3.1.7 TITLE COMMITMENT EXCEPTIONS. All defects in title
contained in the Title Commitment described in section
3.2 below accepted by Purchaser utilizing the
procedure described in section 3.2 below.
3.2 TITLE COMMITMENT EXCEPTIONS. Immediately upon execution of
this Agreement, Seller shall furnish Purchaser with commitment
for an ALTA Standard Form Owner's Policy of Title Insurance
insuring title in Purchaser to the Property in the amount of
the Purchase Price, together with legible copies of all
documents referred to therein ("Title Commitment") issued by
First American Title Insurance Company, National Accounts
Office, attn: David Stuczynski, (800-526-7544; Fax:

("Title Company"). Purchaser shall give Seller written notice
within 10 days following delivery to Purchaser of the Title

Seller shall, within 5 days following receipt of any such

exception at or prior to Closing. Purchaser shall, within 5
days of Seller's responsive notice, provide Seller with written
notice of whether Purchaser will accept Seller's position or
terminate the transaction. Failure to provide notice within

at Closing by Seller. At the sole discretion of Purchaser, if
the Property shall, at the time of Closing, be subject to any
title exceptions which would be grounds for Purchaser to reject
title hereunder, Purchaser may, instead of exercising its other
rights under this Agreement, elect to waive such defect in
title and close and, in the case of any monetary encumbrance or
charge, offset the amount of the monetary encumbrance or charge
against any amounts payable to Seller.
ARTICLE IV
----------
PURCHASE PRICE
4.1 AMOUNT. The purchase price payable by Purchaser to Seller for
the Property shall be calculated by applying an 11.65 %
capitalization rate to the Property's earnings before interest,
federal income taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA")
for the annualized trailing eleven months ending September 30,
1998 calculated based upon generally accepted accounting
principles with a 3% management fee, 4% capital expenditure
allowance and Holiday Inn franchise expenses deducted to reach
the EBITDA line ("Purchase Price"). The trailing eleven months
ending September 30, 1998 will be annualized by counting the
month of September 1998 twice. Seller shall provide Purchaser,
<PAGE>
as part of the Due Diligence Materials, with all currently
available information required to make the calculation of the
Purchase Price; and will supplement that information with all
financial information for the month of September required to
calculate the Purchase Price as that information becomes
available, with the last of the information to be provided not
later than October 15, 1998. Purchaser shall have the
Inspection Period within which to audit the financial
information and confirm the calculation of the Purchase Price.
4.2 METHOD OF PAYMENT. Purchaser shall pay the Purchase Price as
follows:
4.2.1 EQUIPMENT LEASES. Purchaser shall receive a credit
against the Purchase Price at Closing in the amount of
the unpaid balances of the Capital Leases. In the
event that Seller has not, at or prior to Closing,
purchased the equipment covered by any other Equipment
Leases, Purchaser shall receive a credit against the
Purchase Price at Closing in the amount required to
purchase the equipment covered by any other Equipment
Leases. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller will
not be required to payoff and Purchaser will either
assume or payoff (without a credit against the
Purchase Price) the leases on three signs, one each of
which is located at the main entry, the entry canopy
and the rear of the Hotel.
4.2.2 CASH AT CLOSING. Unless Seller elects to exercise the
right described in section 4.2.3 below, the balance of
the Purchase Price shall be payable all cash at
Closing (against which shall be credited the Earnest
Money deposited with Escrow by Purchaser in part
consideration for this Agreement).
4.2.3 OPTION TO RECEIVE PARTNERSHIP UNITS. Seller shall
have the right to elect to receive up to Two Million
Dollars ($2,000,000) of the Purchase Price in the form
of units of limited partnership interest in Purchaser
("Unit(s)") in lieu of cash. Seller's right described
in the preceding sentence is contingent upon the
following occurring on or before November 1, 1998:
x) Seller irrevocably electing, by written notice to
Purchaser, the dollar value if any which Seller
will receive in Units in lieu of cash; and
y) Purchaser and Seller agreeing in writing on the
form and timing of all documents to be executed to
accomplish the transfer of Units to Seller in lieu
of cash.
<PAGE>
Failure to accomplish both of the preceding
preconditions shall result in the Purchase Price being
paid in cash. In order to facilitate accomplishing
both preconditions, Purchaser shall provide Seller,
within five business days of the Effective Date of
this Agreement, the form of the following documents:
a) Agreement of Limited Partnership of Purchaser, as
currently amended (Seller understands that seller has
no right to amend the Limited Partnership Agreement),
b) Contribution Agreement, c) Amendment to Limited
Partnership Agreement adding Seller as a Limited
Partner, d) Registration Rights Agreement, and e)
Reimbursement Agreement (if Seller wishes to utilize
such agreement). The value of each Unit for purposes
of determining the number of Units to be transferred
shall be calculated at Closing based upon the average
of the daily market price of the common stock of CHC
(trading symbol CVH) on the New York Stock Exchange
for the ten (10) consecutive trading days immediately
preceding Closing. The market price for each such
trading day shall be the closing price, regular way,
on such day, or if no such sale takes place on such
day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices
on such day. Seller is not entering into this
Agreement based on any representation or warranty by
Purchaser or CHC as to the future market price of CHC
stock or any tax or other perceived advantage of
receiving Units in lieu of cash.

to the best of its knowledge, that the information

provided to Purchaser in response to the Due Diligence
Request List is accurate and complete and that there
are, to the best of Seller's knowledge, no agreements
with any entity, individual person or group which are
material to the operation of the business of the Hotel
heretofore conducted or to the value of the Property
except as provided to Purchaser pursuant to this
paragraph.
5.1.5 AGREEMENTS IN FORCE AND EFFECT. To the best of
Seller's knowledge, all documents identified in
Section 5.1.4 are valid and in full force and effect,
and to the best of Seller's knowledge no party has

the terms thereof except as is disclosed in writing by
Seller to Purchaser at the time of the initial
delivery of the Due Diligence Materials.

knowledge, Seller has filed in a timely manner, all
reports and returns relating to any of the Property
required to be filed by any applicable law or
governmental regulation, except such reports and
returns the late filing of which (or the failure to
file which) would not have a material and adverse
effect on the conduct of the business of the Hotel.
<PAGE>
5.1.8 SELLER'S OBLIGATIONS PAYMENTS. All payments due and
payable under the Hotel Contracts, Equipment Leases,
wages and benefits of employees, Permits and Space

covenants that Seller's Obligations will be paid
through the Closing.
5.1.9 NAMES. Seller represents and warrants that, to the
best of Seller's knowledge, there is no litigation,
claim or assertion, pending or threatened, which

disposal of toxic, dangerous, or hazardous substances,
pollutants, or contaminants, including without
limitation, petroleum products or asbestos or PCB's or
any substance designated as hazardous by Federal or
State or local law or regulation ("Hazardous
Substances"), and no such Hazardous Substances have
ever been placed or located upon the Property, which,
if found upon the Property, would subject the owner
of, or any person holding a mortgage of or other
security interest in, the Property ,to any damage,
penalties, or liabilities under any applicable
Federal, State or local statutes, ordinances or
regulations. Seller warrants, except as disclosed as
described in the preceding sentence, that the Property
does not contain any Hazardous Substances as of
Closing ("Existing Hazardous Substances") placed upon
or released into the Property during the period of
Seller's ownership or control other than in full
compliance with all applicable laws, rules, and
regulations. Seller represents and warrants that as
<PAGE>
of the date hereof, except as provided to Purchaser at
the time of initial delivery of the Due Diligence
Materials: (a) it has not received notification of any
kind from any regulatory agency stating that the
Property is or may be targeted for a federal or state
Hazardous Substances cleanup or may be contaminated
with any Hazardous Substances or is currently in
violation of any applicable zoning, building, safety
or accessibility law or regulation and (b) Seller has
no knowledge of any release of any Existing Hazardous
Substances or that the Property is currently in
violation of any applicable zoning, building, safety
or accessibility law or regulation. Seller shall
indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from and against
any and all loss, damage, claims, penalties,
liabilities, suits, costs, and expense (including,
without limitation, cost of remedial actions or
cleanup), suffered or incurred by Purchaser arising
out of Existing Hazardous Substances released into the
Property during the period of Seller's ownership or
related to the breach of the foregoing representations
and warranties, which amounts Purchaser shall be
entitled to offset against any payments next falling
due under any amounts owing to Seller by Purchaser.
5.1.12 CONDITION OF PROPERTY. To the best of Seller's
knowledge, except to the extent disclosed by Seller to
Purchaser in writing at the initial delivery of the
Due Diligence Materials, the Hotel is constructed
substantially in accordance with the plans and permits
under which it was authorized and is free of any
material physical or mechanical defects; there is
legal access to the Land at all points being used for
such access at the time of this Agreement, and all
streets, roads, highways, and avenues adjoining any
part of the Land have been dedicated to the proper
municipal authority, and such municipal authority has
the responsibility to maintain the same and the same
are open for public use; Seller has all appropriate
licenses, permits, easements, and rights of way
necessary to ensure adequate vehicular and pedestrian
ingress and egress, and no additional easements are
required for access to the Improvements or in
connection with the location of any utilities with
respect to the current uses of the Improvements; there
are not presently pending any public improvement
assessment proceedings, condemnation, or zoning
actions against the Land, or any part thereof, nor is
Seller aware of any such proceedings or actions being
threatened; there are no encroachments, boundary
problems, prescriptive or adverse interests affecting
the Land or Improvements; and there are no fixtures,
<PAGE>
facilities, utilities, heating, air conditioning,
plumbing, electrical, or other systems, equipment,
structures, or improvements of any kind whatsoever,
including without limitation driveways and parking
areas, which benefit the Property and which encroach
upon or are shared in common in any way whatsoever
with any other real property. Material defects shall
mean any defect that impairs the structural integrity
of the Improvements, the air, soil, or water quality,
or the availability of utility services relating to
the Improvements, or the use of the Improvements.
5.1.13 EMPLOYEE AGREEMENTS. There are no deferred
compensation or profit-sharing plans or arrangements
presently in force, or any other agreement with
employees which would affect the transfer of Property
contemplated by this Agreement or require Purchaser to
continue any employment or compensation arrangement
with any person. Purchaser acknowledges that Seller
has advised Purchaser that there are three labor
unions with which Seller is in varying stages of
negotiation for collective bargaining agreements for
four bargaining units at the Hotel. Seller will
deliver the prior collective bargaining agreements and
the current proposals for renegotiating those
agreements to Purchaser at the initial delivery of the
Due Diligence Materials. Seller will continue to
negotiate those agreements during the course of the
Inspection Period and will keep Purchaser fully
informed. Seller may complete such negotiations on
its own behalf up to the time at which Purchaser
waives its contingencies to purchase, at which time
Seller will suspend such negotiations until Purchaser
completes Closing. After Closing, Purchaser shall
have no obligation under such collective bargaining
agreements other than to negotiate in good faith with
any bargaining unit for which Purchaser hires more
than one-half of the members of the bargaining unit.
Except as specified above, Seller has no commitment to
create any of the above-referenced plans nor will they
do so while this Agreement is in effect. As of the
Closing, Seller shall terminate all employees in the
operation of the Hotel. Purchaser represents to
Seller that Purchaser will offer employment to the
minimum percentage of the number of employees then
normally employed at the Hotel as of the date of
Closing as would be required to prevent this
transaction triggering the provisions of the WARN Act,
but is not otherwise required to, hire some or all
such employees in connection with Purchaser's
operation of the Hotel. Seller shall be responsible
for all salaries, taxes, benefits, and vacation
(including accrued but unused vacation) for all
employees up to the Closing date.
<PAGE>
5.1.14. NON-FOREIGN STATUS. Seller is not a "foreign person"
(i.e., a nonresident alien individual or foreign
corporation) within the meaning of Section 897(a) of
the Code. At Closing, Seller will furnish Purchaser,
in accordance with Code Section 1445 and the
Regulations thereunder, with an affidavit stating,
under penalty of perjury, that Seller is not a
"foreign person," and stating Seller's taxpayer
identification number.
5.2 LIMITATION ON SELLER'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
Purchaser acknowledges that, except as expressly set forth in
this Agreement, neither Seller nor any agent or representative
of Seller has made, and Seller is not liable for or bound in
any manner by, any express or implied warranties, guaranties,
promises, statements, inducements, representations or
information pertaining to the Property or any part thereof the
physical condition, income, expenses or operation thereof, the
uses which can be made of the same or any other matter or thing
with respect thereto, including, without limitation, any
existing or prospective Space Leases. Without limiting the
foregoing, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, except as
expressly set forth in this Agreement, Seller is not liable for
or bound by (and Purchaser has not relied upon) any verbal or
written statements, representations, financial statements
pertaining to the operation of the Hotel or any other

together with a listing of the materials furnished and
a written certification to Purchaser that such
delivery constitutes all of the Due Diligence
Materials except materials which, to the best of
Seller's knowledge, do not exist or cannot be obtained
by Seller. Purchaser will notify Seller within 48
hours of receipt of the materials, list and
certification described in the preceding sentence if
any of the materials listed are not in fact delivered.
Within 48 hours of the notice described in the
preceding sentence, if any is given, Seller shall
deliver a supplemental list and certification and
materials (if any) to Purchaser. The Inspection
Period will begin on the date of the initial delivery
of Due Diligence Materials unless additional materials
are in fact delivered at the time of the supplemental
certification, if any, in which event the Inspection
Period will begin on the delivery of the supplemental
materials. In the event Seller discovers additional
Due Diligence Materials after the certifications and
deliveries described in the preceding sentences,
Seller shall immediately deliver such materials
together with a supplemental certification.
Immediately upon execution of this Agreement, Seller
shall provide Purchaser with continuing access to the
Property and complementary guest rooms (on a space
available basis) for Purchaser's inspection personnel
to complete such inspections and reports as Purchaser
may elect, provided they shall be conducted without
disruption of the operation of the Hotel and at
Purchaser's sole expense and Purchaser shall indemnify
Seller against any physical damage to the Property or
claim resulting from negligent or unlawful actions by
Purchaser or Purchaser's agents arising out of
Purchaser's inspection activities. To facilitate this
<PAGE>
