Backed Trust Certificates, Royal Caribbean Debenture-Backed Series 2001-30."
The Certificates shall consist of the Class A-1 Certificates and the Class A-2
Certificates (together, the "Certificates"). The Trust is also issuing call
warrants with respect to the Certificates ("Call Warrants").

     (a) The Certificates shall be held through the Depository in book-entry
form and shall be substantially in the forms attached hereto as Exhibits A-1
and A-2. The Class A-1 Certificates shall be issued in denominations of $10.
The Class A-2 Certificates shall be issued in minimum denominations of $1,000

and paid on the Underlying Securities from March 15, 2001, to but not

recovery on the Underlying Securities.

     (d) The Depositor may sell to the Trustee additional Underlying
Securities on any date hereafter upon at least 3 Business Days notice to the

additional Underlying Securities will not materially increase the likelihood

such sale to the Trustee, the Trustee shall deposit such additional Underlying
Securities in the Certificate Account, and shall authenticate and deliver to
the Depositor, on its order, Class A-1 Certificates and Class A-2 Certificates
in the same proportion as the original Class A-1 Certificates and Class A-2
Certificates, with an aggregate Certificate Principal Amount equal to the
principal amount of such additional Underlying Securities, and the Call
Warrants related thereto. Any such additional Class A-1 Certificates and Class
A-2 Certificates authenticated and delivered shall have the same terms and
rank pari passu with the corresponding classes of Certificates previously
issued in accordance with this Series Supplement.

     (e) As a condition precedent for transferring the Call Warrants, the
prospective transferee shall be required to deliver to the Trustee and the
Depositor an executed copy of the Investment Letter (set forth in Exhibit C
hereto).

          (ii) the Trustee will pay the principal portion of Available Funds:

               (a) first, to the Trustee, as reimbursement for any remaining

               Certificates and Class A-2 Certificates pro rata in proportion
               to their original principal balances.

     (b) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof (other than Section 3(c))
if the Underlying Securities are redeemed, prepaid or liquidated in whole or
in part for any reason other than at their maturity or the cessation of the

Exchange Act, the Trustee shall apply Available Funds in the manner described

               rendered to the Depositor, any remainder up to $1,000; and

          (v)  fifth, to the holders of the Class A-1 Certificates and Class
               A-2 Certificates, any amount remaining after the distributions
               in clauses 5(b)(i) through 5(b)(iv) above, pro rata in
               proportion to their original principal balances.

majority of the Voting Rights, thirty (30) days after giving notice pursuant
to Section 8 hereof, the Trustee shall sell the Underlying Securities pursuant
to Section 13 hereof and deposit the Liquidation Proceeds, if any, into the
Certificate Account for distribution not later than two (2) Business Days
after the receipt of immediately available funds in accordance with Section
5(b) hereof.

     (d) If the Trustee receives non-cash property in respect of the
Underlying Securities as a result of a payment default on the Underlying
Securities (including from the sale thereof), the Trustee will promptly give
notice to the Depository, or for any Certificates which are not then held by
DTC or any other depository, directly to the registered holders of the
Certificates then outstanding and unpaid. Such notice shall state that the
Trustee shall and the Trustee shall, not later than 30 days after the receipt
of such property, allocate and distribute such property to the holders of
Class A-1 Certificates and Class A-2 Certificates then outstanding and unpaid,
pro rata by principal amount (after deducting the costs incurred in connection
therewith) in accordance with Section 5(b) hereof. Property other than cash
will be liquidated by the Trustee, and the proceeds thereof distributed in
cash, only to the extent necessary to avoid distribution of fractional
securities to Certificateholders. In-kind distribution of such property to
Certificateholders will be deemed to reduce the principal amount of
Certificates on a dollar-for-dollar basis.

     (e) Subject to Section 9(f) hereof, to the extent Available Funds are
insufficient to make any required distributions due to any class of
Certificates on any Distribution Date, any shortfall will be carried over and
will be distributed on the next Distribution Date (or date referred to in
Section 5(f) hereof) on which sufficient funds are available to pay such
shortfall.

     (f) If a payment with respect to the Underlying Securities is made to the
Trustee (i) after the payment date of the Underlying Securities on which such
payment was due or (ii) after the Underlying Securities are redeemed, prepaid
or liquidated in whole or in part for any reason other than at their maturity,
then the Trustee will distribute any such amounts received on the next
occurring Business Day (a "Special Distribution Date") as if the funds had
constituted Available Funds on the Distribution Date immediately preceding
such Special Distribution Date; provided, however, that the Record Date for
such Special Distribution Date shall be five Business Days prior to the day on
which the related payment was received from the Underlying Securities Trustee.

     (g) Notwithstanding Section 3.12 of the Standard Terms, if the Underlying
Securities Issuer ceases to file the periodic reports required under the
Exchange Act, the Depositor shall within a reasonable period of time instruct
the Trustee to sell the Underlying Securities and allocate the proceeds of
such sale in the following order of priority: (i) to the Trustee,
reimbursement for any remaining extraordinary expenses incurred by the Trustee
pursuant to the instructions of all the certificateholders and (ii) to the
holders of the Class A-1 Certificates and the Class A-2 Certificates in
accordance with the ratio of the Class A-1 Allocation to the Class A-2
Allocation; provided, however, the Depositor shall not instruct the Trustee to
distribute or sell the Underlying Securities pursuant to this clause unless
the Underlying Securities Issuer has either (x) stated in writing that it
intends permanently to cease filing reports required under the Exchange Act or
(y) failed to file any required reports for one full calendar year.

     Section 6. Trustee's Fees.

     (a) As compensation for its services hereunder, the Trustee shall be
entitled to the Trustee Fee and any amount payable under clause 5(a)(iii) or
5(b)(iv) above. The Trustee Fee shall be paid by the Depositor and not from
Trust Property. The Trustee shall bear all Ordinary Expenses. Failure by the
Depositor to pay such amount shall not entitle the Trustee to any payment or
reimbursement from the Trust, nor shall such failure release the Trustee from
the duties it is required to perform under the Trust Agreement.

     (b) Extraordinary Expenses shall not be paid out of the Trust Property
unless all the holders of the Class A-1 Certificates and Class A-2
Certificates then outstanding have directed the Trustee to incur such
Extraordinary Expenses. The Trustee may incur other Extraordinary Expenses if
any lesser percentage of the Certificateholders requesting such action
pursuant hereto reimburse the Trustee for the cost thereof from their own
funds in advance. If Extraordinary Expenses are not approved unanimously as
set forth in the first sentence of this Section 6(b), such Extraordinary
Expenses shall not be an obligation of the Trust, and the Trustee shall not
file any claim against the Trust therefor notwithstanding failure of
Certificateholders to reimburse the Trustee.

     Section 7. Optional Exchange; Optional Call.

     (a) (i) On any Distribution Date, any holder of Class A-1 Certificates and
Class A-2 Certificates and the related Call Warrants, if Call Warrants related
to such Certificates are outstanding, may exchange such Certificates and, if
applicable, Call Warrants, for a distribution of Underlying Securities
representing the same percentage of the Underlying Securities as such
Certificates represent of all outstanding Certificates.

          (ii) The following conditions shall apply to any Optional Exchange.

               (a) A notice specifying the number of Certificates being
               surrendered and the Optional Exchange Date shall be delivered
               to the Trustee no less than 5 days (or such shorter period
               acceptable to the Trustee) but not more than 30 days before the
               Optional Exchange Date.

                                      11
<PAGE>

               (b) Certificates and, if applicable, the Call Warrants, shall
               be surrendered to the Trustee no later than 10:00 a.m. (New
               York City time) on the Optional Exchange Date.

               (c) Class A-1 Certificates and Class A-2 Certificates
               representing a like percentage of all Class A-1 Certificates
               and Class A-2 Certificates shall be surrendered.

               (d) The Trustee shall have received an opinion of counsel
               stating that the Optional Exchange would not affect the
               characterization of the Trust as a "grantor trust" for federal
               income tax purposes.

               (e) If the Certificateholder is the Depositor or any Affiliate
               of the Depositor, (1) the Trustee shall have received a
               certification from the Certificateholder that any Certificates
               being surrendered have been held for at least six months, and
               (2) the Certificates being surrendered may represent no more
               than 5% (or 25% in the case of Certificates acquired by the
               Underwriter but never distributed to investors) of the then
               outstanding Certificates.

          (iii) The Trustee shall not be obligated to determine whether an
               Optional Exchange complies with the applicable provisions for
               exemption under Rule 3a-7 of the Investment Company Act of
               1940, as amended, or the rules or regulations promulgated
               thereunder.

          (iv) The provisions of Section 4.07 of the Standard Terms shall not
               apply to an Optional Exchange pursuant to this Section 7(a).
               This Section 7(a) shall not provide any person with a lien
               against, an interest in or a right to specific performance with
               respect to the Underlying Securities.

     (b) (i) Concurrently with the execution of this Series Supplement, the
Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, shall execute the Warrant Agent Agreement and
the Call Warrants, dated as of the date hereof and substantially in the form
of Exhibit B hereto, initially evidencing all of the Call Warrants. The
Trustee shall perform the Trust's obligations under the Warrant Agent
Agreement and the Call Warrants in accordance with their respective terms.

          (ii) Call Warrants may be exercised by the Warrant Holder in whole
               or in part on any Call Date. In addition to the conditions set
               forth in Section 1.1 of the Warrant Agent Agreement, the
               following conditions shall apply to any Optional Call.

               (a) An opinion of counsel to the Warrant Holder shall have been
               delivered to the Rating Agencies, in form satisfactory to the
               Rating Agencies, indicating that payment of the Call Price
               shall not be recoverable as a preferential transfer or
               fraudulent conveyance under the United States Bankruptcy Code.
               Such opinion may contain customary assumptions and
               qualifications.

                                      12
<PAGE>

               (b) The Warrant Holder shall have provided a certificate of
               solvency to the Trustee.

          (iii) Upon receipt of a Call Notice, the Trustee shall provide a
               conditional call notice to the Depository not less than 3
               Business Days prior to the Call Date.

          (iv) Delivery of a Call Notice does not give rise to an obligation
               on part of the Warrant Holder to pay the Call Price. If, by
               10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Call Date, the Warrant
               Holder has not paid the Call Price, then the Call Notice shall
               automatically expire and none of the Warrant Holder, the
               Warrant Agent or the Trustee shall have any obligation with
               respect to the Call Notice. The expiration of a Call Notice
               shall in no way affect the Warrant Holder's right to deliver a
               Call Notice at a later date.

          (v)  Subject to receipt of the Call Price, the Trustee shall pay the
               Call Price to the Certificateholders on the Call Date. The Call
               Price for class of Certificates in respect of partial calls
               shall be allocated pro rata to the Certificateholders of such
               Class.

          (vi) The Trustee shall not consent to any amendment or modification
               of this Agreement (including the Standard Terms) which would
               alter the timing or amount of any payment of the Call Price
               without the prior written consent of 100% of the Warrant
               Holders.

          (vii) The Trustee shall not be obligated to determine whether an
               Optional Call complies with the applicable provisions for
               exemption under Rule 3a-7 of the Investment Company Act of
               1940, as amended, or the rules or regulations promulgated
               thereunder.

          (viii) This Section 7 shall not provide the Warrant Holder with a
               lien against, an interest in or a right to specific performance
               with respect to the Underlying Securities.

          (ix) The Warrant Holder shall initially be the Depositor.

     Section 8. Notices of Events of Default.

     As promptly as practicable after, and in any event within 30 days after,
the occurrence of any Event of Default actually known to the Trustee, the
Trustee shall give notice of such Event of Default to the Depository, or, if
any Certificates are not then held by DTC or any other depository, directly to
the registered holders of such Certificates. However, except in the case of an
Event of Default relating to the payment of principal of or interest on any of
the Underlying Securities, the Trustee will be protected in withholding such
notice if in good faith it determines that the withholding of such notice is
in the interest of the Certificateholders.

          Section 9. Miscellaneous.

                                      13

     (f) If the Trustee has not received payment with respect to a Collection
Period on the Underlying Securities on or prior to the related Distribution
Date, such distribution will be made promptly upon receipt of such payment. No
additional amounts shall accrue on the Certificates or be owed to
Certificateholders as a result of such delay; provided, however, that any
additional interest owed and paid by the Underlying Securities Issuer as a
result of such delay shall be paid to the Class A-1 Certificateholders pro
rata in proportion to their respective entitlements to interest.

     (g) The outstanding principal balance of the Certificates shall not be
reduced by the amount of any Realized Losses (as defined in the Standard
Terms).

     (h) The Trust may not engage in any business or activities other than in
connection with, or relating to, the holding, protecting and preserving of the
Trust Property and the issuance of the Certificates, and other than those
required or authorized by the Trust Agreement or incidental and necessary to
accomplish such activities. The Trust may not issue or sell any certificates
or other obligations other than the Certificates or otherwise incur, assume or
guarantee any indebtedness for money borrowed. Notwithstanding Section 3.05 of
the Standard Terms, funds on deposit in the Certificate Account shall not be
invested.

     (i) Notwithstanding anything in the Trust Agreement to the contrary, the
Trustee may be removed upon 60 days prior written notice delivered by the
holders of Class A-1 Certificates and Class A-2 Certificates representing the
Required Percentage-Removal.

     (j) In the event that the Internal Revenue Service challenges the
characterization of the Trust as a grantor trust, the Trustee shall then file
such forms as the Depositor may specify to establish the Trust's election
pursuant to Section 761 of the Code to exclude the Trust from the application
of Subchapter K of the Code and is hereby empowered to execute such forms on
behalf of the Certificateholders.

     (k) Notwithstanding anything in the Standard Terms to the contrary, the
Trustee, upon written direction by the Depositor, will execute the
Certificates.

                                      14
<PAGE>

     (l) In relation to Section 7.01(f) of the Standard Terms, any periodic
reports filed by the Trustee pursuant to the Exchange Act in accordance with
the customary practices of the Depositor, need not contain any independent
reports.

     (m) Notwithstanding anything in the Trust Agreement to the contrary, the
Trustee will have no recourse to the Underlying Securities.

     (n) The Trustee, at the request of the Underlying Securities Trustee or
any governmental authority, shall provide any such requestor (to the extent
such information is known to the Trustee and at the expense of the Depositor)
with such certifications, documentation, information or other reporting
information concerning the nationality, residence, identity of the Trust or
connection of the Trust with Liberia or the jurisdiction of a successor to the
Underlying Securities Issuer, as the case may be, as shall be necessary in
order to avoid or reduce certain non-U.S. withholding taxes. Depositor agrees
to cooperate with and assist the Trustee in providing the documents and
information required by this paragraph.

     (o) The Trust will not merge or consolidate with any other entity without
confirmation from each Rating Agency that such merger or consolidation will
not result in the qualification, reduction or withdrawal of its then-current
rating on the Certificates.

     (p) All directions, demands and notices hereunder or under the Standard
Terms shall be in writing and shall be delivered as set forth below (unless
written notice is otherwise provided to the Trustee).

     Section 10. Governing Law. THIS SERIES SUPPLEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS
DESCRIBED HEREIN SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE
LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED
WITHIN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CHOICE OF LAWS
PROVISIONS THEREOF.

     Section 11. Counterparts. This Series Supplement may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and
all such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

     Section 12. Termination of the Trust. The Trust shall terminate upon the
earliest to occur of (i) the payment in full at maturity or sale by the Trust
after a payment default or an acceleration or other early payment of the
Underlying Securities and the distribution in full of all amounts due to the
Class A-1 Certificateholders and Class A-2 Certificateholders; (ii) the
exercise of all outstanding Call Warrants by the Warrant Holder; (iii) the
Final Scheduled Distribution Date and (iv) the expiration of 21 years from the
death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late
Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date
hereof.

     Section 13. Sale of Underlying Securities; Optional Exchange. In the
event of a sale of the Underlying Securities pursuant to Section 5(c) hereof
or pursuant to the instructions of the Warrant Agent under Section 1.2 of the
Warrant Agent Agreement, the Trustee shall solicit bids for the sale of the
Underlying Securities with settlement thereof on or before the third (3rd)
Business Day after such sale from three leading dealers in the relevant
market. Any of the following dealers (or their successors) shall be deemed to
qualify as leading dealers: (1) Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation, (2)
Goldman, Sachs & Co., (3) Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated,
(4) UBS Warburg LLC, (5) Salomon Smith Barney Inc., and (6) except in

                                      16
<PAGE>

the case of a sale related to the exercise of Call Warrants by the Depositor
or any Affiliate thereof, Lehman Brothers Inc. The Trustee shall not be
responsible for the failure to obtain a bid so long as it has made reasonable
efforts to obtain bids. If a bid for the sale of the Underlying Securities has
been accepted by the Trustee but the sale has failed to settle on the proposed
settlement date, the Trustee shall request new bids from such leading dealers.
In the event of an Optional Exchange, the Trustee shall only deliver the
Underlying Securities to the purchaser of such Underlying Securities or sell
the Underlying Securities pursuant to this Section 13, as the case may be,
against payment in same day funds deposited into the Certificate Account.

     Section 14. Amendments. Notwithstanding anything in the Trust Agreement
to the contrary, in addition to the other restrictions on modification and
amendment contained therein, the Trustee shall not enter into any amendment or
modification of the Trust Agreement which would adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of the holders of any class of Certificates
without the consent of the holders of 100% of such class of Certificates;
provided, however, that no such amendment or modification will be permitted
which would alter the status of the Trust as a grantor trust for federal
income tax purposes. Further, no amendment shall be permitted which would
adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Class of
Certificateholders without confirmation by each Rating Agency that such
amendment will not result in a downgrading or withdrawal of its rating of such
class of Certificates.

     Section 15. Voting of Underlying Securities, Modification of Indenture.
The Trustee, as holder of the Underlying Securities, has the right to vote and
give consents and waivers in respect of the Underlying Securities as permitted
by the Depository and except as otherwise limited by the Trust Agreement. In
the event that the Trustee receives a request from the Depository, the
Underlying Securities Trustee or the Underlying Securities Issuer for its
consent to any amendment, modification or waiver of the Underlying Securities,
the Indenture or any other document thereunder or relating thereto, or
receives any other solicitation for any action with respect to the Underlying
Securities, the Trustee shall mail a notice of such proposed amendment,
modification, waiver or solicitation to each Certificateholder of record as of
such date. The Trustee shall request instructions from the Certificateholders
as to whether or not to consent to or vote to accept such amendment,
modification, waiver or solicitation. The Trustee shall consent or vote, or
refrain from consenting or voting, in the same proportion (based on the
relative outstanding principal balances of the Certificates) as the
Certificates of the Trust were actually voted or not voted by the
Certificateholders thereof as of a date determined by the Trustee prior to the
date on which such consent or vote is required; provided, however, that,
notwithstanding anything in the Trust Agreement to the contrary, the Trustee
shall at no time vote on or consent to any matter (i) unless such vote or
consent would not (based on an opinion of counsel) alter the status of the
Trust as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes or result in the
imposition of tax upon the Certificateholders, (ii) which would alter the
timing or amount of any payment on the Underlying Securities, including,
without limitation, any demand to accelerate the Underlying Securities, except
in the event of a default under the Underlying Securities or an event which
with the passage of time would become an event of default under the Underlying
Securities and with the unanimous consent of all outstanding Class A-1
Certificateholders and the Class A-2 Certificateholders, or (iii) which would
result in the exchange or substitution of any of the outstanding Underlying
Securities pursuant to a plan for the refunding or refinancing of such
Underlying Securities except in the event of a default under the Indenture and
only with the consent of Certificateholders representing 100% of the Class A-1

                                      17
<PAGE>

Certificates and 100% of the Class A-2 Certificates. The Trustee shall have no
liability for any failure to act resulting from Certificateholders' late
return of, or failure to return, directions requested by the Trustee from the
Certificateholders.

     In the event that an offer is made by the Underlying Securities Issuer to
issue new obligations in exchange and substitution for any of the Underlying
Securities, pursuant to a plan for the refunding or refinancing of the
outstanding Underlying Securities or any other offer is made for the
Underlying Securities, the Trustee shall notify the Class A-1
Certificateholders and Class A-2 Certificateholders of such offer promptly.
The Trustee must reject any such offer unless the Trustee is directed by the
affirmative vote of the holders of 100% of the Class A-1 Certificates and
Class A-2 Certificates to accept such offer and the Trustee has received the
tax opinion described above. If pursuant to the preceding sentence, the
Trustee accepts any such offer the Trustee shall promptly notify the Rating
Agencies.

     If an event of default under the Indenture occurs and is continuing, and
if directed by a majority of the outstanding Class A-1 Certificateholders and
Class A-2 Certificateholders, the Trustee shall vote the Underlying Securities
in favor of directing, or take such other action as may be appropriate to
direct, the Underlying Securities Trustee to declare the unpaid principal

Depositor and the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the
Trust Agreement at any time by the Depositor and the Trustee with the consent of
the Holders of Class A-1 Certificates in the manner set forth in the Series
Supplement and the Standard Terms. Any such consent by the Holder of this
Certificate (or any predecessor Certificate) shall be conclusive and binding on
such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any
Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu
hereof whether or not notation of such consent in made upon this Certificate.
The Trust Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited
circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only in denominations of

governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or
exchange of Certificates.

The Depositor and the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor or the Trustee may
treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner

agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

agrees to treat the Trust, any distributions therefrom and its beneficial
interest in the Certificates consistently with such characterization.

Trust Agreement with respect to the Certificates shall terminate upon the
earliest to occur of (i) the payment in full at maturity or sale by the Trust

Depositor and the Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the
Trust Agreement at any time by the Depositor and the Trustee with the consent of
the holders of Class A-2 Certificates in the manner set forth in the Series

Certificate (or any predecessor Certificate) shall be conclusive and binding on
such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any

The Certificates are issuable in fully registered form only in minimum principal

As provided in the Trust Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein

Registrar appointed under the Trust Agreement is U.S. Bank Trust National
Association.

No service charge will be made for any registration of transfer or exchange, but
the Trustee may require exchange of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or
exchange of Certificates.

The Depositor and the Trustee and any agent of the Depositor or the Trustee may
treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner
hereof for all purposes, and neither the Depositor, the Trustee, nor any such
agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

thereunder shall constitute a fixed investment trust for federal income tax
purposes under Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-4, and the Certificateholder
agrees to treat the Trust, any distributions therefrom and its beneficial
interest in the Certificates consistently with such characterization.

The Trust and the obligations of the Depositor and the Trustee created by the
Trust Agreement with respect to the Certificates shall terminate upon the

                             W I T N E S S E T H:

     WHEREAS, the Depositor created Corporate Backed Trust Certificates, Royal
Caribbean Debenture-Backed Series 2001-30 Trust (the "Trust"), a trust created
under the laws of the State of New York pursuant to a Standard Terms for Trust
Agreements, dated as of January 16, 2001 (the "Agreement"), between Lehman ABS

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual
covenants expressed herein, it is hereby agreed by and between the Depositor
and the Trustee that except as otherwise specified herein or as the context
may otherwise require, capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein
shall have the respective meanings set forth below for all purposes under the
Series Supplement, and as follows:

                                  ARTICLE I

                           Exercise of Call Warrants

     Section 1.1 Manner of Exercise. (a) Call Warrants may be exercised by any
holder thereof (each, a "Warrant Holder") in whole or in part on any Call
Date. The following conditions shall apply to any exercise of Call Warrants:

                    (i) A notice (each, a "Call Notice") specifying the number
               of Call Warrants being exercised and the Call Date shall be
               delivered to the Warrant Agent and the Trustee at least 5
               Business Days before such Call Date.

                    (ii) The Warrant Holder shall surrender the Call Warrants
               to the Warrant Agent at its office specified in Section 6.3
               hereof no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such
               Call Date.

<PAGE>

                    (iii) The Warrant Holder shall have made payment to the
               Warrant Agent, by wire transfer or other immediately available
               funds acceptable to the Warrant Agent, in the amount of the
               Call Price, no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on
               the Call Date.

                    (iv) The Warrant Holder shall exercise Call Warrants
               relating to Class A-1 Certificates and Call Warrants relating
               to Class A-2 Certificates which represent a like percentage of
               all Class A-1 Certificates and Class A-2 Certificates.

                    (v) The Warrant Holder may not exercise the Call Warrants
               at any time when such Warrant Holder is insolvent, and such
               Warrant Holder shall be required to certify that it is solvent
               at the time of exercise, by completing the Form of Subscription
               attached to the Call Warrants and delivering such completed
               Form of Subscription to the Trustee on or prior to the Call
               Date and by delivering to the Trustee a form reasonably
               satisfactory to the Trustee of the opinion and the solvency
               certificate required pursuant to Section 7(b)(ii) of the Series
               Supplement.

                    (vi) The Warrant Holder shall have satisfied any other
               conditions to the exercise of Call Warrants set forth in
               Section 7(b) of the Series Supplement.

          (b) Upon exercise of Call Warrants, any Warrant Holder other than
the Depositor or any Affiliate of the Depositor shall be entitled to delivery
of the Called Certificates. The "Called Certificates" shall be, in the case of
the Class A-1 Certificates, Class A-1 Certificates having a Certificate
Principal Amount equal to $10 per Call Warrant, and in the case of the Class
A-2 Certificates, Class A-2 Certificates having a Certificate Principal Amount

sale of the Called Underlying Securities and shall not be entitled to receive
the related Called Certificates. "Called Underlying Securities" are Underlying
Securities which represent the same percentage of the Underlying Securities as
the Called Certificates represent of the Class A-1 Certificates and Class A-2
Certificates.

          (c) The Warrant Agent shall notify the Trustee immediately upon its
receipt of a Call Notice and upon receipt of payment of the Call Price. The
Warrant Agent shall transfer the amount of any paid Call Price to the Trustee
in immediately available funds, for application pursuant to the Trust
Agreement on the applicable Call Date (and, pending such transfer, shall hold
such amount for the benefit of the Warrant Holder in a segregated trust
account).

          (d) Delivery of a Call Notice does not give rise to an obligation on
part of the Warrant Holder to pay the Call Price. If, by 10:00 a.m. (New York
City time) on the Call Date, the Warrant Holder has not paid the Call Price,
then the Call Notice shall automatically expire and none of the Warrant
Holder, the Warrant Agent or the Trustee shall have any obligation with
respect to the Call Notice. The expiration of a Call Notice shall in no way
affect the Warrant Holder's right to deliver a Call Notice at a later date.

     Section 1.2 Transfer of Certificates. As soon as practicable after each
surrender of Call Warrants in whole or in part on the Call Date and upon

          (a) if Call Warrants are being exercised by any Warrant Holder other
than the Depositor or any Affiliate of the Depositor, to cause the Called
Certificates to reflect the holder's beneficial ownership of such
Certificates, or

          (b) if the Call Warrants are being exercised by the Depositor or any
Affiliate of the Depositor, to cause the Called Underlying Securities to be
sold pursuant to Section 13 of the Series Supplement and to distribute the
proceeds of such sale to the Warrant Holder.

     If such exercise is in part only, the Warrant Agent shall instruct the
Trustee to authenticate new Call Warrants of like tenor, representing the
outstanding Call Warrants of the Warrant Holder and the Warrant Agent shall
deliver such Call Warrants to the Warrant Holder.

     Section 1.3 Cancellation and Destruction of Call Warrants. All Call
Warrants surrendered to the Warrant Agent for the purpose of exercise (in
whole or in part) pursuant to Section 1.1 and actually exercised, or for the
purpose of transfer or exchange pursuant to Article III, shall be cancelled by
the Warrant Agent, and no Call Warrant shall be issued in lieu thereof. The
Warrant Agent shall destroy all cancelled Call Warrants.

     Section 1.4 No Rights as Holder of Certificates Conferred by Call
Warrants. Prior to the exercise thereof, Call Warrants shall not entitle the
Warrant Holder to any of the rights of a holder of the Certificates,
including, without limitation, the right to receive the payment of any amount
on or in respect of the Certificates or to enforce any of the covenants of the
Trust Agreement.

                                  ARTICLE II

                           Restrictions on Transfer

     Section 2.1 Restrictive Legends. Except as otherwise permitted by this
Article II, each Call Warrant (including each Call Warrant issued upon the
transfer of any Call Warrant) shall be issued with a legend in substantially
the following form:

     "This Call Warrant has not been registered under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and may not be transferred, sold or otherwise disposed of
except while a registration under such Act is in effect or pursuant to an
exemption therefrom under such Act. The Call Warrant represented hereby may be
transferred only in compliance with the conditions specified in the Call
Warrants."

     Section 2.2 Notice of Proposed Transfer; Opinions of Counsel. Prior to
any transfer of any Call Warrant or portion thereof, the Warrant Holder will
give 5 Business Days (or such lesser period acceptable to the Warrant Agent)
prior written notice to the Warrant Agent of such Warrant Holder's intention
to effect such transfer.

                                 ARTICLE III

               Registration and Transfer of Call Warrants, etc.

     Section 3.1 Warrant Register; Ownership of Call Warrants. The Warrant
Agent will keep a register in which the Warrant Agent will provide for the
registration of Call Warrants and the registration of transfers of Call
Warrants representing whole numbers of Call Warrants. The Trustee and the
Warrant Agent may treat the Person in whose name any Call Warrant is
registered on such register as the owner thereof for all purposes, and the
Trustee and the Warrant Agent shall not be affected by any notice to the
contrary.

     Section 3.2 Transfer and Exchange of Call Warrants. Upon surrender of any
Call Warrant for registration of transfer or for exchange to the Warrant
Agent, the Warrant Agent shall (subject to compliance with Article II) execute
and deliver, and cause the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, to execute and
deliver, in exchange therefor, a new Call Warrant of like tenor and evidencing
a like whole number of Call Warrants, in the name of such Warrant Holder or as
such Warrant Holder (upon payment by such Warrant Holder of any applicable
transfer taxes or government charges) may direct; provided that as a condition
precedent for transferring the Call Warrants, the prospective transferee shall
be required to deliver to the Trustee and the Depositor an executed copy of
the Investment Letter (set forth as Exhibit C to the Series Supplement).

     Section 3.3 Replacement of Call Warrants. Upon receipt of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the Warrant Agent of the loss, theft, destruction
or mutilation of any Call Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or
destruction of any Call Warrant, upon delivery of an indemnity bond in such
reasonable amount as the Warrant Agent may determine, or, in the case of any
such mutilation, upon the surrender of such Call Warrant for cancellation to
the Warrant Agent, the Warrant Agent shall execute and deliver, and cause the
Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, to execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a
new Call Warrant of like tenor bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding.

     Section 3.4 Execution and Delivery of Call Warrants by Trustee. The
Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, hereby agrees (subject to compliance with
Article II) to execute and deliver such new Call Warrants issued in accordance
with Section 1.2 or this Article III as the Warrant Agent shall request in
accordance herewith.

where necessary, verified and acknowledged, by the proper Person or Persons.

     Section 5.2 Duties of Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent undertakes only
the specific duties and obligations imposed hereunder upon the following terms
and conditions, by all of which the Depositor, the Trust, the Trustee and each
Warrant Holder shall be bound:

          (a) The Warrant Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be
legal counsel for the Depositor), and the opinion of such counsel shall be
full and complete authorization and protection to the Warrant Agent as to any
action taken or omitted by it in good faith and in accordance with such
opinion, provided the Warrant Agent shall have exercised reasonable care in
the selection by it of such counsel.

          (b) Whenever in the performance of its duties hereunder, the Warrant
Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that any fact or matter be proved
or established by the Depositor or the Trustee prior to taking or suffering
any action hereunder, such fact or matter may be deemed to be conclusively
proved and established by a Depositor Order or a certificate signed by a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee and delivered to the Warrant Agent; and
such certificate shall be full authorization to the Warrant Agent for any
action taken or suffered in good faith by it hereunder in reliance upon such
certificate.

          (c) The Warrant Agent shall be liable hereunder only for its own
negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.

          (d) The Warrant Agent shall not be liable for or by reason of any of
the statements of fact or recitals contained herein or be required to verify
the same, but all such statements and recitals are and shall be deemed to have
been made by the Trust and the Depositor only.

          (e) The Warrant Agent shall not have any responsibility in respect
of and makes no representation as to the validity of the Call Warrants or the
execution and delivery thereof (except the due execution hereof by the Warrant
Agent); nor shall it be responsible for any breach by the Trust of any
covenant or condition contained in the Call Warrants; nor shall it by any act
thereunder be deemed to make any representation or warranty as to the
Certificates to be purchased thereunder.

          (f) The Warrant Agent is hereby authorized and directed to accept
instructions with respect to the performance of its duties hereunder from the
Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer,
Chief Operating Officer, President, a Vice President, a Senior Vice President,
a Managing Director, its Treasurer, an Assistant Treasurer, its Secretary or
an Assistant Secretary of the Depositor, and any Responsible Officer of the
Trustee, and to apply to such officers for advice or instructions in
connection with its duties, and it shall not be liable for any action taken or
suffered to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with instructions of
any such officer.

                                      6

<PAGE>

          (g) The Warrant Agent and any shareholder, director, officer or
employee of the Warrant Agent may buy, sell or deal in any of the Call
Warrants or other securities of the Trust or otherwise act as fully and freely
as though it were not Warrant Agent hereunder, so long as such persons do so
in full compliance with all applicable laws. Nothing herein shall preclude the
Warrant Agent from acting in any other capacity for the Trust, the Depositor
or for any other legal entity.

          (h) The Warrant Agent may execute and exercise any of the rights or
powers hereby vested in it or perform any duty hereunder either itself or by
or through its attorneys or agents.

          (i) The Warrant Agent shall act solely as the agent of the Trust
hereunder. The Warrant Agent shall not be liable except for the failure to
perform such duties as are specifically set forth herein, and no implied
covenants or obligations shall be read into the Call Warrants against the
Warrant Agent, whose duties shall be determined solely by the express
provisions thereof. The Warrant Agent shall not be deemed to be a fiduciary.

          (j) The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for any failure on
the part of the Trustee to comply with any of its covenants and obligations
contained herein.

          (k) The Warrant Agent shall not be under any obligation or duty to
institute, appear in or defend any action, suit or legal proceeding in respect
hereof, unless first indemnified to its satisfaction, but this provision shall
not affect the power of the Warrant Agent to take such action as the Warrant
Agent may consider proper, whether with or without such indemnity. The Warrant
Agent shall promptly notify the Depositor and the Trustee in writing of any
claim made or action, suit or proceeding instituted against it arising out of
or in connection with the Call Warrants.

          (l) The Trustee will perform, execute, acknowledge and deliver or
cause to be performed, executed, acknowledged and delivered all such further
acts, instruments and assurances as may be required by the Warrant Agent in
order to enable it to carry out or perform its duties hereunder.

     Section 5.3 Change of Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent may resign and be
discharged from its duties hereunder upon thirty (30) days notice in writing
mailed to the Depositor and the Trustee by registered or certified mail, and
to the Warrant Holders by first-class mail at the expense of the Depositor;
provided that no such resignation or discharge shall become effective until a
successor Warrant Agent shall have been appointed hereunder. The Depositor may
remove the Warrant Agent or any successor Warrant Agent upon thirty (30) days
notice in writing, mailed to the Warrant Agent or successor Warrant Agent, as
the case may be, and to the Warrant Holders by first-class mail; provided
further that no such removal shall become effective until a successor Warrant
Agent shall have been appointed hereunder. If the Warrant Agent shall resign
or be removed or shall otherwise become incapable of acting, the Depositor
shall promptly appoint a successor to the Warrant Agent, which may be
designated as an interim Warrant Agent. If an interim Warrant Agent is
designated, the Depositor shall then appoint a permanent successor to the
Warrant Agent, which may be the interim Warrant Agent. If the Depositor shall
fail to make such appointment of a permanent successor within a period of

                                      7

<PAGE>

thirty (30) days after such removal or within sixty (60) days after
notification in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the resigning or
incapacitated Warrant Agent or by the Warrant Holder, then the Warrant Agent
or registered Warrant Holder may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction
for the appointment of such a successor. Any successor to the Warrant Agent
appointed hereunder must be rated in one of the four highest rating categories
by the Rating Agencies. Any entity which may be merged or consolidated with or
which shall otherwise succeed to substantially all of the trust or agency
business of the Warrant Agent shall be deemed to be the successor Warrant
Agent without any further action.

                                  ARTICLE VI

                                 Miscellaneous

     Section 6.1 Remedies. The remedies at law of the Warrant Holder in the
event of any default or threatened default by the Warrant Agent in the
performance of or compliance with any of the terms of the Call Warrants are
not and will not be adequate and, to the full extent permitted by law, such
terms may be specifically enforced by a decree for the specific performance of
any agreement contained herein or by an injunction against a violation of any
of the terms thereof or otherwise.

     Section 6.2 Limitation on Liabilities of Warrant Holder. Nothing
contained in this Warrant Agent Agreement shall be construed as imposing any
obligation on the Warrant Holder to purchase any of the Certificates except in
accordance with the terms thereof.

     Section 6.3 Notices. All notices and other communications under this
Warrant Agent Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered, or mailed
by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, by a nationally
recognized overnight courier, postage prepaid, addressed (a) if to any Warrant
Holder, at the registered address of such Warrant Holder as set forth in the
register kept by the Warrant Agent or (b) if to the Warrant Agent, to 100 Wall

the exercise of any Call Warrants shall be effective in the manner provided in
Article I.

     Section 6.4 Amendment. (a) This Warrant Agent Agreement may be amended
from time to time by the Depositor, the Trustee and the Warrant Agent without
the consent of any Warrant Holder, upon receipt of an opinion of counsel
satisfactory to the Warrant Agent that the provisions hereof have been
satisfied and that such amendment would not alter the status of the Trust as a
grantor trust under the Code, for any of the following purposes: (i) to cure
any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision herein which may be
defective or inconsistent with any other provision herein or to provide for
any other terms or modify any other provisions with respect to matters or
questions arising under the Call Warrant which shall not adversely affect in
any material respect the interests of the Warrant Holder or any holder of a
Certificate or (ii) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment
hereunder of a Warrant Agent other than U.S. Bank Trust National Association.

          (a) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Call
Warrants may also be modified or amended from time to time by the Depositor,
the Trustee and the Warrant Agent with the consent of Warrant Holders of
66-2/3% of each of the Call Warrants related to the Class A-1 Certificates and
the Call Warrants related to the Class A-2 Certificates, upon receipt of an
opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Warrant Agent that the provisions
hereof (including, without limitation, the following proviso) have seen
satisfied, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any
manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Call Warrants or of
modifying in any manner the rights of the Warrant Holders; provided, however,
that no such amendment shall (i) adversely affect in any material respect the
interests of holders of Certificates without the consent of the holders of
Certificates evidencing not less than the Required Percentage-Amendment of the
aggregate Voting Rights of such affected Certificates (as such terms are
defined in the Trust Agreement) and without written confirmation from the
Rating Agencies that such amendment will not result in a downgrading or
withdrawal of its rating of the Certificates; (ii) alter the terms on which
Call Warrants are exercisable or the amounts payable upon exercise of a
Warrant without the consent of the holders of Certificates evidencing not less
than 100% of the aggregate Voting Rights of such affected Certificates and
100% of the affected Warrant Holders or (iii) reduce the percentage of
aggregate Voting Rights required by (i) or (ii) without the consent of the
holders of all such affected Certificates. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Warrant, this Section 6.4(a) shall not be amended without the consent
of 100% of the affected Warrant Holders.

          (b) Promptly after the execution of any such amendment or
modification, the Warrant Agent shall furnish a copy of such amendment or
modification to each Warrant Holder, to the Trustee and to the Rating
Agencies. It shall not be necessary for the consent of Warrant Holders or
holders of Certificates under this Section to approve the particular form of
any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall
approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of
evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof shall be subject to such
reasonable regulations as the Warrant Agent may prescribe.

     Section 6.5 Expiration. The right to exercise the Call Warrants shall
expire on the earliest to occur of (a) the cancellation thereof, (b) the
termination of the Trust Agreement, (c) the liquidation, disposition, or
maturity of all of the Certificates, or (d) the occurrence of an Event of
Default under the Trust Agreement.

     Section 6.6 Descriptive Headings. The headings in this Warrant Agent
Agreement are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise
affect the meaning hereof.

     Section 6.7 GOVERNING LAW. THIS CALL WARRANT SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND
ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES SHALL BE GOVERNED
BY, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT

brought against the Trust, the Trustee or the Warrant Agent with respect to
this Warrant Agent Agreement may be brought in any court of competent
jurisdiction in the County of New York, State of New York or of the United
States of America for the Southern District of New York

nonexclusive jurisdiction of such courts and any related appellate court, and

bound by any judgment rendered thereby in connection with this Warrant Agent
Agreement or the Call Warrants, subject to any rights of appeal, and (b)
irrevocably waive any objection that the Trust, the Trustee or the Warrant
Agent may now or hereafter have as to the venue of any such suit, action or

Holder by its acceptance thereof, and (ii) the Warrant Agent agrees, that it
shall not (and, in the case of the Warrant Holder, that it shall not direct
the Warrant Agent to), until the date which is one year and one day after the
payment in full of the Certificates and all other securities issued by the

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     In connection with our proposed purchase of ___________ Call Warrants
(the "Call Warrants") representing an interest in the Corporate Backed Trust
Certificates, Royal Caribbean Debenture-Backed Series 2001-30 Trust (the
"Trust"), the investor on whose behalf the undersigned is executing this
letter (the "Purchaser") confirms that:

     (1) Reference is made to the Prospectus Supplement, dated July 20, 2001
(the "Prospectus Supplement"), with respect to the Certificates to which the
Call Warrants relate. Capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise
defined shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Prospectus Supplement.
The Purchaser has received a copy of the Prospectus Supplement and such other
information as the Purchaser deems necessary in order to make its investment
decision and the Purchaser has been provided the opportunity to ask questions
of, and receive answers from, the Depositor and the Underwriters, concerning
the terms and conditions of the Call Warrants. The Purchaser has received and
understands the above, and understands that substantial risks are involved in
an investment in the Call Warrants. The Purchaser represents that in making
its investment decision to acquire the Call Warrants, the Purchaser has not
relied on representations, warranties, opinions, projections, financial or
other information or analysis, if any, supplied to it by any person, including
you, the Depositor or the Trustee or any of your or their affiliates, except
as expressly contained in the Prospectus Supplement and in the other written
information, if any, discussed above. The Purchaser has such knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating
the merits and risks of an investment in the Call Warrants, and the Purchaser
is able to bear the substantial economic risks of such an investment. The
Purchaser has relied upon its own tax, legal and financial advisors in
connection with its decision to purchase the Call Warrants.

     (2) The Purchaser is (A) a "Qualified Institutional Buyer" (as defined in
Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act")) and
(B) acquiring the Call Warrants for

                                     C-1
<PAGE>

its own account or for the account of an investor of the type described in
clause (A) above as to each of which the Purchaser exercises sole investment
discretion. The Purchaser is purchasing the Call Warrants for investment
purposes and not with a view to, or for, the offer or sale in connection with,
a public distribution or in any other manner that would violate the 1933 Act
or the securities or blue sky laws of any state.

     (3) The Purchaser understands that the Call Warrants have not been and
will not be registered under the 1933 Act or under the securities or blue sky
laws of any state, and that (i) if it decides to resell, pledge or otherwise
transfer any Call Warrant, such Call Warrant may be resold, pledged or
transferred without registration only to an entity that has delivered to the
Depositor and the Trustee a certification that it is a Qualified Institutional
Buyer that purchases (1) for its own account or (2) for the account of such a
Qualified Institutional Buyer, that is, in either case, aware that the resale,
pledge or transfer is being made in reliance on said Rule 144A and (ii) it
will, and each subsequent holder will be required to, notify any purchaser of
any Call Warrant from it of the resale restrictions referred to in clause (i)
above.

     (4) The Purchaser understands that each of the Call Warrants will bear a
legend to the following effect, unless otherwise agreed by the Depositor and
the Trustee:

     "THIS CALL WARRANT HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF
EXCEPT WHILE A REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT IS IN EFFECT OR PURSUANT TO AN
EXEMPTION THEREFROM UNDER SUCH ACT. THIS CALL WARRANT REPRESENTED HEREBY MAY
BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE CONDITIONS SPECIFIED IN THIS CALL
WARRANT."

     (5) The Purchaser understands that no subsequent transfer of the Call
Warrants is permitted unless it causes its proposed transferee to provide to
the Depositor and the initial Warrant Holder a letter substantially in the
form of Exhibit C to the Series Supplement, as applicable, or such other
written statement as the Depositor shall prescribe.

     (6) The Purchaser agrees that if at some time in the future it wishes to
transfer or exchange any of the Call Warrants, it will not transfer or
exchange any of the Call Warrants unless such transfer or exchange is in
accordance with Section 3.2 of the Warrant Agent Agreement. The Purchaser
understands that any purported transfer of the Call Warrants (or any interest
therein) in contravention of any of the restrictions and conditions in the
Trust Agreement, as applicable, shall be void, and the purported transferee in
such transfer shall not be recognized by the Trust or any other Person as a
Warrant Holder.

<PAGE>

                           (ii)  Condition  of Initial  Properties.  Each of the
                  Initial  Properties is in good working order and repair and in
                  substantial  compliance  with the  Systems  Standards  and the
                  requirements  of  the  applicable   Franchise   Agreement  and
                  Management Agreement to be entered into by Tenant with respect
                  to such Initial Property.

                           (iii)  Employees.  The Marriott  Parties  acknowledge
                  that the Marriott  Parties shall be responsible for payment of
                  all wages and  salaries  payable  to,  and all  vacation  pay,
                  pension and welfare benefits and other fringe benefits accrued
                  with  respect  to all  individuals  employed  at such  Initial
                  Property relating to the period prior to the Closing Date with
                  respect to such Initial  Property and the Manager with respect
                  to such Initial  Property shall be responsible  for payment of
                  all such wages,  salaries and benefits  relating to the period
                  commencing  on and from the Closing  Date with respect to such
                  Initial  Property.  At no time  hereunder,  upon and after the
                  Closing  Date on which the Initial  Lease with respect to such
                  Initial  Property is assigned to New Tenant,  shall any of the
                  employees at such Initial Property (including any employees of
                  any manager  thereof),  be or be deemed to be the employees of
                  the HPT  Parties,  or be deemed to be  transferred  to the HPT
                  Parties.  If required,  each  applicable  Marriott  Party will
                  comply with the notice and other requirements under the Worker
                  Adjustment  Retraining and  Notification Act ("WARN Act"), the
                  Consolidated  Omnibus Budget  Reconciliation  Act ("COBRA") or
                  any similar  state or local  legislation  with respect to such
                  employee matters,  and such obligation shall survive each such
                  Closing,  notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the WARN
                  Act.  Because  the HPT Parties at no time will be or be deemed
                  to be the employer of the  employees at any Initial  Property,
                  it is expressly understood and agreed that the HPT Parties are
                  not and  shall  not be  responsible  or  liable,  directly  or
                  indirectly,  for  the  payment  of  any  benefits,   severance
                  liability, compensation, pay or other obligations, of whatever
                  nature,  due or  alleged  to be due  to  any  employee  at the
                  Initial Property  including  employees of any manager thereof,
                  or of such Marriott Party  attributable  to any time period up
                  to, upon and after the Closing Date on which the Initial Lease
                  with  respect to such  Initial  Property  is  assigned  to New
                  Tenant. Similarly, there shall be no union agreements, pension
                  plans,  health plans,  benefit  plans,  deferred  compensation
                  plans, bonus plans or vacation plans or similar agreements for
                  or concerning  such employees  which shall be binding upon the
                  HPT Parties.

                           (iv) FF&E, FAS and  Inventories.  Each Initial Tenant
                  has good and marketable title to the FF&E, FAS and Inventories
                  located  on or used in  connection  with  each of the  Initial
                  Properties,  and to the Marriott  Parties'  Knowledge  Group's
                  knowledge,  such FF&E, FAS and Inventories  have not been used
                  prior to their use at such Initial Property.

                           (v) System Standards.  The FF&E, FAS, Inventories and
                  Working  Capital  located at or otherwise  used in  connection
                  with each Initial Property (i) comply in all material respects
                  with the System  Standards  and with the  requirements  of the
                  applicable  Franchise Agreement and the applicable

                                      -15-
<PAGE>

                  Management  Agreement  for such Initial  Property and (ii) and
                  otherwise,  in the Marriott Parties' best reasonable judgment,
                  adequate, appropriate and at levels that are at least equal to
                  those found at other similarly  situated hotels  comparable to
                  such Initial Property.

                  (l) Title to Initial  Leases.  Neither of the Initial  Tenants
         has assigned all or any of portion of its right,  title and interest in
         and to its Initial  Leases to any other entity  except  pursuant to the
         terms  hereof.  Neither  Initial  Tenant  has  subleased  or  otherwise
         transferred or encumbered any portion of its Initial  Properties to any
         other  entity  except  pursuant to the terms  hereof.  Neither  Initial
         Tenant has  taken,  nor has such  Initial  Tenant  failed to take,  any
         actions that could result in a lien, claim or encumbrance  being placed
         on or filed against its Initial Leases or Initial Properties or against
         its right,  title and  interest  to the  Initial  Leases or the Initial
         Properties,  except for any liens,  claims and  encumbrances  that have
         been  previously  approved by HPTMI (or its  predecessor  in  interest)
         under, and in accordance with, the Initial Leases.

                  (m) No Defaults  under the  Initial  Leases.  There  exists no
         default nor state of facts which,  with the giving of notice and/or the
         passage of time,  would  constitute a default  under any of the Initial
         Leases  on  the  part  of  the  Initial  Tenant  which  is  the  tenant
         thereunder.  To the knowledge of the Marriott Parties' Knowledge Group,
         there  exists no default nor state of facts  which,  with the giving of
         notice and/or the passage of time, would constitute a default under any
         of the Initial Leases on the part of HPTMI.

                  (n) Ordinary Course. As of the Closing Date for each Property,
         Manager  and the  Initial  Tenants  shall have  operated,  managed  and
         otherwise  dealt  with  each  Property  then  closing  in its usual and
         customary  manner  in the  ordinary  course  and in a  manner  which is
         otherwise  substantially  consistent  with the  terms of the  Franchise
         Agreement and the Management Agreement applicable to such Property.

                  (o) Consents Required Under Management Agreements. Between the
         Effective  Date and the Closing Date for each Initial  Property  (other
         than those  Initial  Properties  which shall close on the First Closing
         Date),  neither  MI nor the  applicable  Manager  shall  have  taken or
         approved any action  affecting  such Initial  Property which would have
         required the consent of the New Tenant under the applicable  Management
         Agreement had such Management  Agreement been in effect with respect to
         such Initial  Property,  without the consent of the New Tenant (and the
         standard  for the New Tenant's  granting of such  consent  shall be the
         same  standard  as would have been  applicable  under  such  Management
         Agreement).

The  Marriott  Parties'  liability  with  respect  to  the  representations  and
warranties set forth in this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date.

         11. Additional Obligations of HPT Parties.

                  (a)  Deliveries  for the First  Closing  Date.  Subject to the
         satisfaction  of the  conditions  set forth in Section 13, on or before

                                      -16-

         17. Default.

                  (a) Default by HPT  Parties.  If any HPT Party shall have made
         any  representation  or  warranty  herein  which shall be untrue in any
         material respect when made or at the time of any Closing, or if any HPT
         Party  shall  fail  to  perform  any of the  covenants  and  agreements
         contained  herein to be performed by it and such failure shall continue
         for a period of ten (10) days after  notice  thereof  from any Marriott
         Party (or such additional  period, not to extend beyond March 31, 2002,
         as may be reasonably  required to cure the same),  the Marriott Parties
         may  terminate  this  Agreement  and/or  pursue  any and  all  remedies

         suit for specific  performance  or other  equitable  relief;  provided,
         however,   that  in  no  event  shall  any  HPT  Party  be  liable  for
         consequential  damages.  It is understood and agreed that, for purposes
         of this Section,  if a default results from a false  representation  or
         warranty, such default shall be deemed cured if the events, conditions,
         acts or  omissions  giving rise to the  falsehood  are cured within the
         applicable  cure  period  event  though,  as a technical  matter,  such
         representation or warranty was false as of the date actually made.

                  (b) Default by Marriott  Parties.  If any Marriott Party shall
         have made any  representation  or warranty herein which shall be untrue
         in any material respect when made or at the time of each Closing, or if
         any  Marriott  Party  shall fail to perform  any of the  covenants  and
         agreements  contained herein to be performed by such Marriott Party and
         such  failure  continues  for a period  of ten (10) days  after  notice
         thereof from any HPT Party (or such  additional  period,  not to extend
         beyond March 31, 2002, as may be reasonably required to cure the same),
         or if there shall be a default by the tenant  under any  Initial  Lease
         beyond any  applicable  notice and cure  period,  the HPT  Parties  may
         terminate this Agreement  and/or pursue any and all remedies  available
         to them at law or in equity,  including, but not limited to, a suit for
         specific performance or other equitable relief; provided, however, that
         in no event  shall the  Marriott  Parties be liable  for  consequential
         damages.  It is  understood  and  agreed  that,  for  purposes  of this
         Section, if a default results from a false  representation or warranty,
         such default shall be deemed cured if the events,  conditions,  acts or
         omissions  giving rise to the falsehood are cured within the applicable
         cure period even though, as a technical matter,  such representation or
         warranty was false as of the date actually made.

         18. Apportionments.

                  (a)  At  the  Closing  for  each   Property,   the   following
         adjustments  and prorations  shall be computed as of 12:01 a.m.  (local
         time at the Property) on the day after the Closing Date ("Apportionment
         Time") for such  Property.  All items of  revenue,  cost and expense of
         such  Property  with respect to the period  prior to the  Apportionment
         Time shall be for the account of MI and the  Manager of such  Property.
         All items of revenue, cost and expense of such Property with respect to
         the  period  from and after  the  Apportionment  Time  shall be for the
         account of the New Tenant.  All adjustments and

                                      -26-
<PAGE>

         prorations  shall be on an accrual basis in accordance  with  generally
         accepted  accounting  principles,  and otherwise in accordance with the
         requirements set forth in Exhibit I.

                  (b)  At  each  Closing,   a  fair  and  reasonable   estimated
         accounting of all  adjustments  and  prorations  shall be performed and
         agreed  to by MI,  the  Manager  for such  Property,  HPTMI and the New
         Tenant. Subsequent final adjustments and payments (the "True-up") shall
         be made  in  cash  or  other  immediately  available  funds  as soon as
         practicable  after the Closing  Date for such  Property,  based upon an
         accounting performed by the Manager for such Property and acceptable to
         HPTMI and the New Tenant. In the event the parties have not agreed with
         respect to the adjustments required to be made pursuant to this Section
         18(b),   upon  application  by  any  such  party,  a  certified  public
         accountant  reasonably acceptable to the parties hereto shall determine
         any such  adjustments  which have not theretofore been agreed to by the
         parties hereto.  The charges for such accountant shall be borne equally
         by the parties to such disputed adjustment.  All adjustments to be made
         as a result of the final  results of the  True-up  shall be paid to the
         party  entitled to such  adjustment  within  thirty (30) days after the
         final determination thereof.

         The provisions of this Section 18 shall survive each Closing.

         19. Survival.  All representations,  warranties and covenants set forth
in this Agreement shall survive each Closing.

         20. Brokerage Commissions. Each of the parties hereto represents to the
other  parties that it dealt with no broker,  finder or like agent in connection
with  this  Agreement  or the  transactions  contemplated  hereby,  and  that it
reasonably  believes  that  there is no basis for any other  person or entity to
claim a commission or other  compensation  for bringing  about this Agreement or
the transactions  contemplated  hereby. The HPT Parties shall indemnify and hold
harmless the Marriott Parties, and their respective successors and assigns, from
and against any loss,  liability  or expense,  including  reasonable  attorneys'
fees,  arising out of any claim or claims for commissions or other  compensation
for bringing about this Agreement or the transactions  contemplated  hereby made
by any broker,  finder or like agent, if such claim or claims are based in whole
or in part on dealings with any of the HPT Parties.  The Marriott  Parties shall
indemnify and hold harmless the HPT Parties, and their respective successors and
assigns,  from and against any loss, liability or expense,  including reasonable
attorneys'  fees,  arising out of any claim or claims for  commissions  or other
compensation for bringing about this Agreement or the transactions  contemplated
hereby  made by any broker,  finder or like  agent,  if such claim or claims are
based in whole or in part on dealings with any of the Marriott Parties.  Nothing
contained  in this  Section 20 shall be deemed to create any rights in any third
party. The provisions of this Section 20 shall survive the Closings hereunder
and any termination of this Agreement.

         21. Miscellaneous.

                  (a) Merger.  CRTM17  hereby  acknowledges  that, in connection
         with the  transactions  contemplated  under this Agreement,  HPT caused

         Tenant  pursuant to the terms  hereof (and after  giving  effect to any
         amendments  contemplated hereby) as a single master lease. The Marriott
         Parties  shall not  object to any such  restatement  provided  that the
         terms  thereof  are  substantially  identical  to  the  terms  of  such
         Additional Leases and Initial Leases as aforesaid.

                  (c) Confirmation of Indemnification  Agreements.  The Marriott
         Parties  hereby  acknowledge  and agree  that the  consummation  of the
         transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall not affect the rights
         or the  obligations  of the HPT Parties or the Marriott  Parties as set
         forth in (i) that  certain  Indemnification  Agreement,  dated April 3,
         1997, by Courtyard  and  Residence  Inn for the benefit of HPTMI;  (ii)

         Indemnification  Agreement,  dated March 26, 1999,  by  TownePlace  and
         CRTM17 for the benefit of HPTMI III Properties Trust.

                  (d)  Expenses.  Each party  shall bear the cost and expense of
         its  legal  counsel  in  connection  with  the   consummation  of  this
         transaction.   All  other  costs  and  expenses   associated  with  the
         transaction   contemplated   hereby,   including  without   limitation,
         recording fees and taxes,  transfer fees,  local counsel fees and other
         costs and expenses shall be shared by the Marriott  Parties and the HPT
         Parties.

                  (e)  Publicity.  The parties  agree that no party shall,  with
         respect to this  Agreement and the  transactions  contemplated  hereby,
         contact or conduct negotiations with public officials,  make any public
         pronouncements,  issue press releases or otherwise furnish  information
         regarding this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby to any
         third party without the consent of the other party, which consent shall
         not  be  unreasonably  withheld,  delayed  or  conditioned,  except  as
         required  by law or  unless  such  action  is taken  based on advice of
         counsel given in good faith, and except as may be reasonably necessary,
         on a  confidential  basis,  to inform  any rating  agencies,  potential
         sources  of  financing,   financial  analyst,   or  to  receive  legal,
         accounting and/or tax advice. No party shall trade in the securities of
         HPT or of any  affiliate  of HPT  until a  public  announcement  of the
         transactions contemplated by this Agreement has been made.

                  (f)  Performance  on Business  Days.  In the event the date on
         which  performance  or payment of any  obligation  of a party  required
         hereunder  is other  than a  Business  Day,  the time  for  payment  or
         performance  shall be extended  automatically to the first Business Day
         following such date.

                  (g)  Applicable  Law.  This  Agreement  shall be  interpreted,
         construed,  applied  and  enforced in  accordance  with the laws of the

         where this  Agreement is executed or delivered,  (ii) where any payment
         or other performance  required by this Agreement is made or required to
         be made,  (iii)  where any breach of any  provision  of this  Agreement
         occurs, or any cause of action

                                      -28-

         otherwise  accrues,  (iv)  where  any  action  or other  proceeding  is
         instituted  or pending,  (v) the  nationality,  citizenship,  domicile,
         principal  place  of  business,  or  jurisdiction  of  organization  or
         domestication  of any  party,  (vi)  whether  the  laws  of  the  forum
         jurisdiction  otherwise  would apply the laws of a  jurisdiction  other
         than the State of Maryland, or (vii) any combination of the foregoing.

                  To the maximum extent  permitted by applicable law, any action
         to  enforce,  arising  out of, or  relating  in any way to,  any of the
         provisions of this  Agreement  shall be brought and  prosecuted in such
         court or courts located in the State of Maryland as is provided by law;
         and the  parties  consent to the  jurisdiction  of said court or courts
         located  in  the  State  of  Maryland  and to  service  of  process  by
         registered  mail,  return  receipt  requested,  or by any other  manner
         provided by law.

                  (h)  Modification  of Agreement.  No modification or waiver of
         any  provision of this  Agreement,  nor any consent to any departure by
         any party  therefrom,  shall in any event be effective  unless the same
         shall be in writing  and signed by the parties to this  Agreement,  and
         such  modification,  waiver or consent  shall be effective  only in the
         specific  instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or
         demand on any party in any case shall  entitle  such party to any other
         or   further   notice  or  demand  in  the  same,   similar   or  other
         circumstances.

                  (i) Waiver of Rights. Neither any failure nor any delay on the
         part of any party in exercising any right,  power,  or privilege  under
         this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or
         partial  exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise or the
         exercise of any right, power or privilege.

                  (j)  Severability.  In case any one or more of the  provisions
         contained in this Agreement should be invalid, illegal or unenforceable
         in any  respect,  the  validity,  legality  and  enforceability  of the
         remaining  provisions  contained therein or herein shall not in any way
         be affected or impaired  thereby and this Agreement  shall thereupon be
         reformed and construed and enforced to the maximum extent  permitted by
         applicable law.

                  (k) Entire  Agreement.  This Agreement,  including all annexes
         and  exhibits  hereto,  constitutes  the entire  agreement  between the
         parties  hereto with respect to the subject  matter  hereof and thereof
         and  shall  supersede  and take  the  place  of any  other  instruments
         purporting  to be an  agreement of the parties  hereto  relating to the
         transactions  contemplated hereby, including,  without limitation,  any
         letter of intent or commitment letter.

                  (l) Counterparts;  Headings. This Agreement may be executed in
         two or more  counterparts,  each of which shall constitute an original,
         but which, when taken together, shall constitute but one instrument and
         shall become effective as of the date hereof when copies hereof, which,
         when taken together,  bear the signatures of each of the parties hereto
         shall have been signed.  Headings in this Agreement are for purposes of
         reference  only and  shall  not  limit or  affect  the  meaning  of the
         provisions hereof.

                  and against any and all obligations,  claims, losses, damages,
                  liabilities,  and  expenses  (including,  without  limitation,
                  reasonable attorneys' and accountants' fees and disbursements)
                  arising out of (i) any  assessment  imposed  upon any Property
                  for improvements  commenced prior to the Closing Date for such
                  Property  which are not  otherwise  reflected in the pro forma

                  or obligations  accruing prior to the applicable  Closing Date
                  under any  contract  of the  Marriott  Parties  (except to the
                  extent of any  adjustment  made in respect of such contract at
                  Closing under this Agreement),  or (iii) any claim against any
                  of the HPT  Parties for damage to property of others or injury
                  to or death of any  person or any debts or  obligations  of or
                  against and arising out of any event  occurring on or about or
                  in  connection  with the  applicable  Property  or any portion
                  thereof,  at any time or times prior to the applicable Closing
                  Date and (b) the HPT Parties shall indemnify,  defend and hold
                  harmless  the  Marriott  Parties  from and against any and all
                  obligations,   claims,  losses,  damages,   liabilities,   and
                  expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys'
                  and accountants'  fees and  disbursements)  arising out of any
                  material breach of a representation or warranty made by any of
                  the HPT Parties under this Agreement.  The indemnity  provided
                  for in this Section 21(p) (other than the  indemnity  provided
                  with  respect to a breach of any  representation  or warranty)
                  shall not extend to any  consequential  damages.  Nothing  set
                  forth  in this  Section  21(p)  shall  modify  or  affect  the

                  otherwise  of the  existence  of any  liability  for which any
                  other party is or may be responsible under this Agreement, the
                  party  learning  of such  liability  shall  notify each of the
                  other parties  promptly and furnish  copies of such  documents
                  (and  make  originals   thereof   available)  and  such

                                      -30-
<PAGE>

                  other  information  as such party may have that may be used or
                  useful in the  defense of such  claims and shall  afford  said
                  other party or parties full  opportunity to defend the same in
                  the name of such party and shall generally cooperate with said
                  other party or parties in the defense of any such claim.

                           (iii) The  provisions  of this  Section  21(p)  shall
                  survive the Closings  hereunder  and the  termination  of this
                  Agreement.

                  (q)  NONLIABILITY  OF  TRUSTEES.  THE  DECLARATIONS  OF  TRUST
         ESTABLISHING EACH OF HPT AND HPTMI, COPIES OF WHICH,  TOGETHER WITH ALL
         AMENDMENTS  THERETO  (EACH A  "DECLARATION"),  ARE DULY  FILED WITH THE

         PROVIDE  THAT THE  NAME  "HOSPITALITY  PROPERTIES  TRUST",  AND  "HPTMI
         PROPERTIES  TRUST" (AS  APPLICABLE)  REFER TO THE  TRUSTEES  UNDER SUCH
         DECLARATION   COLLECTIVELY  AS  TRUSTEES,   BUT  NOT   INDIVIDUALLY  OR
         PERSONALLY,  AND THAT NO  TRUSTEE,  OFFICER,  SHAREHOLDER,  EMPLOYEE OR
         AGENT OF HPT OR HPTMI  (AS  APPLICABLE)  SHALL BE HELD TO ANY  PERSONAL
         LIABILITY,  JOINTLY  OR  SEVERALLY,  FOR ANY  OBLIGATION  OF,  OR CLAIM
         AGAINST, HPT OR HPTMI (AS APPLICABLE).  ALL PERSONS DEALING WITH HPT OR
         HPTMI (AS APPLICABLE), IN ANY WAY, SHALL LOOK ONLY TO THE ASSETS OF HPT
         OR HPTMI (AS  APPLICABLE) FOR THE PAYMENT OF ANY SUM OR THE PERFORMANCE

         current Term of this Agreement (Fixed or Extended, as the case may be),
         that  Tenant  elects not so to extend the term of this  Agreement  (and
         time  shall  be of the  essence  with  respect  to the  giving  of such
         Notice).

         7. Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 6 of this Agreement to
the contrary, the first paragraph of Section 2.4 of the First Closing Leases for
the Leased  Properties  located in  California  is deleted in its  entirety  and
replaced with the following:

         2.4  Extended  Term.  Provided  that no Event  of  Default  shall  have
         occurred and be continuing,  the Term shall be  automatically  extended
         for  one (1)  consecutive  renewal  term of  fifteen  (15)  years  (the
         "Extended Term"), unless Tenant shall give Landlord Notice, in Tenant's
         sole and absolute discretion, not later than two (2) years prior to the
         scheduled  expiration of the Fixed Term of this Agreement,  that Tenant
         elects not so to extend the term of this  Agreement  (and time shall be
         of the essence with respect to the giving of such Notice).

         8.  Notwithstanding  anything  contained in Section  3.1.2 of the First
Closing Leases,  so long as the applicable  Management  Agreement or the Pooling
Agreement is in effect with respect to the Leased  Property  demised  under such
First Closing Lease,  Tenant shall pay Additional Rent to Landlord promptly upon
Tenant's  receipt of its payment of Tenant's  Second Priority (as defined in the
applicable  Management  Agreement)  or Aggregate  Tenant's  Second  Priority (as
defined in the Pooling Agreement).

         9. A new Section 3.1.4 is added to each of the First Closing Leases, as
follows:

                  3.1.4  Periodic  Adjustments  to Minimum  Rent and  Additional
         Rent.  Commencing  on July  31,  2005 and on  every  fifth  anniversary
         thereof  throughout  the Term (each such date being a "Rent  Adjustment
         Date"),  the Minimum Rent and Additional  Rent shall be adjusted to the
         fair  market  fixed rent and  percentage  rent,  respectively,  for the
         Leased  Property  for the  five-year  period  commencing  on such  Rent
         Adjustment  Date.  If Landlord  and Tenant fail to agree upon such fair
         market rents by the applicable Rent Adjustment  Date, then, at any time
         after such Rent  Adjustment  Date, the Minimum Rent and Additional Rent
         for the five-year period  commencing on such Rent Adjustment Date shall
         be finally  determined by arbitration in accordance  with Section 19.2.
         If the Minimum Rent or Additional Rent for any such five-year period is
         not determined  prior to any Rent Adjustment Date as aforesaid,  Tenant
         shall  continue  to pay  Minimum  Rent  and  Additional  Rent at  their
         then-current rates and Landlord and Tenant shall make appropriate "true
         up" adjustments promptly after the Minimum Rent and Additional Rent are
         finally determined in accordance with such arbitration as aforesaid.

         10.  Notwithstanding  the  terms of  Section  3.2 of each of the  First
Closing Leases,  no late charge shall be due from Tenant if Tenant shall fail to
pay Minimum Rent or  Additional  Rent when due,  provided that  Aggregate  Gross
Revenues (as defined in the Pooling Agreement)

                                       -3-
<PAGE>

and/or Gross  Revenues (as defined in the applicable  Management  Agreement) are
applied in accordance with the terms of the Pooling Agreement or such Management
Agreement.

         11.  Section 3.5 of each of the First Closing  Leases is deleted in its
entirety and replaced with the following:

                  3.5 Security for Tenant's Performance.  As additional security
         for the  performance  of  Tenant's  obligations  under this  Agreement,
         Tenant  hereby  grants to Landlord a lien upon and a security  interest
         in, all of  Tenant's  right,  title and  interest  in, to and under the
         following,  whether now  existing  or  hereafter  acquired,  created or
         arising (the "Collateral"):  the Guaranty, the Holdback Agreement,  the
         Management  Agreement  and the  Pooling  Agreement,  as the same may be
         amended or otherwise  modified  from time to time,  including,  without
         limitation (i) all rights of Tenant to receive moneys due and to become
         due under or  pursuant to any of the  foregoing,  (ii) claims of Tenant
         for damages arising out of or for breach of or default under any of the
         foregoing,  (iii)  the  right of  Tenant to  exercise  any  rights  and
         remedies  under the  foregoing,  and (iv) to the extent not included in
         the  foregoing,  all proceeds of any and all of the  foregoing.  Tenant
         shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord financing statements
         and  any  other  documents  submitted  to  Tenant  in  form  reasonably
         acceptable to Tenant evidencing or establishing such liens and security
         interests.  In addition to and without  limiting the foregoing,  Tenant
         shall deliver original  counterparts of any of the foregoing  documents
         to Landlord  promptly upon  Landlord's  request  therefor to be held by
         Landlord as security in accordance with the terms of this Section.

         12.  Section  5.1.2(f)  of  each of the  Additional  Leases  is  hereby
deleted.  It is understood  and agreed that the Reserves under all of the Leases
shall be maintained and used on a consolidated basis such that all funds in such
Reserves  shall be deposited in a single account and Assignors and TRS may apply
any funds therein to any of the Initial Properties or the Additional  Properties
under  the terms of  Initial  Leases  and the  Additional  Leases as they  shall
mutually agree, subject to the terms of any applicable  Management Agreement and
the Pooling Agreement.

         13. In addition to the other circumstances specified in Section 12.1 of
the First Closing Leases,  if (a) either Assignor or any Affiliated Person as to
such Assignor shall fail to observe any of the terms, covenants or conditions to
be observed or performed by it under the Agreement to Assign, the Initial Leases
(to the extent that the same have not been  assigned  to Tenant  pursuant to the
Agreement to Assign),  the  Guaranty,  the Holdback  Agreement,  the  applicable
Franchise Agreement,  the applicable Management Agreement,  the applicable Owner
Agreement or the Pooling  Agreement beyond any applicable notice or grace period
provided for  thereunder,  then,  in either case,  the same shall  constitute an
Event of Default under the First Closing Leases  entitling  Landlord to exercise
all of the rights and remedies  reserved or  otherwise  available to Landlord in
the instance of any of the Events of Default specified therein.

         14. Section 12.2 of each of the First Closing Initial Leases is amended
to delete the proviso at the end of the first  sentence of the second  paragraph
thereof.

         15.  Section  12.6 of each  of the  First  Closing  Initial  Leases  is

herein,  in the event  that the First  Closing  Initial  Leases  are  terminated
pursuant to Section  12.1 or 12.2  thereof,  Landlord  shall apply the  Retained

         shall be applied in  accordance  with the terms and  conditions  of the
         Holdback Agreement;

                  (b) The term  "Other  Leases"  set forth in the Lease for such
         Leased  Property shall be amended to eliminate any references to any of
         the Leases that are not simultaneously  transferred to the successor to
         Landlord  under such Lease,  and the  reference  to "Other  Leases" set
         forth in the other Leases not so  simultaneously  transferred  shall no
         longer include the Lease for such Leased Property;

                  (c) If Landlord's  interest under a Lease shall be transferred
         other than in connection  with a transfer of Landlord's  interest under
         all of the Leases to the same transferee, a portion of the then current
         balance in the Reserve shall be allocated to the Leased  Property under
         such Lease,  as  reasonably  determined  by Manager  based on Manager's
         reasonable  and  good  faith  estimate  as to  such  Leased  Property's
         projected  requirements for Reserve fundings  relative to the projected
         requirements for Reserve fundings for the other Leased Properties under
         the Leases;

                  (d) Any  transferee  of  Landlord  pursuant to Article 15 of a
         Lease shall  expressly  assume in writing the  obligations  of Landlord
         under such Lease; and

                  (e) Any overpayments of Additional Rent held by Landlord shall
         be refunded to Tenant prior to such transfer.

         All apportionments pursuant Section 18(a) of the Agreement to Lease and

the First Closing  Properties except for the Kauai Property),  all such revenues
and expenses related to all of the First Closing  Properties  except Kauai shall
be allocated 100% to MI and the  applicable  Managers (for the four weeks in the
current  Accounting  Period with respect to such Properties  through the Closing

all such  revenues and expenses  related to such  Properties  shall be allocated
100% to the New Tenant.

         With  respect to the Kauai  Property,  all such  revenues  and expenses
shall be allocated 50% to MI and the  applicable  Manager (for the first fifteen
days of the current  Accounting  Period for the Kauai Property through the First
Closing  Date) and 50% to the New  Tenant  (for the final  fifteen  days of such
Accounting Period following the First Closing Date).

         Any amounts  payable by the New Tenant  pursuant to such  apportionment
shall be handled pursuant to the Pooling Agreement.
