                              MANAGER'S OBLIGATIONS

        Section 3.01.  Manager's Obligations. Manager shall, on behalf of Owner
and at Owner's expense, direct the operation of the Hotel pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement and the License Agreement. Manager shall be exclusively
responsible for directing the day-to-day activities of the Hotel and
establishing all policies and procedures relating to the management and
operation of the Hotel. Except as specifically otherwise provided, all cost(s)
and expense(s) incurred by Manager in association with the performance of the
obligations hereinafter set forth shall be, regardless of the designation of a
portion thereof as Fee Ownership Costs (as herein defined), operating costs and
shall accordingly be paid from the Bank Account(s) as hereinafter defined in
Section 3.01(iv) below. Manager, during the Term, shall have the following
obligations:

        (i)     Costs of Fee Owner and Owner. Pursuant to the terms of the
                Percentage Lease, Manager understands that Fee Owner has agreed
                to pay, among other things (i) land, building and personal
                property taxes and assessments applicable to the Hotel, (ii)
                premiums and charges for the casualty insurance-coverages
                specified on Exhibit "D", (iii) expenditures for capital
                replacements, and (iv) expenditures for maintenance and repair
                of underground utilities and structural elements of the Hotel
                (collectively, "Fee Ownership Costs"). To the extent this
                Agreement obligates or authorizes Manager to pay any such Fee
                Ownership Costs, Manager shall pay such Fee Ownership Costs on
                behalf of Fee Owner to the extent of funds in the Bank
                Account(s) (as herein defined) in the order of priority set
                forth in Exhibit "B" or the Reserve Fund (as herein defined) and
                Fee Owner and Owner shall make such adjustments and payments to
                each other as may be necessary from time to time to take into
                account any such payments by Manager. Manager shall have no
                duty, obligation or liability to Fee Owner or Owner (i) to make
                any determination as to whether any expense required to be paid
                by Manager hereunder is a Fee Ownership Cost or a cost of Owner,
                (ii) to make any determination as to whether funds in the Bank
                Account(s) or the Reserve Fund belong to Fee Owner or Owner, or
                (iii) to require that Fee Ownership Costs be paid from funds
                which can be identified as belonging to Fee Owner, or that other
                costs and expenses required to be paid by Owner be paid from
                funds which can be identified as belonging to Owner; it being
                the intent of the parties to this Agreement that (i) Owner and
                Fee Owner shall look only to each other and not to Manager with
                respect to moneys that may be owed one to the other as a
                consequence of Manager's performance under this Agreement and
                (ii) Manager need only look to Owner to pay operating costs,
                including, without limitation, those designated herein as Fee
                Ownership Costs.

        (ii)    Personnel.

                (a)     Hotel Personnel. Manager shall be the sole judge of the
                        fitness and qualification of all personnel working at
                        the Hotel ("Hotel Personnel") and shall have the sole
                        and absolute right to hire, supervise, order, instruct,

                        discharge and determine the compensation, benefits and
                        terms of employment of all Hotel Personnel. All Hotel
                        Personnel shall be employees of Manager. Manager shall
                        also have the right to use employees of Manager,
                        Manager's parent and subsidiary and affiliated
                        companies, not located at the Hotel to provide services
                        to the Hotel ("Off-Site Personnel") and the right to
                        have the general manager of the Hotel serve as the
                        regional manager for other hotels managed by Manager.
                        All expenses, costs (including, but not limited to,
                        salaries, benefits and severance pay), liabilities and
                        claims which are related to Hotel Personnel and Off-Site
                        Personnel shall be operating costs; provided, however,
                        with respect to any moving expenses for any Hotel
                        Personnel who has not been an employee at the Hotel for
                        at least twelve (12) months, only that portion of such
                        moving expenses equal to Owner's Share (as hereinafter
                        defined) shall constitute operating costs and the
                        balance shall be paid by Manager and/or such employee.
                        Manager shall also have the right to have Off-Site
                        Personnel performing regional or area duties relating to
                        the Hotel and other hotels managed by Manager lodged at
                        the Hotel from time to time free of charge. "Owner's
                        Share" shall mean a fraction having twelve (12) as its
                        denominator and the number of months or part thereof
                        such person has been one of the Hotel Personnel as its
                        numerator. All expenses for Off-Site Personnel shall be
                        included as a separate category or item of the Operating
                        Budgets (as hereinafter defined) or shall otherwise be
                        approved by Owner.

                (b)     General Manager & Director of Sales. Manager agrees that
                        it will consult with Owner regarding the hiring,
                        transferring, or terminating of the general manager and
                        director of sales for the Hotel. Owner shall be afforded
                        an opportunity to review the resumes of, and to
                        interview, the candidates for these positions, all
                        within a time frame established by Manager, which shall
                        be reasonable under the circumstances in question.
                        Manager and Owner shall consult with each other
                        concerning such decisions and Manager agrees to give
                        serious consideration to the views of Owner prior to
                        Manager's making a final decision with respect to any
                        such individual. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Owner
                        shall be deemed to have approved the appointment of any
                        such individual unless Owner delivers notice of its
                        disapproval of such appointment within ten (10) business
                        days after Manager's delivery to Owner of (a) a written
                        summary of such individual's professional experience and
                        qualifications and (b) notice of Manager's desire to
                        arrange an interview between Owner and such individual
                        at the Hotel or at another mutually acceptable location
                        (it being agreed that Owner will forego its right to
                        interview any such individual if Owner is unwilling or
                        unable to have an authorized representative participate
                        in the interview within ten (10) business days following
                        Manager's notice to Owner of Manager's desire to arrange
                        such an interview). Moreover, Owner acknowledges that it
                        may not reject more than three (3) candidates proposed
                        by Manager for the positions of general

                        manager or director of sales each time either of such
                        positions is being filled.

                (c)     Labor Relations. Manager shall negotiate for the best
                        interest of Owner with any labor unions representing
                        employees of the Hotel, but any collective bargaining
                        agreement or labor contract resulting therefrom will be
                        executed by Manager as the employer. Manager shall, to
                        the extent practicable, keep Owner informed of
                        negotiations with any labor union.

                (d)     Business Expenses. The Executive Staff and other
                        appropriate employees of the Hotel shall also be
                        reimbursed for all reasonable business expenses,
                        including business entertainment and travel expenses, in
                        accordance with the standard practices in effect at
                        other Homewood Suites by Hilton(R) managed by Manager
                        ("Other Managed Hotels").

                (e)     Benefit Plans, etc. Manager shall have the right to
                        provide to the employees of the Hotel who are eligible
                        therefor and who are not covered by collective
                        bargaining or similar arrangements, with benefits of the
                        incentive plans, and the pension, profit sharing or
                        other employee retirement, disability, health or welfare
                        or other benefit plan or plans now or hereafter
                        applicable to employees of Other Managed Hotels, and to
                        charge the Hotel with the Hotel's pro rata share of the
                        costs and expenses of such plan or plans allocated to
                        the Hotel on the same basis as allocated to
                        participating Other Managed Hotels.

                        The parties agree and acknowledge that Manager may (but
                        shall not be required to) provide benefits and allow
                        participation in such plans on whatever modified basis
                        as it may determine appropriate under the circumstances,
                        and may waive any waiting period or any preconditions to
                        coverage or participation otherwise applicable to such
                        employees. No statement, promise, representation or
                        warranty regarding the terms of such plans or the
                        participation or coverage of employees shall be
                        enforceable, binding or effective in any way unless made
                        in writing and signed by an authorized representative of
                        Manager. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event
                        shall Manager initiate or adopt any plans, programs or
                        benefits for Hotel employees not otherwise in effect at
                        Other Managed Hotels unless required by applicable
                        collective bargaining agreements.

        (iii)   Hotel Policies. Manager shall determine the terms of guest
                admittance to the Hotel, establish room rates, and use of rooms
                for commercial purposes. Other employees of Owner or Manager, or
                their respective affiliates, shall be permitted to stay at the
                Hotel for non-business purposes, subject to availability, at
                reduced rates in accordance with policies with respect to such
                stays in effect from time to time at Other Managed Hotels.

        (iv)    Bank Accounts. Manager shall open and operate the Hotel's bank
                accounts. All sums received from the operation of the Hotel and
                all items paid by Manager

Page 4

<PAGE>

                arising by virtue of Manager's operation of the Hotel shall pass
                through bank account(s) established by Manager in Owner's name
                at such banks as Manager and Owner shall mutually agree ("Bank
                Account(s)"); only Manager's designees shall be exclusively
                authorized to operate and draw from the Bank Account(s). Each
                fiscal month Manager, on behalf of Owner, shall disburse funds
                from the Bank Account(s) in the order of priority and to the
                extent available in accordance with the priority schedule set
                forth on Exhibit "B";

        (v)     Operating Budgets. Manager has submitted to Owner, for Owner's
                approval, a proposed operating budget for the ensuing partial
                fiscal year ("Operating Budget"). Hereafter, Manager shall, not
                less than forty-five (45) days prior to the commencement of each
                full fiscal year, submit to Owner, for Owner's approval, a
                proposed Operating Budget for the ensuing full or partial fiscal
                year, as the case may be. Each Operating Budget shall be
                accompanied by, and shall include, a business plan which shall
                describe business objectives and strategies for the period
                covered by the Operating Budget. The business plan shall
                include, without limitation, an analysis of the market area in
                which the Hotel competes, a comparison of the Hotel and its
                business with competitive hotels, an analysis of categories of
                potential guests, and a description of sales and marketing
                activities designed to achieve and implement identified
                objectives and strategies. Fee Owner shall have no right to
                approve any Operating Budget.

                Owner's approval of the Operating Budget shall not be
                unreasonably withheld and shall be deemed given unless a
                specific written objection thereto is delivered by Owner to
                Manager within fifteen (15) days after submission. Owner shall
                review the Operating Budget on a line-by-line basis. To be
                effective, any notice which disapproves a proposed Operating
                Budget must contain specific objections in reasonable detail to
                individual line items.

                If the initial Operating Budget contains disputed budget
                item(s), said item(s) shall be deemed adopted until Owner and
                Manager have resolved the item(s) objected to by Owner or the
                Accountant(s) (hereinafter defined in Section 10.02) have
                resolved the item(s) objected to by Owner. Thereafter, if Owner
                disapproves or raises objections to a proposed Operating Budget
                in the manner and within the time period provided therefor, and
                Owner and Manager are unable to resolve the disputed or
                objectionable matters submitted by Owner prior to the
                commencement of the applicable fiscal year, the undisputed
                portions of the proposed Operating Budget shall be deemed to be
                adopted and approved and the corresponding line item contained
                in the Operating Budget for the preceding fiscal year shall be
                adjusted as set forth herein and shall be substituted in lieu of
                the disputed items in the proposed Operating Budget. Those line
                items which are in dispute shall be determined by increasing the
                preceding fiscal year's corresponding line items by an amount
                determined by Manager which does not exceed the Consumer Price
                Index for All Urban Consumers published by the Bureau of Labor
                Statistics of the United States Department of Labor, U.S. City
                Average, all items (1984-1986=100) for the fiscal year prior to
                the fiscal year with respect to which the adjustment to the line
                item is being calculated or any successor or replacement

                index thereto. The resulting Operating Budget obtained in
                accordance with the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be the
                Operating Budget in effect until such time as Manager and Owner
                have resolved the items objected to by Owner.

                Manager shall revise the Operating Budget from time to time, as
                necessary, to reflect any unpredicted significant changes,
                variables or events or to include significant, additional,
                unanticipated items of income or expense. Any such revision
                shall be submitted to Owner for approval, which approval shall
                not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Manager
                shall be permitted to reallocate part or all of the amount
                budgeted with respect to any line item to another line item and
                to make such other modifications to the Operating Budget as
                Manager deems necessary, provided, however, that Manager may not
                reallocate from one Department to another without Owner's
                consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
                The term "Department" shall mean and refer to those general
                divisional categories shown in the Operating Budget (e.g., Guest
                Services Department or Administration Department), but shall not
                mean or refer to subcategories (e.g., linen replacement or
                uniforms) appearing in a divisional category. In addition, in
                the event actual Gross Revenues (as defined in Exhibit "C"
                hereto) for any calendar period are greater than those provided
                for in the Operating Budget, the amounts approved in the
                Operating Budget for suite maintenance, guest services, food and
                beverage, telephone, utilities, marketing and hotel repair and
                maintenance for any calendar month shall be automatically deemed
                to be increased to an amount that bears the same relationship
                (ratio) to the amounts budgeted for such items as actual Gross
                Revenue for such month bears to the projected Gross Revenue for
                such month. Owner acknowledges that the Operating Budget is
                intended only to be a reasonable estimate of the Hotel's income
                and expenses for the ensuing fiscal year. Manager shall not be
                deemed to have made any guarantee, warranty or representation
                whatsoever in connection with the Operating Budget;

        (vi)    Operating Statement. Manager shall prepare and furnish Owner, on
                or before the twentieth (20th) day of the fiscal month
                immediately following the close of a fiscal month, with a
                detailed operating statement setting forth the results of the
                Hotel's operations. Within ninety (90) days after the end of
                each fiscal year, Manager shall furnish Owner with a detailed
                operating statement setting forth the results of the Hotel's
                operations for the fiscal year;

        (vii)   Capital Budgets. Manager shall, not less than forty-five (45)
                days prior to the commencement of each fiscal year, submit to
                Owner, for Owner's approval, a recommended "Capital Budget" for
                the ensuing full or partial fiscal year, as the case may be, for
                ordinary Hotel capital replacement items as shall be required to
                operate the Hotel in accordance with the standards referred to
                in the License Agreement. Manager, to the extent it is able to
                do so without compromising compliance with the minimum standards
                required under the terms of the License Agreement, shall take
                into consideration, among other factors, the amount of funds
                available to pay for the proposed Capital Improvements (as
                herein defined). Manager shall also identify for Owner those
                projects that are required to meet the

Page 6

<PAGE>

                minimum standards of the License Agreement and give priority to
                such items. Owner and Manager shall meet to discuss the proposed
                Capital Budget and Owner shall be required to make specific
                written objections to a proposed Capital Budget in the manner
                and within the same time periods specified in Section 3.01(v)
                with respect to an Operating Budget. Owner agrees not to
                unreasonably withhold or delay its consent. If Owner does not
                approve the Capital Budget, Manager (i) with respect to Capital
                Improvements required to meet the minimum standards of the
                License Agreement, will be entitled to spend such amounts as are
                necessary to meet such minimum standards and (ii) with respect
                to any other Capital Improvements, will only spend such amounts
                as are approved by Owner, acting reasonably, provided, however,
                that in any event Manager shall be entitled to spend up to five
                percent (5%) of Gross Revenues for Capital Improvements and FF&E
                Replacements after the date hereof until the disputed Capital
                Budget item(s) have been resolved in accordance with Section
                10.02.1(e). Manager, at Owner's expense, shall be responsible
                for supervising the design, installation and construction of
                alterations or additions to, or rebuilding or renovation of, the
                Hotel (collectively, "Capital Improvements"). Owner shall have
                the right to approve and inspect the installation and
                construction of Capital Improvements and any mortgagee having a
                first lien on Owner's leasehold estate in the Hotel ("Owner's
                Leasehold Mortgagee") or a first lien on Fee Owner's fee estate
                in the Hotel (the "Fee Owner's Mortgagee") shall also have any
                right of approval or inspection of the installation and
                construction of the Capital Improvements to the extent set forth
                in the mortgage, deed of trust or other loan documents
                (collectively, the "Mortgage Documents") (but only if and to the
                extent the Manager has been provided with copies of the Mortgage
                Documents). Fee Owner shall not have the right to approve any
                Capital Budget.

                After a Capital Budget has been adopted, it shall be subject to
                review and modification in the event unpredicted or
                unanticipated capital expenditures are required during any
                calendar year. Manager and Owner each agree not to unreasonably
                withhold or delay its consent to a proposed modification of a
                Capital Budget. Any amendment that is mutually agreed upon shall
                be set forth in writing and signed by both parties. It is
                acknowledged by Owner that capital expenditures required as a
                result of an emergency situation shall not reduce amounts
                available pursuant to the Capital Budget or otherwise hereunder,
                other than to the extent a Capital Budget item is subsumed
                within the capital expenditures required as a result of the
                occurrence of the emergency;

        (viii)  FF&E Budgets. Manager shall, not less than forty-five (45) days
                prior to the commencement of each fiscal year, submit to Owner,
                for Owner's approval, a recommended "FF&E Budget" for the FF&E
                Replacements (as herein defined) required to operate the Hotel
                in accordance with the standards referred to in the License
                Agreement. Manager, to the extent it is able to do so without
                compromising compliance with the minimum standards required
                under the terms of the License Agreement, shall take into
                consideration, among other factors, the amount of funds
                available to pay for the proposed FF&E Replacements. Manager
                shall also identify for Owner those projects that are required
                to meet the minimum

Page 7

<PAGE>

                standards of the License Agreement and give priority to such
                items. Owner and Manager shall meet to discuss the proposed FF&E
                Budget and Owner shall be required to make specific written
                objections to a proposed FF&E Budget in the manner and within
                the same time periods specified in Section 3.01(v) with respect
                to an Operating Budget. Owner agrees not to unreasonably
                withhold or delay its consent. If Owner does not approve the
                FF&E Budget, Manager (i) with respect to FF&E Replacements
                required to meet the minimum standards of the License Agreement,
                will be entitled to spend such amounts as are necessary to meet
                such minimum standards and (ii) with respect to any other FF&E
                Replacements, will only spend such amounts as are approved by
                Owner, acting reasonably, provided, however, that in any event
                Manager shall be entitled to spend up to five percent (5%) of
                Gross Revenue for Capital Improvements and FF&E Replacements
                after the date hereof until the disputed FF&E Budget item(s)
                have been resolved in accordance with Section 10.02.1(f).
                Manager, at Owner's expense, shall be responsible for
                supervising the design, installation, repair and replacement of
                fixtures, furniture, furnishings and equipment (not including
                operating equipment or operating supplies), including, without
                limitation, office furnishings and equipment, specialized hotel
                equipment necessary for the operation of any portion of the
                Hotel, including equipment for kitchens, laundries, dry cleaning
                facilities, bars, restaurants, public rooms, commercial and
                parking space, and recreational facilities, and any other
                furnishings and equipment required to operate the Hotel
                (collectively, "FF&E Replacements"). Owner shall have the right
                to approve and inspect the installation and construction of FF&E
                Replacements and any Owner's Leasehold Mortgagee or Fee Owner's
                Mortgagee shall also have any right of approval or inspection of
                the installation and construction of the FF&E Replacements to
                the extent set forth in the Mortgage Documents (but only if and
                to the extent Manager has been provided with copies of the
                Mortgage Documents). Fee Owner shall not have the right to
                approve any FF&E Budget;

        (ix)    Operating Equipment. Manager shall select and purchase all
                operating equipment for the Hotel such as linens, utensils,
                uniforms and other similar items, provided, however, that if
                Owner determines that it can purchase operating equipment of a
                quality at least equal to that which Manager generally uses at a
                price lower than the price obtained by Manager, Manager shall
                purchase such operating equipment from the vendor designated by
                Owner;

        (x)     Operating Supplies. Manager shall select and purchase all
                operating supplies for the Hotel such as food, beverages, fuel,
                soap, cleansing items, stationery and other consumable items,
                provided, however, that if Owner determines that it can purchase
                operating supplies of a quality at least equal to that which
                Manager generally uses at a price lower than the price obtained
                by Manager, Manager shall purchase such operating supplies from
                the vendor designated by Owner;

        (xi)    Accounting Standards. Manager shall maintain the books and
                records reflecting the operations of the Hotel in accordance
                with the accounting practices of Manager in conformity with
                generally accepted accounting practices consistently applied and
                shall adopt and follow the fiscal accounting periods utilized by

Page 8

<PAGE>

                Manager in its normal course of business. The Hotel level
                generated accounting records reflecting detailed day-to-day
                transactions of the Hotel's operations, shall be kept by Manager
                at the Hotel or at Manager's regional offices or corporate
                headquarters, or at such other location as Manager shall
                reasonably determine. Manager shall receive a monthly fee for
                accounting services provided to the Hotel ("Accounting Fee").
                The current Accounting Fee is set forth on Exhibit "B". The
                Accounting Fee shall be adjusted by Manager from time to time
                and set forth in the annual Operating Budget;

        (xii)   Permits and Licenses. Manager shall obtain and maintain the
                various permits and licenses required or permitted to be held in
                its name that are necessary to enable Manager to operate the
                Hotel in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the
                License Agreement, provided, however, that Manager shall only
                hold liquor licenses and alcoholic beverage licenses if required
                by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Hotel is located.
                In addition, Manager shall upon request cooperate with and
                assist Owner in obtaining the various permits and licenses that
                are required to be held in the name of either or both of Owner
                and Fee Owner that are necessary to enable Manager to operate
                the Hotel. Manager, at Owner's cost and expense, shall use all
                reasonable efforts, to the extent within its control, to comply
                with the terms and conditions of all licenses and permits issued
                with respect to the Hotel and the business conducted at the
                Hotel, including, without limitation, the terms and conditions
                of the License Agreement;

        (xiii)  Owner Meetings. The Hotel's general manager shall meet with
                Owner's Representative (as hereinafter defined in Section
                4.01(vii)) quarterly to review and discuss the previous and
                future month's operating statement, cash flow, budget, capital
                expenditures, important personnel matters and the general
                concerns of Owner and Manager. In addition, a representative of
                Manager's corporate staff shall meet with Owner's Representative
                quarterly to review and discuss the previous and future
                quarter's operating statement, cash flow, budget, capital
                expenditures, important personnel matters and the general
                concerns of Owner and Manager. Except to the extent otherwise
                mutually agreed upon by Owner and Manager, the quarterly
                meetings described in this clause (xiii) shall be held at the
                Hotel;

        (xiv)   Insurance. Manager shall procure and maintain throughout the
                Term the insurance coverages set forth on Exhibit "D";

        (xv)    Compliance with Law. Manager, at Owner's cost and expense, shall
                use all reasonable efforts to comply with all laws, ordinances,
                regulations and requirements of any federal, state or municipal
                government that are applicable to the use and operation of the
                Hotel, as well as with all orders and requirements of the local
                fire department, of which Manager has knowledge; provided,
                however, that Owner shall have the right to contest by proper
                legal proceedings, the validity of any such law, ordinance,
                rule, regulation, order, decision or requirement and may
                postpone compliance therewith to the extent and in the manner
                provided by law until final determination of any such
                proceedings. Manager promptly shall

Page 9

<PAGE>

                notify Owner in writing of all notices of legal requirements
                applicable to the Hotel that are received by Manager;

        (xvi)   Satisfaction of Obligations. Manager agrees to pay, when due,
                all amounts due under any equipment leases and all other
                contracts and agreements relating to the operation or
                maintenance of the Hotel, and, if requested by Owner, any
                Mortgage Documents relating to the loan from Owner's Leasehold
                Mortgagee ("Owner's Mortgage Documents"), but solely from and to
                the extent that funds are available in the Bank Account(s), and
                to comply, at Owner's cost and expense, with all other covenants
                and obligations contained in the equipment leases and all
                utility contracts, concession agreements, and service and
                maintenance contracts, and, if requested by Owner, Owner's
                Mortgage Documents to the extent that compliance therewith is
                within the reasonable control of Manager by reason of its
                management and operation of the Hotel pursuant to this
                Agreement; provided, however, Manager shall have no obligation
                to comply with any provisions in the Mortgage Documents that
                conflict with its rights and obligations under this Agreement.
                Manager shall have no obligation to perform or comply with any
                obligations of (i) Fee Owner or Owner under the Percentage Lease
                or (ii) Fee Owner under any Mortgage Documents relating to the
                loan from Fee Owner's Mortgagee (other than any right to approve
                or inspect Capital Improvements contemplated by Section
                3.01(vii) above or FF&E Replacements contemplated by Section
                3.01(viii) above);

        (xvii)  Requests for Information. Manager shall respond, with reasonable
                promptness, to any information requests by Owner's Leasehold
                Mortgagee in accordance with Owner's Mortgage Documents, to the
                extent such information is required to be furnished by Manager
                to Owner pursuant to this Agreement. Any additional information
                or reports requested by Owner's Leasehold Mortgagee shall be
                provided by Manager only if Owner so directs Manager in writing
                and, to the extent such information or reports are not being
                prepared for Owner in the ordinary course of business pursuant
                to this Agreement, Owner agrees to pay the reasonable expenses
                of preparing such information and reports;

        (xviii) Tax and Insurance Accruals. If requested by Owner, Manager shall
                accrue and set aside on a monthly basis funds from Gross
                Revenues if available in the priority set forth on Exhibit "B"
                for the payment of real estate taxes and insurance premiums, and
                such accruals shall be deposited in a separate account and not
                commingled with other operating accounts for Hotel operations
                generally, provided, however, that to the extent such accruals
                exceed the amount necessary to pay the actual amount of real
                estate taxes and insurance premiums, such excess shall be
                available for operating costs, ownership costs, and the other
                items set forth on, and in the priority set forth on, Exhibit
                "B". If such accruals do not exceed the actual amounts due in
                respect of real estate taxes and insurance premiums but Owner
                and Manager agree in writing, the tax and insurance accruals on
                deposit may be used from time to time to pay operating costs if
                Gross Revenues are not otherwise sufficient to pay such
                operating costs; and

        (xix)   Additional Responsibilities of Manager. Manager shall, as agent
                of Owner either in its own name, or in the name of Owner,

                be performed for the Hotel:

                (a)     subject to the other terms and conditions of this
                        Agreement, establish and revise, as necessary,
                        administrative policies and procedures, including
                        policies and procedures for the control of revenue and
                        expenditures, for the purchasing of supplies and
                        services (except as otherwise provided herein), for the
                        control of credit, and for the scheduling of
                        maintenance, and verify that the foregoing procedures
                        are operating in a sound manner;

                (b)     consummate leases with respect to any commercial and
                        office space in the Hotel and concession or other
                        arrangements with respect to other space and facilities
                        in the Hotel or on the Hotel grounds, provided that
                        Owner's prior written approval shall be required for any
                        lease having a term in excess of one (1) year and not
                        terminable, without premium or penalty, upon not more
                        than thirty (30) days' notice;

                (c)     enter into any contracts for goods or services to the
                        Hotel, provided that Owner's prior written approval
                        shall be required for any contract (x) which provides
                        for aggregate payments by Owner over the life of the
                        contract (taking into account Owner's early termination
                        rights, if any) in excess of $25,000, or (y) which has a
                        term in excess of two (2) years;

                (d)     subject to the prior written approval of Owner, retain
                        legal counsel for the Hotel, which legal counsel shall
                        perform legal services under the direction of Manager;
                        and

                (e)     as part of Group Services (as hereinafter defined)
                        advertise and promote the Hotel in coordination with the
                        sales and marketing programs of Manager and other
                        Homewood Suites by Hilton(R)hotels. In performing such
                        Group Services Manager may participate in sales and
                        promotional campaigns and activities involving
                        complimentary rooms. Further, in marketing and
                        advertising the Hotel, Manager shall have the right to
                        use marketing and advertising services of employees of
                        Manager and its affiliates not located at the Hotel.
                        Manager may charge the Hotel for personnel and other
                        costs and expenses incurred in providing such marketing
                        and advertising services; provided that (i) Manager's
                        allocation of such marketing and advertising costs and
                        expenses among the hotels, including the Hotel, shall be
                        pro rated among all hotels owned or managed by Manager
                        and (ii) the annual allocation of any costs and expenses
                        to the Hotel relating specifically to marketing and
                        advertising shall not exceed $10,000.00 (which
                        $10,000.00 amount is based upon the purchasing power of
                        the United States dollar as of the Effective Date and
                        shall be annually increased, if necessary, on each
                        anniversary of the Effective Date to reflect an amount
                        which shall have the equivalent purchasing power to

                        said $10,000.00), without Owner's prior written consent,
                        which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

                               OWNER'S OBLIGATIONS

        Section 4.01.  Owner's Obligations. During the Term, Owner shall have
the obligations set forth below:

        (i)     License Agreement. Owner shall: (i) comply with all the terms
                and conditions of the License Agreement (specifically including,
                but not limited to, Licensee's obligation to pay the fees,
                charges and contributions set forth in Sections 3.c. and 7 of
                the License Agreement); (ii) not perform any act or do anything
                which would limit Manager's ability to operate the Hotel
                pursuant to the terms of the License Agreement; and (iii) keep
                the License Agreement in full force and effect from the
                Effective Date through the remainder of the Term. Nothing in
                this Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner which would
                relieve Owner of any of its obligations under the License
                Agreement;

        (ii)    Licenses and Permits. Owner shall obtain and maintain, with
                Manager's assistance and cooperation, all governmental
                permissions, licenses and permits required to be held in Owner's
                and/or Fee Owner's name that are necessary to enable Manager to
                operate the Hotel in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
                and the License Agreement;

        (iii)   Insurance. Owner shall procure and maintain throughout the Term
                the insurance coverages set forth on Exhibit "E";

        (iv)    Operating Funds. Owner shall provide all funds necessary to
                enable Manager to manage and operate the Hotel in accordance
                with the terms of this Agreement and the License Agreement,
                regardless of the designation of a portion of the operating
                costs as Fee Ownership Costs. Owner agrees to deliver to Manager
                for deposit into the Bank Account(s) on the Effective Date the
                amount specified on Exhibit "B" ($10,000 of which shall be
                funded by Manager pursuant to the Agreement of Sale, dated
                February ___, 2003, by and between Promus Hotels, Inc. and
                Promus Hotels Florida, Inc., collectively, as Seller and Apple
                Suites Realty Group, Inc., as Buyer, as subsequently assigned to
                Fee Owner) which amount shall be the "Minimum Balance" to be
                maintained by Owner during the first year of the Hotel's
                operation. The Minimum Balance thereafter shall be no less than
                the Hotel's operating costs for the preceding fiscal month. The
                Minimum Balance shall serve as working capital for the Hotel's
                operations. Owner agrees, upon Manager's written request, to
                immediately furnish Manager with sufficient funds to make up any
                deficiency in the Minimum Balance;

        (v)     Capital Funds. Owner shall expend such amounts for Capital
                Improvements and FF&E Replacements as are required from time to
                time to (a) maintain the Hotel in

Page 12

<PAGE>

                good order and repair, (b) comply with the standards referred to
                in the License Agreement, and (c) comply with governmental
                regulations and orders. Owner shall cooperate fully with Manager
                in establishing appropriate procedures and timetables for Owner
                to undertake Capital Improvements and FF&E Replacements.

                It is recognized that expenditures for Capital Improvements and
                FF&E Replacements are incapable of precise calculation in
                advance. Therefore, five percent (5%) of Gross Revenues shall be
                paid over in cash in each calendar month after the Effective
                Date into a Reserve Fund (as hereinafter defined) to pay for
                Capital Improvements and FF&E Replacements. In lieu of funding
                monthly into the Reserve Fund as contemplated above, Owner shall
                have the right, but not the obligation, to deposit into the
                Reserve Fund, on or about the commencement of each year, the
                full amount set forth in the Capital Budget and FF&E Budget.
                Manager shall establish a reserve for Capital Improvements and
                FF&E Replacements on the books of account for the Hotel and the
                cash amounts required for such reserve shall be placed into an
                interest-bearing account (the "Reserve Fund") established in the
                Hotel's name at the bank at which the Bank Account(s) are
                established, with Manager's designees being the only authorized
                signatories on said account. All amounts on deposit in the
                Reserve Fund shall be Owner's. Any expenditures for Capital
                Improvements and FF&E Replacements during any calendar year
                which have been included in an approved Capital Budget or FF&E
                Budget may be made without Owner's or Fee Owner's additional
                approval and, to the extent available, shall be made by Manager
                from the Reserve Fund (including accrued interest and unused
                accumulations from prior calendar years). Any amounts remaining
                in the Reserve Fund at the close of each calendar year shall be
                carried forward and retained in the Reserve Fund until fully
                used as herein provided. To the extent the Reserve Fund is
                insufficient at a particular time or to the extent the Reserve
                Fund plus anticipated contributions for the ensuing calendar
                year is less than the budgeted expenditures set forth in the
                approved Capital Budget for the ensuing calendar year then in
                either such event, Manager shall give Owner written notice
                thereof at least sixty (60) days before the anticipated date
                such funds will be needed. Owner shall supply the necessary
                funds by deposit to the Reserve Fund at least fifteen (15) days
                before the anticipated date such funds will be needed. All
                proceeds from the sale of capital items no longer needed for the
                operation of the Hotel shall be deposited to the Reserve Fund.
                All proceeds from the sale of fixtures, furniture or equipment
                no longer needed for the operation of the Hotel shall be
                allocated primarily to the cost of replacement of such fixtures,
                furniture or equipment, and, secondarily, in the event of
                proceeds in excess of such cost, to the Reserve Fund to the
                extent necessary to satisfy Owner's obligation to fund the same
                in accordance herewith, and, thirdly, if the Reserve Fund is
                fully funded in accordance herewith, any remaining proceeds
                shall be paid directly to Owner. (The parties hereby confirm
                that proceeds from the sale of capital items or fixtures,
                furniture or equipment shall be excluded from the computation of
                Gross Revenues hereunder). Sale of such items shall be at the
                discretion of Manager, and conducted in a commercially
                reasonable manner. Manager shall not dispose of any capital item
                or group of

Page 13

<PAGE>

                capital items having a value in excess of ten thousand dollars
                ($10,000) without Owner's prior written consent unless the
                replacement of such capital item or group of capital items has
                been contemplated in the applicable Capital Budget or FF&E
                Budget. Manager also shall obtain the consent of Owner's
                Leasehold Mortgagee when required for any disposition of capital
                items otherwise prohibited under the terms of Owner's Mortgage
                Documents, provided, however, that to the extent any capital
                item is being replaced because the same is defective or obsolete
                or with an item of equal or greater value no such consent need
                be obtained from Owner's Leasehold Mortgagee. Upon termination
                of this Agreement for whatever reason or upon sale of the Hotel,
                Manager's right to expend any unused portion of the Reserve Fund
                shall terminate and the balance of the Reserve Fund shall be
                paid over to Owner, less any sums then due Manager.

                To the extent any expenditure under this Section 4.01(v) shall
                exceed twenty thousand dollars ($20,000), Manager shall first
                solicit bids from at least three (3) different reputable and
                qualified third parties, and the lowest of the bidders shall be
                selected unless acceptance of a higher bid has been approved by
                Owner in writing or unless Manager provides a reasonably
                detailed explanation for its selection of a bid higher than the
                lowest of the bidders;

        (vi)    Payments to Manager. Owner shall promptly pay to Manager all
                amounts due Manager under this Agreement;

        (vii)   Owner's Representative. Owner shall appoint a representative to
                represent Owner in all matters relating to this Agreement and/or
                the Hotel ("Owner's Representative"). Owner's initial Owner's
                Representative shall be the individual named on Exhibit "B".
                Manager shall have the right to deal solely with the Owner's
                Representative on all such matters. Manager may rely upon
                statements and representations of Owner's Representative as
                being from and binding upon Owner. Owner may change its Owner's
                Representative from time to time by providing written notice to
                Manager in the manner provided for herein. Owner shall cause the
                Owner's Representative to attend all quarterly meetings referred
                to in Section 3.01(xiii);

        (viii)  Owner's Audits. Owner shall have the right to have its
                independent accounting firm examine the books and records of the
                Hotel at any reasonable time upon forty-eight
                (48) hours notice to Manager;

        (ix)    Right of Inspection and Review. Owner, Owner's Leasehold
                Mortgagee, Fee Owner and Fee Owner's Mortgagee and their
                respective accountants, attorneys, agents and other
                representatives and invitees, shall have the right to enter upon
                any part of the Hotel at all reasonable times during normal
                business hours and during the Term of this Agreement upon
                reasonable prior notice to Manager for the purpose of examining
                or inspecting the Hotel, showing the Hotel to prospective
                purchasers or mortgagees, or auditing, examining or making
                extracts of books and records of the Hotel, or for any other
                purpose which Owner, in its reasonable discretion, shall deem
                necessary or advisable, but the same shall be

Page 14

<PAGE>

                done with as little disruption to the business of the Hotel as
                under the circumstances is reasonable; and

        (x)     Quiet and Peaceable Operation. Owner shall ensure that Manager
                is able to peaceably and quietly operate the Hotel in accordance
                with the terms of this Agreement, free from molestation,
                eviction and disturbance by Owner or by any other person or
                persons claiming by, through or under Owner. Owner shall
                undertake and prosecute all reasonable and appropriate actions,
                judicial or otherwise, required to assure such quiet and
                peaceable operations by Manager.

Bank Account(s) the Management Fees calculated in the manner set forth on

                Services, allocated on the same basis as allocated to Other
                Managed Hotels. Such allocations shall be certified to Owner by
                Manager's independent accounting firm on an annual basis. As

                services and facilities as Manager shall hereafter furnish to
                Other Managed Hotels as a group or regionally (except to the
                extent the fees for such services are reimbursed by licensee to
                licensor under the License Agreement). Subject to the
                limitations provided in Section 3.01(xix)(e) of this Agreement,

                the Group Services made available to the Hotel by Manager. Owner
                further agrees that the Hotel shall honor all credit cards

                employees of Manager and its affiliates, and (ii) all regional
                officers of Manager and its affiliates who are not assigned to
                the Hotel, while working on an assignment for the specific
                benefit of the Hotel, which are incurred in performing their
                duties hereunder in connection with any phase of the operation
                of the Hotel in accordance with the policies of Manager then in
                effect, or as otherwise approved in writing by Owner;

        (d)     the compensation and expenses paid or reimbursed by Manager or
                its affiliates to all independent consultants rendering services
                to the Hotel if and to the extent contemplated in the Operating
                Budget, Capital Budget or FF&E Budget for such operating year or

        (f)     all fees, charges and contributions to licensor and its
                affiliates under the License Agreement; and

        (g)     all other expenditures which are authorized, permitted or
                required under the provisions of this Agreement which have been

        It is agreed that, to the extent the entire amount of expenses
        reimbursable to Manager or its affiliates under the provisions of this
        Section 5.02, or under any other provisions of this Agreement, is not
        incurred solely for the benefit of the Hotel, then such amount or
        expense shall be fairly and appropriately allocated.

        Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Manager shall be
        entitled to reimburse itself and its affiliates for the above items out
        of the Bank Accounts, or, if the Bank Accounts do not contain adequate
        funds to pay such amounts, Manager may submit statements covering such
        items to Owner, and Owner will pay to Manager or its affiliate(s), as
        applicable, the amount indicated thereon promptly upon the receipt of
        such statements.

                              CLAIMS AND LIABILITY

        Section 6.01.  Claims and Liability. Owner and Manager mutually agree
for the benefit of each other to look only to the appropriate insurance
coverages in effect pursuant to this Agreement in the event any demand, claim,
action, damage, loss, liability or expense occurs as a result of injury to
person or damage to property regardless whether any such demand, claim, action,
damage, loss, liability or expense is caused or contributed to, by or results
from the negligence of Owner or Manager or their subsidiaries, affiliates,
employees, directors, officers, agents or independent contractors and regardless
whether the injury to person or damage to

Page 16

<PAGE>

property occurs in and about the Hotel or elsewhere as a result of the
performance of this Agreement. Nevertheless, in the event the insurance proceeds
are insufficient or there is no insurance coverage to satisfy the demand, claim,
action, loss, liability or expense and the same did not arise out of the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Manager, Owner agrees, at its expense, to
indemnify and hold Manager and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers,
directors, employees, agents or independent contractors harmless to the extent
of the excess liability.

        Section 6.02.  Survival. The provisions of this Article 6 shall survive
any cancellation, termination or expiration of this Agreement and shall remain
in full force and effect until such time as the applicable statute of limitation
shall cut off all demands, claims, actions, damages, losses, liabilities or
expenses which are the subject of the provisions of this Article 6.

                                    ARTICLE 7

                         CLOSURE, EMERGENCIES AND DELAYS

        Section 7.01.  Events of Force Majeure. If at any time during the Term
of this Agreement it becomes necessary, in Manager's opinion, to cease operation
of the Hotel in order to protect the Hotel and/or the health, safety and welfare
of the guests and/or employees of the Hotel for reasons beyond the reasonable
control of Manager, such as, but not limited to, acts of war, insurrection,
civil strife and commotion, labor unrest, governmental regulations and orders,
shortage or lack of adequate supplies or lack of skilled or unskilled employees,
contagious illness, catastrophic events or acts of God, which shall not include
Manager's computer systems and software not being able accurately to process
data and information ("Force Majeure"), then in such event or similar events
Manager may close and cease operation of all or any part of the Hotel, reopening
and commencing operation when Manager deems that such may be done without
jeopardy to the Hotel, its guests and employees.

        Manager and Owner agree, except as otherwise provided herein, that the
time within which a party is required to perform an obligation and Manager's
right to manage the Hotel under this Agreement shall be extended for a period of
time equivalent to the period of delay caused by an event of Force Majeure.

        Section 7.02.  Emergencies. If a condition of an emergency nature should
exist which requires that immediate repairs be made for the preservation and
protection of the Hotel, its guests or employees, or to assure the continued
operation of the Hotel, Manager is authorized to take all actions and to make
all expenditures necessary to repair and correct such condition, regardless
whether provisions have been made in the applicable budget for such emergency
expenditures. Expenditures made by Manager in connection with an emergency shall
be paid, in Manager's sole discretion, out of the Bank Account(s). Owner shall
immediately replenish such funds paid from the Bank Account(s). Manager shall
endeavor to communicate with Owner prior to making any expenditures to correct
an emergency condition, but in any event shall promptly notify Owner after the
emergency expenditures have been made.

                                    ARTICLE 8

                            CONDEMNATION AND CASUALTY

        Section 8.01.  Condemnation. If the Hotel is taken in any eminent
domain, expropriation, condemnation, compulsory acquisition or similar
proceeding by a competent authority, this Agreement shall automatically
terminate as of the date of taking or condemnation. Any compensation for the
taking or condemnation of the physical facility comprising the Hotel shall be
paid to Owner. Manager, however, with the full cooperation of Owner, shall have
the right to file a claim with the appropriate authorities for the loss of
Management Fee income for the remainder of the Term and any extension thereof
because of the condemnation or taking. If only a portion of the Hotel is so
taken and the taking does not make it unreasonable or imprudent, in Manager's
and Owner's opinion, to operate the remainder as a hotel of the type immediately
preceding such taking, this Agreement shall not terminate. Any compensation
shall be used, however, in whole or in part, to render the Hotel a complete and
satisfactory architectural unit as a hotel of the same type and class as it was
immediately preceding such taking or condemnation.

        Section 8.02.  Casualty. In the event of a fire or other casualty, Owner
shall comply with the terms of the License Agreement and this Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect so long as the License Agreement remains in full
force and effect.

                                    ARTICLE 9

                               TERMINATION RIGHTS

        Section 9.01.  Bankruptcy and Dissolution. If either party is
voluntarily or involuntarily dissolved or declared bankrupt, insolvent, or
commits an act of bankruptcy, or if a party enters into liquidation whether
compulsory or voluntary otherwise than for the purpose of amalgamation or
reconstruction, or compounds with its creditors, or has a receiver appointed
over all or any part of its assets, or passes title in lieu of foreclosure, the
other party may terminate this Agreement immediately upon serving notice to the
other party, without liability on the part of the terminating party.

        Section 9.02.  Manager's Termination Right Upon the Termination of
License Agreement. If the License Agreement is terminated for any reason,
Manager may terminate this Agreement immediately upon serving notice to Owner,
without liability on the part of Manager. Upon such termination, unless
specifically provided otherwise herein, Manager shall be entitled to receive the
Sale Termination Fee calculated in the manner set forth on Exhibit "B".
Notwithstanding anything contained herein, Manager shall not be entitled to
receive the Sale Termination Fee if the License Agreement is terminated because
of Manager's failure to perform its obligations hereunder and Manager's failure
was not caused by the failure of Owner to perform its obligations hereunder.

        Section 9.03.  (a) Owner Default. The following shall, at the election
of Manager, constitute events of default by Owner under this Agreement (each
such event being referred to herein as an "Owner Default"):

Page 18

<PAGE>

        (i)     The failure of Owner to pay any amount to Manager provided for
                herein for a period of ten (10) days after written notice by
                Manager of such failure to pay.

        (ii)    Failure of Owner to keep or perform any duty, obligation,
                covenant or agreement of Owner under this Agreement (other than
                the obligation to pay that is the subject of paragraph (i)
                above) and such failure continues for a period of thirty (30)
                days after receipt of written notice thereof from Manager;
                provided, however, if such failure cannot reasonably be remedied
                or corrected within such thirty (30) day period, then such
                thirty (30) day period shall be extended for such additional
                period as may be reasonably required to cure such default but
                only if Owner promptly commences to cure such default and
                continues thereafter with all due diligence to complete such a
                cure to the satisfaction of Manager.

        (iii)   The occurrence of a default under or other termination of the
                Percentage Lease.

        (iv)    The occurrence of a material default under the Mortgage
                Documents, which default is not cured and results in
                acceleration of the indebtedness secured thereby, or the
                exercise of any possessory rights or rights to the appointment
                of a receiver in favor of the Leasehold Mortgagee.

        (v)     Intentionally Omitted.

        On the occurrence of any Owner Default, Manager shall have the right to
terminate this Agreement by written notice to Owner, in addition to its rights
to seek damages or other remedies available to it at law or in equity.

        (b) Manager Default. The following shall, at the election of Owner,
constitute an event of default by Manager under this Agreement (such event being
referred to herein as the "Manager Default"): Failure of Manager to keep or
perform any duty, obligation, covenant or agreement of Manager under this
Agreement and such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after
receipt of written notice thereof from Owner; provided, however, if such failure
cannot reasonably be remedied or corrected within such thirty (30) day period,
then such thirty (30) day period shall be extended for such additional period as
may be reasonably required to cure such default provided that Manager promptly
commences to cure such default and continues thereafter with all due diligence
to complete such cure to the satisfaction of Owner. Upon the occurrence of any
Manager Default, Owner shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by
written notice to Manager, in addition to its right to seek damages or other
remedies available to it at law or in equity.

        Section 9.04.  Owner's - Termination Rights. (a) Provided Owner is not
in default  under this  Agreement  at the time of  delivery  of the  Termination
Notice (as defined herein) or on the Termination Date (as defined herein), Owner
shall have the right,  after the tenth  anniversary  of the  Effective  Date, to
terminate this Agreement by giving  written notice (a  "Termination  Notice") to
Manager setting forth an effective  termination date which shall be the last day
of a month (the  "Termination  Date")  and which  shall be not less than six (6)
months  nor more than  twelve  (12)  months  after the date of such  Termination
Notice and shall in no event be prior to the tenth  anniversary of the Effective
Date. If Owner terminates this Agreement pursuant to this

Page 19

<PAGE>

Section 9.04(a), in addition to payment of all other fees and reimbursable sums
due to Manager on the Termination Date, Manager shall have the right to receive
the Cancellation Termination Fee calculated in the manner set forth on Exhibit
"B". Such termination shall be effective so long as on or before the Termination
Date Owner pays to Manager the Cancellation Termination Fee and all amounts
determined by Owner and Manager, each acting reasonably and in good faith, to be
due and owing to Manager pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

        (b) (i) Provided Owner is not in default under this Agreement, Owner
shall have the right to terminate this Agreement if, beginning in the first full
calendar year of Hotel operations, Manager fails to (A) achieve, in any two (2)
consecutive calendar years, a Gross Operating Profit (as herein defined) which
is at least eighty-five percent (85%) of the amount set forth in the respective
annual Operating Budget for Gross Operating Profit ("Budgeted GOP") and (B)
during each of the two (2) immediately preceding calendar years, the Hotel's
Yield Index (as reported in the "Star Report" published by Smith Travel
Services) versus the Competitive Set is below the agreed upon Base Yield Index
of the Hotel for each of the applicable calendar years; provided, however, that,
in the case of (A) if within sixty (60) days of receipt of a notice from Owner
that Owner intends to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section
9.04(b)(i), Manager pays in cash to Owner the difference between the achieved
Gross Operating Profit and eighty-five percent (85%) of the Budgeted GOP for the
second of the two (2) consecutive calendar years in which shortfalls occurred,
then Owner shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement. If Owner is
entitled to and elects to terminate this Agreement, Owner shall give written
notice to Manager within ninety (90) days after the later of (x) Owner's receipt
of the annual financial statements for the calendar year pursuant to Section
3.01(vi) and the date of publication of information regarding the Yield Index of
the hotels within the Competitive Set by Smith Travel Services. If such notice
is not provided by Owner to Manager within such ninety (90) day period, Owner
shall be deemed to have waived its right hereunder to terminate this Agreement
with respect to the calendar year as to which the failure occurred. In the event
Owner has the right to terminate with respect to a calendar year but waives such
right, Owner's right to terminate shall carry forward and shall be applicable to
the next succeeding calendar year if Manager fails to achieve eighty-five
percent (85%) of the Budgeted GOP and Competitive Set tests for the next
succeeding year, subject to Manager's right to cure for such calendar year. For
purposes of this section, the term "Gross Operating Profit" shall mean the
amount, if any, by which Gross Revenues for any calendar year exceed operating
costs for such calendar year.

        (ii) The provisions of clause (b)(i) above shall not apply in any
calendar year in which the operation of the Hotel, or the use of the Hotel's
facilities, are significantly disrupted by casualty loss, strike, eminent
domain, or other events of Force Majeure that are beyond the reasonable control
of Manager, or major repairs to or refurbishment of the Hotel. In the event
Owner exercises the right of termination contemplated in clause (b)(i) above
Owner shall have no obligation to pay any termination fee or other damages to
Manager as a consequence of such termination, except that Owner shall be liable
to Manager and shall pay immediately upon such termination all fees earned and
other amounts and expenses payable or reimbursable to Manager pursuant to this
Agreement.

        Section 9.05.  Manager's Right to Terminate Upon Sale. If there is to be
a "Change in Ownership" as defined in the License Agreement and the new owner of
the Hotel has not received a Homewood Suites by Hilton(R) License Agreement for
the operation of the Hotel (for

Page 20

<PAGE>

purposes of this Section 9.05, said agreement shall be referred to as the "New
License Agreement"), Manager shall have the right upon giving notice to Owner to
terminate this Agreement on the date the Change of Ownership occurs. If there is
a Change of Ownership and the new owner of the Hotel receives a New License
Agreement, but does not enter into an assumption agreement, pursuant to which
the new owner assumes all of Owner's obligations hereunder with Manager prior to
the date the Change of Ownership occurs, Manager shall have the right, upon
giving notice to Owner, to terminate this Agreement on the date the Change of
Ownership occurs. If Manager terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Section
9.05 (in addition to payment of all other fees and reimbursable sums due to
Manager to the date of termination), Manager shall have the right to receive the
Sale Termination Fee calculated in the manner set forth on Exhibit "B". If a
Change of Ownership occurs, and the new owner obtains a New License Agreement
and the new owner and Manager enter into an assumption agreement pursuant to
which this Agreement remains in full force and effect, Manager shall not receive
a Termination Fee and references in this Agreement to License Agreement shall be
to the New License Agreement with such new owner.

        Section 9.06.  Delays. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, if any event of the type described in Article 7 or 8 occurs after the
Effective Date and Manager is unable to operate the Hotel for a period of ninety
(90) days, Manager shall have the option to terminate this Agreement upon thirty
(30) days' prior written notice to Owner, without liability on the part of
Manager, its parent or their subsidiaries or affiliates.

        Section 9.07.  Employment Solicitation Restriction Upon Termination.
Owner and its affiliates and subsidiaries and their successors hereby agree not
to solicit the employment of the Hotel general manager, assistant general
manager or director of sales at any time during the Term of this Agreement
without Manager's prior written approval. Furthermore, Owner and its affiliates
and subsidiaries and successors agree not to employ the Hotel's general manager,
assistant general manager or director of sales for a period of twelve (12)
months after the termination or expiration of this Agreement, without Manager's
prior written approval.

        Section 9.08.  Transition Upon Termination. Upon any termination of this
Agreement, all fees and payments due to Manager as of the effective date of
termination, including all accrued and unpaid fees and reimbursable charges and
expenses, shall be paid to Manager within ten (10) days after delivery to Owner
of an itemized statement of such fees and payments. Manager shall be entitled to
exercise the right of setoff provided in Section 11.16 hereof with respect to
such fees, charges and expenses. Manager shall deliver to Owner, or such other
person or persons as Owner may designate, copies of all books and records of the
Hotel and all funds in the possession of Manager belonging to Owner or received
by Manager pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall assign, transfer
or convey to such person or persons all service contracts and personal property
relating to or used in the operation and maintenance of the Hotel, except any
personal property which is owned by Manager. Manager also shall, for a period of
thirty (30) days after such expiration or termination, make itself available to
consult with and advise Owner or such other person or persons regarding the
operation and maintenance of the Hotel at a consultation fee to be agreed upon
between Manager and Owner.

        Section 9.09.  Loss of Alcohol License. If for any reason not caused by
the act or omission of Manager, any required licenses for the sale of alcoholic
beverages are at any time

Page 21

<PAGE>

suspended, terminated or revoked and such suspension, termination or revocation
shall continue for a period of sixty (60) consecutive days, or if, for any
reason not caused by the act or omission of Manager, the right to serve
alcoholic beverages in the Hotel shall otherwise be suspended for a period of
sixty (60) consecutive days, then Manager shall have the right to terminate this
Agreement upon written notice to Owner given at any time following the
occurrence of any such event, and this Agreement shall terminate upon the date
specified therein, which date shall be not less than thirty (30) days nor more
than seventy-five (75) days after the date of the giving of such notice.

        Section 9.10.  Indemnification re Future Business. Owner shall indemnify
and hold Manager and its affiliates harmless from all costs, expenses, claims
and liabilities, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising or resulting from
the failure of Owner, following the expiration or earlier termination (for
whatever cause) of this Agreement, (i) to provide all of the services contracted
for within the scope and terms of this Agreement in connection with the business
booked in the ordinary course of business at any time prior to the date of such
expiration or termination, (ii) if and to the extent required by any contracts
or leases entered into in the ordinary course of business of the Hotel by
Manager as agent of Owner within the scope and terms of this Agreement prior to
such expiration or termination, to honor and fulfill all obligations of Owner
thereunder with respect to the Hotel, or (iii) to honor all purchase orders and
to pay all payables arising out of the operation by Manager of the Hotel in the
ordinary course of business in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement
prior to such expiration or termination, (iv) to pay or reimburse Manager for
all Compensation due to the employees of the Hotel or to make, or reimburse
Manager for, all contributions or other payments required to meet its
obligations under or with respect to all employee benefit plans for the period
prior to such expiration or termination, or (v) if and to the extent applicable
pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.11 hereinbelow, (A) to reimburse Manager
for any liabilities arising under the WARN Acts, and (B) to the extent Owner or
its new manager hires Hotel Personnel, to pay all Compensation due to such Hotel
Personnel after such expiration or termination of this Agreement.

        Section 9.11.  Extension Date of Termination. Notwithstanding any
contrary provision of this Agreement, the date of termination of this Agreement,
other than upon expiration pursuant to Section 2.01, shall be extended so that
the date of termination after notice of termination is given to or by Manager
shall be on a date which is not earlier than fifteen (15) days plus the number
of days, if any, Manager is required to give its employees advance notice of
termination of employment as required by the Worker Adjustment and Retraining
Act, 29 U.S.C., Section 2101 et. seq., as hereafter amended, or any similar
federal or state statute ("WARN Acts"); provided, however, that this provision
shall not be applicable if Owner or its new hotel manager hires a sufficient
number of Hotel Personnel in order for Manager to avoid incurring liability
under the WARN Acts in connection with such termination, and Owner shall
indemnify and hold Manager and its affiliates harmless from all costs, expenses,
claims and liabilities, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising or
resulting from any such liability under the WARN Acts.

                         APPLICABLE LAW AND ARBITRATION

        Section 10.01. Applicable Law. The interpretation, validity and
performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the procedural and
substantive laws of the State or Commonwealth in which the Hotel is located, and
any and all disputes, except those specifically referred to below, shall be
brought and maintained within that state. If any judicial authority holds or
declares that the law of another jurisdiction is applicable, this Agreement
shall remain enforceable under the laws of that jurisdiction.

        Section 10.02. Arbitration of Financial Matters.

                Subsection 10.02.1. Matters to be Submitted to Arbitration. In
        the case of a dispute with respect to any of the following matters,
        either party may submit such matter to arbitration which shall be
        conducted by the Accountants (as hereinafter defined in Subsection
        10.02.2): (a) computation of the Management Fees; (b) reimbursements due
        to Manager under this Agreement; (c) any adjustment in the Minimum
        Balance under the provisions of Section 4.01(iv); (d) any adjustment in
        dollar amounts of insurance coverages required to be maintained; (e) any
        dispute concerning the apportionment of compensation for any taking
        contemplated under Section 8.01 of this Agreement; and (f) any dispute
        concerning the approval of an Operating Budget, Capital Budget or FF&E
        Budget.

                All disputes concerning the above matters shall be submitted to
        the Accountants. The decision of the Accountants with respect to any
        matters submitted to them under this Subsection 10.02.1 shall be binding
        on both parties hereto. The parties hereby agree and acknowledge that
        disputes relating to the Group Services, or the allocation or
        computation of costs or expenses relating thereto, shall not be subject
        to the terms of this Section 10.02 and may not be submitted to the
        Accountants for arbitration.

                Subsection 10.02.2. The Accountants. The "Accountants" shall be
        one of three (3) firms of certified public accountants of recognized
        national standing in the hotel industry. Until otherwise agreed to by
        the parties, the three (3) firms shall be PriceWaterhouseCoopers, Ernst
        & Young, and Deloitte and Touche, notwithstanding any existing
        relationships which may exist between Owner and such accounting firms or
        Manager and such accounting firms. The party desiring to submit any
        matter to arbitration under Subsection 10.02.1 shall do so by written
        notice to the other party, which notice shall set forth the items to be
        arbitrated and such party's choice of one of the three (3) accounting
        firms. The party receiving such notice shall within fifteen (15) days
        after receipt of such notice either approve such choice, or designate
        one of the remaining two (2) firms by written notice back to the first
        party, and the first party shall within fifteen (15) days after receipt
        of such notice either approve such choice or disapprove the same. If
        both parties shall have approved one of the three (3) firms under the
        preceding sentence, then such firm shall be the "Accountants" for the
        purposes of arbitrating the dispute; if the parties are unable to agree
        on an accounting firm, then the third firm, which was not designated by
        either party, shall be the "Accountants" for such

Page 23

<PAGE>

        purpose. The Accountants shall be required to render a decision in
        accordance with the procedures described in Subsection 10.02.3 within
        fifteen (15) days after being notified of their selection. The fees and
        expenses of the Accountants will be paid by the non-prevailing party.

                Subsection 10.02.3. Procedures. In all arbitration proceedings
        submitted to the Accountants, the Accountants shall be required to agree
        upon and approve the substantive position advocated by Owner or Manager
        with respect to each disputed item. Any decision rendered by the
        Accountants that does not reflect the position advocated by Owner or
        Manager shall be beyond the scope of authority granted to the
        Accountants and, consequently, may be overturned by either party. All
        proceedings by the Accountants shall be conducted in accordance with the
        Uniform Arbitration Act, except to the extent the provisions of such act
        are modified by this Agreement or the mutual agreement of the parties.
        Unless otherwise agreed, all arbitration proceedings shall be conducted
        at the Hotel.

        Section 10.03. Performance During Disputes. It is mutually agreed that
during any kind of controversy, claim, disagreement or dispute, including a
dispute as to the validity of this Agreement, Manager shall remain in possession
of the Hotel as Manager; and Owner and Manager shall continue their performance
of the provisions of this Agreement and its exhibits. Manager shall be entitled
to injunctive relief from a civil court or other competent authority to maintain
possession in the event of a threatened eviction during any dispute,
controversy, claim or disagreement arising out of this Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE 11

                               GENERAL PROVISIONS

        Section 11.01. Authorization. Owner and Manager represent and warrant to
each other that their respective corporations have full power and authority to
execute this Agreement and to be bound by and perform the terms hereof. On
request, each party shall furnish the other evidence of such authority.

        Section 11.02. Relationship. Manager and Owner shall not be construed as
joint venturers or partners of each other by reason of this Agreement and
neither shall have the power to bind or obligate the other except as set forth
in this Agreement.

        Section 11.03. Manager's Contractual Authority in the Performance of
this Agreement. Manager is authorized to make, enter into and perform in the
name of and for the account of Owner any contracts deemed necessary by Manager
to perform its obligations under this Agreement. In exercising its authority
hereunder, Manager shall be entitled to execute and enter into contracts without
the specific approval of Owner and Fee Owner so long as each such contract (i)
requires expenditures or otherwise establishes liability of twenty-five thousand
dollars ($25,000) or less and (ii) has a term (excluding options in favor of
Manager and Owner to renew) of one (1) year or less or can be cancelled without
penalty upon sixty (60) days' notice or less, provided, however, that any
contract entered into pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 4.01(v) shall be
governed by the provisions of said Section 4.01(v). Any contract that does not

Page 24

<PAGE>

satisfy the conditions set forth in the preceding sentence shall require the
prior approval in each instance of Owner, regardless whether such expenditure is
authorized in an applicable budget, unless the form of the contract proposed to
be entered into has been approved in advance by Owner. Owner agrees to promptly
respond to any request for approval and further agrees that its consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Manager shall be authorized to enter
into contracts with affiliates of Manager, but only so long as Owner shall have
approved in advance the cost of the service or product to be provided.

        Section 11.04. Further Actions. Owner and Manager agree to execute all
contracts, agreements and documents and to take all actions necessary to comply
with the provisions of this Agreement and the intent hereof.

        Section 11.05. Successors and Assigns. Owner's consent shall not be
required for Manager to assign any of its rights, interests or obligations as
Manager hereunder to any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Manager or Hilton
Hotels Corporation, provided that any such assignee agrees to be bound by the
terms and conditions of this Agreement and provided, further, that such assignee
has received an assignment of all or substantially all of the management
agreements entered into by Manager with respect to other Homewood Suites by
Hilton(R) hotels. The acquisition of Manager or its parent company by a third
party shall not constitute an assignment of this Agreement by Manager and this
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect between Owner and Manager, as
long as the third party acquirer shall continue to own and operate the Homewood
Suites "System". Except as herein provided, Manager shall not assign any of its
obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Owner, which shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Owner shall be deemed to have consented
to such an assignment of this Agreement if Owner has not notified Manager in
writing to the contrary within fifteen (15) days after Owner has received
Manager's request for Owner's consent to an assignment. Manager shall have the
right to pledge or assign its right to receive the Management Fees hereunder
without the prior written consent of Owner.

        Owner shall not have the right to assign this Agreement.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither any transfer of publicly traded
stock nor any public offering of equity ownership interests (whether partnership
interest, corporate stock, shares, or otherwise) in either party or by its
parent company or other owner of such party, or entity that itself or through
its ownership of legal or beneficial interests in one or more other entities
holds legal or beneficial interests or voting power in such an owner shall be
deemed to be a sale, lease or assignment under the provisions of this Section
11.05.

        Section 11.06. Notices. All notices or other communications provided for
in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be either hand delivered,
delivered by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested,
delivered by an overnight delivery service, or delivered by facsimile machine
(with an executed original sent the same day by an overnight delivery service),
addressed as set forth on Exhibit "B". Notices shall be deemed delivered on the
date that is four (4) calendar days after the notice is deposited in the U.S.
mail (not counting the mailing date) if sent by certified mail, or, if hand
delivered, on the date the hand delivery is made, or if delivered by facsimile
machine, on the date the transmission is made. If given by an overnight delivery
service, the notice shall be deemed delivered on the next business day

service. The addresses given above may be changed by any party by notice given
in the manner provided herein.

        Section 11.07. Documents. Owner shall furnish Manager copies of all
leases, title documents, property tax receipts and bills, insurance statements,
all financing documents (including notes and mortgages) relating to the Hotel
and such other documents pertaining to the Hotel as Manager shall reasonably
request.

        Section 11.08. Defense. Manager shall defend and/or settle any claim or
legal action brought against Manager or Owner, individually, jointly or
severally in connection with the operation of the Hotel. Manager shall retain
and supervise legal counsel, accountants and such other professionals,
consultants and specialists as Manager deems appropriate to defend and/or settle
any such claim or cause of action. Owner shall have the right to participate
actively in the defense of any such claim or cause of action in which Owner is a
named defendant. Owner's approval shall be required with respect to any proposed
settlement of any claim or cause of action in which Owner is a named party or
that is not covered by insurance (excluding any deductible amount specified in
the applicable policy of insurance). Manager shall confer with Owner concerning
any settlement proposal that Manager is considering accepting, regardless of
whether Owner is a named party, but Owner's approval shall not be required if
Owner is not a named party and the settlement is covered by insurance. All
liabilities, costs, and expenses, including attorneys' fees and disbursements,
incurred in defending and/or settling any such claim or legal action which are
not covered by insurance shall be paid by Owner.

        Section 11.09. Waivers. No failure or delay by Manager or Owner to
insist upon the strict performance of any covenant, agreement, term or condition
of this Agreement, or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon the breach
thereof, shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or any subsequent breach
of such covenant, agreement, term or condition. No covenant, agreement, term, or
condition of this Agreement and no breach thereof shall be waived, altered or
modified except by written instrument. No waiver of any breach shall affect or
alter this Agreement, but each and every covenant, agreement, term and condition
of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any
other then existing or subsequent breach thereof.

        Section 11.10. Changes. Any change to or modification of this Agreement,
including, without limitation, any change in the application of this Agreement
to the Hotel, must be evidenced by a written document signed by both parties
hereto.

        Section 11.11. Captions. The captions for each Article and Section are
intended for convenience only.

        Section 11.12. Severability. If any of the terms and provisions hereof
shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability
shall not affect any of the other terms or provisions hereof. If, however, any
material part of a party's rights under this Agreement shall be declared invalid
or unenforceable (specifically including Manager's right to receive its
Management Fees), the party whose rights have been declared invalid or
unenforceable shall have the option to terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30)
days' written notice to the other party, without liability on the part of the
terminating party.

        Section 11.13. Interest. Any amount payable to Manager or Owner by the
other which has not been paid when due shall accrue interest at the lesser of:
(a) the highest legal limit in the state in which the Hotel is located or (b)
two percentage points (2%) over the published base rate of interest charged by
Citibank, N.A., New York, New York, to borrowers on ninety (90) day unsecured
commercial loans, as the same may be changed from time to time.

        Section 11.14. Reimbursement. The performance by Manager of its
responsibilities under this Agreement are conditioned upon Owner providing
sufficient funds to Manager on a timely basis to enable Manager to perform its
obligations hereunder. Nevertheless, Manager shall be entitled, at its option,
after first providing not less than ten (10) days' prior written notice to Owner
specifying the obligations to be satisfied and the amount of money to be
advanced, to advance funds or contribute property, on behalf of Owner, to
satisfy obligations of Owner in connection with the Hotel and this Agreement.
Manager shall keep appropriate records to document all reimbursable expenses
paid by Manager, which records shall be made available for inspection by Owner
or its agents upon request. Owner agrees to reimburse Manager with interest upon
demand for money paid or property contributed by Manager to satisfy obligations
of Owner in connection with the Hotel and this Agreement. Interest shall be
calculated at the rate set forth in Section 11.13 from the date Owner was
obligated to remit the funds or contribute the property for the satisfaction of
such obligation to the date reimbursement is made.

        Section 11.15. Travel and Out-of-Pocket Expenses. Manager shall be
reimbursed for all reasonable travel and out-of-pocket expenses of all regional
officers and employees of Manager and its affiliates reasonably incurred in the
performance of this Agreement, provided, however, that travel and out-of-pocket
expenses of non-regional corporate officers, Senior Vice Presidents and higher
ranking executive officers of Manager, its parent and affiliates shall not be
reimbursable by Owner. Manager shall have sole discretion, which shall not be
unreasonably exercised, to determine the necessity for such travel or other
expenses.

        Section 11.16. Set-Off. Without prejudice to Manager's right to
terminate this Agreement pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, Manager
may at any time and without notice to Owner set off or transfer any sum or sums
held by Manager or its affiliates to the order or on behalf of Owner or Fee
Owner or standing to the credit of Owner or Fee Owner in the Bank Account(s) in
or towards satisfaction of any of Owner's liabilities to Manager in respect of
all sums due to Manager under the terms of this Agreement.

        Section 11.17. Third Party Beneficiary. This Agreement is exclusively
for the benefit of the parties hereto and it may not be enforced by any party
other than the parties to this Agreement and shall not give rise to liability to
any third party other than the authorized successors and assigns of the parties
hereto.

        Section 11.18. Brokerage. Manager and Owner represent and warrant to
each other that neither has sought the services of a broker, finder or agent in
this transaction, and neither has employed, nor authorized, any other person to
act in such capacity. Manager and Owner each hereby agrees to indemnify and hold
the other harmless from and against any and all claims, loss, liability, damage
or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) suffered or incurred by the
other party as a result of a claim brought by a person or entity engaged or
claiming to be engaged as a finder, broker or agent by the indemnifying party.

        Section 11.19. Survival of Covenants. Any covenant, term or provision of
this Agreement which, in order to be effective, must survive the termination of
this Agreement, shall survive any such termination.

        Section 11.20. Estoppel Certificate. Manager and Owner agree to furnish
to the other party, from time to time upon request, an estoppel certificate in
such reasonable form as the requesting party may request stating whether there
have been any defaults under this Agreement known to the party furnishing the
estoppel certificate and such other information relating to the Hotel as may be
reasonably requested.

        Section 11.21. Other Agreements. Except to the extent as may now or
hereafter be specifically provided, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be
deemed to modify any other agreement between Owner and Manager with respect to
the Hotel or any other property. This Agreement contains the entire agreement
between Owner and Manager regarding the management of the Hotel.

        Section 11.22. Periods of Time. Whenever any determination is to be made
or action is to be taken on a date specified in this Agreement, if such date
shall fall on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday under the laws of the states
of Tennessee and Virginia and/or the state in which the Hotel is located, then
in such event said date shall be extended to the next day which is not a
Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday.

        Section 11.23. Preparation of Agreement. This Agreement shall not be
construed more strongly against either party regardless of who is responsible
for its preparation.

        Section 11.24. Exhibits. All exhibits attached hereto are incorporated
herein by reference and made a part hereof as if fully rewritten or reproduced
herein.

        Section 11.25. Attorneys' Fees and Other Costs. The parties to this
Agreement shall bear their own attorneys' fees in relation to negotiating and
drafting this Agreement. Should Owner or Manager engage in litigation to enforce
their respective rights pursuant to this Agreement, the prevailing party shall
have the right to indemnity by the non-prevailing party for an amount equal to
the prevailing party's reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs and expenses
arising therefrom.

        Section 11.26. Agreement Not an Interest in Real Property. This
Agreement is not, and shall not be deemed at any time to be or to create, an
interest in real estate or a lien or other encumbrance of any kind whatsoever
against the Hotel or the land on which it is erected.

        Section 11.27. Intentionally Omitted.

        Section 11.28. Permitted Mortgages. Owner shall not grant any mortgage,
deed of trust or trust deed, pledge or encumbrance of or other security interest
in the Hotel or any part thereof or interest therein (a "Mortgage") unless it is
a Permitted Mortgage (as hereinafter defined). As used herein, the holders of,
or trustee under, any such Mortgage, and the holder of any indebtedness secured
thereby herein collectively referred to as the "Mortgagee". As used herein, a
"Permitted Mortgage" shall mean any Mortgage which (as such Mortgage is
amortized pursuant to its existing terms) or any future Mortgage which shall
hereafter be approved in

Page 28

<PAGE>

advance and in writing by Manager, such approval of Manager not to be
unreasonably withheld; provided, among other things, that the: (i) principal
amount of the indebtedness secured by such future Mortgage as it relates to the
Hotel when aggregated with all other remaining indebtedness secured by liens
against the Hotel is not in excess of the greater of (A) 75% of the then
appraised value of the Hotel as determined by Mortgagee in connection with its
underwriting of the loan secured by such future Mortgage, or (B) the principal
amount of the indebtedness secured by any current Mortgage; (ii) a copy of the
Mortgage and other loan documents shall be delivered to Manager upon execution
thereof; (iii) the related financing is obtained from an Institutional Lender
(as hereinafter defined) which is not an affiliate of Owner; and (iv) Mortgagee
enters into a Subordination, Attornment and Non-Disturbance Agreement with
Manager in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to Manager. The foregoing
shall be applicable both to original financing and to any refinancing, and,
except as may be provided in the Subordination, Attornment and Non-Disturbance
Agreement between the Manager and Mortgagee, this Agreement shall survive the
foreclosure of any such Mortgage, or the granting of a deed in lieu thereof, and
shall be binding upon the purchaser at any such foreclosure, or the grantee of a
deed in lieu thereof, and their respective successors and assigns, except any
such third-party purchaser at foreclosure or any third-party grantee of a deed
in lien which in either case is unaffiliated with such lender. The term
"Institutional Lender" shall mean a commercial bank, a trust company, a savings
bank, a savings and loan association, an insurance company, a college or
university, a pension fund of a corporation whose shares are listed on a
recognized national stock exchange, or a real estate investment trust whose
shares are listed on such an exchange, in each case having assets of no less
than $500,000,000.00 (which amount is based upon the purchasing power of the
United States dollar as of the Effective Date and shall be annually increased,
if necessary, on each anniversary of the Effective Date to reflect an amount
which shall have the equivalent purchasing power to said $500,000,000.00) and
which is regularly engaged in the business of making commercial loans.

        Section 11.29. Intellectual Property. Owner acknowledges that Manager or
one of its affiliates is or will become the owner or licensee of certain
intellectual property including its (i) software in use at one or more Other
Managed Hotels and all source and object code versions thereof and all related
documentation, flow charts, user manuals, listing, and service/operator manuals
and any enhancements, modifications or substitutions thereof ("Manager
Software"), and (ii) trade secrets, know-how and other proprietary information
relating to the operating methods, procedures and policies distinctive to Other
Managed Hotels (herein collectively called "Intellectual Property"). Manager
shall utilize the Intellectual Property in connection with the operation of the
Hotel to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of carrying out
its agreements and obligations hereunder, but such use shall be strictly on a
non-exclusive basis, and neither such use nor anything contained in this
Agreement shall confer any proprietary license or other rights in the
Intellectual Property upon Owner or any third parties, provided it is given
prompt notice, reasonable assistance and sole authority to defend or settle the
claim. Manager shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Owner and its
affiliates from and against any and all claims, costs, expenses, liabilities,
charges and fees directly incurred by Owner and its affiliates to the extent
arising from any copyright or patent infringement claim by any third party and
relating to the use by Manager of the Manager Software and Intellectual
Property.

        Section 11.30. Purchases from Manager and Manager's Affiliates.

        (i)     Group Discounts and Rebates. In purchasing goods, supplies,
                equipment and services for the Hotel, including, without
                limitation, Operating Supplies, Operating Equipment, insurance
                and long distance telephone services, Manager may utilize
                purchasing and procurement services of affiliates of Manager
                and/or other group buying techniques or purchasing programs
                involving Other Managed Hotels, as well as other hotels operated
                by Manager and its affiliates, provided that the cost thereof
                shall be competitive with that which would be charged by
                non-affiliated third party vendors in an arms-length
                transaction. For purposes of this section, purchasing or
                procurement services provided by any affiliate of Manager shall
                be considered provided by Manager. In providing such group
                purchasing or procurement services, Manager may mark up its
                costs or receive and retain a fee or other compensation from
                vendors and service providers for its services in making the
                benefit of volume purchases available to the Hotel or
                negotiating and implementing the arrangements with such vendors
                or providers, and Manager shall also be entitled and authorized
                to collect any rebates provided by vendors or service providers;
                provided, however, that (i) the total cost of the goods and
                services (including such mark-up, fee or other compensation
                charged or retained by Manager) so provided to the Hotel by
                Manager shall be competitive as aforesaid, and (ii) Manager
                shall, on a yearly basis, remit to Owner the proportionate share
                of the pre-tax profits earned by Manager through such mark-ups,
                fees, or other compensation, after deducting all operating
                expenses and capital costs attributable to providing such
                services. For purposes of calculating Owner's proportionate
                share of such pre-tax profits, Manager shall use the number of
                available rooms at the Hotel divided by the total number of
                available rooms in all hotels participating in such services, or
                any other manner that reasonably approximates the proportionate
                share of purchases made by the Hotel in relation to the total
                purchases made by all hotels participating in Manager's
                purchasing services.

        (ii)    Owner's Opt-Out Rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Owner
                shall not be obligated to purchase such volume or services items
                from the vendors or service providers recommended by Manager or
                its affiliates, provided that prior to purchasing from other
                sources, Owner shall submit to Manager such samples and/or other
                information with respect to the proposed purchases as shall be
                necessary to assure Manager that the quality of such items is at
                least equal to that available from the sources recommended by
                Manager and that such items are consistent with the policies and
                procedures established by Manager pursuant to this Agreement and
                the operation of the Hotel at a first-class standard comparable
                to the majority of the Other Managed Hotels.

        Section 11.31. Indemnification to Manager. Owner shall indemnify and
hold Manager harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims,
penalties, losses, damages and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees,
based upon or arising out of Manager's performance of its services hereunder, or
out of any occurrence or event happening in or about the Hotel or occurring in
connection with the operation thereof, or investigation relating to a

Page 30

<PAGE>

possible breach, of any Legal Requirement (collectively "Claims"), except to the
extent such Claims are based upon Manager's gross negligence, willful
misconduct, breach of contract or failure to act in good faith; provided,
however, that Owner shall not be required to indemnify Manager for any liability
arising under applicable environmental laws, to the extent arising from
Manager's negligence or failure to comply with such applicable environmental
laws.

        Section 11.32. Confidentiality. Owner and Manager agree that the matters
set forth in this Agreement are strictly confidential. Except as disclosure may
be required to obtain the advice of professionals or consultants, or financing
for the Hotel, or in furtherance of a permitted assignment of this Agreement, or
as may be required by law or by the order of any government, regulatory
authority, or tribunal or otherwise to comply with applicable legal requirements
(including reporting requirements applicable to public companies): (i) Owner and
Manager agree to keep strictly confidential all information of a proprietary or
confidential nature about or belonging to either party or to any affiliate of
either party to which the other party gains or has access by virtue of the
relationship between Owner and Manager; and (ii) Owner and Manager shall make
every effort to ensure that such information is not disclosed to the press or to
any other third person without the prior consent of the other party.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Owner and Manager acknowledge and agree that to
the extent that Owner or any of its affiliates, as a public company, determines
that it is required by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or other
applicable governmental agency to file a copy of this Agreement in connection
with its filings with such agency, such filing shall not be deemed a violation
of this provision. The obligations set forth in this Section 11.32 shall survive
any termination or expiration of this Agreement. Owner and Manager shall
cooperate with one another on all public statements, whether written or oral and
no matter how disseminated, regarding their contractual relationship as set
forth in this Agreement or the performance of their respective obligations under
this Agreement.

        Section 11.33. Hotel Reservations Honored. Upon termination of this
Agreement for any reason, Owner agrees that Hotel reservations made by Manager
in the ordinary course of business in accordance with this Agreement, for dates
not more than two (2) years after the date of termination and at rates
prevailing for such reservations at the time they were made, shall be honored
and remain in effect after the date of termination of this Agreement.

        Section 11.34. Prohibition on Casinos. No casino shall be operated at
the Hotel, or built and operated as a separate structure on the Hotel site,
without the consent of Owner and Manager, and in accordance with any applicable
legal requirements.

        Section 11.35. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two (2)
or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original.

RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL.

        If Owner shall have received a bona fide written offer to purchase or
lease the Hotel and Owner, pursuant to the terms of such offer, desires to sell
or lease the Hotel to any person, firm or corporation other than an affiliate of
Owner or Fee Owner (following which this Agreement shall continue unaltered),
Owner shall give written notice thereof to Manager, stating the name and full
identity of the prospective purchaser or tenant, as the case may be, including
(if known) the names and addresses of the owners of the capital stock,
partnership interests, or other proprietary interests of a privately-held
purchaser or tenant, the price or rental, and all terms and

                                       B-4

<PAGE>

conditions of such proposed sale or lease, together with all other information
with respect thereto which is reasonably requested by Manager and readily
available to Owner. Within thirty (30) days after the date of receipt by Manager
of such written notice from Owner (or if additional information is requested,
then ten (10) days after receipt by Manager of such information, if later),
Manager shall elect, by written notice to Owner, one of the following
alternatives:

                        (a) To purchase or lease the Hotel or to have its
        designee or designees (which, in Manager's sole discretion, may be any
        entity, including, but not limited to, an unrelated third party)
        purchase or lease the Hotel at the same price or rental and upon
        substantially the same terms and conditions as those set forth in the
        written notice from Owner to Manager; provided that Manager or its
        designee(s) may substitute cash for the fair market value of any
        non-cash compensation offered. In the event that Manager shall have
        elected to so purchase or lease or have its designee(s) so purchase or
        lease the Hotel in accordance with the provisions of the preceding
        sentence, Owner and Manager (or its designee(s) as the case may be)
        shall promptly thereafter enter into an agreement for sale or lease at
        the price or rental and on substantially the same terms aforesaid, and
        otherwise reasonably acceptable to Owner and such purchaser, and shall
        consummate such transaction subject to and in accordance with the terms
        and conditions thereof.

                        (b) To reasonably consent or withhold consent to such
        sale or lease and to the assignment of this Agreement to such purchaser
        or tenant if such sale or lease is in fact consummated; provided that
        Manager expressly reserves the right to disapprove such sale, lease or
        assignment, if (A) the proposed transferee, or any of its affiliates, is
        the owner of a trade name of a chain of hotels which competes with
        Manager's other owned or operated hotels, irrespective of the number of
        hotels comprising the competitive chain; (B) the proposed transferee or
        any of its affiliates is generally recognized in the community as being
        of ill repute or is in any other manner a person with whom a prudent
        business person would not wish to associate in a commercial venture or a
        person that, in Manager's reasonable determination, would be considered
        by regulators in the gaming industry in any jurisdiction where Manager
        or any of its affiliates holds a gaming license to be an unsuitable
        business associate of Manager and its affiliates; (C) the proposed
        transferee does not have the ability to fulfill Owner's financial
        obligations hereunder; or (D) the proposed transferee or any of its
        affiliates maintained a prior unsatisfactory business relationship with
        Manager, or any of its affiliates.

                        Manager may, at its sole option, subject its consent to
        satisfaction of certain conditions, including without limitation, the
        following: (i) the cure of any existing defaults or events which would
        become defaults with the giving of notice and passage of time, including
        without limitation, the payment in full at the closing of such sale or
        lease, and assignment (the "Closing"), of all unpaid obligations owed
        Manager and its affiliates by Owner; (ii) receipt of evidence from the
        purchaser or tenant that insurance coverage, as required by Exhibit D
        hereof, is in full force and effect on the Closing date; and (iii)
        payment of the amount of any estimated fees and charges which will
        accrue to Manager and its affiliates through the date of Closing, which
        amounts cannot be calculated in full prior to or at the Closing. To the
        fullest practical extent, Owner shall give to Manager sufficient written
        notice of the date on and place at which

                                       B-5

<PAGE>

        such sale or lease is to be consummated in order to give Manager an
        opportunity to prepare appropriate transfer documents and to be present
        at such time.

                        Manager agrees that, upon the terms and conditions set
        forth in this Section, it shall elect one of the alternatives set forth
        above. If Manager shall fail, neglect or refuse to so exercise any of
        said alternatives within said thirty (30) day period, the same shall be
        conclusively deemed to constitute an election and consent under
        Subsection (b), and the provisions thereof shall prevail as if Manager
        had in writing consented pursuant thereto.

                        (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of (b) above, the
        Hotel shall not be sold or leased unless (i) the purchaser or tenant, as
        the case may be, shall have first delivered to Manager an executed
        written instrument, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to
        Manager and its counsel, expressly assuming and agreeing to perform all
        of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, and (ii) such purchaser
        or tenant shall in all respects be acceptable to, and approved by,
        Manager, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Upon any
        such sale or lease of the Hotel in accordance with the provisions of
        this Section, all of the rights and obligations of Owner hereunder shall
        vest in the purchaser or tenant, as the case may be, and all such rights
        and obligations of the seller or lessor shall thereupon terminate (with
        the exception of any liabilities or obligations incurred prior to the
        date of such sale or lease, as to which the seller or lessor shall
        remain fully liable). In the event of any failure by Owner to satisfy
        any terms and conditions of this Section, consent to any sale, lease or
        transfer of the Hotel and/or assignment of this Agreement shall be
        deemed withheld by Manager and any such sale, lease, transfer and/or
        assignment shall be a default hereunder.

                                   EXHIBIT "C"

                                 MANAGEMENT FEES

A.      In consideration of Manager's services, Owner shall pay to Manager a
        management fee (the "Management Fee") equal to (i) (a) during the period
        from and after the Effective Date to and including the last day of the
        month in which the 2nd anniversary of the Effective Date occurs, two
        percent (2.0%) of the Gross Revenues (determined as hereinafter
        provided) from the operation of the Hotel with respect to each month (or
        a portion thereof) during such period and (b) during the period from and
        after the first day of the month immediately following the 2nd
        anniversary of the Effective Date to and including the last day of the
        month in which the 3rd anniversary of the Effective Date occurs, two and
        one-half percent (2.5%) of the Gross Revenues (determined as hereinafter
        provided) from the operation of the Hotel with respect to each month (or
        a portion thereof) during such period, and (ii) during the period from
        and after the first day of the month immediately following the 3rd
        anniversary of the Effective Date to and including end of the Term or
        Option Term, as applicable, three percent (3.0%) of the Gross Revenues
        (determined as hereinafter provided) from the operation of the Hotel
        with respect to each month (or a portion thereof) during such period
        (such fees being herein called the "Fixed Management Fee").

B.      For the purpose of determining the Fixed Management Fee, the term "Gross
        Revenues" shall mean Net Revenues of Total Operated Departments of the
        Hotel for each operating year, determined in accordance with the Uniform
        System of Accounts for the Lodging Industry (9th Revised Edition 1996),
        as published by the Hotel Association of New York City, Inc., on an
        accrual basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting
        principles consistently applied, excluding interest income. As used
        herein, the "Uniform System of Accounts" shall mean the Uniform System
        of Accounts for the Lodging Industry (9th Revised Edition 1996), as
        published by the Hotel Association of New York City, Inc.

C.      Intentionally Omitted.

D.      Proceeds from business interruption insurance, net of any and all
        expenses incurred in collecting such proceeds, shall be included both
        for the purpose of determining Gross Revenues and Operating Cash Flow.

E.      The Management Fee shall be payable in monthly installments concurrently
        with the delivery to Owner of the monthly report under Section 3.01(vi),
        and the installments of the Fixed Management Fee to be the percentages
        of Gross Revenues from the operation of the Hotel, as described in A
        above for the preceding month.

F.      If any annual report to be delivered by Manager to Owner under Section
        3.01(vi) shall show that the aggregate of the monthly installments of
        the Management Fee paid with respect to the preceding operating year
        shall exceed or be less than the Management Fee as shown in such annual
        report for such operating year, then Manager shall deposit into or
        withdraw from the Bank Accounts, the amount of such overpayment or
        underpayment, as the case may be.

waives, releases and discharges the other from all claims or demands which each

accordance with this Exhibit "D" shall contain a specific waiver of subrogation
reflecting the above with respect to insured claims.

        All policies of insurance provided for under this Exhibit "D" shall be
carried in the name of the Manager. Owner's interest and that of any other
applicable party will be included in the coverage by an additional insured
endorsement.

        All such policies of insurance shall be written on an "occurrence"
basis, where possible.

        Either Manager or Owner, by notice to the other, shall have the right to
require that the minimum amount of insurance to be maintained with respect to
the Hotel under this Exhibit "D" be increased to make such insurance comparable
with prudent industry standards and to reflect increases in liability exposures,
taking into account the size and location of the Hotel.

        Owner hereby authorizes Manager to utilize the services of and/or place
the insurance set forth in this Exhibit "D" with (i) any subsidiary or
affiliated company of Promus Hotels, Inc. in the insurance business as Manager
deems appropriate; or (ii) a third party insurance carrier meeting the
specifications set forth above.

             Personal Property in this Exhibit "E". This coverage shall
             specifically cover Manager's loss of Management Fees. The business

        Each policy of insurance maintained in accordance with this Exhibit "E,"
to the extent obtainable, shall specify that such policies shall not be
cancelled or materially changed without at least thirty (30) days' prior written
notice to Owner and Manager.

        Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Manager and Owner each
waives, releases and discharges the other from all claims or demands which each
may have or acquire against the other, or against each other's subsidiaries,
affiliates, directors, officers, agents, employees, independent contractors or
partners, with respect to any claims for any losses, damages, liabilities or
expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred or sustained by either of them on
account of injury to persons or damage to property or business arising out of
the ownership, management, operation and maintenance of the Hotel, regardless
whether any such claim or demand may arise because of the fault of negligence of
the other party or its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, employees, directors,
agents or independent contractors. Each policy of insurance maintained in
accordance with this Exhibit "E" shall contain a specific waiver of subrogation
reflecting the above with respect to insured claims.

        All policies of insurance provided for under this Exhibit "E" shall be
carried in the name of the Owner and Manager, and losses thereunder shall be
payable to the parties as their respective interests may appear. All liability
policies shall name the Owner and Manager, and in each case any of their
affiliated or subsidiary companies which they may specify, and their respective
directors, officers, agents, employees and partners as additional named
insureds.

        All such policies of insurance shall be written on an "occurrence"
basis.

        Either Manager or Owner, by notice to the other, shall have the right to
require the minimum amount of insurance to be maintained with respect to the
Hotel under this Exhibit "E" be increased to make such insurance comparable with
prudent industry standards and to reflect increases in liability exposures,
taking into account the size and location of the Hotel.

                           FRANCHISE LICENSE AGREEMENT

Dated as of the date set forth on the Rider attached hereto as Attachment B (the
"Rider") between the licensor entity set forth on the Rider ("we," "us," "our"
or "Licensor"), and the licensee entity ("you," "your" or "Licensee"), the name
and address of which is set forth on the Rider.

                                  INTRODUCTION

        We are a subsidiary of Hilton Hotels Corporation, a Delaware corporation
("HHC"). HHC and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, "Hilton") own,
lease, operate, manage and provide various services for a network of hotels,
inns, conference centers, time share properties and other operations (the
"Network"). HHC and Hilton Hospitality, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of HHC,
have authorized us to grant licenses to selected, first-class, independently
owned or leased hotel properties, to operate under the brand name set forth in
the Rider (the "Licensed Brand"). You have expressed an interest in operating
the property identified on the Rider under the Licensed Brand. You have
confirmed to us that you (i) independently investigated the risks of operating a
hotel under the Licensed Brand, including current and potential market
conditions, and competitive factors and risks, and have made an independent
evaluation of all such matters, and (ii) reviewed our uniform franchise offering
circular ("UFOC"). After doing so, you have expressed a desire to enter into a
Franchise License Agreement with us to obtain a license to use the Licensed
Brand in the operation of a hotel at the address set forth on the Rider.

        NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the undertakings
and commitments of each party to the other party as set forth in this agreement
(the "Agreement"), the parties agree as follows:

1.  DEFINITIONS

        The following capitalized terms will have the meanings set forth after
each term:

        a. The Hotel. The Hotel is the property you will operate under this
Agreement. The "Hotel" includes all structures, facilities, appurtenances,
furniture, fixtures, equipment, and entry, exit, parking and other areas located
on the site we have approved for your business, or located on any land we
approve in the future for additions, signs, parking or other facilities.

        b. The Marks. References to the "Marks" will include the Licensed Brand
service marks and all other service marks, copyrights, trademarks, logos,
insignia, emblems, symbols, designs, slogans, distinguishing characteristics,
trade names, domain names, and all other marks or characteristics associated or
used with or in connection with the System (as we define that term in
Subparagraph 1c.), and similar intellectual property rights, that we designate
from time to time to be used in the System.

        c. The System. The "System" is the elements we designate from time to
time to identify hotels operating under the Licensed Brand that provide to the
consuming public a similar, distinctive, high quality hotel service. "System
hotels" means hotels we license to operate under the System and to use the
Licensed Brand name. The System currently includes the Licensed Brand and the
Marks; access to a reservation service; advertising, publicity and other
marketing programs and materials; training programs and materials, standards,
specifications and policies for construction, furnishing, operation, appearance
and service of the Hotel, and other elements we refer to in this Agreement or in
the Manual (as defined in Subparagraph 1.d.) or in other communications to you,
and programs for our inspecting the Hotel and

                                        1

<PAGE>

consulting with you. We may add elements to the System or modify, alter or
delete elements of the System at our sole discretion.

        d. The Manual. References to the "Manual" will include all written
standards and requirements we adopt from time to time for constructing,
equipping, furnishing, supplying, operating, maintaining and marketing System
hotels, including the Hotel. Changes made in the Manual will apply to System
hotels as specified and may not apply to all System hotels. We may set forth
these standards and requirements in one or more documents or guides. All of
these items, as we modify them from time to time, will be considered the Manual.
We will change the Manual from time to time. We will notify you at least thirty
(30) days before any change becomes effective. You will be responsible for the
costs of complying with the Manual, including any changes.

        e. Including. The word "including," whenever used in this Agreement,
will mean "including, by way of example, but without limitation."

        f. License Term. References to the "License Term" will mean the period
from the date of this Agreement through the expiration of this Agreement.

2.  GRANT OF LICENSE

        We hereby grant to you and you hereby accept a non-exclusive license
(the "License") to use the System at, and in connection with the operation of,
the Hotel, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

        This Agreement does not limit our right, or the right of any of our
present or future owners, subsidiaries, and affiliated entities (the
"Entities"), to own, license or operate any other business of any nature ("Other
Businesses"), including a hotel, inn, conference center, time share property,
lodging facility or similar business, whether under the Licensed Brand, or as a
competitive brand, or otherwise. We reserve the right to engage in any Other
Businesses, even if they compete with the Hotel, the System, or the Licensed
Brand, whether we start those businesses, or purchase, merge with, acquire, be
acquired by, or affiliate with, such businesses. We may also: (a) use or license
to others all or part of the System; (b) use the facilities, programs, services
and/or personnel used in connection with the System in Other Businesses; and (c)
use the System, the Licensed Brand, and the Marks, in the Other Businesses. You
acknowledge and agree that you are not acquiring any rights other than the
non-exclusive right to use the System to operate the Hotel under the Licensed
Brand at the site licensed under this Agreement and in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement. You waive and release any claims, demands or damages arising
from or related to any of the foregoing activities, and you acknowledge and
agree that such activities will not give rise to any liability on our part,
including liability for claims for unfair competition, breach of contract,
breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, or divided
loyalty.

        The Hotel will be initially known by the trade name set forth in the
Rider (the "Trade Name"). We may change the Trade Name and/or the Licensed Brand
name and/or any of the Marks at any time at our sole discretion, but we will not
change the principal name identified in the Rider. You may not change the Trade
Name without our specific written consent. You acknowledge and agree that you
are not acquiring the right to use any service marks, copyrights, trademarks,
logos, designs, insignia, emblems, symbols, designs, slogans, distinguishing
characteristics, trade names, domain names or other marks or characteristics
owned by Hilton or the Entities that we do not specifically designate to be used
in the System.

3.  OUR RESPONSIBILITIES

        a. Training. We will specify required and optional training programs and
provide these programs at various locations. We may charge you for (i) required
training services and materials and (ii) optional training services and
materials we provide to you. You are also responsible for all travel, lodging
and other expenses you or your employees incur in attending these programs.

                                        2

<PAGE>

        b. Reservation Services. We will, directly or indirectly, furnish you
with the Reservation Service (as defined in Subparagraph 6a(15) below). This
service will be furnished to you on the same basis as is furnished to other
System hotels, subject to the provisions of Subparagraph 14a(3) below.

        c. Consultation. We may, from time to time at our sole discretion, make
available to you consultation and advice in areas such as operations,
facilities, and marketing. We have the right to establish fees in advance for
our consultation and advice on a project-by-project basis.

        d. Arrangements for Marketing, Etc. Periodically, we or one of the
Entities will publish and make available to the traveling public a directory of
System hotels, including the Hotel. Additionally, we will include the Hotel, or
cause the Hotel to be included in (i) national or regional group advertising of
System hotels, and (ii) international, national and regional market programs
offered by us or the Entities, subject to and in accordance with the general
practice for System hotels.

        We will use your Monthly Program Fee (as defined in Subparagraph 7a.
below) to pay for various programs to benefit the System, including (i)
advertising, promotion, publicity, public relations, market research, and other
marketing programs; (ii) developing and maintaining Licensed Brand directories
and Internet sites; (iii) developing and maintaining the Reservation Service
systems and support; and (iv) administrative costs and overhead related to the
administration or direction of these projects and programs. We will have the
sole right to determine how we spend these funds, including sole control over
the creative concepts, materials and media used in the programs, and the
placement and allocation of advertising. We may enter into arrangements for
development, marketing, operations, administrative, technical and support
functions, facilities, programs, services and/or personnel with any other
entity, including our affiliates. You acknowledge that Monthly Program Fees are
intended for the benefit of the System, and will not simply be used to promote
or benefit any one property or market. We will have no obligation in
administering any activities paid by the Monthly Program Fee to make
expenditures for you which are equivalent or proportionate to your payments, or
to ensure that the Hotel benefits directly or proportionately from such
expenditures. We may create any programs and allocate monies derived from
Monthly Program Fees to any regions or localities, as we consider appropriate in
our sole judgment. The aggregate of Monthly Program Fees paid to us by System
hotels does not constitute a trust or "advertising fund" and we are not a
fiduciary with respect to the Monthly Program Fees paid by you and other System
hotels. We are not obligated to expend funds in excess of the amounts received
from System hotels. If any interest is earned on unused Monthly Program Fees, we
will use the interest before using the principal. The Monthly Program Fee does
not cover your costs of participating in any optional marketing programs and
promotions offered by us or Hilton from time to time in which you voluntarily
choose to participate. These fees also do not cover the cost of operating the
Hotel in accordance with the standards in the Manual.

        e. Inspections/Compliance Assistance. We will administer a quality
assurance program for the System which may include conducting periodic
inspections of the Hotel and guest satisfaction surveys and audits to ensure
compliance with System standards. We have the right to inspect the Hotel and its
operations at any time, with or without prior notice to you, and to determine if
the Hotel is in compliance with the standards and rules of operation set forth
in this Agreement and in the Manual. If the Hotel fails to comply with such
standards and rules of operation, we may, at our option and at your cost,
require an action plan to correct the deficiencies. You must then take all steps
necessary to correct any deficiencies within the times we establish. Our
approval of an action plan does not waive any rights we may have under this
Agreement, nor does it relieve you of any obligations under this Agreement. We
will also have the right to place materials required for System and Hilton
purposes at the Hotel.

        f. Manual. We will issue the Manual to you, and any revisions and
updates we may make to the Manual.

        g. Equipment and Supplies. We will make available to you for use in the
Hotel various purchase, lease, or other arrangements with respect to exterior
signs, operating equipment, operating

                                        3

<PAGE>

supplies, and furnishings, which we or Hilton may have and which we make
available to other System hotels.

4.  PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

        You acknowledge, and will not contest, either directly or indirectly
during the License Term or after termination or expiration of this Agreement:
(i) our (and/or any Entities') ownership of, rights to and interest in the
System, Licensed Brand, Marks and any of their element(s) or component(s),
including present and future distinguishing characteristics; (ii) our sole right
to grant licenses to use all or any element(s) or component(s) of the System;
(iii) that we (and/or the Entities) are the owner of (or the licensee of, with
the right to sub-license) all right, title and interest in and to the Licensed
Brand and the Marks used in any form and in any design, alone or in any
combination, together with the goodwill they symbolize; and (iv) the validity or
ownership of the Marks. You acknowledge that these Marks have acquired a
secondary meaning which indicates that the Hotel, Licensed Brand and System is
operated by or with Hilton's approval. All improvements and additions to, or
associated with, the System, all Marks, and all goodwill arising from your use
of the System and the Marks, will inure to our benefit and become our property
(or the Entities), even if you develop them. At our request, you will promptly
assign to us any rights or registrations to the Marks that you may obtain. You
acknowledge that you are not entitled to receive any payment or other value from
us or any of the Entities for any goodwill associated with your use of the
System or the Marks, or any element(s) or component(s) of the System.

5.  PROPRIETARY MARKS

        a. Use of Trade Name. You will operate under, and prominently display,
the Marks in the Hotel. You will not adopt any other names in operating the
Hotel that we do not approve. You also will not use any of the Marks, or the
word "Hilton", or other Network trademarks, trade names or service marks, or any
similar word(s) or acronyms, in (i) your corporate, partnership, business or
trade name except as we provide in this Agreement or the Manual, or (ii) any
Internet-related name (including a domain name), except as we provide in this
Agreement or in the Manual, or (iii) any business operated separate from the
Hotel, including the name or identity of developments adjacent to or associated
with the Hotel. You agree that any unauthorized use of the Marks will be an
infringement of our rights and a material breach of this Agreement.

        b. Trademark Disputes. We and you each agree that the protection of the
Marks and their distinguishing characteristics as standing for the System is
important to all of us. Accordingly, you will immediately notify us of any
infringement or dilution of or challenge to your use of any of the Marks and
will not, absent a court order or our prior written consent, communicate with
any other person regarding any such infringement, dilution, challenge or claim.
We will take the action we deem appropriate with respect to such challenges and
claims and have the sole right to handle disputes concerning use of all or any
part of the Marks or the System. You will extend your full cooperation to us at
your expense in these matters. You appoint us as your exclusive
attorney-in-fact, to prosecute, defend and/or settle all disputes of this type
at our sole discretion. You will sign any documents we believe are necessary to
prosecute, defend or settle any dispute or obtain protection for the Marks and
the System and assign to us any claims you may have related to these matters.
Our decision as to the prosecution, defense and settlement of the dispute will
be final. All recoveries made as a result of disputes regarding use of all or
part of the System or the Marks will be for our account.

        c. Web Sites. You may not register, own, maintain or use any domain
names, World Wide Web or other electronic communications sites (collectively,
"Site(s)"), relating to the Network or the Hotel or that includes the Marks. The
only domain names, Sites, or Site contractors that you may use relating to the
Hotel or this Agreement are those assigned or otherwise approved in writing by
us. You also agree to obtain our prior written approval concerning any
third-party Site in which the Hotel will be listed, and any proposed links
between such Site and any other Site(s) ("Linked Sites") and any proposed
modifications to same. All Sites containing any of the Marks and any Linked
Sites must advertise, promote, and reflect on the Hotel and the System in a
first-class, dignified manner. You acknowledge and agree that our right to
approve all materials is necessitated by the fact that those materials will
include and be linked with our

                                        4

<PAGE>

Marks. Therefore, any use of the Marks on the World Wide Web, the Internet, or
any computer network/electronic distribution, must conform to our requirements,
including the identity and graphics standards for all System hotels. Given the
changing nature of this technology, we have the right to withhold our approval,
and to withdraw any prior approval, and to modify our requirements.

        You acknowledge that you may not, without a legal license or other legal
right, post on your Site(s) any material in which any third party has any direct
or indirect ownership interest (including video clips, photographs, sound bites,
copyrighted text, trademarks or service marks, or any other text or image in
which any third party may claim intellectual property ownership interests). You
also agree to incorporate on your Site(s) any other information we require in
the manner we deem necessary to protect our Marks.

        Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement, you agree to
irrevocably assign and transfer to us (or to our designee) all of your right,
title and interest in any domain name listings and registrations which contain
any reference to our Marks, System, Network or Licensed Brand, and will notify
the applicable domain name registrar(s) of the termination of your right to use
any domain name or Site(s) associated with the Marks or the Licensed Brand, and
will authorize and instruct the cancellation or transfer of the domain name to
us (or our designee), as directed by us. You will also delete all references to
our Marks, System, Network or Licensed Brand from any other Site(s) you own,
maintain or operate beyond the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

        d. Covenant. You agree, as a direct covenant with Hilton, that you will
comply with all of the provisions of this Agreement related to the manner, terms
and conditions of the use of the Marks, and the termination of any right on your
part to use any of the Marks. You agree that any non-compliance by you with this
covenant, the terms of this Agreement, or any unauthorized or improper use of
the System or the Marks will cause irreparable damage to us and/or to the
Entities. You therefore agree that if you engage in this non-compliance, or
unauthorized and/or improper use of the System or the Marks during or after the
License Term, Hilton, its successors and assigns, separately or along with us,
will be entitled to both temporary and permanent injunctive relief against you
from any court of competent jurisdiction, in addition to all other remedies that
Hilton or we may have at law. You consent to the entry of such temporary and
permanent injunctions. You will be responsible for payment of all costs and
expenses, including, reasonable attorneys' fees, which we and/or Hilton and/or
the Entities may incur in connection with your non-compliance with this
covenant.

only to, Licensed Brand, Network, Hilton International, and Conrad International
hotels (collectively, the "Affiliated Hotels") and (if and as we direct) any

Hotel") (except that this will not prohibit us from requiring you to participate
in programs designed to refer prospective customers to other hotels, whether in
the System or otherwise); display all material, including brochures and
promotional material we provide for Affiliated Hotels and Other Hotel Systems;
and allow advertising and promotion only of Affiliated Hotels and Other Hotel
Systems on the Hotel premises;

                (22) treat as confidential the Manual, and all other information
or materials concerning the methods, techniques, plans, specifications,
procedures, information, systems and knowledge of and experience in the

Information"). You acknowledge and agree that you: (i) do not acquire any
interest in Proprietary Information other than the right to utilize the same in
the development and operation of the Hotel under the terms of this Agreement,
(ii) will not use the Proprietary Information in any business or for any purpose
other than in the development and operation of the Hotel under the System, (iii)
will maintain the absolute confidentiality of the Proprietary Information during
and after the License Term, (iv) will not make unauthorized copies of any
portion of the Proprietary Information, and (v) will adopt and implement all
reasonable procedures we may periodically establish to prevent unauthorized use
or disclosure of the Proprietary Information, including restrictions on
disclosure to employees and the use of non-disclosure and non-competition
clauses in agreements with employees, agents and independent contractors who
have access to the Proprietary Information. These restrictions will not apply to
any information that does not relate or refer in any way or part to the System,
Manual, Licensed Brand and/or Marks and that you can demonstrate came lawfully
to your attention before our disclosure or which, at the time of or after our
disclosure, becomes a part of the public domain through lawful publication or
communication by others;

                (23) not own, at any time during the term of this Agreement, in
whole or in part, or be the licensor of, a hotel brand, or trade name, either
directly or through an Affiliate as defined in Subparagraph 11.b.(2)(a)(i)of
this Agreement, without our prior written consent. Any entity that, directly or
through an Affiliate, owns in whole or in part, or is the licensor or other
owner of a hotel brand or trade

                                        7

<PAGE>

name (whether or not licensed) that, in our judgment, competes with the System,
irrespective of the number of hotels comprising the competitive hotel brand or
trade name will be referred to as a "Competitor". These restrictions do not
restrict you or your Affiliate from (i) owning a minority interest in a
Competitor if you or your Affiliate do not provide services to the Competitor
(including as a consultant or employee), do not have any officer, director, or
similar position with the Competitor, and have no control or influence in the
business decisions of the Competitor, (ii) being a licensee of a Competitor; or
(iii) managing a property for a Competitor;

                (24) own fee simple title (or long-term ground leasehold
interest, provided that such interest has been granted to you by an unrelated
third party ground lessor in an arms length transaction for a term equal to, or
longer than, the License Term) to the real property and improvements of the
Hotel, or, at our request, cause the fee simple owner or other third party
acceptable to us, to provide its guarantee covering all of your obligations
under this Agreement in form and substance acceptable to us;

                (25) maintain possession and control of the Hotel and Hotel
site, and promptly deliver to us a copy of any notice of default you receive
from any mortgagee, trustee under any deed of trust, or ground lessor for the
Hotel, and upon our request, provide any additional information we may request
related to any alleged default or any subsequent action or proceeding in
connection with any alleged default;

                (26) refrain from directly or indirectly conducting, or
permitting by lease, concession arrangement or otherwise, gaming or casino
operations in the Hotel or on its premises without our express written
permission, which we may withhold at our sole discretion, and then only to the
extent and subject to the terms set forth in such permission;

                (27) obtain and maintain in full force and effect from and after
the confirmed Opening Date of the Hotel as set forth in Attachment A
(conditional or otherwise) all licenses required for the sale of alcoholic
beverages at the Hotel (unless no alcoholic beverages are offered at or from the
premises of the Hotel);

                (28) promptly provide to us or Hilton all information we
reasonably request with respect to you and your affiliates, including your
respective officers, directors, shareholders, partners or members, and/or the
Hotel, title to the property on which the Hotel is constructed and any other
property used by the Hotel. The information requested may include, but not
necessarily be limited to, financial condition, personal and family background,
litigation, indictments, criminal proceedings and the like in which any of the
aforementioned may have been involved;

                (29) participate in, and pay, all charges related to (i) our and
Hilton's marketing programs (in addition to programs covered by Monthly Program
Fees), and (ii) all guest frequency programs we or Hilton require. You also
agree to honor the terms of any discount or promotional programs (including any
frequent guest program) that we or Hilton offer to the public on your behalf,
any room rate quoted to any guest at the time the guest makes an advance
reservation, and any award guest certificates issued to Hotel guests
participating in these programs;

                (30) operate the Hotel so as to maximize Gross Rooms Revenue (as
defined in Subparagraph 7.b.) consistent with sound marketing and industry
practice and not engage in any conduct that is likely to reduce Gross Rooms
Revenue in order to further other business activities; and

                (31) maintain, at your expense, insurance, of the types, and in
the minimum amounts, we specify in the Manual. All such insurance must (i) be
with insurers having minimum ratings we specify, (ii) name as additional
insureds the parties we specify in the Manual, and (iii) carry the endorsements
and notice requirements we specify in the Manual. If you fail or neglect to
obtain or maintain the insurance or policy limits required by this Agreement, we
have the option, but not the obligation to obtain and maintain such insurance
without notice for you, and you, will immediately upon our demand, pay us the
premiums and cost we incur in obtaining this insurance.

                                        8

<PAGE>

        b. Hotel Quality Assurance. We may from time to time require you to
modernize, rehabilitate and/or upgrade the Hotel's fixtures, equipment,
furnishings, furniture, signs, computer hardware and software and related
equipment, supplies and other items to meet the then current standards and
specifications specified in the Manual. These standards will benefit the System
as a whole and you will make all these changes at your sole cost and expense.
Nothing in this paragraph will relieve you from the obligation to maintain
acceptable product quality ratings at the Hotel and maintain the Hotel in
accordance with the Manual at all times during the Agreement. We may make
limited exceptions to some of those standards based on local conditions or
special circumstances but we are not required to do so. You may not make any
change in the number of approved guest rooms (the "Guest Rooms") set forth in
the Rider or any other significant change (including major changes in structure,
design or decor) in the Hotel without our prior written approval. Minor
redecoration and minor structural changes that comply with our standards and
specifications will not be considered significant.

        c. Staff and Management. You are at all times responsible for the
management of the Hotel's business. You may fulfill this responsibility only by
providing (i) qualified and experienced management, which may be a third party
management company, and (ii) a general manager, (the "Management"), each
approved by us in writing. However, you represent and agree that you have not,
and will not, enter into any lease, management agreement or other similar
arrangement for the operation of the Hotel or any part of the Hotel with any
person or entity without our prior written consent. To be approved by us as the
operator of the Hotel, you or any proposed Management must be qualified to
manage the Hotel. We may refuse to approve you or any proposed Management which,
in our reasonable business judgment is inexperienced or unqualified in
managerial skills or operating capacity or capability, or is unable to adhere
fully to the obligations and requirements of this Agreement. You understand that
we reserve the right to not approve a Competitor, or any entity that (through
itself or an affiliate) is the exclusive manager for a Competitor, to manage the
Hotel. If the Management becomes a Competitor or otherwise becomes unsuitable in
our sole discretion to manage the Hotel at any time during the License Term, you
will have ninety (90) days to retain qualified substitute Management acceptable
to us. Any Management must have the authority to perform all of your obligations
under this Agreement, including all indemnity and insurance obligations. In the
case of any conflict between this Agreement and any agreement with Management,
this Agreement prevails.

7.  FEES

        a. Monthly Fees. Beginning on the Opening Date, you will pay to us for
each month (or part of a month, including the final month you operate under this
Agreement) the Monthly Royalty Fees as set forth and defined in the Rider and a
Monthly Program Fee in the amount of four percent (4%) of the Hotel's Gross
Rooms Revenue (as the term is defined more specifically in Subparagraph 7.b.
below) for the preceding calendar month. The amount of this Monthly Program Fee
is subject to change by us from time to time, provided that any change will be
established in the Manual. However, increase in the Monthly Program Fee, if any,
will not exceed one percent (1%) of the Hotel's Gross Rooms Revenue in any
calendar year, and the cumulative increases in the Monthly Program Fee, during
the Term of this Agreement, will not exceed five percent (5%) of Gross Rooms
Revenue.

        b. Determination and Payment of Fees. The monthly fees (described in
Subparagraph 7.a.) will be determined in accordance with the accounting methods
of then current Uniform System of Accounts for Lodging Industry (currently, the
Ninth Revised Edition, 1996), or such other accounting methods as may otherwise
be specified by Licensor from time to time in the Manual. "Gross Rooms Revenue,"
as used in the calculation of the Monthly Royalty Fee and the Monthly Program
Fee under the Agreement, means all revenues derived from the sale or rental of
Guest Rooms (both transient and permanent) of the Hotel, including guaranteed
no-show revenue and credit transactions, whether or not collected, at the actual
rates charged, less allowances for any Guest Room rebates and overcharges, and
will not include federal, state and local taxes collected directly from patrons
or guests. Gross Rooms Revenue will also include the proceeds from any business
interruption insurance applicable to loss of revenues due to the
non-availability of Guest Rooms. The Monthly Royalty Fee and the Monthly Program
Fee will be paid to us at the place we designate on or before the fifteenth
(15th) day of each month and will be accompanied by our standard schedule
setting forth in reasonable detail the computation of the

                                        9

<PAGE>

Monthly Royalty Fee and Monthly Program Fee for such month. There will be an
annual adjustment within ninety (90) days after the end of each operating year
so that the total Monthly Royalty Fees and Monthly Program Fees paid annually
will be the same as the amounts determined by audit. We reserve the right to
require you to transmit the Monthly Royalty Fee and the Monthly Program Fee and
all other payments required under this Agreement by wire transfer or other form
of electronic funds transfer. You agree to bear all costs of wire transfer or
other form of electronic funds transfer.

        c. Room Addition Fee. If you add or construct additional Guest Rooms at
the Hotel at any time after you sign this Agreement, you will pay us a
nonrefundable fee equal to the prevailing per Guest Room initial fee charged to
System hotels multiplied by the number of additional Guest Rooms ("Room Addition
Fee"). You must pay the Room Addition Fee to us when you submit an application
to add any Guest Rooms to the Hotel, and you must submit that application to us
before you enter into any agreement to add any Guest Rooms to the Hotel. As a
condition to our granting approval of such application, we may require you to
modernize, rehabilitate or upgrade the Hotel, subject to Subparagraph 6.b. of
this Agreement.

        d. Other Fees. You will timely pay all amounts due any of the Entities
for any invoices or for goods or services purchased by or provided to you or
paid by any of the Entities on your behalf, including pre-opening sales and
operations training.

        e. Taxes. If any gross receipts, sales, use, excise or any similar tax
that is based upon gross income or revenues is imposed upon us for the receipt
of any payments you are required to make to us under this Paragraph 7 (including
the fees set forth in the Rider), then you must also pay us an amount equal to
such tax. If any gross receipts, sales, use, excise or any similar tax that is
based upon gross income or revenues is imposed upon the payment made pursuant to
this Subparagraph 7.e., the amount due under this Subparagraph 7.e. will be an
amount such that the net amount retained by us, after payment of such tax,
equals the tax imposed on all payments made under Paragraph 7 other than
Subparagraph 7.e.

        This Subparagraph 7.e., does not apply to federal or state income taxes
payable by Licensor or Hilton as a result of its net income relating to any fees
collected under this Agreement.

        f. Application of Fees. We may apply any amounts received under this
Paragraph 7 to any amounts due under this Agreement. If any amounts are not paid
when due, such non-payment will constitute a material breach of this Agreement
and, in addition, such unpaid amounts will accrue a service charge beginning on
the first day of the month following the due date of one and one-half percent (1
1/2%) per month or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, whichever is
less. Should we hire counsel to collect any amounts due under this Agreement,
and/or any late charges, you will pay our reasonable attorneys' fees.

8.  RECORDS AND AUDITS

        a. Reports. At our request, you will prepare and deliver to us daily,
monthly, quarterly and annual operating statements, profit and loss statements,
balance sheets, and other reports (the "Reports") we require, prepared in the
form, and by the methods and within the time frames, we require in the Manual.
The reports will contain all information we require, including daily rate and
room occupancy, and will be certified as accurate in the manner we require. You
will also provide us any additional related information and Reports we may
periodically request and permit us to inspect your books and records at all
reasonable times. At least monthly, you will prepare a statement that will
include all information concerning Gross Rooms Revenue, other revenues generated
at the Hotel, room occupancy rates, reservation data and other information we
require (the "Data"). By the fifteenth (15th) day of each month, you will submit
to us a statement setting forth the Data for the previous month and reflecting
the computation of the amounts then due under Paragraph 7, in the form and
detail we reasonably request.

                                       10

<PAGE>

        b. Maintenance of Records. You will, in a manner and form satisfactory
to us and using accounting and reporting standards we reasonably require,
prepare on a current basis (and preserve for no less than the greater of four
(4) years or our record retention requirements), complete and accurate records
concerning Gross Rooms Revenue and all financial, operating, marketing and other
aspects of the Hotel, and maintain an accounting system that fully and
accurately reflects all financial aspects of the Hotel and its business. These
records will include books of account, tax returns, governmental reports,
register tapes, daily reports, and complete quarterly and annual financial
statements (including profit and loss statements, balance sheets and cash flow
statements).

        c. Audit. We may require you to have the Gross Rooms Revenue or other
monies due to us computed and certified as accurate by a certified public
accountant. During the License Term and for two (2) years thereafter, we and our
authorized agents will have the right to verify information required under this
Agreement by requesting, receiving, inspecting and auditing, at all reasonable
times, any and all records referred to above wherever they may be located (or
elsewhere if requested by us). If any inspection or audit reveals that you
understated or underpaid any payment due to us that is not fully offset by
overpayments, you will promptly pay to us the deficiency plus interest from the
date each payment was due until paid at a rate of one and one-half percent (1
1/2%) per month or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, whichever is
less. If the audit or inspection reveals that the underpayment is either
willful, or is for five percent (5%) or more of the total amount owed for the
period being inspected, you will also reimburse us for all inspection and audit
costs (including reasonable travel, lodging, meals, salaries and other expenses
of the inspecting or auditing personnel). Our acceptance of your payment of any
deficiency will not condone your breach of this Agreement, or waive that breach,
or any rights we may have for your breach, including our right to terminate this
Agreement as provided in Paragraph 14. If the audit discloses an overpayment, we
will credit this overpayment against your future payments under this Agreement,
without interest.

        d. Ownership of Information. All of the information we obtain from you
or about the Hotel or its guests under this Agreement, or under any agreement
ancillary to this Agreement (including agreements relating to the computerized
reservation, revenue management, property management, and other system(s) we
provide or require), or otherwise related to the Hotel (the "Information"), and
all revenues we derive from such information will be our property. However, you
may at any time during or after the License Term use to the extent lawful and at
your sole risk and responsibility any information that you acquire from third
parties in operating the Hotel, such as customer data. The Information (except
for Information you provide to us or Hilton with respect to you and your
affiliates, including your respective officers, directors, shareholders,
partners or members) will become our Proprietary Information which we may use
for any reason as we deem necessary or appropriate, in our discretion, including
making an earnings claim in our UFOC.

9.  INDEMNITY

        You agree, during and after the License Term, to indemnify us and the
Entities, and our successors and assigns, and the members, officers, directors,
employees, agents, predecessors, successors and assigns of each such entity (the
"Indemnified Parties") against, and hold them harmless from, all losses, costs,
liabilities, damages, claims, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys'
fees, arising out of or resulting from (i) any claimed occurrence at the Hotel
or arising from, as a result of, or in connection with the development,
construction or operation of the Hotel (including the design, construction,
financing, furnishing, equipment, acquisition of Supplies or operation of the
Hotel in any way); (ii) any bodily injury, personal injury, death or property
damage suffered by any guest, customer, visitor or employee of the Hotel; (iii)
your alleged or actual infringement or violation of any patent, mark or
copyright or other proprietary right owned or controlled by third parties; (iv)
your alleged or actual violation or breach of any contract, federal, state or
local law, regulation, ruling, standard or directive applicable to the Hotel, or
of any industry standard; (v) any other business conducted by you or a third
party in, on or about the Hotel or its grounds; or (vi) any other of your acts,
omissions or obligations or those of anyone associated or affiliated with you or
the Hotel or in any way arising out of or related to this Agreement. However,
you do not have to indemnify us to the extent damages otherwise covered under
this Paragraph 9 are adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been
the result of the gross

                                       11

<PAGE>

negligence or willful misconduct of any of the Indemnified Parties so long as
the claims are not asserted on the basis of (i) theories of vicarious liability,
including agency, apparent agency or employment or (ii) our failure to compel
you to comply with the provisions of this Agreement. You will give us written
notice of any action, suit, proceeding, claim, demand, inquiry or investigation
involving an Indemnified Party within five (5) days of your actual or
constructive knowledge of it. At our election, you will defend us and/or the
Indemnified Parties against the same, or we may elect to assume (but under no
circumstance will we be obligated to undertake) the defense and/or settlement of
the action, suit, proceeding, claim, demand, inquiry or investigation at your
expense and risk. We may obtain separate counsel of our choice if we believe
your and our interests may conflict. Our undertaking of defense and/or
settlement will in no way diminish your obligation to indemnify the Indemnified
Parties and to hold them harmless. In either case, you will also reimburse the
Indemnified Parties upon demand for all expenses, including reasonable
attorneys' fees and court costs the Indemnified Parties incur to protect
themselves, or to remedy your defaults. Under no circumstances will the
Indemnified Parties be required to seek recovery from third parties or otherwise
mitigate their losses to maintain a claim against you, and their failure to do
so will in no way reduce the amounts recoverable from you by the Indemnified
Parties. Further, you will indemnify the Indemnified Parties for any claim for
damages by reason of failure of any contractor, subcontractor, supplier or
vendor doing business with you relating to the Hotel to maintain adequate
insurance as required in the Manual.

        a. Our Transfer of this Agreement. We have the right to transfer or
assign this Agreement or any of our rights, obligations, or assets under this
Agreement to any person or legal entity so long as the transferee assumes all of
our obligations to you under this Agreement. You acknowledge and agree that this
Agreement is a license for the Licensed Brand only, and the programs that are
unique to the Licensed Brand. Therefore, if we transfer or assign this
Agreement, your right to use any programs, rights or services related to or
provided by the Entities or their designees, including the Reservation Service,
any guest frequency program not unique to the Licensed Brand, and any Marks, may
terminate.

        b. Your Transfer. We recognize that at some time, you or other persons
associated with you or the Hotel may want to sell or transfer all or part of an
interest in this Agreement, the Licensee or in the Hotel. At the same time, you
understand and acknowledge that the rights and duties set forth in this
Agreement are personal to you, and that we are entering into this Agreement in
reliance on your business skill, financial capacity, and personal character (if
you are an individual), and that of your officers, directors, partners, members,
stockholders or trustees (if you are a partnership, company, corporation, trust
or other legal entity). As a result, you agree that if you or other persons
associated with you or the Hotel desire to sell, transfer or lease an interest
in this Agreement, the Licensee or in the Hotel, or in any entity that has an
interest in this Agreement, the Licensee or the Hotel, you will abide by the
terms of this Subparagraph 11.b.

        For purposes of this Subparagraph 11.b., the term "control" in all its
forms, means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or
cause the direction of the management and policies of an entity, or of the power
to veto major policy decisions of an entity, whether through the ownership of
voting securities, by contract, or otherwise. References in this Agreement to
"Equity Interests" mean any direct or indirect beneficial interest in the
Licensee, the Equity Owners and/or the Hotel (an "indirect" interest is an
interest in an entity other than the Licensee that either itself, or through
others, has an interest in the Licensee). References in this Agreement to
"Equity Owners" mean the owners of a direct or indirect Equity Interest in the
Licensee the Agreement and/or in the Hotel. "Publicly Traded Equity Interest"
means any Equity Interest that is traded on any securities exchange or is quoted
in any publication or electronic reporting service maintained by the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., or any of its successors. In computing
changes of Equity Interests, limited partners will not be distinguished from
general partners except as provided below. General partners, managing members
and other controlling interests in Licensee will be considered Equity Owners for
purposes of this section, regardless whether they have any actual ownership
interest in the Licensee. Non-voting equity interests

                                       12

<PAGE>

may not qualify as an Equity Interest, at our discretion. Our judgment will be
final if there is any question as to the definition of Equity Interest or as to
the computation of relative Equity Interests. You represent that as of the date
of this Agreement the Equity Interests are directly and (if applicable)
indirectly owned as shown on the Rider.

            (1) Transfers That Do Not Require Our Consent or Notification.

                (a) Privately Held Equity Interests: Less than 25% Change/No
Change of Control. Equity Interests that are not publicly traded may be
transferred by you and the Equity Owners without notice to us and without our
consent, if after the transaction: (i) less than twenty-five percent (25%) of
all Equity Interests in Licensee will have changed hands since the date of this
Agreement, and (ii) there has not been a change of control of the Licensee, of
this Agreement or of the Hotel since the date of this Agreement.

                (b) Publicly Held Equity Interests. Publicly Traded Equity
Interests may be transferred without notice to us and without our consent if the
transfer does not effectuate a change of control of the Licensee, of this
Agreement or of the Hotel since the date of this Agreement.

                (c) Commercial Leases. You may lease or sublease commercial
space in the Hotel that is customarily subject to lease, or enter into
concession arrangements in the ordinary course of business at the Hotel, without
notice to us and without our consent.

            (2) Other Transfers. No other direct or indirect interest in the
Hotel or in this Agreement, and no direct or indirect Equity Interest in the
Licensee, may be sold, leased, assigned, or transferred in any way (individually
or collectively, a "Transfer"), except as specifically provided in this
Subparagraph 11.b.(2). If you or any Equity Owners want to transfer any Equity
Interest, other than in a transaction that meets the requirements of the
foregoing clause (1), you must first notify us and you must first obtain our
consent.

                (a) Permitted Transfers. Certain transfers are transfers we
describe as "Permitted Transfers." We will consent to a Permitted Transfer, so
long as you (i) give us sixty (60) days advance written notice of any proposed
Permitted Transfer (the "Permitted Transfer Consent Request"), and (ii) submit
to us a nonrefundable processing fee of Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars
($2,500) with the Permitted Transfer Consent Request to cover our costs to
review the Transfer (except that in the case of a Transfer of Equity Interests
which requires registration under any federal or state securities law, you must
pay us an additional processing fee of Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars
($2,500) as provided for in Subparagraph 11.b.(3) below), and meet the
requirements for the particular Permitted Transfer as described below.

                    (i)   Affiliate Transfer. You or any Equity Owners as of the
date of this Agreement may sell, lease, transfer or otherwise convey any Equity
Interest to an Affiliate (each an "Affiliate Transfer"); provided that such
event does not, in our opinion, result in a change in the ultimate controlling
Equity Owners of the Licensee, this Agreement or the Hotel and the following
conditions are met. "Affiliate" means, with respect to any entity, any natural
person or firm, corporation, partnership, association, trust or other entity
which, directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common
control with, you or any Equity Owners as of the date of this Agreement. A
natural person or entity which has an entity as an Affiliate will also be deemed
to be an Affiliate of that entity. We will not withhold our consent to an
Affiliate Transfer if (x) you are not then in material default under this
Agreement; (y) the Affiliate Transfer is not, directly or indirectly, to a
Competitor; and (z) you otherwise satisfy the conditions as set forth in
Subparagraphs 11.b.(2)(b)(i)-(vii), (ix) and (x) below.

                    (ii)  Family Transfers. If you or any Equity Owners as of
the date of this Agreement are a natural person, and desire to sell, lease,
transfer or otherwise convey any Equity Interest to:, (x) a member or member of
your or any such Equity Owner's immediate family i.e. spouse, children, parents,
siblings ("Family Members") or (y) a trust or trusts for the benefit of Equity
Owner or the Equity Owner's Family Member(s) (each, a "Family Transfer"), in
either case, without causing a

                                       13

<PAGE>

change in the ultimate controlling Equity Owners of the Licensee, this
Agreement, or the Hotel, we will not withhold our consent to a Family Transfer
if you otherwise satisfy the conditions set forth in Subparagraphs
11.b.(2)(b)(i)-(vii), (ix), and (x) below that we may require you to satisfy.

                    (iii) Transfer Upon Death. Upon the death of a Licensee or
Equity Owner, this Agreement or the Equity Interest (if applicable) may pass in
accordance with such person's will or, if such person dies intestate, in
accordance with laws of intestacy governing the distribution of such person's
estate, without our consent, provided that (x) the Transfer is to a Family
Member or to a legal entity formed by such Family Member(s), and (y) within one
(1) year after the death, such Family Member(s) or entity meets all our then
current requirements for an approved applicant.

                    (iv)  Brick and Mortar Transfers. You may sell, lease or
transfer the Hotel, the Hotel site, or any portion thereof if, in our reasonable
judgment, after the sale, you retain possession and control of the Hotel site
and the management control of the Hotel operations and continue to comply with
the requirements of Subparagraph 6.a.(24), provided you give us at least sixty
(60) days' prior notice of the proposed transfer, and any Transfer Information
(as defined below) that we request. If, in our reasonable judgment, the Transfer
will result in your loss of possession or control of the Hotel or Hotel site or
management of the Hotel, the sale will then be considered a change of ownership
and you must comply with the provisions of Subparagraph 11.b.(2)(b).

                    (v)   Privately Held Equity Interests: 25% or Greater
Change/No Change of Control. You or any Equity Owners as of the date of this
Agreement may sell, lease, transfer or otherwise convey Equity Interests if a
twenty-five percent (25%) or more cumulative change in Equity Interests in
Licensee will have changed hands since the date of this Agreement; provided that
such event does not, in our opinion, result in a change in the ultimate
controlling Equity Owner of the Licensee, this Agreement or the Hotel and the
following conditions are met: (x) you are not then in material default under
this Agreement; (y) the Transfer is not, directly or indirectly, to a
Competitor; and (z) you otherwise satisfy the conditions as set forth in
Subparagraphs 11.b.(2)(b)(i)-(vii), (ix) and (x) below.

                (b) Change of Ownership. Any proposed Transfer that does not
otherwise qualify as a Permitted Transfer as defined in Subparagraph 11.b.(2)(a)
above will be considered a change of ownership ("Change of Ownership"). If there
is a proposed Change of Ownership and the proposed owner desires to continue to
operate the Hotel as a System hotel, the proposed owner must submit to us a
complete application for a new franchise license agreement (the "Change of
Ownership Application") accompanied by payment of our then prevailing
application fee. If we do not approve the Change of Ownership Application, we
will refund the application fee, less Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500)
for processing costs. The proposed owner may also be required to pay the then
prevailing property improvement plan ("PIP") fee for us to determine the
renovation requirements for the Hotel. If we approve the Change of Ownership
Application, the new owner will then be required to pay any other applicable
fees and charges we then impose for new Licensed Brand franchise licenses.

We will process the Change of Ownership Application in accordance with our then
current procedures, including review of criteria and requirements regarding
upgrading of the Hotel, credit, background investigation, operations abilities
and capabilities, prior business dealings, market feasibility, guarantees, and
other factors we consider relevant. We will have sixty (60) days from our
receipt of the completed and signed application to consent or withhold our
consent to the proposed owner as Licensee.

We may, at our option, make our consent subject to satisfaction of certain
conditions, including:

                   (i)    The cure of any existing defaults or events that would
become defaults with the giving of notice and passage of time, including, the
payment in full at the closing of the Transfer (the "Closing") of all unpaid
obligations owed to us and any Entities by you, and/or the renovation by you or
the proposed owner of all or part of the Hotel;

                   (ii)   Receipt of evidence from the transferee that insurance
coverage, as required by this Agreement, is in full force and effect on the date
of Closing;

                                       14

<PAGE>

                   (iii)  Payment of the amount of any fees and charges we
estimate will accrue to us or any of the Entities through the date of Closing;

                   (iv)   That you at all times remain in compliance with the
terms of this Agreement pending the Closing;

                   (v)    Your signing of a voluntary termination agreement, and
an estoppel and a general release in a form satisfactory to us, of any and all
claims, demands and causes of action that you and your partners, proprietors,
directors, officers, shareholders, members, successors and assigns (as the case
may be) may or might have against us or any of the Entities, and their
respective officers, directors, shareholders, agents, attorneys, contractors and
employees in their corporate and individual capacities including claims arising
under federal, state and local laws, rules and ordinances;

                   (vi)   That you submit to us all information related to the
Transfer that we may reasonably require, including copies of any proposed
agreement(s), the proposed ownership structure of the proposed transferee if
ownership of this Agreement or of the Hotel is being transferred and/or all
entities involved, the names and addresses of the proposed owners of the Equity
Interests and of the site at which the Hotel is operated, and financial
statements and business information for all participants in the proposed sale or
lease (collectively, the "Transfer Information");

                   (vii)  Evidence of adequate assurances (as determined by us
in our sole discretion) of the proposed owner's assumption of and ability to
perform all, or its pro rata share, of your or any Equity Owners' obligations
under this Agreement;

                   (viii) Execution by the new owner of a new franchise license
agreement ("New License") with us for the then unexpired term of this Agreement
(or for such other term as we may approve in our sole discretion). The New
License will (i) be on our then current form for the grant of new franchise
licenses, (ii) contain our then current license terms (except for duration), and
(iii) contain upgrading and other requirements, if any, that we impose.

                   (ix)   Execution of the form of guarantee we proscribe by the
same guarantors, if any, of this Agreement or substitute guarantors we approve;
and

                   (x)    Successful completion by the proposed owner and its
management team of any training and orientation programs we require.

        We have the right to withhold our consent to any proposed Transfer if
any of these conditions are not met to our satisfaction, or if the proposed
owner is a Competitor. If we approve the Change of Ownership Application, we
will not assess you any liquidated damages for early termination of this
Agreement as long as the New License is signed by the new owner no later than
the Closing of the Change of Ownership transaction. If we do not approve the
Change of Ownership Application, or if you or the new owner do not comply with
all these conditions and the Transfer still occurs, then you will be in material
default of this Agreement and we will be entitled to all of our remedies,
including the right to terminate this Agreement, and the right to payment of all
amounts set forth in Subparagraph 14.c.

            (3) Public Offering. If you "offer to sell" or "sell" any
"securities" in the Licensee or in the Hotel, you shall do so in accordance
with the terms and conditions set forth in this Subparagraph 11.b.(3). All
materials required by federal, state or other applicable law for the offer or
sale of those securities must be submitted to us for review at least twenty (20)
days before the date you distribute those materials, or file them with any
governmental agency, including any materials to be used in any offering exempt
from registration under federal or state securities laws. You must submit a
non-refundable Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollar ($2,500) processing fee to us
with the offering documents, and agree to pay any additional costs we may incur
in reviewing your documents, including reasonable attorneys' fees. You also may
not use any of the Marks or otherwise imply Hilton's or our participation or
endorsement of any securities offering. We will have the right to approve any
description

                                       15

<PAGE>

of this Agreement or of your relationship with us, or any use of the Marks,
contained in any "prospectus" or other communications or materials you use in
the sale or offer of any "securities." You may not imply Hilton's or our
participation in or endorsement of any such "securities." To the extent we give
you any comments to your documents, you must modify the documents to address
those comments, satisfactory to us, before filing or distributing the documents.
Our review of these documents will not in any way be considered our agreement
with any statements contained in those documents, including any projections, or
our acknowledgment or agreement that the documents comply with any applicable
laws.

        You may not sell any "securities" unless you do so in compliance with
all applicable federal and state securities laws, and unless you clearly
disclose to all purchasers and offerees that (i) neither we, nor any Entity, nor
any of our or their respective officers, directors, agents or employees, will in
any way be deemed an "issuer" or "underwriter" of said "securities," and that
(ii) we, the Entities, and our respective officers, directors, agents and
employees have not assumed and will not have any liability or responsibility for
any financial statements, prospectuses or other financial information contained
in any "prospectus" or similar written or oral communication. You agree to
indemnify, defend and hold the Indemnified Parties free and harmless of and from
any and all liabilities, costs, damages, claims or expenses arising out of or
related to the "sale" or "offer" of any of your "securities" to the same extent
as provided in Paragraph 9 of this Agreement. All terms used in this
Subparagraph 11.b.(3) will have the same meaning as in the Securities Act of
1933, as amended.

            (4) Transfers Not in Accordance With This Agreement. Any purported
Transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, not in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement, will be null and void and will constitute a
material breach of this Agreement, which will allow us to terminate this
Agreement without giving you any opportunity to cure. In addition, any purported
transfer of this Agreement, not in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement, shall be deemed null and void. Further, we will have all other rights
and remedies, including the right to specific performance or mandatory or
prohibitory injunctive relief, to redress any attempt on your part to transfer
this Agreement other than in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

            (5) Pledge to Lending Institution. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, you do not need to notify us to obtain our approval
if you want to pledge or mortgage the assets of the Hotel or any Equity Interest
to a third-party bank or other commercial lending institution that is not a
Competitor. However, you do need to notify us and obtain our consent if you want
to pledge or mortgage your interest in this Agreement. As a condition to our
giving our consent to a pledge or mortgage of this Agreement we will require the
lender to sign a lender comfort letter that describes our requirements on
foreclosure. If it desires to continue to operate the Hotel as a System hotel,
the lender will be required to conform to the lender comfort letter signed with
us or, if no lender comfort letter was signed, then it must meet the terms and
conditions of this Agreement for a Transfer involving a Change of Ownership.

12. CONDEMNATION AND CASUALTY

        a. Condemnation. You will, at the earliest possible time, give us notice
of any proposed taking of any portion of the Hotel by eminent domain. If we
agree that the Hotel or a substantial part of the Hotel is to be taken, we may,
in our sole discretion and within a reasonable time of the taking (within four
months) transfer this Agreement to a nearby location you select. If we approve a
new location, and if within one (1) year of the closing of the Hotel you open a
new hotel (or are diligently proceeding toward opening a new hotel and
ultimately do so) at the new location in accordance with our specifications and
in accordance with our timing requirements, then the new hotel will be deemed to
be the Hotel licensed under this Agreement. If a condemnation takes place and a
new hotel does not, for whatever reason, become the Hotel under this Agreement
in strict accordance with this Paragraph 12 (or if it is reasonably evident to
us that this will be the case), then we may terminate this Agreement immediately
upon notice to you, and we will not require you to pay a Termination Fee under
Subparagraph 14.c.

        b. Casualty. If the Hotel is damaged by fire or other casualty, you will
immediately notify us. If the damage or repair requires closing the Hotel, you
may choose to repair or rebuild the Hotel according

                                       16

<PAGE>

to our standards, provided you (i) immediately notify us (ii) begin
reconstruction within four (4) months after closing, and (iii) reopen the Hotel
for continuous business operations as soon as practicable (but in any event
within one (1) year after the closing of the Hotel), giving us ample advance
notice of the date of reopening. Until we determine that the Hotel can be
re-opened as a System hotel, the Hotel will not promote itself as a System
hotel, or otherwise identify itself with any of the Marks without our prior
written consent. You and we each have the right to terminate this Agreement if
you elect not to repair or rebuild the Hotel as set forth above in this
Paragraph 12, provided the terminating party gives the other party sixty (60)
days written notice, in which case we will not require you to pay a Termination
Fee under Subparagraph 14.c; provided however, if subsequent to such termination
notice and prior to the natural expiration of the License Term, you, or any of
your Affiliates, have a controlling interest in and/or operate a hotel at this
Hotel site and such hotel is not operated under a license or franchise from one
of the Entities, then you must pay us the Termination Fee.

        c. No Extensions of Term. Nothing in this Paragraph 12 will extend the
License Term.

13. TERM OF LICENSE.

        a. Unless terminated earlier, this Agreement will expire without notice
on the date set forth on the Rider. You acknowledge and agree that this
Agreement is non-renewable and that this Agreement confers upon you absolutely
no rights of license renewal whatsoever following the expiration of the License
Term.

        b. Renewal Period. Notwithstanding the terms set forth in Paragraph
13.a., Licensee shall have the option to enter into a new license agreement for
the Hotel for each of the two (2) successive periods of five (5) years each
(collectively, the "Option Periods", individually, the "Option Period") beyond
the terms set forth on the Rider, upon the then current franchise agreement form
in use by Licensor, including without limitation all terms, conditions, fees and
charges then commonly imposed by Licensor, which may include an updated Product
Improvement Plan for the Hotel, provided that you strictly comply with each of
the following conditions: (i) Licensee shall exercise its right of renewal by
written notice to Licensor, with respect to the first renewal term, given not
later than six (6) months less ten (10) days prior to expiration of the initial
term, and with respect to the second renewal term, given not later than six (6)
months less ten (10) days prior to expiration of the first renewal term (the
"Renewal Notice"); (ii) at the time such notice is given, the Hotel meets the
then current physical requirements deemed necessary by Licensor to maintain the
Hotel as a System hotel; (iii) Licensee shall complete a Product Improvement
Plan, if Licensor deems necessary, to bring the Hotel in compliance with item
(ii) above; and (iv) Licensee shall not be in default under the Agreement at any
time from the time the Renewal Notice is provided to Licensor through the
commencement of the Option Periods. Should Licensee be in default during the
aforementioned period, the Renewal Notice shall be deemed cancelled, Licensee's
right of renewal under this provision shall thereupon become void and the
Agreement shall terminate at the end of the then current term.

14. TERMINATION

        a. Termination or Suspension by Us on Advance Notice. Except in the case
of an immediate termination as provided in Subparagraph 14.b below, we have the
right to terminate this Agreement if you fail to cure an Event of Default (as
defined in Subparagraph 14.a.(1)) within thirty (30) days after we furnish
notice of default to you based on the Event of Default, or, if there is a
non-monetary Event of Default that is incapable of cure within thirty (30) days,
if you fail to diligently pursue cure of such default and fail to cure the
default within the additional time periods we set forth in the notice of
default.

            (1) An "Event of Default" will occur if you fail to satisfy or
comply with any of the obligations, requirements, conditions, or terms set forth
in (i) this Agreement, the Manual (including the standards in the Manual and
minimum performance scores required by the Manual), or any attachment to this
Agreement; or (ii) any other agreement you have with us, or any of the Entities,
relating to the Hotel, including, any computer system agreement, or any
agreement to manage the Hotel. An "Event of

                                       17

<PAGE>

Default" will also occur if you make any misrepresentations to us, whether in
entering into this Agreement, or in the performance of your obligations to us.

            (2) Our notice of termination will not relieve you of your
obligations under this Agreement or any of its attachments.

            (3) Upon written notice of a monetary Event of Default, we may also
at any time, in our sole discretion, suspend our obligations under this
Agreement (including reservation services as more fully described below). If at
any time a monetary Event of Default occurs, we will also have the right, in our
sole discretion, upon notice to you of an Event of Default, to remove the
listing of the Hotel from any directories we publish, and from any advertising
we publish, and/or to remove or suspend you from the Reservation System
immediately upon notice to you. We will have the right to divert reservations
previously made for the Hotel to other System hotels after giving you notice of
a monetary Event of Default, and suspend you from the Reservation System. If you
fully cure the monetary default within the time provided in our notice, we will
restore you to the Reservation System, and add you to all future directories we
publish and to all advertising we subsequently disseminate (except advertising
that was ordered before your reinstatement), but we will not be required to
redirect to you any reservations previously made for the Hotel and diverted to
other System hotels during the period of suspension or removal, and you will be
entitled to no compensation in connection with our election to suspend or remove
the Hotel from our directories, advertising or the Reservation System. You agree
that our exercise of these rights will not result in actual or constructive
termination of this Agreement, and that the rights granted to us in this clause
(3) are in addition to, and apart from, any other rights we may have in this
Agreement, including our right to terminate this Agreement. If we exercise any
of these rights, the exercise will not be a waiver of any breach by you of any
term, covenant or condition of this Agreement.

        b. Immediate Termination by Us. We have the right to terminate this
Agreement immediately upon notice to you (or terminate it at the earliest time
permitted by applicable law) if one or more of the following breaches to this
Agreement or any of its attachments occur:

            (1) After curing any material violation of this Agreement or the
Manual, you engage in the same noncompliance within any consecutive twenty four
(24) month period, whether or not the noncompliance is corrected after notice;
or after we have notified you of your noncompliance with any of the requirements
imposed by this Agreement or the Manual, regardless of materiality, you engage
in a pattern of noncompliance with any of those requirements, whether or not the
noncompliance is corrected after notice, which pattern of non-compliance in and
of itself will be deemed material;

            (2) You or any guarantor of your obligations under this Agreement:

                (a) Generally fails to pay its debts as they become due or
admits in writing its inability to pay its debts, or makes a general assignment
for the benefit of its creditors;

                (b) Commences any case, proceeding or other action seeking
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, liquidation, dissolution or composition
of it or its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking appointment of a receiver,
trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for all or any
substantial part of its property;

                (c) Takes any corporate or other action to authorize any of the
actions set forth above in clauses (a) or (b);

                (d) Suffers initiation of any case, proceeding or other action
against it seeking to have an order for relief entered against it as debtor, or
seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, liquidation, dissolution or
composition of it or its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking appointment of a receiver,
trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for all or any
substantial part of its property, and such case, proceeding or other action

                                       18

<PAGE>

(i) results in the entry of an order for relief against it which is not fully
stayed within seven (7) business days after the entry of the order or (ii)
remains undismissed for forty-five (45) days;

                (e) Allows an attachment to remain on all or a substantial part
of the Hotel or of its assets for thirty (30) days;

                (f) Fails within sixty (60) days of the entry of a final
judgment against it in any amount exceeding One Hundred Thousand Dollars
($100,000) to discharge, vacate or reverse the judgment, or to stay execution of
it, or if appealed, to discharge the judgment within thirty (30) days after a
final adverse decision in the appeal;

                (g) Loses possession or the right to possession of all or a
significant part of the Hotel or Hotel site, whether through foreclosure,
including, but not limited to, foreclosure of any lien, trust deed, or mortgage,
loss of lease, or for other reasons apart from those described in Paragraph 12;

                (h) Fails to continue to identify the Hotel to the public as a
System hotel, or abandons the operation of the Hotel by failing to operate the
Hotel for five (5) consecutive days, or any shorter period after which it is not
unreasonable under the facts and circumstances for us to conclude that you do
not intend to continue to operate the Hotel, unless the failure to operate is
due to fire, flood, earthquake or similar causes beyond your control, provided
that you have taken reasonable steps to minimize the impact of such events;

                (i) Contests in any court or proceeding our ownership of the
System or any part of the System, or the validity of any of the Marks;

                (j) Takes any action toward dissolving or liquidating itself, if
it is a corporation, limited liability company or partnership, except for death
of a partner;

                (k) Any of the owners of a controlling Equity Interest is
discovered to have been convicted of a felony (or any other offense or conduct
if we reasonably determine it is likely to adversely reflect upon or affect the
Hotel, the System, us and/or any Entity);

                (l) Conceals revenues, maintains false books and records of
accounts, submits false reports or information to us or otherwise attempts to
defraud us;

                (m) Becomes a Competitor (as defined in Subparagraph 6.a.(23));

                (n) Transfers any interest in this Agreement or in the Hotel
other than in the transaction that we have approved (unless the transfer is of a
type described in Paragraph 11 where our approval is not required); or

                (o) Does not purchase or maintain insurance required by this
Agreement, or does not reimburse us for our purchase of insurance on its behalf;

            (3) Information involving you or your affiliates, whether provided
by you under Subparagraph 6.a.(28) or obtained through Hilton's or our own
investigation, discloses facts concerning you or your affiliates, including your
respective officers, directors, shareholders, partners or members, and/or the
Hotel, or title to the property over which the Hotel is constructed or any other
property used by the Hotel, which, in the reasonable opinion of Hilton is likely
to adversely reflect upon or affect in any manner, any gaming licenses or
permits held by the Entities or the then current stature of any of the Entities
with any gaming commission, board, or similar governmental or regulatory agency,
or the reputation or business of any of the Entities;

            (4) We make a reasonable determination that continued operation of
the Hotel by you will result in an imminent danger to public health or safety;
or

                                       19

<PAGE>

            (5) Any guarantor of your obligations under this Agreement breaches
its guarantee, if any, or any guarantee fails to be a continuing obligation
fully enforceable against the person(s) signing the guarantee, or if there is
any inadequacy of the guarantee or guarantor, and the guarantor fails to provide
adequate assurances to us as we may reasonably request.

        c. Liquidated Damages upon Termination by Us. If we terminate the
Agreement under Subparagraphs 14.a. or 14.b. above, you acknowledge that your
default will cause substantial damage to us, the actual amount of which will be
difficult to determine. Therefore, you agree that if we terminate this Agreement
under Subparagraphs 14.a. or 14.b. as a result of your default or breach of this
Agreement, or if you unilaterally terminate this Agreement without cause, which
is not authorized and which would be a material breach of this Agreement, then
upon termination you must pay us a lump-sum payment equal to the sum of the
following: (i) all amounts owed to us for periods prior to the date of
termination, plus (ii) as liquidated damages for the future Monthly Royalty Fees
and Monthly Program Fees we will lose, a "Termination Fee" determined by
multiplying the average of the Monthly Royalty Fees and Monthly Program Fees
(collectively, the "Average Monthly Fees") with respect to the Hotel for the
twenty-four (24) month period immediately preceding the month of termination, by
thirty-six (36), or by such lesser multiple as would represent the remaining
full or partial months between the date of termination and the expiration of the
License Term. If the Hotel has been open for less than twenty-four (24) months,
then in calculating the Termination Fee we will multiply thirty-six (36) by the
greater of a) the Average Monthly Fees you owed us from the Opening Date through
the month immediately preceding the month of termination, and b) the average
Monthly Royalty Fees and Monthly Program Fees per Guest Room owed to us by all
System hotels in operation throughout the same twenty-four (24) month period,
multiplied by the number of Guest Rooms in the Hotel. The Termination Fee is
intended to compensate us only for the value lost in Monthly Royalty Fees and
Monthly Program Fees as a result of the early termination of the Agreement, and
you agree that you remain liable for all other obligations and claims under the
Agreement, including obligations following termination under Subparagraphs 5.c.,
5.d., 8.c., 14.d. and Paragraph 9 and liabilities arising out of your breach or
default.

        d. De-identification of Hotel Upon Termination. Upon expiration or
termination of this Agreement for any reason, you will immediately stop holding
yourself out to the public as a System hotel, and will take whatever action is
necessary to assure that no use is made of any part of the System (including the
Marks, all forms of advertising and other indicia of operation as a System
hotel), and discontinue use of all distinguishing indicia of System and HHC
hotels, including such indicia on exterior and interior signs, stationery,
operating equipment and supplies, Internet sites, brochures and other
promotional material at or in connection with the Hotel or otherwise. You will
return to us the Manual and all other proprietary materials, remove all
distinctive System features of the Hotel, including the primary freestanding
sign down to the structural steel, and take all other actions
("De-identification Actions") required to preclude any possibility of confusion
on the part of the public that the Hotel is still using all or any part of the
System or is otherwise holding itself out to the public as a System hotel. If
within thirty (30) days after the termination or expiration of this Agreement,
you fail to comply with this paragraph, we and our agents, at your expense, may
enter the premises of the Hotel to perform the De-identification Actions without
being deemed guilty of or liable for trespass or any other tort, and make or
cause to be made such changes at your expense. You will pay all such expenses
that we incur upon demand. If you fail to take all De-identification Actions, we
and Hilton will be entitled to recover all losses, costs, expenses and damages
caused by that failure. We and Hilton will also be entitled to relief by
injunction, and any other right or remedy at law or in equity to enforce our
rights under this Agreement.

        e. Special Termination. You recognize the additional harm by way of
confusion for national accounts, greater difficulty in re-entering the market,
and damage to goodwill of the Marks that we will suffer if (i) you cause two (2)
or more franchise license agreements between yourself (or any of your
Affiliates) and us to be terminated prior to the expiration date within twelve
(12) months of each other (and if we terminate those agreements following your
breach or default, you (or your Affiliate) will be deemed to have caused the
termination) or (ii) this Agreement terminates or is terminated by us following
an unapproved Transfer to a Competitor (each of these will be referred to as a
"Special Termination"). In the case of a Special Termination, the amount due to
us upon termination will be an amount equal to the

                                       20

<PAGE>

amount set forth in clause (i) of Subparagraph 14.c., plus an additional amount
equal to two (2) times the Termination Fee payable under clause (ii) of
Subparagraph 14.c.

15. RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES

        a. No Agency Relationship. You are an independent contractor. Neither of
us is the legal representative or agent of the other, or has the power to
obligate (or has the right to direct or supervise the daily affairs of) the
other for any purpose. You expressly acknowledge that we have a business
relationship based entirely on, and defined by, the express provisions of this
Agreement and that no partnership, joint venture, agency, fiduciary or
employment relationship is intended or created by reason of this Agreement.
Neither we nor any of the Entities will have any responsibility to any person
for any debts, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses related to the
establishment, construction or operation of the Hotel or arising out of or
related to your policies, procedures, practices or alleged practices in the
operation of the Hotel or any other business conducted at the Hotel.

        b. Notices to Public Concerning Your Independent Status. You will take
all steps reasonably necessary to minimize the chance of a claim being made
against us for anything that occurs at the Hotel, or for the acts or omissions
of you or anyone associated or affiliated with you or the Hotel, including steps
mandated by us in the Manual or otherwise. You will not incur any obligation or
indebtedness on our behalf. All contracts for the Hotel's operations and
services at the Hotel will be in your name or in the name of your management
company. You will not enter into or sign any contracts in our name or using the
name of the Licensed Brand or the Marks or any acronyms or variations on same.
You will disclose in all dealings with suppliers and third parties that you are
an independent entity and that we have no liability for your debts.

16. MISCELLANEOUS

        a. Severability and Interpretation. The remedies provided in this
Agreement are cumulative. These remedies are not exclusive of any other remedies
to which you or we may be entitled in case of any breach or threatened breach of
the terms and provisions hereof. If any provision of this Agreement is held to
be unenforceable, void or voidable, that provision will be ineffective to the
extent of the prohibition without in any way invalidating or affecting the
remaining provisions of this Agreement, and all remaining provisions will
continue in effect. If any provision of this Agreement is held unenforceable due
to its scope, but may be made enforceable by limiting its scope, the provision
will be considered amended to the minimum extent necessary to make it
enforceable. This Agreement will be interpreted without interpreting any
provision in favor of or against either of us by reason of the drafting of the
provision, or either of our positions relative to the other. Any covenant, term
or provision of this Agreement that provides for continuing obligations after
the expiration or termination of this Agreement will survive any expiration or
termination. To the extent that the provisions of this Agreement provide for
periods of notice less than those required by applicable law, or provide for
termination, cancellation, non-renewal or the like other than in accordance with
applicable law, those provisions will, to the extent they are not in accordance
with applicable law, be superseded by said law, and we will comply with
applicable law in connection with each of these matters.

        b. Controlling Law. This Agreement will become valid when signed by both
of us. We each agree that the State of New York has a deep and well developed
history of business decisional law. For this reason, we each agree that except
to the extent governed by the United States Trademark Act of 1946 (Lanham Act;
15 U.S.C. Para 1050 et seq.), as amended, this Agreement, all relations between
us, and any and all disputes between us, whether sounding in contract, tort, or
otherwise, are to be exclusively construed in accordance with and/or governed by
(as applicable) the laws of the State of New York without recourse to New York
(or any other) choice of law or conflicts of law principles. If, however, any
provision of this Agreement would not be enforceable under the laws of New York,
and if the Hotel is located outside of New York and the provision would be
enforceable under the laws of the state in which the Hotel is located, then the
provision in question (and only that provision) will be interpreted and
construed under the laws of that state. Nothing in this section is intended to
invoke the application of any franchise, business opportunity, antitrust,
"implied covenant," unfair competition, fiduciary or any other

                                       21

<PAGE>

doctrine of law of the State of New York or any other state which would not
otherwise apply absent this Paragraph 16b.

        Because, as stated above, the State of New York has a well developed
history of business decisional law and because the courts of the State of New
York are best suited to interpret and apply that law, we each agree that any
litigation arising out of or related to this Agreement, any breach of this
Agreement, the relationship between us, and, any and all disputes between us,
whether sounding in contract, tort, or otherwise, will be submitted to and
resolved exclusively by a court of competent jurisdiction located in the City
and State of New York. You waive, and agree never to assert, move or otherwise
claim that this venue is for any reason improper, inconvenient, prejudicial or
otherwise inappropriate (including, any claim under the judicial doctrine of
forum non conveniens).

        If our mutual choice of venue in the City and State of New York is not
honored by the subject court(s), then we each agree that any litigation arising
out of or related to this Agreement; any breach of this Agreement; the
relationship between us; and, any and all disputes between us, whether sounding
in contract, tort, or otherwise, will instead be submitted to and resolved
exclusively by a court of competent jurisdiction located in the City and County
of Los Angeles, California. You waive, and agree never to assert, move or
otherwise claim that this substitute venue is for any reason improper,
inconvenient, prejudicial or otherwise inappropriate (including, any claim under
the judicial doctrine of forum non conveniens).

        c. Exclusive Benefit. This Agreement is exclusively for our and your
benefit, and none of the obligations of either of us in this Agreement will run
to, or be enforceable by, any other party (except for covenants in favor of the
Entities, which covenants will run to and be enforceable by the Entities or
their successors and assigns), or give rise to liability to a third party,
except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement.

        d. Entire Agreement. You and we acknowledge that we want all terms of
this business relationship defined in this written Agreement, and that neither
of us wants to enter into a business relationship with the other in which any
terms or obligations are subject to any oral statements or in which oral
statements serve as the basis for creating rights or obligations different than
or supplementary to the rights and obligations set forth in this Agreement.
Therefore, you and we agree that this Agreement and its attachments will be
construed together and will supersede and cancel any prior and/or
contemporaneous discussions or writings (whether described as representations,
inducements, promises, agreements or by any other term) between us. We each
agree that we placed, and will place, no reliance on any such discussions or
writings. You agree that no claims, representations or warranties of earnings,
sales, profits, success or failure of the Hotel have been made to you. This
Agreement and its attachments is the entire agreement between us and contains
all of the terms, conditions, rights and obligations between us with respect to
the Hotel and any other aspect of the relationship between us. No change,
modification, amendment or waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement
will be effective and binding upon us unless it is in writing, specifically
identified as an amendment to this Agreement and signed by one of our officers.
If any provision of this Agreement is inconsistent with the Manual, the
provisions of this Agreement will prevail. No failure by us or by any of the
Entities to exercise any power given us under this Agreement or to insist on
strict compliance by you with any of your obligations, and no custom or practice
at variance with the terms of this Agreement, will be considered a waiver of our
or any Entity's right to demand exact compliance with the terms of this
Agreement.

        e. Consent; Business Judgment. Wherever our consent or approval is
required in this Agreement, unless the provision specifically indicates
otherwise, we have the right to withhold our approval in our discretion taking
into consideration our assessment of the long-term interests of the System
overall. You and we recognize, and any arbitrator or judge is affirmatively
advised that if those decisions are supported by our business judgment, neither
an arbitrator nor a judge nor any other person reviewing those decisions will
substitute his, her or its judgment for our judgment. When the terms of this
Agreement specifically require that we not unreasonably withhold our approval or
consent, if you are in default or breach under this Agreement, any withholding
of our approval or consent will be considered reasonable. Our approvals and
consents will not be effective unless given in writing. In no event may

                                       22

<PAGE>

you make any claim for money damages based on any claim that we have
unreasonably withheld or delayed any consent or approval to a proposed act by
you under the terms of this Agreement. You also may not claim damages by way of
set-off, counterclaim or defense for our withholding of consent. Your sole
remedy for the claim will be an action or proceeding to enforce the provisions
of this Agreement by specific performance or by declaratory judgment.

        f. Notices. All notices must be in writing and will be effective on the
earlier of (i) the day it is sent via facsimile with a confirmation of receipt;
or (ii) the day it is delivered by express delivery service; or (iii) the third
business day after it is sent by first-class or certified mail to the
appropriate party at the following single address, or such other single address
as may be designated by the party to be notified (which, in no event, is a P.O.
Box). If to us, the notice should be sent to our principal executive offices,
addressed to "General Counsel." The current address of our principal executive
offices is as follows: 9336 Civic Center Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210. If to
you, then to the address set forth for you in the Rider. Notice to you is deemed
given if 1) delivered in writing via one of the delivery methods set forth above
and 2) addressed to the Principal Correspondent at the address you designate in
the Rider. Any change to your address or Principal Correspondent for notice must
be delivered to us in writing in accordance with the delivery procedure set
forth in this Subparagraph 16.f.

        g. General Release. You and your heirs, administrators, executors,
agents and representatives and their respective successors and assigns release,
remise, acquit and forever discharge us and the Entities and their officers,
directors, employees, agents, representatives and their respective successors
and assigns from any and all actions, claims, causes of action, suits, rights,
debts, liabilities, accounts, agreements, covenants, contracts, promises,
warranties, judgments, executions, demands, damages, costs and expenses, whether
known or unknown at this time, of any kind or nature, absolute or contingent, at
law or in equity, on account of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever that has
happened, developed or occurred before you sign and deliver this Agreement to
us. This release will survive the termination of this Agreement.

        h. Estoppel Certificate. Whenever we reasonably request it, you will
deliver to us an estoppel certificate in the form we require as to the matters
described in this Agreement.

        i. Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings in this Agreement are
for convenience only and will not control or affect the meaning or construction
of any provision in this Agreement.

        j. Representations and Warranties. You warrant, represent and agree that
all statements made by you in the Application you submitted to us in
anticipation of this Agreement and all other documents and information you
submitted to us are true, correct and complete as of the date of this Agreement
and that you will continue to update them so that they are always true, correct
and complete. You further represent and warrant to us that you have the full
legal power and authority to enter into this Agreement and that by entering into
this Agreement you will not be breaching any agreement to which you are a party.
You hereby indemnify and hold us harmless from any breach of these
representations and warranties. These warranties and representations will
survive the termination of this Agreement.

        k. Time. Time is of the essence in this Agreement.

        l. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each of
which will be considered an original.

        m. Performance Requirements/Responsibilities. Attachment A, setting
forth certain of your performance conditions and requirements, is incorporated
by reference and made a part of this Agreement.

        n. Informational Copies. You acknowledge that we may provide, but are
not required to provide, copies of any information we provide to you concerning
the Hotel (such as quality assurance reports and default notices) to the owner
and/or lessor of the Hotel.

17. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL

        TO THE EXTENT EITHER PARTY INITIATES LITIGATION INVOLVING THIS AGREEMENT
OR ANY ASPECT OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN US (EVEN IF OTHER PARTIES OR OTHER
CLAIMS ARE INCLUDED IN SUCH LITIGATION), ALL THE PARTIES WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A
TRIAL BY JURY. THIS WAIVER WILL APPLY TO ALL CAUSES OF ACTION THAT ARE OR MIGHT
BE INCLUDED IN SUCH ACTION, INCLUDING CLAIMS RELATED TO THE ENFORCEMENT OR
INTERPRETATION OF THIS AGREEMENT, ALLEGATIONS OF STATE OR FEDERAL STATUTORY
VIOLATIONS, FRAUD, MISREPRESENTATION, OR SIMILAR CAUSES OF ACTION, AND IN
CONNECTION WITH ANY LEGAL ACTION INITIATED FOR THE RECOVERY OF DAMAGES BETWEEN
OR AMONG US OR BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY OF OUR OWNERS, AFFILIATES, OFFICERS,
EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS.

        [THIS AGREEMENT CONTINUES WITH AN ATTACHMENT A, ATTACHMENT B, AND
                ATTACHMENT C WHICH ARE A PART OF THIS AGREEMENT.]

                                       24

<PAGE>

                     ATTACHMENT A - PERFORMANCE CONDITIONS:
                               CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP

A.      Consultation. You or your representative(s) will meet with us to consult
        and coordinate with the project manager we assign to you. The meeting
        will take place within forty-five (45) days after we notify you of
        approval, and the meeting will be held at a location we select.

B.      Work and Purchase Requirement. If applicable, the Product Improvement
        Plan (the "PIP"), is attached to this Agreement as Attachment C, and
        incorporated herein by reference. You will perform the renovation and/or
        construction work and purchase the items described on the PIP (the
        "Renovation Work") on or before the completion date specified on the
        Rider. The Renovation Work will include your purchasing and/or leasing
        and installing all fixtures, equipment, furnishings, furniture, signs,
        computer terminals and related equipment, supplies and other items that
        would be required of a new System hotel under the Manual and any other
        equipment, furnishings and supplies as we may require for you to operate
        the Hotel. You will be responsible for obtaining all necessary licenses,
        permits and zoning variances required for the Hotel.

C.      Approval of Architect/Designer/Contractors. Before you submit Plans and
        Designs (as defined in Paragraph D) to us, you will furnish us with
        resumes and other information we request pertaining to the architect
        and/or interior designer you desire to retain to prepare your Plans and
        Designs. The Plans and Designs will not be approved until we have
        approved the architect and designer who are to prepare the Plans and
        Designs. Before Renovation Work, you will also submit to us resumes and
        other information we request pertaining to the general contractor and/or
        any major subcontractors for the Renovation Work. Renovation Work will
        not begin until we have approved the contractors, which approval may be
        conditioned on bonding of the contractors.

D.      Approval of Plans and Designs. On or before the date specified on the
        Rider for submission of the Plans, you must submit to us your plans,
        layouts, specifications, drawings and designs for the Renovation Work,
        including any proposed changes to the Hotel's furnishings, fixtures,
        equipment, signs, decor, and physical appearance (collectively, the
        "Plans and Designs"). We may supply you with representative prototype
        Guest Room and public area plans and schematic building plans as a guide
        for preparation of the Plans and Designs. Renovation Work will not begin
        unless and until we have approved the Plans and Designs. Before we
        approve the Plans and Designs, we may require you to submit to us the
        existing plans, equipment, layouts, specifications, drawings and designs
        for the Hotel. Once we approve the Plans and Designs, no change may be
        made to the Plans and Designs without our advance consent. In approving
        the Plans and Designs, we do not warrant the depth of our analysis or
        assume any responsibility for the efficacy of the Plans and Designs or
        the resulting Renovation Work. You will cause the Hotel renovation
        and/or construction to be in accordance with this Agreement, the
        approved Plans and Designs, the Manual and the PIP. You will be solely
        responsible for obtaining all necessary licenses, permits and zoning
        variances that may be required for the Renovation Work. You should not
        rely upon our approval for any purpose whatsoever except compliance with
        our then prevailing standards, and requirements of the Manual.

        You are responsible for making certain that the Hotel and the Renovation
        Work complies in all respects with all Legal Requirements. For purposes
        of this Agreement, "Legal Requirements" means all public laws, statutes,
        ordinances, orders, rules, regulations, permits, licenses,
        authorizations, directions and requirements of all governments and
        governmental authorities, which, now or hereafter, may apply to the
        construction, completion, equipping and Opening of the Hotel and the
        operation of the Hotel, including environmental, zoning, building, and
        life safety. We and Hilton will have the right to, and you will arrange
        for us and Hilton to, participate in all progress meetings during the
        development and construction of the Hotel, to have access to all
        contract and construction documents relating to the Hotel, and to have
        access to the Hotel during

                                Attachment A - 1

<PAGE>

        reasonable business hours to inspect the Hotel and the Renovation Work.
        However, neither we nor Hilton are obligated to participate in progress
        meetings, or inspect the Hotel and the Renovation Work, and our and
        Hilton's participation and inspection are not to be considered as a
        representation of the adequacy of the construction, the structural
        integrity, or the sufficiency of mechanical and electrical systems for
        the Hotel. Before we approve your Plans, your architect or other
        certified professional must certify to us that the Plans either comply
        with, or do not require compliance with, the Americans with Disabilities
        Act and its architectural guidelines as well as all applicable state and
        local codes for accessible facilities. Within ten (10) days after
        completion of the Renovation Work, your architect, general contractor or
        other certified professional must provide us with a certificate stating
        that the as-built premises either comply with, or are not required to
        comply with, the Americans with Disabilities Act and its architectural
        guidelines and all applicable state and local codes for accessible
        facilities.

E.      Commencement; Completion. You will begin the Renovation Work on or
        before the date specified on the Rider and will continue the Renovation
        Work uninterrupted (except to the extent continuation is prevented by
        events beyond Licensee's control, such as acts of God, third party
        strikes, acts of terrorism, war, or general governmental restrictions
        ("Force Majeure")) until it is completed. For purposes of this Paragraph
        E, Force Majeure does not include your own financial inability,
        inability to obtain financing, inability to obtain permits or any other
        events unique to you or the Hotel. Notwithstanding any Force Majeure, or
        any other matter, the Renovation Work must be completed and the Hotel
        must be furnished, equipped, and comply with this Agreement no later
        than the date specified in the Rider (the "Renovation Work Completion
        Date"). We will have the sole right to determine whether the Renovation
        Work has been completed in accordance with this Agreement, the approved
        Plans and Designs, the Manual and the PIP.

F.      Inspection. During the course of Renovation Work, you and your
        architect, designer, contractors, and subcontractors will cooperate
        fully with us for the purpose of permitting us to inspect the Hotel and
        the Renovation Work in order to determine whether Renovation Work is
        being done in accordance with this Agreement, the approved Plans and
        Designs, the Manual, and the PIP. In addition, you and your contractors,
        architect and designer will supply us with samples of construction
        materials, supplies, equipment, materials and reports as we may request
        and give our representatives access to the Hotel site and Renovation
        Work in order to permit us to carry out our inspections.
