ITEM 1.   BUSINESS

DESCRIPTION OF THE PARTNERSHIP
- ------------------------------

Desert Springs Marriott Limited Partnership (the "Partnership"), a Delaware
limited partnership which was formed on February 26, 1987, owns Marriott's
Desert Springs Resort and Spa and approximately 185 acres of land on which the
Hotel and a golf course are located (the "Hotel").  Additionally, until April
24, 1996, the Partnership owned certain Trans World Airline, Inc. ("TWA")
equipment (the "Equipment").  See Item 8, "Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data."

The sole general partner of the Partnership, with a 1% interest in the
Partnership, is Marriott Desert Springs Corporation (the "General Partner"), a
Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Host Marriott Corporation
("Host Marriott").  The Partnership is currently engaged solely in the business
of leasing the Hotel and, therefore, is engaged in one industry segment.  The
principal offices of the Partnership are located at 10400 Fernwood Road,
Bethesda, Maryland 20817.

The Hotel is leased to Marriott Hotel Services, Inc. ("MHSI" or the "Tenant"), a
wholly-owned direct subsidiary of Marriott International, Inc. ("MII"), under a
long-term lease agreement (the "Operating Lease").  A second golf course (the
"Second Golf Course") is leased by the Partnership from Marriott's Desert
Springs Development Corporation, a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of MII.  The
Hotel has the right to use the Marriott name pursuant to the lease agreements
and, if these agreements are terminated, the Partnership will lose that right
for all purposes (except as part of the Partnership's name).  See Item 13,
"Certain Relationships and Related Transactions."

The Hotel is among the premier resorts in the Marriott system and caters
primarily to meetings/conventions, leisure and commercial travel.  Since the
Hotel is located in southern California, operating results are higher during the
period from November to April each year.  The Partnership has no plans to
acquire any new properties.  See Item 2, "Property."

The Equipment was leased to TWA pursuant to the terms of an operating lease
which expired April 20, 1995.  On April 20, 1995, the Partnership and TWA
entered into a new sales-type lease agreement which was to have expired on July
24, 1996.  However, on April 24, 1996, TWA exercised its early termination
option under the equipment lease and paid the rent due on that date along with
the equipment lease termination value plus the $1 purchase option.

ORGANIZATION OF THE PARTNERSHIP
- -------------------------------

The Partnership was formed to acquire and own the Hotel and the Equipment.  The
Partnership purchased the Hotel from Desert Springs Hotel Services, a California
joint venture.  The Equipment was purchased from TWA.  Between March 20, 1987
and April 24, 1987, 900 limited partnership interests (the "Units"),
representing a 99% interest in the Partnership were subscribed pursuant to a
private placement offering.  The offering price per Unit was $100,000; $25,000
payable at subscription with the balance due in three annual installments
through June 15, 1990; or, as an alternative, $87,715 in cash at closing as full
payment of the subscription price.  Of the


                                       1
<PAGE>
 
total 900 Units, 740.5 Units were purchased on the installment basis and 159.5
Units were paid in full at closing.  The General Partner contributed $909,100 in
cash for its 1% general partnership interest.

COMPETITION
- -----------

The lodging industry as a whole, and the upscale and luxury full-service
segments in particular, is benefitting from a cyclical recovery as well as a
shift in the supply/demand relationship with supply relatively flat and demand
strengthening.  The lodging industry posted strong gains in revenues and profits
in 1996, as demand growth continued to outpace additions to supply.  The General
Partner expects full-service hotel room supply growth to remain limited through
1998 and for the foreseeable future.  This supply/demand imbalance will result
in improving occupancy and room rates which should result in improved operating
profit.

Current trends in the hotel industry indicate that, through at least 1998, the
outlook for the lodging industry remains positive.  Demand increases are
expected to continue to outpace supply additions.  Rooms supply growth,
especially for the luxury and upscale segment, is forecasted to be limited as
compared to growth in budget and mid-priced hotels.  Acquisition prices for
first class and luxury price properties are still at a significant discount to
construction, or replacement cost.  The favorable gap between demand increases
and supply additions should continue to drive room rate increases, with
occupancy rates leveling as targeted room rates are achieved.

The primary competition for the Hotel comes from the following first-class
resort lodging-oriented hotels:  (i) Marriott's Rancho Las Palmas Resort and
Country Club with 450 guest rooms, (ii) Hyatt Grand Champions Resort with 336
guest rooms, (iii) La Quinta Hotel and Resort with 640 guest rooms, (iv) Ritz-
Carlton Rancho Mirage with 238 guest rooms, (v) Westin Mission Hills Resort with
512 guest rooms and (vi) Stouffers Renaissance Hotels International with 560
rooms.  The La Quinta Resort is adding an additional 18,000 square foot ballroom
and a complete European health spa expected to open in 1997.

The Tenant believes that by emphasizing management and personnel development of
its staff and maintaining a competitive price structure, the Partnership's share
of the market will be maintained or increased.  The inclusion of the Hotel
within the nationwide MII full-service hotel system provides advantages of name
recognition, centralized reservations and advertising, system-wide marketing and
promotion, centralized purchasing and training and support services.  Additional
competitive information is set forth in Item 2, "Property," with respect to the
Hotel.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
- ---------------------

Because Host Marriott and its affiliates own and/or operate hotels other than
the Hotel owned by the Partnership, potential conflicts of interest exist.  With
respect to these potential conflicts of interest, Host Marriott and its
affiliates retain a free right to compete with the Partnership's Hotel,
including the right to develop competing hotels now and in the future, in
addition to those existing hotels which may compete directly or indirectly.

Policies with Respect to Conflicts of Interest

It is the policy of the General Partner that the Partnership relationship with
the General Partner, any of its affiliates or persons employed by the General
Partner are conducted on terms which are fair to the Partnership and which are
commercially reasonable.

The Partnership Agreement provides that agreements, contracts or arrangements
between the Partnership and the General Partner, other than arrangements for
rendering legal, tax, accounting, financial, engineering, and procurement
services to the  Partnership by the General Partner or its affiliates, which
agreements will be on commercially reasonable terms, will be subject to the
following conditions:

(a)  the General Partner or any affiliate must be actively engaged in the
     business of rendering such services or selling or leasing such goods,
     independently of its dealings with the Partnership and as an ordinary
     ongoing business or must enter into and engage in such business with MII
     system hotels or hotel owners generally and not exclusively with the
     Partnership;

(b)  any such agreement, contract or arrangement must be fair to the
     Partnership, and reflect commercially reasonable terms and shall be
     embodied in a written contract which precisely describes the subject matter
     thereof and all compensation to be paid therefor;

(c)  no rebates or give-ups may be received by the General Partner or any
     affiliate, nor may the General Partner or any affiliate participate in any
     reciprocal business arrangements which would have the effect of
     circumventing any of the provisions of the Partnership Agreement;

(d)  no such agreement, contract or arrangement as to which the limited partners
     had previously given approval may be amended in such manner as to increase
     the fees or other compensation payable to the General Partner or any
     affiliate or to decrease the responsibilities or duties of the General
     Partner or any affiliate in the absence of the consent of the limited
     partners holding a majority of the Units (excluding those Units held by the
     General Partner or certain of its affiliates); and

(e)  any such agreement, contract or arrangement which relates to or secures any
     funds advanced or loaned to any of the Partnership by the General Partner
     or any affiliate must reflect commercially reasonable terms.

EMPLOYEES
- ---------

The Partnership has no employees; however, employees of Host Marriott are
available to perform administrative services for the Partnership.  The
Partnership reimburses Host Marriott for the cost of providing such services.
See Item 11, "Executive Compensation," for information regarding payments to
Host Marriott for the cost of providing administrative services to the
Partnership.

The Hotel is staffed by employees of the Tenant.

THE TWA AIRLINE EQUIPMENT
- -------------------------

The Equipment consisted of a cross section of TWA's ground service equipment and
equipment used in the operation and maintenance of aircraft, including various
trucks, lifts, cargo loaders, cargo containers, general heavy maintenance
equipment, flight simulators, jetways, office equipment, testing materials,
vehicles and power units.  The Equipment was located at various locations in the
United States with the majority of the Equipment located at John F. Kennedy
International Airport on Long Island, New York; Los Angeles (California)
International Airport; Lambert-St. Louis (Missouri) International Airport; and
two TWA facilities at or near an airport in Kansas City, Missouri.  On April 24,
1996, TWA exercised its early termination option under the airline equipment
lease and paid the rent due on that date along with the termination value plus
the $1 purchase option.


ITEM 3.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Neither the Partnership nor the Hotel is presently subject to any material
litigation nor, to the General Partner's knowledge, is any material litigation
threatened against the Partnership or the Hotel, other than routine litigation
and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, some
of which are expected to be covered by liability insurance and which
collectively are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the business,
financial condition or results of operations of the Partnership.


ITEM 4.   SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

No matters were submitted to a vote of the limited partners in 1996 or in prior
years.  The Partnership instituted a consent solicitation on August 29, 1997, 
to obtain the consent of the limited partners to certain matters and amend
certain provisions of the Partnership Agreement.


                                    PART II

ITEM 5.   MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND
          RELATED SECURITY HOLDER MATTERS

There is currently no public market for the Units and it is not anticipated that
a public market for the Units will develop. Transfers of Units are limited to
the first day of each accounting period, and are subject to approval by the
General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion and certain other
restrictions. As of August 28, 1997 there were 1,136 holders of record of the
900 limited partnership Units.

In accordance with Sections 4.06 and 4.09 of the Partnership Agreement, cash
available for distribution for any fiscal year will be distributed at least
annually, as soon as practicable after the close of each fiscal year, to the
partners of record at the end of each fiscal quarter during such fiscal year as
follows:

                                       5
<PAGE>
 
(i)  first, 1% to the General Partner and 99% to the Limited Partners until
     through and including the end of the fiscal quarter during which the
     General Partner and the limited partners shall have received cumulative
     distributions of refinancing and/or sales proceeds ("Capital Receipts")
     equal to 50% of their capital contributions (this threshold has not been
     met as of December 31, 1996);

(ii) thereafter, 10% to the General Partner and 90% to the limited partners.

Cash available for distribution means, with respect to any fiscal period, the
revenues of the Partnership from all sources during such fiscal period less (i)
all cash expenditures of the Partnership during such fiscal period, including,
without limitation, debt service and any fees for management services and
administrative expenses; and (ii) such reserves as may be determined by the
General Partner, in its sole discretion, to be necessary to provide for the
foreseeable needs of the Partnership, but shall not include Capital Receipts.

On October 31, 1995, the Partnership made an interim cash distribution solely
from the TWA equipment lease in the amount of $3,900,000 as follows:  $39,000 to
the General Partner and $3,861,000 to the limited partners ($4,290 per Unit).
On April 15, 1996, the Partnership made a cash distribution in the amount of
$1,547,270, $15,470 to the General Partner and $1,531,800 to the limited
partners ($1,702 per Unit) representing a final cash distribution from the 1995
TWA equipment lease payments.

On October 31, 1994, the Partnership made an interim cash distribution solely
from the TWA equipment lease in the amount of $1,660,910 as follows:  $16,610 to
the General Partner and $1,644,300 to the limited partners ($1,827 per Unit).
On April 15, 1995, the Partnership made a cash distribution in the amount of
$1,170,000, $11,700 to the General Partner and $1,158,300 to the limited
partners ($1,287 per Unit) representing a final cash distribution from the 1994
TWA equipment lease payments.

In accordance with section 4.07, 4.08 and 4.09 of the Partnership Agreement,
Capital Receipts not retained by the Partnership will be distributed to the
owners of record on the last day of the fiscal quarter in which the transaction
is completed, as follows:

(i)  first, 1% to the General Partner and 99% to the limited partners until the
     partners have received cumulative distributions of Capital Receipts equal
     to their capital contributions; and

(ii) thereafter, 10% to the General Partner and 90% to the limited partners.

As of August 28, 1997, cumulative distributions of Capital Receipts equaled
$18,046,400 ($180,500 to the General Partner and $17,865,900 to the limited
partners ($19,851 per Unit)).

ITEM 7.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL
- -------

The following discussion and analysis addresses the results of operations of the
Partnership for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994.

Growth in the Partnership's total Hotel room sales, and thus rental income, is
primarily a function of average occupancy and average room rates, as well as
control of hotel operating costs.  In addition, due to the amount of
meeting/convention business at the Hotel, food and beverage and golf and spa
operations have a direct effect on the Partnership's rental income.  REVPAR, or
revenue per available room, represents the combination of the average daily room
rate charged and the average daily occupancy achieved and is a commonly used
indicator of hotel performance (although it is not a GAAP measure of revenue).
REVPAR does not include food and beverage or other ancillary revenues generated
by the Hotel.  REVPAR for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996 was
$102, $104 and $113, respectively.  Food and beverage sales increased from $31.7
million in 1994 to $33.5 million in 1995 and to $38.4 million in 1996 due to
increased group sales.

Net rental income from the Hotel and Equipment rental is applied to debt
service, property taxes, partnership administrative costs, Partnership funded
capital expenditures and cash distributions to the partners.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

1996 Compared to 1995

   Hotel Rental Income.  Hotel rental income for 1996 increased 18% from $19.9
million in 1995 to $23.4 million in 1996.  For the year, total Hotel revenues
increased 15% due to increases in all areas of the Hotel including rooms, food
and beverage, golf and spa and other ancillary

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
revenues.  REVPAR improved 9% to $113 due to a 5% increase in average room rate
to approximately $158 and a 2.0 percentage point increase in average daily
occupancy to approximately 71%.  Food and beverage revenues increased 15% from
$33.5 million in 1995 to $38.4 million in 1996.

   Airline Equipment Rental Income.  Airline equipment rental income decreased
56% from $2.8 million in 1995 to $1.2 million in 1996 due to the termination of
the airline equipment lease in April 1996.  On April 24, 1996, TWA, the lessee,
terminated the lease and purchased the equipment, as permitted under the lease
agreement.

   Other Income.  Other income decreased 34% from $1.6 million in 1995 to $1.1
million in 1996.  The decrease is primarily due to $692,000 of income recognized
in 1995 on the funding of the pool expansion by Marriott Vacation Club
International ("MVCI") offset by a $108,000 increase in interest income earned
in 1996 on the Partnership's cash held for refinancing.

   Interest Expense.  Interest expense increased 16% from $13.4 million in 1995
to $15.5 million in 1996 due to an increase in the interest rate.  The mortgage
debt matured on July 27, 1996 and went into default on the maturity date.
Pursuant to the loan documents, the mortgage debt accrued interest at the
default rate of 10.75% until the refinancing on December 23, 1996.  The weighted
average interest rate on the first mortgage debt was 9.0% in 1996 and 7.8% in
1995.

   Depreciation and amortization.  Depreciation and amortization decreased by
$100,000 due to the write-off in 1995 of the airline equipment partially offset
by an increase in building and equipment depreciation due to the $9.1 million
rooms renovation.

   Property Taxes.  Property tax expense increased 61% to $2.0 million in 1996
from $1.2 million in 1995 primarily due to a nonrecurring $600,000 refund
received in 1995 related to property taxes paid in prior years.

   Partnership administration and other.  Partnership administration and other
increased 34% primarily due to an increase in administrative costs due to the
refinancing of the mortgage debt.

1995 Compared to 1994

   Hotel Rental Income.  Hotel rental income for 1995 increased 6.4% from $18.7
million in 1994 to $19.9 million in 1995.  For the year, total Hotel revenues
increased 4% driven primarily by a 6% increase  in food and beverage revenue
from $31.7 million in 1994 to $33.5 million in 1995.  Room rates in the desert
market increased only slightly and occupancies remained virtually flat when
compared to 1994 due to the sluggish regional economy and continued competitive
constraints.  Despite these factors, Hotel management was able to increase
REVPAR to $104 as a result of a 1.3% increase in average room rate to
approximately $150 and a slight increase in average occupancy to 69%.  The Hotel
benefitted from a significant increase in ancillary sales to group guests,
particularly in catering, golf and spa, with sales in these areas increasing
$2.4 million over 1994.  In addition, profit margins improved significantly over
1994 as a result of a 7% labor productivity increase.  As a result, hotel
operating results (hotel sales net of hotel operating expenses) increased 10%
over the prior year.

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
   Other Income.  During 1995, other income increased 30% from $1.2 million in
1994 to $1.6 million in 1995.  The increase is due primarily to $700,000 of
income recognized on MVCI's funding of the pool expansion and increased interest
income earned on the Partnership's refinancing reserve.

   Depreciation and amortization.  Depreciation and amortization decreased by
$1.1 million or 12.4%, when compared to 1994 due to the decrease in airline
equipment depreciation.

   Property Taxes.  Property tax expense decreased 36%, from $1.9 million in
1994 to $1.2 million in 1995, primarily due to reduced property tax assessments
combined with a $600,000 refund received in 1995 related to property taxes paid
in prior years.

   Partnership administration and other.  Partnership administration and other
decreased 49% primarily due to a $400,000 loss on the retirement of fixed assets
recorded in 1994.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
- -------------------------------

Principal Sources and Uses of Cash

The Partnership's continuing principal source of cash is from the Hotel
Operating Lease.  Prior to the Equipment Lease termination, the Partnership's
principal sources of cash included rents received under the Equipment Lease and
proceeds from Equipment sales.  Its principal uses of cash are to fund the
property improvement fund, pay interest on mortgage debt and cash distributions
to the partners.

The Hotel Operating Lease provides for the payment of the greater of Basic
Rental or Owner's Priority.  Basic Rental equals 80% of Operating Profit, as
defined.  Owner's Priority equals the greater of (i) $20 million plus debt
service on certain additional debt to expand the Hotel or (ii) Debt Service, as
defined.  (In no event will Owner's Priority for any year exceed operating
profit.)

The basis for computing the amounts paid pursuant to the Operating Lease is
expected to change in future periods.  Pursuant to an agreement reached with MII
on December 23, 1996, for fiscal year 1997, the $20 million Owner's Priority
will be increased to $20.5 million.  MII will be entitled only to the next $2
million of Operating Profit, as defined.  Any additional Operating Profit in
excess of $22.5 million will be remitted entirely to the Partnership as
additional rent.  MII has also agreed that once long-term refinancing of the
existing mortgage debt is consummated, Owner's Priority will be increased to
$21.5 million and MII will be entitled only to the next $1.8 million of
Operating Profit.  Any additional Operating Profit in excess of $23.3 million
will be shared 75% to the Partnership and 25% to MII.  In connection with and
concurrently with the consummation of the long-term financing in 1997, MII
agreed to waive any and all claims to Additional Rental, as defined, that have
accrued prior to the consummation of such loan.

Total cash provided by operations of the Hotel was $5.9 million, $6.7 million
and $7.0 million for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1995 and 1996,
respectively.  Proceeds from the sale of airline equipment were less than
$100,000 for the year ended December 31, 1994, $4.0 million

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
for the year ended December 31, 1995 and $2.5 million for the year ended
December 31, 1996.  There will be no sales in future periods due to the sale of
the Equipment.  Cash contributed to the property improvement fund of the Hotel
was $3.7 million, $3.8 million and $4.4 million for the years ended December 31,
1994, 1995 and 1996, respectively.  Cash distributed to the partners was $4.0
million, $5.0 million and $1.5 million during the years ended December 31, 1994,
1995 and 1996, respectively.

The General Partner expects that contributions to the property improvement fund
will be a sufficient reserve for the future capital repair and replacement needs
of the Hotel's property and equipment.

Pursuant to the terms of the Hotel Operating Lease, the Partnership is obligated
to fund major improvements for the Hotel's mechanical and heating systems.
During 1998, the Partnership expects to fund approximately $1.5 million for
improvements to the Hotel's HVAC system (heating, ventilating and air
conditioning).  The Partnership has a reserve established to pay for these
improvements which is expected to be sufficient.  There are currently no
additional Partnership funded capital expenditure items planned for 1997 or
1998.

DEBT FINANCING
- --------------

As of December 31, 1995, the Partnership's nonrecourse mortgage debt (the
"Mortgage Debt") balance was $168.2 million.  The weighted average interest rate
was 7.76% through maturity on July 27, 1996.  Debt service on the Mortgage Debt
required no principal amortization prior to maturity.  Debt service was funded
by rental payments received from the Hotel.

The Mortgage Debt was secured by the Partnership's fee interest in the Hotel,
leasehold interest in the Second Golf Course, a security interest in certain
personal property associated with the Hotel including furniture and equipment,
contracts and other general intangibles, and a security interest in the
Partnership's rights under the Hotel operating lease, the Hotel purchase
agreement and other related agreements.  The lender did not have a security
interest in the Equipment.

The Mortgage Debt matured on July 27, 1996.  The General Partner's attempts to
negotiate a forbearance agreement with the lender were unsuccessful.  Pursuant
to the terms of the Mortgage Debt, the debt was in default from the Maturity
Date until December 23, 1996, and carried interest at a rate of 10.75% which was
2.5 percentage points above the lender's corporate base rate.

On December 23, 1996, pursuant to an agreement with the Partnership, GMAC
Commercial Mortgage Corporation ("GMAC") purchased the existing Mortgage Debt of
the Partnership and amended and restated certain terms thereof (as amended and
restated, the "Bridge Loan").  The Bridge Loan consists of a $160 million
nonrecourse mortgage loan.  The Partnership utilized $8.2 million from its
refinancing reserve to reduce the principal outstanding balance of the Mortgage
Debt to the $160 million outstanding under the Bridge Loan.  In addition, the
Partnership utilized $2.6 million from the refinancing reserve to pay costs
associated with the financing including lender's fees, property appraisals,
environmental studies and legal fees.  Approximately half of the $2.6 million
was for fees related to the long-term financing.  The Bridge Loan was originated
by Goldman Sachs Mortgage Company ("GSMC"), matures on October 31, 1997 and
bears

                                      10
<PAGE>
 
interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 2.75 percentage
points and requires that all excess cash from Hotel operations, if any, be held
in a debt service reserve for future debt service or to reduce the outstanding
principal balance of the Bridge Loan upon maturity.  For the year ended December
31, 1996, the weighted-average interest rate on the Partnership's mortgage debt
was 9.0%.  In 1995, the weighted-average interest rate on the Mortgage Debt was
7.8%.  At December 31, 1996, the interest rate on the Bridge Loan was 8.4%.
Failure to refinance or extend the Bridge Loan upon maturity could result in
foreclosure of the Hotel by the Bridge Loan lender.

The Bridge Loan is secured by the Partnership's fee interest in the Hotel, a
security interest in certain personal property associated with the Hotel
including furniture and equipment, contracts and other general intangibles and a
security interest in the Partnership's rights under the Hotel operating lease,
the Hotel purchase agreement and other related agreements.

Pursuant to the terms of the debt refinancing there are no continuing
requirements for a debt service guarantee.  Host Marriott and the General
Partner were released of their obligations to the Partnership under their
original debt service guarantee with the refinancing of the Partnership's
Mortgage Debt.

In conjunction with the refinancing of the Mortgage Debt, the General Partner
reaffirmed a foreclosure guarantee to the lender in the amount of $50 million.
Pursuant to the terms of the foreclosure guarantee, amounts would be payable
only upon a foreclosure of the Hotel and only to the extent that the gross
proceeds from a foreclosure sale were less than $50 million.

The General Partner is currently pursuing two alternatives to refinance the
Bridge Loan.  Each alternative would require that certain amendments (the
"Amendments") be made to the Partnership's Amended and Restated Agreement of
Limited Partnership (the "Partnership Agreement").

   Loan Alternative A.  One of the two alternatives to refinance the Bridge Loan
would involve a loan from GSMC consisting of two tranches of debt:  (i) a senior
loan to a newly formed 100% owned subsidiary ("New Sub") of the Partnership that
would own the Hotel, which senior loan would be secured by a first mortgage lien
on the Hotel in an amount up to $103 million (with the final amount to be
determined based upon the net cash flow at the Hotel and prevailing interest
rates) and (ii) a junior loan to the Partnership, which junior loan would be
secured by the Partnership's 100% direct and indirect ownership interests in the
Partnership's newly formed subsidiary, in an amount equal to $57 million or such
greater amount that, when combined with the principal amount of the senior loan,
would total $160 million ("Alternative A").  Alternative A would enable the
Partnership to refinance the Bridge Loan.  In connection with the closing of the
Bridge Loan on December 23, 1996, the General Partner entered into a commitment
letter with GSMC setting forth the terms of Alternative A.


   Loan Alternative B. The other alternative ("Alternative B") would involve a
refinancing consisting of the senior loan from GSMC as described in Alternative
A, a subordinate tranche of debt from GSMC to the Partnership in the amount of
$20 million (the "Mezzanine Loan") secured by the Partnership's 100% direct and
indirect ownership interests in the Partnership's newly formed subsidiary, and a
subordinate junior tranche to the Partnership (the "HM Junior Loan")

                                      11
<PAGE>
 
from DSM Finance LLC (the "Junior Lender"), a single member Maryland limited
liability company of which the General Partner is the sole member. The HM Junior
Loan would be in the amount of $59.7 million, and if consented to by the lender
of the Mezzanine Loan would be secured by a subordinate pledge of the
Partnership's 100% direct and indirect ownership interests in the New Sub. would
be secured by a subordinate pledge of the Partnership's 100% direct and indirect
ownership interests in the New Sub. Alternative B is expected to result in $22.7
million of proceeds in excess of that needed to refinance the Bridge Loan, which
would be distributed by the Partnership to its partners resulting in a
distribution to holders (the "Unitholders") of units of limited partnership
interest in the Partnership ("Units") of $25,000 per Unit.

The terms of the Senior Loan contemplate that, consistent with applicable rating
agency requirements, the Hotel would be contributed to the New Sub in exchange
for 100% of the direct and indirect interests in the New Sub.  This structure
would create a bankruptcy remote entity which would be the borrower under the
Senior Loan.  The Partnership Agreement does not currently permit this
contribution and, accordingly, each of Alternative A and Alternative B is
contingent on the approval by the Limited Partners of an amendment that would
permit such a contribution.  On August 29, 1997, the General Partner initiated
the solicitation of consents of the limited partners of the Partnership,
pursuant to which the General Partner has sought approval of amendments to
refinance the Bridge Loan under either Alternative A or Alternative B and
proposed Alternative B to fund the DSM Junior Loan together with other
amendments to the Partnership Agreement.

The proposed Amendments also would allow the Partnership to reorganize the
ownership structure of the Hotel to provide additional tiers of structured
financing.  GSMC has indicated that it would prefer a structured financing under
Alternative B whereby (i) the New Sub would own the Hotel and would be the
Debtor on the Senior Loan,  GSMC has indicated that it might prefer a structured
financing under Alternative B whereby (i) the New Sub would own the Hotel and
whould be the Debtor on the Senior Loan, (ii) a new bankruptcy remote subsidiary
of the Partnership (the "Tier 2 Sub") would be formed to own the New Sub and be
the debtor on the Mezzanine Loan, and (iii) the Partnership would own the Tier 2
Sub (and indirectly own the New Sub and the Hotel) and would be the debtor on
the HM Junior Loan.  As of the date of the consent solicitation statement, no
determination has been made as to whether a tiered subsidiary structure would be
utilized under Alternative B.  However, under the proposed terms of the
Mezzanine Loan, the interest rate for the Mezzanine Loan would be increased by
one percentage point if a tiered subsidiary structure has not been implemented
on or before March 31, 1998.  The effect of the refinancing to the Limited
Partners would be the same under either structure.  If these proposed Amendments
are approved, the General Partner would be able to create a new wholly owned
subsidiary such as the Tier 2 Sub to provide for the current or future
restructuring of the Partnership's mortgage debt.

Debt to MII

On April 30, 1996, the Partnership entered into a short-term loan with MII in
the amount of $1,700,000 to fund a portion of the Hotel's rooms refurbishment
project. The loan's stated maturity was June 13, 1997, bearing interest at 8.5%
and was to be repaid from the property improvement fund as contributions are
made during the year. At December 31, 1996, the loan balance was $900,000. The
loan was fully repaid on March 28, 1997.

                                      12
<PAGE>
 
Property Improvement Fund

The Partnership is required to maintain the Hotel in good repair and condition.
The Hotel Operating Lease agreement requires the Tenant to make annual
contributions to the property improvement fund for the Hotel on behalf of the
Partnership.  Contributions to the fund are equal to 4.5% of Hotel gross
revenues through 1997 increasing to 5.5% thereafter.  Total contributions to the
fund were $3.7 million for 1994, $3.8 million for 1995, and $4.4 million in
1996.  The balance of the Hotel's property improvement fund was $1.0 million as
of December 31, 1996.

During the summer of 1996, a $9.1 million rooms refurbishment was completed at
the Hotel.  The property improvement fund was not sufficient to fund the
refurbishment.  The Partnership arranged a short-term loan from MII of up to
$1.7 million at a fixed rate of 8.5% to finance the anticipated shortfall.  The
loan was to be repaid from the property improvement fund, and the loan has been
fully repaid prior to its maturity on June 13, 1997.  The General Partner
believes that funds available from the property improvement fund will be
adequate for anticipated renewal and replacement expenditures.

During 1995, the Hotel's main swimming pool was expanded.  This $2.1 million
expansion was funded partially with $692,000 in proceeds received from MVCI
pursuant to an agreement between the Partnership and MVCI for the development of
additional time share units on land adjacent to the Hotel.  The Partnership
funded the remaining $1.4 million from cash reserves.

Equipment Lease

The Partnership leased airline equipment to TWA under an operating lease which
expired in April 1995.  On April 20, 1995, the Partnership reached an agreement
with TWA whereby TWA was obligated to pay quarterly payments of $780,000 plus
interest in arrears at 17%.  At the end of the lease in July 1996 (or earlier if
a termination option was exercised), TWA had the option to purchase the
equipment for one dollar ($1).  The lease generated $5.4 million in cash flow
during the 1995 fiscal year.  As a result of the lease renewal terms, the
Partnership recorded a receivable for the future lease payments due from TWA and
deferred the gain on the transaction.  The deferred gain was recognized as
income as lease payments were received.  Total rental income recognized in 1995
and 1996 on the lease was $2.8 million and $1.2 million, respectively.  The
original cost of the airline equipment was depreciated over the life of the
operating lease.  Depreciation expense on the airline equipment was $526,000 for
the year ended December 31, 1995.

On April 24, 1996, TWA exercised its early termination option under the airline
equipment lease and paid the rent due on that date of $847,000 along with the
termination value of $780,000 plus the $1 purchase option.  Rental income of
$1,248,000 was generated by the lease in 1996.

INFLATION
- ---------

For the three fiscal years ended December 31, 1996, the rate of inflation has
been relatively low and, accordingly, has not had a significant impact on the
Partnership's gross income and net income.  The Operating Tenant is generally
able to pass through increased costs to customers through higher room rates.  In
1996, the increase in average room rates at the Hotel exceeded 

                                      13
<PAGE>
 
those of direct competitors as well as the general level of inflation.

SEASONALITY
- -----------

Demand, and thus occupancy and room rates, is affected by normally recurring
seasonal patterns.  Demand tends to be higher during the months of November
through April than during the remainder of the year.  This seasonality tends to
affect the results of operations, increasing the revenue and rental income
during these months.  In addition, this seasonality may also increase the
liquidity of the Partnership during these months.

NEW STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
- -----------------------------------------------

During 1996, the Partnership adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of."  Adoption of SFAS No. 121 did not have an
effect on its financial statements.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
- --------------------------

Certain matters discussed in this Management's Discussion and Analysis section
are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Litigation
Reform Act of 1995 and as such may involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance
or achievements of the Partnership to be different from any future results,
performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements.  Although the Partnership believes the expectations reflected in
such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, it can
give no assurance that its expectations will be attained.  The Partnership
undertakes no obligation to publicly release the result of any revisions to
these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect any future events
or circumstances.

                   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TO THE PARTNERS OF DESERT SPRINGS MARRIOTT LIMITED PARTNERSHIP:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Desert Springs Marriott
Limited Partnership (a Delaware limited partnership) as of December 31, 1996 and
1995, and the related statements of operations, changes in partners' (deficit)
capital and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 1996.  These financial statements and the schedule referred to below are the
responsibility of the General Partner'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 Desert Springs Marriott Limited
Partnership as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for each of the three years in 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 at Item 14(a)(2)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS




DESERT SPRINGS MARRIOTT LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE 1.  THE PARTNERSHIP

Description of the Partnership

Desert Springs Marriott Limited Partnership (the "Partnership"), a Delaware
limited partnership, was formed to acquire and own Marriott's Desert Springs
Resort and Spa and the land on which the 884-room hotel and a golf course are
located (the "Hotel") and airline equipment.  On December 29, 1995, Host
Marriott Corporation's operations were divided into two separate companies:
Host Marriott Corporation ("Host Marriott") and Host Marriott Services
Corporation.  The sole general partner of the Partnership, with a 1% interest,
is Marriott Desert Springs Corporation (the "General Partner"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Host Marriott.  The Hotel is leased to Marriott Hotel Services,
Inc. (the "Tenant"), a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of MII, along with a
second golf course leased by the Partnership from Marriott Desert Springs
Development Corporation, also a wholly-owned subsidiary of MII.  The airline
equipment was leased to Trans World Airlines, Inc. ("TWA") pursuant to the terms
of an operating lease through April 20, 1995.  On April 20, 1995, the
Partnership entered into a new sales-type lease agreement which was due to
expire on June 24, 1996.  On April 24, 1996, TWA exercised its early termination
option under the airline equipment lease and paid the rent due on that date of
$847,000 along with the termination value of $780,000 plus the $1 purchase
option (see Note 6).

The Partnership was formed on February 26, 1987, and operations commenced on
April 24, 1987 (the "Unit Offering Closing Date").  Between March 20, 1987, and
the Unit Offering Closing Date, 900 limited partnership interests (the "Units")
were subscribed pursuant to a private placement offering.  The offering price
per Unit was $100,000; $25,000 payable at subscription with the balance due in
three annual installments through June 15, 1990, or, as an alternative, $87,715
in cash at closing as full payment of the subscription price.  Of the total 900
Units, 740.5 were purchased on the installment basis and 159.5 Units were paid
in full.  The General Partner contributed $909,100 in cash for its 1% general
partnership interest.

Partnership Allocations and Distributions

Under the partnership agreement, Partnership allocations, for Federal income tax
purposes, and distributions are generally made as follows:

a.   Cash available for distribution will generally be distributed (i) first, 1%
     to the General Partner and 99% to the limited partners until the General
     Partner and the limited partners (collectively, the "Partners") have
     received cumulative distributions of sale or refinancing proceeds ("Capital
     Receipts") equal to $45,454,545; and (ii) thereafter, 10% to the General
     Partner and 90% to the limited partners.

b.   Refinancing proceeds and proceeds from the sale or other disposition of
     less than substantially all of the assets of the Partnership, not retained
     by the Partnership, will be distributed (i) first, 1% to the General
     Partner and 99% to the limited partners, until the Partners have received
     cumulative distributions of Capital Receipts equal to $90,909,100; and (ii)
     thereafter, 10% to the General Partner and 90% to the limited partners.

     Proceeds from the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of
     the assets of the Partnership or from the sale or other disposition of all
     or substantially all of the Hotel will be distributed to the Partners pro
     rata in accordance with their capital account balances as defined in the
     partnership agreement.

                                      21
<PAGE>
 
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

c.   Net profits will be allocated as follows:  (i) first, through and including
     the year ended December 31, 1990, 99% to the General Partner and 1% to the
     limited partners; (ii) next, through and including the year ending December
     31, 1992, 70% to the General Partner and 30% to the limited partners; and
     (iii) thereafter, 10% to the General Partner and 90% to the limited
     partners.

d.   Net losses will be allocated 100% to the General Partner through December
     31, 1990, and thereafter, 70% to the General Partner and 30% to the limited
     partners, subject to certain limitations, as specified in the partnership
     agreement, regarding allocations to the limited partners.

e.   The deduction for interest on the Purchase Note, as defined, which
     cumulatively will not exceed $12,285 per Unit will be allocated to those
     limited partners owning the Units purchased on the installment basis.

f.   In general, gain recognized by the Partnership will be allocated as
     follows:  (i) first, to all Partners whose capital accounts have negative
     balances until such negative balances are brought to zero; (ii) next, to
     all Partners up to the amount necessary to bring their respective capital
     account balances to an amount equal to their respective invested capital,
     as defined; (iii) third, in the case of gain arising from the sale or other
     disposition (or from a related series of sales or dispositions) of all or
     substantially all of the assets of the Partnership, (a) to the limited
     partners in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (1) the sum of the
     product of 12% times the weighted-average of the limited partners' invested
     capital, as defined, each year, minus (2) the sum of cumulative
     distributions to the limited partners of cash available for distribution,
     and (b) next, to the General Partner until it has been allocated an amount
     equal to 10/90 times the amount allocated to the limited partners in (a);
     and (iv) thereafter, 12% to the General Partner and 88% to the limited
     partners.

For financial reporting purposes, profits and losses are allocated among the
Partners based upon their stated interests in cash available for distribution.


NOTE 2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Accounting

The Partnership records are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting and
its fiscal year coincides with the calendar year.

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.

                                      22
<PAGE>
 
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is recorded at cost.  Depreciation is computed using the
straight-line method over the following
estimated useful lives of the assets less an estimated residual value of 10% on
the original building cost and 20% on the airline equipment cost:

                  Building and improvements       50 years
                  Furniture and equipment    4 to 10 years
                  Airline equipment                8 years

All Hotel property and equipment is pledged as security for the Mortgage Debt
described in Note 5.

The Partnership assesses impairment of its real estate property based on whether
estimated undiscounted future cash flow from the hotel will be less than its net
book value.  If the property is impaired, its basis is adjusted to fair market
value.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs represent the costs incurred in connection with
obtaining debt financing and are amortized over the term thereof.  The original
Mortgage Debt (see Note 5) matured on July 27, 1996.  Deferred financing costs
associated with that debt, totaling $943,000, were fully amortized at maturity
and removed from the Partnership's books.  Costs associated with the refinanced
Mortgage Debt totaled $2,658,000 at December 31, 1996.  At December 31, 1996 and
1995, accumulated amortization of deferred financing costs totalled $21,000 and
$859,000, respectively.

Additional Rental

Under the terms of the Hotel operating lease (see Note 7), the Tenant  pays
Additional Rental to the Partnership which is subject to possible repayment
under defined conditions; therefore, Additional Rental has been recorded as a
liability in the financial statements.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Partnership considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of less
than three months at date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Income Taxes

Provision for Federal and state income taxes has not been made in the
accompanying financial statements since the Partnership does not pay income
taxes, but rather, allocates its profits and losses to the individual partners.
Significant differences exist between the net loss/net income for financial
reporting purposes and the net loss/net income reported  in the Partnership's
tax return.  These differences are due primarily to the use for income tax
purposes of accelerated depreciation methods, shorter depreciable lives for the
assets and differences in the timing of recognition of rental income.  As a
result of these differences, the excess of the tax basis in net Partnership
liabilities and the net liabilities reported in the accompanying financial
statements at December 31, 1996 and 1995 was $26.0 million and $24.5 million,
respectively.

                                      23

New Statements of Financial Accounting Standards

The Partnership adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," during
1994.  Adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the
Partnership's financial statements.

The Partnership adopted SFAS No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-
Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" during 1996.  Adoption
of SFAS No. 121 did not have any effect on the Partnership's financial
statements.

future debt service payments discounted at estimated market rates.  Additional
rental paid by the Hotel lessee is valued based on the expected future payments
from operating cash flow discounted at a risk-adjusted rate.  As further
explained in Note 7, upon closing of the permanent financing to take place in
1997, MII agreed to waive all claims to Additional Rental that has accrued prior
to the consummation of the loan.  Consequently, the estimated fair value of
Additional Rental paid by the Hotel lessee is zero.

As further explained in Note 7, the Partnership is required to maintain a
property improvement fund for the purpose of funding capital expenditures.  As
of December 31, 1995, a portion of the Partnership's property improvement fund
was invested in debt securities which matured in 1996.  Pursuant to the
provisions of SFAS No. 115, the securities were classified as held-for-sale and
adjusted to their fair market value.  The proceeds from the sale of the
securities were used to fund a portion of the rooms refurbishment project which
was completed in the fourth quarter of 1996.


NOTE 5.  DEBT

Mortgage Debt

As of December 31, 1995, Partnership debt consisted of a $168.2 million
nonrecourse mortgage loan (the "Mortgage Debt") which matured on July 27, 1996.
The Mortgage Debt bore interest at a fixed rate of 7.76% and required no
amortization of principal prior to maturity.

The Mortgage Debt matured on July 27, 1996, and went into default on the
maturity date as the Partnership was unable to secure replacement financing or
negotiate a forbearance agreement with the lender.  Pursuant to the loan
documents, the Mortgage Debt began to accrue interest at the Default Rate, as
defined, of 10.75% which is 2.5 percentage points above the Lender's Corporate
Base Rate, as defined, from the maturity date through December 23, 1996.

The Partnership's debt was refinanced on December 23, 1996.  The Mortgage Debt
was fully repaid with the proceeds from a $160 million nonrecourse mortgage loan
(the "Bridge Loan") combined with a principal paydown in the amount of $8.2
million from the Partnership's refinancing reserve.  The new loan was originated
by Goldman, Sachs & Co. ("Goldman Sachs") and the lender is GMAC Commercial
Mortgage Corporation.  The debt refinancing will take place in two stages.  The
first stage, which took effect on December 23, provides an interim $160 million
mortgage loan that matures on October 31, 1997.  This debt will bear interest at
LIBOR plus 2.75 percentage points and requires that all excess cash from Hotel
operations, if any, be held in a debt service reserve for future debt service or
to reduce the outstanding principal balance upon maturity.  For the year, the
weighted-average interest rate on the Partnership's Mortgage Debt was 9.0%.  In
1995 the weighted-average interest rate on the Mortgage Debt was 7.8%.  At
December 31, 1996, the interest rate on the Bridge Loan was 8.4%.

The second stage of the refinancing will involve securing long-term financing
for the Hotel.  Concurrently with entering into the interim loan agreement, the
Partnership signed a commitment letter with Goldman Sachs which outlines the
possible terms of a long-term loan to be finalized prior to October 31, 1997.
Under the terms of the commitment letter, the long-term debt would consist of
two notes:  a $99 million "Senior Note" and a $61 million "Junior Note."
Pursuant to the terms of the commitment, the Senior Note will be provided by
Goldman Sachs, will bear interest at 12-year U.S. Treasuries plus 1.9
percentage points (currently 8.7%) and will require principal amortization on a
25-year term.

                                      25
<PAGE>
 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to the terms of the commitment letter, the Partnership has certain
options available to finance the Junior Note.  One option is for Goldman Sachs
to provide the Junior Note in two tranches of debt.  The first tranche of $39.1
million would bear interest at 12-year U.S. Treasuries plus 6.5 percentage
points with amortization based upon a 12.5 year term.  The second tranche of
debt approximating $21.9 million would bear interest at 20% with principal
amortization to be paid from excess cash flow as defined in the commitment
letter.  Other options available to finance the Junior Note amount include Host
Marriott or a subsidiary or MII providing a loan to the Partnership.

The Partnership utilized $2.6 million from the refinancing reserve to pay costs
associated with the financing including lender or a subsidiary fees, property
appraisals, environmental studies and legal fees.  Approximately half of the
$2.6 million was for fees related to the long-term financing.

The Bridge Loan is secured by the Partnership's fee interest in the Hotel, a
security interest in certain personal property associated with the Hotel
including furniture and equipment, contracts and other general intangibles and a
security interest in the Partnership's rights under the Hotel operating lease,
the Hotel purchase agreement and other related agreements.

Pursuant to the terms of the debt refinancing there are no continuing
requirements for a debt service guarantee.  Host Marriott and the General
Partner were released of their obligations to the Partnership under their
original debt service guarantee with the refinancing of the Partnership Mortgage
Debt.

In conjunction with the refinancing of the Mortgage Debt, the General Partner
reaffirmed a foreclosure guarantee to the lender in the amount of $50 million.
Pursuant to the terms of the foreclosure guarantee, amounts would be payable
only upon a foreclosure of the Hotel and only to the extent that the gross
proceeds from a foreclosure sale were less than $50 million.

Debt to MII

On April 30, 1996, the Partnership entered into a short-term loan with MII in
the amount of $1,700,000 to fund a portion of the Hotel's rooms refurbishment
project.  The loan matures on June 13, 1997, bears interest at 8.5% and will be
repaid from the property improvement fund as contributions are made during the
year.  The Partnership was required to make principal payments of $200,000 on
the last day of each Accounting Period in 1996, as defined, beginning on October
4, 1996.  Thereafter, principal payments of $300,000 per Accounting Period are
scheduled to be paid.  At December 31, 1996, the loan balance was $900,000.


NOTE 6.  AIRLINE EQUIPMENT LEASE

The Partnership leased airline equipment to TWA under the terms of an operating
lease which expired in April 1995.  Pursuant to the terms of the airline
equipment lease, TWA was obligated to make semi-annual payments, in arrears,
based upon specified percentages of the Partnership's cost of the airline
equipment.  Rental income under the operating lease is included in "Airline
equipment income" in the statement of operations and was $852,000 in 1995, and
$2,731,000 in 1994.

                                      26
<PAGE>
 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On April 20, 1995, the Partnership reached an agreement with TWA whereby TWA was
obligated to pay renewal rents under a 15-month lease agreement.  The renewal
rents consisted of quarterly payments of $780,000 plus 17% interest paid in
arrears, all of which totalled $6.5 million.  At the end of the lease term, TWA
had the option to purchase the equipment for one dollar ($1).  The Partnership
classified the new lease as a sales-type lease and recorded a receivable for the
future lease payments due from TWA, along with a deferred gain on the
transaction.  The deferred gain is recognized as income as lease payments are
received on the installment method as a component of the line item "Airline
Equipment Income" in the statement of operations.  Deferred gain amortization
was $1,248,000 in 1996 and $1,985,000 in 1995.  On April 24, 1996, TWA exercised
its early termination option under the airline equipment lease and paid the rent
due on that date of $847,000 along with the termination value of $780,000 plus
the $1 purchase option.


NOTE 7.  OPERATING LEASE

The Partnership leases the Hotel to the Tenant pursuant to an agreement which
commenced on April 24, 1987, with an initial term of 25 years (the "Operating
Lease").  The lease may be renewed at the Tenant's option for five successive
periods of 10 years each.

Annual Rental is equal to the greater of Basic Rental or Owner's Priority, as
described below:

1. Basic Rental equals 85% of Operating Profit, as defined, until December 31,
   1993, and 80% thereafter.

2. Owner's Priority equals the greater of (i) $20 million plus debt service on
   certain additional debt to expand the Hotel ("Expansion Debt Service") or
   (ii) Debt Service, as defined. If there is a new mortgage (in an amount which
   exceeds the outstanding balance of the existing mortgage by at least
   $45,455,000), Owner's Priority will equal the greater of (i) $20 million plus
   Expansion Debt Service, (ii) Debt Service or (iii) the lesser of Debt Service
   on the new mortgage or $24 million plus Expansion Debt Service. In no event
   will Owner's Priority for any year exceed Operating Profit.

3. Additional Rental equals the cumulative amount by which Owner's Priority
   exceeds Basic Rental plus $268,000 and is recorded as a liability in the
   accompanying financial statements. If in any year Basic Rental exceeds
   Owner's Priority, Annual Rental will be reduced to equal Basic Rental minus
   the lower of (i) Additional Rental then outstanding or (ii) 25% of the amount
   by which Basic Rental exceeds Owner's Priority.

Rental income for 1996 included Basic Rental of $16,836,000 and Additional
Rental of $3,164,000.  Operating Profit in 1996 totaled $21,045,000.  In
accordance with the lease agreement, the Partnership was entitled to receive
Owner's Priority of $20,000,000 and MII was entitled to the remaining
$1,045,000.

Pursuant to an agreement reached with MII, for fiscal year 1997 the $20 million
Owner's Priority will be increased to $20.5 million.  MII will be entitled only
to the next $2 million of Operating Profit.  Any additional Operating Profit in
excess of $22.5 million will be remitted entirely to the Partnership as
additional rent.  MII has also agreed once the long-term refinancing with
Goldman Sachs is consummated, Owner's Priority will be increased to $21.5
million and MII will be entitled only to the next $1.8 million of Operating
Profit.  Any additional Operating Profit in excess of $23.3 million will be
shared 75% to the Partnership and 25% to MII.  In connection with and
concurrently with the consummation of the long-term financing in 1997, MII
agreed to waive any and all claims to Additional Rental that have accrued prior
to the consummation of such loan.

                                      27
<PAGE>
 
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition to the Annual Rental, the Tenant is required to pay property taxes,
make annual contributions equal to a percentage of Hotel sales to a property
improvement fund (4.5% through 1997 and 5.5% thereafter) and pay rental on the
second golf course.

Pursuant to the terms of the Hotel purchase agreement, the Tenant and its
affiliates may utilize a portion of the land adjacent to the Hotel for
development of residences and timeshare condominiums.  Purchasers of the
residences have the opportunity to use certain Hotel facilities and services for
a fee.  Purchasers of the timeshare condominiums also have the ability to use
the Hotel's facilities but such use is subject to the same fees charged to Hotel
guests.

During 1995, the Hotel's main swimming pool was expanded at a cost of
approximately $2.1 million.  The project was funded partially by proceeds
received from Marriott Vacation Club International ("MVCI"), a wholly-owned
indirect subsidiary of MII, pursuant to an agreement between the Partnership and
MVCI for the development of additional timeshare units on land adjacent to the
Hotel.  As part of this agreement, the Hotel's spa was also expanded during
1994.  Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, MVCI contributed a total of $1.3
million towards the pool expansion and the spa expansion projects; the remaining
costs were funded by Partnership cash reserves.  Amounts funded by MVCI in 1995
and 1994 were $692,000 and $623,000, respectively, and were included in "Other
Income" in the statement of operations.

ITEM 11.  MANAGEMENT RENUMERATION AND TRANSACTIONS

As noted in Item 10 above, the Partnership has no directors or officers nor does
it have any employees.  Under the Partnership Agreement, however, the General
Partner has the exclusive right to conduct the business and affairs of the
Partnership subject only to the Operating Lease described in Items 1 and 13.
The General Partner is required to devote to the Partnership such time as may be
necessary for the proper performance of its duties, but the officers and the
directors of the General Partner are not required to devote their full time to
the performance of such duties.  No officer or director of the General Partner
devotes a significant percentage of time to Partnership matters.  To the extent
that any officer or director does devote time to the Partnership, the General
Partner is entitled to reimbursement for the cost of providing such services.
Any such costs may include a charge for overhead, but without a profit to the
General Partner.  For the fiscal years ending December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994,
administrative expenses reimbursed to the General Partner totaled $250,000,
$67,000 and $124,000, respectively.  For information regarding all payments made
by the Partnership to Host Marriott and subsidiaries, see Item 13 "Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions."


ITEM 12.  SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

As of August 28, 1997 no person owned of record, or to the Partnership's

There are no Units owned by the executive officers and directors of the General
Partner, as a group.

The officers and directors of MII, as a group, own the following units:

                               Amount and Nature of        Percent

Limited Partnership Units               1 Unit               0.1%

There are no Units owned by individuals who are directors of both the General
Partner and MII.

ITEM 13.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

OPERATING LEASE AGREEMENT
- -------------------------

As described below, the Partnership is party to important ongoing agreements
with MII pursuant to which the Hotel is leased to MHSI.

Prior to October 8, 1993, MII was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Host Marriott,
which was then known as Marriott Corporation.  On October 8, 1993, Marriott
Corporation's operations were divided into two separate companies, Host Marriott
and MII.  MII now conducts its management business as a separate, publicly-
traded company and is not a parent or subsidiary of Host Marriott, although the
two corporations have various business and other relationships. In accordance 
with the terms of the Partnership Agreement, each of the agreements discussed 
below were entered into based upon the General Partner's belief that such 
agreements were fair to the Partnership and reflect commercially reasonable 
terms. However, as a result of the fact that the Hotel Operating Lease, Golf 
Course Lease and Homeowners Agreement described below were entered into at a 
time when the counter-party to each of these agreement was a subsidiary of Host 
Marriott (then known as Marriott Corporation), the General Partner has made no 
further investigation toward forming a belief as to whether these agreements 
were on terms at least as favorable as the Partnership would have been able to 
obtain from an independent third party. The General Partner believes that the 
terms of the Office Space Rental Agreement and Transaction with MCVI for Pool 
Facilities described below were on terms at least as favorable as the 
Partnership would have been able to obtain from an independent third party.

The Hotel Operating Lease

The Partnership entered into the Operating Lease with MHSI, a subsidiary of MII,
on April 23, 1987, to operate the Hotel.  The Operating Lease is for a term of
25 years from the opening of the hotel with renewal terms, at the option of
MHSI, of up to five additional 10-year periods.

The Hotel Operating Lease provides for the payment of the greater of Basic
Rental or Owner's Priority.  Basic Rental equals 80% of Operating Profit, as
defined.  Owner's Priority equals the greater of (i) $20 million plus debt
service on certain additional debt to expand the Hotel or (ii) debt service, as
defined.  (In no event will Owner's Priority for any year exceed Operating
Profit, as defined.)

The basis for computing the amounts paid pursuant to the Operating Lease is
expected to change in future periods.  Pursuant to an agreement reached with MII
on December 23, 1996, for fiscal year 1997, the $20 million Owner's Priority
will be increased to $20.5 million.  MII will be entitled only to the next $2
million of Operating Profit, as defined.  Any additional Operating Profit in
excess of $22.5 million will be remitted entirely to the Partnership as
Additional Rent.  MII has also agreed that once long-term refinancing of the
existing mortgage debt is consummated, Owner's Priority will be increased to
$21.5 million and MII will be entitled only to the next $1.8 million of
Operating Profit.  Any additional Operating Profit in excess of $23.3 million
will be shared 75% to the Partnership and 25% to MII.  In connection with and
concurrently with the consummation of the long-term financing in 1997, MII
agreed to waive any and all claims to Additional Rental, as defined, that have
accrued prior to the consummation of such loan.

For the operating lease years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 Basic
Rental was $16.8 million, $14.7 million and $12.9 million, respectively.

The Operating Lease provides that the Partnership may terminate the Operating
Lease and remove the Operating Tenant if the payments of Annual Rental in any
two of three consecutive fiscal years beginning with fiscal year 1991 are less
than $15 million.  The Operating Tenant may, however, prevent termination by
paying to the Partnership such amounts as are necessary to achieve the above
performance standards.  Annual Rental for the fiscal years ended December 31,
1991 was $15.9 million, December 31, 1992 was $15.5 million, December 31, 1993
was $14.2 million,

                                      31
<PAGE>
 
December 31, 1994 was $16.1 million, December 31, 1995 was $18.4 million and
December 31, 1996 was $20 million.

Golf Course Lease

The Second Golf Course is located near the Hotel on approximately 100 acres of
land and is leased to the Partnership by a subsidiary of MII.  The Second Golf
Course and related facilities are subleased by the Partnership to the Operating
Tenant pursuant to an operating lease with annual rental equal to $100,000.  The
term of the lease for the Second Golf Course expires on December 31, 2011, with
five 10-year renewal periods at the option of the Partnership.  Under the terms
of the lease for the Second Golf Course, the Partnership pays annual rent equal
to $100,000 and is responsible for all costs of operating and maintaining the
Second Golf Course.  Upon termination of the lease for the Second Golf Course,
the Second Golf Course and all facilities and improvements thereon will become
the property of Marriott's Desert Springs Development Corporation.  All costs of
operating and maintaining the course are deductions from gross revenues and all
revenues from operation of the course are items of gross revenues of the Hotel.

Homeowners Agreement

A subsidiary of MII, Marriott Vacation Club International, Inc. ("MVCI") has
been developing a portion of land adjacent to the golf courses for time shares.
The Partnership, MII, Marriott's Desert Springs Development Corporation and MVCI
entered into an Agreement (the "Homeowners Agreement") whereby it was agreed
that each purchaser of a time share unit will receive certain golf course and
other privileges (including preferred tee times at the golf courses equal to one
tee time per week per time share unit) at the Hotel.  Time share purchasers will
not pay membership fees, but rather will pay regular green fees for use of the
golf courses, and do not receive preferred tennis court times or free access to
the health spa.  Time share purchasers will have use of the latter facilities
and other Hotel facilities, if they are available, on the same basis as regular
Hotel guests and will pay the same fees as regular Hotel guests.

Office Space Rental Agreement

On January 27, 1995, the Partnership entered into an agreement with MVCI whereby
MVCI occupies the space of eleven guest rooms and built a Vacation Gallery.  The
initial term of the agreement is April 1, 1995 to March 31, 1999, with initial
annual rental of $150,000.  The annual rental may be increased in the second,
third and fourth year of the lease by the local area Consumer Price Index plus
1% subject to a maximum of 10%.  The annual rental for 1996 was $154,350.

Transaction With MVCI for Pool Facilities

During 1994 and 1995, the Hotel's spa and main swimming pool facilities were
expanded.  The total $580,000 for the spa expansion was funded entirely with
proceeds from MVCI pursuant to an agreement between the Partnership and MVCI for
the development of time share units on the land adjacent to the Hotel.  As part
of this agreement, MVCI also paid $692,000 toward the $2.1 million pool
expansion.  The remainder of the pool expansion was funded by the Partnership's
cash reserves.

                    Re:  Desert Springs Marriott Limited 
                         Partnership-Home Owners Agreement
                         ---------------------------------

Dear Sirs:

          Attached hereto is an agreement among Marriott Corporation, Marriott's
Desert Springs Development Corporation ("Development Corporation"), Desert
Springs Hotel Services and Desert Springs Marriott Limited Partnership
(collectively, the "Parties"). Said agreement (the "Homeowners Agreement") sets
forth the understandings among the Parties concerning Development Corporation's
ability to issue to purchasers of home sites, residences or time share units
next to Marriott's Desert Springs Resort & Spa (the "Hotel") rights to use
certain Hotel facilities and services under the terms and conditions set forth
therein. Such rights will allow the purchasers to use the Hotel's facilities in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the rights granted.

          Although the attached agreement represents the present understandings
between the Parties, it is not being executed today because the required consent
of the Lenders, as such term is defined in the Partnership's Private Placement
Memorandum dated March 20, 1987, has not as yet been obtained. Consequently, the
Homeowners Agreement may be
<PAGE>
 
amended to reflect further comments given to the Parties by the Lenders. The
Parties may also amend this agreement in their discretion. The undersigned
hereby represents, however, that there is no present intent to amend the
Agreement in any subtantative way from and after the date hereof.

                              Sincerely,

                              MARRIOTT CORPORATION

                                    ------- 

          WHEREAS, Marriott, through subsidiaries, has developed a hotel and a

<PAGE>
 
          NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the parties agree
as follows:

A.  Home Sites
    ----------
    1.   Owners of Home Sites. Each purchaser (each an "Owner" and collectively
         --------------------
"Owners") of a single-family home site near the Hotel, on land presently owned
by Marriott, Development Corporation or affiliates of Marriott, may be permitted
the use of Hotel facilities enumerated below if such Owners pay annual
membership fees (the "Membership Fees"). Such memberships shall be limited to
250 in the aggregate. Owners paying the Membership Fees shall, at the discretion
of the Hotel operator, receive the following revocable rights:

         (a)  at no cost other than payment of the Membership Fees, rights to
use certain roads and walkways between Hotel facilities and the home sites;

         (b)  availability of services to be provided by the Hotel including,
among others, housekeeping, room service, landscaping and telephone service, for
which such Owners will pay the Hotel an amount calculated to fully compensate
the Hotel for the cost of providing such services;

         (c)  at no cost other than payment of the Membership Fees, as
determined in the sole discretion of Hotel Services or any successor operator,
including the Partner-

                                      -3-
<PAGE>
 
ship, preferred tee times at the Golf Courses equal, in the aggregate, to an
amount not to exceed 20% of the tee times at each Golf Course each morning and
20% of the tee times at each Golf Course each afternoon;

         (d)  at no cost other than payment of the Membership Fees, preferred
court times at the Hotel's tennis facilities equal, in the aggregate, to an
amount not to exceed 20% of the total court times at the tennis facilities per
day;
          
         (e)  at no cost other than payment of the Membership Fees, use of (i)
the Golf Courses, without payment of green fees, and (ii) the Hotel's tennis
facilities, without payment for court times (however, such Owners will pay the
Hotel's standard fees for all related golf course and tennis facilities and
services such as golf cart rental, golf club rental, use of the practice range
and golf and tennis lessons);

         (f)  at no cost other than payment of the Membership Fees, free
admittance to the Hotel's health spa, although such Owners will pay for any
services offered by the spa which are charged to Hotel guests; and

         (g)  at no cost other than payment of the Membership Fees, the use of
Hotel facilities available to Hotel guests at no charge.

                                      -4-
<PAGE>
 
2.   Owners Who Don't Pay Membership Fees.  Owners who do not pay the Membership
     ------------------------------------
Fees will be extended the same use privileges for the Golf Courses and tennis
facilities as extended to Hotel guests at the same fee schedules (such Owners
will not be allowed free access to the Hotel's spa).

3.   Guests and Tenants of Owners.  Guests and tenants of Owners who pay
     ----------------------------
Membership Fees will be extended the same use privileges and fee schedules as
Owners who do not pay Membership Fees. All such guests must be accompanied by
Owners who pay Membership Fees and all such tenant use must be prearranged by
the Owner from whom the tenant rents the home. Guests and tenants of Owners who
do not pay Membership Fees will be extended the same use privileges and fee
schedules as non-Hotel guests .

4.   Membership.  The Membership Fee shall be at least $2,500 per year
     ----------
determined by and payable to Hotel Services or any successor operator, including
the Partnership, as adjusted by the Consumer Price Index, payable on January 1st
of each year (the first year of membership will be prorated according to the
number of days of membership for that calendar year). "Consumer Price Index"
means the most recent Consumer Price Index for All Consumers for the United
States, prepared and published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the
Department of Labor of the United States (or any comparable index,

                                      -5-
<PAGE>
 
selected by Hotel Services or any successor operator, in its reasonable
discretion, then prepared and published by a United States government agency, if
the aforesaid Consumer Price Index is not at that time so prepared and
published), appropriately adjusted for changes in the manner in which such Index
is prepared and/or the year on which such Index is based. A business
organization which is an Owner may purchase one membership for each home site
purchased. Three persons may be designated by such business organization as
users of the membership, only two of whom may use the membership simultaneously.
A business organization Owner which purchases a membership may revise its list
of designees not more than once every sixty days. An individual, husband and
wife or family which is an Owner may purchase one membership and will be
extended all use privileges and fee schedules of the Owner. A "family member"
will include husband, wife and children under the age of 21 maintaining
residence with their parents.

5.   Identification Arrangement.  The Hotel, through Hotel Services or any
     --------------------------
successor operator, including the Partnership, may establish an arrangement for
the identification of users of Hotel facilities, other Owners and other persons
using the Hotel facilities.

                                      -6-
<PAGE>
 
B.   Time Share, Vacation Ownership and Other Residences 
     ---------------------------------------------------
           Marriott or affiliates of Marriott may develop time share, vacation
ownership or other residences on land near the Hotel presently owned by Marriott
or affiliates of Marriott. Each time share unit, vacation ownership unit or
other residence would receive one preferred tee time per week per unit at the
Golf Courses. However, the owner of such unit or other residence ("Unit Owner")
would pay regular green fees and other fees for use of the Golf Courses. Unlike
Owners who pay Membership Fees, Unit Owners would not pay Membership Fees, but
rather would pay for the use of all other Hotel facilities on the same basis as
regular Hotel guests and have the same use privileges (other than use of the
Golf Courses) as regular Hotel guests (with the exception of the one preferred
tee time per week).

C.   Golf Courses Restrictions
     -------------------------
          The Partnership, Hotel Services or a successor operator shall be
permitted to close the Hotel's golf courses for maintenance or for any other
reason under the following circumstances:

     1.   The golf course owned by the Partnership may be closed at any time,

     2.1   Agreement to Lend and Borrow.
           -----------------------------
                  
     (a)   Each Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth
in this Agreement and, in the case of Credit Lyonnais, as limited by the
provisions of Section 2.1(d) hereof, to lend to the Borrower, and the Borrower
hereby agrees to borrow from the Lenders, the principal amount of the Series A
Note and the Series B Note made payable to each such Lender (the obligation to
lend such amount for any one Lender being herein referred to as its "Loan
Commitment" and, for all Lenders, their "Loan Commitments").  Each Lender shall
disburse its entire Pro Rata Share of the Loans upon the satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in this Agreement.

     (b)   The proceeds of the Loans shall be used by the Borrower solely for
repayment of the outstanding principal balance and all accrued and unpaid
interest under that certain loan made by the Lenders (other than Credit
Lyonnais, Cayman Island Branch) and the Bank of Nova Scotia to the Borrower
pursuant to the Original Loan Agreement, for payment of the Arrangement Fee and
the Loan Fee, for payment of other costs and expenses provided to be paid by the
Borrower hereunder, for Borrower's working capital purposes, and for no other
purpose.

     (c)   To evidence the Loans, the Borrower shall execute and deliver the 
Notes.
     
     (d)   Each of the Series A and Series B Promissory Notes made payable to
Credit Lyonnais, New York Branch and Credit Lyonnais, Cayman Island Branch shall
be in a principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Series A
Loan or the Series B Loan (whichever is applicable) from both Credit

<PAGE>
 
Lyonnais, New York Branch and Credit Lyonnais, Cayman Island Branch.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.1(a) hereof, the
Loan Commitment of Credit Lyonnais shall be equal to $48,857,142.85, and the
aggregate principal amount due under the Series A Notes and Series B Notes
payable to Credit Lyonnais, New York Branch and Credit Lyonnais, Cayman Island
Branch shall never exceed $48,857,142.85.

     2.2   Payment at Maturity Date.  The entire outstanding principal balance
           ------------------------
of the Loans, all accrued and unpaid interest and any other amounts due and
owing the Lenders hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall be paid in
full, if not sooner paid, on the Maturity Date.

     2.3   Application of Payments.
           -----------------------
                            
     (a)   Any amounts received by the Lenders (including, without limitation,
voluntary prepayments, the proceeds of collateral representing amounts received
on foreclosure or any credit to be given against the Loans in consideration of a
deed in lieu of foreclosure, condemnation awards, amounts received in
consideration of a conveyance in lieu of condemnation, insurance payments
received as a consequence of a fire or other casualty or amounts received upon
the sale or other disposition of collateral or received or derived from any
other source) for the payment or prepayment of the Loans for which a priority of
application is not provided elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents shall be applied, notwithstanding any direction to the contrary by the
Borrower or any other Person, in the following order of priority:

     First:  Payment of the principal of or interest on the Series A Notes,
until such time as the principal of and interest on the Series A Notes shall
have been paid in full; and

                                      -30-
<PAGE>
 
     Second:  Payment of the principal of or interest on the Series B Notes.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Lenders or the Agent receives any
payment of principal or interest on the Series B Notes for which Marriott or the
General Partner is entitled to credit under the Guaranties against the maximum
amount it may be called upon to pay in respect of the "Payment Obligations"
thereunder and such payment is received by the Lenders or the Agent prior to the
giving of notice by the Agent of the election by the Lenders to declare the
Loans, or any of them, due and payable following the occurrence of any Event of
Default, such payment so received by the Lenders or the Agent shall be applied
to principal of or interest on the Series B Notes.

     (b)   Anything in this Section 2.3 or elsewhere in this Agreement or any
other of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, if in the opinion
of counsel to the Agent or counsel to the Lenders the application and allocation
of payments and proceeds in accordance with the priorities established by
Section 2.3(a) contravenes any provision of applicable state or federal law or
the direction of any court having jurisdiction, then such application and
allocation may instead be made in such order of priority as the Lenders in their
election shall determine.

     2.4   Method of Selecting Rate Options and Interest Periods.
           -----------------------------------------------------

     (a)   The Borrower shall select the Rate Options and Interest Periods
applicable to each Borrowing from time to time by giving a Borrowing Notice to
the Agent in not less than the

                                      -31-
<PAGE>
 
Minimum Notice Period applicable to the Rate Option selected; provided, however,
                                                              --------  -------
that the Borrower may not give a Borrowing Notice selecting a Fixed Treasury
Rate unless the Borrower has heretofore given the Agent a notice of the
Borrower's intent to select a Fixed Treasury Rate, and been advised of such
Fixed Treasury Rate by the Agent, as provided in Section 2.4(b).

     (b)   No later than 2:00 p.m. (Chicago, Illinois time) three Business Days
prior to the intended Effective Date of an intended Fixed Treasury Rate
Borrowing, the Borrower shall give the Agent notice of the Borrower's intent to
select a Fixed Treasury Rate, which notice should specify the intended amount of
such Fixed Treasury Rate Borrowing, the intended Treasury Rate Interest Period
applicable thereto and the intended Effective Date thereof.  No later than 10:30
a.m. (Chicago, Illinois time) two Business Days prior to the intended Effective
Date specified in the notice from the Borrower indicating its intent to select a
Fixed Treasury Rate, the Agent shall, by written, telex or telephone notice,
advise the Borrower and each of the Lenders of the Fixed Treasury Rate that
would be applicable to the proposed Fixed Treasury Rate Borrowing specified in
the notice from the Borrower.  The Borrower, by written, telex or telephone
notice given by an Authorized Representative, may give a Borrowing Notice to the
Agent in not less than the Minimum Notice Period indicating the Borrower's
selection of such Fixed Treasury Rate Borrowing in the amount, for the Treasury
Rate Interest Period and effective as of the Effective Date, all as specified in
the Borrower's aforesaid notice of intent, which Fixed Treasury Rate Borrowing
shall bear interest at the Fixed Treasury Rate specified by the Agent by notice
given pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.  If the Borrower fails to
give such Borrowing Notice within such Minimum Notice Period, the Borrower may
not select a Fixed Treasury Rate Borrowing without again giving a notice of
intent and (upon receipt of a notice

                                      -32-
<PAGE>
 
from the Agent of the applicable Fixed Treasury Rate) a Borrowing Notice with
respect thereto in accordance with this Section 2.4.

     (c)   The unpaid principal amount of each Fixed Rate Borrowing shall bear
interest at the applicable Rate Option from and including the first day of the
Interest Period therefor to, but not including, the last day of such Interest
Period. Floating Rate Borrowings shall bear interest at the Floating Rate from
the Effective Date thereof, and the Floating Rate shall change when and as the
Corporate Base Rate changes.  If the Borrower fails to give a Borrowing Notice
selecting a Rate Option in accordance with the provisions hereof, then the
Borrowing shall constitute a Floating Rate Borrowing.

     2.5   No Default.  The Borrower shall not be entitled to select a Fixed
           ----------
Rate if, on the Effective Date thereof, there exists an Event of Default.

     2.6   Minimum Requirements.  Each Fixed Rate Borrowing shall be in
           --------------------
integral multiples of $1,000,000.00 and in the minimum amount of $25,000,000.00.
Solely for purposes of satisfying the requirements of the preceding sentence,
amounts of Loan A and Loan B may be aggregated.

     2.7   Method of Borrowing.  Not later than 1:00 p.m. (Chicago, Illinois
           -------------------
time) on the date of Closing, each Lender shall make available its Pro Rata
Share of the Loans in funds immediately available to the Agent at its address
specified in or pursuant to Section 2.16.  Each Lender shall be permitted to
offset against any deposit with the Agent required by the preceding sentence all
principal and interest due and owing to that Lender under the Original Loan
Agreement.  On the date of

                                      -33-
<PAGE>
 
Closing, the Agent will make the funds so received from the Lenders available to
the Borrower at the Agent's aforesaid address.

     2.8   Interest Payments. Interest accrued on Floating Rate Borrowings shall
           -----------------
be payable in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date. Interest accrued on Fixed
Rate Borrowings shall be payable in arrears on the last day of the applicable
Interest Period, except that, where the Interest Period exceeds three months,
interest shall be paid on each Quarterly Payment Date from the Effective Date
relating thereto and on the last day of the applicable Interest Period. Interest
shall be payable for the day a Borrowing is made but not for the day of any
payment if payment is made in accordance herewith and is received by the Agent
prior to the time, and at the place, provided in Section 2.16 hereof. Interest
shall not begin accruing hereunder until the day on which the first Borrowing is
made.

     2.9   Prepayment.  Upon not less than 30 days' prior written notice given
           ----------
by an Authorized Representative to all of the Lenders, the Borrower may (except
as hereinafter provided with respect to Fixed Rate Borrowings) pay all, or in a
minimum amount of $1,000,000.00, pay from time to time any part, of the
principal of the Loans at any time outstanding by paying, in addition to the
principal amount of such prepayment, all interest accrued on the amount of such
prepayment to the date thereof. All prepayments shall be applied in the order of
the priorities set forth in Section 2.3.  Fixed Rate Borrowings may be prepaid
prior to the last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether by reason of
acceleration of the Maturity Date pursuant to the Loan Documents or otherwise,
if and only if, the Borrower shall at the time of such prepayment pay the
amounts required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.11.

                                      -34-

     2.10  Lendinq Installations. Each Lender may book each Fixed Rate Borrowing
           ---------------------
at any Lending Installation of such Lender selected by it from time to time and
may change the Lending Installation from time to time. All terms of this
Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation. If, prior to the date
that a Lender books a Fixed Rate Borrowing at a particular Lending Installation,
the Lender has knowledge of any taxes referred to in Section 2.12 hereof or any
sums provided for in Section 2.13 hereof that would be payable by the Borrower
by reason of the Lender's booking such Fixed Rate Borrowing at such Lending
Installation that would not be payable by the Borrower if such Fixed Rate
Borrowing were booked at an alternative Lending Installation at which the Lender
may lawfully book such Fixed Rate Borrowing without otherwise incurring, in its
reasonable judgment, material liabilities, obligations or risks, then,
notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 2.12 and 2.13, the Borrower's
obligations to such Lender under such Sections with respect to such Fixed Rate
Borrowing shall be limited to the amount that the Borrower would have incurred
under such Sections had the Lender booked such Fixed Rate Borrowing at such
alternative Lending Installation.

     2.11  Funding Indemnification.
           -----------------------

     (a)   The Borrower acknowledges that in reliance on the Borrower's promise
to pay a fixed rate of interest throughout the Interest Period applicable to a
Fixed Rate Borrowing, deposits may be employed and transactions or undertakings
entered into (including, without limitation, interest rate swaps) to provide
funds for such Fixed Rate Borrowing.  Upon acceleration or prepayment of a Fixed
Rate Borrowing or if a Fixed Rate Borrowing is not made on the date specified in
a Borrowing Notice for any reason other than a default by the Lenders, certain
losses, costs and expenses may be incurred by the Lenders as a consequence of

                                      -35-
<PAGE>
 
the Borrower's failure to pay a fixed rate of interest throughout the applicable
Interest Period, including, but not limited to, certain losses, costs and
expenses of redeploying or liquidating deposits and terminating or hedging
transactions.  Accordingly, if any payment of a Fixed Rate Borrowing occurs or
becomes due on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest
Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, or if a Fixed
Rate Borrowing is not made on the date specified by the Borrower for any reason
other than default by the Lenders, the Borrower will pay to the Agent for the
account of each Lender an amount equal to the Break Cost for such Fixed Rate
Borrowing, which shall be due and payable ten (10) days after the date on which
the Agent notifies the Borrower of the amount of such Break Cost.  When the
Agent receives payment from the Borrower of the Break Cost, the Agent shall
distribute the Break Cost among the Lenders according to their Pro Rata Share of
the Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and to the extent that any payment
of a Fixed Rate Borrowing occurs or becomes due on a date which is not the last
day of the applicable Interest Period solely as a result of the Borrower's
compliance with the requirements of Section 10.2(f) hereof, the Borrower will
not be obligated to pay the Break Cost.

     (b)   On, or as soon as practicable after, the Break Date, the Agent will
calculate the Break Cost and provide the Borrower and the Lenders with a
reasonably detailed statement showing such calculation (including all relevant
quotations), which shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower absent
manifest error.

     (c)   The parties agree that the Break Cost, if any, payable hereunder is
a reasonable estimate of the losses referred to in clause (a) above and not a
penalty, is payable for loss of bargain and protection against future risks,
and, as long as the

                                      -36-
<PAGE>
 
Break Cost is determinable and enforceable in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement, the Lenders shall not be entitled to recover any other damages
as a consequence of such losses.  In the event the Break Cost cannot be
determined hereunder after reasonable efforts, or is determined to be
unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the Borrower will indemnify
each Lender upon demand for any and all losses, costs and expenses incurred in
redeploying or liquidating deposits and terminating or hedging transactions.

     (d)   The obligations of the Borrower under this Section are continuing
obligations and shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the payment
in full of the principal of and interest on Fixed Rate Borrowings.

     2.12  Taxes.
           -----     
        
     (a)   In the event the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct and
withhold any taxes (as hereinafter defined) from amounts payable hereunder, the
Borrower shall be entitled to do so, provided it shall provide a statement
setting forth the amount of taxes withheld, the applicable rate and any other
information which may reasonably be requested for the purpose of assisting the
Lender from whom taxes were withheld to obtain any allowable credits or
deductions for the taxes so withheld in each jurisdiction in which the Lender is
subject to tax.  The Borrower shall not, however, withhold taxes from payments
required to be made to any Lender that is a corporation organized under the laws
of the United States or any state or territory thereof or is permitted by law to
file and keep in effect and has on file and in effect with the Borrower such
duly executed form(s) or statement(s) which may, from time to time, be
prescribed by law and which, pursuant to applicable provisions of (i) an income
tax treaty between the United States and the country of residence of

                                      -37-
<PAGE>
 
such Lender, (ii) the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or (iii)
any applicable rules or regulations, permit the Borrower to make such payments
free of withholding. The term "taxes" shall mean any taxes, levies, imports,
duties, fees, assessments or other charges of whatever nature, now or hereafter
imposed on any Lender by any jurisdiction or by any department, agency, state or
other political subdivision thereof or therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Borrower agrees to make to any Lender, with respect to which the Borrower
has withheld taxes pursuant to the foregoing, such payments as may be necessary
to insure that such Lender receives the full amount payable to it by the
Borrower under this Agreement if the foregoing provisions of this subsection (a)
are disregarded; provided, however, that the Borrower's obligations under this
                 --------  -------
sentence shall not apply with respect to any Lender that is not an original
party to this Agreement and that, by reason of the jurisdiction of its formation
or incorporation or of its applicable Lending Installation, would subject the
Borrower to obligations to make payments under this sentence in excess of those
applicable with respect to the Lenders that are original parties to this
Agreement. All stamp, documentary and intangible taxes shall be paid by the
Borrower. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender pays any such taxes, the
Borrower will reimburse such Lender for the amount paid if, as and to the extent
such reimbursement is permitted by applicable law. The Borrower will furnish to
the Lenders official tax receipts or other evidence of payment of all such
taxes.

     (b)   If the Borrower shall be required to make any payment to a Lender
under this Section 2.12 and if the Lender is able, in its sole opinion, to claim
any deduction, credit or similar tax benefit by reason of such payment, such
Lender will promptly reimburse the Borrower for the amount of such benefit. As
and to the extent that the Borrower may be able to mitigate or

                                      -38-
<PAGE>
 
reduce the amount of any such payments under the provisions of any treaty, law
or other governmental regulation, the Lenders will render, at the expense of the
Borrower, whatever reasonable assistance may be required to effect such
mitigation or reduced payment.

     2.13  Yield Protection.
           ----------------

     (a)   In the event any law or any governmental rule, regulation, policy or
directive having the force of law, or any interpretation thereof (collectively,
"Bank Regulatory Requirement"), or compliance of any Lender with such Bank
Regulatory Requirement:

     (i)   imposes or increases or deems applicable with respect to the making,
  funding or maintaining of any Loan hereunder any reserve, assessment,
  insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of,
  deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any
  applicable Lending Installation (other than reserves and assessments taken
  into account in determining the interest rate applicable to any Fixed Rate
  Borrowing); or

     (ii)  imposes any other condition (excluding (A) taxes payable by the
  Borrower under Section 2.12; (B) taxes imposed on or measured by net income or
  alternative minimum taxable income or taxable assets in lieu of income by the
  jurisdiction of incorporation of each Lender, each taxing jurisdiction
  therein, and the United States; (C) taxes imposed on any Lender pursuant to
  Section 884 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986; and (D) taxes imposed on any
  Lender to the extent the tax would have been imposed if the Lender had not

                                      -39-
<PAGE>
 
  engaged in the transaction contemplated by this Agreement), the result of
  which is to increase the cost to any Lender or any applicable Lending
  Installation of making, funding or maintaining any Loan hereunder or to reduce
  any amount receivable by any Lender or applicable Lending Installation in
  connection with any Loan hereunder, or requires any Lender or any applicable
  Lending Installation to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount
  of any Loan hereunder held or interest received by it, by an amount deemed
  material by such Lender; or

     (iii) affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained
  by any Lender or any corporation controlling any Lender with respect to the
  making, funding or maintaining of any Loan or its Loan Commitment hereunder
  and such Lender determines the amount of capital required is increased by or
  based upon the existence of this Agreement or its Loan Commitment hereunder;

then, in any of such events, the Borrower shall pay, without duplication, to
such Lender that portion of such increased expense incurred or reduction in an
amount received (collectively, "Yield Protection Amounts") which such Lender
determines is attributable to making, funding and maintaining its interests in
the Loan or its Loan Commitment. The Borrower shall pay any Yield Protection
Amount within thirty (30) days after the effective date of a notice therefor (a
"Yield Protection Notice") from a Lender briefly describing the Bank Regulatory
Requirement as a result of which such Yield Protection Amount is due and showing
the aggregate amounts by category of Yield Protection Amounts (1) currently
payable for which payment is then being first requested, and (2) if not contrary
to any law or policy of such

Lender concerning such disclosure, contemplated to be payable during the period
of twenty-four (24) consecutive months following the date of such notice,
calculated on the assumption that Yield Protection Amounts for which
compensation is then being sought will continue to be compensable under this
Section 2.13(a) as then contemplated during such 24-month period; provided,
                                                                  --------
however, that such estimates shall not be binding on any Lender.  The Borrower
- -------
shall have no obligation to pay any Lender any Yield Protection Amounts under
clauses (i) and (ii) above that accrue or shall have accrued more than thirty
(30) days prior to the effective date of the initial Yield Protection Notice
from such Lender with respect to such Bank Regulatory Requirement, except if
such Bank Regulatory Requirement shall have an effective date earlier than its
promulgation and such Lender shall give such initial Yield Protection Notice
within thirty (30) days of such promulgation.  The Borrower shall have no
obligation to pay any Lender any Yield Protection Amounts under clause (iii)
above that accrue or shall have accrued more than thirty (30) days prior to the
effective date of the initial Yield Protection Notice from such Lender with
respect to such Bank Regulatory Requirement.

     (b)   Each Lender will use reasonable efforts, consistent with bank
policies and procedures, in an attempt to minimize or eliminate the obligation
of the Borrower to pay further Yield Protection Amounts by booking Borrowings in
a different Lending Installation or taking other reasonable and appropriate
actions; provided, however, that no Lender or Lending Installation will be
         --------  -------
obligated to suffer or incur any economic, financial or regulatory costs,
expenses or other disadvantages whatsoever by reason of their obligation
contained in this Section 2.13(b).

     2.14  Certificates; Survival of Indemnity.  A certificate of a Lender as
           -----------------------------------
to the amount due under Sections 2.11, 2.12 or 2.13 hereof shall be conclusively
presumed to be correct in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower shall
pay such Lender all amounts specified in such certificate.  Such Lender will, on
request, provide evidence supporting said certificate. Determination of amounts
payable under such Sections in connection with a Fixed Rate Borrowing shall be
calculated (to the extent that such calculation is applicable to the
determination of the amounts payable) as though the Lender funded its Pro Rata
Share of the actual or anticipated Fixed Rate Borrowing through the purchase of
a deposit of the type, maturity and amount corresponding to the deposit used as
a reference in determining the Fixed Rate applicable to the Borrowing.  Unless
otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the certificate shall be
payable within thirty (30) days of demand by such Lender, which demand shall
include such certificate if such certificate was not theretofore delivered to
the Borrower.  The obligations under Sections 2.11, 2.12 and 2.13 hereof shall
survive payment of the Loan and termination of this Agreement.

           ------------------   
Borrowings based on telephonic Borrowing Notices, or notices of intent given
under Section 2.4(b) hereof, made by any Person the Lenders or the Agent in good
faith believes to be an Authorized Representative acting on behalf of the
Borrower.  If requested by the Agent, the Borrower agrees to confirm promptly to
the Agent any telephonic Borrowing Notice or notice of intent given under
Section 2.4(b), in writing signed by an Authorized Representative.  If the
written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by
the Lenders, the records of the Lenders shall govern, absent manifest error.

any other sums due under the Loan Documents and performance of Borrower's
obligations under the Loan Documents and (except as otherwise provided in the
Loan Documents) shall not seek recovery, whether by direct suit, deficiency
judgment in foreclosure proceeding, or otherwise, in whole or in part, from any
of the partners (general or limited) of the Borrower or from any of the assets
of any such partners; provided, however, that the foregoing exculpation from
individual liability shall not be construed to release or impair the
Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes or any of the Borrower's other obligations
hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, or the Liens securing such
obligations, or the obligations of Marriott or the General Partner under the
Guaranties or the Environmental Indemnity Agreement of Marriott or any other
rights of the Lenders.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall be
fully liable (a) for fraud or material misrepresentation in any Loan Document or
in any written communication by the Borrower in connection with the Loans; (b)

collect such rental income or other income or exercise their rights under the
Loan Documents (to the full extent of the rental income or other income retained
after the giving of any such notice); and (c) for the misapplication of (i)
proceeds paid prior to any such foreclosure under any insurance policies by
reason of damage, loss or destruction to any portion of the Property or the

resulting from the condemnation, prior to any such foreclosure, of all of any

payment of expenses due or payable by the Borrower in obtaining the Loans,
including, without limitation, expenses relating to the examination of the title
and title insurance, costs of surveys, reasonable fees and expenses of the
Lenders' counsel, documentary stamps, intangible taxes, mortgage taxes and other
similar taxes, recording fees and taxes, sums payable for insurance premiums,
amounts necessary to discharge any encumbrance, tax, assessment or other charge
or Lien upon the Property, as well as the Arrangement Fee and the Loan Fee.  The
amounts so applied by the Lenders shall be deemed advances of the Loans to the
Borrower under this Agreement, shall satisfy pro tanto the obligations of the
                                             ---------

continuance of an Event of Default, the Lenders, acting through the Agent, may

Borrower's obligations set forth in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan
Documents and (ii) for any other costs or expenses incurred by the Borrower or
the Lenders in connection with the Loans, and the execution of this Agreement by
the Borrower shall, and hereby does, constitute an irrevocable power of
attorney, direction and authorization to the Lenders so to disburse such funds.
No further direction or authorization from the Borrower shall be necessary for
such disbursements, and all such disbursements shall be secured by the Deed of
Trust and each of the other Loan Documents as fully as if made to Borrower,
regardless of the disposition of the funds so disbursed.  Such advances shall

hereafter in effect; or there shall be commenced against the Borrower, the
Operating Tenant or the General Partner any such proceeding which shall remain
undismissed for a period of sixty (6O) days or more, or the Borrower, the
Operating Tenant or the General Partner shall by any act or failure to act
indicate its consent to, approval of or acquiescence in, any such proceeding or
in the appointment of any receiver, custodian, liquidator or trustee of or for
it or any substantial part of its property or other assets, or shall suffer any

continue undischarged or unstayed for a period of sixty (60) days or more; or
the Borrower, the Operating Tenant or the General Partner shall take any action
for the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing; or

     (g)  Any order, judgment or decree shall be entered in any proceeding

Equipment) of the Borrower, the Operating Tenant or the General Partner, and
such order, judgment or decree shall remain undischarged or unstayed for a
period in excess of sixty (60) days; provided, however, that the split-up, or
                                     --------  -------
the divestiture of the assets, of Marriott shall not constitute an Event of
Default if, following such occurrence, Marriott continues to own and operate
substantially all of its hotel business in substantially the same manner as
prior to such occurrence; or

     (h)  Final judgment for the payment of money in excess of $1,000,000.00
shall be rendered by a court of record against the Borrower, the Operating
Tenant or the General Partner and the Borrower, the Operating Tenant or the

accordance with its terms, or procure a stay of execution thereof within thirty

     (j)  If an "Event of Default" (as defined therein) shall occur and be
continuing under either or both of the Guaranties; or

     (k)  If there shall occur and be continuing a default, deemed by the Agent
or the Required Percentage of the Lenders to be material, in the observance or
performance by either party of its covenants, agreements or obligations under
the Operating Lease, the Golf Course Lease or the Purchase Agreement and such
default is not cured within any applicable notice and/or grace period provided
in such lease or agreement or if either party to any such lease or agreement
shall, without the prior consent of the Lenders, terminate or seek to terminate
any such lease or agreement, except as otherwise permitted in the Loan
Documents; or

     (l)  Any default or event of default shall have occurred under any other
Loan Document or any event, act or condition shall have occurred which under the
provisions of any Loan Document has the effect of accelerating the stated
maturity of the Loans or permits the Lenders to cause the Loans to become due
prior to their stated maturity;

then, if any event described in any subsection of this Section 8.1 shall have
occurred, and at any time thereafter, if any such event shall then be
continuing, the Agent, upon the direction of a Required Percentage of the
Lenders, shall take any one or more of the following actions:

     (i)  declare the principal of and accrued interest on the Notes, or on any
other notes or evidences of Indebtedness of the Borrower then held by the
Lenders or any of them, to be due and payable, both as to principal and
interest, without

                                      -91-
<PAGE>
 
presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which, to the
extent permitted by law, are hereby expressly waived, anything contained herein
or in any Note or in such other note or evidence of Indebtedness to the contrary
notwithstanding; or

     (ii)  declare the Loan Commitments terminated immediately; or

     (iii)  enter upon, take possession of, and use the Property and all parts
thereof and all FF&E, material, equipment and supplies thereon and elsewhere
which were ordered for or appropriated to the operation of the Property, and do
anything which is necessary or desirable to fulfill, pay, settle or compromise
the obligations of Borrower hereunder. All sums paid or incurred for the
operation of the Property pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph or
otherwise, and all other payments made or liabilities incurred by the Lenders
hereunder of any kind whatsoever, shall bear interest from the date of payment
or incurrence at the Legal Rate and such amounts, including interest, shall be
deemed and shall constitute advances under this Agreement. The Lenders and their
designees, representatives, agents, licensees and contractors shall be entitled
to such entry, possession and use without the consent of any party and without
any legal process or other condition precedent whatsoever, and the Borrower
acknowledges that any denial of such entry, possession and use by the Lenders
will cause irreparable injury and damages to the Lenders.

     8.2  Suits for Enforcement.  Subject to the provisions of Section 2.21
          ---------------------
hereof, in case any one or more of such Events of Default shall occur and be
continuing, the Lenders may proceed, to the extent permitted by law, to protect
and enforce their rights either by suit in equity or by action at law, or both,

                                      -92-
<PAGE>
 
whether for the specific performance of any covenant, condition or agreement
contained in this Agreement or the Notes or in aid of the exercise of any power
granted in this Agreement or the Notes, or proceed to enforce the payment of the
Notes or to enforce any other legal or equitable right of the Lenders.

     8.3  Remedies Cumulative.  Subject to the provisions of Section 2.21
          -------------------
hereof, no right or remedy herein or in any other agreement or instrument
conferred upon the Lenders, the Agent, or the holders of the Notes is intended
to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and each and every such right or
remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right and
remedy given hereunder or under any Loan Document or now or hereafter existing
at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, if any Note or any of the other obligations of the Borrower to
the Lenders shall not be paid when due, whether at the stated maturity thereof,
by acceleration or otherwise, the Lenders shall not be required to resort to any
particular security, right or remedy or to proceed in any particular order of
priority, and the Lenders shall have the right at any time and from time to
time, in any manner and in any order, to enforce their security interests,
Liens, rights and remedies, or any of them, as the Lenders deem appropriate in
the circumstances and apply the proceeds of their collateral to the obligations
of the Borrower.

     8.4  TWA Default.  The Borrower and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that 
          -----------
a default by TWA in the performance of its obligations under the Equipment Lease
is not an Event of Default hereunder.

                                      -93-

9.  THE AGENT.

     9.1  Appointment of the Agent.  The Lenders hereby irrevocably designate
          ------------------------
FNBC as their Agent to act as herein specified, and FNBC hereby accepts such
designation and agrees to act as Agent as herein specified.  Each Lender hereby
irrevocably authorizes, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance of such
note shall be deemed to have irrevocably authorized, the Agent to take such
actions on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement, the Notes and the
other Loan Documents:

     (a) to receive Borrowing Notices and to determine and quote interest
rates in accordance with Article 2;

     (b) to remit to each Lender on the day received by the Agent (unless
received too late to permit remittance on such day, in which event the Agent
shall remit on the next Business Day) each Lender's Pro Rata Share of any
payment of principal, interest or the Loan Fee paid to the Agent;

     (c) to make demand under the Loan Documents for payment of amounts due
thereunder and performance of obligations thereunder;

     (d) to give notices on behalf of the Lenders under this Agreement and the
Loan Documents as directed by the Lenders in accordance with the provisions
hereof or as the Agent otherwise deems appropriate;

     (e) to execute and deliver, where required, and to hold, on behalf of the
Lenders, the Deed of Trust, the Security Agreement, the Guaranties and the other
Loan Documents and to hold insurance policies given in respect of property
covered by

                                     -94-
<PAGE>
 
the Deed of Trust and the Security Agreement, and other instruments given in
connection with the Loan Documents;

     (f) to execute and deliver the release of land provided for in the Golf
Course Lease Assignment and the release provided for in Section 10.3 and to
consent to the Homeowners Agreement pursuant to Section 6.13; provided, however,
                                                              --------  -------
that if the Homeowners Agreement consists of several separate agreements,
consent by the Agent to one such agreement shall not be deemed to be consent to
all such agreements;

     (g) to supervise the management, rental and/or operation of the Property if
the Lenders have obtained possession and control as a result of enforcement of
the Deed of Trust or any other Loan Documents; and

     (h) to exercise such powers under the Loan Documents and other documents
provided for or contemplated by this Agreement or any Loan Document as are
specifically delegated to the Agent by the terms thereof and such other powers
as are reasonably incidental thereto.

The Agent may perform any of their duties hereunder by or through its agents,
representatives, or employees.

     9.2  Agent's Rights and Liabilities.
          ------------------------------

     (a)  In the event the Agent shall suffer or incur any costs, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, expenses or liabilities as a result of the
performance of its duties hereunder or in respect of any of the Loan Documents
or any transaction contemplated hereby not arising from its gross negligence or
willful misconduct, then, to the extent the Borrower shall fail to reimburse the
Agent, the Lenders will

                                      -95-
<PAGE>
 
reimburse and indemnify the Agent, in the proportion of each respective Lender's
Pro Rata Share, from and against any such costs, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, expenses and liabilities.  If, after the Lenders have reimbursed and
indemnified the Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Borrower shall
reimburse the Agent or the Agent shall otherwise recover from the Borrower or
any other party obligated to reimburse the Agent on behalf of the Borrower, then
the Agent agrees to reimburse the Lenders in the proportion of each respective
Lender's Pro Rata Share to the extent that the Borrower has so reimbursed the
Agent.

     (b) Neither the Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees,
representatives, or agents shall be liable for any action taken or omitted
hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, or any other document
provided for or contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or in
connection therewith, or for the consequences of any oversight or error of
judgment on its or their part, unless caused by its or their gross negligence or
willful misconduct.  Except as otherwise provided herein, the Agent need not
make inquiry concerning the performance or observance by the Borrower of any of
the terms, provisions or conditions of any of the Loan Documents.  The Agent
will give the other Lenders notice of the occurrence of any uncured Event of
Default of which the Agent's officers in charge of the administration of the
Loans shall have actual knowledge, but no failure to give such notice shall
result in any liability of the Agent to the other Lenders, unless caused by the
Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The duties of the Agent shall
be administrative in nature, and the Agent shall not have by reason of this
Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender.  Nothing in this
Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be construed as to
impose upon the Agent any obligations in respect

                                      -96-
<PAGE>
 
of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents except as expressly set
forth herein.

     (c) Whenever this Agreement or any other Loan Document provides or
contemplates that the Agent shall or may make any determination or exercise
judgment with respect to the existence of any fact or circumstance, the
compliance with or satisfaction of any covenant, obligation or condition or any
other matter provided for or contemplated herein or in any other Loan Document,
the Agent, in making such determination or exercising such judgment, may rely
solely upon a certificate or affidavit of the Borrower or the Borrower's agents
or representatives or the General Partner, without making any independent
inquiry or obtaining independent evidence with respect thereto.

     (d) The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any writing or other
document, telegram or telephone conversation reasonably believed by it to be
genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person
or Persons.  The Agent shall be fully protected in acting or in refraining from
acting pursuant to or upon the advice of legal counsel, independent public
accountants and other experts selected by it concerning all matters hereunder or
under the Loan Documents or any other document provided for or contemplated by
this Agreement or any Loan Document and its duties hereunder and thereunder.

     (e) With respect to its Loan Commitment and the Pro Rata Share of the
Loans made by it, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as
the other Lenders and may exercise the same as if it were not the Agent.  The
term "Lenders" shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include
FNBC individually.  FNBC or its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money
to, and generally engage in any kind of banking or trust business with the
Borrower, the Marriott Entities, any of

                                      -97-
<PAGE>
 
the partners of the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower or of Marriott as
if it were not the Agent.

     (f) The Agent may deem and treat each Lender and each successor holder of
any interest in the Notes made payable to such Lender as the owner of such
interest in such Notes for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice
of the assignment or transfer thereof shall be filed with the Agent and there
shall have been delivered to the Agent a written assumption by such transferee
or assignee of all obligations of such Lender hereunder. The delivery of such
written assumption to the Agent shall be a condition precedent to the right of
any Lender to transfer any interest in the Notes made payable to such Lender.
Each Lender covenants with the other Lenders to deliver such written assumption
to the Agent simultaneously with the transfer by it of any interest in the Notes
made payable to such Lender. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who
at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is a
holder of a Note or any interest therein shall be conclusive and binding upon
any subsequent holder, transferee or assignee of the Note or interest therein.
If a Lender shall sell and transfer beneficial participations in its interest in
the Notes made payable to such Lender (as contrasted to outright assignments and
transfers of such interest), the Agent and the other Lenders need only recognize
and treat such Lender as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

     (g) The Agent may at any time request the Lenders to participate in the
review and approval of any document, course of action or information provided
hereunder to be reviewed and approved by the Agent.  The Agent shall in all
cases be fully protected in, and shall have no liability by reason of, acting or
refraining from acting, and no Lender shall have any claim or

                                      -98-
<PAGE>
 
right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of the Agent's acting
or refraining from acting, under this Agreement and any Loan Document and any
other document referred to or contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with
written instructions signed by the Required Percentage of the Lenders or such
higher percentage as may be necessary under Section 11.5 or Section 11.6 hereof
to authorize any action specified in such instructions; provided, however,
                                                        --------  -------
unless and until the Agent shall receive such instructions, the Agent may take
such action with respect thereto as it shall deem advisable in the best interest
of the Lenders.


     (h) The Agent makes no warranty or representation and shall not be
responsible for any statement, warranty or representation made in or in
connection with the Loan Documents or in any document, certificate or other
writing delivered in connection herewith, and shall not be responsible for the
performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the
Loan Documents on the part of the Borrower, the Marriott Entities or any other
Person, and shall not have any duty to inspect the property (including the books
and records) of the Borrower, the Marriott Entities or any other Person.  The
Agent shall not, by any action or inaction hereunder or under any of the Loan
Documents, be deemed to make any representation or warranty regarding the
financial condition of the Borrower or any of the Marriott Entities, the
effectiveness, genuineness, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any
of the other Loan Documents, or the existence, value, collectibility or adequacy
of any collateral security for the Loans, or for the validity, effectiveness,
perfection or relative priority of the Liens and security interests for the
Loans, or for the filing, recording, refiling, rerecording, or continuing of any
assignment, Lien, security interest, financing statement or other instruments,
or for the legality, legal effect or sufficiency of

                                      -99-
<PAGE>
 
any act of the Borrower, the Marriott Entities or any other Person in connection
with, or under any of the provisions of, this Agreement or any of the Loan
Documents.  The Agent has no duty to make any inquiry concerning either the
performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this
Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, or the financial condition of the
Borrower or any of the Marriott Entities or the existence or possible existence
of any Default or Potential Default.

     (i) Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without
reliance on the Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and
information as it has obtained from the Borrower and/or the Marriott Entities
and has deemed appropriate, made its own credit or other analysis of the
Borrower and decision to enter into this Agreement; and that it will,
independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender, and based
on such documents and information as it shall hereafter obtain from the Borrower
and/or the Marriott Entities and deem appropriate at the time, continue to make
its own credit analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  The Agent shall not have any duty or
responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information
concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of the Borrower and/or
the Marriott Entities which may come into the possession of the Agent, except as
otherwise provided herein.

     (j) The Agent shall have no duty or obligation to defend or prosecute
any action or proceeding unless indemnified, in writing, to its satisfaction, by
the Lenders for each respective Lender's proportionate share (in the proportion
of its Pro Rata Share) of the costs and expenses thereof.  In the event that the
Lenders shall determine to make any payment or incur any

                                     -100-
<PAGE>
 
expense for the purpose of maintenance, repair, restoration, payment of taxes,
insurance or other costs or expenses, which they deem necessary or appropriate
in connection with the holding, operation and/or sale of the Property or other
collateral for the Loans, each Lender shall promptly reimburse, to the extent of
its proportionate share (in the proportion of its Pro Rata Share) thereof, the
Lender that makes such payment or incurs such expense.

     (k) Nothing contained in this Article 9 is for the benefit of the
Borrower, the Marriott Entities or any Person other than the Lenders.

10. EQUIPMENT.

     10.1  Amendment of Equipment Lease.  Notwithstanding anything to the
           ---------------------------- 
contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Borrower
may at any time modify or amend the Equipment Lease, subject to the following
terms, provisions and conditions:

     (a) No such modification or amendment shall impose upon the Borrower any
obligations beyond those theretofore contained in the Equipment Lease.

     (b) Except for an amendment of the Equipment Lease provided for in
Section 10.2(d), no such modification or amendment shall, either alone or in the
aggregate with any other modifications or amendments, reduce or result in the
reduction of the Net Equipment Rental Income by more than $1,000,000.00 in any
Fiscal Year; provided, however, that the Borrower may, in the exercise of its
             --------  -------  
reasonable business judgment, modify or amend the Equipment Lease so as to
reduce the Net Equipment Rental Income by more than $1,000,000.00 in any Fiscal
Year if by reason of the

                                     -101-
<PAGE>
 
financial condition of TWA such amendment is necessary or appropriate to ensure
TWA's performance thereunder.

     (c) The Borrower shall promptly furnish to the Agent a copy of any
modification or amendment, certified by the Borrower to be true, correct and
complete.

     Upon the Agent's delivery of the release provided for in Section 10.3,
the provisions of this Section 10.1 shall no longer be binding upon the
Borrower.

     10.2  Sale of Equipment.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
           -----------------
contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, the Borrower may at
any time sell any or all of the Equipment, subject to the following terms,
provisions and conditions:

     (a) No such sale shall impose upon the Borrower any obligations beyond
those customarily contained in similar transactions.

     (b) Such sale shall be on a cash basis, with the full purchase price
paid at the closing of such sale.

     (c) Such sale shall not be a sale-leaseback transaction, and following
such sale Borrower shall have no ownership, leasehold or other interest in the
Equipment so sold.

     (d) If less than all of the Equipment then subject to the Lease is sold,
the Equipment Lease shall be amended in the appropriate manner to reflect such
sale and the proportionate reduction of rent thereunder.

                                     -102-
<PAGE>
 
     (e) Either prior to entering into any contract or agreement for sale of
any Equipment or such modification or amendment of the Equipment Lease, or as a
condition of the effectiveness of any such documents into which Borrower has
entered, the Borrower shall furnish to the Agent for approval copies of such
proposed or actual documents, certified by the Borrower to be true, correct and
complete.  The Agent's right to disapprove any such document shall be limited to
the Agent's determination of whether such document complies with the provisions
of this Section 10.2.  Failure of the Agent to disapprove any such document
within ten (10) Business Days of the Agent's receipt thereof shall constitute
approval thereof.

     (f) The Borrower shall pay to the Agent, as a partial prepayment of the
Loans, an amount equal to the following percentage of the gross sales price for
the Equipment so sold, which amount shall be payable on the first Quarterly

- -----------------                                     ----------------
On or before April 24, 1990                                60%

Later than April 24, 1990 and
on or before April 24, 1991                                50%
 
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, no payment shall be required under this
Section 10.2(f) if the aggregate amount of gross sales prices of all Equipment
sold in any Fiscal Year is less than $500,000.00, but, if such aggregate amount
equals or exceeds $500,000.00, payment of the applicable percentage of the
entire gross sales price of all such sales shall be required.

     Upon the Agent's delivery of the release provided for in Section 10.3, the
provisions of this Section 10.2 shall no longer be binding upon the Borrower.

                                     -103-
<PAGE>
 
     10.3 Release of Security Interest. Provided no Event of Default has

the Equipment, whether to TWA or any other Person, on reasonable terms and
conditions; or (iii) incur Indebtedness with respect to which the recourse
against Borrower is limited to the Equipment and to the rights of the Borrower

     11.2  Survival of Representations; Successors and Assigns.  All
           ---------------------------------------------------      
covenants, agreements, representations, warranties and indemnifications made
herein and in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the
execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the
making by the Lenders of the Loans and the execution and delivery of the Notes,
regardless of any investigation made by the Lenders and of the Lenders' access
to any information and shall continue in full force and effect so long as the
Loan Commitments are outstanding, or the Loans or any obligation created
hereunder is outstanding and unpaid.  Whenever in this Agreement there is a
reference to any of the parties hereto, such reference shall be deemed to
include the successors and assigns of such party, subject to the provisions
hereof.  All covenants, agreements, representations, warranties and
indemnifications by or on behalf of the Borrower or the Marriott Entities or any
other Person which are contained or incorporated in this Agreement or any other
Loan Document or any other document referred to herein or executed or delivered
in connection with the Loans shall inure to the benefit of the successors and
assigns of the Lenders and any holders of the Notes or any interest therein.
Except for the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, no
other Person shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement or to rely
hereon. Each Lender shall be individually and severally bound by this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents but shall not be jointly obligated hereunder and
thereunder and shall have no responsibility for any failure of any other Lender
to comply with any

                                     -106-
<PAGE>
 
of its obligations under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

     11.3 Effect of Delay; No Waivers. No failure or delay on the part of the
          ---------------------------
Lenders or any of them in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or
under the Notes, nor any course of dealing between the Borrower and the Lenders
or any of them, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial
exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise or the exercise of any
other right, power or privilege. No advance of the Loans made at a time when an
Event of Default exists shall constitute a waiver of any right or remedy of the
Lenders existing by reason of such Event of Default.

     11.4 Expenses. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be
          --------
consummated, the Borrower agrees to pay, and the Lenders may charge any deposit
account(s) of the Borrower for, all expenses incurred by the Lenders in
connection with the negotiation, preparation and administration of this
Agreement (including, without limitation, any modifications of or waivers under
this Agreement), the other Loan Documents, the advances of the Loans hereunder,
the enforcement, defense and preservation of the rights of the Lenders under or
in connection with this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents, and
all reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements incurred by the Lenders which
arise out of or are connected, directly or indirectly, to any transaction
contemplated by this Agreement, the fees of appraisers and surveyors, filing and
recording fees and taxes, mortgage taxes, intangible taxes and insurance
(including title insurance) premiums. All of such expenses shall be paid by the
Borrower at or prior to the time of the execution of this Agreement, except
that, if payment of such amounts is not required as a condition of Closing under
Section 3.12, such amounts shall be paid promptly upon demand. The provisions of

                                     -107-
<PAGE>
 
this Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement, whether by reason
of bankruptcy of the Borrower or otherwise.

     11.5  Consent by Percentage of the Lenders.
           ------------------------------------

     (a) Subject to the provisions of Sections 11.5(b), 11.5(c) and 11.6 any
waiver, consent, or other indulgence which the Lenders may, at their option,
determine to grant to the Borrower, or any decision to waive any condition, or
any amendment or modification of any provision hereof, or of any other term or
provision of any of the other Loan Documents or the granting or refusal of any
consent or approval contemplated hereby or thereby, or to negotiate settlements
of insurance claims or condemnation awards as mortgagee or secured party, or to
exercise any rights or remedies under the Loan Documents shall be sufficient and
binding upon all of the Lenders and the Borrower if agreed to in writing by a
Required Percentage of the Lenders.

     (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section
11.5(a), the Agent may, without the consent of the Lenders, exercise the rights
and powers and grant or deny any consents as are provided to be exercised or
granted by the Agent pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, the other provisions of
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  The Agent may also waive any
condition or provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents without the
consent of the Lenders in connection with the determination of whether the Loans
are to be disbursed or in connection with the administration of the Loans as the
Agent reasonably determines are incidental to the exercise of its rights and
powers referred to in this Section 11.5(b) and are not a waiver of a material
condition or provision.

                                      -lO8-
<PAGE>
 
        (c) No decision may be made without the prior written consent of all the
Lenders, (i) to change the method or formula by which the rate of interest is
determined; (ii) to reduce the amount or change or postpone the date of any
required payment of principal, interest or the Loan Fee; (iii) to change or
extend the Maturity Date; (iv) to alter the Guaranties or the collateral for the
Loans or the provisions relating to the release of the collateral; (v) to
pursue, prior to the commencement of foreclosure proceedings under the Deed of
Trust or the exercise of the power of sale thereunder, any other remedies if the
pursuit of such other remedies might adversely affect the Lenders' rights under
the Deed of Trust; (vi) to accept a deed in lieu of foreclosure for the benefit
of the Lenders (in the proportion of their respective Pro Rata Shares) and to
release the Borrower, the General Partner, Marriott, and/or any successor to
their interest in consideration of such conveyance in lieu of foreclosure; (vii)
to receive, as part payment for the subsequent sale of the Property, a purchase
money mortgage, any such purchase money mortgage to be held by the Agent for the
benefit of the Lenders (in the proportion of their respective Pro Rata Shares)
subject to the provisions of this Agreement or (viii) to change the Required
Percentage of Lenders.  Any participation agreements entered into by any of the
Lenders will provide that the consent of the participant is not required as a
condition to any action of the Lender except as to matters set forth in this
Section 11.5(c), items (i) through (vii).

        (d) The Borrower shall not be entitled to assert a defense or otherwise
question any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Lenders, or any of them,
or the Agent, on the basis that the requisite percentage of the Lenders has not
consented thereto or that the Agent was not duly authorized with respect
thereto.

        11.6   Lenders' Right of Setoff.  No Lender may exercise any right of
               ------------------------
setoff with respect to a Loan without the prior written approval of all other
Lenders.  Any Lender that exercises such right of setoff without the prior
approval of all other Lenders shall indemnify and hold harmless all other
Lenders from and against all losses that may be incurred by them as a result of
any adverse effect that the exercise of such right of setoff has upon the rights
of the Lenders under the Loan Documents.

        11.7   Use of Accounting Terms.  Except as otherwise provided herein,
               -----------------------
accounting terms used in this Agreement shall be construed, calculations
hereunder shall be made and financial data required hereunder shall be prepared,
both as to classification of items and as to amounts, in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles in effect as of the date hereof
consistently applied.  All statements relating to earnings and expenses shall
set forth separately or otherwise identify all extraordinary and non-recurring
items.

        11.8   Equitable Adjustment among Lenders.  The Lenders agree among
               ----------------------------------
themselves that, with respect to all sums received by the Lenders applicable to
the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes or the Loan Fee, equitable
adjustment will be made among the Lenders so that, in effect, all such sums
shall be shared ratably by each of the Lenders based upon their Pro Rata Shares
of the Loans (as the case may be), whether received by voluntary or required
payment or prepayment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the
right of setoff or banker's lien, by counterclaim or cross-action or by the
enforcement of the Notes or the Guaranties.  Without limitation of the
provisions of Section 11.6, each Lender hereby agrees that any sums received by
it from the Borrower by exercise of the right of setoff or banker's lien shall
be applied solely to payment of the

                                     -110-
<PAGE>
 
Notes outstanding hereunder and not to payment of any other financial
accommodations extended by such Lender to the Borrower.

        11.9   No Assignment by Borrower.  The Borrower shall not assign this
               -------------------------
Agreement or any of the moneys due or to become due hereunder or convey,
transfer, encumber (except as otherwise permitted herein or in any of the
other Loan Documents) or otherwise hypothecate the Property or any part thereof
by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the
Lenders.  Notwithstanding any breach by the Borrower of the provisions of this
Section 11.9, the Lenders may, at their option, continue to make advances under
this Agreement to the Borrower or to those who succeed to the Borrower's title;
and all sums so advanced by the Lenders shall be deemed to be made pursuant to
this Agreement, and not to constitute a modification thereof, and shall be
evidenced by the Notes and secured by the Deed of Trust and by all other
collateral granted to the Lenders by the Borrower hereunder.

        11.10  Lender Assignment and Participation.
               -----------------------------------

        (a) Without the prior written consent of the Borrower, no Lender shall
assign or transfer an interest in the Loan, except to (i) an assignee or
transferee that is an affiliate of such Lender or (ii) another Lender.  The
foregoing provisions shall not limit the rights of any Lender with respect to
any sale or grant of any participation interests.

        (b) Without the prior written consent of the Borrower, no Lender shall
assign or transfer an interest, or sell or grant a participation interest, in
the Loan to any Person other than another Lender unless following such
assignment, transfer, sale or grant the Lender that has so assigned,
transferred, sold or granted such interest retains an interest in the Loan, free
of

                                     -111-
<PAGE>
 
participation or other interests, that is at least equal to twenty-five percent
(25%) of the Pro Rata Share of the Loan of such Lender as of the date of the
Agreement.

        (c) All participation agreements entered into by any Lender with respect
to the Loan or any interest therein shall (i) limit the participant's right to
approve any action taken by such Lender with respect to the Loan to those
specified in items (i) through (vii) of Section 11.5(c), and (ii) incorporate
with respect to such participant the confidentiality provisions of Section
11.23.

        11.11  Books and Records.  The Lenders or any of their representatives
               -----------------
shall have, upon not less than two Business Days' notice and at reasonable times
and as often as the Lenders, or any of them, may request, the right to inspect
all the books and records of the Borrower relating to the Property and the
Equipment Lease and shall be furnished with all information reasonably requested
by them in connection therewith.

        11.12  Written Communications with Agent.
               ---------------------------------

        (a) Any written communication delivered by the Agent to the Borrower
that states that such communication is delivered by the Agent as agent on behalf
of the Lenders shall be binding upon the Lenders, and the Borrower may rely upon
such communication as binding upon the Lenders.

        (b) Unless this Agreement specifically states that a document,
instrument or other communication required to be furnished by or on behalf of
the Borrower is to be delivered to the Agent, the Borrower shall deliver or
cause to be delivered to all of the Lenders counterparts of any such required
document, instrument or communication; provided, however, that delivery to
                                       --------  -------

                                     -112-

Credit Lyonnais, New York Branch of the counterpart of any required document,
instrument or communication shall satisfy the requirement of delivery of said

               -----------
agreements in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
(including without limitation those provided for in Article 3 hereof) shall be
satisfactory in form, scope and substance to the Lenders and their counsel, and
the Lenders and such counsel shall have received all information and copies of
all documents which the Lenders or their counsel may reasonably have requested
in connection therewith, such documents where appropriate to be certified by
proper governmental authorities.

        11.14  Resignation of Agent.
               --------------------

        (a) The Agent or any successor Agent hereunder may at any time resign
by giving not less than sixty (60) days' prior written notice to the Borrower
and all of the other Lenders. Within twenty (20) days of the resigning Agent's
notice of resignation, a successor Agent shall be designated from among the
Lenders by the Required Percentage of the Lenders, which shall notify the
Borrower and all Lenders (including the resigning Agent) of such designation,
which designation shall be subject to the Borrower's approval, not to be
unreasonably withheld.  If the Lenders fail to designate a successor Agent
pursuant to the preceding sentence or if the successor Agent fails to deliver to
the Borrower and all of the Lenders, within thirty (30) days of resigning
Agent's notice of resignation, a written instrument agreeing to act as Agent
hereunder, then the Lender holding the largest aggregate interest in the Loans
(or, if there is more than one Lender holding such equally large interests, one
of such

                                     -113-
<PAGE>
 
Lenders selected by the resigning Agent) shall be the successor Agent.  Any

to the effective date of its resignation, all Loan Documents, collateral,
insurance policies, binders and certificates and other documents and instruments
that it is holding as Agent hereunder and shall cooperate with the successor
Agent in the transition of the agency.

by mailing a copy of the summons and the complaint to such party, by registered
mail, return receipt requested, at its address designated for notices under
Section 11.1 of this Agreement.  Nothing in this Agreement or elsewhere shall
affect the Lenders' right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law

Agreement or the Note or any of the other Loan Documents or any of the liens,
security interests or collateral security for the Loans or any of them, the
parties mutually waive trial by jury, and the Borrower waives (a) any claim for
consequential or special damages, and (b) the right to assert therein any setoff

           breach or default, nor any circumstance or condition which, with the

Lender's obligations hereunder to advance funds therefrom in accordance with
Section 5.16(c) hereinbelow, Borrower shall not have the authority or power to
make withdrawals from said DSLR Account, and Lender shall be and is hereby
irrevocably authorized to make withdrawals from said account in accordance with
the Loan Documents. Amounts in the DSLR Account shall be invested in such
investments as Borrower shall select and Lender shall approve (such approval not
to be unreasonably withheld, it being acknowledged that Lender shall have the
right to require investments that are substantially without risk of principal
loss and are appropriately liquid), provided that if a Potential Default or
                                    --------
Event of Default shall have occurred, then Lender shall have the sole right and
discretion to select the investments. Any earnings on the DSLR Account shall be
retained therein and applied in the same manner as Borrower's deposits thereto.
The out-of-pocket costs reasonably incurred in establishing and maintaining the
DSLR Account shall be borne by Borrower and may be deducted from amounts then on
deposit therein.

        (b) On the twenty-first day following the end of each Accounting Period,

of the Operating Profit for such Accounting Period over the sum of such interest
payment and Permitted Additional Deductions. For purposes of the foregoing
sentence, if Borrower prepays the Loans in accordance with and to the extent

equal to the lesser of the actual debt service on such loan or the amount of
debt service which would otherwise have been payable on such prepaid principal

Deductions".

      Operating Tenant under the Operating Lease for any Accounting Period shall
      be insufficient to pay interest on the Loans due and payable on the
      Interest Payment Date immediately following such periodic installment,
      then funds shall be disbursed from the DSLR Account (and Lender is hereby
      authorized, without any further writing or authorization required from
      Borrower, to make disbursements from the DSLR Account) in the amount of
      such insufficiency and to apply the same to the payment of such interest,

                            --------
Default and no default by the Operating Tenant under the Operating Lease beyond
the expiration of any applicable notice and grace period, Lender shall disburse
to the Operating Tenant from the DSLR Account the amount owed to the Operating
Tenant for its incentive management fee, such disbursement to be made at the
same time, and on the same terms and conditions as would be applicable to the
Borrower's payment of such fee under the terms of Annex B and the Operating
Lease. The insufficiency of amounts in the DSLR Account shall not relieve
Borrower from its obligation to fulfill each of its covenants in the Loan
Documents.

      (ii) If there shall occur an Event of Default, then the amounts in the
DSLR Account shall not be made available to Borrower (or to the Operating
Tenant) and instead may be held, used and applied by Lender in its sole and
absolute discretion to the payment of any other amounts that may be due and
payable (or that may thereafter become due and payable) under the Loan; provided
                                                                        --------

Tenant under the Operating Lease beyond the expiration of any applicable notice
and grace period, Lender shall disburse to the Operating Tenant from the DSLR
Account the amount owed to the Operating Tenant for its incentive management
fee, such disbursement to be made at the same time, and on the same terms and
conditions as would be applicable to the Borrower's payment of such fee under
the terms of Annex B and the Operating Lease.

      (iii) If the Loan, together with all other amounts due under the Loan
Documents, shall be repaid in full, then the amounts in the DSLR Account shall
be paid as follows:

          (A) first, to Borrower, for payment to a reserve account established
  by the Operating Tenant, an amount calculated in accordance with Annex B
  attached hereto (and Borrower shall be obligated to pay to the Operating
  Tenant from such reserve account any amount owed to the Operating Tenant on
  account of the Operating Tenant's incentive management fee in accordance with
  Annex B and the Operating Lease);

          (B) second, to the lender under the loan to be made under the GSMC
  Long-Term Financing Commitment (or any replacement loan thereof), for the
  deposit into the debt service liquidity reserve to be established in
  accordance therewith, up to a maximum amount (the "Maximum DSLR Amount") equal
  to six (6) months' principal and interest payments as would be required to be
  paid under the GSMC Long-Term Financing Commitment for the Senior Note and six
  (6) times the amount described in clause (vi) under "Application of Revenues -
  - Prior to

             the GSMC Long-Term Financing Commitment); and

                  (C) third, the balance, if any, to Borrower.

             (d) Borrower hereby pledges, assigns and grants a security interest
     to Lender, as security for payment of all sums due in respect of the Loan
     and the performance of all other terms, conditions and covenants of this
     Agreement and any other Loan Document on Borrower's part to be paid and
     performed, all of Borrower's right, title and interest in and to the DSLR
     Account, together with the deposits therein, including all interest earned
     thereon and investments held therein. Borrower shall not further pledge,
     assign or grant any security interest in the DSLR Account, or permit any
     lien, charge or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made
     thereon, or any UCC-1 Financing Statements to be filed with respect thereto
     (except those naming Lender as the secured party).

             (e) Under no circumstances shall the Operating Tenant or any
     affiliate thereof have any right, title or interest of any sort, legal or
     equitable, in or to the amounts in the DSLR Account. The foregoing,
     however, shall not affect Lender's obligations to Borrower to disburse
     funds in the DSLR account in accordance with the terms of this Section
     5.16.

44.  Section 6.1 is amended by deleting clauses "Third", "Fourth", "Fifth" and

     Agreement and certain of the other Existing Loan Documents which have no
     continuing relevance or effect remain in said Loan Documents following the
     modification of said Existing Loan Documents by the Modification Documents
     (such provisions, the "Historical Provisions"), to reflect directly in the

     shall not be of any further force or effect, and without limitation on the
     foregoing, none of the Historical Provisions, or their retention in the
     Loan Documents, shall limit, expand or modify any of the obligations or
     liabilities of Borrower, or the rights or remedies of Lender, under any of
     the Loan Documents with regard to any such Historical Provisions.

                 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES RE GROUND LEASE

           With respect to the Leased Premises demised under the Golf Course
Lease, Borrower represents and warrants:

            (i) the Golf Course Lease or a memorandum thereof has been duly
     recorded; the lease permits the interest of the lessee thereunder to be
     encumbered by the Deed of Trust and does not restrict the use of the
     related property by the lessee, its successors or assigns in a manner that
     would materially adversely affect the security provided by the Deed of
     Trust; and a true and complete copy of the Golf Course Lease has been
     delivered to Lender;

            (ii) pursuant to the terms of the Golf Course Lease, the Golf Course
     Lease may not be amended, modified, cancelled, supplemented or terminated
     without the prior written consent of Lender, as Leasehold Mortgagee
     provided that such Leasehold Mortgagee has provided the lessor a true and
     correct copy of the modification and written notice specifying the name and
     address of such Leasehold Mortgagee, and any such action without such
     consent is of no force and effect;

            (iii) the Golf Course Lease has an original term (or an original
     term plus one or more optional renewal terms which have been exercised or
     which may be exercised, and will under all circumstances be enforceable, by
     a Leasehold Mortgagee) which extends not less than ten (10) years beyond
     the Maturity Date; the base rental under the Golf Course Lease is $100,000
     and shall be $100,000 for any renewal term which may be exercised;

            (iv) the Golf Course Lease is not subject to any liens or
     encumbrances superior to, or of equal priority with, the related Deed of
     Trust (other than the related ground lessor's fee interest); there is no
     deed of trust or Lien of record and to Borrower's knowledge there is no
     deed of trust or Lien not recorded, in each case encumbering the related
     ground lessor's fee interest (or if any such deed of trust or Lien exists,
     it is subordinate to the Lien held by Lender under the Deed of Trust);

            (v) the Golf Course Lease is assignable by a foreclosing Leasehold
     Mortgagee without the consent of the lessor thereunder;

            (vi) on the date hereof, the Golf Course Lease is in full force and
     effect and no default has occurred under the Golf Course Lease nor, to the
     best of Borrower's knowledge, is there any existing condition which, but
     for the passage of time or the giving of notice, would result in a default
     under the terms of the Golf Course Lease;

            (vii) the Golf Course Lease requires the lessor thereunder to give
     notice of any default by the lessee to the Leasehold Mortgagee; upon Lender
     providing lessor with a true and correct copy of the Modification of Deed
     of Trust and written notice

                                      -23-
<PAGE>
 
     specifying its name and address, Lender shall be recognized as a "Leasehold
     Mortgagee" under the Golf Course Lease;

           (viii) a Leasehold Mortgagee is permitted at least 30 days to cure
     any default under the Golf Course Lease which is curable after the receipt
     of notice of any such default before the lessor thereunder may terminate
     the Golf Course Lease and such cure period shall be extended during such
     time as Leasehold Mortgagee is actively pursuing an action for judicial or
     nonjudicial foreclosure of the Tenant's interest in the premises or
     Leasehold Mortgagee's prevented from exercising its rights and remedies
     under the Loan Documents by reason of the bankruptcy of Tenant, an
     injunction, court order or other similar prohibition provided that periodic
     rent payments shall be paid in the case of any such default which is not
     curable by such Leasehold Mortgagee, or in the event of the bankruptcy or
     insolvency of the lessee under the Golf Course Lease, Leasehold Mortgagee
     has the right, following termination of the existing Golf Course Lease or
     rejection thereof by a bankruptcy trustee or similar party, to enter into a
     new ground lease with the lessor on substantially the same terms and
     conditions as the existing Golf Course Lease; and

           (x) under the terms of the Golf Course Lease (together with the Deed
     of Trust), any award from a condemnation will be applied (after payment to
     the ground lessor of its proportionate share of the proceeds thereof) to
     the payment of the Loans.

                               INCENTIVE PAYMENT

           The "Incentive Payment" referred to in Section 5.16(c)(iii)(A) shall
be determined as follows for fiscal year 1997.

           During the term of the Loans, Annual Rental under the Operating Lease
shall be deemed to equal $20.5 million. If actual Operating Profit (i.e. Annual
Rental) for fiscal year 1997 exceeds Debt Service, Operating Tenant shall be
entitled to an "Incentive Payment" (assuming a maximum amount of $2,000,000)
equal to a portion of such excess amount attributable to the term of the Loans,
pro-rated based upon the following cumulative percentages (limited to 100%)
applicable at the time the Loans (or a portion thereof) are paid or prepaid. If
the Loans (or a portion thereof) are paid or prepaid during a period, it will be
assumed for the purposes of calculating the Incentive Payment that such payment
or prepayment is made on the last day of such period. The Incentive Payment
shall be calculated as follows:

          (e) Construction of DSV II Swimming Pool Facility. Developer agrees to
              ---------------------------------------------

swimming pool facility and to encourage them to utilize their on-site DSV II
swimming pool facility, and in connection with such construction, Developer
agrees to spend at least $1.3 million to accomplish the foregoing.

          ----------

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual premises contained herein
and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:


                                    1 of 11
<PAGE>
 
1.   RECITALS. The aforedescribed recitals are true and correct.
     --------

2.   GRANT OF LICENSE; NO INTEREST OR ESTATE GRANTED. OWNER hereby reconfirms
     -----------------------------------------------
     its grants to DEVELOPER, for the benefit of itself, its permitted assigns,
     and its intended beneficiaries, the Timeshare Owners, and the DEVELOPER'S
     subsequent assignment to the ASSOCIATION, of a license to use, subject to
     all of the terms and conditions hereof, the Resort golf courses, tennis
     courts, spa facilities and resort swimming pool specifically designated in
     Paragraph 3 hereinbelow (hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as
     "Facilities"). DEVELOPER agrees that neither it nor any party(ies) claiming
     rights through or under it have or shall claim, at any time, any interest
     or estate of any kind or extent whatsoever in the Resort premises upon
     which the Facilities are located by virtue of this Agreement or any
     permitted use hereunder.

3.   DESIGNATED USE OF SPECIFIC FACILITIES.  With respect to the Facilities,
     -------------------------------------
     DEVELOPER and its permitted assigns, including the ASSOCIATION and the
     Timeshare Owners and their family members, guests, certain renters and/or
     other certain authorized users of an assigned condominium unit at the
     Project, as applicable, (hereinafter for the sake of convenience sometimes
     collectively referred to as "permitted users"), shall have the following
     use rights during any period of time such certain permitted users are
     occupying an assigned condominium unit at the Project:

     (a)  the right to use the Resort golf courses on the same basis, including
          payment of standard greens fees, as hotel guests;

     (b)  the right to use the Resort tennis courts on the same basis as hotel
          guests, except that they shall not be required to pay a fee for court
          time;

     (c)  the right to use the Resort spa facilities on the same basis as hotel
          guests, to include, for example, payment of a daily admission fee and
          standard user fees except they and their permitted users shall not be
          required to pay a daily admission or entry fee to gain access to the
          Resort spa facilities, unless such permitted users other than
          Timeshare Owners themselves are renters who may only have access to
          the exercise and weight room free of charge and must pay the daily
          admission or entry fee for the spa; and

     (d)  the right to use the Resort swimming pool on the same basis as hotel
          guests.

4.   FEES.  DEVELOPER acknowledges the fact that permitted users will be charged
     ----
     reasonable use fees for the use of the Facilities as imposed by OPERATOR
     for hotel guests and/or the general public, whichever is less, except there
     shall be no fee for tennis court time or entry into the Resort spa
     facilities for permitted users (excluding renters) other than as discussed
     in Subparagraphs 3(b) and 3(c) above.

     DEVELOPER acknowledges the fact that the OPERATOR may increase the fees
     imposed in the future, and all permitted users shall pay the same increased
     fees as that


                                    2 of 11
<PAGE>
 
     paid by hotel guests and/or the general public at large, whichever is less.

     There shall be no initiation fee charged to the DEVELOPER and/or its
     permitted assigns and intended beneficiaries for the privileges granted
     hereunder; however, there shall be an annual fee. The initial annual fee 
     was $20.00 per timeshare interest for each condominium unit at the Project
     and is currently $28.80 per such timeshare interest. The annual fee in
     either case shall begin when a unit is annexed into the Project and a
     certificate of occupancy is issued for those weeks that are occupiable
     during the first year of operation; thereafter, the annual fee shall be
     collected for each of the fifty-one weeks or timeshare interests in each
     condominium unit which is part of the Project as of January 1st of each
     year. The OPERATOR reserves the right to adjust this fee annually to
     reflect increased costs of operations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
     annual increase in said annual fee shall not exceed the increase in the
     Consumer Price Index (as hereinafter defined) plus one percent (1%) (e.g.,
     if the Consumer Price Increase equals five percent (5%), then the annual
     increase shall equal six percent (6%) since the date of the most recent
     increase in such annual fee, but in no event shall the annual increase be
     more than fifteen (15%) percent in any given year. For purposes hereof, the
     Consumer Price Index shall mean the Revised Consumer Price Index for Urban
     Wage Earners and Clerical Workers, all items 1982-4=100, for the Riverside
     County, California Metropolitan Statistical Area presently published by the
     U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (the "Bureau"),
     Washington, D.C. If the foregoing standard is no longer available, then the
     parties may mutually agree to a different standard; if they cannot agree on
     a different standard, then they shall submit the matter to binding
     arbitration. Payment of the annual fees by DEVELOPER shall be due no later
     than March 1st of each year for that year's play (except for the first year
     of operation, where the annual fees will be paid in arrears on a monthly
     basis as condominium units are annexed into the Project and a certificate
     of occupancy is issued for same) or such other date as is mutually agreed
     to by OPERATOR and DEVELOPER. Annual fees due and owing after March 1st or
     such other date mutually agreed to by OPERATOR and DEVELOPER shall bear
     interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum. Upon non-payment of
     the annual fees required hereunder or any other default by DEVELOPER,
     OPERATOR shall provide the DEVELOPER with a written notice of said default
     and simultaneously provide a copy of such notice to the ASSOCIATION as
     described in paragraph 10 hereinbelow. The DEVELOPER shall have fifteen
     (15) days after receipt of said written notice to cure same. If such
     defaults are not cured within this period, or as extended by OPERATOR in
     its sole discretion, then the OWNER may terminate all of DEVELOPER's rights
     hereunder, and this Agreement shall become null and void. In the event that
     this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Paragraph 7 below prior to the end
     of its normal term, as renewed, if any, then the DEVELOPER or the
     ASSOCIATION, as applicable, shall be entitled to a refund of a pro-rated
     portion of the annual fee for the unused portion of the year in which the
     Agreement was terminated.

5.   ADHERENCE TO PUBLISHED RULES; CONSEQUENCES OF VIOLATIONS. The DEVELOPER
     --------------------------------------------------------
     acknowledges that it, and those claiming rights to the use of the
     Facilities under it, will obey all rules and regulations of the OPERATOR
     and its staff

                                    3 of 11
<PAGE>
 
     for use of the Facilities.  Violators will be subject to the reasonable
     penalties for violations of the rules and regulations. However, such
     violations shall not otherwise affect the rights of the DEVELOPER, its
     permitted assigns and its intended beneficiaries under this Agreement.

6.   RESPONSIBILITY FOR OPERATION, REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE OF FACILITIES. It is
     ------------------------------------------------------------------
     understood by the parties hereto that the responsibility for operation,
     repair and maintenance of the Facilities rests solely with the OWNER,
     OPERATOR and/or its staff who shall maintain the Facilities in reasonably
     satisfactory conditions. The DEVELOPER shall not be required to make any
     repairs or maintain or operate the Facilities. The OWNER and/or OPERATOR
     shall be permitted to close any of the Facilities for reasonable
     maintenance and repairs, including, but not limited to, times during usual
     and customary reseeding requirements of golf courses within the Coachella
     Valley area, so long as some reasonable use of the Resort golf course,
     tennis courts and/or Resort spa facilities is still available to the
     DEVELOPER and/or any party(ies) claiming rights hereunder by or through it.

7.   ADDITIONAL AND/OR CONTINUED USE OF FACILITIES. Nothing contained in this
     ---------------------------------------------
     Agreement shall limit in any way the right of the OWNER or OPERATOR, or any
     of their successors or assigns, to provide other persons or entities with
     rights to use or otherwise enjoy the Facilities; provided, however that the
     DEVELOPER and its permitted assigns and intended beneficiaries shall
     continue to enjoy reasonable access to and use of the Facilities. The
     rights and obligations of the parties contained herein are contingent on
     the continued existence of such Facilities, and they shall be in effect
     only for as long as such Facilities are in existence and the Resort is
     operated as a hotel. The OWNER or OPERATOR shall have the right to remove
     or change the design or use of any Facilities or discontinue the operation
     of any portion of the Facilities, so long as golf, tennis, spa and swimming
     pool facilities are still available to the DEVELOPER and its permitted
     assigns and intended beneficiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
     OWNER or OPERATOR may eliminate spa facilities if they no longer remain
     economically feasible to operate and are no longer made available to hotel
     guests, so long as OWNER or OPERATOR have provided not less than thirty
     (30) days advanced written notice of such elimination to the DEVELOPER
     and/or the ASSOCIATION, as applicable. Should the Facilities, or any
     essential part thereof, be totally destroyed by fire or other casualty,
     this Agreement shall immediately terminate. In the case of partial
     destruction where use would be materially inhibited without major
     reconstruction, this Agreement may be terminated by any party giving
     written notice to the other party(ies) specifying the date of termination.
     Such notice shall be given within thirty (30) days prior to the termination
     date therein specified. The OWNER and OPERATOR make no representation that
     any entity, including the OWNER, OPERATOR or Marriott International, Inc.,
     will be or remain affiliated with the Resort or that the Resort will
     continue to be operated as such in the future. However, so long as the
     Resort is operated as a hotel and the Facilities continue to remain open to
     hotel guests and/or the general public, the DEVELOPER and any party(ies)
     claiming rights by or through the DEVELOPER shall continue to be allowed to
     utilize the Facilities. If the Facilities are no longer available for use
     as set forth herein for whatever reason,


                                    4 of 11
<PAGE>
 
     then the DEVELOPER (or the ASSOCIATION upon assignment of the DEVELOPER's
     rights and responsibilities hereunder) may terminate this Agreement with
     prior advanced written notice to the OPERATOR setting forth the reason for
     termination, and no party hereto shall thereafter have any further
     obligations hereunder.

8.   INSTALLATION OR ATTACHMENT OF PROPERTY TO RESORT PREMISES; MODIFICATION OR
     --------------------------------------------------------------------------
     ALTERATION OF FACILITIES. The DEVELOPER agrees that neither it nor any
     ------------------------ 
     party(ies) claiming rights hereunder by or through it shall install or
     attach any property to the Resort premises upon which the Facilities are
     located nor, in any way, modify or alter the Facilities.

9.   TERM.  Subject to Paragraph 7 above, this Agreement shall continue through
     ----
     December 31, 2009, and it shall be automatically renewable for successive
     five (5) year periods unless terminated sooner as provided herein. Subject
     to Paragraph 7 above, any party may terminate this Agreement at the end of
     the initial or subsequent term by giving written notice to the other
     party(ies), specifying the date of termination, such notice to be given not
     less than thirty (30) days prior to the end of the term.

10.  ASSIGNMENT.   No assignment of this Agreement shall be made by the
     ----------
     DEVELOPER without the prior written consent of the OWNER, which approval
     shall not be unreasonably withheld, except for an assignment, in whole or
     in part, by the DEVELOPER to an affiliated entity of the DEVELOPER or to
     the ASSOCIATION. Upon receipt of a certificate of occupancy for a
     condominium unit constructed at the Project and such unit becoming part of
     the timeshare plan, the DEVELOPER's rights to use of the recreational
     facilities described herein shall automatically be assigned to the
     ASSOCIATION and the ASSOCIATION agrees to assume any and all obligations of
     the DEVELOPER hereunder, except for the requirement to provide
     indemnification to the OWNER pursuant to Paragraph 11 herein. The
     ASSOCIATION shall make the annual fee part of the ASSOCIATION's annual
     budget, and it shall collect the annual fee as part of the annual
     assessment and pay the entire amount for the annual fee due and owing to
     the OPERATOR either to the DEVELOPER or, with the DEVELOPER's consent,
     directly to the OPERATOR. The OWNER agrees to allow the ASSOCIATION and its
     members to utilize the Facilities described herein and to allow the
     ASSOCIATION to cure any defaults by the DEVELOPER hereunder. In this
     regard, the OWNER and OPERATOR agree to provide the ASSOCIATION with a
     written copy of any notice of a default hereunder sent to the DEVELOPER.
     Similarly, should the ASSOCIATION not receive full payment of the annual
     fees required to be paid hereunder due to non-payment of assessments by the
     ASSOCIATION's members, then the DEVELOPER shall have the right to pay such
     fees to the OPERATOR so as to not give rise to a default and termination of
     its use rights hereunder, and thereafter, the DEVELOPER shall be entitled
     to recoup all such monies from the ASSOCIATION.

11.  INDEMNIFICATION. OPERATOR and DEVELOPER hereby jointly and severally
     ---------------
     indemnify the OWNER and hold the OWNER harmless from and against any
     claims, demands, damages, liabilities and expenses, including attorney's
     fees and disbursements,


                                    5 of 11

     arising out of or in connection with any claims by purchasers of timeshare
     interests at the Project that they have not received rights to use any of
     the Facilities or that such rights are misrepresented or not adequately
     disclosed to them.

l2.  NOTICES. Any notices required hereunder shall be delivered personally with

          (b) If the initial term has extended its full duration, it may be
continued thereafter for three (3) additional two (2) year renewal terms at

including, but not limited to, wall, doors, entrance, floor coverings,

          (d)  Lessee may advertise and promote its business at the Hotel in a
tasteful manner, and may place, at locations specified by Lessor, approved
signs.

Premises shall remain part of the Premises and be deemed the property of Lessor,
and shall not be removed by the Lessee except as expressly provided in the
Agreement.  However, any fixtures or improvement installed at the sole expense
of Lessee and not as a required replacement may be removed from the Hotel by
Lessee prior to the expiration of the Agreement, and to the extent requested by
Lessor, must be so removed.  The cost of such removal and any repair
necessitated by it shall be paid by the Lessee.

     7.   Mail. Lessor will provide, at no cost to Lessee, a mail slot at the

property of which the Premises now are a part.

<PAGE>
 
     10.  Changes or Alteration By Lessor.
          -------------------------------

          (a) Lessor reserves the right to make such changes in or to the Hotel
as it may reasonably deem desirable; however, there will be no unreasonable
interference with the use of the Premises.

          (b) Lessor reserves the right of inspection of the Premises during
reasonable hours by itself or prospective purchasers or lessees, provided,
however, that such inspection does not unreasonably interfere with Lessee's use
of the Premises as a Vacation Gallery and administrative office. If necessary,
Lessor may enter the Premises by means of a master key or otherwise without
thereby becoming liable to Lessee. Except in cases of emergencies, Lessor shall
advise Lessee twenty four (24) hours in advance of such inspection.


     11.  Surrender of Premises. On the last day of the original or a renewal
          ---------------------
term of this Agreement or any earlier termination date, Lessee shall: 1)
peaceably leave and surrender unto Lessor the Premises and fixtures and
improvements (except those fixtures and/or improvements installed by Lessee and
which can be removed without damage to the Premises, should Lessee desire and/or
if Lessor requests the removal of said fixtures or improvements) in good order
and repair (ordinary wear and tear excepted). Lessee shall indemnify Lessor
against loss or liability resulting from delay by the Lessee in surrendering the
Premises, including delay-based claims made by a succeeding tenant and holdover
costs incurred by Lessor; and 2) restore Premises to its

                                       5
<PAGE>
 
original condition and function as eleven (11) hotel guest rooms.


     12.  Condemnation.  If all or a substantial part of the Premises is taken
          ------------
for public or quasi public use under statute, eminent domain or by condemnation
proceedings, this Agreement shall immediately terminate with the same effect as
if the full term had expired. Lessee hereby expressly assigns to Lessor any and
all of its right, title and interest in or to any award that may be made in any
such proceedings.


     13.  Damage by Fire or Other Casualty.
          --------------------------------

          (a) If during the term of this Agreement the Premises are rendered
untenable by fire or other casualty such that repairs cannot be made within
sixty (60) days thereafter, then this Agreement may be terminated by either
party giving to the other party, within sixty (60) days after the date of such
damage, written notice specifying a termination date of at least thirty (30)
days after the notice date. If the damage can be repaired within sixty (60) days
after it occurs, this Agreement shall not be terminated, and Lessor shall
proceed to repair the building and Premises, but only to the extent of the
proceeds of any fire or other casualty insurance coverage. If these repairs are
not sufficient, Lessee may terminate this Agreement immediately upon notice to
Lessor. Lessor will have no obligation to replace any items or fixtures
belonging to Lessee. During such repairs the rent shall be proportionately
abated unless (i) other Hotel space

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
reasonably suitable for temporary business as approved by Lessee (such approval
not to be reasonably withheld) is made available, or (ii) such damage is in any
way attributable to Lessee.  Lessor shall not be liable for any inconvenience to
Lessee or injury to Lessee's business resulting from such damage or subsequent
repair.

          (b) If Lessee shall be legally liable in connection with any damage to
the Premises or the Hotel by fire or other casualty, Lessee shall be fully
liable for the rent during the unexpired portion of the term, as well as for all
the restoration costs incurred by Lessor, but only to the extent of the proceeds
of any fire insurance coverage paid for by Lessee.


     14.  Lessor's Limitation for Damages. Except as expressly otherwise
          -------------------------------
provided herein, Lessor shall not be responsible for any latent defect or change
in the condition of the Premises, damage to the Premises or to any property
within, injury to persons or property loss by theft or entrustment to Lessor
employees, unless the damage shall be due to the negligence of Lessor. If Lessee
is for any cause deprived of the use of the Premises or if Lessee claims that
there is any defect in the Premises caused by the negligence of the Lessor,
Lessee shall promptly give written notice to Lessor and request that Lessor
remedy the condition noted within a reasonable time period.



     15.  Utilities.
          ---------

          (a)  Lessor will provide within the Premises heating, air

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
conditioning, electricity and hot/cold water in reasonable quantities for the
normal use of the Premises. Lessor shall not be liable for any failure to supply
such heat, air conditioning, water or electricity not due to negligence on its
part. Lessor reserves the privilege of stopping the service of such utilities at
such time as Lessor deems it desirable to do so for repairs, alterations or
emergencies, provided, however, when service is interrupted for repairs or
alterations, Lessor shall consult with Lessee to select a mutually convenient
time for such repairs or alterations.

          (b)  Lessee shall pay Lessor eight thousand seven hundred dollars
($8,700.00) per year during the initial term of this Agreement, for the 
utilities specified in section 15 (a) above.  The fee for the utilities during 
the renewal terms shall be increased annually but shall not increase by more 
than the local area CPI subject to a maximum of ten (10) percent in any one 
year.

          (c)  Lessor will supply a telephone through the Hotel switchboard for
incoming calls only. Upon Lessor's prior approval, other telephone lines may be
installed at Lessee's expense, said approval not to be unreasonably withheld.



          16.  Termination.
               -----------

          (a)  In the event that Lessee fails to carry out and comply with any
of the covenants, conditions and agreements to be performed by it, including but
not limited to failure to pay rent, then Lessor may notify Lessee of such
failure or default and demand that the same be remedied within ten (10) days. In
the event of Lessee's failure to so remedy the default within said period,
Lessor shall thereupon have the right to cancel and terminate this

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
Agreement without further notice.  Should Lessee receive a second notice of
failure or default, Lessee shall have no right of remedy and the Agreement shall
terminate at the end of the second notice period.

          (b)  Lessee shall remain liable for damages as provided herein or by
law, including all the rent for such time as the Agreement would have expired
but for such termination and all expenses incurred in removing Lessee and
reletting the Premises.

     

          17.  Property Taxes, Insurance and Indemnification.
               ---------------------------------------------

          (a)  Lessor shall pay real estate taxes and fire and extended coverage
insurance premiums on the Hotel and Premises.

          (b)  Lessee will provide and maintain, at its own expense:

               I.  Workers' Compensation insurance including employers'
                   liability which complies with the applicable workers'
                   compensation laws affecting the Lessee and all employees
                   working for the Lessee.

               II. Comprehensive general liability insurance including products
                   and contractual liability for bodily injury or property
                   damage with a combined single limit of not less than $1
                   million each occurrence. Such insurance shall name Lessor as
                   additional insureds.

          (c)  All Lessee's policies shall be specifically endorsed

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
to provide that the coverages obtained by virtue of this Agreement will be
primary and that any insurance carried by Lessor shall be excess and non-
contributory.  All policies shall be specifically endorsed to provide that such
coverage shall not be canceled or materially changed without at least thirty
(30) days prior written notice to Lessor.  Lessee shall deliver certificates of
insurance and any renewals thereof to Lessor which evidences the required
coverages.

          (d)  Lessee shall carry at its expense adequate insurance against loss
or damage by and other various risks on all fixtures, improvements and other
property controlled by Lessee and located upon the Premises, thereby holding
Lessor harmless for any losses or damages to such property.

          (e)  Lessee shall not allow any act or thing upon the Premises which
will conflict with the Hotel's insurance policies or might subject Lessor to
liability or responsibility for injury to persons or property.

          (f)  Lessee shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Lessor, its
partners, officers, directors, agents and employees from and against any and all
actions, costs, claims, losses, expenses and/or damages (whether in contract, in
tort or otherwise), including attorney's fees arising out of or in any way
resulting from Lessee's use of the Premises or this Agreement ("Claims"). Lessee
shall further indemnify Lessor from and against any and all Claims for or
arising out of any personal injuries or

                                      10
<PAGE>
 
the death of any of Lessee's employees working at the Hotel and during the
occupancy of all portions of the Hotel to which said employees are permitted
access.  The provisions contained in this paragraph shall survive the
termination of the Agreement.

     18.  Compliance with Laws.  The parties shall comply with all laws and
          --------------------
ordinances and all rules, orders and regulations of all governmental authorities
and of all insurance bodies, applicable to the Premises or to parties'
compliance with this Agreement.

     19.  Waivers.  Lessee hereby waives (i) all rights under any present or
          -------
future law to redeem the Premises or to continue this Agreement for the full
term after the Lessee is dispossessed or ejected from the Premises by process of
law or under the terms of this Agreement; (ii) the provisions of any law
relating to notice or delay in execution of an eviction or dispossession of a
tenant for nonpayment of rent; and (iii) all rights to trial by jury in any
cause of action directly or indirectly involving the rental or terms, covenants
or conditions or the Agreement or the Premises, regardless of who institutes the
suit. The words "re-enter" and "re-entry" as used in this Agreement are not
restricted to their technical legal meaning.

     20.  Successors and Assigns.  All provisions of this Agreement shall bind
          ----------------------  
and benefit the respective permitted successors, assigns and legal
representatives of the parties to this Agreement.

                                      11
<PAGE>
 
However, the covenants are obligations on the part of Lessor under this
Agreement shall not be binding upon Lessor with respect to any period subsequent
to a transfer of its interest in the Hotel.



     21.  No Partnership.  This Agreement does not form in any way a joint
          --------------
venture or partnership between the parties. Their relationship hereunder shall
always remain that of Landlord and Tenant.



     22.  Curing Lessee's Defaults - Additional Rent.
          ------------------------------------------

          (a) If Lessee shall default in performance of any provision of this
Agreement, Lessor may perform the same at the expense of Lessee, such expenses
to include any legal expenses incurred by Lessor. If any rent or damages payable
to Lessor are not paid when due, the same shall bear interest at 10% per annum
or (if less) the highest legal rate, payable monthly, from the due date until
paid, with the interest deemed additional rent. If any such additional rent is
not paid, Lessor shall have the same rights and remedies as if Lessee defaulted
in the payment of the fixed rent. Where Lessee is in arrears in the payment of
any rent, Lessor may apply any payments to any items Lessor deems fit. Lessor
reserves the right without liability to Lessee, to suspend furnishing to Lessee
any property or service that Lessor is obligated to furnish at the expense of
Lessee during any period in which the Lessee is in arrears in paying Lessor for
such services and has been given five (5) days' notice by Lessor or general

                                      12
<PAGE>
 
manager of such arrears.

          (b) If Lessee defaults in the payment of any part of rent and such
nonpayment does not result from Lessor's breach of any obligations it has under
this Agreement, or if the above described notice shall have been given without
Lessee properly curing or if the Premises becomes vacant or deserted, Lessor may
immediately, or at any time thereafter, re-enter the Premises and remove all
persons and property by a suitable proceeding at law or by force or otherwise
without being liable to Lessee. Lessee shall be liable to Lessor for damages
equivalent in amount to all of the rent provided for in this Agreement to the
time when this Agreement would have expired but for such termination, and this
amount shall be immediately due and payable by the Lessee to Lessor. Lessee also
shall pay to Lessor on demand all legal and other expenses incurred in removing
Lessee, repairing and reletting the Premises, and such other expenses as Lessor
may incur.


     23.  Non-Exercise of Rights While in Default. Lessee may not exercise any
          ---------------------------------------
right of termination or other option granted herein to it at any time when
Lessee is in default under any provision of this Agreement.


     24.  Partial Invalidity. Any terms or provisions of this Agreement which
          ------------------
shall prove to be invalid, void or illegal shall in no way impair or invalidate
any other term or provision hereof and such remaining terms and provisions shall
remain in full force and

                                      13
<PAGE>
 
effect.


     25.  Notices.  All communications required under this Agreement shall be
