                              EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

         E. Anthony Wilson, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer;
entered into an Employment Agreement with the Company effective May 1, 1998.
The employment agreement was entered into in contemplation that Hudson Hotels
Trust would also employ Mr. Wilson and share the obligations under the
contracts; however, with the failure of Hudson Hotels Trust, the Company is
responsible for all obligations thereunder. The Company also had employment
agreements with John Sabin and Michael George. Mr. Sabin's agreement was
terminated effective September 1, 1999, and Mr. George's agreement was
terminated effective March 1, 2000.

         The Employment Agreement has a term of five years, and may be
terminated by the Company for cause (as defined in the Agreements) or upon the
death or disability of the employee. In addition, either the Company or the
Employee can terminate the Agreement if the IPO of Hudson Hotels Trust has not
been completed within one year from the effective date. In the event of the
disability of Employee or termination of the Agreement by the Employee for Good
Reason, the Employee is entitled to receive severance equal to one year's base
salary, payable over two years. Good Reason means (i) material change of
Employee's duties, (ii) material breach by the Company, or (iii) voluntary
termination by Employee within ninety (90) days after a Change in Control. The
severance is also payable in the event of a termination due to the failure to
complete the IPO of Hudson Hotels Trust.
