                       ASSIGNMENT OF AGREEMENTS, LICENSES,
                              PERMITS AND CONTRACTS

                  This ASSIGNMENT OF AGREEMENTS, LICENSES, PERMITS AND
CONTRACTS, dated as of June 25, 2004 (this "ASSIGNMENT"), made by the
undersigned, each having an address at c/o Lodgian, Inc., 3445 Peachtree Road,
NE, Suite 700, Atlanta, Georgia 30326 (collectively, "BORROWER"), to MERRILL
LYNCH MORTGAGE LENDING, INC., a Delaware corporation, having an address at 4
World Financial Center, New York, New York 10080 (together with its successors,
transferees and assigns, "LENDER").

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

                  WHEREAS:

                  A.       Borrower is the owner of a fee simple and leasehold
interest, as the case may be, in those certain parcels of real property
(collectively, the "PREMISES") described in EXHIBIT A attached hereto, and the
buildings, structures, fixtures, additions, enlargements, extensions,
modifications, repairs, replacements and other improvements now or hereafter
located thereon (the "IMPROVEMENTS"; together with the Premises, collectively,
the "PROPERTY");

                  B.       Borrower and Lender have entered into a certain Loan
and Security Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, modified or
restated from time to time, the "LOAN AGREEMENT"), pursuant to which Lender has
agreed to make a loan to Borrower as more particularly described below.
Capitalized terms used herein and not herein defined shall have the meanings
assigned to such terms in the Loan Agreement.

                  C.       Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, Lender is making a
Loan to Borrower in the aggregate original principal amount of up to One Hundred
Ten million and No/100 Dollars ($110,000,000.00) (the "LOAN"). The Loan is
evidenced by those certain Promissory Notes, each dated as of the date hereof
(as amended, modified or restated from time to time, collectively, the "NOTE")
and secured by, inter alia, those certain Mortgages/Deeds of Trust/Deeds to
Secure Debt, Assignments of Leases and Rents and Security Agreements, dated as
of the date hereof (as amended, modified or restated from time to time,
collectively, the "SECURITY INSTRUMENT"), with respect to the Property and
Improvements.

                  D.       To induce Lender to make the Loan and to secure
payment of the Note, together with interest thereon, Borrower has agreed to the
execution and delivery of this Assignment.

                  NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the sum of Ten Dollars
($10) and other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, the Borrower hereby absolutely grants a first
lien on and security interest in, and hereby assigns, transfers and sets over to
Lender as additional security for the payment of the Loan and the observance and
performance by the Borrower of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Loan

<PAGE>

Documents on the part of the Borrower to be observed or performed, all of the
Borrower's right, title and interest in and to the following:

                           (a)      to the extent assignable, all of Borrower's
right, title and interest in, to and under the documents, contracts,
instruments, plans, permits, licenses (including, without limitation, all liquor
licenses and other beverage permits), approvals, applications, trade names and
trademarks (including, without limitation, any licenses of, or agreements to
license, trade names or trademarks now or hereafter entered into by or on behalf
of Borrower or Manager in connection with the operation of the Property),
insurance policies, equipment leases, purchase and sale agreements, and other
instruments described or existing with respect to the Property or any portion
thereof, and any amendments or modifications thereto, any replacements thereof
executed during the term of the Note and any other similar documents or
instruments with respect to the Property or any portion thereof, now in
existence or hereafter executed by Borrower or now in the possession of Borrower
or hereafter obtained by Borrower (collectively, the "DOCUMENTS");

                           (b)      to the extent assignable, all rights,
powers, privileges, claims, remedies and causes of action of every kind which
Borrower now has or may in the future have with respect to or by reason of its
interest in the Documents; and

                           (c)      to the extent assignable, any and all
proceeds (including non-cash proceeds) of any of the foregoing (the items
enumerated in the preceding subparagraphs (a) and (b) and in this subparagraph
(c) being hereinafter collectively referred to as the "COLLATERAL").

                  1.       This Assignment is given to secure the obligations of
Borrower under and in respect of (a) the Note and (b) the other Loan Documents.
The parties intend that this Assignment shall be a present, actual, absolute and
unconditional assignment and shall, immediately upon execution, give Lender the
right to assume Borrower's interest in the Collateral; provided, however, that
unless an Event of Default under any of the Loan Documents shall have occurred
and be continuing, Borrower shall have a license to utilize the Collateral in
accordance with the terms thereof. If an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing under any of the Loan Documents, Borrower's license mentioned
in the immediately preceding sentence shall cease and terminate, without the
execution of any further instrument or document or the taking of any other act
on the part of Lender, and in such event, subject to the terms of the Loan
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Lender shall be entitled to utilize the
Collateral in Borrower's place and stead, in the name of Borrower or otherwise,
and in furtherance thereof, subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, Lender may enter upon the Property and take possession of
the Property by its officers, agents or employees, or by a court-appointed
receiver, and for the operation, protection, repair and maintenance of the
Property, and in connection therewith, Lender shall be entitled to take
possession of and use all books of account and financial records of Borrower and
its property managers or representatives relating to the Property.

                  2.       Neither this Assignment nor any action or inaction on
the part of Lender shall constitute an assumption on the part of Lender of any
duty or obligation with respect to the Collateral, nor shall Lender have any
duty or obligation to make any payment to be made by Borrower under the
Collateral, or to present or file any claim, or to take any other action to

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

collect or enforce the payment of any amounts or the performance of any
obligations which have been assigned to Lender or to which it may be entitled
hereunder at any time or times. No action or inaction on the part of Lender
shall adversely affect or limit in any way the rights of Lender hereunder or
under the Collateral, and Lender shall not incur any liability on account of any
action taken (or not taken) by it or on its behalf in connection with the
Collateral in good faith, whether or not the same shall prove to be improper,
inadequate or invalid, in whole or in part.

                  3.       Borrower shall indemnify and hold Lender harmless
from and against any and all liabilities, losses and damages which Lender may
incur by reason of this Assignment and any actions of Lender taken (or not
taken) in connection with the Collateral, and from and against any and all
claims and demands whatsoever which may be asserted against Lender by reason of
any alleged obligations to be performed or discharged by Lender by reason of
this Assignment, and the amount thereof, including reasonable costs, expenses
and reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, together with interest on such
amount, at the Default Rate under the Note from the date such costs, expenses
and fees were incurred by Lender to the date of payment thereof to Lender by
Borrower, shall be secured hereby and by the other Loan Documents, and Borrower
shall reimburse Lender therefor within twenty (20) days after demand, and upon
the failure of Borrower to do so, the same shall be deemed an Event of Default
under the Loan Agreement for which Lender shall be entitled to exercise any and
all rights and remedies provided therein or at law or in equity; provided,
however, that in no event shall Borrower be required to indemnify or hold
harmless Lender for any liabilities, losses or damages resulting from Lender's
bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. It is further understood that
this Assignment shall not operate to constitute Lender as a lender in possession
of the Property, or to place responsibility for the control, care, management or
repair of the Improvements upon Lender, nor shall it operate to make Lender
responsible or liable (as to Borrower) for any waste committed with respect to
the Property by any party, or for any Hazardous Material placed upon or found at
the Property, or for any dangerous or defective condition of the Improvements or
for any negligence in the management, up-keep, repair or control of the
Improvements resulting in loss, injury, death or damage to any contractor,
sub-contractor, licensee, invitee, employee, or other party, or for any other
thing or matter whatsoever.

                  4.       Borrower shall remain liable to, and shall, perform
all of its obligations under and with respect to the Collateral and shall, at
its sole cost and expense, enforce the Collateral in the ordinary course of
business and comply in all material respects with all of its obligations under
the Collateral and all the terms thereof. Borrower shall give Lender prompt
notice of any material default by any party under the Collateral. So long as (a)
Borrower is acting in the ordinary course of business, and (b) no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing under any of the Loan Documents, except
as otherwise provided in the Loan Agreement, Borrower may alter, amend, extend,
modify, change, cancel or terminate any of the Collateral, provided that such
alterations, amendments, extensions, modifications, changes, cancellations and
terminations, taken as a whole, are not likely to result in a Material Adverse
Effect, and, except as otherwise provided in the Loan Agreement, Borrower may
enter into new Collateral on commercially reasonable terms without Lender's
prior written consent in each instance; provided, however, that Borrower shall
provide Lender with copies of any such alterations, amendments, extensions,
modifications, changes, cancellations, and terminations of

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

the Collateral upon request of Lender unless otherwise required to be provided
pursuant to the Loan Agreement.

                  5.       Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default under any of the Loan Documents, Lender shall be entitled to
all of the rights, remedies, powers and privileges available to a secured party
under the Uniform Commercial Code in any jurisdiction whose laws may apply and
this Assignment shall constitute a direction to and full authority to any person
or entity which has contracted with or is a party to any of the Documents
(collectively, the "CONTRACTING PARTIES", and individually, a "CONTRACTING
PARTY") to perform its obligations under the Documents for the benefit of Lender
without proof to any Contracting Party of the default of Borrower. In addition,
Borrower agrees that it shall, promptly upon request of Lender following such
Event of Default, execute and deliver notices to the Contracting Parties
directing that future performance of such Contracting Parties' obligations be
made at the direction of Lender. Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes each of
the Contracting Parties to rely upon and comply with any notice or demand by
Lender for the performance by any such Contracting Party of its obligations
under any Document for the benefit of Lender, and no Contracting Party shall
have any right or duty to inquire whether an Event of Default has actually
occurred, and Borrower shall have no right to countermand its authorization
herein to the Contracting Parties to perform for the benefit of Lender.

                  6.       Borrower represents and warrants that it has full
right, power and authority, pursuant to its certificate of limited partnership
and limited partnership agreement, certificate of formation and limited
liability company agreement, or certification of incorporation and by-laws, as
the case may be, to assign the Collateral assigned hereby and that (a) to
Borrower's knowledge, the Documents in existence on the date hereof, are in full
force and effect in accordance with their respective terms, (b) Borrower has
delivered to Lender true and complete copies of the material Documents in
existence as of the date hereof, (c) neither the Collateral nor any part thereof
has been assigned, pledged or encumbered by Borrower except pursuant to this
Assignment and the other Loan Documents, (d) to Borrower's knowledge, no default
or event of default which remains uncured beyond the expiration of any
applicable grace or notice period which could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect has occurred and is continuing hereunder and no Event of
Default or Default has occurred, (e) to Borrower's knowledge, none of the
Contracting Parties has any defense, set-off or counterclaim against Borrower to
the performance of any obligations of such respective Contracting Party, and (f)
its principal place of business is its address for notices as set forth in the
Loan Agreement

                  7.       Borrower, at its expense, shall execute and deliver
all such instruments and take all such action as Lender, from time to time, may
reasonably request in order to obtain the full benefits of this Assignment and
of the rights and powers herein created and to maintain and perfect the security
interest granted in this Assignment. To the extent permitted by law, Borrower
irrevocably authorizes Lender, at the expense of Borrower, to file financing
statements and continuation statements with respect to the Collateral that
Lender deems appropriate or desirable without the signature of Borrower.

                  8.       Wherever there is any conflict or inconsistency
between any terms or provisions of this Assignment and the Loan Agreement, the
terms and provisions of the Loan Agreement shall control.

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

                  9.       All rights and remedies herein conferred may be
exercised whether or not sale proceedings are pending under the Security
Instrument or any other action or proceeding has been commenced under any of the
other Loan Documents. Lender shall not be required to resort first to the
security of this Assignment before resorting to the security of the Security
Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents and Lender may exercise the
security hereof or thereof concurrently or independently and in any order of
preference.

                  10.      This Assignment shall automatically terminate upon
payment in full of all sums due Lender under the Note, the Loan Agreement, and
the other Loan Documents, and any other indebtedness secured by the Security
Instrument.

                  11.      All notices, demands, consents, or requests which are
either required or desired to be given or furnished hereunder shall be sent and
shall be effective in the manner set forth in Section 14.5 of the Loan
Agreement.

                  12.      The provisions of this Assignment shall be binding
upon Borrower, its successors and assigns, and all persons claiming under or
through Borrower or any such successor or assign, and shall inure to the benefit
of and be enforceable by Lender and its successors and assigns. Subject to the
terms of the Loan Agreement, Lender shall have the right to assign this
Assignment and the obligations hereunder in connection with any assignment or
transfer of all or any portion of the Loan or any interest therein. The parties
hereto acknowledge that following the execution and delivery of this Assignment,
Lender may sell, transfer and assign this Assignment and certain other Loan
Documents. All references to "Lender" hereunder shall be deemed to include the
assigns of Lender and the parties hereto acknowledge that actions taken by
Lender hereunder may be taken by Lender's agents and by the agents of the
assigns of Lender.

                  13.      This Assignment shall constitute a security agreement
for all purposes under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State
where the applicable Property is located.

                  14.      This Assignment and the obligations arising hereunder
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
New York and any applicable laws of the United States of America, except that at
all times the provisions for the creation, perfection, attachment and
enforcement of the liens and the security interests created pursuant to this
Assignment shall be governed by the laws of the State where the applicable
Property is located.

                  15.      Neither this Assignment nor any provision hereof may
be changed, waived or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing
signed by Lender and Borrower.

                  16.      If any of the provisions of this Assignment, or the
application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be
invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Assignment, or the application
of such provision or provisions to persons or circumstances other than those to
whom or which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby
and every provision of this Assignment shall be valid and enforceable to the
fullest extent permitted by law.

                  17.      The obligations of Borrower hereunder are subject to
limitations on recourse as provided in Article XII of the Loan Agreement.

                              COOPERATION AGREEMENT

LENDING, INC., in its capacity as both mortgage lender and mezzanine lender

                  A.       The Mortgage Borrowers, by those certain Promissory
Notes of even date herewith given to Lender (the "MORTGAGE NOTE"), are indebted
to Lender in the original principal sum of One Hundred Ten Million and No/100
Dollars ($110,000,000.00) (the "MORTGAGE LOAN") as governed by that certain Loan
and Security Agreement of even date herewith between the Mortgage Borrowers and
Lender (together with all extensions, renewals, modifications, substitutions and
amendments thereof, the "MORTGAGE LOAN AGREEMENT").

                  B.       The Mezzanine Borrower, by that certain Mezzanine
Note of even date herewith given to Lender (the "MEZZANINE NOTE"), is indebted
to Lender in the aggregate principal sum of One Hundred and No/100 Dollars
$100.00 (the "MEZZANINE LOAN") as governed by that certain Mezzanine Loan
Agreement of even date herewith between the Mezzanine Borrower and Lender
(together with all extensions, renewals, modifications, substitutions and
amendments thereof, the "MEZZANINE LOAN AGREEMENT").

                  C.       Lender has required as a condition to making the
Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan that the Mortgage Borrowers and the
Mezzanine Borrower enter into this Agreement with Lender.

                                    AGREEMENT

                  For ten ($10) dollars and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereto agree as follows:

                  Section 1. Adjustment of Mortgage Loan and Mezzanine Loan/Loan
Modification. Lender shall have the right in its sole discretion, at any time
prior to the final Securitization of the Mortgage Loan, to separately adjust the
principal amount and applicable interest rates of the Mortgage Loan and the
Mezzanine Loan (each, a "LOAN MODIFICATION") provided that: (i) the aggregate
principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan immediately after
such adjustment shall equal the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the
Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan immediately prior to such adjustment, (ii)
the weighted average spread used in calculating the interest rate of the
Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan immediately after such adjustment shall
equal the weighted average spread used in calculating the interest rate which
was applicable to the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan immediately prior to
such adjustment, (iii) the aggregate debt service payments on the Mortgage Loan

<PAGE>

and the Mezzanine Loan immediately after such adjustment shall equal the
aggregate debt service payments which were due under the Mortgage Loan and the
Mezzanine Loan immediately prior to such adjustment, and (iv) the other material
terms and provisions of each of the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan shall
remain unchanged and none of the foregoing adjustments shall increase the
obligations or reduce the rights of the Mortgage Borrowers, the Mezzanine
Borrower or Guarantor in any material respect. Any Loan Modification shall be
subject to the following:

                  (a)      If Lender elects to increase the principal amount of
the Mezzanine Loan, the Mezzanine Borrower shall contribute to the Mortgage
Borrowers such additional loan proceeds to be applied to repay, dollar for
dollar, the Mortgage Note (in an amount and as designated by Lender), and the
Lender under the Mortgage Note will accept such prepayment without penalty,
premium or additional costs to the Mortgage Borrowers (except as provided
herein). If Lender elects to increase the principal amount of the Mortgage Loan
and reduce the principal amount of the Mezzanine Loan, the Mortgage Borrowers
shall distribute to the Mezzanine Borrower such additional loan proceeds to be
applied to repay, dollar for dollar, the Mezzanine Note (in an amount and as
designated by Lender), and the Lender under the Mezzanine Note will accept such
prepayment without penalty, premium or additional costs to the Mezzanine
Borrower (except as provided herein);

                  (b)      The Mortgage Borrowers and the Mezzanine Borrower
shall cooperate, and shall cause Guarantor and any Affiliates thereof (the
"LODGIAN PARTIES") to cooperate, with all reasonable requests of Lender in
connection with any Loan Modification including, without limitation (x)
execution and delivery of such documents as shall reasonably be required by
Lender in connection therewith (including amended and restated notes, amended
and restated loan agreements, replacement Mortgages, replacement Assignments of
Leases, and ratifications by Guarantor of any of its obligations under any
guaranties or indemnities provided under the Mortgage Loan or the Mezzanine
Loan), and (y) adjustment of each Cap (as such term is defined in the Mortgage
Loan Agreement and the Mezzanine Loan Agreement) such that, following adjustment
of the principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan pursuant to
the terms hereof, (i) the Cap delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan
shall have a notional amount equal to the then outstanding principal balance of
the Mortgage Loan, and (ii) the Cap delivered (or, if none is required by Lender
at Closing, to be delivered) in connection with the Mezzanine Loan shall have a
notional amount equal to the then outstanding principal balance of the Mezzanine
Loan;

                  (c)      The Mortgage Borrowers and the Mezzanine Borrower
hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoint Lender their true and lawful attorney
coupled with an interest, in their name and stead to make and execute all
documents necessary to effect the Loan Modification, provided, however, that
Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until ten
(10) days after notice by Lender to Mortgage Borrowers and Mezzanine Borrower of
such intent to exercise its right under such power;

                  (d)      At Lender's request, in connection with any Loan
Modification the Mortgage Borrowers and the Mezzanine Borrower shall deliver to
Lender, at the Mortgage Borrowers' and the Mezzanine Borrower's expense,
replacement opinion letters in form and substance similar to the opinion letters
delivered on the Closing Date addressed to any

                                       2
<PAGE>

subsequent holders of the Mortgage Loan or the Mezzanine Loan or any interest
therein (including, without limitation, each trustee holding the Mortgage Loan
or the Mezzanine Loan) with respect to any opinion letter delivered in
connection with the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan;

                  (e)      Lender shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs
and expenses incurred by the Mortgage Borrowers and the Mezzanine Borrower in
connection with a Loan Modification (other than the Mortgage Borrowers',
Mezzanine Borrower's and Guarantor's internal costs and expenses, and the costs
and expenses of their respective counsel, mortgage recording fees and taxes,
required endorsements, if any, to the Title Policies (as such term is defined in
the Mortgage Loan Agreement and the Mezzanine Loan Agreement), and costs
incurred in adjusting each Cap).

                  Section 2. Capitalized Terms; Notices. Capitalized terms not
otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the
Mortgage Loan Agreement. Any notices, requests, demands or other communications
required or permitted hereunder shall be delivered as specified in the Mortgage
Loan Agreement and the Mezzanine Loan Agreement.

                  Section 3. Event of Default. It shall be an Event of Default
under the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan if any of the Mortgage Borrowers,
the Mezzanine Borrower, or the Lodgian Parties fail to comply with any of the
terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement within ten (10) Business Days
after receipt of written request from Lender.

                  Section 4. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed,
construed, applied and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New
York and the applicable laws of the United States of America.

                  Section 5. No Oral Change. This Agreement, and any provisions
hereof, may not be modified, amended, waived, extended, changed, discharged or
terminated orally or by any act or failure to act on the part of the Mortgage
Borrowers, the Mezzanine Borrower, Guarantor, or Lender, but only by an
agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any
modification, amendment, waiver, extension, change, discharge or termination is
sought.

                  Section 6. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Mortgage Borrowers, the Mezzanine
Borrower, Guarantor, and Lender and their respective successors and assigns
forever.

                  Section 7. Inapplicable Provisions. If any term, covenant or
condition of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in
any respect, this Agreement shall be construed without such provision.

                  Section 8. Headings, etc. The headings and captions of various
paragraphs of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not
to be construed as defining or limiting, in any way, the scope or intent of the
provisions hereof.

                  Section 9. Duplicate Originals, Counterparts. This Agreement
may be executed in any number of duplicate originals and each duplicate original
shall be deemed to be an original. This Agreement may be executed in several
counterparts, each of which

                                       3

counterparts shall be deemed an original instrument and all of which together
shall constitute a single Agreement. The failure of any party hereto to execute
this Agreement, or any counterpart hereof, shall not relieve the other
signatories from their obligations hereunder.
