	 	Re:	Modification of Master Agreement 

  
 Ladies and Gentlemen: 
  
 Reference is made to that certain Master Agreement dated as of October 26, 2004 (as assigned, assumed and amended, the “Master
Agreement”), by and among Sunstone Hotel Properties, Inc., a Colorado corporation (“Operator”), and each entity other than Operator which is a signatory to this letter agreement (each an “Owner” or collectively, the “Owners”). Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used
in this letter agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Master Agreement. 
  
 For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Operator and each Owner hereby agree as follows:

  
 (a) Effective as of July 1, 2005, Section 9.1 of
each Management Agreement and each Remaining Four Hotel Management Agreement (as defined below) is hereby modified to read in full as follows: 
  
 “9.1 Owner shall pay to Operator, on a monthly basis, for services rendered under this Agreement a management fee (the “Basic Fee”)
equal to: (i) for the period commencing on the Commencement Date and ending on December 31, 2005, 1.75% of Total Revenues; and (ii) for the period commencing on January 1, 2006 and for the remainder of the Term thereafter, 2.0%
of Total Revenues.” 
  
 (b) The following language is hereby
added to Schedule C to the Master Agreement: 
  
 “Commencing January 1, 2005, Owner and Operator acknowledge and agree that there shall be deemed added to the fees and reimbursements payable to Operator for Centralized Services an aggregate amount equal to the NBDO Shortfall (as
defined below), which amount shall be equitably allocated among the entities comprising Owner and the owners of the Four Hotels which are currently subject to management agreements with Operator (each a “Remaining Four Hotel Management
Agreement”). As used herein, “NBDO Shortfall” with respect to any applicable Fiscal Year (comprised of 12 full calendar months) shall mean the amount by which the aggregate compensation actually paid to National Business
Development Office Staff, exceeds the aggregate commissions earned (and in the 

 
case of the Portfolio Properties and the Four Hotels, actually paid during or within 90 days following the end of such Fiscal Year) on bookings sold by such
staff with respect to the Portfolio Properties, the Four Hotels and any and all other hotels owned and/or managed by Operator or its affiliates (it being understood and agreed that Operator shall cause such staff to actively market such other hotels
and charge comparable commissions to the owners thereof, which Operator agrees not to waive, defer or accept other consideration in lieu thereof). The NBDO Shortfall shall be equitably adjusted for any Fiscal Year which is less than 12 months.

  
 Except as modified hereby, the Master Agreement, each
Management Agreement and each Remaining Four Hotel Management Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. 
  
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Operator, each Owner and each Remaining Four Hotel Owner have executed this letter agreement effective as of July 1, 2005.

Released Properties, (b) authorizes and directs the Agent to continue to hold and maintain all of such funds in all of such Reserves on and after the date hereof in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Agreement, and
(c) agrees that such funds shall be applied to costs and expenses for the work described set forth on the PIP Budget for the New Property ground-leased by Sunstone Hartsfield, as set forth on Annex D attached hereto, which the Borrowers
covenant and agree to complete on or before December 31, 2006.

 11. No Other Modifications. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that, except as
provided in this Agreement, the Loan Agreement has not been modified, amended, canceled, terminated, released, superseded or otherwise rendered of no force or effect. 
  
 12. Confirmation and Ratification. The Loan Agreement as hereby amended is hereby ratified and confirmed by all of
the parties hereto, and every provision, covenant, condition, obligation, right, term and power contained in and under the Loan Agreement, as hereby amended, shall continue in full force and effect. 
  
 13. Governing Law; Incorporation by Reference. This Agreement and the
obligations arising hereunder shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Additionally, the terms and provisions of Section 11.19 of the Existing Loan Agreement are hereby
incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein. 
  
 14.
Borrower; Joint and Several Liability; Suretyship Waivers. It is intended by the parties hereto that each Borrower shall be liable, jointly and severally, for all of the obligations of the Borrowers hereunder and under the Loan Agreement.
Accordingly, each of Sunstone SH, Sunstone OP, Sun Manhattan, Sunstone Hartsfield, and Sunstone Broadhollow expressly agrees and acknowledges with each Lender and the Administrative Agent that: 
  
 a. It understands that the Lenders would not have made the
Loans or entered into this Agreement but for the agreement of each Borrower to be jointly and severally liable for each and every obligation of the Borrowers set forth herein and in the Loan Agreement, and it agrees that it has received sufficient
consideration for its agreement to be bound by and to the extent of the terms hereof. In particular, each Borrower is of the view that the financial accommodations offered to each Borrower under this Agreement and the Loan Agreement will enhance the
aggregate borrowing powers of the Borrowers, and that each Borrower and Borrower Party will receive substantial direct and/or indirect benefits by reason of the making of the Loans and other financial accommodations provided in the Loan Agreement,
and by reason of the execution and delivery of this Agreement. 
  
 b. In any provision of this Agreement or the Loan Agreement where any Borrower makes a representation or warranty, such representation or warranty shall constitute a separate representation or warranty made by each
Borrower as to the content and substance thereof. 
  
 c. In any provision of this Agreement or the Loan Agreement where any Borrower makes an agreement or covenant, such agreement or covenant shall be a separate agreement or covenant of each Borrower, and each such entity shall be jointly and
severally liable with each other such entity for the full and faithful performance thereof, without regard to whether (i) any Borrower shall have better rights to control or assure the performance of such agreement or covenant or (ii) such
agreement or covenant affects an Individual Property in which any Borrower does not have a direct interest. 
  
 d. An Event of Default may occur under the Loan Agreement and the Administrative Agent and Lenders shall be permitted to exercise their
remedies as stated 

  

 -9- 

 
in the Loan Agreement if any Borrower by its action or inaction causes an Event of Default to occur, and the lack of fault or breach by any other Borrower
shall neither serve nor be deemed to halt such Event of Default nor prevent, delay or impair any such exercise of remedies. 
  
 e. In exercising any remedies set forth in the Loan Agreement after an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent and Lenders shall be
permitted to exercise their remedies as stated in the Loan Agreement against any or all of the Borrowers, or none of them, as the Administrative Agent and Lenders shall determine in their sole and absolute discretion, and any lack of fault or lack
of breach by any Borrower shall not prevent, delay or impair the pursuit or implementation of any such remedies against them. 
  
 f. The obligations, covenants, agreements and duties of each Borrower under the Loan Documents shall in no way be discharged, affected or
impaired by any of the following: 
  
 i. the
waiver by Administrative Agent of the performance or observance by Borrower or any other party of any of the agreements, covenants, terms or conditions contained in the Loan Agreement; 
  
 ii. the extension, in whole or in part, of the time for payment by any Borrower of any sums owing or payable
under any Loan Document; 
  
 iii. any assumption
by any person of any or all of any Borrower’s obligations under any Loan Document; 
  
 iv. the waiver or release or modification or amendment (whether material or otherwise) of any provision of any Loan Document; 

 
 v. any failure, omission or delay on the part of
Administrative Agent to enforce, assert or exercise any right, power or remedy conferred on or available to Administrative Agent under any of the Loan Documents, or any action on the part of Administrative Agent granting indulgence or extension in
any form whatsoever; 
  
 vi. the voluntary or
involuntary liquidation, dissolution, sale of all or substantially all of the assets, marshaling of assets and liabilities, receivership, conservatorship, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization or other
similar proceeding affecting any Borrower or any of its assets or any impairment, modification, release or limitation of liability of any Borrower or any of their estates in bankruptcy or of any remedy for the enforcement of such liability resulting
from the operation of any present or future provision of the Federal Bankruptcy Code or other similar statute or from the decision of any court; 
  
 vii. the release of any Borrower from the performance or observance of any of the agreements, covenants, terms or conditions contained in
any of the Loan Documents by operation of law; 
  

 -10- 

 viii. the power or authority or lack thereof of any Borrower to execute, acknowledge or
deliver any of the Loan Documents; 
  
 ix. the
legality, validity or invalidity of any Loan Document; 
  
 x. any defenses whatsoever that Borrower may or might have to the payment of any portion of the Indebtedness except for the payment thereof; 
  
 xi. the existence or non-existence of any Borrower as a legal entity; 
  
 xii. any right of setoff, counterclaim or defense (other than payment in full of the Indebtedness in
accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents) that any Borrower may or might have to its respective undertakings, liabilities and obligations hereunder, each and every such defense being hereby waived by each Borrower; or 
  
 xiii. any other cause, whether similar or dissimilar to any
of the foregoing, that might constitute a legal or equitable discharge of any Borrower (whether or not such Borrower shall have knowledge or notice thereof) other than payment in full of the Indebtedness. 
  
 g. To the extent notwithstanding the above and the express
intent of the parties, if any Borrower is deemed to be a surety or guarantor of another Borrower, then the following shall apply: 
  
 i. Each Borrower understands and further acknowledges that if the Administrative Agent forecloses judicially or nonjudicially against any
real property securing the Loans, that foreclosure could impair or destroy any ability that such Borrower may have to seek reimbursement, contribution or indemnification from another Borrower or others based on any right such Borrower may have of
subrogation, reimbursement, contribution or indemnification for any amounts paid by such Borrower hereunder. Each Borrower further understands and acknowledges that in the absence of this provision, the potential impairment or destruction of such
Borrower’s rights, if any, may entitle such Borrower to assert a defense based on California Code of Civil Procedure (“CCP”) § 580d as interpreted in Union Bank v. Gradsky, to the extent applicable. Each Borrower freely,
irrevocably and unconditionally: (a) waives and relinquishes that defense, and agrees that such Borrower will be fully liable hereunder, even though the Administrative Agent may foreclose judicially or nonjudicially against the real property
securing the Loans; (b) agrees that such Borrower will not assert that defense in any action or proceeding that the Administrative Agent may commence to enforce the terms of the Loan Documents; (c) acknowledges and agrees that the rights
and defenses waived by such Borrower hereunder include any right or defense that such Borrower may have or be entitled to assert based upon or arising out of any one or more of the following (to the extent applicable): (i) CCP § 580a
(which, if such Borrower had not given this waiver, would otherwise limit such Borrower’s liability after any nonjudicial foreclosure sale to the difference between the obligations for which such Borrower is liable and the fair market value of
the property or interests sold at such nonjudicial foreclosure sale rather than the actual proceeds of such sale), (ii) CCP § 580b 

  

 -11- 

 
and CCP § 580d (which, if such Borrower had not given this waiver, would otherwise limit the Administrative Agent’s right to recover a deficiency
judgment with respect to purchase money obligations and after any nonjudicial foreclosure sale, respectively), (iii) CCP § 726 (which, if such Borrower had not given this waiver, among other things, would otherwise require the
Administrative Agent to exhaust all of its security before a personal judgment may be obtained for a deficiency), or (iv) California Civil Code § 2848 (which, if Borrower had not given this waiver, among other things, would entitle
Borrower to enforce every remedy the Administrative Agent may have against the Borrower for its payments hereunder); and (d) acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent is relying on this waiver in making the Loans, and that this
waiver is a material part of the consideration that the Administrative Agent is receiving for making the Loans. 
  
 h. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, EACH BORROWER WAIVES ALL RIGHTS AND DEFENSES THAT SUCH BORROWER MAY HAVE IN CONNECTION WITH THE
FOREGOING TERMS. THIS MEANS, AMONG OTHER THINGS: 
  
 i. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT MAY COLLECT FROM SUCH BORROWER WITHOUT FIRST FORECLOSING ON ANY REAL OR PERSONAL PROPERTY COLLATERAL PLEDGED BY THE BORROWER OR ANY OTHER BORROWER; AND 
  
 ii. IF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT FORECLOSES ON ANY REAL
PROPERTY COLLATERAL PLEDGED BY THE BORROWER OR ANY OTHER BORROWER: 
  
 a. THE AMOUNT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S CLAIM HEREUNDER MAY BE REDUCED ONLY BY THE PRICE FOR WHICH THAT COLLATERAL IS SOLD AT THE FORECLOSURE SALE, EVEN IF THE COLLATERAL IS WORTH MORE THAN THE SALE PRICE;
AND 
  
 b. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT MAY COLLECT
FROM SUCH BORROWER EVEN IF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, BY FORECLOSING ON THE REAL PROPERTY COLLATERAL, HAS DESTROYED ANY RIGHT SUCH BORROWER MAY HAVE TO COLLECT FROM ANY OTHER BORROWER. 
  
 i. THIS IS AN UNCONDITIONAL AND IRREVOCABLE WAIVER OF ANY RIGHTS AND DEFENSES THE BORROWERS MAY HAVE IN
CONNECTION WITH THE LOANS. THESE RIGHTS AND DEFENSES INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, ANY RIGHTS OR DEFENSES BASED UPON CCP §§ 580a, 580b, 580d, OR 726 (TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE). 
  
 15. No Waiver of Remedies. Subject to the terms and agreements
contained in this Agreement, the Loan Agreement remains unmodified and in full force and effect, and this 

  

 -12- 

 
Agreement shall not be deemed to be a waiver by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any default or Event of Default under the Loan Agreement or a
waiver by the Administrative Agent or any Lender any of its rights or remedies under the under the Loan Agreement or any Loan Document or under applicable law. 
  

16. Amendment of Section 2.7 of Loan Agreement. The second sentence of Section 2.7(2)(viii) of the Loan Agreement is hereby deleted, and the
following is substituted in lieu thereof: 
  
 If the outstanding
principal balance of the Loans following such prepayment is less than $30,000,000 or if there are four or fewer Individual Properties then owned by the Borrowers and encumbered by the Mortgages securing the Loans, the Administrative Agent (on behalf
of the Lenders) may, in its sole and absolute discretion, accelerate the Loans and require the Borrowers to repay the Loans in full, together with all applicable Prepayment Fees as a condition to the release of the Mortgage encumbering the Release
Property being sold by any Borrower. Furthermore, if the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) elect not to accelerate the Loans in accordance with the preceding sentence and if one of such remaining Individual Properties is the Individual
Property located in Huntington, New York, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to (and, at the request of any Lender, shall) reallocate the Allocated Loan Amounts among such remaining Individual Properties, and the Borrowers and
Administrative Agent agree to execute any amendments, agreements and any other documents reasonably necessary or appropriate to effect such reallocation.
