agreements.  The tenant of the Properties is the same unaffiliated  lessee.  The
leases on all five  Properties  are  cross-defaulted.  The general  terms of the

o        The tenant of the five  Properties has  established an FF&E Reserve for
         each  Property  which will be used for the  replacement  and renewal of
         furniture,  fixtures and  equipment  relating to the hotel  Properties.

o        Marriott  International,  Inc. has entered  into an agreement  with the
         tenant in which Marriott International,  Inc. has agreed to advance and
         loan to the tenant any  amounts  needed to pay  minimum  rent under the
         leases (the "Liquidity  Facility  Agreement").  The Liquidity  Facility
         Agreement terminates on the earlier of the end of the fourth lease year
         or at such time as the net operating income from the Properties exceeds
         minimum  rent due under the  leases  by 25% for any  trailing  12-month
         period.  The maximum  amount of the liquidity  facility is  $5,237,100.
         Upon acquisition of the Courtyard  Overland Park Property and the three
         SpringHill  Suites(R)by  Marriott(R)Properties  located in Centreville,
         Virginia,  and Charlotte and Raleigh,  North Carolina,  as described in
         the  section  of  the   Prospectus   entitled   "Business   --  Pending
         Investments,"  the  maximum  amount  of  the  liquidity  facility  will
         increase to  $10,017,000  and the  agreement  will cover  minimum  rent
         payments for the pending investments listed above, in addition to these
         five  Properties.  From this time,  net operating  income from all nine
         properties  will be  pooled  in  determining  whether  the  properties'
         aggregate net operating  income exceeds the aggregate  minimum rent due
         under the leases by 25%.  The tenant has assigned its rights to receive
         advances under the Liquidity Facility Agreement to the lessor.

         The estimated  federal income tax basis of the  depreciable  portion of
the five Properties is as follows:

                   Alpharetta Property                     $12,280,000
                   Cottonwood Property                      12,896,000
