audited  financial  statements,  a  signed  copy  of  each  report  prepared  by
independent  accountants,  and such other information with regard to its affairs
as the Advisor may from time to time reasonably request.

Advice.  In addition to the services  described in Section 2 above,  the Advisor
shall  consult with the Board of  Directors  and the officers of the Company and
shall furnish them with advice and recommendations with respect to the acquiring
of Properties or commitments  therefor,  or other investments of, or investments

respect to other aspects of the business and affairs of the Company. In order to
facilitate  the  investment  of the funds of the  Company and enable it to avail
itself of investment  opportunities  as they arise, the Advisor may from time to
time be granted,  but is not hereby granted, the power and authority to make and
dispose of investments and to make and terminate commitments for investments, on
behalf of and in the name of the Company,  without further or express  authority

by the Board of  Directors,  a  representative  of the Advisor  shall attend all
regular  and  special  meetings  of the  Board of  Directors,  and the  Board of
Directors shall notify the Advisor of such meetings.

The Advisor  shall first  present to the  Company all  investment  opportunities
which are suitable for the Company,  because such investment  opportunities  are
within the investment objectives and policies of the Company, before the Advisor
offers such  opportunities to any other Person or takes for its own account.  It
is expressly  understood,  however,  that the primary investments of the Company
are expected to be existing residential  apartment  communities in Texas and the
southwestern region of the United States.

Bank Accounts.  The Advisor may establish and maintain one or more bank accounts
in the name of the Company and may collect and deposit  into any such account or
accounts, and disburse from any such account or accounts, any money on behalf of
the  Company,  under such terms and  conditions  as the Board of  Directors  may
approve,  provided that all such accounts shall be maintained in such fashion as
to make clear that the funds  therein are the property of the Company and not of
the Advisor. The Advisor shall from time to time render appropriate  accountings
of such  collections  and payments to the Board of Directors and to the auditors
of the Company.

Investment  Undertakings.  The Advisor shall use its best efforts to assure that
(i) any mortgage  securing a Property of the Company shall be and remain a valid
lien upon the mortgaged  property  according to its terms; (ii) the title to any
Property  is insured  by  appropriate  policies  of title  insurance;  (iii) any
Property is duly insured against loss or damage by fire, with extended coverage,
and  against  such  other  insurable  hazards  and  risks  as is  customary  and
appropriate  in the  circumstances;  and (iv)  the  policies  from  time to time
specified  by the  Board of  Directors  with  regard  to the  protection  of the
Company's  investments  are carried out. Any and all fees and costs  incurred by
the Advisor in performing such  functions,  whether payable to its Affiliates or
independent Persons shall be borne by the Company.

<PAGE>

Records; Confidentiality.  The Advisor shall maintain appropriate records of all
its activities  hereunder and make such records  available for inspection by the
Board of  Directors  and by  counsel,  auditors  and  authorized  agents  of the
Company,  at any time or from time to time during  normal  business  hours.  The
Advisor  shall at all  reasonable  times have access to the books and records of
the  Company.  The  Advisor  shall  keep  confidential  any and all  information
obtained  in  connection  with the  services  rendered  hereunder  and shall not
disclose any such  information  to  nonaffiliated  Persons except with the prior
consent of the Board.

Limitation  of  Activities.  Anything  else in this  Agreement  to the  contrary
notwithstanding:

The Advisor  shall  refrain from taking any action  which,  in its sole judgment
made in good faith,  would adversely  affect the status of the Company as a real
estate  investment  trust  as  defined  in the  Code,  subject  the  Company  to
regulation  under the Investment  Company Act of 1940,  violate any law, rule or
regulation or would otherwise not be permitted by the Articles of  Incorporation
or Bylaws of the Company, except if such action shall be ordered by the Board of
Directors,  in  which  case the  Advisor  shall  notify  promptly  the  Board of
Directors of the Advisor's  judgment of the potential  impact of such action and
shall refrain from taking such action until it receives further clarification or
instructions  from the Board of Directors.  Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  the
Advisor and its  stockholders,  directors,  officers and employees  shall not be
liable to the Company,  or to the Company's  Board of Directors or  Shareholders
for any act or omission by the Advisor, or its stockholders, directors, officers
or employees except as provided in Section 16 of this Agreement.

In performing its duties and obligations under this Agreement, the Advisor shall
abide by and comply with the  provisions  and policies set forth in the Articles
of Incorporation and Bylaws.

members of the Board of  Directors or any  committee  thereof and as officers of
the  Company,  except  that no employee of the Advisor who also is a Director or
officer of the  Company  shall  receive  any  compensation  from the Company for
serving as a Director or officer  other than for  reasonable  reimbursement  for
travel and  related  expenses  incurred  in  attending  meetings of the Board of
Directors or any committee thereof.

Except as  otherwise  provided  herein,  the Advisor  shall pay all  expenses of
performing its obligations under this Agreement,  including, without limitation,
the following expenses:

employment  expenses of the Advisor,  including,  but not limited to,  salaries,
wages,  payroll  taxes,  costs of employee  benefit  plans,  and temporary  help

<PAGE>

Other  Services.  Should the Board of Directors  request that the Advisor or any

2% of the Average Invested Assets of the Company for such Calendar Year; or

25% of the Company's  Company Net Income for such Calendar  Year,  determined in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

The Independent  Directors of the Company may determine that, because of unusual
and nonrecurring factors which they deem sufficient, a higher level of Operating
Expenses is justified  for such  Calendar  Year.  The Advisor  shall be promptly
reimbursed  for any payments  made under this  Section 15 if, in any  succeeding
Calendar Year, the Operating Expenses of the Company are less than the permitted
level of Operating Expenses.

Advisory  Responsibility.  The  Advisor  assumes  no  responsibility  under this
Agreement  other than to render the services  called for hereunder in good faith
and with  integrity,  and shall not be responsible for any action of the Company
in following or declining to follow any advice or recommendation of the Advisor.
Neither the Advisor, its shareholders, directors, officers nor employees nor any
of its Affiliates,  nor any Person contracting with the Advisor for services and
its  shareholders,  directors,  officers and employees nor any of its Affiliates
shall be liable to the  Company  or its  Shareholders,  except by reason of acts
constituting gross negligence or willful  misconduct.  The Advisor hereby agrees
to look  solely to the  assets of the  Company  for  satisfaction  of all claims
against the Company, and in no event shall any Shareholder, Director, officer or
agent of the Company  have any  personal  liability  for the  obligation  of the
Company under this Agreement.

Incorporation  of the Articles of  Incorporation  and Bylaws.  To the extent the
Articles of Incorporation  and Bylaws impose  obligations or restrictions on the
Advisor  or grant the  Advisor  certain  rights  which are not set forth in this
Agreement,  the Advisor shall abide by such obligations or restrictions and such
rights  shall inure to the benefit of the Advisor with the same force and effect
as if they were set forth herein.

Fiduciary  Duty and  Indemnification.  Subject to Section 16, the Advisor  shall
have a fiduciary  relationship to the Shareholders.  However,  the Company shall
indemnify  the  Advisor,  to the  fullest  extent  permitted  by  law,  for  its
liabilities and losses arising from the operations of the Company (including its
costs and expenses,  including  legal fees and expenses,  incurred in connection
with  investigating and defending itself against such liabilities and losses) if
the following conditions are met:

<PAGE>

the Directors have determined,  in good faith,  that the course of conduct which
caused  the  liability  or loss was  undertaken  in good faith  within  what the
Advisor  reasonably  believed to be the scope of its employment or authority and
for a purpose  which it reasonably  believed to be in the best  interests of the
Company;

the Directors have determined, in good faith, that the liability or loss was not
the result of willful  misconduct,  bad faith,  reckless  disregard of duties or
violation of the criminal law on the part of the Advisor; and

the indemnified  amount is recoverable only out of the assets of the Company and
not from the Shareholders.

Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  indemnification  will not be  allowed  for any
liability  imposed  by  judgment,  and  costs  associated  therewith,  including
attorneys'  fees,  arising  from  or out of a  violation  of  state  or  federal
securities  laws  associated  with the Offering of the Common  Shares unless (i)
there has been a successful  adjudication  on the merits of each count involving
alleged securities laws violations as to the particular indemnitee, or (ii) such
claims have been  dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent
jurisdiction  as to the  particular  indemnitee  or (iii) a court  of  competent
jurisdiction   approves  a  settlement  of  the  claims   against  a  particular
indemnitee.

Transactions  between the Advisor and the Company.  All transactions between the
Advisor  and the  Company  shall  require  the  approval  by a  majority  of the
Directors  (including  a  majority  of  the  Independent  Directors)  and  shall
otherwise comply with the conflict of interest provisions of the Bylaws.

Relationship  of Advisor  and  Company.  The  Company  and the  Advisor  are not
partners  or joint  ventures  with  each  other,  and  nothing  herein  shall be
construed to make them such  partners or joint  ventures or impose any liability
as such on either of them.

Other  Activities.  Except  as  otherwise  expressly  provided  herein,  nothing
contained  herein  shall limit the right of the Advisor or any of its  officers,
directors or  employees,  whether or not a Director,  officer or employee of the
Company,  to engage in other  business  activities or to render  services of any
kind to any other Person even if such other business  activities or services may
be in direct competition with the Company.

Term; Termination of Agreement.

This Agreement  shall have an initial term ending five years after  ___________,
2001,  and thereafter  shall be renewed for  additional  two-year terms upon the
consent of the Directors.

Prior to any renewal of this Agreement,  the Independent  Directors shall review
(i) the  performance of the Advisor  hereunder to determine its compliance  with
the  provisions  of this  Agreement,  and (ii) the fees  payable to the  Advisor

This  Agreement  shall be  terminable  (i) without  cause by the Advisor or (ii)
without cause by a majority of the Independent  Directors,  in each case upon 60
days' prior written notice to the non-terminating party.

In the event of the termination of the Advisor,  the Advisor will cooperate with
the Company and take all reasonable  steps  requested to assist the Directors in
making an orderly transition of the advisory function to another Person.

At the sole option of a majority of the  Independent  Directors,  this Agreement
may be terminated for cause by written notice of termination from the Company to
the Advisor if any of the following events occur:

if the  Advisor  shall  violate or default in the  performance  of any  material
provision of this  Agreement  and,  after  written  notice of such  violation or
default, shall not cure such violation or default within 30 days;

if the Advisor  shall be adjudged  bankrupt or insolvent by a court of competent
jurisdiction, or an order shall be made by a court of competent jurisdiction for
the appointment of a receiver,  liquidator or trustee of the Advisor,  or of all
or  substantially  all of its property by reason of the foregoing,  or approving
any petition filed against the Advisor for reorganization, and such adjudication
or order shall remain in force or unstayed for a period of 30 days; or

if the Advisor shall  institute  proceedings  for voluntary  bankruptcy or shall
file a petition seeking reorganization under the federal bankruptcy laws, or for
relief under any law for relief of debtors,  or shall consent to the appointment
of a receiver for itself or for all or  substantially  all of its  property,  or
shall make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or shall admit
in writing its inability to pay its debts, generally, as they become due.

Any notice of  termination  under this Section  shall (except to the extent this
Section  requires a different  notice period) be effective on the date specified
in such  notice,  which may be the day on which such notice is given or any date
thereafter.  The  Advisor  agrees  that  if  any  of  the  events  specified  in
subparagraph  (ii) or (iii) of Section 22(e) shall occur,  it shall give written
notice  thereof to the Board of Directors  within 5 days after the occurrence of
such event.

Action Upon Termination.

From and after the effective date of  termination of this Agreement  pursuant to
Section 22 hereof, the Advisor shall not be entitled to compensation for further
services rendered  hereunder,  but shall be entitled to receive from the Company
within 30 days after the effective date of such  termination,  an amount in cash
equal to all earned but unpaid  Asset  Management  Fees  payable to the  Advisor
prior to the termination of this Agreement.

Within a reasonable period of time, but in no event later than 30 days after the
termination of this Agreement, the Advisor shall:

pay over to the  Company  all money  collected  and held for the  account of the
Company pursuant to this Agreement, after deducting any accrued compensation and
reimbursement for its expenses to which it is then entitled;

<PAGE>

deliver to the Board of  Directors  a full  accounting,  including  a  statement
showing all  payments  collected  by it and a statement of all money held by it,
covering the period  following the date of the last accounting  furnished to the
Board of Directors; and

deliver to the Board of Directors all property and documents of the Company then
in the custody of the Advisor.

The Advisor  shall be entitled to receive,  promptly  after such 30-day  period,
reimbursement for any additional expenses to which it is entitled (and for which
it has not been reimbursed under clause (i) of Section 23(b)).

Assignment  Prohibition.  This  Agreement  may not be  assigned  by the  Advisor
without the approval of a majority of the Board of Directors; provided, however,
that such  approval  shall not be  required  in the case of an  assignment  to a
corporation,  association,  trust or organization which may take over the assets
and  carry on the  affairs  of the  Advisor,  provided  that at the time of such
assignment,  such successor  organization  shall be owned  substantially  by the
Advisor or its  Affiliates  and that an officer of the Advisor  shall deliver to
the Board of Directors a statement in writing indicating the ownership structure
of the  successor  organization.  Such an  assignment  shall bind the  assignees
hereunder in the same manner as the Advisor is bound  hereunder.  This Agreement
shall not be assigned by the Company without the consent of the Advisor,  except
in  the  case  of an  assignment  by  the  Company  to a  corporation  or  other
organization  which is a successor to the Company,  in which case such successor
organization shall be bound hereunder and by the terms of said assignment in the
same manner as the Company is bound hereunder.

Bylaws. The execution and performance of this Agreement hereby is expressly made
subject to Article VIII of the Bylaws of the Company.

                                    AGREEMENT

         THIS  AGREEMENT  is  made  and  entered  into  as of  the  __st  day of
_________,  2001,  by and  between  Apple  Hospitality  Two,  Inc.,  a  Virginia
corporation (hereinafter referred to as "Owner"), and Apple Suites Realty Group,
Inc., a Virginia corporation (hereinafter referred to as "Agent").

                              W I T N E S S E T H :

         WHEREAS,  Owner plans to conduct business as a "real estate  investment
trust," and, in connection  therewith,  plans to, from time to time, acquire and
dispose  of real  property,  including  particularly  corporate  apartments  and
upper-end,  extended-stay hotel properties (hereinafter referred to individually
as a "Property" and collectively as the "Properties");

         WHEREAS,  Owner  desires  to use the  services  of Agent as a broker in
connection  with the  acquisition and disposition of the Properties on the terms
set forth in this Agreement; and

         WHEREAS,  Owner and Agent desire to enter into this  Agreement  for the
purposes herein contained.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises herein contained,  and
for other valuable consideration,  receipt of which is hereby acknowledged,  the
parties agree as follows:

         1.  Engagement  of Agent as Broker  for the  Properties.  Owner  hereby
engages  Agent as a broker  in  connection  with  the  purchase  and sale of the
Properties,  upon the  conditions and for the term and  compensation  herein set
forth.  All or any  portion  of the  services  being  performed  by Agent may be
contracted  or  subcontracted  by Agent to another  company,  provided that such
company agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

         2. Term of Agreement;  Renewal.  This  Agreement  shall be valid for an
initial term of five (5) years ending  ________,  2006.  Unless  either party by
written  notice  sent to the other party at least sixty (60) days before the end
of any 5-year term hereof  elects not to renew this  Agreement,  this  Agreement
shall renew  automatically  for  successive  terms of five (5) years on the same
terms as contained herein.

         3.  Acceptance of Engagement.  Agent hereby accepts its engagement as a
broker for the  purchase  and sale of the  Properties  and agrees to perform all
services  necessary to effectuate such purchases and sales which are customarily
provided by commercial  real estate  brokers,  and,  without  limitation,  Agent
agrees:

             a. To supervise,  on behalf of Owner,  the preparation of contracts
of purchase or sale for each  Property,  on such terms as are specified by Owner
or its duly authorized representatives,  and all other documents related thereto
or required to effectuate such purchase or sale;

<PAGE>

             b. To  coordinate  the  activities  of, and act as liaison  between
Owner and,  independent  professionals  connected with the purchase or sale of a
Property, including attorneys,  appraisers,  engineers,  inspectors, lenders, if
any, and others;

             c. To assist Owner and its authorized representatives in satisfying
any  conditions  precedent  to the  purchase or sale of a Property,  which shall
include contracting on behalf of Owner with any third parties whose services are
required to close any such purchase or sale;

             d. To  represent  Owner at the closing of the purchase or sale of a
Property,  to coordinate the activities of professionals and other third persons
connected  with such closing,  and to supervise the compliance by Owner with all
requirements  and  customary  actions  associated  with such  purchase  or sale,
including,  without limitation,  the obtaining of property title insurance,  the
delivery and recordation of deeds and other  instruments of conveyance,  and the
delivery  and  recordation,  as  required,  of any  documents  evidencing  loans
obtained or made by Owner;

             e.  Generally  to act on  behalf of Owner in  connection  with such
purchase or sale as a commercial  real estate broker would  customarily act with
respect to such transaction, including the provision of such additional services
as would normally be provided by such a person.

         4. Indemnification.  Owner hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
Agent against and in respect of any loss, cost or expense (including  reasonable
investigative  expenses and attorneys' fees),  judgment,  award,  amount paid in
settlement,  fine,  penalty and  liability of any and every kind  incurred by or
asserted  against  Agent by reason of or in  connection  with the  engagement of
Agent  hereunder,  the performance by Agent of the services  described herein or
the  occurrence  or existence of any event or  circumstance  which results or is
alleged to have resulted in death or injury to any person or  destruction  of or
damage to any property and any suit, action or proceeding  (whether  threatened,
initiated or completed) by reason of the foregoing;  provided,  however, that no
such  indemnification of Agent shall be made, and Agent shall indemnify and hold
Owner harmless against, and to the extent of, any loss that a court of competent
jurisdiction  shall,  by final  adjudication,  determine to have  resulted  from
willful misconduct, gross negligence or fraud by or on the part of Agent.

         5.  Compensation  of  Agent.  Owner  shall  pay to Agent a real  estate
commission in connection  with each purchase of a Property in an amount equal to
two percent (2%) of the gross  purchase  price of the  Property  (which does not
include amounts  budgeted for repairs and  improvements),  in  consideration  of
Agent (or any  person  with whom  Agent  subcontracts  or  contracts  hereunder)
performing the services  provided for in this  Agreement in connection  with the
purchase of the  Property.  In  consideration  of Agent (or any person with whom
Agent subcontracts or contracts hereunder)  performing the services provided for
in this Agreement in connection with the sale of a Property,  Owner shall pay to
Agent the following:  a real estate  commission in connection with the sale of a
Property in an amount  equal to two percent (2%) of the gross sales price of the
Property,  if, but only if, the sales price of the  Property  exceeds the sum of
(A) the Company's  cost for the Property  (consisting  of the original  purchase
price plus all

<PAGE>

capitalized  costs and  expenditures  connected with the Property),  without any
reduction for depreciation, and (B) ten percent (10%) of such cost. If the sales
price of the Property  does not equal such amount,  Agent shall be entitled only
to payment by the  Company of its "direct  costs"  incurred  in  marketing  such
property  (where "direct costs" refers to a reasonable  allocation of all costs,
[including  salaries  of  personnel,  overhead  and  utilities]),  allocable  to
services  in  marketing  such  property.  If the two  percent  (2%) real  estate
commission  is payable in  connection  with sale of a Property,  Agent shall not
also be paid  the  reimbursement  of its  "direct  costs"  as  described  in the
preceding  sentence.  If the person from whom Owner  purchases  or to whom Owner
sells a Property pays any fee to Agent, such amount shall decrease the amount of
Owner's  obligation  to Agent.  Furthermore,  Agent shall not be entitled to any
real estate commission in connection with a sale of a Property by Owner to Agent
or any Affiliate of Agent (where  "Affiliate"  has the meaning  specified in the
Prospectus  of Owner),  but Agent will,  in such case, be entitled to payment by
Owner of its direct  costs in such regard.  The fees and  expenses  provided for
herein  shall be  payable  if Owner  sells a  property,  sells  shares in Owner,
effects  a merger  of  Owner  with  another  entity,  or  undertakes  any  other
transaction,  the purpose or effect of which is, in essence,  to dispose of some
or all  Properties.  In any case other than an actual sale of Properties,  Owner
and Agent shall in good faith agree upon an allocation of purchase price to each
Property which is effectively disposed of.

         6. Power of Attorney.  Owner  hereby  makes,  constitutes  and appoints
Agent its true and lawful  attorney-in-fact,  for it and in its name,  place and
stead and for its use and benefit to sign,  acknowledge  and file all  documents
and  agreements  (other  than  contracts  for  purchase  or sale of a  Property,
promissory  notes,  mortgages,  deeds of trust or other documents or instruments
which would bind Owner to purchase  or sell a Property,  result or evidence  the
incurrence  of debt by Owner,  or encumber a Property)  necessary  to perform or
effect the duties and  obligations  of Agent under the terms of this  Agreement.
The foregoing  power of attorney is a special power of attorney  coupled with an
interest. It shall terminate when this Agreement terminates as provided herein.

         7.  Relationship  of Parties.  The parties agree and  acknowledge  that
Agent is and shall operate as an independent contractor in performing its duties
under this Agreement, and shall not be deemed an employee of Owner.

         8. Entire Agreement. This Agreement represents the entire understanding
between the parties hereto with regard to the transactions  described herein and
may only be amended by a written  instrument  signed by the party  against  whom
enforcement is sought.

         9. Governing Law. This Agreement  shall be construed in accordance with
and be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF,  the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as
