         B. Manager is an independent contractor engaged in the management of
hotels throughout the United States, and Manager is experienced in the various
phases of hotel operations.

         C. Lessee is desirous of utilizing the services and experience of
Manager in connection with the operation of the hotel, and Manager desires to
render such services, all upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

1. APPOINTMENT AND TERM.

at 12:01 A.M. on the date identified on Schedule I (the "Commencement Date") and
terminate at 11:59 on the expiration date identified on Schedule I (the
"Expiration Date"). Thereafter, the Term of this Agreement shall continue on a
month-to-month basis, and Lessee shall have the right to terminate this
Agreement upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Manager, and Manager
shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon sixty (60) days written
notice to Lessee. The Initial Term, as extended pursuant to the preceding
sentence, shall be referred to herein as the "Term." In no event shall the Term
of this Agreement exceed the term of the License Agreement.

1.03     Management Authority.

Manager shall have the sole and exclusive right and obligation to manage and

During the Term and any renewal thereof, Manager agrees that:

(A) Manager shall not permit wagering activities to be conducted at or in
connection with the Hotel;

(B) Manager shall not own, directly or indirectly (within the meaning of Section
856(d)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code")), more
than 35% of the shares of Equity Inns, Inc.;

(C) No more than 35% of the total combined voting power of Manager's outstanding
stock (or 35% of the total share of all classes of its outstanding stock) shall
be owned, directly or indirectly, by one or more persons owning 35% or more of
the outstanding stock of Equity Inns, Inc.; and

(D) Manager (or a person who is a "related person" within the meaning of Section
856(d)(9)(F) of the Code (a "Related Person") with respect to the Manager shall
be actively engaged in the trade or business of operating "qualified lodging
facilities" (defined below) for one or more persons who are not Related Persons
with respect to Equity Inns, Inc. or Lessee ("Unrelated Persons"). In order to
meet this requirement, Manager agrees that it (or a Related Person with respect
to Manager (i) shall derive at least 10% of both its revenue and profit from
operating "qualified lodging facilities" for Unrelated Persons and (ii) shall
comply with any regulations or other administrative guidance under Section
856(d)(9) of the Code with respect to the amount of hotel management business
with Unrelated Persons that is necessary to qualify as an "eligible independent
contractor" with the meaning of such Code Section.

         A "qualified lodging facility" is defined in Section 856(d)(9)(D) of
the Code and means a "lodging facility" (defined below), unless wagering

Equity Inns, Inc. In the event that Manager fails to comply with any of the
provisions of this Section 1.04, the same shall not be deemed an Event of
Default hereunder, but Lessee shall have the right to terminate this Agreement.

2.01     Hotel Management Services.

(A) Manager will manage the Hotel in accordance with its standards and policies
for the operation of comparable facilities, including the standards and policies

available to Manager to perform those activities.
<PAGE>

and rate schedules, rents, lease charges, and concession charges, all within the
parameters of the approved Annual Plan; provided, "trade-outs" in excess of one
thousand dollars ($1,000) per month shall be approved by Lessee. The Manager

all public space at the Hotel, including all stores, office space and lobby
space. All such leases, licenses or concessions shall be in Lessee's name and
may be executed by Manager on Lessee's behalf; provided, however, any such
lease, license or concession for a term in excess of one (1) year shall be
approved by Lessee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. Manager shall have the right and the obligation to negotiate and enter
into, on behalf of the Lessee, service contracts and licenses required in the
ordinary course of business in operating the Hotel, provided, however, any
contract for a term in excess of one (1) year shall be approved by Lessee, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Upon termination of this
Management Agreement, Manager shall assign any such service contracts and
licenses to the successor manager, who shall agree to assume responsibility for
said items. Manager shall sign such documents as are reasonably necessary to
effectuate the assignment and assumption, but Lessee shall be responsible for
the cost of transferring any licenses and/or permits to Lessee or the new
manager.

(C) Manager will keep the Hotel and all private roadways, sidewalks and curbs
appurtenant thereto that are under Manager's control, including windows and
plate glass, parking lots, HVAC, mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems and
equipment (including conduit and ductware), and non-load bearing interior walls,
in good order and repair, except for ordinary wear and tear (whether or not the
need for such repairs occurred as a result of Manager's use, any prior use, the
elements or the age of the Hotel or portion thereof), and, except as otherwise
provided in the provisions of this Agreement regarding hazard insurance,
condemnation proceeds and Capital Replacements, with reasonable promptness, make
all necessary and appropriate maintenance, repairs, replacements, and
improvements thereto of every kind and nature, whether interior or exterior,
ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen or arising by reason of a
condition existing prior to the commencement of the Term of this Agreement
(concealed or otherwise), or required by any governmental agency having
jurisdiction over the Hotel in such manner as to minimize current and future
Capital Replacements. The cost of all such maintenance and repairs shall be
deemed an Operating Expense. All repairs shall, to the extent reasonably
achievable, be at least equivalent in quality to the original work. Manager will
not take or omit to take any action, the taking or omission of which might
materially impair the value or the usefulness of the Hotel or any part thereof
for its Primary Intended Use.

(D) Manager shall regularly and consistently perform and shall maintain precise
records of an ongoing preventative maintenance program, the cost of which shall
be deemed an Operating Expense. Such preventative maintenance program shall be
performed as frequently as is necessary to maintain the subject equipment or the
Hotel in a first class condition and include (but not be limited to) the
following:
<PAGE>

      o  Carpet cleaning
      o  Carpet and upholstery stain removal
      o  HVAC maintenance (including filter cleaning and replacement)
      o  Boilers
      o  Painting (including door frames)
      o  FF&E repair and touch up
      o  Exterior cleaning (including power washing of building and sidewalks)

Manager shall maintain the Hotel (interior and exterior), including all public
and back of the house areas, at a high level of cleanliness at all times.

2.02     Employees.

(A) Manager, subject to Lessee's approval, will select a general manager for the
Hotel. Manager will select all other department heads for the Hotel and all
personnel which Manager determines to be necessary for the operation of the
Hotel (collectively "Employees"). All Employees will be employed at Lessee's
cost and expense, but will be employees of Manager; provided that wages and
related expenses will be deemed Operating Expenses and will be set forth in the
approved Annual Plan. Manager agrees that neither the general manager nor the
lead salesperson at the Hotel may be transferred to another hotel or similar
property owned, leased, or managed by Manager or any of its Affiliates in the
same Competitive Set as determined by Smith Travel Research without the consent
of the Lessee. In the event that Manager desires to make such a transfer,
Manager shall submit its request to Lessee in writing, and Lessee shall respond
to the request in writing, within fifteen (15) days following receipt of
Manager's request. If Lessee fails to respond to Manager's request within such
fifteen (15) day period, Lessee shall be deemed to have consented to the
transfer. The Manager shall set all personnel policies.

(B) Subject to the approved Annual Plan, all decisions with regard to the terms
of employment, including but not limited to compensation, bonuses, fringe
benefits, discharge and replacement of all Employees, will be made and
implemented directly by Manager or through the general manager, department heads
or any of their designees under the supervision of Manager.

(C) Manager will enroll the Employees in Manager's employee benefits program
(the "Benefits Program"). Manager will administer the Benefits Program in the
same manner that it administers the Benefits Program at other Hotel it operates.
The Hotel will be charged as an Operating Expense the cost of such Benefits
Program under the same formula used to calculate the cost charged to other Hotel
Manager operates and such costs shall be set forth in the approved Annual Plan.

<PAGE>

(D) Manager will respond to organizational efforts by unions and in negotiating
and implementing union agreements. With respect to Manager's employees, Manager
will control the terms of any union contract and will not be required to take
actions which will unreasonably increase Manager's liabilities pursuant to the
union contract. Upon termination of this Agreement, Lessee will assume Manager's
obligations under the union contact with respect to any employees hired by
Lessee at that time.

(E) Manager shall pay from its own funds, and not from Gross Revenues, for any
employment practices claim which (1) is a substantial violation of the standards
of responsible labor relations as generally practiced by prudent operators of
similar hotel properties in the general geographic area of the hotel or (2) is
not the isolated act of an individual employee, but rather the direct result of
corporate policies of Manager which either encourage or fail to discourage such
conduct. Manager shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lessee from and
against any fines or judgments arising out of such conduct, and all litigation
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with such
a claim.

3. ANNUAL PLAN.

3.01     Preparation and Submission.

Lessee and Manager acknowledge that the budgeting process is a critical factor
to the successful operation of the Hotel and also a key communication link
between the parties. Manager will submit to Lessee, for its approval, not later
than the dates indicated below the proposed annual plan for the Hotel (the
"Annual Plan"). The Manager shall submit to the Lessee no later than thirty (30)
days after the Commencement Date of this Agreement for the first partial
operation year and no later than November 1 of the year prior to the applicable
Operating Year, a statement of the estimated gross revenues, gross expenses and
gross operating profit for the Operating Year and prior year actual results,
including Manager's good faith reasonable assumptions as to payroll costs, room
rates and occupancies, which will reflect the estimated results of the operation
during each month of the Operating Year (the "Operating Budget") and a marketing
plan. In preparing all budgets and forecasts and the estimated profit and loss
statements comprising the Annual Plan, Manager will use its good faith
reasonable judgment and will base its estimates upon the most recent and
reliable information available taking into account the location of the Hotel and
Manager's experience in hotel operations. Manager expressly disclaims any
warranty of or representations as to results of operations of the Hotel.

3.02     Lessee's Approval.

Within thirty (30) days following submission of any components of the Annual
Plan to Lessee, Lessee shall give Manager written notice either (a) that Lessee
approves such component of the Annual Plan or (b) indicating with reasonable
specificity the respects in which Lessee objects to such component of the Annual
Plan, or component thereof; provided, however, that Lessee's approval rights
shall not apply with respect to non-discretionary budget items required by law
such as impositions (subject to the right of the Lessee to contest such
impositions or other non-discretionary items). In the latter event, Lessee and
Manager shall act promptly, reasonably and in good faith to seek to resolve
Lessee's objections. In the event that Lessee and Manager fail to reach
agreement with respect to any material component of the Operating Budget or
Annual Plan within thirty (30) days after receipt of Lessee's written notice,
Manager and Lessee shall refer any disputed Operating Budget matter to
arbitration using procedures set forth in Section 16.02 below and each party
shall endeavor to cause such arbitration to be completed as quickly as possible,

<PAGE>

but in any event not later than six (6) months following referral to
arbitration. Pending the results of such arbitration or the earlier agreement of
the parties, (i) as to any matters in the Operating Budget or Annual Plan which
have not been agreed upon, the Hotel will be operated in a manner reflecting the
prior Operating Year's actual results adjusted by multiplying said number by the
number obtained by dividing the average CPI for the twelve months ended on
September 30 of the most recently completed Operating Year by the average CPI
for the twelve months ended on September 30 of the prior Operating year, until a
new Operating Budget is adopted. In the event Lessee fails to deliver the notice
set forth in this section, within the required time period, the component of the
Annual Plan at issue shall be deemed approved.

3.03     Compliance with Annual Plan.

Manager will use good faith reasonable efforts to comply with and operate the
Hotel in accordance with the approved Annual Plan and will not incur any
material additional expense or change materially the manner of operation of the
Hotel without the written approval of Lessee unless an emergency occurs as
provided in Section 3.06.

3.04     Agreement Limitations.

Except as provided in Section 2.01 Manager will not enter into any commitment on
behalf of Lessee requiring payments of amounts in excess of the amount set forth
on Schedule I or requiring performance over a time period in excess of the
period set forth on Schedule I without the prior written approval of Lessee.
Manager shall make no payments to Affiliates as Operating Expenses hereunder
unless expressly set forth in the Operating Budget or otherwise expressly agreed
to in writing by Lessee in advance, in either case, after full written
disclosure by Manager to Lessee of the affiliation, competitive pricing and any
other related information requested by Lessee. Manager may provide Hotel rooms
and services at the Hotel on a complimentary basis without charge or other
consideration to employees of Manager or its Affiliates visiting the Hotel from
outside the area in which the Hotel is located to the extent such practice does
not materially decrease profitability, but Manager shall not provide such
complimentary rooms or service as compensation to parties providing materials or
services to the Manager or an Affiliate of Manager.

3.05     Emergencies.

The limitations of Section 3.04 do not apply to emergency repairs or emergency
actions. For the purposes of this Section 3.05, an emergency means an unforeseen
circumstance (including any unforeseen or unknown legal requirements, provided
that such requirements would be reasonably unforeseeable or unknown to a
prudent, experienced management company similarly situated to Manager and
possessing a high degree of management expertise) that in the opinion of Manager
requires immediate action which cannot be delayed in order to minimize injury to
the Hotel or injury to any person or property, provided that Manager shall give
Lessee immediate notice of any such emergency action.

Hotel as of the date of termination;

(B) any balance or moneys in the Hotel Accounts, or elsewhere, held by Manager

properties and will be transmitted electronically to Lessee in addition to hard

statement is attached as Schedule III.

6.       MANAGEMENT FEES AND EXPENSES.

6.01     Management Fees.

(A) Base Management Fees. In consideration of the services to be performed
during the term of this Agreement by Manager, the Lessee shall pay to the
Manager a periodic base management fee ("Base Management Fee") in the amount of

be paid to Manager (or retained by Manager as provided below) at such time as
the final monthly report for such month is submitted to Lessee pursuant to

date of the payment of the Base Management Fee for any month. The Manager shall
retain the Base Management Fee each month, from Gross Revenues.

6.03     Rebates and Discounts.

Because of its purchasing power derived through its operations of its
proprietary hotels, its management of hotels, and its franchising of hotels,
Manager may from time to time negotiate rebates and discounts from the vendors
of certain products and services. Manager agrees that the portion of such
rebates and discounts allocable to the Hotel will be passed on to the Lessee.

Lessee shall at all times keep the Hotel insured with the kinds and amounts of
insurance described in Section 8.03 below and in accordance with any mortgage
and the Franchise Agreement with the exception of workers' compensation
insurance and employment practices liability insurance, provided for in Sections
8.03(H) and 8.03(J), respectively. This insurance shall be written by qualified,

absolute discretion. Evidence of insurance shall be deposited with Manager.

8.02     Lessee Methods of Obtaining Insurance.

At its option, Lessee may procure and maintain the insurance by (i) undertaking
the procuring of insurance directly in its own name and behalf or (ii) agreeing

beverages are served at the Hotel, with respect to Lessee and Manager;

(F) Insurance covering such other hazards and in such amounts as may be
customary for comparable properties in the area of the Hotel and is available
from insurance companies, insurance pools or other appropriate companies
authorized to do business in the state in which the Hotel is located at rates
which are economically practicable in relation to the risks covered as may be
reasonably determined by Lessee;

by Lessee, covering Manager's employees in job classifications normally bonded

8.04     Responsibility for Premiums.

All premiums shall be reflected in the approved Annual Plan and paid out of
Gross Revenue pursuant to Section 7.01.

8.05     Replacement Cost.

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

<PAGE>

8.06     Waiver of Subrogation and Indemnities.

All insurance policies carried by Lessee or Manager covering the Hotel,
including, without limitation, contents, fire and casualty insurance, shall
expressly waive any right of subrogation on the part of the insurer against the
other party. The parties hereto agree that their policies will include such
waiver clause or endorsement so long as the same are obtainable without extra
cost, and in the event of such an extra charge the other party, at its election,
may pay the same, but shall not be obligated to do so.

8.07     Form Satisfactory, etc.

All of the policies of insurance referred to in this Section 8 shall be written
in a form, with deductibles and by insurance companies reasonably satisfactory
to the party to whom the benefit of the insurance runs in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement. Lessee shall deliver such policies or certificates
thereof to Manager prior to their effective date (and, with respect to any
renewal policy, thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the existing
policy), and in the event of the failure of Lessee to effect such insurance as
herein called for, or to deliver such policies or certificates thereof to
Manager at the times required, Manager shall be entitled, but shall have no
obligation, to effect such insurance, the premiums for which will be paid in
accordance with Section 8.04. Each insurer mentioned in this Section 8 shall
agree, by endorsement of the policy or policies issued by it, or by independent
instrument, that it will give to Lessee and Manager thirty (30) days' written
notice before the policy or policies in question shall be materially altered,
allowed to expire or canceled.

8.08     Increase in Limits.

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

8.09     Blanket Policy.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 8, Lessee may
bring the insurance provided for herein within the coverage of a so-called
blanket policy or policies of insurance carried and maintained by Lessee;
provided, however, that the coverage afforded to Lessee and Manager will not be
reduced or diminished or otherwise be different from that which would exist
under a separate policy meeting all other requirements of this Agreement by
reason of the use of such blanket policy of insurance, and provided further that
the requirements of this Section 8 are otherwise satisfied.

<PAGE>

8.10     Separate Insurance.

Lessee shall not on Lessee's own initiative or pursuant to the request or
requirement of any third party, take out separate insurance concurrent in form
or contributing in the event of loss with that required in this Section to be
furnished, or increase the amount of any then existing insurance by securing an
additional policy or additional policies, unless all parties having an insurable
interest in the subject matter of the insurance, including in all cases Manager,
are included therein as additional insured, and the loss is payable under such
additional separate insurance in the same manner as losses are payable under
this Agreement. Lessee shall immediately notify Manager that Lessee has obtained
any such separate insurance or of the increasing of any of the amounts of the
then existing insurance.

8.11     Reports on Insurance Claims.

Manager, with the assistance of Lessee, shall promptly investigate and make a
complete and timely written report to the appropriate insurance company as to
all accidents, claims for damage relating to the ownership, operation, and
maintenance of the Hotel, any damage or destruction to the Hotel and the
estimated cost of repair thereof and shall prepare any and all reports required
by any insurance company in connection therewith. All such reports shall be
timely filed with the insurance company as required under the terms of the
insurance policy involved, and a final copy of such report shall be furnished to
Lessee. Manager shall not adjust, settle, or compromise any insurance loss, or
execute proofs of such loss, with respect to the insurance coverages with
respect to any casualty or other event without the prior written consent of
Lessee.

8.12     Deductibles to be Operating Expenses.

Any Deductibles paid toward insurance claims shall be deemed Operating Expenses.

9.       INDEMNITIES.

9.01     Indemnification of Manager.

Lessee will defend, indemnify and hold Manager harmless from and against any and
all actions, suits, claims, penalties, losses, liabilities, damages and
expenses, including attorney's fees, arising out of Manager's performing the
services to be performed by Manager in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, including liabilities under statutes requiring notice as a
prerequisite to the discharge of employees if Lessee terminates this Agreement,
except claims based upon Manager's gross negligence or willful misconduct, or
action beyond the authority granted to Manager by this Agreement, and except
claims based upon Manager's employment practices which are covered by the
indemnity contained in Section 2.02 (E) herein.

<PAGE>

9.02     Indemnification of Lessee.

Manager will defend, indemnify and hold Lessee harmless from and against any and
all claims to the extent such claims arise on account of Manager's gross
negligence, willful misconduct, or action beyond the authority granted to
Manager by this Agreement.

9.03     Indemnified Parties.

The indemnities contained in this Section 9 and in Section 2.02 herein will run
to the benefit of both Manager and Lessee, and the directors, officers,
partners, agents and employees of Lessee and Manager and of their affiliates.

10.      CONDEMNATION.

10.01    Definitions.

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

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

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

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

(E) "Taking" means a taking or voluntary conveyance during the term of this
Agreement of all or a part of the Hotel, or any interest therein, or right
accruing thereto or use thereof, as the result of, or in settlement of, any
Condemnation or other eminent domain proceeding affecting the Hotel whether or
not the same shall have actually been commenced.

10.02    Parties' Rights and Obligations.

If during the Term there is any Condemnation of all or any part of the Hotel,
the rights and obligations of Lessee, its Lessor and Manager shall be determined
by this Section 10.

<PAGE>

10.03    Total Taking.

If title to the fee of the whole of the Hotel is condemned by any Condemnor,
this Agreement shall cease and terminate as of the Date of Taking by the
Condemnor. If title to the fee of less than the whole of the Hotel is so taken
or condemned, which nevertheless renders the Hotel Unsuitable or Uneconomic for
its Primary Intended Use, Lessee and Manager shall each have the option, by
notice to the other, at any time prior to the Date of Taking, to terminate this
Agreement as of the Date of Taking. Upon such date, if such notice has been
given, this Agreement shall thereupon cease and terminate. If this Agreement
terminates pursuant to this Section 10.03, Manager will comply with the
provisions of Section 5.05, and Lessee shall be solely entitled to any Award,
subject to Manager's right to seek an award from the condemning authority for
its loss of business interest only, if such separate claim is permitted. In the
event the condemning authority does award Manager for such loss, Manager shall
only be entitled to retain that portion of its condemnation award which is
necessary to compensate Manager for its lost management fee. Manager shall
promptly remit any additional amount to Lessee. In the event any jurisdiction
would permit both Manager and Lessee to seek an award for their loss of business
interests (respectively), this section shall not prohibit Lessee from making a
separate claim therefor.

10.04    Partial Taking.

If title to less than the whole of the Hotel is condemned, and the Hotel is
still suitable for its Primary Intended Use, and not Uneconomic for its Primary
Intended Use, or if Manager or Lessee is entitled but neither elects to
terminate this Agreement as provided in Section 10.03 above, Lessee at its cost
shall with all reasonable dispatch, but only to the extent of any condemnation
awards available to Lessee, restore the untaken portion of the Hotel so that it
constitutes a complete architectural unit of the same general character and
condition (as nearly as may be possible under the circumstances) as existed
immediately prior to the Condemnation. If the condemnation awards are not
adequate to restore the Hotel to that condition, each of Lessee and Manager
shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, without in any way affecting
any other management agreements in effect between Lessee and Manager, by giving
notice to the other. Upon the date set forth in such notice, this Agreement
shall thereupon cease and terminate, Manager will comply with the provisions of
Section 5.05, and Lessee and/or its Lessor shall be solely entitled to any
Award, subject to Manager's right to seek an award from the condemning authority
for its loss of business interest only, if such separate claim is permitted. In
the event the condemning authority does award Manager for such loss, Manager
shall only be entitled to retain that portion of its condemnation award which is
necessary to compensate Manager for its lost management fee. Manager shall
promptly remit any additional amount to Lessee. In the event any jurisdiction
would permit both Manager and Lessee to seek an award for their loss of business
interests (respectively), this section shall not prohibit Lessee from making a
separate claim therefor.

10.05    Temporary Taking.

If the whole or any part of the Hotel is condemned by any Condemnor for its
temporary use or occupancy, which nevertheless renders the Hotel Unsuitable or
Uneconomic for its Primary Intended Use, Lessee and Manager shall each have the
option, by notice to the other, at any time prior to the Date of Taking, to

<PAGE>

terminate this Agreement as of the Date of Taking. Upon such date, if such
notice has been given, this Agreement shall thereupon cease and terminate. If
this Agreement terminates pursuant to this Section 10.05, Manager will comply
with the provisions of Section 5.05, and Lessee and/or its Lessor shall be
solely entitled to any Award, subject to Manager's right to seek an award from
the condemning authority for its loss of business interest only, if such
separate claim is permitted. In the event the condemning authority does award
Manager for such loss, Manager shall only be entitled to retain that portion of
its condemnation award which is necessary to compensate Manager for its lost
management fee. Manager shall promptly remit any additional amount to Lessee. In
the event any jurisdiction would permit both Manager and Lessee to seek an award
for their loss of business interests (respectively), this section shall not
prohibit Lessee from making a separate claim therefor. If, however, the whole or
any part of the Hotel is condemned by any Condemnor for its temporary use or
occupancy, and the Hotel is still suitable for its Primary Intended Use, and not
Uneconomic for its Primary Intended Use, this Agreement shall not terminate by
reason thereof. Except only to the extent that Manager may be prevented from so
doing pursuant to the terms of the order of the Condemnor, Manager shall
continue to perform and observe all of the other terms, covenants, conditions
and obligations hereof on the part of the Manager to be performed and observed,
as though such Condemnation had not occurred. In the event of any Condemnation
as in this Section described, the amount of any Award made for such Condemnation
and available to Lessee, to the extent required to make all payments required
under Section 7.01 herein, shall be deposited in the Hotel Accounts and
disbursed by Manager, with the balance to be retained by Lessee. Lessee
covenants that upon the termination of any such period of temporary use or
occupancy it will, at its sole cost and expense, restore the Hotel as nearly as
may be reasonably possible to the condition in which the same was immediately
prior to such Condemnation, but only to the extent of the Award available to
Lessee, unless such period of temporary use of occupancy extends beyond the
expiration of the Term, in which case Lessee shall not be required to make such
restoration.

11.      CASUALTY.

11.01    Insurance Proceeds.
Subject to the provisions of Section 8.03(D) with respect to loss of income
insurance and Section 11.05 below and the terms of any mortgage, all proceeds
payable by reason of any loss or damage to the Hotel, or any portion thereof,
insured under any policy of insurance required by Section 8.03(A) through (C)
and (F) above shall be settled or compromised by and paid to Lessee and held in
trust by Lessee or its Lessor in an interest-bearing account, shall be made
available, if applicable, for reconstruction or repair, as the case may be, of
any damage to or destruction of the Hotel, or any portion thereof, and, if
applicable, shall be paid out by Lessee or its Lessor from time to time for the
reasonable costs of such reconstruction or repair upon terms specified in this
Agreement and such other reasonable terms and conditions specified by Lessee
consistent with the disbursement procedures for a construction loan of similar
size and scope. Any excess proceeds of insurance remaining after the completion
of the restoration or reconstruction of the Hotel shall be paid to Lessee. If
neither Lessee nor Manager is required or elects to repair and restore, and this
Agreement is terminated as described in Section 11.02 below, all such insurance
proceeds shall be retained by Lessee. All salvage resulting from any risk
covered by insurance shall belong to Lessee.

<PAGE>

11.02    Reconstruction - Damage or Destruction Covered by Insurance.

(A) Except as provided in Section 11.05 below, if during the Term the Hotel is
totally or substantially destroyed by a risk covered by the insurance described
in Section 8 above and the Hotel thereby is rendered Unsuitable for its Primary
Intended Use, Lessee shall, at Lessee's option, either (1) restore the Hotel to
substantially the same condition as existed immediately before the damage or
destruction and otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, but
only to the extent of insurance proceeds available to Lessee, or (2) terminate
this Agreement by written notice thereof to Manager. If Lessee elects
restoration of the Hotel, the insurance proceeds shall be paid out by Lessee
from time to time for the reasonable costs of such restoration upon satisfaction
of reasonable terms and conditions, and any excess proceeds remaining after such
restoration shall be paid to Lessee.

(B) Except as provided in Section 11.05 below, if during the Term the Hotel is
partially destroyed by a risk covered by the insurance described in Section 8
above, but the Hotel is not thereby rendered Unsuitable for its Primary Intended
Use, Lessee (with the cooperation of the Manager) shall restore the Hotel to
substantially the same condition as existed immediately before the damage or
destruction and otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, but
only to the extent of insurance proceeds available to Lessee. Such damage or
destruction shall not terminate this Agreement. However, if, under this Section,
Lessee cannot within a reasonable time obtain all necessary government
approvals, including building permits, licenses and conditional use permits,
after diligent efforts to do so, to perform all required repair and restoration
work and to operate the Hotel for its Primary Intended Use in substantially the
same manner as that existing immediately prior to such damage or destruction and
otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Lessee may (a) give
Manager written notice of termination of this Agreement or (b) restore the Hotel
using the proceeds of insurance. If Lessee restores the Hotel, the insurance
proceeds shall be paid out by Lessee from time to time for the reasonable costs
of such restoration, and any excess proceeds remaining after such restoration
shall be paid to Lessee.

11.03    Reconstruction - Damage or Destruction not Covered by Insurance.
         ---------------------------------------------------------------

Except as provided in Section 11.06 below, if during the Term the Hotel is
totally or substantially destroyed by a risk not covered by the insurance
described in Section 8 above, whether or not such damage or destruction renders
the Hotel Unsuitable for its Primary Intended Use, Lessee at its option shall
either (a) restore the Hotel to substantially the same condition it was in
immediately before such damage or destruction and such damage or destruction
shall not terminate this Agreement, or (b) terminate this Agreement. If Lessee
terminates this Agreement, Manager will comply with the provisions of Section
5.05.

<PAGE>

11.04    Abatement.

days, in which case Manager shall have an additional reasonable period of time
to cure such breach provided Manager proceeds promptly and with due diligence to
cure the failure and diligently completes the curing thereof; or

(B) if Manager shall file a petition in bankruptcy or reorganization for an
arrangement pursuant to any federal or state bankruptcy law or any similar
federal or state law, or shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or shall make an

herein;

that renders the Hotel unsuitable for its Primary Intended Use, Manager (without
the consent of Lessee) voluntarily ceases operations of the Hotel for a period
in excess of twenty-four (24) hours;

(F) if an Event of Default has been declared by the Franchisor under the
Franchise Agreement with respect to the Hotel as a result of any action or
failure to act by the Manager (other than a failure to complete a Capital
Replacement required by the Franchisor resulting from Lessee's failure to fund
the cost of such Capital Replacement pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof) and
Manager has failed, within thirty (30) days thereafter, to cure such default by
curing the underlying default under the Franchise Agreement and paying all costs
and expenses associated therewith, provided, however, that if Manager is in good
faith disputing an assertion of default by the Franchisor or is proceeding

from such crime (whether filed by, on behalf of or against Lessee, directly or
indirectly), any reduction in revenue reasonably attributed to such crime, any
medical costs to employees, guests or other parties related to such crime, costs
of repairing/replacing any property directly or indirectly damaged by such
crime, costs of investigating such crime, and similar costs which Lessee (or its

negligence, and the second such crime shall be deemed an event of default,
whether or not the Total Cost exceeds the insurance proceeds therefrom;

period of thirty (30) days, in which case it shall not be deemed an "Lessee
Default" if Lessee proceeds promptly and with due diligence to cure the failure
and diligently completes the curing thereof, then Manager may exercise one or
more remedies available to it herein or at law or in equity, including, but not
limited to its right to terminate this Agreement.

12.03    Unavoidable Delay.

No Event of Default under Section 12.01(A) or Lessee Default under Section 12.02
(other than a failure to make a payment of money) shall be deemed to exist

provided that upon the cessation of such Unavoidable Delay, Lessee or Manager,
as the case may be, remedies such default or Event of Default or Lessee's
Default without further delay.

                SCHEDULE IV - Definition of Capital Replacements

                              CAPITAL REPLACEMENT:

A Capital Replacement is defined as an investment in a readily identifiable
facility which (1) is held for use or income rather than for sale or conversion
into goods or cash and (2) has a useful service life in excess of one year.
Nonrecurring expenses directly associated with the investment should be included
as part of the total expenditure for evaluation purposes, this includes
preopening expenses.

                              Capitalization Policy

If the cost of the capital addition is $1,000 or greater and the items acquired
have an expected service life of more than one year, the expenditure is
capitalized. See "Maintenance and Repairs" for those expenditures which are
expensed without regard to the $1,000 guideline.

If the item(s) acquired meet the more than one-year life criterion, but the
total invoice cost is less than $1,000, the expenditure is considered an expense
item.

                          Replacement - Component Parts

If the estimated job or total invoice cost for replacement of the following
major components of building is under $5,000, the expenditure is to be expensed
to maintenance and repairs:

         Heating Equipment - Pumps, boilers, heat exchangers, thermostats;
pressure gauges alarm devices, piping.

         Plumbing Equipment - Pumps, meters, minor sprinkler system, piping.

         Air Conditioning Equipment - Compressors, condensers, motors, cooling
towers, evaporative coolers, piping.

         Fire Prevention Equipment - Major fire system sprinklers, smoke
detectors.

         Power - Transformer, conduits and boxes, panel boards, switches and
outlets.

Betterments

If the estimated job or total invoice cost is $5,000 or above, and the
expenditure(s) will extend the useful life of an asset previously capitalized,
then the expenditure should be capitalized.

Maintenance and Repairs

The following replacement expenditures are considered maintenance and repairs
and are not subject to the total invoice cost guideline of $1,000.

         Repainting of Buildings, Pools, Park Areas (1)(6)
         Refinishing of Furniture (2)
         Glass Replacement (except when Thermal replaces regular glass)
         Maintenance Service Contracts, such as Yard, Television, Elevator,
            Swimming Pool
         Wall Paper (not Vinyl) (2)
         Reupholstery of Furniture (2)
         Replastering (2)
         Replacement of Chain Locks, Key Blanks, Keys, Locks, Locksets. Locks
            and locksets installed in new doors or offering substantial
            security improvements should be capitalized if the invoice is
            over $1,000.
         Patching Parking Lot (3)
         Roof Repairs (4)
         Waterproofing of Lamp Globes and Light Bulbs

         Toilet Seats
         Stolen Televisions
         Small Parts for Equipment (see below)
         Landscaping/Plants (5)

1.   If the complete exterior of the building is repainted,
     including caulking and sealing of the building, those costs
     will be capitalized.

2.   Expenditures for interior painting, wall paper, refinishing of
     furniture, replastering or upholstering may be capitalized if:

         (a) These expenditures are part of a major refurbishment project, or

         (b) The cost of these expenditures exceed $10,000 and extend the useful
             life of the asset.

<PAGE>

3.   Repairing of parking lots, including resealing and resurfacing, will be
capitalized if the expenditure exceeds $10,000.

4.   Replacement of the complete roof or complete section of the roof (including
laying a roof over an existing roof) will be capitalized if total expenditure
exceeds $10,000.

5.   If the landscaping is new or replacement of existing interior or exterior
landscaping and exceeds $10,000, the cost of the landscaping can be capitalized.

6.   Major overhauls to the pool which exceed $10,000 in cost and extend the
useful life of the asset will be capitalized.

All expense items will be expensed to M&R expense line items above GOP. These
expenses, as a rule, should be funded from operating cash flow. Only large M&R
expenditures (in excess of $25,000) which will be funded from capital
replacement reserve may be classified to miscellaneous expense below the line.
These items must be approved by the Hotel Financial Controller.

Replacement of Component Parts

Expenditures for parts of equipment to keep the equipment in working condition
are expenses and not capital expenditures. The equipment as a whole is only
repaired by the replacements, which merely keeps it in working condition - e.g.,
compressors for air conditioners.

Software

Software costs will not be capitalized unless the cost of the software exceeds
$5,000, or it is included with the purchase of the hardware.

Retirements

If an item capitalized replaces an asset with a remaining life on the books, the
replaced asset should be written off.
