         NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of the  foregoing  and the  mutual
representations,  warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, and for
other good and valuable  consideration,  the receipt and sufficiency of which is
hereby acknowledged, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the parties
intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

         Section 1.        Brand Royalty Sharing Payments.
                           ------------------------------

         (a) With respect to all Brand  Royalties (as defined below) received by
the Cendant Parties, Cendant shall pay to API an amount equal to [ECONOMIC TERMS
OMITTED] of such Brand Royalties (subject to Section 2 below). Payments of Brand
Royalties to API pursuant  hereto shall be made on a monthly basis within thirty
(30) days  after  the end of (i) the  calendar  month in which an  amount  first
becomes owing under this Section 1(a) and (ii) each calendar  month  thereafter.
Notwithstanding  anything  set  forth  herein to the  contrary,  for a period of
twenty four months from the date hereof, any facility operating under any of the
then-current  proprietary brands of Cendant or its subsidiaries which coverts to
one of the Brands shall be excluded from the  calculation of Brand Royalties for
the remainder of the term of this Agreement.

         (b) For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall mean:

         (i) "Brand  Royalties." For a particular  period,  the royalty revenues
(calculated  as a share of Gross Room Revenues (as defined  below))  received by
the  Cendant  Parties  for all hotels  operating  under any of the Brands or any
other brands incorporating the "AmeriHost" name or any derivation thereof during
such period.  Brand  Royalties shall not include fees received for marketing and
reservation services.

without   limitation  the  net  proceeds  of  use  and  occupancy  and  business
interruption,  rent loss or similar  insurance  with  respect to such  facility;
provided however that insurance proceeds shall be included in Gross Room Revenue
only when and to the extent actually received,  and for purposes of this Section
1, shall not exceed the amount of gross  receipts  reasonably  estimated to have
been lost as a result  of the event  that  gave  rise to  payment  of  insurance
proceeds. Gross Room Revenue shall not include Federal, state and local taxes or
fees  collected  by the  franchisee  of such  facility  for  transmittal  to the
appropriate taxing authority.

         Section 2.  Development  and  Collection  Efforts;  Rights of  Set-Off.
Cendant  shall  utilize  commercially  reasonable  efforts  (i)  to  pursue  the
development  of the Brands,  provided  that  Cendant  shall not be  obligated to
pursue  development of the AmeriHost Inn & SuitesSM Brand and (ii) to collect on
a timely basis all Brand Royalties due and owing.  Amounts collected shall first
be allocated to reimburse the costs of collection,  then to reimburse  marketing
and  reservation  fees and  commissions  paid to third  parties on behalf of the
account debtor, then to Brand Royalties. Cendant shall have the right to set-off
against  amounts due API  pursuant  hereto the  obligations  of API to repay any
Repayment  Amounts (as defined in the  Development  Agreement) due to Cendant or
its subsidiaries  pursuant to the Development  Agreement among Cendant,  API and
others, dated the date hereof (the "Development Agreement).

         Section 3. Reports. With each payment made pursuant to Section 1 above,
Cendant shall deliver to API a report  detailing the calculation of such payment
made by Cendant for the period in question. Cendant shall cause each such report
to be certified by Cendant's  chief  financial  officer (or such other corporate
officer as Cendant may designate) as being true, correct, and complete.

         Section  4.  Withholding.  If a payment  due under  this  Agreement  is
subject to withholding or other income taxes under applicable legal requirements
or U.S. laws, the  withholding  party shall promptly  deliver to the other party
receipts of tax authorities or other suitable  documentation  for all taxes paid
or withheld. The withholding party shall take all reasonable steps to assist the
other  party in  obtaining  any tax credit  which may be due to such other party
with respect to any withholding taxes.

         Section 5.  Records  and Audit.  Cendant  shall keep true and  accurate
books of account and shall keep and maintain all records,  documents,  and other
instruments relating to Brand Royalties (the "Cendant Material Records") in such
detail as to enable API to ascertain the amounts due under this  Agreement.  API
may  designate a firm of certified  or charted  public  accountants,  reasonably
acceptable to Cendant, for the purpose of auditing the Cendant Material Records.
During the Term and for a period of one hundred  eighty (180) days after the end
of the Term,  such  accountants  may audit the Cendant  Material  Records during
Cendant's normal business hours upon prior written notice to Cendant.  API shall
pay for the cost of the audit unless Cendant has, in its reports submitted under
Section 3 above,  understated by more than five

                                       2
<PAGE>

percent  (5%) the amounts  payable to API  pursuant  to Section 1 above.  In the
event  of such an  understatement,  Cendant  shall  pay  for  such  accountants'
reasonable audit costs.

         Section 6.        Brand Merger; Dispute Resolution.
                           --------------------------------

         (a) In the event that  Cendant  intends to merge any of the Brands with
any of the then-current  proprietary  brands of Cendant or its subsidiaries (the
"Brand  Merger"),  Cendant shall provide API with written notice of such intent.
Cendant  and API  shall  negotiate  in good  faith  in order  to  determine  the
appropriate  percentage  of  royalties  to be paid to API with  respect  to such
merged brand.  If Cendant and API are unable to agree as to such revised royalty
payment,  then the dispute shall be settled,  prior to the implementation of any
Brand Merger, by arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules
of the  American  Arbitration  Association  then in effect,  except as  modified
herein (the  "Rules").  The  arbitration  shall be held,  and the award shall be
issued in the State of Delaware.

         (b) There  shall be one  neutral  arbitrator.  The  parties  shall have
thirty (30) days from the receipt by the respondent of the notice of arbitration
to agree on an arbitrator.  If the  arbitrator is not appointed  within the time
limit  provided  herein,  such  arbitrator  shall be  appointed  by the American
Arbitration  Association  by using a list  striking  and  ranking  procedure  in
accordance  with the  Rules.  Any  arbitrator  appointed  by the AAA  shall be a
retired  judge or a  practicing  attorney  with no less  than  fifteen  years of
experience and an experienced arbitrator.

         (c) The  hearing  shall be held,  if  possible,  no later than four (4)
months after the appointment of the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall be required
to follow the law of the state designated by the parties herein.

         (d) Within thirty days after the close of the arbitration  hearing, the
arbitrator  shall  issue  a  provisional  award   ("Provisional   Award").   The
Provisional Award shall be a reasoned award stating the findings and conclusions
on which it is based.  At the sole election of Cendant,  which  election must be
made  within  thirty 30 days of receipt by Cendant of a copy of the  Provisional
Award,  Cendant,  by notice to API and the  arbitrator  in writing  ("Notice  of
Non-Merger") may elect not to go forward with the Brand Merger.  If Cendant does
not timely give Notice of Non-Merger, the Provisional Award shall become a final
award  (the  "Default  Final  Award").  In  the  event  of a  timely  Notice  of
Non-Merger, all the costs of the arbitration, including the reasonable costs and
attorneys'  fees of API (the  "Costs"),  shall be paid by  Cendant.  If  Cendant
timely gives  Notice of  Non-Merger,  API shall submit  evidence of Costs to the
arbitrator and the arbitrator shall enter a final award (the  "Non-Merger  Final
Award")  providing  that (i) the Costs  shall be paid by  Cendant  and (ii) that
Cendant has the sole and  exclusive  right to  determine  to go forward with the
Brand  Merger at any time after the  issuance  of the  Non-Merger  Final  Award;
provided,  however,  that (x) Cendant must so notify API prior to implementation
of the Brand  Merger;  (y) if Cendant  notifies  API of its intent to go forward
with the Brand Merger within one year of the date of issuance of the  Non-Merger
Final  Award,

                                       3
<PAGE>

Cendant and API shall be bound by the terms of the Provisional  Award as a final
award and (z) if Cendant  notifies  API more than one year after the issuance of
the Non-Merger Final Award, then Cendant and API shall utilize this Section 6 to
settle any subsequent dispute regarding royalties due to API following the Brand
Merger.  Any final award shall be binding on the parties and  judgment  upon any
final award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

         Section  7.  Term.  Except  as  otherwise  specified,  the term of this
agreement  (the  "Term")  begins on the date of this  Agreement  and ends on the
twenty-five (25) year anniversary of the date hereof. None of the parties hereto

Equity  Owner or Approved  Equity  Owner.  Each  Facility  Owner must be (i) the
holder  of fee  simple  title to the  location  and the  improvements  where the
Facility will be  constructed,  (ii) in the case of land developed  through land
trusts, the trust  beneficiary,  or (iii) a long term (at least 20 years) ground

2.4 Prior to Franchisor's  establishment of an official association of AmeriHost
franchisees (the "Association"), API shall, and shall cause its subsidiaries and
affiliates  to, and shall use  commercially  reasonable  efforts to persuade its
joint venture  partners in API Facilities,  Qualified Entity Owners and Approved
Entity  Owners to, vote in favor of any  amendments  to the System and to modify
the  fee  structure  of the  Chain  to  provide  for a  combined  marketing  and
reservation  fee in the form of a system  assessment  fee,  as  provided  in the
attached Franchise Agreement,  calculated as [ECONOMIC TERMS OMITTED],  proposed
by the  Franchisor  on behalf of each API Facility and  Additional  API Facility
owned or managed by API or its  subsidiaries  or  affiliates on the date of such
vote. Following establishment of the Association, API shall, and shall cause its
subsidiaries  and  affiliates to, deliver to the Franchisor its proxy to vote on
behalf of each API  Facility  and  Additional  API Facility in favor of any such
amendments;  provided,  however, that if there is no Association, or the by-laws
of the Association do not provide for voting by proxy, then API shall, and shall
cause its  subsidiaries  and affiliates to, vote in favor of such  amendments to
the  System  proposed  by the  Franchisor  on  behalf of each API  Facility  and
Additional  API  Facility  owned  or  managed  by  API or  its  subsidiaries  or
affiliates on the date of such vote.  Notwithstanding anything set forth in this
Section  2.4  to  the  contrary,  the  Franchisor  shall  consult  with  API  in
formulation  of any proposed  amendment  to the System  provide API with written
notice of the proposed amendment not later than ten (10) days before the date of
the vote and a reasonable opportunity to comment upon the proposed amendment.

3.       DEVELOPMENT OF ADDITIONAL API FACILITIES.

3.1 Developer may develop a new  construction  guest  lodging  facility  meeting
Brand  Standards or convert an existing  guest  lodging  facility open less than
three years that will, after renovations and refurbishment, meet Brand Standards
(each, an "Additional  API  Facility").  Developer will submit an application to
Franchisor using  Franchisor's  standard form application which will be supplied
upon request. Each application will propose the development of a facility having
at least 60 guest rooms.  Franchisor will determine whether a Facility for which
an  application  is  submitted  potentially  encroaches  upon an existing  Brand
Facility that is open or under

conversion or development in its sole discretion. Each application must include,
before final approval by the Franchisor,  a legal description of the location of
the  Facility.  Franchisor  will  inspect any proposed  conversion  Facility and
prepare a Punch List of necessary and recommended improvements to be attached to
the  Franchise  Agreement  and  deliver  the same to  Developer  with or  before
delivery of the definitive Franchise Agreement.

3.2 The Franchisor  will prepare the Franchise  Agreement in  substantially  the
form  attached  as  Exhibit  A, plus its then  standard  Software  and  Services
Agreement,  Integrated  System Agreement and Declaration of Franchise  Agreement
for each  Additional  API Facility,  which  agreement  shall include the special
stipulations  set forth in  Section  18 thereof  (collectively,  the  "Franchise
Package").  The Operator  will be the  "Franchisee"  under each  Agreement.  The
Franchise  Agreement  to be  signed by an  Operator  must be  guaranteed  by API
("Guarantor") under the form of guaranty provided by Franchisor.

3.3 Each Facility must be constructed or renovated and equipped according to its
Brand  Standards.  Each new  construction  building  may  utilize the same basic
design and appearance for all Brands, subject to any variation for Brand signage
and any variation in Brand  Standards  for equipping  each guest room and public
areas. All guest rooms must have at least 288 square feet.

3.4 An Operator shall pay [ECONOMIC  TERMS  OMITTED] for a Franchise  Agreement.
The Relicense Fee shall be [ECONOMIC  TERMS  OMITTED]  payable in the event of a
Transfer of the Franchise Agreement,  unless Franchisor shall determine that the
prospective  transferee has a history of late payments of amounts due Cendant or
any of its affiliates,  in which case the Franchisor  shall notify API within 30
days of receipt of such  transfer  application.  In such event,  Franchisor  may
charge a Relicense Fee greater than  [ECONOMIC  TERMS  OMITTED] and shall divide
the  amount of any such  Relicense  Fee in excess of  [ECONOMIC  TERMS  OMITTED]
equally between API and the Franchisor.

3.5 A lodging  facility  operated under a franchise or license  agreement with a
Cendant  affiliate  other than  Franchisor is not eligible to convert to a Brand
Facility.

3.6  Franchisor  may  substitute  its current  form of Franchise  Agreement  for
Exhibit A as and when it may modify the form in its franchise offering circular,
provided that the modifications set forth in Section 18 shall carry forward into
all subsequent forms of Franchise Agreement to be used with API Facilities so as
to be consistent with this Agreement.

4.       FACILITY TRANSFERS.

4.1 An API  Facility  or an  Additional  API  Facility  may  be  conveyed  to an
Unaffiliated  Third Party  reasonably  acceptable to  Franchisor  subject to the
following conditions, payments and procedures. The Operator must give Franchisor
at least 45 days prior written  notice of its intent to Transfer such  facility,
and include with such notice the identity,  contact name, address, telephone and
fax  numbers  of the  proposed  transferee.  Franchisor  will send the  proposed
transferee its current franchise offering circular,  franchise application and a
proposed form of assignment and assumption agreement,  with the proposed form of
Release Addendum and repayment  obligation as contemplated below. Within 10 days
after Franchisor's  receipt of the completed franchise  application,  Franchisor
will notify the Operator and the proposed  transferee if Franchisor  approves or
disapproves  the  applicant.   Franchisor  will  not  unreasonably  withhold  or
condition its approval.

4.2 If the Franchise  Agreement for the API Facility or Additional  API Facility
(as  applicable)  is not then in good  standing  because of a monetary,  quality
assurance,  insurance or other  material  default,  the  Operator  must cure the
default before closing or submit a plan endorsed by the transferee acceptable to
Franchisor for post-closing cure.

4.3 (a) For each API Facility and Additional API Facility that is the subject of
a Transfer  compliant  with the  Franchise  Agreement  and this  Agreement to an
approved  Unaffiliated  Third Party applicant (each, a "Transferred  Facility"),
Cendant or Franchisor  shall pay to the Operator of the Transferred  Facility an
amount (the "Incremental Fee") equal to:

                  (i) for each  Transferred  Facility which has been operational
         for a  period  of less  than  18  months  from  the  effective  date of
         transfer,  an amount  equal to [ECONOMIC TERMS OMITTED]; and

                  (ii) for each Transferred  Facility which has been operational
         for a period of  eighteen  months or more  from the  effective  date of
         transfer an amount in cash equal to [ECONOMIC TERMS OMITTED].

         (b) Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, for each
year of the term hereof,  Cendant shall be required to pay the  Incremental  Fee
with  respect  to each  Transfer  made in  accordance  with the terms of Section
4.3(a) above up to a maximum  equal to the sum of (i) eight plus (ii) the number
of  Additional  API  Facilities  opened  by  Developer  in  accordance  with its
Franchise  Agreement during such period  (collectively,  the "Annual  Maximum");
provided  however  that with respect to the first twenty four months of the term
hereof,  the  aggregate  Annual  Maximum shall equal the sum of (x) sixteen (16)
plus (y) the  number  of  Additional  API  Facilities  opened  by  Developer  in
accordance with their  respective  Franchise  Agreement  during such twenty four
month period;  provided further that if API fails to transfer the Annual Maximum
in any one year,  then the  remainder  shall be included in the  following  year
Annual Maximum.  By way of example,  if in 2001, API opens an aggregate of seven
Additional  API  Facilities,  then the Annual Maximum for 2001 would be fifteen.
If, however, API effects transfers on only five Transferred  Facilities in

         CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED FOR PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT

                                       5
<PAGE>

2001,  then the  Annual  Maximum  for  2002  would  include  an  additional  ten
facilities (the remainder of the 2001 Annual Maximum).  Notwithstanding anything
set forth herein to the contrary,  Cendant's  obligation to pay Incremental Fees
with respect to the transfer of API  Facilities or Additional  API Facilities in
accordance with this Section 4 shall terminate following payment with respect to
the three hundred seventieth (370th) facility transferred during the term hereof
(the  "Term  Maximum"),  although  Cendant  shall  have the  right  (but not the
obligation) to pay the Incremental Fee with respect to properties transferred in
excess of any Annual Maximum or the Term Maximum.

         (c) The Incremental Fee Payment shall be made within twenty days of the
later of (i) the date of the duly executed Franchise Agreement of the transferee
of such  Transferred  Facility  with  Franchisor  and (ii) the date on which the
Operator provides Franchisor with a conformed copy of the warranty deed or other
instrument  of  conveyance  as  filed  for  recording  with the  official  title
registrar for the jurisdiction where the Transferred Facility is located.

         (d) [ECONOMIC TERMS OMITTED].

5.       COMPETITION COVENANT.

5.1 Each of API, AIFI, AMI and ADI understands that the  restrictions  contained
in this  Section 5 are  reasonable  and  necessary  to  protect  the  legitimate
interests of the Franchisor and that the Franchisor  would not have entered into
this Agreement absent the provisions of this Section 5 and, therefore:

(a)      for the term of this  Agreement,  neither API, AIFI, AMI nor ADI shall,
         and shall cause each of its Related  Parties (as defined below) not to,
         directly or indirectly:

                           (i)     establish,  develop or sell franchises of any

                           (ii) develop,  for any  Unaffiliated  Third Party, in
                  excess of five (5) hotel, motel or resort facilities  annually
                  which  operate  under any  proprietary  brand  other  than the
                  Brands (determined based on the dates of relevant construction
                  starts);  provided however that API only shall be permitted to
                  develop up to (A) three such  facilities  in the twelve  month
                  period following the Closing (as defined in the Asset Purchase
                  Agreement)  and (B) four such  facilities  in the  thirteen to
                  twenty four month period following the Closing,

                           (iii)  develop,  own or operate,  on behalf of API or
                  any of its subsidiaries or affiliates,  any newly  constructed
                  hotel,  motel or resort  facilities  which  operate  under any
                  proprietary brand other than the Brands or any of then-current
                  proprietary  brands of Cendant or its subsidiaries;  provided,
                  however,  that in the event that  Cendant  sells,  transfer or
                  conveys  to a  non-affiliate  third  party in  excess of fifty
                  percent (50%) of its interests in Wingate Inns  International,
                  Inc.,  then up to fifty (50%) of all new facilities  developed
                  by API and its subsidiaries and affiliates  following the date
                  of such sale,  transfer or  conveyance  may be  developed  for
                  operation under any proprietary brand,

                  applicable),  on behalf of API or any of its  subsidiaries  or
                  affiliates, (A) any existing hotel, motel or resort facilities
                  which  operate  under any  proprietary  brand  other  than the

                  management  of  hotel,  motel  or  resort  facilities  or  (C)
                  contracts relating to the management of hotel, motel or resort
                  facilities;  provided however that the foregoing  prohibitions
                  shall not apply so long as the aggregate  funds  expended from
                  the date hereof  through any  subsequent  date during the term
                  hereof (each, a  "Measurement  Period") by or on behalf of API
                  (through third party financing, issuance of the debt of API or
                  its  subsidiaries or affiliates or otherwise) (the "Funds") in
                  conducting the activities set forth in this Section 5.1(a)(iv)
                  shall not exceed,  twenty  percent (20%) of the sum of (1) the
                  Funds  expended by or on behalf of API in the  development  of
                  new  facilities  which  operate  under the Brands  during such
                  Measurement  Period and (2) the Funds expended by or on behalf

                  5.1(a)(iv)  during such Measurement  Period;  provided further
                  that  any  such  existing  hotel,  motel  or  resort  facility
                  acquired by API or any of its  subsidiaries  or  affiliates in
                  compliance  with the  preceding  proviso shall be converted to
                  one of the proprietary  brands of Cendant or its  subsidiaries
                  promptly upon purchase, or

                           (v) assisting any person in any way to do, or attempt
                  to do, anything  prohibited by clauses (i) through (iv) above;

         Facility  for which API  receives a  Incremental  Payment  pursuant  to
         Section  4.3,  for a period of seventy six months from the payment date
         of such  Incremental  Payment,  API  shall  not,  and  shall  cause its
         subsidiaries and affiliates not to, own,  manage,  lease or operate any

         Facilities  listed on  Exhibit  B-1 unless it is  franchised  under the
         program  contemplated by this Agreement,  or under a separate Franchise
         or  License  Agreement  with a  Franchisor  or  another  subsidiary  of
         Cendant; and

                  (c) for a period of one year after the Franchise Agreement for
         any  Additional API Facility  terminates  because the Operator does not
         commence or complete construction of the Additional API Facility,  own,
         manage,  lease  or  operate  any  guest  lodging  facility  within  the
         Protected Territory of the terminated Additional API Facility.

5.2  Notwithstanding  anything set forth in this Agreement to the contrary,  (a)
the  prohibitions  of this  Section 5 shall not  apply to (i) the  provision  of
management  services by API to any  Unaffiliated  Third Party by API or (ii) the

Agreement,  (b) the  prohibitions of Section  5.1(a)(iv)  shall terminate on the

subsidiary or affiliate,  as applicable,  for such calendar  quarter relating to
such facility.  The Franchisor  shall provide reports with respect to, and shall
settle all disputes arising in connection with, such payments in accordance with
the terms of the Royalty Sharing Agreement (other than its Section 6).

5.3 API, AIFI,  ADI and AMI,  jointly and  severally,  shall  indemnify and hold
harmless Cendant, the Franchisor and each of its directors, officers, employees,
