any contingency (including, without limitation, pursuant to an "equal and
ratable" clause).

For the purposes of this Agreement, any Hotel Property owned by a
Subsidiary of the Borrower shall not be deemed to be Unencumbered unless

Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants or similar

of Borrower and its Subsidiaries (determined on a Consolidated basis) shall

      SECTION 1.05  MISCELLANEOUS.  Article, Section, Schedule and Exhibit
references are to Articles and Sections of and Schedules and Exhibits to
this Agreement, unless otherwise specified.

      SECTION 1.06  AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT; COMMITMENT INCREASES.  The
parties hereto agree to use reasonable efforts to accomplish the matters
set forth in the preliminary statements of this Agreement and, without
limitation, agree to the following:

            (a)   For each Bank which does not have an Existing Note, the
Borrower will execute a Note payable to such Bank in the amount of such
Bank's Commitment which Note will constitute the Note the Borrower is
obligated to deliver to such Bank as provided in Section 3.01.

            (b)   For each Bank which has an Existing Note, the Borrower
will execute a Note payable to such Bank in the amount of such Bank's
Commitment which Note (i) will replace in its entirety such Bank's Existing
Note and either increase or decrease, as applicable, the Indebtedness
evidenced by the Existing Note and (ii) constitute the Note the Borrower is
obligated to deliver to such Bank as provided in Section 3.01.

            (c)   The Borrower shall be entitled to request that the Total
Commitments be increased to an amount not exceeding Three Hundred Million
Dollars ($300,000,000); PROVIDED that (i) no Default then exists, (ii) the
Borrower gives the Banks thirty (30) days prior written notice of such
election, (iii) no Bank shall be obligated to increase such Bank's
Commitment without such Bank's written consent which may be withheld in
such Bank's sole discretion, (iv) the Borrower, not the Banks or the
Administrative Agent, is responsible for arranging for Persons to provide
the additional Commitment amounts; and (v) any Person providing any
additional Commitment amount must qualify as an Eligible Assignee and be
reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent if such Person is not
already a Bank.  In connection with any such increase in the Total
Commitments the parties shall execute any documents reasonably requested in
connection with or to evidence such increase, including without limitation
an amendment to this Agreement.

            (d)   On the date ("Funding Date") the conditions precedent set
forth in Section 3.01 are satisfied, or, in connection with any future
increase in the Total Commitments permitted by this Agreement, the date
designated by the Administrative Agent, the Banks whose Commitments have
increased in connection with this Agreement or such future increase in the
Total Commitments, as applicable, shall fund to the Administrative Agent
such amounts as may be required to cause each of them to hold its Pro Rata
Share of Advances based upon the Commitments as of such Funding Date, and
the Administrative Agent shall distribute the funds so received to the
other Banks in such amounts as may be required to cause each of them to
hold its Pro Rata Share of Advances as of such Funding Date.  The Banks and
the Existing Lenders, as applicable, receiving such amounts to be applied
to LIBOR Advances may demand payment of the breakage costs under
Section 2.08 as though Borrower had elected to prepay such LIBOR Advances
on such date and the Borrower shall pay the amount so demanded as provided
in Section 2.08.  The first payment of interest and letter of credit fees
received by the Administrative Agent after such Funding Date shall be paid
to the Banks in amounts adjusted to reflect the adjustments of their
respective Pro Rata Shares of the Advances as of the Funding Date.  On the
Funding Date each Bank shall be deemed to have either sold or purchased, as
applicable, participations in the Letter of Credit Exposure sold to the
Banks pursuant to Section 2.13(b) of the Original Credit Agreement so that
upon consummation of all such sales and purchases each Bank holds
participations in the Letter of Credit Exposure equal to such Bank's Pro
Rata Share of the total Letter of Credit Exposure as of such Funding Date.

                                  ARTICLE II

                    THE ADVANCES AND THE LETTERS OF CREDIT

      SECTION 2.01  THE ADVANCES.  Each Bank severally agrees, on the terms
and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to make Advances to the
Borrower from time to time on any Business Day up to 30 days prior to the
Maturity Date in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding
an amount equal to such Bank's Commitment LESS such Bank's Pro Rata Share
of the Letter of Credit Exposure at such time.  The aggregate amount of all
outstanding Advances and Letter of Credit Exposure at any time may not
exceed either the lesser of (i) the Total Commitments at such time or (ii)
the Borrowing Base at such time.  Within the limits of each Bank's
Commitment and the Borrowing Base limitation set forth above, the Borrower
may from time to time prepay pursuant to Section 2.07 and reborrow under
this Section 2.01. Notwithstanding any notice requirement in this Agreement
to the contrary, for the initial Advance only the Banks and the Borrower
agree that if the conditions precedent for the initial Advance set forth in
Section 3.01 are satisfied on or prior to November 14, 2000, the initial
Advance shall be on November 14, 2000 and shall be a LIBOR Advance if
requested by the Borrower.

      SECTION 2.02  METHOD OF BORROWING.

          (A)     NOTICE.  Each Borrowing shall be made by telephone
(promptly confirmed in writing on the same day) pursuant to a Notice of
Borrowing, given not later than 12:00 Noon (Dallas, Texas time) (i) on the
third Business Day before the date of the proposed Borrowing, in the case
of a Borrowing consisting of LIBOR Advances, or (ii) on the Business Day
before the date of the proposed Borrowing, in the case of a Borrowing
consisting of Base Rate Advances, by the Borrower to the Administrative
Agent, which shall give each Bank prompt notice on the day of receipt of
such timely telephone call or Notice of Borrowing of such proposed
Borrowing by telecopier.  Each Notice of Borrowing shall be in writing or
by telecopier specifying the requested (i) date of such Borrowing, (ii)
Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing, (iii) aggregate amount of such
Borrowing, and (iv) if such Borrowing is to be comprised of LIBOR Advances,
the Interest Period for each such Advance.  In the case of a proposed
Borrowing comprised of LIBOR Advances, the Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify each Bank of the applicable interest rate under Section
2.06(b).  Each Bank shall, before 12:00 Noon (Dallas, Texas time) on the
date of such Borrowing, make available for the account of its Applicable
Lending Office to the  Administrative Agent at its address referred to in
Section 10.02, or such other location as the  Administrative Agent may
specify by notice to the Banks, in same day funds, such Bank's Pro Rata
Share of such Borrowing.  Upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set
forth in Article III, the Administrative Agent will make such funds
available to the Borrower at its account with the Administrative Agent or
to such other account as the Borrower shall specify to the Administrative
Agent in writing.

          (b)     CONVERSIONS AND CONTINUATIONS.  In order to elect to
Convert or continue Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing under
this Section, the Borrower shall deliver an irrevocable Notice of
Conversion or Continuation to the Administrative Agent at the
Administrative Agent's office no later than 12:00 Noon (Dallas, Texas time)
(i) on the date which is at least three Business Days in advance of the
proposed Conversion or continuation date in the case of a Conversion to or
a continuation of a Borrowing comprised of LIBOR Advances and (ii) on the
Business Day prior to the proposed conversion date in the case of a
Conversion to a Borrowing comprised of Base Rate Advances.  Each such
Notice of Conversion or Continuation shall be in writing or by telecopier,
specifying (i) the requested Conversion or continuation date (which shall
be a Business Day), (ii) the Borrowing amount and Type of the Advances to
be Converted or continued, (iii) whether a Conversion or continuation is
requested, and if a Conversion, into what Type of Advances, and (iv) in the

<PAGE>

case of a Conversion to, or a continuation of, LIBOR Advances, the
requested Interest Period.  Promptly after receipt of a Notice of
Conversion or Continuation under this paragraph, the Administrative Agent
shall provide each Bank with a copy thereof and, in the case of a
Conversion to or a continuation of LIBOR Advances, notify each Bank of the
applicable interest rate under Section 2.06(b).  For purposes other than
the conditions set forth in Section 3.02, the portion of Advances
comprising part of the same Borrowing that are Converted to Advances of
another Type shall constitute a new Borrowing.  If the Borrower shall fail
to specify an Interest Period for a LIBOR Advance including the
continuation of a LIBOR Advance, the Borrower shall be deemed to have
selected a Base Rate Advance.

          (c)     CERTAIN LIMITATIONS.  Notwithstanding anything in
paragraphs (a) and (b) above:

           (i)    in the case of LIBOR Advances each Borrowing shall be in
an aggregate amount of not less than $1,000,000 or greater multiples of
$100,000;

           (ii)   except for Borrowings for the acquisition by the Borrower
or its Subsidiary of Investments permitted under Sections 6.07 (c) and (d),
the Borrower may not request Borrowings on more than three days in any
calendar month.

           (iii)  at no time shall there be more than eight (8) Interest
Periods applicable to outstanding LIBOR Advances;

           (iv)   the Borrower may not select LIBOR Advances for any
Borrowing to be made, Converted or continued if a Default has occurred and
is continuing;

           (v)    if any Bank shall, at any time prior to the making of any
requested Borrowing comprised of LIBOR Advances, notify the Administrative
Agent that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of
any law or regulation after the date hereof makes it unlawful, or that any
central bank or other governmental authority asserts that it is unlawful,
for such Bank or its LIBOR Lending Office to perform its obligations under
this Agreement to make LIBOR Advances or to fund or maintain LIBOR
Advances, then such Bank's Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing shall be made
as a Base Rate Advance, provided that such Base Rate Advance shall be
considered part of the same Borrowing and interest on such Base Rate
Advance shall be due and payable at the same time that interest on the
LIBOR Advances comprising the remainder of such Borrowing shall be due and
payable; and such Bank agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts
(consistent with its internal policies and legal and regulatory
restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if the
making of such designation would avoid the effect of this paragraph and
would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Bank, be otherwise materially
disadvantageous to such Bank;

           (vi)   if the Administrative Agent is unable to determine the
LIBOR for LIBOR Advances comprising any requested Borrowing, the right of
the Borrower to select LIBOR Advances for such Borrowing or for any
subsequent Borrowing shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent
shall notify the Borrower and the Banks that the circumstances causing such
suspension no longer exist, and each Advance comprising such Borrowing
shall be a Base Rate Advance;

<PAGE>

           (vii)  if the Required Lenders shall, at least one Business Day
before the date of any requested Borrowing, notify the Administrative Agent
that the LIBOR for LIBOR Advances comprising such Borrowing will not
adequately reflect the cost to such Banks of making or funding their
respective LIBOR Advances, as the case may be, for such Borrowing, the
right of the Borrower to select LIBOR Advances for such Borrowing or for
any subsequent Borrowing shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent
shall notify the Borrower and the Banks that the circumstances causing such
suspension no longer exist, and each Advance comprising such Borrowing
shall be a Base Rate Advance; and

           (viii) if the Borrower shall fail to select the duration or
continuation of any Interest Period for any LIBOR Advances in accordance
with the provisions contained in the definition of "Interest Period" in
Section 1.01 and paragraph (a) or (b) above, the Administrative Agent will
forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Banks and such Advances will be
made available to the Borrower on the date of such Borrowing as Base Rate
Advances or, if an existing Advance, Converted into Base Rate Advances.

          (d)     NOTICES IRREVOCABLE.  Each Notice of Borrowing and Notice
of Conversion or Continuation shall be irrevocable and binding on the
Borrower.  In the case of any Borrowing which the related Notice of
Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of LIBOR Advances, the Borrower
shall indemnify each Bank against any loss, out-of-pocket cost or expense
incurred by such Bank as a result of any condition precedent for Borrowing
set forth in Article III not being satisfied for any reason, including,
without limitation, any loss, cost or expense actually incurred by reason
of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by
such Bank to fund the Advance to be made by such Bank as part of such
Borrowing when such Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on
such date.

          (e)     ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT RELIANCE.  Unless the Administrative
Agent shall have received notice from a Bank before the date of any
Borrowing that such Bank will not make available to the Administrative
Agent such Bank's Pro Rata Share of the Borrowing, the Administrative Agent
may assume that such Bank has made its Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing
available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in
accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section 2.02 and the Administrative
Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower
on such date a corresponding amount.  If and to the extent that such Bank
shall not have so made its Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing available to
the Administrative Agent, such Bank and the Borrower severally agree to
immediately repay to the Administrative Agent on demand such corresponding
amount, together with interest on such amount, for each day from the date
such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is
repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the
interest rate applicable on each such day to Advances comprising such
Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Bank, the Federal Funds Rate for
each such day.  If such Bank shall repay to the Administrative Agent such
corresponding amount and interest as provided above, such corresponding
amount so repaid shall constitute such Bank's Advance as part of such
Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement even though not made on the same
day as the other Advances comprising such Borrowing.

          (f)     BANK OBLIGATIONS SEVERAL.  The failure of any Bank to
make the Advance to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not
relieve any other Bank of its obligation, if any, to make its Advance on
the date of such Borrowing.  No Bank shall be responsible for the failure
of any other Bank to make the Advance to be made by such other Bank on the
date of any Borrowing.

<PAGE>

          (g)     NOTES.  The indebtedness of the Borrower to each Bank
resulting from Advances owing to such Bank shall be evidenced by the Note
of the Borrower payable to the order of such Bank in substantially the form
of Exhibit A.

      SECTION 2.03  FEES.

          (a)     COMMITMENT FEES.  For the period from the Effective Date
to but excluding the Maturity Date the Borrower agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of each Bank a commitment fee on the
average daily amount by which such Bank's Commitment exceeds the sum of
such Bank's outstanding Advances and Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit
Exposure at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin based upon a
360-day year.  Such fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears (i)
on the date which is 30 days following the last Business Day of each March,
June, September and December and (ii) on the Maturity Date.

          (b)     LETTER OF CREDIT FEES.  The Borrower agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Banks, fees in respect of all
Letters of Credit outstanding at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable
Margin calculated based upon a 360-day year and in respect of the maximum
amount available from time to time to be drawn under such outstanding
Letters of Credit, payable quarterly in arrears (i) on the date which is 30
days following the last Business Day of each March, June, September and
December and (ii) on the Maturity Date.  In addition, the Borrower agrees
to pay to the Issuing Bank for its own account a fee on the average daily
amount of  the aggregate undrawn maximum face amount of each Letter of
Credit issued by such Issuing Bank at a rate per annum equal to .125%, such
fees due and payable quarterly in arrears (i) on the date which is 30 days
following the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December
and (ii) on the Maturity Date.

          (c)     FACILITATORS' FEES.  The Borrower agrees to pay to the
Facilitators for their benefit the fees set forth in the Fee Letter as and
when the same are due and payable pursuant to the terms of the Fee Letter.

          (d)     SG COWEN'S FEES.  The Borrower agrees to pay to SG Cowen
for SG Cowen's account the fees set forth in the Advisory Fee Letter (the
"Advisory Fee Letter") dated September 18, 2000, by and between such
parties, as and when the same are due and payable pursuant to the terms of
such Advisory Fee Letter.

      SECTION 2.04  REDUCTION OF THE COMMITMENTS.  The Borrower may, upon
at least three Business Days' prior notice to the Administrative Agent,
permanently terminate in whole or permanently reduce ratably in part the
Commitments of the Banks; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (i) each partial
reduction shall be in the aggregate amount of not less than $5,000,000 or
an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (ii) no such
reduction shall result in a Borrowing Base deficiency as provided in
Section 2.07(c)(i), and (iii) no such reduction shall result in the Total
Commitments of the Banks being less than $100,000,000.

      SECTION 2.05  REPAYMENT OF ADVANCES.  The Borrower shall repay the
outstanding principal amount of each Advance on the Maturity Date.

      SECTION 2.06  INTEREST, LATE PAYMENT FEE.  The Borrower shall pay
interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance made by each Bank
from the date of such Advance until such principal amount shall be paid in
full, at the following rates per annum:

<PAGE>

          (a)     BASE RATE ADVANCES.  If such Advance is a Base Rate
Advance, a rate per annum (computed on the actual number of days elapsed,
including the first day and excluding the last, based on a 365 day year)
equal at all times to the lesser of (i) the Adjusted Base Rate in effect
from time to time plus the Applicable Margin and (ii) the Maximum Rate,
payable in arrears on the first day of each calendar month, provided that
during the continuance of an Event of Default, Base Rate Advances shall
bear interest at a rate per annum equal at all times to the lesser of
(i) the rate required to be paid on such Advance immediately prior to the
date on which such Event of Default commenced plus two percent (2%) and
(ii) the Maximum Rate.

          (b)     LIBOR ADVANCES.  If such Advance is a LIBOR Advance, a
rate per annum (computed on the actual number of days elapsed, including
the first day and excluding the last, based on a 360 day year) equal at all
times during the Interest Period for such Advance to the lesser of (i) the
LIBOR for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin and (ii) the
Maximum Rate, payable in arrears on the last day of such Interest Period,
and on the date such LIBOR Advance shall be paid in full, and, with respect
to LIBOR Advances having an Interest Period in excess of one month, the
first day of each calendar month during such Interest Period; provided that
during the continuance of an Event of Default, LIBOR Advances shall bear
interest at a rate per annum equal at all times to the lesser of (i) the
rate required to be paid on such Advance immediately prior to the date on
which such Event of Default commenced plus two percent (2%) and (ii) the
Maximum Rate.

          (c)     USURY RECAPTURE.  In the event the rate of interest
chargeable under this Agreement or the Notes at any time is greater than
the Maximum Rate, the unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall bear
interest at the Maximum Rate until the total amount of interest paid or
accrued on the Notes equals the amount of interest which would have been
paid or accrued on the Notes if the stated rates of interest set forth in
this Agreement had at all times been in effect.  In the event, upon payment
in full of the Notes, the total amount of interest paid or accrued under
the terms of this Agreement and the Notes is less than the total amount of
interest which would have been paid or accrued if the rates of interest set
forth in this Agreement had, at all times, been in effect, then the
Borrower shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, pay the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks an amount equal to the
difference between (i) the lesser of (A) the amount of interest which would
have been charged on the Notes if the Maximum Rate had, at all times, been
in effect and (B) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the
Notes if the rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times
been in effect and (ii) the amount of interest actually paid or accrued
under this Agreement on the Notes.  In the event the Banks ever receive,
collect or apply as interest any sum in excess of the Maximum Rate, such
excess amount shall, to the extent permitted by law, be applied to the
reduction of the principal balance of the Notes, and if no such principal
is then outstanding, such excess or part thereof remaining shall be paid to
the Borrower.

          (d)     OTHER AMOUNTS OVERDUE.  If any amount payable under this
Agreement other than the Advances is not paid when due and payable,
including without limitation, accrued interest and fees, then such overdue
amount shall accrue interest hereon due and payable on demand at a rate per
annum equal to the Adjusted Base Rate plus two percent (2%), from the date
such amount became due until the date such amount is paid in full.

<PAGE>

      SECTION 2.07  PREPAYMENTS.

          (a)     RIGHT TO PREPAY.  The Borrower shall have no right to
prepay any principal amount of any Advance except as provided in this
Section 2.07.

          (b)     OPTIONAL PREPAYMENTS.  The Borrower may elect to prepay
any of the Advances, after giving by 12:00 Noon (Dallas, Texas time) (i) in
the case of LIBOR Advances, at least three Business Days' prior written
notice or (ii) in case of Base Rate Advances, at least one Business Day's
prior written notice to the Administrative Agent stating the proposed date
and aggregate principal amount of such prepayment, and if applicable, the
relevant Interest Period for the Advances to be prepaid.  If any such
notice is given, the Borrower shall prepay Advances comprising part of the
same Borrowing in whole or ratably in part in an aggregate principal amount
equal to the amount specified in such notice, and with respect to LIBOR
Advances shall also pay accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on
the principal amount prepaid and amounts, if any, required to be paid
pursuant to Section 2.08 as a result of such prepayment being made on such
date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that each partial prepayment shall be in an
aggregate principal amount not less than $1,000,000 and in integral
multiples of $100,000.

          (c)     MANDATORY PREPAYMENTS.

           (i)    BORROWING BASE DEFICIENCY.  On or prior to the fifth
(5th) Business Day following a Borrowing Base Determination Date occurring
under the provisions of Section 2.14, the Borrower shall be required to
prepay Advances in an aggregate amount equal to the excess of (A) the
aggregate amount of outstanding Advances and Letter of Credit Exposure on
such date over (B) the lesser of (1) the Borrowing Base, as determined on
such Borrowing Base Determination Date or (2) the Total Commitments at such
time (or, upon payment in full of all outstanding Advances, to deposit into
the Cash Collateral Account an amount equal to the amount of the Letter of
Credit Exposure which exceeds the Borrowing Base).

           (ii)   ACCRUED INTEREST.  Each prepayment pursuant to this
Section 2.07(c) of a LIBOR Advance shall be accompanied by accrued interest
on the amount prepaid to the date of such prepayment and amounts, if any,
required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.08 as a result of such prepayment
being made on such date.

          (d)     RATABLE PAYMENTS.  Each payment of any Advance pursuant
to this Section 2.07 or any other provision of this Agreement shall be made
in a manner such that all Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing
are paid in whole or ratably in part.

          (e)     EFFECT OF NOTICE.  All notices given pursuant to this
Section 2.07 shall be irrevocable and binding upon the Borrower.

      SECTION 2.08  BREAKAGE COSTS.  If (a) any payment of principal of any
LIBOR Advance is made other than on the last day of the Interest Period for
such Advance as a result of any payment pursuant to Section 2.07 or the
acceleration of the maturity of the Notes pursuant to Article VIII or
otherwise; (b) any Conversion of a LIBOR Advance is made other than on the
last day of the Interest Period for such Advance pursuant to Section 2.12
or otherwise; or (c) the Borrower fails to make a principal or interest
payment with respect to any LIBOR Advance on the date such payment is due
and payable, the Borrower shall, within 10 days of any written demand sent
by any Bank to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Bank any amounts (without
duplication of any other amounts payable in respect of breakage costs)
required to compensate such Bank for any losses (other than lost profit),
out-of-pocket costs or expenses which it may reasonably incur as a result
of such payment or nonpayment, including, without limitation, any loss,
cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of
deposits or other funds acquired by any Bank to fund or maintain such
Advance.

<PAGE>

      SECTION 2.09  INCREASED COSTS.

          (a)     LIBOR ADVANCES.  If, due to either (i) the introduction
of or any change (other than any change by way of imposition or increase of
reserve requirements included in the calculation of the LIBOR) in or in the
interpretation of any law or regulation enacted, issued or promulgated
after the date of this Agreement or (ii) the compliance with any guideline
or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether
or not having the force of law) enacted, issued or promulgated after the
date of this Agreement, there shall be any increase in the cost to any Bank
of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining LIBOR Advances, then
the Borrower shall from time to time, within 10 days of written demand by
such Bank (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to
the Administrative Agent for the account of such Bank additional amounts
(without duplication of any other amounts payable in respect of increased
costs) sufficient to compensate such Bank for such increased cost;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, before making any such demand, each Bank agrees to
use commercially reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy
and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable
Lending Office if the making of such a designation would avoid the need
for, or reduce the amount of, such increased cost and would not, in the
reasonable judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such
Bank.  A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost and detailing
the calculation of such cost submitted to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent by such Bank at the time such Bank demands payment
under this Section shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent
manifest error.

          (b)     CAPITAL ADEQUACY.  If any Bank or the Issuing Bank
determines in good faith that compliance with any law or regulation or any
guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority
(whether or not having the force of law) enacted, issued or promulgated
after the date of this Agreement affects or would affect the amount of
capital required or expected to be maintained by such Bank or the Issuing
Bank and that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the
existence of such Bank's commitment to lend or the Issuing Bank's
commitment to issue Letters of Credit or any Bank's commitment to risk
participate in Letters of Credit and other commitments of this type, then,
upon 30 days prior written notice by such Bank or the Issuing Bank (with a
copy of any such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall
immediately pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Bank or
to the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, from time to time as specified by
such Bank or the Issuing Bank, additional amounts (without duplication of
any other amounts payable in respect of increased costs) sufficient to
compensate such Bank or the Issuing Bank, in light of such circumstances,
(i) with respect to such Bank, to the extent that such Bank reasonably
determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of
such Bank's commitment to lend under this Agreement or its commitment to
risk participate in Letters of Credit and (ii) with respect to the Issuing
Bank, to the extent that such Issuing Bank reasonably determines such
increase in capital to be allocable to the issuance or maintenance of the
Letters of Credit.  A certificate as to such amounts and detailing the
calculation of such amounts submitted to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent by such Bank or the Issuing Bank shall be conclusive
and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

<PAGE>

          (c)     LETTERS OF CREDIT.  If any change in any law or
regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any court or administrative
or Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof enacted,
issued or promulgated after the date of this Agreement shall either
(i) impose, modify, or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, or
similar requirement against letters of credit issued by, or assets held by,
or deposits in or for the account of, Issuing Bank or any Bank or
(ii) impose on Issuing Bank or any Bank any other condition regarding the
provisions of this Agreement relating to the Letters of Credit or any
Letter of Credit Obligations, and the result of any event referred to in
the preceding clause (i) or (ii) shall be to increase the cost to Issuing
Bank of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit, or increase the cost
to such Bank of its risk participation in any Letter of Credit (which
increase in cost shall be determined by Issuing Bank's or such Bank's
reasonable allocation of the aggregate of such cost increases resulting
from such event), then, within 10 days of written demand by Issuing Bank or
such Bank (with a copy sent to the Administrative Agent), as the case may
be, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of
Issuing Bank or Bank, as the case may be, from time to time as specified by
Issuing Bank or such Bank, additional amounts which shall be sufficient to
compensate such Issuing Bank or such Bank for such increased cost.  Issuing
Bank and each Bank agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts
(consistent with internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to
designate a different Applicable Lending Office for the booking of its
Letters of Credit or risk participations if the making of such designation
would avoid the effect of this paragraph and would not, in the reasonable
judgment of Issuing Bank or such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to
Issuing Bank or such Bank, as the case may be.  A certificate as to such
increased cost incurred by Issuing Bank or such Bank, as the case may be,
as a result of any event mentioned in clause (i) or (ii) above, and
detailing the calculation of such increased costs submitted by Issuing Bank
or such Bank to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

      SECTION 2.10  PAYMENTS AND COMPUTATIONS.

          (a)     Payment Procedures.  Except if otherwise set forth
herein, the Borrower shall make each payment under this Agreement and under
the Notes not later than 12:00 Noon (Dallas, Texas time) on the day when
due in Dollars to the Administrative Agent without setoff, deduction or
counterclaim at the location referred to in the Notes (or such other
location as the Administrative Agent shall designate in writing to the
Borrower) in same day funds.  The Administrative Agent will on the same day
such payment is deemed received from the Borrower cause to be distributed
like funds relating to the payment of principal, interest or fees ratably
(other than amounts payable solely to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing
Banks, or a specific Bank pursuant to Section 2.03(b), 2.03(c), 2.06(c),
2.08, 2.09, 2.11, 2.12, or 2.13(c) but after taking into account payments
effected pursuant to Section 10.04) to the Banks in accordance with each
Bank's Pro Rata Share for the account of their respective Applicable
Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount
payable to any Bank or Issuing Bank for the account of its Applicable
Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement.  If and to the extent that the Administrative Agent shall
not have so made payment to a Bank on the day required under this
Agreement, the Administrative Agent agrees to immediately pay such Bank
such payment, together with interest on such amount, for each day from the
date such amount was deemed received by the Administrative Agent until the
date such amount is paid to such Bank at the Federal Funds Rate for each
such day.

<PAGE>

          (b)     COMPUTATIONS.  All computations of interest based on the
Adjusted Base Rate shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis
of a year of 365 days and all computations of fees and interest based on
the LIBOR and the Federal Funds Rate shall be made by the Administrative
Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual
number of days (including the first day, but excluding the last day)
occurring in the period for which such interest or fees are payable.  Each
determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

          (c)     NON-BUSINESS DAY PAYMENTS.  Whenever any payment shall be
stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be
made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall
in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or fees,
as the case may be; PROVIDED, however, that if such extension would cause
payment of interest on or principal of LIBOR Advances to be made in the
next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next
preceding Business Day.

          (d)     ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT RELIANCE.  Unless the Administrative
Agent shall have received written notice from the Borrower prior to the
date on which any payment is due to the Banks that the Borrower will not
make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the
Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such
date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption,
cause to be distributed to each Bank on such date an amount equal to the
amount then due such Bank.  If and to the extent the Borrower shall not
have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Bank
shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount
distributed to such Bank, together with interest, for each day from the
date such amount is distributed to such Bank until the date such Bank
repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate
for each such day.

          (e)     APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS.  Unless otherwise specified in
Section 2.07 hereof, whenever any payment received by the Administrative
Agent under this Agreement is insufficient to pay in full all amounts then
due and payable under this Agreement and the Notes, such payment shall be
distributed and applied by the Administrative Agent and the Banks in the
following order:  FIRST, to the payment of fees and expenses due and
payable to the Administrative Agent under and in connection with this
Agreement or any other Credit Document; SECOND, to the payment of all
expenses due and payable under Section 2.11(c), ratably among the Banks in
accordance with the aggregate amount of such payments owed to each such
Bank; THIRD, to the payment of fees due and payable to the Issuing Bank
pursuant to Section 2.03(b); FOURTH, to the payment of all other fees due
and payable under Section 2.03; and FIFTH, to the payment of the interest
accrued on and the principal amount of all of the Notes and the interest
accrued on and all Letter of Credit Obligations, regardless of whether any
such amount is then due and payable, ratably among the Banks in accordance
with the respective Pro Rata Share.

          (f)     REGISTER.  The Administrative Agent shall record in the
Register the Commitment and the Advances from time to time of each Bank and
each repayment or prepayment in respect to the principal amount of such
Advances of each Bank.  Any such recordation shall be conclusive and
binding on the Borrower and each Bank, absent manifest error; PROVIDED
HOWEVER, that failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such
recordation, shall not affect the Borrower's obligations hereunder in
respect of such Advances.

<PAGE>

      SECTION 2.11  TAXES.

          (a)     NO DEDUCTION FOR CERTAIN TAXES.  Any and all payments by
the Borrower shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.10, free and clear
of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies,
imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with
respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Bank, Issuing Bank, and the
Administrative Agent, taxes imposed on its income, and franchise taxes
imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Bank,
Issuing Bank, or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized
or any political subdivision of such jurisdiction or by the jurisdiction of
such Bank's Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision of such
jurisdiction (all such nonexcluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions,
charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as
"Taxes").  If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes
from or in respect of any sum payable to any Bank, Issuing Bank, or the
Administrative Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be
necessary so that, after making all required deductions (including
deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.11),
such Bank, Issuing Bank, or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be)
receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deductions been made; PROVIDED, however, that if the Borrower's obligation
to deduct or withhold Taxes is caused solely by such Bank's, Issuing
Bank's, or the Administrative Agent's failure to provide the forms
described in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.11 and such Bank, Issuing
Bank, or the Administrative Agent could have provided such forms, no such
increase shall be required; (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions;
and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant
taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Legal
Requirements.

          (b)     OTHER TAXES.  In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any
present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or
property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made
or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with
respect to, this Agreement, the Notes, or the other Credit Documents
(hereinafter referred to as "Other Taxes").

          (c)     INDEMNIFICATION.  Subject to the proviso of Section
2.11(a), the Borrower indemnifies each Bank, Issuing Bank, and the
Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes
(including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any
Governmental Authority on amounts payable under this Section 2.11) paid by
such Bank, Issuing Bank, or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be)
and any liability (including interest and expenses) arising therefrom or
with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were
correctly or legally asserted.  Each payment required to be made by the
Borrower in respect of this indemnification shall be made to the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of any party claiming such
indemnification within 30 days from the date the Borrower receives written
demand detailing the calculation of such amounts therefor from the
Administrative Agent on behalf of itself as Administrative Agent, Issuing
Bank, or any such Bank.  If any Bank, the Administrative Agent, or Issuing
Bank receives a refund in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the
Borrower under this paragraph (c), such Bank, the Administrative Agent, or
Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall promptly pay to the Borrower the
Borrower's share of such refund.

          (d)     EVIDENCE OF TAX PAYMENTS.  The Borrower will pay prior to
delinquency all Taxes and Other Taxes payable in respect of any payment.
Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the Borrower will
furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in
Section 10.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing
payment of such Taxes or Other Taxes.

<PAGE>

          (e)     FOREIGN BANK WITHHOLDING EXEMPTION.  Each Bank and each
Issuing Bank that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States
of America or a state thereof agrees that it will deliver to the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent on the date of this Agreement or upon the
effectiveness of any Assignment and Acceptance two duly completed copies of
the Prescribed Forms, certifying in each case that such Bank is entitled to
receive payments under this Agreement and the Notes payable to it, without
deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes.  Each
Bank which delivers to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a
Prescribed Form further undertakes to deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent two further copies of a replacement Prescribed Form,
on or before the date that any such Prescribed Form expires or becomes
obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the
most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent, and such extensions or renewals thereof as may
reasonably be requested by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
certifying that such Bank is entitled to receive payments under this
Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal
income taxes.  If an event (including without limitation any change in
treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any
delivery required by the preceding sentence would otherwise be required
which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent any Bank
from duly completing and delivering any such Prescribed Form with respect
to it and such Bank advises the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that
it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or
withholding of United States federal income tax, such Bank shall not be
required to deliver such forms.  The Borrower shall withhold tax at the
rate and in the manner required by the laws of the United States with
respect to payments made to a Bank failing to timely provide the requisite
Prescribed Forms.

      SECTION 2.12  ILLEGALITY.  If any Bank shall notify the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the introduction of or any
change in or in the interpretation of any Legal Requirement makes it
unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority asserts
that it is unlawful for such Bank or its LIBOR Lending Office to perform
its obligations under this Agreement to maintain any LIBOR Advances of such
Bank then outstanding hereunder, then, notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, the Borrower shall, if demanded by such Bank by notice to the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 Noon (Dallas,
Texas time), (a) if not prohibited by Legal Requirement to maintain such
LIBOR Advances for the duration of the Interest Period, on the last day of
the Interest Period for each outstanding LIBOR Advance of such Bank or
(b) if prohibited by Legal Requirement to maintain such LIBOR Advances for
the duration of the Interest Period, on the second Business Day following
its receipt of such notice from such Bank, Convert all LIBOR Advances of
such Bank then outstanding to Base Rate Advances, and pay accrued interest
on the principal amount Converted to the date of such Conversion and
amounts, if any, required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.08 as a result
of such Conversion being made on such date.  Each Bank agrees to use
commercially reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and
legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable
Lending Office if the making of such designation would avoid the effect of
this paragraph and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Bank, be
otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank.

<PAGE>

      SECTION 2.13  LETTERS OF CREDIT.

          (a)     ISSUANCE.  From time to time from the date of this
Agreement until three months before the Maturity Date, at the request of
the Borrower, the Issuing Bank shall, on any Business Day and on the terms
and conditions hereinafter set forth, issue, increase, decrease, amend, or
extend the expiration date of Letters of Credit for the account of the
Borrower (for its own benefit or for the benefit of any of its
Subsidiaries).   Upon the Effective Date, but subject to the limitations
contained in the following sentence, each Existing Letter of Credit shall
be automatically converted to a Letter of Credit.  No Letter of Credit will
be issued, increased, or extended and no Existing Letter of Credit will be
converted to a Letter of Credit (i) if such issuance, increase, or
extension would cause the Letter of Credit Exposure to exceed the lesser of
(x) $25,000,000 or (y) an amount equal to (A) the lesser of the Borrowing
Base or the Total Commitments LESS (B) the aggregate outstanding Advances
and Letter of Credit Exposure at such time; (ii) unless such Letter of
Credit has an Expiration Date not later than the earlier of (A) one year
after the date of issuance thereof and (B) one day prior to the Maturity
Date; (iii) unless such Letter of Credit is in form and substance
acceptable to the respective Issuing Bank; (iv) unless such Letter of
Credit is a standby letter of credit not supporting the repayment of
indebtedness for borrowed money of any Person; (v) unless the Borrower has
delivered to the respective Issuing Bank the completed and executed Letter
of Credit Documents (other than the Letter of Credit) on such Issuing
Bank's standard form, which shall contain terms no more restrictive than
the terms of this Agreement; (vi) unless such Letter of Credit is governed
by the International Standby Practices (1998) ("ISP") or any successor to
the ISP; and (vii) unless no Default has occurred and is continuing or
would result from the issuance of such Letter of Credit.  If the terms of
any of the Letter of Credit Documents referred to in the foregoing
clause (v) conflicts with the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this
Agreement shall control.

          (b)     PARTICIPATIONS.  On the date of the issuance or increase
of any Letter of Credit on or after the Effective Date or the conversion of
any Existing Letter of Credit to a Letter of Credit in accordance with
provisions of the preceding Section 2.13(a), each Issuing Bank shall be
deemed to have sold to each other Bank and each other Bank shall have been
deemed to have purchased from such Issuing Bank a participation in the
Letter of Credit Exposure related to the Letters of Credit issued by such
Issuing Bank equal to such Bank's Pro Rata Share at such date and such sale
and purchase shall otherwise be in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.  Each Issuing Bank shall promptly notify each such participant
Bank by telex, telephone, or telecopy of each Letter of Credit of such
Issuing Bank issued, increased or decreased, and the actual dollar amount
of such Bank's participation in such Letter of Credit.  Each Bank's
obligation to purchase participating interests pursuant to this Section and
to reimburse the respective Issuing Bank for such Bank's Pro Rata Share of
any payment under a Letter of Credit by such Issuing Bank not reimbursed in
full by the Borrower shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be
affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (i) any of the
circumstances described in paragraph (d) below, (ii) the occurrence and
continuance of a Default, (iii) an adverse change in the financial
condition of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or (iv) any other circumstance,
happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the
foregoing, except for any such circumstance, happening or event
constituting or arising from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the
part of such Issuing Bank.

<PAGE>

          (c)     REIMBURSEMENT.  The Borrower shall pay promptly on demand
to each Issuing Bank in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by such
Issuing Bank an amount equal to any amount paid by such Issuing Bank under
or in respect of such Letter of Credit.  In the event any Issuing Bank
makes a payment pursuant to a request for draw presented under a Letter of
Credit and such payment is not promptly reimbursed by the Borrower upon
demand, such Issuing Bank shall give notice of such payment to the
Administrative Agent and the Banks, and each Bank shall promptly reimburse
such Issuing Bank for such Bank's Pro Rata Share of such payment, and such
reimbursement shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement to
constitute a Base Rate Advance to the Borrower from such Bank.  If such
reimbursement is not made by any Bank to any Issuing Bank on the same day
on which such Issuing Bank shall have made payment on any such draw, such
Bank shall pay interest thereon to such Issuing Bank for each such day from
the date such payment should have been made until the date repaid at a rate
per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate for each such day.  The Borrower
hereby unconditionally and irrevocably authorizes, empowers, and directs
the Administrative Agent and the Banks to record and otherwise treat each
payment under a Letter of Credit not immediately reimbursed by the Borrower
as a Borrowing comprised of Base Rate Advances to the Borrower.

          (d)     OBLIGATIONS UNCONDITIONAL.  Except to the extent provided
in Section 2.13(e), the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement in
respect of each Letter of Credit shall be unconditional and irrevocable,
and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
under all circumstances, notwithstanding the following circumstances:

           (i)    any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of
Credit Documents;

           (ii)   any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure
from any Letter of Credit Documents;

           (iii)  the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other
right which the Borrower or any Bank or any other Person may have at any
time against any beneficiary or transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any
Persons for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be
acting), the respective Issuing Bank or any other Person or entity, whether
in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated in this
Agreement or in any Letter of Credit Documents or any unrelated
transaction;

           (iv)   any statement or any other document presented under such
Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient
in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any
respect to the extent the respective Issuing Bank would not be liable
therefor pursuant to the following paragraph (e);

           (v)    payment by the respective Issuing Bank under such Letter
of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate which does not
comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or

           (vi)   any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether
or not similar to any of the foregoing.

          (e)     LIABILITY OF ISSUING BANKS.  The Borrower assumes all
risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any
Letter of Credit with respect to its use of such Letter of Credit.  No
Issuing Bank, nor any other Bank, nor any of their respective officers or
directors shall be liable or responsible for:

           (i)    the use which may be made of any Letter of Credit or any
acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith;

<PAGE>

           (ii)   the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or
of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in
any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged;

           (iii)  payment by such Issuing Bank against presentation of
documents which do not comply with the terms of a Letter of Credit,
including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate
reference to the relevant Letter of Credit; or

           (iv)   any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing
to make payment under any Letter of Credit (including such Issuing Bank's
own negligence);

EXCEPT that the Borrower shall have a claim against such Issuing Bank, and
such Issuing Bank shall be liable to, and shall promptly pay to, the
Borrower, to the extent of any direct, as opposed to consequential, damages
suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by (A) such
Issuing Bank's willful misconduct or gross negligence in determining
whether documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms
of such Letter of Credit or (B) such Issuing Bank's gross negligence in
failing to make lawful payment under any Letter of Credit after the
presentation to it of a draft and certificate strictly complying with the
terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit.  In furtherance and not in
limitation of the foregoing, any Issuing Bank may accept documents that
appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further
investigation.

      SECTION 2.14  DETERMINATION OF BORROWING BASE.  The Borrowing Base
shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, as follows:

          (a)     QUARTERLY.  On the 45th day following each calendar
quarter the Administrative Agent shall determine the Borrowing Base upon
receipt of a Borrowing Base Certificate setting forth the components of the
Borrowing Base dated as of the last day of the immediately preceding
calendar quarter.

          (b)     PROPERTY ADJUSTMENTS.  Following each addition or
deletion of a Hotel Property as an Eligible Property (an "Adjustment
Event"), and the Administrative Agent's receipt of a Property Adjustment
Report with respect thereto, the Administrative Agent shall adjust the
Borrowing Base accordingly.

          (c)     REDUCTION OF COMMITMENTS.  Following each reduction of
the Commitments pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.04.

          (d)     NOTICE OF BORROWING BASE CHANGE.  Promptly following any
date the Borrowing Base is re-determined in accordance with the preceding
paragraphs, the Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Banks and the
Borrower of the new Borrowing Base.

<PAGE>

      SECTION 2.15  BANK REPLACEMENT.

          (a)     RIGHT TO REPLACE.  The Borrower shall have the right to
replace each Bank affected by a condition under Section 2.02(c)(v), 2.09,
2.11, or 2.12 for more than 90 days (each such affected Bank, an "Affected
Bank") in accordance with the procedures in this Section 2.15 and provided
that no reduction of the total Commitments occurs as a result thereof.

          (b)     FIRST RIGHT OF REFUSAL; REPLACEMENT.

           (i)    Upon the occurrence of any condition permitting the
replacement of a Bank, the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion
shall have the right to reallocate the amount of the Commitments of the
Affected Banks, including without limitation to Persons which are not
already party to this Agreement but which qualify as Eligible Assignees,
which election shall be made by written notice within 30 days after the
date such condition occurs.

           (ii)   If the aggregate amount of the reallocated Commitments is
less than the Commitments of the Affected Banks, (A) the respective
Commitments of the Banks which have received such reallocated Commitments
shall be increased by the respective amounts of their proposed
reallocations, and (B) the Borrower shall have the right to add additional
Banks which are Eligible Assignees to this Agreement to replace such
Affected Banks, which additional Banks would have aggregate Commitments no
greater than those of the Affected Banks MINUS the amounts of the
Commitments already reallocated.

          (c)     PROCEDURE.  Any assumptions of Commitments pursuant to
this Section 2.15 shall be (i) made by the purchasing Bank or Eligible
Assignee and the selling Bank entering into an Assignment and Assumption
and by following the procedures in Section 10.06 for adding a Bank.  In
connection with the reallocation of the Commitments of any Bank pursuant to
the foregoing paragraph (b), each Bank with a reallocated Commitment shall
purchase from the Affected Banks at par such Bank's ratable share of the
outstanding Advances of the Affected Banks and assume such Bank's ratable
share of the Affected Banks' Letter of Credit Exposure.

      SECTION 2.16  SHARING OF PAYMENTS, ETC.  If any Bank shall obtain any
payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right
of set-off or otherwise) on account of its Advances or its share of Letter
of Credit Obligations in excess of its Pro Rata Share of payments on
account of the Advances or Letter of Credit Obligations obtained by all the
Banks, such Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent and forthwith
purchase from the other Banks such participations in the Advances made by
them or Letter of Credit Obligations held by them as shall be necessary to
cause such purchasing Bank to share the excess payment ratably in
accordance with the requirements of this Agreement with each of them;
PROVIDED, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is
thereafter recovered from such purchasing Bank, such purchase from each
Bank shall be rescinded and such Bank shall repay to the purchasing Bank
the purchase price to the extent of such Bank's ratable share (according to
the proportion of (a) the amount of the participation sold by such Bank to
the purchasing Bank as a result of such excess payment to (b) the total
amount of such excess payment) of such recovery, together with an amount
equal to such Bank's ratable share (according to the proportion of (a) the
amount of such Bank's required repayment to the purchasing Bank to (b) the
total amount of all such required repayments to the purchasing Bank) of any
interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Bank in respect
of the total amount so recovered.  The Borrower agrees that any Bank so
purchasing a participation from another Bank pursuant to this Section 2.16
may, to the fullest extent permitted by Legal Requirement, unless and until
rescinded as provided above, exercise all its rights of payment (including
the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if
such Bank were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such
participation.

and the addition of the Hotel Property as an Eligible Property shall not
(A) cause the Eligible Properties in the aggregate to violate the Borrowing

Borrower or the Parent failing to comply with any of the financial
covenants contained herein; and

           (ii)   The Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative

acknowledged (or caused to be executed and acknowledged) and delivered to

created under the Credit Documents, or otherwise to carry out the purposes
of the Credit Documents, and the transactions contemplated thereunder. The
Administrative Agent shall have received all other evidence and information
that they may reasonably require.

As of the date of this Agreement, (a) the Borrower represents to the Banks
and the Administrative Agent that to the best of the Borrower's knowledge
the Initial Properties qualify as Eligible Properties, and (b) the Banks
and the Administrative Agent agree with the Borrower that to  their actual
knowledge, without investigation, the Initial Properties qualify as

Upon 10 Business Days prior written notice from the Borrower to the

added (subject to the other requirements for a Hotel Property qualifying as
an Eligible Property) or deleted as an Eligible Property.  Such notice
shall be accompanied by a Property Adjustment Report with respect to such
addition or deletion and (a) with respect to an addition, the certificate
required under Section 3.03(k)(i) and (b) with respect to a deletion,

Administrative Agent that such deletion shall not (A) cause the Eligible

failing to comply with any of the financial covenants contained herein.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the
Required Lenders in their reasonable discretion may upon 30 days prior
written notice to the Borrower designate that a Hotel Property is no longer
an Eligible Property upon their determination that such Hotel Property does
not satisfy the requirements for qualifying as an Eligible Property;

requirements deemed unsatisfied by the Required Lenders, such Hotel
Property shall remain an Eligible Property.

If no Default exists at such time, then in connection with any deletion of
a Hotel Property from qualifying as an Eligible Property, any Borrower's
Subsidiary which owned or leased such Hotel Property, but not any other
Eligible Property, shall be released from such Subsidiaries obligations
under the Guaranty.

                      AGENCY AND ISSUING BANK PROVISIONS

and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as the
Administrative Agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this
Agreement and the other Credit Documents as are delegated to the
Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and of the other Credit Documents,
together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  As to any
matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or any other Credit
Document (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of the
Notes), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any
discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain
from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from
acting) upon the instructions of the Required Lenders, and such
instructions shall be binding upon all Banks and all holders of Notes;
PROVIDED, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to
take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal
liability or which is contrary to this Agreement, any other Credit
Document, or applicable law.  The functions of the Administrative Agent are
administerial in nature and in no event shall the Administrative Agent have
a fiduciary or trustee relation in respect of any Bank by reason of this
Agreement or any other Credit Document.  Within 5 Business Days of the
Administrative Agent or a Bank receiving actual notice (without any duty to
investigate) of a Default, the Administrative Agent or such Bank, as
applicable, will provide written notice of such Default to the Banks.

connection with this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, except for
its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Without
limitation of the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:
(a) may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until the
Administrative Agent receives written notice of the assignment or transfer
thereof signed by such payee and in form satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent; (b) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the
Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it
and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good
faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or
experts; (c) makes no warranty or representation to any Bank and shall not
be responsible to any Bank for any statements, warranties or
representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the other
Credit Documents; (d) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as

conditions of this Agreement or any other Credit Document on the part of
the Parent, the Borrower or their Subsidiaries or to inspect the property
(including the books and records) of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries; (e)
shall not be responsible to any Bank for the due execution, legality,
validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this
Agreement or any other Credit Document; and (f) shall incur no liability
under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Credit Document by
acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing
(which may be by telecopier, telegram, cable or telex) believed by it to be
genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

<PAGE>

      SECTION 9.03  ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND ITS AFFILIATES.  With respect
to its Commitment, the Advances made by it and the Notes issued to it, the
Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this
Agreement as any other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not
the Administrative Agent.  The term "Bank" or "Banks" shall, unless
otherwise expressly indicated, include the Administrative Agent in its
individual capacity.  The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may
accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of,
and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Borrower or any of
its Subsidiaries, and any Person who may do business with or own securities
of the Borrower or any such Subsidiary, all as if the Administrative Agent
were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account
therefor to the Banks.

      SECTION 9.04  BANK CREDIT DECISION.  Each Bank acknowledges that it
has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or
any other Bank and based on the Parent's and the Borrower's financial
statements and the Parent's filings under the Exchange Act and such other
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit
analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each Bank also
acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent or any other Bank and based on such documents and
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its
own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement.

      SECTION 9.05  INDEMNIFICATION.  The Banks severally agree to
indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank (to the extent not
reimbursed by the Borrower), according to their respective Pro Rata Shares
from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of
any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or
asserted against the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank in any way
relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any action taken or omitted
by the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank under this Agreement or
any other Credit Document (including the Administrative Agent's or such
Issuing Bank's own negligence), provided that no Bank shall be liable for
any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from
the Administrative Agent's or such Issuing Bank's gross negligence or
willful misconduct.  Without limitation of the foregoing, each Bank agrees
to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its Pro Rata
Share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees)
incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation,
execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement
(whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal
advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or
any other Credit Document, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is
not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower.

      SECTION 9.06  SUCCESSOR ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND ISSUING BANKS.  The
Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank may resign at any time by giving
written notice thereof to the Banks and the Borrower and may be removed at
any time with cause by the Required Lenders upon receipt of written notice
from the Required Lenders to such effect. Upon receipt of notice of any
such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to
appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank acceptable to the
Borrower.  If no successor Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank shall have
been so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days
after the retiring Administrative Agent's or Issuing Bank's giving of
notice of resignation or the Required Lenders' removal of the retiring
Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank, then the retiring Administrative
Agent or Issuing Bank may, on behalf of the Banks and the Borrower, appoint
a successor Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank acceptable to the
Borrower, which shall be a commercial bank meeting the financial
requirements of an Eligible Assignee and, in the case of an Issuing Bank, a

<PAGE>

Bank.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent or
Issuing Bank by a successor Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank, such
successor Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank shall thereupon succeed to
and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
retiring Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank, and the retiring
Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank shall be discharged from its duties
and obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, except
that the retiring Issuing Bank shall remain an Issuing Bank with respect to
any Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank and outstanding on the
effective date of its resignation or removal and the provisions affecting
such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit shall inure to the
benefit of the retiring Issuing Bank until the termination of all such
Letters of Credit.  After any retiring Administrative Agent's or Issuing
Bank's resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent or Issuing
Bank, the provisions of this Article IX shall inure to its benefit as to
any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was such
Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other
Credit Documents.

address referred to in Section 10.02 a copy of each Assignment and
Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks and the Commitments of,

by the Borrower or any Bank at any reasonable time and from time to time
upon reasonable prior notice.

      (d)   PROCEDURES.  Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance

Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of the

Bank in an amount equal to, respectively, the Commitment and the

the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree
in writing to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information

Commitment), the Issuing Banks, and each affiliate thereof and their
respective directors, officers, employees and agents from, and discharge,
release, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all losses,
liabilities, claims or damages to which any of them may become subject,
insofar as such losses, liabilities, claims or damages arise out of or
result from (i) any actual or proposed use by the Borrower or any Affiliate
of the Borrower of the proceeds of any Advance, (ii) any breach by the
Borrower or any Guarantor of any provision of this Agreement or any other
Credit Document, (iii) any investigation, litigation or other proceeding

respective directors, officers, employees and agents, upon demand for any
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including legal fees) incurred in
connection with any such investigation, litigation or other proceeding; and
expressly including any such losses, liabilities, claims, damages, or
expense incurred by reason of the Person being indemnified's own
negligence, but excluding any such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or
expenses incurred by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of the Person to be indemnified.

      SECTION 10.08  EXECUTION IN COUNTERPARTS.  This Agreement may be
executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in
separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be
an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the
same agreement.

      SECTION 10.09  SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS, INDEMNIFICATIONS, ETC.
All representations, warranties contained in this Agreement or made in
writing by or on behalf of the Borrower in connection herewith shall
survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Credit
Documents, the making of the Advances and any investigation made by or on
behalf of the Banks, none of which investigations shall diminish any Bank's
right to rely on such representations and warranties.  All obligations of
the Borrower provided for in Sections 2.08, 2.09, 2.11(c), 9.05 and 10.07
shall survive any termination of this Agreement and repayment in full of
the Obligations.

      SECTION 10.10  SEVERABILITY.  In case one or more provisions of this
Agreement or the other Credit Documents  shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law, the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein or
therein shall not be affected or impaired thereby.

      SECTION 10.11  ENTIRE AGREEMENT.  This Agreement, the Notes and the
other Credit Documents constitute the entire understanding among the
parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede any
prior agreements, written or oral, with respect thereto.

<PAGE>

      SECTION 10.12  USURY NOT INTENDED.  It is the intent of the Borrower
and each Bank in the execution and performance of this Agreement and the
other Credit Documents to contract in strict compliance with applicable
usury laws, including conflicts of law concepts, governing the Advances of
each Bank including such applicable laws of the State of New York and the
United States of America from time to time in effect.  In furtherance
thereof, the Banks and the Borrower stipulate and agree that none of the
terms and provisions contained in this Agreement or the other Credit
Documents shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay, as
consideration for the use, forbearance or detention of money, interest at a
rate in excess of the Maximum Rate and that for purposes hereof "interest"
shall include the aggregate of all charges which constitute interest under
such laws that are contracted for, charged or received under this
Agreement; and in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, under any
circumstances the aggregate amounts taken, reserved, charged, received or
paid on the Advances, include amounts which by applicable law are deemed
interest which would exceed the Maximum Rate, then such excess shall be
deemed to be a mistake and each Bank receiving same shall credit the same
on the principal of its Notes (or if such Notes shall have been paid in
full, refund said excess to the Borrower).  In the event that the maturity
of the Notes is accelerated by reason of any election of the holder thereof
resulting from any Event of Default under this Agreement or otherwise, or
in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such
consideration that constitutes interest may never include more than the
Maximum Rate and excess interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement or
otherwise shall be canceled automatically as of the date of such
acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited on
the applicable Notes (or, if the applicable Notes shall have been paid in
full, refunded to the Borrower).  In determining whether or not the
interest paid or payable under any specific contingencies exceeds the
Maximum Rate, the Borrower and the Banks shall to the maximum extent
permitted under applicable law amortize, prorate, allocate and spread in
equal parts during the period of the full stated term of the Notes all
amounts considered to be interest under applicable law at any time
contracted for, charged, received or reserved in connection with the
Obligations.   The provisions of this Section shall control over all other
provisions of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents which may be in
apparent conflict herewith.

      SECTION 10.13  GOVERNING LAW.   ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN THE BORROWER, THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUING BANK, ANY BANK, OR ANY INDEMNITEE ARISING
OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP

OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS, AND WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, OR

CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT ANY

it may have by being owner of such stock, or other equity interest in, such
Person.

                    ENVIRONMENTAL INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

      This Environmental Indemnification Agreement (this "Agreement")  is
made and entered into effective for all purposes as of the 13th day of
November, 2000, by the parties signatory hereto or to an Accession
Agreement (as hereinafter defined) (collectively, the "Indemnitor" whether

                                 INTRODUCTION

      WHEREAS, this Agreement is given in connection with that certain
Second Amended and Restated Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement dated as of
even date as this Agreement ("Credit Agreement"), among LASALLE HOTEL
OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the

and the banks and other lenders party thereto (collectively the "Banks")
pursuant to which the Banks are making, subject to future advances, a loan
in an amount up to $200,000,000.00 (the "Loan") to Borrower as more
specifically described therein;

      WHEREAS, the Borrower and Subsidiaries of the Borrower now or
hereafter will own certain Hotel Properties which include without

collectively called the "Properties", and each a "Property");

      WHEREAS, the Borrower is the principal financing entity for capital
requirements of its Subsidiaries, and from time to time the Borrower has
made and will continue to make capital contributions and advances to its

benefit from the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement; and

      WHEREAS, the Banks have required the execution and delivery of this
Agreement as a condition precedent to the execution of the Credit

                                   AGREEMENT
                                   ---------

      NOW, THEREFORE, Indemnitor, as an inducement to the Banks to make the
Loan, hereby covenants and agrees to and for the benefit of the Banks as
follows:

      1.    DEFINED TERMS.  All terms used in this Agreement, but not
defined herein, shall have the meaning given such terms in the Credit
Agreement.

      2.    HAZARDOUS MATERIAL.  As used in this Agreement, the term
"Hazardous Materials" shall mean any flammable explosives, radioactive
materials, hazardous wastes, hazardous materials, hazardous or toxic
substances, or related materials as defined in the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended
(42 U.S.C. Section 9601 et. seq.), the Hazardous Materials Transportation
Act, as amended (49 U.S.C. Section 1801 et seq.), the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. Section 6901 et seq.), and in the
regulations adopted and publications promulgated pursuant thereto, and all
friable asbestos, petroleum derivatives, polychlorinated biphenyls, and
materials defined as hazardous materials under any federal, state or local
laws, ordinances, codes, rules, orders, regulations or policies governing
the use, storage, treatment, transportation, manufacture, refinement,
handling, production or disposal thereof (collectively, "Environmental
Laws").

      3.    REPRESENTATION.  Except as set forth in the Environmental
Reports, Indemnitor warrants and represents to the Banks that it has no
knowledge of (a) the presence of any Hazardous Materials on any of the
Properties except for Permitted Hazardous Substances; or (b) any material
spills, releases, discharges or disposal of Hazardous Materials that have
occurred or are presently occurring off any of the Properties as a result
of any construction on or operation and use of any of the Properties.  In
connection with the operation and use of any of the Properties, Indemnitor
warrants and represents that, as of the date of this Agreement, it has no
knowledge of any failure to comply in all material respects with all
applicable law, state and federal environmental laws, regulations,
ordinances and administrative and judicial orders relating to the
generation, recycling, reuse, sale, storage, handling, transport and
disposal of any Hazardous Materials other than as set forth in the
Environmental Reports.

      4.    COVENANT.  Indemnitor covenants and agrees not to cause or
permit the presence, use, generation, release, discharge, storage, disposal
or transportation of any Hazardous Materials on, under, in, about, to or
from any of the Properties except for Permitted Hazardous Substances.

      5.    INDEMNIFICATION.  Indemnitor shall exonerate, indemnify, pay
and protect, defend (with counsel approved pursuant to the Credit
Agreement) and save the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the
Documentation Agent, the Banks, and their respective directors, trustees,
beneficiaries, officers, shareholders, employees and agents of the Banks
(collectively, the "Indemnified Parties"), harmless from and against any
claims (including, without limitation, third party claims for personal
injury or real or personal property damage), actions, administrative
proceedings (including informal proceedings), judgments, damages, punitive
damages, penalties, fines, costs, taxes, assessments, liabilities
(including, without limitation, sums paid in settlements of claims),
interest or losses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses
(including, without limitation, any such reasonable fees and expenses
incurred in enforcing this Agreement or collecting any sums due hereunder),
consultant fees, and expert fees, together with all other reasonable costs
and expenses of any kind or nature (collectively, the "Costs") that arise
directly or indirectly in connection with the presence, suspected presence,
release or suspected release of any Hazardous Materials in or into the air,

<PAGE>

soil, ground water, surface water or improvements at, on, about, under or
within any of the Properties, or any portion thereof, or elsewhere in
connection with the transportation of Hazardous Materials to or from any of
the Properties (any such release being referred to herein as a "Release");
provided however that Indemnitor shall not be so liable for any Costs
arising because of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of an
Indemnified Party or Costs arising because of a Release from or on a
Property after the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent's
nominee acquires title to such Property.  INDEMNITOR'S OBLIGATION TO SO
INDEMNIFY THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES SHALL INCLUDE INDEMNIFICATION FOR ANY OF
SUCH MATTERS CAUSED IN WHOLE OR IN PART BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF ANY OF THE
INDEMNIFIED PARTIES.  The indemnification provided in this Section shall
specifically apply to and include claims or actions brought by or on behalf
of tenants or employees of Indemnitor; Indemnitor hereby expressly waives
(with respect to any claims of the Indemnified Parties arising under this
Agreement) any immunity to which Indemnitor may otherwise be entitled under
any industrial or worker's compensation laws.  In the event any of the
Indemnified Parties shall suffer or incur any such Costs, Indemnitor shall
pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Indemnified Party
the total of all such Costs suffered or incurred by such Indemnified Party
within ten (10) days after demand therefor, such payment to be disbursed by
the Administrative Agent in accordance with the Credit Agreement.  Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the indemnification provided by
this Section 5 shall specifically cover Costs, including, without
limitation, capital, operating and maintenance costs, incurred in
connection with any investigation or monitoring of site conditions, any
clean-up, containment, remedial, removal or restoration work required or
performed by any federal, state or local governmental agency or political
subdivision ("Governmental Agency") or performed by any non-governmental
entity or person as required or requested, by any Governmental Agency
because of the presence, suspected presence, release or suspected release
of any Hazardous Materials in or into the air, soil, groundwater, surface
water or improvements at, on, under or within any of the Properties (or any
portion thereof), or elsewhere in connection with the transportation of
Hazardous Materials to or from any of the Properties, and any claims of
third parties for loss or damage due to such Hazardous Materials.

      6.    REMEDIAL WORK.  In the event any investigation or monitoring of
site conditions or any clean-up, containment, restoration, removal or other
remedial work ("Remedial Work") is required (a) under any Environmental
Law, (b) by any judicial, arbitral or administrative order, (c) in order to
comply with any agreements affecting any of the Properties, or (d) to
maintain any of the Properties in a standard of environmental condition
which prevents the release or generation of any Hazardous Materials except
for Permitted Hazardous Substances, Indemnitor shall perform or cause to be
performed such Remedial Work; provided, that Indemnitor may withhold
commencement of such Remedial Work pending resolution of any good faith
contest regarding the application, interpretation or validity of any law,
regulation, order or agreement, subject to the requirements of Section 7
below.  All Remedial Work shall be conducted (i) in a diligent and timely
fashion by a licensed environmental engineer, (ii) pursuant to a detailed
written plan for the Remedial Work approved by any Governmental Agency with
a legal or contractual right to such approval, (iii) with such insurance
coverage pertaining to liabilities arising out of the Remedial Work as is
then customarily maintained with respect to such activities and (iv) only
following receipt of all required permits, licenses or approvals.  In
addition, Indemnitor shall submit to the Banks promptly upon receipt or
preparation, copies of any and all reports, studies, analyses,
correspondence, governmental comments or approvals, proposed removal or
other Remedial Work contracts and similar information prepared or received
by Indemnitor in connection with any Remedial Work or Hazardous Materials
relating to any of the Properties.  All costs and expenses of such Remedial
Work shall be paid by Indemnitor, including, without limitation, the
charges of the Remedial Work contractors and the consulting environmental
engineer, any taxes or penalties assessed in connection with the Remedial
Work and the Banks' reasonable fees and costs incurred in connection with
monitoring or review of such Remedial Work.  In the event Indemnitor should

<PAGE>

fail to commence or cause to be commenced such Remedial Work, in a timely
fashion, or fail diligently to prosecute to completion, such Remedial Work,
the Administrative Agent following consent of the Required Lenders
(following thirty (30) days written notice to Indemnitor) may, but shall
not be required to, cause such Remedial Work to be performed, and all costs
and expenses thereof, or incurred in connection therewith shall be Costs
within the meaning of Section 5 above.  All such Costs shall be due and
payable to the Administrative Agent by Indemnitor upon thirty (30) days
after demand therefor, such payments to be disbursed by the Administrative
Agent in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

      7.    PERMITTED CONTESTS.  Notwithstanding any provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, Indemnitor may contest by appropriate action any
Remedial Work requirement imposed by any Governmental Agency  or similar
agency provided that (a) Indemnitor has given the Banks written notice that
Indemnitor is contesting or shall contest and Indemnitor does in fact
contest the application, interpretation or validity of the law, regulation,
order or agreement pertaining to the Remedial Work by appropriate legal or
administrative proceedings conducted in good faith and with due diligence
and dispatch, (b) such contest shall not subject any of the Indemnified
Parties nor any assignee of all or any portion of the Banks' interest in
the Loan nor any of the Properties to civil or criminal liability and does
not jeopardize any such party's lien upon or interest in any of the
Properties and (c) if the estimated cost of the Remedial Work is greater
than $1,000,000, Indemnitor shall give such security or assurances as may
be reasonably required by the Banks as determined pursuant to the Credit
Agreement to ensure ultimate compliance with all legal or contractual
requirements pertaining to the Remedial Work (and payment of all costs,
expenses, interest and penalties in connection therewith) and to prevent
any sale, forfeiture or loss by reason of nonpayment or non-compliance.

      8.    REPORTS AND CLAIMS.  Indemnitor shall deliver to the Banks
copies of any reports, analyses, correspondence, notices, licenses,
approvals, orders or other written materials relating to the environmental
condition of any of the Properties promptly upon receipt, completion or
delivery thereof.  Indemnitor shall give notice to the Banks of any claim,
action, administrative proceeding (including, without limitation, informal
proceedings) or other demand by any governmental agency or other third
party involving Costs or Remedial Action at the time such claim or other
demand first becomes known to Indemnitor.  Receipt of any such notice shall
not be deemed to create any obligation on the Banks to defend or otherwise
respond to any claim or demand.  All notices, approvals, consents, requests
and demands upon the respective parties hereto shall be in writing,
including telegraphic communication and delivered or teletransmitted to the
Administrative Agent, as set forth in the Credit Agreement and to each
Indemnitor, at the address set forth beneath such Indemnitor's signature or
in the Accession Agreement executed by such Indemnitor, or to such other
address as shall be designated by any Indemnitor or the Administrative
Agent in written notice to the other parties.  All such notices and other
communications shall be effective when delivered or teletransmitted to the
above addresses.

      9.    BANKS AS OWNER.  If for any reason, the Administrative Agent or
any of the Banks (or any successor or assign of such parties) becomes the
fee owner of any of the Properties and any claim, action, notice,
administrative proceeding (including, without limitation, informal
proceedings) or other demand is made by any governmental agency or other
third party which implicate Costs or Remedial Work, Indemnitor shall
cooperate with such party in any defense or other appropriate response to
any such claim or other demand; provided however that Indemnitor shall not
be so liable for any Costs arising because of the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of an Indemnified Party.  Indemnitor's duty to cooperate
and right to participate in the defense or response to any such claim or
demand shall not be deemed to limit or otherwise modify Indemnitor's
obligations under this Agreement.  Any party subject to a claim or other
proceeding referenced in the first sentence of this Section 9 shall give
notice to Indemnitor of any claim or demand governed by this Section 9 at
the time such claim or other demand first becomes known to such party.

<PAGE>

      10.   SUBROGATION OF INDEMNITY RIGHTS.  If Indemnitor fails to fully
perform its obligations under Sections 5 and 6 above, the Indemnified
Parties shall be subrogated to any rights or claims Indemnitor may have
against any present, future or former owners, tenants or other occupants or
users of any of the Properties, any portion thereof or any adjacent or
proximate properties, relating to the recovery of Costs or the performance
of Remedial Work.

      11.   ASSIGNMENT BY AGENTS AND BANKS.  No consent by Indemnitor shall
be required for any assignment or reassignment of the rights of the
Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agent or the
Banks under this Agreement to any successor of such party or a purchaser of
the Loan or any interest in or portion of the Loan including participation
interests in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

      12.   MERGER, CONSOLIDATION OR SALE OF ASSETS.  In the event
Indemnitor is dissolved, liquidated or terminated or all or substantially
all the assets of Indemnitor are sold or otherwise transferred to one or
more persons or other entities, the surviving entity or transferee of
assets, as the case may be, (i) shall be formed and existing under the laws
of a state, (ii) shall deliver to the Banks an acknowledged instrument in
recordable form assuming all obligations, covenants and responsibilities of
Indemnitor under this Agreement.

      13.   INDEPENDENT OBLIGATIONS; SURVIVAL.  The obligations of
Indemnitor under this Agreement shall survive the consummation of the Loan
transaction described above and the repayment of the Loan.  The obligations
of Indemnitor under this Agreement are separate and distinct from the
obligations of Indemnitor under the Credit Documents.  This Agreement may
be enforced by the Banks without regard to or affecting any rights and
remedies the Administrative Agent and/or the Banks may have against
Indemnitor under the Credit Documents and without regard to any limitations
on the Administrative Agent's or Banks' recourse for recovery of the Loan
as may be provided in the Credit Documents.  Enforcement of this Agreement
is not and shall not be deemed to constitute an action for recovery of the
indebtedness of the Loan.

      14.   DEFAULT INTEREST.  In addition to all other rights and remedies
of the Banks against Indemnitor as provided herein, or under applicable
law, Indemnitor shall pay to the Administrative Agent, immediately upon
demand therefor, Default Interest (as defined below) on any Costs and other
payments required to be paid by Indemnitor to the Banks under this
Agreement which are not paid within ten (10) days after demand therefor,
such payments to be disbursed by the Administrative Agent in accordance
with the Credit Agreement.  Default Interest shall be paid by Indemnitor
from the date such payment becomes delinquent through and including the
date of payment of such delinquent sums.  "Default Interest" shall mean a
per annum interest rate equal to three percent (3%) above the Adjusted Base
Rate or reference rate for the then current calendar month, as of the first
day of such calendar month, which is publicly announced from time to time
by the Administrative Agent.

      15.   CONTRIBUTION.  As a result of the transactions contemplated by
the Credit Agreement, each of the Indemnitors will benefit, directly and
indirectly, from the Obligations and in consideration thereof desire to
enter into a contribution agreement among themselves as set forth in this
Section 15 to allocate such benefits among themselves and to provide a fair
and equitable arrangement to make contributions in the event any payment is
made by any Indemnitor hereunder to the Administrative Agent, the
Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agent or the Banks (such payment being
referred to herein as a "Contribution," and for purposes of this Agreement,
includes any exercise of recourse by the Administrative Agent against any
Property of a Contributor and application of proceeds of the sale of such
Property in satisfaction of such Indemnitor's obligations under this
Agreement).  The Indemnitors hereby agree as follows:

<PAGE>

            15.1. CALCULATION OF CONTRIBUTION.  In order to provide for
just and equitable contribution among the Indemnitors in the event any
Contribution is made by an Indemnitor (a "Funding Indemnitor"), such
Funding Indemnitor shall be entitled to a contribution from certain other
Indemnitors for all payments, damages and expenses incurred by that Funding
Indemnitor in discharging any of the obligations under this Agreement (the
"Obligations"), in the manner and to the extent set forth in this Section.
The amount of any Contribution under this Agreement shall be equal to the
payment made by the Funding Indemnitor to the Administrative Agent or any
other beneficiary pursuant to this Agreement and shall be determined as of
the date on which such payment is made.

            15.2. BENEFIT AMOUNT DEFINED.  For purposes of this Agreement,
the "Benefit Amount" of any Indemnitor as of any date of determination
shall be the net value of the benefits to such Indemnitor and all of its
Subsidiaries (including any Subsidiaries which may be Indemnitors) from
extensions of credit made by the Banks to the Borrower under the Credit
Agreement; provided, that in determining the contribution liability of any
Indemnitor which is a Subsidiary to its direct or indirect parent
corporation or of any Indemnitor to its direct or indirect Subsidiary, the
Benefit Amount of such Subsidiary and its Subsidiaries, if any, shall be
subtracted in determining the Benefit Amount of the parent corporation.
Such benefits shall include benefits of funds constituting proceeds of
Advances made to the Borrower by the Banks which are in turn advanced or
contributed by the Borrower to such Indemnitor or its Subsidiaries and
benefits of Letters of Credit issued pursuant to the Credit Agreement on
behalf of, or the proceeds of which are advanced or contributed or
otherwise benefit, directly or indirectly, such Indemnitor and its
Subsidiaries (collectively, the "Benefits").  In the case of any proceeds
of Advances or Benefits advanced or contributed to a Person (an "Owned
Entity") any of the equity interests of which are owned directly or
indirectly by an Indemnitor, the Benefit Amount of an Indemnitor with
respect thereto shall be that portion of the net value of the benefits
attributable to Advances or Benefits equal to the direct or indirect
percentage ownership of such Indemnitor in its Owned Entity.

            15.3. CONTRIBUTION OBLIGATION.  Each Indemnitor shall be liable
to a Funding Indemnitor in an amount equal to the greater of (A) the (i)
ratio of the Benefit Amount of such Indemnitor to the total amount of
Obligations, multiplied by (ii) the amount of Obligations paid by such
Funding Indemnitor and (B) 95% of the excess of the fair saleable value of
the property of such Indemnitor over the total liabilities of such
Indemnitor (including the maximum amount reasonably expected to become due
in respect of contingent liabilities) determined as of the date on which
the payment made by a Funding Indemnitor is deemed made for purposes of
this Agreement (giving effect to all payments made by other Funding
Indemnitors as of such date in a manner to maximize the amount of such
contributions).

            15.4. ALLOCATION.  In the event that at any time there exists
more than one Funding Indemnitor with respect to any Contribution (in any
such case, the "Applicable Contribution"), then payment from other
Indemnitors pursuant to this Agreement shall be allocated among such
Funding Indemnitors in proportion to the total amount of the Contribution
made for or on account of the Borrower by each such Funding Indemnitor
pursuant to the Applicable Contribution.  In the event that at any time any
Indemnitor pays an amount under this Agreement in excess of the amount
calculated pursuant to clause (A) of Subsection 15.3 above, that Indemnitor
shall be deemed to be a Funding Indemnitor to the extent of such excess and
shall be entitled to contribution from the other Indemnitors in accordance
with the provisions of this Section.

<PAGE>

            15.5. SUBSIDIARY PAYMENT.  The amount of contribution payable
under this Section by any Indemnitor shall be reduced by the amount of any
contribution paid hereunder by a Subsidiary of such Indemnitor.

            15.6. EQUITABLE ALLOCATION.  If as a result of any
reorganization, recapitalization, or other corporate change in the Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries, or as a result of any amendment, waiver or
modification of the terms and conditions of other Sections of this
Agreement or the Obligations, or for any other reason, the contributions
under this Section become inequitable as among the Indemnitors, the
Indemnitors shall promptly modify and amend this Section to provide for an
equitable allocation of contributions.  Any of the foregoing modifications
and amendments shall be in writing and signed by all Indemnitors.

            15.7. ASSET OF PARTY TO WHICH CONTRIBUTION IS OWING.  The
Indemnitors acknowledge that the right to contribution hereunder shall
constitute an asset in favor of the Indemnitor to which such contribution
is owing.

            15.8. SUBORDINATION.  No payments payable by an Indemnitor
pursuant to the terms of this Section 15 shall be paid until all amounts
then due and payable by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, the
Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agent, or any Bank, pursuant to the
terms of the Credit Documents, are paid in full in cash.  Nothing contained
in this Section 15 shall affect the obligations of any Indemnitor to the
Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agent, or
any Bank under the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Documents.

      16.   MISCELLANEOUS.  If there shall be more than one Indemnitor
hereunder, or pursuant to any other indemnification of Banks relating to
Hazardous Materials arising out of or in connection with the Loan ("Other
Indemnitor"), each Indemnitor and Other Indemnitor agrees that (a) the
obligations of the Indemnitor hereunder, and each Other Indemnitor, are
joint and several, (b) a release of any one or more Indemnitors or Other
Indemnitors or any limitation of this Agreement in favor of or for the
benefit of one or more Indemnitors or Other Indemnitors shall not in any
way be deemed a release of or limitation in favor of or for the benefit of
any other Indemnitor or Other Indemnitor and (c) a separate action
hereunder may be brought and prosecuted against any or all Indemnitors or
Other Indemnitors.  If any term of this Agreement or any application
thereof shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remainder of this
Agreement and any other application of such term shall not be affected
thereby.  No delay or omission in exercising any right hereunder shall
operate as a waiver of such right or any other right.  This Agreement shall
be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Indemnitor
and the Banks, and their respective successors and assigns, including
(without limitation) any assignee or purchaser of all or any portion of the
Banks' interest in (i) the Loan, (ii) the Credit Documents, or (iii) any of
the Properties.

      17.   GOVERNING LAW.  ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN THE INDEMNITOR,  ANY AGENT,
ANY BANK, OR ANY INDEMNITEE ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR
INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED BETWEEN THEM IN CONNECTION WITH,
THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS, AND WHETHER ARISING IN
CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL BE RESOLVED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE INTERNAL LAWS (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, SECTION 5-1401 OF THE
GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW, BUT OTHERWISE WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF
LAWS PROVISIONS) OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
