Louis Radisson Hotel and (ii) for purposes of the financial covenants the

financial covenant calculations which utilize the Parent's EBITDA for the
Rolling Period ended March 31, 2002 and following Rolling Periods."

       11.    The definition of Leverage Ratio is amended by deleting the
semi-colon after the phrase "such date" in the third line thereof to a period
and deleting the balance of the definition.

       12.    A.     Borrower and Lender acknowledge the provisions of paragraph
18 of the Third Senior Amendment amending clause (f) of Section 6.04 of the
Senior Credit Agreement and agree that if Borrower is prevented from paying any
