lessee's offer so to purchase the Leased Property within ninety (90) days,
Lessee may withdraw its offer to purchase the Leased Property and, if so
withdrawn, Lessee may terminate the Lease with respect to the Leased Property
without further liability hereunder.

     14.4. Lessee's Property. All insurance proceeds payable by reason of any
           -----------------
loss of or damage to any of Lessee's Personal Property shall be paid to Lessee;
provided, however, no such payments shall diminish or reduce the insurance
payments otherwise payable to or for the benefit of Lessor hereunder.

     14.5. Abatement of Rent. Any damage or destruction due to casualty
           -----------------
notwithstanding, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect and Lessee's
obligation to make rental payments and to pay all other charges required by this
Lease shall remain unabated during the first three (3) months of any period
required for the applicable repair and restoration. Thereafter, Base Rent shall
be equitably abated.

     14.6. Damage Near End of Term. Notwithstanding any provisions of Section
           -----------------------
14.2 or 14.3 appearing to the contrary, if damage to or destruction of the Hotel
rendering it unsuitable for its Primary Intended Use occurs during the last
twenty-four (24) months of the Term, then Lessor or Lessee shall have the right
to terminate this Lease by giving Notice, respectively, to Lessee or Lessor
within thirty (30) days after the date of damage or destruction, whereupon all
accrued Rent shall be paid immediately, and this Lease shall automatically
terminate five (5) days after the date of such Notice.

     14.7. Waiver. Lessee hereby waives any statutory rights of termination that
           ------
may arise by reason of any damage or destruction of the Hotel that Lessor is
obligated to restore or may restore under any of the provisions of this Lease.

                         CONDEMNATION; AWARD ALLOCATION

     15.1. Definitions.
           ------------

           (a) "Award" means all compensation, sums or anything of value
awarded, paid or received on a total or partial Condemnation.

                                      44
<PAGE>

           (b) "Condemnation" means a Taking resulting from (1) the exercise of
any governmental power, whether by legal proceedings or otherwise, by a
Condemnor, and (2) a voluntary sale or transfer by Lessor to any Condemnor,
either under threat of condemnation or while legal proceedings for condemnation
are pending.

           (c) "Condemnor" means any public or quasi-public authority, or
private corporation or individual, having the power of Condemnation.

           (d) "Date of Taking" means the date the Condemnor has the right to
possession of the property being condemned.

     15.2. Parties' Rights and Obligations. If during the Term there is any
           -------------------------------
Condemnation of all or any part of the Leased Property or any interest in this
Lease, the rights and obligations of Lessor and Lessee shall be determined by
this Article 15.

     15.3. Total Taking If title to the fee of the whole of the Leased Property
           ------------
is condemned by any Condemnor, this Lease shall cease and terminate as of the
Date of Taking by the Condemnor. If title to the fee of less than the whole of
the Leased Property is so taken or condemned, which nevertheless renders the
Leased Property Unsuitable or Uneconomic for its Primary Intended Use, Lessee
and Lessor shall each have the option, by Notice to the other, at any time prior
to the Date of Taking, to terminate this Lease as of the Date of Taking. Upon
such date, if such Notice has been given, this Lease shall thereupon cease and
terminate. All Base Rent, Percentage Rent and Additional Charges paid or payable
by Lessee hereunder shall be apportioned as of the Date of Taking, and Lessee
shall promptly pay Lessor such amounts.

     15.4. Allocation of Award. The total Award made with respect to the Leased
           -------------------
Property or for loss of rent, or for Lessor's loss of business beyond the Term,
shall be solely the property of and payable to Lessor. Any Award made for loss
of Lessee's business during the remaining Term, if any, for the taking of
Lessee's Personal Property, or for removal and relocation expenses of Lessee in
any such proceedings shall be the sole property of and payable to Lessee. In any
Condemnation proceedings Lessor and Lessee shall each seek its Award in
conformity herewith, at its respective expense; provided, however, Lessee shall
not initiate, prosecute or acquiesce in any proceedings that may result in a
diminution of any Award payable to Lessor.

     15.5. Partial Taking. If title to less than the whole of the Leased
           --------------
Property is condemned, and the Leased Property is not Unsuitable for its Primary
Intended Use, and not Uneconomic for its Primary Intended Use, or if Lessee or
Lessor is entitled but neither elects to terminate this Lease as provided in
Section 15.3, Lessee at its cost shall with all reasonable dispatch restore the
untaken portion of any Leased Improvements so that such Leased Improvements
constitute a complete architectural unit of the same general character and
condition (as nearly as may be possible under the circumstances) as the Leased
Improvements existing immediately prior to the Condemnation. Lessor shall
contribute to the cost of restoration that part of its Award specifically
allocated to such restoration, if any, together with severance and other damages
awarded for the taken Leased Improvements; provided, however, that the amount of
such contribution shall not exceed such cost. In the event of such a partial
Taking, this Lease shall not terminate, but the Base Rent shall be abated in the
manner and to the extent that is fair, just and equitable to both Lessee and
Lessor,

                                      45
<PAGE>

taking into consideration, among other relevant factors, the number of usable
rooms, the amount of square footage, or the revenues affected by such partial
Taking. If Lessor and Lessee are unable to agree upon the amount of such
abatement within thirty (30) days after such partial Taking, the matter may be
submitted by either party to a court of competent jurisdiction for resolution.

     15.6. Temporary Taking. If the whole or any part of the Leased Property
           ----------------
(other than the fee) or of Lessee's interest under this Lease is condemned by
any Condemnor for its temporary use or occupancy (which shall mean a period not
to exceed two years), this Lease shall not terminate by reason thereof, and
Lessee shall continue to pay, in the manner and at the terms herein specified,
the full amounts of Base Rent and Additional Charges. In addition, Lessee shall
pay Percentage Rent at a rate equal to the average Percentage Rent during the
last three (3) preceding Fiscal Years (or if three (3) Fiscal Years shall not
have elapsed, the average during the preceding Fiscal Years). Except only to the
extent that Lessee may be prevented from so doing pursuant to the terms of the
order of the Condemnor, Lessee shall continue to perform and observe all of the
other terms, covenants, conditions and obligations hereof on the part of Lessee
to be performed and observed, as though such Condemnation had not occurred. In
the event of any Condemnation as in this Section 15.6 described, the entire
amount of any Award made for such Condemnation allocable to the Term of this
Lease, whether paid by way of damages, rent or otherwise, shall be paid to
Lessee. Lessee covenants that upon the termination of any such period of
temporary use or occupancy it will, at its sole cost and expense (subject to
Lessor's contribution as set forth below), restore the Leased Property as nearly
as may be reasonably possible to the condition in which the same was immediately
prior to such Condemnation, unless such period of temporary use or occupancy
extends beyond the expiration of the Term, in which case Lessee shall not be
required to make such restoration. If restoration is required hereunder, Lessor
shall contribute to the cost of such restoration that portion of its entire
Award that is specifically allocated to such restoration in the judgment or
order of the court, if any, and Lessee shall fund the balance of such costs in a
manner reasonably satisfactory to Lessor.

(individually, an "Event of Default") occurs:

           (a) if an Event of Default occurs under any other lease between
Lessor or any Affiliate of Lessor and Lessee or any Affiliate of Lessee; or

           (b) if Lessee fails to make payment of the Base Rent within ten (10)
days after the same becomes due and payable; or

           (c) if Lessee fails to make payment of Percentage Rent when the same
becomes due and payable and such condition continues for a period of thirty (30)
days after the end of the applicable quarter; or

           (d) if Lessee fails to observe or perform any other term, covenant or
condition of this Lease and such failure is not cured by Lessee within a period
of thirty (30) days after receipt by

                                      46
<PAGE>

Lessee of Notice thereof from Lessor, unless such failure cannot with due
diligence be cured within a period of thirty (30) days, in which case it shall
not be deemed an Event of Default if Lessee proceeds promptly and with due
diligence to cure the failure and diligently completes the curing thereof
provided, however, in no event shall such cure period extend beyond ninety (90)
days after such Notice; or

          (e) if Lessee shall file a petition in bankruptcy or reorganization
for an arrangement pursuant to any federal or state bankruptcy law or any
similar federal or state law, or shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or shall make
an assignment for the benefit of creditors or shall admit in writing its
inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or if a petition or
answer proposing the adjudication of Lessee as a bankrupt or its reorganization
pursuant to any federal or state bankruptcy law or any similar federal or state
law shall be filed in any court and Lessee shall be adjudicated a bankrupt and
such adjudication shall not be vacated or set aside or stayed within sixty (60)
days after the entry of an order in respect thereof, or if a receiver of Lessee
or of the whole or substantially all of the assets of Lessee shall be appointed
in any proceeding brought by Lessee or if any such receiver, trustee or
liquidator shall be appointed in any proceeding brought against Lessee and shall
not be vacated or set aside or stayed within sixty (60) days after such
appointment; or

          (f) if Lessee is liquidated or dissolved, or begins proceedings toward
such liquidation or dissolution, or, in any manner, permits the sale or
divestiture of substantially all of its assets; or

          (g) if, except as expressly permitted herein, the estate or interest
of Lessee in the Leased Property or any part thereof is voluntarily or
involuntarily transferred, assigned, conveyed, levied upon or attached in any
proceeding (unless Lessee is contesting such lien or attachment in good faith in
accordance with Section 12.2 hereof) or there is a Change of Control of Lessee;
or

          (h) if, except as a result of damage, destruction or a partial or
complete Condemnation as contemplated by this Lease, Lessee voluntarily ceases
operations on the Leased Property for a period in excess of thirty (30) days; or

          (i) if an event of default has been declared by the franchisor under
the Franchise Agreement with respect to the Hotel as a result of any action or
failure to act by Lessee or any Person with whom Lessee contracts for management
services at the Hotel, and such default is not cured by the earlier of (A) ten
(10) days following notice from Lessor or (B) such earlier date as is required
for Lessee to avoid termination of the Franchise Agreement by the franchisor;

then, and in any such event, Lessor may exercise one or more remedies available
to it herein or at law or in equity, including but not limited to its right to
terminate this Lease by giving Lessee not less than ten (10) days' Notice of
such termination.

          If litigation is commenced with respect to any alleged default under
this Lease, the prevailing party in such litigation shall receive, in addition
to its damages incurred, such sum as the court shall determine as its reasonable
attorneys' fees, and all costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith.

                                      47
<PAGE>

           No Event of Default (other than a failure to make a payment of money)
shall be deemed to exist under clause (d) during any time the curing thereof is
prevented by an Unavoidable Delay, provided that upon the cessation of such
Unavoidable Delay, Lessee remedies such default or Event of Default without
further delay.

     16.2. Surrender. If an Event of Default occurs (and the event giving rise
           ---------
to such Event of Default has not been cured within the curative period relating
thereto as set forth in Section 16.1) and is continuing, whether or not this
Lease has been terminated pursuant to Section 16.1, Lessee shall, if requested
by Lessor so to do, immediately surrender to Lessor the Leased Property
including, without limitation, any and all books, records, files, licenses,
permits and keys relating thereto, and quit the same and Lessor may enter upon
and repossess the Leased Property by summary proceedings, ejectment or
otherwise, and may remove Lessee and all other Persons and any and all personal
property from the Leased Property, subject to rights of any hotel guests and to
any requirement of law. Lessee hereby waives any and all requirements of
applicable laws for service of notice to re-enter the Leased Property. Lessor
shall be under no obligation to, but may if it so chooses, relet the Leased
Property or otherwise mitigate Lessor's damages.

     16.3. Damages. Neither (a) the termination of this Lease, (b) the
           -------
repossession of the Leased Property, (c) the failure of Lessor to relet the
Leased Property, nor (d) the reletting of all or any portion thereof, shall
relieve Lessee of its liability and obligations hereunder, all of which shall
survive any such termination, repossession or reletting. In the event of any
such termination, Lessee shall forthwith pay to Lessor all Rent due and payable
with respect to the Leased Property to and including the date of such
termination.

           Lessee shall forthwith pay to Lessor, at Lessor's option, as and for
liquidated and agreed current damages for Lessee's default, either:

                (i)   Without termination of Lessee's right to possession of the
           Leased Property, each installment of Rent (including Percentage Rent
           as determined below) and other sums payable by Lessee to Lessor under
           the Lease as the same becomes due and payable, which Rent and other
           sums shall bear interest at the Overdue Rate, and Lessor may enforce,
           by action or otherwise, any other term or covenant of this Lease; or

                (ii)  the sum of:

                      (A) the unpaid Rent which had been earned at the time of
           termination, repossession or reletting, and

                      (B) the worth at the time of termination, repossession or
           reletting of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of
           the Term after the time of termination, repossession or reletting,
           exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Lessee proves could be
           reasonably avoided and as reduced for rentals received after the time
           of termination, repossession or reletting, if and to the extent
           required by applicable law, and

                                      48
<PAGE>

                       (C) any other amount necessary to compensate Lessor for
           all the detriment proximately caused by Lessee's failure to perform
           its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of
           things, would be likely to result therefrom.

           The worth at the time of termination, repossession or reletting of
the amount referred to in subparagraph (B) is computed by discounting such
amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York at the time
of award plus one percent (1%). Percentage Rent for the purposes of this Section
16.3 shall be a sum equal to (i) the average of the annual amounts of the
Percentage Rent for the three (3) Fiscal Years immediately preceding the Fiscal
Year in which the termination, re-entry or repossession takes place, or (ii) if
three (3) Fiscal Years shall not have elapsed, the average of the Percentage
Rent during the preceding Fiscal Years during which the Lease was in effect, or
(iii) if one Fiscal Year has not elapsed, the amount derived by annualizing the
Percentage Rent from the effective date of this Lease.

     16.4. Waiver. If this Lease is terminated pursuant to Section 16.1, Lessee
           ------
waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) any right to a trial by
jury in the event of summary proceedings to enforce the remedies set forth in
this Article 16, and (b) the benefit of any laws now or hereafter in force
exempting property from liability for rent or for debt and Lessor waives any
right to "pierce the corporate veil" of Lessee other than to the extent funds
shall have been fraudulently paid by Lessee to any Affiliate of Lessee following
a default resulting in an Event of Default.

     16.5. Application of Funds. Any payments received by Lessor under any of
           --------------------
the provisions of this Lease during the existence or continuance of any Event of
Default shall be applied to Lessee's obligations in the order that Lessor may
determine or as may be prescribed by the laws of the State.

     16.6. Lessor's Right to Cure Lessee's Default. If Lessee fails to make any
           ---------------------------------------
payment or to perform any act required to be made or performed under this Lease,
including, without limitation, Lessee's failure to comply with the terms of any
Franchise Agreement, and fails to cure the same within the relevant time periods
provided in Section 16.1, Lessor, without waiving or releasing any obligation of
Lessee, and without waiving or releasing any obligation or default, may (but
shall be under no obligation to) at any time thereafter make such payment or
perform such act for the account and at the expense of Lessee, and may, to the
extent permitted by law, enter upon the Leased Property for such purpose and,
subject to Section 16.4, take all such action thereon as, in Lessor's opinion,
may be necessary or appropriate therefor. No such entry shall be deemed an
eviction of Lessee. All sums so paid by Lessor and all costs and expenses
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, in each
case to the extent permitted by law) so incurred, together with a late charge
thereon (to the extent permitted by law) at the Overdue Rate from the date on
which such sums or expenses are paid or incurred by Lessors, shall be paid by
Lessee to Lessor on demand. The obligations of Lessee and rights of Lessor
contained in this Article shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease.

                     DEFAULT BY LESSOR; LESSEE'S REMEDIES

     17.1. Breach by Lessor. It shall be a breach of this Lease if Lessor fails
           ----------------
to observe or perform any term, covenant or condition of this Lease on its part
to be performed and such failure continues for a period of thirty (30) days
after Notice thereof from Lessee, unless such failure cannot with due diligence
be cured within a period of thirty (30) days, in which case such failure shall
not be deemed to continue if Lessor, within such thirty (30) day period,
proceeds promptly and with due diligence to cure the failure and diligently
completes the curing thereof; provided, however, that such default shall be
cured by Lessor in any event prior to the date on which the default becomes an
event of default under the terms of the Franchise Agreement for the Hotel. The
time within which Lessor shall be obligated to cure any such failure also shall
be subject to extension of time due to the occurrence of any Unavoidable Delay.
If Lessor fails to cure any such breach within the grace period described above,
Lessee, without waiving or releasing any obligations hereunder, and in addition
to all other remedies available to Lessee at law or in equity, may purchase the
Leased Property from Lessor for a purchase price equal to the then Fair Market
Value. If Lessee elects to purchase the Leased Property it shall deliver a
Notice thereof to Lessor specifying a settlement date to occur not less than
ninety (90) days subsequent to the date of such Notice on which it shall
purchase the Leased Property, and the same shall be thereupon conveyed in
accordance with the provisions of Section 17.3; provided, however, that Lessor
shall pay the cost of Lessee's title insurance and all closing costs associated
with such purchase by Lessee following default by Lessor.

     17.2. Lessee's Right to Cure. Subject to the provisions of Section 17.1, if
           ----------------------
Lessor breaches any covenant to be performed by it under this Lease, Lessee,
after Notice to and demand upon Lessor, without waiving or releasing any
obligation hereunder, and in addition to all other remedies available to Lessee,
may (but shall be under no obligation at any time thereafter to) make such
payment or perform such act for the account and at the expense of Lessor. All
sums so paid by Lessee and all costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) so incurred, together with interest
thereon at the Overdue Rate from the date on which such sums or expenses are
paid or incurred by Lessee, shall be paid by Lessor to Lessee on demand or,
following entry of a final, nonappealable judgment against Lessor for such sums,
may be offset by Lessee against the Base Rent and/or Percentage Rent payments
next accruing or coming due. The rights of Lessee hereunder to cure and to
secure payment from Lessor in accordance with this Section 17.2 shall survive
the termination of this Lease with respect to the Leased Property.

     17.3. Provisions Relating to Purchase of the Leased Property by Lessee. If
           ----------------------------------------------------------------
Lessee purchases the Leased Property from Lessor pursuant to any of the terms of
this Lease, Lessor shall, upon receipt from Lessee of the applicable purchase
price, together with full payment of any unpaid Rent due and payable with
respect to any period ending on or before the date of the purchase, deliver to
Lessee an appropriate limited or special warranty deed or other conveyance
conveying the entire interest of Lessor in and to the Leased Property to Lessee
free and clear of all encumbrances other than (a) those that Lessee has agreed
hereunder to pay or discharge, (b) those mortgage liens, if any, that Lessee has
agreed in writing to accept and to take title subject to, (c) those liens and
encumbrances subject to which the Leased Property was conveyed to Lessor, to the

                                      50

extent not released in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Lease, (d) encumbrances, easements, licenses or rights of way required to be
imposed on the Leased Property under Section 7.3, and (e) any other encumbrances
permitted to be imposed on the Leased Property under the provisions of Article
22 that are assumable at no cost to Lessee or to which Lessee may take subject
without cost to Lessee. The difference between the applicable purchase price and
the total of the encumbrances assumed or taken subject to shall be paid in cash
to Lessor or as Lessor may direct, in federal or other immediately available
funds, except as otherwise mutually agreed by Lessor and Lessee. All expenses of
such conveyance, including, without limitation, the cost of title examination or
title insurance, if desired by Lessee, Lessee's attorneys' fees incurred in
connection with such conveyance and release, and one-half of any transfer taxes
and recording fees, shall be paid by Lessee. Lessor shall pay one-half of any
transfer taxes and recording fees and its attorney's fees.

     18.1. Indemnification.
           ---------------

           (a) Notwithstanding the existence of any insurance, and without
regard to the policy limits of any such insurance or self-insurance, but subject
to Section 13.3 and Section 8.3, Lessee will protect, indemnify, hold harmless
and defend Lessor from and against all liabilities, losses, obligations, claims,
damages, penalties, causes of action, costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses), to the extent permitted by
law, imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against Lessor Indemnified Parties
by reason of: (a) any accident, injury to or death of persons or loss of or
damage to property occurring on or about the Leased Property or adjoining
sidewalks, including without limitation any claims under liquor liability, "dram
shop" or similar laws, (b) any use, misuse, non-use, condition, management,
maintenance or repair by Lessee or any of its agents, employees or invitees of
the Leased Property or Lessee's Personal Property during the Term or any
litigation, proceeding or claim by governmental entities or other third parties
to which a Lessor Indemnified Party is made a party or participant related to
such use, misuse, non-use, condition, management, maintenance, or repair thereof
by Lessee or any of its agents, employees or invitees, including any failure of
lessee or any of its agents, employees or invitees to perform any obligations
under this Lease or imposed by applicable law (other than arising out of
Condemnation proceedings), (c) any Impositions that are the obligations of
Lessee pursuant to the applicable provisions of this Lease, (d) any failure on
the part of Lessee to perform or comply with any of the terms of this Lease, and
(e) the non-performance of any of the terms and provisions of any and all
existing and future subleases of the Leased Property to be performed by the
landlord thereunder.

           (b) Notwithstanding the existence of any insurance, and without
regard to the policy limits of any such insurance or self-insurance, but subject
to Section 13.3 and Section 8.3, Lessor shall indemnify, save harmless and
defend Lessee Indemnified Parties from and against all liabilities, obligations,
claims, damages, penalties, causes of action, costs and expenses imposed upon or
incurred by or asserted against Lessee Indemnified Parties as a result of (a)
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor arising in connection with
this Lease or (b) any failure

                                      51
<PAGE>

on the part of Lessor to perform or comply with any of the terms of this Lease.
Any amounts that become payable by an Indemnifying Party under this Section
shall be paid within ten (10) days after liability therefor on the part of the
Indemnifying Party is determined by litigation or otherwise, and if not timely
paid, shall bear a late charge (to the extent permitted by law) at the Overdue
Rate from the date of such determination to the date of payment. An Indemnifying
Party, at its expense, shall contest, resist and defend any such claim, action
or proceeding asserted or instituted against the Indemnified Party. The
Indemnified Party, at its expense, shall be entitled to participate in any such
claim, action, or proceeding, and the Indemnifying Party may not compromise or
otherwise dispose of the same without the consent of the Indemnified Party,
which may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Nothing herein shall be
construed as indemnifying a Lessor Indemnified Party against its own (or
Lessor's) grossly negligent acts or omissions or willful misconduct.

           (c) Lessee's or Lessor's liability for a breach of the provisions of
this Article shall survive any termination of this Lease.

                      REIT REQUIREMENTS AND RESTRICTIONS

     19.1. Personal Property Limitation. Anything contained in this Lease to the
           ----------------------------
contrary notwithstanding, the average of the adjusted tax bases of the items of
personal property that are leased to Lessee under this Lease at the beginning
and at the end of any Fiscal Year shall not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the
average of the aggregate adjusted tax bases of the Leased Property at the
beginning and at the end of such Fiscal Year. This Section 19.1 is intended to
ensure that the Rent qualifies as "rents from real property," within the meaning
of Section 856(d) of the Code, or any similar or successor provisions thereto,
and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with such intent.

     19.2. Sublease Rent Limitation. Anything contained in this Lease to the
           ------------------------
contrary notwithstanding, Lessee shall not sublet the Leased Property on any
basis such that the rental to be paid by the sublessee thereunder would be
based, in whole or in part, on either (a) the income or profits derived by the
business activities of the sublessee, or (b) any other formula such that any
portion of the Rent would fail to qualify as "rents from real property" within
the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Code, or any similar or successor provision
thereto.

     19.3. Sublease Tenant Limitation. Anything contained in this Lease to the
           --------------------------
contrary notwithstanding, Lessee shall not sublease the Leased Property to any
Person in which Lessor owns, directly or indirectly, a ten percent (10%) or more
interest, within the meaning of Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code, or any similar
or successor provisions thereto.

     19.4. Lessee Ownership Limitations.
           ----------------------------

           (a) Anything contained in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding,
neither Lessee nor an Affiliate of Lessee shall acquire, directly or indirectly,
a ten percent (10%) or more interest

                                      52
<PAGE>

in Lessor within the meaning of Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code, or any similar
or successor provision thereto.

           (b) Lessee shall not own, operate, manage or have any interest in any
hotel or motel property in which Lessor or an Affiliate of Lessor does not have
an interest, pursuant to this Lease or another lease, agreement or arrangement
with Lessor or an Affiliate of Lessor. Lessor agrees to notify Lessee promptly
of the location of any hotel or motel property in which Lessor or an Affiliate
of Lessor has an interest.

     19.5. Lessee Officer and Employee Limitation. If a Person serves as both
           --------------------------------------
(a) a director of Lessee (or any Person who furnishes or renders services to the
tenants of the Leased Property, or manages or operates the Leased Property) and
(b) an officer (or employee) of the Lessor that Person shall not receive any
compensation for serving as a director of Lessee (or any Person who furnishes or
renders services to the tenants of the Leased Property, or manages or operates
the Leased Property). Furthermore, if a Person serves as both (a) a director of
the Lessor and (b) an officer (or employee) of Lessee (or any Person who
furnishes or renders services to the tenants of the Leased Property, or manages
or operates the Leased Property), that Person shall not receive any compensation
for serving as a director of the Lessor. No Person, other than Glade M. Knight,
shall serve as an officer (or employee) of both Lessor and Lessee.

     19.6. Payments to Affiliates of Lessee. During the Term, Lessee shall not
           --------------------------------
pay, or become obligated to pay, any fees to any Affiliate of Lessee in
connection with the Hotel, other than fees that are subordinated to the payments
that are required to be made to Lessor pursuant to this Lease.

                           SUBLETTING AND ASSIGNMENT

     20.1. Subletting and Assignment. Subject to the provisions of Article 19
           -------------------------
and Section 20.2 and any other express conditions or limitations set forth
herein, Lessee may, but only with the consent of Lessor (which shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed), (a) assign this Lease or sublet all or any
part of the Leased Property to an Affiliate of Lessee, or (b) sublet any retail
or restaurant portion of the Leased Improvements in the normal course of the
Primary Intended Use; provided that any subletting to any party other than an
Affiliate of Lessee shall not individually as to any one such subletting, or in
the aggregate, materially diminish the actual or potential Percentage Rent
payable under this Lease. In the case of a subletting, the sublessee shall
comply with the provisions of Section 20.2, and in the case of an assignment,
the assignee shall assume in writing and agree to keep and perform all of the
terms of this Lease on the part of Lessee to be kept and performed and shall be,
and become, jointly and severally liable with Lessee for the performance
thereof. Notwithstanding the above, Lessee may assign the Lease to an Affiliate
without the consent of Lessor; provided that any such assignee assumes in
writing and agrees to keep and perform all of the terms of the Lease on the part
of Lessee to be kept and performed and shall be and become jointly and severally
liable with Lessee for the performance thereof. In case of either an assignment
or subletting made during the Term, Lessee shall remain primarily liable, as
principal rather than as surety, for the prompt payment of the Rent and for the
performance and observance of all of the covenants and conditions to be
performed by Lessee hereunder. An

                                      53

original counterpart of each such sublease and assignment and assumption, duly
executed by Lessee and such sublessee or assignee, as the case may be, in form
and substance satisfactory to Lessor, shall be delivered promptly to Lessor.

     20.2. Attornment. Lessee shall insert in each sublease permitted under
           ----------
Section 20.1 provisions to the effect that (a) such sublease is subject and
subordinate to all of the terms and provisions of this Lease and to the rights
of Lessor hereunder, (b) if this Lease terminates before the expiration of such
sublease, the sublessee thereunder will, at Lessor's option, attorn to Lessor
and waive any right the sublessee may have to terminate the sublease or to
surrender possession thereunder as a result of the termination of this Lease,
and (c) if the sublessee receives a Notice from Lessor or Lessor's assignees, if
any, stating that an uncured Event of Default exists under this Lease, the
sublessee shall thereafter be obligated to pay all rentals accruing under said
sublease directly to the party giving such Notice, or as such party may direct.
All rentals received from the sublessee by Lessor or Lessor's assignees, if any,
as the case may be, shall be credited against the amounts owing by Lessee under
this Lease.

     20.3. Conveyance by Lessor. Lessor may assign this Lease to any purchaser
           --------------------
of the Leased Property. If Lessor or any successor owner of the Leased Property
conveys the Leased Property in accordance with the terms hereof other than as
security for a debt, and the grantee or transferee of the Leased Property
expressly assumes all obligations of Lessor hereunder arising or accruing from
and after the date of such conveyance or transfer, Lessor or such successor
owner, as the case may be, shall thereupon be released from all future
liabilities and obligations of Lessor under this Lease arising or accruing from
and after the date of such conveyance or other transfer as to the Leased
Property and all such future liabilities and obligations shall thereupon be
binding upon the new owner.

by, through or under Lessor, but subject to all liens and encumbrances subject
to which the Leased Property was conveyed to Lessor, to the extent not released
in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Lease, or hereafter
consented to by Lessee or provided for herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Lessee shall have the right by separate and independent action to pursue any
claim it may have against Lessor as a result of a breach by Lessor of the
covenant of quiet enjoyment contained in this Section.

     21.2. Risk of Loss. During the Term, the risk of loss or of decrease in the

enjoyment and beneficial use of the Leased Property in consequence of the damage
or destruction thereof by fire, the elements, casualties, thefts, riots, wars or
otherwise, or in consequence of foreclosures, attachments, levies or executions

Lessor) is assumed by Lessee, and, in the absence of gross negligence, willful

shall in no event be answerable or accountable therefor, nor shall any of the

as specifically provided in this Lease.

                   LESSOR MORTGAGES; SUBORDINATION OF LEASE

     22.1.  Lessor May Grant Liens. Without the consent of Lessee, Lessor may,
            ----------------------
subject to the terms and conditions set forth below in this Section 22.1, from
time to time, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause to exist any
lien, encumbrance or title retention agreement ("Encumbrance") upon the Leased
Property, or any portion thereof or interest therein, whether to secure any
borrowing or other means of financing or refinancing. Upon the request of
Lessor, Lessee shall subordinate this Lease to the lien of a new mortgage on the
Leased Property, on the condition that the proposed mortgagee executes a non-
disturbance agreement recognizing this Lease in accordance with the provisions
of Section 22.2, and agreeing, for itself and its successors and assigns, to
comply with the provisions of this Article 22.

     22.2.  Subordination of Lease. This Lease and Lessee's interest hereunder
            ----------------------
shall at all times be subject and subordinate to the lien and security title of
any deeds to secure debt, deeds of trust, mortgages, or other Encumbrances
heretofore or hereafter granted by Lessor or which otherwise encumber or affect
the Leased Property and to any and all advances to be made thereunder and to all
renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements, substitutions, and
extensions thereof (all of which are herein called the "Mortgage"); provided,
however, that with respect to any Mortgage hereafter granted, such subordination
is conditioned upon delivery to Lessee of a non-disturbance agreement which
provides that Lessee shall not be disturbed in its possession of the Leased
Property hereunder following a foreclosure of such Mortgage (or delivery of a
deed-in-lieu-of-foreclosure) and that the holder of such Mortgage or the
purchaser at a foreclosure sale (or grantee under such deed-in-lieu-of-
foreclosure) shall perform all obligations of Lessor under this Lease. In
confirmation of such subordination, however, Lessee shall, at Lessor's request,
promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver any instrument which may be required
to evidence subordination to any Mortgage and to the holder thereof. In the
event of Lessee's failure to deliver such subordination and if the Mortgage does
not change any term of the Lease, Lessor may, in addition to any other remedies
for breach of covenant hereunder, execute, acknowledge, and deliver the
instrument as the agent or attorney-in- fact of Lessee, and Lessee hereby
irrevocably constitutes Lessor its attorney- in-fact for such purpose, Lessee
acknowledging that the appointment is coupled with an interest and is
irrevocable.

certifying that this Lease is

any prospective purchaser of the Leased Property.

          (b) Lessee will furnish the following statements to Lessor:

               (i)   with reasonable promptness, such information respecting the
          financial condition and affairs of Lessee including audited financial

Lessee will permit the inclusion of such statements in any filings required to

Act of 1934.

          (c) At any time and from time to time upon not less than ten (10) days
Notice by Lessee, Lessor will furnish to Lessee or to any Person designated by
Lessee an estoppel certificate certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in
full force and effect (or that this Lease is in full force and effect as
modified and setting forth the modifications), the date to which Rent has been
paid, whether to the knowledge of Lessor there is any existing default or Event
of Default on Lessee's part hereunder, and such other information as may be
reasonably requested by Lessee.

          (d) Lessee shall at all times be Solvent. Furthermore, as of the date
of this Agreement, Lessee agrees to establish and maintain, in a form
satisfactory to Lessor, a funding commitment in an amount equal to $2,000,000
upon which Lessee may draw upon to pay to Lessor Base Rent, Percentage Rent and
Additional Charges. Repayment of the funding commitment shall be subordinated to
all payments of Base Rent, Percentage Rent and additional charges under all
Leases between Lessor and Lessee.

    23.2. Lessor's Right to Inspect. Lessee shall permit Lessor and its
          -------------------------
authorized representatives as frequently as reasonably requested by Lessor to
inspect the Leased Property and Lessee's accounts and records pertaining thereto
and make copies thereof, during usual business

                                  APPRAISERS

     24.1.  Appraisers. If it becomes necessary to determine the Fair Market
            ----------
Value or Fair Market Rental of the Leased Property for any purpose of this
Lease, the party required or permitted to give Notice of such required
determination shall include in the Notice the name of a Person selected to act
as appraiser on its behalf. Within ten (10) days after Notice, Lessor (or
Lessee, as the case may be) shall by Notice to Lessee (or Lessor, as the case
may be) appoint a second Person as appraiser on its behalf. The appraisers thus
appointed, each of whom must be a member of the American Institute of Real
Estate Appraisers (or any successor organization thereto) with at least five (5)
years' experience in the State appraising property similar to the Leased
Property, shall, within forty-five (45) days after the date of the Notice
appointing the first appraiser, proceed to appraise the Leased Property to
determine the Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental thereof as of the relevant
date (giving effect to the impact, if any, of inflation from the date of their
decision to the relevant date); provided, however, that if only one appraiser
shall have been so appointed, then the determination of such appraiser shall be
final and binding upon the parties. To the extent consistent with sound
appraisal practice as then existing at the time of any such appraisal, such
appraisal shall be made on a basis consistent with the basis on which the Leased
Property was appraised for purposes of determining its Fair Market Value at the
time the Leased Property was acquired by Lessor. If two (2) appraisers are
appointed and if the difference between the amounts so determined does not
exceed five percent (5%) of the lesser of such amounts, then the Fair Market
Value or Fair Market Rental shall be an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of
the sum of the amounts so determined. If the difference between the amounts so
determined exceeds five percent (5%) of the lesser of such amounts, then such
two appraisers shall have twenty (20) days to appoint a third appraiser. If no
such appraiser shall have been appointed within such twenty (20) days or within
ninety (90) days of the original request for a determination of Fair Market
Value or Fair Market Rental, whichever is earlier, either Lessor or Lessee may
apply to any court having jurisdiction to have such appointment made by such
court. Any appraiser appointed by the original appraisers or by such court shall
be instructed to determine the Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental within
forty-five (45) days after appointment of such appraiser. The determination of
the appraiser which differs most in the 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 Lessor and Lessee as the Fair Market Value or Fair Market Rental of the
Leased Property, as the case may be. This provision for determining 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. Lessor and Lessee
shall each pay the fees and expenses of the appraiser appointed by it and each
shall pay 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.

                 ARBITRATION AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURES

     25.1.  Arbitration. Except as set forth in Section 25.2, in each case
            -----------
specified in this Lease in which it shall become necessary to resort to
arbitration, such arbitration shall be determined as provided in this Section
25.1. The party desiring such arbitration shall give Notice to that effect to
the other party, and an arbitrator shall be selected by mutual agreement of the
parties, or if they cannot agree within thirty (30) days of such notice, by
appointment made by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") from among the
members of its panels who are qualified and who have experience in resolving
matters of a nature similar to the matter to be resolved by arbitration.

     25.2.  Alternative Arbitration. In each case specified in this Lease for a
            -----------------------
matter to be submitted to arbitration pursuant to the provisions of this Section
25.2, Lessor and Lessee will agree upon a nationally recognized accounting firm
with a hospitality division of which neither party nor their Affiliates of
Lessor is a significant client to serve as arbitrator of such dispute within
fifteen (15) days after written demand for arbitration is received or sent by
either party. In the event the parties fail to make such designation within such
fifteen (15) day period, Lessor shall be entitled to designate any nationally
recognized accounting firm with a hospitality division of which Lessor or an
Affiliate of Lessor is not a significant client to serve as arbitrator of such
dispute within fifteen (15) days after the parties fail to timely make such
designation. In the event Lessor fails to make such designation within such
fifteen (15) day period, Lessee shall be entitled to designate any nationally
recognized accounting firm with hospitality division of which Lessee or an
Affiliate of Lessee is not a significant client to serve as arbitrator of such
dispute within fifteen (15) days after the parties fail to timely make such
designation. In the event no nationally recognized accounting firm satisfying
such qualifications is available and willing to serve as arbitrator, the
arbitrator shall instead be administered as set forth in Section 25.1.

     25.3.  Arbitration Procedure. X In any arbitration commenced pursuant to
            ---------------------
Sections 25.1 or 25.2, a single arbitrator shall be designated and shall resolve
the dispute. The arbitrator's decision shall be binding on all parties, shall
not be subject to further review or appeal except as otherwise allowed by
applicable law and may be filed in and enforced by a court of competent
jurisdiction. Upon the failure of either party (the "non-complying party") to
comply with his decision, the arbitrator shall be empowered, at the request of
the other party, to order such compliance by the non-complying party and to
supervise or arrange for the supervision of the non- complying party's
obligation to comply with the arbitrator's decision, all at the expense of the
non-complying party. To the maximum extent practicable, the arbitrator and the
parties, and the AAA if applicable, shall take any action necessary to insure
that the arbitration shall be concluded within ninety (90) days of the filing of
such dispute. The fees and expenses of the arbitrator shall be shared equally by
Lessor and Lessee except as otherwise specified above in this Section 25.3.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties or required by the arbitrator
or AAA, if applicable, arbitration proceedings hereunder shall be conducted in
the State. Notwithstanding formal rules of evidence, each party may submit such
evidence as each party deems appropriate to support its position and the
arbitrator shall have access to and right to examine all books and records of
Lessee and Lessor regarding the Hotel during the arbitration.

other party for breach of its obligations under this Lease, the party against
whom such claim is made shall be liable to the other party only for actual

            -----------------------------------------
occurs and Lessee has filed or has had filed against it a petition in bankruptcy
or for reorganization or other relief pursuant to the federal bankruptcy code,

time to file said motion.

     27.9.  Enforceability. Anything contained in this Lease to the contrary
            --------------
notwithstanding, all claims against, and liabilities of, Lessee or Lessor
arising prior to any date of termination of this Lease shall survive such
