ITEM 1. BUSINESS
 
(a) GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS
 
  ABOUT BOYKIN LODGING COMPANY AND ITS STRATEGIES
 
    Boykin Lodging Company, an Ohio corporation, is a real estate investment
trust that owns hotels throughout the United States and leases its properties to
established hotel operators. Our primary business strategies are:
 
    - acquiring upscale, full-service commercial and resort hotels that will
      increase our cash flow and are purchased at a discount to their
      replacement cost;
 
    - developing strategic alliances and relationships with a network of
      high-quality hotel operators and franchisors of the hotel industry's
      premier upscale brands; and
 
    - maximizing revenue growth in our hotels through -
 
       - strong management performance from our lessee/operators;
 
       - selective renovation;
 
       - expansion and development; and
 
       - brand repositioning.
 
                                       1
<PAGE>
    Our management has substantial hotel operating, development, acquisition and
transactional experience. Our officers have over 100 years combined experience
in the hotel industry and have directly overseen the acquisition, disposition,
recapitalization, development and repositioning of over a billion dollars of
hotel assets throughout the United States.
 
  FORMATION AND INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
 
    Boykin was formed to continue and expand the hotel ownership, acquisition,
redevelopment and repositioning activities of its predecessors, Boykin
Management Company and its affiliates (the "Boykin Group"). We have been in the
hotel business for 40 years. We completed our initial public offering ("IPO") in
November 1996. In conjunction with our IPO, we contributed approximately $133.9
million to Boykin Hotel Properties, L.P., an Ohio limited partnership (the
"Partnership"), in exchange for an approximate 84.5% equity interest as the sole
general partner of the Partnership and we loaned $40 million to the Partnership
in exchange for an intercompany convertible note. The Partnership then acquired
nine hotel properties (the "Initial Hotels") in which the Boykin Group held
significant ownership interests, seven of which the Boykin Group developed and
has owned and managed since their opening. We do all our business through the
Partnership.
 
  MAJOR EVENTS SINCE THE IPO
 
    - Since the IPO, consistent with our strategies, we have acquired 22 hotels
      containing 6,281 guest rooms, bringing the total number of hotels we own
      as of December 31, 1998 to 31 hotels with a total of 8,689 guest rooms.
      During this period, we established new strategic alliances with five high
      quality hotel lessee/operators and two premier franchisors. We also made
      significant renovations at seven of our hotels and reflagged/repositioned
      three hotels. In 1998 and 1997, we spent $32.5 million and $13.5 million,
      respectively, on renovations. This represented 14 percent and 11 percent
      of 1998 and 1997 hotel revenues, respectively, significantly above the
      hotel industry standard of four percent.
 
    - Since the IPO, we increased our debt capacity from a $75 million secured
      credit facility to a $250 million unsecured facility. In 1998, we also put
      in place $130 million of term debt at a fixed interest rate of 6.9% for
      ten years.
 
    - On February 24, 1998, we completed a follow-on public equity offering of
      4.5 million common shares. The net proceeds were approximately $106.3
      million, which we contributed to the Partnership, increasing our ownership
      percentage therein to 90.3%. We used the proceeds to repay existing
      indebtedness under our credit facility, purchase limited partnership units
      from two unaffiliated limited partners, fund the acquisitions of two
      hotels purchased in March 1998 and for general corporate purposes.
 
    - On May 22, 1998 we completed our merger with Red Lion Inns Limited
      Partnership, in which we acquired Red Lion Inns Operating L.P. ("OLP")
      which owns a portfolio of ten DoubleTree-licensed hotels. These hotels
      contain 3,062 guest rooms and are located in California, Oregon,
      Washington, Colorado, Idaho, and Nebraska. The DoubleTree hotels, which
      formerly operated as "Red Lion Hotels" or "Red Lion Inns," were reflagged
      to operate as DoubleTree hotels in June 1997.
 
      In the transaction, we issued 3.1 million common shares and paid
      approximately $35.3 million in cash to the Red Lion limited partners and
      general partner. The total consideration value, including assumed
      liabilities of approximately $155.7 million and common shares issued
      valued at $80.3 million, was $271.3 million. The issuance of Boykin's
      common shares in the merger had the impact of increasing our ownership
      percentage in the Partnership to 92.2%.
 
    - On February 1, 1999, we formed a joint venture with AEW Partners III, L.P.
      (AEW), an investment partnership managed by AEW Capital Management, L.P.,
      a Boston-based real estate investment firm that manages a portfolio of
      approximately $6 billion. This joint venture provides us with the
 
                                       2
<PAGE>
      ability to continue our acquisition and growth strategies with private
      capital at a time when public capital sources are limited, and when we
      expect to see attractive buying opportunities. AEW will provide $50
      million of equity capital for the joint venture, and Boykin will provide
      approximately $17 million and serve as the operating partner of the joint
      venture.
 
(b) FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT INDUSTRY SEGMENTS
 
    All of Boykin Lodging's operations are in the hotel industry.
 
(c) NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
    Our primary business objectives are to maximize current returns to our
shareholders by increasing cash flow available for distribution and long-term
total returns to shareholders through appreciation in value of our common
shares. We seek to achieve these objectives through participation in increased
revenues from our hotels pursuant to lease agreements with tenants that provide
us with the greater of a base rental income or a percentage of revenues from
hotel operations. We also seek to achieve these objectives by selective
acquisition, ownership, redevelopment, repositioning and expansion of additional
hotel properties as well as timely disposition of non-strategic assets. We will
seek to continue to invest in properties at which our established industry and
marketing expertise will enable us to improve the acquired hotels' performance.
 
  BOYKIN'S HOTEL PORTFOLIO
 
    Our hotel portfolio includes 29 full-service hotels and two limited-service
hotels, all of which compete in the upscale to moderate price segment of the
hospitality market. For the year ended December 31, 1998, our hotels had an
average occupancy rate of 65.1%, an average daily rate ("ADR") of $90.23 and
revenue per available room ("REVPAR") of $58.72. Refer to Item 2(a) "Hotel
Properties" on page 11 for a listing of our hotels. Also refer to Item 7 -
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" on page 22 for a chart of hotel operating data for 1998 and 1997.
 
  HOW BOYKIN APPLIES ITS BUSINESS STRATEGIES
 
A.  ACQUISITIONS
 
    We believe that the upscale and moderate market segments of the hospitality
industry continue to present attractive acquisition opportunities on a selective
basis. Our acquisition strategy focuses on the following categories:
 
    - PRODUCT TYPE -- Full-service commercial hotels, airport hotels, major
      tourist hotels and destination resorts in major markets and business
      centers.
 
    - MARKET REPOSITIONING OPPORTUNITIES -- Undervalued hotels whose occupancy,
      daily rates and overall revenues can be significantly enhanced through new
      brand affiliations and/or implementation of new marketing strategies which
      will maximize revenues and profitability.
 
    - REDEVELOPMENT AND RENOVATION OPPORTUNITIES -- Hotels with sound
      operational fundamentals that, because of a lack of capital, require
      physical renovation to achieve their full performance potential, and other
      properties which can benefit from total redevelopment and market
      repositioning.
 
    - PORTFOLIO ACQUISITIONS -- Portfolios of hotels which result in geographic
      economies of scale or which may be leased back to proven hotel operators
      as additional lessees, and that may benefit from our repositioning and
      redevelopment experience and access to capital.
 
    We intend to maintain a geographically diversified hotel portfolio and may
also cluster hotels within certain primary markets in order to take advantage of
operational and managerial economies of scale. We will acquire or develop
additional hotel properties only as suitable opportunities arise, and will not
undertake acquisition or development of properties unless adequate sources of
capital and financing are
 
                                       3
<PAGE>
available. Funds for future acquisitions or development of hotels are expected
to be derived, in whole or in part, from capital obtained from borrowings under
our credit facility or other borrowings, from the proceeds of a sale of
non-strategic hotels, additional issuances of common shares or other securities,
cash flows from operations, or capital funding under the terms of our joint
venture arrangement with AEW.
 
B.  STRATEGIC ALLIANCES AND RELATIONSHIPS
 
    Our strategic alliances and relationships fall into two primary areas:
 
    - Franchise Brand Strategy
 
    - Multiple Lessee/Joint Venture Strategy
 
    1.  FRANCHISE BRAND STRATEGY
 
    We focus on owning hotel properties that are, or can be, associated with
brands that will lead the hospitality industry in REVPAR, such as
DoubleTree-Registered Trademark-, Marriott-Registered Trademark-,
Radisson-Registered Trademark-, Hilton-Registered Trademark-, Holiday
Inn-Registered Trademark-, Hampton Inns-Registered Trademark-, Quality
Suites-Registered Trademark-, Hyatt-Registered Trademark-,
Renaissance-Registered Trademark-, Omni-Registered Trademark-, and Embassy
Suites-Registered Trademark-. We believe that we can maximize our market share
and revenue by taking advantage of our orientation toward sales and marketing to
identify the most effective branding and to leverage our brands with effective
direct sales strategies.
 
    We expect to continue to affiliate with a number of different franchisors in
order to maximize the performance of our hotels by providing greater access to a
broad base of national marketing and reservation systems and to mitigate the
risks of franchise loss and franchise overlap. We believe that our relationships
with certain franchisors facilitate finding acquisition opportunities and
completing acquisitions on attractive terms.
 
    2.  MULTIPLE LESSEE AND JOINT VENTURE STRATEGY
 
    We lease our properties to established hotel operators pursuant to the
percentage lease agreements, which provide us with the greater of a base rental
income or a percentage of revenues from operations.
 
    We believe that having multiple tenants facilitates meeting our growth
objectives. In selecting lessees, we seek hotel operators with demonstrated
full-service hotel expertise, a stable operating and financial performance
history, an excellent reputation in the hospitality industry, and an ability to
introduce additional acquisition opportunities to, and to lease additional
hotels from us. We expect to pursue lease relationships with additional hotel
operators that have strong operating histories and demonstrated management
expertise.
 
    The 31 hotels in our current portfolio are leased to and operated by the
following entities:

  BMC AND WESTBOY
 
    Robert W. Boykin, our Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive
Officer, and his brother, John E. Boykin, control BMC, which was formed at the
time of our IPO. Westboy is a wholly-
 
                                       4
<PAGE>
owned subsidiary of BMC that leases the ten DoubleTree hotels acquired by us as
part of the Red Lion merger. BMC has continued the hotel operation and
management business of the Boykin Group. BMC and its subsidiaries have been in
the hotel business for 40 years and have capabilities in all phases of
development and management of hotel properties. BMC currently manages 18
properties containing 4,510 guest rooms located throughout the United States,
including 15 hotels leased from us.
 
    BMC's subsidiaries, which conduct management activities for owners other
than us, include an award-winning hotel interior design business and a hotel and
restaurant food, beverage, supply and equipment purchasing business. These
operations are conducted, in part, with a view to introducing us to acquisition
opportunities.
 
    BMC and its owners, who have a substantial interest in the Partnership, have
interests that conflict with our interests in connection with the structuring
and enforcement of the percentage lease agreements and other agreements between
us and BMC and in connection with activities that may maximize profits for BMC
without necessarily benefiting us. We have implemented several measures,
including those listed below, to align the interests of BMC and its owners with
our interests and to address these conflicts of interest:
 
    - BMC's owners have agreed to retain their equity interests in the
      Partnership until November 1999;
 
    - Robert W. Boykin will not hold office in BMC (other than a directorship),
      and neither John E. Boykin nor any other officer of BMC will hold office
      in Boykin Lodging;
 
    - Distributions from BMC and net proceeds of any sale of BMC (with certain
      limited exceptions) will be used to purchase units in the Partnership or
      our common shares, and half of BMC's consolidated earnings will be
      retained in BMC and its subsidiaries to maintain their consolidated net
      worth at not less than 25% of the aggregate annual rent payments under
      BMC's percentage lease agreements;
 
    - Determinations made on behalf of Boykin Lodging in connection with any
      conflict of interest involving any affiliate of Boykin are made by our
      independent directors;
 
    - Any affiliate of the Boykin Group will conduct all hotel acquisition,
      development and ownership activities only through Boykin Lodging; and
 
    - Any change in control of BMC without our consent will constitute a default
      under BMC's percentage lease agreements.
 
    BMC also has developed a deferred compensation plan for its corporate-level
senior executives, under which each award's value is based on the value of our
common shares.
 
  THIRD PARTY OPERATOR
 
    Promus Hotel Corporation manages our portfolio of ten DoubleTree hotels.
Promus is a publicly-traded company with a long history of owning and operating
upscale hotels. Promus owns the DoubleTree-Registered Trademark-, Embassy
Suites-Registered Trademark-, and Hampton Inns-Registered Trademark- hotel
brands, among others.
 
  THIRD PARTY LESSEE/OPERATORS
 
    As part of our multiple tenant strategy, we have implemented a strategy of
structuring joint ventures with our third party lessee/operators to align the
hotel lessees' economic interests with our economic interests. In each joint
venture, the lessee's ability to receive cash flow and equity capital
distributions is subordinated to Boykin Lodging's receipt of specified minimum
distributions. In addition, each lessee must maintain a specified net worth to
support its lease payment obligations and pledge its joint venture interest as
security for the lease payment obligations. We are permitted to subject any
joint venture's hotel to a mortgage or to sell the hotel or its interest in the
joint venture without receiving the affected joint venture partner's consent.

C.  INTERNAL GROWTH FROM STRONG MANAGEMENT, RENOVATION, AND DEVELOPMENT AND
    REPOSITIONING
 
    1.  Strong Management Performance
 
    We believe that the revenue and cash flow from our hotels will be maximized
by intensive management and marketing. We intend to derive increased cash flow
through the application of our lessees' operating strategies, which include
active hotel revenue maximization (also referred to as effective yield
management). We believe that our lessees' commitment to customer service and the
experience of their management teams positions us to capitalize on the expected
continuing demand in our markets.
 
    We also believe that, based on our historical operating results and the
location of our hotels and on the strength of our own and our lessees'
management teams, the portfolio should provide us with the opportunity for cash
flow growth through the percentage leases.
 
    2.  Capital Expenditure and Renovation Strategy
 
    We believe that our regular program of capital improvements at our hotels,
including replacement and refurbishment of furniture, fixtures, and equipment,
helps maintain and enhance their competitiveness and maximizes revenue growth
under the percentage leases. During the year ended December 31, 1998, we
 
                                       6
<PAGE>
spent approximately $32.5 million on renovations. This represents an average of
approximately 14 percent of 1998 hotel revenues under our ownership. We consider
the majority of these improvements to be revenue-producing and therefore these
amounts have been capitalized and are being depreciated over their estimated
useful lives.
 
    The percentage leases require us to provide reserves for capital
expenditures equal to specified percentages of individual hotel total revenues.
For the year ended December 31, 1998, this reserve would have represented an
average of $1,302 per room for the hotels. We generally use the capital
expenditures reserve for the replacement and refurbishment of furniture,
fixtures, and equipment and other capital expenditures to maintain and enhance
the competitive position of our hotels, although we may make other uses of
amounts reserved that we consider appropriate from time to time. We believe that
the reserve will be adequate to meet our continuing capital expenditure and
furniture, fixtures, and equipment needs for our hotels in light of their age
and condition.
 
    We have announced our intention to make approximately $20 million of
improvements at some of the ten DoubleTree hotels over the next two years.
Approximately 750 of the hotel rooms in this portfolio will be renovated in the
first quarter of 1999. Funding for these capital expenditures will be made from
cash on hand, available capital expenditure reserves, and borrowings on our
credit facility.
 
    3.  Development and Repositioning Strategy
 
    We may develop additional full-service or upscale limited-service hotels on
land that we acquire in our current geographic markets or on land contiguous to
our hotels. We believe that selective development of hotels in our existing
geographic markets could enable us to take advantage of operating efficiencies
to generate attractive returns on investment. We may also reposition
under-performing hotels by changing the franchise brand affiliation.
 
  TERMS OF THE PERCENTAGE LEASE AGREEMENTS
 
    The following summary of the material terms of the percentage leases is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Percentage Lease, which
was filed as an exhibit to our Registration Statement on Form S-11 (Registration
Statement No. 333-6341, filed on June 19, 1996, as amended). We expect that
leases with respect to our future hotel property investments will have
substantially similar terms, although the Board of Directors may alter any of
these terms.
 
    The percentage lease agreements have the material terms described below:
 
    - DURATION -- non-cancelable remaining terms ranging from two to ten years,
      subject to earlier termination on the occurrence of certain contingencies
      described in the percentage leases. The majority of the percentage leases
      do not contain renewal terms and those with renewal options are subject to
      agreement between the parties regarding market terms.
 
    - AMOUNTS PAYABLE UNDER THE PERCENTAGE LEASES.  Lessees are obligated to pay
      to us the higher of minimum rent or percentage rent, except for the French
      Lick Springs Resort, for which both minimum rent and percentage rent are
      required to be paid.
 
       - Minimum rent is a fixed amount determined by negotiation between us and
         the applicable lessee and is payable monthly.
 
       - Percentage rent is calculated by multiplying fixed percentages by gross
         room and other revenue and gross food and beverage revenue, over
         specified threshold amounts. Percentage rent is payable quarterly.
 
                                       7
<PAGE>
       Both the threshold gross room and other revenue amounts used in computing
       percentage rent and minimum rent are adjusted annually for changes in the
       United States Consumer Price Index.
 
           Lessees are also obligated to pay us certain other amounts, including
       interest accrued on any late payment or charge.
 
           Each lease also requires the lessee to pay all costs and expenses
       incurred in the operation of the hotel. The lessee is required to
       maintain the hotel in good order and repair and to make necessary
       nonstructural repairs. We fund capital expenditures as we consider
       necessary and as required by our franchisors.
 
    - INSURANCE AND PROPERTY TAXES. We pay, or cause the lessee to pay, real
      estate and personal property taxes and maintain, or cause the lessee to
      maintain, property insurance, including casualty insurance, on our hotels.
      The lessee maintains comprehensive general public liability, workers'
      compensation, 12-month rental interruption and any other insurance
      customary for properties similar to the hotel or required by any relevant
      franchisor and must have us named as an additional insured. We believe
      that the insurance coverage carried by each hotel is adequate in scope and
      amount.
 
    - INDEMNIFICATION. The lessee indemnifies us against all liabilities, costs
      and expenses incurred by, imposed on or asserted against us, on account
      of, among other things:
 
       - accidents or injury to persons or property on or about the hotel;
 
       - negligence by the lessee or any of its agents;
 
       - certain environmental liabilities resulting from conditions existing at
         the time of the lease execution;
 
       - taxes and assessments in respect of the hotel (other than our real
         estate taxes and income taxes on income attributable to the hotel);
 
       - the sale or consumption of alcoholic beverages on the hotel property;
         and
 
       - any breach of the lease by the lessee.
 
    - ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLEASING. The lessee is not permitted to sublet all or
      any part of the hotel, assign its interest, or enter a management
      agreement with a third party to operate the hotel without our prior
      written consent.
 
    - EVENTS OF DEFAULT. Events of default include, among others:
 
       - the failure by the lessee to pay minimum and percentage rent when due;
 
       - failure to observe or perform any other term of the lease;
 
       - termination of the franchise agreement covering any hotel leased to the
         lessee;
 
       - any failure to comply with covenants as defined in the lease
         agreements.
 
    In the event of default under any lease with BMC, we may terminate the lease
and any or all of the other percentage leases with BMC, and BMC will be required
to surrender possession of the affected hotels. If an event of default under any
lease with any other lessee occurs, we may terminate the lease and the lessee
will be required to surrender possession of the affected hotel.
 
  FRANCHISE AGREEMENTS
 
    Our hotels are operated under franchise license agreements with premier
nationally recognized hotel chains, including:

<PAGE>
    Our French Lick Springs Resort in French Lick, Indiana operates as an
independent hotel.
 
    We expect that most of the additional hotel properties that we acquire will
be operated under franchise agreements. We believe that the public's perception
of quality associated with a franchisor can be an important feature in the
operation of a hotel. Franchisors provide a variety of benefits for franchisees,
including national advertising, publicity, and other marketing programs designed
to increase brand awareness, training of personnel, continuous review of quality
standards, and centralized reservation systems.
 
    The expiration dates for the hotels' franchise agreements range from August
31, 2001 to December 31, 2018, which, in some cases, may be extended for
additional terms beyond 2018. The franchise agreements generally impose certain
management, operational, record-keeping, accounting, reporting and marketing
standards and procedures with which the franchised operator must comply. Some of
the key provisions of the franchise agreements include the following:
 
    - Each franchise agreement gives the lessee/operator the right to operate
      the franchised hotel under a franchise for a period of years specified in
      that agreement. The franchise agreements provide for early termination at
      the franchisor's option on the occurrence of certain events of default,
      such as the failure to properly maintain the hotel.
 
    - The lessees/operators are responsible to pay franchise fees ranging from
      3% to 6% of gross room sales and advertising or marketing and reservation
      fees ranging from 0.8% to 4% of gross room sales.
 
    - Notification must be given to the franchisor upon the sale of a hotel
      giving the franchisor rights, as defined in its franchise agreement,
      ranging from consent to the transfer of ownership, the franchisors'
      ability to match an offer for sale, or the right terminate the franchise
      agreement
 
  EMPLOYEES
 
    We currently have thirteen employees. These employees perform, directly or
through the Partnership, various acquisition, development, redevelopment and
corporate management functions.
 
  INVENTORY
 
    All working capital assets required in the operation of our hotels are
provided by the lessees at their expense.
 
  ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
 
    Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances, and regulations, an
owner or operator of real estate may be liable for the costs of removal or
remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum on, under or
in the property. This liability may be imposed without regard to whether the
owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of the
substances. Other federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations and
the common law impose on owners and operators certain requirements regarding
conditions and activities that may affect human health or the environment.
Failure to comply with applicable requirements could result in difficulty in the
lease or sale of any affected property or the imposition of monetary penalties,
in addition to the costs required to achieve compliance and potential liability
to third parties. We may be potentially liable for such costs or claims in
connection with the ownership and operation of the current hotels and hotels we
may acquire in the future.
 
    We have not been notified by any governmental authority, and are not
otherwise aware, of any material noncompliance, liability or claim relating to
hazardous or toxic substances or to other environmental matters in connection
with any of its hotels. Nonetheless, it is possible that material environmental
contamination or conditions exist, or could arise in the future, in the hotels
or on the land upon which they
 
                                       9
<PAGE>
are located which could create a material environmental liability. Further,
there can be no assurance that the hotels that we may acquire will not give rise
to any material environmental liability.
 
  COMPETITION
 
    Each of our hotels is located in a developed area that includes other hotel
properties. The occupancy, ADR and REVPAR of any hotel or any hotel property
acquired in the future could be materially and adversely affected by the number
of competitive hotel properties in its market area. Competition for potential
acquisitions may generally reduce the number of suitable investment
opportunities offered to us and increase the bargaining power of property owners
seeking to sell.
 
  SEASONALITY
 
    The operations at our hotels historically have been seasonal. Twenty-six of
the hotels maintain higher occupancy rates during the second and third quarters.
The five hotels in Florida experience their highest occupancy in the first
quarter. This seasonality pattern can be expected to cause fluctuations in our
quarterly lease revenue under the percentage leases.
 
(d) FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC OPERATIONS AND EXPORT SALES
 
    All of our operations are conducted in the United States.

(b) SHAREHOLDER INFORMATION

<PAGE>
    In order to comply with certain requirements related to our qualification as
a REIT, our charter limits the number of common shares that may be owned by any
single person or affiliated group to 9% of the outstanding common shares.
 
(c) DISTRIBUTION INFORMATION
 
    We currently anticipate that we will maintain our current distribution rate
in the near term, unless actual results of operations, economic conditions or
other factors differ from our current expectations. The declaration and payment
of distributions is at the discretion of our Board of Directors and depends on,
among other things, our receipt of cash distributions from the Partnership, the
Partnership's level of indebtedness, any contractual restrictions and other
factors considered relevant by the Board. We determine the level of our cash
distributions in light of our cash needs, including our requirements for
investing and financing activities and other anticipated cash needs. Our
principal source of revenue consists of payments of rent by the lessees under
the percentage leases.
 
(d) SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
 
    In September 1997, we sold 20,000 common shares to BMC for cash
consideration of $490,625, or $24.53 per share. This sale was not registered
under the Securities Act of 1933 in reliance upon the exemption from the
registration requirements thereof provided by Section 4 (2) of Securities Act of
1933.
 
ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
 
    The following tables set forth selected historical and pro forma operating
and financial data for Boykin Lodging Company and BMC and selected combined
historical financial data for the Initial Hotels. The selected historical
financial data for Boykin Lodging and BMC for the years ended December 31, 1998
and 1997, and for the period November 4, 1996 (inception of operations) to
December 31, 1996, and the selected combined historical financial data for the
Initial Hotels for the period January 1, 1996 through November 3, 1996, and for
the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1995 have been derived from the historical
financial statements of Boykin Lodging, BMC and the Initial Hotels,
respectively, audited by Arthur Andersen LLP, independent public accountants.
 
    Our pro forma financial information and that of BMC is presented as if the
following significant transactions had been consummated as of January 1, 1997:
 
    - our sale of 4.5 million common shares in February 1998;
 
    - our issuance of 3.1 million common shares in May 1998 related to Red Lion
      merger;
 
    - our acquisitions in 1997 and 1998; and
 
    - our repurchase of 114,500 shares in 1998.
 
    The 1997 pro forma results of operations exclude the results of the Daytona
Beach Radisson Resort and the DoubleTree Kansas City, as these hotels were
closed for renovations during portions of the year.
 
    The following selected financial data should be read in conjunction with
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" and all of the financial statements and notes thereto included
elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

(1) The White Paper on Funds From Operations approved by the Board of Governors
    of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") in
    March 1995 defines funds from operations ("FFO") as net income (loss)
    (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from debt
    restructuring and sales of properties, plus real estate related depreciation
    and amortization and after comparable adjustments for company's portion of
    these items related to unconsolidated entities and joint ventures. We
    believe that FFO is helpful to investors as a measure of the performance of
    an equity REIT because, along with cash flow from operating, financing and
    investing activities, it provides investors with an indication of our
    ability to incur and service debt, make capital expenditures and fund other
    cash needs.
 
    We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by NAREIT which may
    not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term
    in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the
    NAREIT definition differently than us. FFO does not represent cash generated
    from operating activities determined by GAAP and should not be considered as
    an alternative to GAAP net income as an indication of our financial
    performance or to cash flow from operating activities determined by GAAP as
    a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund
    our cash needs, including its ability to make cash distributions. FFO may
    include funds that may not be available for management's discretionary use
    due to functional
 
                                       16
<PAGE>
    requirements to conserve funds for capital expenditures and property
    acquisitions, and other commitments and uncertainties. The following is a
    reconciliation between net income and FFO (in thousands):

(2) For pro forma purposes, net cash provided by operating activities represents
    net income before depreciation of real estate assets, amortization of
    deferred financing costs and minority interest including adjustments for the
    joint venture minority interest therein. For pro forma purposes, no effect
    has been given to changes in working capital assets and liabilities.
 
(3) For pro forma purposes, net cash used for investing activities represents 4%
    of hotel revenues for the applicable period. For those hotels which are
    owned through a joint venture, only our percentage interest in such hotel
    revenues is considered in the calculation.
 
(4) For pro forma purposes, net cash used for financing activities represents
    estimated dividends and distributions based upon our historical annual
    dividend rate of $1.88 and $1.80 per common share in 1998 and 1997,
    respectively and the pro forma weighted average number of common shares and
    units outstanding during the applicable period.

(1) On February 8, 1996, the Lake Norman Holiday Inn and Lake Norman Hampton Inn
    were acquired by a Boykin Affiliate. The acquisition was accounted for as a
    purchase and, accordingly, the operating results of the Holiday Inn and
    Hampton Inn have been included in the above operating data commencing
    February 8, 1996.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
  OF OPERATIONS
 
BOYKIN'S FORMATION AND RECENT EVENTS
 
    On November 4, 1996, we completed our IPO issuing a total of 9.5 million
common shares. In conjunction with our IPO, we contributed approximately $133.9
million to Boykin Hotel Properties, L.P., an Ohio limited partnership (the
"Partnership"), in exchange for an approximate 84.5% equity interest as the sole
general partner of the Partnership and we loaned $40 million to the Partnership
in exchange for an intercompany convertible note. The Partnership then acquired
nine hotel properties (the "Initial Hotels") and another eight hotel properties
in 1997 using remaining proceeds from the IPO and borrowings under our credit
facility. We do all of our business through the Partnership.
 
    On February 24, 1998, we completed a follow-on public equity offering and
issued an additional 4.5 million common shares. The net proceeds of
approximately $106.3 million were contributed to the Partnership, increasing our
ownership percentage therein to 90.3%. The proceeds were used by the Partnership
to pay down existing indebtedness under the credit facility, purchase limited
partnership units from two unaffiliated limited partners, fund the acquisitions
of two hotels purchased in March 1998 and for general corporate purposes.
 
    On May 22, 1998 we completed our merger with Red Lion Inns Limited
Partnership, in which we acquired Red Lion Inns Operating L.P. ("OLP") which
owns a portfolio of ten DoubleTree-licensed hotels. In the transaction, we
issued 3.1 million common shares and paid approximately $35.3 million in cash to
the Red Lion limited partners and general partner. The total consideration
value, including assumed liabilities of approximately $155.7 million and common
shares issued valued at $80.3 million, was $271.3 million. The issuance of our
common shares in the merger had the impact of increasing our ownership
percentage in the Partnership to 92.2%.
 
    At the end of 1998, we owned 31 hotels containing a total of 8,689 guest
rooms located in 16 different states.
 
    Our principal source of revenue is lease payments from lessees pursuant to
percentage lease agreements. Percentage lease revenue is based upon the room,
food and beverage and other revenues of our hotels. The lessees' ability to make
payments to us pursuant to the percentage leases is dependent primarily upon the
operations of the hotels.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
    The following discusses our actual results of operations for 1998 compared
to 1997 and 1997 compared to the short period from November 4 through December
31, 1996. It also discusses our pro forma results of operations and that of BMC
for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997. The pro forma information is
presented as if the following items had been consummated as of January 1, 1997:
 
    - our sale of 4.5 million common shares in February 1998;
 
    - our issuance of 3.1 million common shares in May 1998 related to the Red
      Lion merger;
 
    - our acquisitions in 1997 and 1998; and
 
    - our repurchase of 114,500 common shares in 1998.
 
    The 1997 pro forma results of operations exclude the results of the Daytona
Beach Radisson Resort and the DoubleTree Kansas City, as these hotels were
closed for renovations during portions of the year.
 
    Because the rent we collect from BMC constitutes a significant portion of
our lease revenues, we believe that a discussion of the historical and pro forma
operations of BMC is also important to understand our business. The pro forma
information of BMC is presented as if our acquisitions of hotels leased by BMC
and Westboy were consummated as of January 1, 1997. The 1997 pro forma
information
 
                                       19
<PAGE>
excludes the results of the Daytona Beach Radisson Resort, as this hotel was
closed during most of 1997 for renovation.
 
BOYKIN LODGING COMPANY
 
  ACTUAL RESULTS OF OPERATIONS YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 COMPARED TO YEAR
  ENDED 1997
 
    Our percentage lease revenue increased to $69.7 million in 1998 from $37.9
million in 1997, primarily because the number of hotels we owned increased from
17 to 31 during the year. Percentage lease revenue payable by BMC represented
$56.7 million, or 81.3% of total percentage lease revenue in 1998, compared to
91.9% in 1997. The amount of percentage lease revenues from BMC, as a percentage
of total lease revenues, decreased in 1998 because of the addition of third
party lessees in 1998.
 
    Income before minority interests and extraordinary item increased to $22.2
million in 1998 compared to $17.4 million in 1997. As a percent of total
revenues, income before minority interests and extraordinary item decreased to
31.7% in 1998 from 45.6% in 1997, primarily resulting from:
 
    - an increase in interest expense to $13.9 million in 1998, or 19.8% of
      total revenues, in 1998, compared to $2.65 million, or 6.9%, in 1997, due
      to an increase in the average outstanding debt balances associated with
      the purchase of additional hotels. Interest expense in 1997 was unusually
      low due to minimal borrowings under our credit facility as the remaining
      funds from our IPO were used to fund the majority of acquisitions in the
      first half of 1997. New debt associated with our 1998 acquisitions and the
      Red Lion merger increased our interest expense in 1998.
 
    - an increase in real estate related depreciation and amortization, as a
      percent of total revenue, from 26.5% in 1997 to 30.3% in 1998, because of
      an increase in the size of our hotel portfolio.
 
    General and administrative expenses decreased, as a percentage of total
revenue, from 6.3% in 1997 to 5.3% in 1998, and personal property taxes,
insurance, and ground rent, as a percentage of revenues also decreased from
13.5% in 1997 to 12.0% in 1998.
 
    Net income was $19.0 million in 1998 compared to $14.3 million in 1997.
Minority interest applicable to the operating partnership and joint venture
partnerships in the income before extraordinary item of the Partnership was $2.1
million in 1998, or 2.9% of total revenues, compared to $2.2 million, or 5.8% in
1997. Extraordinary charges (net of minority interest of $.2 million and $.1
million in 1997 and 1998, respectively) increased from $.9 million in 1997 to
$1.1 million in 1998. The extraordinary charge in 1998 represented the write-off
of deferred financing costs associated with our former $150 million secured
credit facility which was replaced with a new $250 million unsecured facility.
The extraordinary charge in 1997 represented the write-off of deferred financing
costs incurred in connection with increasing our available credit facility in
October 1997 and the retirement of mortgage indebtedness of one of the joint
ventures.
 
    Our FFO in 1998 was $42.8 million compared to $27.4 million in 1997. For a
definition of FFO, reconciliation of net income to FFO and discussion why we
believe FFO is an important measure to investors of a REIT's financial
performance, please see Item 6. "Selected Financial Data" on page 16.
 
    ACTUAL RESULTS OF OPERATIONS YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 COMPARED TO THE
PERIOD FROM NOVEMBER 4, 1996 (INCEPTION OF OPERATIONS) TO DECEMBER 31, 1996
 
    Percentage lease revenue increased to $37.9 million from $3.3 million in
1996, primarily because of the partial year of operations in 1996 and the
increase in the number of hotels we owned from 9 to 17 at December 31, 1996 and
1997, respectively. Percentage lease revenue payable by BMC represented $34.8
million or 91.9% of total percentage lease revenue in 1997 compared to 100% in
1996. Income before minority interest and extraordinary item increased to $17.4
million in 1997 compared to $.8 million in 1996. As a percent of total revenue,
income before minority interest and extraordinary item increased to 45.6% in
1997 from 24.9% in 1996, primarily resulting from:
 
                                       20
<PAGE>
    - a decline in real estate related depreciation and amortization, as a
      percent of total revenue, from 39.8% in 1996 to 26.5% in 1997,
 
    - a decrease in real estate and personal property taxes, insurance and
      ground rent, as a percentage of total revenues, from 18.4% in 1996 to
      13.5% in 1997,
 
    - a decrease in general and administrative expenses, as a percent of total
      revenues, from 13.3% in 1996 to 6.3% in 1997. These expenses, as a percent
      of total revenues, decreased because of a greater increase in percentage
      lease revenues during our full year of operations in 1997 relative to the
      increase in expenses during the same period.
 
    - an increase in interest expense to $2.7 million in 1997 compared to
      $54,000 in 1996 because of borrowings under the our credit facility used
      to fund acquisitions in 1997.
 
    Net income was $14.3 million in 1997 compared to a net loss in 1996 of $4.1
million. Minority interest applicable to the operating partnership and joint
venture partnerships in the income before extraordinary item of the Partnership
was $2.2 million in 1997, or 5.8% of total revenues, compared to $40,000, or
1.2%, in 1996. Extraordinary charges (net of minority interest of $1.0 million
and $.2 million in 1996 and 1997, respectively) decreased from $4.9 million in
1996 to $.9 million in 1997. The extraordinary charge in 1996 represented the
write-off of deferred financing costs and the payment of prepayment penalties
and fees incurred in connection with the retirement of all mortgage indebtedness
assumed by the Partnership upon formation of the company.
 
    Our FFO in 1997 was $27.4 million compared to $2.2 million in 1996 due to a
partial year in 1996 and the increased number of hotels owned during 1997.
 
  PRO FORMA RESULTS OF OPERATIONS YEAR ENDED 1998 COMPARED TO 1997
 
    For the year ended December 31, 1998, our pro forma total revenue would have
been $83.3 million, representing a $2.3 million, or 2.8%, increase over pro
forma total revenue for the year ended December 31, 1997 of $81.1 million. The
increase for 1998 over 1997 is primarily the result of increased percentage
lease revenue because of increases in the average daily rates (ADR) and the
exclusion of the Daytona and Kansas City hotels in the 1997 results as they were
closed for renovations during portions of 1997.
 
    Pro forma expenses before minority interest, consisting principally of
depreciation and amortization, property taxes, insurance, ground rent, general
administrative expenses and interest expense would have been $60.2 million,
representing a $3.0 million, or 5.2%, increase over 1997 expenses of $57.2
million. As a percentage of revenues, our expenses before minority interest
would have increased from 70.6% in 1997 to 72.2% in 1998. The principal factors
for this increase are attributable to interest expense, general and
administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization.
 
    General and administrative expenses would have increased $1.3 million in
1998 compared to 1997, or 55.8%, primarily attributable to incremental costs
associated with hiring management personnel to support our strategic growth
objectives. Real estate and personal property taxes, insurance and ground rent
expense would have decreased from $10.2 million in 1997 to $9.8 million in 1998,
or 4.2%, primarily because of lower insurance premiums in 1998 compared to 1997.
Pro forma interest expense would have increased 11.5% in 1998, because of higher
average borrowing levels in 1998 compared to 1997 associated with funding
capital expenditures, offset somewhat by lower interest rates in 1998. Pro forma
FFO for the year ended December 31, 1998 decreased slightly to $48.7 million
compared to $50.2 million in 1997.
 
    During 1998, the pro forma ADR at our hotels (excluding Daytona and Kansas
City as these hotels were closed during portions of 1997 for renovations)
increased to $90.18 compared to $87.52 in 1997, representing a 3.0% increase.
The weighted average occupancy decreased to 66.6% from 68.3% in 1997. This
resulted in an increase in REVPAR to $60.04 in 1998 compared to $59.80 in 1997.

ACTUAL RESULTS OF OPERATIONS YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED
  1997
 
    For the year ended December 31, 1998 BMC had hotel revenues of $235.7
million compared to $110.5 million in 1997. The increase was due to the increase
in the number of hotels leased, from 13 at December 31, 1997 to 25 at December
31, 1998. BMC recorded net income of $47,000 in 1998 compared to $1.7 million in
1997.
 
    Percentage lease expense during 1998 was $67.4 million, or 28.6% of hotel
revenues, compared to $34.8 million, or 31.5% of hotel revenues, in 1997.
Departmental and other hotel operating expenses, consisting primarily of rooms
expenses, food and beverage costs, franchise fees, utilities, repairs and
maintenance, and other general and administrative expenses of the hotels were
$170.2 million in 1998 compared to $75.9 million in 1997. As a percent of hotel
revenues, the departmental and other hotel operating expenses increased from
68.6% in 1997 to 72.2% in 1998, because of the additional hotels and management
fees paid to Promus for the DoubleTree hotels.
 
    ACTUAL RESULTS OF OPERATIONS YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 COMPARED TO THE
PERIOD FROM NOVEMBER 4, 1996 (INCEPTION OF OPERATIONS) TO DECEMBER 31, 1996
 
    For the year ended December 31, 1997 BMC had hotel revenues of $110.5
million compared to $12.3 million in 1996. The increase was because of the
partial year in 1996 and an increase in the number of hotels leased, from nine
at December 31, 1996 to 13 at December 31, 1997. BMC recorded net income of $1.7
million in 1997 compared to a net loss of $.4 million in 1996. The loss in 1996
was partially the result of the application of the percentage lease rent terms
during an interim period (as opposed to a full calendar year). The terms of each
lease allow for annualizing the rent payable to compensate for the effects of
seasonality when base rents may be required during periods of lower occupancy
which would otherwise be offset during peak seasons. Historically, the fourth
quarter has been a period of lower occupancy for the Initial Hotels on a
combined basis in comparison to the other three quarters of the year.
 
    The percentage lease expense during 1997 was $34.8 million, or 31.5% of
hotel revenues, compared to $3.3 million, or 26.5% of hotel revenues, in 1996.
Departmental and other hotel operating expenses, consisting primarily of rooms
expenses, food and beverage costs, franchise fees, utilities, repairs and
maintenance, and other general and administrative expenses of the hotels, were
$75.9 million in 1997 compared to $9.7 million in 1996. As a percent of hotel
revenues, the departmental and other hotel
 
                                       22
<PAGE>
operating expenses decreased from 79.4% in 1996 to 68.6% in 1997 because of the
lower fourth quarter revenues in 1996 (as opposed to a full calendar year).
 
  PRO FORMA RESULTS OF OPERATIONS YEAR ENDED 1998 COMPARED TO 1997
 
    For the year ended December 31, 1998, BMC's pro forma hotel revenues would
have been $237.9 million, a slight increase in pro forma hotel revenues over the
year ended December 31, 1997 of $237.2 million. The increase in revenues for
1998 compared to 1997 is primarily the result of increases in the average daily
rates offset by lower occupancy rates experienced at some of the BMC hotels.
 
    Pro forma percentage lease expense would have decreased from $69.6 million
in 1997 to $68.1 million in 1998, or 2.2%, because of changes in the percentage
lease calculations in 1998 for increases in the Consumer Price Index applied to
the relatively flat hotel revenues between years. Pro forma departmental
expenses and other hotel operating expenses of BMC would have been $172.2
million in 1998 compared to $169.1 million in 1997, an increase of 1.9%. As a
percentage of hotel revenues, these expenses would have increased slightly from
71.3% in 1997 to 72.4% in 1998.
 
    Pro forma net income of BMC would have been $35,000 in 1998 compared to net
income of $.3 million in 1997.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
    Our principal source of cash to meet our cash requirements, including
distributions to shareholders, is our share of the Partnership's cash flow from
the percentage leases. The lessees' obligations under the percentage leases are
unsecured and the lessees' ability to make rent payments to the Partnership
under the percentage leases, are dependent on the lessees' ability to generate
sufficient cash flow from the operation of the hotels.
 
    As of December 31, 1998, we had $5.6 million of unrestricted cash and cash
equivalents, $4.3 million of restricted cash for the payment of capital
expenditures, real estate tax and insurance and we had outstanding borrowings
totaling $156.0 million and $130.0 million against our credit facility and term
note payable, respectively. In February 1999, the borrowings under our credit
facility increased to $158.0 million to fund capital expenditures for
significant renovations at four DoubleTree hotels.
 
    We have a $250 million credit facility available, as limited under terms of
the credit agreement, to fund acquisitions of additional hotels, renovations and
capital expenditures, and for our working capital needs. For information
relating to the terms of our credit facility and our $130 million term note
payable, please see Notes 5 and 6, respectively, of the notes to consolidated
financial statements of Boykin Lodging Company included in this Form 10-K. We
may seek to negotiate additional credit facilities or issue debt instruments.
Any debt incurred or issued by us may be secured or unsecured, long-term,
medium-term or short-term, bear interest at a fixed or variable rate, and be
subject to such other terms as the Board of Directors considers prudent.
 
    In November 1997, we filed a shelf registration statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission for the issuance of up to $300 million in
securities over two years. Securities issued under this registration statement
may be preferred shares, depository shares, common shares or any combination
thereof, and may be issued at different times, depending on market conditions.
Warrants to purchase these securities may also be issued. The terms of issuance
of any securities covered by this registration statement would be determined at
the time of their offering. The 4.5 million common shares sold in the February
28, 1998 offering were sold under this registration statement.
 
    On February 1, 1999, we formed a joint venture with AEW Partners III, L.P.
("AEW"), an investment partnership managed by AEW Capital Management, L.P., a
Boston-based real estate investment firm that manages a portfolio of
approximately $6 billion. AEW will provide $50 million of equity capital for the
joint venture, and we will provide approximately $17 million and serve as the
operating partner of the joint venture. We plan to use the joint venture to take
advantage of acquisition opportunities in the lodging
 
                                       23
<PAGE>
industry. Combined with debt financing, the initial capital commitments would
allow the joint venture to complete approximately $175 million of acquisitions
over a 24-month period. The joint venture agreement also contains provisions for
AEW and Boykin to double their respective capital commitments under certain
circumstances, which could result in total acquisitions by the joint venture of
approximately $350 million. In addition, as part of the transaction, we will
receive incentive returns based on the performance of acquired assets as well as
other compensation as a result of the joint venture's activities.
 
    We anticipate that funds generated from operations and our credit facility
will enable us to meet our anticipated cash needs for the next year. Our
percentage lease revenues and cash flow are dependent in large part upon the
hotel revenues recognized by our lessees. There can be no assurance that those
revenues will meet expected levels. The availability of borrowings under the
credit facility is restrained by borrowing base and loan-to-value limits, as
well as other financial performance covenants contained in the agreement. There
can be no assurance that funds will be available in anticipated amounts from the
credit facility. Additionally, no assurance can be given that we will make
distributions in the future at the current rate, or at all.
 
INFLATION
 
    Our revenues are from percentage leases, which can change based on changes
in the revenues of our hotels. Therefore, we rely entirely on the performance of
the hotels and the lessees' ability to increase revenues to keep pace with
inflation. Operators of hotels in general, and our lessees, can change room
rates quickly, but competitive pressures may limit the lessees' ability to raise
rates to keep pace with inflation.
 
    Our general and administrative costs as well as real estate and personal
property taxes, property and casualty insurance and ground rent are subject to
inflation.
 
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
 
    Many computer systems were originally designed to recognize calendar years
by the last two digits in the date code field. Beginning in the year 2000, these
date code fields will need to accept four-digit entries to distinguish
twenty-first century dates from twentieth century dates. As a result
computerized systems, which include information and non-information technology
systems, and applications used by us, are being reviewed, evaluated and modified
or replaced, if necessary, to ensure all such financial, information and
operational systems are Year 2000 compliant.
 
STATE OF READINESS
 
    We are addressing the Year 2000 compliance issue by focusing on our
corporate facility, which includes all of our administrative, non-hotel
operating functions, and on our hotel properties.
 
    Corporate Facility:
 
    For our corporate facility, we are in the phase of assessing our hardware
components and critical corporate business applications, all of which are
expected to be modified or upgraded, as necessary, to ensure Year 2000
compliance by the end of the second quarter of 1999.
 
    Hotel Properties:
 
    We are communicating with our lessees and other vendors with whom we do
significant business to determine their readiness of Year 2000 compliance. For
all of our hotels, we have gained an understanding of the process which our
lessees have undertaken to address the risk assessment, validation, remediation
and contingency plans related to Year 2000 compliance.
 
                                       24
<PAGE>
    These processes have included the following:
 
    - completion of an inventory and assessment of all computerized systems,
      applications and hardware by internal personnel;
 
    - prioritization of items representing critical business applications; and
 
    - estimation of remediation costs.
 
    Most of our lessees are using internal personnel, who are determining the
level of resources needed, necessary modifications or upgrades, remediation and
contingency plans to become Year 2000 compliant. Our lessees have informed us
that they have dedicated the tools and resources to address all Year 2000 issues
in an effort to be Year 2000 compliant during the third quarter of 1999.
 
    There can be no assurance that the efforts related to the hotel properties
will be sufficient to make these properties' computerized systems and
applications Year 2000 compliant in a timely manner or that the allocated
resources will be sufficient. A failure to become Year 2000 compliant could
affect the integrity of the hotel property guest check-in, billing and
accounting functions. Certain physical hotel property machinery and equipment
could also fail resulting in safety risks and customer dissatisfaction. We
cannot predict at this time the most reasonably likely worst case scenario
relating to Year 2000 issues.
 
YEAR 2000 PROJECT COSTS
 
    We estimate that total unexpended costs for the Year 2000 compliance review,
evaluation, assessment and remediation efforts for the corporate facility and
the hotels should not exceed $.8 million, although there can be no assurance
that actual costs will not exceed this amount. During 1998, we spent
approximately $1.6 million related to computerized systems and equipment which
are Year 2000 compliant. It should be noted that the vast majority of our costs
to remediate this issue are capital in nature and would therefore not affect our
funds from operations.
 
CONTINGENCY PLAN
 
    We are in the process of developing our contingency plan for the corporate
facility and hotel properties to provide for the most reasonably likely worst
case scenarios regarding Year 2000 compliance. This contingency plan is expected
to be completed in the third quarter of 1999.
 
SEASONALITY
 
    Our hotels' operations historically have been seasonal. Twenty-six of our
hotels maintain higher occupancy rates during the second and third quarters. The
five hotels located in Florida experience their highest occupancy in the first
quarter. This seasonality pattern can be expected to cause fluctuations in our
quarterly lease revenue under the percentage leases. We anticipate that our cash
flow from the percentage leases will be sufficient to enable us to continue to
make quarterly distributions at the current rate for the next twelve months. To
the extent that cash flow from operations is insufficient during any quarter
because of temporary or seasonal fluctuations in percentage lease revenue, we
expect to utilize cash on hand or borrowings to make those distributions. No
assurance can be given that we will make distributions in the future at the
current rate, or at all.
 
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
INTEREST RATE RISK
 
    In 1998 we entered into a $130 million term note payable which bears
interest at a fixed rate of 6.9% for ten years, and a new fixed rate to be
determined thereafter. The term note requires interest only payments for the
first two years, with principal repayments commencing in the third loan year
based on a 25-year amortization schedule. The term note expires in June 2023.
Assuming a 10% increase in interest
 
                                       25
<PAGE>
rates as of December 31, 1998, the fair market value of the term note payable
would be approximately $126.1 million.
 
    In 1998, we also entered into a new unsecured credit facility with a group
of banks, which enables us to borrow up to $250 million, subject to borrowing
base and loan-to-value limitations, at a rate of interest that fluctuates at
LIBOR plus 1.40% to 1.75%. Due to changes in the U.S. and global economy,
interest rates fluctuate regularly which creates risk that these rates may
increase in the future, which would adversely impact our interest expense and
cash flows.
 
    See Notes 2, 5 and 6 to the consolidated financial statements for discussion
of fair values of financial instruments and the terms of the unsecured credit
facility and the term note payable.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Boykin Lodging Company:
 
    We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Boykin
Lodging Company (an Ohio corporation) and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998
and 1997 and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders'
equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 and the
period ended December 31, 1996. These financial statements and the schedule
referred to below are the responsibility of Boykin Lodging's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
schedule based on our audits.
 
    We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
    In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Boykin Lodging Company and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997
and the period ended December 31, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
 
    Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The schedule listed in the index of
financial statements is the responsibility of Boykin Lodging Company's
management and is presented for purposes of complying with the Securities and
Exchange Commission's rules and is not part of the basic financial statements.
The schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit
of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, fairly states in all
material respects the financial data required to be set forth therein in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
                           DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997
              (DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)
 
1.  BACKGROUND:
 
    Boykin Lodging Company is a real estate investment trust that owns hotels
throughout the United States and leases its properties to established hotel
operators. Boykin's principal source of revenue is lease payments from lessees
pursuant to percentage lease agreements. Percentage lease revenue is based upon
the room, food and beverage and other revenues of Boykin's hotels. The lessees'
ability to make payments to Boykin Lodging pursuant to the percentage leases is
dependent primarily upon the operations of the hotels.
 
  INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING AND MAJOR EVENTS SINCE THE IPO
 
    In November 1996, Boykin completed its initial public offering ("IPO")
issuing a total of 9,516,250 common shares, including exercise of the
underwriters' over-allotment option. In conjunction with its IPO, Boykin Lodging
contributed approximately $133,898 to Boykin Hotel Properties, L.P., an Ohio
limited partnership (the "Partnership"), in exchange for an approximate 84.5%
equity interest as the sole general partner of the Partnership and also loaned
$40,000 to the Partnership in exchange for an intercompany convertible note. The
Partnership then acquired nine hotel properties (the "Initial Hotels") and
leased them to Boykin Management Company Limited Liability Company ("BMC"). BMC
is owned by Robert W. Boykin, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of
Boykin Lodging Company (53.8%) and his brother, John E. Boykin (46.2%). The
Partnership acquired eight additional hotel properties in 1997 using remaining
proceeds from the IPO and borrowings under Boykin's credit facility.
 
    On February 24, 1998, Boykin completed a follow-on public equity offering
and issued an additional 4,500,000 common shares. The net proceeds of
approximately $106,313 were contributed to the Partnership, increasing Boykin
Lodging Company's ownership percentage therein to 90.3%. The proceeds were used
by the Partnership to pay down existing indebtedness under the credit facility,
purchase limited partnership units from two unaffiliated limited partners, fund
the acquisitions of two hotels purchased in March 1998 and for general corporate
purposes.
 
    On May 22, 1998 Boykin completed its merger with Red Lion Inns Limited
Partnership, in which Boykin Lodging acquired Red Lion Inns Operating L.P.
("OLP") which owns a portfolio of ten DoubleTree-licensed hotels. In the
transaction, Boykin issued 3,109,606 common shares and paid approximately
$35,305 in cash to the Red Lion limited partners and general partner. The total
consideration value, including assumed liabilities of approximately $155,710 and
common shares issued valued at $80,333, was $271,348. The common shares issued
in the merger were valued at $25.83 per share, the five-day average trading
price of Boykin's shares before the merger announcement. The issuance of
Boykin's common shares in the merger had the impact of increasing Boykin
Lodging's ownership percentage in the Partnership to 92.2%.
 
    At the end of 1998, Boykin owned 31 hotels containing a total of 8,689 guest
rooms located in 16 different states. As part of Boykin's acquisitions in 1997
and 1998, Boykin established new strategic

  BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
    Boykin Lodging exercises unilateral control over the Partnership. Therefore,
the separate financial statements of Boykin Lodging, OLP, the Partnership, and
the joint ventures discussed above are consolidated. All significant
intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
 
  RECLASSIFICATIONS
 
    Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial
statements to conform with the current year presentation.
 
2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
  INVESTMENT IN HOTEL PROPERTIES
 
    Hotel properties are stated at cost and are depreciated using the
straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from 20 to 40 years for
buildings and improvements and 3 to 20 years for furniture and equipment.
 
    Boykin reviews the hotel properties for impairment when events or changes in
circumstances indicate the carrying amounts of the hotel properties may not be
recoverable. When such conditions exist, management estimates the future cash
flows from operations and disposition of the hotel properties. If the estimated
undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset,
an adjustment to reduce the carrying amount to the related hotel property's
estimated fair market value would be recorded and an impairment loss would be
recognized. Boykin does not believe that there are any factors or circumstances
indicating impairment of any of its investment in hotel properties.
 
    Investment in hotel properties as of December 31, 1998 and 1997 consists of
the following:

  INCOME TAXES
 
    Boykin qualifies as a REIT under Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue
Code. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been reflected in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements.
 
    Boykin's earnings and profits, as defined by federal income tax law, will
determine the taxability of distributions to shareholders. Earnings and profits
will differ from income reported for financial reporting purposes primarily due
to the differences in the estimated useful lives and methods used to compute
depreciation. For federal income tax purposes, dividends to shareholders
applicable to 1998 and 1997 operating results represent ordinary taxable income
while dividends applicable to 1996 operating results represent a 100% return of
capital.
 
  EARNINGS PER SHARE
 
    Boykin follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128,
"Earnings per Share."
 
    Boykin's basic and diluted earnings per share for 1998, 1997, and 1996 are

    Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the period whereas diluted earnings per share adjusts
the weighted average shares outstanding for the effect of all dilutive
securities. The weighted average number of shares used in determining basic
earnings per share was 15,252,000, 9,523,000, and 8,981,000 for the years ended
December 31, 1998 and 1997, and for the period November 4, 1996 through December
31, 1996. For 1997 and 1996, diluted per share amounts reflect incremental
common shares outstanding of 72,000 and 55,000 related to unexercised stock
options as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. There were no dilutive
stock options outstanding at December 31, 1998. There are no adjustments to the
reported amounts of income in computing diluted per share amounts.
 
  PARTNERSHIP UNITS
 
    At December 31, 1998 and 1997, a total of 1,291,000 and 1,332,000 limited
partnership units were issued and outstanding, respectively. The weighted
average number of limited partnership units outstanding for the periods ended
December 31, 1998, 1997, and 1996 were 1,297,000, 1,360,000, and 1,378,000
respectively. The weighted average number of common shares and limited
partnership units for the periods ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 were
16,549,000, 10,883,000, and 10,359,000 respectively.

  FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
    Fair value is determined by using available market information and
appropriate valuation methodologies. Boykin's principal financial instruments
are cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, borrowings
against the credit facility, and the term note payable. Cash, cash equivalents,
and restricted cash, due to their short maturities, and the liquidity of
accounts receivable, are carried at amounts which reasonably approximate fair
value. As borrowings against the credit facility bear interest at variable
market rates, carrying value approximates market value at December 31, 1998 and
1997.
 
    The estimated fair value of the $130,000 term note payable (Note 6) is based
on the discounted value of contracted cash flows estimated using rates currently
offered for debt with similar maturities. This estimate assumes a ten percent
increase from Boykin's actual rate on the term note of 6.9%. At December 31,
1998 the estimated fair value was approximately $126,061.
 
  USE OF ESTIMATES
 
    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED
 
4.  INTERCOMPANY CONVERTIBLE NOTE:
 
    The $40,000 intercompany convertible note matures in November 2001. Interest
on the note accrues at a rate equal to 9.5% per annum, increasing to 9.75% per
annum beginning in November 1999, and is payable quarterly. The note may be
prepaid in full, but not in part, at any time. Boykin has the right to convert
the note, prior to maturity and in advance of any proposed prepayment by the
Partnership, into additional equity interests in the Partnership at face value
based on the $20 per share IPO price of Boykin Lodging's common shares. Boykin
Lodging is the sole general partner of the Partnership. The note is secured by
mortgages on certain hotel properties.
 
5.  CREDIT FACILITY:
 
    On June 11, 1998, Boykin entered into a new unsecured credit facility with a
group of banks, which enables Boykin to borrow up to $250,000, subject to
borrowing base and loan-to-value limitations, at a rate of interest that
fluctuates at LIBOR plus 1.40% to 1.75% (7.25% at December 31, 1998), as
defined. Boykin is required to pay a .25% fee on the unused portion of the
credit facility. The credit facility expires in June 2000, with an additional
one-year extension. The new facility replaced the Boykin's previous $150,000
credit facility, which was secured by first mortgages on thirteen of the hotels.
As of December 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997, Boykin had $156,000 and $91,750,
respectively, outstanding against the credit facility.
 
    The credit facility requires Boykin, among other things, to maintain a
minimum net worth, a coverage ratio of EBITDA to debt service, and a coverage
ratio of EBITDA to debt service and fixed charges. The company is required to
maintain the franchise agreement at each hotel and to maintain its REIT status.
Boykin was in compliance with its covenants at December 31, 1998 and December
31, 1997.
 
6.  TERM NOTE PAYABLE:
 
    On May 22, 1998, OLP entered into a $130,000 term loan agreement. The loan
expires in June 2023 and may be prepaid without penalty or defeasance after May
21, 2008. The loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 6.9% for ten years, and at
a new fixed rate to be determined thereafter. The loan requires interest-only
payments for the first two years, with principal repayments commencing in the
third loan year based on a 25-year amortization schedule. The loan is secured by
ten DoubleTree hotels. Under covenants in the loan agreement, assets of OLP are
not available to pay the creditors of any other Boykin entity, except to the
extent of permitted cash distributions from OLP to Boykin. Likewise, the assets
of other Boykin entities are not available to pay the creditors of OLP. The loan
agreement also requires OLP to hold funds in escrow for the payment of capital
expenditures, insurance and real estate taxes. The term note also requires OLP
to maintain certain financial covenants. OLP was in compliance with these
covenants at December 31, 1998.
 
    Maturities of long term debt at December 31, 1998 are as follows:

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED
 
7.  DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL SHARES:
 
  COMMON SHARES
 
    Holders of Boykin's common shares are entitled to receive dividends, as and
if declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available therefor.
The holders of common shares, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of
Boykin, are entitled to share ratably in any assets remaining after payment in
full of all liabilities of Boykin and all preferences of the holders of any
outstanding preferred shares. The common shares possess ordinary voting rights,
each share entitling the holder thereof to one vote. Holders of common shares do
not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors and do not have
preemptive rights.
 
  PREFERRED SHARES
 
    The Board of Directors is authorized to provide for the issuance of two
classes of preferred shares, each in one or more series, to establish the number
of shares in each series and to fix the designation, powers, preferences and
rights (other than voting rights) of each series and the qualifications,
limitations or restrictions thereon. An aggregate of ten million preferred
shares are authorized. Because the Board of Directors has the power to establish
the preferences and rights of each series of preferred shares, the Board of
Directors may afford the holders of any series of preferred shares preferences,
powers and rights senior to the rights of holders of common shares. The issuance
of preferred shares could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in
control of Boykin. No preferred shares had been issued or were outstanding as of
December 31, 1998 and 1997.
 
8.  LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS:
 
    Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, the limited partners of the
Partnership have exchange rights, which enable them to cause the Partnership to
pay cash for their interests in the Partnership, or at Boykin Lodging's
election, to exchange common shares for such interests. The exchange rights may
be exercised in whole or in part. The number of common shares initially issuable
to the limited partners upon exercise of the exchange rights was 1,378,000. The
number of shares issuable upon exercise of the exchange rights will be adjusted
upon the occurrence of stock splits, mergers, consolidations or similar pro rata
share transactions, which otherwise would have the effect of diluting the
ownership interests of the limited partners or the shareholders of Boykin
Lodging.
 
    During 1998 and 1997, the Partnership purchased 40,976 and 45,910,
respectively, of its outstanding limited partnership units for aggregate cash
consideration of $967 and $1,074, respectively. The excess of the aggregate
purchase price paid over the capital account balances of the units purchased was
$562 and $610, respectively and was recorded as additional investment in hotel
properties.
 
    As a result of the purchases of limited partnership units and the use of
proceeds from the issuances of common shares discussed in Note 1 to purchase
additional general partnership units, offset by the redemption of general
partnership units in conjunction with the repurchase of 114,500 common shares in
1998, Boykin's general partnership interest in the Partnership increased to
92.1% as of December 31, 1998 from 85.0% as of December 31, 1997.
 
9.  EXTRAORDINARY ITEM:
 
    In June 1998, in connection with obtaining the new unsecured credit facility
discussed in Note 5, Boykin wrote off existing deferred financing costs under
the former secured facility totaling $1,138. These charges, net of $110 of
minority interest, were reflected as an extraordinary item in the accompanying
consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 1998.

                             BOYKIN LODGING COMPANY
 
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED
 
    In connection with obtaining an increased credit facility in 1997 and
retiring certain assumed mortgage indebtedness, Boykin wrote off existing
deferred financing costs totaling $882. These charges, net of $172 of minority
interest, were reflected as an extraordinary item in the accompanying
consolidated statement of income for 1997.
 
    In acquiring the Initial Hotels in 1996, an extraordinary loss of $4,908 was
incurred which consisted of prepayment penalties of $5,821 and the write off of
deferred financing costs of $57, net of $970 of minority interest. This loss was
incurred from retirement of the underlying mortgage indebtedness of the hotels.
The debt was retired from the proceeds from the sale of the general partnership
interest to Boykin Lodging and from the proceeds from the intercompany
convertible note.
 
10. PERCENTAGE LEASE AGREEMENTS:
 
    The percentage leases have noncancelable remaining terms ranging from two to
ten years, subject to earlier termination on the occurrence of certain
contingencies, as defined. The rent due under each percentage lease is the
greater of minimum rent, as defined, or percentage rent. Percentage rent
applicable to room and other hotel revenues varies by lease and is calculated by
multiplying fixed percentages by the total amounts of such revenues over
specified threshold amounts. Both the minimum rent and the revenue thresholds
used in computing percentage rents applicable to room and other hotel revenues
are subject to annual adjustments based on increases in the United States
Consumer Price Index (CPI). Percentage rent applicable to food and beverage
revenues is calculated by multiplying fixed percentages by the total amounts of
such revenues. Percentage lease revenues were $69,747, $37,884 and $3,258,
respectively, for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 and the period
ended December 31, 1996, of which approximately $18,746, $12,303 and $306,
respectively, was in excess of minimum rent.
 
    Future minimum rentals (ignoring future CPI increases) to be received by
Boykin from BMC and from other lessees pursuant to the percentage leases for
each of the years in the period 1999 to 2003 and in total thereafter are as
follows:

11. SHARE COMPENSATION PLANS:
 
    Boykin has a Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) which provides for the granting
to eligible employees of incentive or nonqualified share options, restricted
shares, deferred shares, share purchase rights and share appreciation rights in
tandem with options, or any combination thereof. Boykin has reserved 1,000,000
common shares for issuance under the LTIP.

    Boykin has adopted the disclosure only provisions of SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," and applies Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its employee
share option plan. If Boykin Lodging had elected to recognize compensation costs
for the LTIP based on the fair value at the grant dates for option awards
consistent with the method prescribed by SFAS No. 123, reported amounts of net
income and earnings per share would have been changed to the pro forma amounts

12. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN:
 
    Effective January 1, 1997, Boykin adopted the Boykin Lodging Company Money
Purchase Pension Plan, a defined contribution plan which was established to
provide retirement benefits to eligible employees. Boykin's contributions for
the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 totaled $140 and $127, respectively.
 
13. COMMITMENTS:
 
    In general, the percentage leases require Boykin Lodging to establish
reserves for capital expenditures. Boykin Lodging intends to use the capital
expenditures reserve for the replacement and refurbishment of furniture,
fixtures and equipment and other capital expenditures although it may make other
uses of the amounts in the fund that it considers appropriate from time to time.
 
    Two of the hotels owned by Boykin and land related to another hotel are
subject to land leases which expire at various dates through 2068. All leases
require minimum annual rentals, and one lease requires percentage rent based on
hotel revenues. The other two leases are adjusted for increases in CPI every ten
years. Rental expense charged to operations related to these leases for the
years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 was $832 and $830, respectively. Rent
expense for the period ended December 31, 1996 was $108.
 
    Under the terms of the Red Lion merger agreement, Boykin committed to spend
$10,000 over a two-year period in capital renovations at some of the hotels in
that portfolio. Boykin plans on spending a total of $20,000 during this period
of which approximately $10,000 will be funded through hotel capital expenditure
reserves based on a percentage of hotel revenues. The remainder will be funded
from Boykin's operations and borrowings under its credit facility.
 
    The DoubleTree Kansas City purchased by Boykin K.C. in November 1997
underwent a substantial renovation which was completed in April 1997. The
renovation was funded, in part, with $15,110 of proceeds from tax increment
financing bonds issued by the Redevelopment Authority of Kansas City, Missouri.
Debt service on the bonds is to be funded entirely by sales taxes, payroll
taxes, real estate taxes, hotel taxes and other specified taxes and net revenues
generated by the hotel. However, if the specified taxes generated by the hotel
are insufficient to satisfy the debt service requirements of the bonds, Boykin
K.C. could be obligated to fund such shortfall. In the opinion of management of
Boykin, it is unlikely that Boykin K.C. will have to fund any debt service on
the bonds.
 
    Boykin's joint venture partner in Shawan has the right, commencing in July
1999, subject to certain performance criteria, to sell one-half of their
respective interests in this joint venture to Boykin at fair market value, with
Boykin retaining the option to fund the purchase price with cash or through the
issuance of common shares.

14. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
 
    The Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Boykin Lodging is the
majority shareholder of BMC. BMC and Westboy LLC, a subsidiary of BMC, were a
significant source of Boykin's percentage lease revenue through December 31,
1998 and 1997. At December 31, 1998 and 1997, Boykin had rent receivable of
$4,748 and $897, respectively, due from related party lessees.
 
    Boykin Lodging paid Spectrum Design Services $672 for design services in
1998. Of this total, $290 was for design services, $285 represented purchasing
services and $97 was reimbursement of expenses incurred while performing
services for the hotels during 1998.
 
    At December 31, 1998 and 1997, Boykin had a payable to related party lessees
of $2,971 and $1,069, respectively, primarily for the reimbursement of capital
expenditure costs incurred on behalf of Boykin Lodging.
 
    In September 1997, BMC purchased 20,000 common shares of Boykin for cash
consideration of $491. Boykin utilized the proceeds to purchase 20,000
additional general partner units in the Partnership.
 
    The Initial Hotels were acquired by the Partnership from entities in which
certain officers of Boykin and their affiliates had substantial ownership
interests. These officers and their affiliates received 1,222,143 limited
partnership units in exchange for their interests in the hotel properties.
 
15. STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS, SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES:
 
    In 1998, Boykin issued 3,109,606 common shares, valued at $80,333, as
partial consideration for the acquisition of OLP. Approximately $8,618 of
dividends and partnership distributions were declared but were not paid as of
December 31, 1998.
 
    In 1997, the Partnership assumed $10,338 of existing debt which was
immediately retired after closing of an acquisition. Approximately $4,893 of
dividends and Partnership distributions which were declared but were not paid as
of December 31, 1997.
 
    In 1996, in connection with the IPO, approximately $64,000 of historical net
book value in hotel properties was contributed to the Partnership in exchange
for Partnership units and the Partnership assumed approximately $140,000 of
debt. Approximately $3,091 of dividends and Partnership distributions were
declared but were not paid as of December 31, 1996.
 
    Interest paid during the years ended December 31, 1998, and 1997, and the
period ended December 31, 1996 was and $12,763, $2,059, and $25, respectively.
 
16. SUBSEQUENT EVENT:
 
    On February 1, 1999, Boykin formed a joint venture with AEW Partners III,
L.P. (AEW), an investment partnership managed by AEW Capital Management, L.P., a
Boston-based real estate investment firm. AEW will provide $50,000 of equity
capital for the joint venture, and Boykin will provide approximately $17,000 and
serve as the operating partner of the joint venture.
 
    Boykin and AEW plan to use the joint venture to take advantage of
acquisition opportunities in the lodging industry. The joint venture agreement
contains provisions for AEW and Boykin to double their respective capital
commitments under certain circumstances. In addition, as part of the transition,
Boykin will receive incentive returns based on the performance of acquired
assets as well as other compensation as a result of the joint venture's
activities.
 
    After the end of the two-year investment period, AEW has the option to
convert its capital invested in the joint venture into Boykin convertible
preferred shares. Pursuant to the venture agreements, AEW also

purchased a warrant for $500. The warrant gives AEW the right to buy up to
$20,000 of Boykin's preferred or common (at Boykin's election) shares for $16.48
a share. The warrant is exercisable after the two year investment period, and
expires one year after it becomes exercisable. The amount of the warrant will be
reduced and eliminated under the terms of the agreement on a dollar for dollar
basis as the last $20,000 of AEW's $50,000 capital is invested. If issued, the
preferred shares would be convertible into common shares at $16.48 per common
share and have a minimum cumulative annual dividend equivalent to $1.88 per
common share, Boykin's current common share dividend.
 
17. PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION (UNAUDITED):

18. QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS (UNAUDITED)
 
    Boykin Lodging's unaudited consolidated quarterly operating data for the
year ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 follows. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair
presentation of quarterly results have been reflected in the data. Quarterly
operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved
in succeeding quarters or years.

    In May 1998, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issued EITF 98-9,
"Accounting for Contingent Rent in Interim Periods." EITF 98-9 provided that a
lessor shall defer recognition of contingent rental income in interim periods
until specified targets that trigger the contingent income are met. Boykin
elected to adopt the provisions of EITF 98-9 in the third quarter of 1998,
retroactive to January 1, 1998, and restated its financial results for the first
and second quarters of 1998. In November 1998, the EITF rescinded its previous
ruling, allowing Boykin to revert back to its previous revenue recognition
policies before adopting EITF 98-9. Therefore, the following quarterly
information for 1998 has been restated from that previously reported on Forms
10-Q/A to reflect Boykin's decision to recognize percentage rent revenue in
accordance with the terms of its percentage lease agreements rather than
pursuant to the requirements of the rescinded EITF 98-9.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
To Boykin Lodging Company:
 
    We have audited the accompanying combined statements of operations,
partners' deficit and cash flows of the Initial Hotels, as defined in Note 1 to
the combined financial statements, for the period January 1, 1996 through
November 3, 1996. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit.
 
    We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
    In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the combined results of operations and cash flows of
the Initial Hotels for the period January 1, 1996 through November 3, 1996 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

    Boykin Management Company (former BMC) was involved in the development of
each of the above hotels except the Hampton Inn and Holiday Inn and has managed
all of the Initial Hotels excluding the Hampton Inn and Holiday Inn since their
respective inceptions. The hotels were owned by partnerships (Boykin
Partnerships) in which the shareholders of The Boykin Company (TBC), former
BMC's parent company, and certain officers and employees of former BMC
(collectively, BMC Affiliates) had significant direct and indirect ownership
interests.
 
    As of November 3, 1996, the Initial Hotels were owned as follows:

    Boykin Lodging Company is an Ohio corporation which has been established to
acquire equity interests in hotel properties.
 
    In November 1996, Boykin Lodging Company completed its initial public
offering (IPO) issuing a total of 9,516,250 common shares, including exercise of
the underwriters' over-allotment option. Boykin contributed all of the net
proceeds of the IPO to Boykin Hotel Properties, L.P., an Ohio limited
partnership (the Partnership) in exchange for an approximate 84.5% general
partnership interest and a

$40 million convertible note. Boykin is taxed as a real estate investment trust
pursuant to Sections 856 -- 860 of the Internal Revenue Code.
 
    The partners of the Boykin Partnerships contributed their respective
partnership interests to the Partnership in exchange for cash and partnership
interests. The Partnership used a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the
general partnership interest and the note to Boykin to retire mortgage
indebtedness encumbering the Initial Hotels. All of the Initial Hotels are
leased to Boykin Management Company Limited Liability Company (BMC) pursuant to
operating leases which contain provisions for rent based on the revenues of the
Initial Hotels. BMC is an affiliate of TBC.
 
  BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
    Management believes that these combined financial statements result in a
more meaningful presentation of the Initial Hotel businesses acquired by the
Partnership and thus appropriately reflect the results of operations of the
predecessor of Boykin Lodging Company. All significant intercompany transactions
have been eliminated.
 
2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
  ACCOUNTING PERIODS
 
    For the period ended November 3, 1996, POP's operating results were adjusted
to exclude the three-month period October 1, 1995 to December 31, 1995. The
total revenues and net loss of POP excluded from the combined statements of
operations for the period ended November 3, 1996 were $3,328 and $69,
respectively.
 
    In the opinion of management, the effect of nonconforming period ends is not
material to the combined financial statements.
 
  DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION
 
    Depreciation and amortization on hotel properties is computed using
primarily the straight-line method based upon the following estimated useful
lives:
 
<TABLE>
<S>                                                 <C>
Buildings and improvements........................   7-40 years
Furniture and equipment...........................   3-20 years
</TABLE>
 
    Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred; major
renewals and betterments are capitalized. Upon the sale or disposition of a
fixed asset, the asset and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the
accounts, and the gain or loss is included in the determination of net income or
loss.
 
  INCOME TAXES
 
    The Boykin Partnerships are not subject to federal or state income taxes;
however, they must file informational income tax returns and the partners must
take income or loss of the Boykin Partnerships into consideration when filing
their respective tax returns.
 
  ESTIMATES
 
    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

              NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED
 
  EXTRAORDINARY ITEM
 
    The refinancing and concurrent payment of a prepayment penalty on the
extinguishment of the BHJV note resulted in an extraordinary loss of $1,315 for
the period ended November 3, 1996.
 
3.  ACQUISITION:
 
    On February 8, 1996, BBG acquired the Holiday Inn and Hampton Inn from
Norman Associates and Norman Associates II in exchange for aggregate cash
consideration of $9,721. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and,
accordingly, the operating results of these hotels have been included in the
accompanying combined financial statements commencing February 8, 1996.
 
4.  MORTGAGE NOTES PAYABLE:
 
    The Initial Hotels had mortgage notes payable with interest rates ranging
from 8.54% to 13.25%. Certain of the notes required the payment of additional
interest upon maturity or repayment in full. The additional interest was charged
to interest expense utilizing the effective interest rate method over the
contractual term of the notes and was $1,383 for the period ended November 3,
1996. All of the mortgage notes payable were paid off with a portion of the
proceeds from the IPO.
 
5.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
 
    A substantial portion of the Initial Hotels' management and accounting
functions were performed by former BMC, for a fee computed as specified in each
hotel's management agreement. The base management fee is based on percentages of
hotel revenues of 3% or 3.5% except for the Holiday Inn and Hampton Inn for
which the fees were calculated as 5% of hotel revenues. In addition, if
specified operating results are achieved, an incentive fee was due to former
BMC. The management agreements with former BMC expired at various dates through
September 30, 2010.
 
    BBG paid a 1% asset management fee to an affiliate of its third-party owner.
 
    The Initial Hotels incurred interest expense totaling $628 for the period
ended November 3, 1996 related to advances and accrued interest on advances from
partners used to complete construction and to fund operations. Interest bore at
a rate of 10% per annum.
 
6.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
 
  CLAIMS AND LEGAL MATTERS
 
    Some of the hotels are involved in claims and legal matters incidental to
their businesses. In the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of these
matters will not have a material impact on the results of operations of the
hotels.
 
  FRANCHISE AGREEMENTS
 
    Under the terms of hotel franchise agreements, annual payments for franchise
royalties and reservation and advertising services are due from the hotels. For
eight of the hotels, fees are computed based upon percentages of gross room
revenues. The franchise agreements expire at various dates through 2014.
 
    The franchise agreements contain provisions whereby the franchisor would be
entitled to additional payments in the event the franchisees would terminate the
franchise agreements prior to maturity.

    The land on which the Berkeley Marina Marriott is located is leased under an
operating lease agreement expiring in 2033 which can be extended to 2051. The
lease requires minimum annual rentals of $100, and percentage rentals based on
hotel revenues. BMLP is responsible for all taxes, insurance and maintenance on
the property. Rental expense charged to operations for the land lease for the

To the Board of Directors of
Boykin Management Company
Limited Liability Company:
 
    We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Boykin
Management Company Limited Liability Company (an Ohio limited liability company)
and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related consolidated
statements of operations and comprehensive income, members' capital and cash
flows for the years then ended and the period November 4, 1996 (inception of
operations) through December 31, 1996. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
    We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
    In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Boykin Management Company
Limited Liability Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and 1997 and
the results of their operations and their cash flows of the years then ended and
the period November 4, 1996 (inception of operations) through December 31, 1996
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                         (DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS)
 
1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS:
 
    Boykin Management Company Limited Liability Company and its subsidiaries
(collectively, "BMC")
 
    - lease and operate full and limited service hotels located throughout the
      United States pursuant to long-term percentage leases;
 
    - manage full and limited service hotels located throughout the United
      States pursuant to management agreements;
 
    - provide national purchasing services to hotels; and
 
    - provide interior design services to hotels and other businesses.
 
2.  ORGANIZATION:
 
    BMC commenced operations on November 4, 1996 as an Ohio limited liability
company. BMC is indirectly owned by Robert W. Boykin (53.8%) and John E. Boykin
(46.2%). Robert W. Boykin is the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer
of Boykin Lodging Company.
 
    Pursuant to formation transactions related to the November 4, 1996 initial
public offering of Boykin Lodging, Boykin Management Company ("former BMC") and
BOPA Design Company (doing business as Spectrum Services), wholly owned
subsidiaries of The Boykin Company ("TBC"), were merged into subsidiaries of
BMC. In addition, Purchasing Concepts, Inc. ("PCI") contributed its assets to a
subsidiary of BMC and that subsidiary assumed PCI's liabilities. TBC and PCI are
related through common ownership. BMC and its subsidiaries are the successors to
the businesses of former BMC, Spectrum Services and PCI. As BMC, former BMC,
Spectrum Services and PCI were related through common ownership, there were no
purchase accounting adjustments to the historical carrying values of the assets
and liabilities of former BMC, Spectrum Services and PCI upon merger into or
contribution to the subsidiaries of BMC.
 
3.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

</TABLE>
 
    Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization is
calculated using the straight-line and accelerated methods based upon the
following estimated useful lives.

</TABLE>
 
    The management of BMC reviews the property and equipment for impairment when
events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amounts of the assets
may not be recoverable. When such conditions exist, management estimates the
future cash flows from operations and disposition of the property and equipment.
If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying
amount of the asset, an adjustment to reduce the carrying amount to the related
assets estimated fair market value would be recorded and an impairment loss
would be recognized.
 
    Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Upon the sale
or disposition of a fixed asset, the asset and related accumulated depreciation
are removed from the accounts and the gain or loss is included in the
determination of net income or loss.
 
  INVESTMENT IN BOYKIN LODGING COMPANY
 
    During 1997, BMC purchased 20,000 common shares of Boykin Lodging Company
for cash consideration of $491. BMC accounts for this investment in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting for
Certain Investment in Debt and Equity Securities". The investment is classified
as available-for-sale pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 115.
 
  COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
 
    Effective January 1, 1998, BMC adopted SFAS No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive
Income," which requires disclosure of comprehensive income and its components in
a full set of general-purpose financial statements. Comprehensive income is
defined as changes in shareholders' equity from nonowner sources which for BMC
consist of differences between the cost basis and fair market value of its
investment in 20,000 common shares in Boykin Lodging. For the years ended
December 31, 1998, and 1997 there was a difference of $281, and $(38)
respectively between net income and comprehensive income due to the decline
(increase) in market value of the investment.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED
 
  REVENUE RECOGNITION
 
    Revenue is recognized as earned. Ongoing credit evaluations are performed
and historical credit losses have been within management's expectations.
 
    For hotels operated by BMC pursuant to long-term percentage leases, BMC
recognizes the room, food, beverage and other hotel revenues as earned. For
hotels which are managed by a subsidiary of BMC pursuant to management
agreements, BMC recognizes management fee revenue as earned pursuant to the
terms of the respective agreements.
 
  PERCENTAGE LEASE EXPENSE
 
    For both annual and interim reporting purposes, BMC recognizes percentage
lease expense pursuant to the provisions of the related percentage lease
agreements.
 
  FRANCHISE COSTS
 
    The cost of obtaining the franchise licenses is paid by Boykin Hotel
Properties, L.P. (the Partnership), a partnership in which Boykin Lodging
Company has a general partnership interest, and the ongoing franchise fees are
paid by BMC. These fees are generally computed as a percentage of room revenue
for each hotel in accordance with franchise agreements.
 
  FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
    SFAS No. 107 requires all entities to disclose the fair value of certain
financial instruments in their financial statements. The primary financial
instruments of BMC are cash and cash equivalents, the fair value of which
approximates historical carrying value due to the short maturity of these
instruments, and the investment in the common shares of the Boykin Lodging
Company, which are carried at the year end market value as discussed above.
 
  INCOME TAXES
 
    BMC is a limited liability company which is taxed for federal income tax
purposes as a partnership and, accordingly, no income tax provision has been
recorded.
 
  USE OF ESTIMATES
 
    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
4.  PERCENTAGE LEASE AGREEMENTS:
 
  BMC LEASES ON 15 HOTELS
 
    BMC leases 15 hotels (the BMC Hotels) from the Partnership pursuant to
long-term percentage leases. The BMC Hotels are located in Cleveland, Ohio (2);
Columbus, Ohio; Buffalo, New York; Berkeley, California; Raleigh, North
Carolina; Charlotte, North Carolina (2); High Point, North Carolina; Knoxville,
Tennessee; Ft. Myers, Florida; Melbourne, Florida (2); Daytona Beach, Florida;
and French Lick, Indiana.

                   LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED
 
    The percentage leases have noncancellable remaining terms ranging from two
to nine years, subject to earlier termination on the occurrence of certain
contingencies, as defined. BMC is required to pay the higher of minimum rent, as
defined, or percentage rent. Percentage rent applicable to room and other hotel
revenue varies by lease and is calculated by multiplying fixed percentages by
the total amounts of such revenues over specified threshold amounts. Percentage
rent related to food and beverage revenues and other revenues, in some cases, is
based on fixed percentages of such revenues. Both the threshold amounts used in
computing percentage rent and minimum rent on room and other hotel revenues are
subject to adjustments as of January 1 of each year based on increases in the
United States Consumer Price Index.
 
    Other than real estate and personal property taxes, casualty insurance,
ground lease rental, and capital improvements, which are obligations of the
Partnership, the percentage leases require BMC to pay all costs and expenses
incurred in the operation of the BMC Hotels.
 
    The percentage leases require BMC to indemnify Boykin Lodging Company
against all liabilities, costs and expenses incurred by, imposed on or asserted
against the Partnership in the normal course of operating the BMC Hotels.
 
  WESTBOY LEASE ON TEN DOUBLETREE HOTELS:
 
    Effective January 1, 1998, Westboy, LLC (Westboy), a wholly-owned subsidiary
of BMC, entered into a long term lease agreement with Red Lion Inns Operating
L.P. (OLP) with terms similar to those described above. OLP was acquired by the
Boykin Lodging Company on May 22, 1998. The ten DoubleTree-licensed hotels (the
"DoubleTree Hotels") leased by Westboy are located in California, Oregon (3),
Washington (3), Colorado, Idaho and Nebraska. The hotels are managed by a
subsidiary of Promus Hotel Corporation. BMC made an initial capital contribution
to Westboy of $1,000, of which $900 was funded with a demand promissory note.
Assets of Westboy are not available to pay the creditors of any other entity,
except to the extent of permitted cash distributions from Westboy to BMC.
Similarly, except to the extent of the unpaid promissory note, the assets of BMC
are not available to pay the creditors of Westboy.
 
    Future minimum rent (ignoring CPI increases) to be paid by BMC and Westboy
under their respective percentage lease agreements at December 31, 1998 for each
of the years in the period 1999 to 2003 and in total thereafter is as follows:

5.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
 
    Percentage lease expense payable to the Partnership (including OLP in 1998)
was $56,708, $34,834 and $3,258 in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

                   LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED
 
    At December 31, 1998 and 1997, BMC (including Westboy) had receivables from
the Partnership (including OLP) of $2,971 and $1,069, respectively, primarily
for the reimbursement of capital expenditure costs incurred on behalf of the
Partnership and OLP.
 
    At December 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997, BMC (including Westboy) had
payables to the Partnership (including OLP) of $4,748 and $897, respectively,
for amounts due pursuant to the percentage leases.
 
6.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
 
  CLAIMS AND LEGAL MATTERS
 
    BMC is involved in claims and legal matters incidental to its businesses. In
the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of these matters will not
have a material impact on the financial position or results of operations of
BMC.
 
  FRANCHISE AGREEMENTS
 
    Under the terms of the hotel franchise agreements, annual payments for
franchise royalties and reservation and advertising services are due from the
hotels. Franchise fees are computed based upon percentages of gross room
revenues. At December 31, 1998, the franchise royalty fees payable ranged from
3% to 6% of room revenues while the fees for advertising services ranged from
 .8% to 4.0%. The franchise agreements expire at various dates through 2018. The
hotel located in French Lick, Indiana has no franchise affiliation.
 
  MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
 
    On January 1, 1998 Westboy entered into a management agreement with Promus
hotels (formerly Red Lion Hotels, Inc.) The agreement calls for a base and
incentive management fee. The base management fee represents 3% of annual gross
hotel revenues. The incentive menagement fee adjusts based on certain financial
thresholds. Total fees paid to Promus in 1998 were $8,620.
 
  OTHER
 
    Robert W. Boykin and John E. Boykin have entered in an agreement with the
Boykin Lodging Company pursuant to which they have agreed that any distributions
received from BMC (in excess of their tax liabilities with respect to the income
of BMC) for a period of 10 years, and any net cash proceeds from any sale of BMC
within the same 10-year period, will be used to purchase units in the
Partnership or common shares of Boykin Lodging Company. Any units or common
shares so purchased must be held for at least two years from the purchase date.
 
    Pursuant to an agreement with Boykin Lodging Company, during the first 10
years after the inception of operations of BMC, 50% of BMC's consolidated
earnings (after distributions to cover income taxes) will be retained in BMC
until its consolidated net worth reaches 25% of the aggregate annual rent
payments due under the percentage lease agreements (and will be retained
thereafter during that period to maintain that level).

7.  EMPLOYEE BENEFITS PLANS:
 
    During 1997, BMC established a 401(k) plan for substantially all employees
under which a portion of employee contributions are matched by BMC. BMC matching
contributions for 1998 and 1997 were $104 and $91, respectively.
 
    Effective January 1, 1997, BMC established an incentive compensation plan
for certain senior executives. The dollar amounts of individual awards are
deemed to be invested in common shares of Boykin Lodging Company. BMC pays to
each participant cash equal to the per share dividend amount paid by Boykin
Lodging Company multiplied by the number of Boykin's shares credited to each
participant's account. For the year ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, BMC has
recorded a provision of $1 and $199 respectively with respect to this plan,
which represents the amortization over the vesting period of the prepaid
compensation associated with the awards.
 
8.  PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION (UNAUDITED):
 
    The following unaudited pro forma condensed statements of operations for the
years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 are presented as if BMC (including
Westboy) leased and operated from January 1, 1997 all the BMC Hotels and the
DoubleTree Hotels leased and/or operated as of December 31, 1998.
 
    The pro forma condensed statements of operations do not purport to present
what actual results of operations would have been if the BMC Hotels and the
DoubleTree Hotels were leased and/or operated by BMC (including Westboy)
pursuant to the percentage leases from January 1, 1997 or to project results for
any future period.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
To Boykin Management Company, Purchasing Concepts, Inc.
and Bopa Design Company:
 
    We have audited the accompanying combined statement of revenues and expenses
of Boykin Management Company (an Ohio corporation), Purchasing Concepts, Inc.
(an Ohio corporation) and Bopa Design Company (an Ohio corporation) for the
period January 1, 1996 through November 3, 1996. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Companies' management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
 
    We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
    The accompanying financial statements have been prepared to present the
combined revenues and expenses of Boykin Management Company, Purchasing
Concepts, Inc. and Bopa Design Company which were merged into or contributed to
subsidiaries of Boykin Management Company Limited Liability Company pursuant to
the formation transactions referred to in Note 2. These financial statements are
not intended to be a complete presentation of the combined revenues and expenses
of Boykin Management Company, Purchasing Concepts, Inc. and Bopa Design Company.
 
    In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the combined revenues and expenses of Boykin
Management Company, Purchasing Concepts, Inc. and Bopa Design Company for the
period January 1, 1996 through November 3, 1996 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

                     NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
                         (DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS)
 
1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESSES:
 
    Boykin Management Company (former BMC), a wholly owned subsidiary of The
Boykin Company (TBC), and certain of its subsidiaries managed and operated full
and limited service hotels located throughout the United States pursuant to
management agreements. See Note 4 for further discussion of the management
agreements. Purchasing Concepts, Inc. (PCI), related to TBC through common
ownership, provided national purchasing services to hotels and restaurants. Bopa
Design Company (doing business as Spectrum Services), a wholly owned subsidiary
of TBC since January 1, 1996, provided interior design services to hotels and
other businesses. Certain of the hotels managed by former BMC and served by PCI
and Spectrum Services were related to former BMC, PCI and Spectrum Services
through common ownership.
 
2.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
 
    Pursuant to formation transactions related to the November 4, 1996 initial
public offering of Boykin Lodging Company, former BMC and Spectrum Services
merged into subsidiaries of Boykin Management Company Limited Liability Company
(BMC), a newly formed Ohio Limited Liability Company. Prior to such mergers,
former BMC and Spectrum Services transferred certain assets and liabilities to
TBC pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement. In addition, PCI
contributed its assets to a subsidiary of BMC and that subsidiary assumed PCI's
liabilities.
 
    BMC and its subsidiaries are the successors to the businesses of former BMC,
PCI and Spectrum Services. BMC is the lessee of nine hotels formerly affiliated
with TBC which were acquired by Boykin Hotel Properties, L.P., a partnership in
which Boykin Lodging Company is the general partner. The hotels are leased
pursuant to long-term leases which provide for the payment of rents based on
percentages of hotel revenues.
 
    The accompanying financial statements present on a historical combined basis
the revenues and expenses of former BMC, PCI and Spectrum Services that
ultimately were merged into BMC and its subsidiaries. Items of revenues and
expenses related to assets and liabilities of former BMC, PCI and Spectrum
Services which were not merged into or contributed to BMC and its subsidiaries
and have been excluded from the accompanying financial statements. Accordingly,
the accompanying financial statements are not intended to be a complete
presentation of the revenues and expenses of former BMC, PCI and Spectrum
Services (collectively, the Combined Entities).
 
3.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
    The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual
basis of accounting. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have
been eliminated.
 
  ACCOUNTING PERIODS
 
    Former BMC had a March 31 fiscal year-end, whereas PCI and Spectrum Services
utilized calendar year-ends. The accompanying financial statements for the
period January 1, 1996 through November 3, 1996 combine the accounts of former
BMC, PCI and Spectrum Services for the period January 1, 1996 through November
3, 1996. For the period ended November 3, 1996, the operating results of former
BMC have been adjusted to include the three-month period January 1, 1996 through
March 31, 1996. The total

                             AS OF NOVEMBER 3, 1996
 
              NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED
 
                         (DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS)
 
revenues and revenues in excess of expenses of former BMC included in the
combined statements of revenues and expenses for the period January 1, 1996
through November 3, 1996 were $208, respectively.
 
  INCOME TAXES
 
    Income tax attributes of the Combined Entities were not assumed by BMC or
its subsidiaries. As such, the accompanying combined statement of revenues and
expenses do not reflect any federal income tax provisions as BMC and its
subsidiaries were formed as pass-through entities for tax purposes.
 
    The taxable income of former BMC was included in the consolidated federal
income tax return of its parent company, TBC. PCI and Spectrum Services (prior
to January 1, 1996) were S Corporations for federal income tax reporting
purposes.
 
  DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION EXPENSE
 
    Depreciation and amortization expense is computed using the straight-line
and declining balance methods based upon the following estimated useful lives:
 
<TABLE>
<S>                                                <C>
                                                   7-10
Leasehold improvements...........................  years
                                                   3-10
Furniture and equipment..........................  years
</TABLE>
 
    Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred; major
renewals and betterments are capitalized. Upon the sale or disposition of a
fixed asset, the asset and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the
accounts and the gain or loss is included in the statement of revenues and
expenses.
 
  REVENUE RECOGNITION
 
    Revenue is recognized as earned pursuant to the terms of hotel management
agreements with respect to fomer BMC, and as the services of PCI and Spectrum
Services are rendered.
 
  USE OF ESTIMATES
 
    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
4.  REVENUES:
 
    Former BMC has management agreements with several entities to manage the
operations of hotels and restaurants. Generally, former BMC receives a fee based
upon percentages of revenues. In certain management contracts, former BMC is
entitled to additional incentive fees in the event the managed property achieves
specified operating results. Certain contracts also include limitations on
management fees, or restrict payment of earned fees to former BMC based upon the
defined cash flow of the related property. PCI provides national purchasing
services to hotels and restaurants and Spectrum Services provides interior
design services to hotels and other businesses.

              NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- CONTINUED
 
                         (DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS)
 
    Revenues from affiliates in the accompanying combined statement of revenues
and expenses represent revenues earned by the Combined Entities on goods or
services provided to various hotel properties in which the respective owners of
the Combined Entities or their affiliates had direct or indirect ownership
interests.
 
    Other revenues consisted primarily of telephone commissions.
 
5.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
 
    In October 1992, BMC entered into a five-year lease agreement for office
space. The lease provides for two, three-year renewal options. The annual rent
is $126. As an incentive to enter into the lease, BMC received a $70 payment
from the lessor which is being recognized as a reduction of rent expense on a
straight-line basis over the five-year lease term.
 
    The Combined Entities are involved in claims and legal matters incidental to
their businesses. In the opinion of management of the Combined Entities, the
ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material impact on the
results of operations of the Combined Entities.
 
6.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
 
    The shareholders of TBC, certain of their family members and certain
officers of former BMC are material partners in Boykin Columbus Joint Venture
(BCJV). Former BMC advanced funds to BCJV in connection with the construction of
a hotel in Columbus, Ohio and to fund operating deficits of that hotel. The
loans receivable from BCJV accrued interest at 10% per annum. Interest income
earned on the loans to BCJV was $223 in the period January 1, 1996 through
November 3, 1996. The loans and interest receivable from BCJV were paid off in
connection with the initial public offering of Boykin Lodging Company.

                         DIVISION A:  PREFERRED SHARES

     I.   THE CLASS A CUMULATIVE PREFERRED SHARES.  The Cumulative Preferred 
Shares shall have the following express terms:

          Section 1.  SERIES.  The Cumulative Preferred Shares may be issued 
from time to time in one or more series.  All Cumulative Preferred Shares 
shall be of equal rank and shall be identical, except in respect of the 
matters that may be fixed by the Board of Directors as hereinafter provided, 
and each share of a series shall be identical with all other shares of such 
series, except as to the dates from which dividends shall accrue and be 
cumulative.  All Cumulative Preferred Shares shall rank on a parity with the 
Noncumulative Preferred Shares and shall be identical to all Noncumulative 
Preferred Shares except (1) in respect of the matters that may be fixed by 
the Board of Directors as provided in clauses (a) through (i), inclusive, of 
this Section 1 and (2) only dividends on Cumulative Preferred Shares shall be 
cumulative as set forth herein.   Subject to the provisions of Sections 2 
through 5, both inclusive, and of Items III and IV of this Division, which 
provisions shall apply to all Cumulative Preferred Shares, the Board of 
Directors hereby is authorized to cause such shares to be issued in one or 
more series and with respect to each such series to determine and fix prior 
to the issuance thereof (and thereafter, to the extent provided in clause (b) 
of this Section) the following:

          (a)  The designation of the series, which may be by distinguishing 
number, letter or title;

          (b)  The authorized number of shares of the series, which number 
the Board of Directors may (except when otherwise provided in the creation of 
the series) increase or decrease from time to time before or after the 
issuance thereof (but not below the number of shares thereof then 
outstanding);

          (c)  The dividend rate or rates of the series, including the means 
by which such rates may be established;

          (d)  The date or dates from which dividends shall accrue and be 
cumulative and the dates on which and the period or periods for which 
dividends, if declared, shall be payable, including the means by which such 
dates and periods may be established;

<PAGE>

          (e)  The redemption rights and price or prices, if any, for shares 
of the series;

          (f)  The terms and amount of the sinking fund, if any, for the 
purchase or redemption of shares of the series;

          (g)  The amounts payable on shares of the series in the event of 
any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the 
affairs of the Corporation;

          (h)  Whether the shares of the series shall be convertible into 
Common Shares or shares of any other class and, if so, the conversion rate or 
rates or price or prices, any adjustments thereof and all other terms and 
conditions upon which such conversion may be made; and

          (i)  Restrictions (in addition to those set forth elsewhere in 
these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation) on the issuance of 
shares of the same series or of any other class or series.

The Board of Directors is authorized to adopt from time to time amendments to 
the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, fixing, with 
respect to each such series, the matters described in clauses (a) through 
(i), both inclusive, of this Section and is authorized to take such actions 
with respect thereto as may be required by law in order to effect such 
amendments.

          Section 2.  DIVIDENDS.

          (a)  The holders of Cumulative Preferred Shares of each series, in 
preference to the holders of Common Shares and of any other class of shares 
ranking junior to the Cumulative Preferred Shares, shall be entitled to 
receive out of any funds legally available therefor, when and as declared by 
the Board of Directors, dividends in cash at the rate or rates for such 
series fixed in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 above and no 
more, payable on the dates fixed for such series.  Such dividends shall 
accrue and be cumulative, in the case of shares of each particular series, 
from and after the date or dates fixed with respect to such series.  Any 
dividend payment made on the Cumulative Preferred Shares shall first be 
credited against the earliest accrued but unpaid dividends on such Cumulative 
Preferred Shares.  No dividends shall be paid upon or declared or set apart 
for any series of the Cumulative Preferred Shares for any dividend period 
unless at the same time (i) a like proportionate dividend for the dividend 
periods terminating on the same or any earlier date, ratably in proportion to 
the respective annual dividend rates fixed therefor, shall have been paid 
upon or declared or set apart for all Cumulative Preferred Shares of all 
series then issued and outstanding and entitled to receive such dividend and 
(ii) the dividends payable for the dividend periods terminating on the same 
or any earlier date (but only with respect to the then current dividend 
period), ratably in proportion to the respective dividend rates fixed 
therefor, shall have been paid upon or declared or set apart for all 
Noncumulative Preferred Shares then issued and outstanding and entitled to 
receive such dividends.

          (b)  So long as any Cumulative Preferred Shares shall be 
outstanding no dividend, except a dividend payable in Common Shares or other 
shares ranking junior to the Cumulative Preferred Shares, shall be paid or 
declared or any distribution be made, except as aforesaid, in respect of the 
Common Shares or any other shares ranking junior to the Cumulative Preferred 
Shares, nor shall any Common Shares or any other shares ranking junior to the 
Cumulative Preferred Shares be purchased, retired or otherwise acquired by 
the Corporation, except out of the proceeds of the sale of Common Shares or 
other shares of the Corporation ranking junior to the Cumulative Preferred 
Shares received by the Corporation subsequent to the date of first issuance 
of Cumulative Preferred Shares of any series, unless:

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

               (1)  All accrued and unpaid dividends on Cumulative Preferred 
Shares, including the full dividends for all current dividend periods, shall 
have been declared and paid or a sum sufficient for payment thereof set 
apart; 

               (2)  All unpaid dividends on Noncumulative Preferred Shares 
for the then current dividend period shall have been declared and paid or a 
sum sufficient for payment therefor set apart; and

               (3)  There shall be no arrearages with respect to the 
redemption of Cumulative Preferred Shares or Noncumulative Preferred Shares 
of any series from any sinking fund provided for shares of such series in 
accordance with Section 1 of this Division A.I or Section 1 of Division A.II.

          (c)  The foregoing restrictions on the payment of dividends or 
other distributions on, or on the purchase, redemption, retirement or other 
acquisition of, Common Shares or any other shares ranking on a parity with or 
junior to the Cumulative Preferred Shares shall be inapplicable to (i) any 
payments in lieu of issuance of fractional shares thereof, whether upon any 
merger, conversion, stock dividend or otherwise, (ii) the conversion of 
Cumulative Preferred Shares or Noncumulative Preferred Shares into Common 
Shares, and (iii) the exercise by the Corporation of its rights pursuant to 
Division C or any similar provision hereafter contained in these Amended and 
Restated Articles of Incorporation with respect to any other class or series 
of shares hereafter created or authorized.

          (d)  If, for any taxable year, the Corporation elects to designate 
as "capital gain dividends" (as defined in Section 857 of the Internal 
Revenue Code), any portion (the "Capital Gains Amount") of the dividends paid 
or made available for the year to holders of all classes of stock (the "Total 
Dividends"), then the portion of the Capital Gains Amount that shall be 
allocable to holders of the Cumulative Preferred Shares shall be the amount 
that the total dividends paid or made available to the holders of the 
Cumulative Preferred Shares for the year bears to the Total Dividends.

          Section 3.  REDEMPTION.

          (a)  Subject to the express terms of each series of Cumulative 
Preferred Shares, the Corporation:

               (1)  May, from time to time at the option of the Board of 
Directors, redeem all or any part of any redeemable series of Cumulative 
Preferred Shares at the time outstanding at the applicable redemption price 
for such series fixed in accordance with Section 1 of this Division A.I.; and

               (2)  Shall, from time to time, make such redemptions of each 
series of Cumulative Preferred Shares as may be required to fulfill the 
requirements of any sinking fund provided for shares of such series at the 
applicable sinking fund redemption price fixed in accordance with Section 1 
of this Division A.I.; 

and shall in each case pay all accrued and unpaid dividends to the redemption 
date.

          (b)  (1)  Notice of every such redemption shall be mailed, postage 
prepaid, to the holders of record of the Cumulative Preferred Shares to be 
redeemed at their respective addresses then appearing on the books of the 
Corporation, not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the date 
fixed for such redemption, or such other time prior thereto as the Board of 
Directors shall fix for any series pursuant to Section 1 of this Division 
prior to the issuance thereof.  At any time after notice as provided above 
has been deposited in the mail, the Corporation may deposit the aggregate 
redemption price of Cumulative Preferred Shares to be redeemed, together with 
accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to the redemption date, with any bank or 
trust company in Cleveland, Ohio, or New York, New York, 

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

having capital and surplus of not less than $100,000,000, named in such 
notice and direct that there be paid to the respective holders of the 
Cumulative Preferred Shares so to be redeemed amounts equal to the redemption 
price of the Cumulative Preferred Shares so to be redeemed, together with 
such accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, on surrender of the share 
certificate or certificates held by such holders; and upon the deposit of 
such notice in the mail and the making of such deposit of money with such 
bank or trust company, such holders shall cease to be shareholders with 
respect to such shares; and from and after the time such notice shall have 
been so deposited and such deposit of money shall have been so made, such 
holders shall have no rights or claim against the Corporation with respect to 
such shares, except only the right to receive such money from such bank or 
trust company without interest or to exercise before the redemption date any 
unexpired privilege of conversion.  If less than all of the outstanding 
Cumulative Preferred Shares are to be redeemed, the Corporation shall select 
by lot the shares so to be redeemed in such manner as shall be prescribed by 
the Board of Directors.

               (2)  If the holders of Cumulative Preferred Shares which have 
been called for redemption shall not within six years after such deposit 
claim the amount deposited for the redemption thereof, any such bank or trust 
company shall, upon demand, pay over to the Corporation such unclaimed 
amounts and thereupon such bank or trust company and the Corporation shall be 
relieved of all responsibility in respect thereof and to such holders.

          (c)  Any Cumulative Preferred Shares which are (1) redeemed by the 
Corporation pursuant to this Section, (2) purchased and delivered in 
satisfaction of any sinking fund requirement provided for shares of such 
series, (3) converted in accordance with the express terms thereof, or (4) 
otherwise acquired by the Corporation, shall resume the status of authorized 
but unissued Cumulative Preferred Shares without serial designation.

          (d)  Except in connection with the exercise of the Corporation's 
rights pursuant to Division C or any similar provisions hereafter contained 
in these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, the Corporation may 
not purchase or redeem (for sinking fund purposes or otherwise) less than all 
of the Cumulative Preferred Shares then outstanding except in accordance with 
a purchase offer made to all holders of record of Cumulative Preferred 
Shares, unless all dividends on all Cumulative Preferred Shares then 
outstanding for all previous and current dividend periods shall have been 
declared and paid or funds therefor set apart and all accrued sinking fund 
obligations applicable thereto shall have been complied with.

          Section 4.  LIQUIDATION.

          (a)  (1)  In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, 
dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, the holders of 
Cumulative Preferred Shares of any series shall be entitled to receive in 
full out of the assets of the Corporation, including its capital, before any 
amount shall be paid or distributed among the holders of the Common Shares or 
any other shares ranking junior to the Cumulative Preferred Shares, the 
amounts fixed with respect to shares of such series in accordance with 
Section 1 of this Division A.I., plus an amount equal to all dividends 
accrued and unpaid thereon to the date of payment of the amount due pursuant 
to such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the 
Corporation.  If the net assets of the Corporation legally available therefor 
are insufficient to permit the payment upon all outstanding Cumulative 
Preferred Shares and Noncumulative Preferred Shares of the full preferential 
amount to which they are respectively entitled, then such net assets shall be 
distributed ratably upon all outstanding Cumulative Preferred Shares and 
Noncumulative Preferred Shares in proportion to the full preferential amount 
to which each such share is entitled.

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

               (2)  After payment to the holders of Cumulative Preferred 
Shares of the full preferential amounts as aforesaid, the holders of 
Cumulative Preferred Shares, as such, shall have no right or claim to any of 
the remaining assets of the Corporation.

          (b)  The merger or consolidation of the Corporation into or with 
any other Corporation, the merger of any other Corporation into it, or the 
sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all the assets of the 
Corporation, shall not be deemed to be a dissolution, liquidation or winding 
up for purposes of this Section.

          Section 5.  VOTING.

          (a)  The holders of Cumulative Preferred Shares shall have no 
voting rights, except as provided in this Section or required by law.

          (b)  (1)  If, and so often as, the Corporation shall be in default 
in the payment of dividends on any series of Cumulative Preferred Shares at 
the time outstanding, whether or not earned or declared, for a number of 
dividend payment periods (whether or not consecutive) which in the aggregate 
contain at least 540 days, the holders of all series of Cumulative Preferred 
Shares, voting separately as a class, shall be entitled to elect, as herein 
provided, two members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation; but the 
holders of the Cumulative Preferred Shares shall not exercise such special 
class voting rights except at meetings of such shareholders for the election 
of directors at which the holders of not less than 50% of the Cumulative 
Preferred Shares are present in person or by proxy; and the special class 
voting rights provided for in this paragraph when the same shall have become 
vested shall remain so vested until all accrued and unpaid dividends on the 
Cumulative Preferred Shares then outstanding shall have been paid or declared 
and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set aside for payment, whereupon 
the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Shares shall be divested of their 
special class voting rights in respect of subsequent elections of directors, 
subject to the revesting of such special class voting rights in the event 
above specified in this paragraph.

               (2)  On a dividend payment default entitling holders of 
Cumulative Preferred Shares to elect two directors as specified in paragraph 
(1) of this Subsection, a special meeting of such holders for the purpose of 
electing such directors shall be called by the Secretary of the Corporation 
upon written request of, or may be called by, the holders of record of at 
least 10% of the Cumulative Preferred Shares with respect to which such 
default exists and notice thereof shall be given in the same manner as that 
required for the annual meeting of shareholders; but the Corporation shall 
not be required to call such special meeting if the annual meeting of 
shareholders shall be called to be held within 90 days after the date of 
receipt of the foregoing written request from the holders of Cumulative 
Preferred Shares.  At any meeting at which the holders of Cumulative 
Preferred Shares shall be entitled to elect directors, holders of 50% of the 
Cumulative Preferred Shares, present in person or by proxy, shall be 
sufficient to constitute a quorum, and the vote of the holders of a majority 
of such shares so present at any such meeting at which there shall be such a 
quorum shall be sufficient to elect the members of the Board of Directors 
which the holders of Cumulative Preferred Shares are entitled to elect as 
herein provided. Notwithstanding any provision of these Articles of 
Incorporation or the Code of Regulations of the Corporation or any action 
taken by the holders of any class of shares fixing the number of directors of 
the Corporation, the two directors who may be elected by the holders of 
Cumulative Preferred Shares pursuant to this Subsection shall serve in 
addition to any other directors then in office or proposed to be elected 
otherwise than pursuant to this Subsection.  Nothing in this Subsection shall 
prevent any change otherwise permitted in the total number of or 
classifications of directors of the Corporation nor require the resignation 
of any director elected otherwise than pursuant to this Subsection. 
Notwithsanding any classification of the other directors of the Corporation, 
the two directors elected by the holders of Cumulative Preferred Shares shall 
be elected annually for terms expiring at the next succeeding annual meeting 
of shareholders.

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

               (3)  Upon any divesting of the special class voting rights of 
the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Shares in respect of elections of 
directors as provided in this Subsection, the terms of office of all 
directors then in office elected by such holders shall terminate immediately 
thereupon.  If the office of any director elected by such holders voting as a 
class becomes vacant by reason of death, resignation, removal from office or 
otherwise, the remaining director elected by such holders voting as a class 
may elect a successor who shall hold office for the unexpired term in respect 
of which such vacancy occurred.

          (c)  The affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of 
the Cumulative Preferred Shares at the time outstanding, voting separately as 
a class, given in person or by proxy either in writing or at a meeting called 
for the purpose, shall be necessary to effect either of the following:

               (1)  Any amendment, alteration or repeal, whether by merger, 
consolidation or otherwise, of any of the provisions of the Amended and 
Restated Articles of Incorporation or of the Code of Regulations of the 
Corporation which affects adversely and materially the preferences or voting 
or other rights of the holders of Cumulative Preferred Shares which are set 
forth in these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation; but neither an 
amendment of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation so as to 
authorize, create or change the authorized or outstanding number of 
Cumulative Preferred Shares or of any shares ranking on a parity with or 
junior to the Cumulative Preferred Shares nor an amendment of the Code of 
Regulations so as to change the number or classification of directors of the 
Corporation shall be deemed to affect adversely and materially preferences or 
voting or other rights of the holders of Cumulative Preferred Shares; or

               (2)  The authorization, creation or increase in the authorized 
number of any shares, or of any security convertible into shares, in either 
case ranking prior to such Cumulative Preferred Shares. 

          (d)  If, and only to the extent, that (1) Cumulative Preferred 
Shares are issued in more than one series and (2) Ohio law permits the 
holders of a series of a class of shares to vote separately as a class, the 
affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of each series of 
Cumulative Preferred Shares at the time outstanding, voting separately as a 
class, given in person or by proxy either in writing or at a meeting called 
for the purpose of voting on such matters, shall be required for any 
amendment, alteration or repeal, whether by merger, consolidation or 
otherwise, of any of the provisions of these Amended and Restated Articles of 
Incorporation or of the Code of Regulations of the Corporation which affects 
adversely and materially the preferences or voting or other rights of the 
holders of such series which are set forth in these Amended and Restated 
Articles of Incorporation; but neither an amendment of these Amended and 
Restated Articles of Incorporation, so as to authorize, create or change the 
authorized or outstanding number of Cumulative Preferred Shares or of any 
shares ranking on a parity with or junior to the Cumulative Preferred Shares 
nor an amendment of the Code of Regulations so as to change the number or 
classification of directors of the Corporation, shall be deemed to affect 
adversely and materially the preferences or voting or other rights of the 
holders of such series.

     II.  THE CLASS A NONCUMULATIVE PREFERRED SHARES.  The Noncumulative 
Preferred Shares shall have the following express terms:

          Section 1.  SERIES.  The Noncumulative Preferred Shares may be 
issued from time to time in one or more series.  All Noncumulative Preferred 
Shares shall be of equal rank and shall be identical, except in respect of 
the matters that may be fixed by the Board of Directors as hereinafter 
provided, and each share of a series shall be identical with all other shares 
of such series, except as to the dates on which and the periods for which 
dividends may be payable.  All Noncumulative Preferred Shares shall rank on a 
parity with the Cumulative Preferred Shares and shall be identical to all 
Cumulative Preferred Shares 

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

except (1) in respect of the matters that may be fixed by the Board of 
Directors as provided in clauses (a) through (i), inclusive, of this Section 
1 and (2) only dividends on the Cumulative Preferred Shares are cumulative as 
set forth in Division A.I. herein.  Subject to the provisions of Sections 2 
through 5, both inclusive, and of Items III and IV of this Division, which 
provisions shall apply to all Noncumulative Preferred Shares, the Board of 
Directors hereby is authorized to cause such shares to be issued in one or 
more series and with respect to each such series to determine and fix prior 
to the issuance thereof (and thereafter, to the extent provided in clause (b) 
of this Section) the following:

          (a)  The designation of the series, which may be by distinguishing

          (b)  The authorized number of shares of the series, which number 
the Board of Directors may (except when otherwise provided in the creation of 
the series) increase or decrease from time to time before or after the 
issuance thereof (but not below the number of shares thereof then 
outstanding);

          (c)  The dividend rate or rates of the series, including the means 
by which such rates may be established;

          (d)  The dates on which and the period or periods for which 
dividends, if declared, shall be payable, including the means by which such 
dates and periods may be established;

          (e)  The redemption rights and price or prices, if any, for shares

          (g)  The amounts payable on shares of the series in the event of 
any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the 
affairs of the Corporation;

          (h)  Whether the shares of the series shall be convertible into 
Common Shares or shares of any other class and, if so, the conversion rate or

The Board of Directors is authorized to adopt from time to time amendments to

respect to each such series, the matters described in clauses (a) through

with respect thereto as may be required by law in order to effect such 
amendments.

          Section 2.  DIVIDENDS.

          (a)  The holders of Noncumulative Preferred Shares of each series, 
in preference to the holders of Common Shares and of any other class of 
shares ranking junior to the Noncumulative Preferred Shares, shall be 
entitled to receive out of any funds legally available therefor, if, when and 
as declared by the Board of Directors, dividends in cash at the rate or rates 
for such series fixed in accordance with the provisions of Section 1 above 
and no more, payable on the dates fixed for such series.  Such dividends 
shall accrue, in the case of shares of each particular series, from and after 
the date or dates fixed with respect to such series; provided, however, that 
if the Board of Directors fails to declare a dividend payable on a dividend 
payment date on any Noncumulative Preferred Shares, the holders of the 
Noncumulative Preferred Shares shall have no right to receive a dividend in 
respect of the dividend period ending on such 

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

dividend payment date, and the Corporation shall have no obligation to pay 
the dividend accrued for such period, whether or not dividends on such 
Noncumulative Preferred Shares are declared payable on any future dividend 
payment date.  Any dividend payment made on the Noncumulative Preferred 
Shares shall first be credited against the earliest declared but unpaid 
dividend on such Noncumulative Preferred Shares.  No dividends shall be paid 
upon or declared or set apart for any series of the Noncumulative Preferred 
Shares for any dividend period unless at the same time (i) a like 
proportionate dividend for the then current dividend period, ratably in 
proportion to the respective annual dividend rates fixed therefor, shall have 
been paid upon or declared or set apart for all Noncumulative Preferred 
Shares of all series then issued and outstanding and entitled to receive such 
dividend and (ii) the dividends payable for the dividend periods terminating 
on the same or any earlier date, ratably in proportion to the respective 
dividend rates fixed therefor, shall have been paid upon or declared and set 
part for all Cumulative Preferred Shares then issued and outstanding and 
entitled to receive such dividends.

          (b)  So long as any Noncumulative Preferred Shares shall be 
outstanding no dividend, except a dividend payable in Common Shares or other 
shares ranking junior to the Noncumulative Preferred Shares, shall be paid or 
declared or any distribution be made, except as aforesaid, in respect of the 
Common Shares or any other shares ranking junior to the Noncumulative 
Preferred Shares, nor shall any Common Shares or any other shares ranking 
junior to the Noncumulative Preferred Shares be purchased, retired or 
otherwise acquired by the Corporation, except out of the proceeds of the sale 
of Common Shares or other shares of the Corporation ranking junior to the 
Noncumulative Preferred Shares received by the Corporation subsequent to the 
date of first issuance of Noncumulative Preferred Shares of any series, 
unless:

               (1)  All accrued and unpaid dividends on Cumulative Preferred 
Shares, including the full dividends for all current dividend periods, shall 
have been declared and paid or a sum sufficient for payment thereof set 
apart; 

               (2)  All unpaid dividends on Noncumulative Preferred Shares 
for the then current dividend period shall have been declared and paid or a 
sum sufficient for payment therefor set apart; and 

               (3)  There shall be no arrearages with respect to the 
redemption of Cumulative Preferred Shares or Noncumulative Preferred Shares 
of any series from any sinking fund provided for shares of such series in 
accordance with the provisions of Section 1 of this Division A.II or Section 
1 of Division A.I.

          (c)  The foregoing restrictions on the payment of dividends or 
other distributions on, or on the purchase, redemption, retirement or other 
acquisition of, Common Shares or any other shares ranking on a parity with or 
junior to the Noncumulative Preferred Shares shall be inapplicable to (i) any 
payments in lieu of issuance of fractional shares thereof, whether upon any 
merger, conversion, stock dividend or otherwise, (ii) the conversion of 
Cumulative Preferred Shares or Noncumulative Preferred Shares into Common 
Shares, and (iii) the exercise by the Corporation of its rights pursuant to 
Division C or any similar provisions hereafter contained in these Amended and 
Restated Articles of Incorporation with respect to any other class or series 
of shares hereafter created or authorized.

          (d)  If, for any taxable year, the Corporation elects to designate 
as "capital gain dividends" (as defined in Section 857 of the Internal 
Revenue Code), any portion (the "Capital Gains Amount") of the dividends paid 
or made available for the year to holders of all classes of stock (the "Total 
Dividends"), then the portion of the Capital Gains Amount that shall be 
allocable to holders of the Noncumulative Preferred Shares shall be the 
amount that the total dividends paid or made available to the holders of the 
Noncumulative Preferred Shares for the year bears to the Total Dividends.

          Section 3.  REDEMPTION.

          (a)  Subject to the express terms of each series, the Corporation:

               (1)  May, from time to time at the option of the Board of 
Directors, redeem all or any part of any redeemable series of Noncumulative 
Preferred Shares at the time outstanding at the applicable redemption price 
for such series fixed in accordance with Section 1 of this Division A.II.; and

               (2)  Shall, from time to time, make such redemptions of each 
series of Noncumulative Preferred Shares as may be required to fulfill the 
requirements of any sinking fund provided for shares of such series at the 
applicable sinking fund redemption price fixed in accordance with Section 1 
of this Division A.II.;

and shall in each case pay all unpaid dividends for the then current dividend 
period to the redemption date.

          (b)  (1)  Notice of every such redemption shall be mailed, postage 
prepaid, to the holders of record of the Noncumulative Preferred Shares to be 
redeemed at their respective addresses then appearing on the books of the 
Corporation, not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the date 
fixed for such redemption, or such other time prior thereto as the Board of 
Directors shall fix for any series pursuant to Section 1 of this Division 
prior to the issuance thereof.  At any time after notice as provided above 
has been deposited in the mail, the Corporation may deposit the aggregate 
redemption price of Noncumulative Preferred Shares to be redeemed, together 
with unpaid dividends thereon for the then current dividend period to the 
redemption date, with any bank or trust company in Cleveland, Ohio, or New 
York, New York, having capital and surplus of not less than $100,000,000, 
named in such notice and direct that there be paid to the respective holders 
of the Noncumulative Preferred Shares so to be redeemed amounts equal to the 
redemption price of the Noncumulative Preferred Shares so to be redeemed 
together with such accrued and unpaid dividends thereon for the then current 
dividend period, on surrender of the share certificate or certificates held 
by such holders; and upon the deposit of such notice in the mail and the 
making of such deposit of money with such bank or trust company, such holders 
shall cease to be shareholders with respect to such shares; and from and 
after the time such notice shall have been so deposited and such deposit of 
money shall have been so made, such holders shall have no rights or claim 
against the Corporation with respect to such shares, except only the right to 
receive such money from such bank or trust company without interest or to 
exercise before the redemption date any unexpired privilege of conversion.  
If less than all of the outstanding Noncumulative Preferred Shares are to be 
redeemed, the Corporation shall select by lot the shares so to be redeemed in 
such manner as shall be rescribed by the Board of Directors.

               (2)  If the holders of Noncumulative Preferred Shares which 
have been called for redemption shall not within six years after such deposit 
claim the amount deposited for the redemption thereof, any such bank or trust 
company shall, upon demand, pay over to the Corporation such unclaimed 
amounts and thereupon such bank or trust company and the Corporation shall be 
relieved of all responsibility in respect thereof and to such holders.

          (c)  Any Noncumulative Preferred Shares which are (1) redeemed by 
the Corporation pursuant to this Section, (2) purchased and delivered in 
satisfaction of any sinking fund requirement provided for shares of such 
series, (3) converted in accordance with the express terms thereof, or (4) 
otherwise acquired by the Corporation, shall resume the status of authorized 
but unissued Noncumulative Preferred Shares without serial designation.

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

          (d)  Except in connection with the exercise of the Corporation's 
rights pursuant to Division C or any similar provisions hereafter contained 
in these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, the Corporation may 
not purchase or redeem (for sinking fund purposes or otherwise) less than all 
of the Noncumulative Preferred Shares then outstanding except in accordance 
with a purchase offer made to all holders of record of Noncumulative 
Preferred Shares, unless all unpaid dividends on all Noncumulative Preferred 
Shares then outstanding shall have been paid or funds therefor set apart and 
all accrued sinking fund obligations applicable thereto shall have been 
complied with.

          Section 4.  LIQUIDATION.

          (a)  (1)  In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, 
dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, the holders of 
Noncumulative Preferred Shares of any series shall be entitled to receive in 
full out of the assets of the Corporation, including its capital, before any 
amount shall be paid or distributed among the holders of the Common Shares or 
any other shares ranking junior to the Noncumulative Preferred Shares, the 
amounts fixed with respect to shares of such series in accordance with 
Section 1 of this Division A.II., plus an amount equal to all dividends 
declared and unpaid thereon.  If the net assets of the Corporation legally 
available therefor are insufficient to permit the payment upon all 
outstanding Cumulative Preferred Shares and Noncumulative Preferred Shares of 
the full preferential amount to which they are respectively entitled, then 
such net assets shall be distributed ratably upon all outstanding Cumulative 
Preferred Shares and Noncumulative Preferred Shares in proportion to the full 
preferential amount to which each such share is entitled.

               (2)  After payment to the holders of Noncumulative Preferred 
Shares of the full preferential amounts as aforesaid, the holders of 
Noncumulative Preferred Shares, as such, shall have no right or claim to any 
of the remaining assets of the Corporation.

          (b)  The merger or consolidation of the Corporation into or with 
any other Corporation, the merger of any other Corporation into it, or the 
sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all the assets of the 
Corporation, shall not be deemed to be a dissolution, liquidation or winding 
up for purposes of this Section.

          Section 5.  VOTING.

          (a)  The holders of Noncumulative Preferred Shares shall have no 
voting rights, except as provided in this Section or required by law.

          (b)  (1)  If, and so often as, the Corporation shall not have fully 
paid, or shall not have declared and set aside a sum sufficient for the 
payment of, dividends on any series of Noncumulative Preferred Shares at the 
time outstanding, for a number of dividend payment periods (whether or not 
consecutive) which in the aggregate contain at least 540 days, the holders of 
all series of such Noncumulative Preferred Shares, voting separately as a 
class, shall be entitled to elect, as herein provided, two members of the 
Board of Directors of the Corporation; but the holders of the Noncumulative 
Preferred Shares shall not exercise such special class voting rights except 
at meetings of such shareholders for the election of directors at which the 
holders of not less than 50% of the Noncumulative Preferred Shares are 
present in person or by proxy; and the special class voting rights provided 
for in this paragraph when the same shall have become vested shall remain so 
vested until the Corporation shall have fully paid, or shall have set aside a 
sum sufficient for the payment of, dividends on such Noncumulative Preferred 
Shares then outstanding for a number of consecutive dividend payment periods 
which in the aggregate contain at least 360 days, whereupon the holders of 
the Noncumulative Preferred Shares shall be divested of their special class 
voting rights in respect of subsequent elections of directors, subject to the 
revesting of such special class voting rights in the event above specified in 
this paragraph.

<PAGE>

               (2)  On an event entitling holders of Noncumulative Preferred 
Shares to elect two directors as specified in paragraph (1) of this 
Subsection, a special meeting of such holders for the purpose of electing 
such directors shall be called by the Secretary of the Corporation upon 
written request of, or may be called by, the holders of record of at least 
10% of the Noncumulative Preferred Shares of the affected series and notice 
thereof shall be given in the same manner as that required for the annual 
meeting of shareholders; but the Corporation shall not be required to call 
such special meeting if the annual meeting of shareholders shall be called to 
be held within 90 days after the date of receipt of the foregoing written 
request from the holders of Noncumulative Preferred Shares.  At any meeting 
at which the holders of Noncumulative Preferred Shares shall be entitled to 
elect directors, holders of 50% of the Noncumulative Preferred Shares, 
present in person or by proxy, shall be sufficient to constitute a quorum, 
and the vote of the holders of a majority of such shares so present at any 
such meeting at which there shall be such a quorum shall be sufficient to 
elect the members of the Board of Directors which the holders of 
Noncumulative Preferred Shares are entitled to elect as herein provided.  
Notwithstanding any provision of these Amended and Restated Articles of 
Incorporation or the Code of Regulations of the Corporation or any action 
taken by the holders of any class of shares fixing the number of directors of 
the Corporation, the two directors who may be elected by the holders of 
Noncumulative Preferred Shares pursuant to this Subsection shall serve in 
addition to any other directors then in office or proposed to be elected 
otherwise than pursuant to this Subsection.  Nothing in this Subsection shall 
prevent any change otherwise permitted in the total number of or 
classifications of directors of the Corporation nor require the resignation 
of any director elected otherwise than pursuant to this Subsection.  
Notithstanding any classification of the other directors of the Corporation, 
the two directors elected by the holders of Noncumulative Preferred Shares 
shall be elected annually for terms expiring at the next succeeding annual 
meeting of shareholders.

               (3)  Upon any divesting of the special class voting rights of 
the holders of the Noncumulative Preferred Shares in respect of elections of 
directors as provided in this Subsection, the terms of office of all 
directors then in office elected by such holders shall terminate immediately 
thereupon. If the office of any director elected by such holders voting as a 
class becomes vacant by reason of death, resignation, removal from office or 
otherwise, the remaining director elected by such holders voting as a class 
may elect a successor who shall hold office for the unexpired term in respect 
of which such vacancy occurred.

          (c)  The affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of 
the Noncumulative Preferred Shares at the time outstanding, voting separately 
as a class, given in person or by proxy either in writing or at a meeting 
called for the purpose, shall be necessary to effect either of the following:

               (1)  Any amendment, alteration or repeal, whether by merger, 
consolidation or otherwise, of any of the provisions of the Amended and 
Restated Articles of Incorporation or of the Code of Regulations of the 
Corporation which affects adversely and materially the preferences or voting 
or other rights of the holders of Noncumulative Preferred Shares which are 
set forth in these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation; but 
neither an amendment of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation 
so as to authorize, create or change the authorized or outstanding number of 
Noncumulative Preferred Shares or of any shares ranking on a parity with or 
junior to the Noncumulative Preferred Shares nor an amendment of the Code of 
Regulations so as to change the number or classification of directors of the 
Corporation shall be deemed to affect adversely and materially preferences or 
voting or other rights of the holders of Noncumulative Preferred Shares; or

               (2)  The authorization, creation or increase in the authorized 
number of any shares, or any security convertible into shares, in either case 
ranking prior to such Noncumulative Preferred Shares.

                                      -11-
<PAGE>

          (d)  If, and only to the extent, that (1) Noncumulative Preferred 
Shares are issued in more than one series and (2) Ohio law permits the 
holders of a series of a class of shares to vote separately as a class, the 
affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of each series of the 
Noncumulative Preferred Shares at the time outstanding, voting separately as 
a class, given in person or by proxy either in writing or at a meeting called 
for the purpose of voting on such matters, shall be required for any 
amendment, alteration or repeal, whether by merger, consolidation or 
otherwise, of any of the provisions of these Amended and Restated Articles of 
Incorporation or of the Code of Regulations of the Corporation which affects 
adversely and materially the preferences or voting or other rights of the 
holders of such series which are set forth in these Amended and Restated 
Articles of Incorporation; but neither an amendment of these Amended and 
Restated Articles of Incorporation, so as to authorize, create or change the 
authorized or outstanding number of Noncumulative Preferred Shares or of any 
shares remaining on a parity with or junior to the Noncumulative Preferred 
Shares nor an amendment of the Code of Regulations so as to change the number 
or classification of directors of the Corporation shall be deemed to affect 
adversely and materially preferences or voting or other rights of the holders 
of such series.

as the case may be.

entitled to receive, ratably with each other holder of Common Shares, that 
portion of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its

day on which banking institutions in the State of New York are authorized or 
obligated by law or executive order to close.

assignment, devise or other disposition of Equity Shares, whether voluntary 
or involuntary, whether of record, constructively or beneficially and whether 
by operation of law or otherwise.  "Transfer" (as a verb) shall have the 
correlative meaning.

          "Trust" shall mean any separate trust created pursuant to this 
Division C for the exclusive benefit of any Beneficiary.

          Section 2.  RESTRICTION ON TRANSFERS AND NON-TRANSFER EVENT.

          (a)  Except as set forth in Section 7 below and subject to Section 
8 below, from the date of the Initial Public Offering to the Restriction 
Termination Date, (i) no Person shall Beneficially Own or Constructively Own 
outstanding Equity Shares in excess of the Ownership Limit, but any Transfer 
or Non-Transfer Event that, if effective, would result in any Person 
Beneficially Owning or Constructively Owning outstanding Equity Shares in 
excess of the Ownership Limit shall be void AB INITIO as to the Transfer or 
Non-Transfer Event affecting that number of Equity Shares which would be 
otherwise Beneficially Owned or Constructively Owned by such Person in excess 
of the Ownership Limit and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in 
such excess Equity Shares.

          (b)  Except as set forth in Section 7 below, from the date of the 
Initial Public Offering to the Restriction Termination Date, any Transfer or 
Non-Transfer Event that, if effective, would result in any class of Equity 
Shares being beneficially owned by fewer than 100 Persons (determined without 
reference to any rules of attribution) shall be void AB INITIO as to the 
Transfer or Non-Transfer Event affecting that number of shares which would be 
otherwise beneficially owned (determined without reference to any rules of 
attribution) by the transferee, and the intended transferee shall acquire no 
rights in such Equity Shares.

          (c)  From the date of the Initial Public Offering to the 
Restriction Termination Date, any Transfer of or Non-Transfer Event affecting 
Equity Shares that, if effective, would result in the Corporation being 
"closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Internal Revenue 
Code shall be void AB INITIO as to the Transfer of or Non-Transfer Event 
affecting that number of Equity Shares which would cause the Corporation to 
be "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Internal 
Revenue Code, and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in such 
Equity Shares.

          (d)  From the date of the Initial Public Offering to the 
Restriction Termination Date, any Transfer of or Non-Transfer Event affecting 
Equity Shares that, if effective, would cause the Corporation to 
Constructively Own 10% or more of the ownership interests in a tenant of the 
real property of the Corporation or of any direct or indirect subsidiary of 
the Corporation (a "Subsidiary"), within the 

                                      -15-
<PAGE>

meaning of Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, shall be void 
AB INITIO as to the Transfer of or Non-Transfer Event affecting that number 
of Equity Shares which would cause the Corporation to Constructively Own 10% 
or more of the ownership interests in a tenant of the Corporation's or of a 
Subsidiary's real property, within the meaning of Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the 
Internal Revenue Code, and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in 
such excess Equity Shares.

          Section 3.  TRANSFER TO TRUST.

          (a)  If, notwithstanding the other provisions contained in this 
Division C, at any time after the Initial Public Offering and prior to the 
Restriction Termination Date there is a purported Transfer or Non-Transfer 
Event such that any Person would either Beneficially Own or Constructively 
Own Equity Shares in excess of the Ownership Limit, then, (i) except as set 
forth in Section 7 below, the purported transferee shall acquire no right or 
interest (or, in the case of a Non-Transfer Event, the Person holding record 
title to the Equity Shares Beneficially Owned or Constructively Owned by such 
Beneficial Owner or Constructive Owner, shall cease to own any right or 
interest) in such number of Equity Shares which would cause such Beneficial 
Owner or Constructive Owner to Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Equity 
Shares in excess of the Ownership Limit, (ii) such number of Equity Shares in 
excess of the Ownership Limit (rounded up to the nearest whole share) shall 
be designated Shares-in-Trust and, in accordance with this Division C, 
transferred automatically by operation of the terms of this Section IV.C.I.3. 
to a Trust to be held in accordance with this Division C, and (iii) the 
Prohibited Owner shall submit such number of Equity Shares to the Corporation 
for registration in the name of the Trustee.  Such transfer to a Trust and 
the designation of shares as Shares-in-Trust shall be effective as of the 
close of business on the business day prior to the date of the Transfer or 
Non-Transfer Event, as the case may be.

          (b)  If, notwithstanding the other provisions contained in this 
Division C, at any time after the Initial Public Offering and prior to the 
Restriction Termination Date, there is a purported Transfer or Non-Transfer 
Event that, if effective, would (i) result in any class of the Equity Shares 
being beneficially owned by fewer than 100 Persons (determined without 
reference to any rules of attribution), (ii) result in the Corporation being 
"closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Internal Revenue 
Code, or (iii) cause the Corporation to Constructively Own 10% or more of the 
ownership interests in a tenant of the Corporation's or of a Subsidiary's 
real property, within the meaning of Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Internal 
Revenue Code, then (x) the purported transferee shall not acquire any right 
or interest (or, in the case of a Non-Transfer Event, the Person holding 
record title to the Equity Shares with respect to which such Non-Transfer 
Event occurred, shall cease to own any right or interest) in such number of 
Equity Shares, the ownership of which by such purported transferee or record 
holder would (A) result in any class of Equity Shares being beneficially 
owned by fewer than 100 Persons (determined without reference to any rules of 
attribution), (B) result in the Corporation being "closely held" within the 
meaning of Section 856(h) of the Internal Revenue Code, or (C) cause the 
Corporation to Constructively Own 10% or more of the ownership interests in a 
tenant of the Corporation's or of a Subsidiary's real property, within the 
meaning of Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, (y) such number 
of Equity Shares (rounded up to the nearest whole share) shall be designated 
Shares-in-Trust and, in accordance with this Division C, transferred 
automatically by operation of the terms of this Section IV.C.I.3. to a Trust 
to be held in accordance with this Division C, and (z) the Prohibited Owner 
shall submit such number of Equity Shares to the Corporation for registration 
in the name of the Trustee.  Such transfer to a Trust and the designation of 
shares as Shares-in-Trust shall be effective as of the close of business on 
the business day prior to the date of the Transfer or Non-Transfer Event, as 
the case may be.

          Section 4.  REMEDIES FOR BREACH.  If the Corporation, or its 
designee, shall at any time determine in good faith that a Transfer or 
Non-Transfer Event has taken place in violation of this Division C or that a 
Person intends to acquire or has attempted to acquire Beneficial Ownership or 
Constructive Ownership of any Equity Shares in violation of this Division C, 
the Corporation shall take such action as 

                                      -16-
<PAGE>

it considers advisable to refuse to give effect to or to prevent such 
Transfer or Non-Transfer Event or acquisition, including, but not limited to, 
refusing to give effect to such Transfer on the books of the Corporation or 
instituting proceedings to enjoin such Transfer or Non-Transfer Event or 
acquisition.

          Section 5.  NOTICE OF RESTRICTED TRANSFER.  Any Person who acquires 
or attempts to acquire Equity Shares in violation of this Division C, or any 
Person who owned Equity Shares that were transferred to a Trust pursuant to 
this Division C, shall immediately give written notice to the Corporation of 
such event and shall provide to the Corporation such other information as the 
Corporation may request in order to determine the effect, if any, of such 
event on the Corporation's status as a REIT.

          Section 6.  OWNERS REQUIRED TO PROVIDE INFORMATION.  From the date 
of the Initial Public Offering to the Restriction Termination Date:

          (a)  Every Beneficial Owner or Constructive Owner of more than 5%, 
or such lower percentage as is specified pursuant to regulations issued under 
the Internal Revenue Code, of the outstanding shares of any class of shares 
of the Corporation shall, within 30 days after January 1 of each year, 
provide to the Corporation a written statement or affidavit stating the name 
and address of such Beneficial Owner or Constructive Owner, the number of 
Equity Shares Beneficially Owned or Constructively Owned, and a description 
of how such shares are held.

          (b)  Each Person who is a Beneficial Owner or Constructive Owner of 
Equity Shares and each Person (including the shareholder of record) who is 
holding Equity Shares for a Beneficial Owner or Constructive Owner shall 
provide to the Corporation a written statement or affidavit stating such 
information as the Corporation may request in order to determine the 
Corporation's status as a REIT and to ensure compliance with the Ownership 
Limit as applicable.

          Section 7.  EXCEPTIONS.  The Ownership Limit shall not apply to the 
acquisition of Equity Shares by an underwriter that participates in a public 
offering of such shares for a period of 90 days following the purchase by 
such underwriter of such shares.  In addition, the Board of Directors, upon 
receipt of a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service or an opinion of 
counsel, in either case to the effect that the Corporation's status as a REIT 
would not be jeopardized thereby, may allow a Person to own a certain amount 
in excess of the Ownership Limit if (i) the Board of Directors obtains such 
representations and undertakings from such Person as are reasonably necessary 
to ascertain that no Person's Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership 
of Equity Shares could result in the REIT (a) losing its REIT status for 
federal income tax purposes, or (b) being "related" to any tenant or lessee 
under the REIT rules of the Internal Revenue Code, and (ii) such Person 
agrees in writing that any violation or attempted violation that could cause 
such a result will cause a transfer to a Trust of Equity Shares pursuant to 
this Division C.

          Section 8.  NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE TRANSACTIONS.  Notwithstanding 
any provision contained herein to the contrary, nothing in these Amended and 
Restated Articles of Incorporation shall preclude the settlement of any 
transaction entered into through the facilities of the New York Stock 
Exchange.

     II.  SHARES-IN-TRUST.

          Section 1.  TRUST.  Any Equity Shares transferred to a Trust and 
designated Shares-in-Trust pursuant to this Division C shall be held for the 
exclusive benefit of the Beneficiary.  The Corporation shall name a 
Beneficiary for each Trust within five days after the Corporation first has 
actual notice of the existence thereof.  Any transfer to a Trust, and 
designation of Equity Shares as Shares-in-Trust, shall be effective as of the 
close of business on the business day prior to the date of the Transfer or 

                                      -17-
<PAGE>


Non-Transfer Event that results in the transfer to the Trust.  
Shares-in-Trust shall continue to constitute issued and outstanding Equity 
Shares of the Corporation and shall be entitled to the same rights and 
privileges as are all other issued and outstanding Equity Shares of the same 
class and series.  When transferred to a Permitted Transferee in accordance 
with this Division C, such Shares-in-Trust shall cease to be designated as 
Shares-in-Trust.

          Section 2.  DIVIDEND RIGHTS.  The Trust, as record holder of 
Shares-in-Trust, shall be entitled to receive all dividends and distributions 
declared by the Board of Directors on such Shares-in-Trust and shall hold 
such dividends and distributions in trust for the benefit of the Beneficiary. 
 The Prohibited Owner with respect to Shares-in-Trust shall repay to the 
Trust the amount of any dividends or distributions received by it that (i) 
are attributable to those Shares-in-Trust and (ii) the record date of which 
was on or after the date that such shares became Shares-in-Trust.  The 
Corporation shall take all measures that it determines reasonably necessary 
to recover the amount of any such dividend or distribution paid to a 
Prohibited Owner, including, if necessary, withholding any portion of future 
dividends or distributions payable on Equity Shares Beneficially Owned or 
Constructively Owned by the Person who, but for the provisions of this 
Division C, would Constructively Own or Beneficially Own the Shares-in-Trust; 
and, as soon as reasonably practicable following the Corporation's receipt or 
withholding thereof, shall pay over to the Trust for the benefit of the 
Beneficiary the dividends so received or withheld, as the case may be.

          Section 3.  RIGHTS UPON LIQUIDATION.  In the event of any voluntary 
or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of, or any distribution 
of the assets of, the Corporation, each holder of Shares-in-Trust shall be 
entitled to receive, ratably with each other holder of Equity Shares of the 
same class or series, that portion of the assets of the Corporation which is 
available for distribution to the holders of such class and series of Equity 
Shares.  The Trust shall distribute to the Prohibited Owner the amounts 
received upon such liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, or distribution; 
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Prohibited Owner shall not be entitled to receive 
amounts pursuant to this Division C in excess of, in the case of a purported 
Transfer in which the Prohibited Owner gave value for Equity Shares and which 
Transfer resulted in the transfer of the shares to the Trust, the price per 
share, if any, such Prohibited Owner paid for the Equity Shares and, in the 
case of a Non-Transfer Event or Transfer in which the Prohibited Owner did 
not give value for such shares (E.G., if the shares were received through a 
gift or devise) and which Non-Transfer Event or Transfer, as the case may be, 
resulted in the transfer of shares to the Trust, the price per share equal to 
the Market Price on the date of such Non-Transfer Event or Transfer.  Any 
remaining amount in such Trust shall be distributed to the Beneficiary.

          Section 4.  VOTING RIGHTS.  The Trustee shall be entitled to vote 
all Shares-in-Trust.  Any vote by a Prohibited Owner as a holder of Equity 
Shares prior to the discovery by the Corporation that the Equity Shares are 
Shares-in-Trust shall, so far as is practicable under applicable law, be 
rescinded and shall be void AB INITIO with respect to such Shares-in-Trust 
and the Prohibited Owner shall be deemed to have given, as of the close of 
business on the business day prior to the date of the Transfer or 
Non-Transfer Event that results in the transfer to the Trust of Equity Shares 
pursuant to this Division C, an irrevocable proxy to the Trustee to vote the 
Shares-in-Trust in the manner in which the Trustee, in its sole and absolute 
discretion, considers advisable.

          Section 5.  DESIGNATION OF PERMITTED TRANSFEREE.  The Trustee shall 
have the exclusive and absolute right to designate a Permitted Transferee of 
any Shares-in-Trust.  In an orderly fashion so as not to materially adversely 
affect the Market Price of the Shares-in-Trust, the Trustee shall designate a 
Person as Permitted Transferee, so long as (i) the Permitted Transferee so 
designated purchases for valuable consideration (whether in a public or 
private sale) the Shares-in-Trust and (ii) the Permitted Transferee so 
designated can acquire such Shares-in-Trust without such acquisition 
resulting in a transfer to a Trust and the redesignation of such Equity 
Shares as Shares-in-Trust.  Upon the designation by the 

                                      -18-
<PAGE>

Trustee of a Permitted Transferee, the Trustee shall (i) cause to be 
transferred to the Permitted Transferee that number of Shares-inTrust 
acquired by the Permitted Transferee, (ii) cause to be recorded on the books 
of the Corporation that the Permitted Transferee is the holder of record of 
such number of Equity Shares, (iii) cause the Shares-in-Trust to be canceled, 
and (iv) distribute to the Beneficiary any and all amounts held by the 
Trustee with respect to the Shares-in-Trust after making any payment to the 
Prohibited Owner required under Sections IV.C.II.3. and IV.C.II.6.

          Section 6.  COMPENSATION TO RECORD HOLDER OF EQUITY SHARES THAT 
BECOME SHARES-IN-TRUST.  Any Prohibited Owner shall be entitled (following 
designation of Equity Shares proposed or purported to be held by that 
Prohibited Owner as Shares-in-Trust and subsequent designation of a Permitted 
Transferee or the Trustee's acceptance of an offer to purchase such shares) 
to receive from the Trustee following the sale or other disposition of such 
Shares-in-Trust the lesser of (i) in the case of (a) a purported Transfer in 
which the Prohibited Owner gave value for Equity Shares and which Transfer 
resulted in the transfer of the shares to the Trust, the price per share, if 
any, such Prohibited Owner paid for the Equity Shares, or (b) a Non-Transfer 
Event or Transfer in which the Prohibited Owner did not give value for such 
shares (E.G., if the shares were received through a gift or devise) and which 
Non-Transfer Event or Transfer, as the case may be, resulted in the transfer 
of shares to the Trust, the price per share equal to the Market Price on the 
date of such Non-Transfer Event or Transfer, and (ii) the price per share 
received by the Trustee from the sale or other disposition of such 
Shares-in-Trust.  Any amounts received by the Trustee in respect of such 
Shares-in-Trust and in excess of such amounts to be paid to the Prohibited 
Owner shall be distributed to the Beneficiary.  Each Beneficiary and 
Prohibited Owner waive any and all claims that they may have against the 
Trustee and the Trust arising out of the disposition of Shares-in-Trust, 
except for claims arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct 
of, or any failure to make payments in accordance with this Division C, by 
such Trustee or the Corporation.

          Section 7.  PURCHASE RIGHT IN SHARES-IN-TRUST.  Shares-in-Trust 
shall be considered to have been offered for sale to the Corporation, or its 
designee, on the date of the event that created such Shares-in-Trust status 
at a price per share equal to the lesser of (i) the price per share in the 
event that created such Shares-in-Trust status (or, in the case of a devise, 
gift or Non-Transfer Event, the Market Price at the time of such devise, gift 
or Non-Transfer Event) and (ii) the Market Price on the date the Corporation, 
or its designee, accepts such offer.  The Corporation shall have the right to 
accept such offer for a period of ninety days after the later of (i) the date 
of the event which created such Shares-in-Trust status and (ii) the date the 
Corporation determines in good faith that an event occurred that created such 
Shares-in-Trust status, if the Corporation does not receive a notice of such 
event.

     III. REMEDIES NOT LIMITED.  Subject to Article I, Sections 7 and 8, 
nothing contained in this Division C shall limit the authority of the 
Corporation to take such other action as it deems necessary or advisable to 
protect the Corporation and the interests of its shareholders by preservation 
of the Corporation's status as a REIT and to ensure compliance with the 
Ownership Limit.

     IV.  AMBIGUITY.  In the case of any ambiguity in the application of any 
provision of this Division C, including any definition contained herein, the 
Board of Directors shall have the power to determine the application of that 
provision.

     V.   LEGEND.  Each certificate for Equity Shares shall bear the 
following legend:

          "The [Common Shares or Cumulative Preferred Shares or
          Noncumulative Preferred Shares] represented by this certificate
          are subject to restrictions on transfer for the purpose of the
          Corporation's maintenance of its status as a real estate
          investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
          amended (the "Code").  No Person may (i) Beneficially Own or
          Constructively Own 

                                      -19-
<PAGE>

          Common Shares in excess of 9% of the number of outstanding Common 
          Shares, (ii) Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of any 
          class or series of Preferred Shares in excess of 9% of the number 
          of outstanding shares of that class or series of Preferred Shares, 
          (iii) beneficially own Equity Shares that would result in the 
          Equity Shares being beneficially owned by fewer than 100 Persons 
          (determined without reference to any rules of attribution), (iv) 
          Beneficially Own Equity Shares that would result in the Corporation 
          being "closely held" under Section 856(h) of the Code, or (v) 
          Constructively Own Equity Shares that would cause the Corporation 
          to Constructively Own 10% or more of the ownership interests in a 
          tenant of the Corporation's or of a Subsidiary's real property, 
          within the meaning of Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code.  Each 
          holder of Equity Shares is required to furnish the Corporation such 
          information as the Corporation may request pursuant to Section 6 of 
          the Corporation's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation.  
          Any Person who attempts to Beneficially Own or Constructively Own 
          Equity Shares in excess of the above limitations must immediately 
          notify the Corporation in writing. If those restrictions are 
          violated, the Equity Shares represented hereby in excess of those 
          limitations will be transferred automatically by operation of the 
          Corporation's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to a 
          Trust and will be designated Shares-in-Trust.  All capitalized 
          terms in this legend have the meanings defined in the Corporation's 
          Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as they may be 
          amended from time to time, a copy of which, including the 
          restrictions on transfer, will be sent without charge to each 
          shareholder who so requests."

     VI.  SEVERABILITY.  Each provision of this Article FOURTH shall be 
several, and an adverse determination as to any such provision shall in no 
way affect the validity of any other provision.

     FIFTH:  At all times following the consummation of the Initial Public 
Offering (as defined in Article FOURTH), at least a majority of the members 
of the Board of Directors shall, except as may result from a vacancy or 
vacancies therein, be Independent Directors.  An "Independent Director" shall 
mean a person who is (i) independent of management of the Corporation, (ii) 
not employed by or an officer of the Corporation, (iii) not an "affiliate" 
(as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) of the 
Corporation or of any Subsidiary of the Corporation, and (iv) not a person 
who acts on a regular basis as an individual or representative of an 
organization serving as a professional advisor, legal counsel or consultant 
to management if, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, the relationship 
is material to the Corporation, that person, or the organization represented. 
Any determination to be made by the Board of Directors in connection with 
any matter presenting a conflict of interest for any officer of the 
Corporation or any director of the Corporation who is not an Independent 
Director shall be made by the Independent Directors.

     SIXTH:  No holder of shares of the Corporation of any class shall be 
entitled as such, as a matter of right, to subscribe for or purchase shares 
of any class, now or hereafter authorized, or to subscribe for or purchase 
securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of the Corporation or 
to which shall be attached or appertain any warrants or rights entitling the 
holder thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares, except such rights of 
subscription or purchase, if any, for such considerations and upon such terms 
and conditions as its Board of Directors from time to time may determine.

     SEVENTH:  Notwithstanding any provision of Sections 1701.01 to 1701.98, 
inclusive, of the Ohio Revised Code, or any successor statutes now or 
hereafter in force, requiring for the authorization or taking of any action 
the vote or consent of the holders of shares entitling them to exercise 
two-thirds or 

                                      -20-
<PAGE>

any other proportion of the voting power of the Corporation or of any class 
or classes of shares thereof, such action, unless otherwise expressly 
required by law or these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, may 
be authorized or taken by the vote or consent of the holders of shares 
entitling them to exercise a majority of the voting power of the Corporation 
or of such class or classes of shares thereof.

     EIGHTH:  To the extent permitted by law, the Corporation, by action of 
its Board of Directors, may purchase or otherwise acquire shares of any class 
issued by it at such times, for such consideration and upon such terms and 
conditions as its Board of Directors may determine.

     NINTH:  No person who is serving or has served as a director of the 
Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or any of its 
shareholders for monetary damages for breach of any fiduciary duty of such 
person as a director by reason of any act or omission of such person as a 
director; but the foregoing provision shall not eliminate or limit the 
liability of any person (a) for any breach of such person's duty of loyalty 
as a director to the Corporation or its shareholders, (b) for acts or 
omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a 
knowing violation of law, (c) under Section 1701.95 of the Ohio Revised Code, 
(d) for any transaction from which such person derived any improper personal 
benefit, or (e) to the extent that such liability may not be limited or 
eliminated by virtue of Section 1701.13 of the Ohio Revised Code or any 
successor section or statute.  Any repeal or modification of this Article 
NINTH by the shareholders of the Corporation shall be prospective only, and 
shall not adversely affect any limitation on the personal liability of a 
director of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or 
modification.

     TENTH:  Section 1701.831 of the Ohio Revised Code shall not apply to the 
Corporation.

     ELEVENTH:  Chapter 1704 of the Ohio Revised Code shall not apply to the 
Corporation.

     TWELFTH:  If any provision (or portion thereof) of these Amended and 
Restated Articles of Incorporation shall be found to be invalid, prohibited, 
or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions (or portions 
thereof) of these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation shall remain 
in full force and effect, and shall be construed as if such invalid, 
prohibited, or unenforceable provision had been stricken herefrom or 
otherwise rendered inapplicable, it being the intent of the Corporation and 
its shareholders that each such remaining provision (or portion thereof) of 
these Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation remain, to the fullest 
extent permitted by law, applicable and enforceable as to all shareholders, 
notwithstanding any such finding.

     THIRTEENTH:  No shareholder of the Corporation may cumulate his voting 
power in the election of directors.

     FOURTEENTH:  The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change 
or repeal any provision contained in these Amended and Restated Articles of 
Incorporation, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by statute, and all 
rights conferred upon shareholders herein are granted subject to this 
reservation.

     FIFTEENTH:  These Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation shall 
take the place of and supersede the Corporation's existing Articles of 
Incorporation.

                                    TO THE
                             AMENDED AND RESTATED
                          ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
                                      OF 
                            BOYKIN LODGING COMPANY

          Robert A. Weible, Secretary, of Boykin Lodging Company, an Ohio 
corporation (the "Corporation"), does hereby certify that the Executive 
Committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation adopted the following 
resolution to amend the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the 
"Articles") of the Corporation by written action pursuant Section 1701.63(D) 
of the Ohio Revised Code and pursuant to the authority granted by Section 
1701.70(B)(1) of the Ohio Revised Code and Section I.1. of Division A of the 
Articles:

          RESOLVED, that the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation 
of the Corporation be, and they hereby are, amended by adding at the end of 
Division A.I. of Article FOURTH a new Section 6 that reads as follows:

          SECTION 6.  CLASS A CUMULATIVE PREFERRED SHARES, SERIES 1999-A.

          A.   DESIGNATION AND AMOUNT. Of the 5,000,000 authorized Class A 
Cumulative Preferred Shares, 75,000 are designated as "Class A Cumulative 
Preferred Shares, Series 1999-A" (the "Series 1999-A Preferred Shares").  The 
Series 1999-A Preferred Shares have the express terms set forth in this 
Division as being applicable to all Class A Cumulative Preferred Shares as a 
class and, in addition, the following express terms. The number of Series 
1999-A Preferred Shares may be increased or decreased by resolution of the 
Board of Directors and by the filing of a certificate of amendment pursuant 
to the General Corporation Law of the State of Ohio stating that the increase 
or reduction has been so authorized, but no decrease may reduce the number of 
Series 1999-A Preferred Shares to a number less than that of the Series 
1999-A Preferred Shares then outstanding plus the number of  Series 1999-A 
Preferred Shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding rights, options or 
warrants or upon conversion of outstanding securities issued by the 
Corporation.

          B.   DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS.

          (1)  Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of 
preferred shares (or any similar shares) ranking prior to the Series 1999-A 
Preferred Shares with respect to dividends, the holders of Series 1999-A 
Preferred Shares, in preference to the holders of Common Shares and of any 
other shares ranking junior to the Series 1999-A Preferred Shares, will be 
entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out 
of funds legally available for the purpose, (1) quarterly dividends payable 
in cash on the same day as the quarterly dividend payment date for any 
regular quarterly dividend payable on the Common Shares with respect to 

<PAGE>

the same period or, if no such regular quarterly dividend is payable on the 
Common Shares, on the fifth day of May, August, November and February in each 
year (each such date, a "Quarterly Dividend Payment Date"), commencing on the 
first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date after the first issuance of a Series 
1999-A Preferred Share or fraction thereof, in an amount per share (rounded 
to the nearest cent) equal to the greater of (a) $47.00 or (b) subject to 
adjustment as hereinafter set forth, 100 times the per share amount of all 
regular quarterly cash dividends, and 100 times the per share value of all 
regular quarterly noncash dividends or other distributions (as determined by 
the Board of Directors in good faith), other than any dividend payable in 
Common Shares or a subdivision of the outstanding Common Shares (by 
reclassification or otherwise), declared on the Common Shares with respect to 
the same period, and (2) if a dividend or distribution other than a regular 
quarterly dividend and other than a dividend payable in Common Shares or a 
subdivision of the outstanding Common Shares (by reclassification or 
otherwise) is authorized, declared or paid to the holders of Common Shares 
(including without limitation a dividend or distribution of cash, rights, 
options or other securities or any noncash property), a per share cash 
dividend in an amount equal to the value of the per share amount payable on 
each Common Share (as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith) 
multiplied by the Dividend Multiple (as defined below), payable on the same 
day as the payment date for that dividend on the Common Shares.  The multiple 
of dividends declared on the Common Shares to which holders of the Series 
1999-A Preferred Shares are entitled, which is 100 initially but which will 
be adjusted from time to time as hereinafter provided, is hereinafter 
referred to as the "Dividend Multiple." If the Company at any time after 
February 1, 1999: (i) declares or pays any dividend on the Common Shares 
payable in Common Shares, or (ii) effects a subdivision or combination or 
consolidation of the outstanding Common Shares (by reclassification or 
otherwise than by payment of a dividend in Common Shares) into a greater or 
lesser number of Common Shares, then in each such case the Dividend Multiple 
will thereafter be the Dividend Multiple applicable immediately prior to that 
event multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of 
Common Shares outstanding immediately after that event and the denominator of 
which is the number of Common Shares that were outstanding immediately prior 
to that event.

          (2)  The Board of Directors may fix in accordance with applicable 
law a record date for the determination of holders of Series 1999-A Preferred 
Shares entitled to receive payment of a dividend or other distribution 
declared thereon, which will be the same day as the record date for any 
dividend or distribution payable on the Common Shares with respect to the 
same period if any such dividend or distribution is so payable.  Dividends on 
the Series 1999-A Preferred Shares will accrue and be cumulative (i) with 
respect to shares included in the initial issuance of Series 1999-A Preferred 
Shares and shares issued any time thereafter to and including the record date 
for the payment of the first dividend on the shares included in that initial 
issuance (the "First Record Date"), from the date of that initial issuance, 
(ii) with respect to shares issued any time after the First Record Date and 
not between a record date and the dividend payment date to which that record 
date applies (that period, the "Ex-dividend Period"), from the dividend 
payment date immediately preceding the date of issue of those shares, and 
(iii) with respect to shares issued after the First Record Date and during an 
Ex-dividend Period, from the dividend payment date on which that Ex-dividend 
Period ends.  Accrued but unpaid dividends will not bear interest. Dividends 
paid on the Series 1999-A Preferred Shares in an amount less than the total 
amount of dividends at the time accrued and payable on those shares 

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

will be allocated pro rata on a share-by-share basis among all such shares at 
the time outstanding.  The amount of accrued and unpaid dividends on any 
Series 1999-A Preferred Share at any date is the amount of any dividends 
payable thereon in accordance with this Section 6.B. (whether or not 
declared) that have not been paid. 

          C.   REDEMPTION. The  Series 1999-A Preferred Shares are 
redeemable, in whole but not in part, in accordance with Section 3 of 
Division A.1.of Article FOURTH, at any time on or after (but not before) the 
fifth anniversary of the initial issuance of a Series 1999-A Preferred Share, 
at the option of the Board of Directors, upon payment of an amount in cash 
for each share redeemed equal to the Conversion Multiple (as defined in 
Section E.1., below) times the Adjusted Share Price, together with all 
accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to the redemption date (the "Redemption 
Price").  The Board of Directors may, at its option, pay all or any portion 
of the Redemption Price for any Series 1999-A Preferred Shares redeemed in 
accordance with this Section 6.C. by delivering to the holder thereof the 
number of Common Shares derived by dividing the portion of the redemption 
price to be so paid by the Adjusted Share Price, so long as that form of 
payment will not result in the holder beneficially owning more than nine 
percent (9.0%) of the total number of the outstanding Common Shares 
(determined pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 
as amended), or violating Division C of this Article FOURTH, whichever is 
more restrictive.  For purposes of this Section 6.C., "Adjusted Share Price"  
means a dollar amount equal to the average last sale price (or bid price if 
there were no sales) per Common Share on the NYSE over the twenty-one (21) 
days on which the NYSE is open and for which trades in Common Shares are 
reported immediately preceding the date on which the Corporation delivers the 
applicable redemption notice (adjusted to take into account any splits, 
combinations, reclassifications, or other changes in the Corporation's 
capitalization that occur between the date of that notice and the redemption 
date).   If the Common Shares are no longer  trading on the NYSE, then the 
Adjusted Share Price will be determined using the prices reported on the 
exchange or automated quotation system on which the Common Shares then trade. 
 Each holder of Series 1999-A Preferred Shares may exercise the conversion 
rights described in Section 6.E. for those shares at any time prior to the 
date set for redemption of those shares.

          D.   LIQUIDATION, DISSOLUTION OR WINDING UP. Upon any liquidation 
(voluntary or otherwise), dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, no 
distribution may be made (x) to the holders of shares ranking junior (either 
as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series 
1999-A Preferred Shares unless, prior thereto, the holders of Series 1999-A 
Preferred Shares shall have received an amount equal to accrued and unpaid 
dividends and distributions thereon, whether or not declared, to the date of 
such payment, plus an amount equal to the greater of (1) $1,648.00 per share 
or (2) an aggregate amount per share, subject to the provision for adjustment 
hereinafter set forth, equal to 100 times the aggregate amount to be 
distributed per share to holders of Common Shares, or (y) to the holders of 
shares ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, 
dissolution or winding up) with the Series 1999-A Preferred Shares, except 
distributions made ratably on the Series 1999-A Preferred Shares and all 
other such parity shares in proportion to the total amounts to which the 
holders of all such shares are entitled upon such liquidation, dissolution or 
winding up (the holders of Series 1999-A Preferred Shares being entitled to 
receive, for this purpose, the amount determined pursuant to clause (x) of 
this sentence). If the Corporation at any time after February 1, 1999 (i) 

                                      -3-
<PAGE>

declares or pays any dividend on Common Shares payable in Common Shares, or 
(ii) effects a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding 
Common Shares (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend 
in Common Shares) into a greater or lesser number of Common Shares, then in 
each such case the aggregate amount per share to which holders of Series 
1999-A Preferred Shares were entitled immediately prior to such event under 
clause (x)(2) of the immediately preceding sentence will be adjusted by 
multiplying that  amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number 
of Common Shares outstanding immediately after that event and the denominator 
of which is the number of Common Shares that were outstanding immediately 
prior to that event.

          Neither the consolidation of nor merger of the Corporation with or 
into any other corporation or corporations, nor the sale or other transfer of 
all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, will be considered 
a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation within the 
meaning of this paragraph D.

          E.   CONVERSION RIGHTS.

          (1)  The holders of Series 1999-A Preferred Shares have the right, 
at their option, to convert all or any portion of their Series 1999-A 
Preferred Shares into Common Shares at any time and from time to time, on the 
basis set forth below, but (a) no such holder may so convert Series 1999-A 
Preferred Shares if, immediately after that conversion, that holder would be 
the record or beneficial owner of more than nine percent (9.0%) of the total 
number of the outstanding Common Shares (determined pursuant to Section 13(d) 
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), or violate Division C of 
this Article FOURTH, whichever is more restrictive, and (b) the right to 
convert Series 1999-A Preferred Shares that have been called for redemption 
pursuant to Section 6.C. terminates at the close of business on the 
redemption date for those Series 1999-A Preferred Shares pursuant to Section 
6.C., unless the Corporation defaults in making payment of any cash payable 
on that redemption. Each Series 1999-A Preferred Share is initially 
convertible into 100 Common Shares (the number of Common Shares into which 
each Series 1999-A Preferred Share is convertible, the "Conversion 
Multiple").  If the Corporation, at any time after February 1, 1999: (i) 
declares or pays any dividend on the Common Shares payable in Common Shares, 
or (ii) effects a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the 
outstanding Common Shares (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment 
of a dividend in Common Shares) into a greater or lesser number of Common 
Shares, then in each such case the Conversion Multiple will thereafter be the 
Conversion Multiple applicable immediately prior to that event multiplied by 
a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Common Shares outstanding 
immediately after that event and the denominator of which is the number of 
Common Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to that event.

          (2)  In order for a holder of Series 1999-A Preferred Shares to 
convert Series 1999-A Preferred Shares into Common Shares, that holder shall 
surrender the certificate or certificates for those Series 1999-A Preferred 
Shares at the office of the transfer agent for the Series 1999-A Preferred 
Shares (or at the principal office of the Corporation if the Corporation 
serves as its own transfer agent), together with written notice that the 
holder elects to convert all or any number of the Series 1999-A Preferred 
Shares represented by that certificate or certificates.  That notice must 
state the holder's name or the names of the nominees in which the 

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

holder wishes the certificate or certificates for Common Shares to be issued 
and the number of Series 1999-A Preferred Shares to be converted.  If 
required by the Corporation, certificates surrendered for conversion must be 
endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, 
in form satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the registered 
holder or his or its attorney duly authorized in writing.  The date of 
receipt of those certificates and notice by the transfer agent or by the 
Corporation (if the Corporation serves as its own transfer agent) will be the 
conversion date (the "Conversion Date") and the conversion will be effective 
as of the close of business on the Conversion Date. The Corporation shall, as 
soon as practicable after the Conversion Date, issue and deliver at that 
office, or send, on the converting holder's written instruction, to that 
holder or to his or its nominees, a certificate or certificates for the 
number of Common Shares to which that holder is entitled, together with cash 
in lieu of any fraction of a share.

          (3)  The Corporation shall at all times when any Series 1999-A 
Preferred Shares are outstanding, reserve and keep available out of its 
authorized but unissued shares, for the purpose of effecting the conversion 
of the Series 1999-A Preferred Shares, such number of its duly authorized 
Common Shares as are from time to time sufficient to effect the conversion of 
all outstanding Series 1999-A Preferred Shares. 

          (4)  Upon any conversion effected in accordance with this Section 
6.E., the Corporation shall pay all accrued and unpaid dividends on the 
Series 1999-A Preferred Shares surrendered for conversion.

          (5)  All Series 1999-A Preferred Shares that have been surrendered 
for conversion as herein provided will no longer be considered outstanding, 
and all rights with respect to those shares, including the rights, if any, to 
receive notices and to vote, will cease and terminate at the close of 
business on the Conversion Date, except only the right of the holders thereof 
to receive Common Shares in exchange therefor and the dividend payment 
provided for in paragraph (4), above.  If certificates representing more than 
one Series 1999-A Preferred Share are surrendered for conversion at one time 
by the same holder, the number of Common Shares issuable on conversion 
thereof will be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Series 
1999-A Preferred Shares so surrendered.

          F.  FRACTIONAL SHARES. Series 1999-A Preferred Shares may be issued 
in whole shares or in any fraction of a share, which will entitle the holder, 
in proportion to that holder's fractional shares, to exercise voting rights, 
receive dividends, participate in distributions and have the benefit of all 
other rights of holders of Series 1999-A Preferred Shares.  In lieu of 
issuing fractional shares of less than one one-hundredth (1/100) of a 
Preferred Share, the Corporation may elect to make a cash payment in an 
amount equal to the same fraction of the last sale price (or bid price if 
there were no sales) per Common Share on the New York Stock Exchange on the 
business day that immediately precedes the Conversion Date or, if the Common 
Shares are not the listed on the New York Stock Exchange, of the market price 
per share determined using the prices reported on the exchange or automated 
quotation system on which the Common Shares then trade, as equitably adjusted 
to reflect any change or adjustment to the Conversion Multiple after February 
1, 1999.

                                      -5-

          G.  CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS.  If the Corporation is a party to any 
transaction (including without limitation a merger, consolidation, statutory 
share exchange, self tender offer for all or substantially all Common Shares 
outstanding, sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation's assets or 
recapitalization of the Common Shares but excluding the payment of any 
dividend payable in Common Shares or a subdivision, combination or 
consolidation of the outstanding Common Shares (by reclassification or 
otherwise)) (each of the foregoing being referred to herein as a 
"Transaction"), in each case as a result of which Common Shares are converted 
into the right to receive shares, securities or other property (including 
cash or any combination thereof), each Series 1999-A Preferred Share that is 
not redeemed or converted into the right to receive shares, securities or 
other property in connection with that Transaction will thereafter be 
convertible into the kind and amount of shares, securities and other property 
(including cash or any combination thereof) receivable upon the consummation 
of that Transaction by a holder of that number of Common Shares into which 
one Series 1999-A Preferred Share was convertible immediately prior to that 
Transaction, assuming that holder of Common Shares (i) is not a Person with 
which the Corporation consolidated or into which the Corporation merged or 
that merged into the Corporation or to which that sale or transfer was made, 
as the case may be (a "Constituent Person"), or an affiliate of a Constituent 
Person and (ii) failed to exercise his or her rights of election, if any, as 
to the kind or amount of shares, securities and other property (including 
cash) receivable upon that Transaction (but if the kind or amount of shares, 
securities and other property (including cash) receivable upon that 
Transaction is not the same for each Common Share held immediately prior to 
that Transaction by other than a Constituent Person or an affiliate thereof 
and in respect of which those rights of election have not been exercised 
("Non-Electing Share"), then for the purpose of this Section 6.G., the kind 
and amount of shares, securities and other property (including cash) 
receivable upon that Transaction by each Non-Electing Share will be 
considered to be the kind and amount so receivable per share by a plurality 
of the Non-Electing Shares).  The Corporation shall not be a party to any 
Transaction unless the terms of that Transaction are consistent with the 
provisions of this Section 6.G. and it shall not consent or agree to the 
occurrence of any Transaction until the Corporation has entered into an 
agreement with the successor or purchasing entity, as the case may be, for 
the benefit of the holders of the Series 1999-A Preferred Shares that will 
contain provisions enabling the holders of the Series 1999-A Preferred Shares 
that remain outstanding after that Transaction to convert their Series 1999-A 
Preferred Shares into the consideration received by holders of Common Shares 
at the Conversion Multiple in effect immediately prior to that Transaction.  
The provisions of this Section 6.G. similarly apply to successive 
Transactions.

          H.  NOTICE. Whenever the Dividend Multiple or the Conversion 
Multiple is adjusted as herein provided, the Corporation shall promptly 
deliver to each holder of the Series 1999-A Preferred Shares, at that 
holder's last address shown on the share records of the Corporation, a notice 
of that adjustment, setting forth the adjusted Dividend Multiple or 
Conversion Multiple, as applicable, and the effective date of that adjustment 
and a brief statement of the facts requiring that adjustment.
