                           solely because any Person acquired Beneficial
                           Ownership as defined in the Exchange Act of more than
                           the permitted amount of the then outstanding
                           securities as a result of the acquisition of
                           securities by the Company which by reducing the
                           number of securities then outstanding, increases the
                           proportional number of shares Beneficially Owned by
                           the subject Person(s), provided that if a Change in
                           Control would occur as a result of the acquisition of
                           securities by the Company, and after such share
                           acquisition by the Company, the Person becomes the
                           Beneficial Owner of any additional securities which
                           increases the percentage of the then outstanding
                           securities Beneficially Owned by the subject Person,
                           then a Change in Control shall occur.

                  (c) COMPENSATION UPON TERMINATION BASED UPON CHANGE IN CONTROL
- PAYMENT OF EXCISE TAXES. If a termination occurs upon a Change in Control as
defined above, then the Company shall pay the Executive those same amounts at
the same time as indicated in Section 11 (i) - (v) (a "Termination Payment"). In
addition, if the excise tax on "excess parachute payments," as defined in
Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), will
be imposed on the Executive under Code Section 4999 as a result of the
Executive's receipt of the Termination Payment or any other payment, benefit, or
compensation (without regard to the "Additional Amount" described below) which
the Executive receives or has the right to receive from the Company or any of
its affiliates (the "Change of Control Benefits"), the Company shall indemnify
the Executive and hold him harmless against all claims, losses, damages,
penalties, expenses, and excise taxes. To effect this indemnification, the
Company shall pay to the Executive the "Additional Amount" described in this
Section 12(c). The Additional Amount shall be the amount that is sufficient to
indemnify and hold the Executive harmless from the application of Code Section
280G and 4999 of the Code, including the amount of (i) the excise tax that will
be imposed on the Executive under Section 4999 of the Code with respect to the
Change of Control Benefits; (ii) the additional (A) excise tax under Section
4999 of the Code, (B) hospital insurance tax under Section 3111(b) of the Code,
and (C) federal, state and local income taxes for which the Executive is or will
be liable on account of the payment of the amount described in item (i); and
(iii) the further excise, hospital insurance and income taxes for which the
Executive is or will be liable on account of the payment of the amount described
in item (ii) and this item (iii) and any other indemnification payment under
this Section 12(c). The Additional Amount shall be calculated and paid to the
Executive at the time that the Termination Payment is paid to the Executive. In
calculating the Additional Amount, the highest marginal rates of federal and
applicable state and local income taxes applicable to individuals and in effect
for the year in which the Change of Control occurs shall be used. Nothing in
this Section 12(c) shall give the Executive the right to receive indemnification
from the Company or its affiliates for federal, state or local income taxes or
hospital insurance taxes payable solely as a result of the Executive's receipt
of (a) the Termination Payment or (b) any additional payment, benefit or
compensation OTHER THAN additional compensation in the form of the excise tax
payment specified in item (i) above. As specified in items (ii) and (iii) above,
all income, hospital

                                      -11-
<PAGE>

insurance and additional excise taxes resulting from additional compensation in
the form of the excise tax payment specified in item (i) above shall be paid to
the Executive.

                           The provisions of this Section 12(c) are illustrated
by the following example:

                           Assume that the Termination Payment and all other
Change of Control Benefits result in a total federal, state and local income tax
and hospital insurance tax liability of $180,000; and an excise tax liability
under Code Section 4999 of $70,000. Under such circumstances, the Executive is
solely responsible for the $180,000 income and hospital insurance tax liability;
and the Company must pay to the Executive $70,000, plus an amount necessary to
indemnify the Executive for all federal, state and local income taxes, hospital
insurance taxes, and excise taxes that will result from the $70,000 payment to
the Executive and from all further indemnification to the Executive of taxes
attributable to the initial $70,000 payment.

                  13.      CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. The executive recognizes
that the Company's business interests require a confidential relationship
between the Company and the Executive and the fullest practical protection and
confidential treatment of their trade secrets, operating manuals, marketing
techniques, designs, concepts, franchise operation and system management
programs, customer lists, innovations and improvements (collectively,
"Information") that will be conceived or learned by him in the course of his
employment with the Company. Accordingly, the Executive agrees, both during and
after termination of his employment, to keep secret and to treat confidentially
all of the Company's Information and not to use or aid others in using any such
Information in competition with the Company. The obligation set forth in this
Paragraph 13 shall exist during the Executive's employment and shall continue
after the termination of the Executive's employment for so long as any of the
Company's Information retains any confidentiality.

                  14.      NOTICES. All notices or deliveries authorized or
required pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given when in
writing and personally delivered or three (3) days following the date when
deposited in the U.S. mail, certified, return receipt requested, postage
prepaid, addressed to the parties at the following addresses or to such other
addresses as either may designate in writing to the other party:

Agreement for such a Borrowing (OTHER THAN any notice requirements or minimum
funding amounts) have, to Administrative Agent's knowledge, been satisfied.
Borrower shall have the right to Convert such Base Rate Borrowing to a
Eurodollar Borrowing pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in SECTION
3.10. The proceeds of that Borrowing shall be advanced directly to Issuing Bank
to pay Borrowers' unpaid reimbursement obligations. If funds cannot be advanced
as a result of Borrowers' failure to satisfy any condition precedent set forth
in SECTION 5, then Borrowers' reimbursement obligation shall constitute a demand
obligation. Borrowers' obligations under this SECTION are absolute and
unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff,
counterclaim, or defense to payment that any Borrower may have at any time
against Issuing Bank or any other Person. From the date that Issuing Bank pays a
draft under a LC that is not repaid with a Borrowing as described above until
Borrowers either reimburse or are obligated to reimburse Issuing Bank for that
draft under this SECTION, the amount of that draft bears interest payable to
Issuing Bank at the rate then applicable to Base Rate Borrowings. From the
demand date of the respective amounts due under this SECTION, to the date paid
(including any payment from proceeds of a Base Rate Borrowing), unpaid
reimbursement amounts accrue interest that is payable on demand at the Default
Rate.

         (d) GENERAL. Issuing Bank shall promptly notify Administrative Agent
and Borrowers of the date and amount of any draft presented for honor under any
LC (but failure to give notice will not affect Borrowers' obligations under this
Agreement). Issuing Bank shall pay the requested amount upon presentment of a
draft unless presentment on its face does not comply with the terms of the
applicable LC. Borrowers' reimbursement obligations to Issuing Bank and Lenders,
and each Lender's obligations to Issuing Bank, under this SECTION are absolute
and unconditional irrespective of, and Issuing Bank is not responsible for, (i)
the validity, enforceability, sufficiency, accuracy, or genuineness of documents
or endorsements (even if they are in any respect invalid, unenforceable,
insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent, or forged), (ii) any dispute by any
Company with or any Company's claims, setoffs, defenses, counterclaims, or other
Rights against any Credit Party or any other Person, or (iii) the occurrence of
any Potential Default or Default. However, nothing in this Agreement constitutes
a waiver of Borrowers' Rights to assert any claim or defense based upon the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Credit Party. Issuing Bank shall
promptly pay to Administrative Agent for Administrative Agent to promptly
distribute reimbursement payments received from any Borrower to all Lenders
according to their Pro Rata Share.

         (e) OBLIGATION OF LENDERS. If Borrowers fail to reimburse Issuing Bank
as provided in SECTION 2.3(C) by the date on which reimbursement is due under
that SECTION, and funds cannot be advanced under SECTION 2.1 to satisfy the
reimbursement obligations, then Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each
Lender of Borrowers' failure, of the date and amount paid, and of each Lender's
Pro Rata Share of the

                                       19
<PAGE>

unreimbursed amount. Each Lender shall promptly and unconditionally make
available to Administrative Agent, for the account of Issuing Bank, in
immediately available funds its Pro Rata Share of the unpaid reimbursement
obligation, subject to the limitations of SECTION 2.1(D). Funds are due and
payable to Administrative Agent before the close of business on the Business Day
when Administrative Agent gives notice to each Lender of Borrowers'
reimbursement failure (if notice is given before 1:00 p.m.) or on the next
succeeding Business Day (if notice is given after 1:00 p.m.). All amounts
payable by any Lender accrue interest after the due date at the Federal Funds
Rate from the day the applicable draft or draw is paid by Administrative Agent
to (but not including) the date the amount is paid by such Lender to
Administrative Agent. Upon receipt of any such funds, Administrative Agent shall
make them available to Issuing Bank.

         (f) DUTIES OF ISSUING BANK. Each Credit Party and each Borrower agree
that, in paying any draft under any LC, Issuing Bank has no responsibility to
obtain any document (OTHER THAN any documents expressly required by the
respective LC) or to ascertain or inquire as to any document's validity,
enforceability, sufficiency, accuracy, or genuineness or the authority of any
Person delivering it. Neither Issuing Bank nor its Representatives will be
liable to any Credit Party or any Company for any LC's use or for any
beneficiary's acts or omissions (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY ACTS OR
OMISSIONS CONSTITUTING ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE). Any action, inaction, error, delay,
or omission taken or suffered by Issuing Bank or any of its Representatives in
connection with any LC, applicable drafts or documents, or the transmission,
dispatch, or delivery of any related message or advice, if in good faith and in
conformity with applicable Governmental Requirements and in accordance with the
standards of care specified in the UNIFORM CUSTOMS AND PRACTICES FOR DOCUMENTARY
CREDITS (1993 REVISION), INTERNATIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE PUBLICATION NO. 500
(as amended or modified), is binding upon the Companies and the Credit Parties
and, except as provided in SECTION 2.3(E), does not place Issuing Bank or any of
its Representatives under any resulting liability to any Company or any Credit
Party. Issuing Bank is not liable to any Company or any Credit Party for any
action taken or omitted, in the absence of gross negligence or willful
misconduct, by Issuing Bank or its Representative in connection with any LC.

         (g) CASH COLLATERAL. On the Termination Date and if requested by
Required Lenders while a Default exists, Borrowers shall provide Administrative
Agent, for the ratable benefit of Issuing Bank and Lenders, cash collateral in
an amount to equal the then-existing LC Exposure.

         (h) INDEMNIFICATION. EACH BORROWER SHALL PROTECT, INDEMNIFY, PAY, AND
SAVE EACH CREDIT PARTY, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE REPRESENTATIVES, HARMLESS FROM AND
AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, LIABILITIES, DAMAGES, COSTS, CHARGES, AND
EXPENSES (INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS' FEES) WHICH ANY OF THEM MAY INCUR OR
BE SUBJECT TO AS A CONSEQUENCE OF THE ISSUANCE OF ANY LC, ANY DISPUTE ABOUT IT,
OR THE FAILURE OF ISSUING BANK TO HONOR A DRAW REQUEST UNDER ANY LC AS A RESULT
OF ANY ACT OR OMISSION (WHETHER RIGHT OR WRONG) OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE
GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY. ALTHOUGH EACH CREDIT PARTY, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE
REPRESENTATIVES, HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE INDEMNIFIED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR ITS
OR THEIR OWN ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE, NO PERSON IS ENTITLED TO INDEMNITY UNDER THE
FOREGOING FOR ITS OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

         (i) LC AGREEMENTS. Although referenced in any LC, terms of any
particular agreement or other obligation to the beneficiary are not incorporated
into this Agreement in any manner. The fees and other amounts payable with
respect to each LC are as provided in this Agreement, drafts under each LC are
part of the Obligation, only the events specified in this Agreement as a Default
shall constitute a default under any LC or LC Agreement, and the terms of this
Agreement control any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and any LC
Agreement.

                                       20

         2.4 COMPETITIVE BID FACILITY. If the Trust achieves an Investment Grade
Rating, then Lenders agree that, upon the written request of Borrowers to
Administrative Agent, Borrowers and the Credit Parties shall enter into
negotiations to amend this Agreement to provide for an uncommitted competitive
advance facility pursuant to which Borrowers may obtain competitive advances
from Lenders through an auction mechanism. The competitive advance facility
shall include terms, conditions, and fees acceptable to Borrowers and the Credit
Parties.

                                    SECTION 3

                                TERMS OF PAYMENT

         3.1      NOTES AND PAYMENTS.

         (a) The Total Principal Debt shall be evidenced by the Notes, which
Notes shall be payable by each Borrower, jointly and severally, to Lenders in
the aggregate stated principal amount of the Total Commitment, or so much
thereof as shall be outstanding at maturity.

         (b) Borrowers must make each payment and prepayment on the Obligation,
without offset, counterclaim, or deduction, to Administrative Agent's principal
office in Dallas, Texas, in Dollars that will be available for immediate use by
Administrative Agent by 2:00 p.m. on the day due. Payments received after such
time shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. Administrative Agent
shall pay to each Lender any payment to which such Lender is entitled on the
same day Administrative Agent receives the funds from Borrowers if
Administrative Agent receives the payment or prepayment before 2:00 p.m., and
otherwise before 2:00 p.m. on the following Business Day. If and to the extent
that Administrative Agent does not make payments to any Lender when due, then
Administrative Agent shall be obligated to pay to such Lender such unpaid
amounts together with interest at the Federal Funds Rate from the due date until
(but not including) the payment date.

         3.2      INTEREST AND PRINCIPAL PAYMENTS.

         (a)      INTEREST PAYMENTS.

                  (i) Subject to SECTION 13.2, accrued interest on each Base
         Rate Borrowing is due and payable on the last day of each calendar
         month during the term of this Agreement, commencing on May 30, 2000,
         and on the Termination Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that interest with
         respect to any Base Rate Borrowing shall also be due and payable on the
         Conversion date of any such Borrowing to a Eurodollar Borrowing.

                  (ii) Subject to SECTION 13.2, accrued interest on each
         Eurodollar Borrowing shall be due and payable as it accrues on the last
         day of its respective Interest Period; provided that if any Interest
         Period is greater than three (3) months, then accrued interest shall
         also be due and payable on the date that is three (3) months after the
         commencement of such Interest Period.

         (b) PRINCIPAL PAYMENTS. The Total Principal Debt is due and payable on
the Termination Date.

         (c) VOLUNTARY PREPAYMENT. Borrowers may voluntarily repay or prepay all
or any part of the Total Principal Debt at any time without premium or penalty,
subject to the following conditions:

                  (i) Administrative Agent must receive Borrowers' written
         payment notice by 11:00 a.m. at least three (3) Business Days preceding
         the date of payment of any Borrowing, which shall specify

                                       21
<PAGE>

         the payment date and the Type and amount of the Borrowing(s) to be
         paid, and which shall constitute an irrevocable and binding obligation
         of Borrowers to make a repayment or prepayment on the designated date;

                  (ii) each partial repayment or prepayment must be in a minimum
         amount of at least $500,000 and be an integral multiple of $100,000,
         or, if such repayment or prepayment is less than $500,000, then equal
         to the Total Principal Debt PLUS all accrued interest thereon; and

                  (iii) Borrowers shall pay any related Funding Loss upon
         demand.

         3.3 INTEREST OPTIONS. Except as specifically otherwise provided,
Borrowings shall bear interest at an annual rate equal to THE LESSER OF (a) the
Base Rate PLUS the Applicable Margin, or the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate PLUS the
Applicable Margin (in each case as designated or deemed designated by Borrowers
and, in the case of Eurodollar Borrowings, for the Interest Period designated by
Borrowers), and (b) the Maximum Rate. Each change in the Base Rate and Maximum
Rate is effective, without notice to Borrowers or any other Person, upon the
effective date of change.

         3.4 QUOTATION OF RATES. A Representative of Borrowers may call
Administrative Agent before delivering a Borrowing Request to receive an
indication of the interest rates then in effect, but the indicated rates do not
bind Administrative Agent or Lenders or affect the interest rate that is
actually in effect when Borrowers deliver its Borrowing Request or on the
Borrowing Date.

         3.5 DEFAULT RATE. If permitted by applicable law, all past-due
Principal Debt (at its stated maturity or upon acceleration) and past-due
interest accruing on any of the foregoing, shall bear interest from the date of
any Default at the Default Rate until paid, regardless of whether payment is
made before or after entry of a judgment.

         3.6 INTEREST RECAPTURE. If the designated interest rate applicable to
any Borrowing exceeds the Maximum Rate, then the interest rate on that Borrowing
is limited to the Maximum Rate, PROVIDED THAT any subsequent reductions in the
designated rate shall not reduce the interest rate thereon below the Maximum
Rate until the total amount of accrued interest equals the amount of interest
that would have accrued if that designated rate had always been in effect. If at
maturity (stated or by acceleration), or at final payment of the Notes, the
total interest paid or accrued is less than the interest that would have accrued
if the designated rates had always been in effect, then, at that time and to the
extent permitted by applicable law, Borrowers shall pay an amount equal to the
difference between (a) the lesser of the amount of interest that would have
accrued if the designated rates had always been in effect and the amount of
interest that would have accrued if the Maximum Rate had always been in effect,
and (b) the amount of interest actually paid or accrued on the Notes.

         3.7      INTEREST CALCULATIONS.

         (a) Interest shall be calculated on the basis of actual number of days
elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) but computed as if
each calendar year consisted of 360 days for all Borrowings (unless the
calculation would result in an interest rate greater than the Maximum Rate, in
which event interest shall be calculated on the basis of actual days elapsed and
a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be). All interest rate determinations
and calculations by Administrative Agent are conclusive and binding absent
manifest error.

         (b) The provisions of this Agreement relating to calculation of the
Base Rate and the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate are included only for the purpose of
determining the rate of interest or other amounts to be

                                       22
<PAGE>

paid under this Agreement that are based upon those rates. Each Lender may fund
and maintain its funding of all or any part of each Borrowing as it selects.

         3.8 MAXIMUM RATE. Regardless of any provision contained in any Loan
Document or any document related thereto, it is the intent of the parties to
this Agreement that no Credit Party may contract for, charge, take, reserve,
receive or apply, as interest on all or any part of the Obligation any amount in
excess of the Maximum Rate or the Maximum Amount or receive any unearned
interest in violation of any applicable law, and, if any Credit Party ever does
so, then any excess shall be treated as a partial repayment or prepayment of
principal and any remaining excess shall be refunded to Borrowers. In
determining if the interest paid or payable exceeds the Maximum Rate, Borrowers
and the Credit Parties shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable
law, (a) treat all Borrowings as but a single extension of credit (and the
Credit Parties and Borrowers agree that is the case and that provision in this
Agreement for multiple Borrowings is for convenience only), (b) characterize any
non-principal payment as an expense, fee, or premium rather than as interest,
(c) exclude voluntary repayments or prepayments and their effects, and (d)
amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread the total amount of interest throughout
the entire contemplated term of the Obligation. If, however, the Obligation is
paid in full before the end of its full contemplated term, and if the interest
received for its actual period of existence exceeds the Maximum Amount, then the
Credit Parties shall refund any excess (and the Credit Parties may not, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, be subject to any penalties provided by any
Governmental Requirements for contracting for, charging, taking, reserving or
receiving interest in excess of the Maximum Amount).

         3.9 INTEREST PERIODS. When Borrowers request any Eurodollar Borrowing,
Borrowers may elect the applicable interest period (each an "INTEREST PERIOD"),
which may be, at Borrowers' option, seven (7) days (but only if available from
all Lenders), one (1) month or two (2), three (3), or six (6) months, subject to
the following conditions: (a) the initial Interest Period for a Eurodollar
Borrowing commences on the applicable Borrowing Date or Conversion date, and
each subsequent Interest Period applicable to any Borrowing commences on the day
when the next preceding applicable Interest Period expires; (b) if any Interest
Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing begins on a day for which there exists no
numerically corresponding Business Day in the calendar month at the end of the
Interest Period ("ENDING CALENDAR MONTH"), then the Interest Period ends on the
next succeeding Business Day of the Ending Calendar Month, unless there is no
succeeding Business Day in the Ending Calendar Month in which case the Interest
Period ends on the next preceding Business Day of the Ending Calendar Month; (c)
no Interest Period for any portion of Total Principal Debt may extend beyond the
scheduled repayment date for that portion of Principal Debt; and (d) there may
not be in effect at any one time more than eight (8) Interest Periods.

         3.10 CONTINUATIONS; CONVERSIONS. Borrowers may (a) on the last day of
the applicable Interest Period Convert all or part of a Eurodollar Borrowing to
a Base Rate Borrowing, (b) at any time Convert all or part of a Base Rate
Borrowing to a Eurodollar Borrowing, and (c) on the last day of an Interest
Period, Continue a Eurodollar Borrowing for a new Interest Period. Any such
Conversion or Continuation is subject to the dollar limits and denominations of
SECTION 2.1 and may be accomplished by delivering a Borrowing Request to
Administrative Agent no later than 11:00 a.m. on the third (3rd) Business Day
before (i) the Conversion date for Conversion to a Eurodollar Borrowing, (ii)
the last day of the Interest Period, for the Continuation to a new Interest
Period, and (iii) the last day of the Interest Period for Conversion to a Base
Rate Borrowing. Absent such a Borrowing Notice, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be
Continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing having a one (1) month Interest Period (so
long as no Default exists and/or the last day of such Interest Period does not
extend beyond the Maturity Date, in either such case such Eurodollar Borrowing
shall be Converted to a Base Rate Borrowing) when the applicable Interest Period
expires.

<PAGE>

         3.11     ORDER OF APPLICATION.

         (a) NO DEFAULT. If no Default exists, then except as otherwise
specifically provided in the Loan Documents, any payment shall be applied to the
Obligation in the order and manner as Borrowers direct.

         (b) DEFAULT. If a Default exists, any payment (including proceeds from
the exercise of any Rights) shall be applied in the following order: (i) to all
fees and expenses for which any Credit Party have not been paid or reimbursed in
accordance with the Loan Documents (and if such payment is less than all unpaid
or unreimbursed fees and expenses, then the payment shall be paid against unpaid
and unreimbursed fees and expenses in the order of incurrence or due date); (ii)
to accrued interest on the Principal Debt; (iii) to the Total Principal Debt and
the remaining Obligation in the order and manner as the Required Lenders deem
appropriate; and (iv) as a deposit with Administrative Agent, for the benefit of
the Credit Parties, as security for and payment of any LC Exposure.

         (c) PRO RATA. Each payment or prepayment shall be distributed to each
Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share of such payment or prepayment.

         3.12     RIGHT OF SETOFF; ADJUSTMENTS.

         (a) SETOFF. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Default, each Lender (and each of its Affiliates) is hereby authorized at any
time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off
and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional
or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such
Lender (or any of its Affiliates) to or for the credit or the account of any
Borrower against any and all of the obligations of any Borrower now or hereafter
existing under this Agreement and the Note held by such Lender, irrespective of
whether such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such Note
and although such obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender agrees promptly to
notify Borrowers after any such setoff and application made by such Lender;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the
validity of such setoff and application. The Rights of each Lender under this
SECTION are in addition to other Rights (including, without limitation, other
Rights of setoff) that such Lender may have.

         (b) ADJUSTMENTS. If any Lender (a "BENEFITTED LENDER") shall at any
time receive any payment of all or part of the Principal Debt owing to it, or
interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether
voluntarily or involuntarily, by setoff, or otherwise), in a greater proportion
than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in
respect of such other Lender's Principal Debt owing to it, or interest thereon,
such Benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a
participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender's Principal
Debt owing to it, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any
such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such
Benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or
proceeds ratably with all Lenders; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if all or any portion
of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted
Lender, then such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and
benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.
Borrowers agree that any Lender so purchasing a participation from a Lender
pursuant to this SECTION may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise
all of its Rights of payment (including the Right of setoff) with respect to
such participation as fully as if such Person were the direct creditor of
Borrowers in the amount of such participation.

         3.13 BOOKING BORROWINGS. To the extent permitted by applicable law, any
Lender may make, carry, or transfer its Borrowings at, to, or for the account of
any of its branch offices or the office of any of its Affiliates. However, no
Affiliate is entitled to receive any greater payment under SECTION 3.14 than the
transfer or Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to those
Borrowings, and a transfer may

                                       24
<PAGE>

not be made if, as a direct result of it, SECTION 3.14 or 3.15 would apply to
any of the Obligation. If any of the conditions of SECTIONS 3.14, 3.15, or 3.16
ever apply to a Lender, then such Lender shall, to the extent possible, carry or
transfer its Borrowings at, to, or for the account of any of its branch offices
or the office or branch of any of its Affiliates so long as the transfer is
consistent with the other provisions of this SECTION, does not create any burden
or adverse circumstance for such Lender that would not otherwise exist, and
eliminates or ameliorates the conditions of SECTIONS 3.14, 3.15, or 3.16 as
applicable.

         3.14     INCREASED COST AND REDUCED RETURN.

         (a) CHANGE IN LAWS. If, after the date hereof, the adoption of any
applicable Governmental Requirement, or any change in any applicable
Governmental Requirement, or any change in the interpretation or administration
thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its Applicable Lending
Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law)
of any such Governmental Authority:

                  (i) shall subject such Lender (or its Applicable Lending
         Office) to any tax, duty, or other charge with respect to any
         Eurodollar Borrowing, its Note, or its obligation to make Eurodollar
         Borrowings, or change the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to
         such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this Agreement or
         its Note in respect of any Eurodollar Borrowings (other than taxes
         imposed on the overall net income of such Lender by the jurisdiction in
         which such Lender has its principal office or such Applicable Lending
         Office);

                  (ii) shall impose, modify, or deem applicable any reserve,
         special deposit, assessment, or similar requirement (other than the
         Reserve Requirement utilized in the determination of the Adjusted
         Eurodollar Rate) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets
         of, or any deposits with or other liabilities or commitments of, such
         Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office), including the Commitment of
         such Lender hereunder; or

                  (iii) shall impose on such Lender (or its Applicable Lending
         Office) or the London interbank market any other condition affecting
         this Agreement or its Note or any of such extensions of credit or
         liabilities or commitments;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender
(or its Applicable Lending Office) of making, Converting into, Continuing, or
maintaining any Eurodollar Borrowings or to reduce any sum received or
receivable by such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this
Agreement or its Note with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowings, then Borrowers
shall pay to such Lender on demand such amount or amounts as will compensate
such Lender for such increased cost or reduction.

         (b) CAPITAL ADEQUACY. If, after the date hereof, any Lender shall have
determined that the adoption of any applicable Governmental Requirement
regarding capital adequacy or any change therein or in the interpretation or
administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof, or any request or directive regarding
capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such
Governmental Authority, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of
return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender
as a consequence of such Lender's obligations hereunder to a level below that
which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption,
change, request, or directive (taking into consideration its policies with
respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time upon demand Borrowers shall
pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such
Lender for such reduction.

                                       25
<PAGE>

         (c) NOTICE. Each Lender shall promptly notify Borrowers and
Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the
date hereof, which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this
SECTION 3.14 and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such
designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation
and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to
it. Any Lender claiming compensation under this SECTION 3.14 shall furnish to
Borrowers and Administrative Agent a statement setting forth the additional
amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder which shall be conclusive in the
absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any
reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

         (d) SUSPENSION OF EURODOLLAR BORROWINGS. If any Lender requests
compensation by Borrowers under this SECTION 3.14, then Borrowers may, by notice
to such Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of
such Lender to make or Continue Eurodollar Borrowings, or Convert all Eurodollar
Borrowings into Base Rate Borrowings, until the event or condition giving rise
to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of SECTION
3.17 shall be applicable); provided that such suspension shall not affect the
Right of such Lender to receive the compensation so requested.

         3.15 LIMITATION ON TYPES OF BORROWINGS. If on or prior to the first
(1st) day of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing:

         (a) Administrative Agent is unable to determine the Eurodollar Rate for
such Interest Period in accordance with the definition of "EURODOLLAR RATE;" or

         (b) the Required Lenders determine (which determination shall be
conclusive) and notify Administrative Agent that the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate
will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lenders of funding Eurodollar
Borrowings for such Interest Period;

then Administrative Agent shall give Borrowers prompt notice thereof specifying
the relevant amounts or periods, and so long as such condition remains in
effect, Lenders shall be under no obligation to make additional Eurodollar
Borrowings, Continue any Eurodollar Borrowings, or to Convert any Base Rate
Borrowings to Eurodollar Borrowings and Borrowers shall, on the last day(s) of
the then-current Interest Period(s) for the outstanding Eurodollar Borrowings,
either prepay such Borrowings or Convert such Borrowings into Base Rate
Borrowings in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

         3.16 ILLEGALITY. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
in the event that it becomes unlawful for any Lender or its Applicable Lending
Office to make, maintain, or fund Eurodollar Borrowings hereunder, then such
Lender shall promptly notify Administrative Agent and Borrowers thereof and such
Lender's obligation to make or Continue Eurodollar Borrowings and to Convert
Base Rate Borrowings into Eurodollar Borrowings shall be suspended until such
time as such Lender may again make, maintain, and fund Eurodollar Borrowings (in
which case the provisions of SECTION 3.17 shall be applicable).

         3.17 TREATMENT OF AFFECTED LOANS. If the obligation of any Lender to
make or Continue Eurodollar Borrowings or to Convert Base Rate Borrowings into
Eurodollar Borrowings shall be suspended pursuant to SECTIONS 3.14, 3.15, or
3.16, such Lender's Eurodollar Borrowings shall be automatically Converted into
Base Rate Borrowings on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s)
for all Eurodollar Borrowings (or, in the case of a Conversion required by
SECTION 3.16, on such earlier date as such Lender may specify to Borrowers with
a copy to Administrative Agent) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice
as provided below that the circumstances specified in SECTIONS 3.14, 3.15, or
3.16 that gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist:

                                       26
<PAGE>

         (a) to the extent that such Lender's Eurodollar Borrowings have been so
Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be
applied to such Lender's Eurodollar Borrowings shall be applied instead to its
Base Rate Borrowings; and

         (b) all Borrowings that would otherwise be made or Continued by such
Lender as Eurodollar Borrowings shall be made or Continued instead as Base Rate
Borrowings, and all Borrowings of such Lender that would otherwise be Converted
into Eurodollar Borrowings shall be Converted instead into (or shall remain as)
Base Rate Borrowings.

If such Lender gives notice to Borrowers (with a copy to Administrative Agent)
that the circumstances specified in SECTIONS 3.14, 3.15, or 3.16 that gave rise
to the Conversion of such Lender's Eurodollar Borrowings pursuant to this
SECTION 3.17 no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such
circumstances ceasing to exist), such Lender's Base Rate Borrowings shall be
automatically Converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest
Period(s) for such outstanding Eurodollar Borrowings, to the extent necessary so
that, after giving effect thereto, all Eurodollar Borrowings held by Lenders are
held Pro Rata (as to principal amounts, Types, and Interest Periods).

         3.18 COMPENSATION. Upon the request of any Lender, Borrowers shall pay
to such Lender such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable
opinion of such Lender) to compensate it for any loss, cost, or expense (herein
called a "FUNDING Loss") incurred by it as a result of:

         (s) any payment, prepayment, or Conversion of a Eurodollar Borrowing
for any reason (including, without limitation, the acceleration of the
Obligation pursuant to SECTION 11.1) on a date other than the last day of the
Interest Period for such Borrowing; or

         (b) any failure by Borrowers for any reason (including, without
limitation, the failure of any condition precedent specified in SECTION 5 to be
satisfied) to borrow, Convert, Continue, or prepay a Eurodollar Borrowing on the
date for such borrowing, Conversion, Continuation, or prepayment specified in
the relevant Borrowing Notice.

A Funding Loss shall include, without limitation, an amount equal to (i) the
principal amount so pre-paid, Converted on a date other than the last day of the
Interest Period for such Borrowing ("BREAKAGE DATE I"), or not borrowed,
Converted, Continued or prepaid on the date for such Borrowing, Conversion,
Continuation or prepayment specified in the relevant Borrowing Notice ("BREAKAGE
DATE II"), TIMES (ii) the number of days in the period from the date of such
prepayment, Conversion, or failure to borrow, Convert, Continue, or prepay to
the last day of the Interest Period for the Eurodollar Borrowing so prepaid or
Converted (or in the case of a failure to borrow, Convert, Continue or Prepay,
the Interest Period for such Eurodollar Borrowing which would have commenced on
the date specified for such Borrowing) (the "APPLICABLE INTEREST PERIOD")
DIVIDED BY 360, TIMES (iii) the Eurodollar Rate for the Applicable Interest
Period less the Eurodollar Rate determined as of the Breakage Date I or Breakage
Date II, as applicable. If the Eurodollar Rate for Breakage Date I or Breakage
Date II, as applicable, is higher than the Eurodollar Rate for the Applicable
Interest Period, or if the amount determined under the immediately preceding
sentence is less than $100, then no Funding Loss shall be payable.

         3.19     TAXES.

         (a) Any and all payments by Borrowers to or for the account of any
Lender or any Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made
free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes,
duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all
liabilities with respect thereto, EXCLUDING, in the case of each Lender and each
Agent, taxes imposed on its income, net

                                       27
<PAGE>

receipts, gross income, gross receipts, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by
the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender (or its Applicable Lending
Office) or such Agent (as the case may be) is organized or any political
subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts,
deductions, charges, withholdings, and liabilities being hereinafter referred to
as "TAXES"). If Borrowers shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or
in respect of any sum payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to
any Lender or any Agent, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as
necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions
applicable to additional sums payable under this SECTION 3.19) such Lender or
such Agent receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no
such deductions been made, (ii) Borrowers shall make such deductions, (iii)
Borrowers shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority
or other authority in accordance with applicable law, and (iv) Borrowers shall
furnish to Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in SECTION 13.3, the
original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

         (b) In addition, Borrowers agree to pay any and all present or future
stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes or charges or
similar levies which arise from any payment made under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with
respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (hereinafter referred to
as "OTHER TAXES").

         (c) Borrowers agree to indemnify each Lender and each Agent for the
full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes
or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under
this SECTION 3.19) paid by such Lender or such Agent (as the case may be) and
any liability (including penalties, interest, and expenses) arising therefrom or
with respect thereto.

         (d) Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the
United States, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this
Agreement in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof and on
or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other
Lender, and from time to time thereafter if requested in writing by Borrowers or
any Agent (but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so),
shall provide Borrowers and Administrative Agent with (i) INTERNAL REVENUE
SERVICE FORM 1001 or 4224, as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by
the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender is entitled to
benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which
reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest or certifying that
the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with
the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, (ii) INTERNAL REVENUE
SERVICE FORM W-8 or W-9, as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the
Internal Revenue Service, and (iii) any other form or certificate required by
any taxing authority (including any certificate required by SECTIONS 871(H) and
881(C) of the Code), certifying that such Lender is entitled to an exemption
from or a reduced rate of tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement or any of
the other Loan Documents.

         (e) For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide
Borrowers and Administrative Agent with the appropriate form pursuant to SECTION
3.19(D) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law, or regulation
occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be
provided), such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under SECTION
3.19(A) or (B) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that should a Lender, which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a
reduced rate of withholding tax, become subject to Taxes because of its failure
to deliver a form required hereunder, Borrowers shall take such steps as such
Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such Taxes.

         (f) If Borrowers are required to pay additional amounts to or for the
account of any Lender pursuant to this SECTION 3.19, then such Lender will agree
to use reasonable efforts to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending
Office so as to eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which may

                                       28
<PAGE>

thereafter accrue if such change, in the judgment of such Lender, is not
otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

         (g) Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes,
Borrowers shall furnish to Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy
of a receipt evidencing such payment.

         (h) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of
Borrowers hereunder, the agreements and obligations of Borrowers contained in
this SECTION 3.19 shall survive the termination of the Total Commitments and the
payment in full of the Notes.

         3.20     FEES.

         (a) TREATMENT OF FEES. The fees described in this SECTION 3.20 (i) are
not compensation for the use, detention, or forbearance of money, (ii) are in
addition to, and not in lieu of, interest and expenses otherwise described in
this Agreement, (iii) are payable in accordance with SECTION 3.1(B), (iv) are
non-refundable, (v) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, bear
interest, if not paid when due, at the Default Rate, and (vi) are calculated on
the basis of actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the
last day) elapsed, but computed as if each calendar year consisted of 360 days,
unless computation would result in an interest rate in excess of the Maximum
Rate in which event the computation is made on the basis of actual days elapsed
and a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be. The fees described in this
SECTION 3.20 are in all events subject to the provisions of SECTION 3.8.

         (b) AGENT FEES. Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent, the fees
specified in the letter agreement between Administrative Agent and Borrowers,
which fees shall be for the account of Administrative Agent and for the account
of Lenders as shall be agreed between Administrative Agent and each Lender.

         (c) LENDERS' FEES. Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the
account of each Lender, a quarterly facility fee (prorated for partial quarters)
equal to THE SUM OF the amounts obtained by multiplying the Commitment of such
Lender TIMES a per annum rate equal to one-tenth of one percent (0.10%). Such
facility fee shall accrue commencing on the Closing Date, and shall be due and
payable on the last day of each March, June, September, and December during the
term hereof, commencing on June 30, 2000, and on the Termination Date, based
upon the Commitment for such Lender for each day during the quarter ending on
such date.

         (e) LC FEES. As an inducement for the issuance (including, without
limitation, the extension) of each LC, Borrowers agree to pay to Administrative
Agent:

                  (i) For the ratable account of each Lender, on the day the fee
         is payable, an issuance fee, payable quarterly in arrears, equal to THE
         GREATER OF (A) the PRODUCT of the average face amount of such LC during
         each applicable quarterly period TIMES one percent (1%) per annum, and
         (B) $1,000; and

                  (ii) For the account of Issuing Bank, payable on the date of
         issuance, an issuance fee, equal to the PRODUCT of the average face
         amount of such LC during each applicable quarterly period TIMES
         one-quarter of one percent (.25%) per annum.

         (e) EXTENSION FEES. Upon the extension of the Maturity Date, as
provided in SECTION 3.21, Borrowers agree to pay Administrative Agent, on or
before the original Maturity Date, for the ratable account of Lenders, an
extension fee equal to one-quarter of one percent (.25%) of the Total
Commitment.

                                       29
<PAGE>

      3.21 EXTENSION OF MATURITY DATE. If no Default or Potential Default
exists, then Borrowers may request a one-year extension of the Maturity Date by
making such request in writing (an "EXTENSION REQUEST") to Administrative Agent
between one hundred and fifty (150) and ninety (90) days prior to the original
Maturity Date. The original Maturity Date shall be extended for one (1) year
only if (a) Administrative Agent and each Lender consent in writing to such
extension within thirty (30) days following the receipt of the Extension
Request, and (b) Borrowers pay to Administrative Agent, for the account of
Lenders, the extension fee set forth in SECTION 3.20(E). The failure to respond
by Administrative Agent or any Lender to an Extension Request shall be deemed to
be a denial of such consent by such Person. If Lenders having a Pro Rata Share
of at least sixty-six and two-thirds percent (662/3%) consent to such extension
(such Lenders being "CONSENTING LENDERS" and the Lenders not consenting being
"NON-CONSENTING LENDERS"), then the original Maturity Date shall be extended as
to the Consenting Lenders. In such event, Borrowers may, on or before the
original Maturity Date, effect one or more assignments from the Non-Consenting
Lenders to a new Lender or Lenders pursuant to SECTION 13.11 who shall also
consent to the extension of the Maturity Date. Any such assignment to a new
Lender or Lenders shall be subject to the payment to the assigning Lender an
amount equal to the Principal Debt owing to such assigning Lender as of the
effective date of such assignment, together with all accrued unpaid interest
thereon and any Funding Loss payable under SECTION 3.18 as a result of such
payment to the assigning Lender by the assignee Lender. Administrative Agent
agrees to exercise its reasonable best efforts to assist Borrowers in
identifying prospective assignees of the Non-Consenting Lenders' Commitments
hereunder; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Administrative Agent has no obligation to
ensure that any such assignees will agree to purchase assignments from the
Non-Consenting Lenders. Any Non-Consenting Lender shall, on the original
Maturity Date (or, if earlier, the effective date of any assignment to another
Lender described above), cease to be a "LENDER" for purposes of this Agreement,
PROVIDED THAT Borrowers shall continue to be obligated to such Lender under
SECTION 7.12 with respect to Indemnified Liabilities (as defined in SECTION
7.12) arising prior to such date. If Borrowers fail to effect assignments from
the Non-Consenting Lenders to a new Lender or Lenders, then Borrowers may elect
to not extend the original Maturity Date, as provided herein, by giving
Administrative Agent written notice thereof at least five (5) days prior to the
original Maturity Date. In such event, Borrowers shall not be required to pay
the extension fee set forth in SECTION 3.20(E).

         3.22 OPTION TO REPLACE LENDERS. If any Lender shall make demand for
payment or reimbursement pursuant to SECTION 3.14(A) or SECTION 3.14(B) or
notifies Borrowers of the occurrence of the circumstances described in SECTION
3.15(B), then, PROVIDED THAT (a) no Default has occurred and is continuing, and
(b) the circumstances resulting in such demand for payment or reimbursement are
not applicable to all Lenders, Borrowers may terminate the Commitment of such
Lender, in whole but not in part, by either (i) (A) giving such Lender and
Administrative Agent not less than five (5) Business Days' written notice
thereof, which notice shall be irrevocable and effective only upon receipt
thereof by such Lender and Administrative Agent and shall specify the date of
such termination, and (B) paying such Lender (and there shall become due and
payable) on such date the outstanding Principal Debt of all Borrowings made by
such Lender, all interest thereon, and any other Obligation owed to such Lender
(including any amounts payable under SECTION 3.18), if any, or (ii) pursuant to
the provisions of SECTION 13.11, proposing the introduction of a replacement
Lender satisfactory to Administrative Agent, or obtaining the agreement of one
or more existing Lenders, to assume the entire amount of the Commitment of the
Lender whose Commitment is being terminated, on the effective date of such
termination. Any such assignment to a replacement Lender or an existing Lender
shall be subject to the payment to the assigning Lender an amount equal to the
Principal Debt owing to such assigning Lender as of the effective date of such
assignment, together with all accrued unpaid interest thereon and any Funding
Loss payable under SECTION 3.18 as a result of such payment to the assigning
Lender by the assignee Lender. Upon the satisfaction of all the foregoing
conditions, such Lender that is being terminated shall cease to be a "LENDER"
for purposes of this Agreement, PROVIDED THAT Borrowers shall continue to be
obligated to such Lender under SECTION 7.12 with respect to Indemnified
Liabilities (as defined in SECTION 7.12) arising prior to such termination.

                                    SECTION 4

                                 BORROWING BASE

         4.1      BORROWING BASE.

         (a) CALCULATION OF BORROWING BASE. The "BORROWING BASE" shall, as of
the last date of each fiscal quarter during the term hereof, be equal to THE
PRODUCT OF (a) forty percent (40%), AND (b) the sum of the following: (i) the
Implied Value of each Borrowing Base Property owned by an Obligor and that has
been in service for more than twelve (12) months as of such determination date;
PLUS (ii) the Approved Costs of each Borrowing Base Property owned by an Obligor
and that have been in service for less than twelve (12) months as of such
determination date; PROVIDED THAT the number of Rooms in all Borrowing Base
Properties that have been in service for less than twelve (12) months as of such
determination date may not constitute more than twenty percent (20%) of the
total number of Rooms in all Borrowing Base Properties as of such determination
date.

         (b) DETERMINATION OF THE CAPITALIZATION RATE. Administrative Agent
shall notify Borrowers within forty-five (45) days prior to any adjustment to
the Capitalization Rate for each state in which a Hotel is located based upon
market conditions for comparable properties; PROVIDED THAT the Capitalization
Rate may not be increased or decreased at any one time by more than one and
one-quarter of one percent (1.25%) annually. In determining the "CAPITALIZATION
RATE," Lenders agree to consider the operating performance of each Hotel;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Lenders shall not be required to adjust the
Capitalization Rate based upon such individual Hotel performance.

         4.2      ADMISSION OF QUALIFIED PROPERTIES INTO THE BORROWING BASE.

         (a) REQUEST FOR ADMISSION INTO BORROWING BASE. Borrowers shall provide
Administrative Agent (with copies for each of Lenders) with a written request
for a Hotel to be admitted into the Borrowing Base. Such request shall be
accompanied by information regarding such Hotel, including, without limitation,
the following, in each case acceptable to Administrative Agent: (i) a general
description of the Hotel's location, market, and amenities; (ii) a property
description; (iii) purchase information (including any contracts of sale and
closing statements); (iv) a Phase I environmental assessment and, if requested
by Administrative Agent based upon issues identified in the Phase I assessment,
additional environmental assessments; (v) copies of title insurance and any
surveys; (vi) operating statements; (vii) engineering reports; (viii) evidence
of insurance; (ix) copies of all Operating Leases, ground leases, other leases,
management agreements, and franchise agreements; (x) a copy of the most-recent
appraisal, if available; and (xi) such other information requested by
Administrative Agent as shall be necessary in order for Administrative Agent and
Required Lenders to determine whether such Hotel is a Qualified Property.

         (b) QUALIFIED PROPERTIES. In order for a Hotel to be eligible for
inclusion in the Borrowing Base (an "QUALIFIED PROPERTY"), such Hotel shall have
the following characteristics:

                  (i) a Borrower or a ninety-nine percent (99%)-owned
         Consolidated Affiliate of the Partnership that has executed the
         Subsidiary Guaranty (a "SUBSIDIARY GUARANTOR") shall have good and
         indefeasible title to such Hotel, free and clear of all Liens (except
         for Permitted Liens);

                  (ii) such Hotel is an existing and operating extended stay,
         full service, or limited service Hotel located in the United States;

                                       31
<PAGE>

                  (iii) all Operating Leases shall be substantially in the form
         previously approved by Administrative Agent or otherwise acceptable to
         Administrative Agent;

                  (iv) all Lessees shall be either (A) an IHI Lessee, a
         Summerfield Lessee, or an Affiliate thereof, (B) a wholly-owned
         Consolidated Affiliate of the Trust that is a Subsidiary Guarantor, or
         (C) another Person acceptable to Required Lenders; and

              (v) all ground leases, if any, with respect to such Hotel shall be
         acceptable to Administrative Agent.

         (c) APPROVAL OF REQUIRED LENDERS. Each Hotel shall be subject to
Required Lenders' approval for admission to the Borrowing Base after evaluation
of such Hotel's market area, location, access, and design. Administrative Agent
shall provide Borrowers with written notice of whether Required Lenders have
approved a Hotel for admission into the Borrowing Base.

         (d) OTHER REQUIREMENTS RESPECTING THE BORROWING BASE. During the term
hereof, (i) once five (5) Hotels have been admitted into the Borrowing Base,
there shall always be at least five (5) Hotels admitted into the Borrowing Base,
and (ii) the principal balance of the Obligation shall not be less than $1.00,
in each case unless otherwise consented to by Required Lenders.

         (e) COMPUTATION OF ADJUSTED NET OPERATING INCOME. Borrowers shall
deliver to Administrative Agent quarterly computations of Adjusted NOI with the
Borrowing Base Report required pursuant to SECTION 7.1(C). Administrative Agent
shall notify Borrowers in writing of any calculation errors or other errors in
the calculation of Adjusted NOI required by Administrative Agent pursuant to the
definition of Adjusted NOI and corresponding adjustments to the Borrowing Base
(if any). If a Hotel is admitted into the Borrowing Base prior to the last day
of any fiscal quarter during the term of this Agreement, then Administrative
Agent shall notify Borrowers and Lenders in writing of any changes to the
Borrowing Base as a result of the admission of such Hotel into the Borrowing
Base.

         (f) CERTAIN EVENTS WITH RESPECT TO BORROWING BASE PROPERTIES. If (i)
any Borrowing Base Property is subject to or suffers a Material Environmental
Event, (ii) any Borrowing Base Property no longer satisfies the requirements set
forth in the definition of "QUALIFIED PROPERTY," (iii) the occurrence of any
event or circumstance that could result in the failure of the Lessee under the
Operating Lease with respect to such Borrowing Base Property to pay rental
payments under such Operating Lease or otherwise materially and adversely affect
the operation of such Borrowing Base Property, (iv) any Lessee (A) is not
Solvent, (B) fails to pay its Liabilities generally as they become due, (C)
voluntarily seeks, consents to, or acquiesces in the benefit of any Debtor
Relief Law, or (D) becomes a party to or is made the subject of any proceeding
provided for by any Debtor Relief Law, other than as a creditor or claimant
(unless, if the proceeding is involuntary, the applicable petition is dismissed
within sixty (60) days after its filing), or (v) the franchise or license
agreement with respect to any Borrowing Base Property shall be terminated or
canceled or shall expire by its terms and is not replaced with an Approved
Franchise within ninety (90) days after such termination, cancellation, or
expiration, then Required Lenders shall have the right in their sole discretion
at any time and from time to time to notify Borrowers that, effective upon the
giving of such notice, and for so long as such event or condition exists, such
Borrowing Base Property shall no longer be considered a Borrowing Base Property
for purposes of determining the Borrowing Base. If Administrative Agent delivers
a notice with respect to a Borrowing Base Property as set forth in this SECTION,
then at such time as such Borrowing Base Property is no longer subject to any of
the conditions described above, Borrowers may give Administrative Agent written
notice thereof (together with reasonably detailed evidence of the cure of such
condition in a manner reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent) and such
Borrowing Base Property shall, effective with the delivery by Borrowers of the
next Borrowing Base Report, be considered a Borrowing Base Property

                                       32
<PAGE>

for purposes of calculating the Borrowing Base until such time as any of the
conditions set forth above apply thereto.

         (g) RELEASE OF BORROWING BASE PROPERTIES AND SUBSIDIARY GUARANTORS.
Borrowers may request that a Borrowing Base Property that has previously been
admitted into the Borrowing Base be removed from the Borrowing Base PROVIDED
THAT: (i) Borrowers shall provide Administrative Agent a written request to
remove such Borrowing Base Property from the Borrowing Base, (ii) after giving
effect to the removal of such Borrowing Base Property from the Borrowing Base,
the Borrowing Base is equal to or exceeds the Commitment Usage, and (iii) no
Potential Default or Default shall exist prior to or after giving effect to the
removal of such Borrowing Base Property from the Borrowing Base. If, as of any
date, no Hotel owned by a Subsidiary Guarantor is a Borrowing Base Property,
then Administrative Agent shall, upon the written request of Borrower, release
such Subsidiary Guarantor from the Subsidiary Guaranty pursuant to a release of
guaranty in the form attached to the Subsidiary Guaranty, UNLESS a Potential
Default or Default exists or would result from such release.

         (h) CLOSING DATE BORROWING BASE PROPERTIES. As of the Closing Date, the
Hotels listed on SCHEDULE 4.2 have been admitted into the Borrowing Base and are
Borrowing Base Properties as of the Closing Date.

         4.3 NEGATIVE PLEDGE AGREEMENTS. Borrowers shall not, and shall not
permit any Obligor to, enter into or permit to exist any arrangement or
agreement that directly or indirectly prohibits any Obligor from creating or
incurring any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) on any Borrowing Base Property.

         4.4      BORROWING BASE COVENANTS.

         (a) DEBT SERVICE COVERAGE. As of any date, Borrowers shall not permit,
as of any date of determination, the ratio of (i) Adjusted NOI for the Borrowing

period ending on the date of determination, to (ii) Implied Debt Service, to be
less than 2.25 to 1.0.

         (b) EXTENDED STAY/FULL SERVICE ROOMS. As of any date, Borrowers shall

(ii) all Rooms in all Borrowing Base Properties, to exceed .30 to 1.0.

         (d) ROOMS IN A PROPERTY. As of any date, Borrowers shall not permit the
ratio of (i) all Rooms in any one Borrowing Base Property, to (ii) all Rooms in
all Borrowing Base Properties, to exceed .20 to 1.0.

         (e) IMPLIED VALUE OF A PROPERTY. As of any date, Borrowers shall not
permit the ratio of (i) the Implied Value of any one Borrowing Base Property, to
(ii) the Borrowing Base, to exceed .20 to 1.0.

         (f) OPERATING LEASE PAYMENTS. The operations of each Borrowing Base
Property must produce cash flow sufficient to cover all minimum base rent under
the Operating Lease with respect to such Borrowing Base Property.

                               RIGHTS AND REMEDIES

         11.1 REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT.

         (a) DEBTOR RELIEF. If a Default (i) occurs under SECTION 10.3(C) or (D)
(and in the case of (D), such Default shall not have been remedied during any
period of grace contained therein), or (ii) occurs and is continuing under
SECTION 10.3(A) or (B), the commitment to extend credit under this Agreement
automatically terminates, the entire unpaid balance of the Obligation
automatically becomes due and payable without any action of any kind whatsoever.

                                       48
<PAGE>

         (b) OTHER DEFAULTS. If a Default occurs and is continuing, subject to
the terms of SECTION 13.9(B), then Administrative Agent may, and upon the
request of the Required Lenders shall, do any one or more of the following: (i)
if the maturity of the Obligation has not already been accelerated under SECTION
11.1(A), then declare the entire unpaid balance of all or any part of the
Obligation immediately due and payable, whereupon it is due and payable; (ii)
terminate the commitments of Lenders to extend credit under this Agreement;
(iii) reduce any claim to judgment; and (iv) exercise any and all other legal or
equitable Rights afforded by the Loan Documents, the Governmental Requirements
of the State of Texas, or any other applicable jurisdiction.

         11.2 WAIVERS. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Company
waives presentment and demand for payment, protest, notice of intention to
accelerate, notice of acceleration, and notice of protest and nonpayment, and
agrees that its liability with respect to all or any part of the Obligation is
not affected by any renewal or extension in the time of payment of all or any
part of the Obligation, by any indulgence, or by any release or change in any
security for the payment of all or any part of the Obligation.

         11.3 PERFORMANCE BY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. If any covenant, duty, or
agreement of Borrowers is not performed in accordance with the terms of the Loan
Documents, Administrative Agent may, while a Default exists, at its option,
perform, or attempt to perform that covenant, duty, or agreement on behalf of
Borrowers (and any amount expended by Administrative Agent in its performance or
attempted performance is payable by to Administrative Agent on demand, becomes
part of the Obligation, and bears interest at the Default Rate from the date of
Administrative Agent's expenditure until paid). However, neither Administrative
Agent nor any Lender assumes or shall have, except by its express written
consent, any liability or responsibility for the performance of any covenant,
duty, or agreement of Borrowers.

         11.4 NOT IN CONTROL. None of the covenants or other provisions
contained in any Loan Document shall, or shall be deemed to, give any Agent or
any Lender the Right to exercise control over the assets (including real
Property), affairs, or management of any Company.

         11.5 COURSE OF DEALING. The acceptance by any Agent or any Lender of
any partial payment on the Obligation shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any
Default then existing. No waiver by any Credit Party of any Default shall be
deemed to be a waiver of any other then-existing or subsequent Default. No delay
or omission by any Credit Party in exercising any Right under the Loan Documents
will impair that Right or be construed as a waiver thereof or any acquiescence
therein, nor will any single or partial exercise of any Right preclude other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other Right under the Loan
Documents or otherwise.

         11.6 CUMULATIVE RIGHTS. All Rights available to the Credit Parties
under the Loan Documents are cumulative of and in addition to all other Rights
granted to the Credit Parties at law or in equity, whether or not the Obligation
is due and payable and whether or not Agents or Lenders have instituted any suit
for collection, foreclosure, or other action in connection with the Loan
Documents.

         11.7 APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. Any and all proceeds ever received by any
Credit Party from the exercise of any Rights pertaining to the Obligation shall
be applied to the Obligation according to SECTION 3.11.

         11.8 CERTAIN PROCEEDINGS. Borrowers shall promptly execute and deliver,
or cause the execution and delivery of, all applications, certificates,
instruments, and all other documents and papers Administrative Agent reasonably
requests in connection with the obtaining of any consent, approval,
registration, qualification, permit, license, or authorization of any
Governmental Authority or other Person necessary or appropriate for the
effective exercise of any Rights under the Loan Documents. Because Borrowers
agree

                                       49
<PAGE>

that Agents' and Lenders' remedies at law for failure of Borrowers to comply
with the provisions of this paragraph would be inadequate and that failure would
not be adequately compensable in damages, Borrowers agree that the covenants of
this SECTION 11.8 may be specifically enforced.

                                   SECTION 12

                               AGENTS AND LENDERS

         12.1 AGENTS.

         (a) APPOINTMENT. Each Lender appoints Administrative Agent (including,
without limitation, each successor Agent in accordance with this SECTION 12) as
its nominee and agent to act in its name and on its behalf (and Administrative
Agent and each such successor accepts that appointment): (i) to act as its
nominee and on its behalf in and under all Loan Documents; (ii) to arrange the
means whereby its funds are to be made available to Borrowers under the Loan
Documents; (iii) to take any action that it properly requests under the Loan
Documents (subject to the concurrence of other Lenders as may be required under
the Loan Documents); (iv) to receive all documents and items to be furnished to
it under the Loan Documents; (v) to be the secured party, mortgagee,
beneficiary, recipient, and similar party in respect of any collateral, for the
benefit of Lenders; (vi) to promptly distribute to it all Financial Statements,
Borrowing Base Reports, notices received hereunder, and other items specifically
required to be delivered to it hereunder, and, upon request, such other material
information, requests, documents, and items received under the Loan Documents;
(vii) to promptly distribute to it its ratable part of each payment or
prepayment (whether voluntary, as proceeds of collateral upon or after
foreclosure, as proceeds of insurance thereon, or otherwise) in accordance with
the terms of the Loan Documents; and (viii) to deliver to the appropriate
Persons requests, demands, approvals, and consents received from it. However,
Administrative Agent may not be required to take any action that exposes it to
personal liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable
Governmental Requirement.

         (b) SUCCESSOR. Administrative Agent may assign all of its Rights and
obligations as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents to any of its
Affiliates, which Affiliate shall then be the successor Administrative Agent
under the Loan Documents. Administrative Agent may also voluntarily resign by
giving thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Borrowers and Lenders, and
shall resign upon the request of the Required Lenders for cause (i.e.,
Administrative Agent is continuing to fail to perform its responsibilities as
Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents). If the initial or any successor
Administrative Agent ever ceases to be a party to this Agreement or if the
initial or any successor Administrative Agent ever resigns (whether voluntarily
or at the request of the Required Lenders), then the Required Lenders shall
(which, if no Default or Potential Default exists, is subject to Borrowers'
approval that may not be unreasonably withheld) appoint the successor
Administrative Agent from among Lenders (other than the resigning Administrative
Agent). If the Required Lenders fail to appoint a successor Administrative Agent
within thirty (30) days after the resigning Administrative Agent has given
notice of resignation or the Required Lenders have removed the resigning
Administrative Agent, then the resigning Administrative Agent may, on behalf of
Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent (which, if no Default or
Potential Default exists, is subject to Borrowers' approval that may not be
unreasonably withheld), which must be a commercial bank or other licensed
financial institution having a combined capital and surplus of at least
$1,000,000,000 (as shown on its most recently published statement of condition)
and whose debt obligations (or whose parent's debt obligations) are rated not
less than Baa1 by Moody's or BBB+ by S & P. Upon its acceptance of appointment
as successor Administrative Agent, the successor Administrative Agent succeeds
to and becomes vested with all of the Rights of the prior Administrative Agent,
and the prior Administrative Agent is discharged from its duties and obligations
of Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, and each Lender shall execute
the documents that any Lender, the resigning or removed

                                       50
<PAGE>

Administrative Agent, or the successor Administrative Agent reasonably request
to reflect the change. After any Administrative Agent's resignation or removal
as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section
inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or not taken by it while it was
Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. If Borrowers fail to respond to
any written request for any consent required in this SECTION 12.1(B) within five
(5) Business Days after the date that Borrowers receive such request, then
Borrowers shall be deemed to have given its consent to such request.

         (c) RIGHTS AS LENDER. Each Agent, in its capacity as a Lender, has the
same Rights under the Loan Documents as any other Lender and may exercise those
Rights as if it were not acting as an Agent. The term "LENDER," unless the
context otherwise indicates, includes Agents. Administrative Agent's resignation
or removal does not impair or otherwise affect any Rights that it has or may
have in its capacity as an individual Lender. Each Lender and Borrowers agree
that Agents are not a fiduciary for Lenders or for Borrowers but are simply
acting in the capacities described in this Agreement to alleviate administrative
burdens for Borrowers and Lenders, that Agents have no duties or
responsibilities to Lenders or Borrowers except those expressly set forth in the
Loan Documents, and that each Agent in its capacity as a Lender has the same
Rights as any other Lender.

         (d) OTHER ACTIVITIES. Any Credit Party may now or in the future be
engaged in one or more loan, letter of credit, leasing, or other financing
transactions with Borrowers or another Company, act as trustee or depositary for
Borrowers or another Company, or otherwise be engaged in other transactions with
Borrowers (collectively, the "OTHER ACTIVITIES") not the subject of the Loan
Documents. Without limiting the Rights of Lenders specifically set forth in the
Loan Documents, no Credit Party is responsible to account to the other Credit
Parties for those other activities, and no Credit Party shall have any interest
in any other Credit Party's activities, any present or future guaranties by or
for the account of Borrowers that are not contemplated by or included in the
Loan Documents, any present or future offset exercised by any Credit Party in
respect of those other activities, any present or future Property taken as
security for any of those other activities, or any Property now or hereafter in
any Credit Party's possession or control that may be or become security for the
obligations of Borrowers arising under the Loan Documents by reason of the
general description of indebtedness secured or of Property contained in any
other agreements, documents, or instruments related to any of those other
activities (but, if any payments in respect of those guaranties or that Property
or the proceeds thereof is applied by any Credit Party to reduce the Obligation,
then each Lender is entitled to share ratably in the application as provided in
the Loan Documents).

         (e) DOCUMENTATION AGENT. Documentation Agent, solely in such capacity,
shall have no Rights, duties, or obligations hereunder, except as specifically
provided in this Agreement. Documentation Agent (a) may voluntarily resign by
notice to Administrative Agent, Lenders, and Borrowers, and (b) shall resign
upon the request of the Required Lenders for cause. Upon the resignation of
Documentation Agent, the Required Lenders may elect to designate a successor
Documentation Agent (which, if no Default or Potential Default exists, is
subject to Borrowers' approval that may not be unreasonably withheld), which
must be a Lender who is a commercial bank or other licensed financial
institution having a combined capital and surplus of at least $1,000,000,000 (as
shown on its most recently published statement of condition) and whose debt
obligations (or whose parent's debt obligations) are rated not less than Baa1 by
Moody's or BBB+ by S & P.

         (f) SYNDICATION AGENT. Syndication Agent, solely in such capacity,
shall have no Rights, duties, or obligations hereunder, except as specifically
provided in this Agreement. Syndication Agent (a) may voluntarily resign by
notice to Administrative Agent, Lenders, and Borrowers, and (b) shall resign
upon the request of the Required Lenders for cause. Upon the resignation of
Syndication Agent, the Required Lenders may elect to designate a successor
Syndication Agent (which, if no Default or Potential Default exists, is subject
to Borrowers' approval that may not be unreasonably withheld), which must be a
Lender who is a commercial bank or other licensed financial institution having a
combined capital and surplus of at least

                                       51
<PAGE>

$1,000,000,000 (as shown on its most recently published statement of condition)
and whose debt obligations (or whose parent's debt obligations) are rated not
less than Baa1 by Moody's or BBB+ by S & P.

         (g) CO-AGENTS. Co-Agents, solely in such capacity, shall have no
Rights, duties, or obligations hereunder, except as specifically provided in
this Agreement.

         12.2 EXPENSES. Should Administrative Agent commence any proceeding or
in any way seek to enforce its Rights under the Loan Documents, irrespective of
whether as a result thereof Administrative Agent shall acquire title to any
collateral, either through foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, or
otherwise, each Lender, upon demand therefor from time to time, shall contribute
its share (based on its Pro Rata Share) of the reasonable costs and/or expenses
of any such enforcement or acquisition, including, but not limited to, fees of
receivers or trustees, court costs, title company charges, filing and recording
fees, appraisers' fees and fees and expenses of attorneys to the extent not
otherwise reimbursed by Borrowers. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, each Lender shall contribute its share (based on its Pro Rata Share)
of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent (including
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) if Administrative Agent employs counsel
for advice or other representation (whether or not any suit has been or shall be
filed) with respect to any collateral or any part thereof, or any of the Loan
Documents, or the attempt to enforce any Lien in any of the collateral, or to
enforce any Rights of Administrative Agent or any of Borrowers' or any other
Company's obligations under any of the Loan Documents, but not with respect to
any dispute between Administrative Agent and any other Lender(s). Any loss of
principal and interest resulting from any Default shall be shared by Lenders in
accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share. It is understood and agreed
that if Administrative Agent determines that it is necessary to engage counsel
for Lenders from and after the occurrence of a Potential Default or Default,
then said counsel shall be selected by Administrative Agent and written notice
of the same shall be delivered to Lenders.

         12.3 PROPORTIONATE ABSORPTION OF LOSSES. Except as otherwise provided
in the Loan Documents, nothing in the Loan Documents gives any Lender any
advantage over any other Lender insofar as the Obligation is concerned or
relieves any Lender from ratably absorbing any losses sustained with respect to
the Obligation (except to the extent unilateral actions or inactions by any
Lender result in Borrowers or any other Company on the Obligation having any
credit, allowance, setoff, defense, or counterclaim solely with respect to all
or any part of that Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Obligation).

         12.4 DELEGATION OF DUTIES; RELIANCE. Lenders may perform any of their
duties or exercise any of their Rights under the Loan Documents by or through
any Agent, and Lenders and any Agent may perform any of their duties or exercise
any of their Rights under the Loan Documents by or through their respective
Representatives. Each Agent, Lenders, and their respective Representatives (a)
are entitled to rely upon (and shall be protected in relying upon) any written
or oral statement believed by it or them to be genuine and correct and to have
been signed or made by the proper Person and, with respect to legal matters,
upon opinion of counsel selected by such Agent or that Lender (but nothing in
this CLAUSE (A) permits any Agent to rely on (i) oral statements if a writing is
required by this Agreement or (ii) any other writing if a specific writing is
required by this Agreement), (b) are entitled to deem and treat each Lender as
the owner and holder of its portion of the Obligation for all purposes until
written notice of the assignment or transfer is given to and received by
Administrative Agent (and any request, authorization, consent, or approval of
any Lender is conclusive and binding on each subsequent holder, assignee, or
transferee of or Participant in that Lender's portion of the Obligation until
that notice is given and received), (c) are not deemed to have notice of the
occurrence of a Default unless a Responsible Officer of such Agent, who handles
matters associated with the Loan Documents and transactions thereunder, has
actual knowledge or such Agent has been notified by a Lender or Borrowers, and
(d) are entitled to consult with legal counsel (including counsel for
Borrowers),

                                       52
<PAGE>

independent accountants, and other experts selected by such Agent and are not
liable for any action taken or not taken in good faith by it in accordance with
the advice of counsel, accountants, or experts.

         12.5     LIMITATION OF AGENTS' LIABILITY.

         (a) EXCULPATION. No Agent nor any of their Affiliates or
Representatives will be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it
or them under the Loan Documents in good faith and believed by it or them to be
within the discretion or power conferred upon it or them by the Loan Documents
or be responsible for the consequences of any error of judgment (except for
fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct), and no Agent nor any of its
Affiliates or Representatives has a fiduciary relationship with any Lender by
virtue of the Loan Documents (but nothing in this Agreement negates the
obligation of Administrative Agent to account for funds received by it for the
account of any Lender).

         (b) INDEMNITY. Unless indemnified to its satisfaction against loss,
cost, liability, and expense, no Agent may be compelled to do any act under the
Loan Documents or to take any action toward the execution or enforcement of the
powers thereby created or to prosecute or defend any suit in respect of the Loan
Documents. If an Agent requests instructions from Lenders, or the Required
Lenders, as the case may be, with respect to any act or action in connection
with any Loan Document, then such Agent is entitled to refrain (without
incurring any liability to any Person by so refraining) from that act or action
unless and until it has received instructions. In no event, however, may any
Agent or any of its Representatives be required to take any action that it or
they determine could incur for it or them criminal or onerous civil liability.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Lender has any Right of
action against any Agent as a result of such Agent's acting or refraining from
acting under this Agreement in accordance with instructions of the Required
Lenders.

         (c) RELIANCE. No Agent is responsible to any Lender or any Participant
for, and each Lender represents and warrants that it has not relied upon any
Agent in respect of, (i) the creditworthiness of any Company and the risks
involved to that Lender, (ii) the effectiveness, enforceability, genuineness,
validity, or the due execution of any Loan Document (EXCEPT by such Agent),
(iii) any representation, warranty, document, certificate, report, or statement
made therein (EXCEPT by such Agent) or furnished thereunder or in connection
therewith, (iv) the adequacy of any collateral now or hereafter securing the
Obligation or the existence, priority, or perfection of any Lien now or
hereafter granted or purported to be granted on any collateral under any Loan
Document, or (v) observation of or compliance with any of the terms, covenants,
or conditions of any Loan Document on the part of any Company. EACH LENDER
AGREES TO INDEMNIFY EACH AGENT AND ITS REPRESENTATIVES AND HOLD THEM HARMLESS
FROM AND AGAINST (BUT LIMITED TO SUCH LENDER'S PRO RATA SHARE OF) ANY AND ALL
LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, ACTIONS, JUDGMENTS, SUITS,
COSTS, REASONABLE EXPENSES, AND REASONABLE DISBURSEMENTS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE
WHATSOEVER THAT MAY BE IMPOSED ON, ASSERTED AGAINST, OR INCURRED BY THEM IN ANY
WAY RELATING TO OR ARISING OUT OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY ACTION TAKEN OR
OMITTED BY THEM UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS IF SUCH AGENT AND ITS REPRESENTATIVES
ARE NOT REIMBURSED FOR SUCH AMOUNTS BY ANY COMPANY. ALTHOUGH EACH AGENT AND ITS
REPRESENTATIVES HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE INDEMNIFIED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR ITS OR
THEIR OWN ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE, EACH AGENT AND ITS REPRESENTATIVES DO NOT HAVE
THE RIGHT TO BE INDEMNIFIED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR ITS OR THEIR OWN FRAUD,
GROSS NEGLIGENCE, OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

         12.6 DEFAULT. While a Default exists, Lenders agree to promptly confer
in order that the Required Lenders or Lenders, as the case may be, may agree
upon a course of action for the enforcement of the Rights of Lenders. Each Agent
is entitled to act or refrain from taking any action (without incurring any
liability

                                       53
<PAGE>

to any Person for so acting or refraining) unless and until it has received
instructions from the Required Lenders.

         12.7 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. No Lender or any Participant will incur
any liability to any other Lender or Participant except for acts or omissions in
bad faith, and neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender or Participant will
incur any liability to any other Person for any act or omission of any other
Lender or any Participant.

         12.8 RELATIONSHIP OF LENDERS. The Loan Documents do not create a
partnership or joint venture among the Credit Parties.

         12.9 BENEFITS OF AGREEMENT. None of the provisions of this SECTION
inure to the benefit of any Company or any other Person EXCEPT the Credit
Parties. Therefore, no Company nor any other Person is responsible or liable
for, entitled to rely upon, or entitled to raise as a defense -- in any manner
whatsoever -- the failure of any Credit Party to comply with these provisions.

         12.10    APPROVAL OF LENDERS.

         (a) All communications from Administrative Agent to Lenders requesting
Lenders' determination, consent, approval, or disapproval (i) shall be given in
the form of a written notice to each Lender, (ii) shall be accompanied by a
description of the matter or thing as to which such determination, approval,
consent, or disapproval is requested, or shall advise each Lender where such
matter or thing may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or
issue to be resolved, (iii) shall include, if reasonably requested by a Lender
and to the extent not previously provided to such Lender, written materials and
a summary of all oral information provided to Administrative Agent by Borrowers
in respect of the matter or issue to be resolved, and (iv) shall include
Administrative Agent's recommended course of action or determination in respect
thereof. Each Lender shall reply promptly, but in any event (x) within thirty
(30) days (or such lesser period as may be required under the Loan Documents for
Administrative Agent to respond) for those matters requiring the consent by all
Lenders, and (y) within fifteen (15) Business Days (or such lesser period as may
be required under the Loan Documents for Administrative Agent to respond) for
those matters requiring the consent by the Required Lenders, in each instance,
after receipt of the request therefore by Administrative Agent (in either event,
the "LENDER REPLY PERIOD").

         (b) If the Lender Reply Period is conspicuously set forth in a written
notice from Administrative Agent to a Lender, then unless such Lender shall give
written notice to Administrative Agent that it objects to the recommendation or
determination of Administrative Agent within the Lender Reply Period, such
Lender shall be deemed to have approved of or consented to such recommendation
or determination if such written notice from Administrative Agent shall
conspicuously state that such approval or consent shall be deemed given unless a
response is received within the Lender Reply Period.

                                   SECTION 13

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         13.1 HEADINGS. The headings, captions and arrangements used in any of
the Loan Documents are, unless specified otherwise, for convenience only and
shall not be deemed to limit, amplify, or modify the terms of the Loan
Documents, nor affect the meaning thereof.

         13.2 NONBUSINESS DAYS; TIME. Any payment or action that is due under
any Loan Document on a non-Business Day may be delayed until the next-succeeding
Business Day (but interest shall continue

                                       54
<PAGE>

to accrue on any applicable payment until payment is in fact made) unless the
payment concerns a Eurodollar Borrowing, in which case if the next-succeeding
Business Day is in the next calendar month, then such payment shall be made on
the next-preceding Business Day.

         13.3 COMMUNICATIONS. Unless otherwise specifically provided, whenever
any Loan Document requires or permits any consent, approval, notice, request,
demand, or other communication from one party to another, communication must be
in writing (which may be by telex or telecopy) to be effective and shall be
deemed to have been given (a) if by telex, when transmitted to the appropriate
telex number and the appropriate answerback is received, (b) if by telecopy,
when transmitted to the appropriate telecopy number (and all communications sent
by telecopy must be confirmed promptly thereafter by telephone; but any
requirement in this parenthetical shall not affect the date when the telecopy
shall be deemed to have been delivered), (c) if by mail, on the fifth (5th)
Business Day after it is enclosed in an envelope and properly addressed,
stamped, sealed, certified mail, return receipt requested, and deposited in the
appropriate official postal service, or (d) if by any other means, when actually
delivered. Until changed by notice pursuant to this Agreement, the address (and
telecopy number) for each party to a Loan Document is set forth on SCHEDULE 1.

         13.4 FORM AND NUMBER OF DOCUMENTS. The form, substance, and number of
counterparts of each writing to be furnished under this Agreement must be
satisfactory to Agents and their counsel.

         13.5 SURVIVAL. All covenants, agreements, undertakings,
representations, and warranties made in any of the Loan Documents survive all
closings under the Loan Documents and, except as otherwise indicated, are not
affected by any investigation made by any party.

         13.6 GOVERNING LAW. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN A LOAN DOCUMENT,
THE GOVERNMENTAL REQUIREMENTS (OTHER THAN CONFLICT-OF-LAWS PROVISIONS) OF THE
STATE OF TEXAS AND OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA GOVERN THE RIGHTS AND DUTIES
OF THE PARTIES TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE VALIDITY, CONSTRUCTION,
ENFORCEMENT, AND INTERPRETATION OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.

         13.7 INVALID PROVISIONS. Any provision in any Loan Document held to be
illegal, invalid, or unenforceable is fully severable; the appropriate Loan
Document shall be construed and enforced as if that provision had never been
included; and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect and
shall not be affected by the severed provision. Agents, Lenders, and Borrowers
agree to negotiate, in good faith, the terms of a replacement provision as
similar to the severed provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and
enforceable. However, if the provision held to be illegal, invalid, or
unenforceable is a material part of this Agreement, such invalid, illegal, or
unenforceable provision shall be, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
replaced by a clause or provision judicially construed and interpreted to be as
similar in substance and content to the original terms of such illegal, invalid,
or unenforceable clause or provision as the context thereof would reasonably
allow, so that such clause or provision would thereafter be legal, valid, and
enforceable.

         13.8 VENUE; SERVICE OF PROCESS; JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY TO ANY LOAN
DOCUMENT, IN EACH CASE FOR ITSELF, ITS SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS (AND IN THE CASE
OF BORROWERS, FOR EACH OF ITS CONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES), (a) IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS
TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS OF THE STATE OF
TEXAS, (b) IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY
OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY
LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE
OBLIGATION BROUGHT IN DISTRICT COURTS OF DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS, OR IN THE UNITED
STATES DISTRICT COURT IN DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS, (c) IRREVOCABLY WAIVES

                                       55
<PAGE>

ANY CLAIMS THAT ANY LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS HAS
BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM, (d) IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE
OF PROCESS OUT OF ANY OF THOSE COURTS IN ANY LITIGATION BY THE MAILING OF COPIES
THEREOF BY CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, POSTAGE PREPAID, BY
HAND-DELIVERY, OR BY DELIVERY BY A NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED COURIER SERVICE, AND
SERVICE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETE UPON DELIVERY OF THE LEGAL PROCESS AT ITS
ADDRESS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, (e) IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ANY LEGAL
PROCEEDING AGAINST ANY PARTY TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT ARISING OUT OF OR IN
CONNECTION WITH THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE OBLIGATION MAY BE BROUGHT IN ONE OF
THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS, AND (f) IRREVOCABLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY LAW, ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF
ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN DOCUMENT. The scope of each of the
foregoing waivers is intended to be all-encompassing of any and all disputes
that may be filed in any court and that relate to the subject matter of this
transaction, including contract claims, tort claims, breach of duty claims, and
all other common law and statutory claims. Each Borrower (for itself and on
behalf of each of its Consolidated Affiliates) acknowledges that these waivers
are a material inducement to each Credit Party's agreement to enter into a
business relationship, that each Credit Party has already relied on these
waivers in entering into this Agreement, and that each Credit Party will
continue to rely on each of these waivers in related future dealings. Each
Borrower (for itself and on behalf of each of its Consolidated Affiliates)
further warrants and represents that it has reviewed these waivers with its
legal counsel, and that it knowingly and voluntarily agrees to each waiver
following consultation with legal counsel. THE WAIVERS IN THIS SECTION 13.8 ARE
IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT THEY MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING,
AND THESE WAIVERS SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTS, OR
REPLACEMENTS TO OR OF THIS OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT. In the event of
Litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the
court.

         13.9     AMENDMENTS, CONSENTS, CONFLICTS, AND WAIVERS.

         (a) REQUIRED LENDERS. Unless otherwise specifically provided, the
provisions of this Agreement may be amended, modified, or waived, only by an

supplemented only by documents delivered or to be delivered in accordance with
the express terms of this Agreement.

         (b) ALL LENDERS. Except as specifically otherwise provided in this
SECTION 13.9, any amendment to or consent or waiver under this Agreement or any
Loan Document that purports to accomplish any of the following must be by an

case may be) by each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender): (i) extends the

<PAGE>

to take any action under this SECTION or any other provision of this Agreement;
or (x) changes this SECTION 13.9(B) or any other matter specifically requiring
the consent of all Lenders under this Agreement.

         (c) AGENTS OR ISSUING BANK. Any amendment or supplement to, or waiver
or consent under, any Loan Document that purports to accomplish any of the
following must be by a writing executed by Borrowers and executed (or approved
in writing, as the case may be) by the affected Agent or Issuing Bank, as the

         (d) LCS. Any LC may be renewed, extended, amended, replaced, or
canceled consistent with the terms of this Agreement by a writing executed by
Issuing Bank and Borrowers if such writing is first approved in writing by
Administrative Agent.

         (e) CONFLICTS. Any conflict or ambiguity between the terms and
provisions of this Agreement and terms and provisions in any other Loan Document
is controlled by the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

         (f) COURSE OF DEALING. No course of dealing or any failure or delay by
any Credit Party or any of its Representatives with respect to exercising any
Right of any Credit Party under this Agreement operates as a waiver thereof. A
waiver must be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders or Lenders, as
appropriate, to be effective, and a waiver will be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it is given.

         13.10 MULTIPLE COUNTERPARTS. Any Loan Document may be executed in a
number of identical counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original for
all purposes and all of which constitute, collectively, one agreement; but, in
making proof of thereof, it shall not be necessary to produce or account for
more than one counterpart. Each Lender need not execute the same counterpart of
this Agreement so long as identical counterparts are executed by each Borrower
and each Credit Party. This Agreement shall become effective when counterparts
of this Agreement have been executed and delivered to Administrative Agent by
each Credit Party and each Borrower, or, in the case only of Lenders, when
Administrative Agent has received telecopied, telexed, or other evidence
satisfactory to it that each Lender has executed and is delivering to
Administrative Agent a counterpart of this Agreement.

         13.11    ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS.

         (a) ASSIGNMENTS. Each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible
Assignees all or a portion of its Rights and obligations under this Agreement
(including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Borrowings, its Note,
and its Commitment); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that:

                  (i)  each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee;

                  (ii) except in the case of an assignment to an Affiliate of
         such Lender to another Lender or an assignment of all of a Lender's
         Rights and obligations under this Agreement, any such partial
         assignment shall be in an amount at least equal to $10,000,000 or a
         greater integral multiple of $1,000,000;

                                       57
<PAGE>

                  (iii) each such assignment by a Lender shall be of a constant,
         and not varying, percentage of all of its Rights and obligations under
         this Agreement and the Note; and

                  (iv) the parties to such assignment shall execute and deliver
         to Administrative Agent for its acceptance an Assignment and Acceptance
         (herein so called) in the form of EXHIBIT G, together with any Note
         subject to such assignment and, except for an assignment by a Lender to
         an Affiliate of such Lender, a processing fee of $3,500.

Upon execution, delivery, and acceptance of such Assignment and Acceptance, the
assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of such
assignment, have the obligations, Rights, and benefits of a Lender hereunder and
the assigning Lender shall, to the extent of such assignment, relinquish its
Rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement. Upon the
consummation of any assignment pursuant to this SECTION, the assignor,
Administrative Agent, and Borrowers shall make appropriate arrangements so that,
if required, new Notes are issued to the assignor and the assignee. If the
assignee is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a
state thereof, it shall deliver to Borrowers and Administrative Agent
certification as to exemption from deduction or withholding of Taxes in
accordance with SECTION 3.19.

         (b) REGISTER. Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address
referred to in SECTION 13.3, 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 Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the
Borrowings owing to, each Lender from time to time (the "REGISTER"). The entries
in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent
manifest error, and Borrowers and the Credit Parties may treat each Person whose
name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this
Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrowers or any
Credit Party at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior
notice.

         (c) ACCEPTANCE OF ASSIGNMENT. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and
Acceptance executed by the parties thereto, together with any Note subject to
such assignment and payment of the processing fee, Administrative Agent shall,
if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the
form of EXHIBIT G, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the
information contained therein in the Register, and (iii) give prompt notice
thereof to the parties thereto.

         (d) PARTICIPATIONS. Each Lender may sell participations to one or more
Persons in all or a portion of its Rights and obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Commitment and its Borrowings); PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that (i) such Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain
unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties
hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the participant shall be
entitled to the benefit of the yield protection provisions contained in SECTION
3.14 and the Right of setoff contained in SECTION 3.12, and (iv) Borrowers shall
continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such
Lender's Rights and obligations under this Agreement, and such Lender shall
retain the sole Right to enforce the obligations of Borrowers relating to its
Borrowings and its Note and to approve any amendment, modification, or waiver of
any provision of this Agreement (other than amendments, modifications, or
waivers decreasing the amount of principal of or the rate at which interest is
payable on such Borrowings or Note, waiving or decreasing any fees payable to
such Lender, extending any scheduled principal payment date or date fixed for
the payment of interest on such Borrowings or Note, or extending its
Commitment).

         (e) COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENTS. Notwithstanding any other provision set
forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time assign and pledge all or any
portion of its Borrowings and its Note to any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral
security pursuant to REGULATION A and any Operating Circular issued by such
Federal Reserve Bank. No such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from
its obligations hereunder.

                                       58
<PAGE>

         (f) INFORMATION. Any Lender may furnish any information concerning the
Companies in the possession of such Lender from time to time to assignees and
participants (including prospective assignees and participants); provided that
prior to the occurrence of a Default, such Lender shall obtain the consent of
Borrowers prior to furnishing any information to such assignees and participants
(such consent not to be unreasonably withheld).

         (g) RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. Documentation Agent agrees that if
Documentation Agent desires to assign all or a portion of its Rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a
portion of its Borrowings, its Note, and its Commitment), then prior to agreeing
to any such assignment, Documentation Agent shall give Administrative Agent
prior written notice thereof (including the terms and conditions for such
proposed assignment). Administrative Agent shall have the right to purchase any
such Rights and obligations from Documentation Agent on the same terms and
conditions by notifying Documentation Agent within ten (10) Business Days of
receipt of such notice. The assignment to Administrative Agent hereunder shall
be effected in accordance with the terms of this SECTION 13.11 (except that such
assignment shall not be subject to the processing fee described in (A)(IV)
above). The foregoing shall not apply to an assignment by Documentation Agent to
any Affiliate of Documentation Agent, PROVIDED THAT any such Affiliates agree
that it shall be subject to the provisions of this SECTION 13.11(G).

         (h) AGENTS. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
each Agent shall, at all times prior to its resignation or replacement as an
Agent hereunder, retain a minimum Commitment of $20,000,000 (or, if approved by
Borrower, $15,000,000), or if the Total Commitments have been terminated, then
Notes having outstanding Principal Debt of at least $20,000,000 (or, if approved
by Borrower, $15,000,000).

         13.12 DISCHARGE ONLY UPON PAYMENT IN FULL; REINSTATEMENT IN CERTAIN
CIRCUMSTANCES. Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents remain in full
force and effect until the Total Commitment is terminated and the Obligation is
paid in full (except for provisions under the Loan Documents which by their
terms expressly survive payment of the Obligation and termination of the Loan
Documents). If at any time any payment of the principal of or interest on any
Note or any other amount payable by Borrowers or any other obligor on the
Obligation under any Loan Document is rescinded or must be restored or returned
upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise,
then the obligations of Borrowers under the Loan Documents with respect to that
payment shall be reinstated as though the payment had been due but not made at
that time.

         13.13 ENTIRETY. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER WRITTEN LOAN DOCUMENTS
(EACH AS AMENDED IN WRITING FROM TIME TO TIME) EXECUTED BY BORROWERS AND/OR ANY
CREDIT PARTY REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT AMONG BORROWERS AND THE CREDIT
PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR
SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS BY THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL
AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES.

         13.14 AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT. The parties hereto agree that, on the
Closing Date, after all conditions precedent set forth herein have been
satisfied or waived:

         (a) the Obligation represents, among other things, the amendment,
extension, consolidation, and modification of the Obligations outstanding under
the Existing Agreement;

         (b) this Agreement is intended to, and does hereby, restate, renew,
extend, amend, modify, supersede, and replace the Existing Agreement; and

                                       59
<PAGE>

         (c) the Notes executed pursuant to this Agreement amend, renew, extend,
modify, replace, substitute, and supersede in their entirety (but do not
extinguish the Indebtedness arising under) the promissory notes issued pursuant
to the Existing Agreement.

         13.15 RESTATEMENT OF EXISTING CREDIT AGREEMENT. On the Closing Date,
(i) all outstanding Liabilities under the Existing Agreement owed to any
"LENDER" that is not continuing as a Lender under this Agreement (each a
"NON-CONTINUING LENDER") shall be repaid in full by Borrower and such
Non-Continuing Lender's commitment under the Existing Agreement shall be
terminated and (ii) with respect to Lenders which are continuing as Lenders
under this Agreement (the "CONTINUING LENDERS"), Administrative Agent shall make
appropriate allocations and adjustments in the initial funding instructions to
the Lenders to reflect the modifications effected by the Loan Documents to each
Continuing Lender's Commitment.
