or other employees of the Operator.  Buyer further  acknowledges that it has not
received from Seller any  accounting,  tax, legal,  architectural,  engineering,
property  management  or other  advice with respect to this  transaction  and is
relying solely upon the advice of its own accounting, tax, legal, architectural,
engineering,  property management and other advisors.  Subject to the provisions
of Section 8.1 of this Agreement, Buyer shall purchase each Hotel in its "as is"
condition  on the  Closing  Date and  assumes  the risk that  adverse  physical,
environmental,  economic or legal  conditions  may not have been revealed by its
investigation. Nothing in this Section, however, shall be deemed a limitation on
any representation, warranty, covenant, indemnity or agreement expressly made by
Seller in this Agreement or in the Closing Documents.

                  (b) Except  with  respect  to any  claims  arising  out of any
breach of covenants,  representations  or warranties set forth in this Agreement
and the  Closing  Documents,  Buyer,  for  itself  and its  agents,  affiliates,
successors  and assigns,  hereby  releases and forever  discharges  Seller,  its
agents,  affiliates,  successors and assigns from any and all rights, claims and
demands  at law or in  equity,  whether  known  or  unknown  at the time of this
agreement,  which  Buyer  has or may  have  in the  future,  arising  out of the
physical, environmental, economic or legal condition of the Hotels.

                                                  Buyer

         3.3 Approval of Title  Exceptions.  Seller shall  deliver to Buyer,  as
provided in Section  3.1(a),  the  Preliminary  Title  Reports and copies of all
exceptions  described therein and a current as-built and boundary survey of each
of the Hotels.  Buyer shall be responsible  for obtaining,  at Buyer's cost, any
additional surveys Buyer may desire.  Buyer shall advise Seller in writing prior
to the expiration of the Inspection  Period of Buyer's  disapproval of any title
or survey exception shown on the materials  delivered by Seller.  All exceptions
not disapproved in writing shall be deemed "Permitted Exceptions".  In the event
Buyer  disapproves  of any such  exception,  Seller may elect to  eliminate  the
disapproved  exception  prior  to  closing,  to  provide  affirmative  insurance
reasonably  acceptable to Buyer  insuring over the  disapproved  exception or to
terminate this Agreement; provided, however, Seller shall be obligated to remove
on or before the Closing Date (i) all  mortgages or deeds of trust of record on,
or agreed to by Seller after,  the date of this  Agreement  and (ii)  delinquent
real estate taxes and assessments. Seller shall give Buyer written notice of its
intended course of action within five business days following receipt of Buyer's
disapproval.  In the  event  Seller  is  unwilling  to  remove  the  disapproved
exception and elects to terminate this Agreement, Buyer shall have five business
days  following  receipt of Seller's  notice in which to accept the  disapproved
exception,  in which case Seller's  notice of termination  shall be void and the
previously disapproved exception shall be deemed a "Permitted Exception",  or to
concur in Seller's  termination  of the  Agreement.  In no event shall Seller be
required  to expend any monies to remove any  disapproved  exception,  except as
otherwise  expressly  provided in this Section 3.3. If Buyer elects to undertake
an additional  survey of the Land and  Improvements for any or all of the Hotels
and such survey discloses title defects not previously disclosed to Buyer, Buyer
shall have until expiration of the Inspection  Period in which to disapprove any
newly  disclosed  title  defect.  In the  event  of any  such  disapproval,  the
procedures described above shall apply.

         3.4 The  Seller's  Certificate.  Seller  shall  deliver to Buyer on the
Closing  Date  a  certificate   (the   "Seller's   Certificate")   updating  the
representations  and warranties of Seller set forth in Section 5.1 below through
the Closing Date;  provided,  however,  that if Seller  becomes aware during the
Contract  Period  of any  matters  which  make  any of such  representations  or
warranties untrue,  Seller shall promptly disclose such matters to Buyer. In the
event that Buyer  otherwise  becomes  aware  during the  Contract  Period of any
matters which make any of Seller's  representations  or warranties  untrue as of
the Closing Date,  then Buyer shall notify Seller  promptly of such matters.  In
the event the Seller discloses any such matters to Buyer, or Buyer becomes aware
during the Contract Period of any such matters,  and such matters are materially
adverse to Buyer, then Buyer shall have the option of terminating this Agreement
by written  notice of such  election to Seller on or before the Closing Date. If
any such matters  disclosed by Seller or discovered  by Buyer do not  materially
and adversely affect the Buyer, then Buyer shall waive such matters and complete
the purchase of the Hotels in accordance with the terms of this  Agreement.  For
the purposes of this Section 3.4,  "Buyer  becomes aware" shall mean such matter
was expressly  disclosed in any of the documents  delivered or made available to
Buyer  pursuant to Section  3.1(a),  expressly  described in any written  report
obtained  by Buyer from a third party or within the actual  knowledge  of any of
Jeffrey Fisher, Fred Shaw or Mark Murphy prior to the Closing Date.

                  (a) During the  Contract  Period,  Seller shall not, and shall
direct Operator (except as otherwise permitted by the Management Agreements) not
to, enter into any new management  agreement,  maintenance  or repair  contract,
supply  contract,  lease or other  agreements  with respect to the Hotels or any
agreements modifying the Operating Agreements,  unless (i) any such agreement or

policies  providing  coverage  at least as  extensive  as the policy or policies

                  (d) Seller shall direct  Operator,  during the Contract Period

Hotels  only in the usual,  regular  and  ordinary  manner  consistent  with the

present  business  organization,  keep  available  the  services  of its present
management  personnel assigned to the Hotels and preserve its relationships with
suppliers  and  others  having  business  dealings  with the  Hotels.  Except as
otherwise permitted hereby,  during the Contract Period,  Seller shall not take,

Agreement  pursuant to Section 8.4 hereof have, and as of the Closing Date shall
have, full power and lawful  authority to enter into and carry out the terms and
conditions of this Agreement and to execute and deliver all documents  which are
contemplated  by this  Agreement,  and (b) all actions  necessary to confer such
power and authority upon the persons  executing this Agreement and all documents
which are  contemplated  by this  Agreement to be executed on behalf of Buyer or
its assignee have been taken.

         5.4 Limitations.  The  parties agree that (a) Seller's  warranties  and
representations  contained in this Agreement and in any document  (including any
estoppel or other  certificate)  executed by Seller  pursuant to this  Agreement
shall survive Buyer's  purchase of the Hotels and the delivery of the Deeds only
for a period of 365 days after the Closing Date (the "Limitation  Period"),  and
(b) Buyer shall provide  actual  written  notice to Seller of any breach of such
warranties or  representations  discovered by Buyer during the Limitation Period
and shall allow  Seller 30 days within  which to cure such  breach,  or, if such
breach cannot reasonably be cured within 30 days, an additional  reasonable time

                                       10
<PAGE>
period  not to exceed 90 days,  so long as such cure has been  commenced  within
such 30 days and diligently  pursued.  If Seller fails to cure such breach after
actual written notice and within such cure period,  Buyer's sole remedy shall be
an action at law for damages as a consequence thereof,  which must be commenced,
if at all, within the Limitation Period;  provided,  however, that if within the
Limitation  Period Buyer gives Seller written notice of such a breach and Seller
commences to cure and thereafter  terminates such cure effort,  Buyer shall have
an  additional  30 days  from the date  Buyer is  notified  in  writing  of such
termination or 120 days following expiration of the Limitation Period, whichever
occurs  first,  within  which to  commence  an  action at law for  damages  as a
consequence  of Seller's  failure to cure.  The  Limitation  Period  referred to
herein shall apply to known as well as unknown  breaches of such  warranties  or
representations.  The parties  acknowledge  that,  pursuant to the provisions of
Section 2.8 above,  Buyer's  consent to the close of escrow in this  transaction
shall constitute a waiver of any breach of representations or warranties arising
out of  matters  of which  Buyer  becomes  aware (as that  phrase is  defined in
Section 3.1(a)) prior to the Closing Date.


                                   ARTICLE VI
                                     DEPOSIT
                                     -------

         Contemporaneously  with the  execution  of this  Agreement,  Buyer  has
deposited in the escrow  established with the Title Company for this transaction
cash or certified  funds in the amount of $500,000 (the "Initial  Deposit").  In
the event Buyer  terminates this Agreement prior to expiration of the Inspection
Period,  the full amount of the Initial  Deposit shall be returned to Buyer.  In
the event Buyer elects to proceed with the transaction, Buyer shall deposit with
the Title Company prior to expiration of the Inspection Period cash or certified
funds in the  additional  amount of  $500,000  (with the  Initial  Deposit,  the
"Deposit"). All portions of the Deposit shall be held by the Title Company in an
interest  bearing account pursuant to instructions  from Buyer and Seller,  with
the interest  thereon earned for the account of Buyer. In the event that (a) the
conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.1 above shall have been satisfied or
waived,  (b) Seller shall have  performed  fully or tendered  performance of its
obligations  hereunder  and (c) Buyer  shall be unable  or fail to  perform  its
obligations  hereunder,  then the entire  amount of the  Deposit,  plus  accrued
interest,  shall be retained by Seller.  BUYER AND SELLER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE AND
AGREE THAT SELLER'S  DAMAGES IN THE EVENT OF SUCH A BREACH OF THIS  AGREEMENT BY
BUYER WOULD BE  DIFFICULT OR  IMPOSSIBLE  TO  DETERMINE,  THAT THE AMOUNT OF THE
DEPOSIT PLUS ACCRUED INTEREST IS THE PARTIES' BEST AND MOST ACCURATE ESTIMATE OF
THE DAMAGES  SELLER  WOULD SUFFER IN THE EVENT THE  TRANSACTION  PROVIDED FOR IN
THIS  AGREEMENT  FAILS TO CLOSE,  AS A RESULT OF BUYER'S  BREACH,  AND THAT SUCH
ESTIMATE  IS  REASONABLE  UNDER THE  CIRCUMSTANCES  EXISTING ON THE DATE OF THIS
AGREEMENT. BUYER AND SELLER AGREE THAT SELLER'S RIGHT TO RETAIN THE DEPOSIT PLUS
ACCRUED  INTEREST  SHALL BE THE SOLE  REMEDY  OF SELLER AT LAW IN THE EVENT OF A
BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT BY BUYER.

ACCEPTED AND AGREED TO:

shall be bound to purchase the Hotels for the Purchase  Price as required by the
terms of this Agreement  without  regard to the  occurrence  during the Contract
Period of any damage to or  destruction  of any of the  Improvements  ("Contract

proceeding  with  respect to any of the  Hotels  ("Condemnation").  Buyer  shall
receive  a credit  in escrow in the  amount  of any  insurance  or  condemnation

                                       14

replacement  or  restoration of any Hotel  attributable  to any Contract  Period
Damage exceeds 15% of the Purchase Price allocated to such Hotel or in the event
any Condemnation proceedings are instituted, either party may elect to terminate
this  Agreement  by  written  notice  to the  other  given not more than 10 days
following the event of damage or destruction or notification of the Condemnation

given within such 10-day period,  either to terminate this Agreement or to close

Hotel to the extent  reasonably  feasible  prior to the Closing  Date.  Seller's
election to commence the repair,  replacement  or restoration of the Hotel prior
to  the  Closing   Date  shall  in  no  way  imply  that  Seller  has  made  any
representation or warranty with respect to any work performed in connection with
such  repair,  replacement  or  restoration  ("Seller's  Repairs").  The  plans,
materials,   choice  of  contractor  and  all  other  material  aspects  of  the
performance of Seller's  Repairs shall be subject to Buyer's review and approval
(which shall not be  unreasonably  withheld) and to the general  disclaimer  set
forth in Section 2.4 above.  In the event that Buyer does not approve any aspect
of Seller's Repairs in writing within 5 days following Seller's request for such
approval,  Seller may, at its option, terminate this Agreement by written notice
delivered  to Buyer on or before the  Closing  Date.  Upon  termination  of this
Agreement  pursuant to this paragraph,  Seller shall return to Buyer the Deposit
and all rights and obligations hereunder of each party shall be at an end.

                   (d)  Notwithstanding   anything  in  this  Agreement  to  the
contrary,  the insurance  proceeds to be credited or delivered to Buyer pursuant
to this Section 8.1 shall exclude business interruption or rental loss insurance
proceeds,  if any,  allocable  to the period  through  the Closing  Date,  which
proceeds shall be retained by Seller.

the general  partner(s) of the other that,  except as expressly set forth below,

estate  finder's  fee,  real  estate   acquisition  fee  or  other  real  estate
brokerage-type  compensation  (collectively,  "Real Estate  Compensation") based
upon the acts of that party with respect to the transaction contemplated by this
Agreement.  Each party hereby agrees to indemnify and defend the other party and
the general partner(s) of the other party against and to hold the other harmless
from any and all loss, cost,  liability or expense (including but not limited to
attorneys'  fees and  returned  commissions)  resulting  from any claim for Real
Estate Compensation by any person or entity based upon such acts.

                   (b) Seller  shall pay Hodges Ward Eliott,  Inc.  ("Broker") a
real estate commission  pursuant to a separate  agreement,  and Broker shall pay
Sage Hospitality a commission as a co-operating  broker. Buyer acknowledges that

obligations  hereunder.  This  Agreement  shall  inure to the  benefit of and be
binding  upon the  parties  to this  Agreement  and their  respective  permitted
successors and assigns.

publish or otherwise distribute, and shall not authorize or permit any person or
entity (including  without limitation any member of the Buyer Group) to release,
publish or  otherwise  distribute,  to any person or entity other than Metric or
any of its Affiliates,  any Disclosure Document. The foregoing shall not prevent
Buyer from issuing such press releases as Buyer, in its sole  discretion,  shall
determine  appropriate,  provided that neither  Seller nor any of its Affiliates
are named in the press release.

              (c) Indemnification.  Buyer and Buyer's principals shall indemnify
and  hold  harmless  Metric,  its  Affiliates  and  Seller,  and all  directors,
officers,  employees,  partners,  agents and  representatives  of such  parties,
against and from any and all liability,  losses,  damages, costs and obligations
whatsoever  (including without limitation attorneys' fees and costs) which arise
out of or relate in any way to the release,  publishing or other distribution of
any Disclosure  Document by Buyer or by any person or entity (including  without
limitation any member of the Buyer Group) whom Buyer has authorized or permitted
to release, publish or otherwise distribute such Disclosure Document.
 
         8.14 Liability.  Buyer  agrees that any  liability of Seller under any
claim  brought  prior to the  Closing  Date  Pursuant to this  Agreement  or any

                                       17
<PAGE>
document or  instrument  delivered  simultaneously  or in  connection  with,  or
pursuant to this Agreement,  shall be limited to actual damages in an amount not
to exceed  $1,000,000.  With  respect to any such claim  brought  following  the
Closing Date,  any liability of Seller shall be limited  solely to the assets of
Seller, and shall in no event exceed the amount of $7,500,000. In no event shall
Buyer  seek  satisfaction  for any such  obligation  from any of the  general or
limited  partners or agents of Seller,  provided  that Seller  reserves from the
cash proceeds of sale  distributed  to Seller's  partners at any time during the
Limitation Period not less than $7,500,000.  Buyer specifically waives any right
to seek specific  performance of Seller's  obligations  under this Agreement and
acknowledges  that its only remedy in the event of a breach of this Agreement by
Seller  shall be the right  (as  limited  by this  Section  8.14) to seek  money
damages at law.

         8.15 Right of First  Offer.  Seller  hereby  agrees,  as an  additional
inducement  to Buyer to enter  into this  Agreement,  that in the  event  Seller
elects to sell its leasehold interest in the Residence Inn located in Nashville,
Tennessee (the "Nashville  Hotel"),  Seller shall give written notice thereof to
Buyer,  which  notice shall state the price at which Seller is prepared to sell.
Buyer and Seller  shall then have a period of 30 days in which to  negotiate  in
good faith a definitive  Purchase  Agreement  setting forth the terms upon which
Buyer would be obligated to purchase the Nashville  Hotel from Seller.  If Buyer
and Seller do not enter into a mutually  acceptable  Purchase  Agreement  within
such 30 day period,  Seller may thereafter  sell the Nashville  Hotel to a third
party for a price not less than 92% of the price  offered to Buyer and otherwise
on such terms and conditions as Seller, in Seller's sole discretion, shall agree
to accept. The foregoing right of first offer shall not apply to any transfer or
other  conveyance of the Nashville Hotel pursuant to a court-ordered  sale or as
part of a settlement of the pending  Nelson and/or  Hardage  litigations.  Buyer
acknowledges  that it has been  advised  that any  sale of the  Nashville  Hotel
requires  the prior  written  approval  by the  ground  lessor  of the  proposed
transferee.

         8.16 Captions.  Captions or  titles  contained  in this  Agreement  are
inserted only as a matter of convenience  and for reference  only, and in no way
limit,   define  or  extend  the   provisions  of  this   Agreement.   No  Other
Beneficiaries.  Buyer and Seller  acknowledge  that this Agreement is solely for
their own  benefit,  that of the  general  partners of Seller,  and,  subject to
Section 8.3, that of their successors and assigns, and that no other party shall
have any rights or claims arising hereunder.

         8.17 No Other  Beneficiaries.  Buyer and Seller  acknowledge  that this
Agreement is solely for their own benefit,  that of the general  partners of the
Seller,  and, subject to Section 8.3, that of their successors and assigns,  and

         8.18 Counterparts.  This  Agreement  may  be  executed  in one or  more
counterparts.  All  counterparts  so executed  shall  constitute  one  contract,
binding on all  parties,  even though all parties are not  signatory to the same
counterpart.

         8.19 Entire  Agreement.  This  Agreement  and  the  exhibits  which are
attached hereto and all documents in the nature of such exhibits, when executed,
contain the entire  understanding of the parties and supersede any and all other
written or oral understanding.
