                                  ----------
   
  Patriot American Hospitality, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, the
"Company") is a self-administered real estate investment trust ("REIT") which
owns 33 hotels in 13 states, with an aggregate of 7,538 guest rooms (the
"Hotels"). Since its October 1995 initial public offering (the "Initial
Offering"), the Company has acquired 13 hotels (the "Recent Acquisitions") with
an aggregate of 3,332 guest rooms and has entered into contracts and a letter
of intent to purchase 7 additional hotels with an aggregate of 1,995 guest
rooms (the "Proposed Acquisitions"). The Hotels are primarily full service
properties serving both business and leisure travelers in major United States
markets, including Atlanta, Boston, Cleveland, Dallas, Denver, Houston, New
Orleans, San Antonio, San Diego and Seattle. Twenty-nine of the Hotels are
operated under franchise or brand affiliations with nationally recognized hotel
companies, including Marriott(R), Crowne Plaza(R), Radisson(R), Hilton(R),
Hyatt(R), Four Points by Sheraton(R), Holiday Inn(R), WestCoast(R),
Doubletree(R), Embassy Suites(R) and Hampton Inn(R). See "The Company" and "The
Hotels and the Proposed Acquisitions." Thirty-two of the Hotels are leased to
independent lessees (the "Lessees") under participating leases ("Participating
Leases"), which are designed to allow the Company to achieve substantial
participation in revenue growth at the Hotels. Neither the Company nor its
management owns an interest in, or participates in the management of, the
Lessees. See "The Lessees and the Operators."     
   
  All of the shares of common stock of the Company (the "Common Stock") offered
hereby are being offered by the Company. The Common Stock is listed on the New
York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") under the symbol "PAH." On June 24, 1996, the
last reported sale price of the Common Stock on the NYSE was $28.875 per share.
See "Price Range of Common Stock and Distribution History." The Company's
Articles of Incorporation limit the number of shares of Common Stock that may
be owned by any single person or affiliated group. See "Description of Capital
Stock--Articles of Incorporation and Bylaw Provisions."

THESE  SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED  OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES  AND
 EXCHANGE  COMMISSION   OR  ANY  STATE  SECURITIES  COMMISSION   NOR  HAS  THE

                               PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
   
  The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed
information and financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus.
Unless otherwise indicated, the information in this Prospectus assumes (i) an
offering price per share of Common Stock of $28.875 (which was the last
reported sale price of the Common Stock on the NYSE on June 24, 1996), and (ii)
the Underwriters' over-allotment option is not exercised. Unless the context
requires otherwise, the term "Company," as used herein, includes Patriot
American Hospitality, Inc., PAH GP, Inc. ("PAH GP") and PAH LP, Inc. ("PAH
LP"), each of which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Patriot American
Hospitality, Inc., and Patriot American Hospitality Partnership, L.P., a
Virginia limited partnership (the "Operating Partnership"). The term "Operating
Partnership," unless the context requires otherwise, includes any subsidiaries
of the Operating Partnership. The offering of Common Stock pursuant to this
Prospectus is referred to herein as the "Offering." See "Glossary" for the
definitions of certain terms used in this Prospectus. This Prospectus contains
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The
Company's actual results could differ materially from those set forth in the
forward-looking statements. Certain factors that might cause such a difference
are discussed in the section entitled "Risk Factors" starting on page 16 of
this Prospectus.     
 
                                  THE COMPANY
   
  The Company is a self-administered real estate investment trust ("REIT")
which owns 33 hotels in 13 states, with an aggregate of 7,538 guest rooms (the
"Hotels"). The Hotels are diversified by franchise or brand affiliation and
serve primarily major U.S. business centers, including Atlanta, Boston,
Cleveland, Dallas, Denver, Houston and Seattle. In addition to hotels catering
primarily to business travelers, the Hotels include prominent hotels in major
tourist destinations, including New Orleans, San Antonio and San Diego. The
Hotels include 27 full service hotels, 5 limited service hotels and an
executive conference center. Twenty-nine of the Hotels are operated under
franchise or brand affiliations with nationally recognized hotel companies,
including Marriott(R), Crowne Plaza(R), Radisson(R), Hilton(R), Hyatt(R), Four
Points by Sheraton(R), Holiday Inn(R), WestCoast(R), Doubletree(R), Embassy
Suites(R) and Hampton Inn(R). For the twelve months ended March 31, 1996, the
Hotels had an average occupancy of 71.1% and an average daily room rate ("ADR")
of $81.55.     
   
  Since the Company's October 1995 initial public offering (the "Initial
Offering"), the Company has acquired 13 hotels (the "Recent Acquisitions") with
an aggregate of 3,332 guest rooms for approximately $216 million and has
entered into contracts and a letter of intent to purchase 7 additional hotels
with an aggregate of 1,995 guest rooms (the "Proposed Acquisitions") for an
aggregate purchase price (excluding acquisition-related expenses) of
approximately $145 million. The Company purchased the Recent Acquisitions with
proceeds from the exercise of the underwriter's over-allotment option in the
Initial Offering and with funds from its $250 million line of credit (the "Line
of Credit"). The Company is currently completing due diligence reviews
regarding the Proposed Acquisitions, however no assurances can be made that
these acquisitions will be completed. See "Developments Since the Initial
Offering--Proposed Acquisitions." If all of the Proposed Acquisitions are
consummated, the Company will have invested over $361 million in hotel
acquisitions and more than doubled its room portfolio since the Initial
Offering.     
 
  The Company leases each of the Hotels, except the Crowne Plaza Ravinia which
is owned through a special purpose corporation, to lessees that are independent
from the Company (the "Lessees") pursuant to separate participating leases (the
"Participating Leases"). The Crowne Plaza Ravinia acquisition was structured
without a Lessee for reasons specific to the acquisition. The Company
anticipates that future acquisitions will continue to be structured with
Lessees. The Lessees and the special purpose corporation that owns the Crowne
Plaza Ravinia in turn have entered into separate agreements (the "Management
Agreements") with hotel management entities (the "Operators") to operate the
Hotels. Neither the Company nor its management owns an interest in, or
participates in the management of, the Lessees or the Operators, thus avoiding
certain potential conflicts of
 
                                       1
<PAGE>
 
interest generally associated with the structure of hospitality REITs. All
Participating Leases between the Company and the Lessees have been negotiated
on an arms length basis.
   
  In connection with the Initial Offering, the Company closed the Line of
Credit with Paine Webber Real Estate Securities Inc., ("Paine Webber Real
Estate"). In May 1996, the maximum amount available under the Line of Credit
was increased from $165 million to $250 million and certain other modifications
were made, thereby increasing the Company's ability to borrow under the Line of
Credit. See "Developments Since the Initial Offering--Financing Activities."
       
  The Company believes market conditions today remain favorable for the
acquisition of hotel properties at attractive returns and, particularly with
respect to full service hotels, at prices significantly below replacement cost.
Accordingly, the Company intends to continue to acquire additional hotels that
meet one or more of its investment criteria. See "The Company--Business
Strategy--Acquisitions." Because the Company's structure is designed to
accommodate multiple lessees, hotel brand owner/operators, major hotel
management companies and hotel franchisors have presented the Company with
opportunities to acquire attractive hotel properties (including properties not
otherwise marketed for sale) and the Company expects such opportunities will
continue. The Company believes its acquisition capabilities are enhanced by the
fact that its capital structure provides significant financial flexibility. As
of June 24, 1996, the Company had a debt to total market capitalization ratio
of approximately 17%. The Company intends to continue to maintain a
conservative capital structure and currently intends to limit consolidated
indebtedness to no more than 40% of its total market capitalization.     
   
  The Company was formed to continue and expand the hotel acquisition,
ownership, redevelopment and repositioning business of the Patriot American
Group ("Patriot American"). Patriot American had historically pursued an
investment strategy that emphasized purchasing hotels at attractive prices and
renovating, repositioning and remarketing them to achieve significant revenue
growth and favorable investment returns. From January 1, 1992 to March 31,
1996, approximately $29.7 million was invested in renovations and other capital
improvements to the 20 Hotels acquired by the Company in connection with the
Initial Offering (the "Initial Hotels"). The Initial Hotels achieved
significant growth in occupancy, ADR and room revenue per available room
("REVPAR") from 1993 through 1995, as summarized in the following chart:

  For 1993, 1994, and 1995, average occupancy rates for the U.S. lodging
industry were 63.1%, 64.7% and 65.5%, respectively, according to Smith Travel
Research, Inc. ("Smith Travel"). Management believes the growth in occupancy,
ADR and REVPAR at the Initial Hotels primarily reflects the successful
renovation, repositioning and remarketing strategies of Patriot American, the
superior management and marketing capabilities of the Operators, and the
upswing in the hotel industry caused by a slowing of new hotel construction
nationally and improving economic conditions, following an extended period of
unprofitable industry performance in the late 1980s and early 1990s.     
 
  The Company's executive office is located at 3030 LBJ Freeway, Suite 1500,
Dallas, Texas 75234, and its telephone number is (214) 888-8000.

                    DEVELOPMENTS SINCE THE INITIAL OFFERING
 
  Since the Initial Offering, the Company has benefited from the following
developments:
 
RECENT ACQUISITIONS
   
  Since the Initial Offering, the Company has invested approximately $216
million in the acquisition of Hotels (including purchase prices and
approximately $3 million in acquisition-related expenses), increasing its room
portfolio by approximately 79%. Set forth below are summary descriptions of the
Recent Acquisitions.     
   
  Embassy Suites, Hunt Valley, Maryland. In November 1995, the Company acquired

Inn Worldwide headquarters in the Perimeter Center/Ravinia area of Atlanta,
Georgia. The Company paid approximately $4.5 million in cash for its investment

first and second lien mortgage loans. The Company intends to complete
approximately $2.7 million in renovations to the Hotel following completion of
the Olympic Games.
   
  Tremont House Hotel, Boston, Massachusetts. In January 1996, the Company
acquired the 288-room Tremont House Hotel in Boston, Massachusetts for
approximately $16.5 million in cash. The Company has commenced an extensive
$8.5 million renovation of the Hotel. This project includes renovation of
existing guest rooms and common areas and the addition of 34 new guest rooms on
a penthouse level, increasing the Hotel's room count to 322. The Company has
leased the Hotel to CHC Lease Partners, the lessee for the Company's 20 Initial
Hotels.     
 
  Holiday Inn Lenox, Atlanta, Georgia. In March 1996, the Company acquired the
297-room Holiday Inn Lenox in the Buckhead section of Atlanta for approximately
$7.3 million in cash and 167,012 units of limited partnership interest in the

  WestCoast Portfolio. In April 1996, the Company acquired a six hotel
portfolio (the "WestCoast Portfolio") for approximately $75.6 million in cash
and 331,577 OP Units, valued at approximately $8.8 million at the closing of
the acquisition. The portfolio includes the 194-suite WestCoast Plaza Park
Suites, the 151-room WestCoast Roosevelt Hotel and the 145-room WestCoast
Gateway Hotel, all in Seattle, Washington; the 410-room Hyatt Newporter Hotel
in Newport Beach, California; the 192-room WestCoast Long Beach Hotel and
Marina in Long Beach, California; and the 147-room WestCoast Wenatchee Center
Hotel in Wenatchee, Washington. The Company intends to complete a $1.8 million
renovation of the WestCoast Long Beach Hotel and Marina, and to complete build
out of a restaurant at the WestCoast Plaza Park Suites, converting this Hotel
to a full service property. The Company has leased the hotels in the WestCoast
Portfolio under separate Participating Leases to NorthCoast Hotels L.L.C.
("NorthCoast"), a recently formed company owned by a consortium of investors
including principals of WestCoast Hotels, Inc. ("WestCoast Hotels"), a major
regional hotel management company based in Seattle, and Sunmakers Travel Group
("Sunmakers"), a major tour and travel company in the Pacific Northwest.     
 
  Hyatt Regency, Lexington, Kentucky. In May 1996, the Company acquired the
365-room Hyatt Regency in Lexington, Kentucky for approximately $14.3 million
in cash. The Hotel adjoins Lexington's convention center and the Rupp Arena.

                                       3
<PAGE>
 
   
  Doubletree Denver/Boulder, Westminster (Denver), Colorado. In June 1996, the
Company acquired the 180-room Doubletree Denver/Boulder in suburban Denver,
Colorado for approximately $12.5 million in cash. The Company intends to
complete approximately $950,000 of renovations to the Hotel. The Hotel is the
Company's first Doubletree branded property and first acquisition in the Denver
area. The Company has leased the Hotel to DTR North Canton, Inc. (the
"Doubletree Lessee"), a subsidiary of Doubletree Hotels Corporation
("Doubletree Hotels").     
   
PROPOSED ACQUISITIONS     
   
  The Company has entered into contracts and a letter of intent to purchase the
Proposed Acquisitions for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $145
million. Subject to satisfactory completion of closing conditions, the Company
currently intends to complete all of the Proposed Acquisitions by August 1996,
although no assurances can be made that the Proposed Acquisitions will be
consummated. Assuming completion of the Proposed Acquisitions, the Company will
have invested over $361 million in hotel acquisitions since the Initial
Offering, more than doubling its rooms portfolio to a total of 40 hotels with
9,533 rooms. Set forth below are summary descriptions of the Proposed
Acquisitions.     
   
  Wyndham Portfolio. In April 1996, the Company signed a letter of intent to
acquire a portfolio of five Wyndham brand hotels (the "Wyndham Portfolio")
aggregating 1,141 rooms from entities owned primarily by members of the
Trammell Crow family for approximately $95.5 million in cash and $500,000 in
value of OP Units. The Wyndham Portfolio includes the 472-room Wyndham
Greenspoint Hotel located in Houston, Texas; the 191-room Wyndham Garden-
Midtown located in Atlanta, Georgia; the 148-room Wyndham Garden located in
Novi (Detroit), Michigan; the 162-room Wyndham Garden located in Wood Dale
(Chicago), Illinois; and the 168-room Wyndham Garden-Las Colinas located in
Irving (Dallas), Texas. The Company intends to lease the hotels in the Wyndham
Portfolio to an entity to be formed by members of the Trammell Crow family (the
"Wyndham Lessee").     
   
  The Company anticipates that the Wyndham Portfolio acquisition will be
completed in July 1996. The completion of the transaction is subject to
satisfactory completion of closing conditions, including the delivery of
certain third party consents. In connection with this acquisition, the Company
will agree to maintain at least $22 million of debt on the Wyndham Greenspoint
Hotel until the end of 1999. The Company is negotiating with PaineWebber Real
Estate to extend a single asset mortgage loan of approximately $22 million on
this hotel on economic terms substantially similar to the Line of Credit. If
the Wyndham Portfolio acquisition is completed prior to the closing of the
Offering, the Company intends to fund the remainder of the cash portion of the
purchase price (approximately $73.5 million) through a draw on the Line of
Credit and to repay any funds drawn with a portion of the proceeds of the
Offering. If the Wyndham Portfolio acquisition is completed after the closing
of the Offering, the Company intends to finance the remainder of the cash
portion of the purchase price with a portion of the proceeds of the Offering.
       
  Marriott WindWatch Hotel, Hauppauge (Long Island), New York. In March 1996,
the Company entered into an agreement to acquire the 362-room Marriott
WindWatch Hotel in Hauppauge (Long Island), New York for approximately $30
million in cash. This Proposed Acquisition will represent the Company's first
hotel in the metropolitan New York area.     
          
  Bonaventure Resort & Spa, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. In May 1996, the Company
entered into an agreement to acquire the 492-room Bonaventure Resort & Spa in
Ft. Lauderdale, Florida for approximately $16.2 million in cash and the
assumption of approximately $3 million in operating liabilities. The hotel is
situated on 23 acres and is 15 miles west of Ft. Lauderdale International
Airport. Upon completion of the acquisition, the Company intends to complete an
$8.5 million renovation of the hotel and implement a strategic and marketing
plan which will include branding the facility as a Registry Resort and Spa. The
Company currently anticipates that CHC Lease Partners will lease the hotel.
    
                                       4
<PAGE>
 
   
  The Company is in various stages of negotiations and due diligence review for
the Proposed Acquisitions. Closing of these transactions is subject to
satisfactory completion of the Company's due diligence review and certain other
conditions. In addition to the Proposed Acquisitions, as part of its ongoing
business, the Company continually engages in discussions with public and
private real estate entities regarding possible portfolio or single asset
acquisitions. The Company currently has over $800 million of hotel acquisition
opportunities under review. No assurances can be given that the Company will
acquire any of the hotel opportunities currently under review.     
 
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS AND RENOVATIONS
   
  The Company believes a regular program of capital improvements, including
replacement and refurbishment of furniture, fixtures and equipment ("F, F & E")
at the Hotels, as well as the renovation and redevelopment of selected Hotels,
is essential to maintaining the competitiveness of the Hotels and maximizing
revenue growth. The Company has budgeted approximately $16.5 million to
complete significant renovations at the Crockett Hotel, the Crowne Plaza
Ravinia, the Tremont House Hotel, the Del Mar Hilton, the WestCoast Long Beach
Hotel and Marina and the Doubletree Denver/Boulder. The Company spent
approximately $900,000 of this amount through March 31, 1996 and expects to
spend the remainder in 1996 and early 1997. In addition, as part of its ongoing
capital improvement program, the Company has budgeted approximately $10.8
million in 1996 for capital improvements and the replacement of F, F & E within
the Company's portfolio, including the Recent Acquisitions. The Company's
budget for capital expenditures, exclusive of renovations, exceeds 4.0% of
total revenues at the Hotels in 1996 due to capital expenditures required by
certain franchisors and the Company's decision to accelerate certain capital
improvements originally intended to be completed over a longer period. With
respect to the Wyndham Portfolio, the Company has budgeted approximately $1.9
million in renovations to certain of the hotels which the Company expects to
complete by the end of 1997. Such expenditures will be in addition to capital
expenditure reserves for these properties.     
 
FINANCING ACTIVITIES
 
  Private Placement. In May 1996, the Company sold an aggregate of
approximately $40.0 million of equity securities to an institutional investor
that purchased the securities on behalf of two owners (the "Private
Placement"). The securities consisted of 811,393 shares of Common Stock sold at
$26.95 per share and 662,391 preferred OP Units (the "Preferred OP Units") sold
at $27.375 per unit. The Common Stock is of the same class as the Company's
existing Common Stock and is entitled to the same voting and dividend rights as
all outstanding Common Stock. The purchaser is subject to certain restrictions
on the resale of the Common Stock. The Preferred OP Units are entitled to
quarterly distributions equal to 103% of the current quarterly dividends paid
on the Common Stock. Distributions on the Preferred OP Units increase or
decrease concurrently with any changes in Common Stock dividends. Prior to the
third anniversary of issuance, the Preferred OP Units generally will not be
exchangeable for Common Stock, except under certain limited circumstances.
After three years, the holders will have the right to exchange Preferred OP
Units for shares of Common Stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment
and to an ownership limitation of 4.9% of all outstanding Common Stock. After
10 years, the Company will have the right to exchange all outstanding Preferred
OP Units for shares of Common Stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to
adjustment. See "Partnership Agreement--Preferred OP Units."
   
  Credit Facility. In May 1996, the maximum amount available under the Line of
Credit was increased from $165 million to $250 million and certain other
modifications were made, thereby increasing the Company's ability to borrow
under the Line of Credit. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital
Resources."     
 
NEW FRANCHISE AND BRAND AFFILIATIONS
   
  With the completion of the Recent Acquisitions, the Company expanded the
franchise and brand affiliations in its portfolio to include Crowne Plaza(R),
Doubletree(R), Embassy Suites(R), Hyatt(R) and WestCoast(R). Assuming
completion of the Proposed Acquisitions, the Company will add the Wyndham(TM)
and Wyndham Garden(R) brands to its portfolio.

                                  RISK FACTORS
 
  AN INVESTMENT IN THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK INVOLVES VARIOUS RISKS, AND
INVESTORS SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE MATTERS DISCUSSED UNDER "RISK FACTORS,"
INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:
 
  . Dependence upon rental payments from the Lessees for substantially all of
    the Company's income, including risks related to the ability of the
    Lessees to make rent payments sufficient to permit the Company to make
    distributions to its shareholders, the failure or delay in making rent
    payments, the failure to effectively manage the Hotels and to meet the
    obligations under the franchise agreements, and the limited operating
    history of the Lessees.
 
  . Dependence upon the ability of the Lessees and the Operators to manage
    substantially all of the Hotels and the fact that, because of REIT
    qualification requirements, the Company will have only limited approval
    rights with respect to the engagement of future managers of the Hotels.
 
  . Risks associated with the Company's acquisition of a substantial number
    of additional hotels since the Initial Offering.
 
  . Risks normally associated with debt financing, including the fact that
    there is no limitation on the amount of indebtedness that may be incurred
    by the Company, and the risk that the Company will not be able to meet
    its debt service obligations, and to the extent that it cannot, the risk
    that the Company will lose all or some of its assets.
 
  . Risks associated with the Company's ownership of Hotels through
    subsidiaries.
 
  . Potential conflicts of interest between the Company and certain of its
    officers and directors related to adverse tax consequences to certain of
    the Company's officers and directors upon the sale of certain of the
    Hotels, which could lead to decisions with respect to the disposition or
    refinancing of such Hotels that do not reflect solely the interests of
    the Company's shareholders.
 
  . Risks affecting the hotel industry generally, and the Hotels
    specifically, including competition for guests, increases in operating
    costs due to inflation and other factors, dependence on business and
    commercial travelers and tourism, increases in energy costs and other
    expenses of travel, seasonality and the need for future expenditures for
    capital improvements and for replacement of F, F & E in excess of
    budgeted amounts, all of which could have a material adverse effect on
    the Company's Cash Available for Distribution. Cash Available for
    Distribution means funds from operations adjusted for certain non-cash
    items, less reserves for capital expenditures.
 
  . Risks affecting the real estate market generally, including economic and
    other conditions that may adversely affect real estate investments,
    including the Hotels, and the Lessees' ability to make rent payments from
    the operations of the Hotels, relative illiquidity of real estate,
    increases in taxes caused by increased assessed values or property tax
    rates, and potential liabilities, including liabilities for unknown or
    future environmental problems, all of which could have a material adverse
    effect on Cash Available for Distribution.
 
  . Tax risks, including taxation of the Company as a corporation if it fails
    to qualify as a REIT, and taxation of the Operating Partnership as a
    corporation if it were deemed not to be a partnership and the Company's
    liability for federal and state taxes on its income in either such event,
    which could have a material adverse effect on Cash Available for
    Distribution.
 
  . Potential loss of franchise licenses relating to the franchised Hotels
    and varying capital requirements of franchisors that may affect the value
    of the Hotels.
 
  . The restriction on ownership of shares of Common Stock intended to insure
    compliance with certain requirements related to continued qualification
    of the Company as a REIT, and certain other provisions in the Company's
    Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, which may have the effect of
    inhibiting a change in control of the Company even where such a change of
    control could be beneficial to the Company's shareholders.

                    THE HOTELS AND THE PROPOSED ACQUISITIONS
   
  The Hotels are diversified by franchise or brand affiliation and product
type, including 27 full service hotels, 5 limited service hotels and an
executive conference center. The Company believes the diversity of its
portfolio moderates the potential effects on the Company of changes in local
market competition or developments affecting specific franchises, hotel markets
or price segments in the hotel industry. The Hotels are located primarily in
major metropolitan areas with convenient access to interstate highways,
commercial airports and other transportation facilities, local business centers
and tourist attractions. The Company's acquisition activities are focused on
full service hotels serving major U.S. business centers and primary tourist
destinations.     
 
  Consistent with the Company's acquisition strategy, the Proposed Acquisitions
consist of seven full service hotels, all of which are located in major
metropolitan areas, including the Company's first full service hotel
acquisitions in the metropolitan New York and Chicago areas.
 
  The tables on the following pages set forth certain information with respect
to the Hotels and the Proposed Acquisitions.

(1) The Company defines a renovation as a significant upgrade of guest rooms or
    common areas with capital expenditures averaging at least $1,000 per guest
    room for limited service hotels and at least $1,500 per guest room for full
    service hotels and conference centers. In some cases, renovations occurred
    over more than one calendar year. Year renovated reflects the calendar year
    in which the most recent of such renovations were completed. Information on
    renovations for Recent Acquisitions and Proposed Acquisitions was provided
    by prior owners.     
   
(2) Under the terms of the Participating Leases, Lessees are obligated to pay
    the greater of Base Rent or Participating Rent, plus certain additional
    amounts ("Additional Charges") which vary with the Participating Lease.
           
(3) The Company calculates Average Occupancy based upon total number of paid
    rooms (excluding rooms for which no charge has been made) divided by the
    total number of available rooms. Average Daily Rate is calculated using
    paid occupied rooms.     
   
(4) REVPAR is determined by dividing room revenue by available rooms for the
    applicable period.     
   
(5) This Hotel secures the Line of Credit.     
   
(6) The Company intends to increase the room count at this Hotel to 322 rooms
    in connection with a planned $8.5 million renovation. At present, only 283
    of the 288 rooms are utilized as guest rooms.     
   
(7) This Hotel currently contains unused restaurant space. The Company intends
    to complete the build out of a restaurant in this space, thereby converting
    the Hotel from a limited service to a full service property.     
   
(8) It is anticipated that this hotel will secure the Line of Credit.     
   
(9) The Crowne Plaza Ravinia is not leased. The Company's share of net income
    and share of funds from operations (as hereafter defined) from PAH Ravinia
    were $3,912,000 and $5,822,000, respectively, on a pro forma basis for the
    twelve months ended March 31, 1996.

                         THE LESSEES AND THE OPERATORS
   
  The Company leases each of the Hotels, except the Crowne Plaza Ravinia, to a
Lessee. The current Lessees are CHC Lease Partners, an entity owned by CHC
International, Inc. ("CHC") and a principal of the Gencom Group ("Gencom"),
Metro Lease Partners, an affiliate of Metro Hotels, NorthCoast, an entity owned
by a consortium of investors including principals of WestCoast Hotels and
Sunmakers, and the Doubletree Lessee, a subsidiary of Doubletree Hotels. Upon
the acquisition of the Wyndham Portfolio, the Company also intends to lease
such hotels to the Wyndham Lessee, an entity to be formed by members of the
Trammell Crow family. See "Developments Since the Initial Offering--Proposed
Acquisitions."     
 
  CHC Lease Partners. CHC Lease Partners leases the Initial Hotels, the Tremont
House Hotel, the Holiday Inn Lenox, and the Del Mar Hilton from the Company
pursuant to separate Participating Leases that require CHC Lease Partners to
maintain a minimum net worth (the "Minimum Net Worth"), as defined, equal to
the greater of (i) $10 million or (ii) 17.5% of the initial projected annual
lease payments for all hotels leased by the Company to CHC Lease Partners. CHC
Lease Partners is owned by CHC and a principal of Gencom. CHC was formed in
1994 to succeed to the hotel and land-based casino businesses of the
Continental Companies and Carnival Corporation. As of March 31, 1996, CHC had
under management 36 hotels with approximately 9,400 rooms located primarily in
the United States, as well as in South America, the Caribbean, Mexico and the
Bahamas. Gencom's hotel management affiliate, GAH, has been among the fastest
growing hotel management companies in the United States in recent years, having
increased its number of guest rooms under management from approximately 1,600
at December 31, 1992 to approximately 8,600 at March 31, 1996. Specializing in
full service properties, GAH manages 35 hotels throughout the United States.
Although CHC owns 50% of GAH, CHC's hotels and rooms under management presented
above exclude hotels managed by GAH.
 
  CHC Lease Partners has contracted with hotel management subsidiaries of CHC
and GAH to manage the Tremont House Hotel, the Holiday Inn Lenox, the Del Mar
Hilton and 19 of the 20 Initial Hotels. In addition, CHC Lease Partners has
contracted with Metro Hotels to manage the Holiday Inn Select North Dallas.
 
  Metro Lease Partners. The Company leases the Embassy Suites, Hunt Valley to
Metro Lease Partners under a Participating Lease which requires Metro Lease
Partners to maintain a minimum net worth of $515,000, which represents
approximately 25% of estimated Participating Rent for this Hotel in 1996. Metro
Lease Partners has contracted with its affiliate Metro Hotels to manage the
Embassy Suites, Hunt Valley. Metro Lease Partners and Metro Hotels are Dallas-
based hotel companies owned by Walker Harman. As of April 30, 1996, Metro
Hotels had 12 hotels under management with approximately 2,400 rooms located
throughout the United States.
 
  NorthCoast. The Company leases each of the six Hotels in the WestCoast
Portfolio and the Hyatt Regency, Lexington to NorthCoast under separate
Participating Leases which require NorthCoast to maintain a minimum net worth
equal to the greater of approximately $2.9 million or 20% of current year's
budgeted lease payments. NorthCoast is a Seattle-based company owned by a
consortium of investors including principals of WestCoast Hotels and Sunmakers.
As of April 30, 1996, WestCoast Hotels had 20 hotels under management with
approximately 4,100 rooms located primarily on the Pacific Coast.
   
  Doubletree Lessee. The Company leases the Doubletree Denver/Boulder to the
Doubletree Lessee under a Participating Lease that requires the Doubletree
Lessee to maintain a minimum net worth equal to the greater of $400,000 or 20%
of the current year's budgeted lease payments. The Doubletree Lessee is a
subsidiary of Doubletree Hotels, a subsidiary of Doubletree Corporation. The
Doubletree Lessee has contracted with DTM Management Inc., also a subsidiary of
Doubletree Hotels, to manage the Doubletree Denver/Boulder. As of December 31,
1995, Doubletree Corporation managed or franchised 116 hotels with an aggregate
of 30,615 rooms in 32 states, the District of Columbia and Mexico.     
   
  Wyndham Lessee. Upon completion of the acquisition of the Wyndham Portfolio,
the Company intends to lease the Wyndham Portfolio to the Wyndham Lessee, an
entity to be formed by members of the Trammell Crow     
 
                                       10

family, under Participating Leases that will require the Wyndham Lessee to
maintain a minimum net worth equal to the greater of $3 million or 20% of the
current year's budgeted lease payments for the hotels in the Wyndham Portfolio
(such percentage being subject to adjustment if the parties enter into leases
for additional hotels). The Wyndham Lessee will contract with Wyndham Hotels
Corporation ("Wyndham") to manage each of the hotels in the Wyndham Portfolio.
At June 25, 1996, Wyndham's portfolio consisted of 65 hotels operated by
Wyndham, 3 franchised hotels and 3 hotels under renovation or construction for
a total of 18,484 rooms located in 22 states, the District of Columbia, and the
Caribbean.     
   
  Holiday Inns, Inc. The Crowne Plaza Ravinia is managed for PAH Ravinia by
Holiday Inns, Inc.     
 
  While each Lessee's ability to make lease payments under the applicable
Participating Lease is dependent primarily upon its ability to generate
sufficient cash flow from the operation of the Hotels that it leases, the
minimum net worth requirements are designed to provide a source of funds to
make such payments and to fund operational shortfalls if operating cash flow is
inadequate. The Participating Leases have been negotiated on an arms length
basis. The Participating Leases with CHC Lease Partners contain cross-default
provisions. The Participating Leases with NorthCoast (except the Hyatt Regency,
Lexington) also contain cross-default provisions. The Company intends to
utilize similar cross default provisions when leasing multiple properties to a
single Lessee in the future. The Participating Leases have an average term of
approximately eleven years, with expiration dates staggered between the years
2005 and 2008, subject to earlier termination upon the occurrence of certain
events. See "The Hotels--Participating Leases--Lessee Capitalization" and "The
Lessees and the Operators."
 
             FORMATION TRANSACTIONS AND BENEFITS TO RELATED PARTIES
 
  The Company was formed to continue and expand the hotel acquisition,
ownership, redevelopment and repositioning businesses of Patriot American.
Certain investors in the entities that owned the Hotels acquired by the Company
in connection with the Initial Offering, including members of management,
received certain benefits in connection with the Initial Offering and the
transactions described in this Prospectus under "Formation Transactions" (the
"Formation Transactions").
 
                              DISTRIBUTION POLICY
   
  The Board of Directors of the Company has declared a quarterly distribution
of $0.48 per share of Common Stock ($1.92 per share on an annualized basis)
payable on July 30, 1996 to shareholders of record on June 27, 1996. Future
distributions by the Company will be at the discretion of the Board of
Directors and there can be no assurance that any such distributions will be
made by the Company. Distributions by the Company to the extent of its current
and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes generally
will be taxable to stockholders as ordinary dividend income. Distributions in
excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will be treated as a
non-taxable reduction of the stockholder's basis in its shares of Common Stock
to the extent thereof, and thereafter as taxable gain. Distributions that are
treated as a reduction of the stockholder's basis in its shares of Common Stock
will have the effect of deferring taxation until the sale of the stockholder's
shares. The Company has determined that, for federal income tax purposes,
approximately 26% of the $0.48 per share distribution paid for 1995 represented
a return of capital to the stockholders. Given the dynamic nature of the
Company's acquisition strategy and the extent to which any future acquisitions
would alter this calculation, no assurances can be given regarding what percent
of future distributions will constitute return of capital for federal income
tax purposes.

<PAGE>
 
 
                                   TAX STATUS
 
  The Company will elect to be taxed as a REIT under sections 856 through 860
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), commencing with
its taxable year ending December 31, 1995. With certain exceptions, as a REIT,
the Company is not subject to federal income tax at the corporate level on its
taxable income that is distributed to its shareholders. A REIT is subject to a
number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement
that it currently distribute at least 95% of its taxable income. Failure to
qualify as a REIT would render the Company subject to federal income tax
(including any applicable minimum tax) on its taxable income at regular
corporate rates, and distributions to the shareholders in any such year will
not be deductible by the Company. Although the Company does not intend to
request a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the "Service") as to its
REIT status, the Company will receive at the closing of the Offering the
opinion of its legal counsel as to its REIT status, which opinion will be based
on certain assumptions and representations and will not be binding on the
Service or any court. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT,
however, the Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its
income and property. In connection with the Company's election to be taxed as a
REIT, the Company's Articles of Incorporation impose restrictions on the
transfer of shares of Common Stock. The Company has adopted the calendar year
as its taxable year. See "Risk Factors--Tax Risks," "Risk Factors--Limitation
on Acquisition and Change in Control," "Federal Income Tax Considerations--
Taxation of the Company," "Federal Income Tax Consequences--State and Local
Taxes," and "Description of Capital Stock--Articles of Incorporation and Bylaw
Provisions--Restrictions on Transfer."

  The following tables set forth historical and pro forma financial information
for the Company and the Lessees, and should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto which are contained elsewhere in this
Prospectus. The pro forma operating information is presented as if the Initial
Offering, Recent Acquisitions, Private Placement, acquisition of the Wyndham
Portfolio and the current Offering had occurred at January 1, 1995 and is
carried forward through each period presented, and therefore incorporates
certain assumptions that are included in the Notes to the Pro Forma Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Operations included elsewhere in this Prospectus.
The pro forma balance sheet data is presented as if the acquisition of certain
of the Recent Acquisitions and the Wyndham Portfolio and the application of the
proceeds of the Private Placement and the current Offering had occurred on
March 31, 1996.

NOTES TO SUMMARY FINANCIAL INFORMATION
   
(1) The pro forma information does not purport to represent what the Company's
    financial position or the Company's or the Lessees' results of operations
    actually would have been if the Initial Offering, Recent Acquisitions,
    Private Placement, acquisition of the Wyndham Portfolio and the current
    Offering in fact occurred on such date or at the beginning of the periods
    indicated, or to project the Company's or Lessees' results of operations
    for any future periods.     
(2) With respect to the pro forma information, represents participating lease
    payments from the Lessees to the Operating Partnership calculated on a pro
    forma basis by applying the provisions of the Participating Leases to the
    historical revenue of the Hotels as if January 1, 1995 were the beginning
    of a lease year.
   
(3) Pro forma operating results do not include the effect of extraordinary
    items reported on an historical basis.     
(4) Pro forma cash provided by operating activities represents income before
    income allocable to minority interest, plus depreciation and amortization
    (including amortization of unearned management stock compensation) less the
    non-cash portion of the Company's equity in earnings of unconsolidated
    subsidiary. The pro forma amounts do not include adjustments from changes
    in working capital resulting from changes in current assets and current
    liabilities as there is no historical data available as of both the
    beginning and end of each period presented.
(5) On a pro forma basis, cash used in investing activities represents the
    approximate 4.0% of hotel revenue which is required to be reserved under
    the terms of the Participating Leases for capital improvements and the
    replacement and refurbishment of F, F & E.
   
(6) Pro forma cash used in financing activities represents estimated dividends
    and distributions to be paid based on the Company's initial annual dividend
    rate of $1.92 per share and an aggregate of 23,318,865 shares of Common
    Stock and OP Units outstanding and $1.98 per share on the 662,391 Preferred
    OP Units outstanding.     
(7) In accordance with the resolution adopted by the Board of Governors of the
    National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. ("NAREIT"),
    funds from operations represents net income (loss) (computed in accordance
    with generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains (or losses)
    from debt restructuring or sales of property, plus depreciation of real
    property, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint
    ventures. Funds from operations should not be considered as an alternative
    to net income or other measurements under generally accepted accounting
    principles as an indicator of operating performance or to cash flows from
    operating, investing or financing activities as a measure of liquidity.
    Funds from operations does not reflect working capital changes, cash
    expenditures for capital improvements or principal payments on
    indebtedness. Under the Participating Leases, the Company is obligated to
    establish a reserve for capital improvements at the Hotels (including the
    replacement or refurbishment of F, F & E) and to pay real estate and
    personal property taxes and casualty insurance. The Company believes that
    funds from operations is helpful to investors as a measure of the
    performance of an equity REIT, because, along with cash flows from
    operating activities, financing activities and investing activities, it
    provides investors with an understanding of the ability of the Company to
    incur and service debt and make capital expenditures.
(8) Cash Available for Distribution represents funds from operations, as
    adjusted for certain non-cash items (e.g., non-real estate related
    depreciation and amortization), less reserves for capital expenditures.
   
(9) Historical Lessee expenses represent management fees paid to the Operators
    and Lessee overhead expenses, net of dividend and interest income earned by
    the Lessees. Management fees paid to the Operators are subordinate to the
    Lessees' obligations to the Company under the Participating Lease
    agreements. Pro forma Lessee net income excludes pro forma dividends on
    approximately 300,000 OP Units, which form a portion of the required
    capitalization of certain of the Lessees and pro forma interest income
    associated with the Lessees' working capital balances.

                                 RISK FACTORS
 
  Prospective investors should carefully consider the following information in
conjunction with the other information contained in this Prospectus before
purchasing Common Stock in the Offering.
 
DEPENDENCE ON LESSEES AND PAYMENTS UNDER THE PARTICIPATING LEASES
 
  The Company's ability to make distributions to shareholders depends almost
exclusively upon the ability of the Lessees to make rent payments under the
Participating Leases (which is dependent primarily on the Lessees' ability to
generate sufficient revenues from the Hotels). Any failure or delay by the
Lessees in making rent payments may adversely affect the Company's ability to
make anticipated distributions to shareholders. Such failure or delay may be
caused by reductions in revenue from the Hotels or in the net operating income
of the Lessees or otherwise. Although failure on the part of the Lessees to
materially comply with the terms of a Participating Lease would give the
Company the right to terminate such lease, repossess the applicable property
and seek enforcement of the payment obligations under the lease, the Company
would then be required to find another lessee to lease such property. There
can be no assurance that the Company would be able to find another lessee or
that, if another lessee were found, the Company would be able to enter into a
new lease on favorable terms.
 
LACK OF CONTROL OVER OPERATIONS OF THE HOTELS
 
  The Company also is dependent on the ability of the Lessees and the
Operators to manage the Hotels. To maintain its status as a REIT, the Company
is not able to operate the Hotels or any subsequently acquired properties. As
a result, the Company will be unable to directly implement strategic business
decisions with respect to the marketing of its properties, such as decisions
with respect to the setting of room rates, repositioning of a franchise,
redevelopment of food and beverage operations and certain similar decisions.
 
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE COMPANY'S ACQUISITION OF A SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF
ADDITIONAL HOTELS
   
  The Company is currently experiencing a period of rapid growth. Since the
Initial Offering, the Company has invested approximately $216 million in
hotels, increasing its room portfolio by approximately 79%. Additionally, the
Company has entered into contracts and a letter of intent to purchase the
Proposed Acquisitions for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $145
million. Assuming completion of the Proposed Acquisitions, the Company will
have increased its rooms portfolio by approximately 127% since the Initial
Offering. The Company's ability to manage its growth effectively will require
it to select Lessees and Operators to lease and manage newly acquired hotels.
There can be no assurance that the Company, the Lessees, or the Operators will
be able to manage these additional operations effectively.     
 
RISKS OF LEVERAGE; NO LIMITS ON INDEBTEDNESS
 
 GENERAL
   
  Neither the Company's Bylaws nor its Articles of Incorporation limit the
amount of indebtedness the Company may incur. During 1996, the maximum amount
available under the Line of Credit was increased. The Company has utilized the
Line of Credit to finance certain of the Recent Acquisitions and may use the
Line of Credit to fund the acquisition of additional hotels. The Line of
Credit is currently secured by a first mortgage lien on 23 of the Hotels and
will be secured by qualifying subsequently acquired hotels that are purchased
with borrowings under the Line of Credit. The Company currently anticipates
that the Doubletree Denver/Boulder and the Wyndham Portfolio will also secure
the Line of Credit. Other Hotels may be added as security for the Line of
Credit depending upon the outstanding balances thereunder. Subject to the
limitations described above, the Company may borrow additional amounts from
the same or other lenders in the future, or may issue corporate debt
securities in public or private offerings. Certain of such additional
borrowings may be secured by properties owned by the Company. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources," "Policies and Objectives with
Respect to Certain Activities--Financing" and "Management."     
 
                                      16
<PAGE>
 
  There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to meet its debt
service obligations and, to the extent that it cannot, the Company risks the
loss of some or all of its assets, including the Hotels, to foreclosure.
Adverse economic conditions could cause the terms on which borrowings become
available to be unfavorable. In such circumstances, if the Company is in need
of capital to repay indebtedness in accordance with its terms or otherwise, it
could be required to liquidate one or more investments in hotel properties at
times which may not permit realization of the maximum return on such
investments.
 
 VARIABLE RATE DEBT
 
  The Line of Credit bears interest at a variable rate. Economic conditions
could result in higher interest rates, which could increase debt service
requirements on variable rate debt and could reduce the amount of Cash
Available for Distribution.
 
POSSIBLE ADVERSE EFFECTS OF SHARES AVAILABLE FOR FUTURE SALE UPON MARKET PRICE
OF COMMON STOCK
   
  Sales of substantial amounts of Common Stock or the perception that such
sales could occur, could adversely affect the prevailing market price for the
Common Stock. The Company has issued an aggregate of 62,255 shares of Common
Stock to certain officers and directors of the Company in connection with the
Initial Offering and pursuant to the Non-Employee Directors' Incentive Plan.
In addition to OP Units issued to the Company, the Operating Partnership has
outstanding an aggregate of 3,485,292 OP Units, including an aggregate of
498,589 OP Units issued in connection with the acquisition of the Holiday Inn
Lenox and the WestCoast Portfolio, and 662,391 Preferred OP Units issued in
the Private Placement. The Company intends to issue OP Units with a value of
approximately $500,000 (estimated to be 17,316 OP Units) in connection with
the acquisition of the Wyndham Portfolio. In the future, the Company may
acquire additional hotels through the issuance of OP Units. OP Units (other
than Preferred OP Units) may be redeemed for cash (or, at the Company's
election, the Company may purchase each OP Unit offered for redemption for one
share of Common Stock). Preferred OP Units may be exchanged for shares of
Common Stock under certain circumstances. See "Developments Since the Initial
Offering--Financing Activities." The Patriot American Hospitality Partnership,
L.P. Partnership Agreement (the "Partnership Agreement") prohibits the
redemption of OP Units until October 2, 1996. In addition, the officers and
directors of the Company and certain other persons have agreed (the "Lock-up
Agreements"), subject to certain limited exceptions, not to offer, sell,
contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock (or any
securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock)
received in connection with the Initial Offering for periods ranging from one
to two years after the date of the Initial Offering (the "Lock-up Periods"),
without the prior written consent of PaineWebber Incorporated. The Company has
restricted the transfer of OP Units issued in connection with the acquisition
of the Holiday Inn Lenox and the WestCoast Portfolio for one year from the
date of issuance and may similarly restrict the transfer of OP Units issued in
connection with the acquisition of additional hotels. At the conclusion of
these restrictions, all shares of Common Stock issued in connection with the
formation of the Company or acquired upon redemption of OP Units may be sold
in the public market. In addition, 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock are
reserved for issuance pursuant to the Patriot American Hospitality, Inc. 1995
Incentive Plan (the "1995 Plan"). See "Management--Stock Incentive Plans."
    
RISK OF INVESTMENT IN SUBSIDIARIES
 
  The capital stock of PAH Ravinia is divided into two classes: voting common
stock, 96% of which is owned by officers and/or directors of PAH Ravinia and
4% of which is held by the Operating Partnership, and nonvoting common stock,
100% of which is held by the Operating Partnership. Management's voting common
stock represents 0.96% of the economic interest in PAH Ravinia. However, as
the holders of 96% of the voting common stock, members of PAH Ravinia
management retain the ability to elect the directors of PAH Ravinia. Although
the Company's stock ownership represents a 99.04% economic interest in PAH
Ravinia, the Company is not able to elect directors and its ability to
influence the day-to-day decisions of PAH Ravinia may therefore be limited. As
a result, the directors and management of PAH Ravinia may implement business
policy decisions that would not have been implemented by persons controlled by
the Company and that are adverse to the interests of the Company or that lead
to adverse financial results.
 
 
                                      17
<PAGE>
 
LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY
   
  The Company has been recently organized and has a limited operating history.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to generate sufficient
revenue from operations to make distributions to shareholders. The Company
also is subject to the risks generally associated with the formation of any
new business. The Initial Hotels, on a combined basis, experienced net losses
in 1992 and 1994. In addition, certain of the Recent Acquisitions and Proposed
Acquisitions have experienced historical net losses. There can be no assurance
that the Company will not experience net losses in the future.     
 
COMPETITION FOR MANAGEMENT TIME
 
  Mr. Nussbaum, the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the
Company, will continue to act as chief executive officer of Patriot American,
and, therefore, will be subject to competing demands on his time. Mr. Nussbaum
intends to devote a majority of his time to the business of the Company.
 
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
 
 SALE OF HOTELS
 
  Certain officers and directors of the Company or their affiliates may have
had unrealized gain in their interests in certain of the Initial Hotels
transferred to the Company in connection with the Initial Offering. The sale
of such Hotels by the Company may cause adverse tax consequences to such
officers, directors or their affiliates. Therefore, the interests of the
Company, such officers, directors and their affiliates could be different in
connection with the disposition of such Hotels.
 
 CONTINUING ACQUISITIONS AND HOTEL DEVELOPMENT
 
  Affiliates of the Lessees may acquire, develop or manage hotels that compete
with the Company's Hotels. Accordingly, the Lessees' decisions relating to the
operation of the Hotels that are in competition with other hotels owned or
managed by them may not reflect the interests of the Company.
 
HOTEL INDUSTRY RISKS
 
 OPERATING RISKS
 
  The Hotels are subject to all operating risks common to the hotel industry.
These risks include, among other things, (i) competition for guests from other
hotels, a number of which may have greater marketing and financial resources
than the Company and the Lessees; (ii) increases in operating costs due to
inflation and other factors, which increases may not have been offset in
recent years, and may not be offset in the future by increased room rates;
(iii) dependence on business and commercial travelers and tourism, which
business may fluctuate and be seasonal; (iv) increases in energy costs and
other expenses of travel, which may deter travelers; and (v) adverse effects
of general and local economic conditions. These factors could adversely affect
the Lessees' ability to generate revenues and to make lease payments and
therefore the Company's ability to make expected distributions to
shareholders.
 
  The Company is also subject to the risk that in connection with the
acquisition of hotels it may not be possible to transfer certain operating
licenses, such as food and beverage licenses, to the Lessees or Operators, or
to obtain new licenses in a timely manner in the event such licenses cannot be
transferred. For example, the Lessees are currently attempting to obtain new
alcoholic beverage licenses for the Tremont House Hotel, the Marriot Troy
Hotel and the Four Points by Sheraton in Saginaw, Michigan. Although these
Hotels are providing alcoholic beverages under interim licenses or licenses
obtained prior to the Company's acquisition of these Hotels, there can be no
assurance that these licenses will remain in effect until the Company obtains
new licenses or that new licenses will be obtained. The failure to have
alcoholic beverages licenses or other operating licenses could adversely
affect the ability of the affected Lessees to generate revenues and make lease
payments to the Company.
 
 OPERATING COSTS AND CAPITAL EXPENDITURES; HOTEL RENOVATION
 
  Hotels in general, including the Hotels, have an ongoing need for
renovations and other capital improvements, particularly in older structures,
including periodic replacement or refurbishment of F, F & E.
 
                                      18

Under the terms of the Participating Leases, the Company is obligated to
establish a reserve to pay the cost of certain capital expenditures at the
Hotels and pay for periodic replacement or refurbishment of F, F & E and
expects to be similarly obligated with respect to the Proposed Acquisitions.
However, if capital expenditures exceed the Company's expectations, the
additional cost could have an adverse effect on the Company's Cash Available
for Distribution. In addition, the Company has and may continue to acquire
hotels where significant renovation is either required or desirable.
Renovation of hotels involves certain risks, including the possibility of
environmental problems, construction cost overruns and delays, uncertainties
as to market demand or deterioration in market demand after commencement of
renovation and the emergence of unanticipated competition from other hotels.
 
 COMPETITION FOR INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES
 
  The Company may be competing for investment opportunities with entities that
have substantially greater financial resources than the Company. These
entities may generally be able to accept more risk than the Company can
prudently manage, including risks with respect to the creditworthiness of a
hotel operator or the geographic proximity of its investments. Competition may
generally reduce the number of suitable investment opportunities offered to
the Company and increase the bargaining power of property owners seeking to
sell.
 
 SEASONALITY
 
  The hotel industry is seasonal in nature. Revenues at certain of the Hotels
are greater in the first and second quarters of a calendar year and at other
of the Hotels in the second and third quarters of a calendar year. Seasonal
variations in revenue at the Hotels may cause quarterly fluctuations in the
Company's lease revenue.
 
 INVESTMENT IN SINGLE INDUSTRY
 
  The Company's current strategy is to acquire interests only in hotels and
related properties. As a result, the Company will be subject to risks inherent
in investments in a single industry. The effects on Cash Available for
Distribution to the Company's shareholders resulting from a downturn in the
hotel industry will be more pronounced than if the Company had diversified its
investments.
 
REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT RISKS
 
 GENERAL RISKS
 
  The Company's investments are subject to varying degrees of risk generally
incident to the ownership of real property. The underlying value of the
Company's real estate investments and the Company's income and ability to make
distributions to its shareholders is dependent upon the ability of the Lessees
to operate the Hotels in a manner sufficient to maintain or increase revenues
and to generate sufficient income in excess of operating expenses to make rent
payments under the Participating Leases. Income from the Hotels may be
adversely affected by changes in national economic conditions, changes in
local market conditions due to changes in general or local economic conditions
and neighborhood characteristics, changes in interest rates and in the
availability, cost and terms of mortgage funds, the impact of present or
future environmental legislation and compliance with environmental laws, the
ongoing need for capital improvements, particularly in older structures,
changes in real estate tax rates and other operating expenses, adverse changes
in governmental rules and fiscal policies, civil unrest, acts of God,
including earthquakes and other natural disasters (which may result in
uninsured losses), acts of war, adverse changes in zoning laws, and other
factors which are beyond the control of the Company.
 
 VALUE AND ILLIQUIDITY OF REAL ESTATE
 
  Real estate investments are relatively illiquid. The ability of the Company
to vary its portfolio in response to changes in economic and other conditions
is limited. If the Company must sell an investment, there can be no assurance
that the Company will be able to dispose of it in the time period it desires
or that the sales price of any investment will recoup or exceed the amount of
the Company's investment.
 
 PROPERTY TAXES
 
  Each Hotel is subject to real property taxes. The real property taxes on
hotel properties in which the Company invests may increase or decrease as
property tax rates change and as the properties are assessed or reassessed by
taxing authorities. If property taxes increase, the Company's ability to make
expected distributions to its shareholders could be adversely affected.
 
                                      19

 CONSENTS OF GROUND LESSOR REQUIRED FOR SALE OF CERTAIN HOTELS
 
  The Fairmount Hotel, the Holiday Inn Lenox, the Hyatt Newporter Hotel, the
WestCoast Long Beach Hotel and Marina and the Hyatt Regency, Lexington are
subject to ground leases with third party lessors. In addition, the Company
may acquire hotels in the future that are subject to ground leases. Any
proposed sale of a hotel that is subject to a ground lease by the Operating
Partnership or any proposed assignment of the Operating Partnership's
leasehold interest in the ground lease may require the consent of third party
lessors. As a result, the Company and the Operating Partnership may not be
able to sell, assign, transfer or convey the Operating Partnership's interest
in any such hotel in the future absent the consent of such third parties, even
if such transaction may be in the best interests of the shareholders of the
Company.
 
 ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
 
  The Company's operating costs may be affected by the obligation to pay for
the cost of complying with existing environmental laws, ordinances and
regulations, as well as the cost of complying with future legislation. Under
various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and
regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real property may be
liable for the costs of removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic
substances on, under or in such property. Such laws often impose liability
whether or not the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the
presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. In addition, the presence of
hazardous or toxic substances, or the failure to remediate such property
properly, may adversely affect the owner's ability to borrow by using such
real property as collateral. Persons who arrange for the transportation,
disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances may also be liable for
the costs of removal or remediation of such substances at the disposal or
treatment facility, whether or not such facility is or ever was owned or
operated by such person. Certain environmental laws and common law principles
could be used to impose liability for releases of hazardous materials,
including asbestos-containing materials ("ACMs"), into the environment, and
third parties may seek recovery from owners or operators of real properties
for personal injury associated with exposure to released ACMs or other
hazardous materials. Environmental laws may also impose restrictions on the
manner in which a property may be used or transferred or in which businesses
may be operated, and these restrictions may require expenditures. In
connection with the ownership and operation of the Hotels, the Company, the
Operating Partnership or the Lessees may be potentially liable for any such
costs. The cost of defending against claims of liability or remediating
contaminated property and the cost of complying with environmental laws could
materially adversely affect the Company's results of operations and financial
condition. Phase I environmental site assessments ("ESAs") have been conducted
at all of the Hotels by qualified independent environmental engineers. The
purpose of Phase I ESAs is to identify potential sources of contamination for
which the Hotels may be responsible and to assess the status of environmental
regulatory compliance. The ESAs have not revealed any environmental liability
or compliance concerns that the Company believes would have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, assets, results of operations or liquidity,
nor is the Company aware of any such liability or concerns. Nevertheless, it
is possible that these ESAs did not reveal all environmental liabilities or
compliance concerns or that material environmental liabilities or compliance
concerns exist of which the Company is currently unaware. The Company has not
been notified by any governmental authority, and has no other knowledge of,
any material noncompliance, liability or claim relating to hazardous or toxic
substances or other environmental substances in connection with any of its
hotels, except as noted below.
 
  Marriott WindWatch Hotel. The Marriott WindWatch Hotel, a Proposed
Acquisition, is in close proximity to a former municipal landfill, which has
been designated as a National Priorities List ("NPL") site by the United
States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA"). The Hotel property is
downgradient of the NPL site. An environmental consultant retained by the
Company has informed the Company that the current data relating to the NPL
site do not suggest any groundwater contamination from the former landfill has
migrated onto the Hotel property. The environmental consultant has also
informed the Company that it is unlikely that any groundwater contamination
from the former landfill will in the future migrate onto the hotel property
resulting in contaminant levels above applicable action levels. Remediation
activities by the municipality, under the supervision of the EPA and the New
York State Department of Environmental Conservation ("DEC"), are ongoing but
have not yet been completed. The DEC has indicated that it does not intend to
pursue as potentially responsible parties nearby landowners whose property
becomes contaminated as a result of off-site migration from the former
landfill.
 
                                      20

 COMPLIANCE WITH AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT
 
  Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (the "ADA"), all public
accommodations are required to meet certain federal requirements related to
access and use by disabled persons. A determination that the Company is not in
compliance with the ADA could result in the imposition of fines or an award of
damages to private litigants. If the Company were required to make
modifications to comply with the ADA, the Company's ability to make expected
distributions to its shareholders could be adversely affected.
 
 UNINSURED AND UNDERINSURED LOSSES
 
  Each Participating Lease specifies comprehensive insurance to be maintained
on each of the Hotels, including liability, fire and extended coverage.
Management believes such specified coverage is of the type and amount
customarily obtained for or by an owner of hotels. Leases for subsequently
acquired hotels will contain similar provisions. However, there are certain
types of losses, generally of a catastrophic nature, such as earthquakes and
floods, that may be uninsurable or not economically insurable. The Company's
Board of Directors and management will use their discretion in determining
amounts, coverage limits and deductibility provisions of insurance, with a
view to maintaining appropriate insurance coverage on the Company's
investments at a reasonable cost and on suitable terms. This may result in
insurance coverage that, in the event of a substantial loss, would not be
sufficient to pay the full current market value or current replacement cost of
the Company's lost investment. Inflation, changes in building codes and
ordinances, environmental considerations, and other factors also might make it
infeasible to use insurance proceeds to replace the property after such
property has been damaged or destroyed. Under such circumstances, the
insurance proceeds received by the Company might not be adequate to restore
its economic position with respect to such property.
 
 ACQUISITION AND DEVELOPMENT RISKS
 
  The Company intends to pursue acquisitions of additional hotels and, under
appropriate circumstances, may pursue development opportunities. Acquisitions
entail risks that investments will fail to perform in accordance with
expectations and that estimates of the cost of improvements necessary to
market and acquire properties will prove inaccurate, as well as general
investment risks associated with any new real estate investment. New project
development is subject to numerous risks, including risks of construction
delays or cost overruns that may increase project costs, new project
commencement risks such as receipt of zoning, occupancy and other required
governmental approvals and permits and the incurrence of development costs in
connection with projects that are not pursued to completion. The fact that the
Company must distribute 95% of its net taxable income in order to maintain its
qualification as a REIT may limit the Company's ability to rely upon lease
income from the Hotels or subsequently acquired properties to finance
acquisitions or new developments. As a result, if debt or equity financing
were not available on acceptable terms, further acquisitions or development
activities might be curtailed or Cash Available for Distribution might be
adversely affected.
 
TAX RISKS
 
 FAILURE TO QUALIFY AS A REIT
 
  The Company operates in a manner designed to permit it to qualify as a REIT
for federal income tax purposes. The continued qualification of the Company as
a REIT will depend on the Company's continuing ability to meet various
requirements concerning, among other things, the ownership of its outstanding
stock, the nature of its assets, the sources of its income, and the amount of
its distributions to its shareholders. If the Company were to fail to qualify
as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company would not be allowed a deduction
for distributions to shareholders in computing its taxable income and would be
subject to federal income tax (including any applicable minimum tax) on its
taxable income at regular corporate rates. Unless entitled to relief under
certain Code provisions, the Company also would be disqualified from treatment
as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which
qualification was lost. As a result, the Company's Cash Available for
Distribution would be reduced for each of the years involved. Although the
Company currently intends to continue to operate in a manner designed to
permit it to qualify as a REIT, it is possible that future economic, market,
legal, tax or other considerations may cause the Board of Directors to revoke
the REIT election. See "Federal Income Tax Considerations."
 
                                      21
<PAGE>
 
 ADVERSE EFFECTS OF REIT MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS
 
  In order to qualify as a REIT, the Company is generally required each year
to distribute to its shareholders at least 95% of its net taxable income
(excluding any net capital gain). In addition, the Company is subject to a 4%
nondeductible excise tax on the amount, if any, by which certain distributions
paid by it with respect to any calendar year are less than the sum of (i) 85%
of its ordinary income for that year, (ii) 95% of its capital gain net income
for that year and (iii) 100% of its undistributed income from prior years.
 
  The Company intends to make distributions to its shareholders to comply with
the 95% distribution requirement and to avoid the nondeductible excise tax.
The Company's income consists primarily of its share of the income of the
Operating Partnership, and the Company's Cash Available for Distribution
consists primarily of its share of cash distributions from the Operating
Partnership. Differences in timing between taxable income and Cash Available
for Distribution and the seasonality of the hotel industry could require the
Company to borrow funds on a short-term basis to meet the 95% distribution
requirement and to avoid the nondeductible excise tax. For federal income tax
purposes, distributions paid to shareholders may consist of ordinary income,
capital gains, nontaxable return of capital, or a combination thereof. The
Company provides its shareholders with an annual statement as to its
designation of the taxability of distributions.
 
  Distributions by the Company are determined by the Company's Board of
Directors and depend on a number of factors, including the amount of the
Company's Cash Available for Distribution, the Company's financial condition,
any decision by the Board of Directors to reinvest funds rather than to
distribute such funds, the Company's capital expenditures, the annual
distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Code and such other
factors as the Board of Directors deems relevant. See "Federal Income Tax
Considerations--Requirements for Qualification--Distribution Requirements."
 
 FAILURE OF THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP TO BE CLASSIFIED AS A PARTNERSHIP FOR
FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES; IMPACT ON REIT STATUS
 
  The Operating Partnership (and each of its Subsidiary Partnerships, as
defined in "Federal Income Tax Considerations") has been structured to be
classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. If the Operating
Partnership (or a Subsidiary Partnership) were to fail to be classified as a
partnership for federal income tax purposes, the Operating Partnership (or the
Subsidiary Partnership) would be taxable as a corporation. In such event, the
Company likely would cease to qualify as a REIT for a variety of reasons.
Furthermore, the imposition of a corporate income tax on the Operating
Partnership would reduce substantially the amount of Cash Available for
Distribution. See "Federal Income Tax Considerations--Tax Aspects of the
Operating Partnership and the Subsidiary Partnerships."
 
RISKS OF OPERATING HOTELS UNDER FRANCHISE OR BRAND AFFILIATIONS
   
  Twenty-nine of the Hotels are operated under franchise or brand
affiliations. In addition, hotels in which the Company invests subsequently
may be operated pursuant to franchise or brand affiliations. The continuation
of the franchise licenses relating to the franchised Hotels (the "Franchise
Licenses") is subject to specified operating standards and other terms and
conditions. The continued use of a brand is generally contingent upon the
continuation of the Management Agreement related to that Hotel with the
branded Operator. Franchisors typically inspect licensed properties
periodically to confirm adherence to operating standards. Action on the part
of any of the Company, the Operating Partnership, the Lessees or the Operators
could result in a breach of such standards or other terms and conditions of
the Franchise Licenses and could result in the loss or cancellation of a
franchise license. It is possible that a franchisor could condition the
continuation of a franchise license on the completion of capital improvements
which the Board of Directors determines are too expensive or otherwise
unwarranted in light of general economic conditions or the operating results
or prospects of the affected hotel. In that event, the Board of Directors may
elect to allow the franchise license to lapse. In any case, if a franchise or
brand affiliation is terminated, the Company and the Lessee may seek to obtain
a suitable replacement franchise or brand affiliation, or to operate the Hotel
independent of a franchise or brand affiliation. The loss of a franchise or
brand affiliation could have a material adverse effect upon the operations or
the underlying value of the hotel     
 
                                      22
<PAGE>
 
covered by the franchise or brand affiliation because of the loss of
associated name recognition, marketing support and centralized reservation
systems provided by the franchisor or brand owner.
 
LIMITATION ON ACQUISITION AND CHANGE IN CONTROL
 
 OWNERSHIP LIMITATION
   
  In order for the Company to maintain its qualification as a REIT, not more
than 50% in value of its outstanding capital stock may be owned, directly or
indirectly, by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Code to include
certain entities). Furthermore, if any shareholder or group of shareholders of
any Lessee owns, actually or constructively, 10% or more in value of the
capital stock of the Company, such Lessee could become a related party tenant
of the Operating Partnership, which would result in loss of REIT status for
the Company. For the purpose of preserving the Company's REIT qualification,
the Company's Articles of Incorporation prohibit direct or indirect ownership
(taking into account applicable ownership provisions of the Code) in excess of
the Ownership Limitation, subject to the Look-Through Ownership Limitation
that permits mutual funds and certain other entities to own as much as 15% of
a class of the Company's capital stock in appropriate circumstances.
Generally, the capital stock owned by affiliated owners is aggregated for
purposes of the Ownership Limitation. The Ownership Limitation could have the
effect of discouraging a takeover or other transaction in which holders of
some, or a majority, of the Common Stock might receive a premium for their
Common Stock over the then prevailing market price or in which such holders
might believe to be otherwise in their best interests. See "Description of
Capital Stock--Articles of Incorporation and Bylaw Provisions--Restrictions on
Transfer" and "Federal Income Tax Considerations--Requirements for
Qualification."     
 
 PREFERRED STOCK
 
  The Articles of Incorporation authorize the Board of Directors to issue up
to 20,000,000 preferred shares and to establish the preferences and rights of
any shares issued. See "Description of Capital Stock--Preferred Shares." The
issuance of preferred shares could have the effect of delaying or preventing a
change in control of the Company even if a change in control were in the
shareholders' interest. No preferred shares are currently issued or
outstanding.
 
 VIRGINIA ANTI-TAKEOVER STATUTES
   
  As a Virginia corporation, the Company is subject to various provisions of
the VSCA that impose certain restrictions and require certain procedures with
respect to certain takeover offers and business combinations, including, but
not limited to, combinations with interested holders and share purchases from
certain holders. Such provisions may deter takeover attempts or tender offers,
including offers or attempts that may result in the payment of a premium over
the market price for the Common Stock or that a shareholder might otherwise
consider in its best interest. See "Description of Capital Stock--Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaw Provisions."     
 
ABILITY OF BOARD TO CHANGE POLICIES
 
  The major policies of the Company, including its policies with respect to
acquisitions, financing, growth, operations, debt capitalization and
distributions, are determined by its Board of Directors. The Board of
Directors may amend or revise these and other policies from time to time
without a vote of the shareholders of the Company. See "Policies and
Objectives with Respect to Certain Activities."
 
ADVERSE EFFECT OF INCREASE IN MARKET INTEREST RATES ON PRICE OF COMMON STOCK
 
  One of the factors that may influence the price of the Common Stock in
public trading markets will be the annual yield from distributions by the
Company on the Common Stock as compared to yields on certain financial
instruments. Thus, an increase in market interest rates will result in higher
yields on certain financial instruments, which could adversely affect the
market price of the Common Stock.

                                  THE COMPANY
 
GENERAL
   
  The Company is a self-administered REIT, which owns 33 Hotels in 13 states,
with an aggregate of 7,538 guest rooms. The Hotels are diversified by
franchise or brand affiliation and serve primarily major U.S. business
centers, including Atlanta, Boston, Cleveland, Dallas, Denver, Houston and
Seattle. In addition to hotels catering primarily to business travelers, the
Hotels include prominent hotels in major tourist destinations, including New
Orleans, San Antonio and San Diego. The Hotels include 27 full service hotels,
5 limited service hotels and an executive conference center. Twenty-nine of
the Hotels are operated under franchise or brand affiliations with nationally
recognized hotel companies, including Marriott(R), Crowne Plaza(R),
Radisson(R), Hilton(R), Hyatt(R), Four Points by Sheraton(R), Holiday Inn(R),
WestCoast(R), Doubletree(R), Embassy Suites(R) and Hampton Inn(R). For the
twelve months ended March 31, 1996, the Hotels had an average occupancy of
71.1% and ADR of $81.55.     
   
  Since the Initial Offering, the Company has acquired the 13 Recent
Acquisitions with an aggregate of 3,332 guest rooms for approximately $216
million and has entered into contracts and a letter of intent to purchase the
7 Proposed Acquisitions with an aggregate of 1,995 guest rooms for an
aggregate purchase price (excluding acquisition-related expenses) of
approximately $145 million. The Company purchased the Recent Acquisitions with
proceeds from the exercise of the underwriter's over-allotment option in the
Initial Offering and with funds from its Line of Credit. The Company is
currently completing due diligence reviews regarding the Proposed
Acquisitions, however no assurances can be made that these acquisitions will
be completed. See "Developments Since the Initial Offering--Proposed
Acquisitions." If all of the Proposed Acquisitions are consummated, the
Company will have invested over $361 million in hotel acquisitions and more
than doubled its room portfolio since the Initial Offering.     
   
  The Company leases each of the Hotels, except the Crowne Plaza Ravinia which
is owned through a special purpose corporation, to independent Lessees
pursuant to separate Participating Leases. The Crowne Plaza Ravinia
acquisition was structured without a Lessee for reasons specific to the
acquisition. The Company anticipates that future acquisitions will continue to
be structured with Lessees. The Lessees and the special purpose corporation
that owns the Crowne Plaza Ravinia in turn have entered into separate
Management Agreements with the Operators to operate the Hotels. Neither the
Company nor its management owns an interest in, or participates in the
management of, the Lessees or the Operators, thus avoiding certain potential
conflicts of interest generally associated with the structure of hospitality
REITs. All Participating Leases between the Company and the Lessees have been
negotiated on an arms length basis.     
   
  In connection with the Initial Offering, the Company closed the Line of
Credit with Paine Webber Real Estate. In May 1996, the maximum amount
available under the Line of Credit was increased from $165 million to $250
million and certain other modifications were made, thereby increasing the
Company's ability to borrow under the Line of Credit. See "Developments Since
the Initial Offering--Financing Activities."     
   
  The Company believes market conditions today remain favorable for the
acquisition of hotel properties at attractive returns and, particularly with
respect to full service hotels, at prices significantly below replacement
cost. Accordingly, the Company intends to continue to acquire additional
hotels that meet one or more of its investment criteria. See "--Business
Strategy--Acquisitions." The Company believes its ability to implement its
acquisition strategy is enhanced by the favorable reputation and track record
of the Company as a credible acquiror of hotels and the extensive industry
relationships developed by Patriot American and the Company's management team.
The Company expects that these relationships will provide the Company with
opportunities to purchase selected hotels before active marketing of such
hotels commences. Further, because the Company's structure is designed to
accommodate multiple lessees, hotel brand owner/operators, major hotel
management companies and hotel franchisors have presented the Company with
opportunities to acquire attractive hotel properties (including properties not
otherwise marketed for sale) and the Company expects such opportunities will
continue. The Company believes its acquisition capabilities are enhanced by
the fact that its capital structure     
 
                                      24
<PAGE>
 
   
provides significant financial flexibility. As of June 24, 1996, the Company
had a debt to total market capitalization ratio of approximately 17%. The
Company intends to continue to maintain a conservative capital structure and
currently intends to limit consolidated indebtedness to no more than 40% of
its total market capitalization.     
 
  The Company's executive officers have extensive, nationwide experience in
the acquisition, ownership, operation, development and repositioning of each
type of hotel represented in the Company's portfolio. The Company's Chairman
of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, Paul A. Nussbaum, founded Patriot
American in 1991 and has 24 years of real estate industry experience. Thomas
W. Lattin, the Company's President and Chief Operating Officer, has over 25
years of hotel industry experience as an executive and consultant. Rex E.
Stewart, the Company's Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer,
has over 20 years of experience in hotel finance and development. Leslie Ng, a
Senior Vice President of Acquisitions, has over eight years of experience in
hotel acquisitions and financing. Michael Murphy, a Senior Vice President of
Acquisitions, has over 15 years of experience in the real estate and hotel
industries. Terry Huntzicker, the Company's Vice President of Construction and
Design has over 30 years of experience in hotel design and construction.
   
  The Company was formed to continue and expand the hotel acquisition,
ownership, redevelopment and repositioning business of Patriot American.
Patriot American had historically pursued an investment strategy that
emphasized purchasing hotels at attractive prices and renovating,
repositioning and remarketing them to achieve significant revenue growth and
favorable investment returns. From January 1, 1992 to March 31, 1996,
approximately $29.7 million was invested in renovations and other capital
improvements to the Initial Hotels. The Initial Hotels achieved significant
growth in occupancy, ADR and REVPAR from 1993 through 1995, as summarized in
the following chart:

  For 1993, 1994, and 1995, average occupancy rates for the U.S. lodging
industry were 63.1%, 64.7% and 65.5%, respectively, according to Smith Travel.
Management believes the growth in occupancy, ADR and REVPAR at the Initial
Hotels primarily reflects the successful renovation, repositioning and
remarketing strategies of Patriot American, the superior management and
marketing capabilities of the Operators, and the upswing in the hotel industry
caused by a slowing of new hotel construction nationally and improving
economic conditions, following an extended period of unprofitable industry
performance in the late 1980s and early 1990s.     
 
BUSINESS STRATEGY
 
  The Company's primary business objective is to maximize its Cash Available
for Distribution and enhance shareholder value by acquiring additional hotels
that meet one or more of the Company's investment criteria, by participating
in increased revenue from the Hotels and any subsequently acquired hotels
through participating leases and, under appropriate circumstances, by
developing selected additional hotels.
 
 Acquisitions
 
  The Company seeks to acquire additional hotel properties that meet one or
more of its investment criteria as generally described below. As a result of
Patriot American's successful acquisition activities over the past
 
                                      25
<PAGE>
 
several years, the Company believes it possesses a competitive advantage in
market knowledge, technical expertise and industry relationships, which has
enabled it to successfully implement its acquisition strategy on a national
scale. The Company also benefits from the extensive experience and
relationships developed by the members of its management team over the past 20
years. Further, as one of the nation's largest publicly traded hotel REITs,
the Company has access to a wide variety of public and private financing
sources to fund acquisitions, such as the issuance of debt, equity and hybrid
securities, as well as the use of OP Units as consideration where cash is not
appropriate for tax or other reasons. The Line of Credit also enables the
Company to contract for and complete the acquisition of hotels without
financing contingencies.
 
  Management believes the lodging industry in the United States is in the
midst of a continuing recovery from a period of low profitability, which
resulted from high levels of debt financing, over-supply of hotel rooms caused
by overbuilding and economic recession. As a result, the Company believes
opportunities currently exist to acquire hotels at attractive prices and,
therefore, to capitalize further on improving industry conditions and
performance. Generally, hotel acquisition opportunities vary over time by
geographic area and product type. The Company's management is experienced in
the acquisition of hotels of various product types (luxury, full service,
limited service, all-suite hotels, destination resorts and conference centers)
throughout the U.S. This broad-based experience positions the Company to
capitalize on changing hotel industry conditions and market opportunities. The
Company concentrates its investment activities on hotel properties that meet
one or more of the following criteria:
 
  . full service commercial hotels in major U.S. business markets;
 
  . major tourist hotels, destination resorts or conference centers, which
    appeal to specific market niches, are well-established in their markets
    and offer a full range of amenities and services;
 
  . undervalued hotels, whose performance the Company believes can be
    significantly enhanced through market repositioning, redevelopment and
    turnaround strategies;
 
  . hotels with sound operational fundamentals that are underperforming due
    to a lack of invested capital because they are owned or controlled by
    financially distressed owners or involuntary owners that may have
    acquired the hotels through foreclosure or settlement;
 
  . hotels that the Company can convert to recognized, successful franchise
    or brand affiliations when such affiliations are underrepresented in the
    particular geographic region or market area; and
 
  . portfolios of hotels that exhibit some or all of the other criteria
    discussed above, where purchasing several hotels in one transaction
    enables the Company to obtain a favorable price or to purchase attractive
    assets that otherwise would not be available to the Company.
   
  Because the Company is independent of the Lessees and the Operators, the
Company has flexibility with respect to leasing additional hotels, subject to
a limited right of first offer held by CHC Lease Partners. See "The Lessees
and the Operators--Right of First Offer." As a result, hotel brand
owner/operators, major hotel management companies and hotel franchisors have
presented the Company with attractive opportunities to acquire hotel
properties (including properties not otherwise marketed for sale), which then
may be leased back to such entities. The recent acquisitions of Embassy
Suites, Hunt Valley, the Crowne Plaza Ravinia, the WestCoast Portfolio, the
Doubletree Denver/Boulder, and the proposed acquisition of the Wyndham
Portfolio represent examples of hotel acquisition opportunities brought to the
attention of the Company by management and franchise companies. The Company
expects that hotel brand owners/operators, major hotel management companies
and hotel franchisors, as well as the Lessees and the Operators, will continue
to be a valuable source of acquisition opportunities for the Company.     
 
 Internal Growth
 
  The Company believes the Hotels offer opportunities for revenue and cash
flow growth through effective sales and marketing and efficient operations.
The Lessees and the Operators have demonstrated expertise in hotel operations
and management and possess the human and systems resources necessary to
maximize revenue and
 
                                      26
<PAGE>
 
income growth. The business relationships among the Company, the Lessees and
the Operators have been structured to provide the Lessees and the Operators
with incentives to operate and maintain the Hotels leased and operated by them
in a manner designed to maximize revenue growth and increase the Company's
Cash Available for Distribution.
 
  Participating Rent. The Participating Leases are structured to enable the
Company to participate significantly in the growth of room, food and beverage,
telephone and other revenue from the Hotels. The Participating Leases provide
for the Company to receive monthly the greater of Base Rent or Participating
Rent at each Hotel, plus certain Additional Charges as applicable.
"Participating Rent" is determined according to a formula based on varying
percentages of room revenue, food and beverage revenue, telephone revenue and
other revenue at each of the Hotels. These percentages have been negotiated by
the Company and the Lessee on an arms length basis based on historical and
projected operating performance at each of the Hotels. While the terms of the
Participating Leases are revenue-based, such terms have been developed with
consideration to the fixed and variable nature of hotel operating expenses and
changes in operating margins typically associated with increases in revenue.
See "The Hotels--The Participating Leases."
 
  Hotel Operations. Under the Participating Leases, the Lessees and the
Operators are obligated to prepare annual operating budgets, capital budgets
and marketing plans for each Hotel leased and operated by them, which are
subject to the approval of the Company. The Operators regularly measure actual
results from operations against prior years' results and planned budgets to
create an aggressive, goal-oriented approach to the operation of each Hotel
operated by them. The Operators also provide incentive compensation programs
for key members of the sales and operations management staff of the Hotels,
consistent with the Company's goal of increasing Cash Available for
Distribution.
 
  The Operators utilize sophisticated management systems to maximize revenues,
achieve favorable profit margins and ensure consistency and quality of
service. The Company believes the Operators historically have been successful
hotel managers because they apply professional approaches to the fundamental
processes that produce revenue and income, including:
 
  . Detailed operating budgets
  . Targeted sales and marketing plans
  . Computerized yield management systems
  . Sophisticated scheduling and labor management systems
  . Automated food and beverage cost control systems
  . Networked management information systems
  . Employee training and incentive programs
  . Guest feedback and quality control systems
   
  Capital Improvements, Renovation and Refurbishment. The Company believes a
regular program of capital improvements, including replacement and
refurbishment of F, F & E at the Hotels, as well as the renovation and
redevelopment of selected Hotels, is essential to maintaining the
competitiveness of the Hotels and maximizing revenue growth. From January 1,
1992 through March 31, 1996, approximately $29.7 million (or an average of
$7,060 per guest room) was spent on renovations and capital improvements at
the Initial Hotels to position them for future growth. Twelve of the Initial
Hotels were renovated during this period. See "The Hotels." The Company has
budgeted approximately $16.5 million to complete significant renovations at
the Crockett Hotel, the Crowne Plaza Ravinia, the Tremont House Hotel, the Del
Mar Hilton, the WestCoast Long Beach Hotel and Marina and the Doubletree
Denver/Boulder. The Company spent approximately $900,000 of this amount
through March 31, 1996 and expects to spend the remainder in 1996 and early
1997. In addition, as part of its ongoing capital improvement program, the
Company has budgeted approximately $10.8 million in 1996 for capital
improvements and the replacement of F, F & E within the Company's portfolio,
including the     
 
                                      27
<PAGE>
 
   
Recent Acquisitions. With respect to the Wyndham Portfolio, the Company has
budgeted approximately $1.9 million in renovations to certain of the hotels
which the Company expects to complete by the end of 1997. Such expenditures
will be in addition to capital expenditure reserves for these properties.     
   
  The Participating Leases require the Company to establish aggregate minimum
reserves averaging 4.0% of total revenue for the Hotels (which on a pro forma
basis for the Initial Hotels, for the twelve months ended March 31, 1996,
represented approximately 5.8% of room revenue and an average of $1,200 per
guest room) which are provided by the Company to the Lessees for capital
improvements and the replacement and refurbishment of F, F & E necessary to
maintain the competitive position of the Hotels. Generally, the Company and
the Lessees must agree on the use of funds in these reserves, and the Company
has the right to approve the Lessees' annual and long-term capital expenditure
budgets. While the Company expects its reserves to be adequate to fund
recurring capital needs, the Company may use Cash Available for Distribution
in excess of distributions paid (subject to federal income tax restrictions on
the Company's ability to retain earnings) or funds drawn under the Line of
Credit to fund additional capital improvements, as necessary, including
significant renovations at the Company's hotels. The Company's budget for
capital expenditures, exclusive of renovations, exceeds 4.0% of total revenues
at the Hotels in 1996 due to capital expenditures required by certain
franchisors and to the Company's decision to accelerate certain capital
improvements originally intended to be completed over a longer period.     
 
 Development
   
  Due to the current favorable acquisition environment for hotels, the Company
intends to emphasize acquisitions over development in pursuing the Company's
growth objectives. The Company believes in most markets it is possible to
acquire full service hotel properties at values below replacement cost, with
existing or achievable cash flows commensurate with the Company's investment
criteria. However, the Company will evaluate from time to time, and may
undertake, attractive opportunities to develop new hotels or expand existing
hotels. The Company is currently evaluating a potential expansion of the
Doubletree Denver/Boulder by approximately 80 rooms on contiguous land owned
by the Company, however, the Company has made no commitments with respect to
such expansion.     
 
  The Company's executive officers have participated in the development of
over 20 hotels and have significant experience in all phases of the
development process, including site selection, franchise selection, hotel
programming and design, zoning and construction management. The Company
believes this management expertise will enhance its hotel development efforts
and its capability to evaluate hotels for acquisition, expansion and
turnaround situations. See "Policies and Objectives with Respect to Certain
Activities--Investment Policies--Development of Hotel Properties." See "Risk
Factors--Changes in Policies."
       
THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP
   
  The Company owns an approximately 81.6% interest in the Operating
Partnership, a Virginia limited partnership. The Operating Partnership owns,
directly or through Subsidiary Partnerships, all of the Hotels (except the
Crowne Plaza Ravinia, which is owned by PAH Ravinia, Inc.) and leases such
hotels to the Lessees. Because of certain state tax considerations, the
Company holds its interest in the Operating Partnership through two wholly-
owned subsidiaries, PAH GP and PAH LP. PAH GP is the sole general partner of
the Operating Partnership and owns a 1.0% general partnership interest in the
Operating Partnership. Through PAH GP, the Company controls the Operating
Partnership and its assets. PAH LP is one of the Operating Partnership's
limited partners (the "Limited Partners") and owns an approximately 80.6%
limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. In their capacity
as such, the Limited Partners have no authority to transact business for, or
participate in the management, activities or decisions of, the Operating
Partnership. Upon completion of the Offering, the Company will own indirectly
through PAH GP and PAH LP an approximately 85.4% interest in the Operating
Partnership, consisting of a 1.0% general partner interest and an 84.4%
limited partner interest.

million in the acquisition of Hotels (including purchase prices and
approximately $3 million in acquisition-related expenses), increasing its room
portfolio by approximately 79%. Set forth below are summary descriptions of
the Recent Acquisitions.     
   
  Embassy Suites, Hunt Valley, Maryland. In November 1995, the Company
acquired the 223-suite Embassy Suites in Hunt Valley, Maryland outside

The portfolio includes the 194-suite WestCoast Plaza Park Suites, the 151-room
WestCoast Roosevelt Hotel and the 145-room WestCoast Gateway Hotel, all in
Seattle, Washington; the 410-room Hyatt Newporter Hotel in Newport Beach,
California; the 192-room WestCoast Long Beach Hotel and Marina in Long Beach,
California; and the 147-room WestCoast Wenatchee Center Hotel in Wenatchee,

WestCoast Long Beach Hotel and Marina, and to complete build out of a
restaurant at the WestCoast Plaza Park Suites, converting this Hotel to a full
service property. The Company has leased the hotels in the WestCoast Portfolio
under separate Participating Leases to NorthCoast, a recently formed company
owned by a consortium of investors including principals of WestCoast Hotels, a
major regional hotel management company based in Seattle, and Sunmakers, a
major tour and travel company in the Pacific Northwest. WestCoast Hotels
manages each of the hotels in the WestCoast Portfolio except for the Hyatt
Newporter Hotel, which is managed by Hyatt Corporation ("Hyatt").     
 
                                      29
<PAGE>
 
  Hyatt Regency, Lexington, Kentucky. In May 1996, the Company acquired the
365-room Hyatt Regency in Lexington, Kentucky for approximately $14.3 million
in cash. The Hotel, which is subject to a long-term ground lease, adjoins
Lexington's convention center and the Rupp Arena. The Company has leased the
Hotel to NorthCoast and Hyatt manages the Hotel.
   
  Doubletree Denver/Boulder, Westminster (Denver), Colorado. In June 1996, the
Company acquired the 180-room Doubletree Denver/Boulder in suburban Denver,
Colorado for approximately $12.5 million in cash. The Company intends to
complete approximately $950,000 of renovations to the Hotel. The Hotel is the
Company's first Doubletree branded property and first acquisition in the
Denver area. The Company has leased the Hotel to the Doubletree Lessee and DTM
Management Inc., a subsidiary of Doubletree Hotels, manages the Hotel.     
   
PROPOSED ACQUISITIONS     
   
  The Company has entered into contracts and a letter of intent to purchase
the Proposed Acquisitions for an aggregate purchase price of approximately
$145 million. Subject to satisfactory completion of closing conditions, the
Company currently intends to complete all of the Proposed Acquisitions by
August 1996, although no assurances can be made that the Proposed Acquisitions
will be consummated. Assuming completion of the Proposed Acquisitions, the
Company will have invested over $361 million in hotel acquisitions since the
Initial Offering, more than doubling its rooms portfolio to a total of 40
hotels with 9,533 rooms. Set forth below are summary descriptions of the
Proposed Acquisitions.     
   
  Wyndham Portfolio. In April 1996, the Company signed a letter of intent to
acquire the 1,141 room Wyndham Portfolio from entities owned primarily by
members of the Trammell Crow family for approximately $95.5 million in cash
and $500,000 in value of OP Units. In addition, the Company may be obligated
to pay up to $3 million of additional consideration if certain operating
results are achieved at two of the hotels in the Wyndham Portfolio. The
Wyndham Portfolio includes the 472-room Wyndham Greenspoint Hotel located in
Houston, Texas; the 191-room Wyndham Garden-Midtown located in Atlanta,
Georgia; the 148-room Wyndham Garden located in Novi (Detroit), Michigan; the
162-room Wyndham Garden located in Wood Dale (Chicago), Illinois; and the 168-
room Wyndham Garden-Las Colinas located in Irving (Dallas), Texas. The Company
intends to lease the hotels in the Wyndham Portfolio to the Wyndham Lessee, an
entity to be formed by members of the Trammell Crow family. The hotels in the
Wyndham Portfolio are currently managed by Wyndham and the Wyndham Lessee will
contract with Wyndham to manage the hotels following the acquisition.     
   
  The Company anticipates that the Wyndham Portfolio acquisition will be
completed in July 1996. The completion of the transaction is subject to
satisfactory completion of closing conditions, including the delivery of
certain third party consents. In connection with this acquisition, the Company
will agree to maintain at least $22 million of debt on the Wyndham Greenspoint
Hotel until the end of 1999. The Company is negotiating with PaineWebber Real
Estate to extend a single asset mortgage loan of approximately $22 million on
this hotel on economic terms substantially similar to the Line of Credit. If
the Wyndham Portfolio acquisition is completed prior to the closing of the
Offering, the Company intends to fund the remainder of the cash portion of the
purchase price (approximately $73.5 million) through a draw on the Line of
Credit and to repay any funds drawn with proceeds of the Offering. If the
Wyndham Portfolio acquisition is completed after the closing of the Offering,
the Company intends to finance the remainder of the cash portion of the
purchase price with a portion of the proceeds of the Offering.     
   
  Marriott WindWatch Hotel, Hauppauge (Long Island), New York. In March 1996,
the Company entered into an agreement to acquire the 362-room Marriott
WindWatch Hotel in Hauppauge (Long Island), New York for approximately $30
million in cash. This Proposed Acquisition will represent the Company's first
hotel in the metropolitan New York area.     
          
  Bonaventure Resort & Spa, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. In May 1996, the Company
entered into an agreement to acquire the 492-room Bonaventure Resort & Spa in
Ft. Lauderdale, Florida for approximately $16.2 million in cash and the
assumption of approximately $3 million in operating liabilities. The hotel is
situated on 23 acres and is 15 miles west of Ft. Lauderdale International
Airport. Upon completion of the acquisition, the Company intends to complete
an $8.5 million renovation of the hotel and implement a strategic and
marketing     
 
                                      30

plan which will include branding the facility as a Registry Resort and Spa.
The Company currently anticipates that CHC Lease Partners will lease and a
hotel management subsidiary of CHC will manage the hotel.     
   
  The Company is in various stages of negotiations and due diligence review
for the Proposed Acquisitions. Closing of these transactions is subject to
satisfactory completion of the Company's due diligence review and certain
other conditions. In addition to the Proposed Acquisitions, as part of its
ongoing business, the Company continually engages in discussions with public
and private real estate entities regarding possible portfolio or single asset
acquisitions. The Company currently has over $800 million of hotel acquisition
opportunities under review. No assurances can be given that the Company will
acquire any of the hotel opportunities currently under review.     
 
FINANCING ACTIVITIES
 
  Private Placement. In May 1996, the Company sold an aggregate of
approximately $40.0 million of equity securities to an institutional investor
that purchased the securities on behalf of two owners. The securities
consisted of 811,393 shares of Common Stock sold at $26.95 per share and
662,391 Preferred OP Units sold at $27.375 per unit. The Common Stock is of
the same class as the Company's existing Common Stock and is entitled to the
same voting and dividend rights as all outstanding Common Stock. The purchaser
is subject to certain restrictions on the resale of the Common Stock. The
Preferred OP Units are entitled to quarterly distributions equal to 103% of
the current quarterly dividends paid on the Common Stock. Distributions on the
Preferred OP Units increase or decrease concurrently with any changes in
Common Stock dividends. Prior to the third anniversary of issuance, the
Preferred OP Units generally will not be exchangeable for Common Stock, except
under certain limited circumstances. After three years, the holders will have
the right to exchange Preferred OP Units for shares of Common Stock on a one-
for-one basis, subject to adjustment and to an ownership limitation of 4.9% of
all outstanding Common Stock. In the event that the Operating Partnership
generates unrelated business taxable income, as defined in section 512 of the
Code ("UBTI") in excess of a threshold amount, the quarterly distributions on
the Preferred OP Units will be increased to account for the tax payable on
such excess UBTI. After 10 years, the Company will have the right to exchange
all outstanding Preferred OP Units for shares of Common Stock on a one-for-one
basis, subject to adjustment.
   
  Credit Facility. In May 1996, the maximum amount available under the Line of
Credit was increased from $165 million to $250 million and certain other
modifications were made, thereby increasing the Company's ability to borrow
under the Line of Credit. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital
Resources."     
 
NEW FRANCHISE AND BRAND AFFILIATIONS
   
  With the completion of the Recent Acquisitions, the Company expanded the
franchise and brand affiliations in its portfolio to include Crowne Plaza(R),
Doubletree(R), Embassy Suites(R), Hyatt(R) and WestCoast(R). Assuming
completion of the Proposed Acquisitions, the Company will add the Wyndham(TM)
and Wyndham Garden(R) brands to its portfolio.

                                USE OF PROCEEDS
   
  The net proceeds to the Company from the Offering, after payment of expenses
incurred in connection with the Offering, are estimated to be approximately
$133.9 million (approximately $154.4 million if the Underwriters' over-
allotment is exercised in full). The Company intends to apply the net proceeds
of the Offering to purchase certain of the Proposed Acquisitions, to reduce
amounts outstanding under the Line of Credit (which amounts have been borrowed
principally to complete the Recent Acquisitions and may be borrowed prior to
the completion of the Offering to acquire certain of the Proposed
Acquisitions), and/or for general corporate and working capital purposes. All
outstanding borrowings under the Line of Credit mature in October 1998 and
currently bear interest at 30-day LIBOR plus 190 basis points per annum. No
prepayment penalties will be required in connection with the prepayment of
amounts outstanding under the Line of Credit.     
 
  Pending the uses described above, the net proceeds will be invested in
interest-bearing accounts and short-term, interest-bearing securities, which
are consistent with the Company's intention to qualify for taxation as a REIT.
Such investments may include, for example, government and government agency
securities, certificates of deposit, interest-bearing bank deposits and
mortgage loan participations.

             PRICE RANGE OF COMMON STOCK AND DISTRIBUTION HISTORY
   
  The Company's Common Stock began trading on the NYSE on September 27, 1995,
under the symbol "PAH." On June 24, 1996, the last reported sale price per
share of Common Stock on the NYSE was $28.875 and there were approximately 78
holders of record of the Company's Common Stock. The following table sets
forth the quarterly high and low closing sale prices per share of Common Stock
reported on the NYSE and the distributions paid by the Company with respect to
each such period.

   June 30, 1996 (through June 24, 1996).......... $29.375 $26.75     $0.48
</TABLE>    
   
  The Company's Board of Directors has declared a quarterly distribution of
$0.48 per share to be paid on July 30, 1996 to shareholders of record on June
27, 1996. Purchasers of Common Stock in the offering will not receive the
second quarter 1996 dividend in respect of the shares of Common Stock offered
hereby. Future distributions by the Company will be at the discretion of the
Board of Directors and will depend on the Company's financial condition, its
capital requirements, the annual distribution requirements under the REIT
provisions of the Code and such other factors as the Board of Directors deems
relevant. There can be no assurance that any such distributions will be made
by the Company.     
   
  Distributions by the Company to the extent of its current and accumulated
earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes generally will be taxable
to stockholders as ordinary dividend income. Distributions in excess of
current and accumulated earnings and profit will be treated as a non-taxable
reduction of the stockholder's basis in its shares of Common Stock to the
extent thereof, and thereafter as taxable gain. Distributions that are treated
as a reduction of the stockholder's basis in its shares of Common Stock will
have the effect of deferring taxation until the sale of the stockholder's
shares. The Company has determined that, for federal income tax purposes,
approximately 26% of the $0.48 per share distribution paid for 1995
represented a return of capital to the stockholders. Given the dynamic nature
of the Company's acquisition strategy and the extent to which any future
acquisitions would alter this calculation, no assurances can be given
regarding what percent of future distributions will constitute return of
capital for federal income tax purposes.     
 
  In the future the Company may implement a dividend reinvestment program
under which holders of Common Stock may elect automatically to reinvest
dividends and make additional investments in shares of Common Stock. If a
dividend reinvestment and stock purchase program is implemented, the Company
may, from time to time, repurchase Common Stock in the open market for
purposes of fulfilling its obligations under the program, or may elect to
issue additional shares of Common Stock.

NOTES TO SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
 
(1) Pro forma amounts as if the Operating Partnership recorded depreciation
    and amortization and paid real estate and personal property taxes and
    casualty insurance as contemplated by the Participating Leases.
(2) Includes actual results for the Initial Hotels throughout the period and
    for the Recent Acquisitions since their respective dates of acquisition by
    the Operating Partnership or its subsidiaries.
(3) Represents lease payments from the Lessees to the Operating Partnership in
    accordance with the terms of the Participating Leases. Pro forma amounts
    are calculated by applying the provisions of the Participating Leases to
    the historical revenues of the Hotels as if January 1, 1995 were the
    beginning of a lease year.
(4) Pro forma amounts include estimates for legal, accounting, travel and
    other expenses associated with operating as a public company.
(5) Pro forma interest expense reflects amortization of deferred financing
    costs and interest expense associated with the Line of Credit.
   
(6) Calculated as approximately 14.6% of the Operating Partnership's income
    before extraordinary items on a pro forma basis.     
(7) Pro forma operating results do not include the effect of extraordinary
    items reported on an historical basis.
(8) Pro forma cash flows provided by operating activities represent income
    before income allocable to minority interest, plus depreciation and
    amortization (including amortization of unearned management stock
    compensation), less the non-cash portion of the Company's equity in
    earnings of unconsolidated subsidiary. The pro forma amounts do not
    include adjustments from changes in working capital resulting from changes
    in current assets and current liabilities as there is no historical data
    available as of both the beginning and end of each period.
(9) Pro forma cash used in investing activities represent the approximate 4.0%
    of hotel revenue which is required to be reserved under the terms of the
    Participating Leases for capital improvements and the replacement and
    refurbishment of F, F & E.
   
(10) Pro forma cash used in financing activities represents estimated
     dividends and distributions to be paid based upon the Company's initial
     annual dividend rate of $1.92 per share and an aggregate of 23,318,865
     shares of Common Stock and OP Units outstanding and $1.98 per share on
     the 662,391 Preferred OP Units outstanding.     
   
(11) In accordance with the resolution adopted by the Board of Governors of
     NAREIT, funds from operations represents net income (loss) (computed in
     accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), excluding
     gains (or losses) from debt restructuring or sales of property, plus
     depreciation of real property, and after adjustments for unconsolidated
     partnerships and joint ventures. Funds from operations should not be
     considered as an alternative to net income or other measurements under
     generally accepted accounting principles as an indicator of operating
     performance or to cash flows from operating, investing or financing
     activities as a measure of liquidity. Funds from operations does not
     reflect working capital changes, cash expenditures for capital
     improvements or principal payments on indebtedness. Under the
     Participating Leases, the Company is obligated to establish a reserve for
     capital improvements at the Hotels (including the replacement or
     refurbishment of F, F & E) and to pay real estate and personal property
     taxes and casualty insurance. The Company believes that funds from
     operations is helpful to investors as a measure of the performance of an
     equity REIT, because, along with cash flows from operating activities,
     financing activities and investing activities, it provides investors with
     an understanding of the ability of the Company to incur and service debt
     and make capital expenditures.     
(12) Cash Available for Distribution represents funds from operations, as
     adjusted for certain non-cash items (e.g. non-real estate related
     depreciation and amortization), less reserves for capital expenditures.
   
(13) Historical Lessee expenses represent management fees paid to the
     Operators and Lessee overhead expenses, net of dividend and interest
     income earned by the Lessees. Management fees paid to the Operators are
     subordinate to the Lessees' obligations to the Company under the
     Participating Lease agreements. Pro forma Lessee net income excludes pro
     forma dividends on approximately 300,000 OP Units, which form a portion
     of the required capitalization of certain of the Lessees and pro forma
     interest income associated with the Lessees' working capital balances.
         
(14) The combined historical financial data are derived from the combined
     financial statements of the Initial Hotels, which include the financial
     position and results of operations of the Marriott Troy Hotel from the
     date of acquisition (December 30, 1994) only.
(15) Represents departmental costs and expenses, general and administrative,
     repairs and maintenance, utilities, marketing and management fees.
(16) Represents a provision for impairment of long-lived assets with respect
     to the Marriott Troy Hotel prior to its acquisition in December 1994.
(17) Represents gain resulting from extinguishment of indebtedness related to
     the Marriott Troy Hotel in 1993.

  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
                                  OPERATIONS
 
  The accompanying discussion and analysis of financial condition and results
of operations is based on the consolidated financial statements of the
Company, the financial statements of CHC Lease Partners, and the combined
historical financial statements of the Initial Hotels and the historical
financial statements of Troy Park Associates, which are included elsewhere in
this Prospectus. The following discussion and analysis should be read in
conjunction with the accompanying financial statements and related notes
thereto.
 
BACKGROUND AND RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
 
  Patriot American Hospitality, Inc., a Virginia corporation, was formed April
17, 1995 as a self-administered REIT for the purpose of acquiring equity
interests in hotel properties. On October 2, 1995, the Company completed the
Initial Offering of 14,605,000 shares of its Common Stock and commenced
operations. The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, PAH LP, Inc.,
contributed substantially all of the net proceeds of the Initial Offering to
the Operating Partnership in exchange for an approximate 85.3% limited
partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. The Company, through its
wholly-owned subsidiary, PAH GP, Inc., is the sole general partner and the
holder of a 1.0% general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership.
   
  The Operating Partnership used approximately $263,600,000 of the net
proceeds from the Company to acquire the 20 Initial Hotels with a total of
4,206 guest rooms from various entities and to repay existing mortgages and
other indebtedness of the Initial Hotels. In addition, in connection with the
Initial Offering, the Company closed on the Line of Credit with Paine Webber
Real Estate to be utilized primarily for the acquisition of additional hotels,
renovation of certain hotels and for working capital. Since the Initial
Offering, the Company has invested approximately $215,513,000 in the
acquisition of hotel properties (including purchase prices and acquisition-
related expenses).     
   
  On November 15, 1995, the Company acquired the 223-suite Embassy Suites
Hotel in Hunt Valley, Maryland for cash of approximately $15,961,000. The
purchase was paid for with a portion of the remaining net proceeds from the
Initial Offering.     
 
  On December 1, 1995, PAH Ravinia acquired the 495-room Crowne Plaza Ravinia
in Atlanta, Georgia. The Company paid approximately $4,456,000 for its
investment in PAH Ravinia and loaned to PAH Ravinia an aggregate of
$40,500,000 represented by first and second lien mortgage notes (the "Mortgage
Notes") for the purchase of this Hotel. The investment in PAH Ravinia and
funding of the Mortgage Notes were paid for in part with the remaining net
proceeds from the Initial Offering and in part with borrowings from the
Company's Line of Credit in the amount of $9,500,000.
   
  During the first quarter of 1996, the Company acquired three additional
hotel properties in three states with an aggregate 830 guest rooms. The
Company acquired the 288-room Tremont House Hotel in Boston, Massachusetts on
January 16, 1996, for approximately $16,482,000 in cash. The purchase was
financed primarily with funds drawn on the Line of Credit. On March 4, 1996,
the Company acquired the 297-room Holiday Inn Lenox Hotel in Atlanta, Georgia
and on March 27, 1996, the Company acquired the 245-room Del Mar Hilton in Del
Mar (San Diego), California. The Holiday Inn Lenox Hotel was acquired for
approximately $7,340,000 in cash and 167,012 OP Units valued at approximately
$4,739,000 based upon the market price of the Company's common stock at the
closing of the acquisition. The cash portion of the purchase was funded with a
draw on the Line of Credit. The Del Mar Hilton was acquired for approximately
$14,765,000 in cash. The purchase was also financed primarily with funds drawn
on the Line of Credit.

  On April 2, 1996, the Company acquired the six hotel WestCoast Portfolio for
approximately $75,630,000 in cash and 331,577 OP Units, valued at
approximately $8,800,000 at the closing of the acquisition. The portfolio
includes the 194-suite WestCoast Plaza Park Suites Hotel, the 151-room
WestCoast Roosevelt Hotel and the 145-room WestCoast Gateway Hotel, all in
Seattle, Washington; the 410-room Hyatt Newporter Hotel in Newport Beach,
California; the 192-room WestCoast Long Beach Hotel and Marina in Long Beach,
California; and the 147-room WestCoast Wenatchee Center Hotel in Wenatchee,
Washington. The cash portion of the purchase was financed primarily with funds
drawn on the Line of Credit.     
   
  On May 22, 1996, the Company acquired the 365-room Hyatt Regency in
Lexington, Kentucky for approximately $14,320,000 in cash. On June 20, 1996,
the Company acquired the 180-room Doubletree Denver/Boulder in Westminster
(Denver), Colorado for approximately $12,520,000 in cash. These purchases were
financed primarily with funds drawn on the Line of Credit.     
   
  The Company, through the Operating Partnership and PAH Ravinia, currently
owns 33 hotel properties in 13 states with an aggregate of 7,538 guest rooms.
The Hotels are diversified by franchise or brand affiliation and serve
primarily major U.S. business centers, including Atlanta, Boston, Cleveland,
Dallas, Denver, Houston and Seattle. In addition to hotels catering primarily
to business travelers, the Hotels include prominent hotels in major tourist
destinations, including New Orleans, San Antonio and San Diego. The Hotels
include 27 full service hotels, 5 limited service hotels and an executive
conference center. Twenty-nine of the Hotels are operated under franchise or
brand affiliations with nationally recognized hotel companies.     
   
  In order for the Company to qualify as a REIT, neither the Company nor the
Operating Partnership can operate hotels. Therefore, the Operating Partnership
leases each of the Hotels, except the Crowne Plaza Ravinia, to a Lessee
pursuant to separate Participating Leases for staggered lease terms of ten to
twelve years. The Participating Leases provide for the payment of the greater
of Base Rent or Participating Rent, plus certain Additional Charges which vary
with the Participating Lease. Twenty-three of the Hotels are leased to CHC
Lease Partners, the Hotels in the WestCoast Portfolio and the Hyatt Regency
are leased to NorthCoast, and Metro Lease Partners and the Doubletree Lessee
each lease one Hotel. The Crowne Plaza Ravinia Hotel acquisition was
structured without a lessee for reasons specific to the acquisition. As a
result, the Company receives its income from this Hotel's operations as income
from an unconsolidated subsidiary instead of lease income.     
 
  The Operating Partnership's, and therefore the Company's, primary source of
revenue is lease payments by the Lessees under the Participating Leases.
Participating Rent is based primarily upon the Hotels' room revenue, and to a
lesser extent, food and beverage, conference center and other revenue. The
Lessees' ability to make lease payments to the Operating Partnership under the
Participating Leases is dependent upon their ability to generate cash flow
from the operation of the Hotels.
   
  The Lessees and PAH Ravinia in turn have entered into separate Management
Agreements with Operators to operate the Hotels. CHC Lease Partners has
entered into Management Agreements whereby 22 of the Hotels are managed by
hotel management subsidiaries of CHC and GAH (all of which are affiliates of
CHC Lease Partners) and one Hotel is managed by Metro Hotels. NorthCoast has
entered into Management Agreements whereby WestCoast, a hotel management
company affiliated with NorthCoast, manages each of the hotels in the
WestCoast Portfolio except the Hyatt Newporter Hotel. The Hyatt Newporter
Hotel and the Hyatt Regency in Lexington are managed by Hyatt pursuant to
separate Management Agreements between NorthCoast and Hyatt. Metro Lease
Partners has entered into a Management Agreement with Metro Hotels to manage
the Embassy Suites, Hunt Valley. The Doubletree Lessee has entered into a
Management Agreement with Doubletree Hotels to manage the Doubletree
Denver/Boulder. The Crowne Plaza Ravinia Hotel is being managed by Holiday
Inns, Inc. pursuant to a Management Agreement between PAH Ravinia and Holiday
Inns, Inc.     
   
PROPOSED ACQUISITIONS     
   
  The Company has signed a letter of intent to acquire a portfolio of five
Wyndham branded hotels containing an aggregate of 1,141 guest rooms from
entities owned primarily by members of the Trammell Crow family for     
 
                                      42
<PAGE>
 
   
a purchase price of approximately $95,500,000 in cash and $500,000 in value of
OP Units. These hotel properties are located in the Houston, Dallas, Atlanta,
Detroit and Chicago metropolitan areas. The Company anticipates that the
Wyndham Portfolio acquisition will be completed in July 1996, although no
assurances can be made that the acquisition will be completed. The completion
of this transaction is subject to satisfactory completion of closing
conditions, including the delivery of certain third party consents. In
connection with this acquisition, the Company will agree to maintain at least
$22 million of debt on the Wyndham Greenpoint Hotel until the end of 1999. The
Company is negotiating with Paine Webber Real Estate to extend a single asset
mortgage loan of approximately $22 million on this hotel on economic terms
substantially similar to the Line of Credit. If the Wyndham Portfolio
acquisition is completed prior to the closing of the Offering, the Company
intends to fund the remainder of the cash portion of the purchase through a
draw on the Line of Credit and to repay any funds drawn with proceeds of the
Offering. If the Wyndham Portfolio acquisition is completed after the closing
of the Offering, the Company intends to finance the remainder of the cash
portion of the purchase price with a portion of the proceeds of the Offering.
       
  In addition to the proposed acquisition of the Wyndham Portfolio, the
Company has entered into contracts to purchase the 492-room Bonaventure Hotel
& Spa in Fort Lauderdale, Florida for a purchase price of approximately
$16,200,000 in cash and the assumption of approximately $3,000,000 in
operating liabilities, and the 362-room Marriott WindWatch Hotel in Hauppauge,
New York for a purchase price of approximately $30,000,000 in cash.     
 
  The acquisition of these or any other properties is subject to a number of
contingencies, including, among other things, the satisfactory completion of
the Company's due diligence investigation of the hotels and obtaining
financing and/or Line of Credit lender approval, as applicable. Accordingly,
there can be no assurance that the acquisition of any of these properties will
be consummated.

                                       44

  The Company considers funds from operations to be a key measure of REIT
performance. Funds from operations represents net income (loss) (computed in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains (or
losses) from debt restructuring or sales of property, plus depreciation of real
property, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint
ventures. Adjustments for the Company's unconsolidated subsidiary are
calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis. The Company has
also made certain adjustments to funds from operations for real estate related
amortization and extraordinary losses. Funds from operations should not be
considered as an alternative to net income or other measurements under
generally accepted accounting principles as an indicator of operating
performance or to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities
as a measure of liquidity. Funds from operations does not reflect working
capital changes, cash expenditures for capital improvements or principal
payments on indebtedness.
 
  The following reconciliation of net income to funds from operations
illustrates the difference between the two measures of operating performance:

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF THE INITIAL HOTELS
 
  For the Period January 1, 1995 through October 1, 1995. The Initial Hotels
had room revenues of $65,192,000 for the period January 1, 1995 through October
1, 1995. On a same property basis (including all the Initial Hotels except the
Marriott Troy Hotel which was acquired in December 1994), each of the Initial
Hotels achieved increased room revenue in 1995 compared to 1994 except for the
Holiday Inn Northwest Houston. Average occupancy was 73.3%, the average daily
rate was $77.15 and revenue per available room was $56.56 for the period. Food
and beverage, conference center and other revenue for the period was
$29,590,000. Departmental and other expenses (departmental costs and expenses,
general and administrative, repairs and maintenance, utilities, marketing and
management fees) for the period were $66,071,000, which represents 69.7% of
total revenue. Income before fixed expenses (composed of interest expense, real
estate and personal property taxes, insurance, and depreciation and
amortization), gain on sale of assets and extraordinary items was 30.3% of
total revenue for the period, comparable to the 1994 average of 30.1%. Fixed
expenses totaled $22,781,000 for the period, which represented an increase over
1994, due primarily to a one-time participating debt payment at the Bourbon
Orleans Hotel of $1,242,000 as well as increased interest costs on new
indebtedness incurred by the Initial Hotels in 1995. Net income for the period
was $4,127,000 and reflects an extraordinary loss from debt extinguishment on
the Bourbon Orleans Hotel of $1,803,000.
 
  Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 1994 and 1993. Room revenue
increased from $57,504,000 to $69,969,000, an increase of $12,465,000 or 21.7%.
Of the total increase in room revenue, $5,183,000, or 41.6%, was attributable
to the acquisition of three hotels during 1993. Increases in average occupancy,
from 65.4% to 70.7%, and average room rates, from $68.36 to $70.24, an increase
of 2.7%, also contributed to the increase in room revenue. On a same property
basis, (for the 16 hotels owned or managed during all of 1993 and 1994) room
revenues increased $7,282,000 or 13.7%, of which approximately $2,300,000 was
attributable to increases in average daily rates and approximately $4,982,000
was attributable to increases in occupancy. The increases in both average daily
rates and average occupancy were primarily due to improving conditions in the
U.S. lodging industry, completion of renovations at certain of the Initial
Hotels and increased sales and marketing efforts. This improvement in room
revenues occurred despite the fact that seven of the Initial Hotels were
undergoing renovations during 1993 (none of which were completed during 1993)
and renovations at four of the Initial Hotels commenced during 1994.
 
  Food and beverage revenue increased from $20,168,000 to $23,770,000, a total
of $3,602,000 or 17.9%. Of the total increase in food and beverage revenue,
$2,019,000, or 56.1%, was attributable to the inclusion of the food and
beverage operations of the three hotels acquired in 1993 for a full year in
1994. On a same property basis, food and beverage revenue increased $1,583,000
or 8.9%, due primarily to increased occupancy. This increase was partially
offset by converting the restaurant operations of the Bourbon Orleans Hotel
from owner operated to a third-party net lease in the fourth quarter of 1994.
Conference center revenue increased from approximately $1,970,000 to
$2,149,000, an increase of $179,000 or 9.0%, due primarily to increased
conference revenue resulting from improvement in the overall business climate.
Telephone and other revenue increased from approximately $4,660,000 to
$5,593,000, an increase of $933,000 or 20.0%. Of the total increase in
telephone and other revenue, $378,000 or 40.5% was attributable to inclusion of
a full year of activity for the hotels acquired in 1993. On a same property
basis, telephone and other revenue increased $555,000 or 12.9%, due primarily
to increased occupancy during the period.
 
  Departmental and other expenses increased from $61,555,000 to $70,888,000, an
increase of $9,333,000 or 15.2%, which represented a decrease as a percentage
of total revenue from 73.0% to 69.9%. As a result, income before fixed
expenses, gain on sale of assets and extraordinary item increased from 27.0% to
30.1% of total revenue. Of the total increase in departmental and other
expenses, $5,737,000 or 61.5% related to the inclusion of a full year of
operations in 1994 for the hotels acquired in 1993. On a same property basis,
departmental and other expenses increased $3,596,000 or 6.4% as a result of
increased operating costs at certain of the hotels. General and administrative
expenses increased $594,000 or 7.7%, while repairs and maintenance and
utilities remained relatively stable. Marketing expenses increased $482,000 or
7.2% as a result of increased marketing efforts at newly renovated hotels.
Management fees increased $362,000 or 12.6% as a result of increased hotel
revenues during the period.

  Fixed expenses increased from $19,797,000 to $23,815,000, representing an
increase of $4,018,000 or 20.3%, although fixed expenses as a percent of total
revenue remained constant at 23.5%. Of the total increase in fixed expenses,
$1,645,000 or 40.0% resulted from the inclusion of a full year of activity in
1994 for the three hotels acquired in 1993. On a same property basis,
depreciation and amortization increased $1,446,000 or 23.5% as a result of
improvements made to the hotels during 1993 and 1994. Real estate, personal
property taxes and insurance, remained relatively stable during the period,
while interest expense increased $993,000 or 11.0% as a result of new
indebtedness incurred by certain of the Initial Hotels.
 
  Net income increased from $2,909,000 in 1993 to $6,948,000 in 1994 as the
result of overall improvement in the operations of the Initial Hotels described
above.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
   
  In May 1996, the maximum amount available under the Line of Credit was
increased from $165,000,000 to $250,000,000 and certain modifications were
made, thereby increasing the Company's ability to borrow under the Line of
Credit. The Company currently has approximately $111,200,000 outstanding on the
Line of Credit. The Line of Credit is secured by mortgages on 23 of the Hotels.
Borrowings under the Line of Credit generally bear interest at a rate equal to
the 30-day LIBOR rate plus 1.9%. In connection with one of the Proposed
Acquisitions, the Company is negotiating with Paine Webber Real Estate to
extend a single asset mortgage loan of approximately $22,000,000 on economic
terms substantially similar to the Line of Credit.     
 
  In May 1996, the Company sold an aggregate of approximately $40,000,000 of
securities to an institutional investor in the Private Placement. The
securities consisted of 811,393 shares of Common Stock sold at $26.95 per share
and 662,391 Preferred OP Units sold at $27.375 per unit. The Common Stock is of
the same class as the Company's existing Common Stock and is entitled to the
same voting and dividend rights as all outstanding Common Stock, subject to
certain restrictions on the resale of the stock. The Preferred OP Units are
entitled to quarterly distributions equal to 103% of the current quarterly
dividends paid on the Common Stock. Distributions on the Preferred OP Units
increase or decrease concurrently with any changes in Common Stock dividends.
Generally, three years following issuance, the holders may exchange the
Preferred OP Units for shares of Common Stock on a one-for-one basis, subject
to certain adjustments and limitations. After 10 years, the Company will have
the right to exchange all outstanding Preferred OP Units for shares of Common
Stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment.
 
  In addition, the Company is evaluating other permanent sources of capital,
including equity and long-term debt. It is expected that additional common or
preferred stock offerings will be used both to acquire hotel properties and to
limit the Company's overall debt to market capitalization ratio.
   
  As previously discussed in "Proposed Acquisitions," the Company has entered
into contracts and a letter of intent to acquire a total of seven hotels in the
states of New York, Texas, Georgia, Michigan, Illinois and Florida. These
acquisitions are subject to a number of conditions including completion of the
Company's due diligence. The Company currently intends to use proceeds of this
Offering, Line of Credit borrowings and issuances of OP Units to acquire these
assets. While no definitive agreements with respect to the acquisition of any
additional hotels have been entered into, the Company expects additional
acquisitions will be completed during the remainder of 1996, which will be
funded through Line of Credit borrowings or permanent debt or equity financing.
    
  The Company's principal source of cash to meet its cash requirements,
including distributions to its shareholders, is its share of the Operating
Partnership's cash flow. The Operating Partnership's principal source of
revenue is lease payments under the Participating Leases. The Lessees' ability
to make rent payments to the Operating Partnership, and, therefore, the
Company's liquidity, including the ability to make distributions to its
shareholders, is dependent upon the Lessees' ability to generate sufficient
cash flow from operation of the Hotels. The Lessees are current in their
payments to the Company under the Participating Leases.
 
                                       49
<PAGE>
 
  Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 1996 were $8,098,000, including
capital improvement reserves of $1,806,000. Cash flows from operating
activities of the Company was $9,002,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1996, which primarily represents collection of rents under the Participating
Leases, less the Company's operating expenses for the period. Cash flows used
in investing activities in the amount of $37,838,000 resulted from the
acquisition of hotel properties. Cash flows from financing activities of
$32,165,000 was primarily related to $40,750,000 in borrowings on the Line of
Credit, net of dividends and distributions paid during the quarter.
 
RENOVATIONS AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
   
  Pursuant to the Participating Leases, the Company is obligated to establish a
reserve for each Hotel for capital improvements, including the periodic
replacement or refurbishment of F, F & E. The aggregate amount of such reserves
averages 4.0% of total revenue, with the amount of such reserve with respect to
each Hotel based upon projected capital requirements of such Hotel. Management
believes such reserves will generally be sufficient to fund recurring capital
expenditures for the Hotels. Capital expenditures, exclusive of renovations,
will exceed 4.0% of total revenues in 1996 for the reasons described below.
       
  The Company has budgeted $7,500,000 to fund capital expenditures, excluding
renovations, at the Initial Hotels in 1996 and approximately $3,300,000 to
complete capital expenditures, excluding renovations, in 1996 for Hotels
acquired subsequent to the Initial Offering, including the WestCoast Portfolio,
the Hyatt Regency Lexington and the Doubletree Denver/Boulder, acquired in
April, May and June 1996, respectively. The $10,800,000 total exceeds
anticipated reserves in 1996, as the Company has been required to complete
certain capital improvements by franchisors (in connection with the transfer of
franchise licenses) and has decided to accelerate certain capital improvements
which were originally planned to be completed over a longer period. The
budgeted capital expenditures also include upgrades of telephone systems, other
major equipment purchases and improvements management believes will immediately
enhance the revenue producing capabilities of certain of the Hotels.     
   
  In addition to the above expenditures, the Company also has plans to commence
or complete renovation projects at several Hotels during 1996, including the
Crockett Hotel, the Tremont House Hotel, the Crowne Plaza Ravinia, the Del Mar
Hilton Hotel, the WestCoast Long Beach Hotel and Marina and the Doubletree
Denver/Boulder. Total renovation cost is expected to be approximately
$16,500,000 (including approximately $8,500,000 to renovate the Tremont House
Hotel). The Company has spent approximately $900,000 through March 31, 1996 and
expects to spend the remainder in 1996 and early 1997. The Company will finance
these renovations with draws on its Line of Credit, operating cash flow in
excess of distributions and reserves, and/or through permanent debt or equity
financing. Funding for $1,066,000 of the Crowne Plaza Ravinia renovation will
come from a reserve provided by the seller at the closing date. With respect to
the Wyndham Portfolio, the Company has budgeted approximately $1,900,000 to
complete renovations at certain of these hotels and expects to complete these
renovations by the end of 1997. Such expenditures will be in addition to
capital expenditure reserves for these properties. The Company attempts to
schedule renovations and improvements during traditionally lower occupancy
periods in an effort to minimize disruption to the hotel's operations.
Therefore, the Company does not believe such renovations and capital
improvements will have a material effect on the results of operations of the
Hotels.     
 
INFLATION
 
  Operators of hotels in general possess the ability to adjust room rates
quickly. However, competitive pressures may limit the Lessees' ability to raise
room rates in the face of inflation.
 
SEASONALITY
 
  The hotel industry is seasonal in nature. Revenues at certain of the Hotels
are greater in the first and second quarters of a calendar year and at other
Hotels in the second and third quarters of a calendar year. Seasonal variations
in revenue at the Hotels may cause quarterly fluctuations in the Company's
lease revenue.

                               THE HOTEL INDUSTRY
   
  The United States lodging industry is in the midst of a continuing recovery
from an extended period of unprofitable performance in the late 1980s and early
1990s. The Company expects that this broad industry recovery will contribute to
growth in revenues at the Hotels (and hotels subsequently acquired by the
Company) and thus to increases in the Company's Cash Available for
Distribution.     
 
  The hotel industry experienced an extended period of unprofitable performance
from 1986 to 1991. The industry downturn resulted from a dramatic increase in
the supply of hotel rooms that significantly outpaced growth in demand. The
growth in supply, which resulted from the development of new hotels, was
supported by the availability of financing from banks, savings and loans,
insurance companies, high yield bonds and various tax incentives. According to
Smith Travel, and as demonstrated in the chart below, total room supply in the
United States increased by 32%, or approximately 750,000 rooms, from 1980 to
1991. Of this increase, approximately 567,000 rooms were added between 1985 and
1991. In all but two of these years (1988 and 1989), increases in supply
substantially exceeded growth in demand. In some years, demand remained flat or
even declined. As a result of this extended supply/demand imbalance, overall
hotel occupancy rates dropped steadily from 70.6% in 1980 to a 20-year low of
60.9% in 1991. The graph set forth below illustrates the relationship between
supply, demand and occupancy. Increases in demand in excess of increases in
supply necessarily result in higher occupancy.

                                       51
<PAGE>
 
   
  The hotel industry began its recovery in 1992. New hotel construction
declined considerably as lenders who previously supported development focused
on restructurings and foreclosures of existing hotel loans. With minimal new
capital available for hotel construction, the growth in room supply declined
from a high of 4.2% in 1988 to 1.0% in 1993, and averaged approximately 1.3%
from 1993 through 1995. By contrast, room demand has increased with the
improving economy, and average occupancy and room rates have moved steadily
upward. According to Smith Travel, overall hotel occupancy increased from
60.9% in 1991 to 65.5% in 1995. Average room rate growth increased from 1.4%
in 1992 to 4.8% in 1995. Analysts generally expect overall occupancy growth to
be limited in future years, with continuing growth in average room rates.     
   
  While the hotel industry's recovery has been broad-based, the Company
expects the greatest continuing growth to occur in the full service segment of
the industry. Accordingly, the Company intends to continue to focus its
acquisition activities primarily on full service hotels. The Company also
believes the hotel industry's difficulties in the 1980's have produced a more
responsible relationship between hotel developers and financing sources. As a
result, the Company expects future additions to hotel supply, particularly in
the full service sector, will be more demand-driven, minimizing the
overbuilding in key markets that characterized supply growth in the late
1980's, and increasing the prospect for profitable hotel industry growth for
the foreseeable future.     
 
                   THE HOTELS AND THE PROPOSED ACQUISITIONS
   
  The Hotels are diversified by franchise or brand affiliation and product
type, including 27 full service hotels, 5 limited service hotels and an
executive conference center. The Company believes the diversity of its
portfolio moderates the potential effects on the Company of changes in local
market competition or developments affecting specific franchises, hotel
markets or price segments in the hotel industry. The Hotels are located
primarily in major metropolitan areas with convenient access to interstate
highways, commercial airports and other transportation facilities, local
business centers and tourist attractions. The Company's acquisition activities
are focused on full service hotels serving major U.S. business centers and
primary tourist destinations.     
 
  Consistent with the Company's acquisition strategy, the Proposed
Acquisitions consist of seven full service hotels, all of which are located in
major metropolitan areas, including the Company's first full service hotel
acquisitions in the metropolitan New York and Chicago areas.
 
  The tables on the following pages set forth certain information with respect
to the Hotels and the Proposed Acquisitions.

(1) The Company defines a renovation as a significant upgrade of guest rooms
    or common areas with capital expenditures averaging at least $1,000 per
    guest room for limited service hotels and at least $1,500 per guest room
    for full service hotels and conference centers. In some cases, renovations
    occurred over more than one calendar year. Year renovated reflects the
    calendar year in which the most recent of such renovations were completed.
    Information on renovations for Recent Acquisitions and Proposed
    Acquisitions was provided by prior owners.     
   
(2) Under the terms of the Participating Leases, Lessees are obligated to pay
    the greater of Base Rent or Participating Rent, plus certain additional
    amounts ("Additional Charges") which vary with the Participating Lease.
           
(3) The Company calculates Average Occupancy based upon total number of paid
    rooms (excluding rooms for which no charge has been made) divided by the
    total number of available rooms. Average Daily Rate is calculated using
    paid occupied rooms.     
   
(4) REVPAR is determined by dividing room revenue by available rooms for the
    applicable period.     
   
(5) This Hotel secures the Line of Credit.     
   
(6) The Company intends to increase the room count at this Hotel to 322 rooms
    in connection with a planned $8.5 million renovation. At present only 283
    of the 288 rooms are utilized as guest rooms.     
   
(7) This Hotel currently contains unused restaurant space. The Company intends
    to complete the build out of a restaurant in this space, thereby
    converting the Hotel from a limited service to a full service property.
           
(8) It is anticipated that this hotel will secure the Line of Credit.     
   
(9) The Crowne Plaza Ravinia is not leased. The Company's share of net income
    and share of funds from operations from PAH Ravinia were $3,912,000 and
    $5,822,000, respectively, on a pro forma basis for the twelve months ended
    March 31, 1996.     
       
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION REGARDING SIGNIFICANT PROPERTIES
 
  Crowne Plaza Ravinia--Atlanta, Georgia. The Crowne Plaza Ravinia is located
on a 10-acre wooded site just off Atlanta's perimeter freeway. The Hotel is
located adjacent to Holiday Inn Worldwide headquarters and directly across the
street from Perimeter Center Mall, one of the Southeast's largest upscale
shopping malls. The 15-story Hotel contains 495 guest rooms, including 29
suites, and three restaurants. The Hotel features a three-story greenhouse
lobby, 20 meeting rooms, a grand ballroom, an amphitheatre, an atrium-style
boardroom, and a Crowne Plaza Club floor. The Company believes that the Crowne
Plaza Ravinia competes effectively in its market because of its desirable
location and superior facilities compared to other hotels which cater
primarily to business travelers. The Hotel has excellent highway access
allowing for easy travel within the Atlanta area.
   
  The Crowne Plaza Ravinia constitutes more than 10% of the aggregate
historical cost basis of the Hotels. The aggregate tax basis of depreciable
real and personal property at the Crowne Plaza Ravinia for federal income tax
purposes was approximately $34.8 million and $5.5 million, respectively, as of
December 31, 1995. Depreciation is computed for federal income tax purposes
using the straight-line method over a 40 year life for the real property and
declining balances methods over lives which range from 5 years to 7 years for
the personal property.     
   
  The 1995 realty tax base for the Crowne Plaza Ravinia was $41.51 per $1,000
of assessed value. The total annual tax at this rate for 1995 was
approximately $393,600.     
 
  The Company owns a 99% non-voting ownership interest in PAH Ravinia, Inc.,
the entity that owns the Crowne Plaza Ravinia. See "Risk Factors--Risk of
Investment in Subsidiaries."

located at the intersection of Interstate 45 and Sam Houston Parkway, 20 miles
north of downtown Houston and 10 minutes from Houston Intercontinental
Airport. The Hotel is located directly across the street from the Greenspoint
Mall. The 15-story hotel contains 472 guest rooms, including 50 suites, and
features modern gothic architecture and a 45-foot high atrium lobby. The
Company believes that the Hotel competes effectively in its market because of
its desirable location and superior accommodations as compared to competing
business hotels.     
   
  Upon acquisition, the Wyndham Greenspoint Hotel will constitute more than
10% of the aggregate historical cost basis of the Hotels. The aggregate tax
basis of depreciable real and personal property at the Wyndham Greenspoint
Hotel for federal income tax purposes was approximately $55.3 million and $14
million, respectively, as of December 31, 1995. Depreciation is computed for
federal income tax purposes using the straight-line method over a 40 year life
for the real property and declining balance methods over nine year lives for

THE PARTICIPATING LEASES
   
  The Company leases each of the Hotels, except the Crowne Plaza Ravinia Hotel
which is owned through a special purpose corporation, to a Lessee pursuant to
a separate Participating Lease. The terms of the Participating Leases with
each of CHC Lease Partners, NorthCoast, Metro Lease Partners and the
Doubletree Lessee are discussed below. The proposed terms of the Participating
Leases with the Wyndham Lessee are also described below. Capitalized terms
used in this section not otherwise defined have the meaning as defined in the
respective Participating Leases or the Lease Master Agreement.     
   
 CHC LEASE PARTNERS     
 
  The Operating Partnership leases the Initial Hotels, the Tremont House
Hotel, the Holiday Inn Lenox and the Del Mar Hilton to CHC Lease Partners for
staggered terms of between ten and twelve years pursuant to separate
Participating Leases that provide for lease payments equal to the greater of
Base Rent or Participating Rent, plus certain Additional Charges as
applicable. In addition, the Company and CHC Lease Partners have entered into
a Lease Master Agreement (the "Lease Master Agreement"), which sets forth CHC
Lease Partners required capitalization and certain other matters. Each
Participating Lease with CHC Lease Partners' contains the provisions described
below. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the Participating
Leases and the Lease Master Agreement, filed as exhibits to the Registration
Statement of which this Prospectus is a part.
   
  Participating Lease Terms. The Participating Leases have an average term of
approximately eleven years, with expiration dates staggered between the years
2005 and 2008, subject to earlier termination upon the occurrence of certain
contingencies described in the Participating Leases (including, particularly,
the provisions described herein under "Damage to Hotels," "Condemnation of
Hotels," "Termination of Participating Leases for Failure to Meet Performance
Goals" and "Termination of Participating Leases upon Disposition of Hotels").
       
  Base Rent; Participating Rent; Additional Charges. Each Participating Lease
requires CHC Lease Partners to pay (i) the greater of Base Rent in a fixed
amount or Participating Rent based on certain percentages of room revenue,
food and beverage revenue and telephone and other revenue at each Hotel leased
by it and (ii) certain Additional Charges, including interest accrued on any
late payments. Base Rent and Participating Rent departmental thresholds
increase annually by a percentage equal to the percentage increase in CPI (as
defined in the Glossary) (generally CPI percentage increase plus 0.75% in the
case of the Participating Rent departmental thresholds) compared to the prior
year. With respect to the recently acquired Hotels leased by CHC Lease
Partners, initial Base Rents have been set at higher levels and the CPI
adjustment is limited to cover only certain costs (real estate taxes, etc.)
incurred by the Company. Base Rent is required to be paid monthly in arrears
by the first day of each calendar month, and Participating Rent is payable
monthly in arrears by the tenth day of each calendar month and is calculated
based on the year-to-date departmental receipts as of the end of the preceding
month, and a prorated amount of each of the applicable departmental thresholds
determined based on the month, or portion thereof, of the fiscal year for
which the calculation is being made, and crediting against such amount the
total Participating Rent previously paid for such fiscal year and the
cumulative Base Rent paid for such fiscal year as of the end of the preceding
month. A final adjustment of the Participating Rent for each fiscal year is
made, based on audited statements of revenue for each Hotel.     
 
  Other than real estate and personal property taxes, casualty insurance
including loss of income insurance, capital impositions and capital
replacements and refurbishments (determined in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles) and ground rent (with respect to the Holiday
Inn Lenox), which are obligations of the Company, the Participating Leases
require CHC Lease Partners to make lease payments and pay insurance, all costs
and expenses and all utility and other charges incurred in the operation of
the Hotels leased by it. The Participating Leases also provide for rent
reductions and abatements in the event of damage or destruction or a partial
taking of any Hotel as described under "Damage to Hotels" and "Condemnation of
Hotels. "
 
 
                                      59

  CHC Lease Partners Capitalization. CHC Lease Partners is required to
maintain the Minimum Net Worth, as defined, which must be equal to the greater
of (i) $10 million or (ii) 17.5% of the initial projected annual lease
payments for all hotels leased by the Company to CHC Lease Partners. As part
of the Minimum Net Worth, CHC Lease Partners is required to maintain adequate
working capital for the term of the Participating Leases. The balance of the
Minimum Net Worth may consist of OP Units, cash, marketable securities or
shares of Common Stock. Inventory with a value of $1.0 million ($1.4 million
for the first two years of the term of the Participating Leases), which CHC
Lease Partners is not required to return to the Company upon the termination
of the Participating Leases, is included in the calculation of CHC Lease
Partners' Minimum Net Worth. The Minimum Net Worth is available to make
payments under the Participating Leases and to fund operational shortfalls if
operating cash flow is inadequate. In addition to maintaining the Minimum Net
Worth, CHC Lease Partners is not permitted to make payments or distributions
of any kind (other than Base Rent, Participating Rent and Additional Charges
payable to the Company, hotel operating expenses, management fees and other
payments equal to no more than 3.0% of the gross revenue of the hotels leased
by CHC Lease Partners, CHC Lease Partners overhead expenses not to exceed in
any calendar year the interest, dividend and OP Unit distribution income and
capital gains ("Investment Income") of CHC Lease Partners plus $200,000, and
distributions to the owners of CHC Lease Partners of the portion of Investment
Income not used to pay CHC Lease Partners overhead expenses) unless its
Minimum Net Worth exceeds the greater of (i) $11 million or (ii) 17.5% of the
trailing twelve months' actual lease payments for hotels leased to CHC Lease
Partners during all of such period plus the current projected annual lease
payments of the hotels leased to CHC Lease Partners during such period.
Failure by CHC Lease Partners to maintain capitalization in an amount equal to
or greater than the Minimum Net Worth will result in a cross-default of all
leases to which CHC Lease Partners is a party. In the event that the lease for
one or more of the Hotels is terminated (other than as a result of a default
by CHC Lease Partners), the $10 million portion of the Minimum Net Worth
requirement will be reduced on a pro rata basis, provided that if CHC Lease
Partners has leased additional hotels, such pro rata reduction shall be
decreased by the pro rata amount of CHC Lease Partners' Minimum Net Worth
requirement attributable to such additional hotels. The portion of CHC Lease
Partners' capital relied upon to satisfy its Minimum Net Worth requirement may
be invested only in the following: (i) hotel working capital; (ii) investment
grade marketable securities; (iii) shares of Common Stock or OP Units; and
(iv) coinvestments with the Company in specific hotels, if any.
   
  Management Fees. CHC Lease Partners has entered into Management Agreements
with certain subsidiaries of CHC and GAH to manage 19 of the Initial Hotels,
the Tremont House Hotel, the Holiday Inn Lenox and the Del Mar Hilton. These
agreements provide for management fees based upon a percentage of total
revenues at each of the Hotels managed by them. The Management Agreements for
these hotels provide for management fees of 2.50% of total revenues in 1996,
2.75% in 1997, and 3.0% each year thereafter for the remainder of the term of
the Participating Lease. All management fees paid by CHC Lease Partners are
subject to certain limitations related to results of operations of the Hotels
leased by it. The Participating Leases provide that all payments to the
Operators from CHC Lease Partners are subordinate to CHC Lease Partners'
obligations to the Company. CHC Lease Partners has entered into a management
agreement with Metro Hotels for the management of the Holiday Inn Select North
Dallas on substantially the same terms and conditions as the Management
Agreements; however, the management fee payable to Metro Hotels equals 3.0% of
the total revenue at such hotel. Except as described below, in the event of
the termination of any of the Participating Leases with CHC Lease Partners,
the related Management Agreement will also terminate.     
 
  Maintenance and Improvements. The Participating Leases obligate the Company
to establish annually a reserve for capital improvements at the Hotels leased
to CHC Lease Partners. The Company and CHC Lease Partners agree on the use of
funds in these reserves, and the Company has the right to approve CHC Lease
Partners' annual and long-term capital expenditure budgets. The aggregate
minimum amount of such reserves averages 4.0% of total revenue for these
Hotels, with the amount of such reserve with respect to each such Hotel based
upon projected capital requirements of such Hotel. The Company, at its
election, may choose to expend more than 4.0% on any Hotel. Any unexpended
amounts remain the property of the Company upon termination of the applicable
Participating Lease. Otherwise, CHC Lease Partners is required, at its
expense, to maintain the
 
                                      60
<PAGE>
 
Hotels leased by it in good order and repair, except for ordinary wear and
tear, and to make repairs (other than capital repairs) which may be necessary
and appropriate to keep such Hotels in good order and repair.
 
  CHC Lease Partners is not obligated to bear the cost of any capital
improvements or capital repairs to the Hotels leased by it. With the consent
of the Company however, CHC Lease Partners, at its expense, may make non-
capital and capital additions, modifications or improvements to the Hotels,
provided that such action does not significantly alter their character or
purposes and maintains or enhances the value of the Hotels. All such
alterations, replacements and improvements are subject to all the terms and
provisions of the Participating Leases and will become the property of the
Company upon termination of the Participating Leases. The Company owns
substantially all personal property (other than inventory, linens and other
nondepreciable personal property) not affixed to, or deemed a part of, the
real estate or improvements on the Hotels, except to the extent that ownership
of such personal property would cause any portion of the rents under the
Participating Leases not to qualify as "rents from real property" for REIT
income test purposes. See "Federal Income Tax Considerations--Requirements for
Qualification--Income Tests."
 
  Insurance and Property Taxes. The Company is responsible for paying for (i)
real estate and personal property taxes (except to the extent that personal
property associated with the Hotels is owned by CHC Lease Partners), (ii)
casualty insurance and (iii) business interruption insurance on the Hotels
leased to CHC Lease Partners. CHC Lease Partners is required to pay or
reimburse the Company for all liability insurance on the Hotels leased by it,
with extended coverage, including comprehensive general public liability,
workers' compensation and other insurance appropriate and customary for
properties similar to the Hotels and with the Company as an additional named
insured.
 
  Events of Default. Events of Default under the Participating Leases and the
Lease Master Agreement include, among others, the following:
 
    (i) the failure by CHC Lease Partners to pay Base or Participating Rent
  when due;
 
    (ii) the failure of CHC Lease Partners to pay for required insurance;
 
    (iii) the failure of CHC Lease Partners to maintain the Minimum Net
  Worth;
 
    (iv) if CHC Lease Partners shall generally not be paying its debts as
  they become due or file a petition for relief or reorganization or
  arrangement or any other petition in bankruptcy, for liquidation or to take
  advantage of any bankruptcy or insolvency law of any jurisdiction, make an
  assignment for the benefit of its creditors, consent to the appointment of
  a custodian, receiver, trustee or other similar officer with respect to it
  or any substantial part of its assets, be adjudicated insolvent or take
  corporate action for the purpose of any of the foregoing; or if a court or
  governmental authority of competent jurisdiction shall enter an order
  appointing, without consent by CHC Lease Partners, a custodian, receiver,
  trustee or other similar officer with respect to CHC Lease Partners or any
  substantial part of its assets, or if an order for relief shall be entered
  in any case or proceeding for liquidation or reorganization or otherwise to
  take advantage of any bankruptcy or insolvency law of any jurisdiction, or
  ordering the dissolution, winding-up or liquidation of CHC Lease Partners,
  or if any petition for any such relief shall be filed against CHC Lease
  Partners and such petition shall not be dismissed within 120 days;
 
    (v) if CHC Lease Partners is liquidated or dissolved or commences
  proceedings to effect the same, or ceases to do business or sells all or
  substantially all of its assets;
 
    (vi) the failure by CHC Lease Partners to observe or perform any other
  term of a Participating Lease and the continuation of such failure for a
  period of 30 days after receipt by CHC Lease Partners of notice from the
  Company thereof, unless CHC Lease Partners is diligently proceeding to
  cure, in which case the cure period will be extended to 180 days; if such
  failure cannot be cured within the 180 day period and CHC Lease Partners
  continues to act, with diligence, to correct such failure within said 180
  days, CHC Lease Partners will be afforded up to an additional 90 days to
  cure such failure;
 
 
                                      61
<PAGE>
 
    (vii) if CHC Lease Partners voluntarily discontinues operations of a
  Hotel for more than 30 days, except as a result of damage, destruction,
  condemnation or force majeure; or
 
    (viii) if an event of default beyond applicable cure periods occurs under
  the Franchise License with respect to any Hotel as a result of any action
  or failure to act by CHC Lease Partners or its agents (including the
  Operators).
 
  In addition, a default of the type described in paragraphs (i) through (v)
above will result in a cross-default of all other Participating Leases to
which CHC Lease Partners is a party.
 
  Indemnification. Under each of the Participating Leases, CHC Lease Partners
indemnifies, and holds harmless, the Company from and against all liabilities,
costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses)
incurred by, imposed upon or asserted against the Company on account of, among
other things, (i) any accident or injury to persons or property on or about
the Hotels leased by it, (ii) any misuse by CHC Lease Partners or any of its
agents of the leased property, (iii) any environmental liability caused or
resulting from any action or negligence of CHC Lease Partners (see "The
Hotels--Environmental Matters"); (iv) taxes and assessments in respect of the
Hotels leased by CHC Lease Partners (other than real estate and personal
property taxes and income taxes of the Company on income attributable to such
Hotels and capital impositions); (v) the sale or consumption of alcoholic
beverages on or in the real property or improvements thereon; or (vi) any
breach of the Participating Leases by CHC Lease Partners; provided, however,
that such indemnification will not be construed to require CHC Lease Partners
to indemnify the Company against the Company's own grossly negligent acts or
omissions or willful misconduct.
 
  Assignment and Subleasing. CHC Lease Partners is not permitted to sublet all
or any part of the Hotels leased by it or assign its interest under any of the
Participating Leases, other than to an affiliate, without the prior written
consent of the Company. The Company has generally agreed to consent to any
sublease of a retail portion of the Hotels leased by CHC Lease Partners
(provided such sublease will not cause any Rents to fail to qualify as "rents
from real property" for REIT purposes). No assignment or subletting will
release CHC Lease Partners from any of its obligations under the Participating
Leases.
 
  Participating Lease Modifications. In the event that (i) a Franchise License
is terminated under circumstances that do not constitute an Event of Default
(as described above) or (ii) the Company approves the conversion of a
sublessee of a Hotel into an operating department thereof or vice versa, the
applicable Participating Lease provisions will be modified accordingly.
 
  Damage to Hotels. In the event of damage to or destruction of any Hotel
covered by insurance which then renders the lease property unsuitable for its
intended use and occupancy as a hotel, the Participating Lease shall
terminate, and the Company shall generally be entitled to retain the proceeds
of insurance. In the event that damage to or destruction of a Hotel which is
covered by insurance does not render the leased property unsuitable for its
intended use and occupancy as a hotel, the Company or, at the Company's
option, CHC Lease Partners generally will be obligated to repair or restore
the hotel to substantially the same condition as existed immediately prior to
such damage. In the event of damage to or destruction of any Hotel that is not
covered by insurance, the Company may either repair, rebuild or restore the
hotel (at the Company's expense) to substantially the same condition as
existed immediately prior to such damage or terminate the Participating Lease
on the terms and conditions set forth in such Participating Lease.
 
  Condemnation of Hotels. In the event of a total condemnation of a Hotel, the
relevant Participating Lease will terminate with respect to such hotel as of
the date of taking, and the Company and CHC Lease Partners will be entitled to
their shares of any condemnation award in accordance with the provisions of
the Participating Lease. In the event of a partial taking which does not
render the property unsuitable for its intended use as a hotel, then the
Company or, at the Company's election, CHC Lease Partners shall restore the
untaken portion of the property, and the Company shall contribute to the cost
of such restoration that part of the condemnation award specified for
restoration.
 
                                      62
<PAGE>
 
  Termination of Participating Leases for Failure to Meet Performance
Goals. The Company will have the right to terminate the Participating Lease
for a Hotel if the Hotel fails to generate 90% of its annual budgeted room
revenue for any two lease years during the term of the applicable
Participating Lease, unless such failure is caused by an act of God or other
force majeure events, including material, extraordinary economic events not
reasonably foreseeable at the time the annual budget was prepared. In the
event that a Hotel fails to meet this performance goal in any given year, CHC
Lease Partners may cure such failure by paying to the Company the
Participating Rent payment that would have been payable had the hotel
generated 90% of its budgeted room revenue for the applicable period. This
cure payment will not affect CHC Lease Partners' obligations with respect to
Participating Rent for revenue categories other than rooms.
 
  In the event that annual Participating Rent (as calculated using the
applicable Participating Rent formulas) at the Initial Hotels initially is
less than $33.8 million (the "Minimum Participating Rent Standard"), the
Company shall have the option to terminate all of the Participating Leases.
The Minimum Participating Rent Standard will increase by approximately 123% of
the initial Base Rent for subsequently acquired hotels that are leased to CHC
Lease Partners, plus an amount equal to 0.75% annually. The Minimum
Participating Rent Standard will be reduced on a pro rata basis in the event
that any Participating Leases are terminated. The Minimum Participating Rent
Standard is intended to ensure that the Company can retake possession of the
Initial Hotels (and any subsequently acquired hotels leased to CHC Lease
Partners) in the event that Participating Rent payments substantially decline.
 
  Collateralized Capitalization. Until October 1998, $4 million of CHC Lease
Partners' capitalization is pledged to the Company and shall be forfeited by
CHC Lease Partners in the event that during this period, the Participating
Leases are terminated following an event of default or termination for failure
to maintain the Minimum Net Worth or to meet performance goals under one or
more of CHC Lease Partners' leases. A termination of or default under fewer
than all of the Participating Leases will result in a forfeiture of a pro rata
portion of such amount. Such forfeiture will not alter CHC Lease Partners'
obligations in the event of a default, and CHC Lease Partners' total remaining
capitalization will remain available to satisfy such obligations.
 
  Termination of Participating Leases upon Disposition of Hotels. In the event
the Company enters into an agreement to sell or otherwise transfer a Hotel
leased to CHC Lease Partners, the Company, at its option, must either (i) pay
CHC Lease Partners the fair market value of CHC Lease Partners' leasehold
interest in the remaining term of the relevant Participating Lease or (ii)
offer to lease to CHC Lease Partners a substitute hotel or hotels on terms
that would create a leasehold interest in such hotel with a fair market value
equal to or exceeding the fair market value of CHC Lease Partners' remaining
leasehold interest under the relevant Participating Lease.
 
  Termination of Participating Leases upon Change in Tax Laws. In the event
that changes in federal income tax laws allow the Company or a subsidiary or
affiliate to operate hotels directly, the Company has the right to terminate
all, but not less than all, Participating Leases with CHC Lease Partners, in
which event the Company will enter into management contracts with affiliates
of CHC Lease Partners for the terminated hotels at a rate equal to 3% of gross
revenue and upon market terms and conditions to be mutually agreed upon. In
addition, the Company will pay CHC Lease Partners the fair market value of the
remaining term of the Participating Leases, less the fair market value of the
new management agreements to be entered into (assuming terms for such
management agreements equal to the remaining terms of the applicable
Participating Leases).
 
 
  Franchise Licenses. CHC Lease Partners is the licensee under each of the
Franchise Licenses on the Hotels leased to it. The franchisors have agreed
that upon the occurrence of certain events of default by CHC Lease Partners
under a Franchise License, the franchisors will transfer the Franchise License
for the Hotel to the Company (or its designee) or make other arrangements to
continue the Hotel as part of the franchisor's system. See "Franchise
Agreements."
 
 
                                      63
<PAGE>
 
  Other Lease Covenants. CHC Lease Partners has agreed that during the term of
the Participating Leases it will not engage in any unrelated business
activities. The owners of CHC Lease Partners and their parent entities have
agreed that, for the term of the Participating Leases, any sale of their
interests in CHC Lease Partners or of their hotel management businesses in
general will subject their interest in CHC Lease Partners to a limited fair
market value acquisition right (as defined in the applicable agreement) in
favor of a designee of the Company. In the event that the Company exercises
this right, the non-selling partner of CHC Lease Partners will have the right
to put its interest in CHC Lease Partners to the Company's designee at a price
equal to the fair market value of such interest (as defined in the applicable
agreement). The Participating Leases require CHC Lease Partners to make
available to the Company unaudited quarterly and audited annual operating
information for each hotel leased by CHC Lease Partners.
 
  Inventory. All inventory required in the operation of the Hotels was
transferred to CHC Lease Partners upon acquisition of the Hotel. Upon
termination of a related Participating Lease, CHC Lease Partners shall
surrender the related Hotel together with all such inventory to the Company,
excluding an inventory use allowance averaging approximately $50,000 ($70,000
if the Participating Lease is terminated during the first two years of its
term) at each of the Initial Hotels.
 
  Right of First Offer. CHC Lease Partners has a right of first offer to lease
additional hotels acquired by the Company until October 1997. The right of
first offer does not apply in the event that in the reasonable business
judgment of the Company's Board (a) a different lessee is necessary for the
Company to have the opportunity to acquire the hotel, or (b) CHC Lease
Partners is unqualified or inappropriate to be the lessee of the hotel. Under
the right of first offer, the Company gives CHC Lease Partners written notice
of the economic terms on which it is willing to lease the hotel. CHC Lease
Partners has 30 days following such notice to agree to lease the hotel on such
terms, and, if it fails to do so, the Company may lease the hotel to another
lessee on terms and conditions that are not economically less favorable to the
Company than those offered to CHC Lease Partners. CHC Lease Partners also
shall have the right to lease acquired hotels (on mutually satisfactory terms)
where CHC Lease Partners brings the acquisition opportunity to the Company.
       
       
NORTHCOAST
   
  The Operating Partnership leases each of the six Hotels in the WestCoast
Portfolio and the Hyatt Regency, Lexington to NorthCoast for staggered terms
of between ten and twelve years pursuant to separate participating leases (the
"NorthCoast Participating Leases"). The Operating Partnership and NorthCoast
have also entered into a separate master agreement for the lease of the Hotels
(the "NorthCoast Master Agreement"). The principal provisions of each
NorthCoast Participating Lease are substantially the same as those of the
Participating Leases with CHC Lease Partners summarized above, with specific
differences, some of which are described below.     
 
  Base Rent, Participating Rent. In each NorthCoast Participating Lease, the
Base Rent is a fixed amount each year with no formula for adjustments. For the
lease years 1997 and 1998, the prorated monthly installment of Base Rent
payable each month is adjusted up or down by an agreed amount to reflect
seasonal changes. NorthCoast has the option of deferring payment of the first
month of Base Rent, and to pay instead in equal installments through the end
of 1996. NorthCoast is required to pay interest at a rate of 9.75% on any such
deferred Base Rent. Participating Rent is calculated and payable based on
formulas similar in construction to those described in the Participating
Leases with CHC Lease Partners, with annual adjustments of departmental
thresholds determined by a formula based on CPI and an additional percentage
increase agreed to for each lease year. In the NorthCoast Participating
Leases, NorthCoast is also required to pay certain Additional Charges.
 
  NorthCoast Capitalization. NorthCoast is required to maintain a minimum net
worth which must be equal to the greater of (i) $2,929,000 or (ii) 20% of the
projected annual lease payments for the hotels in the WestCoast Portfolio. The
minimum net worth must be composed of certain components in specified minimum
amounts, including at least 15% in cash or certain cash equivalents. No more
than 25% of the minimum net worth can be composed of the LeParc Interest which
is defined to be a contribution to NorthCoast by Thomas H. Childers of either
a promissory note secured by an interest in LeParc Investment Group, LLC (the
"LeParc Entity") or a
 
                                      64
<PAGE>
 
direct interest in the LeParc Entity. NorthCoast is required to maintain
ownership of shares of Common Stock or OP Units with a value of $825,000.
North Coast's holdings of shares of Common Stock or OP Units must be increased
upon acquisition of the hotel owned by the LeParc Entity by the Operating
Partnership or if NorthCoast otherwise liquidates its interest in the Leparc
Entity, by the amount of the proceeds of such sale or liquidation, but not
more than an additional $825,000.
   
  Management Fees and Marketing Agreements. NorthCoast has entered into a
Management Agreement for each of the hotels in the WestCoast Portfolio, except
the Hyatt Newporter Hotel, with WestCoast Hotels. The Hyatt Newporter Hotel
and the Hyatt Regency, Lexington are managed by Hyatt under separate
Management Agreements. All management fees payable to WestCoast Hotels from
NorthCoast greater than 1% of hotel revenues are subordinate on a month-to-
month basis to NorthCoast's obligations to the Company. Management fees to
Hyatt are not expressly subordinate to NorthCoast's obligations to the
Company. However, any failure by NorthCoast to make lease payments remains an
event of default under the applicable Participating Lease. The management fees
for the WestCoast Long Beach Hotel and Marina are based on the following
formula: for 1996, the monthly fee is 1% of the prior month's gross room
revenue as defined; for 1997 and thereafter, the monthly fee is 2% of the
prior month's gross room revenue. For each of the other hotels in the
WestCoast Portfolio managed by WestCoast Hotels the annualized management fees
are: for 1996, $26,520; for 1997, $57,600; and for 1998 and thereafter,
$57,600, all increased by a CPI factor. Additionally, NorthCoast has entered
into a joint marketing agreement for each of the WestCoast branded Hotels with
WestCoast Hotel Marketing, Inc., which will receive 2.5% of gross room revenue
as well as certain reservation fees in connection with the use of the
WestCoast brand. For the Hyatt Newporter Hotel, Hyatt receives a management
fee equal to: (a) 3.5% of annual gross revenue (as defined); plus (b) an
additional 0.5% of gross revenue payable only if there is available cash flow
(as defined) greater than the basic 3.5% fee; plus (c) an incentive fee of 10%
of profits (as defined) over $2 million. For the Hyatt Regency Lexington,
Hyatt receives a management fee equal to the greater of (a) 5% of annual gross
revenue (as defined) (not including revenues from meeting rooms and banquets)
plus 3.5% of gross revenue related to meeting rooms and banquets or (b) 20% of
profits (as defined).     
 
  Each of the Management Agreements with WestCoast Hotels can be terminated
upon the occurrence of several contingencies, including sale of the Hotel. The
Management Agreements with Hyatt for the Hyatt Newporter Hotel and the Hyatt
Regency, Lexington both predate the Company's purchase of the Hotel and give
Hyatt the right to consent to the sale of the Hotel, which sale would be
subject to the existing Management Agreement.
 
  NorthCoast does not have a right of first offer to lease additional hotels
from the Company.
          
OTHER LESSEES     
   
  Metro Lease Partners. PA Hunt Valley Investor, L.P. leases the Embassy
Suites, Hunt Valley to Metro Hotels Leasing Corporation for a term of 12 years
pursuant to a Participating Lease with terms and conditions substantially
similar to the Participating Leases with CHC Lease Partners. Metro Lease
Partners is required to maintain a minimum net worth of $515,000, which
represents approximately 25% of estimated Participating Rent for this Hotel in
1996. Metro Lease Partners does not have a right of first offer to lease
additional hotels acquired by the Company.     
   
  Metro Lease Partners has entered into a Management Agreement with Metro
Hotels for the management of the Embassy Suites, Hunt Valley which provides
for a base management fee equal to 2% of gross revenues. The Management
Agreement also provides for payment of an incentive management fee to Metro
Hotels based upon Net Cash Flow of the hotel, as defined. In the event of a
termination of a Participating Lease for the Embassy Suites, Hunt Valley, the
Management Agreement also will terminate. Under the Management Agreement, all
payments to Metro Hotels by Metro Lease Partners are subordinated on a month
to month basis to all lease payments owed to the Operating Partnership.     
   
  Doubletree Lessee. The Operating Partnership leases the Doubletree
Denver/Boulder to the Doubletree Lessee for a term of 10 years pursuant to a
Participating Lease with terms and conditions substantially similar to the
Participating Leases with CHC Lease Partners. The Doubletree Lessee is
required to maintain a minimum     
 
                                      65
<PAGE>
 
   
net worth of $400,000 or 20% of current year's budgeted lease payments. The
Doubletree Lessee does not have a right of first offer to lease additional
hotels acquired by the Company.     
   
  Base Rent, Participating Rent. Base Rent in the Participating Lease with the
Doubletree Lessee will be an amount fixed as a function of the acquisition and
renovation costs incurred by the Operating Partnership for the Hotel, subject
to annual CPI adjustments. Participating Rent is calculated and payable based
on formulas similar in construction to those described in the Participating
Leases for CHC Lease Partners, with annual adjustments of departmental
thresholds by a formula based on the CPI. Doubletree Lessee is also required
to pay certain Additional Charges.     
   
  Management. The Participating Lease for this Hotel requires that the
Doubletree Lessee enter into a Management Agreement and allows for a maximum
management fee of 3% of gross revenues as defined and requires the Management
Agreement may be terminated if the Participating Lease for this Hotel
terminates. The Participating Lease requires that all payments by the
Doubletree Lessee to the manager of the Hotel above 2% of gross revenues be
subordinated to all lease payments owed to the Operating Partnership for the
first two years of the term until the total lease payments made achieve a
defined minimum return. However, any failure of the Doubletree Lessee to make
lease payments remains an event of default under the Participating Lease.     
       
       
          
WYNDHAM LESSEE--PROPOSED PARTICIPATING LEASE     
   
  Upon completion of the Wyndham Portfolio acquisition, the Operating
Partnership intends to lease the five hotels in the Wyndham Portfolio to the
Wyndham Lessee for an initial term of 10 years with two five-year renewal
options, pursuant to separate Participating Leases (the "Wyndham Participating
Leases"), and to enter into a separate master lease agreement with the Wyndham
Lessee which will control all of the Wyndham Participating Leases (the
"Wyndham Master Agreement"). The principal provisions of each Wyndham
Participating Lease will be substantially similar to those of the
Participating Leases with CHC Lease Partners summarized above, with specific
differences, some of which are described below.     
   
  Base Rent, Participating Rent. In each Wyndham Participating Lease, the Base
Rent for each hotel will be an amount determined based on a percentage of
acquisition and renovation costs incurred by the Operating Partnership for the
hotel, subject to annual CPI adjustments. Participating Rent will be
calculated and payable based on formulas similar in construction to those
described in the Participating Leases for CHC Lease Partners, with annual
adjustments of departmental thresholds by a formula based on CPI and an
additional percentage increase. In the Wyndham Participating Leases, the
Wyndham Lessee will also be required to pay certain Additional Charges.     
   
  Wyndham Capitalization. The Wyndham Lessee will be required to maintain a
minimum net worth equal to the greater of (i) $3,000,000 and (ii) 20% of the
projected annual lease payments for the hotels in the Wyndham Portfolio
(unless the total number of rooms in all hotels leased by the parties
increases to above 1,585, in which case the required percentage will decrease
to 17.5%). The minimum net worth will be composed of certain components in
specified amounts which generally exclude intangible assets as defined by
GAAP.     
   
  Hotel Management. The Wyndham Participating Leases will give the Operating
Partnership the right to approve the terms of any Management Agreement entered
into by the Wyndham Lessee for any of the hotels in the Wyndham Portfolio and
will provide that if one of the Wyndham Participating Leases is terminated,
the Operating Partnership will also have the right to terminate the Management
Agreement for that hotel. The Wyndham Participating Leases will require that
management fees under any Management Agreement be subordinated only to
payments of Base Rent to the Operating Partnership. However, any failure by
the Wyndham Lessee to make any lease payments (Base Rent, Participating Rent
or Additional Charges, as applicable) will be an event of default under the
applicable Participating Lease.

CROWNE PLAZA RAVINIA
 
  The Crowne Plaza Ravinia, which is owned by an unconsolidated subsidiary of
the Company, is not operated by a lessee. The hotel is being managed by
Holiday Inns, Inc. for a period of 10 years (with two renewal terms of five
years each) pursuant to a management agreement between PAH Ravinia and Holiday
Inns, Inc. Under the terms of the management agreement, Holiday Inns, Inc.
receives base management fees equal to 4% of gross room revenue. A portion of
this fee is subordinated to the payment of a return on PAH Ravinia's invested
capital of 10.5% per annum. The management agreement also provides for payment
of an incentive fee to Holiday Inns, Inc., subject to PAH Ravinia's receipt of
an aggregate 12.5% per annum return on invested capital.
 
FRANCHISE AND BRAND AFFILIATIONS
   
  Twenty-nine of the Hotels are operated under franchise or brand affiliations
with nationally recognized hotel companies. The Company anticipates that most
of the additional hotel properties in which it invests will be operated under
franchise or brand affiliations. The Company believes the public's perception
of quality associated with a franchisor or brand operator is an important
feature in the operation of a hotel. Franchisors and brand operators provide a
variety of benefits for hotels which include national advertising, publicity
and other marketing programs designed to increase brand awareness, training of
personnel, continuous review of quality standards and centralized reservation
systems.     
 
  The Franchise Licenses generally specify certain management, operational,
recordkeeping, accounting, reporting and marketing standards and procedures
with which the Lessees must comply. The Franchise Licenses obligate the
Lessees to comply with the franchisors' standards and requirements with
respect to training of operational personnel, safety, maintaining specified
insurance, the types of services and products ancillary to guest room services
that may be provided by the Lessees, display of signage, and the type, quality
and age of F, F & E included in guest rooms, lobbies and other common areas.
 
  The Franchise Licenses provide for termination at the franchisor's option
upon the occurrence of certain events, including the Lessees' failure to pay
franchise royalties and fees or perform other covenants under the license
agreement, bankruptcy, abandonment of the franchise, commission of a felony,
assignment of the license without the consent of the franchisor, or failure to
comply with applicable law in the operation of the relevant Hotel. Lessees are
not entitled to terminate the Franchise License without receiving the prior
written consent of the Company. The license agreements will not renew
automatically upon expiration. The Lessees are responsible for making all
payments under the franchise agreements to the franchisors. Under the
franchise agreements, the Lessees pay franchise royalties and fees ranging
from 3.5% to 8% of room revenue, except in the case of the Marriott Troy Hotel
where the franchise royalties and fee equals 6% of room revenue and 3% of food
and beverage revenue.
 
  The Lessees' rights relating to branded Hotels are generally contained in
the Management Agreements related to those Hotels. The Lessees do not pay
additional royalties or fees other than those specified in the Management
Agreements for use of the brands. Generally, the Lessees' rights to use the
brands terminate upon any termination of the applicable Management Agreements.

EMPLOYEES
   
  The Company is self-administered and employs fourteen persons, including
Messrs. Nussbaum, Lattin, Stewart, Ng, Huntzicker and Murphy, and retains
appropriate support personnel to manage its operations in lieu of retaining an
advisor. All persons employed in the operation of the Hotels are employees of
the Operators or their affiliates.     
 
 
                                      69
<PAGE>
 
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
 
  Under various federal, state and local laws and regulations, an owner or
operator of real estate may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation
of certain hazardous or toxic substances on such property. Such laws often
impose such liability without regard to whether the owner knew of, or was
responsible for, the presence of hazardous or toxic substances. Furthermore, a
person that arranges for the transportation, disposal or treatment of a
hazardous or toxic substance at a property owned by another may be liable for
the costs of removal or remediation of such substance released into the
environment at that property. The costs of remediation or removal of such
substances may be substantial, and the presence of such substances, or the
failure to promptly remediate such substances, may adversely affect the
owner's ability to sell such real estate or to borrow using such real estate
as collateral. In connection with the ownership and operation of the Hotels,
the Company, the Operating Partnership or the Lessees, as the case may be, may
be potentially liable for such costs.
 
  Phase I ESAs have been performed on all of the Hotels by a qualified
independent environmental engineer. The purpose of the Phase I ESAs is to
identify potential sources of contamination for which the Hotels may be
responsible and to assess the status of environmental regulatory compliance.
The Phase I ESAs include historical reviews of the Hotels, reviews of certain
public records, preliminary investigations of the sites and surrounding
properties, screening for the presence of ACMs, polychlorinated biphenyls
("PCBs") and underground storage tanks, and the preparation and issuance of a
written report. The Phase I ESAs do not include invasive procedures, such as
soil sampling or ground water analysis.
 
  The ESAs have not revealed any environmental liability or compliance concern
that the Company believes would have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, assets, results of operations or liquidity, nor is the
Company aware of any such liability or concern. Nevertheless, it is possible
that the Phase I ESAs did not reveal all environmental liabilities or
compliance concerns or that material environmental liabilities or compliance
concerns exist of which the Company is currently unaware. Moreover, no
assurances can be given that (i) future laws, ordinances or regulations will
not impose any material environmental liability or (ii) the current
environmental condition of the Hotels will not be affected by the condition of
the properties in the vicinity of the Hotels (such as the presence of leaking
underground storage tanks) or by third parties unrelated to the Operating
Partnership or the Company.
 
  In reliance upon the Phase I ESAs, the Company believes the Hotels are in
compliance in all material respects with all federal, state and local
ordinances and regulations regarding hazardous or toxic substances and other
environmental matters. The Company has not been notified by any governmental
authority, and has no other knowledge of, any material noncompliance,
liability or claim relating to hazardous or toxic substances or other
environmental substances in connection with any of its Hotels, except as noted
below.
   
  Marriott WindWatch Hotel. The Marriott WindWatch Hotel, a Proposed
Acquisition, is in close proximity to a former municipal landfill, which has
been designated as an NPL site by the EPA. The Hotel property is downgradient
of the NPL site. An environmental consultant retained by the Company has
informed the Company that the current data relating to the NPL site does not
suggest any groundwater contamination from the former landfill has migrated
onto the Hotel property. The environmental consultant has also informed the
Company that it is unlikely that any groundwater contamination from the former
landfill will in the future migrate onto the hotel property resulting in
contaminant levels above applicable action levels. Remediation activities by
the municipality, under the supervision of the EPA and the New York State DEC
are ongoing but have not yet been completed. The DEC has indicated that it
does not intend to pursue as potentially responsible parties nearby landowners
whose property becomes contaminated as a result of off-site migration from the
former landfill.     
 
COMPETITION
 
  The hotel industry is highly competitive. Each of the Hotels is located in a
developed area that includes other hotel properties. The number of competitive
hotel properties in a particular area could have a material adverse effect on
occupancy and ADR of the Hotels or at hotel properties acquired in the future.
 
 
                                      70
<PAGE>
 
  The Company may be competing for investment opportunities with entities that
have substantially greater financial resources than the Company. These
entities may generally be able to accept more risk than the Company can
prudently manage, including risks with respect to the creditworthiness of a
hotel operator or the geographic proximity of its investments. Competition may
generally reduce the number of suitable investment opportunities offered to
the Company and increase the bargaining power of property owners seeking to
sell. Further, the Company believes competition from entities organized for
purposes substantially similar to the Company's objectives could increase
significantly if the Company is successful. Affiliates of the Lessees may
acquire, manage or develop hotels that compete with the Company's Hotels.
 
INSURANCE
 
  The Company carries comprehensive liability, fire, extended coverage and
business interruption insurance with respect to the Hotels, with policy
specifications, insured limits and deductibles customarily carried for similar
properties. The Company will carry similar insurance with respect to any other
properties developed or acquired in the future. There are, however, certain
types of losses (such as losses arising from wars, certain losses arising from
hurricanes and losses arising from other acts of nature) that are not
generally insured because they are either uninsurable or not economically
insurable. Should an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits
occur, the Company could lose its capital invested in the affected property,
as well as the anticipated future revenues from such property and would
continue to be obligated on any mortgage indebtedness or other obligations
related to the property. Any such loss could adversely affect the business of
the Company. Management of the Company believes the Hotels are adequately
insured in accordance with industry standards.
 
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
  Neither the Company nor the Operating Partnership is currently involved in
any material litigation nor, to the Company's knowledge, is any material
litigation currently threatened against the Company or the Operating
Partnership. The Lessees and the Operators have advised the Company that they
currently are not involved in any material litigation, other than routine
litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, substantially all of
which is expected to be covered by liability insurance.

FORMATION TRANSACTIONS
 
  Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Offering, the Company
consummated the Formation Transactions, which included the following:
 
  . Mr. Nussbaum and certain of his affiliates, together with John H.
    Daniels, William L. Mack and Saundra Mann, each of whom are principals of
    Patriot American, and Karim Alibhai, a principal of Gencom, established
    the Company and the Operating Partnership and were issued an aggregate of
    340,836 OP Units in connection with the capitalization thereof.
 
  . The Company sold 14,605,000 shares of Common Stock in the Initial
    Offering and contributed substantially all of the net proceeds thereof to
    the Operating Partnership. Upon completion of the Initial Offering and

VALUATION OF INTERESTS
   
  The initial valuation of the Company was determined primarily based upon a
capitalization of the Company's estimated Cash Available for Distribution and
other factors, rather than on the basis of each property's cost or appraised
value.     
   
  The purchase prices for the interests acquired by the Company from parties
unaffiliated with the Primary Contributors and from certain affiliates of the
Primary Contributors were determined pursuant to arms length negotiations. The
allocation of consideration among the Primary Contributors was determined
through negotiation and through the Company's determination of the percentage
of estimated adjusted cash flow that was required to pay the Company's
shareholders a specified initial annual distribution rate, which rate was
based upon prevailing market conditions. The allocation of consideration among
the Primary Contributors, in certain instances, also was affected by
performance-oriented structures contained in the applicable contributing
partnership agreements and reallocations of benefits to be derived among
certain of the contributing partners unrelated to capitalization rates or
market values of the Initial Hotels.     
 
TRANSFER OF INITIAL HOTELS
 
  The Company's interest in the Initial Hotels was acquired pursuant to
various agreements. These acquisitions were subject to all of the terms and
conditions of such agreements. The Company assumed all obligations relating to
the Initial Hotels that may arise after the transfer.
 
  The agreements effecting the transfer of the assets or direct or indirect
interests of the partners and other holders of equity in the entities selling
the Initial Hotels contained representations and warranties from each such
person concerning title to the interests being transferred and the absence of
liens or other encumbrances thereon.
 
                                      75
<PAGE>
 
Mr. Nussbaum, Mr. Alibhai, certain executives of CHC (including Messrs.
Sherwood Weiser and Donald Lefton) and CHC (collectively, the "Indemnitors")
made additional representations with respect to the Company, CHC Lease
Partners and the Initial Hotels in which such Indemnitors hold ownership
interests concerning the operation of such Initial Hotels, environmental
matters and other representations and warranties customarily found in similar
documents and also agreed to indemnify the Company against breaches of such
representations and warranties. These representations and warranties survive
until October 2, 1996. These indemnification obligations are set forth in an
agreement between the Company and the Indemnitors. The Indemnitors (together
with certain principals of Patriot American) pledged (on a sole recourse
basis) approximately 600,000 OP Units (the "Collateral") to secure their
respective indemnification obligations. So long as the indemnified parties
have a valid security interest in the Collateral, their recourse is limited
solely to such Collateral. This agreement also provides that no claims will be
made against any Indemnitor for a breach of the agreement or for certain
litigation claims unless and until the aggregate value of all such claims
exceeds $1.0 million or $150,000, respectively.

COMPENSATION DEVELOPMENTS     
   
  In April 1996, the Board of Directors granted stock options to purchase
approximately 180,000 shares of Common Stock to the executive officers, other
employees and key persons of the Company pursuant to the Company's 1995 Plan.
The options generally have an exercise price of $26.875 (the market price of
the Company's Common Stock on the date of grant) and become exercisable in
seven equal installments beginning in April 1997. The Compensation Committee
has retained Deloitte & Touche LLP as a compensation consultant and is
reviewing the compensation structure of the Company. Following consultation
with its consultant, the Compensation Committee is considering grants of
restricted stock pursuant to the Company's 1995 Plan to the Directors,
executive officers, other employees and key persons of the Company. Under the
Company's 1995 Plan, the Compensation Committee has the authority to grant up
to approximately 307,000 stock options and shares of restricted stock. Any
decisions to grant additional stock options or shares of restricted stock will
be made by the independent members of the Company's Board of Directors.     
       
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
 
  The Company has entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Nussbaum,
pursuant to which Mr. Nussbaum serves as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
of the Company for a term of three years at an initial annual base
compensation of $180,000, subject to any increases in base compensation
approved by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee has
increased Mr. Nussbaum's salary to $315,000 effective July 1, 1996. Upon
termination of Mr. Nussbaum's employment other than for cause, Mr. Nussbaum
will be entitled to receive severance benefits in an amount to be determined
by the Compensation Committee. In addition, the Company has entered into
employment agreements with Messrs. Lattin, Stewart, and Ng, pursuant to which
Mr. Lattin serves as President and Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Stewart serves
as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, and Mr. Ng serves as
Senior Vice President--Acquisitions, each for a term of three years, at an
annual base compensation of $175,000, $170,000, and $140,000 respectively,
subject to any increases in base compensation approved by the Compensation
Committee. The Compensation Committee has increased Mr. Lattin's salary to
$236,000 effective July 1, 1996. Upon termination other than for cause, each
of such officers will be entitled to receive severance benefits in an amount
to be determined by the Compensation Committee. Neither Mr. Murphy nor Mr.
Huntzicker has entered into an employment agreement with the Company.
 
COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
 
  Any director who is not an employee of the Company is paid an annual
retainer fee of $12,500. In addition, each such director is paid $1,250 for
attendance at each meeting of the Company's Board of Directors and $750 for
attendance at each meeting of a committee of the Company's Board of which such
director is a member. The annual retainer fee is paid to such directors one-
half in cash and one-half in shares of Common Stock. Meeting fees are paid in
cash. Directors who are employees of the Company do not receive any fees for
their service on the Board of Directors or a committee thereof. In addition,
the Company reimburses directors for their out-of-pocket expenses incurred in
connection with their service on the Board of Directors.
 
  On October 2, 1995, each non-employee director was granted 260 shares of
Common Stock and non-qualified options to purchase 7,500 shares of Common
Stock at an exercise price of $24.00 per share (the Initial
 
                                      81
<PAGE>
 
   
Offering price). On May 23, 1996, each non-employee director was granted 220
shares of Common Stock and non-qualified options to purchase 2,500 shares of
Common Stock at an exercise price of $28.38 per share. In addition, on the
date of the annual meeting of the Company's shareholders, beginning with the
annual meeting to be held in 1996, each such non-employee director then in
office will receive a grant of nonqualified options to purchase an additional
2,500 shares of Common Stock at the then current market price, up to an
aggregate number of shares subject to such options of 17,500 per non-employee
director. All options granted to non-employee directors will vest immediately
upon the date of grant. Any non-employee director who ceases to be a director
will forfeit the right to receive any options not previously granted. See "--
Stock Incentive Plans--The Directors' Plan."     
 
STOCK INCENTIVE PLANS
 
  The Board of Directors has adopted, and the Company's shareholders have
approved, the 1995 Plan and the Patriot American Hospitality, Inc. Non-
Employee Directors' Incentive Plan (the "Directors' Plan") for the purposes of
(i) attracting and retaining employees, directors and other service providers
with ability and initiative, (ii) providing incentives to those deemed
important to the success of the Company, and (iii) associating the interests
of these individuals with the interests of the Company and its shareholders
through opportunities for increased stock ownership.
 
 The 1995 Plan
 
  Administration. The 1995 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee.
The Compensation Committee may delegate its authority to administer the 1995
Plan. The Compensation Committee may not, however, delegate its authority with
respect to grants and awards to individuals subject to Section 16 of the
Exchange Act. As used in this summary, the term "Administrator" means the
Compensation Committee or its delegate, as appropriate.
 
  Eligibility. Each employee of the Company, or an affiliate, or any other
person whose efforts contribute to the Company's performance, including an
employee who is a member of the Board, is eligible to participate in the 1995
Plan. The Administrator selects the individuals who will participate in the
1995 Plan ("Participants") but no person may participate in the 1995 Plan
while he is a member of the Compensation Committee. The Administrator may,
from time to time, grant stock options, stock awards, incentive awards or
performance shares to Participants.
 
  Options. Options granted under the 1995 Plan may be incentive stock options
("ISOs") or nonqualified stock options. An option entitles a Participant to
purchase shares of Common Stock from the Company at the option price. The
option price may be paid in cash, with shares of Common Stock, or with a
combination of cash and Common Stock. The option price is fixed by the
Administrator at the time the option is granted, but the price cannot be less
than 100% for existing employees (85% in connection with the hiring of new
employees) of the shares' fair market value on the date of grant. The exercise
price of an ISO granted to any Participant who is a Ten Percent Shareholder
(as defined below) may not be less than 110% of the fair market value of the
Common Shares on the date of grant. A Participant is a Ten Percent Shareholder
if he owns, or is deemed to own, more than ten percent of the total combined
voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or a related entity. A
Participant is deemed to own any voting stock owned (directly or indirectly)
by the Participant's spouse, brothers, sisters, ancestors and lineal
descendants. A Participant and such persons are also considered to own
proportionately any voting stock owned (directly or indirectly) by or for a
corporation, partnership, estate or trust of which the Participant or any such
person is a shareholder, partner or beneficiary. Options may be exercised at
such times and subject to such conditions as may be prescribed by the
Administrator but the maximum term of an option is ten years in the case of an
ISO or five years in the case of an ISO granted to a Ten Percent Shareholder.
 
  No employee may be granted ISOs (under the 1995 Plan or any other plan of
the Company) that are first exercisable in a calendar year for Common Stock
having an aggregate fair market value (determined as of the date the option is
granted) exceeding $100,000. In addition, no Participant may be granted
options in any calendar year for more than 250,000 shares of Common Stock.
 
                                      82
<PAGE>
 
  Stock Awards. Participants also may be awarded shares of Common Stock
pursuant to a stock award. A Participant's rights in a stock award shall be
nontransferable or forfeitable or both unless certain conditions prescribed by
the Administrator are satisfied. These conditions may include, for example, a
requirement that the Participant continue employment with the Company for a
specified period or that the Company or the Participant achieve stated,
performance-related objectives. The objectives may be stated with reference to
the fair market value of the Common Stock or the Company's, a subsidiary's or
an operating unit's return on equity, earnings per share, total earnings,
earnings growth, return on capital or return on assets. A stock award that is
not immediately vested and nonforfeitable will be restricted for a period of
at least three years; provided however, that the period shall be at least one
year in the case of a stock award that is subject to objectives based on one
or more of the foregoing performance criteria. No Participant may be granted
stock awards in any calendar year for more than 50,000 shares of Common Stock.
 
  Incentive Awards. Incentive awards also may be granted under the 1995 Plan.
An incentive award is an opportunity to earn a bonus, payable in cash, upon
attainment of stated performance objectives. The objectives may be stated with
reference to the fair market value of the Common Stock or on the Company's, a
subsidiary's or an operating unit's return on equity, earnings per share,
total earnings, earnings growth, return on capital or return on assets. The
period in which performance will be measured will be at least one year. No
Participant may receive an incentive award payment in any calendar year that
exceeds the lesser of (i) 100% percent of the Participant's base salary (prior
to any salary reduction or deferral election) as of the date of grant of the
incentive award or (ii) $250,000.
 
  Performance Share Awards. The 1995 Plan also provides for the award of
performance shares. A performance share award entitles the Participant to
receive a payment equal to the fair market value of a specified number of
shares of Common Stock if certain standards are met. The Administrator will
prescribe the requirements that must be satisfied before a performance share
award is earned. These conditions may include, for example, a requirement that
the Participant continue employment with the Company for a specified period or
that the Company or the Participant achieve stated, performance-related
objectives. The objectives may be stated with reference to the fair market
value of the Common Stock or on the Company's, a subsidiary's or an operating
unit's return on equity, earnings per share, total earnings, earnings growth,
return on capital or return on assets. To the extent that performance shares
are earned, the obligation may be settled in cash, in Common Stock, or by a
combination of the two. No Participant may be granted performance shares for
more than 50,000 shares of Common Stock in any calendar year.
 
  Share Authorization. All awards made under the 1995 Plan are evidenced by
written agreements between the Company and the Participant. A maximum of
1,000,000 shares of Common Stock may be issued under the 1995 Plan. The share
limitation and the terms of outstanding awards shall be adjusted, as the
Compensation Committee deems appropriate, in the event of a stock dividend,
stock split, combination, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar
event.
 
  Termination and Amendment. No option or stock award may be granted and no
performance shares may be awarded under the 1995 Plan after October 25, 2005.
The Board may amend or terminate the 1995 Plan at any time, but, except as set
forth in the immediately preceding paragraph, an amendment will not become
effective without shareholder approval if the amendment increases the number
of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the 1995 Plan (other than
an adjustment as described above), changes the eligibility requirements or
increases the benefits that may be provided under the 1995 Plan.
 
  Federal Income Taxes. No income is recognized by a Participant at the time
an option is granted. If the option is an ISO, no income will be recognized
upon the Participant's exercise of the option. Income is recognized by a
Participant when he disposes of shares acquired under an ISO. The exercise of
a nonqualified share option generally is a taxable event that requires the
Participant to recognize, as ordinary income, the difference between the
shares' fair market value and the option price.
 
 
                                      83
<PAGE>
 
  A Participant will recognize income on account of a stock award on the first
day that the shares are either transferable or not subject to a substantial
risk of forfeiture. The amount of income recognized by the Participant is
equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock received on that date.
 
  No income is recognized upon the grant of an incentive award. Income equal
to the amount of the bonus payment will be recognized on the date that payment
is made under the incentive award.
 
  A Participant will recognize income on account of the settlement of a
performance share award. A Participant will recognize income equal to any cash
that is paid and the fair market value of Common Stock (on the date that the
shares are first transferable or not subject to a substantial risk of
forfeiture) that is received in settlement of the award.
 
  The employer (either the Company or its affiliate) will be entitled to claim
a federal income tax deduction on account of the exercise of a nonqualified
option, the vesting of a restricted share award, payment under an incentive
award and the settlement of a performance share award. The amount of the
deduction is equal to the ordinary income recognized by the Participant. The
employer will not be entitled to a federal income tax deduction on account of
the grant or the exercise of an ISO. The employer may claim a federal income
tax deduction on account of certain dispositions of Common Stock acquired upon
the exercise of an ISO.
 
 The Directors' Plan
 
  Eligibility. The Directors' Plan provides for the grant of options to
purchase Common Stock and the award of shares of Common Stock to each eligible
director of the Company. No director who is an employee of the Company is
eligible to participate in the Directors' Plan.
 
  Options. Pursuant to the Directors' Plan, in October 1995 each eligible
director who was a member of the Board of Directors as of September 27, 1995,
was awarded nonqualified options to purchase 7,500 shares of Common Stock
(each such director, a "Founding Director"). The options granted to Founding
Directors related to the Initial Offering have an exercise price equal to the
initial public offering price of $24.00 and vested immediately. Each eligible
director who was not a Founding Director (a "Non-Founding Director") will
receive nonqualified options to purchase 7,500 shares of Common Stock upon
election to the Board of Directors. On the date of each annual meeting of the
Company's shareholders, beginning with the shareholders' meeting in 1996, each
non-employee director then in office will receive an additional grant of
nonqualified options to purchase 2,500 shares of Common Stock, with the
maximum aggregate number of shares subject to options to be granted to each
non-employee director being 17,500. The exercise price of options under future
grants will be 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date
of grant. The exercise price may be paid in cash, cash equivalents acceptable
to the Compensation Committee, Common Stock or a combination thereof. Options
granted under the Directors' Plan are exercisable for ten years from the date
of grant.
   
  Share Awards. The Directors' Plan also provides for the annual award of
shares of Common Stock to each eligible director. The number of shares so
awarded will have a fair market value equal to $6,250 (i.e., one-half of the
initial annual retainer fee otherwise payable to the director). Pursuant to
the Directors' Plan, in October 1995 and May 1996, each Founding Director was
awarded 260 and 220 shares of Common Stock, respectively. See "Compensation of
Directors." Such shares vest immediately upon grant and are nonforfeitable.
    
  Amendment and Termination. The Directors' Plan provides that the Board may
amend or terminate the Directors' Plan, but the Plan may not be amended more
than once every six months other than to comport with changes in the Code, the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, or the rules thereunder. An
amendment will not become effective without shareholder approval if the
amendment changes the eligibility requirements or increases the benefits that

                         THE LESSEES AND THE OPERATORS
   
  The Company leases each of the Hotels, except the Crowne Plaza Ravinia, to
the Lessees. The current Lessees are CHC Lease Partners, an entity owned by
CHC and a principal of Gencom, Metro Lease Partners, an affiliate of Metro
Hotels, NorthCoast, an entity owned by a consortium of investors including
principals of WestCoast Hotels and Sunmakers and the Doubletree Lessee, a
subsidiary of Doubletree Hotels. Upon the acquisition of the Wyndham
Portfolio, the Company also intends to lease hotels to the Wyndham Lessee, an
entity to be formed by members of the Trammell Crow family.     
 
  CHC Lease Partners. CHC Lease Partners leases the Initial Hotels, the
Tremont House Hotel, the Holiday Inn Lenox and the Del Mar Hilton from the
Company pursuant to separate Participating Leases that require CHC Lease
Partners to maintain a Minimum Net Worth, as defined, equal to the greater of
(i) $10 million or (ii) 17.5% of the initial projected annual lease payments
for all hotels leased by the Company to CHC Lease Partners. CHC Lease Partners
is owned by CHC and a principal of Gencom. CHC was formed in 1994 to succeed
to the hotel and land-based casino businesses of the Continental Companies and
Carnival Corporation. As of March 31, 1996, CHC had under management 36 hotels
with approximately 9,400 rooms located primarily in the United States, as well
as in South America, the Caribbean, Mexico and the Bahamas. Gencom's hotel
management affiliate, GAH, has been among the fastest growing hotel management
companies in the United States in recent years, having increased its number of
guest rooms under management from approximately 1,600 at December 31, 1992 to
approximately 8,600 at March 31, 1996. Specializing in full service
properties, GAH manages 35 hotels throughout the United States. Although CHC
owns 50% of GAH, CHC's hotels and rooms under management presented above
exclude hotels managed by GAH.
 
  CHC Lease Partners has contracted with hotel management subsidiaries of CHC
and GAH to manage the Tremont House Hotel, the Holiday Inn Lenox, the Del Mar
Hilton and 19 of the 20 Initial Hotels. In addition, CHC Lease Partners has
contracted with Metro Hotels to manage the Holiday Inn Select North Dallas.
 
  Metro Lease Partners. The Company leases the Embassy Suites, Hunt Valley to
Metro Lease Partners under a Participating Lease which requires Metro Lease
Partners to maintain a minimum net worth of $515,000, which represents
approximately 25% of estimated Participating Rent for this Hotel in 1996.
Metro Lease Partners has contracted with its affiliate Metro Hotels to manage
the Embassy Suites, Hunt Valley. Metro Lease Partners and Metro Hotels are
Dallas-based hotel companies owned by Walker Harman. As of April 30, 1996,
Metro Hotels had 12 hotels under management with approximately 2,400 rooms
located throughout the United States.
 
  NorthCoast. The Company leases each of the six Hotels in the WestCoast
Portfolio and the Hyatt Regency, Lexington to NorthCoast under separate
Participating Leases which require NorthCoast to maintain a minimum net worth
equal to the greater of approximately $2.9 million or 20% of the current
year's budgeted lease payments. NorthCoast is a Seattle-based company owned by
a consortium of investors including principals of WestCoast Hotels and
Sunmakers. As of April 30, 1996, WestCoast Hotels had 20 hotels under
management with approximately 4,100 rooms located primarily on the Pacific
Coast.
   
  Doubletree Lessee. The Company leases the Doubletree Denver/Boulder to the
Doubletree Lessee under a Participating Lease that requires the Doubletree
Lessee to maintain a minimum net worth equal to the greater of $400,000 or 20%
of the current year's budgeted lease payments. The Doubletree Lessee is a
subsidiary of Doubletree Hotels, a subsidiary of Doubletree Corporation. The
Doubletree Lessee has contracted with DTM Management, Inc., a subsidiary of
Doubletree Hotels, to manage the Doubletree Denver/Boulder. As of December 31,
1995, Doubletree Corporation managed or franchised 116 hotels with an
aggregate of 30,615 rooms in 32 states, the District of Columbia and Mexico.
       
  Wyndham Lessee.  Upon completion of the acquisition of the Wyndham
Portfolio, the Company intends to lease the Wyndham Portfolio to the Wyndham
Lessee, an entity to be formed by members of the Trammell Crow family, under
Participating Leases that will require the Wyndham Lessee to maintain a
minimum net worth equal to the greater of $3 million or 20% of the current
year's budgeted lease payments for the hotels in the Wyndham Portfolio (such
percentage being subject to adjustment if the parties enter into leases for
additional hotels). The Wyndham Lessee will contract with Wyndham to manage
each of the hotels in the Wyndham Portfolio. At June 25, 1996, Wyndham's
portfolio consisted of 65 hotels operated by Wyndham, 3 franchised     
 
                                      86
<PAGE>
 
   
hotels and 3 hotels under renovation or construction for a total of 18,484
rooms located in 22 states, the District of Columbia, and the Caribbean.     
   
  Holiday Inns, Inc. The Crowne Plaza Ravinia is managed for PAH Ravinia by
Holiday Inns, Inc.     
 
  While each Lessee's ability to make lease payments under the applicable
Participating Lease is dependent primarily upon its ability to generate
sufficient cash flow from the operation of the Hotels that it leases the
minimum net worth requirements are designed to provide a source of funds to
make such payments and to fund operational shortfalls if operating cash flow
is inadequate. The Participating Leases have been negotiated on an arms length
basis. The Participating Leases with CHC Lease Partners contain cross default
provisions. The Participating Leases with NorthCoast (except the Hyatt
Regency, Lexington) also contain cross-default provisions. Accordingly, either
Lessee's failure to make required lease payments under any of the
Participating Leases which are cross-defaulted will allow the Company to
terminate any or all of the Participating Leases to which such Lessee is a
party. The Company intends to utilize similar cross default provisions when
leasing multiple properties to a single Lessee in the future. The
Participating Leases have an average term of approximately eleven years, with
expiration dates staggered between the years 2005 and 2008, subject to earlier
termination upon the occurrence of certain events.

                         DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
 
  Under its Articles of Incorporation, the Company has the authority to issue
200,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock,
no par value (the "Preferred Shares"). No Preferred Shares are outstanding or
will be outstanding immediately after consummation of the Offering.
 
COMMON STOCK
 
  The holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on
all matters voted on by shareholders, including elections of directors. Except
as otherwise required by law or provided in any resolution adopted by the
Board of Directors with respect to any series of Preferred Shares, the holders
of such shares exclusively possess all voting power. The Articles of
Incorporation do not provide for cumulative voting in the election of
directors. Subject to any preferential rights of any outstanding series of
Preferred Shares, the holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to such
dividends as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors from
funds available therefor, and upon liquidation will be entitled to receive pro
rata all assets of the Company available for distribution to such holders. All
shares of Common Stock issued in the Offering will be fully paid and
nonassessable, and the holders thereof will not have preemptive rights.
 
PREFERRED SHARES
 
  The Board of Directors is authorized to provide for the issuance of shares
of Preferred Shares in one or more series, to establish the number of shares
in each series and to fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of
each such series and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof.
Because the Board of Directors has the power to establish the preferences and
rights of each class or series of Preferred Shares, the Board of Directors may
afford the holders of any series or class of Preferred Shares preferences,
powers and rights, voting or otherwise, senior to the rights of holders of
shares of Common Stock. The issuance of Preferred Shares could have the effect
of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company.
 
ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAW PROVISIONS
 
 Restrictions on Transfer
 
  For the Company to qualify as a REIT under the Code, it must meet certain
requirements concerning the ownership of its outstanding shares of capital
stock. Specifically, not more than 50% in value of the Company's outstanding
shares of capital stock may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer
individuals (as defined in the Code to include certain entities) during the
last half of a taxable year, and the Company must be beneficially owned by 100
or more persons during at least 335 days of a taxable year of twelve months or
during a proportionate part of a shorter taxable year. See "Federal Income Tax
Considerations--Requirements for Qualification." In addition, the Company must
meet certain requirements regarding the nature of its gross income in order to
qualify as a REIT. One such requirement is that at least 75% of the Company's
gross income for each year must consist of rents from real property and income
from certain other real property investments. The rents received by the
Operating Partnership and the Subsidiary Partnerships from the Lessees will
not qualify as rents from real property, which could result in loss of REIT
status for the Company, if the Company owns, actually or constructively, 10%
or more of the ownership interests in any Lessee, within the meaning of
section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code. See "Federal Income Tax Considerations--
Requirements for Qualification--Income Tests."
 
  Because the Board of Directors believes it is essential for the Company to
continue to qualify as a REIT, the Articles of Incorporation, subject to
certain exceptions described below, provides pursuant to the Ownership
Limitation that no person may own, or be deemed to own by virtue of the
attribution provisions of the Code, more than 9.8% of either (i) the
outstanding shares of any class of Common Stock or (ii) the outstanding
Preferred Shares of any class or series of Preferred Shares (subject to the
Look-Through Ownership Limitation applicable to certain shareholders, as
described below). Any transfer of Common Stock or Preferred Shares that
 
                                      90
<PAGE>
 
would (i) result in any person owning, directly or indirectly, Common Stock or
Preferred Shares in excess of the Ownership Limitation, (ii) result in Common
Stock and Preferred Shares being owned by fewer than 100 persons (determined
without reference to any rules of attribution), (iii) result in the Company
being "closely held" within the meaning of section 856(h) of the Code, or (iv)
cause the Company to own, actually or constructively, 10% or more of the
ownership interests in a tenant of the Company's, the Operating Partnership's
or a Subsidiary Partnership's real property, within the meaning of section
856(d)(2)(B) of the Code, will be null and void, and the intended transferee
will acquire no rights in such shares of Common Stock or Preferred Shares.
 
  Certain types of entities, such as pension trusts qualifying under section
401(a) of the Code, mutual funds qualifying as regulated investment companies
under section 851 of the Code, and corporations, will be looked through for
purposes of the "closely held" test in section 856(h) of the Code. The
Articles of Incorporation allow such an entity under the Look-Through
Ownership Limitation to own up to 15% of the shares of any class or series of
the Company's capital stock, provided that such ownership does not cause any
beneficial owner of such entity to exceed the Ownership Limitation or
otherwise result in a violation of the tests described in clauses (ii), (iii)
and (iv) of the preceding paragraph.
 
  Subject to certain exceptions described below, any purported transfer of
Common Stock or Preferred Shares that would (i) result in any person owning,
directly or indirectly, shares of Common Stock or Preferred Shares in excess
of the Ownership Limitation (or the Look-Through Ownership Limitation, if
applicable), (ii) result in the shares of Common Stock and Preferred Shares
being owned by fewer than 100 persons (determined without reference to any
rules of attribution), (iii) result in the Company being "closely held" within
the meaning of section 856(h) of the Code, or (iv) cause the Company to own,
actually or constructively, 10% or more of the ownership interests in a tenant
of the Company's, the Operating Partnership's or a Subsidiary Partnership's
real property, within the meaning of section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code, will be
designated as "Shares-in-Trust" and will be transferred automatically to a
trust (a "Trust"), effective on the day before the purported transfer of such
shares of Common Stock or Preferred Shares. The record holder of the Common
Stock or Preferred Shares that are designated as Shares-in-Trust (the
"Prohibited Owner") will be required to submit such number of shares of Common
Stock or Preferred Shares to the Company for registration in the name of the
trustee of the Trust (the "Trustee"). The Trustee will be designated by the
Company, but will not be affiliated with the Company. The beneficiary of the
Trust (the "Beneficiary") will be one or more charitable organizations named
by the Company.
 
  Shares-in-Trust will remain issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock or
Preferred Shares and will be entitled to the same rights and privileges as all
other shares of the same class or series. The Trustee will receive all
dividends and distributions on the Shares-in-Trust and will hold such
dividends or distributions in trust for the benefit of the Beneficiary. The
Trustee will vote all Shares-in-Trust. The Trustee will designate a permitted
transferee of the Shares-in-Trust, provided that the permitted transferee (i)
purchases such Shares-in-Trust for valuable consideration and (ii) acquires
such Shares-in-Trust without such acquisition resulting in another transfer to
another Trust.
 
  The Prohibited Owner with respect to Shares-in-Trust will be required to
repay to the Trustee the amount of any dividends or distributions received by
the Prohibited Owner (i) that are attributable to any Shares-in-Trust and (ii)
the record date of which was on or after the date that such shares became
Shares-in-Trust. Any vote taken by a Prohibited Owner prior to the Company's
discovery that the Shares-in-Trust were held in trust will be rescinded as
void ab initio. The Prohibited Owner generally will receive from the Trustee
the lesser of (i) the price per share such Prohibited Owner paid for the
shares of Common Stock or Preferred Shares that were designated as Shares-in-
Trust (or, in the case of a gift or devise, the Market Price (as defined
below) per share on the date of such transfer) or (ii) the price per share
received by the Trustee from the sale of such Shares-in-Trust. Any amounts
received by the Trustee in excess of the amounts to be paid to the Prohibited
Owner will be distributed to the Beneficiary.
 
  The Shares-in-Trust will be deemed to have been offered for sale to the
Company, or its designee, at a price per share equal to the lesser of (i) the
price per share in the transaction that created such Shares-in-Trust (or, in
 
                                      91
<PAGE>
 
the case of a gift or devise, the Market Price per share on the date of such
transfer) or (ii) the Market Price per share on the date that the Company, or
its designee, accepts such offer. The Company will have the right to accept
such offer for a period of ninety days after the later of (i) the date of the
purported transfer which resulted in such Shares-in-Trust or (ii) the date the
Company determines in good faith that a transfer resulting in such Shares-in-
Trust occurred.
 
  "Market Price" on any date shall mean the average of the Closing Price for
the five consecutive Trading Days ending on such date. The "Closing Price" on
any date shall mean the last sale price, regular way, or, in case no such sale
takes place on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices,
regular way, in either case as reported in the principal consolidated
transaction reporting system with respect to securities listed or admitted to
trading on the NYSE or, if the shares of Common Stock or Preferred Shares are
not listed or admitted to trading on the NYSE, as reported in the principal
consolidated transaction reporting system with respect to securities listed on
the principal national securities exchange on which the shares of Common Stock
or Preferred Shares are listed or admitted to trading or, if the shares of
Common Stock or Preferred Shares are not listed or admitted to trading on any
national securities exchange, the last quoted price, or if not so quoted, the
average of the high bid and low asked prices in the over-the-counter market,
as reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Automated
Quotation System or, if such system is no longer in use, the principal other
automated quotations system that may then be in use or, if the shares of
Common Stock or Preferred Shares are not quoted by any such organization, the
average of the closing bid and asked prices as furnished by a professional
market maker making a market in the shares of Common Stock or Preferred Shares
selected by the Board of Directors. "Trading Day" shall mean a day on which
the principal national securities exchange on which the shares of Common Stock
or Preferred Shares are listed or admitted to trading is open for the
transaction of business or, if the shares of Common Stock or Preferred Shares
are not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange,
shall mean any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which banking
institutions in the State of New York are authorized or obligated by law or
executive order to close.
 
  Any person who acquires or attempts to acquire Common Stock or Preferred
Shares in violation of the foregoing restrictions, or any person who owned
shares of Common Stock or Preferred Shares that were transferred to a Trust,
will be required (i) to give immediately written notice to the Company of such
event and (ii) to provide to the Company such other information as the Company
may request in order to determine the effect, if any, of such transfer on the
Company's status as a REIT.
 
  All persons who own, directly or indirectly, more than 5% (or such lower
percentages as required pursuant to regulations under the Code) of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock and Preferred Shares must, within 30 days
after January 1 of each year, provide to the Company a written statement or
affidavit stating (i) the name and address of such direct or indirect owner,
(ii) the number of shares of Common Stock and Preferred Shares owned directly
or indirectly, and (iii) a description of how such shares are held. In
addition, each direct or indirect shareholder shall provide to the Company
such additional information as the Company may request in order to determine
the effect, if any, of such ownership on the Company's status as a REIT and to
ensure compliance with the Ownership Limitation.
 
  The Ownership Limitation generally does not apply to the acquisition of
shares of Common Stock or Preferred Shares by an underwriter that participates
in a public offering of such shares. In addition, the Board of Directors, upon
such conditions as the Board of Directors may direct, may exempt a person from
the Ownership Limitation under certain circumstances. The foregoing
restrictions will continue to apply until the Board of Directors determines
that it is no longer in the best interests of the Company to attempt to
qualify, or to continue to qualify, as a REIT.
 
  All certificates representing shares of Common Stock bear a legend referring
to the restrictions described above. All additional certificates representing
shares of Common Stock or Preferred Shares will bear substantially the same
legend.
 
                                      92

  The ownership limitations could have the effect of discouraging a takeover
or other transaction in which holders of some, or a majority, of shares of
Common Stock might receive a premium from their shares of Common Stock over
the then prevailing market price or which such holders might believe to be
otherwise in their best interest.
 
 Number of Directors; Removal; Filling Vacancies
 
  The Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that the number of
directors will consist of not less than three nor more than 15 persons, as
determined by the affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the entire
Board of Directors. At all times a majority of the directors shall be
Independent Directors, except that upon the death, removal or resignation of
an Independent Director, such requirement shall not be applicable for 60 days.
Presently there are seven directors, five of whom are Independent Directors.
The shareholders are entitled to vote on the election or removal of directors,
with each share entitled to one vote. The Bylaws provide that, unless the
Board of Directors otherwise determines, any vacancies will be filled by the
affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors, though less than a
quorum. The Articles of Incorporation provide that directors may be removed
only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 75% of the outstanding
stock of the Company then entitled to vote on the election of the directors at
a special meeting of the shareholders called for such purpose. This provision,
when coupled with the provision of the Bylaws authorizing the Board of
Directors to fill vacant directorships, could temporarily prevent any
shareholder from enlarging the Board of Directors and filling the new
directorships with such shareholder's own nominees. Any directors so elected
shall hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders.
 
 Special Meetings
 
  Although the VSCA does not give shareholders the right to call a special
meeting of shareholders, the Articles of Incorporation provide that such a
meeting may be called by the written request of shareholders holding 25% of
the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
 
 Limitation of Liability
 
  Pursuant to the VSCA, each director of the Company is required to discharge
his duties in accordance with his good faith business judgment of the best
interest of the Company. In addition, Virginia law provides that a transaction
with the Company in which a director or officer of the Company has a direct or
indirect interest is not voidable by the Company solely because of the
director's or officer's interest in the transaction if (i) the material facts
of the transaction and the director's interest are disclosed to or known by
the directors and the transaction is authorized, approved or ratified by the
disinterested directors, (ii) the material facts of the transaction and the
director's interest are disclosed to or known by the shareholders entitled to
vote and the transaction is authorized, approved or ratified by the
shareholders, or (iii) the transaction is established to have been fair to the
Company.
 
  The Articles of Incorporation and the VSCA contain provisions which require
the Company to indemnify an officer or director against liability incurred in
any proceeding to which he is a party because he is an officer or director if
(i) he conducted himself in good faith, (ii) he believed (A) in the case of
conduct in his official capacity with the Company, that his conduct was in its
best interests, or (B) in all other cases, that his conduct was at least not
opposed to its best interests, and (iii) in the case of any criminal
proceeding, he had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was
unlawful.
 
  The Articles of Incorporation of the Company also contain a provision which
eliminates the liability of a director or officer to the Company or its
shareholders for monetary damages for any breach of duty as a director or
officer. This provision does not eliminate such liability to the extent that
the director or officer engaged in willful misconduct or a knowing violation
of criminal law or of any federal or state securities law.
 
  Unless a determination has been made that indemnification is not
permissible, the Articles of Incorporation also permit the Company to make
advances to and reimburse an officer or director for expenses prior to final
 
                                      93
<PAGE>
 
disposition of the proceeding, upon receipt of a written undertaking from the
director or officer to repay the amounts advanced or reimbursed if it is
ultimately determined that he is not entitled to indemnification. The Board of
Directors of the Company also has the authority to extend to any person who is
an employee or agent of the Company, or who is or was serving at the request
of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another entity,
the same indemnification rights possessed by directors and officers, subject
to all of the accompanying conditions and obligations.
 
  The VSCA permits a court, upon application of a director or officer, to
review the Company's determination as to a director's or officer's request for
advances, reimbursement or indemnification. If the court determines that the
director or officer is entitled to such advances, reimbursement or
indemnification, the court may order the Company to make advances and/or
reimbursement for expenses or to provide indemnification.
 
  The Company has purchased and maintains insurance on behalf of all of its
directors and executive officers against liability asserted against or
incurred by them in their official capacities with the Company, whether or not
the Company is required or has the power to indemnify them against the same
liability.
 
 Amendment
 
  The Articles of Incorporation may be amended by the affirmative vote of the
holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, with the
shareholders voting as a class with one vote per share. The Company's Bylaws
may be amended by the Board of Directors or by vote of the holders of a
majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
 
 Operations
 
  The Company is prohibited from acquiring or holding property or engaging in
any activity that would cause the Company to fail to qualify as a REIT.
 
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
 
  The VSCA contains provisions restricting "Affiliated Transactions." These
provisions, with several exceptions discussed below, require approval of
Affiliated Transactions (as defined below) between a Virginia corporation and
an Interested Shareholder by an affirmative vote of (A) a majority of the
Disinterested Directors (as defined below) and (B) holders of at least two-
thirds of the voting shares other than shares beneficially owned by the
Interested Shareholder. An Interested Shareholder is any (i) beneficial owner
of more than 10% of any class of its outstanding voting shares or (ii) an
affiliate or associate of the corporation that at any time within the
preceding three years has been an Interested Shareholder of the corporation.
Affiliated Transactions subject to this approval requirement include, without
limitation, (1) mergers and share exchanges with an Interested Shareholder,
(2) dispositions of material corporate assets to or with an Interested
Shareholder not in the ordinary course of business, (3) any guaranty by the
corporation of a material amount of the indebtedness of any Interested
Shareholder not in the ordinary course of business, (4) dispositions to an
Interested Shareholder of a material amount of voting shares of the
corporation except pursuant to a share dividend or the exercise of rights
distributed on a basis affording substantially proportionate treatment to all
holders of the same class or series of voting shares, (5) a dissolution of the
corporation proposed by or on behalf of an Interested Shareholder, or (6) any
reclassification, including, reverse stock split, recapitalization or merger
of the corporation with its subsidiaries which increases the percentage of
voting shares owned beneficially by an Interested Shareholder by more than 5%.
A Disinterested Director means, with respect to a particular Interested
Shareholder, a member of the corporation's board of directors who was (A) a
member on the date on which an Interested Shareholder became an Interested
Shareholder and (B) recommended for election by, or was elected to fill a
vacancy and received the affirmative vote of, a majority of the Disinterested
Directors then on the Board. The statute requires that an Affiliated
Transaction with an Interested Shareholder occurring three years or more after
the Interested Shareholder becomes an Interested Shareholder must be approved
by the affirmative vote of (1) the holders of two-thirds of the voting shares
other than those beneficially owned by the Interested Shareholder or (2) a
majority of the Disinterested Directors.
 
                                      94
<PAGE>
 
  The special voting requirements do not apply to Affiliated Transactions
proposed after the three year period has expired if the transaction satisfies
the fair-price requirements of the statute. In general, the fair-price
requirement provides that in a two-step acquisition transaction, the
Interested Shareholder must pay the shareholders in the second step either the
same amount of cash or the same amount and type of consideration paid to
acquire the Virginia corporation's shares in the first step.
 
  None of the foregoing limitations and special voting requirements applies to
a transaction with an Interested Shareholder (i) whose acquisition of shares
making such person an Interested Shareholder was approved by a majority of the
Virginia corporation's Disinterested Directors, (ii) who was an Interested
Shareholder on the date the Company became subject to these provisions by
virtue of its having 300 shareholders of record, (iii) who became an
interested Shareholder as a result of acquiring shares by gift, testamentary
bequest or the laws of descent and distribution or (iv) generally, who became
an Interested Shareholder inadvertently.
 
  These provisions may have the effect of deterring certain takeovers of
Virginia corporations. In addition, the statute provides that, by affirmative
vote of a majority of the voting shares other than shares owned by an
Interested Shareholder, a corporation can adopt an amendment to its Articles
of Incorporation or Bylaws providing that the Affiliated Transactions
provisions shall not apply to the corporation.
 
CONTROL SHARE ACQUISITIONS
 
  The VSCA also provides that shares acquired in a transaction that would
cause the acquiring person's voting strength to cross any of three thresholds
(20%, 33% or 50%) have no voting rights unless granted by a majority vote of
shares not owned by the acquiring person or any officer or employee-director
of the Company. An acquiring person may require the Company to hold a special
meeting of shareholders to consider the matter within 50 days of its receipt
of the request by such acquiring person to hold such meeting. The Articles of
Incorporation contain a provision exempting any and all acquisitions of the
Company's shares of capital stock from the foregoing provisions of the VSCA.
There can be no assurance that this provision will not be amended or
eliminated in the future.
 
OTHER MATTERS
 
  The Common Stock is listed on the NYSE, under the symbol "PAH." The transfer
agent and registrar for the Common Stock is American Stock Transfer & Trust

          POLICIES AND OBJECTIVES WITH RESPECT TO CERTAIN ACTIVITIES
 
  The following is a discussion of the Company's policies with respect to
investment, financing, conflict of interest and certain other activities. The
policies with respect to these activities have been determined by the Board of
Directors of the Company and may be amended or revised from time to time at
the discretion of the Board of Directors without a vote of the shareholders of
the Company, except that (i) changes in certain policies with respect to
conflicts of interest must be consistent with legal requirements and (ii)
certain policies with respect to competition are imposed pursuant to contracts
that cannot be amended without the consent of all parties thereto.
 
INVESTMENT POLICIES
 
 Investments in Real Estate or Interests in Real Estate
 
  In addition to the Hotels, the Company intends to acquire equity interests
in hotels and related properties throughout the United States and, on a
limited basis, elsewhere in North America. Additional acquisitions could be
made directly or by the Operating Partnership or other entities controlled by
the Company, if any exist. The Company's investment objective is to maximize
its Cash Available for Distribution and enhance shareholder value by acquiring
additional hotels that meet one or more of the Company's investment criteria,
by participating in increased revenue from the Hotels and any subsequently
acquired hotels through participating leases, and, under appropriate
circumstances, by developing selected additional hotels.
 
  Although the Company presently anticipates that additional investments in
hotel properties will be made through the Operating Partnership, additional
investments may be made directly by the Company or other entities controlled
by the Company, if any exist. Such investments may be financed, in whole or in
part, with excess cash flow, borrowings or subsequent issuances of shares of
Common Stock or other securities issued by the Company or entities controlled
by the Company.
 
 Development of Hotel Properties
 
  Although management of the Company currently believes acquisitions of
existing hotel properties provide the best opportunities for growth, the
Company intends to evaluate from time to time, and may undertake, attractive
opportunities to develop new hotels or expand existing hotels. Management
believes it has the capability and the expertise to develop successful hotel,
resort and conference center properties.
 
 Investments in Other Entities
 
  The Company also may participate with other entities in property ownership,
through joint ventures or other types of co-ownership. Equity investments may
be subject to existing mortgage financing and other indebtedness that may have
priority over the equity interest of the Company.
 
 Investments in Real Estate Mortgages and Securities of Other Issuers
 
  While the Company emphasizes equity real estate investments, it may, in its
discretion, invest in mortgage and other real estate interests, including
securities of REITs and other issuers. The Company currently has no limit on
the amount or percentage of assets represented by one investment or investment
type. The Company does not presently intend to invest in securities of REITs
or other issuers. The Company also does not presently intend to trade or
underwrite securities or to make investments for the purpose of exercising
control over other issuers. The Company may invest in participating or
convertible mortgages if it concludes that by doing so it may benefit from the
cash flow or any appreciation in the value of the subject property. Such
mortgages are similar to equity participations, because they permit the lender
to either participate in increasing revenues from the property or convert some
or all of the mortgage to equity.
 
FINANCING
 
  The Company intends to make additional investments in hotel properties and
may incur indebtedness to make such investments or to meet the distribution
requirements imposed by the REIT provisions of the Code, to the extent that
cash flow from the Company's investments and working capital is insufficient.
 
                                      96
<PAGE>
 
  To ensure that the Company has sufficient liquidity to conduct its
operations, including making investments in additional hotel properties and
funding its anticipated distribution obligations and financing costs, the
Company has access to the Line of Credit. In May 1996, the maximum amount
available under the Line of Credit was increased from $165 million to $250
million and certain modifications were made, thereby increasing the Company's
ability to borrow under the Line of Credit. Borrowings under the Line of
Credit have been utilized to purchase the Recent Acquisitions, and additional
funds may be used to acquire additional properties. The Company may seek to
arrange other borrowings to fund investments in additional hotel properties or
for other purposes. The Line of Credit is secured by first mortgage liens on
23 of the Hotels and a mortgage lien on subsequently acquired properties that
are purchased with borrowings under the Line of Credit. The Company intends to
limit its consolidated indebtedness to an amount no more than 40% of the
Company's total market capitalization.
 
  Borrowings may be incurred through the Operating Partnership or the Company.
Indebtedness incurred by the Company may be in the form of bank borrowings,
secured and unsecured, and publicly and privately placed debt instruments.
Indebtedness incurred by the Operating Partnership may be in the form of
purchase money obligations to the sellers of properties, publicly or privately
placed debt instruments, financing from banks, institutional investors or
other lenders, any of which indebtedness may be unsecured or may be secured by
mortgages or other interests in the property owned by the Operating
Partnership. Such indebtedness may be recourse to all or any part of the
property of the Company or the Operating Partnership, or may be limited to the
particular property to which the indebtedness relates. The proceeds from any
borrowings by the Company or the Operating Partnership may be used for the
payment of distributions or dividends, working capital, to refinance existing
indebtedness or to finance acquisitions, expansions, additions or renovations
of hotel properties. See "Federal Income Tax Considerations--Requirements for
Qualification--Distribution Requirements."
 
  If the Board of Directors determines to raise additional equity capital, the
Board will have the authority, without shareholder approval, to issue
additional shares of Common Stock or Preferred Shares in any manner (and on
such terms and for such consideration) as it deems appropriate, including in
exchange for property. Existing shareholders have no preemptive right to
purchase shares issued in any such offering, and any such offering might cause
a dilution of a shareholder's investment in the Company.
 
  The Company may make investments other than as previously described,
although it does not currently intend to do so.
 
CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICIES
 
  The Company has adopted certain policies and entered into certain agreements
designed to minimize potential conflicts of interest. The Company's Board of
Directors is subject to certain provisions of Virginia law, which are designed
to eliminate or minimize certain potential conflicts of interest. However,
there can be no assurance that these policies always will be successful in
eliminating the influence of such conflicts, and if they are not successful,
decisions could be made that might fail to reflect fully the interests of all
shareholders.
 
 Articles of Incorporation and Bylaw Provisions
 
  The Company's Articles of Incorporation, with limited exceptions, require
that a majority of the Company's Board of Directors be comprised of persons
who are not officers or employees of the Company, affiliates of officers or
employees of the Company or affiliates of any advisor to the Company under an
advisory agreement, any lessee or contract manager of any property of the
Company, any of its subsidiaries, or any partnership which is an affiliate of
the Company (each such person, an "Independent Director"). The Articles of
Incorporation provide that such provisions relating to Independent Directors
may not be amended, altered, changed or repealed without the affirmative vote
of all of the Independent Directors or the affirmative vote of the holders of
not less than 75% of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company
entitled to vote. In addition, the Company's Bylaws provide that any action
pertaining to any transaction (a) involving the Company must be approved by a
majority of the directors and (b) in which the Company is purchasing, selling,
leasing or mortgaging any real
 
                                      97
<PAGE>
 
estate asset, making a joint venture investment or engaging in any other
transaction in which an advisor, director or officer of the Company, any
affiliated lessee or affiliated contract manager of any property of the
Company or any affiliate of the foregoing, has any direct or indirect
interest, must be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the
Independent Directors.
 
 The Operating Partnership
 
  A conflict of interest may arise between the Company, as a general and
limited partner of the Operating Partnership, and the other Limited Partners
of the Operating Partnership, which may include affiliates of Patriot
American, due to the differing potential tax liability to the Company and the
other Limited Partners from the sale of Hotels to the Operating Partnership
resulting from the differing tax bases of the Company and such affiliates in
such properties. In an effort to address this and other potential conflicts of
interest, the Company's Bylaws provide that the Company's decisions with
respect to the sale of a Hotel purchased from an affiliate of Patriot American
must be made by the Independent Directors. The Partnership Agreement gives PAH
GP, as general partner of the Operating Partnership, full, complete and
exclusive discretion in managing and controlling the business of the Operating
Partnership and in making all decisions affecting the business and assets of
the Operating Partnership.
 
 Provisions of Virginia Law
 
  Pursuant to Virginia law, each director is subject to restrictions relating
to misappropriation of corporate opportunities for himself or his affiliates
which such director learned of solely as a result of his service as a member
of the Board of Directors of the Company. In addition, Virginia law provides
that a transaction with the Company in which a director or officer of the
Company has a direct or indirect interest is not voidable by the Company
solely because of the director's or officer's interest in the transaction if
(i) the material facts of the transaction and the director's interest are
disclosed to or known by the directors and the transaction is approved,
authorized or ratified by the disinterested directors, (ii) the material facts
of the transaction and the director's interest are disclosed to or known by
the shareholders entitled to vote and the transaction is authorized, approved
or ratified by the shareholders, or (iii) the transaction is established to
have been fair to the Company.
 
POLICIES WITH RESPECT TO OTHER ACTIVITIES
 
  The Company has authority to offer shares of capital stock or other
securities and to repurchase or otherwise reacquire its shares or any other
securities and may engage in such activities in the future. As described under
"Shares Available for Future Sale," the Company may (but is not obligated to)
issue shares of Common Stock to holders of OP Units upon exercise of the
Redemption Rights (as defined below). The Company has not engaged in trading,
underwriting or agency distribution or sale of securities of other issuers,
nor has the Company invested in the securities of other issuers other than the
Operating Partnership for the purpose of exercising control. The Company has
made loans to third parties, including PAH Ravinia and the Lessees. In the
future the Company may make loans to third parties, including, without
limitation, to joint ventures in which it participates. The Company intends to
make investments in such a way that it will not be treated as an investment
company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
 
  At all times, the Company intends to make investments in such a manner
consistent with the requirements of the Code for the Company to qualify as a
REIT unless, because of changing circumstances or changes in the Code (or in
Treasury Regulations), the Company's Board of Directors determines that it is
no longer in the best interests of the Company to qualify as a REIT.
 
WORKING CAPITAL RESERVES
 
  The Company will maintain working capital reserves in amounts that the Board
of Directors determines to be adequate to meet normal contingencies in
connection with the operation of the Company's business and investments.

                       SHARES AVAILABLE FOR FUTURE SALE
   
  At June 24, 1996, the Company had outstanding (or reserved for issuance upon
redemption or exchange of OP Units or pursuant to the 1995 Plan) 19,963,940
shares of Common Stock. In addition to OP Units issued to the Company, the
Operating Partnership had outstanding an aggregate of 3,485,292 OP Units. The
shares of Common Stock issued in the Initial Offering are freely tradeable by
persons, other than "Affiliates" of the Company, without restriction under the
Securities Act, subject to certain limitations on ownership set forth in the
Articles of Incorporation. See "Description of Capital Stock--Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaw Provisions--Restrictions on Transfer."     
 
  Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, the Limited Partners, other than PAH
LP received rights (the "Redemption Rights") that enable them to cause the
Operating Partnership to redeem each OP Unit (other than the Preferred OP
Units) in exchange for cash equal to the value of a share of Common Stock (or,
at the Company's election, the Company may purchase each OP Unit offered for
redemption for one share of Common Stock). The Redemption Rights may be
exercised (subject to the Lock-up Agreements), at any time after October 2,
1996. See "Partnership Agreement--Redemption Rights." Pursuant to the purchase
agreement for the Preferred OP Units, the holders of the Preferred OP Units
have the right to exchange their Preferred OP Units for shares of Common Stock
after three years from the date of issuance. See "Developments Since the
Initial Offering--Financing Activities."
 
  With respect to the OP Units issued in connection with the Formation
Transactions and in connection with the acquisition of the Holiday Inn Lenox,
the Company only has the right to elect to purchase such OP Units offered for
redemption for shares of Common Stock pursuant to an effective registration
statement with respect to the issuance of such shares. The Company has agreed
to register shares of Common Stock issuable upon the redemption of OP Units or
exchange of Preferred OP Units issued in connection with the acquisition of
the West Coast Portfolio and the Private Placement, respectively. The Company
may agree with future sellers of hotel properties to register shares of Common
Stock issuable upon the redemption of OP Units or the conversion of securities
convertible into shares of Common Stock.
   
  The Company has reserved an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock
for issuance under the 1995 Plan. The Company intends to file a registration
statement on Form S-8 with respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable
under the 1995 Plan and the shares of Common Stock issuable under the
Directors' Plan. Shares of Common Stock issued after the effective date of any
such registration statement on Form S-8 upon the exercise of options granted
under the 1995 Plan will be available for sale in the public market without
restriction to the extent that they are held by persons who are not affiliates
of the Company and, to the extent that they are held by affiliates, pursuant
to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, without observance of the holding period
requirement.     
 
  The Company's Common Stock trades on the NYSE under the Symbol "PAH". No
prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that the Offering, or future
sales of shares, or the availability of shares for future sale, will have on
the market price prevailing from time to time. Sales of substantial amounts of
Common Stock, or the perception that such sales could occur, may affect
adversely prevailing market prices of the Common Stock. See "Risk Factors--
Market for Common Stock" and "Partnership Agreement--Transferability of
Interests."

                             PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT
 
  The following summary of the Partnership Agreement, and the descriptions of
certain provisions thereof set forth elsewhere in this Prospectus, is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the Partnership Agreement, which is
filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is
a part.
 
MANAGEMENT
 
  The Operating Partnership has been organized as a Virginia limited
partnership pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreement. Pursuant to
the Partnership Agreement, PAH GP, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company,
as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership (the "General
Partner"), has full, exclusive and complete responsibility and discretion in
the management and control of the Operating Partnership, and the Limited
Partners in their capacity as such have no authority to transact business for,
or participate in the management activities or decisions of, the Operating
Partnership. However, any amendment to the Partnership Agreement that would
(i) affect the Redemption Rights, (ii) adversely affect the Limited Partners'
rights to receive cash distributions, (iii) alter the Operating Partnership's
allocations of income and loss or (iv) impose on the Limited Partners any
obligations to make additional contributions to the capital of the Operating
Partnership, requires the consent of Limited Partners other than PAH LP
holding more than 50% of the OP Units held by such Limited Partners.
 
TRANSFERABILITY OF INTERESTS
 
  PAH GP and PAH LP may not voluntarily withdraw from the Operating
Partnership or transfer or assign their interests in the Operating Partnership
unless the transaction in which such withdrawal or transfer occurs results in
the Limited Partners' (other than PAH LP) receiving property in an amount
equal to the amount they would have received had they exercised their
Redemption Rights immediately prior to such transaction, or unless the
successors to PAH GP and PAH LP contribute substantially all of their assets
to the Operating Partnership in return for an interest in the Operating
Partnership. A person may not be admitted as a substitute or successor General
Partner unless a majority-in-interest of the Limited Partners (other than PAH
LP) consent in writing to the admission of such substitute or successor
General Partner, which consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of such
Limited Partners. With certain limited exceptions, the Limited Partners may
not transfer their interests in the Operating Partnership, in whole or in
part, without the written consent of the General Partner, which consent may be
withheld in the sole discretion of the General Partner.
 
CAPITAL CONTRIBUTION
 
  The Company, through PAH GP and PAH LP, contributed to the Operating
Partnership substantially all of the net proceeds of the Initial Offering, in
consideration of which PAH GP received a 1.0% general partnership interest and
PAH LP received approximately a 83.6% limited partnership interest in the
Operating Partnership. The Partnership Agreement provides that if the
Operating Partnership requires additional funds at any time or from time to
time in excess of funds available to the Operating Partnership from borrowing
or capital contributions, the Company may borrow such funds from a financial
institution or other lender and lend such funds to the Operating Partnership
on the same terms and conditions as are applicable to the Company's borrowing
of such funds. Under the Partnership Agreement, the Company generally is
obligated to contribute, through PAH GP and PAH LP, the proceeds of a share
offering as additional capital to the Operating Partnership. Moreover, the
Company is authorized, through PAH GP and PAH LP, to cause the Operating
Partnership to issue partnership interests for less than fair market value if
the Company has concluded in good faith that such issuance is in the best
interests of the Company and the Operating Partnership. If the Company so
contributes additional capital to the Operating Partnership, PAH GP and PAH LP
will receive additional OP Units and their percentage interests in the
Operating Partnership will be increased on a proportionate basis based upon
the amount of the additional capital contribution and the value of the
Operating Partnership at the time of such contribution. Conversely, the
percentage interests of the Limited Partners, other than PAH LP, will be
decreased on a proportionate basis upon the contribution of additional capital
by the Company.

<PAGE>
 
REDEMPTION RIGHTS
 
  Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, the Limited Partners, other than PAH
LP, received the Redemption Rights, which enable them to cause the Operating
Partnership to redeem each OP Unit for cash equal to the value of a share of
Common Stock (or, at the Company's election, the Company may purchase each OP
Unit offered for redemption for one share of Common Stock). The Redemption
Rights may not be exercised, however, if and to the extent that the delivery
of Common Stock upon exercise of such rights (regardless of whether the
Company would exercise its rights to deliver Common Stock) would (i) result in
any person owning, directly or indirectly, shares of Common Stock in excess of
the Ownership Limitation (or the Look-Through Ownership Limitation, if
applicable), (ii) result in shares of capital stock of the Company being owned
by fewer than 100 persons (determined without reference to any rules of
attribution), (iii) result in the Company being "closely held" within the
meaning of section 856(h) of the Code, (iv) cause the Company to own, actually
or constructively, 10% or more of the ownership interests in a tenant of the
Company's, the Operating Partnership's or a Subsidiary Partnership's real
property, within the meaning of section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code, or (v) cause
the acquisition of shares of Common Stock by such redeeming Limited Partner to
be "integrated" with any other distribution of shares of Common Stock for
purposes of complying with the Securities Act. The Redemption Rights may be
exercised (subject to the Lock-up Agreements), at any time after October 2,
1996, provided that not more than two redemptions by any Unitholder may occur
during each calendar year, and each Limited Partner may not exercise the
Redemption Right in respect of less than 1,000 OP Units or, if such Limited
Partner holds less than 1,000 OP Units, all of the OP Units held by such
Limited Partner. Prior to October 2, 1996, the Redemption Right may be
exercised (but only for cash) by a lender to whom any OP Units may have been
pledged, provided that such pledge was permissible in light of the Lock-up
Agreements. In the future, it may become necessary to place additional
restrictions on the exercise of Redemption Rights in order to assure that the
Operating Partnership does not become a "publicly traded partnership" that is
treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes. See "Federal Income
Tax Considerations--Tax Aspects of the Operating Partnership and the
Subsidiary Partnerships." The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of the Redemption Rights is 2,822,901. The number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Redemption Rights will be
adjusted upon the occurrence of share splits, mergers, consolidations or
similar pro rata share transactions, which otherwise would have the effect of
diluting the ownership interests of the Limited Partners or the shareholders
of the Company. See "Shares Available for Future Sale."
 
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
 
  For a description of the Company's obligation to register shares of its
Common Stock, see "Shares Available for Future Sale."
 
OPERATIONS
 
  The Partnership Agreement requires that the Operating Partnership be
operated in a manner that enables the Company to satisfy the requirements for
being classified as a REIT, to avoid any federal income or excise tax
liability imposed under the Code and to ensure that the Operating Partnership
will not be classified as a "publicly traded partnership" for purposes of
section 7704 of the Code.
 
  In addition to the administrative and operating costs and expenses incurred
by the Operating Partnership, the Operating Partnership pays all
administrative costs and expenses of the Company, PAH GP and PAH LP (the
"Company Expenses") and the Company Expenses are treated as expenses of the
Operating Partnership. The Company Expenses generally include (i) all expenses
relating to the formation and continuity of existence of the Company, PAH GP
and PAH LP, (ii) all expenses relating to the public offering and registration
of securities by the Company, (iii) all expenses associated with the
preparation and filing of any periodic reports by the Company under federal,
state or local laws or regulations, (iv) all expenses associated with
compliance by the Company, PAH GP and PAH LP with laws, rules and regulations
promulgated by any regulatory body and (v) all other operating or
administrative costs of PAH GP incurred in the ordinary course of its business
on behalf of the Operating Partnership. The Company Expenses, however, do not
include any administrative and operating
 
                                      101
<PAGE>
 
costs and expenses incurred by the Company that are attributable to hotel
properties or partnership interests in a Subsidiary Partnership that are owned
by the Company directly. The Company currently does not own any hotels
directly.
 
DISTRIBUTIONS AND ALLOCATIONS
 
  The Partnership Agreement provides that the Operating Partnership distribute
cash from operations (including net sale or refinancing proceeds, but
excluding net proceeds from the sale of the Operating Partnership's property
in connection with the liquidation of the Operating Partnership) on a
quarterly (or, at the election of the General Partner, more frequent) basis,
in amounts determined by the General Partner in its sole discretion, to the
partners in accordance with their respective percentage interests in the
Operating Partnership. Upon liquidation of the Operating Partnership, after
payment of, or adequate provision for, debts and obligations of the Operating
Partnership, including any partner loans, any remaining assets of the
Operating Partnership will be distributed to all partners with positive
capital accounts in accordance with their respective positive capital account
balances. If the General Partner has a negative balance in its capital account
following a liquidation of the Operating Partnership, it will be obligated to
contribute cash to the Operating Partnership equal to the negative balance in
its capital account.
 
  Profit and loss of the Operating Partnership for each fiscal year of the
Operating Partnership is generally allocated among the partners in accordance
with their respective interests in the Operating Partnership. Taxable income
and loss will be allocated in the same manner, subject to compliance with the
provisions of Code sections 704(b) and 704(c) and Treasury Regulations
promulgated thereunder.
 
TERM
 
  The Operating Partnership will continue until December 31, 2050, or until
sooner dissolved upon the (i) bankruptcy, dissolution or withdrawal of the
General Partner (unless the Limited Partners elect to continue the Operating
Partnership), (ii) sale or other disposition of all or substantially all the
assets of the Operating Partnership, (iii) redemption of all limited
partnership interests in the Operating Partnership (other than those held by
PAH LP), or (iv) election by the General Partner.
 
TAX MATTERS
 
  Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, the General Partner is the tax
matters partner of the Operating Partnership and, as such, has authority to
handle tax audits and to make tax elections under the Code on behalf of the
Operating Partnership.
 
PREFERRED OP UNITS
   
  In connection with the Private Placement, the Operating Partnership issued
662,391 Preferred OP Units. The Preferred OP Units pay distributions equal to
103% of the current annual dividend paid on the outstanding Common Stock,
subject to increase or decrease by the dollar amount of any increase or
decrease in the dividend paid on the Common Stock. In addition, if, for any
taxable year of the Operating Partnership ending on or before December 31,
1998, that portion of the Preferred OP Units holder's distributive share of
Operating Partnership taxable income which consists of "unrelated business
taxable income" as defined in section 512(a)(1) of the Code exceeds twenty
percent (the "UBTI Threshold") (any such excess, the "Excess UBTI") then the
Preferred OP Unit holder will be entitled to an additional distribution from
the Operating Partnership with respect to such taxable year equal to the
product of (i) the Excess UBTI multiplied by (ii) the federal tax rate
applicable to the Excess UBTI. Prior to the third anniversary of issuance, the
Preferred OP Units generally will not be convertible into Common Stock, except
under certain limited circumstances. On or after the third anniversary of
issuance, the holders may exchange their Preferred OP Units for shares of
Common Stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment and to an ownership
limitation of 4.9% of all outstanding Common Stock. After the tenth
anniversary of issuance, the Company may exchange the Preferred OP Units for
shares of Common Stock. The foregoing exchange rights are in lieu of the
conversion rights in the Partnership Agreement, which are not applicable to
the Preferred OP Units, with the exception of the anti-dilution provisions.

                       FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
   
  The following is a summary of material federal income tax considerations
that may be relevant to a prospective holder of the Common Stock. Goodwin,
Procter & Hoar  llp has acted as counsel to the Company and has reviewed this
summary and is of the opinion that it fairly summarizes the federal income tax
consequences that are likely to be material to a holder of the Common Stock.
The discussion does not address all aspects of taxation that may be relevant
to particular shareholders in light of their personal investment or tax
circumstances, or to certain types of shareholders (including insurance
companies, tax-exempt organizations, financial institutions or broker-dealers,
foreign corporations, and persons who are not citizens or residents of the
United States) subject to special treatment under the federal income tax laws.
       
  The statements in this discussion and the opinion of Goodwin, Procter & Hoar
 llp are based on current provisions of the Code, existing, temporary, and
currently proposed Treasury regulations promulgated under the Code ("Treasury
Regulations"), the legislative history of the Code, existing administrative
rulings and practices of the Service, and judicial decisions. No assurance can
be given that future legislative, judicial, or administrative actions or
decisions, which may be retroactive in effect, will not affect the accuracy of
any statements in this Prospectus with respect to the transactions entered
into or contemplated prior to the effective date of such changes.     
 
  EACH PROSPECTIVE PURCHASER IS ADVISED TO CONSULT HIS OWN TAX ADVISOR
REGARDING THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES TO HIM OR HER OF THE PURCHASE,
OWNERSHIP, AND SALE OF THE COMMON STOCK AND OF THE COMPANY'S ELECTION TO BE
TAXED AS A REIT, INCLUDING THE FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, FOREIGN, AND OTHER TAX
CONSEQUENCES OF SUCH PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP, SALE, AND ELECTION, AND OF POTENTIAL
CHANGES IN APPLICABLE TAX LAWS.
 
TAXATION OF THE COMPANY
 
  The Company will make an election to be taxed as a REIT under sections 856
through 860 of the Code. The Company believes that it is organized and
operates in such a manner as to qualify for taxation as a REIT under the Code,
and the Company intends to continue to operate in such a manner, but no
assurance can be given that the Company will operate in a manner so as to
qualify or remain qualified as a REIT.
 
  The sections of the Code relating to qualification and operation as a REIT
are highly technical and complex. The following discussion sets forth the
material aspects of the Code sections that govern the federal income tax
treatment of a REIT and its shareholders. The discussion is qualified in its
entirety by the applicable Code provisions, Treasury Regulations promulgated
thereunder, and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, all of
which are subject to change prospectively or retrospectively.
   
  In the opinion of Goodwin, Procter & Hoar  llp, commencing with the taxable
year ending December 31, 1995, the Company has been organized and operated in
conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT
under the Code, and the Company's proposed method of operation will enable it
to continue to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT
under the Code. Investors should be aware, however, that opinions of counsel
are not binding upon the Service or any court. It must be emphasized that
Goodwin, Procter & Hoar  llp's opinion is based on various assumptions and is
conditioned upon certain representations made by the Company as to factual
matters, including representations regarding the nature of the Company's
properties, the Participating Leases, and the future conduct of the Company's
business. Moreover, such qualification and taxation as a REIT depends upon the
Company's ability to meet on a continuing basis, through actual annual
operating results, the distribution levels, stock ownership, and other various
qualification tests imposed under the Code discussed below. Goodwin, Procter &
Hoar  llp will not review the Company's compliance with those tests on a
continuing basis. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the actual
results     
 
                                      103
<PAGE>
 
of the Company's operation for any particular taxable year will satisfy such
requirements. For a discussion of the tax consequences of failure to qualify
as a REIT, see "Federal Income Tax Considerations--Failure to Qualify."
   
  As a REIT, the Company generally is not subject to federal corporate income
tax on its net income that is distributed currently to its shareholders. That
treatment substantially eliminates the "double taxation" of income (i.e.,
taxation at both the corporate and shareholder levels) that generally results
from investment in a corporation. However, the Company will be subject to
federal income tax in the following circumstances. First, the Company will be
taxed at regular corporate rates on any undistributed REIT taxable income,
including undistributed net capital gains. Second, under certain
circumstances, the Company may be subject to the "alternative minimum tax" on
its items of tax preference. Third, if the Company has (i) net income from the
sale or other disposition of "foreclosure property" that is held primarily for
sale to customers in the ordinary course of business or (ii) other
nonqualifying income from foreclosure property, it will be subject to tax at
the highest corporate rate on such income. Fourth, if the Company has net
income from prohibited transactions (which are, in general, certain sales or
other dispositions of property (other than foreclosure property) held
primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business), such
income will be subject to a 100% tax. Fifth, if the Company should fail to
satisfy the 75% gross income test or the 95% gross income test (as discussed
below), and has nonetheless maintained its qualification as a REIT because
certain other requirements have been met, it will be subject to a 100% tax on
the net income attributable to the greater of the amount by which the Company
fails the 75% or 95% gross income test. Sixth, if the Company should fail to
distribute during each calendar year at least the sum of (i) 85% of its REIT
ordinary income for such year, (ii) 95% of its REIT capital gain net income
for such year, and (iii) any undistributed taxable income from prior periods,
the Company would be subject to a 4% excise tax on the excess of such required
distribution over the amounts actually distributed. Seventh, if the Company
acquires any asset from a C corporation (i.e., a corporation generally subject
to full corporate-level tax) in a transaction in which the basis of the asset
in the Company's hands is determined by reference to the basis of the asset
(or any other asset) in the hands of the C corporation and the Company
recognizes gain on the disposition of such asset during the 10-year period
beginning on the date on which such asset was acquired by the Company, then to
the extent of such asset's "built-in gain" (i.e., the excess of the fair
market value of such asset at the time of acquisition by the Company over the
adjusted basis in such asset at such time), such gain will be subject to tax
at the highest regular corporate rate applicable (as provided in Treasury
Regulations that have not yet been promulgated). The results described above
with respect to the recognition of "built-in gain" assume that the Company
would make an election pursuant to IRS Notice 88-19 if it were to make any
such acquisition.     
 
REQUIREMENTS FOR QUALIFICATION
 
  The Code defines a REIT as a corporation, trust or association (i) that is
managed by one or more directors or trustees; (ii) the beneficial ownership of
which is evidenced by transferable shares, or by transferable certificates of
beneficial interest; (iii) that would be taxable as a domestic corporation,
but for sections 856 through 860 of the Code; (iv) that is neither a financial
institution nor an insurance company subject to certain provisions of the
Code; (v) the beneficial ownership of which is held by 100 or more persons;
(vi) not more than 50% in value of the outstanding capital stock of which is
owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the
Code to include certain entities) during the last half of each taxable year
(the "5/50 Rule"); (vii) that makes an election to be a REIT (or has made such
election for a previous taxable year) and satisfies all relevant filing and
other administrative requirements established by the Service that must be met
in order to elect and to maintain REIT status; (viii) that uses a calendar
year for federal income tax purposes and complies with the recordkeeping
requirements of the Code and Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder; and
(ix) that meets certain other tests, described below, regarding the nature of
its income and assets. The Code provides that conditions (i) to (iv),
inclusive, must be met during the entire taxable year and that condition (v)
must be met during at least 335 days of a taxable year of 12 months, or during
a proportionate part of a taxable year of less than 12 months. The Company
believes that it has issued sufficient Common Stock with sufficient diversity
of ownership to allow it to satisfy requirements (v) and (vi). In addition,
the Company's Articles of Incorporation provide for restrictions regarding
transfer of the Common Stock that are intended to assist the
 
                                      104
<PAGE>
 
Company in continuing to satisfy the share ownership requirements described in
(v) and (vi) above. Such transfer
restrictions are described in "Description of Capital Stock--Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaw Provisions-- Restrictions on Transfer."
 
  For purposes of determining share ownership under the 5/50 Rule, a
supplemental unemployment compensation benefits plan, a private foundation, or
a portion of a trust permanently set aside or used exclusively for charitable
purposes generally is considered an individual. A trust that is a qualified
trust under Code section 401(a), however, generally is not considered an
individual and the beneficiaries of such trust are treated as holding shares
of a REIT in proportion to their actuarial interests in the pension trust for
purposes of the 5/50 Rule.
 
  The Company has two wholly-owned subsidiary corporations, PAH GP and PAH LP.
The Company also may have additional corporate subsidiaries in the future.
Code section 856(i) provides that a corporation that is a "qualified REIT
subsidiary" shall not be treated as a separate corporation, and all assets,
liabilities, and items of income, deduction, and credit of a "qualified REIT
subsidiary" shall be treated as assets, liabilities, and items of income,
deduction, and credit of the REIT. A "qualified REIT subsidiary" is a
corporation, all of the capital stock of which has been held by the REIT at
all times during the period such corporation was in existence. Thus, in
applying the requirements described herein, the Company's "qualified REIT
subsidiaries" are ignored, and all assets, liabilities, and items of income,
deduction, and credit of such subsidiaries are treated as assets, liabilities
and items of income, deduction, and credit of the Company. PAH GP and PAH LP
have been formed as "qualified REIT subsidiaries."
   
  In the case of a REIT that is a partner in a partnership, Treasury
Regulations provide that the REIT will be deemed to own its proportionate
share (based on the REIT's interest in partnership capital) of the assets of
the partnership and will be deemed to be entitled to the gross income of the
partnership attributable to such share. In addition, the character of the
assets and gross income of the partnership will retain the same character in
the hands of the REIT for purposes of section 856 of the Code, including
satisfying the gross income and asset tests, described below. Thus, the
Company's proportionate share of the assets, liabilities and items of income
of the Operating Partnership and the Subsidiary Partnerships are treated as
assets and gross income of the Company for purposes of applying the
requirements described herein.     
 
 Income Tests
 
  In order for the Company to maintain its qualification as a REIT, there are
three requirements relating to the Company's gross income that must be
satisfied annually. First, at least 75% of the Company's gross income
(excluding gross income from prohibited transactions) for each taxable year
must consist of defined types of income derived directly or indirectly from
investments relating to real property or mortgages on real property (including
"rents from real property" and, in certain circumstances, interest) or
temporary investment income. Second, at least 95% of the Company's gross
income (excluding gross income from prohibited transactions) for each taxable
year must be derived from such real property or temporary investments, and
from dividends, other types of interest, and gain from the sale or disposition
of stock or securities, or from any combination of the foregoing. Third, not
more that 30% of the Company's gross income (including gross income from
prohibited transactions) for each taxable year may be gain from the sale or
other disposition of (i) stock or securities held for less than one year, (ii)
dealer property that is not foreclosure property and not otherwise eligible
for a regulatory safe harbor, and (iii) certain real property held for less
than four years (apart from involuntary conversions and sales of foreclosure
property). The specific application of these tests to the Company is discussed
below.
   
  Rents received by the Company will qualify as "rents from real property" in
satisfying the gross income requirements for a REIT described above only if
several conditions are met. First, the amount of rent must not be based in
whole or in part on the income or profits of any person; provided, however,
that an amount received or accrued generally will not be excluded from the
term "rents from real property" solely by reason of being based on a fixed
percentage or percentages of receipts or sales. Second, the Code provides that
rents received from a tenant will not qualify as "rents from real property" in
satisfying the gross income tests if the Company, or an owner of 10% or more
of the Company, directly or constructively owns 10% or more of such tenant (a
    
                                      105
<PAGE>
 
       
"Related Party Tenant"). Third, if rent attributable to personal property,
leased in connection with a lease of real property, is greater than 15% of the
total rent received under the lease, then the portion of rent attributable to
such personal property will not qualify as "rents from real property."
Finally, for rents received to qualify as "rents from real property," the
Company generally must not operate or manage the property or furnish or render
services to the tenants of such property, other than through an "independent
contractor" who is adequately compensated and from whom the Company derives no
revenue. The "independent contractor" requirement, however, does not apply to
the extent the services provided by the Company are "usually or customarily
rendered" in connection with the rental of space for occupancy only and are
not otherwise considered "rendered to the occupant."
   
  Pursuant to the Participating Leases, the Lessees lease from the Operating
Partnership or a Subsidiary Partnership the land, buildings, improvements,
furnishings, and equipment comprising the Hotels (except for the Crowne Plaza
Ravinia Hotel), for periods ranging from 10 to 12 years. The Participating
Leases provide that the Lessees will be obligated to pay to the Operating
Partnership or a Subsidiary Partnership (i) the greater of Base Rent or
Participating Rent (collectively, the "Rents") and (ii) Additional Charges or
other expenses as defined in the Participating Lease Agreements. Participating
Rent is calculated by multiplying fixed percentages by various revenue
categories for each of the Hotels. Both Base Rent and the thresholds in the
Participating Rent formulas will be adjusted for inflation (with the exception
of the hotels in the WestCoast Portfolio for which Base Rent increases as
specified in the NorthCoast Participating Leases). Base Rent accrues and is
required to be paid monthly. Participating Rent is payable monthly, with
monthly adjustments based on actual results.     
   
  In order for Base Rent, Participating Rent, and Additional Charges to
constitute "rents from real property," the Participating Leases must be
respected as true leases for federal income tax purposes and not treated as
service contracts, joint ventures or some other type of arrangement. The
determination of whether the Participating Leases are true leases depends on
an analysis of all the surrounding facts and circumstances. In making such a
determination, courts have considered a variety of factors, including the
following: (i) the intent of the parties, (ii) the form of the agreement,
(iii) the degree of control over the property that is retained by the property
owner (e.g., whether the lessee has substantial control over the operation of
the property or whether the lessee was required simply to use its best efforts
to perform its obligations under the agreement), and (iv) the extent to which
the property owner retains the risk of loss with respect to the property
(e.g., whether the lessee bears the risk of increases in operating expenses or
the risk of damage to the property) or the potential for economic gain (e.g.,
appreciation) with respect to the property. In addition, Code section 7701(e)
provides that a contract that purports to be a service contract (or a
partnership agreement) is treated instead as a lease of property if the
contract is properly treated as such, taking into account all relevant
factors, including whether or not: (i) the service recipient is in physical
possession of the property, (ii) the service recipient controls the property,
(iii) the service recipient has a significant economic or possessory interest
in the property (e.g., the property's use is likely to be dedicated to the
service recipient for a substantial portion of the useful life of the
property, the recipient shares the risk that the property will decline in
value, the recipient shares in any appreciation in the value of the property,
the recipient shares in savings in the property's operating costs, or the
recipient bears the risk of damage to or loss of the property), (iv) the
service provider does not bear any risk of substantially diminished receipts
or substantially increased expenditures if there is nonperformance under the
contract, (v) the service provider does not use the property concurrently to
provide significant services to entities unrelated to the service recipient,
and (vi) the total contract price does not substantially exceed the rental
value of the property for the contract period. Since the determination whether
a service contract should be treated as a lease is inherently factual, the
presence or absence of any single factor may not be dispositive in every case.
The Company believes, however, that the Participating Leases are properly
treated as true leases for federal income tax purposes.     
       
  Investors should be aware that there are no controlling Treasury
Regulations, published rulings, or judicial decisions involving leases with
terms substantially the same as the Participating Leases that discuss whether
such leases constitute true leases for federal income tax purposes. Therefore,
there can be no complete assurance that the Service will not assert
successfully a contrary position. If the Participating Leases are
recharacterized as
 
                                      106
<PAGE>
 
service contracts or partnership agreements, rather than true leases, part or
all of the payments that the Operating Partnership and the Subsidiary
Partnerships receive from the Lessees would not be considered rent or would
not otherwise satisfy the various requirements for qualification as "rents
from real property." In that case, the
Company likely would not be able to satisfy either the 75% or 95% gross income
tests and, as a result, would lose its REIT status.
   
  In order for the Rents to constitute "rents from real property," several
other requirements also must be satisfied. One requirement is that the Rents
attributable to personal property leased in connection with the lease of the
real property comprising a Hotel must not be greater than 15% of the Rents
received under the Participating Lease. The Rents attributable to the personal
property in a Hotel is the amount that bears the same ratio to total rent for
the taxable year as the average of the adjusted bases of the personal property
in a Hotel at the beginning and at the end of the taxable year bears to the
average of the aggregate adjusted bases of both the real and personal property
comprising the Hotel at the beginning and at the end of such taxable year (the
"Adjusted Basis Ratio"). If a portion of the Rents from a particular hotel
property do not qualify as "rents from real property" because the amount
attributable to personal property exceeds 15% of the total Rents for a taxable
year, the portion of the Rents that is attributable to personal property will
not be qualifying income for purposes of either the 75% or 95% gross income
tests. Thus, if such Rents attributable to personal property, plus any other
nonqualifying income, during a taxable year exceed 5% of the Company's gross
income during the year, the Company would lose its REIT status. With respect
to each Hotel (or interest therein) that the Operating Partnership acquires in
exchange for OP Units, the initial adjusted bases of both the real and
personal property comprising such Hotel generally will be the same as the
adjusted bases of such property in the hands of the previous owner. With
respect to each Hotel (or interest therein) that the Operating Partnership
acquires for cash, the aggregate initial adjusted bases of the real and
personal property comprising such Hotel generally will equal the cash
consideration paid and such bases generally will be allocated among real and
personal property based on relative fair market values. With respect to each
Hotel, the Company believes that the Adjusted Basis Ratio for the Hotel is
less than 15% or that any nonqualifying income attributable to excess personal
property will not jeopardize the Company's ability to qualify as a REIT. The
Participating Leases provide that the Adjusted Basis Ratio for each Hotel
shall not exceed 15%. The Participating Leases further provide that the
Lessees will cooperate in good faith and use their best efforts to prevent the
Adjusted Basis Ratio for any Hotel from exceeding 15%, which cooperation may
include the purchase by Lessee at fair market value of enough personal
property at such Hotel so that the Adjusted Basis Ratio for such Hotel is less
than 15%. Finally, amounts in the Company's reserve for capital expenditures
may not be expended to acquire additional personal property for a Hotel to the
extent that such acquisition would cause the Adjusted Basis Ratio for that
Hotel to exceed 15%. There can be no assurance, however, that the Service
would not challenge the Company's calculation of an Adjusted Basis Ratio, or
that a court would not uphold such assertion. If such a challenge were
successfully asserted, the Company could fail to satisfy the 95% or 75% gross
income test and thus lose its REIT status.     
 
  Another requirement for qualification of the Rents as "rents from real
property" is that the Participating Rent must not be based in whole or in part
on the income or profits of any person. The Participating Rent, however, will
qualify as "rents from real property" if it is based on percentages of
receipts or sales and the percentages (i) are fixed at the time the
Participating Leases are entered into, (ii) are not renegotiated during the
term of the Participating Leases in a manner that has the effect of basing
Participating Rent on income or profits, and (iii) conform with normal
business practice. More generally, the Participating Rent will not qualify as
"rents from real property" if, considering the Participating Leases and all
the surrounding circumstances, the arrangement does not conform with normal
business practice, but is in reality used as a means of basing the
Participating Rent on income or profits. Since the Participating Rent is based
on fixed percentages of the gross revenues from the Hotels that are
established in the Participating Leases, and the Company has represented that
the percentages (i) will not be renegotiated during the terms of the
Participating Leases in a manner that has the effect of basing the
Participating Rent on income or profits and (ii) conform with normal business
practice, the Participating Rent should not be considered based in whole or in
part on the income or profits of any person. Furthermore, the Company has
represented that, with respect to other hotel properties that it acquires in
the future, it will not charge rent for any property that is based in whole or
in part on the income or profits of any person (except by reason of being
based on a fixed percentage of gross revenues, as described above).
 
 
                                      107
<PAGE>
 
  A third requirement for qualification of the Rents as "rents from real
property" is that the Company must not own, actually or constructively, 10% or
more of any Lessee. The constructive ownership rules generally provide that,
if 10% or more in value of the stock of the Company is owned, directly or
indirectly, by or for any person, the Company is considered as owning the
stock owned, directly or indirectly, by or for such person. The
Company initially will not own any stock of the Lessees. The Limited Partners
of the Operating Partnership may acquire Common Stock (at the Company's
option) by exercising their Redemption Rights. The Partnership Agreement,
however, provides that a redeeming limited partner may not exercise its
Redemption Right if and to the extent, the delivery of Common Stock upon the
exercise of such rights would cause the Company to own, actually or
constructively, 10% or more of the ownership interests in a tenant of the
Company's, the Operating Partnership's or a Subsidiary Partnership's real
property, within the meaning of section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code. The Articles
of Incorporation likewise prohibit a shareholder of the Company from owning
Common Stock or Preferred Shares that would cause the Company to own, actually
or constructively, 10% or more of the ownership interests in a tenant of the
Company's, the Operating Partnership's or a Subsidiary Partnership's real
property, within the meaning of section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code. Thus, the
Company should never own, actually or constructively, 10% of more of a Lessee.
Furthermore, the Company has represented that, with respect to other hotel
properties that it acquires in the future, it will not rent any property to a
Related Party Tenant. However, because the Code's constructive ownership rules
for purposes of the Related Party Tenant rules are broad and it is not
possible to monitor continually direct and indirect transfers of Common Stock,
no absolute assurance can be given that such transfers or other events of
which the Company has no knowledge will not cause the Company to own
constructively 10% or more of the Initial Lessee at some future date.
 
  A fourth requirement for qualification of the Rents as "rents from real
property" is that the Company cannot furnish or render noncustomary services
to the tenants of the Hotels, or manage or operate the Hotels, other than
through an independent contractor who is adequately compensated and from whom
the Company itself does not derive or receive any income. Provided that the
Participating Leases are respected as true leases, the Company should satisfy
that requirement, because the Operating Partnership or a Subsidiary
Partnership, as applicable, is not performing any services other than
customary ones for the Lessees. Furthermore, the Company has represented that,
with respect to other hotel properties that it acquires in the future, it will
not perform noncustomary services with respect to the tenant of the property.
   
   If the Rents from a particular hotel property do not qualify as "rents from
real property" because either (i) the Participating Rent is considered based
on income or profits of a Lessee, (ii) the Company owns, actually or
constructively, 10% or more of a Lessee, or (iii) the Company furnishes
noncustomary services to the tenants of the Hotels, or manages or operates the
Hotels, other than through a qualifying independent contractor, none of the
Rents from that hotel property would qualify as "rents from real property." In
that case, the Company likely would lose its REIT status because it would be
unable to satisfy either the 75% or 95% gross income tests.     
 
  In addition to the Rents, the Lessees are required to pay to the Operating
Partnership or a Subsidiary Partnership, as applicable, Additional Charges. To
the extent that Additional Charges represent either (i) reimbursements of
amounts that the Lessor is obligated to pay to third parties or (ii) penalties
for nonpayment or late payment of such amounts, Additional Charges should
qualify as "rents from real property." To the extent that Additional Charges
represent interest that is accrued on the late payment of the Rents or
Additional Charges, such Additional Charges may qualify as "rents from real
property." To the extent such Additional Charges representing interest are not
treated as "rents from real property," they should be treated as interest that
qualifies for the 95% gross income test.
 
  The term "interest" generally does not include any amount received or
accrued (directly or indirectly) if the determination of such amount depends
in whole or in part on the income or profits of any person. However, an amount
received or accrued generally will not be excluded from the term "interest"
solely by reason of being based on a fixed percentage or percentages of
receipts or sales. Furthermore, to the extent that interest from a
 
                                      108
<PAGE>
 
loan that is based on the residual cash proceeds from sale of the property
securing the loan constitutes a "shared appreciation provision" (as defined in
the Code), income attributable to such participation feature will be treated
as gain from the sale of the secured property.
   
  Any gross income derived from a prohibited transaction is taken into account
in applying the 30% income test necessary to qualify as a REIT (and the net
income from that transaction is subject to a 100% tax). The term "prohibited
transaction" generally includes a sale or other disposition (whether by the
Company, the Operating Partnership or a Subsidiary Partnership) of property
(other than foreclosure property) that is held primarily for sale to customers
in the ordinary course of a trade or business. All inventory required in the
operation of the Hotels will be owned by the Lessees under the terms of the
Participating Leases. Accordingly, the Company believes no asset owned by the
Company, the Operating Partnership or a Subsidiary Partnership is held for
sale to customers and that a sale of any such asset will not be in the
ordinary course of business of the Company, the Operating Partnership or a
Subsidiary Partnership. Whether property is held "primarily for sale to
customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business" depends, however, on
the facts and circumstances in effect from time to time, including those
related to a particular property. Nevertheless, the Company will attempt to
comply with the terms of safe-harbor provisions in the Code prescribing when
asset sales will not be characterized as prohibited transactions. Complete
assurance cannot be given, however, that the Company can comply with the safe-
harbor provisions of the Code or avoid owning property that may be
characterized as property held "primarily for sale to customers in the
ordinary course of a trade or business."     
 
  The Company will be subject to tax at the maximum corporate rate on any
income from foreclosure property (other than income that would be qualified
income under the 75% gross income test), less expenses directly connected with
the production of such income. However, gross income from such foreclosure
property will qualify under the 75% and 95% gross income tests. "Foreclosure
property" is defined as any real property (including interests in real
property) and any personal property incident to such real property (i) that is
acquired by a REIT as the result of such REIT having bid in such property at
foreclosure, or having otherwise reduced such property to ownership or
possession by agreement or process of law, after there was a default (or
default was imminent) on a lease of such property or on an indebtedness that
such property secured and (ii) for which such REIT makes a proper election to
treat such property as foreclosure property. However, a REIT will not be
considered to have foreclosed on a property where such REIT takes control of
the property as a mortgagee-in-possession and cannot receive any profit or
sustain any loss except as a creditor of the mortgagor. Under the Code,
property generally ceases to be foreclosure property with respect to a REIT on
the date that is two years after the date such REIT acquired such property (or
longer if an extension is granted by the Secretary of the Treasury). The
foregoing grace period is terminated and foreclosure property ceases to be
foreclosure property on the first day (i) on which a lease is entered into
with respect to such property that, by its terms, will give rise to income
that does not qualify under the 75% gross income test or any amount is
received or accrued, directly or indirectly, pursuant to a lease entered into
on or after such day that will give rise to income that does not qualify under
the 75% gross income test, (ii) on which any construction takes place on such
property (other than completion of a building, or any other improvement, where
more than 10% of the construction of such building or other improvement was
completed before default became imminent), or (iii) which is more than 90 days
after the day on which such property was acquired by the REIT and the property
is used in a trade or business which is conducted by the REIT (other than
through an independent contractor from whom the REIT itself does not derive or
receive any income). As a result of the rules with respect to foreclosure
property, if a Lessee defaults on its obligations under a Participating Lease
for a Hotel, the Company terminates the Lessee's leasehold interest, and the
Company is unable to find a replacement lessee for such Hotel within 90 days
of such foreclosure, gross income from hotel operations conducted by the
Company from such Hotel would cease to qualify for the 75% and 95% gross
income tests unless the Company employs an independent contractor to manage
the Hotel. In such event, the Company likely would be unable to satisfy the
75% and 95% gross income tests and, thus, would fail to qualify as a REIT.
 
  It is possible that, from time to time, the Company, the Operating
Partnership or a Subsidiary Partnership will enter into hedging transactions
with respect to one or more of its assets or liabilities. Any such hedging
transactions could take a variety of forms, including interest rate swap
contracts, interest rate cap or floor
 
                                      109
<PAGE>
 
contracts, futures or forward contracts, and options. To the extent that the
Company, the Operating Partnership or a Subsidiary Partnership enters into an
interest rate swap or cap contract to hedge any variable rate indebtedness
incurred to acquire or carry real estate assets, any periodic income or gain
from the disposition of
such contract should be qualifying income for purposes of the 95% gross income
test, but not the 75% gross income test. Furthermore, any such contract would
be considered a "security" for purposes of applying the 30% gross income test.
To the extent that the Company, Operating Partnership or a Subsidiary
Partnership hedges with other types of financial instruments or in other
situations, it may not be entirely clear how the income from those
transactions will be treated for purposes of the various income tests that
apply to REITs under the Code. The Company intends to structure any hedging
transactions in a manner that does not jeopardize its status as a REIT. If the
Company fails to satisfy one or both of the 75% or 95% gross income tests for
any taxable year, it may nevertheless qualify as a REIT for such year if it is
entitled to relief under certain provisions of the Code. Those relief
provisions will be generally available if the Company's failure to meet such
tests is due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect, the Company
attaches a schedule of the sources of its income to its return, and any
incorrect information on the schedule was not due to fraud with intent to
evade tax. It is not possible, however, to state whether in all circumstances
the Company would be entitled to the benefit of those relief provisions. As
discussed above in "Federal Income Tax Considerations--Taxation of the
Company," even if those relief provisions apply, a 100% tax would be imposed
with respect to the net income attributable to the excess of 75% or 95% of the
Company's gross income over its qualifying income in the relevant category,
whichever is greater. No such relief is available for violations of the 30%
income test.
 
 Asset Tests
 
  The Company, at the close of each quarter of its taxable year, also must
satisfy two tests relating to the nature of its assets. First, at least 75% of
the value of the Company's total assets must be represented by cash or cash
items (including certain receivables), government securities, "real estate
assets," including, in cases where the Company raises new capital through
stock or long-term (at least five-year) debt offerings, temporary investments
in stock or debt instruments during the one-year period following the
Company's receipt of such capital. The term "real estate assets" includes
interests in real property, interests in mortgages on real property to the
extent the mortgage balance does not exceed the value of the associated real
property, and shares of other REITs. For purposes of the 75% asset
requirement, the term "interest in real property" includes an interest in land
and improvements thereon, such as buildings or other inherently permanent
structures (including items that are structural components of such buildings
or structures), a leasehold in real property, and an option to acquire real
property (or a leasehold in real property). Second, of the investments not
included in the 75% asset class, the value of any one issuer's securities
owned by the Company may not exceed 5% of the value of the Company's total
assets and the Company may not own more than 10% of any one issuer's
outstanding voting securities (except for its ownership interest in the
Operating Partnership, a Subsidiary Partnership, the stock of PAH GP and PAH
LP, or the stock of any other corporate subsidiary with respect to which it
has held 100% of the stock at all times during the subsidiary's existence).
 
  For purposes of the asset requirements, the Company is deemed to own its
proportionate share of the assets of the Operating Partnership and each
Subsidiary Partnership, rather than its partnership interests in the Operating
Partnership and each Subsidiary Partnership. The Company believes that, as of
the date of the Offering, (i) at least 75% of the value of its total assets
are represented by real estate assets, cash and cash items (including
receivables), and government securities and (ii) it does not own any
securities that do not satisfy the 75% asset requirement. In addition, the
Company does not intend to acquire or dispose, or cause the Operating
Partnership or a Subsidiary Partnership to acquire or dispose, of assets in
the future in a way that would cause it to violate either asset requirement.
 
  If the Company should fail to satisfy the asset requirements at the end of a
calendar quarter, such a failure would not cause it to lose its REIT status if
(i) it satisfied all of the asset tests at the close of the preceding calendar
quarter and (ii) the discrepancy between the value of the Company's assets and
the asset requirements either did not exist immediately after the acquisition
of any particular asset or was not wholly or partly caused by such an
acquisition (i.e., the discrepancy arose from changes in the market values of
its assets). If the
 
                                      110
<PAGE>
 
condition described in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence were not
satisfied, the Company still could avoid disqualification by eliminating any
discrepancy within 30 days after the close of the calendar quarter in which it
arose.
 
 Distribution Requirements
 
  The Company, in order to qualify as a REIT, is required to distribute
dividends (other than capital gain dividends) to its shareholders in an amount
at least equal to (i) the sum of (A) 95% of its "REIT taxable income"
(computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and its net capital
gain) and (B) 95% of the net income (after tax), if any, from foreclosure
property, minus (ii) the sum of certain items of noncash income. Such
distributions must be paid in the taxable year to which they relate, or in the
following taxable year if declared before the Company timely files its tax
return for such year and if paid on or before the first regular dividend
payment after such declaration. To the extent that the Company does not
distribute all of its net capital gain or distributes at least 95%, but less
than 100%, of its "REIT taxable income," as adjusted, it will be subject to
tax thereon at regular ordinary and capital gains corporate tax rates.
Furthermore, if the Company should fail to distribute during each calendar
year at least the sum of (i) 85% of its REIT ordinary income for such year,
(ii) 95% of its REIT capital gain income for such year, and (iii) any
undistributed taxable income from prior periods, the Company would be subject
to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the excess of such required distribution
over the amounts actually distributed. The Company intends to make timely
distributions sufficient to satisfy all annual distribution requirements.
 
  It is possible that, from time to time, the Company may experience timing
differences between (i) the actual receipt of income and actual payment of
deductible expenses and (ii) the inclusion of that income and deduction of
such expenses in arriving at its REIT taxable income. For example, it is
possible that, from time to time, the Company may be allocated a share of net
capital gain attributable to the sale of depreciated property that exceeds its
allocable share of cash attributable to that sale. In addition, the Company
may incur expenditures (such as repayment of loan principal) that do not give
rise to a deduction. Therefore, the Company may have less cash available for
distribution than is necessary to meet its annual 95% distribution requirement
or to avoid corporate income tax or the excise tax imposed on certain
undistributed income. In such a situation, the Company may find it necessary
to arrange for short-term (or possibly long-term) borrowings or to raise funds
through the issuance of additional shares of common or preferred stock.
 
  Under certain circumstances, the Company may be able to rectify a failure to
meet the distribution requirements for a year by paying "deficiency dividends"
to its shareholders in a later year, which may be included in the Company's
deduction for dividends paid for the earlier year. Although the Company may be
able to avoid being taxed on amounts distributed as deficiency dividends, it
will be required to pay to the Service interest based upon the amount of any
deduction taken for deficiency dividends.
 
 Recordkeeping Requirements
 
  Pursuant to applicable Treasury Regulations, in order to be able to elect to
be taxed as a REIT, the Company must maintain certain records and request on
an annual basis certain information from its shareholders designed to disclose
the actual ownership of its outstanding capital stock. The Company intends to
comply with such requirements.
 
 Partnership Anti-Abuse Rule
 
  The U.S. Department of the Treasury recently issued a final regulation (the
"Anti-Abuse Rule"), under the partnership provisions of the Code (the
"Partnership Provisions") that authorizes the Service, in certain abusive
transactions involving partnerships, to disregard the form of the transaction
and recast it for federal tax purposes as the Service deems appropriate. The
Anti-Abuse Rule applies where a partnership is formed or utilized in
connection with a transaction (or series of related transactions) with a
principal purpose of substantially reducing the present value of the partners'
aggregate federal tax liability in a manner inconsistent with the intent of
the
 
                                      111
<PAGE>
 
Partnership Provisions. The Anti-Abuse Rule states that the Partnership
Provisions are intended to permit taxpayers to conduct joint business
(including investment) activities though a flexible arrangement that
accurately reflects the partners' economic agreement and clearly reflects the
partners' income without incurring any entity-level tax. The purposes for
structuring a transaction involving a partnership are determined based on all
of the facts and circumstances, including a comparison of the purported
business purpose for a transaction and the
claimed tax benefits resulting from the transaction. A reduction in the
present value of the partners' aggregate federal tax liability through the use
of a partnership does not, by itself, establish inconsistency with the intent
of the Partnership Provisions. The Anti-Abuse Rule is effective for all
transactions relating to a partnership occurring on and after May 12, 1994.
The Anti-Abuse Rule contains an example in which a corporation that elects to
be treated as a REIT contributes substantially all of the proceeds from a
public offering to a partnership in exchange for a general partnership
interest. The limited partners of the partnership contribute real property
assets to the partnership, subject to liabilities that exceed their respective
aggregate bases in such property. In addition, some of the limited partners
have the right, beginning two years after the formation of the partnership, to
require the redemption of their limited partnership interests in exchange for
cash or REIT stock (at the REIT's option) equal to the fair market value of
their respective interests in the partnership at the time of the redemption.
The example concludes that the use of the partnership is not inconsistent with
the intent of the Partnership Provisions and, thus, cannot be recast by the
Service. However, the Redemption Rights do not conform in all respects to the
redemption rights contained in the foregoing example. Moreover, the Anti-Abuse
Rule is extraordinarily broad in scope and is applied based on an analysis of
all of the facts and circumstances. As a result, there can be no assurance
that the Service will not attempt to apply the Anti-Abuse Rule to the Company.
If the conditions of the Anti-Abuse Rule are met, the Service is authorized to
take appropriate enforcement action, including disregarding the Operating
Partnership for federal tax purposes or treating one or more of the partners
as nonpartners. Any such action potentially could jeopardize the Company's
status as a REIT.
 
FAILURE TO QUALIFY
 
  If the Company fails to qualify for taxation as a REIT in any taxable year,
and the relief provisions do not apply, the Company will be subject to tax
(including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on its taxable income at
regular corporate rates. Distributions to the shareholders in any year in
which the Company fails to qualify will not be deductible by the Company nor
will they be required to be made. In such event, to the extent of current or
accumulated earnings and profits, all distributions to shareholders will be
taxable as ordinary income and, subject to certain limitations of the Code,
corporate distributees may be eligible for the dividends received deduction.
Unless entitled to relief under specific statutory provisions, the Company
also will be disqualified from taxation as a REIT for the four taxable years
following the year during which the Company ceased to qualify as a REIT. It is
not possible to state whether in all circumstances the Company would be
entitled to such statutory relief.
 
TAXATION OF TAXABLE U.S. SHAREHOLDERS
 
  As long as the Company qualifies as a REIT, distributions made to the
Company's taxable U.S. shareholders out of current or accumulated earnings and
profits (and not designated as capital gain dividends) will be taken into
account by such U.S. shareholders as ordinary income and will not be eligible
for the dividends received deduction generally available to corporations. As
used herein, the term "U.S. shareholder" means a holder of Common Stock that
for U.S. federal income tax purposes is (i) a citizen or resident of the
United States, (ii) a corporation, partnership, or other entity created or
organized in or under the laws of the United States or of any political
subdivision thereof, or (iii) an estate or trust the income of which is
subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source.
Distributions that are designated as capital gain dividends will be taxed as
long-term capital gains (to the extent they do not exceed the Company's actual
net capital gain for the taxable year) without regard to the period for which
the shareholder has held his Common Stock. However, corporate shareholders may
be required to treat up to 20% of certain capital gain dividends as ordinary
income. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and
profits will not be taxable to a shareholder to the extent that they do not
exceed the adjusted basis of the shareholder's Common Stock, but rather will
reduce
 
                                      112
<PAGE>
 
the adjusted basis of such stock. To the extent that such distributions in
excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits exceed the adjusted
basis of a shareholder's Common Stock, such distributions will be included in
income as long-term capital gain (or short-term capital gain if the Common
Stock has been held for one year or less) assuming the Common Stock is a
capital asset in the hands of the shareholder. In addition, any distribution
declared by the Company in October, November, or December of any year and
payable to a shareholder of record on a specified date in any such month shall
be treated as both paid by the Company and
received by the shareholder on December 31 of such year, provided that the
distribution is actually paid by the Company during January of the following
calendar year.
 
  Shareholders may not include in their individual income tax returns any net
operating losses or capital losses of the Company. Instead, such losses would
be carried over by the Company for potential offset against its future income
(subject to certain limitations). Taxable distributions from the Company and
gain from the disposition of the Common Stock will not be treated as passive
activity income and, therefore, shareholders generally will not be able to
apply any "passive activity losses" (such as losses from certain types of
limited partnerships in which the shareholder is a limited partner) against
such income. In addition, taxable distributions from the Company generally
will be treated as investment income for purposes of the investment interest
limitations. Capital gains from the disposition of Common Stock (or
distributions treated as such) will be treated as investment income only if
the shareholder so elects, in which case such capital gains will be taxed at
ordinary income rates. The Company will notify shareholders after the close of
the Company's taxable year as to the portions of the distributions
attributable to that year that constitute ordinary income, return of capital,
and capital gain.
 
TAXATION OF SHAREHOLDERS ON THE DISPOSITION OF THE COMMON STOCK
 
  In general, any gain or loss realized upon a taxable disposition of the
Common Stock by a shareholder who is not a dealer in securities will be
treated as long-term capital gain or loss if the Common Stock has been held
for more than one year and otherwise as short-term capital gain or loss.
However, any loss upon a sale or exchange of Common Stock by a shareholder who
has held such stock for six months or less (after applying certain holding
period rules), will be treated as a long-term capital loss to the extent of
distributions from the Company required to be treated by such shareholder as
long-term capital gain. All or a portion of any loss realized upon a taxable
disposition of the Common Stock may be disallowed if other Common Stock is
purchased within 30 days before or after the disposition.
 
INFORMATION REPORTING REQUIREMENTS AND BACKUP WITHHOLDING
 
  The Company will report to its U.S. shareholders and the Service the amount
of distributions paid during each calendar year, and the amount of tax
withheld, if any. Under the backup withholding rules, a shareholder may be
subject to backup withholding at the rate of 31% with respect to distributions
paid unless such holder (i) is a corporation or comes within certain other
exempt categories and, when required, demonstrates this fact, or (ii) provides
a taxpayer identification number, certifies as to no loss of exemption from
backup withholding, and otherwise complies with the applicable requirements of
the backup withholding rules. A shareholder who does not provide the Company
with his correct taxpayer identification number also may be subject to
penalties imposed by the Service. Any amount paid as backup withholding will
be creditable against the shareholder's income tax liability. In addition, the
Company may be required to withhold a portion of capital gain distributions to
any shareholders who fail to certify their nonforeign status to the Company.
The Service issued proposed regulations in April 1996 regarding the backup
withholding rules. These proposed regulations would alter the current system
of backup withholding compliance. See "Federal Income Tax Considerations--
Taxation of Non-U.S. Shareholders."
 
TAXATION OF TAX-EXEMPT SHAREHOLDERS
 
  Tax-exempt entities, including qualified employee pension and profit sharing
trusts and individual retirement accounts ("Exempt Organizations"), generally
are exempt from federal income taxation. However, they are subject to taxation
on their unrelated business taxable income ("UBTI"). While many investments in
real estate
 
                                      113
<PAGE>
 
   
generate UBTI, amounts distributed by the Company to Exempt Organizations
generally should not constitute UBTI. However, if an Exempt Organization
finances its acquisition of Common Stock with debt, a portion of its income
from the Company will constitute UBTI pursuant to the "debt-financed property"
rules. Furthermore, social clubs, voluntary employee benefit associations,
supplemental unemployment benefit trusts, and qualified group legal services
plans that are exempt from taxation under paragraphs (7), (9), (17), and (20),
respectively, of Code section 501(c) are subject to different UBTI rules,
which generally will require them to characterize distributions from the
Company as UBTI. In addition, in certain circumstances, a pension trust that
owns more than 10% of the Company's stock is required to treat a percentage of
the dividends from the Company as UBTI (the "UBTI Percentage"). The UBTI
Percentage is the gross income derived by the Company from an unrelated trade
or business (determined as if the Company were a pension trust) divided by the
gross income of the Company for the year in which the dividends are paid. The
UBTI rule applies to a pension trust holding more than 10% of the Company's
stock only if (i) the UBTI Percentage is at least 5%, (ii) the Company
qualifies as a REIT by reason of the modification of the 5/50 Rule that allows
the beneficiaries of the pension trust to be treated as holding stock of the
Company in proportion to their actuarial interests in the pension trust, and
(iii) either (A) one pension trust owns more than 25% of the value of the
Company's stock or (B) a group of pension trusts individually holding more
than 10% of the value of the Company's stock collectively own more than 50% of
the value of the Company's stock.     
 
TAXATION OF NON-U.S. SHAREHOLDERS
 
  The rules governing U.S. federal income taxation of nonresident alien
individuals, foreign corporations, foreign partnerships, and other foreign
shareholders (collectively, "Non-U.S. Shareholders") are complex and no
attempt has been made herein to provide more than a summary of such rules.
 
PROSPECTIVE NON-U.S. SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS
TO DETERMINE THE IMPACT OF FEDERAL, STATE, AND LOCAL INCOME TAX LAWS WITH
REGARD TO AN INVESTMENT IN THE COMMON STOCK, INCLUDING ANY REPORTING
REQUIREMENTS.
 
  Distributions to Non-U.S. Shareholders that are not attributable to gain
from sales or exchanges by the Company of U.S. real property interests and are
not designated by the Company as capital gains dividends will be treated as
dividends of ordinary income to the extent that they are made out of current
or accumulated earnings and profits of the Company. Such distributions
ordinarily will be subject to a withholding tax equal to 30% of the gross
amount of the distribution unless an applicable tax treaty reduces or
eliminates that tax. However, if income from the investment in the Common
Stock is treated as effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Shareholder's
conduct of a U.S. trade or business, the Non-U.S. Shareholder generally will
be subject to federal income tax at graduated rates, in the same manner as
U.S. shareholders are taxed with respect to such distributions (and also may
be subject to the 30% branch profits tax in the case of a Non-U.S. Shareholder
that is a non-U.S. corporation). The Company expects to withhold U.S. income
tax at the rate of 30% on the gross amount of any such distributions made to a
Non-U.S. Shareholder unless (i) a lower treaty rate applies and any required
form evidencing eligibility for that reduced rate is filed with the Company or
(ii) the Non-U.S. Shareholder files an IRS Form 4224 with the Company claiming
that the distribution is effectively connected income. The Service issued
proposed regulations in April 1996 that would modify the manner in which the
Company complies with the withholding requirement.
   
  Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits of
the Company will not be taxable to a shareholder to the extent that such
distributions do not exceed the adjusted basis of the shareholder's Common
Stock, but rather will reduce the adjusted basis of such stock. To the extent
that such distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and
profits exceed the adjusted basis of a Non-U.S. Shareholder's shares of Common
Stock, such distributions will give rise to tax liability if the Non-U.S.
Shareholder would otherwise be subject to tax on any gain from the sale or
disposition of his shares of Common Stock, as described below. Because it
generally cannot be determined at the time a distribution is made whether or
not such distribution will be in excess of current and accumulated earnings
and profits, the entire amount of any     
 
                                      114
<PAGE>
 
distribution normally will be subject to withholding at the same rate as a
dividend. However, a Non-U.S. Shareholder can file a claim for refund with the
Service for the overwithheld amount to the extent it is determined
subsequently that a distribution was, in fact, in excess of current and
accumulated earnings and profits of the Company.
 
  For any year in which the Company qualifies as a REIT, distributions that
are attributable to gain from sales or exchanges by the Company of U.S. real
property interests will be taxed to a Non-U.S. Shareholder under the
provisions of the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980
("FIRPTA"). Under FIRPTA, distributions attributable to gain from sales of
U.S. real property interests are taxed to a Non-U.S. Shareholder as if such
gain were effectively connected with a U.S. business. Non-U.S. Shareholders
thus would be taxed at the normal capital gain rates applicable to U.S.
shareholders (subject to applicable alternative minimum tax and a special
alternative minimum tax in the case of nonresident alien individuals).
Distributions subject to FIRPTA also may be subject to a 30% branch profits
tax in the hands of a non-U.S. corporate shareholder not entitled to treaty
relief or exemption. The Company is required to withhold 35% of any
distribution that is designated by the Company as a capital gains dividend.
The amount withheld is creditable against the Non-U.S. Shareholder's FIRPTA
tax liability.
 
  Gain recognized by a Non-U.S. Shareholder upon a sale of his shares of
Common Stock generally will not be taxed under FIRPTA if the Company is a
"domestically controlled REIT," defined generally as a REIT in which at all
times during a specified testing period less than 50% in value of the stock
was held directly or indirectly by non-U.S. persons. The Company believes that
it is a "domestically controlled REIT," and, therefore, sales of shares of
Common Stock are not subject to taxation under FIRPTA. However, because the
shares of Common Stock are traded publicly, no complete assurance can be given
that the Company is actually a "domestically controlled REIT" and no assurance
can be given that the Company will continue to be a "domestically controlled
REIT." Furthermore, gain not subject to FIRPTA will be taxable to a Non-U.S.
Shareholder if (i) investment in the Common Stock is effectively connected
with the Non-U.S. Shareholder's U.S. trade or business, in which case the Non-
U.S. Shareholder will be subject to the same treatment as U.S. shareholders
with respect to such gain, or (ii) the Non-U.S. Shareholder is a nonresident
alien individual who was present in the United States for 183 days or more
during the taxable year and certain other conditions apply, in which case the
nonresident alien individual will be subject to a 30% tax on the individual's
capital gains. If the gain on the sale of Common Stock were to be subject to
taxation under FIRPTA, the Non-U.S. Shareholder will be subject to the same
treatment as U.S. shareholders with respect to such gain (subject to
applicable alternative minimum tax, a special alternative minimum tax in the
case of nonresident alien individuals, and the possible application of the 30%
branch profits tax in the case of non-U.S. corporations).
   
  NON-U.S. SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT LEGISLATIVE PROPOSALS HAVE BEEN
MADE THAT WOULD HAVE SUBJECTED NON-U.S. PERSONS TO U.S. TAX IN CERTAIN
CIRCUMSTANCES ON THEIR GAINS FROM THE SALE OF STOCK IN U.S. CORPORATIONS.
THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT A SIMILAR PROPOSAL WILL NOT BE ENACTED INTO LAW
IN A FORM DETRIMENTAL TO FOREIGN HOLDERS OF THE COMMON STOCK.     
 
STATE AND LOCAL TAXES
 
  The Company, PAH GP, PAH LP, the Operating Partnership, a Subsidiary
Partnership or the Company's shareholders may be subject to state and local
tax in various states and localities, including those states and localities in
which it or they transact business, own property, or reside. The state tax
treatment of the Company and the shareholders in such jurisdictions may differ
from the federal income tax treatment described above.
Consequently, prospective shareholders should consult their own tax advisors
regarding the effect of state and local tax laws upon and investment in the
Common Stock.
   
  In particular, the State of Texas imposes a franchise tax upon corporations
that do business in Texas. The Company is organized as a Virginia corporation
and has an office in the State of Texas. PAH LP is organized as     
 
                                      115
<PAGE>
 
a Virginia corporation and has no contacts with the State of Texas other than
ownership of its limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership.
The Operating Partnership is registered in the State of Texas as a foreign
limited partnership qualified to transact business in Texas.
   
  The Texas franchise tax is imposed on a corporation doing business in Texas
with respect to the corporation's "taxable capital" (generally, financial
accounting net worth, with certain adjustments) and its "taxable earned
surplus" (generally, a corporation's federal taxable income, with certain
adjustments) apportioned to the State of Texas. The franchise tax on "net
taxable capital" ("taxable capital" apportioned to Texas) is imposed at the
rate of 0.25% of a corporation's net taxable capital. The franchise tax rate
on "net taxable earned surplus" ("taxable earned surplus" apportioned to
Texas) is 4.5%. The Texas franchise tax is generally equal to the greater of
the tax on "net taxable capital" and the tax on "net taxable earned surplus."
The Texas franchise tax is not applied on a consolidated group basis. Any
Texas franchise tax that the Company, PAH GP or PAH LP is required to pay will
reduce the Cash Available for Distribution by the Company to its shareholders.
    
  A corporation's "taxable capital" and "taxable earned surplus" are
apportioned to Texas based on a fraction, the numerator of which is the
corporation's gross receipts from business done in Texas, and the denominator
of which is the corporation's gross receipts from its entire business. For
purposes of determining the source of gross receipts, dividends and interest
received by a corporation are generally allocated to the domicile of the
debtor or payor. Thus, interest and dividends received by a corporation from
another corporation will not be treated as gross receipts from business done
in Texas unless the payor is incorporated in Texas (although dividends
received from another member of a consolidated group are not taken into
account as a gross receipt or earned surplus for purposes of computing the
franchise tax on net taxable earned surplus). Distributions received from a
partnership by a corporation that is a partner in the partnership will be
included in a corporation's gross receipts for purposes of apportioning the
corporation's "taxable capital" and "taxable earned surplus" to Texas. For
calculating the tax on net taxable capital, receipts reflecting the
corporation's share of net profits from a partnership are apportioned to Texas
if the partnership's principal place of business (the location of its day-to-
day operations) is in Texas; however, if the corporation's share of the gross
receipts from the partnership is treated as revenue of the corporation under
generally accepted accounting principles, then the receipts of the partnership
are apportioned based on normal apportionment rules as if the receipts were
received directly by the corporation. This method is not allowed for
corporations using the federal income tax method. For purposes of the tax on
net earned surplus, receipts are apportioned as though the corporation
directly received the payment.
 
  The office of the Texas State Comptroller of Public Accounts (the
"Comptroller"), the agency that administers the Texas franchise tax, has
issued a regulation providing that a corporation is not considered to be doing
business in Texas for Texas franchise tax purposes merely because the
corporation owns an interest as a limited partner in a limited partnership
that does business in Texas. The same regulation provides, however, that a
corporation is considered to be doing business in Texas if it owns an interest
as a general partner in a partnership that does business in Texas. This
regulation applies only for purposes of the net taxable capital component of
the Texas franchise tax. The Comptroller has not issued a similar regulation
with regard to the net taxable earned surplus component. The Comptroller also
has expressed informally its view that a corporation is not considered to be
doing business in Texas for Texas franchise tax purposes merely because the
corporation owns stock in another corporation that does business in Texas.
 
  In accordance with these pronouncements by the Comptroller, PAH GP is
treated as doing business in Texas because it is the general partner of the
Operating Partnership and the Operating Partnership does business in Texas.
Accordingly, PAH GP is subject to the Texas franchise tax. The Company is
treated as doing business in Texas because it has an office in Texas.
Accordingly, the Company is subject to the Texas franchise tax. However, the
Company's only source of gross receipts for Texas franchise tax purposes is
dividends from its two wholly-owned Virginia subsidiaries, PAH GP and PAH LP.
Since dividends are sourced to the state of domicile of the distributing
corporation for gross receipts apportionment purposes (or are eliminated for
purposes of apportioning taxable earned surplus since they would be paid by an
affiliate) the Company does not anticipate that any significant portion of its
"taxable capital" or "taxable earned surplus" will be apportioned to Texas.
 
                                      116
<PAGE>
 
As a result, the Company's Texas franchise tax liability should not be
substantial. Further, based on the pronouncements by the Comptroller, PAH LP
will not be treated as doing business in Texas merely as a result of its
status as a limited partner of the Operating Partnership. As long as PAH LP is
not otherwise doing business in Texas, PAH LP will not be subject to the Texas
franchise tax.
   
  There can be no assurance that the Comptroller will agree that PAH LP is not
doing business in Texas for Texas franchise tax purposes. First, the
Comptroller could revoke the pronouncements described above and contend that
the activities of PAH LP constitute the doing of business in Texas. Second, it
is not clear whether the Comptroller considers these pronouncements equally
applicable to tax on net taxable earned surplus. Third, the Comptroller could
contend that (i) some activity of PAH LP other than its ownership of a limited
partnership interest in the Operating Partnership will constitute the doing of
business in Texas, despite the avoidance of contacts with the State of Texas,
or (ii) in light of the overall structure of the Company, PAH LP and PAH GP,
the pronouncements otherwise are inapplicable.     
   
  The Operating Partnership and the Subsidiary Partnerships are not subject to
the Texas franchise tax under the laws in existence at the time of this
Prospectus. There can be no assurance, however, that the Texas legislature,
which will not meet again in regular session until 1997, will not in the
future expand the scope of the Texas franchise tax to apply to limited
partnerships such as the Operating Partnership or a Subsidiary Partnership.
    
  Gardere & Wynne, L.L.P., special tax counsel to the Company ("Special Tax
Counsel"), has reviewed the discussion in this section with respect to Texas
franchise tax matters and is of the opinion that it accurately summarizes the
Texas franchise tax matters expressly described herein. Special Tax Counsel
expresses no opinion on any other tax considerations affecting the company or
a holder of Common Stock, including, but not limited to, other Texas franchise
tax matters not specifically discussed above.
 
TAX ASPECTS OF THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP AND THE SUBSIDIARY PARTNERSHIPS
 
  The following discussion summarizes certain federal income tax
considerations applicable to the Company's direct or indirect investment in
the Operating Partnership and the Subsidiary Partnerships (each of the
Operating Partnership and the Subsidiary Partnerships is referred to herein as
a "Hotel Partnership"). The discussion does not cover state or local tax laws
or any federal tax laws other than income tax laws.
 
 Classification as a Partnership
   
  The Company is entitled to include in its income its distributive share of
each Hotel Partnership's income and to deduct its distributive share of each
Hotel Partnership's losses only if each Hotel Partnership is classified for
federal income tax purposes as a partnership rather than as an association
taxable as a corporation. An organization formed as a partnership will be
treated as a partnership, rather than as a corporation, for federal income tax
purposes if it (i) has no more than two of the four corporate characteristics
that the Treasury Regulations use to distinguish a partnership from a
corporation for tax purposes and (ii) is not a "publicly traded" partnership.
Those four characteristics are continuity of life, centralization of
management, limited liability, and free transferability of interests. A
publicly traded partnership is a partnership whose interests are traded on an
established securities market or are readily tradable on a secondary market
(or the substantial equivalent thereof). A publicly traded partnership will
not be taxed as a corporation, however, if 90% or more of its gross income
consists of "qualifying income" under Section 7704(d) of the Code which
generally includes any income that is qualifying income for purposes of the
REIT 95% gross income test (including rents from real property).     
 
  In 1988, the Service issued a notice ("Notice 88-75") providing limited safe
harbors from the definition of a publicly traded partnership in advance of the
issuance of Treasury Regulations. Pursuant to one of those safe harbors (the
"Private Placement Exclusion"), interests in a partnership are not treated as
readily tradable on a secondary market or the substantial equivalent thereof
if (i) all of the partnership interests are issued in a transaction that is
not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and (ii) the
partnership does not
have more than 500 partners (taking into account as a partner each person who
indirectly owns an interest in the partnership through a partnership, grantor
trust, or S corporation). Upon the closing of the Initial Offering, each Hotel
Partnership satisfied the Private Placement Exclusion.
 
                                      117
<PAGE>
 
   
  The U.S. Department of the Treasury recently issued final regulations (the
"PTP Regulations") that significantly modified the Private Placement
Exclusion. Under the PTP Regulations, the Private Placement Exclusion does not
apply if the partnership has more than 100 partners at any time during its
taxable year (taking into account as a partner each person who indirectly owns
an interest in the partnership through a partnership, grantor trust, or S
corporation, but only if (i) substantially all of the value of the indirect
owner's interest in the intermediate entity is attributable to the
intermediate entity's interest in the partnership and (ii) a principal purpose
of the tiered arrangement is to permit the partnership to satisfy the 100
partner limitation). According to their terms, the PTP Regulations will not
apply to partnerships operating before December 4, 1995 until the earlier of
January 1, 2006 or the date on which the partnership adds a "substantial new
line of business." Until that time, existing partnerships may rely on the
terms of Notice 88-75. Nonetheless, the Company believes that the Hotel
Partnerships have satisfied and currently satisfy the requirements of the
Private Placement Exclusion under both the terms of Notice 88-75 and the PTP
regulations, and will continue to do so. In any event, the Company believes
that even if any of the Hotel Partnerships were treated as a publicly traded
partnership, no Hotel Partnership will be taxed as a corporation because more
than 90% of the income for each Hotel Partnership should be qualifying income
under section 7704(d) of the Code.     
       
  If for any reason one of the Hotel Partnerships were taxable as a
corporation, rather than as a partnership, for federal income tax purposes,
the Company would not be able to satisfy the income and asset requirements for
REIT status. See "Federal Income Tax Considerations-Requirements for
Qualification-Income Tests" and "--Requirements for Qualification--Asset
Tests." In addition, any change in a Hotel Partnership's status for tax
purposes might be treated as a taxable event, in which case the Company might
incur a tax liability without any related cash distribution. See "Federal
Income Tax Considerations--Requirements for Qualification--Distribution
Requirements." Further, items of income and deduction of such Hotel
Partnership would not pass through to its partners, and its partners would be
treated as stockholders for tax purposes. Consequently, such Hotel Partnership
would be required to pay income tax at corporate tax rates on its net income,
and distributions to its partners would constitute dividends that would not be
deductible in computing such Hotel Partnership's taxable income.
 
 Income Taxation of Each Hotel Partnership and its Partners
 
  Partners, Not the Hotel Partnerships, Subject to Tax. A partnership is not a
taxable entity for federal income tax purposes. Rather, the Company is
required to take into account its allocable share of each Hotel Partnership's
income, gains, losses, deductions, and credits for any taxable year of such
Hotel Partnership ending within or with the taxable year of the Company,
without regard to whether the Company has received or will receive any
distribution from such Hotel Partnership.
       
       
  Tax Allocations With Respect to Contributed Properties. Pursuant to section
704(c) of the Code, income, gain, loss, and deduction attributable to
appreciated or depreciated property that is contributed to a partnership in
exchange for an interest in the partnership must be allocated for federal
income tax purposes in a manner such that the contributor is charged with, or
benefits from, the unrealized gain or unrealized loss associated with the
property at the time of the contribution. The amount of such unrealized gain
or unrealized loss is generally equal to the difference between the fair
market value of the contributed property at the time of contribution and the
adjusted tax basis of such property at the time of contribution. The
Department of the Treasury recently issued regulations requiring partnerships
to use a "reasonable method" for allocating items affected by section 704(c)
of the Code and outlining several reasonable allocation methods.
 
  Under the partnership agreement for each Hotel Partnership (each a "Hotel
Partnership Agreement"), depreciation or amortization deductions of the Hotel
Partnership generally will be allocated among the partners in accordance with
their respective interests in the Hotel Partnership, except to the extent that
the Hotel Partnership is required under Code section 704(c) to use a method
for allocating tax depreciation deductions attributable to the Initial Hotels
or other contributed properties that results in the Company receiving a
disproportionately large share of such deductions. In addition, gain on sale
of an Initial Hotel or of a Hotel purchased by a Hotel Partnership, in whole
or in part with interests in the Hotel Partnership will be specially
 
                                      118
<PAGE>
 
   
allocated to the Limited Partners who sold the Hotel to the extent of any
"built-in" gain with respect to such Hotel for federal income tax purposes.
Depending on the allocation method elected under Code section 704(c), it is
possible that the Company (i) may be allocated lower amounts of depreciation
deductions for tax purposes with respect to contributed Hotels than would be
allocated to the Company if such Hotels were to have a tax basis equal to
their fair market value at the time of contribution and (ii) may be allocated
taxable gain in the event of a sale of such Hotels in excess of the economic
profit allocated to the Company as a result of such sale. These allocations
possibly could cause the Company to recognize taxable income in excess of cash
proceeds, which might adversely affect the Company's ability to comply with
the REIT distribution requirements, although the Company does not anticipate
that this event will occur. The Board of Directors has adopted a policy that
any decision to sell a Hotel purchased from an affiliate of Patriot American
will be made by a majority of the Independent Directors. See "Risk Factors--
Conflicts of Interest--Sale of Hotels."     
          
PAH RAVINIA     
   
  The Operating Partnership owns directly 100% of the nonvoting stock of PAH
Ravinia, and the Operating Partnership owns indirectly 4% of the voting common
stock of PAH Ravinia. Such stock represents in the aggregate a 99.04% economic
interest in PAH Ravinia. The Operating Partnership also holds a $36 million
first mortgage note on the Crowne Plaza Ravinia and $4.5 million second
mortgage note on such hotel. By virtue of its ownership of OP Units, the
Company is considered to own its pro rata share of such stock and mortgage
notes.     
   
  As noted above, for the Company to qualify as a REIT the Company's pro rata
share of the value of the equity and unsecured debt securities of PAH Ravinia
held by the Operating Partnership may not exceed 5% of the total value of the
Company's assets. In addition, the Company may not own more than 10% of the
voting securities of PAH Ravinia. The Company does not own 10% of the voting
securities of PAH Ravinia. In addition, the Company believes its pro rata
share of the value of the equity securities of PAH Ravinia does not exceed 5%
of the total value of the Company's assets. The Company also believes that the
two mortgage notes on the Crowne Plaza Ravinia held by the Operating
Partnership (i) are properly treated as debt for tax purposes and (ii) are
secured by sufficient real property to qualify as "real estate assets" exempt
from the 5% limitation. If the Service were to successfully challenge these
determinations, however, the Company likely would fail to qualify as a REIT.
       
  PAH Ravinia will not qualify as a REIT and will pay federal, state and local
income taxes on its taxable income at normal corporate rates. Any such taxes
will reduce amounts available for distribution by PAH Ravinia, which in turn
will reduce amounts available for distribution to the Company's stockholders.

  The Representatives have advised the Company that they propose to offer the
Common Stock to the public at the Offering price set forth on the cover page
of this Prospectus and to certain dealers at such price less a concession not
in excess of $   per share of Common Stock. The Underwriters may allow, and
such dealers may re-allow, a discount not in excess of $   per share of Common
Stock on sales to certain other brokers and dealers. After the Offering, the
Offering price, concession and discount may be changed.
   
  The Company has granted to the Underwriters an option, exercisable for 30
days after the date of this Prospectus, to purchase up to 750,000 additional
shares of Common Stock to cover over-allotments, if any, at the Offering
price, less the underwriting discount set forth on the cover page of this
Prospectus. If the Underwriters exercise this option, each of the Underwriters
will have a firm commitment, subject to certain conditions, to purchase
approximately the same percentage thereof which the number of shares of Common
Stock to be purchased by it shown in the foregoing table bears to the Common
Stock initially offered hereby.     
 
  The Common Stock has not been qualified for sale under the securities laws
of Canada or any province or territory of Canada. The Common Stock is not
being offered for sale and may not be sold, directly or indirectly, in Canada,
or to any resident thereof, except pursuant to exemptions for qualification
under applicable Canadian federal or provincial law. The Underwriters will not
offer the Common Stock in Canada or to any Canadian resident except pursuant
to an exemption from the requirement to file a prospectus in any province of
Canada of which such offer is made.
 
  In the Underwriting Agreement, the Company has agreed to indemnify the
Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the
Securities Act.
   
  The Company has agreed not to offer, sell, contract to sell, grant any
option to purchase or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock, or any
securities convertible into, or exercisable, exchangeable or redeemable for,
shares of Common Stock for a period of 90 days from the date hereof, without
the prior consent of PaineWebber Incorporated.     
 
  The Underwriters do not intend to confirm sales to any account over which
they exercise discretionary authority.
 
  The Common Stock is traded on the NYSE under the symbol "PAH." In order to
maintain the requirements for listing the shares of Common Stock on the NYSE,
the Underwriters have undertaken to sell lots of 100 or more shares of Common
Stock.

  In connection with the Initial Offering, the Company closed the Line of
Credit with Paine Webber Real Estate. In connection with the May, 1996
increase in the maximum amount available under the Line of Credit, the Company
paid Paine Webber Real Estate a fee in the amount of $350,000 and agreed to
pay Paine Webber Real Estate an additional fee in the amount of $500,000 at
such time as the principal amount outstanding under the Line of Credit exceeds
$200,000,000.     
   
  In connection with one of the Proposed Acquisitions, the Company is
negotiating with Paine Webber Real Estate to extend a single asset mortgage
loan of approximately $22 million on economic terms substantially similar to
the Line of Credit. If such a loan is extended, the Company will pay Paine
Webber Real Estate a fee in the amount of 1% of the principal amount of such
loan.

partnership including professional corporations. In addition, the description
of federal income tax consequences contained in the section of the Prospectus

    percentage was 13.7%. Subsequent to the Recent Acquisitions the minority
    percentage was 16.1%. Subsequent to the Private Placement the minority
    interest percentage was 18.4%. Subsequent to the Offering the minority

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
 
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Patriot American Hospitality,
 Inc.:
 
  We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Patriot
American Hospitality, Inc. as of December 31, 1995, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity, and cash flows
for the period October 2, 1995 (inception of operations) through December 31,
1995. Our audit also included the financial statement schedules listed in the
Index at Item 35(a). These consolidated financial statements and schedules are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements and schedules based on our
audit.
 
  We conducted our audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
 
  In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Patriot
American Hospitality, Inc. as of December 31, 1995, and the consolidated
results of its operations and its cash flows for the period October 2, 1995
(inception of operations) through December 31, 1995, in conformity with

                 (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)
  (AMOUNTS AND DISCLOSURES AS OF MARCH 31, 1996 AND FOR THE PERIOD THEN ENDED
                                ARE UNAUDITED)
 
1. ORGANIZATION:
 
  Patriot American Hospitality, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, the
"Company"), a Virginia corporation, was formed April 17, 1995 as a self-
administered real estate investment trust ("REIT") for the purpose of
acquiring equity interests in hotel properties. On October 2, 1995, the
Company completed an initial public offering (the "Initial Offering") of
14,605,000 shares of its common stock (including 1,905,000 shares of common
stock issued upon exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option) and
commenced operations. The offering price of all shares sold was $24.00 per
share, resulting in net proceeds (less the underwriters' discount and Initial
Offering expenses) of approximately $313,170.
 
  Upon completion of the Initial Offering, the Company, through its wholly-
owned subsidiary, PAH LP, Inc., contributed substantially all of the net
proceeds of the Initial Offering to Patriot American Hospitality Partnership,
L.P. (the "Operating Partnership") in exchange for an approximately 85.3%
limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. The Company,
through its wholly-owned subsidiary, PAH GP, Inc., is the sole general partner
and the holder of a 1.0% general partnership interest in the Operating
Partnership.
 
  The Operating Partnership used approximately $263,600 of the net proceeds of
the Initial Offering to acquire ownership interests in 20 hotels (the "Initial
Hotels") from various entities (the "Selling Entities") and to repay existing
mortgage and other indebtedness of the Initial Hotels. The remaining Initial
Offering proceeds were used to finance acquisitions of two additional hotel
investments, provide for renovations to existing hotels and for general
working capital. In consideration for the sale of the Initial Hotels, certain
owners in the Selling Entities, including affiliates of the Company, elected
to receive limited partnership units in the Operating Partnership. The
2,324,312 limited partnership units in the Operating Partnership ("OP units")
received by such owners represented an approximate 13.7% equity interest in
the Operating Partnership.
 
  During the first quarter of 1996, the Company acquired three additional
hotel properties, utilizing approximately $32,500 in cash drawn on its Line of
Credit and issuing 167,012 OP Units in connection with the purchases. At March
31, 1996, the Operating Partnership owned interests in 25 hotels and the
Company owned an approximate 85.5% interest in the Operating Partnership.
 
  The Company leases each of its hotels, except the Crowne Plaza Ravinia
Hotel, which is owned through a special purpose corporation, to lessees that
are independent of the Company. The Company leases 23 of its hotel investments
to CHC Lease Partners for staggered terms of ten to twelve years pursuant to
separate participating leases providing for the payment of the greater of base
rent or participating rent, plus certain additional charges as applicable (the
"Participating Leases"). One of the Company's hotels is leased under a similar
Participating Lease agreement to Metro Lease Partners, Inc. ("Metro Lease
Partners" and collectively with CHC Lease Partners, the "Lessees"). The Crowne
Plaza Ravinia Hotel acquisition was structured without a lessee.
 
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
 Principles of Consolidation
 
  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company,
its wholly-owned subsidiaries, PAH GP, Inc. and PAH LP, Inc., and the
Operating Partnership. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions
have been eliminated.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
                   (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE)
 Investment in Hotel Properties
 
  The hotel properties are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the
straight-line method based upon estimated useful lives of the assets of 35
years for the buildings and improvements and 5 to 7 years for furniture,
fixtures and equipment.
 
  The acquisition of affiliated interests in the Initial Hotels has been
recorded at predecessor cost. Cash payments to acquire the interests of
predecessor owners who are deemed to be affiliates of the Company have been
reflected as a reduction of shareholders' equity in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.
 
  In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121,
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets
to be Disposed Of, the Company would record impairment losses on long-lived
assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the
assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be
generated by those assets are less than the carrying amounts of those assets.
No such impairment losses have been recognized to date.
 
  Repairs and maintenance of hotel properties owned by the Company are paid by
the Lessees. Major renewals and betterments are capitalized.
 
 Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
  All highly liquid investments with an original maturity date of three months
or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents.
 
 Investment in Unconsolidated Subsidiary
 
  The Company's investment in PAH Ravinia, Inc. ("PAH Ravinia"), the entity
which owns the Crowne Plaza Ravinia Hotel, is accounted for using the equity
method of accounting. The Company owns an approximately 99% non-voting
interest. The voting interests are owned by a partnership in which the Company
has a 4% interest. The Company's share of the net income of PAH Ravinia is
included in the Company's consolidated statements of operations.
 
 Inventory
 
  Inventory consists of food, beverages, china, linen, glassware and
silverware and is stated at cost (see Note 6).
 
 Deferred Expenses
 
  Deferred expenses consist of organization costs, franchise fees, leasing
costs, and loan costs. Amortization of organization costs is computed using
the straight-line method over five years. Franchise costs are amortized using
the straight-line method over the terms of the related franchise agreements.
Leasing costs are amortized to participating lease revenue over the lives of
the leases. Loan costs related to the Company's line of credit are amortized
to interest expense on a straight-line basis over the three-year term of the
loan.
 
 Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets
 
  Prepaid expenses and other assets consist of prepaid insurance, property
taxes and deposits and pre-acquisition costs associated with hotels under
purchase consideration. Other assets includes a promissory note receivable
from Metro Lease Partners related to its initial capitalization. Monthly
payments of interest only at a rate of 10% per annum are due until maturity on
November 15, 1998. The balance of the note receivable was $101 at December 31,
1995, and $51 at March 31, 1996.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
                   (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE)
 
 Revenue Recognition
 
  The Operating Partnership leases its hotel properties to the Lessees
pursuant to separate Participating Leases. Lease income is recognized when
earned from the Lessees under the Participating Leases.
 
 Earnings per Share
 
  Earnings per share is computed based upon the weighted average number of
shares of common stock and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding
during the period presented. The per share computations include options to
purchase common stock which were outstanding during the period. The number of
shares outstanding related to the options has been calculated by application
of the "treasury stock" method.
 
 Dividends
 
  The Company intends to pay regular quarterly dividends in order to maintain
its REIT status under the Internal Revenue Code. Payment of such dividends is
dependent upon receipt of distributions from the Operating Partnership.
 
 Stock Compensation
 
  The Financial Accounting Standards Board recently issued Statement 123,
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. This Statement, which is effective
beginning in 1996, provides the alternative of adopting Statement 123 or
remaining under the existing requirements of APB 25. The Company has elected
to continue to account for its stock compensation arrangements under the
provisions of APB 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.
 
 Income Taxes
 
  The Company intends to qualify to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856
through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code effective with its taxable period
ended December 31, 1995. Under the Internal Revenue Code, if certain
requirements are met in a taxable year, a corporation that is treated as a
REIT will generally not be subject to federal income tax with respect to
income which it distributes to its shareholders. The Company has declared
dividends in excess of its taxable income for 1995, and such dividends were
paid in January 1996. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been
reflected in the 1995 consolidated statement of operations. For federal income
tax purposes, 1995 dividends amounted to $0.48 per share, of which 26% is
considered a return of capital.
 
  Earnings and profits which determine the taxability of dividends to
shareholders, differ from net income reported for financial reporting purposes
due to differences for federal tax purposes in the estimated useful lives used
to compute depreciation and the carrying value (basis) of the investment in
hotel properties. Additionally, certain costs associated with the Initial
Offering are treated differently for federal tax purposes than for financial
reporting purposes.
 
 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 amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
 Concentrations
 
  The Company invests exclusively in hotel properties. The hotel industry is
highly competitive and the Company's hotel investments are subject to
competition from other hotels for guests. Each of the Company's
 
                                     F-18

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
                 (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)

hotels competes for guests primarily with other similar hotels in its
immediate vicinity and other similar hotels in its geographic market. The
Company believes that brand recognition, location, the quality of the hotel
and services provided, and price are the principal competitive factors
affecting its hotel investments.
 
  In 1995, the Company earned rents under the Participating Leases of $10,582,
(net of leasing cost amortization of $23), of which all but $150 was earned
from the Participating Leases with CHC Lease Partners. In addition, 94% of
future minimum rent amounts due under leases outstanding at December 31, 1995
relate to the Participating Leases with CHC Lease Partners. The Company must
rely on the Lessees to generate sufficient cash flow from operation of the
hotels to enable the Lessees to meet rent obligations under the Participating
Leases.
 
  At December 31, 1995, the Company had cash balances with banks in excess of
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's insured limits totaling $4,666.
 
 Seasonality
 
  The hotel industry is seasonal in nature. Revenues at certain of the Hotels
are greater in the first and second quarters of a calendar year and at other
of the Hotels in the second and third quarters of a calendar year. Seasonal
variations in revenues at the Company's hotels may cause quarterly
fluctuations in the Company's lease revenues.
 
 Interim Unaudited Financial Information
 
  The consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for
the three-month period ended March 31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of
the results that may be expected for a full year.
 
 Reclassifications
 
  Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year
presentation.
 
3. INVESTMENT IN HOTEL PROPERTIES:
 
  On October 2, 1995, the Company, through the Operating Partnership, used
approximately $263,600 of the net proceeds of the Initial Offering and $47,685
in OP Units (including $38,322 in OP units paid to affiliates) to acquire the
20 Initial Hotels (including certain working capital assets) and repay
existing mortgage and other indebtedness of the Initial Hotels. In connection
with the assumption and repayment of mortgage indebtedness on certain of these
properties, the Company assumed $680 in unamortized deferred financing costs
which were written off upon repayment of the debt, and paid $174 in mortgage
prepayment penalties. These amounts have been reported as extraordinary items
in the accompanying financial statements for the period ended December 31,
1995. At December 31, 1995 and March 31, 1996, the Company has aggregate
receivables of $1,765 and $1,489, respectively, from the Selling Entities
which represents amounts due to the Company relating to the final proration of
current assets acquired in connection with the acquisition of the Initial
Hotels.
 
  On November 15, 1995, the Company, through the Operating Partnership,
completed the acquisition of the Embassy Suites Hotel in Hunt Valley, Maryland
for cash (including closing costs) of approximately $15,951. The purchase was
funded with a portion of the remaining net proceeds from the Company's Initial
Offering.
 
  On January 16, 1996, the Company acquired the 288-room Tremont House Hotel
in Boston, Massachusetts for a purchase price (including closing costs) of
approximately $16,397. The purchase was financed primarily

  On March 4, 1996, the Company acquired the 297-room Holiday Inn Lenox in
Atlanta, Georgia for approximately $7,279 in cash plus 167,012 OP Units
(valued at approximately $4,000 based upon the market price of the Company's
common stock on the date of contract). The hotel is subject to a 73-year
ground lease. The cash portion of the purchase price was financed with funds
drawn on the Line of Credit. The hotel is leased to CHC Lease Partners for a
period of 12 years pursuant to a Participating Lease.
 
  On March 27, 1996, the Company also acquired the 245-room Del Mar Hilton
Hotel in San Diego, California for a purchase price (including closing costs)
of approximately $14,872. The purchase was financed primarily with funds drawn
on the Line of Credit. The hotel is leased to CHC Lease Partners for a period
of 11 years pursuant to a Participating Lease.
 
  As of December 31, 1995, the Company, through the Operating Partnership,
owned 21 hotel properties aggregating 4,429 guest rooms. As of March 31, 1996,
the Company, through the Operating Partnership, owns 24 hotel properties

4. INVESTMENT IN AND MORTGAGE NOTES RECEIVABLE FROM UNCONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARY:
 
  On December 1, 1995, the Company, through the Operating Partnership,
acquired an approximate 99% ownership interest in PAH Ravinia, a Virginia
corporation, for $4,458. PAH Ravinia acquired the 495-room Crowne Plaza
Ravinia Hotel in Atlanta, Georgia (the "Crowne Plaza Ravinia").

Ravinia, which is evidenced by two mortgage notes consisting of a $36,000
first mortgage note and a $4,500 second mortgage note. The principal amount of
both notes is due and payable on November 28, 1998. Interest at an annual rate
equal to 10.25% and 12.5% on the first and second mortgage notes,
respectively, is due and payable monthly. All amounts owing under the mortgage
notes will become due and payable upon a sale of the hotel to a third party
purchaser. The mortgage notes are collateralized by deeds of trust on the
Crowne Plaza Ravinia.

    $156 in 1995 and $1,362 in 1996 after elimination of interest expense
    related to the mortgage notes payable to the Company.
 
5. LINE OF CREDIT:
 
  The Operating Partnership has obtained a revolving credit facility of up to
$165,000 (the "Line of Credit") to fund the acquisition of additional hotels,
renovations and capital improvements to hotels and for general working capital
purposes. The Line of Credit is collateralized by a first mortgage lien on
certain of the hotels. As of December 31, 1995 and March 31, 1996, the Company
had $9,500 and $50,250, respectively, outstanding on its Line of Credit.
Additional hotels, including subsequent acquisitions, may be required to be
pledged in order to increase availability under the Line of Credit to the
maximum of $165,000. The Line of Credit, which expires October 1, 1998,
generally bears interest on the outstanding balance at a rate equal to the 30-
day LIBOR rate, plus 1.90%. LIBOR was 5.69% at December 31, 1995 and 5.31% at
March 31, 1996. The weighted average interest rate incurred by the Company
during 1995 and 1996 under this borrowing was 7.71% and 7.40%, respectively.
 
  The agreement requires the Company to maintain certain financial ratios with
respect to liquidity, loan to value and net worth and imposes certain
limitations on acquisitions. The Company is in compliance with such

covenants at December 31, 1995 and March 31, 1996. The unused commitment under
the Line of Credit at December 31, 1995 and March 31, 1996 is $155,500 and
$114,750, respectively, subject to certain restrictions and provisions of the
Line of Credit Agreement.
 
6. PARTICIPATING LEASES:
 
  The Company has leased the hotels under the Participating Leases to the
Lessees through 2007. Minimum future rental income under these noncancelable
operating leases as of December 31, 1995 for the next five years and
thereafter is as follows:

                                                                      ========
</TABLE>
 
  The Participating Leases obligate the Company to establish a reserve for
capital improvements and the replacement and refurbishment of furniture,
fixtures and equipment. The Company and the Lessees agree on the use of funds
in these reserves, and the Company has the right to approve the Lessees'
annual and long-term capital expenditures budgets. The amount of such reserves
are to average 4.0% of total revenues for the hotels. At December 31, 1995 and
March 31, 1996, $1,091 and $1,806, respectively, of cash is reserved for
capital improvements, net of capital improvements made to date.
 
  The Company is responsible for payment of (i) real estate and personal
property taxes on its hotel investments (except to the extent that personal
property associated with the hotels is owned by the Lessees), (ii) casualty
insurance on the hotels and (iii) business interruption insurance on the
hotels. The Lessees are required to pay for all liability insurance on the
Company's hotels, with extended coverage, including comprehensive general
public liability, workers' compensation and other insurance appropriate and
customary for properties similar to the Company's hotels with the Company as
an additional named insured.
 
  Upon acquisition of the Initial Hotels, the Company acquired the hotel
inventories with an estimated fair value of $2,035, which were transferred to
CHC Lease Partners for its use in the operation of the hotels. Under the
Participating Leases. CHC Lease Partners is obligated to return an equivalent
inventory to the Company at the end of the respective lease terms, less
$1,000. The $1,000, which represents a lease inducement, has been recorded as
a reduction in inventory and an increase in deferred expenses and is being
amortized to Participating Lease revenue over the lives of the leases. In
connection with the acquisition of three hotels during 1996, the Company
transferred additional inventory to CHC Lease Partners.
 
7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
 
 Office Lease
 
  The Company has entered into an agreement with an affiliate to provide the
Company with office space and limited support personnel for the Company's
headquarters for an annual fee of approximately $100. The term of the
agreement is through February 1999.

                 (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)
 
 Employment Agreements
 
  At December 31, 1995, the Company has entered into employment agreements
with each of Messrs. Nussbaum, Lattin and Stewart, three of the Executive
Officers of the Company, for a term of three years. The agreements provide for
annual base compensation with any increases approved by the Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors. Upon termination of employment other than
for cause, the employment agreements provide for severance benefits in an
amount to be determined by the Compensation Committee.
 
 Contingencies
 
  The Company currently is not subject to any material legal proceedings or
claims nor, to management's knowledge, are any material legal proceedings or
claims currently threatened.
 
8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
 
  As described in Note 4, the Company, through the Operating Partnership,
loaned $40,500 in the form of mortgage notes to PAH Ravinia as part of the
financing for PAH Ravinia's acquisition of the Crowne Plaza Ravinia. The
Company recognized $3 of interest income in 1995 and $11 of interest income
for the three months ended March 31, 1996 related to such mortgage notes
(excluding $351 and $1,064 of such interest eliminated for financial reporting
purposes in 1995 and 1996, respectively). Accrued interest on the mortgage
notes receivable and other receivables from PAH Ravinia at December 31, 1995
and March 31, 1996 was $264 and $366, respectively.
 
9. MINORITY INTEREST
 
  The Operating Partnership has 2,324,312 and 2,491,324 OP Units outstanding
as of December 31, 1995 and March 31, 1996, respectively (excluding OP Units
held by the Company). Pursuant to the Operating Partnership's limited
partnership agreement, the limited partners of the Operating Partnership,
including certain affiliates of the Company, received rights (the "Redemption
Rights") that enable them to cause the Operating Partnership to redeem each OP
Unit in exchange for cash equal to the value of a share of common stock (or,
at the Company's election, the Company may purchase each OP Unit offered for
redemption for one share of common stock). The Redemption Rights generally may
be exercised at any time after October 2, 1996. However, certain holders of OP
Units, including directors and officers of the Company, are restricted from
exercising their Redemption Rights for periods ranging from one to two years
after the closing of the Initial Offering. The OP Units issued in connection
with the acquisition of the Holiday Inn Lenox have similar restrictions on
transfer for one year from the date of issuance. The number of shares of
common stock issuable upon exercise of the Redemption Rights will be adjusted
for share splits, mergers, consolidations or similar pro rata transactions,
which would have the effect of diluting the ownership interests of the limited
partners of the Operating Partnership or the shareholders of the Company.
 
10. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY:
 
 Capital Stock
 
  The Company's board of directors has authorized the issuance of up to
20,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series. The number of
shares in each series and the designation, powers, preferences and rights of
each such series and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof
have not been established. As of March 31, 1996, no preferred stock was
issued.
 
  The Company was initially capitalized through the issuance of 1,425 shares
of no par value common stock to three of the Company's executive officers for
which the executive officers paid nominal consideration. In connection with
the Initial Offering, the Company declared an approximate 41-to-1 stock split
of its outstanding common shares, resulting in the issuance of an additional
57,950 shares of common stock to such executive officers. The aggregate value
of $1,425 (based upon the initial public offering price of $24.00 per share),
less

                 (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)

cash received of $3, has been recorded as unearned executive compensation and
was initially amortized over the five-year vesting period. In response to an
independent consultant review of executive compensation in March 1996, the
Board of Directors elected to accelerate the vesting period for the shares of
common stock held by three of the Company's executive officers. The vesting
period was reduced from five years to three years and the amortization period
of the unearned executive compensation was revised accordingly.
 
  In October 1995, the Company completed its Initial Offering of 14,605,000
shares. In December 1995, the Company also issued an aggregate 1,560 shares of
common stock to its non-employee directors in payment of one-half of their
annual retainer (as provided for in the directors' stock incentive plan
described in further detail below). As of December 31, 1995 and March 31,
1996, the Company has 14,665,935 shares of common stock outstanding.
 
  On December 20, 1995, the Company declared a $0.48 per common share dividend
to holders of record on December 29, 1995. Concurrent with the dividend
declaration, the Operating Partnership authorized distributions in the same
amount. The dividend and distributions were paid on January 30, 1996.
 
  On March 26, 1996, the Company declared a $0.48 per common share dividend to
holders of record on March 29, 1996. Concurrent with the dividend declaration,
the Operating Partnership authorized distributions in the same amount. The
dividend and distributions were paid on April 30, 1996.
 
 Stock Incentive Plans
 
  The Company has adopted the 1995 Incentive Plan (the "1995 Plan") and the
Non-Employee Directors' Incentive Plan (the "Directors' Plan") for the purpose
of (i) attracting and retaining employees, directors and others, (ii)
providing incentives to those deemed important to the success of the Company,
and (iii) associating the interests of these individuals with the interests of
the Company and its shareholders through opportunities for increased stock
ownership.
 
  The 1995 Plan. Under the 1995 Plan, employees of the Company are eligible to
receive stock options, stock awards or performance shares, subject to certain
restrictions. All awards under the 1995 Plan are determined by the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and a maximum of 1,000,000
shares of common stock may be issued under the 1995 Plan. Upon completion of
the Initial Offering, 500,000 options were granted to purchase shares of
common stock of the Company. Each option is exercisable at an amount equal to
the initial public offering price of $24.00 per share. Of the options granted,
27,780 vested immediately, while the remaining options become exercisable at
various dates through January 1, 2005. As of March 31, 1996, no options had
been exercised.
 
  The Directors' Plan. The Directors' Plan provides for the award of common
shares to each eligible non-employee director of the Company. Each eligible
director who was a member of the Board as of September 27, 1995, was awarded
nonqualified options to purchase 7,500 shares of common stock on that date
(each such director, a "Founding Director"). The options granted to Founding
Directors have an exercise price equal to the initial public offering price of
$24.00 and vested immediately. Each eligible director who was not a Founding
Director (a "Non-Founding Director") will receive nonqualified options to
purchase 7,500 shares of common stock upon their election to the Board. On the
date of each annual meeting of the Company's shareholders, beginning with the
shareholders' meeting in 1996, each non-employee director then in office will
receive an additional grant of nonqualified options to purchase 2,500 shares
of common stock, with the maximum aggregate number of shares subject to
options to be granted to each non-employee director being 17,500. The exercise
price of options under future grants will be 100% of the fair market value of
the common stock on the date of grant. The exercise price may be paid in cash,
cash equivalents acceptable to the Compensation Committee, common stock or a
combination thereof. Options granted under the Directors' Plan are exercisable
for ten years from the date of grant. As of March 31, 1996, no options had
been exercised.

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
                   (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE)
 
  The Directors' Plan also provides for the annual award of common stock to
each eligible director in payment of one-half of the annual retainer of $13
payable to each such director. The number of shares awarded will be determined
based upon the fair market value of the stock at the date of the grant. Such
shares vest immediately upon grant and are nonforfeitable. In 1995, 1,560
common shares with an aggregate value of $37 were granted to the Founding
Directors.
 
11. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
 
  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 requires disclosure
about the fair value for all financial instruments, whether or not recognized,
for financial statement purposes. Disclosure about fair value of financial
instruments is based on pertinent information available to management as of
December 31, 1995 and March 31, 1996. Considerable judgment is necessary to
interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. Accordingly, the
estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts which
could be realized on disposition of the financial instruments. The use of
different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a
material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
 
  Management estimates that the fair value of (i) accounts receivable,
accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate carrying value due to the
relatively short maturity of these instruments; (ii) the notes receivable
approximate carrying value based upon effective borrowing rates for issuance
of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities; and (iii) the borrowings
under the Line of Credit approximate carrying value as the Line of Credit
accrues interest at floating interest rates based on market.

13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:
 
 Hotel Properties Acquired
 
  On January 16, 1996, the Company acquired the 288-room Tremont House Hotel
in Boston, Massachusetts for a purchase price (including closing costs) of
approximately $16,397. The purchase was financed primarily with funds drawn on
the Line of Credit. The Tremont House Hotel is leased to CHC Lease Partners
for a period of 11 years pursuant to a Participating Lease.
 
  On March 4, 1996, the Company acquired the 297-room Holiday Inn Lenox in
Atlanta, Georgia for approximately $7,279 in cash, plus 167,012 OP Units
(valued at approximately $4,000 based upon the market price of the Company's
common stock on the date of contract). The hotel is subject to a 73-year
ground lease. The cash portion of the purchase price was financed with funds
drawn on the Line of Credit. The hotel is leased to CHC Lease Partners for a
period of 12 years pursuant to a Participating Lease. On March 27, 1996, the
Company acquired the 245-room Del Mar Hilton Hotel in San Diego, California
for a purchase price (including closing costs) of approximately $14,872. The
purchase was financed primarily with funds drawn on the Line of Credit. The
hotel is leased to CHC Lease Partners.
 
  In April 1996, the Company acquired a six-hotel portfolio with a total of
1,239 guest rooms located in Washington and California for an aggregate
purchase price of approximately $84,500, including a deferred purchase
obligation of $2,000. The purchase was funded with proceeds from the Company's
Line of Credit and the issuance of 331,577 OP Units (valued at approximately
$8,800 based on the market price of the Company's common stock on the date of
contract). These hotels are leased to NorthCoast L.L.C., a newly formed
Seattle-based hotel company.
 
 Line of Credit
 
  In April 1996, the maximum amount available under the Line of Credit was
increased from $165,000 to $250,000 and certain modifications were made
thereby increasing the Company's ability to borrow under the Line of Credit.
 
 Potential Acquisitions
 
  The Company has entered into non-binding purchase and sale agreements to
acquire the 365-room Hyatt Regency in Lexington, Kentucky for a purchase price
of approximately $14,000, the 492-room Bonaventure Hotel & Spa in Fort
Lauderdale, Florida for a purchase price of approximately $16,200 and the 362-
room Marriott WindWatch Hotel in Long Island, New York for a purchase price of
approximately $30,000. In addition, the Company has entered into a letter of
intent agreement to acquire a portfolio of five Wyndham and Wyndham Garden
hotels containing an aggregate 1,141 guest rooms for a purchase price of
approximately $96,000. The Wyndham hotel properties are located in the
Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, Detroit and Chicago metropolitan areas. The
acquisition of these or any other properties is subject to a number of
contingencies, including, among other things, the satisfactory completion of
the Company's due diligence investigation of the hotels, the negotiation of a
definitive acquisition agreement and obtaining financing and/or Line of Credit
lender approval, as applicable. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that
the acquisition of any of these properties will be consummated.
 
 Private Placement
 
  In May 1996, the Company sold an aggregate of approximately $40,000 of
securities to an institutional investor, who purchased the securities on
behalf of two owners. The securities consisted of 811,393 shares of common
stock sold at $26.95 per share and 662,391 Preferred OP Units (the "Preferred
OP Units") sold at $27.375 per unit. The common stock is of the same class as
the Company's existing common stock and is entitled to the same voting and
dividend rights as all outstanding common stock, subject to certain
restrictions on the resale of the stock. The Preferred OP Units are entitled
to quarterly distributions equal to 103% of the quarterly dividends paid on
the common stock. Generally, three years following issuance, the Preferred OP
Units may be converted into shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis,
subject to certain limitations. After 10 years, all outstanding Preferred OP
Units will be converted into common stock.

              REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
To the Partners of CHC Lease Partners:
 
In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheet and the related statements of
operations, partners' capital and of cash flows present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of CHC Lease Partners at December
31, 1995, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period
(inception) October 2, 1995 to December 31, 1995 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Partnership's management; our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We
conducted our audit of these statements in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards which 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, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audit provides a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
ORGANIZATION
 
  CHC Lease Partners, was formed as the initial lessee to lease and operate
certain hotels owned by Patriot American Hospitality Partnership, L.P. (the
"Operating Partnership"). Patriot American Hospitality, Inc. (the "Company"),
through its subsidiaries, owns approximately 86.3% of the Operating
Partnership at December 31, 1995 and 85.5% at March 31, 1996. CHC Lease
Partners, a general partnership, is owned jointly by CHC REIT Lessee Corp., a
wholly owned subsidiary of CHC International, Inc. ("CHC") and by an affiliate
of a principal of the Gencom group of companies. CHC Lease Partners began
operating twenty hotels (the "Initial Hotels") on October 2, 1995.
 
  Each hotel is leased by the Operating Partnership to CHC Lease Partners
under separate participating operating lease agreements which contain cross-
default provisions. These leases, which require CHC Lease Partners to maintain
a minimum net worth and adequate working capital, have an average term of
eleven years, and require payment of the greater of (1) minimum base rent or
(2) participating rent based upon certain percentages of room revenue, food
and beverage revenue, conference center revenue and telephone and other
revenues of each of the Initial Hotels.
 
  The Initial Hotels consist of fifteen full service hotels, four limited
service hotels and one executive conference center. Seventeen of the twenty
Initial Hotels are operated under franchise licenses with nationally
recognized hotel companies. The cost of obtaining the franchise licenses is
paid by the Operating Partnership and the continuing franchise fees are paid
by CHC Lease Partners. Franchise and related fees generally range from 3.5% to
8.0% of room revenues for Initial Hotels under franchise licenses.
 
  In January 1996 and March 1996, CHC Lease Partners and the Operating
Partnership entered into three operating leases for three hotels which were
acquired by the Operating Partnership. The leases are substantially similar to
the other participating lease agreements between CHC Lease Partners and the
Operating Partnership. As of March 31, 1996, CHC Lease Partners operates
twenty-three hotels.
 
  At March 31, 1996, the hotels leased by CHC Lease Partners consist of
eighteen full service hotels, four limited service hotels and one executive
conference center. Nineteen of the twenty-three hotels are operated under
franchise licenses with nationally recognized hotel companies.
 
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
  These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. Significant accounting policies are summarized
below.
 
 Accounting 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 revenue and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
 Fiscal Year
 
  CHC Lease Partners' fiscal year ends on November 30, however, these
financial statements have been prepared as of and for the period inception
(October 2, 1995) to December 31, 1995 and as of and for the three months
ended March 31, 1996.

redemption for one share of Company common stock. In addition, the OP Units
are also subject to additional restrictions as to transfer until October 2,
1997. Under the participating lease agreements CHC Lease Partners has
collaterally assigned 166,668 OP Units to the Operating Partnership. The OP
Units are stated at lower of cost or market based upon the fair market value
of Company common stock with an appropriate discount for any restrictions
imposed on the OP Units.
 
 Revenue Recognition
 
  Revenue is recognized upon performance of hotel-related services and
delivery of food and beverages. Credit evaluations are performed and an
allowance for doubtful accounts is provided against accounts receivable which
are estimated to be uncollectible.
 
 Income Taxes
 
  Under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state
income tax law, CHC Lease Partners is not subject to taxation on income. The
federal and state income tax consequences of CHC Lease Partners' profits and
losses accrue to the partners.
 
 Concentration of Credit Risk
 
  Financial instruments which potentially subject CHC Lease Partners to
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash balances with banks
in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insured limits,
accounts receivable from hotel customers and investments in OP Units. CHC
Lease Partners places its cash with high quality financial institutions,
however, at December 31, 1995 and March 31, 1996 CHC Lease Partners has cash
balances with banks in excess of FDIC insured limits. Management believes the
credit risk related to these deposits is minimal. Concentrations of credit
risk with respect to accounts receivable from hotel customers are limited due
to the large number of customers and their dispersion across many hotels and
geographies. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to investments in OP
Units exist to the extent of potential fluctuations in the value of Company
common stock. Management believes the credit risk related to the OP Units is
minimal.
 
 Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
  The following notes summarize the major methods and assumptions used in
estimating fair values of financial instruments:

  Cash and Cash Equivalents. The carrying amount approximates fair value due
to the relatively short period to maturity of these instruments.
 
  Investments. The fair value of the OP Units is estimated based upon the
quoted market price of Company common stock less a discount of approximately
15% for the restrictions imposed on the OP Units. The carrying amount of the
OP Units approximates fair value.
 
 Interim Unaudited Financial Information
 
  The financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 1996
are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month period
ended March 31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for a full year.
 
2. COMMITMENTS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
 
  CHC Lease Partners at December 31, 1995 has future lease commitments to the
Operating Partnership under the participating lease agreements through the
year 2007. Minimum future rental payments under these noncancellable operating

  CHC Lease Partners incurred base rents of $6,801 and participating rents of
$3,654 during the period inception (October 2, 1995) to December 31, 1995 and
incurred base rents of $7,321 and participating rents of $4,620 during the
three months ended March 31, 1996. Of the total rent incurred during 1996,
approximately $617 related to three leases which commenced during the first
quarter. At December 31, 1995 and March 31, 1996, CHC Lease Partners owed the
Operating Partnership $2,260 and $2,279, respectively, for rents under the
terms of the participating leases.
 
  Under the participating lease agreements, CHC Lease Partners is obligated to
return to the Operating Partnership at the end of each lease term the
inventory at each of the Initial Hotels less a total of $1,000. Such amount is
considered a lease inducement and is recorded as a reduction to participating
lease payments over the lives of the participating lease agreements. As of
December 31, 1995, the balance of the lease inducement and the inventory due
to the Operating Partnership were $977 and $1,035, respectively, and at March
31, 1996 these amounts were $954 and $1,219, respectively.
 
  CHC Lease Partners has entered into management agreements with hotel
management subsidiaries of CHC and GAH-II, L.P. ("GAH"), an affiliate of CHC
and the Gencom group of companies, to perform all management functions
necessary to operate 19 of the 20 Initial Hotels as of December 31, 1995, and
22 of the 23 hotels as of March 31, 1996. The terms of these agreements range
from ten to twelve years with management fees due based upon a percentage of
gross revenue of each of the hotels leased ranging from 2.25% to 2.50%,
escalating to 3.0% over a two-to-three year period. The fees under these
management agreements are subordinate to CHC Lease Partners' obligations to
the Operating Partnership under the participating lease agreements. If, after
payment of management fees at the contract rate, CHC Lease Partners would be
deficient in participating lease payments to the Operating Partnership under
any of the participating lease agreements in any year, CHC and GAH would be
required to refund and forego management fees for each of the hotels which are
deficient in participating lease payments. If after the management fees are
refunded and foregone, CHC Lease Partners would

participating lease agreements, CHC and GAH would be required to pay CHC Lease
Partners up to 50% of the management fees earned by CHC and GAH respectively,
except for one CHC managed hotel. Management fees incurred under these
management agreements were $460 during the period inception (October 2, 1995)
to December 31, 1995 and $516 for the three months ended March 31, 1996.
Included in due to affiliates, net at December 31, 1995 were amounts for
management fees under these management agreements due from CHC and owed to GAH
of $46 and $43, respectively. At March 31, 1996, amounts owed to CHC and GAH
under these management agreements were $27 and $309, respectively.
 
  CHC Lease Partners fully reimburses CHC for office space it occupies within
the corporate offices of CHC and for the payroll and related costs CHC
administers on behalf of CHC Lease Partners. These costs amounted to $141 for
the period inception (October 2, 1995) to December 31, 1995 and $149 for the
three months ended March 31, 1996. At December 31, 1995 and March 31, 1996,
the amount due CHC for these costs was $141 and $175, respectively.
 
  During the three months ended March 31, 1996, CHC Lease Partners made
distributions to its partners of $340.
 
3. PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION (UNAUDITED):
 
  The unaudited pro forma statements of operations are presented as if the
leases and the operation of the Initial Hotels had commenced on January 1,
1994. The unaudited pro forma statements of operations are not necessarily
indicative of what the actual results of operations of CHC Lease Partners
would have been assuming such operations had commenced as of January 1, 1994,
nor do they purport to represent the results of operations for future periods.
Pro forma lessee expenses represent management fees and estimated lessee
overhead expenses and exclude dividend income on 250,001 OP Units and interest
income associated with working capital balances.

4. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:
 
  During the first quarter of 1996, CHC Lease Partners and the Operating
Partnership entered into two operating leases for two hotels which were
acquired by the Operating Partnership. The leases are substantially similar to
the other participating lease agreements between CHC Lease Partners and the
Operating Partnership. The base rent for the two hotels should total
approximately $4,721 for 1996, subject to completion of planned renovations
and other activities.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
 
To the Partners and Owners of the Initial Hotels:
 
  We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of the Initial
Hotels (described in Note 1) as of December 31, 1994, and the related combined
statements of operations, partners' and owners' equity, and cash flows for the
period January 1, 1995 through October 1, 1995 and for the years ended
December 31, 1994 and 1993. These combined financial statements are the
responsibility of the management of the Initial Hotels. Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We
did not audit the financial statements of certain of the Initial Hotels and
Troy Hotel Investors, which statements reflect total assets constituting 37%
of the combined total assets as of December 31, 1994 and total revenues
constituting 41%, 32% and 35% of the combined total revenues for the period
January 1, 1995 through October 1, 1995 and for the years ended December 31,
1994 and 1993, respectively. Such financial statements were audited by other
auditors whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as
it relates to the amounts included for such hotels, is based solely on the
reports of such other auditors.
 
  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 and the reports of other
auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
  In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, the
financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the combined financial position of the Initial Hotels as of
December 31, 1994, and the combined results of their operations and their cash
flows for the period January 1, 1995 through October 1, 1995 and for the years
ended December 31, 1994 and 1993, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

limited partnership) as of October 1, 1995 and the related statements of

October 1, 1995 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
period from January 1, 1995 through October 1, 1995 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
 
  As discussed in Note 9, the Partnership sold substantially all of its assets
and liabilities on October 2, 1995. The financial statements do not reflect
the effects of the sale. The partners intend to dissolve the Partnership
in 1996.

  The Operating Partnership purchased the Initial Hotels from the Selling
Entities for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $311,000. The owners
of the Selling Entities received cash and/or units of limited partnership
interest in the Operating Partnership as consideration for the hotels. See
Initial Public Offering below.

  Upon acquisition, all of the Initial Hotels were leased to CHC Lease
Partners, a general partnership owned jointly by CHC and an affiliate of a
principal of Gencom, pursuant to separate participating leases (the
"Participating Leases"). Under the terms of the Participating Leases, CHC
Lease Partners is obligated to pay the greater of (1) minimum base rent or (2)
participating rent based upon certain percentages of room revenue, food and
beverage revenue, conference center revenue and telephone and other revenue of
each of the Initial Hotels. The Participating Leases have an average term of
approximately eleven years.
 
  CHC Lease Partners contracted with hotel management subsidiaries of CHC and
with GAH-II, L.P. ("GAH") to manage 19 of the Initial Hotels and Metro Hotels
Joint Venture manages the remaining Initial Hotel (collectively, the
"Operators"). Under the terms of these management agreements the Operators are
required to perform all management functions necessary to operate the Initial
Hotels.
 
 Initial Public Offering
 
  The Company filed its registration statement with the Securities and
Exchange Commission which became effective September 27, 1995 pursuant to
which the Company completed an initial offering (the "Initial Offering") of
14,605,000 shares of its common stock to the public (including 1,905,000
shares of common stock issued upon exercise of the underwriters' over-
allotment option). The Initial Offering price of all shares sold in the
Initial Offering was $24.00 per share, resulting in net proceeds (less the
underwriters' discount and offering expenses) of approximately $313,170.
 
  Upon completion of the Initial Offering, the Company contributed, through
its wholly-owned subsidiaries, substantially all of the net proceeds of the
Initial Offering to the Operating Partnership in exchange for an approximately
86.3% partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. The Operating
Partnership then used the proceeds from the Company to acquire the Initial
Hotels from the Selling Entities, to finance certain capital improvements and
for general working capital. Rather than receiving cash for their entire
interests in the Selling Entities upon the sale of the Initial Hotels, the
Primary Contributors and certain third-party sellers elected to receive
limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership aggregating an
approximately 13.7% equity interest in the Operating Partnership.
 
 Basis Of Presentation
 
  The accompanying financial statements are presented on a combined basis
because subsequent to October 1, 1995, these properties are wholly-owned by
the Operating Partnership and because 19 of the 20 Initial Hotels included in
the combination were either owned or managed by one of the Primary
Contributors or their affiliates prior to the Operating Partnership's
acquisition. For those hotels owned by the Primary Contributors or their
affiliates, the accompanying combined financial statements include the results
of operations subsequent to the date of acquisition of each respective hotel.
For those hotels managed by the Primary Contributors or their affiliates, the
combined financial statements include the results of operations for all
periods presented (since these hotels were managed by the Primary Contributors
or their affiliates during all periods).
 
  The Marriott Hotel was acquired by one of the Primary Contributors on
December 30, 1994. The accompanying financial statements include the financial
position and results of operations of the Marriott Hotel from the date of
acquisition.
 
  The accompanying financial statements have been prepared for the period from
January 1, 1995 to October 1, 1995, (the day before the acquisition of the
Initial Hotels by the Operating Partnership) and for the years ended December
31, 1993 and 1994. Unless otherwise specified, all references to a year in the
financial statements are for the periods stated above.

                            (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
 
  Management believes that these combined financial statements result in a
more meaningful presentation and thus appropriately reflect the historical
financial position and results of operations of the predecessor of CHC Lease
Partners. All significant inter-entity transactions have been eliminated in
the combined presentation.
 
 Interim Unaudited Financial Information
 
  The combined statements of operations and cash flows for the three months
ended March 31, 1995 are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
 
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
 Cash Equivalents
 
  All highly liquid investments with an original maturity date of three months
or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents.
 
 Cash Held in Escrow
 
  Cash held in escrow consists primarily of amounts for taxes and insurance
remitted to the lenders which hold the mortgages on the hotel facilities.
 
 Concentration of Credit Risk
 
  At December 31, 1994, the Initial Hotels have cash balances with banks in
excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's insured limits totalling
$5,385.
 
 Inventories
 
  Inventories, consisting of food, beverages, china, linens and glassware, are
stated at the lower of cost (generally, first-in, first-out) or market.
 
 Initial Hotel Properties
 
  The Initial Hotel properties are stated at the lower of cost or net
realizable value. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method
based upon the following estimated useful lives:

  In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121,
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets
to be Disposed Of, management of the Initial Hotels records impairment losses
on long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate
that the assets
 
                                     F-51
<PAGE>
 
                                INITIAL HOTELS
 
              NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
                            (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by
those assets are less than the carrying amount of those assets. No such
impairment losses have been recognized to date.
 
  Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred; major
renewals and betterments are capitalized.
 
 Deferred Expenses
 
  Deferred expenses consist primarily of franchise fees, organization costs
and deferred loan costs. Amortization of franchise fees is computed using the
straight-line method over the terms of the related franchise agreements.
Organization costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over five years.
Deferred loan costs are amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis
over the term of the loan.
 
 Income Taxes
 
  The Selling Entities are not subject to federal or state income taxes;
however, they must file informational income tax returns and the partners or
shareholders must take income or loss of the Selling Entities into
consideration when filing their respective tax returns.
 
 Revenue Recognition
 
  Revenue is recognized as earned. Ongoing credit evaluations are performed
and an allowance for potential credit losses is provided against the portion
of accounts receivable which is estimated to be uncollectible. Such losses
have been within management's expectations.
 
 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 amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
3. MORTGAGES AND OTHER NOTES PAYABLE:
 
 Mortgage Loans
 
  Mortgage loans payable is comprised of 21 loans as of December 31, 1994,
each of which are generally collateralized by a first lien deed of trust and
assignment of rents. Mortgage loans payable consists of both interest-only and
amortizing loans which mature at various dates through November 2011. Seven of
the mortgage loans totalling $81,103 as of December 31, 1994 and $84,686 as of
March 31, 1995 have fixed interest rates ranging from 6.0% to 12.0%. Variable
rate mortgage loans payable at December 31, 1994 and March 31, 1995 total
approximately $47,029 and $49,238, respectively. Interest rates on the
variable rate debt are generally based on prime or LIBOR rates which were 8.5%
and 6.0%, respectively, at December 31, 1994 and were 9.0% and 6.1%,
respectively, at March 31, 1995. Certain of the mortgage obligations are
personally guaranteed by certain partners of the Selling Entities.
 
 Other Notes Payable
 
  Other Notes Payable is comprised of six notes as of December 31, 1994 and
March 31, 1995 totaling $2,963 and $6,083, respectively. The proceeds from the
notes were used to finance improvements to certain hotels. The notes, which
mature at various dates through December 31, 2004, bear interest at rates
ranging from 7.5% to 14%. Certain of the notes are guaranteed by owners.

                            (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
 
 Debt Extinguishment
 
  All of the outstanding mortgage and other notes payable described above were
repaid on October 2, 1995 from the proceeds of the Initial Offering.
 
  The Bourbon Orleans Hotel was purchased subject to a mortgage note in the
amount of $9,345 held by the Resolution Trust Corporation ("RTC"). Due to the
non-interest bearing feature of the loan, the mortgage note payable and the
carrying amount of the property were discounted in the amount of $3,220 using
an imputed interest rate of approximately 7.5%. The loan provided for payment
to the RTC equal to 25% of the net proceeds from sale or refinancing of the
property.
 
  In February 1995, the owner refinanced the hotel and the RTC note payable
was retired, prior to scheduled maturity, for $7,588. The excess of the
reacquisition price over the net carrying amount of the debt of $5,785,
resulted in a loss on extinguishment of $1,803, which is presented as an
extraordinary item in 1995. Additionally, interest expense in 1995 includes
$1,242 paid to the RTC for its share of the net refinancing proceeds. The new
loan, in the amount of $12,500, accrued interest at the LIBOR Index, with
monthly payments of interest only due for the first twelve months.
 
  Additionally, the loan proceeds were used to retire other indebtedness of
the hotel of approximately $2,480 and to purchase equipment leased under
capital leases of approximately $1,290.
 
  In March 1995, the Radisson New Orleans Hotel obtained an extension of a
$500,000 note payable due January 1995. The terms of the loan remained
unchanged except for an extension of the loan maturity date to December 2,
1995.
 
4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
 
 Franchise Agreements
 
  Under the terms of hotel franchise agreements expiring at various dates
through July 2013, annual payments for franchise royalties, reservation and
advertising services are due for 17 of the 20 Initial Hotels. Fees are
computed based upon percentages of gross room revenue. Such fees were
approximately $1,598, $2,458, $2,315, and $875 for 1993, 1994 and 1995, and
the three months ended March 31, 1995, respectively. Certain of these
agreements require the franchisee to establish reserves for property
improvements, replacement of furniture and equipment or payment of property
taxes and insurance. The 17 hotels will continue to be operated under
franchise agreements with the same franchisors with remaining terms in excess
of ten years.
 
 Operating Leases
 
  Equipment, vehicles and land are leased under noncancelable operating lease
agreements expiring at varying intervals through July 2069. Following is a
schedule of future minimum rental payments required under these leases as of
December 31, 1994:

 Contingencies
 
  Certain entities included in the Initial Hotels are subject to various legal
proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. These
matters are generally covered by insurance. While the resolution of these
matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the final
outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the
financial position or results of operations of the Operating Partnership or
the Company, notwithstanding potential insurance recovery.
 
5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
 
  After the Initial Offering described in Note 1, the Operators of 19 of the
Initial Hotels are hotel management subsidiaries of CHC, and GAH, an entity
affiliated with CHC and Gencom. Prior to the Initial Offering, seven of the
Initial Hotels were operated by CHC and six were operated by GAH. In addition,
five of the remaining Initial Hotels were operated by affiliates of the
Selling Entities.
 
  The hotels were operated under management agreements expiring through August
2003, and terms included management fees generally ranging from 2% to 5% of
revenue. In addition, certain of the hotels provided for the payment of
incentive management fees based on achievement of specified performance
criteria as defined in the individual management agreements. In certain cases
accounting fees ranging from $1 to $3 per month, asset management fees ranging
from $2 to $3 per month, and construction supervisory fees ranging from 5% to
10% of the total cost incurred for capital improvements were also due.

  Accounting and other fees are included in general and administrative costs
and construction supervisory fees are included in buildings and improvements
in the accompanying financial statements. Unpaid fees are included in amounts
due to affiliates.
 
  Certain of the Selling Entities have received working capital loans or
advances from owners or their affiliates. These loans bear interest at rates
ranging from 5% to 14% at December 31, 1994 and mature at various dates
through March 1997. The advances are non-interest bearing and are generally
due on demand. Loans and advances from owners and their affiliates of $5,598
and $560, respectively, at December 31, 1994 are included in amounts due to
affiliates. Interest expense related to these loans is $385, $649, $182, and
$136 for 1993, 1994 and 1995, and the three months ended March 31, 1995,
respectively. In addition, certain of the Selling Entities have made non-
interest bearing advances to affiliates totalling $753 at December 31, 1994.
Loans and advances from affiliates were repaid in connection with the
Offering.
 
6. CHANGES IN OWNERSHIP:
 
  In April 1993, Peachtree Executive Conference Center ("Peachtree") was
acquired from an unaffiliated third party. This transaction resulted in a net
increase in the net assets of the property of approximately $4,498. Peachtree
has been managed by an affiliate of CHC during all periods presented and,
therefore, the accompanying financial statements include the results of
operations of Peachtree both prior to and subsequent to the change in
ownership.
 
  In January 1995, the partnership owning the Radisson New Orleans Hotel
redeemed the limited partnership interest of a minority partner based upon a
negotiated purchase price of $4,249 and bought out the existing management
contract of the hotel operator in exchange for notes payable aggregating
$4,499. The notes were repaid in connection with the Offering.
 
  In June 1995, one of the Primary Contributors acquired the interests of his
partners in the Holiday Inn Northwest Houston. In connection with this
acquisition, an affiliated entity acquired all the assets and certain
liabilities in exchange for a note payable to the seller, which wraps around
the underlying first mortgage and certain other indebtedness of the seller.
The amount of the note payable in excess of the underlying indebtedness of
$3,772 has been reflected as a redemption of partner interests in the
accompanying financial statements.

7. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
 
  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 requires disclosure
about fair value for all financial instruments whether or not recognized, for
financial statement purposes. Disclosure about fair value of financial
instruments is based on pertinent information available to management as of
December 31, 1994. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data
and develop estimated fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein
are not necessarily indicative of the amounts which could be realized on
disposition of the financial instruments. The use of different market
assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the
estimated fair value amounts.
 
 Cash Equivalents
 
  Management estimates that the fair value of cash equivalents approximate
carrying value due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments.
 
 Mortgages and Other Notes Payable
 
  Management estimates that the fair value of mortgages and other notes
payable approximate carrying value based upon the Initial Hotels' effective
borrowing rate for issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining
maturities.
 
8. NON CASH INVESTING AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES:
 
  During the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1994, the Selling Entities
incurred capital lease obligations of $368 and $1,746, respectively, in the
acquisition of equipment.
 
  The Holiday Inn Select North Dallas was acquired in 1993 subject to a
mortgage note payable of $8,793.
 
  During 1994, receivables of $200 were distributed to a current owner. In
December 1994, an affiliate of one of the Primary Contributors acquired
substantially all of the assets of the Marriott Hotel, subject to mortgage and
other indebtedness of $14,679.
 
  During 1995, a note payable to an affiliate of one of the Primary
Contributors was converted to an additional equity interest in the owner of
the Peachtree Executive Conference Center in the amount of $4,145.
 
  During 1995, partners' interest in two hotels were redeemed for notes
payable totaling $8,021.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
To the General Partners Troy Park Associates:
 
  We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Troy Park Associates (a
limited partnership) as of December 29, 1994 and the related statements of
operations and partners' equity and cash flows for the period from January 1,
1994 to December 29, 1994 and for the year ended December 31, 1993. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership'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.
 
  As discussed in Note 1, the Partnership sold substantially all of its assets
and liabilities on December 30, 1994. As a result of the sale, the Partnership
recorded a provision for impairment of long-lived assets of $11,503,536 in the
accompanying financial statements. The accompanying financial statements have
been prepared through the date prior to the sale of the Hotel. The partners
intend to dissolve the Partnership in 1995.
 
  In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Troy Park Associates as of
December 29, 1994, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
the period from January 1, 1994 to December 29, 1994 and for the year ended
December 31, 1993 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
 Basis of Presentation
 
  Troy Park Associates (TPA) is a limited partnership with ITH-THO Associates
(ITH-THO), as general partner, and Interstate/Troy Associates (ITA), as
limited partner. The partners of ITH-THO are Interstate Hotels Corporation
#1018 (IHC #1018), which is owned by a partner of ITA, as general partner, and
ITA, as limited partner.
 
  TPA owns the Troy Marriott Hotel (Hotel) located in Troy, Michigan, which
opened in March 1990. The Hotel is a 350-room property operated by Interstate
Hotels Corporation #204 (IHC #204), as agent, pursuant to a management
agreement effective November 1, 1988. IHC #204 is an affiliate of ITA and ITH-
THO. The financial statements include all of the transactions of TPA and of
the Hotel.
 
  On September 30, 1994, a purchase and sale agreement was entered into
between TPA and Troy Hotel Investors, L.P. (THI) to sell all the assets of the
Hotel, except for approximately $263 in accounts receivable, and all the
related liabilities of the Hotel, except for the second mortgage and the
advances from partners of $133, to THI for $7,250. The partners of THI are AP-
GP Troy Hotel Partners, L.P. (AP-GP) and IHC #1018, as general partners, and
AP/Troy Hotel Partners, L.P. (AP/Troy), Hilltop Investment Partnership, L.P.
(HIP), and IHC Associates, L.P. (IHA), as limited partners. AP-GP is an
affiliate of AP/Troy, the holder of the second mortgage (Note 6). HIP and IHA
are affiliates of ITA and ITH-THO. The sale was consummated effective December
30, 1994. The partners intend to dissolve the Partnership in 1995.
 
  As a result of the sale of the Hotel, TPA recorded a provision for
impairment of long-lived assets of $11,504 in the 1994 statement of operations
and partners' equity for the difference between the book value of the assets
and liabilities sold and the sale price.
 
  The accompanying financial statements have been prepared for the period from
January 1, 1994 to December 29, 1994, the day before the sale of the Hotel,
and for the year ended December 31, 1993. Unless otherwise specified, all
references to a year in the financial statements are for the periods stated
above.
 
 Inventories
 
  Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined
using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method of accounting.
 
 Property and Equipment
 
  Prior to December 29, 1994, property and equipment were recorded at cost and
were depreciated primarily on the straight-line method over their estimated
useful lives. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs were expensed as
incurred. The cost and the related accumulated depreciation applicable to
property no longer in service were eliminated from the accounts and any gain
or loss thereon was included in operations.
 
 Deferred Expenses
 
  Deferred expenses consist of loan acquisition costs, initial franchise fees
and preopening costs which are being amortized on the straight-line basis over
periods ranging from 5 to 25 years.

 Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
  For purposes of the statements of cash flows, all unrestricted, highly
liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less are
considered to be cash equivalents. No collateral or other security is provided
on cash deposits, other than $100 of deposits for each financial institution
insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
 
 Income Tax Status
 
  Partnerships are not subject to state and federal income taxes. Accordingly,
net income or loss and any available tax credits are allocated to the partners
in proportion to their income and loss rates of participation.
 
 Balance Sheet Presentation
 
  The balance sheet of TPA is presented as unclassified to conform to industry
practice for real estate entities.
 
 Reclassifications
 
  Certain amounts in the 1993 financial statements have been reclassified to
conform to the presentation adopted in 1994.
 
2. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
 
  The Hotel is operated as a Marriott Hotel pursuant to a franchise agreement
(Agreement) dated July 18, 1989 between IHC #204, as franchisee, and Marriott
International, as franchisor. The initial term of the Agreement is 25 years
and can be extended, by the mutual consent of the parties and on the then
current terms of Marriott International franchise agreements, for five
successive five-year terms. The Agreement requires ongoing fees, which
comprise royalty expense in the statements of operations and partners' equity,
amounting to 6% of room revenues and 3% of certain food and beverage revenues.
In addition, other fees paid to Marriott International include a national
advertising campaign fee of .8% of room revenues, as well as fees for a
national reservation system, networking, honored guest awards and other
promotional programs. These other fees amounted to approximately $848 in 1994
and $838 in 1993.
 
  Prior to December 23, 1993, the management agreement discussed in Note 1
provided for a management fee of 4% of gross revenues on the first $30,000 of
gross revenues earned by the Hotel. Pursuant to the mortgage payable agreement
discussed in Note 6, the management agreement was amended to provide for a
management fee of 3% of gross revenues and an incentive fee, payable annually
in arrears, of .5% of gross revenues if operating profit before debt service
exceeds $3,000. The management fees earned by IHC #204 were approximately $526
in 1994 and $604 in 1993. Incentive fees totaling approximately $83 were
earned during 1994. There were no incentive fees earned during 1993.
 
  Additionally, the management agreement and franchise agreement provide that
cash from operations be restricted for the future acquisition or for the
replacement of property and equipment based on a percentage of gross hotel
revenues each year (3% in 1994 and 1993). Similar restrictions apply to
interest earned on such funds.
 
  Travel, telephone, legal, computer and other direct expenses approximating
$73 and $70 were recorded during 1994 and 1993, respectively, for services
provided for or expenses incurred on behalf of the Hotel by Interstate Hotels
Corporation (IHC), an affiliate of IHC #204.

                                                                        =======
</TABLE>
 
  In December 1993, TPA borrowed $13,000 on a first mortgage and $7,250 on a
second mortgage and paid $20,111 of the proceeds to extinguish the outstanding
principal balance of $33,162 and accrued interest of $3,604 on its then term
loan and release all collateral and any claims or rights arising under the
term loan agreement. The extinguishment resulted in a gain of $16,655 which is
presented as an extraordinary item in the 1993 statement of operations and
partners' equity. The first mortgage accrues interest at a rate of 425 basis
points over the LIBOR rate and is payable in varying monthly principal and
interest payments. The LIBOR rate in effect at December 29, 1994 was 5.98%.
The mortgage obligation matures on January 1, 2001 when all unpaid principal
and interest amounts will be due and payable.
 
  The first mortgage agreement also provides for excess cash flow, as defined,
to be applied to the prepayment of the debt in the event that certain minimum
coverage ratios of net income to debt service expense are not maintained.
There were no prepayments required during 1994 or 1993.
 
  Additionally, the first mortgage agreement requires TPA to transfer certain
amounts into an escrow account to be used for payments of insurance and taxes.
 
  The second mortgage is with AP/Troy. The second mortgage accrued interest,
which was payable quarterly, at 90% of net cash flows, as defined, until such
interest rate equaled a rate of 15%; at 75% of net cash flows until such
interest rate equaled a rate of 25% and at 65% of net cash flows thereafter.
Under the terms of the loan agreement, the second mortgage was convertible to
90% equity interest in the partnership if certain conditions, as described in
the mortgage agreement, were met by July 1, 1994. The agreement matured July
1, 1994 and was extended to the earlier of 30 days following the satisfaction
of the conditions or January 1, 1995. These conditions were not met and on
September 30, 1994, TPA entered into a sales agreement with THI to sell the
Hotel. As discussed in Note 1, the Hotel was sold on December 30, 1994 and the
note was paid with the proceeds from the sale of the Hotel.
 
  Two of the partners and an affiliate of one of the partners of TPA have
provided certain financial guarantees not to seek protection under bankruptcy
or other similar laws.
 
  The mortgage agreements contain certain restrictive covenants including
limitations on the assumption of additional indebtedness, changes in the
partnership agreements and changes of the managing agent of the Hotel (IHC
#204).
 
  The first and second mortgages are collateralized by substantially all of
the assets of the Hotel, not specifically collateralizing the capital lease
obligations.

8. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS:
 
  The Hotel participated in the following employee benefit plans sponsored by
IHC:
 
  The Interstate Hotels Corporation Employee Health and Welfare Plan (and
related Trust) provides employees of IHC and certain of its affiliates
including IHC #204 (the Company) with group health insurance benefits. The
group policies provide for a "minimum premium plan" whereby IHC is self-
insured for certain benefits, subject to certain individual claim and
aggregate maximum liability limits.
 
  For the period January 1, 1994 through July 31, 1994, the Hotel paid a
premium to the Trust based on the estimated conventional premium. Effective
August 1, 1994, the Hotel paid the premiums directly to IHC. These premiums
may be prospectively adjusted to consider actual claims experience. The Hotel
incurred expenses of approximately $245 in 1994 and $194 in 1993 related to
the plan. The Trust is exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(8)
of the Internal Revenue Code as a voluntary employees' beneficiary
association.
 
  The Company maintains a defined contribution savings plan for all employees.
Eligibility for participation in the plan is based on the employee's
attainment of 21 years of age and on the completion of one year of service
with the Company. Employer contributions are based on a percentage of employee
contributions. Participants may make voluntary contributions to the plan of up
to 6% of their compensation, as defined. The Hotel incurred expenses of
approximately $60 in 1994 and $46 in 1993 related to the plan.
 
  The Company sponsors certain other employee benefit plans, which change from
time to time, but generally provide for incentive bonuses and deferred
compensation to certain key employees of IHC #204 and the Hotel. These
compensation awards are dependent on the Hotel's performance and other
established criteria. The Hotel incurred expenses of approximately $150 in
1994 and $117 in 1993 related to these plans.

statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides 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 Buckhead Hospitality Joint

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
  (AMOUNTS AND DISCLOSURES AS OF MARCH 31, 1995 AND FEBRUARY 29, 1996 AND THE
                       PERIODS THEN ENDED ARE UNAUDITED)
 
1. ORGANIZATION
 
  On November 9, 1993, Buckhead Hotels, Inc. (BHI), and Buckhead Ventures,
Inc. (BVI), formed the Buckhead Hospitality Joint Venture (the "Venture"), a
Texas Joint Venture to acquire, own, and operate the Holiday Inn--Lenox Hotel,
a full-service 297-room hotel located in Atlanta, Georgia (the "Hotel"). BHI
and BVI each own 50% of the Joint Venture, of which BHI is the managing
venturer.
 
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
 Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
  All highly liquid investments with an original maturity date of three months
or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents.
 
 Cash held in Escrow
 
  Cash held in escrow consists primarily of amounts escrowed for taxes.
 
 Inventories
 
  Inventories, consisting of food and beverages, are stated at the lower of
cost (generally, first-in, first-out) or market.
 
 Hotel Property
 
  The hotel property is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the assets of 40 years for building and improvements and seven
years for furniture and equipment.
 
  In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121,
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets
to be Disposed Of, the Venture would record impairment losses on long-lived
assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the
assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be
generated by those assets are less than the carrying amounts of those assets.
No such impairment losses have been recognized to date by the Venture.
 
 Capitalization Policy
 
  Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred; major
renewals and betterments are capitalized.
 
 Deferred Expenses
 
  Deferred expenses consist of loan costs and organizational costs.
Organizational costs are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a five
year period. Deferred loan costs are amortized to interest expense on a
straight-line basis over the life of the related note payable.
 
 Income Taxes
 
  The Venture is not subject to federal or state income taxes; however, it
must file informational income tax returns and the venturers must take income
or loss of the Venture into consideration when filing their respective tax
returns.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 Revenue Recognition
 
  Revenue is recognized as earned. Ongoing credit evaluations are performed
and an allowance for potential credit losses is provided against the portion
of accounts receivable which is estimated to be uncollectible. Such losses
have been within management's expectations.
 
 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 amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
 Concentration of Credit Risk
 
  At December 31, 1995 and February 29, 1996, the Venture had cash balances
with a bank in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's insured
limit by $25,323 and $1,097,573, respectively.
 
 Interim Unaudited Financial Information
 
  The accompanying financial statements as of February 29, 1996 and for the
three months ended March 31, 1995 and the period January 1, 1996 through
February 29, 1996 are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of interim
periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a
full year.
 
3. MORTGAGE NOTE PAYABLE
 
  Mortgage note payable consists of a note payable to General Innkeeping
Acceptance Corporation (GIAC), collateralized by a leasehold deed and security
agreement on substantially all of the Venture's assets. Interest is payable
monthly at a rate of prime plus 3.5%. At December 31, 1995 and February 29,
1996, the prime rate was 8.5% and 8.25%, respectively. In addition to
interest, a loan administration and servicing fee equal to .25% per annum of
the outstanding balance is payable monthly to GIAC.
 
  Principal payments of $6,250 are due monthly, with the remaining balance
payable due upon maturity at September 1, 2001. The scheduled principal
payments as of December 31, 1995 are as follows:

</TABLE>
 
  In 1995, the Venture paid $160,750 of loan fees while negotiating a possible
refinancing of their debt. The Venture elected not to execute the refinancing,
therefore the related fees were expensed in full and are included in general
and administrative expense in the accompanying financial statements.
 
4. VENTURERS' CAPITAL
 
  At inception, each venturer contributed $325,000. The Joint Venture
agreement requires that each venturer make matching pro rata additional
contributions, provided that no venturer should be obligated to make

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

contributions in excess of $100,000 in any fiscal year. No contributions were
made during 1995 or during the period ended February 29, 1996.
 
  Net income of the Joint Venture is allocated to BHI and BVI in accordance
with the Joint Venture agreement.
 
  Distributions of cash from operations are to be made in accordance with the
Joint Venture ownership interests after the close of each six-month period,
subject to any restrictions imposed by loan agreements and after creating such
reasonable reserves as the Venturers' deem appropriate. No distributions were
made in 1995 or during the period ended February 29, 1996.
 
5. COMMITMENTS
 
 Franchise Agreement
 
  Under the terms of the hotel franchise agreement expiring in August 2009,
payment for royalty fees, marketing fees, reservation fees and other fees are
payable monthly. Fees are generally computed based on percentages of gross
revenues. Additionally, monthly computer system fees and terminal maintenance
fees are payable monthly to Holiday Inns Franchising, Inc. pursuant to
additional agreements. Total fees incurred for these services during the year
ended December 31, 1995, the three months ended March 31, 1995 and the period
January 1, 1996 through February 29, 1996 were approximately $406,000,
$100,917 and $69,064, respectively.
 
 Capital Lease Obligations
 
  The Venture leases equipment under capital lease agreements expiring on
varying intervals through 1999. Depreciation of assets recorded under capital
leases is included in depreciation and amortization in the accompanying
financial statements. Future minimum payments under capital lease obligations
as of December 31, 1995 are as follows:

  Rental expense incurred during the year ended December 31, 1995, for the
three months ended March 31, 1995 and during the period from January 1, 1996
through February 29, 1996 under these leases was approximately $1,070,333,
$269,428 and $180,884, respectively.
 
6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
  The Hotel is operated by BHI. The Joint Venture agreement provides for a
monthly management fee of 5% of gross income, of which 3.5% is paid to BHI and
the remaining 1.5% is paid to BVI. Due to affiliates at December 31, 1995 and
February 29, 1996 represents accrued management fees.
 
  Accounting and other fees of $3,000 per month are paid to Westminster
Hotels, an affiliate of BHI. These fees are included in general and
administrative expenses in the accompanying financial statements.
 
  During 1995, the Venture repaid 1994 advances of $61,053 from Chartwell
Properties Joint Venture, an affiliate of BHI.
 
7. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 requires disclosure
about fair value for all financial instruments whether or not recognized, for
financial statement purposes. Disclosure about fair value of financial
instruments is based on pertinent information available to management as of
December 31, 1995. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data
and develop estimated fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein
are not necessarily indicative of the amounts which could be realized on
disposition of financial instruments. The use of different market assumptions
and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated
fair value amounts.
 
  Management estimates that the fair value of (i) accounts receivable,
accounts payable, advanced deposits and accrued expenses approximate carrying
value due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments; (ii) mortgage
notes payable approximate carrying value based upon the Venture's effective
borrowing rate for issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining
maturities; (iii) capital lease obligations approximate carrying value based
on the Venture's effective borrowing rate for financing the purchase of
similar equipment under similar terms.
 
8. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
 
  On March 5, 1996, the Venture sold the Hotel and related assets to Patriot
American Hospitality Partnership, L.P. ("Patriot") for approximately $7.2
million in cash and 167,012 limited partnership units in Patriot with a value
of approximately $4.0 million on the date of contract.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
 
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders ofPatriot American Hospitality,
 Inc.
   
  We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of the Gateway Hotel
Limited Partnership and Wenatchee Hotel Limited Partnership (the
"Partnerships") as of December 31, 1995 and the related combined statements of
operations, partners' capital and cash flows for the year then ended. Our
audit also included the financial statement schedule listed in Item 35(a) of
this Registration Statement. These combined financial statements and schedule
are the responsibility of management of the Partnerships. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these combined financial statements and schedule
based on our audit.     
 
  We conducted our audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
 
  In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of the
Partnerships as of December 31, 1995 and the combined results of their
operations and their cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related
financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material
respects the information set forth therein.

1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
 Organization
   
  The Gateway Hotel Limited Partnership owns the WestCoast Gateway Hotel (the
"Gateway Hotel") located in Seattle, Washington. The Gateway Hotel is a full
service hotel with 145 guest rooms, approximately 625 square feet of meeting
space and one food and beverage outlet located next to the hotel which is
leased to a third party. WestCoast Hotels, Inc. constructed the Gateway Hotel,
which commenced operations in August 1990.     
 
  During July 1991, Wenatchee Hotel Limited Partnership acquired the WestCoast
Wenatchee Center Hotel (the "Wenatchee Hotel") in Wenatchee, Washington, which
is centrally located between the Columbia River and Cascade Mountains. The
Wenatchee Hotel is a full-service hotel with 147 guest rooms and one food and
beverage outlet. The Wenatchee Hotel is located next to the Wenatchee Center
(the "Center") which offers approximately 40,000 square feet of convention,
banquet and meeting space. The Center is managed by the Wenatchee Hotel
Limited Partnership.
 
  The Gateway Hotel Limited Partnership and the Wenatchee Hotel Limited
Partnership are collectively referred to as the "Partnerships" and the Gateway
Hotel and Wenatchee Hotel are collectively referred to as the "Hotels."
 
 Basis of Presentation
 
  The accompanying financial statements are presented on a combined basis
since the Partnerships are owned in part and managed by owners or affiliates
of WestCoast Hotels, Inc. All significant intercompany transactions have been
eliminated in the combined presentation.
 
 Interim Unaudited Financial Information
 
  The accompanying combined financial statements as of March 31, 1996 and for
the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1996 are unaudited; however, in the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring
adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the combined financial
statements have been included. The results of interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full year.
 
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
 Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
  All highly liquid investments with an original maturity date of three months
or less when purchased are considered to be cash equivalents.
 
 Inventories
 
  Inventories, consisting of food and beverage, are stated at the lower of
cost (generally, first-in, first-out) or market.
 
                                     F-83

                      WENATCHEE HOTEL LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
 
              NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
 Hotel Properties
 
  The Hotels are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based upon the assets'
estimated useful lives which range from 31 to 39 years for buildings and
improvements, and 5 to 10 years for furniture and equipment.
 
  In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121,
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets
to be Disposed Of, the Partnerships would record impairment losses on long-
lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that
the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be
generated by those assets are less than the carrying amounts of those assets.
No such impairment losses have been recognized to date.
 
 Capitalization Policy
 
  Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred; major
renewals and betterments are capitalized.
 
 Deferred Expenses
 
  Deferred expenses consist primarily of deferred loan costs and pre-opening
costs. Deferred loan costs are amortized to interest expense on a straight-
line basis over the term of the respective loan. Pre-opening costs are
amortized on a straight-line basis over five years.
 
 Income Taxes
 
  The partnerships are not subject to federal or state income taxes; however,
they must file informational income tax returns and the partners must take
income or losses of the partnerships into consideration when filing their
respective tax returns.
 
 Revenue Recognition
 
  Revenue is recognized as earned. Ongoing credit evaluations are performed
and an allowance for potential credit losses is provided against the portion
of accounts receivable which is estimated to be uncollectible. Such losses
have been within management's expectations.
 
 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 amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
 Concentration of Credit Risk
 
  At December 31, 1995 and March 31, 1996, the Partnerships have cash balances
and other short term investments with banks in excess of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation's insured limits totaling $335,288 and $19,996,
respectively.
 
 Seasonality
 
  The hotel industry is seasonal in nature. Generally, revenues at the Hotels
are greater in the second and third quarters of a calendar year.
 
3. MORTGAGES AND OTHER NOTES PAYABLE
 
  The Partnerships have mortgages and other notes payable with interest rates
ranging from 7.96% to 9.72%. Interest costs totaled $788,517 for the year
ended December 31, 1995 and $202,060 and $192,863 for the three months ended
March 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively.

first lien deed of trust and assignment of rents. The remaining mortgage loan
payable totaling $110,000 is a non-interest bearing loan scheduled to mature
May 31, 1996 and is secured by a second lien deed of trust and assignment of
rents. As of December 31, 1995, approximately $6,860,000 of the mortgage
obligations were personally guaranteed by certain partners of the
Partnerships.
 
 Other Notes Payable

totaling $850,622. The proceeds from the notes were generally used to finance
improvements to the Wenatchee Hotel. The notes, which mature at various dates

6. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 requires disclosure
about fair value for all financial instruments whether or not recognized, for
financial statement purposes. Disclosure about fair value of financial
instruments is based on pertinent information available to management as of
December 31, 1995 and March 31, 1996. Considerable judgment is necessary to
interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. Accordingly, the
estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts which
could be realized on disposition of financial instruments. The use of
different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a
material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

              NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
  Management estimates that the fair value of (i) accounts receivable,
accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate carrying value due to the
relatively short maturity of these instruments, and (ii) mortgages and other
notes payable approximate carrying value based upon the Partnerships'
effective borrowing rate for issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining
maturities.
 
7. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
 
  On April 2, 1996, the Partnerships sold the Hotels to Patriot American
Hospitality Partnership, L.P. ("Patriot") for an aggregate purchase price of
approximately $18,715,000, including 48,355 limited partnership units in
Patriot with a face value of $1,283,825 on the date of contract. Additionally,
the terms of the Purchase agreement provide for the payment to the
Partnerships of up to $465,400 in additional consideration upon the
achievement of certain operating results in 1997.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
To the Members
Newporter Beach Hotel Investments L.L.C.
 
  We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Newporter Beach Hotel
Investments L.L.C. (a limited liability company) (the "Company") as of
December 31, 1995, and the related statements of operations and members'
equity and cash flows for the period from March 10, 1995 to December 31, 1995.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on our audit.
 
  We conducted our audit 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 audit provides 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 Newporter Beach Hotel
Investments L.L.C. (a limited liability company) as of December 31, 1995, and
the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from March 10,
1995 to December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

                         (A LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY)
 
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
         FOR THE PERIOD FROM MARCH 10, 1995 THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 1995
 
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
 Basis Of Presentation:
 
  Newporter Beach Hotel Investments L.L.C. (the "Company") was formed in the
State of Washington on December 28, 1994 as a limited liability company
pursuant to the terms of the Limited Liability Company Agreement of Newporter
Beach Hotel Investments L.L.C. The primary purpose of the Company is to
acquire for investment and operation the Hyatt Newporter (the "Hotel") and
conduct other business activities related to the Hotel. The Company will
continue until the earlier of December 28, 2024, the unanimous agreement of
the members to dissolve the Company or the sale or other disposition of
substantially all of the assets of the Company. In general, members are not
personally liable for any debts or losses of the Company that exceed their
respective capital contributions, except as discussed in Note 6, and Company
losses are allocated to the members in proportion to their capital
contributions. As of December 31, 1995, the Company's members consisted of
December Investments L.L.C. (55%), Aspen Orange L.L.C. (27.5%) and WestCoast
Acquisitions, Inc. (17.5%).
 
  As discussed in Note 2, the Company acquired the Hotel on March 10, 1995
from CSL Newporter, Ltd., whose general partner, Columbia Savings and Loan
Association, was in receivership of the Resolution Trust Corporation. The
accompanying financial statements include all of the transactions of the
Company and of the Hotel as of December 31, 1995 and for the period between
March 10, 1995 through December 31, 1995.
 
 Interim Financial Information (Unaudited):
 
  The financial statements at March 31, 1996, and for the three months then
ended, are unaudited but include all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals only) which management considers necessary to present
fairly the Company's financial position as of March 31, 1996, and the results
of operations and cash flows for the three months then ended.
 
 Management 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.
 
 Property And Equipment:
 
  Property and equipment are stated at cost. Maintenance and repairs are
charged to operations as incurred. Upon retirement or other disposal, the
asset cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts,
and the net amount less any proceeds, is charged or credited to income. The
Company provides for depreciation on the straight-line method over the
following estimated useful lives of the respective assets:

                                                                           -----
      <S>                                                                  <C>
      Buildings and improvements.......................................... 24-39

</TABLE>
 
  The Company periodically reviews the Hotel property to determine if its
carrying costs will be recovered from future operations and, accordingly,
whether a reduction in carrying value should be recorded. No such reductions
have occurred to date.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
         FOR THE PERIOD FROM MARCH 10, 1995 THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 1995
 
 Cash And Cash Equivalents:
 
  Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash in banks and money
market funds. All highly liquid investments with a maturity date of three
months or less when acquired are considered to be cash equivalents.
 
 Inventories:
 
  Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined
using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method of accounting.
 
 Deferred Expenses:
 
  Deferred expenses consist of hotel acquisition costs and loan origination
fees which are being amortized on the straight-line basis over five years,
which approximates the effective interest method.
 
 Income Taxes:
 
  The Company is treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax
purposes. No provisions have been made for federal and state income taxes in
the accompanying financial statements since such taxes, if any, are the
responsibility of the respective members.
 
 Revenue Recognition:
 
  Revenue is recognized as earned. Ongoing credit evaluations are performed
and an allowance for potential credit losses is provided against the portion
of accounts receivable which is estimated to be uncollectible. Such losses
have been within management's expectations.
 
 Impact Of New Accounting Standards:
 
  In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long
Lived Assets and for Long Lived Assets to be Disposed Of." This statement is
effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 1995. Management believes that adoption of this standard will not have a
material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the
Company.
 
2. ACQUISITION:
 
  On March 10, 1995, the Company purchased the Hotel, a 410-room hotel in
Newport Beach, California, pursuant to a Purchase and Sale Agreement effective
January 17, 1995 for $7,100,000. The acquisition has been accounted for by the
purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the purchase price has been
allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on the
estimated fair values at the date of acquisition as determined by the
Company's management. The estimated fair values of assets and liabilities
acquired in conjunction with this acquisition are summarized as follows:

6. NOTE PAYABLE:
 
  The Company has a $5,000,000 note payable which is collateralized by a deed
of trust on the real and personal property reflected in the accompanying
balance sheet caption "property and equipment, net." This note is subordinate
to the lien of the Ground Lease discussed in Note 7. In addition, the note
payable is guaranteed by the members of the L.L.C. described in Note 1. The
note payable generally bears interest at the lender's prime rate plus .5%
(8.375% at December 31, 1995) and matures on April 1, 2000. Principal and
interest is payable in monthly installments sufficient to repay the unpaid
principal balance of the note in 300 months. Since the note payable matures on
April 1, 2000, a substantial portion of the note will be due on the maturity
date.
 
  The related loan agreement contains various financial and nonfinancial
covenants that, among other things, require the Company to maintain a current
ratio of 1.25 to 1.00 and limit the aggregate amount of capital expenditures
that can be made by the Company. As of December 31, 1995, the Company was in
compliance with all covenants.

7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
 
 Hyatt Agreement:
 
  In conjunction with the acquisition of the Hotel described in Note 2, the
Company executed an Assignment and Assumption of Management Agreement on March
10, 1995 with CSL Newporter Ltd. to assume a June 9, 1989 management agreement
with Hyatt Corporation ("the Hyatt Agreement"). The Hyatt Agreement expires on
December 31, 1999, with four ten-year renewal periods. The Hyatt Agreement
provides for the payment of a management fee to Hyatt Corporation consisting
of a basic fee of 3.5% of gross receipts, as defined in the Hyatt Agreement,
an additional basic fee of .5% of gross receipts, as defined in the Hyatt
Agreement, and an incentive fee of 10% of the amount by which profit, as
defined in the Hyatt Agreement, exceeds $2,000,000. Management fees pursuant
to the above were $690,254 during the period from March 10, 1995 through
December 31, 1995.
 
  In addition, the Hyatt Agreement provides for the allocation of certain
advertising, marketing and reservation related expenses incurred by Hyatt
Corporation to all hotels within the Hyatt chain. These expenses are allocated
based on the total rooms available during the year. In addition, Hyatt
Corporation bills the Hotel on a monthly basis for systems support, training
and human resources related programs and other expenses that directly benefit
the Hotel. During the period from March 10, 1995 through December 31, 1995,
the Hotel incurred expenses of $275,199 related to these allocations, and, at
December 31, 1995, $3,819 is owed to Hyatt Corporation related to these
allocations.
 
  The Hyatt Agreement also requires that a fund for the replacement of and
additions to the Hotel's furniture, fixtures and equipment be maintained in an
interest bearing account. Per the terms of the Hyatt Agreement, the Hotel is
required to fund this account in amounts equal to 4% of gross receipts, as
defined in the Hyatt Agreement, through July 16, 1996, and 5% of gross
receipts, as defined in the Hyatt Agreement, thereafter. As of December 31,
1995, the balance in this account is $3,553 and is included in cash and cash
equivalents in the accompanying balance sheets.
 
 WestCoast Agreement:
 
  The Company also has a management agreement with WestCoast Hotels, owner of
WestCoast Acquisitions, Inc. (the "WestCoast Agreement"). Under the terms of
the WestCoast Agreement, WestCoast Hotels provides certain consulting,
accounting and administrative services to the Company for a monthly management
fee of $6,250. Management fees paid pursuant to this agreement totaled $62,500
during the period from March 10, 1995 through December 31, 1995, and as of
December 31, 1995, $6,250 is owed to WestCoast Hotels.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
         FOR THE PERIOD FROM MARCH 10, 1995 THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 1995
 
 Ground Lease:
 
  In conjunction with the acquisition of the Hotel described in Note 2, the
Company executed an Assignment and Assumption of Ground Lease on March 10,
1995 with CSL Newporter Ltd. to assume an operating lease for the rental of
land on which the Hotel is situated. The term of the lease is for the period
through December 31, 2048 and the lease is subject to an escalation clause for
each five-year period based on the Consumer Price Index, not to exceed 8% per
year compounded annually for the five years then ending. In addition, the
lease requires the Hotel to pay a percentage of its annual sales, as defined
in the related lease agreement, with minimum annual lease payments of
$722,000.
 
  Upon expiration of the term of this lease, or any earlier termination caused
by default or breach by the Company, as defined in the lease agreement, the
Company is required to surrender the leased land and all improvements
constructed and installed thereon. Removable furniture, fixtures and equipment
is required to be returned to the Company by the lessor.
 
8. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
 
  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 requires disclosure
about fair value for all financial instruments whether or not recognized, for
financial statement purposes. Disclosure about fair value of financial
instruments is based on pertinent information available to management as of
December 31, 1995. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data
and develop estimated fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein
are not necessarily indicative of the amount which could be realized on
disposition of the financial instruments. The use of different market
assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the
estimated fair value amounts.
 
 Cash Equivalents:
 
  Management estimates that the fair value of cash equivalents approximate
carrying value due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments and
their high liquidity.
 
 Note Payable:
 
  Management estimates that the fair value of the note payable approximates
carrying value based upon the Company's effective borrowing rate for issuance
of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.
 
 Customer Deposits:
 
  Management estimates that the fair value of customer deposits approximates
carrying value based on their short-term nature.
 
9. CREDIT RISK:
 
  At December 31, 1995, the Company had cash balances in financial
institutions that were in excess of the federally-insured limit of $100,000.
 
10. SUBSEQUENT EVENT:
 
  In March 1996, the Company and Patriot American Hospitality Partnership,
L.P. executed a Purchase and Sale Agreement that provides for the sale of the
Hotel in exchange for $16,998,000 in cash.

examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the Statement of Direct Revenue and Direct Operating Expenses. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the
Statement of Direct Revenue and Direct Operating Expenses. We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
  The accompanying Statement of Direct Revenue and Direct Operating Expenses
has been prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission for inclusion in the registration
statement on Form S-11 of Patriot American Hospitality, Inc. as described in
Note 1, and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the Property's
revenue and expenses.
 
  In our opinion, the statement referred to above presents fairly, in all
material respects, the direct revenue and direct operating expenses as
described in Note 1 of the Plaza Park Suites Hotel for the year ended
December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
 Organization
   
  The Plaza Park Suites Hotel (the "Property"), located in downtown Seattle,
Washington, is a limited-service hotel with 194 rooms and approximately 1,350
square feet of meeting space. The Property is owned by the Plaza Park Suites,
Inc. (the "Corporation"). The Property was constructed in 1989 by the
Corporation in conjunction with a condominium project which is adjacent to the
Property.     
 
 Basis of Presentation
   
  The accompanying Statements of Direct Revenue and Direct Operating Expenses
(the "Statements") have been prepared to substantially comply with the rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for business
combinations accounted for as a purchase. The accompanying Statements include
revenue and expenses directly related to the operations of the Property as
reflected in the records of the Property's management company. The
accompanying Statements, rather than full audited financial statements, are
presented for the Property because the Property was acquired from an
unaffiliated third party in a negotiated transaction and the seller would not
provide complete records supporting the historical costs, indebtedness and
equity. Additionally, the Property, along with an adjacent condominium
project, was constructed by the Corporation, which maintains its financial
records for both facilities on a combined basis. Because it was not
practicable to obtain full audited financial statements for the Property, the
presentation does not include all revenue and expenses of the Corporation, as
they relate to the Property, such as: 1) interest or other income earned on
investments, 2) depreciation expense related to long-lived and short-lived
assets (including the Property and related improvements), 3) amortization
expense related to organizational costs or other deferred expenses of the
Corporation, 4) interest expense incurred on indebtedness of the Property and
amortization of deferred loan costs, and 5) certain Corporation related
general and administrative expenses. Therefore, the Statements are not
representative of the actual operations of the Property for the periods
presented. Included in Note 6 is certain unaudited financial information
related to the items discussed above.     
 
 Interim Unaudited Financial Information
 
  The accompanying statements of Direct Revenue and Direct Operating Expenses
for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1996 are unaudited; however, in
the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal
recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the statement of
Direct Revenue and Direct Operating Expenses for these interim periods have
been included. The results of interim periods are not necessarily indicative
of the results to be obtained for a full year.
 
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
 Capitalization Policy
 
  Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred; major
renewals and betterments are capitalized.
 
 Revenue Recognition
 
  Revenue is recognized as earned. Ongoing credit evaluations are performed
and an allowance for potential credit losses is provided against the portion
of accounts receivable which is estimated to be uncollectible. Such losses
have been within management's expectations.
 
 Seasonality
 
  The hotel industry is seasonal in nature. Generally, revenue at the Property
is greater in the second and third quarters of a calendar year.

31, 1995, and $30,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1996.

fee based on the prior year's experience rating. Reservation fees totalled
$20,107 for the year ended December 31, 1995, and $3,503 and $6,836 for the

NorthWest, Inc. ("Alper"), a company affiliated with the Corporation, to
manage the operations of the Property. A management fee is currently not paid
to Alper, however Alper is reimbursed for certain executive and accounting
salaries. Total reimbursements to Alper were $84,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1995, and $13,500 and $18,500 for the three months ended March
31, 1995 and 1996, respectively, and are included in general and

cash. Additionally, the terms of the purchase agreement provide for the

the Statement of Direct Revenue and Direct Operating Expenses. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates

1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
 Organization
 
  The Roosevelt Hotel (the "Property"), located in downtown Seattle,
Washington, is a full-service hotel with 151 guest rooms, approximately 2,400
square feet of meeting space and a restaurant which is leased to a third
party. The Property was constructed in 1929, and was completely renovated in
1987 upon its acquisition by the current owner. The Property is owned by the
Roosevelt Hotel Limited Partnership (the "Partnership").
 
 Basis of Presentation
 
  The accompanying Statements of Direct Revenue and Direct Operating Expenses
(the "Statements") have been prepared to substantially comply with the rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for business
combinations accounted for as a purchase. The accompanying Statements include
revenue and expenses directly related to the operations of the Property as
reflected in the records of the Property's management company. The
accompanying Statements, rather than full audited financial statements, are
presented for the Property because the Property was acquired from an
unaffiliated third party in a negotiated transaction and the sellers would not
allow access to records supporting the historical costs, indebtedness and
equity of the Property. Because it was not practicable to obtain full audited
financial statements for the Property, the presentation does not include all
revenue and expenses of the Partnership, as they relate to the property, such
as: 1) interest or other income earned on investments of the Partnership, 2)
depreciation expense related to long-lived and short-lived assets (including
the Property and related improvements), 3) amortization expense related to
organizational costs or other deferred expenses of the Partnership, 4)
interest expense incurred on indebtedness of the Property and amortization of
deferred loan costs, and 5) certain Partnership related general and
administrative expenses. Therefore, the Statements are not representative of
the actual operations of the Property for the periods presented. Included in
Note 6 is certain unaudited financial information related to the items
discussed above.
 
 Interim Unaudited Financial Information
 
  The accompanying Statements of Direct Revenue and Direct Operating Expenses
for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1996 are unaudited; however, in
the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal
recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the Statements of
Direct Revenue and Direct Operating Expenses for these interim periods have
been included. The results of interim periods are not necessarily indicative
of the results to be obtained for a full year.

1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
 Organization
 
  The Lexington Hyatt Regency Hotel (the "Property"), located in Lexington,
Kentucky, is a full-service hotel with 365 guest rooms and nine suites,
approximately 22,000 square feet of meeting space and a restaurant. The
Property is part of the Lexington Center Complex (the "Complex"), which
includes Civic Center Shops, the Rupp Arena and Heritage Hall. The Property is
leased by Lexington Hotel and Mall Corporation ("LHMC"), a not-for-profit,
non-stock corporate government agency and instrumentality of the Lexington-
Fayette Urban County Government ("LFUCG"). LHMC was formed on November 29,
1990 to acquire and operate certain leasehold interests in the Property, a
retail mall, and a parking facility, all of which are part of the Complex. The
Property is owned by Lexington Center Corporation ("LCC").
 
 Basis of Presentation
 
  The accompanying Statements of Direct Revenue and Direct Operating Expenses
(the "Statements") have been prepared to substantially comply with the rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for business
combinations accounted for as a purchase. The accompanying Statements include
revenue and expenses directly related to the operations of the Property as
reflected in the records of the Property's management company. The
accompanying Statements, rather than full audited financial statements, are
presented for the Property because the Property, along with an adjoining mall
and parking lot, are leased by LHMC, which maintains its financial records for
all three facilities on a combined basis. Because it was not practicable to
separately present complete audited financial statements of the Property, the
presentation does not include all the revenue and expenses recorded by LHMC,
as they relate to the Property, such as: 1) interest or other income earned on
investments of LHMC, 2) depreciation expense related to long-lived and short-
lived assets (including the Property and related improvements), 3)
amortization expense related to organizational costs or other deferred
expenses of LHMC, 4) interest expense incurred on indebtedness of the Property
and amortization of deferred loan costs, and 5) certain LHMC related general
and administrative expenses. Therefore, the Statements are not representative
of the actual operations of the Property for the periods presented. Included
in Note 7, is certain unaudited financial information related to the items
discussed above.
 
 Interim Unaudited Financial Information
 
  The accompanying statements of Direct Revenue and Direct Operating Expenses
for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1996 are unaudited; however, in
the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal
recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the statement of
Direct Revenue and Direct Operating Expenses for these interim periods have
been included. The results of interim periods are not necessarily indicative
of the results to be obtained for a full year.
 
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
 Capitalization Policy
 
  Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred; major
renewals and betterments are capitalized.

5. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
 
  The Hyatt Corporation maintains a defined benefit savings plan for eligible
employees. LHMC makes annual contributions to the plan equal to 2.1% or 3% of
the participant's annual compensation for hourly and salaried employees,
respectively. In addition, the Hyatt Corporation maintains a 401(k) savings
plan for all eligible employees. Under the 401(k) savings plan, eligible
employees can make pre-tax contributions to the plan ranging from 1-15% of
their annual compensation up to a maximum of $9,240 (subject to certain
exceptions for highly-compensated employees). Eligibility for participation in
both plans is based on the employee's completion of one year of eligible
service, as defined. LHMC made contributions totaling $80,124, $33,124, and
$27,074 for the year ended December 31, 1995, and the three months ended March
31, 1995 and 1996, respectively, which are included in general and
administrative expenses in the accompanying Statements.
 
6. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
 
  On February 7, 1996, LHMC entered into a contract with Patriot American
Hospitality, L.P. ("Patriot") to sell its leasehold interest in the Property
for approximately $14,000,000.

7. UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 
  The following supplemental financial information has been provided on an
unaudited basis. Supporting information was not provided by LHMC.
 
  Additions to furniture, fixtures and equipment ("F, F & E") for the Property
totalled $234,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995. Depreciation expense
related to F, F & E is computed using the straight-line method based on
estimated useful lives ranging from five to ten years. Estimated depreciation
expense related to F, F & E was approximately $681,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1995.
 
  Patriot's estimated allocation of the purchase price will be $12,000,000 to
building and improvements, and $2,000,000 to F, F & E. Expected lives for the
building and improvements and F, F & E are 35 years and 5 to 7 years,
respectively.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
To the Partners of the
   
Wyndham Portfolio Hotels:     
   
  We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of the Wyndham
Portfolio Hotels (as defined in Note 1) as of December 31, 1994 and 1995 and
the related combined statements of income, changes in partners' deficit, and
cash flows for the two years then ended. These combined financial statements
are the responsibility of the Companies' management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these combined 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 combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of the
Wyndham Portfolio Hotels as of December 31, 1994 and 1995, and its combined
results of operations and its cash flows for the two years then ended, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.     
   
  As discussed in Note 1 to the combined financial statements, certain
partnerships which own Wyndham Portfolio Hotels are highly leveraged. In
addition, the Companies' operating liabilities exceed operating assets by
$33,369,398 and $35,762,897 as of December 31, 1994 and 1995, respectively.
These factors as set forth in Note 1 to the combined financial statements,
raise substantial doubt that certain partnerships which own the Wyndham
Portfolio Hotels will be able to continue collectively or individually as a
going concern. The combined financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

                    NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1. ORGANIZATION:
   
  The combined financial statements include the accounts of five partnerships
which own and operate five Wyndham and Wyndham Garden Hotels. Patriot American
Hospitality, Inc. intends to acquire the hotel properties operated by these
entities which are referred to herein as the Wyndham Portfolio Hotels or the
"Companies".     
 
  Following is a listing of the entities and the name and location of the
hotel properties:
 
  HOTEL ENTITY
       
    Houston Greenspoint Hotel Associates (a Texas limited partnership,
    "Greenspoint")     
       
    Novi Garden Hotel Associates (a Texas general partnership, "Novi")     
       
    CLC Partnership (a Texas limited partnership, "Las Colinas")     
       
    Wood Dale Garden Hotel Partnership (a Texas limited partnership, "Wood
    Dale")     
       
    Atlanta Midtown Associates (a Texas general partnership, "Midtown")
        
  PROPERTY NAME AND LOCATION
 
    Wyndham Greenspoint Hotel, Houston, Texas
 
    Wyndham Garden Hotels:
 
      Wyndham Novi, Novi (Detroit), Michigan
 
      Wyndham Las Colinas, Irving, Texas
 
      Wyndham Wood Dale, Wood Dale (Chicago), Illinois
 
      Wyndham Midtown Atlanta, Atlanta, Georgia
 
  A controlling interest in each of the above Companies is owned by Crow
Family Members. Crow Family Members or "Crow" as used herein represents Mr.
and Mrs. Trammell Crow, various descendants of Mr. and Mrs. Trammell Crow, and
various corporations, partnerships, trusts and other entities beneficially
owned or controlled by such persons.
   
  Greenspoint which is 50% owned by Crow Family Members is also managed by a
related entity. The remaining 50% of Greenspoint is owned by an unaffiliated
limited partnership, whose ownership interest is reflected in these
statements. Allocated losses to these limited partners exceed their original
investments, accordingly, no balance of minority interest is reflected herein.
    
  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated
in combination.
 
  The accompanying combined financial statements have been presented on a
going-concern basis which contemplates the realization of operating assets and
satisfaction of operating liabilities in the normal course of business.
   
  Certain partnerships which own Wyndham Portfolio Hotels are highly
leveraged. In addition, the Companies' operating liabilities exceed operating
assets by $33,369,398 and $35,762,897 as of December 31, 1994 and 1995,
respectively. These factors raise substantial doubt that certain partnerships
which own the Wyndham Portfolio Hotels will be able to continue collectively
or individually as a going concern.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
 Use of Estimates and Assumptions
 
  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 dates of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
 Interim Financial Information
   
  The combined balance sheet as of March 31, 1996, the combined statement of
partners' deficit for the three months then ended, and the combined statements
of income and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1996,
have been prepared by the Companies without audit. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (which included only normal, recurring
adjustments) necessary to present fairly the combined financial position at
March 31, 1996, and the combined results of operations and cash flows for all
periods presented have been made. The combined results of operations for the
interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for
the full year.     
 
 Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
  For purposes of reporting cash flows, all highly liquid debt instruments
with original maturities of three months or less are considered to be cash
equivalents.
 
  The Companies maintain cash and cash equivalents in accounts with various
financial institutions in excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation. Cash held in escrow consists primarily of amounts for
taxes and insurance remitted to the lenders which hold mortgages on the hotel
facilities.
 
 Inventories
 
  Inventories consist of food, beverages and supplies and are stated at cost,
which approximates market, with cost determined using the first-in, first-out
method.
 
 Property and Equipment
 
  Buildings are carried at cost and depreciated over forty years using the
straight-line method. Furniture and equipment are recorded at cost and
depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives,
which range from seven to nine years. Normal repairs and maintenance are
charged to expense as incurred.
 
  In 1995, the Companies adopted Financial Accounting Standards No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets
to Be Disposed Of." Impairment losses are recognized in operating income as
they are determined.
 
  The Companies periodically review their property and equipment to determine
if carrying costs will be recovered from future operating cash flows. In cases
when the Companies do not expect to recover carrying costs, the Companies
recognize an impairment loss. No such losses have been recognized to date.
 
 Other Assets
 
  Other assets include deferred financing costs totaling approximately
$376,985 and $263,983 at December 31, 1994 and 1995, respectively, and are
stated net of related amortization. Amortization of deferred

              NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
financing costs is computed using the effective yield method over the lives of
the related loans. The remaining balance consists primarily of security
deposits totaling approximately $142,845 and $147,644 at December 31, 1994 and
1995, respectively, and are stated at cost.
 
 Income Taxes
   
  The Companies are partnerships and are not taxable entities. Accordingly,
the combined results of their operations are included in the tax returns of
the partners. The partnership tax returns and the amount of allocable income
or loss are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities. If
such examinations result in changes to income or loss, the tax liability of
the partners could be changed accordingly.     
 
 Revenue Recognition
 
  Room, food and beverage, telephone and other revenues are recognized when
earned.
 
 Self-Insurance
 
  The Companies are self insured for various levels of general liability,
workers' compensation, work related injury and employee medical coverages.
Accrued expenses include the estimated cost for unpaid incurred claims.
 
 Advertising Costs
 
  The Companies participate in various advertising and marketing programs with
a related party. All costs are expensed in the period incurred. The Companies
recognized advertising expense of $377,324 and $366,441 for the years ended
December 31, 1994 and 1995, respectively.

4. MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
   
  The Companies and Wyndham Hotel Company, Ltd. (the "Operator"), a related
party, entered into management agreements with respect to the hotel properties
that have expiration dates ranging from 2004 to 2008. Pursuant to such
management agreements, the Operator receives a base management fee ranging
from 3% to 4% of gross revenues from hotel operations plus an incentive
management fee. The calculation of incentive management fees varies from
management contract to management contract, but is generally based on a
percentage of a hotel's operating profit or the amount by which the hotel's
operating profit exceeds specified performance results. Due to Operators
includes management fees and other expenses payable to the Operator. As
provided for in the management agreement, cash in excess of amounts required
for on-site operations is held in a central account in the name of an
affiliate.     
 
  The Companies receive sales and marketing, centralized reservations,
accounting and other support services from affiliates which are reimbursed as
an adjustment to management fees in the normal course of business.

              NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
   
  The management agreement of Greenspoint provides for the Caribbean Hotel
Management Company ("CHMC") as the former Operator to advance amounts as
needed for Greenspoint's cash requirements, excluding principal due at
maturity of Greenspoint debt, on an interest-free basis. As of December 31,
1994 and 1995, Greenspoint owed $14,673,589 and $14,607,930, respectively, to
CHMC related to such advances which is included in due to Operators. However,
cash flow from future hotel operations of Greenspoint may not be adequate to
satisfy all of the Greenspoint indebtedness to CHMC.     
 
5. NOTES RECEIVABLE--AFFILIATE:
   
  Notes receivable from an affiliate consists of amounts paid by Midtown to a
lender on behalf of Bristol Hotel Associates, Ltd. ("BHA") an affiliate with
debt cross-collateralized by the property of Midtown. The loan bears interest
at prime plus 2%. Interest receivable at December 31, 1994 and 1995 was $9,640
and $25,165, respectively, and is included in accounts receivable. Interest
payments are due semiannually, and the principal balance is due September 30,
2000.

  The Midtown mortgage note payable requires the maintenance of a certain debt
coverage, if debt coverage requirements are not met, quarterly principal
payments of all net operating income, as defined, less interest payable for
the month and less a reasonable reserve not to exceed $200,000 as defined in
the loan agreement are required. If debt coverage is met, then 50% of profits,
as defined, must be remitted to pay principal on the mortgage note of BHA, an
affiliate whose debt is cross collateralized by the property of Midtown. Such
payments are treated as a loan to the affiliate and bear interest at the
lender's prime rate plus 2%. Payments to the lender on behalf of BHA were
$587,122 and $350,120 during 1994 and 1995, respectively.

reserve and $608,102 and $389,979 in real estate tax insurance escrow,

payment of $119,065 of net cash flows related to August 1994 was also applied
to the principal balance of the loan.
   
  The note payable of Greenspoint to a related party which matured on January
1, 1996 remains outstanding. The Partnership intends to repay this debt with
proceeds of the sale described in Note 11.     
 
  The mortgage note of Novi is cross-collateralized by the property and
equipment of Wood Dale and Las Colinas. The loan agreements provide that the
net cash flow of Wood Dale and Las Colinas, as defined, be utilized first in
reducing the indebtedness of Novi. Repayments of Novi's indebtedness required
by the Wood Dale and Las Colinas net cash flow computations are being paid
directly by Novi. Payment of each respective entity's debt is guaranteed by
certain partners of each respective entity.

Voluntary Employee Benefit Association ("VEBA") for their employees. This plan
is funded to the limits provided in the Internal Revenue Code, and liabilities
have been recorded for unpaid claims. Aggregate and stop loss insurance exists
at amounts which limit exposure to the Companies. The Companies have
recognized expenses under the plan of $181,388, and $189,520 for the years

receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are reasonable estimates of
their fair values. The carrying values of variable and fixed rate debt are
reasonable estimates of their fair values based on their discounted cash flows
at rates currently available to the Companies for debt with similar terms and
remaining maturities. It is impracticable to estimate the fair value of debt
owed to related parties.

  The Companies are subject to environmental regulations related to the
ownership of real estate (hotels). The cost of complying with the
environmental regulations was not material to the Companies' combined
statements of income for either of the two years ended December 31, 1995. The
Companies are not aware of any environmental condition on any of its
properties which is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Companies'
financial statements.
 
11. SUBSEQUENT EVENT:
   
  The Companies have entered into a letter of intent with Patriot American
Hospitality, Inc., a third party real estate investment trust ("REIT"). This
transaction, if consummated, will result in the sale or contribution of the
Companies' hotel properties, equipment, inventory and other assets to the REIT
for approximately $95,500,000 in cash and $500,000 in value of units of
limited partnership interest in Patriot American Hospitality Partnership, L.P.
with approximately $3,000,000 of additional consideration being contingent on
the operating performance of two of the five hotel properties. The hotel
properties and equipment will then be leased by the REIT to a newly formed
affiliate of the Companies. Each lease has an initial term of ten years, with
two five-year renewal options. Annual rent will be equal to the greater of
base rent as calculated or a percentage rent which will be calculated based
upon performance of the hotel properties. Base rent for the five hotels is
estimated to be approximately $13.2 million annually. The leases will require
the lessee to pay substantially all hotel operating expenses except for real
estate taxes and property insurance. The proceeds of the sale will not be
sufficient to repay all of the Companies outstanding debt.

ITEM 33. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
 
  The Articles of Incorporation of the Company, generally, limit the liability
of the Company's directors and officers to the Company and the shareholders
for money damages to the fullest extent permitted from time to time by the
laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Articles of Incorporation also
provide, generally, for the indemnification of directors and officers, among
others, against judgments, settlements, penalties, fines, and reasonable
expenses actually incurred by them in connection with any proceeding to which
they may be made a party by reason of their service in those or other
capacities except in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the
Company in which the director was adjudged liable to the Company or in
connection with any other proceeding, whether or not involving action in his
official capacity, in which he was adjudged liable on the basis that personal
benefit was improperly received by him. Insofar as indemnification for
liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors and
officers of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, the
Company has been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable.
 
  The Company has purchased director and officer liability insurance for the
purpose of providing a source of funds to pay any indemnification described
above.
 
  The Underwriting Agreement will contain certain provisions pursuant to which
certain officers, directors and controlling persons may be entitled to be
indemnified by the underwriters named therein.

ITEM 36. UNDERTAKINGS
 
A. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the provisions referred to in Item 33 of this
Registration Statement, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in
the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities
being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel
the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Act, and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.
 
  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters
at the closing specified in the Underwriting Agreement certificates in such
denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to
permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
 
  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
 
    (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
  post-effective amendment to this registration statement;
 
      (i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
    Securities Act of 1933;
 
      (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
    the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
    post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in
 
                                     II-12
<PAGE>
 
    the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set
    forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any
    increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total
    dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
    registered) and any deviation from the low or high and of the estimated
    maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed
    with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
    changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in
    the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
    Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.
 
      (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
    distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or
    any material change to such information in the registration statement."
 
    (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
  Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
  to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
  therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
  to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
    (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
  any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
  termination of the offering.
 
  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
 
    (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
  1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of
  this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a
  form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or
  (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this
  registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
 
    (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act
  of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus
  shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
  securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
  time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof."

                  REDEMPTION AND REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT


     This Redemption and Registration Rights Agreement (this "Agreement") is
entered into as of April 1, 1996 by and between Patriot American Hospitality,
Inc., a Virginia corporation (the "Company") and the persons listed on Schedule
                                                                       --------
A attached hereto (each a "Holder" and collectively the "Holders").
- -
     WHEREAS, each Holder is an investor, directly or indirectly, in one or more
of the Selling Entities named on Schedule B attached hereto;
                                 ----------

     WHEREAS, the Holders are to receive units of limited partnership interest
("Units") in Patriot American Hospitality Partnership, L.P. (the "Operating
Partnership") pursuant to the purchase agreements listed on Schedule A attached
                                                            ----------
hereto (the "Purchase Agreements"), which Units may be redeemed for shares of
the Company's common stock, no par value ("Common Stock").

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and agreements set
forth herein, and other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

     1. Redemption.

     (a) Section 8.05 of the First Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited
Partnership of the Operating Partnership dated October 2, 1995, as amended (the
"OP Agreement") governs the redemption of the Units. All capitalized terms used
in this Section 1 and in Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement without definition
shall have the definition set forth in the OP Agreement. PAH GP, Inc., a
Virginia corporation, is a signatory to this Agreement for purposes of this
Section 1 only.

     (b) In the event that the Company or PAH GP, Inc. exercises its right to
purchase the Units under Section 8.05(b) with respect to a Notice of Redemption,
the Company and PAH GP, Inc. each agree to notify a Holder within 10 business
days of PAH GP, Inc.'s receipt of such Holder's Notice of Redemption of PAH GP,
Inc.'s or the Company's election to pay the Cash Amount or the REIT Shares
Amount on the Specified Redemption Date with respect to the Units covered by
such Notice of Redemption.

     (c) With respect to the redemption of the Units, the Company and PAH GP,
Inc. each agree not to extend their obligation to pay the Cash Amount beyond the
Specified Redemption Date by the time periods permitted in Section 8.05(d) of
the OP Agreement.

     2. Repurchase of Units or Common Stock. Following receipt of a Notice of
Redemption from a Holder, the Company agrees to repurchase the Units or shares
of Common Stock covered by such Notice of Redemption for the Cash Amount under
the following circumstances:
<PAGE>
 

     (a) If the Registration Statement (as defined below) is not declared
effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission within one hundred twenty
(120) days following PAH GP, Inc.'s receipt of the first Notice of Redemption
relating to the Units.

     (b) If the Registration Statement is not effective on the sixtieth (60th)
day following PAH GP, Inc.'s receipt of any subsequent Notice of Redemption
relating to the Units.

     (c) If Section 8.05 of the OP Agreement is amended in a manner adverse to
the Holders without the Holder's consent.

     A Registration Statement will be considered effective for purposes of this
Section 2 if declared effective by the SEC even if subject to suspension as
provided in Section 9 of this Agreement. The time periods specified in Section
2(a) and (b) shall be extended by one day for each day beyond the 10 day limit
specified in Section 8(a) of this Agreement that Holder fails to provide
information as required by Section 8(a).

     3. Registration.

     (a) Shelf Registration. If, upon the receipt of a Notice of Redemption from
a Holder, the Company elects (in its sole and absolute discretion) to acquire
Units from such Holder by paying the REIT Shares Amount instead of the Cash
Amount, then, the Company shall cause to be filed as soon as practicable
thereafter, a registration statement (a "Shelf Registration Statement") under
Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act")
relating to the sale by each of the Holders of their Registrable Shares in
accordance with the terms hereof. As used in this Agreement, the term
"Registrable Shares" means shares of Common Stock issued or to be issued to the
Holders upon redemption or in exchange for the Units issued pursuant to the
Purchase and Sale Agreement, excluding (A) Common Stock for which a Registration
Statement relating to the issuance or sale thereof shall have become effective
under the Securities Act and which have been issued or disposed of under such
Registration Statement, (B) Common Stock sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the
Securities Act or (C) Common Stock eligible for immediate sale pursuant to Rule
144 under the Securities Act. The Company shall use best efforts to cause such
Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC") for all Registrable Shares as soon as
practicable thereafter. The Company agrees to use best efforts to keep the Shelf
Registration Statement continuously effective until the earliest of (a) the date
on which the Holders no longer hold any Registrable Shares registered under the
Shelf Registration Statement, (b) the date on which all such Registrable Shares
may be sold by the Holders pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities
Act or (c) five years following the date upon which such Shelf Registration
Statement first became effective. The Company shall not be required to file and
effect more than one Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 3(a).

     (b) Registration Statement Covering Issuance of Common Stock. In lieu of
the registration rights set forth in Section 3(a) above, the Company may, in its
sole discretion, prior to April 2, 1997 (or such other date as may be required
under applicable provisions of the Securities Act) file a registration statement
(the "Issuance Registration Statement") under
<PAGE>
 

Rule 415 under the Securities Act relating to the issuance to Holders of shares
of Common Stock upon the redemption or in exchange for such Units. Thereupon,
the Company shall use its best efforts to cause such Issuance Registration
Statement to be declared effective by the SEC for all shares of Common Stock
covered thereby. The Company agrees to use its best efforts to keep the Issuance
Registration Statement continuously effective until five years following the
date upon which such Issuance Registration Statement first became effective. Any
Shelf Registration Statement or Issuance Registration Statement are sometimes
referred to as a "Registration Statement."

     4. Registration Procedures.

     (a) The Company shall promptly notify each Holder of the effectiveness of
the Registration Statement and shall furnish to each Holder such number of
copies of the Registration Statement (including any amendments, supplements and
exhibits), the prospectus contained therein (including each preliminary
prospectus), any documents incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement and such other documents as the Holder may reasonably request in order
to facilitate its sale of the Registrable Shares in the manner described in the
Registration Statement.

     (b) The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC from time to time such
amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and prospectus used in
connection therewith as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement
effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect
to the disposition of all the Registrable Shares until the earlier of (i) such
time as all of the Registrable Shares have been disposed of in accordance with
the intended methods of disposition by the Holders as set forth in the
Registration Statement or (ii) the date on which the Registration Statement
ceases to be effective in accordance with the terms of Section 3. Within fifteen
(15) business days following notice from a Holder, the Company shall file any
supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement with
respect to such Holder's interests in or plan of distribution of Registrable
Shares that is reasonably necessary to permit the sale of the Holder's
Registrable Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement and the Company shall
file any necessary listing applications or amendments to the existing
applications to cause the shares to be then listed or quoted on the primary
exchange or quotation system on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted.

     (c) The Company shall promptly notify each Holder of, and confirm in
writing, any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to the
Registration Statement or the prospectus related thereto or for additional
information. In addition, the Company shall promptly notify each Holder of, and
confirm in writing, the filing of the Registration Statement, any prospectus
supplement related thereto or any post-effective amendment to the Registration
Statement and the effectiveness of any post-effective amendment.

     (d) The Company shall immediately notify each Holder, at any time when a
prospectus relating to the Registration Statement is required to be delivered
under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the
prospectus included in the Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes
an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state
<PAGE>
 

any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading. In such event and subject to paragraph 9 of this Agreement, the
Company shall promptly prepare and furnish to each Holder with a reasonable
number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be
necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of Registrable
Shares, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact
or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are
made, not misleading.

     5. State Securities Laws. Subject to the conditions set forth in this
Agreement, the Company shall, promptly upon the filing of a Registration
Statement including Registrable Shares, file such documents as may be necessary
to register or qualify the Registrable Shares under the securities or "Blue Sky"
laws of such states as any Holder may reasonably request, and the Company shall
use reasonable efforts to cause such filings to become effective; provided,
                                                                  --------
however, that the Company shall not be obligated to qualify as a foreign
- -------
corporation to do business under the laws of any such state in which it is not
then qualified or to file any general consent to service of process in any such
state. The Company shall promptly notify each Holder of, and confirm in writing,
the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of
the qualification of the Registrable Shares for sale under the securities or
"Blue Sky" laws of any jurisdiction or the initiation or threat of any
proceeding for such purpose.

     6. Expenses. The Company shall bear all expenses incurred in connection
with the registration of the Registrable Shares pursuant to this Agreement. Such
expenses shall include, without limitation, all printing, legal and accounting
expenses incurred by the Company and all registration and filing fees imposed by
the SEC, any state securities commission or the New York Stock Exchange or, if
the Common Stock is not then listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the
principal national securities exchange or national market system on which the
Common Stock is then traded or quoted. Holders shall be responsible for any
brokerage or underwriting commissions and taxes of any kind (including, without
limitation, transfer taxes) with respect to any disposition, sale or transfer of
Registrable Shares and for any legal, accounting and other expenses incurred by
them.

     7. Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify each of
the Holders and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents,
representatives and affiliates, and each person or entity, if any, that controls
a Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act, and each other person or
entity, if any, subject to liability because of his, her or its connection with
a Holder, and any underwriter and any person who controls the underwriter within
the meaning of the Securities Act (an "Indemnitee") against any and all losses,
claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs and expenses (including without
limitation reasonable attorneys' fees, expenses and disbursements documented in
writing), joint or several, arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged
untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any
prospectus contained therein, or any omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading, except insofar as and to the extent that such statement or
omission arose out of or
<PAGE>
 

was based upon information regarding the Indemnitee or its plan of distribution
which was furnished to the Company by the Indemnitee for use therein, provided,
further that the Company shall not be liable to any person who participates as
an underwriter in the offering or sale of Registrable Shares or any other
person, if any, who controls such underwriter within the meaning of the
Securities Act, in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim,
damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises
out of or is based upon (i) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission made in such Registration Statement, any such
preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or
supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the
Company for use in connection with the Registration Statement or the prospectus
contained therein by such Indemnitee or (ii) such Indemnitee's failure to send
or give a copy of the final prospectus furnished to it by the Company at or
prior to the time such action is required by the Securities Act to the person
claiming an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission if such statement or omission was corrected in such final prospectus.

     8. Covenants of Holders. Each of the Holders hereby agrees (a) to cooperate
with the Company and to furnish to the Company within 10 days of request all
such information in connection with the preparation of the Registration
Statement and any filings with any state securities commissions as the Company
may reasonably request, (b) to deliver or cause delivery of the prospectus
contained in the Registration Statement to any purchaser of the shares covered
by the Registration Statement from the Holder, (c) to notify the Company of any
sale of Registrable Securities by such Holder, and (d) to indemnify the Company,
its officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives and affiliates, and
each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the
Securities Act, and each other person, if any, subject to liability because of
his connection with the Company, against any and all losses, claims, damages,
actions, liabilities, costs and expenses arising out of or based upon (i) any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in
either Registration Statement or the prospectus contained therein, or any
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, if and to the extent
that such statement or omission arose out of or was based upon information
regarding the Holder or its plan of distribution which was furnished to the
Company by the Holder expressly for use therein, or (ii) the failure by the
Holder to deliver or cause to be delivered the prospectus contained in the
Registration Statement (as amended or supplemented, if applicable) furnished by
the Company to the Holder to any purchaser of the shares covered by the
Registration Statement from the Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) in no
event will a Holder have any obligation under this Section 6 for amounts the
Company pays in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action
if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld) and (ii) the total amount for which a Holder
shall be liable under this Section 6 shall not in any event exceed the aggregate
proceeds received by him or it from the sale of the Holder's Registrable Shares
in such registration.
<PAGE>
 

     9. Suspension of Registration Requirement.

     (a) The Company shall promptly notify each Holder of, and confirm in
writing, the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness
of the Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that
purpose. The Company shall use reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of
any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement at the
earliest possible moment.

     (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement,
the Company's obligation under this Agreement to use its best efforts to cause
the Registration Statement and any filings with any state securities commission
to be made or to become effective or to amend or supplement the Registration
Statement shall be suspended in the event and during such period that the
Company is in possession of material, nonpublic information, as to which the
Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving confidentiality or which
renders the Company unable to comply with SEC requirements (such circumstances
being hereinafter referred to as a "Suspension Event") that would make it
impractical or unadvisable to cause the Registration Statement or such filings
to be made or to become effective or to amend or supplement the Registration
Statement, but such suspension shall continue only for so long as such event or
its effect is continuing but in no event will that suspension exceed 60 days.
The Company agrees not to exercise the rights set forth in this Section 7(b)
more than twice in any year. The Company shall notify the Holder of the
existence of any Suspension Event.

     (c) Each holder of Registrable Shares whose Registrable Shares are covered
by a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 3 hereof agrees, if
requested by the Company in the case of a nonunderwritten offering (a
"Nonunderwritten Offering") or if requested by the managing underwriter or
underwriters in an underwritten offering (an "Underwritten Offering,"
collectively with Nonunderwritten Offering, the "Offering"), not to effect any
public sale or distribution of any of the securities of the Company of any class
included in such Offering, including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A
under the Securities Act (except as part of such Underwritten Offering), during
the 15-day period prior to, and during the 45-day period beginning on, the date
of pricing of each Offering, to the extent timely notified in writing by the
Company or the managing underwriters.

     10. Black-Out Period. Following the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement and the filings with any state securities commissions, the Holders
agree that they will not effect any sales of the Registrable Shares pursuant to
the Registration Statement or any such filings at any time after they have
received notice from the Company to suspend sales as a result of the occurrence
or existence of any Suspension Event, during any Offering or so that the Company
may correct or update the Registration Statement or such filing pursuant to
Section 4(c) or 4(d). The Holder may recommence effecting sales of the
Registrable Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement or such filings
following further notice to such effect from the Company, which notice shall be
given by the Company not later than five (5) days after the conclusion of any
such Suspension Event or Offering.
<PAGE>
 

     11. Additional Shares. The Company, at its option, may register, under any
registration statement and any filings with any state securities commissions
filed pursuant to this Agreement, any number of unissued shares of Common Stock
or any shares of Common Stock owned by any other shareholder or shareholders of
the Company.

     12. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Sections 7 and 8
is unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any losses, claims,
damages, actions, liabilities, costs or expenses referred to therein or is
insufficient to hold the indemnified party harmless as contemplated therein,
then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party,
shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a
result of such losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs or expenses
in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the
Company, on the one hand, and the Holder, on the other hand, in connection with
the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages,
actions, liabilities, costs or expenses as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of the
Holder, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other
factors, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or
omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company
or by the Holder and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission;
provided, however, that in no event shall the obligation of any indemnifying
- --------  -------
party to contribute under this Section 12 exceed the amount that such
indemnifying party would have been obligated to pay by way of indemnification if
the indemnification provided for under Sections 7 or 8 hereof had been available
under the circumstances.

     The Company and the Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable
if contribution pursuant to this Section 12 were determined by pro rata
allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of
the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph.

     No indemnified party guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any indemnifying party who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation.

     13. No Other Obligation to Register. Except as otherwise expressly provided
in this Agreement, the Company shall have no obligation to the Holders to
register the Registrable Shares under the Securities Act.

     14. Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may not be
amended, modified or supplemented without the prior written consent of the
Company and all of the Holders.

     15. Notices. Except as set forth below, all notices and other
communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall
be deemed to have been duly given if delivered personally or sent by telex or
telecopier, registered or certified mail (return receipt requested), postage
prepaid or courier or overnight delivery service to the Company at the following
address and to the Holder at the address set forth in Schedule A attached hereto

confirm such notice in writing by overnight express delivery with confirmation
of receipt:

hereunder with respect to such Holder.

     17. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which
when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken

                          REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT


     This REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT is made as of this 15th day of May,
1996, by and between Patriot American Hospitality, Inc., a Virginia corporation
(the "Company"), and LaSalle Advisors Limited Partnership, a registered
investment advisor (the "Investor"), as agent for and for the benefit of a
single client (the "Pecuniary Owner").

                                    RECITALS

     WHEREAS, the Company and the Investor (for the benefit of the Pecuniary
Owner and another Client) are parties to a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the
"Purchase Agreement") of even date herewith; and

     WHEREAS, in order to induce the Investor to invest funds in the Company
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and to induce the Company to enter into the
Purchase Agreement, the Investor and the Company hereby agree that this
Agreement shall govern the rights of the Investor and the Pecuniary Owner to
cause the Company to register shares of the Company's common stock, no par value
per share, purchased pursuant to the Purchase Agreement on behalf of the
Pecuniary Owner (the "Common Stock");

     NOW, THEREFORE, THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

I.   REGISTRATION RIGHTS

     The Company covenants and agrees as follows:

     1.1 Definitions.

     For purposes of this Section 1:

     (a) The terms "register," "registered," and "registration" refer to a
registration effected by preparing and filing a registration statement or
similar document in compliance with the Act, and the declaration or ordering of
effectiveness of such registration statement or document;

     (b) The term "Registrable Securities" means (1) the Common Stock issued and
sold to the Investor pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and (2) any Common
Stock of the Company issued as (or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of
any warrant, right or other security which is issued as) a dividend or other
distribution with respect to, or in exchange for or in replacement of, such
Common Stock, excluding in all cases, however, any Registrable Securities sold
by a person in a transaction in which its rights under this Section 1 are not
assigned;

     (c) The term "Act" means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any
successor legislation thereto.
<PAGE>
 

     (d) The term "Holder" shall mean the beneficial holder from time to time of
Registrable Securities.

     1.2 Demand Registration.

     If the Company shall receive, at any time after the expiration of six (6)
months following the date of issuance of the Common Stock pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement (the "Original Issue Date") during which the Company is not
eligible to use Securities and Exchange Commission Form S-3 ("Form S-3"), and
before the fourth anniversary of the Original Issue Date, one or more written
requests from a Holder that the Company file a registration statement under the
Act covering Registrable Securities then outstanding for which the expected
aggregate offering price to the public net of underwriter's discounts and
commissions, if any, would exceed $1,000,000, then the Company shall use its
reasonable efforts to file as soon as practicable, and shall, in any event, file
within sixty (60) days of the receipt of such request, a registration statement
under the Act covering the Registrable Securities requested to be registered in
such notice and, at the Company's option, all additional Registrable Securities
that were not requested to be registered in such notice, and, shall keep such
registration statement in effect for a period of at least ninety (90) days;
provided, however, that if the Company determines in good faith that, due to
business interests or pending transactions, it would not be in the Company's
best interests to file such registration statement at that time, the Company may
direct that such request for registration be delayed for a period not in excess
of sixty (60) days. The Company shall in no event be required to file more than
two registration statements under this Section 1.2.

     1.3 Shelf Registration.

     At any time after the expiration of six (6) months following the Original
Issue Date during which the Company is eligible to use Form S-3, if the Company
shall receive a written request from a Holder that the Company file a shelf
registration statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form) under Rule 415 under
the Act (or any successor rule) covering Registrable Securities then
outstanding, then the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to file as soon
as practicable, and shall, in any event, file within sixty (60) days of the
receipt of such request, a shelf registration statement under the Act covering
the Registrable Securities requested to be registered in such notice and, at the
Company's option all additional Registrable Securities that were not requested
to be registered in such notice, and shall maintain the effectiveness of such
registration statement until the earlier of (a) the date immediately following
the date on which all shares registered thereunder have been sold or (b) the
fourth anniversary of the Original Issue Date, subject to Section 1.4; provided,
however, that if the Company determines in good faith that, due to business
interests or pending transactions, it would not be in the Company's best
interests to file such registration statement at that time, the Company may
direct that such request for registration be delayed for a period not in excess
of sixty (60) days.

     1.4 Suspension of Registration Statement.

     (a) The Company shall promptly notify each Holder of, and confirm in
writing, the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness
of the registration
<PAGE>
 

statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose. The Company
shall use its best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the
effectiveness of the registration statement at the earliest possible moment.

     (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement,
the Company's obligation under this Agreement to use its best efforts to cause
the registration statement and any filings with any state securities commission
to become effective or to amend or supplement the registration statement shall
be suspended in the event and during such period as either of the following
circumstances exist: (i) an underwritten primary offering by the Company if the
Company is advised by the underwriters that sale of Registrable Securities under
the registration statement would have a material adverse effect on the primary
offering or (ii) pending negotiations relating to, or consummation of, a
transaction or the occurrence of an event that would require additional
disclosure of material information by the Company in the registration statement
or such filing, as to which the Company has a bona fide business purpose for
preserving confidentiality or which renders the Company unable to comply with
SEC requirements (such circumstances being hereinafter referred to as a
"Suspension Event") that would make it impractical or inadvisable to cause the
registration statement or such filings to become effective or to amend or
supplement the registration statement, but such suspension shall continue only
for so long as such event or its effect is continuing but in no event will that
suspension exceed 90 days. The Company shall notify the Holder of the existence
and, in the case of circumstances referred to in clause (i) of this Section
1.4(b), nature of any Suspension Event.

     1.5 Black-Out Period.

     Following the effectiveness of the registration statement and the filings
with any state securities commissions, the Holders agree that they will not
effect any sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration
statement or any such filings at any time after they have received notice from
the Company to suspend sales as a result of the occurrence or existence of any
Suspension Event or so that the Company may correct or update the registration
statement or filing. The Holders may recommence effecting sales of the
Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement or such filings
following further notice to such effect from the Company, which notice shall be
given by the Company no later than 5 days after the conclusion of any such
Suspension Event.

II.  OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY

     Whenever required under Section 1 to effect the registration of any
Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably
possible but in no event later than the time set forth in Section 1:

     (a) Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to
such of the Registrable Securities as are set forth in the request, and cause
such registration statement to become effective and use its best efforts to keep
such registration statement effective for the period set forth in Section 1.2 or
1.3, as applicable.
<PAGE>
 

     (b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such
registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such
registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the
Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such
registration statement.

     (c) Furnish to the Holder such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including
a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Act, and
such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the
disposition of Registrable Securities owned by the Holder (or its assignee).

     (d) Use its best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by
such registration statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such
jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Investor, provided that
the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition
thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of
process in any such states or jurisdictions.

     (e) In the event the registration statement is used in an underwritten
public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting
agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter of such
offering, provided that the Investor has also entered into and performed its
obligations under such an agreement.

     (f) Notify the Holder, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is
required to be delivered under the Act, of the happening of any event as a
result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then
in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing.

III. FURNISH INFORMATION

     The Company's obligation to cause any registration statement to become
effective in connection with distribution of any Registrable Securities pursuant
to Section 1 shall be contingent upon the Investor, with reasonable promptness,
furnishing to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable
Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such
securities, as shall be required to effect the registration of the Registrable
Securities.

IV.  INDEMNIFICATION

     In the event of any registration under this Agreement:

     (a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold
harmless the Investor, the Pecuniary Owner, any underwriter (as defined in the
Act) for the Investor and each person, if any, who controls the Investor, the
Pecuniary Owner or underwriter within the meaning of the Act or the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), against any losses, claims,
damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject
under the Act, or the 1934 Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such
losses,
<PAGE>
 

claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or
are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (each a
"Violation"): (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact contained in such registration statement, including any preliminary
prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or
supplements thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the
Company of the Act, the 1934 Act, any state securities law or any rule or
regulation promulgated under the Act, the 1934 Act or any state securities law;
and the Company will pay to the Investor, underwriter or controlling person, as
incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection
with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or
action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this
subsection (a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss,
claim, damage, liability, or action if such settlement is effected without the
consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor
shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage,
liability, or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a
Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by
the Investor, the Pecuniary Owner, underwriter or controlling person.

     (b) To the extent permitted by law, the Investor, as agent for and on
behalf of the Pecuniary Owner, will indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent
of the proceeds received by the Investor, as agent for and on behalf of the
Pecuniary Owner, the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who
has signed the registration statement, each person, if any, who controls the
Company within the meaning of the Act, any underwriter, any other shareholder of
the Company selling securities in such registration statement and any
controlling person of any such underwriter or other shareholder, against any
losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the
foregoing persons may become subject, under the Act, or the 1934 Act or other
federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities
(or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in
each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by the
Investor, as agent for and on behalf of the Pecuniary Owner, expressly for use
in connection with such registration; and the Investor, as agent for and on
behalf of the Pecuniary Owner, will pay, as incurred, any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by any person intended to be indemnified pursuant
to this subsection (b) in connection with investigating or defending any such
loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity
agreement contained in this subsection (b) shall not apply to amounts paid in
settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such
settlement is effected without the consent of the Investor (which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld); provided, that, in no event shall any indemnity
under this subsection (b) exceed the gross proceeds from the offering (excluding
underwriting discounts and commissions) received by the Investor, as agent for
and on behalf of the Pecuniary Owner.

     (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section of
notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action),
such indemnified party
<PAGE>
 

will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party
under this Section, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the
commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to
participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly
with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense
thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however,
that an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties which may
be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain
one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying
party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by
the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential
differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party
represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written
notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of
any such action, if materially prejudicial to its ability to defend such action,
shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party
under this Section, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the
indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any
indemnified party otherwise than under this Section. No indemnifying party under
this Agreement shall enter into any settlement or consent to any entry of
judgment which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by
the claimant or plaintiff to the indemnified party of a release from all
liability in respect of such claim or litigation.

     (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section is held by a court
of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect
to any loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense referred to therein, then the
indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder,
shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a
result of such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the
one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the
Violation or Violations that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage, or
expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative
fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined
by reference to, among other things, whether the Violation relates to
information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and
the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity
to correct or prevent such Violation.

     (e) The obligations of the Company and the Investor, as agent for and on
behalf of the Pecuniary Owner, under this Section shall survive the completion
of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement under
Section 1, and otherwise.

V.   EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION

     All expenses incurred in connection with any registration, qualification or
compliance pursuant to Section 1, including, without limitation, all
registration, filing and qualification fees, printing expenses, fees and
disbursements of counsel for the Company and expenses of any special audits
incidental to or required by such registration, qualification or compliance
shall be borne by the Company, except that the Company shall not be required to
pay
<PAGE>
 

underwriters' fees, discounts, commissions, or stock transfer taxes relating to
the Registrable Securities or the fees and disbursements of counsel to the
Holder.

                          REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT


     This REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT is made as of this 15th day of May,
1996, by and between Patriot American Hospitality, Inc., a Virginia corporation
(the "Company"), and LaSalle Advisors Limited Partnership, a registered
investment advisor (the "Investor"), for the benefit of a single client (the
"Pecuniary Owner").

                                    RECITALS

     WHEREAS, the Company, Patriot American Hospitality Partnership, L.P. (the
"Partnership") and the Investor (for the benefit of the Pecuniary Owner and
another Client) are parties to a Preferred Unit Purchase Agreement (the
"Preferred Unit Purchase Agreement") and a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the
"Common Stock Purchase Agreement") of even date herewith (collectively, the
"Purchase Agreements"); and

     WHEREAS, in order to induce the Investor to invest funds in the Partnership
and the Company pursuant to the Purchase Agreements and to induce the Company
and the Partnership to enter into the Purchase Agreements, the Investor and the
Company hereby agree that this Agreement shall govern the rights of the Investor
and the Pecuniary Owner to cause the Company to register shares of the Company's
common stock, no par value per share (the "Common Stock") received by the
Investor on behalf of the Pecuniary Owner in exchange for the Partnership's
Preferred Units (the "Preferred Units") pursuant to the Preferred Unit Purchase
Agreement and shares of Common Stock purchased on behalf of the Pecuniary Owner
pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement;

     NOW, THEREFORE, THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

I.   REGISTRATION RIGHTS

     The Company covenants and agrees as follows:

     1.1 Definitions.

     For purposes of this Section 1:

     (a) The terms "register," "registered," and "registration" refer to a
registration effected by preparing and filing a registration statement or
similar document in compliance with the Act, and the declaration or ordering of
effectiveness of such registration statement or document;

     (b) The term "Registrable Securities" means (1) the Common Stock issuable
or issued upon exchange of the Partnership's Preferred Units issued and sold
pursuant to the Preferred Unit Purchase Agreement, (2) the Common Stock issued
and sold to the Investor pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, and
(3) any Common Stock of the Company issued as (or issuable upon the conversion
or exercise of any warrant, right or other security which is issued
<PAGE>
 

as) a dividend or other distribution with respect to, or in exchange for or in
replacement of, such Preferred Units or Common Stock, excluding in all cases,
however, any Registrable Securities sold by a person in a transaction in which
its rights under this Section 1 are not assigned;

     (c) The term "Act" means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any
successor legislation thereto.

     (d) The term "Holder" shall mean the beneficial holder from time to time of
Registrable Securities.

     1.2 Demand Registration.

     If the Company shall receive, at any time following the date of issuance of
the Preferred Units and Common Stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreements (the
"Original Issue Date") during which the Company is not eligible to use
Securities and Exchange Commission Form S-3 ("Form S-3"), and before the fourth
anniversary of the Original Issue Date, one or more written requests from a
Holder that the Company file a registration statement under the Act covering
Registrable Securities then outstanding for which the expected aggregate
offering price to the public net of underwriter's discounts and commissions, if
any, would exceed $1,000,000, then the Company shall use its reasonable efforts
to file as soon as practicable, and shall, in any event, file within sixty (60)
days of the receipt of such request, a registration statement under the Act
covering the Registrable Securities requested to be registered in such notice
and, at the Company's option all additional Registrable Securities that were not
requested to be registered in such notice, and, shall keep such registration
statement in effect for a period of at least ninety (90) days; provided,
however, that if the Company determines in good faith that, due to business
interests or pending transactions, it would not be in the Company's best
interests to file such registration statement at that time, the Company may
direct that such request for registration be delayed for a period not in excess
of sixty (60) days. The Company shall not be required to honor a request by the
Investor under this Section 1.2 to register Common Stock to be obtained in
exchange for Preferred Units unless the Holder has given prior notice of its
intent to exchange Preferred Units into the Common Stock sought to be
registered. The Company shall in no event be required to file more than two
registration statements under this Section 1.2.

     1.3 Shelf Registration.

     At any time following the Original Issue Date during which the Company is
eligible to use Form S-3, if the Company shall receive a written request from a
Holder that the Company file a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (or any
successor form) under Rule 415 under the Act (or any successor rule) covering
the Registrable Securities then outstanding, then the Company shall use its
reasonable efforts to file as soon as practicable, and shall, in any event, file
within sixty (60) days of the receipt of the request, a shelf registration
statement under the Act covering the Registrable Securities requested to be
registered in such notice and, at the Company's option all additional
Registrable Securities that were not requested to be registered in such notice,
and, shall maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement until the
earlier of (a) the date immediately following the date on which all shares
registered thereunder have been sold or (b) the fourth anniversary of the
Original Issue Date subject to Section 1.4; provided, however, that
<PAGE>
 

if the Company determines in good faith that, due to business interests or
pending transactions, it would not be in the Company's best interests to file
such registration statement at that time, the Company may direct that such
request for registration be delayed for a period not in excess of sixty (60)
days. The Company shall not be required to honor a request by the Investor under
this Section 1.3 to register Common Stock to be obtained in exchange for
Preferred Units unless the Investor has given prior notice of its intent to
convert the Preferred Units into the Common Stock sought to be registered.

     1.4 Suspension of Registration Statement.

     (a) The Company shall promptly notify each Holder of, and confirm in
writing, the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness
of the registration statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that
purpose. The Company shall use its best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any
order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement at the earliest
possible moment.

     (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement,
the Company's obligation under this Agreement to use its best efforts to cause
the registration statement and any filings with any state securities commission
to become effective or to amend or supplement the registration statement shall
be suspended in the event and during such period as either of the following
circumstances exist: (i) an underwritten primary offering by the Company if the
Company is advised by the underwriters that sale of Registrable Securities under
the registration statement would have a material adverse effect on the primary
offering or (ii) pending negotiations relating to, or consummation of, a
transaction or the occurrence of an event that would require additional
disclosure of material information by the Company in the registration statement
or such filing, as to which the Company has a bona fide business purpose for
preserving confidentiality or which renders the Company unable to comply with
SEC requirements (such circumstances being hereinafter referred to as a
"Suspension Event") that would make it impractical or inadvisable to cause the
registration statement or such filings to become effective or to amend or
supplement the registration statement, but such suspension shall continue only
for so long as such event or its effect is continuing but in no event will that
suspension exceed 90 days. The Company shall notify the Holder of the existence
and, in the case of circumstances referred to in clause (i) of this Section
1.4(b), nature of any Suspension Event.

     1.5 Black-Out Period.

     Following the effectiveness of the registration statement and the filings
with any state securities commissions, the Holders agree that they will not
effect any sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration
statement or any such filings at any time after they have received notice from
the Company to suspend sales as a result of the occurrence or existence of any
Suspension Event or so that the Company may correct or update the registration
statement or filing. The Holder may recommence effecting sales of the
Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement or such filings
following further notice to such effect from the Company, which notice shall be
given by the Company no later than 5 days after the conclusion of any such
Suspension Event.
<PAGE>
 

II.  OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY

     Whenever required under Section 1 to effect the registration of any
Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably
possible but in no event later than the time set forth in Section 1:

     (a) Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to
such of the Registrable Securities as are set forth in the request, and cause
such registration statement to become effective and use its best efforts to keep
such registration statement effective for the period set forth in Section 1.2 or
1.3, as applicable.

     (b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such
registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such
registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the
Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such
registration statement.

     (c) Furnish to the Holder such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including
a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Act, and
such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the
disposition of Registrable Securities owned by the Holder (or its assignee).

     (d) Use its best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by
such registration statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such
jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Investor, provided that
the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition
thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of
process in any such states or jurisdictions.

     (e) In the event the registration statement is used in an underwritten
public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting
agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter of such
offering, provided that the Investor has also entered into and performed its
obligations under such an agreement.

     (f) Notify the Holder, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is
required to be delivered under the Act, of the happening of any event as a
result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then
in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing.


III. FURNISH INFORMATION

     The Company's obligation to cause any registration statement to become
effective in connection with distribution of any Registrable Securities pursuant
to Section 1 shall be contingent upon the Investor, with reasonable promptness,
furnishing to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable
Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such
securities, as shall be required to effect the registration of the Registrable
Securities.
<PAGE>
 

IV.  INDEMNIFICATION

     In the event of any registration under this Agreement:

     (a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold
harmless the Investor, the Pecuniary Owner, any underwriter (as defined in the
Act) for the Investor and each person, if any, who controls the Investor, the
Pecuniary Owner or underwriter within the meaning of the Act or the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), against any losses, claims,
damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject
under the Act, or the 1934 Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such
losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise
out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or
violations (each a "Violation"): (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement, including
any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any
amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged
violation by the Company of the Act, the 1934 Act, any state securities law or
any rule or regulation promulgated under the Act, the 1934 Act or any state
securities law; and the Company will pay to the Investor, underwriter or
controlling person, as incurred, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred
by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim,
damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement
contained in this subsection (a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement
of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action if such settlement is
effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any
such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action to the extent that it arises out
of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity
with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such
registration by the Investor, Pecuniary Owner, underwriter or controlling
person.

     (b) To the extent permitted by law, the Investor, as agent for and on
behalf of the Pecuniary Owner, will indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent
of the proceeds received by the Investor, as agent for and on behalf of the
Pecuniary Owner, the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who
has signed the registration statement, each person, if any, who controls the
Company within the meaning of the Act, any underwriter, any other shareholder of
the Company selling securities in such registration statement and any
controlling person of any such underwriter or other shareholder, against any
losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the
foregoing persons may become subject, under the Act, or the 1934 Act or other
federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities
(or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in
each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by the
Investor, as agent for and on behalf of the Pecuniary Owner, expressly for use
in connection with such registration; and the Investor, as agent for and on
behalf of the Pecuniary Owner, will pay, as incurred, any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by any person intended to be indemnified pursuant
to this subsection (b) in connection with investigating or defending any such
loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however,
<PAGE>
 

that the indemnity agreement contained in this subsection (b) shall not apply to
amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action
if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Investor (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided, that, in no event shall
any indemnity under this subsection (b) exceed the gross proceeds from the
offering (excluding underwriting discounts and commissions) received by the
Investor, as agent for and on behalf of the Pecuniary Owner.

     (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section of
notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action),
such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against
any indemnifying party under this Section, deliver to the indemnifying party a
written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have
the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so
desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume
the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided,
however, that an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties
which may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right
to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the
indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel
retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or
potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party
represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written
notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of
any such action, if materially prejudicial to its ability to defend such action,
shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party
under this Section, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the
indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any
indemnified party otherwise than under this Section. No indemnifying party under
this Agreement shall enter into any settlement or consent to any entry of
judgment which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by
the claimant or plaintiff to the indemnified party of a release from all
liability in respect of such claim or litigation.

     (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section is held by a court
of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect
to any loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense referred to therein, then the
indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder,
shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a
result of such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the
one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the
Violation or Violations that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage, or
expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative
fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined
by reference to, among other things, whether the Violation relates to
information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and
the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity
to correct or prevent such Violation.

     (e) The obligations of the Company and the Investor, as agent for and on
behalf of the Pecuniary Owner, under this Section shall survive the completion
of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement under
Section 1, and otherwise.
<PAGE>
 

V.   EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION

     All expenses incurred in connection with any registration, qualification or
compliance pursuant to Section 1, including, without limitation, all
registration, filing and qualification fees, printing expenses, fees and
disbursements of counsel for the Company and expenses of any special audits
incidental to or required by such registration, qualification or compliance
shall be borne by the Company, except: (i) that the Company shall not be
required to pay underwriters' fees, discounts, commissions, or stock transfer
taxes relating to the Registrable Securities or the fees and disbursements of
counsel to the Holder; and (ii) all costs associated with a request for
registration pursuant to Sections 1.2 and 1.3 shall be borne by the Holder if

                                                      June , 1996

Patriot American Hospitality, Inc.
3030 LBJ Freeway, Suite 1500
Dallas, TX 75234

Ladies and Gentlemen:

       This opinion is furnished in connection with the registration, pursuant
to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), of 5,000,000
shares (5,750,000 shares if the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised
in full) (the "Shares") of Common Stock, no par value per share ("Common
Stock"), of Patriot American Hospitality, Inc, a Virginia corporation (the
"Company").

       In connection with rendering this opinion, we have examined the Articles
of incorporation, as amended, and the Bylaws, as amended, of the Company; such
records of the corporate proceedings of the Company as we deemed material; a
registration statement on Form S-11 under the Securities Act relating to the
Shares, No. 333-04587, as amended (the "Registration Statement"), and the
offering prospectus contained therein (the "Prospectus") and such other
certificates, receipts, records and documents as we considered necessary for the
purposes of this opinion.

       We are attorneys admitted to practice in The Commonwealth of
Massachusetts. We express no opinion concerning the laws of any jurisdictions
other than the laws of the United States of America and The Commonwealth of
Massachusetts. With respect to matters of Virginia law, we have relied upon the
opinion of Hunton & Williams.

       Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that when the Shares have
been issued and paid for in accordance with the terms of the Prospectuses, the
Shares will be legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of the
Company's Common Stock.

       The foregoing assumes that all requisite steps will be taken to comply
with the requirements of the Securities Act and applicable requirements of state
laws regulating the offer and sale of securities.

Dallas, TX 75234

      Re:  Public Offering of 5,750,000 shares of Common Stock, no par value.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     This opinion is delivered to you in our capacity as counsel to Patriot
American Hospitality, Inc. (the "Company") in connection with the Company's
registration statement on Form S-11 filed by the Company with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on May 24, 1996 (No. 333-04587), as amended (the
"Registration Statement"), relating to the public offering of 5,750,000 shares
of the Company's common stock (the "Offering").  This opinion relates to the
Company's qualification for federal income tax purposes as a real estate
investment trust (a "REIT") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "Code"), for taxable years commencing with the Company's taxable year
ending December 31, 1995.

     We have relied upon the representations of an officer of the Company
regarding the manner in which the Company and its affiliates have been and will
be owned and operated. We have neither independently investigated nor verified
such representations, and this opinion is expressly conditioned upon the
accuracy of such representations.  We assume that the Company has been and will
be operated in accordance with applicable laws and the terms and conditions of
applicable documents and that the descriptions of the Company and its actual and
proposed activities, operations and governance set forth in the Registration
Statement are true, correct and complete.

     In rendering the following opinion, we have examined the Company's Amended
and Restated Articles of Incorporation and the By-Laws of the Company and such
other records, certificates and documents, each as amended, as we have deemed
necessary or appropriate for purposes of rendering the opinion set forth herein.

     In rendering the opinion set forth herein, we have assumed (i) the
genuineness of all signatures on documents we have examined, (ii) the
authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, (iii) the conformity
to the original documents of all documents submitted to us

as copies, (iv) the conformity of final documents to all documents submitted to
us as drafts, (v) the authority and capacity of the individual or individuals
who executed any such documents on behalf of any person, (vi) the accuracy and
completeness of all records made available to us and (vii) the factual accuracy
of all representations, warranties and other statements made by all parties.  We
also have assumed, without investigation, that all documents, certificates,
representations, warranties and covenants on which we have relied in rendering
the opinion set forth below and that were given or dated earlier than the date
of this letter continue to remain accurate, insofar as relevant to the opinion
set forth herein, from such earlier date through and including the date of this
letter and that all representations made to the "best knowledge" of any
person(s), or subject to similar qualification, are true and complete as if made
without such qualification.

     The opinion set forth below is based upon the Code, the Income Tax
Regulations and Procedure and Administration Regulations promulgated thereunder
and existing administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, all as they
exist at the date of this letter.  All of the foregoing statutes, regulations
and interpretations are subject to change, in some circumstances with
retroactive effect; any changes to the foregoing authorities might result in
modifications of our opinion contained herein.

     Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and provided that the Company
makes a valid and timely election to be taxed as a REIT and continues to meet
the applicable asset composition, source of income, shareholder diversification,
distribution, record keeping and other requirements of the Code necessary for a
corporation to qualify as a REIT, we are of the opinion that:

     1.   Commencing with the taxable year ending December 31, 1995, the Company
          has been organized and operated in conformity with the requirements
          for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code, and its
          proposed method of operation will enable the Company to continue to
          meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under
          the Code.

     2.   The statements in the Registration Statement set forth under the
          caption "Federal Income Tax Considerations" fairly summarize the
          federal income tax consequences that are likely to be material to a
          holder of the Company's common stock.

     We express no opinion other than that expressly set forth herein.
Furthermore, the Company's qualification as a REIT depends on the Company
meeting, and having met, the applicable asset composition, source of income,
shareholder diversification, distribution, record keeping and other requirements
of the Code necessary for a corporation to qualify as a REIT.  We have not and
will not review these operations, and no assurance can be given that the actual
operations of the Company and its affiliates have met or will meet these
requirements or the representations made to us with respect thereto.  Our
opinion is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS may disagree with the opinion
contained herein.  Except as specifically discussed above, the opinion expressed
herein is based upon the law as it currently exists.  Consequently, future
changes in the law may cause the federal income tax treatment of the
transactions described herein to be materially and adversely different from that
described above.

     We consent to being named as counsel to the Company in the Registration
Statement, to the references in the Registration Statement to our firm and to
the inclusion of a copy of this opinion letter as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement.

                                    Very truly yours,

                                   ---------

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, of mutual covenants
between the parties hereto, and of other good and valuable consideration, the

                  ---------------------------------------------
                  (i) General. The General Partner is hereby authorized to cause
                      -------
the Partnership to issue such additional Partnership Interests in the form of
Partnership Units for any Partnership purpose at any time or from time to time,
to the Partners (including the General Partner and PAH LP) or to other Persons
for such consideration and on such terms and conditions as shall be established
by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion, all without the
approval of any Limited Partners. Any additional Partnership Interests issued
thereby may be issued in one or more classes, or one or more series of any of
such classes, with such designations, preferences and relative, participating,
optional or other special rights, powers and duties, including rights, powers
and duties senior to Limited Partnership Interests, all as shall be determined
by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion and without the
approval of any Limited Partner, subject to Virginia law, including, without
limitation, (i) the allocations of items of Partnership income, gain, loss,
deduction and credit to each such class or series of Partnership Interests; (ii)
the right of each such class or series of Partnership Interests to share in

                                   - 11 -
<PAGE>
 


provided, however, that no additional Partnership Interests shall be issued to
- --------  -------
the General Partner or PAH LP unless either:

            (1)(A) the additional Partnership Interests are issued in connection
      with an issuance of REIT Shares of or other interests in the Company,
      which shares or interests have designations, preferences and other rights,
      all such that the economic interests are substantially similar to the
      designations, preferences and other rights of the additional Partnership
      Interests issued to the General Partner or PAH LP by the Partnership in
      accordance with this Section 4.02 and (B) the General Partner or PAH LP
      shall make a Capital Contribution to the Partnership in an amount equal to
      the proceeds raised in connection with the issuance of such shares of
      stock of or other interests in the Company, or

            (2) the additional Partnership Interests are issued to all Partners
      in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.

Without limiting the foregoing, the General Partner is expressly authorized to
cause the Partnership to issue Partnership Units for less than fair market
value, so long as the General Partner concludes in good faith that such issuance
is in the best interests of the General Partner and the Partnership.

                  (ii) Upon Issuance of Additional Securities. After the
                       --------------------------------------
Offering, the Company shall not issue any additional REIT Shares (other than
REIT Shares issued in connection with a redemption pursuant to Section 8.05
hereof) or rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities
containing the right to subscribe for or purchase REIT Shares (collectively,
"Additional Securities") other than to all holders of REIT Shares, unless (A)
the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to issue to the General Partner
and PAH LP, as the Company may designate, Partnership Interests or rights,
options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities of the Partnership
having designations, preferences and other rights, all such that the economic
interests are substantially similar to those of the Additional Securities, and
(B) the Company contributes the proceeds from the issuance of such Additional
Securities and from any exercise of rights contained in such Additional
Securities, through the General Partner and PAH LP to the Partnership; provided,
                                                                       --------
however, that the Company is allowed to issue Additional Securities in
- -------
connection with an acquisition of a property to be held directly by the Company,
but if and only if, such direct acquisition and issuance of Additional
Securities have been approved and determined to be in the best interests of the
Company and the Partnership by a majority of the Independent Directors. Without
limiting the foregoing, the Company is expressly authorized to issue Additional
Securities for less than fair market value, and to cause the Partnership to
issue to the General Partner corresponding Partnership Interests, so long as (x)
the General Partner concludes in good faith that such issuance is in the best
interests of the General Partner and the Partnership, including without
limitation, the issuance of REIT Shares and corresponding Partnership Units
pursuant to an employee stock purchase plan providing for employee purchases of
REIT Shares at a discount from fair market value or employee stock options that
have an exercise price that is

                                   - 12 -
<PAGE>
 


less than the fair market value of the REIT Shares, either at the time of
issuance or at the time of exercise, and (y) the Company contributes all
proceeds from such issuance, through the General Partner and PAH LP, to the
Partnership. For example, in the event the Company issues REIT Shares for a cash
purchase price and contributes all of the proceeds of such issuance, through the
General Partner and PAH LP, to the Partnership as required hereunder, the
General Partner and PAH LP, as the Company may so designate, shall be issued a
number of additional Partnership Units equal to the product of (A) the number of
such REIT Shares issued by the Company, the proceeds of which were so
contributed, multiplied by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is 100%, and
the denominator of which is the Conversion Factor in effect on the date of such
contribution.

            (b) Certain Deemed Contributions of Proceeds of Issuance of REIT
                ------------------------------------------------------------
Shares. In connection with any and all issuances of REIT Shares, the Company
- ------
shall contribute all of the proceeds raised in connection with such issuance to
the General Partner and PAH LP, as the Company determines, and in turn, the
General Partner and PAH LP shall make Capital Contributions to the Partnership
of such proceeds, provided that if the proceeds actually received and
                  -------- ----
contributed by the Company to the General Partner and PAH LP are less than the
gross proceeds of such issuance as a result of any underwriter's discount or
other expenses paid or incurred in connection with such issuance, then the
General Partner and PAH LP shall be deemed to have made Capital Contributions to
the Partnership in the aggregate amount of the gross proceeds of such issuance
and the Partnership shall be deemed simultaneously to have paid such offering
expenses in connection with the required issuance of additional Partnership
Units to the General Partner and PAH LP for such Capital Contributions pursuant
to Section 4.02(a) hereof.

            (c) Minimum Limited Partnership Interest. In the event that either a
                ------------------------------------
redemption pursuant to Section 8.05 hereof or additional Capital Contributions
by the General Partner and PAH LP would result in the Limited Partners (other
than PAH LP), in the aggregate, owning less than the Minimum Limited Partnership
Interest, the General Partner and the Limited Partners shall form another
partnership and contribute sufficient Limited Partnership Interests together
with such other Limited Partners so that the limited partners (other than PAH
LP) of such partnership own at least the Minimum Limited Partnership Interest.

      4.03 Additional Funding. If the General Partner determines that it is in
           ------------------
the best interests of the Partnership to provide for additional Partnership
funds ("Additional Funds") for any Partnership purpose, the General Partner may
(i) cause the Partnership to obtain such funds from outside borrowings, or (ii)
elect to have the General Partner or PAH LP provide such Additional Funds to the
Partnership through loans or otherwise.

      4.04 Capital Accounts. A separate capital account (a "Capital Account")
           ----------------
shall be established and maintained for each Partner in accordance with
Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). If (i) a new or existing Partner
acquires an additional Partnership Interest in exchange for more than a de
                                                                        --
minimis Capital Contribution, (ii) the Partnership distributes to a
- -------

                                   - 13 -
<PAGE>
 


Partner more than a de minimis amount of Partnership property as consideration
                    ----------
for a Partnership Interest, or (iii) the Partnership is liquidated within the
meaning of Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), the General Partner shall
revalue the property of the Partnership to its fair market value (taking into
account Section 7701(g) of the Code) in accordance with Regulations Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f). When the Partnership's property is revalued by the General
Partner, the Capital Accounts of the Partners shall be adjusted in accordance
with Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) and (g), which generally require
such Capital Accounts to be adjusted to reflect the manner in which the
unrealized gain or loss inherent in such property (that has not been reflected
in the Capital Accounts previously) would be allocated among the Partners
pursuant to Section 5.01 if there were a taxable disposition of such property
for its fair market value (taking into account Section 7701(g) of the Code) on
the date of the revaluation.

      4.05 Percentage Interests. If the number of outstanding Partnership Units
           --------------------
increases or decreases during a taxable year, each Partner's Percentage Interest
shall be adjusted to a percentage equal to the number of Partnership Units held
by such Partner divided by the aggregate number of outstanding Partnership
Units. If the Partners' Percentage Interests are adjusted pursuant to this
Section 4.05, the Profits and Losses for the taxable year in which the
adjustment occurs shall be allocated between the part of the year ending on the
day when the Partnership's property is revalued by the General Partner and the
part of the year beginning on the following day either (i) as if the taxable
year had ended on the date of the adjustment or (ii) based on the number of days
in each part. The General Partner, in its sole discretion, shall determine which
method shall be used to allocate Profits and Losses for the taxable year in
which the adjustment occurs. The allocation of Profits and Losses for the
earlier part of the year shall be based on the Percentage Interests before
adjustment, and the allocation of Profits and Losses for the later part shall be
based on the adjusted Percentage Interests.

      4.06 No Interest on Contributions. No Partner shall be entitled to
           ----------------------------
interest on its Capital Contribution.

      4.07 Return of Capital Contributions. No Partner shall be entitled to
           -------------------------------
withdraw any part of its Capital Contribution or its Capital Account or to
receive any distribution from the Partnership, except as specifically provided
in this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided herein, there shall be no
obligation to return to any Partner or withdrawn Partner any part of such
Partner's Capital Contribution for so long as the Partnership continues in
existence.

      4.08 No Third Party Beneficiary. No creditor or other third party having
           --------------------------
dealings with the Partnership shall have the right to enforce the right or
obligation of any Partner to make Capital Contributions or loans or to pursue
any other right or remedy hereunder or at law or in equity, it being understood
and agreed that the provisions of this Agreement shall be solely for the benefit
of, and may be enforced solely by, the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns. None of the rights or obligations of the Partners herein
set forth to make Capital Contributions or loans to the Partnership shall be
deemed an asset of the

Partnership for any purpose by any creditor or other third party, nor may such
rights or obligations be sold, transferred or assigned by the Partnership or
pledged or encumbered by the Partnership to secure any debt or other obligation
of the Partnership or of any of the Partners. In addition, it is the intent of
the parties hereto that no distribution to any Limited Partner shall be deemed a
return of money or other property in violation of the Act. However, if any court
of competent jurisdiction holds that, notwithstanding the provisions of this
Agreement, any Limited Partner is obligated to return such money or property,
such obligation shall be the obligation of such Limited Partner and not of the
General Partner. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a deficit
Capital Account of a Partner shall not be deemed to be a liability of such
Partner nor an asset or property of the Partnership.

      4.09 Stock Incentive Plans. (a) If grants of REIT Shares are made in
           ---------------------
connection with a Stock Incentive Plan:

                  (i) The Company, through the General Partner and PAH LP, shall
contribute, as soon as practicable after such grant, to the Partnership (to be
thereafter taken into account for the purposes of calculating any cash
distributable to the Partners), an amount equal to the price, if any, paid to
the Company by the party receiving such REIT Shares;

                  (ii) The Partnership shall issue to the General Partner and
PAH LP an aggregate number of additional Partnership Units equal to the product
of (1) the number of such REIT Shares issued by the Company, multiplied by (2) a
                                                             -------------
fraction, the numerator of which is 100%, and the denominator of which is the
Conversion Factor in effect on the date of such contribution; and

                  (iii) The General Partner's and PAH LP's Percentage Interest
and the Percentage Interests of the other Limited Partners shall be adjusted as
set forth in Section 4.02.

            (b) If stock options granted in connection with a Stock Incentive
Plan are exercised:

                  (i) The Company, through the General Partner and PAH LP, shall
contribute, as soon as practicable after such exercise, to the Partnership (to
be thereafter taken into account for purposes of calculating any cash
distributable to the Partners), an amount equal to the exercise price, if any,
paid to the Company by the exercising party in connection with the exercise of
the option or warrant;

                  (ii) The Partnership shall issue to the General Partner and
PAH LP an aggregate number of additional Partnership Units equal to the product
of (1) the number of REIT Shares issued by the Company in satisfaction of such
exercised option or warrant, multiplied by (2) a fraction, the numerator of
                             -------------
which is 100%, and the denominator of which is the Conversion Factor in effect
on the date of such contribution; and

                  (iii) The General Partner's and PAH LP's Percentage Interest
and the Percentage Interests of the other Limited Partners shall be adjusted as
set forth in Section 4.02.

            (c) If the Company grants any director, officer or employee share
appreciation rights, performance share awards or other similar rights
("Incentive Rights"), then simultaneously, the Partnership shall grant the
General Partner and PAH LP corresponding and economically equivalent rights.
Consequently, upon the cash payment by the Company to its directors, officers or
employees pursuant to such Incentive Rights, the Partnership shall make an equal
cash payment to the General Partner and PAH LP.

                      ---------------------------------

      5.01  Allocation of Profit and Loss.
            -----------------------------

            (a) General. Profit and Loss of the Partnership for each fiscal year
                -------
of the Partnership shall be allocated among the Partners in accordance with
their respective Percentage Interests.

            (b) Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any provision to the
                -----------------------
contrary, (i) any expense of the Partnership that is a "nonrecourse deduction"
within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(1) shall be allocated in
accordance with the Partners' respective Percentage Interests, (ii) any expense
of the Partnership that is a "partner nonrecourse deduction" within the meaning
of Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(2) shall be allocated in accordance with
Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(1), (iii) if there is a net decrease in
Partnership Minimum Gain within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-2(f)(1)
for any Partnership taxable year, items of gain and income shall be allocated
among the Partners in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and the
ordering rules contained in Regulations Section 1.704-2(j), and (iv) if there is
a net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain within the meaning of
Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) for any Partnership taxable year, items of
gain and income shall be allocated among the Partners in accordance with
Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and the ordering rules contained in
Regulations Section 1.704-2(j). A Partner's "interest in partnership profits"
for purposes of determining its share of the nonrecourse liabilities of the
Partnership within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3) shall be
such Partner's Percentage Interest.

            (c) Qualified Income Offset. If a Limited Partner receives in any
                -----------------------
taxable year an adjustment, allocation, or distribution described in
subparagraphs (4), (5), or (6) of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) that
causes or increases a negative balance in such Partner's Capital Account that
exceeds the sum of such Partner's shares of Partnership Minimum Gain and Partner
Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, as determined in accordance

                                   - 16 -
<PAGE>
 


with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g) and 1.704-2(i), such Partner shall be
allocated specially for such taxable year (and, if necessary, later taxable
years) items of income and gain in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate
such negative Capital Account balance as quickly as possible as provided in
Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d). After the occurrence of an allocation
of income or gain to a Limited Partner in accordance with this Section 5.01(c),
to the extent permitted by Regulations Section 1.704-1(b), items of expense or
loss shall be allocated to such Partner in an amount necessary to offset the
income or gain previously allocated to such Partner under this Section 5.01(c).

            (d) Capital Account Deficits. Loss shall not be allocated to a
                ------------------------
Limited Partner to the extent that such allocation would cause a deficit in such
Partner's Capital Account (after reduction to reflect the items described in
Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6)) to exceed the sum of
such Partner's shares of Partnership Minimum Gain and Partner Nonrecourse Debt
Minimum Gain. Any Loss in excess of that limitation shall be allocated to the
General Partner. After the occurrence of an allocation of Loss to the General
Partner in accordance with this Section 5.01(d), to the extent permitted by
Regulations Section 1.704-1(b), Profit shall be allocated to such Partner in an
amount necessary to offset the Loss previously allocated to such Partner under
this Section 5.01(d).

            (e) Allocations Between Transferor and Transferee. If a Partner
                ---------------------------------------------
transfers any part or all of its Partnership Interest, the distributive shares
of the various items of Profit and Loss allocable among the Partners during such
fiscal year of the Partnership shall be allocated between the transferor and the
transferee Partner either (i) as if the Partnership's fiscal year had ended on
the date of the transfer, or (ii) based on the number of days of such fiscal
year that each was a Partner without regard to the results of Partnership
activities in the respective portions of such fiscal year in which the
transferor and the transferee were Partners. The General Partner, in its sole
discretion, shall determine which method shall be used to allocate the
distributive shares of the various items of Profit and Loss between the
transferor and the transferee Partner.

            (f) Definition of Profit and Loss. "Profit" and "Loss" and any items
                -----------------------------
of income, gain, expense, or loss referred to in this Agreement shall be
determined in accordance with federal income tax accounting principles, as
modified by Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv), except that Profit and Loss
shall not include items of income, gain and expense that are specially allocated
pursuant to Section 5.01(b), 5.01(c), or 5.01(d). All allocations of income,
Profit, gain, Loss, and expense (and all items contained therein) for federal
income tax purposes shall be identical to all allocations of such items set
forth in this Section 5.01, except as otherwise required by Section 704(c) of
the Code and Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4). The General Partner shall have
the authority to elect the method to be used by the Partnership for allocating
items of income, gain, and expense as required by Section 704(c) of the Code and
such election shall be binding on all Partners.

      5.02  Distribution of Cash.
            --------------------

            (a) The General Partner shall distribute cash on a quarterly (or, at
the election of the General Partner, more frequent) basis, in an amount
determined by the General Partner in its sole discretion, to the Partners who
are Partners on the Partnership Record Date with respect to such quarter (or
other distribution period) in accordance with their respective Percentage
Interests on the Partnership Record Date.

            (b) In no event may a Partner receive a distribution of cash with
respect to a Partnership Unit if such Partner is entitled to receive a dividend
with respect to a REIT Share for which all or part of such Partnership Unit has
been or will be exchanged.

      5.03 REIT Distribution Requirements. The General Partner shall use its
           ------------------------------
reasonable efforts to cause the Partnership to distribute amounts sufficient to
enable the Company to pay shareholder dividends that will allow the Company to
(i) meet its distribution requirement for qualification as a REIT as set forth
in Section 857(a)(1) of the Code and (ii) avoid any federal income or excise tax
liability imposed by the Code.

      5.04 No Right to Distributions in Kind. No Partner shall be entitled to
           ---------------------------------
demand property other than cash in connection with any distributions by the
Partnership.

      5.05 Limitations on Return of Capital Contributions. Notwithstanding any
           ----------------------------------------------
of the provisions of this Article V, no Partner shall have the right to receive
and the General Partner shall not have the right to make, a distribution that
includes a return of all or part of a Partner's Capital Contributions, unless
after giving effect to the return of a Capital Contribution, the sum of all
Partnership liabilities, other than the liabilities to a Partner for the return
of his Capital Contribution, does not exceed the fair market value of the
Partnership's assets.

      5.06  Distributions Upon Liquidation.
            ------------------------------

            (a) Upon liquidation of the Partnership, after payment of, or
adequate provision for, debts and obligations of the Partnership, including any
Partner loans, any remaining assets of the Partnership shall be distributed to
all Partners with positive Capital Accounts in accordance with their respective
positive Capital Account balances. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the
Capital Account of each Partner shall be determined after all adjustments made
in accordance with Sections 5.01 and 5.02 resulting from Partnership operations
and from all sales and dispositions of all or any part of the Partnership's
assets. Any distributions pursuant to this Section 5.06 shall be made by the end
of the Partnership's taxable year in which the liquidation occurs (or, if later,
within 90 days after the date of the liquidation). To the extent deemed
advisable by the General Partner, appropriate arrangements (including the use of
a liquidating trust) may be made to assure that adequate funds are available to
pay any contingent debts or obligations.


                                   - 18 -
<PAGE>
 


            (b) If the General Partner has a negative balance in its Capital
Account following a liquidation of the Partnership, as determined after taking
into account all Capital Account adjustments in accordance with Sections 5.01
and 5.02 resulting from Partnership operations and from all sales and
dispositions of all or any part of the Partnership's assets, the General Partner
shall contribute to the Partnership an amount of cash equal to the negative
balance in its Capital Account and such cash shall be paid or distributed by the
Partnership to creditors, if any, and then to the Limited Partners in accordance
with Section 5.06(a). Such contribution by the General Partner shall be made by
the end of the Partnership's taxable year in which the liquidation occurs (or,
if later, within 90 days after the date of the liquidation).

      5.07 Substantial Economic Effect. It is the intent of the Partners that
           ---------------------------
the allocations of Profit and Loss under the Agreement have substantial economic
effect (or be consistent with the Partners' interests in the Partnership in the
case of the allocation of losses attributable to nonrecourse debt) within the
meaning of Section 704(b) of the Code as interpreted by the Regulations
promulgated pursuant thereto. Article V and other relevant provisions of this
Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with such intent.

      6.01  Management of the Partnership.
            -----------------------------

            (a) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the

                  (ii) to construct buildings and make other improvements on the

            of the Partnership's assets so leased are to be occupied by the
            lessee, or, in turn, subleased in whole or in part to others, for
            such consideration and on such terms as the General Partner may
            determine;

                  (vi) to prosecute, defend, arbitrate, or compromise any and

            determine, and similarly to prosecute, settle or defend litigation
            with respect to the Partners, the Partnership, or the Partnership's
            assets; provided, however, that the General Partner may not, without

            limitation, all actions consistent with allowing the Company at all
            times to qualify as a REIT unless the Company voluntarily terminates
            its REIT status) and to possess and enjoy all of the rights and
            powers of a general partner as provided by the Act.

            (b) Except as otherwise provided herein, to the extent the duties of
the General Partner require expenditures of funds to be paid to third parties,
the General Partner shall not have any obligations hereunder except to the
extent that partnership funds are reasonably available to it for the performance
of such duties, and nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize or
require the General Partner, in its capacity as such, to expend its individual
funds for payment to third parties or to undertake any individual liability or
obligation on behalf of the Partnership.

     6.02 Delegation of Authority. The General Partner may delegate any or all
          -----------------------
of its powers, rights and obligations hereunder, and may appoint, employ,
contract or otherwise deal with any Person for the transaction of the business
of the Partnership, which Person may, under supervision of the General Partner,
perform any acts or services for the Partnership as the General Partner may
approve.

      6.03  Indemnification and Exculpation of Indemnitees.
            ----------------------------------------------

            (a) The Partnership shall indemnify an Indemnitee from and against
any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses
(including reasonable legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, settlements,
and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or
proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, that relate to
the operations of the Partnership as set forth in this Agreement in which any
Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or
otherwise, unless it is established that: (i) the act or omission of the
Indemnitee was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and either
was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate
dishonesty; (ii) the Indemnitee actually received an improper personal benefit
in money, property or services; or (iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding,
the Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was
unlawful. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order or settlement
does not create a presumption that the Indemnitee did not meet the requisite
standard of conduct set forth in this Section 6.03(a). The termination of any
proceeding by conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or
an entry of an order of probation prior to judgment, creates a rebuttable
presumption that the Indemnitee acted in a manner contrary to that specified in
this Section 6.03(a). Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall be
made only out of the assets of the Partnership.

            (b) The Partnership shall reimburse an Indemnitee for reasonable
expenses incurred by an Indemnitee who is a party to a proceeding in advance of
the final disposition of the proceeding upon receipt by the Partnership of (i) a
written affirmation by the Indemnitee of the Indemnitee's good faith belief that
the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Partnership as
authorized in this Section 6.03 has been met, and (ii) a written undertaking by
or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay the amount if it shall ultimately be
determined that the standard of conduct has not been met.

            (c) The indemnification provided by this Section 6.03 shall be in
addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee or any other Person may be
entitled under any agreement, pursuant to any vote of the Partners, as a matter
of law or otherwise, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to
serve in such capacity.

            (d) The Partnership may purchase and maintain insurance, on behalf
of the Indemnitees and such other Persons as the General Partner shall
determine, against any liability that may be asserted against or expenses that
may be incurred by such Person in connection with the Partnership's activities,
regardless of whether the Partnership would have the power to indemnify such
Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement.

            (e) For purposes of this Section 6.03, the Partnership shall be
deemed to have requested an Indemnitee to serve as fiduciary of an employee
benefit plan whenever the performance by it of its duties to the Partnership
also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves

                                   - 22 -
<PAGE>
 


services by, it to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan; excise
taxes assessed on an Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan
pursuant to applicable law shall constitute fines within the meaning of this
Section 6.03; and actions taken or omitted by the Indemnitee with respect to an
employee benefit plan in the performance of its duties for a purpose reasonably
believed by it to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of
the plan shall be deemed to be for a purpose which is not opposed to the best
interests of the Partnership.

            (f) In no event may an Indemnitee subject the Limited Partners to
personal liability by reason of the indemnification provisions set forth in this
Agreement.

            (g) An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in
part under this Section 6.03 because the Indemnitee had an interest in the
transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction
was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

            (h) The provisions of this Section 6.03 are for the benefit of the
Indemnitees, their heirs, successors, assigns and administrators and shall not
be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons.

      6.04  Liability of the General Partner.
            --------------------------------

            (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this
Agreement, the General Partner shall not be liable for monetary damages to the
Partnership or any Partners for losses sustained or liabilities incurred as a
result of errors in judgment or of any act or omission if the General Partner
acted in good faith.

            (b) The Limited Partners expressly acknowledge that the General
Partner is acting on behalf of the Partnership, the Company and the Company's
shareholders collectively, that the General Partner is under no obligation to
consider the separate interests of the Limited Partners (including, without
limitation, the tax consequences to Limited Partners) in deciding whether to
cause the Partnership to take (or decline to take) any actions. In the event of
a conflict between the interests of the shareholders of the Company on one hand
and the Limited Partners on the other, the General Partner shall endeavor in
good faith to resolve the conflict in a manner not adverse to either the
shareholders of the Company or the Limited Partners; provided, however, that for
so long as the Company, through PAH GP and PAH LP, owns a controlling interest
in the Partnership, any such conflict that cannot be resolved in a manner not
adverse to either the shareholders of the Company or the Limited Partners shall
be resolved in favor of the shareholders. The General Partner shall not be
liable for monetary damages for losses sustained, liabilities incurred, or
benefits not derived by Limited Partners in connection with such decisions,
provided that the General Partner has acted in good faith.

            (c) Subject to its obligations and duties as General Partner set
forth in Section 6.01 hereof, the General Partner may exercise any of the powers
granted to it under this Agreement and perform any of the duties imposed upon it
hereunder either directly or by or through its agents. The General Partner shall
not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such
agent appointed by it in good faith.

            (d) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or the
Act, any action of the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership or any
decision of the General Partner to refrain from acting on behalf of the
Partnership, undertaken in the good faith belief that such action or omission is
necessary or advisable in order (i) to protect the ability of the Company to
continue to qualify as a REIT or (ii) to prevent the Company from incurring any
taxes under Section 857, Section 4981, or any other provision of the Code, is
expressly authorized under this Agreement and is deemed approved by all of the
Limited Partners.

            (e) Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 6.04 or
any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect
the limitations on the General Partner's liability to the Partnership and the
Limited Partners under this Section 6.04 as in effect immediately prior to such
amendment, modification or repeal with respect to matters occurring, in whole or
in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when
claims relating to such matters may arise or be asserted.

      6.05 Expenditures by Partnership. The General Partner is hereby authorized
           ---------------------------
to pay compensation for accounting, administrative, legal, technical, management
and other services rendered to the Partnership. All of the aforesaid
expenditures (including Administrative Expenses) shall be made on behalf of the
Partnership, and the General Partner shall be entitled to reimbursement by the
Partnership for any expenditure (including Administrative Expenses) incurred by
it on behalf of the Partnership which shall be made other than out of the funds
of the Partnership. The Partnership shall also assume, and pay when due, all
Administrative Expenses.

      6.06 Outside Activities. Subject to Section 6.08 hereof, the Articles of
           ------------------

be entitled to and may have business interests and engage in business activities
in addition to those relating to the Partnership, including business interests
and activities substantially similar or identical to those of the Partnership.
Neither the Partnership nor any of the Limited Partners shall have any rights by
virtue of this Agreement in any such business ventures, interest or activities.
None of the Limited Partners nor any other Person shall have any rights by
virtue of this Agreement or the partnership relationship established hereby in
any such business ventures, interests or activities, and the General Partner
shall have no obligation pursuant to this Agreement to offer any interest in any
such business ventures, interests and activities to the Partnership or any
Limited Partner, even if such opportunity is of a character which, if presented
to the Partnership or any Limited Partner, could be taken by such Person.

      6.07  Employment or Retention of Affiliates.
            -------------------------------------
            
            (a) Any Affiliate of the General Partner may be employed or retained
by the Partnership and may otherwise deal with the Partnership (whether as a
buyer, lessor, lessee, manager, furnisher of goods or services, broker, agent,
lender or otherwise) and may receive from the Partnership any compensation,
price, or other payment therefor which the General Partner determines to be fair
and reasonable.

            (b) The Partnership may lend or contribute to its Subsidiaries or
other Persons in which it has an equity investment, and such Persons may borrow
funds from the Partnership, on terms and conditions established in the sole and
absolute discretion of the General Partner. The foregoing authority shall not
create any right or benefit in favor of any Subsidiary or any other Person.

            (c) The Partnership may transfer assets to joint ventures, other
partnerships, corporations or other business entities in which it is or thereby
becomes a participant upon such terms and subject to such conditions as the
General Partner deems are consistent with this Agreement and applicable law.

            (d) Except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, neither the
General Partner nor any of its Affiliates shall sell, transfer or convey any
property to, or purchase any property from, the Partnership, directly or
indirectly, except pursuant to transactions that are on terms that are fair and
reasonable to the Partnership.

      6.08 General Partner Participation. The General Partner agrees that all
           -----------------------------
business activities of the General Partner, including activities pertaining to
the acquisition, development or ownership of hotels or other property, shall be
conducted through the Partnership or one or more Subsidiary Partnerships;
provided, however, that the Company is allowed to make a direct acquisition, but
- --------  -------
if and only if, such acquisition is made in connection with the issuance of
Additional Securities, which direct acquisition and issuance have been approved
and determined to be in the best interests of the Company and the Partnership by
a majority of the Independent Directors.

      6.09 Title to Partnership Assets. Title to Partnership assets, whether
           ---------------------------
real, personal or mixed and whether tangible or intangible, shall be deemed to
be owned by the Partnership as an entity, and no Partner, individually or
collectively, shall have any ownership interest in such Partnership assets or
any portion thereof. Title to any or all of the Partnership assets may be held
in the name of the Partnership, the General Partner or one or more nominees, as
the General Partner may determine, including Affiliates of the General Partner.
The General Partner hereby declares and warrants that any Partnership assets for
which legal title is held in the name of the General Partner or any nominee or
Affiliate of the General Partner shall be held by the General Partner for the
use and benefit of the Partnership in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement; provided, however, that the General Partner shall use its best
           --------  -------
efforts to cause beneficial and record title to such assets to be vested in the
Partnership as soon

                                   - 25 -
<PAGE>
 


as reasonably practicable. All Partnership assets shall be recorded as the
property of the Partnership in its books and records, irrespective of the name
in which legal title to such Partnership assets is held.

      6.10 Miscellaneous. In the event the Company redeems any REIT Shares, then
           -------------
the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to purchase from the General
Partner and PAH LP a number of Partnership Units as determined based on the
application of the Conversion Factor on the same terms that the Company redeemed
such REIT Shares. Moreover, if the Company makes a cash tender offer or other
offer to acquire REIT Shares, then the General Partner shall cause the
Partnership to make a corresponding offer to the General Partner and PAH LP to
acquire an equal number of Partnership Units held by the General Partner and PAH
LP. In the event any REIT Shares are redeemed by the Company pursuant to such
offer, the Partnership shall redeem an equivalent number of the General
Partner's and PAH LP's Partnership Units for an equivalent purchase price based
on the application of the Conversion Factor.

                          CHANGES IN GENERAL PARTNER
                          --------------------------

      7.01  Transfer of the General Partner's Partnership Interest.
            ------------------------------------------------------

            (a) The General Partner shall not transfer all or any portion of its
General Partnership Interest or withdraw as General Partner except as provided
in Section 7.01(c) or in connection with a transaction described in Section
7.01(d).

            (b) The General Partner agrees that it and PAH LP will at all times
own in the aggregate at least a 20% Percentage Interest.

            (c) Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.06(b) or Section
7.01(d) hereof, the Company shall not engage in any merger, consolidation or
other combination with or into another Person or sale of all or substantially
all of its assets, or any reclassification, or any recapitalization or change of
outstanding REIT Shares (other than a change in par value, or from par value to
no par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination of REIT Shares) (a
"Transaction"), unless (i) the Transaction also includes a merger of the
Partnership or sale of substantially all of the assets of the Partnership as a
result of which all Limited Partners will receive for each Partnership Unit an
amount of cash, securities, or other property equal to the product of the
Conversion Factor and the greatest amount of cash, securities or other property
paid in the Transaction to a holder of one REIT Share in consideration of one
REIT Share, provided that if, in connection with the Transaction, a purchase,
            -------------
tender or exchange offer ("Offer") shall have been made to and accepted by the
holders of more than 50% of the outstanding REIT Shares, each holder of
Partnership Units shall be given the option to exchange its Partnership Units
for the greatest amount of cash, securities, or other property which a Limited
Partner would have received had it (A) exercised its Redemption Right and

                                   - 26 -
<PAGE>
 


(B) sold, tendered or exchanged pursuant to the Offer the REIT Shares received
upon exercise of the Redemption Right immediately prior to the expiration of the
Offer; and (ii) no more than 75% of the equity securities of the acquiring
Person in such Transaction shall be owned, after consummation of such
Transaction, by the General Partner or Persons who were Affiliates of the
Partnership or the General Partner immediately prior to the date on which the
Transaction is consummated.

            (d) Notwithstanding Section 7.01(c), the Company or the General
Partner may merge with or into or consolidate with another entity if immediately
after such merger or consolidation (i) substantially all of the assets of the
successor or surviving entity (the "Surviving General Partner"), other than
Partnership Units held by the General Partner, are contributed, directly or
indirectly, to the Partnership as a Capital Contribution in exchange for
Partnership Units with a fair market value equal to the value of the assets so
contributed as determined by the Surviving General Partner in good faith and
(ii) the Surviving General Partner expressly agrees to assume all obligations of
the General Partner or the Company, as appropriate, hereunder. Upon such
contribution and assumption, the Surviving General Partner shall have the right
and duty to amend this Agreement as set forth in this Section 7.01(d). The
Surviving General Partner shall in good faith arrive at a new method for the
calculation of the Cash Amount, the REIT Shares Amount and Conversion Factor for
a Partnership Unit after any such merger or consolidation so as to approximate
the existing method for such calculation as closely as reasonably possible. Such
calculation shall take into account, among other things, the kind and amount of
securities, cash and other property that was receivable upon such merger or
consolidation by a holder of REIT Shares or options, warrants or other rights
relating thereto, and to which a holder of Partnership Units could have acquired
had such Partnership Units been redeemed immediately prior to such merger or
consolidation. Such amendment to this Agreement shall provide for adjustment to
such method of calculation, which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be
practicable to the adjustments provided for with respect to the Conversion
Factor. The Surviving General Partner also shall in good faith modify the
definition of REIT Shares and make such amendments to Section 8.05 hereof so as
to approximate the existing rights and obligations set forth in Section 8.05 as
closely as reasonably possible. The above provisions of this Section 7.01(d)
shall similarly apply to successive mergers or consolidations permitted
hereunder.

      7.02 Admission of a Substitute or Successor General Partner. A Person
           ------------------------------------------------------
shall be admitted as a substitute or successor General Partner of the
Partnership only if the following terms and conditions are satisfied:

            (a) a majority in interest of the Limited Partners (other than PAH
LP) shall have consented in writing to the admission of the substitute or
successor General Partner, which consent may be withheld in the sole discretion
of such Limited Partners;

            (b) the Person to be admitted as a substitute or additional General
Partner shall have accepted and agreed to be bound by all the terms and
provisions of this Agreement by executing a counterpart thereof and such other
documents or instruments as may be required or

                                   - 27 -
<PAGE>
 


appropriate in order to effect the admission of such Person as a General
Partner, and a certificate evidencing the admission of such Person as a General
Partner shall have been filed for recordation and all other actions required by
Section 2.05 hereof in connection with such admission shall have been performed;

            (c) if the Person to be admitted as a substitute or additional
General Partner is a corporation or a partnership it shall have provided the
Partnership with evidence satisfactory to counsel for the Partnership of such
Person's authority to become a General Partner and to be bound by the terms and
provisions of this Agreement; and

            (d) counsel for the Partnership shall have rendered an opinion
(relying on such opinions from other counsel and the state or any other
jurisdiction as may be necessary) that the admission of the person to be
admitted as a substitute or additional General Partner is in conformity with the
Act, that none of the actions taken in connection with the admission of such
Person as a substitute or additional General Partner will cause (i) the
Partnership to be classified other than as a partnership for federal income tax
purposes, or (ii) the loss of any Limited Partner's limited liability.

      7.03  Effect of Bankruptcy, Withdrawal, Death or Dissolution  of a General
            --------------------------------------------------------------------
Partner.
- -------

            (a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Bankruptcy as to a General
Partner (and its removal pursuant to Section 7.04(a) hereof) or the death,
withdrawal, removal or dissolution of a General Partner (except that, if a
General Partner is on the date of such occurrence a partnership, the withdrawal,
death, dissolution, Event of Bankruptcy as to, or removal of a partner in, such
partnership shall be deemed not to be a dissolution of such General Partner if
the business of such General Partner is continued by the remaining partner or
partners), the Partnership shall be dissolved and terminated unless the
Partnership is continued pursuant to Section 7.03(b) hereof.

            (b) Following the occurrence of an Event of Bankruptcy as to a
General Partner (and its removal pursuant to Section 7.04(a) hereof) or the
death, withdrawal, removal or dissolution of a General Partner (except that, if
a General Partner is on the date of such occurrence a partnership, the
withdrawal, death, dissolution, Event of Bankruptcy as to, or removal of a
partner in, such partnership shall be deemed not to be a dissolution of such
General Partner if the business of such General Partner is continued by the
remaining partner or partners), the Limited Partners, within 90 days after such
occurrence, may elect to reconstitute the Partnership and continue the business
of the Partnership for the balance of the term specified in Section 2.04 hereof
by selecting, subject to Section 7.02 hereof and any other provisions of this
Agreement, a substitute General Partner by unanimous consent of the Limited
Partners. If the Limited Partners elect to reconstitute the Partnership and
admit a substitute General Partner, the relationship with the Partners and of
any Person who has acquired an interest of a Partner in the Partnership shall be
governed by this Agreement.

      7.04  Removal of a General Partner.
            ----------------------------

            (a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Bankruptcy as to, or the
dissolution of, a General Partner, such General Partner shall be deemed to be
removed automatically; provided, however, that if a General Partner is on the
                       --------  -------
date of such occurrence a partnership, the withdrawal, death, dissolution, Event
of Bankruptcy as to or removal of a partner in such partnership shall be deemed
not to be a dissolution of the General Partner if the business of such General
Partner is continued by the remaining partner or partners.

            (b) If a General Partner has been removed pursuant to this Section
7.04 and the Partnership is continued pursuant to Section 7.03 hereof, such
General Partner shall promptly transfer and assign its General Partnership
Interest in the Partnership to the substitute General Partner approved by a
majority in interest of the Limited Partners (excluding PAH LP) in accordance
with Section 7.03(b) hereof and otherwise admitted to the Partnership in
accordance with Section 7.02 hereof. At the time of assignment, the removed
General Partner shall be entitled to receive from the substitute General Partner
the fair market value of the General Partnership Interest of such removed
General Partner as reduced by any damages caused to the Partnership by such
General Partner. Such fair market value shall be determined by an appraiser
mutually agreed upon by the General Partner and a majority in interest of the
Limited Partners (excluding PAH LP) within 10 days following the removal of the
General Partner. In the event that the parties are unable to agree upon an
appraiser, the removed General Partner and a majority in interest of the Limited
Partners (excluding PAH LP) each shall select an appraiser. Each such appraiser
shall complete an appraisal of the fair market value of the removed General
Partner's General Partnership Interest within 30 days of the General Partner's
removal, and the fair market value of the removed General Partner's General
Partnership Interest shall be the average of the two appraisals; provided,
                                                                 --------
however, that if the higher appraisal exceeds the lower appraisal by more than
- -------
20% of the amount of the lower appraisal, the two appraisers, no later than 40
days after the removal of the General Partner, shall select a third appraiser
who shall complete an appraisal of the fair market value of the removed General
Partner's General Partnership Interest no later than 60 days after the removal
of the General Partner. In such case, the fair market value of the removed
General Partner's General Partnership Interest shall be the average of the two
appraisals closest in value.

            (c) The General Partnership Interest of a removed General Partner,
during the time after default until transfer under Section 7.04(b), shall be
converted to that of a special Limited Partner; provided, however, such removed
                                                --------  -------
General Partner shall not have any rights to participate in the management and
affairs of the Partnership, and shall not be entitled to any portion of the
income, expense, profit, gain or loss allocations or cash distributions
allocable or payable, as the case may be, to the Limited Partners. Instead, such
removed General Partner shall receive and be entitled only to retain
distributions or allocations of such items that it would have been entitled to
receive in its capacity as General Partner, until the transfer is effective
pursuant to Section 7.04(b).

            (d) All Partners shall have given and hereby do give such consents,
shall take such actions and shall execute such documents as shall be legally
necessary and sufficient to effect all the foregoing provisions of this Section.


                                 ARTICLE VIII

                            RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
                           OF THE LIMITED PARTNERS
                           -----------------------

      8.01 Management of the Partnership. The Limited Partners shall not
           -----------------------------
participate in the management or control of Partnership business nor shall they
transact any business for the Partnership, nor shall they have the power to sign
for or bind the Partnership, such powers being vested solely and exclusively in
the General Partner.

      8.02 Power of Attorney. Each Limited Partner hereby irrevocably appoints
           -----------------
the General Partner its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, who may act for each
Limited Partner and in its name, place and stead, and for its use and benefit,
to sign, acknowledge, swear to, deliver, file and record, at the appropriate
public offices, any and all documents, certificates, and instruments as may be
deemed necessary or desirable by the General Partner to carry out fully the
provisions of this Agreement and the Act in accordance with their terms, which
power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall survive the death,
dissolution or legal incapacity of the Limited Partner, or the transfer by the
Limited Partner of any part or all of its Partnership Interest.

      8.03 Limitation on Liability of Limited Partners. No Limited Partner shall
           -------------------------------------------
be liable for any debts, liabilities, contracts or obligations of the
Partnership. A Limited Partner shall be liable to the Partnership only to make
payments of its Capital Contribution, if any, as and when due hereunder. After
its Capital Contribution is fully paid, no Limited Partner shall, except as
otherwise required by the Act, be required to make any further Capital
Contributions or other payments or lend any funds to the Partnership.

      8.04 Ownership by Limited Partner of Corporate General Partner or
           ------------------------------------------------------------
Affiliate. No Limited Partner shall at any time, either directly or indirectly,
- ---------
own any stock or other interest in the General Partner or in any Affiliate
thereof, if such ownership by itself or in conjunction with other stock or other
interests owned by other Limited Partners would, in the opinion of counsel for
the Partnership, jeopardize the classification of the Partnership as a
partnership for federal income tax purposes. The General Partner shall be
entitled to make such reasonable inquiry of the Limited Partners as is required
to establish compliance by the Limited Partners with the provisions of this
Section.

      8.05  Redemption Right.
            ----------------

            (a) Subject to Sections 8.05(b), 8.05(c), 8.05(d), 8.05(e) and
8.05(f), on or after the date which is one year after the closing of the
Offering, each Limited Partner, other than PAH LP, shall have the right (the
"Redemption Right") to require the Partnership to redeem on a Specified
Redemption Date all or a portion of the Partnership Units held by such Limited
Partner at a redemption price equal to and in the form of the Cash Amount to be
paid by the Partnership. The Redemption Right shall be exercised pursuant to a
Notice of Redemption delivered to the Partnership (with a copy to the General
Partner) by the Limited Partner who is exercising the Redemption Right (the
"Redeeming Partner"); provided, however, that the Partnership shall not be
obligated to satisfy such Redemption Right if the Company and/or the General
Partner elects to purchase the Partnership Units subject to the Notice of
Redemption pursuant to Section 8.05(b); and provided, further, that no Limited
Partner may deliver more than two Notices of Redemption during each calendar
year. A Limited Partner may not exercise the Redemption Right for less than
1,000 Partnership Units or, if such Limited Partner holds less than 1,000
Partnership Units, all of the Partnership Units held by such Partner. The
Redeeming Partner shall have no right, with respect to any Partnership Units so
redeemed, to receive any distribution paid with respect to Partnership Units if
the record date for such distribution is on or after the Specified Redemption
Date.

            (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.05(a), a Limited
Partner that exercises the Redemption Right shall be deemed to have offered to
sell the Partnership Units described in the Notice of Redemption to the General
Partner and the Company, and either of the General Partner or the Company (or
both) may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect to purchase directly and
acquire such Partnership Units by paying to the Redeeming Partner either the
Cash Amount or the REIT Shares Amount, as elected by the General Partner or the
Company (in its sole and absolute discretion), on the Specified Redemption Date,
whereupon the General Partner or the Company shall acquire the Partnership Units
offered for redemption by the Redeeming Partner and shall be treated for all
purposes of this Agreement as the owner of such Partnership Units. If the
General Partner and/or the Company shall elect to exercise its right to purchase
Partnership Units under this Section 8.05(b) with respect to a Notice of
Redemption, they shall so notify the Redeeming Partner within five Business Days
after the receipt by the General Partner of such Notice of Redemption. Unless
the General Partner and/or the Company (in its sole and absolute discretion)
shall exercise its right to purchase Partnership Units from the Redeeming
Partner pursuant to this Section 8.05(b), neither the General Partner nor the
Company shall have any obligation to the Redeeming Partner or the Partnership
with respect to the Redeeming Partner's exercise of the Redemption Right. In the
event the General Partner or the Company shall exercise its right to purchase
Partnership Units with respect to the exercise of a Redemption Right in the
manner described in the first sentence of this Section 8.05(b), the Partnership
shall have no obligation to pay any amount to the Redeeming Partner with respect
to such Redeeming Partner's exercise of such Redemption Right, and each of the
Redeeming Partner, the Partnership, and the General Partner or the Company, as
the case may be, shall treat the transaction between the General Partner or the
Company, as the case may be, and the Redeeming Partner for federal income tax
purposes as a

                                   - 31 -
<PAGE>
 


sale of the Redeeming Partner's Partnership Units to the General Partner or the
Company, as the case may be. Each Redeeming Partner agrees to execute such
documents as the General Partner may reasonably require in connection with the
issuance of REIT Shares upon exercise of the Redemption Right.

            (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.05(a) and 8.05(b), a
Limited Partner shall not be entitled to exercise the Redemption Right if the
delivery of REIT Shares to such Partner on the Specified Redemption Date by the
General Partner or the Company pursuant to Section 8.05(b) (regardless of
whether or not the General Partner or the Company would in fact exercise its
rights under Section 8.05(b)) would (i) result in such Partner or any other
person owning, directly or indirectly, REIT Shares in excess of the Ownership
Limitation or the Look-Through Ownership Limitation, if applicable, (as defined
in the Articles of Incorporation) and calculated in accordance therewith, except
as provided in the Articles of Incorporation, (ii) result in REIT Shares being
owned by fewer than 100 persons (determined without reference to any rules of
attribution), except as provided in the Articles of Incorporation, (iii) result
in the Company being "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the
Code, (iv) cause the Company to own, directly or constructively, 10% or more of
the ownership interests in a tenant of the General Partner's, the Partnership's,
or a Subsidiary Partnership's, real property, within the meaning of Section
856(d)(2)(B) of the Code, or (v) cause the acquisition of REIT Shares by such
Partner to be "integrated" with any other distribution of REIT Shares for
purposes of complying with the registration provisions of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The General Partner or the Company, in
their sole discretion, may waive the restriction on redemption set forth in this
Section 8.05(c); provided, however, that in the event such restriction is
                 --------  -------
waived, the Redeeming Partner shall be paid the Cash Amount.

            (d) Any Cash Amount to be paid to a Redeeming Partner pursuant to
this Section 8.05 shall be paid on the Specified Redemption Date; provided,
                                                                  --------
however, that the Company or the General Partner may elect to cause the
- -------
Specified Redemption Date to be delayed for up to an additional 180 days to the
extent required for the Company to cause additional REIT Shares to be issued to
provide financing to be used to make such payment of the Cash Amount.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and the General Partner agree to use
their best efforts to cause the closing of the acquisition of redeemed
Partnership Units hereunder to occur as quickly as reasonably possible.

            (e) In the event that the General Partner permits the pledge of a
Limited Partner's Partnership Units to a lender, the General Partner may agree
to allow such lender, upon foreclosure of such Partnership Units, to redeem such
Partnership Units prior to the expiration of the one-year period described in
section 8.05(a); provided, that any such redemption shall be effected by the
Partnership in the form of the Cash Amount.

            (f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
General Partner shall place appropriate restrictions on the ability of the
Limited Partners to exercise their Redemption Rights as and if deemed necessary
to ensure that the Partnership does not constitute a "publicly traded
partnership" under section 7704 of the Code. If and when the General Partner
determines that imposing such restrictions is necessary, the General Partner
shall give prompt written notice thereof (a "Restriction Notice") to each of the
Limited Partners, which notice shall be accompanied by a copy of an opinion of
counsel to the Partnership which states that, in the opinion of such counsel,
restrictions are necessary in order to avoid the Partnership being treated as a
"publicly traded partnership" under section 7704 of the Code. Any such
restriction shall become effective on the later of (i) the fifth business day
after the Restriction Notice is received by the Limited Partner or (ii) the date
on which the regulations under section 7704 of the Code that would cause the
Partnership to be classified as a "publicly traded partnership" become
effective.

      8.06  Registration.
            ------------

            (a) Payment of REIT Shares Amount. In the event that the General
                -----------------------------
Partner or the Company elects to acquire a Redeeming Partner's Partnership Units
by paying to such Partner the REIT Shares Amount, such shares will be issued
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act.

            (b) Shelf Registration of the Common Stock. Prior to or on the first
                --------------------------------------
date upon which the Partnership Units owned by any Limited Partner may be
redeemed (or such other date as may be required under applicable provisions of
the Securities Act), the Company agrees to file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission"), a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 under
Rule 415 of the Securities Act (a "Registration Statement"), or any similar rule
that may be adopted by the Commission, with respect to all of the shares of
Common Stock that may be issued upon redemption of such Partnership Units
pursuant to Section 8.05 hereof ("Redemption Shares"). The Company will use its
best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective under the
Securities Act. The Company need not file a separate Registration Statement, but
may file one Registration Statement covering Redemption Shares issuable to more
than one Limited Partner. The Company further agrees to supplement or make
amendments to each Registration Statement, if required by the rules, regulations
or instructions applicable to the registration form utilized by the Company or
by the Securities Act or rules and regulations thereunder for such Registration
Statement.

            (c) Listing on Securities Exchange. If the Company shall list or
                ------------------------------
maintain the listing of any shares of Common Stock on any securities exchange or
national market system, it will at its expense and as necessary to permit the
registration and sale of the Redemption Shares hereunder, list thereon, maintain
and, when necessary, increase such listing to include such Redemption Shares.

                                  ARTICLE IX

                  TRANSFERS OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS
                  ------------------------------------------

      9.01  Purchase for Investment.
            -----------------------
        
            (a) Each Limited Partner hereby represents and warrants to the
General Partner, to the Company and to the Partnership that the acquisition of
his Partnership Interests is made as a principal for his account for investment
purposes only and not with a view to the resale or distribution of such
Partnership Interest.

            (b) Each Limited Partner agrees that he will not sell, assign or
otherwise transfer his Partnership Interest or any fraction thereof, whether
voluntarily or by operation of law or at judicial sale or otherwise, to any
Person who does not make the representations and warranties to the General
Partner set forth in Section 9.01(a) above and similarly agree not to sell,
assign or transfer such Partnership Interest or fraction thereof to any Person
who does not similarly represent, warrant and agree.

      9.02  Restrictions on Transfer of Limited Partnership Interests.
            ---------------------------------------------------------

            (a) Subject to the provisions of 9.02(b), (c) and (d), a Limited
Partner may offer, sell, assign, hypothecate, pledge or otherwise transfer all
or any portion of his Limited Partnership Interest, or any of such Limited
Partner's economic rights as a Limited Partner, whether voluntarily or by
operation of law or at judicial sale or otherwise (collectively, a "Transfer")
with or without the consent of the General Partner. The General Partner may
require, as a condition of any Transfer, that the transferor assume all costs
incurred by the Partnership in connection therewith.

            (b) No Limited Partner may effect a Transfer of its Limited
Partnership Interest, in whole or in part, if, in the opinion of legal counsel
for the Partnership, such proposed Transfer would require the registration of
the Limited Partnership Interest under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
or would otherwise violate any applicable federal or state securities or blue
sky law (including investment suitability standards).

            (c) No transfer by a Limited Partner of its Partnership Units, in
whole or in part, may be made to any Person if (i) in the opinion of legal
counsel for the Partnership, the transfer would result in the Partnership's
being treated as an association taxable as a corporation (other than a qualified
REIT subsidiary within the meaning of Section 856(i) of the Code), (ii) in the
opinion of legal counsel for the Partnership, it would adversely affect the
ability of the Company to continue to qualify as a REIT or subject the Company
to any additional taxes under Section 857 or Section 4981 of the Code, or (iii)
such transfer is effectuated through an "established securities market" or a
"secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof)" within the meaning of
Section 7704 of the Code.


                                   - 34 -

            (d) No transfer of any Partnership Units may be made to a lender to
the Partnership or any Person who is related (within the meaning of Regulations
Section 1.752- 4(b)) to any lender to the Partnership whose loan constitutes a
nonrecourse liability (within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-1(a)(2)),
without the consent of the General Partner, which may be withheld in its sole
and absolute discretion, provided that as a condition to such consent the lender
                         -------- ----
will be required to enter into an arrangement with the Partnership and the
General Partner to exchange or redeem for the Cash Amount any Partnership Units
in which a security interest is held simultaneously with the time at which such
lender would be deemed to be a partner in the Partnership for purposes of
allocating liabilities to such lender under Section 752 of the Code.

            (e) Any Transfer in contravention of any of the provisions of this
Article IX shall be void and ineffectual and shall not be binding upon, or
recognized by, the Partnership.

      9.03  Admission of Substitute Limited Partner.
            ---------------------------------------

            (a) Subject to the other provisions of this Article IX, an assignee
of the Limited Partnership Interest of a Limited Partner (which shall be
understood to include any purchaser, transferee, donee, or other recipient of
any disposition of such Limited Partnership Interest) shall be deemed admitted
as a Limited Partner of the Partnership only upon the satisfactory completion of
the following:

                   (i) The assignee shall have accepted and agreed to be bound
            by the terms and provisions of this Agreement by executing a
            counterpart or an amendment thereof, including a revised Exhibit A,
                                                                     ---------
            and such other documents or instruments as the General Partner may
            require in order to effect the admission of such Person as a Limited
            Partner.

                  (ii) To the extent required, an amended Certificate evidencing
            the admission of such Person as a Limited Partner shall have been
            signed, acknowledged and filed for record in accordance with the
            Act.

                 (iii) The assignee shall have delivered a letter containing the
            representation set forth in Section 9.01(a) hereof and the agreement
            set forth in Section 9.01(b) hereof.

                  (iv) If the assignee is a corporation, partnership or trust,
            the assignee shall have provided the General Partner with evidence
            satisfactory to counsel for the Partnership of the assignee's
            authority to become a Limited Partner under the terms and provisions
            of this Agreement.

                   (v) The assignee shall have executed a power of attorney
            containing the terms and provisions set forth in Section 8.02
            hereof.

                  (vi) The assignee shall have paid all reasonable legal fees of
            the Partnership and the General Partner and filing and publication
            costs in connection with its substitution as a Limited Partner.

                 (vii) The assignee has obtained the prior written consent of
            the General Partner to its admission as a Substitute Limited
            Partner, which consent may be given or denied in the exercise of the
            General Partner's sole and absolute discretion.

            (b) For the purpose of allocating Profits and Losses and
distributing cash received by the Partnership, a Substitute Limited Partner
shall be treated as having become, and appearing in the records of the
Partnership as, a Partner upon the filing of the Certificate described in
Section 9.03(a)(ii) hereof or, if no such filing is required, the later of the
date specified in the transfer documents or the date on which the General
Partner has received all necessary instruments of transfer and substitution.

            (c) The General Partner shall cooperate with the Person seeking to
become a Substitute Limited Partner by preparing the documentation required by
this Section and making all official filings and publications. The Partnership
shall take all such action as promptly as practicable after the satisfaction of
the conditions in this Article IX to the admission of such Person as a Limited
Partner of the Partnership.

      9.04  Rights of Assignees of Partnership Interests.
            --------------------------------------------

            (a) Subject to the provisions of Sections 9.01 and 9.02 hereof,
except as required by operation of law, the Partnership shall not be obligated
for any purposes whatsoever to recognize the assignment by any Limited Partner
of its Partnership Interest until the Partnership has received notice thereof.

            (b) Any Person who is the assignee of all or any portion of a
Limited Partner's Limited Partnership Interest, but does not become a Substitute
Limited Partner and desires to make a further assignment of such Limited
Partnership Interest, shall be subject to all the provisions of this Article IX
to the same extent and in the same manner as any Limited Partner desiring to
make an assignment of its Limited Partnership Interest.

      9.05 Effect of Bankruptcy, Death, Incompetence or Termination of a Limited
           ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Partner. The occurrence of an Event of Bankruptcy as to a Limited Partner, the
- -------
death of a Limited Partner or a final adjudication that a Limited Partner is
incompetent (which term shall include, but not be limited to, insanity) shall
not cause the termination or dissolution of the Partnership, and the business of
the Partnership shall continue if an order for relief in a bankruptcy proceeding
is entered against a Limited Partner, the trustee or receiver of his estate or,
if he dies, his executor, administrator or trustee, or, if he is finally
adjudicated incompetent, his committee, guardian or conservator, shall have the
rights of such Limited Partner for the purpose of settling or managing his
estate property and such power as the

                                   - 36 -
<PAGE>
 


bankrupt, deceased or incompetent Limited Partner possessed to assign all or any
part of his Partnership Interest and to join with the assignee in satisfying
conditions precedent to the admission of the assignee as a Substitute Limited
Partner.

      9.06 Joint Ownership of Interests. A Partnership Interest may be acquired
           ----------------------------
by two individuals as joint tenants with right of survivorship, provided that
such individuals either are married or are related and share the same home as
tenants in common. The written consent or vote of both owners of any such
jointly held Partnership Interest shall be required to constitute the action of
the owners of such Partnership Interest; provided, however, that the written
                                         --------  -------
consent of only one joint owner will be required if the Partnership has been
provided with evidence satisfactory to the counsel for the Partnership that the
actions of a single joint owner can bind both owners under the applicable laws
of the state of residence of such joint owners. Upon the death of one owner of a
Partnership Interest held in a joint tenancy with a right of survivorship, the
Partnership Interest shall become owned solely by the survivor as a Limited
Partner and not as an assignee. The Partnership need not recognize the death of
one of the owners of a jointly-held Partnership Interest until it shall have
received notice of such death. Upon notice to the General Partner from either
owner, the General Partner shall cause the Partnership Interest to be divided
into two equal Partnership Interests, which shall thereafter be owned separately
by each of the former owners.

Interest of any Partner, the Partnership, at the option of the General Partner,

any adjustments made pursuant to Section 754 shall affect only the successor in
interest to the transferring Partner and in no event shall be taken into account
in establishing, maintaining or computing Capital Accounts for the other
Partners for any purpose under this Agreement. Each Partner will furnish the
Partnership with all information necessary to give effect to such election.

                Patriot American Hospitality Partnership, L.P.

                      Second Amendment to First Amended
                 and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership


      This Second Amendment is made as of March 27, 1996 by PAH GP, Inc., a
Virginia corporation, as general partner (the "General Partner") of Patriot
American Hospitality Partnership, L.P., a Virginia partnership (the
"Partnership") and as attorney-in-fact for each of the limited partners of the
Partnership (collectively, the "Limited Partners") for the purpose of amending
the First Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership dated October 2,
1995, as amended (the "Partnership Agreement"). All capitalized terms used
herein and not defined shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in
the Partnership Agreement.

      WHEREAS, the General Partner desires to amend the Partnership Agreement to
clarify the holding period for Partnership Units to be issued to Additional
Limited Partners contained in Section 8.05 and to clarify the registration
provisions contained in Section 8.06; and

      WHEREAS, the General Partner has determined that such amendment is not
adverse to the Limited Partners.

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

      1. The first sentence of Section 8.05(a) of the Partnership Agreement is
amended to read as follows:

      "Subject to Sections 8.05(b), 8.05(c), 8.05(d), 8.05(e) and 8.05(f), each
Limited Partner, other than PAH LP, shall have the right (the "Redemption
Right"), on or after the first anniversary of the date on which he acquires
Partnership Units (or such later or earlier date as shall be determined in the
sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner at the time of the issuance
of the Partnership Units), to require the Partnership to redeem on a Specified
Redemption Date all or a portion of the Partnership Units held by such Limited
Partner at a redemption price equal to and in a form of the Cash Amount to be
paid by the Partnership."

      2. Section 8.06 of the Partnership Agreement is amended to read as
follows:

            "(a) Payment of REIT Shares Amount. In the event that the General
                 -----------------------------
Partner or the Company elects to acquire from a Redeeming Partner Partnership
Units issued to such Redeeming Partner prior to March 27, 1996 (the "Registrable
Units") by paying to such Partner the REIT Shares Amount, such shares will be
issued pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act.
<PAGE>
 


            (b) Shelf Registration of the Common Stock. Prior to or on the first
                --------------------------------------
date upon which the Registrable Units owned by any Limited Partner may be
redeemed (or such other date as may be required under applicable provisions of
the Securities Act), the Company agrees to file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission"), a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 under
Rule 415 of the Securities Act (a "Registration Statement"), or any similar rule
that may be adopted by the Commission, with respect to all of the shares of
Common Stock that may be issued upon redemption of such Registrable Units
pursuant to Section 8.05 hereof ("Redemption Shares"). The Company will use its
best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective under the
Securities Act. The Company need not file a separate Registration Statement, but
may file one Registration Statement covering Redemption Shares issuable to more
than one Limited Partner. The Company further agrees to supplement or make
amendments to each Registration Statement, if required by the rules, regulations
or instructions applicable to the registration form utilized by the Company or
by the Securities Act or rules and regulations thereunder for such Registration
Statement.

            (c) Listing on Securities Exchange. If the Company shall list or
                ------------------------------
maintain the listing of any shares of Common Stock on any securities exchange or
national market system, it will, at its expense and as necessary to permit the
registration and sale of the Redemption Shares hereunder, list thereon, maintain
and, when necessary, increase such listing to include such Redemption Shares."

      2. Except as specifically amended hereby, the Partnership Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect in all other respects.

                              Fourth Amendment to
                          First Amended and Restated
                       Agreement of Limited Partnership


      This Fourth Amendment is made as of May 15, 1996 by PAH GP, Inc., a
Virginia corporation, as general partner (the "General Partner") of Patriot

      WHEREAS, the Persons listed on Exhibit A attached hereto (the

      WHEREAS, the General Partner desires to accept such Capital Contributions

      NOW, THEREFORE, the General Partner undertakes to implement the following
amendments to the Partnership Agreement pursuant to the authority granted to the
General Partner under Section 4.02(a) of the Partnership Agreement:


Section 1.  Amendment to text of Partnership Agreement.
            ------------------------------------------

Article I, Defined Terms is amended to add the following definitions of
"Preferred Unit" and "Preferred Unitholder" and to replace the current
definitions of "Partnership Unit" and "Percentage Interest" with the definitions
of those terms described below. All other terms defined in Article I shall
remain in full force and effect.

      "Partnership Unit" means a fractional, undivided share of the Partnership
Interests of all Partners issued hereunder (and includes any Preferred Units).

      "Percentage Interest" means the percentage ownership interest in the
Partnership of each Partner, as determined by dividing the Partnership Units
owned by a Partner (including any outstanding Preferred Units) by the total
number of Partnership Units outstanding (including any outstanding Preferred
Units). The Percentage Interest of each Partner shall be as set forth on Exhibit
                                                                         -------
A, as may be amended from time to time. For purposes of applying Section
- -

modifications provided in section 5.02(a)(2).

      "Preferred Unit" means a limited partnership interest represented by
fractional, undivided share of the Partnership Interests of all Partners issued
hereunder which has the rights, preferences and other privileges designated

   ---------

Article IV shall be amended to add paragraph (d) to section 4.02, as follows:

      4.02 Additional Capital Contributions and Issuances of Additional
           ------------------------------------------------------------
Partnership Interests.
- ---------------------

      (d)   Exchange of Preferred Units.
            ---------------------------

            (i) In the event the General Partner or the Company acquires
            Preferred Units from the Preferred Unitholders (in exchange for cash
            or REIT Shares), the Partnership shall, as soon as practicable
            thereafter, exchange each Preferred Unit held by the General Partner
            or the Company for such number of Partnership Units which are not
            designated as Preferred Units, as determined by the Conversion
            Factor then in effect.

            (ii) In the event the Company qualifies under the Department of
            Labor regulations as a "real estate operating company" or a "venture
            capital operating company" and has the authority to issue preferred
            capital stock having the same designations, preferences and other
            rights as the Preferred Units, all such that the economic interests
            of the preferred stock are substantially similar to those of the
            Preferred Units, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Company,
            each Preferred Unit will be immediately converted into one share of
            preferred stock having the same designating preferences and other
            rights as the Preferred Units. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as a
            condition to such conversion the Company shall deliver to each
            Preferred Unitholder who so requests a legal opinion, in form and
            substance reasonably satisfactory to the Preferred Unitholder, as to
            the Company's qualification as a "real estate operating company" or
            a "venture capital operating company."

                  General Partner shall distribute to the Preferred
                  Unitholder(s) of record on such date (concurrently with the
                  payment of such REIT Share dividend) an amount with respect to
                  each such Preferred Unit equal to the Preferred Distribution
                  Amount.

            (2)   Second, the General Partner shall distribute any remaining
                  cash available for distribution on a quarterly (or, at the
                  election of the General Partner, more frequent) basis, in an
                  amount determined by the General Partner in its sole
                  discretion, to the Partners who are Partners on the
                  Partnership Record Date for such quarter (or other
                  distribution period) in accordance with their respective
                  Percentage Interests on the Partnership Record Date. For
                  purposes of this Section 5.02(a)(2), Percentage Interests
                  shall not include any Preferred Units.

      A new Section 5.08 is added to the end of Article V of the Agreement as
follows:

      5.08  Additional Distributions Provisions and Definitions Relating to
            ---------------------------------------------------------------
            Preferred Units.
            ---------------

            Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary in this
      Agreement, as long as there remain any Preferred Units outstanding, the
      following additional distribution provisions and definitions shall apply.

      (a)   "Preferred Distribution Amount" shall mean, for any quarter or other
            period with respect to which a REIT Share dividend is paid and a
            distribution is required to be made pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(1),
            an amount equal to the sum of the following: (i) such amount that if
            it were the sole amount distributed on a Preferred Unit pursuant to
            Section 5.02(a)(1) for such quarter or other period would provide
            the Preferred Unitholder with a distribution on such Preferred Unit
            equal to 103% of the corresponding REIT Share dividend to be paid
            for such quarter or other period plus (ii) the UBTI Adjuster, if
            any, required to be paid during such quarter or other period
            pursuant to Section 5.08(b).

                                      2
<PAGE>
 


            Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate Preferred Distribution
            Amount with respect to any Preferred Unitholder shall not exceed the
            Preferred Unitholder's Capital Account balance (after reducing such
            balance to reflect the items described in Regulations section
            1.704-1(b)(ii)(2)(d)(4), (5) and (6) and after increasing such
            Capital Account balance to reflect such Preferred Unitholder's
            shares of Partnership Minimum Gain and Partner Nonrecourse Debt
            Minimum Gain), determined as of the date of the relevant
            distribution.

      (b)   "UBTI Adjuster." If, for any fiscal year of the Partnership, the
            amount of a Preferred Unitholder's distributive share of UBTI
            exceeds 20% of the aggregate amount of income and gain allocated to
            such Preferred Unitholder for the fiscal year, (any such excess
            referred to as the "Excess UBTI" for such fiscal year) the Preferred
            Unitholder shall be entitled to an additional distribution from the
            Partnership (each such distribution a "UBTI Adjuster") on account of
            such Excess UBTI equal to the product of (i) the Excess UBTI
            multiplied by (ii) the Applicable Rate; provided, however, that in
            the case of any fiscal year beginning on or after January 1, 1999, a
            Preferred Unitholder shall be entitled to receive a UBTI Adjuster
            only for the Excess UBTI that arises in the first fiscal year
            beginning after January 1, 1999 for which the Preferred Unitholder
            has Excess UBTI, and such Preferred Unitholder shall not be entitled
            to a UBTI Adjuster for Excess UBTI in any other fiscal year
            beginning on or after January 1, 1999. The "Applicable Rate" means
            the marginal federal income tax rate applicable to UBTI of the
            Preferred Unitholder for the fiscal year during which the
            corresponding Excess UBTI arises with respect to such Excess UBTI,
            assuming for this purpose that the Preferred Unitholder has no UBTI
            from any source other than the Partnership and taking into account
            the character of such income. "UBTI" for a fiscal year means
            "unrelated business taxable income" within the meaning of section
            512(a)(1) of the Code, as determined in accordance with the
            "Schedule K-1" of the Preferred Unitholder for such fiscal year;
            provided, however, that for purposes of determining Excess UBTI and
            the amount of any UBTI Adjuster, it shall be assumed
            (notwithstanding any determination to the contrary or the fact that
            a greater amount of UBTI may appear on the Schedule K-1) that the
            Partnership and its subsidiary partnerships as of the date hereof
            meet the requirements of section 514(c)(9)(B)(vi)(III) of the Code,
            unless the failure to satisfy such requirements results from
            amendments made to the partnership agreement of the Partnership or
            any such subsidiary partnership without the consent of the Preferred
            Unitholders subsequent to the issuance of the Preferred Units. Any
            UBTI Adjuster required to be paid as a result of Excess UBTI for a
            fiscal year shall be distributed concurrently with the Partnership
            distribution immediately following the Preferred Unitholder's
            receipt of the Schedule K-1 for the fiscal year in which the Excess
            UBTI arises and shall be included in the computation of the
            Preferred Distribution Amount for the quarter or other distribution
            period for which such distribution is made.


                                      3

Article VI shall be amended by replacing section 6.10 with the following:

      6.10 Miscellaneous. In the event the Company redeems any REIT Shares or
           -------------
securities convertible into or redeemable or exchangeable for REIT Shares, then
the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to purchase from the General
Partner and PAH LP a number of Partnership Units as determined based on the
application of the Conversion Factor on the same terms that the Company redeemed
such securities. Moreover, if the Company makes a cash tender offer or other
offer to acquire REIT Shares or securities convertible into or redeemable or
exchangeable for REIT Shares, then the General Partner shall cause the
Partnership to make a corresponding offer to the General Partner and PAH LP to
acquire an equal number of Partnership Units held by the General Partner and PAH
LP. In the event any REIT Shares or securities convertible into or redeemable or
exchangeable for REIT Shares are redeemed by the Company pursuant to such offer,
the Partnership shall redeem an equivalent number of the General Partner's and
PAH LP's Partnership Units for an equivalent purchase price based on the
application of the Conversion Factor.


Article VIII is amended to include section 8.05(g), as follows:

      8.05  Redemption Right.
            ----------------

            (g) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
holders of Preferred Units shall not have the Redemption Right specified in
section 8.05.


Article IX is amended by replacing section 9.02(a) with the following:

            (a) Subject to the provisions of 9.02(b), (c) and (d), a Limited
Partner may offer, sell, assign, hypothecate, pledge or otherwise transfer all
or any portion of his Limited Partnership Interest or any of such Limited
Partner's economic rights as a Limited Partner, whether voluntarily or by
operation of law or at judicial sale or otherwise (collectively, a "Transfer")
with or without the consent of the General Partner; provided however that upon
                                                    --------
Transfer of any Preferred Units, the holder thereof shall not be entitled to the
additional UBTI Adjuster distribution as set forth in Section 5.08(b). Any
assignee or transferee of a Limited Partnership Interest pursuant to this
Section 9.02(a) may only become a substitute Limited Partner pursuant to Section
9.03 hereof. The General Partner may require as a condition of any Transfer,
that the transferor assume all costs incurred by the Partnership in connection
therewith.


Article XI shall be amended to add paragraph (e) and section 11.02 as follows:

      (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the
event that (i) the Company or any of its corporate subsidiaries engages in any
merger, consolidation or

                                      4
<PAGE>
 


other combination with or into another Person in which securities of the Company
are being issued, acquired, converted or exchanged, (ii) the Company engages in
the sale of all or substantially all of its assets, or (iii) the Company engages
in a reclassification, recapitalization or change in the outstanding shares of
its stock (other than a change in par value or from par value to no par value,
or as a result of a subdivision or combination as described in the definition of
Conversion Factor) which results in the holders of REIT Shares receiving cash,
securities or other property (any of the events listed in clauses (i), (ii) or
(iii) hereinafter referred to as a "Transaction"), the General Partner (or its
successor or transferee) may amend the provisions of this Agreement (including,
without limitation, the definition of Conversion Factor) in any respect in
connection with such Transaction (regardless of whether the amendment alters or
changes the distributions to a Limited Partner or a Limited Partner's Redemption
Rights) without obtaining the consent of any Limited Partner; provided that
either (i) in connection with the Transaction, the Limited Partners are offered
the opportunity to receive for each Partnership Unit held by them an amount of
cash, securities, or other property equal to the product of the Conversion
Factor and the amount of cash, securities or other property, if any, paid to a
holder of one REIT Share as a result of the Transaction, or (ii) the Company or
its corporate subsidiary is the acquiror in such Transaction and the holders of
the REIT Shares of the Company are not receiving cash, securities, or other
property in such Transaction.

      Section 11.02 shall be added as follows:

      11.02 Voting Rights of Preferred Unitholders.
            --------------------------------------

            The holders of record of Preferred Units shall not be entitled to
vote on any matter on which Limited Partners are entitled to vote, or on any
other matters, provided that the holders of Preferred Units shall have the right
to vote as a separate class of Partnership Units on the following, each of which
shall require the consent of holders of record of Preferred Units representing
more than 50% of Preferred Units:

            a)    Any amendment that would adversely affect the rights of the
                  Preferred Unitholders to receive the distributions payable to
                  them hereunder;

            b)    Any amendment that would alter the Partnership's allocations
                  or Profit and Loss to the Preferred Unitholders; or

            c)    Any amendment that would impose on the Preferred Unitholders
                  any obligation to make additional Capital Contributions to the
                  Partnership.

Section 2.  Admission of Additional Limited Partners.

the Partnership Agreement, the General Partner hereby amends the Partnership
Agreement by deleting Exhibit A in its entirety and replacing it with Exhibit A

         ----
America which shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts,

     (a) Initial Base Rent: During the period (the "Initial Rent Period") ending
         -----------------                          -------------------
on December 31, 1996, Lessee shall pay to Lessor Initial Base Rent (herein so
called) on the following basis:

          (i) Initial Base Rent shall be payable on an estimated  basis  monthly
in arrears on the first day of each month following the month for which Initial
Base Rent has accrued, commencing at the times and in the amounts which are set
forth on the Base Rent Schedule (herein so called) attached hereto as Exhibit
                                                                      -------

               (iii) To the extent that the Actual 1996 Initial Base Rent
          (herein so called) is more than the estimated Initial Base Rent
          actually paid by Lessee to Lessor, and all or a portion of such
          additional amount has not been previously paid by Lessee to Lessor as
          Percentage Rent, Lessee shall be obligated to pay to Lessor the amount
          of such difference. To the extent that the Actual 1996 Initial Base
          Rent is less than the amounts actually paid in respect to estimated
          Initial Base Rent and all or a portion of such difference was not paid
          as Percentage Rent, Lessee shall be entitled to a credit against the
          next ensuing payments of Fixed Base Rent or Percentage Rent. The
          adjustments, computations and payments, if any, contemplated by this
          subparagraph (a)(iii) shall be made and concluded on or before January
          31, 1997.

     (b) Fixed Base Rent: For the period (the "Fixed Rent Period")  beginning on
         ---------------                       -----------------
January 1, 1997 and for each year thereafter during the Term, Lessee shall pay
to Lessor, Fixed Base Rent (herein so called) on the following basis:

               (i) Fixed Base Rent for the Lease Year commencing January 1, 1997
          (the "First Fixed Year") and for each Lease Year thereafter shall be
                ----------------
          an amount equal to the sum of (a) Lessor Obligations for the First
          Fixed Year, plus (b) an amount equal to the product of the sum of (x)
          the Renovation Costs, plus (y) the Total Hotel Cost, times eight
          percent (8%). The Fixed Base Rent for the First Fixed Year (Lease Year
          1997) is herein called the "Initial Year Fixed Base Rent").
                                      ----------------------------
               (ii) Estimates of Fixed Base Rent for the First Fixed Year shall
          be paid in arrears on the first day of each month in the amounts set
          forth in the Base Rent Schedule attached hereto as Exhibit D-2 and
                                                             -----------
          made a part hereof for all purposes. At the end of the First Fixed
          Year or as soon thereafter as is practicable, Lessor and Lessee shall
          determine the Actual 1997 Fixed Base Rent (herein so called) and to
          the extent that Actual 1997 Fixed Base Rent is more than the Fixed
          Base Rent actually paid by Lessee to Lessor for the First Fixed Year,
          and all or any portion of such additional rent has not been previously
          paid by Lessee to Lessor as Percentage Rent, Lessee shall be obligated
          to pay to Lessor the amount of such difference. To the extent that the
          Actual 1997 Fixed Base Rent is less than the amounts actually paid in
          respect to the Fixed Base Rent actually paid and all or any portion of
          such difference was not paid as Percentage Rent, Lessee shall be
          entitled to a credit against the next ensuing payments of Fixed Base
          Rent or Percentage Rent. The adjustments, computations and payments,
          if any, contemplated by this subparagraph 3.1(b)(ii) shall be made and
          concluded on or before January 31, 1998. 

               (iii) Fixed Base Rent shall be payable in arrears in equal,
          consecutive monthly installments, on or before the first day of each
          month following the month for which such rent has accrued; provided,
          however, that (a) Actual 1996 Initial Base Rent and Fixed Base Rent
          shall be prorated on a per diem basis as to any Lease Year which is
          less than twelve (12) months, (b) the first and last monthly payments
          of Actual 1996 Initial Base Rent and Fixed Base Rent shall be prorated
          on a per diem basis as to any partial month, and (c) payments of
          Actual 1996 Initial Base Rent and Fixed Base Rent shall be subject to
          abatement where and only where and to the extent expressly provided in
          this Lease. Such prorations shall not affect the calculation of Fixed
          Base Rent for subsequent Lease Years.

               (iv) For purposes of calculating Initial Base Rent for 1996 and
          Fixed Base Rent for 1997, (a) the parties shall assume a straight line
          draw of the Renovation Costs over the renovation period in 1996 and
          1997, as applicable, and (b) the eight (8%) return on Renovation Costs
          determined pursuant to Sections 3.1(a)(ii)(b) and 3.1(b)(i)(b) shall
                                 ---------------------------------------
          apply to Renovation Costs only during the portions of the applicable
          year after which such Renovation Costs are deemed to be drawn, as
          determined by (a) above.

               (v) The Fixed Base Rent for the Lease Year commencing January 1,
          1998 and for each Lease Year thereafter shall be an amount equal to
          the Actual 1997 Fixed Base Rent, subject to increases (i) as set forth
          in subparagraph (e) below and (ii) for Capital Expenditures which are
          funded from sources other than and in excess of the Capital
          Expenditures Reserve and are made pursuant to Section 10.3(a), but not
                                                        ---------------

last day of each month during the Term hereof, pay to Lessor an amount equal to
the Percentage Rent (herein so called) payable in accordance with the provisions
of this subparagraph (c). Percentage Rent shall be calculated by the following

                         Computation (defined below), for the Lease Year in
                         question

                                     less

                              (2) An amount equal to the Initial Base Rent or
                         Fixed Base Rent, as the case may be, paid by Lessee to
                         Lessor for the Lease Year to date

                                     less

                              (3) An amount equal to the Additional Fixed Rent
                         paid by Lessee to Lessor for the Lease Year to date as
                         calculated pursuant to Section 3.1(d)
                                                --------------
                                     less

                         theretofore paid for the Lease Year in question to
                         date.



                    (ii)  "Monthly  Revenues   Computation"  shall  be  computed

                    calendar months (including partial months) in a Lease Year
                    which have elapsed prior to the month in which a monthly
                    payment of Percentage Rent is due, and having as its
                    denominator the total number of calendar months (including
                    partial months) in the Lease Year. For example, the
                    Cumulative Monthly Portion in a 12-month Lease Year for the
                    January Percentage Rent payment due February 10 will be 1/12
                    and for the February Percentage Rent payment due March 10
                    will be 2/12, and such progression shall continue for each
                    successive calendar month so that the Cumulative Monthly
                    Portion for the December Percentage Rent payment due January
                    10 of the next Lease Year will be 12/12 or 100%.

                    ----------
     each of the months in such Lease Year shall be determined as set forth in
     the definition of Cumulative Monthly Portion above.

               (v) The obligation to pay Percentage Rent shall survive the
     expiration or earlier termination of the Term, and a final reconciliation,
     taking into account, among other relevant adjustments, any adjustments
     which are accrued after such expiration or termination date but which
     related to Percentage Rent accrued prior to such termination date, shall be
     made not later than sixty (60) days after such expiration or termination
     date.

     (d)  Additional  Fixed Rent.  For the  Subordination  Period (as defined in
          ----------------------
Section 21.3), Lessee's total rent obligation shall equal at least the Minimum
- ------------
Return. During the Subordination Period, Lessee shall pay to Lessor as
Additional Fixed Rent (herein so called), Lessee's net cash flow from the Leased
Property after allowing for a two percent (2%) management fee only until Lessor
has received, through the payment of Initial Base Rent, Fixed Base Rent,
Percentage Rent and/or Additional Fixed Rent, the Minimum Return. Any shortfall
between the Minimum Return and the total rent paid to Lessor for the
Subordination Period ("Deferred Rent") shall accrue and shall be payable after
                       -------------
the payment of Initial Base Rent or Fixed Base Rent, and shall be deemed to have
been paid from time to time, to the extent of any annual Percentage Rent
otherwise payable before deducting such Deferred Rent pursuant to Section 3.1(c)
                                                                  --------------
during the remaining Term of this Lease. In any event, any outstanding balance
of Deferred Rent shall be paid upon the termination of this Lease.

     (e) Officer's Certificates.  An Officer's Certificate shall be delivered to
         ----------------------
Lessor monthly setting forth the calculation of the Percentage Rent payment for
the most recently completed month within 10 days after each month of each Lease
Year during the Term. There shall be no reduction in Initial Base Rent or Fixed
Base Rent regardless of the results of the Monthly or Annual Revenues
Computation. Percentage Rent shall be subject to confirmation and adjustment, if
applicable, as set forth in Section 3.2. Notwithstanding the amounts of
                            -----------
Percentage Rent paid monthly pursuant to the formula set forth above, for each
Lease Year during the Term commencing with the Lease Year in which the
Commencement Date occurs,

                                       21
<PAGE>
 


the  Percentage  Rent  payable  under  this  Lease  shall be equal to the amount
determined by the following formula:

          The amount equal to the Annual Revenues Computation (as defined below)
          for the Lease Year in question

                                      less

          An amount  equal to the Initial  Base Rent or Fixed Base Rent,  as the
          case may be, paid for the applicable Lease Year

                                      less

          An amount equal to the Additional  Fixed Rent paid by Lessee to Lessor
          for the applicable Lease Year as calculated pursuant to Section 3.1(d)
                                                                  --------------
                                     equals

          Percentage Rent for the applicable Lease Year.

The Annual Revenues Computation (herein so called) shall be the amount obtained
by adding, for the applicable Lease Year, the following sums:

                              (1) an amount equal to the First Tier Room Revenue
                    Percentage (Lease Year 1996) or First Tier Room Revenue
                    Percentage (Lease Years 1997 - 1999), or First Tier Room
                    Revenue Percentage (Remainder of Term), as the case may be,
                    of Room Revenues for the applicable Lease Year up to (but
                    not exceeding) the Annual Room Revenues First Break Point,

                              (2) an amount equal to the Second Tier Room
                    Revenue Percentage of Room Revenues for the applicable Lease
                    Year in excess of the Annual Room Revenues First Break Point
                    up to (but not exceeding) the Annual Room Revenues Second
                    Break Point,

                              (3) an amount equal to the Third Tier Room Revenue
                    Percentage of Room Revenues for the applicable Lease Year in
                    excess of the Annual Room Revenues Second Break Point,

                              (4) an amount equal to the First Tier Food Sales
                    Percentage of Food Sales and Beverage Sales for the
                    applicable Lease Year up to (but not exceeding) the Annual
                    Food Sales Break Point,

                              (5) an amount equal to the Second Tier Food Sales
                    Percentage of Food Sales and Beverage Sales for the
                    applicable Lease Year in excess of the Annual Food Sales
                    Break Point, and

                              (6) an amount equal to the Other Income Percentage
                    of revenues from Other Income for the applicable Lease Year.

                                       22
<PAGE>
 



If the annual  Percentage  Rent due and  payable for any Lease Year (as shown in
the applicable Officer's Certificate) exceeds the amount actually paid as
Percentage Rent by Lessee for such year, Lessee also shall pay such excess to
Lessor at the time such certificate is delivered. If the Percentage Rent
actually due and payable for such Lease Year is shown by such certificate to be
less than the amount actually paid as Percentage Rent for the applicable Lease
Year, Lessee shall be entitled to a credit in the amount of such overpayment
against the next ensuing payment of Fixed Base Rent and/or Percentage Rent.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Annual Revenues Computation is less than
the Initial Base Rent or Fixed Base Rent, as the case may be, for the applicable
Lease Year, Lessee shall not be entitled to any credit or refund.

     (f) CPI Adjustments.
         ---------------
                  (i) For the Lease Year commencing January 1, 1998, and for
each Lease Year thereafter during the Term, the Fixed Base Rent then in effect
shall be increased in the following manner:

                              (1) The Fixed Base Rent for the Lease Year in
                    question shall be an amount equal to (1) the prior year's
                    Fixed Base Rent, plus (2) the product of (aa) an amount
                    equal to (x) the prior year's Fixed Base Rent multiplied by
                    the CPI Factor, less (y) the prior year's Fixed Base Rent
                    times (bb) the Fixed Rent Factor.

                              (2) The term "CPI Factor" shall mean a percentage
                    computed by dividing the Consumer Price Index for the day
                    before the day that the new Lease Year commences
                    ("Measurement Date") by the Consumer Price Index for the day
                      ----------------
                    that is twelve months preceding the Measurement Date.

                              (3) The term "Fixed Rent Factor" shall mean a
                    percentage computed by dividing the actual Lessor
                    Impositions plus the Lessor Insurance Costs for the First
                    Fixed Year by the Actual 1997 Fixed Base Rent.

                              (4) For example, if the prior year's Fixed Base
                    Rent was $500,000.00, the CPI Factor was 1.03 and the Fixed
                    Rent Factor is .20, then the Fixed Base Rent for the Lease
                    Year in question would be $503,000.00: $500,000 + [($500,000
                    X 1.03 - $500,000) X .2].

                  (ii) For each Lease Year during the Term commencing January 1,
1998, the Annual Room Revenues First Break Point and the Annual Room Revenues
Second Break Point (together, the "Annual Room Revenues Break Points"), and the
                                   ---------------------------------
Annual Food Sales Break Point shall be increased as follows:
                                                                                
                                                                                
                  (1) The new Annual Room Revenues  Break Points in the Revenues
Computation described above for the Lease Year commencing January 1, 1998, and
for each Lease Year thereafter shall be the product of (i) the Annual Room
Revenues Break Points in effect in the most recently ended Lease Year times (ii)
the CPI Factor; and                                                   -----


                                       23
<PAGE>
 


                  (2) The new Annual  Food  Sales  Break  Point in the  Revenues
Computation described above for the Lease Year commencing January 1, 1998, and
for each Lease Year thereafter during the Term, shall be the product of (i) the
Annual Food Sales Break Point in effect in the most recently ended Lease Year
times (ii) the CPI Factor.
- -----
                  (iii) In no event  shall the Fixed Base Rent,  the Annual Room
Revenues Break Points or the Annual Food Sales Break Point then in effect be
reduced as a result of any changes in the Consumer Price Index or any
calculations made pursuant to this Subparagraph (e).

                  (iv)  Adjustments  calculated  as set forth above in the Fixed
Base Rent, Annual Room Revenues Break Points and the Annual Food Sales Break
Point shall be effective on the first day of each calendar Lease Year to which
such adjusted amounts apply. If Fixed Base Rent or Percentage Rent is paid prior
to the determination of the amount of any adjustment to Fixed Base Rent,
Percentage Rent, the Annual Room Revenues Break Points or the Annual Food Sales
Break Point applicable for such period, whether because of a delay in the
publication of the Consumer Price Index for the Measurement Date or because of
any other reason, payment adjustments for any shortfall in or overpayment of
Percentage Rent paid shall be made with the first Fixed Base Rent and Percentage
Rent payments due after the amount of the adjustments are determined.

                  (v) If (a) a  significant  change  is  made in the  number  or
nature (or both) of items used in determining the Consumer Price Index, or (b)
the Consumer Price Index shall be discontinued for any reason, the Bureau of
Labor Statistics shall be requested to furnish a new index comparable to the
Consumer Price Index, together with information which will make possible a
conversion to the new index in computing the adjusted Fixed Base Rent, Annual
Room Revenues Break Points and Annual Food Sales Break Point hereunder. If for
any reason the Bureau of Labor Statistics does not furnish such an index and
such information, the parties will instead mutually select, accept and use such
other index or comparable statistics on the cost of living in various U.S.
cities that is computed and published by an agency of the United States or a
responsible financial periodical of recognized authority.

     3.2 Confirmation of Percentage Rent.
         -------------------------------
          (a) Lessee  shall  utilize,  or cause to be  utilized,  an  accounting
system for the Leased Property in accordance with its usual and customary
practices, and in accordance with GAAP and the Uniform System, that will
accurately record all data necessary to compute Percentage Rent, and Lessee
shall retain, for at least three (3) years after the expiration of each Lease
Year, reasonably adequate records conforming to such accounting system showing
all data necessary to conduct Lessor's Audit and to compute Percentage Rent for
the applicable Lease Years.

          (b) Lessor  shall have the right from time to time by its  accountants
or representatives to audit such information in connection with Lessor's Audit,
and to examine all Lessee's records (including supporting data and sales and
excise tax returns) reasonably required to complete Lessor's Audit and to verify
Percentage Rent, subject to any prohibitions or limitations on disclosure of any
such data under Legal Requirements. Lessor shall provide Lessee with a copy of
any such audits. If any Lessor's Audit discloses a deficiency in the

                                      24
<PAGE>
 


payment of Percentage Rent, and either Lessee agrees with the result of Lessor's
Audit or the matter is otherwise determined or compromised, Lessee shall
forthwith pay to Lessor the amount of the deficiency, as finally agreed or
determined, together with interest at the Overdue Rate from the date when said
payment should have been made to the date of payment thereof; provided, however,
that as to any Lessor's Audit that is commenced more than one (1) year after the
end of any Lease Year, the deficiency, if any, with respect to such Percentage
Rent shall bear interest, at the Overdue Rate, only from the date such
determination of deficiency is made unless such deficiency is the result of
gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Lessee, in which case
interest, at the Overdue Rate, will accrue from the date such payment should
have been made to the date of payment thereof. In addition to the amounts
described above in this Section 3.2(b), if any Lessor's Audit discloses a
                        --------------
deficiency in the payment of Percentage Rent which, as finally agreed or
determined, exceeds 1%, Lessee shall pay the costs of the portion of Lessor's
Audit allocable to the determination of Gross Revenues (the "Revenue Audit")
                                                             -------------
and, if any such deficiency exceeds 3%, Lessee shall also pay, in addition to
interest, at the Overdue Rate, and the cost of the Revenue Audit as aforesaid,
an amount equal to 20% of such deficiency. In the event the Revenue Audit
discloses an overpayment by Lessee, Lessee shall be entitled to a credit in the
amount of such overpayment against the next ensuing payment of Fixed Base Rent
and/or Percentage Rent. In no event shall Lessor undertake a Lessor's Audit more
than three (3) years after the last day of the Lease Year for which such audit
is requested.

          (c) Any  proprietary  information  obtained by Lessor  pursuant to the
provisions of this Section shall be treated as confidential, except that such
information may be used, subject to appropriate confidentiality safeguards, in
any litigation between the parties and except further that Lessor may disclose
such information to prospective lenders and investors and to any other persons
to whom disclosure is necessary to comply with applicable laws, regulations and
government requirements.

          (d) The  obligations  of Lessee and Lessor  contained  in this Section
shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Any dispute
as to the existence or amount of any deficiency in the payment of Percentage
Rent as disclosed by Lessor's Audit shall, if not otherwise settled by the
parties, be submitted to arbitration pursuant to the provisions of Section 40.2.
                                                                   ------------
     3.3  Additional  Charges.  In addition to the Initial Base Rent,  the Fixed
          -------------------
 Base Rent and Percentage Rent, Lessee also will pay and discharge as and when
 due and payable the following: (a) all other amounts, liabilities, obligations
 and Impositions that Lessee assumes or agrees to pay under this Lease, and (b)
  in the event of any failure on the part of Lessee to pay any of those items
referred to in clause (a) of this Section 3.3, Lessee also will promptly pay and
                                  -----------
     discharge every fine, penalty, interest and cost that may be added for
non-payment or late payment of such items. The items referred to in clauses (a)
and (b) of this Section 3.3 being additional rent hereunder shall be referred to
                -----------
 herein collectively as the "Additional Charges". Lessor shall have all legal,
                             ------------------
 equitable and contractual rights, powers and remedies provided either in this
 Lease or by statute or otherwise in the case of non-payment of the Additional
  Charges as in the case of non-payment of the Initial Base Rent or Fixed Base
Rent, as the case may be. If any installment of Initial Base Rent or Fixed Base
Rent, as the case may be, Percentage Rent or Additional Charges (but only as to
those Additional Charges that are payable directly to Lessor) shall not be paid
   on its due date, Lessee will pay Lessor within ten (10) days of demand, as
Additional Charges, a late charge (to the extent permitted by law) equal to the

                                       25
<PAGE>
 


greater  of (i)  interest  computed  at the  Overdue  Rate on the amount of such
installment, from the due date of such installment to the date of payment
thereof, or, (ii) in the event Lessee has failed to pay the amount of such
installment, within ten (10) days after receipt by the Lessee of Notice from
Lessor, provided that after Lessor has given one (1) such Notice in a Lease
Year, the ten (10) days' Notice and cure period shall not be required for the
remainder of such Lease Year, five percent (5%) of such amount. To the extent
that Lessee pays any Additional Charges to Lessor pursuant to any requirement of
this Lease, Lessee shall be relieved of its obligation to pay such Additional
Charges to the entity to which they would otherwise be due and Lessor shall pay
the same from monies received from Lessee.

     3.4 No Set Off. Rent shall be paid to Lessor without set off,  deduction or
         ---------- 
counterclaim; provided, however, that Lessee shall have the right of offset to
the extent specifically provided in Section 39.1 and the right to assert any
                                    ------------
claim or counterclaim in a separate action brought by Lessee under this Lease or
to assert any mandatory counterclaim in any action brought by Lessor under this
Lease.

         -------------
of each Lease Year, Lessee shall prepare and submit to Lessor an operating

<PAGE>
 


          Lessor shall have thirty (30) days after the date on which it receives
the Annual Budget to review, approve, disapprove or change the entries and
information appearing in the Annual Budget. If the parties are not able to reach
agreement on the Annual Budget for any Lease Year during Lessor's thirty (30)
day review period, the parties shall attempt in good faith during the subsequent
thirty (30) day period to resolve any disputes, which attempt shall include, if
requested by either party, at least one (1) meeting of executive-level officers
of Lessor and Lessee. In the event the parties are still not able to reach

with the foregoing requirements of this Section 3.5, the parties shall adopt
                                        -----------
such portions of the Operating Budget and the Capital Budget as they may have

provided for in Section 40.2 hereof. Pending the results of such arbitration or
                ------------
the earlier agreement of the parties, (i) if the Operating Budget has not been
agreed upon, the Leased Property will be operated in a manner consistent with
the prior Lease Year's Operating Budget without adjustment pursuant to Section
                                                                       -------
3.1(e) hereof until a new Operating Budget is adopted, and (ii) if the Capital

Requirements or to make Emergency Expenditures.

          Lessee shall operate the Leased  Property  consistent  with the Annual
Budget and shall promptly report to Lessor in writing any actual or anticipated
deviation from the Operating Budget or Capital Budget of any material or
long-term consequence. In the event that Lessor believes Lessee has failed to

                                                                      -------
3.5 with respect to Capital Expenditures and the Capital Budget, then Lessor, in
- ---
addition to its other rights and remedies under this Lease and under applicable
law, shall have the right to submit to arbitration under Section 40.1 hereof the

Ohio, or such other locations in the continental United States of America where
accounting services are performed by Lessee or on Lessee's behalf and shall be

all reasonable times for examination, audit, inspection, and transcription. All
of such books and records pertaining to the Facility including, without
limitation, books of account, guest records and front office records, at all
times shall be the property of Lessor and shall not be removed from the Facility
or Lessee's offices without Lessor's prior written approval. Lessee shall be
entitled to make copies of any or all such books and records for its own files.
Lessee's obligations under this Section 3.6 shall survive termination of this
Lease for any reason.           -----------

     3.7 Performance Failures.
         --------------------
          (a) If,  with  respect to any Lease Year  during the Term,  commencing
with the Lease Year  beginning  January 1, 1998,  the RevPAR  Yield Index of the
Leased Property as of

                                       27
<PAGE>
 


the end of such  Lease  Year  shall  have  declined  by more than  fifteen  (15)
percentage points from the Leased Property's RevPAR Yield Index at the beginning
of the Term, such decline shall constitute a Market Decline (herein so called)
under this Lease except to the extent such failure is caused by an Unavoidable
Occurrence. As used herein, "RevPAR Yield Index," when used with respect to the
                             ------------------
Leased Property, shall mean the percentage amount obtained by dividing the
RevPAR of the Leased Property by the RevPAR of the Leased Property's Competitive
Set, with the terms "RevPAR" and "Competitive Set" having the meanings ascribed
                     ------       ---------------
to them in STR Reports. Lessor and Lessee shall work in good faith to determine
the Competitive Set to be used in the STR Report and, if Lessor and Lessee are
unable to agree, the Competitive Set shall be determined by Smith Travel
Research (or, if it refuses or is unable to do so, by arbitration pursuant to
Section 40.2). The existence of a Market Decline shall be determined on the
- ------------
basis of a STR Report which contains a full calendar year calculation of the
RevPAR Yield Index of the Leased Property. If STR Reports are no longer
published or do not contain sufficient information for the determination of a
Market Decline, the existence of a Market Decline shall instead be determined,
using the methodology presently employed by STR Reports, from information on the
RevPAR Yield Index of the Leased Property contained in any other publication
selected by Lessor and recognized by the hotel industry as being an
authoritative source of such information or, if no such publication exists, from
an analysis of the RevPAR Yield Index of the Leased Property conducted at
Lessee's expense by any nationally recognized accounting firm with a hospitality
division of which Lessor or an Affiliate of Lessor is not a significant client.

          (b) If,  with  respect to any Lease Year  during the Term,  commencing
with the Lease Year beginning January 1, 1998, the ratio of Gross Operating
Profit to Gross Revenues is less than twenty percent (20%), such event shall
constitute a Profit Decline (herein so called) under this Lease, provided,
however, the foregoing shall not constitute a Profit Decline to the extent (and
only to the extent) that the decline results from an Unavoidable Occurrence,
generally prevailing market conditions (including those affecting the hotel
industry generally) which affect hotels of comparable quality and service to
that of the Facility which are located within five (5) miles of the Facility, or
major renovations which materially reduce the availability of rooms at the
Facility. The existence of a Profit Decline shall be determined on the basis of
the year-end financial information submitted by Lessee to Lessor pursuant to
Article XXII and shall be subject to confirmation by Lessor's Audit.
- ------------
          (c) Upon the  occurrence of a Performance  Failure,  Lessor shall have
the right, at Lessor's option, to terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days'
notice to Lessee, in which event Lessee shall immediately surrender the Leased
Property to Lessor, and, if Lessee fails to so surrender, Lessor shall have the
right, without notice, to enter upon and take possession of the Leased Property
and to expel or remove Lessee and its effects without being liable for
prosecution or any claim for damages therefor; and Lessee shall, and hereby
agrees to, indemnify Lessor for the total of (1) in the event that Lessee does
not promptly surrender the Leased Property, the reasonable costs of recovering
the Leased Property and all other losses, liabilities and reasonable expenses
incurred by Lessor in connection with Lessee's failure to surrender; (2) the
unpaid Rent earned as of the date of termination, plus interest at the Overdue
Rate accruing after the due date; and (3) all other sums of money then owing by
Lessee to Lessor. Termination of this Lease and recovery of the Rent and other
amounts as aforesaid shall constitute Lessor's sole remedy for the Performance
Failure, and Lessee shall not be liable to Lessor for damages arising therefrom.

     3.8 Changes in Operations.  Without Lessor's prior written consent,  Lessee
         ---------------------
shall not (i) provide food and/or beverage operations at the Facility if not
presently provided, (ii) discontinue any food and/or beverage operations which
are presently provided, or (iii) convert a subtenant, licensee or concessionaire
to an operating department of the Facility or vice-versa.

     3.9  Allocation  of  Revenues.  In the  event  that  individuals  or groups
          ------------------------
purchase rooms, food and beverage and/or the use of other hotel facilities or
services together or as part of a package, Lessee agrees that revenues shall be
allocated among Room Revenues, Food Sales, Beverage Sales and/or other revenue
categories, as applicable, in a reasonable manner consistent with the historical
allocation of such revenues.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                                   IMPOSITIONS

     4.1 Payment of Impositions.
         ----------------------
          (a) Subject to Article XII relating to permitted contests, Lessee will
                         -----------
pay, or cause to be paid, all Impositions (other than Lessor Impositions, which
shall be paid by Lessor before any fine, penalty, interest or cost may be added
for non-payment), before any fine, penalty, interest or cost may be added for
nonpayment, such payments to be made directly to the taxing or other authorities
where feasible, and will promptly furnish to Lessor copies of official receipts
or other satisfactory proof evidencing such payments. Lessee's obligation to pay
such Impositions shall be deemed absolutely fixed upon the date such Impositions
become a lien upon the Leased Property or any part thereof, subject to Lessee's
right of contest pursuant to the provisions of Article XII. If any such
                                               -----------
Imposition which is the obligation of Lessee may, at the option of the taxpayer,
lawfully be paid in installments (whether or not interest shall accrue on the
unpaid balance of such Imposition), Lessee may exercise the option to pay the
same (and any accrued interest on the unpaid balance of such Imposition) in
installments payable during the Term and in such event, shall pay such
installments and any unpaid balance of such Impositions prior to the expiration
or earlier termination of the Term hereof and before any fine, penalty, premium,
further interest or cost may be added thereto.

          (b) Lessor, at its expense, shall, to the extent required or permitted
by applicable law, prepare and file all tax returns in respect of Lessor's net
income, gross receipts, sales and use, single business, transaction privilege,
rent, ad valorem, franchise taxes, Real Estate Taxes, Personal Property Taxes
and taxes on its capital stock, and Lessee, at its expense, shall, to the extent
required or permitted by applicable laws and regulations, prepare and file all
other tax returns and reports in respect of any Imposition as may be required by
governmental authorities.

          (c) If any refund shall be due from any taxing authority in respect of
any Imposition paid by Lessee, the same shall be paid over to or retained by
Lessee if no Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder and be continuing.
If an Event of Default shall have been declared by Lessor and be continuing, any
such refund shall be paid over to or retained by Lessor. Any such funds retained
by Lessor due to an Event of Default shall be applied as provided in Article
XVI.                                                                 -------

          (d) Lessor and Lessee shall, upon request of the other, cooperate with
the other party and otherwise provide such data as is maintained by the party to
whom the request is made with respect to the Leased Property as may be necessary
to prepare any required returns and reports. Lessee shall file all Personal
Property Tax returns in such jurisdictions where it is legally required to so
file. Lessor, to the extent it possesses the same, and Lessee, to the extent it
possesses the same, will provide the other party, upon request, with cost and
depreciation records necessary for filing returns for any property classified as
personal property. Where Lessor is legally required to file Personal Property
Tax returns, Lessee shall provide Lessor with copies of assessment notices in
sufficient time for Lessor to file a protest.

          (e) Lessor  may,  upon  notice to Lessee,  at  Lessor's  option and at
Lessor's sole expense, protest, appeal, or institute such other proceedings (in
its or Lessee's name) as Lessor may deem appropriate to effect a reduction of
real estate or personal property assessments for those Impositions to be paid by
Lessor, and Lessee, at Lessor's expense as aforesaid, shall fully cooperate with
Lessor in such protest, appeal, or other action. Lessor hereby agrees to
indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Lessee from and against any claims,
obligations, and liabilities against or incurred by Lessee in connection with
such cooperation. Billings for reimbursement of Personal Property Taxes by
Lessee to Lessor shall be accompanied by copies of a bill therefor and payments
thereof which identify the personal property with respect to which such payments
are made. Lessor, however, reserves the right to effect any such protest, appeal
or other action and, upon notice to Lessee, shall control any such activity,
which shall then proceed at Lessor's sole expense. Upon such notice, Lessee, at
Lessor's expense, shall cooperate fully with such activities.

          (f) To the extent  received by it,  Lessee shall  furnish  Lessor with
copies of all assessment notices for Real Estate Taxes and Personal Property
Taxes in sufficient time for Lessor to file a protest and pay such taxes without
penalty. Lessor shall within thirty (30) days after making such payment furnish
Lessee with evidence of payment of Capital Impositions, Real Estate Taxes and
Personal Property Taxes.

     4.2 Notice of Impositions. Lessor shall give prompt Notice to Lessee of all
         ---------------------
Impositions payable by Lessee hereunder of which Lessor at any time has
knowledge, provided that Lessor's failure to give any such Notice shall in no
way diminish Lessee's obligations hereunder to pay such Impositions, but if
Lessee did not otherwise have knowledge of such Imposition sufficient to permit
it to pay same, such failure shall obviate any default hereunder for a
reasonable time after Lessee receives Notice of any Imposition which it is
obligated to pay during the first taxing period applicable thereto.

     4.3  Adjustment  of  Impositions.  Impositions  payable by Lessee which are
          ---------------------------
imposed in respect of the tax-fiscal period during which the Term terminates
shall be adjusted and prorated between Lessor and Lessee, whether or not such
Imposition is imposed before or after such termination, and Lessee's obligation
to pay its prorated share thereof after termination shall survive such
termination.

     4.4 Utility  Charges.  Lessee will be solely  responsible for obtaining and
         ----------------
maintaining utility services to the Leased Property and will pay or cause to be
paid all charges for electricity, gas, oil, water, sewer and other utilities
used in the operation of the Leased Property during the Term.

                            NO TERMINATION, ABATEMENT

     5.1 No Termination, Abatement. Except as otherwise specifically provided in
         -------------------------
this Lease, Lessee, to the extent permitted by law, shall remain bound by this
Lease in accordance with its terms and shall neither take any action without the
written consent of Lessor to modify, surrender or terminate the same, nor seek
nor be entitled to any abatement, deduction, deferment or reduction of the Rent,
or setoff against the Rent, nor shall the obligations of Lessee be otherwise
affected by reason of (a) any damage to, or destruction of, any Leased Property
or any portion thereof from whatever cause or any Taking of the Leased Property
or any portion thereof, (b) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, winding up or other
proceedings affecting Lessor or any assignee or transferee of Lessor, or (c) for
any other cause whether similar or dissimilar to any of the foregoing other than
a discharge of Lessee from any such obligations as a matter of law. Lessee
hereby specifically waives all rights, arising from any default under this Lease
by Lessor which may now or hereafter be conferred upon it by law to (1) modify,
surrender or terminate this Lease or quit or surrender the Leased Property or
any portion thereof, or (2) entitle Lessee to any abatement, reduction,
suspension or deferment of or set off against the Rent or other sums payable by
Lessee hereunder, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease. The
obligations of Lessee hereunder shall be separate and independent covenants and
agreements and the Rent and all other sums payable by Lessee hereunder shall
continue to be payable in all events unless the obligations to pay the same
shall be terminated pursuant to the express provisions of this Lease or by
termination of this Lease including by reason of an Event of Default; provided,
however, nothing in this Section 5.1 shall preclude Lessor or Lessee from
                         -----------
enforcing its remedies pursuant to Section 16.2 or Article XXXIX, respectively.

                               PROPERTY OWNERSHIP

     6.1 Ownership of the Leased Property.  Lessee  acknowledges that the Leased
         --------------------------------
Property is the property of Lessor and that Lessee has only the right to the
possession and use of the Leased Property upon the terms and conditions of this
Lease.

     6.2 Lessee's Personal Property.
         --------------------------
          (a) Upon  commencement  of the Term,  (i) Lessee shall  purchase  from
Lessor all Consumable Supplies at the Facility for their fair market value, and
(ii) Lessor shall transfer to Lessee all Nonconsumable Inventory located at the
Facility on the Commencement Date (the "Initial Nonconsumable Inventory"). At
                                        -------------------------------
all times during the Term, Lessee shall maintain Inventory consistent with the
amount of inventory which is customarily maintained in a hotel of the type and
character of the Facility and is otherwise required to operate the Leased
Property in the manner contemplated by this Lease and in compliance with the
Franchise Agreement and all Legal Requirements. All Inventory shall be the
property of Lessee, subject to Lessee's obligations under Section 6.2(b). Lessee
                                                          --------------
may (and shall as provided hereinbelow), at its expense, install, affix or
assemble or place on any parcels of the Land or in any of the Leased
Improvements, any items of personal property (including Inventory) owned by
Lessee

                                       31
<PAGE>
 


(collectively,  the "Lessee's  Personal  Property").  Lessee may, subject to the
                     ----------------------------
second sentence of this Section 6.2(a) and the conditions set forth in Section
                        --------------                                 -------
6.2(b) below, remove any of Lessee's Personal Property set forth on such list at
- ------
any time during the Term or upon the expiration or any prior termination of the
Term. All of Lessee's Personal Property, other than Inventory, not removed by
Lessee within thirty (30) days following the expiration or earlier termination
of the Term shall be considered abandoned by Lessee and may be appropriated,
sold, destroyed or otherwise disposed of by Lessor without first giving Notice
thereof to Lessee, without any payment to Lessee and without any obligation to
account therefor. Lessee will, at its expense, restore the Leased Property to
the condition required by Section 9.1(d), including repair of all damage to the
                          --------------
Leased Property caused by the removal of Lessee's Personal Property, whether
effected by Lessee or Lessor.

         (b) Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term for any
reason, Lessee shall surrender the Leased Property to Lessor with an amount and
quality of Nonconsumable Inventory equal to the Initial Nonconsumable Inventory,
plus the value of any additional Nonconsumable Inventory that Lessee shall
obtain from Lessor subsequent to the date of this Lease, which Nonconsumable
Inventory shall be free and clear of all liens except those created by Lessor.
Consumable Supplies shall be purchased by and shall be the property of Lessee
and Lessee shall have no obligation to surrender such Consumable Supplies to
Lessor upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term.

          (c) Lessor and Lessee agree that, for federal income tax purposes, the
transfer of the Initial Nonconsumable Inventory from Lessor to Lessee upon
commencement of the Term shall be treated as a sale of the Initial Nonconsumable
Inventory for the fair market value thereof (the "Purchase Price"). The Purchase
                                                  --------------
Price, plus interest thereon at the applicable federal rate published pursuant
to Section 1274(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, shall be
payable in equal monthly installments over the Term and shall be credited
against amounts of Initial Base Rent or Fixed Base Rent, as the case may be, and
Percentage Rent payable under this Lease. Nothing in this Section 6.2(c) shall
                                                          --------------
be interpreted to give rise to any obligation of Lessee to make any payment to
Lessor, but instead this Section 6.2(c) is intended to characterize for federal
                         --------------
income tax purposes payments otherwise denominated as Rent as payments of the
Purchase Price and interest thereon. Lessor and Lessee shall determine the
Purchase Price in their joint inventory of the Facility to be conducted within
fifteen (15) days of the date hereof.

     6.3 Lessor's  Lien.  To the fullest  extent  permitted by  applicable  law,
         --------------
Lessor is granted a lien and security interest on all Lessee's Personal Property
now or hereinafter placed in or upon the Leased Property, and such lien and
security interest shall remain attached to such Lessee's Personal Property until
payment in full of all Rent and satisfaction of all of Lessee's obligations
hereunder; provided, however, Lessor shall subordinate its lien and security
interest only to that of any non-Affiliate of Lessee which finances such
Lessee's Personal Property (or which finances Doubletree Hotels Corporation with
a lien on such Lessee's Personal Property) or any non-Affiliate conditional
seller of such Lessee's Personal Property, the terms and conditions of such
subordination to be satisfactory to Lessor in the exercise of reasonable
discretion. Lessee shall, upon the request of Lessor, execute such financing
statements or other documents or instruments reasonably requested by Lessor to
perfect the lien and security interests herein granted. Lessor shall waive its
lien on Lessee's Personal Property to the extent such lien violates a negative
covenant to any non-Affiliate lender of Lessee or of Doubletree Hotels
Corporation.

                                 CONDITION, USE

     7.1  Condition  of the Leased  Property.  Lessee  acknowledges  receipt and
          ----------------------------------
delivery of possession of the Leased Property. Lessee has examined and otherwise
has knowledge of the condition of the Leased Property and has found the same to
be satisfactory for its purposes hereunder. Except as otherwise specifically
provided herein, Lessee is leasing the Leased Property "as is", "with all
faults", and in its present condition. Except as otherwise specifically provided
herein, Lessee waives any claim or action against Lessor in respect of the
condition of the Leased Property. LESSOR MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION,
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN RESPECT OF THE LEASED PROPERTY, OR ANY PART THEREOF,
EITHER AS TO ITS FITNESS FOR USE, DESIGN OR CONDITION FOR ANY PARTICULAR USE OR
PURPOSE OR OTHERWISE, AS TO THE QUALITY OF THE MATERIAL OR WORKMANSHIP THEREIN,
LATENT OR PATENT. LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE LEASED PROPERTY HAS BEEN
INSPECTED BY LESSEE AND IS SATISFACTORY TO IT. Lessor shall have the right to
proceed against any predecessor in title for breaches of warranties or
representations or for latent defects in the Leased Property, and Lessor shall,
if requested by Lessee, assign any such right to Lessee if and to the extent
Lessor determines not to exercise such right. If either party determines to
exercise such right, the other party shall fully cooperate in the prosecution of
any such claim, in Lessor's or Lessee's name, all at the cost and expense of the
prosecuting party, who hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the
other party from and against any claims, obligations and liabilities against or
incurred by such other party in connection with such cooperation, and who
further agrees to apply all amounts realized from the prosecution of such claim,
less its expenses in connection therewith, to remedy such breach or cure such
defect.

     7.2 Use of the Leased Property.
         --------------------------
          (a) Lessee  covenants  that it will proceed with all due  diligence to
obtain, and will obtain and maintain, all permits, licenses and approvals,
including, without limitation, liquor licenses, needed to use and operate the
Leased Property and the Facility under applicable local, state and federal law.
Lessor agrees to use its reasonable efforts to cooperate with Lessee in Lessee's
obtaining and maintaining such permits, licenses and approvals.

          (b) Lessee shall use or cause to be used the Leased Property only as a
hotel facility, and for such other uses as may be necessary or incidental to
such use, or such other use as otherwise approved by Lessor (the "Primary
                                                                  -------
Intended Use"). Lessee shall not use the Leased Property or any portion thereof
- ------------
for any other use without the prior written consent of Lessor. No use shall be
made or permitted to be made of the Leased Property, and no acts shall be done,
which will cause the cancellation of any insurance policy covering the Leased
Property or any part thereof (unless another adequate policy satisfactory to
Lessor is available and Lessee pays any premium increase), nor shall Lessee sell
or permit to be kept, used or sold in or about the Leased Property any article
which is prohibited by law or fire underwriter's regulations. Lessee shall
comply with all of the requirements pertaining to the Leased Property of any
insurance board, association, organization or company necessary for the
maintenance of insurance, as herein provided, covering the Leased Property and
Lessee's Personal Property, which compliance shall be performed at Lessee's sole
cost except to the extent that such

                                       33
<PAGE>
 


compliance requires the performance of a Capital Improvement or the payment of a
Capital Imposition.

          (c) Subject to the provisions of Articles XIV and XV, Lessee covenants
                                           ------------     --
and agrees that during the Term it will either directly or through an approved
manager (1) operate continuously the Leased Property as a hotel facility, (2)
keep in full force and effect and comply in all material respects with all the
provisions of the Franchise Agreement, (3) not terminate or amend in any respect
the Franchise Agreement without the consent of Lessor, (4) maintain appropriate
certifications and licenses for such use and (5) keep Lessor advised of the
status of any material litigation affecting the Leased Property.

          (d) Subject to Lessor's obligations  hereunder with respect to Capital
Improvements and Capital Expenditures and to the last sentence of Section
                                                                  -------
38.1(b), Lessee shall not commit or suffer to be committed any waste on the
- -------
Leased Property, or in the Facility, nor shall Lessee cause or permit any
nuisance thereon.

          (e) Lessee shall neither suffer nor permit the Leased  Property or any
portion thereof, or Lessee's Personal Property, to be used in such a manner as
(1) might reasonably tend to impair Lessor's (or Lessee's, as the case may be)
title thereto or to any portion thereof, or (2) may reasonably make possible a
claim or claims of adverse usage or adverse possession by the public, as such,
or of implied dedication of the Leased Property or any portion thereof.

          (f) Lessee  acknowledges and agrees that all employees involved in the
use and operation of the Leased Property shall be employees of Lessee, Manager,
or one of their Affiliates and not of Lessor or any of its Affiliates. Lessee,
its Manager, and their Affiliates shall fully comply with all Legal Requirements
(subject to Lessor's obligations with respect to Capital Improvements and
Capital Expenditures and to the last sentence of Section 38.1(b)) and all
                                                 ---------------
collective bargaining and other agreements applicable to such employees. Upon
the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, all such employees shall be
terminated or retained by Lessee, Manager or their Affiliate, as applicable, and
Lessee, Manager or their Affiliate, as applicable, shall provide any required
notices or other rights to such employees, all without liability to Lessor or
the Hotel, or any other owner, lessee or manager of the Hotel. Payment of all
costs and expenses associated with accrued but unpaid salary, earned but unpaid
vacation pay, accrued but unearned vacation pay, pension and welfare benefits,
the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended ("COBRA")
                                                                         -----
benefits, employee fringe benefits, employee termination payments or any other
employee benefits due to such employees, shall be the sole responsibility and
obligation of and shall be paid when due by Lessee, Manager or their Affiliate,
as applicable. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, any
owner, manager or lessee of the Hotel shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to extend offers of employment to some or all of such employees on
such terms and conditions as are determined solely in such party's discretion.
Lessee, Manager or their Affiliate, as applicable, shall provide any notices,
coverages or other rights as shall be required to comply with the medical
coverage continuation requirements of COBRA to any persons who are entitled to
such rights by virtue of the maintenance of any group health plan by Lessee,
Manager or their Affiliate, as applicable. Lessee shall indemnify, defend and
hold harmless Lessor, the Hotel, and any other owner, lessee or manager of the
Hotel, from and against any and all claims, causes of action, proceedings,
judgments, damages, penalties, liabilities, costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorney's fees and disbursements) arising out of the employment or

                               LEGAL REQUIREMENTS

     8.1 Compliance with Legal and Insurance  Requirements.  Subject to Sections
         -------------------------------------------------              --------
8.2 and 8.3 and Article XII relating to permitted contests and Lessor's
- -----------     -----------
obligations with respect to Capital Improvements and Capital Expenditures and to
the last sentence of Section 38.1(b), Lessee, at its expense, will promptly (a)
                     ---------------
comply with all applicable Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements in
respect of the use, operation, maintenance, repair and restoration of the Leased
Property, and (b) procure, maintain and comply with all appropriate licenses and
other authorizations required for any use of the Leased Property and Lessee's
Personal Property then being made, and for the proper operation and maintenance
of the Leased Property or any part thereof.

     8.2 Legal Requirement  Covenants.  Subject to Section 8.3, Lessee covenants
         ----------------------------              -----------
and agrees that (i) the Leased Property and Lessee's Personal Property shall not
be used for any unlawful purpose, and that Lessee shall not permit or suffer to
exist any unlawful use of the Leased Property by others, (ii) Lessee shall
acquire and maintain all appropriate licenses, certifications, permits and other
authorizations and approvals needed to operate the Leased Property in its
customary manner for the Primary Intended Use, and any other lawful use
conducted on the Leased Property as may be permitted from time to time hereunder
and (iii) Lessee's use of the Leased Property and maintenance, alteration, and
operation of the same, and all parts thereof, shall at all times conform to all
Legal Requirements, unless the same are finally determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be unlawful (and Lessee shall cause all such
sub-tenants, invitees or others to so comply with all Legal Requirements).

     8.3  Environmental  Covenants.  Lessor  and  Lessee  covenant  and agree as
follows:  ------------------------

          (a) At all times hereafter until Lessee completely  vacates the Leased
Property and surrenders possession of the same to Lessor, Lessee shall fully
comply with all Environmental Laws applicable to the Leased Property and the
operations thereon, except to the extent that such compliance would require the
remediation of Environmental Liabilities for which Lessee has no indemnity
obligations under Section 8.3(b). Lessee agrees to give Lessor prompt written
                  --------------
notice of (1) all Environmental Liabilities of which Lessee has been notified in
writing or of which an executive officer of Lessee and/or the property manager
of the Facility is aware; (2) all pending or overtly threatened Proceedings, and
all notices, demands, requests or investigations, relating to any Environmental
Liability or relating to the issuance, revocation or change in any Environmental
Authorization required for operation of the Leased Property of which Lessee has
been notified in writing or of which an executive officer of Lessee and/or the
property manager of the Facility is aware; (3) all Releases of which Lessee has
been notified in writing or of which an executive officer of Lessee and/or the
property manager of the Facility is aware, in amounts required to be reported or
remediated under Environmental Laws at, on, in, under or in any way affecting
the Leased Property, or any Release at, on, in or under any property adjacent to
the Leased Property of which Lessee has been notified in writing or of

                                       35
<PAGE>
 


which an executive officer of Lessee and/or the property manager of the Facility
is aware; and (4) all facts, events or conditions of which Lessee has been
notified in writing or of which an executive officer of Lessee and/or the
property manager of the Facility is aware, which notice indicates or which
executive officer or property manager is aware could reasonably lead to the
occurrence of any of the above-referenced matters.

          (b) LESSEE WILL  PROTECT,  INDEMNIFY,  HOLD HARMLESS AND DEFEND LESSOR
INDEMNIFIED PARTIES FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES TO
THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW INCLUDING THOSE RESULTING FROM A LESSOR INDEMNIFIED
PARTIES' OWN NEGLIGENCE WHICH ARISE OR ACCRUE DURING THE PERIOD BETWEEN THE
COMMENCEMENT DATE AND THE DATE LESSEE COMPLETELY VACATES THE LEASED PROPERTY,
except to the extent that the same (i) are caused by the intentionally wrongful
or grossly negligent acts of Lessor Indemnified Parties or grossly negligent
failures to act of Lessor, or (ii) result from conditions existing at the Leased
Property at the date of this Lease (an "Existing Condition") or from Releases or
                                        ------------------
other violations of Environmental Laws originating on property other than the
Leased Property but affecting the Leased Property (a "Migration"), or (iii)
                                                      ---------
Lessor fails to make funds available to remediate an Existing Condition or
Migration if and as required below, provided that such exclusions shall not
apply to the extent that an Existing Condition or Migration has been exacerbated
by Lessee's wrongful or negligent acts, or by Lessee's wrongful or negligent
failures to act if and only if Lessee is obligated to act pursuant to the
following sentence. Lessee shall respond to an Emergency Situation relating to
such Existing Condition or Migration in a manner that would be expected of a
prudent lessee under similar circumstances. With respect to non-Emergency
Situations, Lessee may require Lessor to perform any mitigation or remediations
to the extent such remediation or mitigation requires the expenditure of Capital
Expenditures and to the extent Lessee is not otherwise liable for the payment of
such Capital Expenditures under this Section 8.3(b). Notwithstanding the
                                     --------------
provisions of Section 38.1(b) hereof, as to expenditures required to mitigate or
              ---------------
remediate Existing Conditions or Migrations which constitute Capital
Expenditures (other than Capital Expenditures for which Lessee is liable under
this Section 8.3), Lessor shall pay for such Capital Expenditures without
     -----------
affecting Lessor's obligations to make available funds in or to continue to
accrue the Capital Expenditures Reserve; however, to the extent (but only to the
extent) that it will not materially and adversely affect the five (5) year
Capital Budgets, Lessor shall receive a pro rata credit for such Capital
Expenditures against amounts which Lessor is obligated to accrue for the Capital
Expenditures Reserve. Any dispute regarding the effect of such Capital
Expenditures on the five (5) year Capital Budget and any credit therefor against
accruals under the Capital Expenditures Reserve may be resolved by arbitration
pursuant to Section 40.2. Lessee shall not be deemed to have acted or failed to
            ------------
have acted wrongfully or negligently if any such action it takes or fails to
take is taken or not taken in accordance with the written advice of a licensed
professional environmental engineer Approved in writing by Lessor, or such
action (or inaction) is Approved in writing by Lessor.

          (c) Lessor  hereby  agrees to defend,  indemnify and save harmless any
and all Lessee Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Environmental
Liabilities to the extent that the same were caused by the intentionally
wrongful acts or grossly negligent failures to act of Lessor or to the extent
(but only to the extent) that the same were caused by or exacerbated by Lessor's
failure to make funds available to remediate an Existing Condition or Migration
if and as required above after Notice to Lessor that such remediation is
required.

          (d) If any  Proceeding  is brought  against any  Indemnified  Party in
respect of an Environmental Liability with respect to which such Indemnified
Party may claim indemnification under either Section 8.3(b) or (c), the
                                             ---------------------
Indemnifying Party, upon request, shall at its sole expense resist and defend
such Proceeding, or cause the same to be resisted and defended by counsel
designated by the Indemnifying Party and approved by the Indemnified Party,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that such
approval shall not be required in the case of defense by counsel designated by
any insurance company undertaking such defense pursuant to any applicable policy
of insurance. Each Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate
counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but
the fees and expenses of such counsel will be at the sole expense of such
Indemnified Party unless a conflict of interest prevents representation of such
Indemnified Party by the counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and such
separate counsel has been approved by the Indemnifying Party, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable
for any settlement of any such Proceeding made without its consent, which shall
not be unreasonably withheld, but if settled with the consent of the
Indemnifying Party, or if settled without its consent (if its consent shall be
unreasonably withheld), or if there be a final, nonappealable judgment for an
adversary party in any such Proceeding, the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify
and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any liabilities
incurred by such Indemnified Parties by reason of such settlement or judgement.

          (e)  At  any  time  any  Indemnified   Party  has  reason  to  believe
circumstances exist which could reasonably result in an Environmental Liability,
upon reasonable prior written notice to Lessee stating such Indemnified Party's
basis for such belief, an Indemnified Party shall be given immediate access to
the Leased Property (including, but not limited to, the right to enter upon,
investigate, drill wells, take soil borings, excavate, monitor, test, cap and
use available land for the testing of remedial technologies), Lessee's
employees, and to all relevant documents and records regarding the matter as to
which a responsibility, liability or obligation is asserted or which is the
subject of any Proceeding; provided that such access may be conditioned or
restricted as may be reasonably necessary to ensure compliance with law and the
safety of personnel and facilities or to protect confidential or privileged
information. All Indemnified Parties requesting such immediate access and
cooperation shall endeavor to coordinate such efforts to result in as minimal
interruption of the operation of the Leased Property as practicable.

          (f) The  indemnification  rights and obligations  provided for in this
Article VIII shall be in addition to any indemnification rights and obligations
- ------------
provided for elsewhere in this Lease.

          (g) The  indemnification  rights and obligations  provided for in this
Article VIII shall survive the termination of this Lease.
- ------------

          For   purposes  of  this  Section  8.3,  all  amounts  for  which  any
                                    ------------
Indemnified Party seeks indemnification shall be computed net of (a) any actual
income tax benefit resulting therefrom to such Indemnified Party, (b) any
insurance proceeds received (net of tax effects) with respect thereto, and (c)
any amounts recovered (net of tax effects) from any third parties based on
claims the Indemnified Party has against such third parties which reduce the
damages that would otherwise be sustained; provided that in all cases, the
timing of the receipt or

                                       37
<PAGE>
 


realization  of  insurance  proceeds or income tax benefits or  recoveries  from
third parties shall be taken into account in determining the amount of reduction
of damages. Each Indemnified Party agrees to use its reasonable efforts to
pursue, or assign to Lessee or Lessor, as the case may be, any claims or rights
it may have against any third party which would materially reduce the amount of
damages otherwise incurred by such Indemnified Party.

                                   ARTICLE IX
                                   ----------

                             MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS
                             -----------------------

     9.1 Maintenance and Repair.
         ----------------------
          (a) Except as provided in Section 9.1(b),  Lessee will keep the Leased
                                    --------------
Property and all private roadways, sidewalks and curbs appurtenant thereto that
are under Lessee's control, including windows and plate glass, parking lots,
HVAC, mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems and equipment (including
conduit and ductware), and non-load bearing interior walls, in good order and
repair, except for ordinary wear and tear (whether or not the need for such
repairs occurred as a result of Lessee's use, any prior use, the elements or the
age of the Leased Property, or any portion thereof but subject to the obligation
to make necessary and appropriate repairs and replacements as provided in this
Section 9.1(a)), and, except as otherwise provided in Section 9.1(b), Article
- --------------                                        --------------  -------
XIV or Article XV, with reasonable promptness, make all necessary and
- ---    ----------
appropriate repairs, replacements and improvements thereto of every kind and
nature, whether interior or exterior ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or
unforeseen or arising by reason of a condition existing prior to the
commencement of the Term of this Lease (concealed or otherwise), or required by
any governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Leased Property. Lessee,
however, shall be permitted to prosecute claims against Lessor's predecessors in
title for breach of any representation or warranty or for any latent defects in
the Leased Property to be maintained by Lessee unless Lessor is already
diligently pursuing such a claim. All repairs shall, to the extent reasonably
achievable, be at least equivalent in quality to the original work. Lessee will
not take or omit to take any action, the taking or omission of which might
materially impair the value or the usefulness of the Leased Property or any part
thereof for its Primary Intended Use. If Lessee fails to make any required
repairs or replacements after fifteen (15) days notice from Lessor, or after
such longer period as may be reasonably required provided that Lessee at all
times diligently proceeds with such repair or replacement, then Lessor shall
have the right, but shall not be obligated, to make such repairs or replacements
on behalf of and for the account of Lessee. In such event, such work shall be
paid for in full by Lessee as Additional Charges.

          (b)  Notwithstanding  Lessee's  obligations under Section 9.1(a) above
                                                            --------------
but subject to the limitations on Lessor's obligations to make Capital
Expenditures available for Capital Improvements as set forth in Article XXXVIII,
                                                                ---------------
unless caused by Lessee's negligence or willful misconduct or that of its
employees, contractor or agents (but subject to Section 13.4), Lessor shall be
                                                ------------
required to make all Capital Expenditures. Except as set forth in the preceding
sentence, Lessor shall not under any circumstances be required to build or
rebuild any improvement on the Leased Property, or to make any repairs,
replacements, alterations, restorations or renewals of any nature or description
to the Leased Property, whether ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or
unforeseen, or to make any expenditure whatsoever with respect thereto, in
connection with this Lease, or to maintain the Leased Property in any way.
Lessee

                                       38
<PAGE>
 


hereby waives,  to the extent permitted by law, the right to make repairs at the
expense of Lessor pursuant to any law in effect at the time of the execution of
this Lease or hereafter enacted. Lessor shall have the right to give, record and
post, as appropriate, notices of non-responsibility under any mechanic's lien
laws now or hereafter existing.

          (c)  Nothing  contained  in this  Lease and no action or  inaction  by
Lessor shall be construed as (1) constituting the request of Lessor, expressed
or implied, to any contractor, subcontractor, laborer, materialman or vendor to
or for the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any
materials or other property for the construction, alteration, addition, repair
or demolition of or to the Leased Property or any part thereof, or (2) giving
Lessee any right, power or permission to contract for or permit the performance
of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in
such fashion as would permit the making of any claim against Lessor and any
ground lessor(s) in respect thereof or to make any agreement that may create, or
in any way be the basis for any right, title, interest, lien, claim or other
encumbrance upon the estate of Lessor in the Leased Property, or any portion
thereof.

          (d) Lessee will, upon the expiration or prior termination of the Term,
vacate and surrender the Leased Property to Lessor in the condition in which the
Leased Property was originally received from Lessor, except as repaired,
rebuilt, restored, altered or added to as permitted or required by the
provisions of this Lease and except for ordinary wear and tear (subject to the
obligation of Lessee to maintain the Leased Property in good order and repair in
accordance with Section 9.1(a) above during the entire Term) or damage by
                --------------
casualty or Condemnation (subject to the terms of Articles XIV and XV and
                                                  -------------------

Capital Expenditures).

                                   ALTERATIONS

     10.1  Alterations.  Subject to first  obtaining  the  written  approval  of
           -----------
Lessor, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and to first
obtaining any required written approval from a Holder, Lessee may, but shall not
be obligated to, make such additions, modifications or improvements to the
Leased Property from time to time as Lessee deems desirable for its permitted
uses and purposes, provided that such action will not alter the character or
purposes of the Leased Property or detract from the value or operating
efficiency thereof and will not impair the revenue-producing capability of the
Leased Property or adversely affect the ability of the Lessee or Lessor to
comply with the provisions of this Lease. All such work shall be performed in a
first class manner in accordance with all applicable governmental rules and
regulations and after receipt of all required permits and licenses. If
reasonably required by Lessor all such work shall be covered by performance
bonds issued by bonding companies reasonably acceptable to Lessor. The cost of
such additions, modifications or improvements to the Leased Property shall be
paid by Lessee, and all such additions, modifications and improvements shall,
without payment by Lessor at any time, be included under the terms of this Lease
and upon expiration or earlier termination of this Lease shall pass to and
become the property of Lessor.

     10.2  Salvage.  All  materials  which are scrapped or removed in connection
           -------
with the making of repairs required by Articles IX or X shall be or become the
                                       -----------    -
property of Lessor or Lessee depending on which party is paying for or providing
the financing for such work.

     10.3 Lessor  Alterations.  Lessor  shall have the right,  without  Lessee's
          -------------------
consent, to make or cause to be made alterations and additions to the Leased
Property required in connection with (i) Emergency Situations, (ii) Legal
Requirements, (iii) maintenance of the Franchise Agreement or of Doubletree
Standards, as applicable, and (iv) the performance by Lessor of its obligations
under this Lease. Lessor shall have the right to make other alterations and
additions subject to Lessee's consent, but such consent shall not be withheld,
(a) if such alterations or additions are to be made prior to the last
twenty-four (24) months of the Term and such alterations or additions will
materially increase Gross Revenues and are not replacements of depreciated
assets (such as recarpeting due to wear and tear which are otherwise included
within Lessor's obligations under this Lease) and such alterations or additions
will not materially and adversely impair the operating efficiency or revenue
producing capability of the Leased Property or the ability of Lessee to comply
with the provisions of this Lease during the remainder of the Term, or (b) if
Lessor agrees not to add the cost of such alterations or additions to Total
Hotel Cost and such alterations or additions will not materially and adversely
impair the operating efficiency or revenue producing capability of the Leased
Property or the ability of Lessee to comply with the provisions of this Lease
during the remainder of the Term. All such work unless necessitated by Lessee's
acts or omissions or unless otherwise required to be performed by Lessee under
this Lease (in which event work shall be paid for by Lessee) shall be performed
at Lessor's expense, in compliance with all Legal Requirements, in a good and
workmanlike manner and shall be done after reasonable notice to and coordination
with Lessee, so as to minimize any disruptions or interference with the
operation of the Facility. Lessor and Lessee shall each have the right, in
addition to its other rights and remedies under this Lease and applicable law,
to refer to arbitration as provided for in Section 40.2 hereof any disagreement
                                           ------------
arising out of the provisions of this Section 10.3.

                                      LIENS

     11.1 Liens.  Subject to the  provision of Article XII relating to permitted
          -----                                -----------
contests, Lessee will not directly or indirectly create or allow to remain and
will promptly discharge at its expense any lien, encumbrance, attachment, title
retention agreement or claim upon the Leased Property resulting from the action
or inaction of Lessee, or any attachment, levy, claim or encumbrance in respect
of the Rent resulting from the action or inaction of Lessee, excluding, however,
(a) this Lease, (b) the matters, if any, included as exceptions or insured
against in the title policy insuring Lessor's interest in the Leased Property,
(c) restrictions, liens and other encumbrances resulting from the action or
inaction of Lessor, (d) liens for those taxes which Lessee is not required to
pay hereunder, (e) subleases permitted by Article XXI hereof, (f) liens for
                                          -----------
Impositions or for sums resulting from noncompliance with Legal Requirements to
the extent Lessee is responsible hereunder for such compliance so long as (1)
the same are not yet delinquent or (2) such liens are in the process of being
contested as permitted by Article XII, (g) liens of mechanics, laborers,
                          -----------
suppliers or vendors for sums either disputed or not yet due provided that any
such liens for disputed sums are in the process of being contested as permitted

                                       40

by Article XII hereof,  and (h) any liens which are the responsibility of Lessor
   -----------
pursuant to the provisions of this Lease.

                                   ARTICLE XII

                               PERMITTED CONTESTS

     12.1 Permitted Contests.  Lessee shall have the right to contest the amount
          ------------------
or validity of any Imposition to be paid by Lessee or any Legal Requirement to
be satisfied by Lessee hereunder or any lien, attachment, levy, encumbrance,
charge or claim (any such Imposition, Legal Requirement, lien, attachment, levy,
encumbrance, charge or claim herein referred to as "Claims") not otherwise
                                                    ------
permitted by Article XI, by appropriate legal proceedings in good faith and with
             ----------
due diligence (but this shall not be deemed or construed in any way to relieve,
modify or extend Lessee's covenants to pay or its covenants to cause to be paid
any such charges at the time and in the manner as in this Article provided), on
condition, however, that such legal proceedings shall not operate to relieve
Lessee from its obligations hereunder and shall not cause the sale or risk the
loss of any portion of the Leased Property, or any part thereof, or cause Lessor
or Lessee to be in default under any mortgage, deed of trust, security deed or
other agreement encumbering the Leased Property or any interest therein. Upon
the request of Lessor, as security for the payment of such Claims, Lessee shall
either (a) provide a bond or other assurance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor
(and satisfactory to any Holder, if approval thereof is required by such
Holder's Mortgage) that all Claims which may be assessed against the Leased
Property together with interest and penalties, if any, thereon and legal fees
anticipated to be incurred in connection therewith will be paid, or (b) deposit
within the time otherwise required for payment with a bank or trust company
designated by Lessor as trustee upon terms reasonably satisfactory to Lessor, or
with any Holder upon terms satisfactory to such Holder, money in an amount
sufficient to pay the same, together with interest and penalties thereon and
legal fees anticipated to be incurred in connection therewith, as to all Claims
which may be assessed against or become a Claim on the Leased Property, or any
part thereof, in said legal proceedings. Lessee shall furnish Lessor and any
Holder with reasonable evidence of such deposit within five days of the same.
Lessor agrees to join in any such proceedings if the same be required to legally
prosecute such contest of the validity of such Claims; provided, however, that
Lessor shall not thereby be subjected to any liability for the payment of any
costs or expenses in connection with any proceedings brought by Lessee; and
Lessee covenants to indemnify and save harmless Lessor from any such costs or
expenses. Lessee shall be entitled to any refund of any Claims and such charges
and penalties or interest thereon which have been paid by Lessee or paid by
Lessor and for which Lessor has been fully reimbursed. In the event that Lessee
fails to pay any Claims when due or to provide the security therefor as provided
in this paragraph and to diligently prosecute any contest of the same, Lessor
may, upon ten days advance Notice to Lessee, pay such charges together with any
interest and penalties and the same shall be repayable by Lessee to Lessor as
Additional Charges at the next Payment Date provided for in this Lease.
Provided, however, that should Lessor reasonably determine that the giving of
such Notice would risk loss to the Leased Property or cause damage to Lessor,
then Lessor shall only give such Notice as is practical under the circumstances.
Lessor reserves the right to contest any of the Claims at its expense not
pursued by Lessee. Lessor and Lessee agree to cooperate in coordinating the
contest of any Claims.

                                   INSURANCE

     13.1 General Insurance Requirements.

          (a)  Coverages.  During the Term of this  Lease,  the Leased  Property
               ---------
shall at all times be insured with the kinds and amounts of insurance described
below. This insurance shall be written by companies authorized to issue
insurance in the State. The policies must name the party obtaining the policy as
the insured and the other party as an additional insured as its interests may
appear, and the Manager shall also be named as an additional insured as its
interests may appear under the coverages described in Sections 13.1(a)(iv)
                                                      --------------------
through (xi). Losses shall be payable to Lessor or Lessee as provided in this
- ------------
Lease. Any loss adjustment for coverages insuring both parties shall require the
written consent of Lessor and Lessee, each acting reasonably and in good faith.
Evidence of insurance shall be deposited with Lessor. The policies on the Leased
Property, including the Leased Improvements, Fixtures and Lessee's Personal
Property, shall at all times satisfy the requirements of the Franchise Agreement
and of any ground lease, mortgage, security agreement or other financing lien
affecting the Leased Property and at a minimum shall include:

          Risk" form) (including earthquake and flood in reasonable amounts if
          and as determined by Lessor) in an amount not less than 100% of the
          then full replacement cost thereof (as defined in Section 13.2) or
                                                            ------------

          insurance on the "Special Form" in the full amount of the replacement
          cost thereof;

                    (ii) Insurance for loss or damage (direct and indirect) from
          steam boilers, pressure vessels or similar apparatus, air conditioning
          systems, piping and machinery, and sprinklers, if any, now or
          hereafter installed in the Facility, in the minimum amount of
          $5,000,000 or in such greater amounts as are then customary or as may
          be reasonably requested by Lessor from time to time;

                    (iii) Loss of income insurance on the "Special Form", in the
          amount of one year of the greater of (a) Initial Base Rent or Fixed
          Base Rent, as applicable, or (b) Percentage Rent (based on the last
          Lease Year of operation or, to the extent the Leased Property has not
          been operated for an entire 12-month Lease Year, based on prorated
          Percentage Rent) for the benefit of Lessor, and business interruption
          insurance on the "Special Form" in the amount of one year of gross
          profit, for the benefit of Lessee;

                    (iv) Commercial general liability insurance, with
          contractual indemnity endorsement, with amounts not less than
          $1,000,000 combined single limit for each occurrence and $2,000,000
          for the aggregate of all occurrences within each policy year, as well
          as excess liability (umbrella) insurance with limits of at least
          $50,000,000 per occurrence, covering each of the following: bodily
          injury, death, or property damage liability per occurrence, personal
          injury, general aggregate, products and completed operations, with
          respect to Lessee, and "all risk legal

                                       42

          liability" (including liquor law or "dram shop" liability, if liquor 
          or alcoholic beverages are served on the Leased Property) with

                    (v) Fidelity bonds or blanket crime policies with limits and
          deductibles as may be reasonably determined by Lessor, covering

          prudent hotel management practices in the United States or otherwise
          required by law;

                    (vi) Workers' compensation insurance to the extent necessary

          state laws;

                    (vii) Comprehensive form vehicle liability insurance for
          owned, non- owned, and hired vehicles, in the amount of $1,000,000;

                    (viii) Garagekeeper's legal liability insurance covering
          both comprehensive and collision-type losses with a limit of liability
          of $3,000,000 for any one occurrence, of which coverage in excess of
          $1,000,000 may be provided by way of an excess liability policy;

                    (ix) Innkeeper's legal liability insurance covering property
          of guests while on the Leased Property for which Lessor is legally
          responsible with a limit of not less than $5,000 in any one occurrence
          or $25,000 annual aggregate;

                    (x) Safe deposit box legal liability insurance covering
          property of guests while in a safe deposit box on the Leased Property

          $100,000 in any one occurrence; and

                    (xi) Insurance covering such other hazards (such as plate
          glass or other common risks) and in such amounts as may be (A)
          required by a Holder, or (B) customary for comparable properties in
          the area of the Leased Property and is available from insurance
          companies, insurance pools or other appropriate companies authorized
          to do business in the State at rates which are economically
          practicable in relation to the risks covered as may be reasonably
          determined by Lessor.

              (b)  Responsibility   for  Insurance.   Lessee  shall  obtain  the
                   -------------------------------
insurance and pay the premiums for the coverages described in Sections
                                                              --------
13.1(a)(iv) through (x), and Lessor shall obtain the insurance and pay the
- -----------------------
premiums for the coverages described in Sections 13.1(a)(i) through (iii),
                                        ---------------------------------
provided that Lessee shall reimburse Lessor immediately after demand therefor
for any premiums paid by Lessor for the coverages required under Section
                                                                 -------
13.1(a)(i) to the extent that the premiums relate to coverages for property
- ----------
owned by Lessee or coverages which benefit Lessee. Insurance required by Section
                                                                         -------
13.1(a)(xi) shall be obtained and paid for by Lessor to the extent that it
- -----------
relates to risks of the type covered by the insurance obtained pursuant to
Sections 13.1(a)(i) through (iii), and obtained and paid for by Lessee if it
- ---------------------------------  
relates to risks of the type covered by the insurance obtained pursuant to
Sections 13.1(a)(iv) through (x). The party responsible for the premium for any
- --------------------------------
insurance coverage shall also be responsible for any

                                       43
<PAGE>
 


and  all  deductibles  and  self-insured  retentions  in  connection  with  such
coverages. In the event that either party can obtain comparable insurance
coverage required to be carried by the other party from comparable insurers and
at a cost significantly less than that at which such other party can obtain such
coverage, the parties shall cooperate in good faith to obtain such coverage at
the lower cost and shall allocate the premiums therefor in accordance with the
provisions of the first sentence of this Section 13.1(b). In addition to the
                                         ---------------
rights set forth in Sections 17.1 and 39.1, if any party responsible for
                    ----------------------
obtaining and maintaining the insurance required under this Lease fails to do so
or fails to obtain renewals or substitutions therefor at least fifteen (15) days
before such insurance will lapse, the other party may obtain such insurance and
the defaulting party shall reimburse the party obtaining such insurance for the
cost thereof promptly upon demand, together with interest thereon at the Overdue
Rate until such cost is repaid by the defaulting party.

     13.2  Replacement  Cost.  The term "full  replacement  cost" as used herein
           -----------------             -----------------------
shall mean the actual replacement cost of the Leased Property requiring
replacement from time to time including an increased cost of construction
endorsement, if available, and the cost of debris removal. In the event either
party believes that full replacement cost has increased or decreased at any time
during the Term, it shall have the right to have such full replacement cost
redetermined.

     13.3 (Intentionally omitted)

     13.4 Waiver of Subrogation. Lessor and Lessee each waive any and all rights
          ---------------------
of recovery against the other (and against the partners, officers, employees and
agents of the other party) for loss of or damage to such waiving party or its
property or the property of others under its control, to the extent such loss or
damage is covered by, or in the event the responsible party fails to maintain
the required insurance hereunder, would have been covered by, the insurance
required to be obtained by such waiving party under Sections 13.1(a)(i) through
                                                    ---------------------------
(iii); provided, however, that this waiver does not apply to any rights that
- -----
either party may have to insurance proceeds from their respective insurance
policies at the time of such loss or damage. In obtaining policies of property
insurance on their respective interests in the personal property and
improvements located in the Leased Property, Lessor and Lessee shall give notice
to their respective insurance carriers that the foregoing mutual waiver of
subrogation is contained in this Lease; and Lessor and Lessee shall each obtain
from their insurance carriers a consent to such waiver.

     13.5 Form  Satisfactory,  etc. All of the policies of insurance referred to
          -------------------------
in this Article XIII shall be written in a form, with deductibles and by
        ------------
insurance companies reasonably satisfactory to Lessor and shall satisfy the
requirements of any ground lease, mortgage, security agreement or other
financing lien on the Leased Property and of the Franchise Agreement. The party
responsible for obtaining any policy shall pay all of the premiums therefor, and
deliver copies of such policies or certificates thereof to the other party prior
to their effective date (and, with respect to any renewal policy, thirty (30)
days prior to the expiration of the existing policy), and in the event of the
failure of the responsible party either to effect such insurance as herein
called for or to pay the premiums therefor, or to deliver such policies or
certificates thereof to the other party at the times required, such other party
shall be entitled, but shall have no obligation, after ten (10) days' Notice to
the responsible party (or after less than ten (10) days' Notice if required to
prevent the expiration of any existing policy), to effect such insurance

                                       44
<PAGE>
 


and pay the premiums  therefor,  and to be reimbursed for any such premiums upon
written demand therefor. Each insurer mentioned in this Article XIII shall
                                                        ------------
agree, by endorsement to the policy or policies issued by it, or by independent
instrument furnished to the party not responsible hereunder for obtaining such
policy, that it will give to such party thirty (30) days' written notice before
the policy or policies in question shall be materially altered, allowed to
expire or canceled.

     13.6  Increase in Limits.  If either Lessor or Lessee at any time deems the
           ------------------
limits of the personal injury or property damage under the comprehensive public
liability insurance then carried to be either excessive or insufficient, Lessor
and Lessee shall endeavor in good faith to agree on the proper and reasonable
limits for such insurance to be carried and such insurance shall thereafter be
carried with the limits thus agreed on until further change pursuant to the
provisions of this Section. If the parties fail to agree on such limits, the
matter shall be referred to arbitration as provided for in Section 40.1.
                                                           ------------
However, in no event shall such limits fail to satisfy the requirements of the
Franchise Agreement and of any ground lease, Mortgage, security agreement or
other financing lien affecting the Leased Property.

     13.7 Blanket Policy.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
          --------------
this Article XIII, Lessee or Lessor may bring the insurance provided for herein
     ------------
within the coverage of a so-called blanket policy or policies of insurance
carried and maintained by Lessee or Lessor; provided, however, that the coverage
afforded to Lessor and Lessee will not be reduced or diminished or otherwise be
different from that which would exist under a separate policy meeting all other
requirements of this Lease by reason of the use of such blanket policy of
insurance, and provided further that the requirements of this Article XIII are
otherwise satisfied.                                          ------------

     13.8  Separate  Insurance.  Neither  Lessor  nor  Lessee  shall  on its own
           -------------------
initiative or pursuant to the request or requirement of any third party, take
out separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss
with that required in this Article to be furnished, or increase the amount of
any then existing insurance by securing an additional policy or additional
policies, unless all parties having an insurable interest in the subject matter
of the insurance, including in all cases Lessor, are included therein as
additional insureds, and the loss is payable under such additional separate
insurance in the same manner as losses are payable under this Lease. Each party
shall immediately notify the other party that it has obtained any such separate
insurance  or of the  increasing  of any of the  amounts  of the  then  existing
insurance.

     13.9 Reports On Insurance  Claims.  Lessee shall promptly  investigate  and
          ----------------------------
make a complete and timely written report to the appropriate insurance company
as to all accidents, all claims for damage relating to the ownership, operation,
and maintenance of the Facility, and any damage or destruction to the Facility
and the estimated cost of repair thereof and shall prepare any and all reports
required by any insurance company in connection therewith. All such reports
shall be timely filed with the insurance company as required under the terms of
the insurance policy involved, and a copy of all such reports shall be furnished
to Lessor.

                                   ARTICLE XIV
                                   -----------

                            DAMAGE AND RECONSTRUCTION
                            -------------------------

     14.1  Insurance  Proceeds.  All proceeds of the insurance  contemplated  by
           -------------------
Sections 13.1(a)(i) and (ii) payable by reason of any loss or damage to the
Leased Property, or any portion thereof, and insured under any policy of
insurance required by Article XIII of this Lease shall be paid to Lessor and
                      ------------
made available, if applicable, for reconstruction or repair, as the case may be,
of any damage to or destruction of the Leased Property or any portion thereof,
and, if applicable, shall be paid out by Lessor from time to time for the
reasonable costs of such reconstruction or repair upon satisfaction of
reasonable terms and conditions specified by Lessor. Any excess proceeds of
insurance remaining after the completion of the restoration or reconstruction of
the Leased Property shall be paid to Lessor. If neither Lessor nor Lessee is
required or elects to repair and restore, and the Lease is terminated as
described in Section 14.2, all such insurance proceeds shall be retained by
             ------------
Lessor except for any amount thereof paid with respect to Lessee's Personal
Property. All salvage resulting from any risk covered by insurance shall belong
to Lessor, except to the extent of salvage relating to Lessee's Personal
Property.

     14.2  Reconstruction  in the  Event of  Damage or  Destruction  Covered  by
Insurance. ---------------------------------------------------------------------
- ---------
          (a) If during the Term the  Leased  Property  is totally or  partially
destroyed and the Facility thereby is rendered Unsuitable or Uneconomic for its
Primary Intended Use, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of the casualty
and neither Lessor nor Lessee shall have any further liability hereunder except
for any liabilities which have arisen prior to or which survive such
termination, and Lessor shall be entitled to retain all insurance proceeds
except for any amount thereof paid with respect to Lessee's Personal Property.

          (b) If during the Term the Leased Property is partially destroyed by a
risk covered by the insurance described in Article XIII, but the Facility is not
                                           ------------
thereby rendered Unsuitable or Uneconomic for its Primary Intended Use, Lessor
shall with all reasonable dispatch, following payment of the insurance proceeds,
restore the Leased Property to substantially the same condition as existed
immediately before the damage or destruction and otherwise in accordance with
the terms of the Lease, and this Lease shall not terminate as a result of such
damage or destruction. Lessee shall replace and restore any of Lessee's Personal
Property to the same condition as existed immediately before the damage or
destruction and otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Lease.

          (c) If the Leased  Property is to be restored in  accordance  with the
provisions of Section 14.2(b), and if the cost of the repair or restoration
              ---------------
exceeds the amount of proceeds received by Lessor from the insurance required
under Article XIII, Lessor shall agree to contribute any excess amounts needed
      ------------
to restore the Leased Property.

     14.3  Reconstruction  in the Event of Damage or Destruction  Not Covered by
           ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Insurance or When Insurance Proceeds are Not Available.
- ------------------------------------------------------
          (a) If during the Term the Leased  Property is  materially  damaged or
destroyed by a risk not covered by the insurance described in Article XIII, or
                                                              ------------
if the Holder or any ground lessor(s) will not make the proceeds of such
insurance available to Lessor for restoration of the

                                       46
<PAGE>
 


Facility, unless in either event such damage or destruction renders the Facility
Unsuitable or Uneconomic for its Primary Intended Use, Lessor at its option
shall within a reasonable time after the casualty either (i) at Lessor's sole
cost and expense, restore the Leased Property to substantially the same
condition it was in immediately before such damage or destruction and this Lease
shall not terminate as a result of such damage or destruction, or (ii) terminate
this Lease.

          (b) In the event (but only in the event) a Holder or any ground lessor
does not make the proceeds of insurance available to Lessor for restoration of
the Facility following a casualty which does not render the Facility Uneconomic
or Unsuitable for its Primary Intended Use and therefore this Lease is
terminated by Lessor, then Lessee shall have a one time Right of First Refusal
(herein so called) to lease from Lessor any hotel upon the Leased Property which
Lessor constructs within eighteen (18) months following termination of this
Lease. Lessor shall provide Notice to Lessee of any bona-fide third party offers
("Offer") to lease such hotel which Lessor wishes to accept. Lessee shall then
  -----
have the one time right to elect to lease such hotel upon the same terms and
conditions as are set forth in the Offer by delivering its written notice of
such election to Lessor within ten (10) business days after receipt of Lessor's
notice. If Lessee timely notifies Lessor that Lessee elects to exercise its
Right of First Refusal, Lessor and Lessee shall enter into a lease within ten
(10) business days after Lessee's election to exercise its Right of First
Refusal upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease with such
modifications as are necessary to reflect the terms and conditions of the Offer.
If Lessee fails to timely execute and deliver the lease to Lessor, or fails to
timely exercise the Right of First Refusal, Lessor shall be free to lease such
hotel to such prospective lessee or, to any other prospective lessee, on
substantially the same material terms and conditions as are contained in the
Offer (subject to the penultimate sentence of this Section 14.3(b)) within a
period of 180 days. If the prospective lessee offering to lease such hotel does
not execute a lease upon substantially the same terms and conditions as are set
forth in the bona fide offer and Lessor does not lease such hotel to another
prospective lessee upon substantially the same terms and conditions as are set
forth in the bona fide offer (subject to the penultimate sentence of this
Section 14.3(b)) within such 180 day period, Lessee's rights pursuant to this
Right of First Refusal shall be revived. If the prospective lessee offering to
lease such hotel executes a lease upon substantially the same terms and
conditions as are set forth in the bona fide offer (subject to the penultimate
sentence of this Section 14.3(b)) or if Lessor leases such hotel to another
prospective lessee upon substantially the same terms and conditions as are set
forth in the bona fide offer within such 180 day period, Lessee's rights under
the Right of First Refusal shall automatically terminate. A "bona fide
third-party offer" shall mean either a binding or non-binding letter of intent
or written proposal containing provisions upon which Lessor and the prospective
lessee are willing to enter into a lease. Lessee agrees that Lessor and the
lessee proposing to lease such hotel shall not be precluded from making changes
to the Offer during lease negotiations so long as such changes are the result of
arm's-length negotiations between Lessor and such prospective lessee and not the
result of bad faith and collusion insofar as Lessee's interests are concerned
and such changes do not make the proposed lease substantially more favorable to
such lessee then the terms set forth in the Offer. If Lessee exercises its Right
of First Refusal, Lessee may not thereafter revoke such exercise.

          (c) If the  cost  of  such  uninsured  damage  or  destruction  is not
material, Lessor shall, at Lessor's sole cost and expense, restore the Leased
Property to substantially the same condition as existed immediately before the
damage or destruction and otherwise in accordance

                                       47
<PAGE>
 


with the terms of the Lease,  and this Lease shall not  terminate as a result of
such damage or destruction. For purposes of this Section, "material" and similar
references shall mean, in Lessor's reasonable judgment, damage costing in excess
of $200,000 to repair or restore.

     14.4 Lessee's Property and Business Interruption  Insurance.  All insurance
          ------------------------------------------------------
proceeds payable by reason of any loss of or damage to any of Lessee's Personal
Property and the business interruption insurance maintained for the benefit of
Lessee shall be paid to Lessee. Lessee shall replace and restore any of Lessee's
Personal Property to the same condition as existed immediately before the damage
or destruction and otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Lease.

     14.5  Abatement  of  Rent.  Any  damage  or  destruction  due  to  casualty
           -------------------
notwithstanding, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect and Lessee's
obligation to pay Rent required by this Lease shall remain unabated by any
damage or destruction which does not result in a reduction of Gross Revenues. If
any damage or destruction results in a reduction of Gross Revenues which would
otherwise be realizable from the operation of the Facility, then Lessor shall
receive all loss of income insurance and Lessee shall have no obligation to pay
Rent in excess of the amount of Percentage Rent, if any, realizable from Gross
Revenues generated by the operation of the Leased Property during the existence
of such damage or destruction; provided, however, that if such damage or
destruction was caused by Lessee's gross negligence or willful misconduct, and
is not covered by Lessor's loss of income insurance required to be maintained by
Lessor pursuant to Article XIII above, Lessee shall remain liable for the amount
                   ------------
of Rent which would have been payable hereunder at a rate equal to the average
Rent during the last three preceding 12-month Lease Years (or if three 12-month
Lease Years shall not have elapsed, the average during the preceding 12-month
Lease Years or if one Lease Year has not elapsed, the amount derived by
annualizing the Percentage Rent from the Commencement Date of this Lease) as if
such damage or destruction had not occurred.

                                  ARTICLE XV

                                  CONDEMNATION

     15.1 Definitions.
          -----------
          (a)  "Condemnation"  means a Taking resulting from (1) the exercise of
                ------------
any governmental power, whether by legal proceedings or otherwise, by a
Condemnor, and (2) a voluntary sale or transfer by Lessor to any Condemnor,
either under threat of condemnation or while legal proceedings for condemnation

     15.2  Parties'  Rights  and  Obligations.  If during  the Term there is any
           ----------------------------------
Condemnation of all or any part of the Leased Property or any interest in this
Lease, the rights and obligations of Lessor and Lessee shall be determined by
this Article XV.
     ----------
     15.3 Total Taking.  If title to the fee of the whole of the Leased Property
          ------------
is condemned by any Condemnor, this Lease shall cease and terminate as of the
Date of Taking by the Condemnor. If title to the fee of less than the whole of
the Leased Property is so taken or condemned, which nevertheless renders the
Leased Property Unsuitable or Uneconomic for its Primary Intended Use, then
either Lessee or Lessor shall have the option, by notice to the other, at any
time prior to the Date of Taking, to terminate this Lease as of the Date of
Taking. Upon such date, if such Notice has been given, this Lease shall
thereupon cease and terminate. All Initial Base Rent, Fixed Base Rent,
Percentage Rent and Additional Charges paid or payable by Lessee hereunder shall
be apportioned as of the Date of Taking, and Lessee shall promptly pay Lessor
such amounts.

     15.4  Allocation of Award.  The total Award made with respect to the Leased
           -------------------
Property or for loss of rent, or for Lessor's loss of business beyond the Term,
shall be solely the property of and payable to Lessor. Any Award made for loss
of Lessee's business during the remaining Term, if any, for the taking of
Lessee's Personal Property, or for removal and relocation expenses of Lessee in
any such proceedings shall be the sole property of and payable to Lessee. In any
Condemnation proceedings Lessor and Lessee shall each seek its Award in
conformity herewith, at its respective expense; provided, however, neither
Lessor nor Lessee shall initiate, prosecute or acquiesce in any proceedings that
may result in a diminution of any Award payable to the other.

     15.5 Partial Taking.
          --------------
          (a) If  title  to less  than  the  whole  of the  Leased  Property  is
condemned, and the Leased Property is not Unsuitable or Uneconomic for its
Primary Intended Use, or if Lessor and Lessee are entitled but elect not to
terminate this Lease as provided in Section 15.3, then Lessor shall, with all
                                    ------------
reasonable dispatch and to the extent that the Holder permits the application of
the Award therefor and the Award to be contributed to restoration as provided in
this Section 15.5(a) is sufficient therefor, restore the untaken portion of any
     ---------------
Leased Improvements so that such Leased Improvements constitute a complete
architectural unit of the same general character and condition (as nearly as may
be possible under the circumstances) as the Leased Improvements existing
immediately prior to the Condemnation. Lessor and Lessee shall each contribute
to the cost of restoration that part of its Award specifically allocated to such
restoration, if any, together with severance and other damages awarded for the
taken Leased Improvements; provided, however, that the amount of such
contribution shall not exceed such cost.

          (b) In the event of a partial  Taking as described in Section  15.5(a)
                                                                ----------------
which does not result in a termination of this Lease by Lessor, the Initial Base
Rent or Fixed Base Rent, as applicable, shall be abated in the manner and to the
extent that is fair, just and equitable to both Lessee and Lessor, taking into
consideration, among other relevant factors, the number of usable rooms, the
amount of square footage, or the revenues affected by such partial Taking. If
Lessor and Lessee are unable to agree upon the amount of such abatement within
thirty (30) days after

                                       49
<PAGE>
 


such partial  Taking,  the matter shall be submitted to  Arbitration as provided
for in Section 40.2 hereof.
       ------------
     15.6 Temporary  Taking.  If the whole or any part of the Leased Property or
          -----------------
of Lessee's interest under this Lease is condemned by any Condemnor for its
temporary use or occupancy, this Lease shall not terminate by reason thereof,
and Lessee shall continue to pay, in the manner and at the times herein
specified, the full amounts of Initial Base Rent or Fixed Base Rent, as
applicable, and Additional Charges, but only to the extent of the Award made to
Lessee for such Condemnation allocable to the Term. In addition to the remaining
balance, if any, of the Award made for such Condemnation for temporary use or
occupancy allocable to the Term (after payment of Initial Base Rent or Fixed
Base Rent, as applicable, and Additional Charges), shall be deemed to be Room
Revenues based upon the Break Points in effect at the time of such temporary
taking without any further adjustment of such Break Points pursuant to Section
                                                                       -------
3.1(e) for such temporary period for the purpose of calculating the Percentage
- ------
Rent payable hereunder during such temporary taking. Except only to the extent
that Lessee may be prevented from so doing pursuant to the terms of the order of
the Condemnor, Lessee shall continue to perform and observe all of the other
terms, covenants, conditions and obligations hereof on the part of the Lessee to
be performed and observed, as though such Condemnation had not occurred. In the
event of any Condemnation as in this Section 15.6 described, the entire amount
                                     ------------
of any Award made for such Condemnation allocable to the Term of this Lease,
whether paid by way of damages, rent or otherwise, shall be paid (a) directly to
Lessee if the Award is payable by the Condemnor on a monthly basis, or (b) if
payable by the Condemnor less frequently than on a monthly basis, the Award
shall be paid to an institutional trustee designated by Lessor or to an
institutional Holder of a Mortgage and made available to Lessee on terms
reasonably satisfactory to Lessor or such Holder for application pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 15.6. Lessee covenants that upon the termination of
                   ------------
any such period of temporary use or occupancy it will, to the extent that its
Award and Lessor's contribution as set forth below are sufficient therefor,
restore the Leased Property as nearly as may be reasonably possible to the
condition in which the same was immediately prior to such Condemnation, unless
such period of temporary use or occupancy extends beyond the expiration of the
Term, in which case Lessee shall not be required to make such restoration. If
restoration is required hereunder, Lessor shall contribute to the cost of such
restoration that portion of its entire Award that is specifically allocated to
such restoration in the judgment or order of the court or the Condemnor, if any.

                                   ARTICLE XVI

     16.1  Events of  Default.  Any one or more of the  following  events  shall
           ------------------
constitute an Event of Default (herein so called) hereunder:

          (a) if Lessee  fails to make any payment of Initial  Base Rent,  Fixed
Base Rent or Percentage Rent within ten (10) days after receipt by the Lessee of
Notice from Lessor that the same has become due and payable, provided that
Lessor shall not be required to give any such Notice more than twice in any
Lease Year and that any third or subsequent failure by Lessee during such Lease
Year to make any payment of Initial Base Rent, Fixed Base Rent or Percentage
Rent on the date the same becomes due and payable shall constitute an immediate
Event of Default; or

                                       50
<PAGE>
 



          (b) if Lessee fails to make any payment of Additional  Charges  within
ten (10) days after  receipt by Lessee of Notice  from  Lessor that the same has
become due and payable; or

          (c) if Lessee fails to observe or perform any other term,  covenant or
condition of this Lease and such failure is not curable, or if curable is not
cured by Lessee within a period of thirty (30) days after receipt by the Lessee
of Notice thereof from Lessor, unless such failure is curable but cannot with
due diligence be cured within a period of thirty (30) days, in which case it
shall not be deemed an Event of Default if (i) Lessee, within such thirty (30)
day period, proceeds with due diligence to cure the failure and thereafter
diligently completes the curing thereof within 180 days of Lessor's Notice to
Lessee, which 180-day period shall cease to run during any period that a cure of
such failure is prevented by an Unavoidable Delay and shall resume running upon
the cessation of such Unavoidable Delay, and (ii) the failure does not result in
a notice or declaration of default under any material contract or agreement to
which Lessor, the Company, or any Affiliate of either of them is a party or by
which any of their assets are bound; or

          (d) if Lessee or any Manager which is an Affiliate of Lessee shall (i)
be generally not paying its debts as they become due, (ii) file, or consent by
answer or otherwise to the filing against it of, a petition for relief or
reorganization or arrangement or any other petition in bankruptcy, for
liquidation or to take advantage of any bankruptcy or insolvency law of any
jurisdiction, (iii) make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, (iv)
consent to the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee or other officer
with similar powers with respect to it or with respect to any substantial part
of its assets, (v) be adjudicated insolvent, or (vi) take corporate action for
the purpose of any of the foregoing; or if a court or governmental authority of
competent jurisdiction shall enter an order appointing, without consent by
Lessee, a custodian, receiver, trustee or other officer with similar powers with
respect to it or with respect to any substantial part of its assets, or if an
order for relief shall be entered in any case or proceeding for liquidation or
reorganization or otherwise to take advantage of any bankruptcy or insolvency
law of any jurisdiction, or ordering the dissolution, winding-up or liquidation
of Lessee, or if any petition for any such relief shall be filed against Lessee
and such petition shall not be dismissed within sixty (60) days; or

          (e) if Lessee or, without Lessor's prior written consent,  any Manager
which is an Affiliate of Lessee is liquidated or dissolved, or begins
proceedings toward such liquidation or dissolution, or, in any manner, ceases to
do business or permits the sale or divestiture of substantially all of its
assets; or

          (f) if the estate or interest of Lessee in the Leased  Property or any
part thereof is voluntarily or involuntarily transferred, assigned, conveyed,
levied upon or attached in any Proceeding; or

          (g) if,  except as a result of and to the extent  required  by damage,
destruction,  Condemnation or Unavoidable Delay, Lessee ceases operations on the
Leased Property; or

          (h) if notice of a default  or an event of  default  has been given by
the franchisor under the Franchise Agreement or any ground lessor(s) with
respect to the Facility on the Leased Property as a result of any action or
failure to act by the Lessee or any Person with whom the

                                       51
<PAGE>
 


Lessee contracts for management services at the Facility, which default or event
of default is not cured within  applicable  cure periods and does not arise from
Lessor's breach of any of its obligations under this Lease which are required to
maintain the Franchise Agreement or any ground lease in effect;

          (i) if an Event of Default occurs under any Other Leases; or

          (j) if Lessee  fails to remedy a breach of Section  35.1  and/or  35.2
                                                     ---------------------------
within ten (10) days after an executive  officer of Lessee obtains  knowledge of
such a breach; or

          (k) if there is a breach of any of the  provisions  of Sections  35.3,
35.4 or 35.5.                                                    ---------------
- ------------
          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 16.1(c),
                                                                ---------------
the cure periods set forth in Section 16.1(c) shall not apply to any knowing and
                              ---------------
intentional failure by an executive officer of Lessee to observe or perform any
term, covenant or condition of this Lease.

          If litigation is commenced  with respect to any alleged  default under
this Lease, the prevailing party in such litigation shall receive, in addition
to its damages incurred, such sum as the court shall determine as its reasonable
attorneys' fees, and all costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith.

     16.2  Remedies.  Upon the  occurrence of an Event of Default,  Lessor shall
           --------
have the right, at Lessor's option, to elect to do any one or more of the
following without further notice or demand to Lessee: (a) terminate this Lease,
in which event Lessee shall immediately surrender the Leased Property to Lessor,
and, if Lessee fails to so surrender, Lessor shall have the right, without
notice, to enter upon and take possession of the Leased Property and to expel or
remove Lessee and its effects without being liable for prosecution or any claim
for damages therefor; and Lessee shall, and hereby agrees to, indemnify Lessor
for all loss and damage which Lessor suffers by reason of such termination,
including without limitation, damages in an amount equal to the total of (1) the
reasonable costs of recovering the Leased Property in the event that Lessee does
not promptly surrender the Leased Property, and all other reasonable expenses
incurred by Lessor in connection with Lessee's default; (2) the unpaid Rent
earned as of the date of termination, plus interest at the Overdue Rate accruing
after the due date until such sums are paid by Lessee to Lessor; (3) the total
Rent (including Percentage Rent as determined below) which Lessor would have
received under this Lease for the remainder of the Term, but discounted to the
then present value at a rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum, less the fair
market rental value of the balance of the Term as of the time of such default
discounted to the then present value at a rate of twelve percent (12%) per
annum; and (4) all other sums of money and damages owing by Lessee to Lessor; or
(b) enter upon and take possession of the Leased Property without terminating
this Lease and without being liable for prosecution or any claim for damages
therefor, and, if Lessor elects, relet the Leased Property on such terms as
Lessor deems advisable, in which event Lessee shall pay to Lessor on demand the
reasonable costs of repossessing and reletting the Leased Property and any
deficiency between the Rent payable hereunder (including Percentage Rent as
determined below) and the rent paid under such reletting; provided, however,
that Lessee shall not be entitled to any excess payments received by Lessor from
such reletting and Lessor's failure to relet the Leased Property shall not
release or affect Lessee's liability for Rent or for damages; or (c) enter the
Leased Property without terminating this Lease and without being liable for
prosecution or any claim for damages

                                       52
<PAGE>
 


therefor  and  maintain  the Leased  Property  and repair or replace  any damage
thereto or do anything for which Lessee is responsible hereunder. Lessee shall
reimburse Lessor immediately upon demand for any expense which Lessor incurs in
thus effecting Lessee's compliance under this Lease, and Lessor shall not be
liable to Lessee for any damages with respect thereto. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, Lessee shall not be liable to Lessor for consequential,
punitive or exemplary damages.

     The rights  granted to Lessor in this Section 16.2 shall be  cumulative  of
                                           ------------
every other right or remedy provided in this Lease or which Lessor may otherwise
have at law or in equity or by statute, and the exercise of one or more rights
or remedies shall not prejudice or impair the concurrent or subsequent exercise
of other rights or remedies or constitute a forfeiture or waiver of Rent or
damages accruing to Lessor by reason of any Event of Default under this Lease.

     Percentage  Rent for the purposes of this Section 16.2 shall be a sum equal
                                               ------------
to (i) the average of the annual amounts of the Percentage Rent for the three
12-month Lease Years immediately preceding the Lease Year in which the
termination, re-entry or repossession takes place, or (ii) if three 12-month
Lease Years shall not have elapsed, the average of the Percentage Rent during
the preceding 12-month Lease Years during which the Lease was in effect, or
(iii) if one Lease Year has not elapsed, the amount derived by annualizing the
Percentage Rent from the effective date of this Lease.

     16.3 Waiver.  Each party waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
          ------
any right to a trial by jury in any proceedings brought by either party to
enforce the provisions of this Lease, including, without limitation, proceedings
to enforce the remedies set forth in this Article XVI, and Lessee waives the
                                          -----------
benefit of any laws now or hereafter in force exempting property from liability
for rent or for debt.

     16.4 Application of Funds. Any payments received by Lessor under any of the
          --------------------
provisions of this Lease during the existence or continuance of any Event of
Default shall be applied to Lessee's obligations in the order that Lessor may
determine or as may be prescribed by the laws of the State.

                             LESSOR'S RIGHT TO CURE

     17.1 Lessor's Right to Cure Lessee's  Default.  If Lessee fails to make any
          ----------------------------------------
payment or to perform any act required to be made or performed under this Lease
including, without limitation, Lessee's failure to comply with the terms of any
Franchise Agreement or any ground lease, and fails to cure the same within the
relevant time periods, if any, provided in Section 16.1 or elsewhere in this
                                           ------------
Lease, Lessor, without waiving or releasing any obligation of Lessee, and
without waiving or releasing any obligation or default, may (but shall be under
no obligation to) at any time thereafter upon Notice to Lessee make such payment
or perform such act for the account and at the expense of Lessee, and may, to
the extent permitted by law, enter upon the Leased Property for such purpose
and, subject to Section 16.2, take all such action thereon as, in Lessor's
                ------------
reasonable opinion, may be necessary or appropriate therefor. No such entry
shall be deemed an eviction of Lessee. All sums so paid by Lessor and all costs
and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses, in each case to the extent

                                       53
<PAGE>
 


permitted  by law) so  incurred,  together  with a late  charge  thereon (to the
extent permitted by law) at the Overdue Rate from the date on which such sums or
expenses are paid or incurred by Lessor until such sums or expenses are paid by
Lessee to Lessor, shall constitute Additional Charges and shall be paid by
Lessee to Lessor on demand. The obligations of Lessee and rights of Lessor
contained in this Article shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease.

                               REIT LIMITATIONS

     18.1 Personal Property Limitation.  Anything contained in this Lease to the
          ----------------------------
contrary notwithstanding, the average of the adjusted tax bases of the items of
Lessor's personal property that are leased to the Lessee under this Lease at the
beginning and at the end of any Lease Year shall not exceed 15% of the average
of the aggregate adjusted tax bases of the Leased Property at the beginning and
at the end of such Lease Year (the "Personal Property Limitation"). Lessor and
                                    ----------------------------
Lessee shall at all times cooperate in good faith and use their best efforts to
permit Lessor to comply with the Personal Property Limitation, which compliance
may include, by way of example only and not by way of limitation or obligation,
the purchase by Lessee at fair market value of personal property in excess of
the Personal Property Limitation. All such compliance shall be effected in a
manner which has no material net economic detriment to Lessee and will not
jeopardize the Company's status as a real estate investment trust under the
applicable provisions of the Code. This Section 18.1 is intended to ensure that
                                        ------------
the Rent qualifies as "rents from real property," within the meaning of Section
856(d) of the Code, or any similar or successor provisions thereto, and shall be
interpreted in a manner consistent with such intent.

     18.2  Sublease  Rent  Limitation.  Anything  contained in this Lease to the
           --------------------------
contrary notwithstanding, Lessee shall not sublet the Leased Property or enter
into any licenses or concessions or into any similar arrangement on any basis
such that the rental or other amounts to be paid by the sublessee thereunder
would be based, in whole or in part, on either (a) the net income or profits
derived by the business activities of the sublessee, licensee or concessionaire,
or (b) any other formula such that any portion of the Rent would fail to qualify
as "rents from real property" within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Code,
or any similar or successor provision thereto.

     18.3 Sublease Lessee  Limitation.  Anything  contained in this Lease to the
          ---------------------------
contrary notwithstanding, Lessee shall not sublease the Leased Property to, or
enter into any similar arrangement with, any Person in which the Company owns,
directly or indirectly, a 10% or more interest, within the meaning of Section
856(d)(2)(B) of the Code, or any Person in which Lessor owns, directly or
indirectly, a ten percent (10%) or more interest within the meaning of the same
Section as modified by Section 7704(d)(3)(B) of the Code, or any similar or
successor provisions thereto.

     18.4 Lessee Ownership  Limitation.  Anything contained in this Lease to the
          ----------------------------
contrary notwithstanding, Lessor shall not take, or permit an Affiliate of
Lessor to take, any action that would cause the Company to own, directly or
indirectly, a 10% or more interest in the Lessee within the meaning of Section
856(d)(2)(B) of the Code, or that would cause Lessor to own,

                                       54
<PAGE>
 


directly or indirectly, a 10% or more interest in Lessee within the same meaning
of the same Section as modified by Section 7704(d)(3)(B) of the Code, or any
similar or successor provision thereto. Anything contained in this Lease to the
contrary notwithstanding, Lessee shall not take, or permit an Affiliate of
Lessee to take, any action that would cause the Company to own, directly or
indirectly, a 10% or more interest in the Lessee within the meaning of Section
856(d)(2)(B) of the Code, or any similar or successor provisions thereto.
Further, Lessee shall not take, or permit an Affiliate of Lessee to take, any
action that would cause Lessee to bear a direct or indirect relationship to the
former owner of the Leased Property within the meaning of Section
514(c)(9)(B)(iii) of the Code, or that would cause Lessee to bear a direct or
indirect relationship to the Central States, Southeast and Southwest Areas
Pension Fund within the meaning of Section 514(c)(9)(B)(iv) of the Code.

     18.5 Director, Officer and Employee Limitation.  Anything contained in this
          -----------------------------------------
Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Lessor and Lessee shall cooperate to
ensure that (i) no directors, officers or employees of Lessor or the Company
shall be directors, officers or employees of, or own any ownership interest in,
Lessee or any Affiliate thereof (or any Person who furnishes or renders services
to the tenants of the Leased Property, or manages or operates the Leased
Property), and (ii) no directors, officers or employees of Lessee or any
Affiliate thereof (or of any Person who furnishes or renders services to the
tenants of the Leased Property, or manages or operates the Leased Property)
shall be directors, officers or employees of Lessor or the Company.

     18.6 Schedule of  Stockholders.  Upon the Commencement  Date,  Lessee shall
          -------------------------
provide to Lessor a schedule of all stockholders who own of record or
beneficially ten percent (10%) or more of the outstanding capital stock of
Doubletree Corporation. During the Term, Lessee shall promptly provide Lessor
with Notice of any changes in the foregoing schedule. Lessee represents and
warrants that as of the Commencement Date, it is not directly or indirectly
related to the former owner of the Leased Property within the meaning of Section
(514)(c)(9)(B)(iii) of the Code, or directly or indirectly related to the
Central States, Southeast and Southwest Areas Pension Fund within the meaning of
Section 514(c)(9)(B)(iv) of the Code. Lessee shall from time to time provide
such information as Lessor may reasonably request to verify Lessee's compliance
with Section 18.4 and this Section 18.6.

                                  HOLDING OVER

     19.1 Holding  Over.  If Lessee for any reason  remains in possession of the
          -------------
Leased Property after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, such
possession shall be as a tenant at sufferance during which time Lessee shall pay
as rental each month two times the aggregate of (a) one-twelfth of the aggregate
Initial Base Rent, or Fixed Base Rent, as applicable, and Percentage Rent
payable with respect to the last Lease Year of the Term, (b) all Additional
Charges accruing during the applicable month and (c) all other sums, if any,
payable by Lessee under this Lease with respect to the Leased Property. During
such period, Lessee shall be obligated to perform and observe all of the terms,
covenants and conditions of this Lease, but shall have no rights hereunder other
than the right, to the extent given by law to tenancies at sufferance, to

contained herein shall constitute the consent,  express or implied, of Lessor to
the holding over of Lessee after the  expiration or earlier  termination of this
Lease.

                                   ARTICLE XX

                                   INDEMNITIES

     20.1 Indemnification.
          ---------------
          (a) LESSEE WILL  PROTECT,  INDEMNIFY,  HOLD HARMLESS AND DEFEND LESSOR
INDEMNIFIED PARTIES FROM AND AGAINST ALL LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, CLAIMS,
DAMAGES, PENALTIES, CAUSES OF ACTION, COSTS AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, REASONABLE ATTORNEYS' FEES AND EXPENSES), TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
LAW, INCLUDING THOSE RESULTING FROM A LESSOR INDEMNIFIED PARTY'S OWN NEGLIGENCE
(but excluding those resulting from the negligence of Lessor or its agents,
employees, contractors or invitees when actually performing alterations or other
Capital Improvements which are not obligations of Lessee and are not performed
or supervised by Lessee on behalf of Lessor, and excluding those resulting from
a Lessor Indemnified Party's gross negligence or willful misconduct) imposed
upon or incurred by or asserted against Lessor Indemnified Parties by reason of:
(a) any accident, injury to or death of persons or loss of or damage to property
occurring on or about the Leased Property or adjoining sidewalks, during the
Term or while the Leased Property is in the possession or control of Lessee
including without limitation any claims under liquor liability, "dram shop" or
similar laws, (b) any use, misuse, non-use, condition, management, operation,
maintenance or repair by Lessee or any of its agents, employees, contractors or
invitees of the Leased Property or Lessee's Personal Property, or any
litigation, proceeding or claim by governmental entities or other third parties
to which a Lessor Indemnified Party is made a party or participant related to
such use, misuse, non-use, condition, management, operation, maintenance, or
repair thereof by Lessee or any of its agents, employees, contractors or
invitees, including any failure of Lessee or any of its agents, employees,
contractors or invitees to perform any obligations under this Lease or imposed
by applicable law (other than arising out of Condemnation proceedings), (c) any
Impositions that are the obligations of Lessee pursuant to the applicable
provisions of this Lease, (d) any failure on the part of Lessee to perform or
comply with any of the terms of this Lease, and (e) the nonperformance by Lessee
or any of its agents, employees or contractors of any of the terms and
provisions of any and all existing and future subleases of the Leased Property
to be performed by the landlord thereunder.

          (b)  Lessor  shall   indemnify,   save   harmless  and  defend  Lessee
Indemnified Parties from and against all liabilities, obligations, claims,
damages, penalties, causes of action, costs and expenses imposed upon or
incurred by or asserted against Lessee Indemnified Parties as a result of (a)
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor arising in connection with
this Lease or (b) any failure on the part of Lessor to perform or comply with
any of the terms of this Lease.

          (c) Any amounts  that become  payable by an  Indemnifying  Party under
this Section shall be paid within ten (10) days after liability therefor on the
part of the Indemnifying Party is determined by litigation or otherwise, and if
not timely paid, shall bear a late charge

                                       56

(to the  extent  permitted  by law) at the  Overdue  Rate  from the date of such
determination to the date of payment. Any such amounts shall be reduced by
insurance proceeds received and any other recovery (net of costs) obtained by
the Indemnified Party. An Indemnifying Party, upon request, shall at its sole
expense resist and defend any Proceeding, claim or action, or cause the same to
be resisted and defended by counsel designated by the Indemnifying Party and
approved by the Indemnified Party, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld; provided, however, that such approval shall not be required in the
case of defense by counsel designated by any insurance company undertaking such
defense pursuant to any applicable policy of insurance. Each Indemnified Party
shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding, claim or
action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of
such counsel will be at the sole expense of such Indemnified Party unless a
conflict of interest prevents representation of such Indemnified Party by the
counsel selected by the Indemnified Party and such separate counsel has been
approved by the Indemnifying Party, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any
such Proceeding, claim or action made without its consent, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld, but if settled with the consent of the
Indemnifying Party, or if settled without its consent (if its consent shall be
unreasonably withheld), or if there be a final, non-appealable judgment for an
adversary party in any such Proceeding, claim or action, the Indemnifying Party
shall indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Party from and against any
liabilities incurred by such Indemnified Party by reason of such settlement or
judgement. Nothing herein shall be construed as indemnifying an Indemnified
Party against its own grossly negligent acts or omissions or willful misconduct.

          (d) Lessee's or Lessor's  liability for a breach of the  provisions of
this Article shall survive any termination of this Lease.

                                   ARTICLE XXI

                            SUBLETTING AND ASSIGNMENT

     21.1 Subletting and Assignment.
          -------------------------
          (a) In addition, to the provisions of Article XVIII and Sections 21.2,
                                                -------------     --------------
21.3 and any other express consents, conditions, limitations or other provisions
- ----
set forth herein, Lessee agrees that it shall not assign this Lease (except in
connection with a transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of
Doubletree Hotels Corporation, in which event Section 35.4 shall be applicable)
                                              ------------
or hereafter sublease all or any part of the Leased Property without first
obtaining the written consent of Lessor. In the case of a permitted subletting,
the sublessee shall comply with the provisions of Sections 18.2, 18.3, 18.4,
                                                  --------------------------
18.5, 18.6, 21.2 and 21.3, and in the case of a permitted assignment, the
- -------------------------
assignee shall assume in writing and agree to keep and perform all of the terms
of this Lease on the part of Lessee to be kept and performed and shall be, and
become, jointly and severally liable with Lessee for the performance thereof. In
case of either an assignment or subletting made during the Term, Lessee shall
remain primarily liable, as principal rather than as surety, for the prompt
payment of the Rent and for the performance and observance of all of the
covenants and conditions to be performed by Lessee hereunder. An original
counterpart of each such sublease and assignment and assumption, duly executed
by Lessee and such sublessee or assignee, as the case may be, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Lessor, shall be delivered promptly to
Lessor.

                                       57
<PAGE>
 



          (b) Lessee  acknowledges  that this Lease is a lease of nonresidential
real property and therefore agrees that Lessee, as the debtor in possession, or
the trustee for Lessee (collectively "the Trustee") in any proceeding under
                                      -----------
Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code relating to Bankruptcy, as amended
(the "Bankruptcy Code"), shall not seek or request any extension of time to
      ---------------
assume or reject this Lease or to perform any obligations of this Lease which
arise from or after the order of relief.

          (c) If the  Trustee  proposes  to assume or to  assign  this  Lease or
sublet the Premises (or any portion thereof) to any person which shall have made
a bona fide offer to accept an assignment of this Lease or a subletting on terms
acceptable to the Trustee, the Trustee shall give Lessor, and lessors and
mortgagees of Lessor of which Lessee has notice, written notice setting forth
the name and address of such person and the terms and conditions of such offer,
no later than twenty (20) days after receipt of such offer, but in any event no
later than ten (10) days prior to the date on which the Trustee makes
application to the Bankruptcy Court for authority and approval to enter into
such assumption and assignment or subletting. Lessor shall have the prior right
and option, to be exercised by written notice to the Trustee given at any time
prior to the effective date of such proposed assignment or subletting, to
receive an assignment of this Lease or subletting of the Premises to Lessor or
Lessor's designee upon the same terms and conditions and for the same
consideration, if any, as the bona fide offer made by such person, less any
brokerage commissions which may be payable out of the consideration to be paid
by such person for the assignment or subletting of this Lease.

          (d) The  Trustee  shall have the right to assume  Lessee's  rights and
obligations under this Lease only if the Trustee: (a) promptly cures or provides
adequate assurance that the Trustee will promptly cure any default under this
Lease; (b) compensates or provides adequate assurance that the Trustee will
promptly compensate Lessor for any actual pecuniary loss incurred by Lessor as a
result of Lessee's default under this Lease; and (c) provides adequate assurance
of future performance under this Lease. Adequate assurance of future performance
by the proposed assignee shall include, as a minimum, that: (i) any proposed
assignee of this Lease shall provide to Lessor an audited financial statement,
dated no later than six (6) months prior to the effective date of such proposed
assignment or sublease with no material change therein as of the effective date,
which financial statement shall show the proposed assignee to have a net worth
equal to at least the Minimum Net Worth, or, in the alternative, the proposed
assignee shall provide a guarantor of such proposed assignee's obligations under
this Lease, which guarantor shall provide an audited financial statement meeting
the requirements of (i) above and shall execute and deliver to Lessor a guaranty
agreement in form and substance acceptable to Lessor; and (ii) any proposed
assignee shall grant to Lessor a security interest in favor of Lessor in all
furniture, fixtures, and other personal property to be used by such proposed
assignee in the Leased Property. All payments required of Lessee under this
Lease, whether or not expressly denominated as such in this Lease, shall
constitute rent for the purposes of Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.

          (e) The parties  agree that for the  purposes of the  Bankruptcy  Code
relating to (a) the obligation of the Trustee to provide adequate assurance that
the Trustee will "promptly" cure defaults and compensate Lessor for actual
pecuniary loss, the word "promptly" shall mean that cure of defaults and
compensation will occur no later than sixty (60) days following the filing of
any motion or application to assume this Lease; and (b) the obligation of the
Trustee to compensate or to provide adequate assurance that the Trustee will
promptly compensate

                                       58
<PAGE>
 


Lessor for "actual pecuniary loss", the term "actual pecuniary loss" shall mean,
                                              ---------------------
in addition to any other provisions contained herein relating to Lessor's
damages upon default obligations of Lessee to pay money under this Lease and all
attorneys' fees and related costs of Lessor incurred in connection with any
default of Lessee in connection with Lessee's bankruptcy proceedings).

          (f) Any person or entity to which this Lease is  assigned  pursuant to
the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code shall be deemed, without further act or
deed, to have assumed all of the obligations arising under this Lease and each
of the conditions and provisions hereof on and after the date of such
assignment. Any such assignee shall, upon the request of Lessor, forthwith
execute and deliver to Lessor an instrument, in form and substance acceptable to
Lessor, confirming such assumption.

     21.2  Attornment.  Lessee  shall insert in each future  sublease  permitted
           ----------
under Section 21.1 provisions to the effect that (a) such sublease is subject
      ------------
and subordinate to all of the terms and provisions of this Lease and to the
rights of Lessor hereunder, (b) if this Lease terminates before the expiration
of such sublease, the sublessee thereunder will, at Lessor's option, attorn to
Lessor and waive any right the sublessee may have to terminate the sublease or
to surrender possession thereunder as a result of the termination of this Lease,
and (c) if the sublessee receives a written Notice from Lessor or Lessor's
assignees, if any, stating that an uncured Event of Default exists under this
Lease, the sublessee shall thereafter be obligated to pay all rentals accruing
under said sublease directly to the party giving such Notice, or as such party
may direct. All rentals received from the sublessee by Lessor or Lessor's
assignees, if any, as the case may be, shall be credited against the amounts
owing by Lessee under this Lease.

     21.3  Management  Agreement.  Lessee shall not enter into any management or
           ---------------------
agency agreement relating to the management or operation of the Facility or any
modifications to such management or agency agreement (collectively, the
"Management Agreement") without Lessor's prior written approval of the terms and
 --------------------
conditions thereof and of the identity of any manager of the Facility (the
"Manager") which is not an Affiliate of Lessee. Lessor hereby acknowledges that
 -------
either Doubletree Hotels Corporation or DT Management, Inc., each an Affiliate
of Lessee, will be the Manager. The Management Agreement shall provide, among
other things, that (i) the management fee shall not exceed three percent (3%) of
Gross Revenues, (ii) upon termination of this Lease or termination of Lessee's
right to possession of the Leased Property for any reason whatsoever, the
Management Agreement may be terminated by Lessor without liability for any
payment due or to become due to the Manager, and (iii) all fees and other
amounts payable by Lessee to the Manager for the period ending twenty-four (24)
full calendar months after the Commencement Date (the "Subordination Period"),
                                                       --------------------
in excess of two percent (2%) of Gross Revenues shall be fully subordinate to
Rent and other amounts payable by Lessee to Lessor hereunder until such time as
Lessor has received for the Subordination Period Initial Base Rent, Fixed Base
Rent, Additional Fixed Rent and/or Percentage Rent (determined on an annualized
basis) in an amount equal to the Minimum Return.

          ---------
performance of any term hereof or to exercise any right, power or remedy
consequent upon a breach thereof, and no acceptance of full or partial payment
of Rent during the continuance of any such breach, shall constitute a waiver of
any such breach or of any such term. To the extent permitted by law, no waiver
of any breach shall affect or alter this Lease, which shall continue in full
force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent breach.

                                   ARTICLE XXV

                              CONVEYANCE BY LESSOR

     28.1  Conveyance  by Lessor.  Lessor shall have the  unrestricted  right to
           ---------------------
mortgage or otherwise convey the Leased Property to a Holder. If Lessor conveys
the Leased Property in accordance with the terms hereof other than to a Holder,
and the grantee or transferee of the Leased Property expressly assumes all
obligations of Lessor hereunder arising or accruing from and after the date of
such conveyance or transfer, Lessor shall thereupon be released from all future
liabilities and obligations of Lessor under this Lease arising or accruing from
and after the date of such conveyance or other transfer as to the Leased
Property and all such future liabilities and obligations shall thereupon be
binding upon the new owner. Lessor shall promptly notify Lessee of any such
conveyance. If Lessee is not reasonably satisfied that the new owner is a
capable, reliable and qualified Person of good reputation and character which
has the financial capability to fulfill Lessor's obligations hereunder, or, if
in Lessee's reasonable judgment, the new owner is a competitor of Lessee, Lessee
may terminate this Lease upon ninety (90) days' Notice to Lessor given within
thirty (30) days after Lessee receives a Notice of such conveyance. A
"competitor of Lessee" shall mean a Person which, or an Affiliate of which,
manages hotels bearing the brand name of such Person or an Affiliate of such
Person (such as Wyndham, Marriott or Hyatt). In the event Lessor conveys the
Leased Property in accordance with this Section 28.1 and Lessee exercises its
                                        ------------
option to terminate in accordance therewith, Lessee shall not be entitled to any
compensation for early termination of this Lease.

     28.2 Lessor May Grant Liens.
          ----------------------
          (a)  Without  the  consent  of  Lessee,  Lessor may from time to time,
directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause to exist any lien, encumbrance
or title retention agreement upon the Leased Property, or any portion thereof or
interest therein, or upon Lessor's interest in this Lease, whether to secure any
borrowing or other means of financing or refinancing or otherwise. Except for an
Excess Mortgage, this Lease and Lessee's interest hereunder shall at all times
be subject and subordinate to the lien and security title of any deeds to secure
debt, deeds of trust, mortgages, or other interests heretofore or hereafter
granted by Lessor or which otherwise encumber or affect the Leased Property and
to any and all advances to be made thereunder and to all renewals,
modifications, consolidations, replacements, substitutions, and extensions
thereof (all of which are herein called the "Mortgage"), provided that the
                                             --------
Mortgage and all security agreements delivered by Lessor in connection therewith
shall be subject to Lessee's rights under this Lease to receive all Gross
Revenues of the Facility prior to the earlier of the occurrence of an Event of
Default or the date that this Lease is terminated by the Holder of the Mortgage
in the exercise of its remedies thereunder. In confirmation of such
subordination, however, Lessee shall, at Lessor's request, promptly execute,
acknowledge and deliver any instruments which may be required to evidence
subordination to any Mortgage and to the Holder thereof and the assignment of
this Lease and Lessor's rights and interests thereunder to such Holder. In the
event of Lessee's failure to deliver such instruments and if the Mortgage and
such instruments do not change adversely and in any material respect any term of
this Lease, Lessor may, in addition to any other remedies for breach of covenant
hereunder, execute, acknowledge, and deliver the instrument as the agent or
attorney-in-fact of Lessee, and Lessee hereby irrevocably constitutes Lessor its
attorney-in-fact for such purpose, Lessee acknowledging that the appointment is
coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

          (b)  Lessee  shall,  upon  the  request  of  Lessor  or any  existing,
potential or future Holder, (i) provide Lessor or such Holder with copies of all
licenses, permits, occupancy agreements, operating agreements, leases,
contracts, inspection reports, studies, appraisals, assessments, default or
other notices and similar materials reasonably requested in connection with any
existing or proposed financing of the Leased Property, and (ii) execute, and/or
cause the Manager to execute, as applicable, such estoppel agreements and
collateral assignments with respect to the Facility's liquor license, the
Management Agreement and any of the other aforementioned agreements as Holder
may reasonably request in connection with any such financing, provided that no
such estoppel agreement or collateral assignment shall in any way affect the
Term or affect adversely in any material respect any rights of Lessee under this
Lease.

          (c) No act or failure to act on the part of Lessor which would entitle
Lessee under the terms of this Lease, or by law, to be relieved of any of
Lessee's obligations hereunder (including, without limitation, its obligation to
pay Rent) or to terminate this Lease, shall result in a release or termination
of such obligations of Lessee or a termination of this Lease unless: (i) Lessee
shall have first given written notice of Lessor's act or failure to act to any
Holder of whom Lessee has been given written notice of such Holder's status as a
Holder, specifying the act or failure to act on the part of Lessor which would
give basis to Lessee's rights; and (ii) the Holder, after receipt of such
notice, shall have failed or refused to correct or cure the condition complained
of within a reasonable time thereafter (in no event less than sixty (60) days),
which shall include a reasonable time for such Holder to obtain possession of
the Leased Property, if possession is reasonably necessary for the Holder to
correct or cure the condition, or to foreclose such Mortgage, and if the Holder
notifies the Lessee of its intention to take possession of the Leased Property
or to foreclosure such Mortgage, and correct or cure such condition. If such
Holder is prohibited by any process or injunction issued by any court or by
reason of any action by any court having jurisdiction or any bankruptcy, debtor
rehabilitation or insolvency proceedings involving Lessor from commencing or
prosecuting foreclosure or other appropriate proceedings in the nature thereof,
provided, however, that this Lease shall continue to be in full force and
effect, the times for commencing or prosecuting such foreclosure or other
proceedings shall be extended for the period of such prohibition. The provisions
of this Section 28.2(c) shall not be construed to limit or affect Lessee's right
        ---------------
to make payments or perform acts for the account and at the expense of Lessor in
accordance with the provisions of Section 39.1(a) or Lessee's right to offset
                                  ---------------
against Rent or other charges due under this Lease in accordance with the
provisions of Section 39.1(a).
              ---------------
          (d) Lessee shall deliver by notice delivered in the manner provided in
Article XXX to any Holder who gives Lessee written notice of its status as a
- -----------
Holder, at such Holder's address stated in the Holder's written notice or at
such other address as the Holder may designate by later written notice to
Lessee, a duplicate copy of any and all notices regarding any default which
Lessee may from time to time give or serve upon Lessor pursuant to the
provisions of this Lease. Copies of such notices given by Lessee to Lessor shall
be delivered to such Holder simultaneously with delivery to Lessor. No such
notice by Lessee to Lessor hereunder shall be deemed to have been given unless
and until a copy thereof has been mailed to such Holder as provided above.

          (e) At any time,  and from  time to time,  upon not less than ten (10)
days' notice by a Holder to Lessee, Lessee shall deliver to such Holder an
estoppel certificate certifying as to the information required in Section
                                                                  -------
22.1(c), and such other information as may
- -------
                                       64
<PAGE>
 


be reasonably  requested by such Holder. Any such certificate may be relied upon
by such Holder.

          (f)  Lessee  shall  cooperate  in  all  reasonable  respects,  and  as
generally described in Section 42.2 of this Lease, with any transfer of the
                       ------------
Leased Property to a Holder that succeeds to the interest of Lessor in the
Leased Property (including, without limitation, in connection with the transfer
of any franchise, license, lease, permit, contract, agreement, or similar item
to such Holder or such Holder's designee necessary or appropriate to operate the
Leased Property). Lessor and Lessee shall cooperate in (i) including in this
Lease by suitable amendment from time to time any provision which may be
requested by any proposed Holder, or may otherwise be reasonably necessary, to
implement the provisions of this Article and (ii) entering into any further
agreement with or at the request of any Holder which may be reasonably requested
or required by such Holder in furtherance or confirmation of the provisions of
this Article; provided, however, that any such amendment or agreement shall not
in any way affect the Term nor affect adversely in any material respect any
rights of Lessor or Lessee under this Lease.

due and complies with all of the terms of this Lease and performs its
obligations hereunder, in each case within the applicable grace and/or cure
periods, if any, Lessee shall peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the
Leased Property for the Term hereof, free of any claim or other action by Lessor
or anyone claiming by, through or under Lessor and not claiming by, through or
under Lessee, but subject to all liens and encumbrances subject to which the
Leased Property was conveyed to Lessor or hereafter consented to by Lessee or
provided for herein. Lessee shall have the right by separate and independent
action to pursue any claim it may have against Lessor as a result of a breach by
Lessor of the covenant of quiet enjoyment contained in this Section.

                                   APPRAISALS

     31.1 Appraisers. If it becomes necessary to determine the fair market value
          ----------
or fair market rental of the Leased Property for any purpose of this Lease,
then, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, the party required
or permitted to give Notice of such required determination shall include in the
Notice the name of a person selected to act as appraiser on its behalf. Within
ten (10) days after Notice, Lessor (or Lessee, as the case may be) shall by
Notice to Lessee (or Lessor, as the case may be) appoint a second person as
appraiser on its behalf. The appraisers thus appointed, each of whom must be a
member of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers (or any successor
organization thereto) with at least five years experience in the State
appraising property similar to the Leased Property, shall, within ten (10) days
after the date of the Notice appointing the second appraiser, proceed to
appraise the Leased Property to determine the fair market value or fair market
rental thereof as of the relevant date (giving effect to the impact, if any, of
inflation from the date of their decision to the relevant date); provided,
however, that if only one appraiser shall have been so appointed, then the
determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon the parties. If
two appraisers are appointed and if the difference between the amounts so
determined does not exceed 5% of the lesser of such amounts, then the fair
market value or fair market rental shall be an amount equal to 50% of the sum of
the amounts so determined. If the difference between the amounts so determined
exceeds 5% of the lesser of such amounts, then such two appraisers shall have
ten (10) days to appoint a third appraiser. If no such appraiser shall have been
appointed within such ten (10) days or within sixty (60) days of the original
request for a determination of fair market value or fair market rental,
whichever is earlier, either Lessor or Lessee may apply to any court having
jurisdiction to have such appointment made by such court. Any appraiser
appointed by the original appraisers or by such court shall be instructed to
determine the fair market value or fair market rental within thirty (30) days
after appointment of such appraiser. The determination of the appraiser which
differs most in the terms of dollar amount from the determinations of the other
two appraisers shall be excluded, and 50% of the sum of the remaining two
determinations shall be final and binding upon Lessor and Lessee as the fair
market value or fair market rental of the Leased Property, as the case may be.
This provision for determining by appraisal shall be specifically enforceable to
the extent such remedy is available under applicable law, and any determination
hereunder shall be final and binding upon the parties except as otherwise
provided by applicable law. Lessor and Lessee shall each pay the fees and
expenses of the appraiser appointed by it and each shall pay one-half of the
fees and expenses of the third appraiser.

of either enter into a short form memorandum of this Lease, in form suitable for
recording under the laws of the State in which reference to this Lease, and all

                       LESSEE CAPITALIZATION REQUIREMENTS

     35.1 Lessee's Net Worth. Lessee shall be obligated to maintain at all times
          ------------------
during the Term a Net Worth in an amount at least equal to the greater of (a)
Four Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($400,000.00), or (b) twenty percent

similar annual budgets last approved by Lessor pursuant to Section 3.5 or

similar sections of the Other Leases (the "Minimum Net Worth"). For the Lease
                                           -----------------
Year 1996 and until new annual budgets are approved by Lessor, the Minimum Net
Worth of Lessee required hereunder shall be Four Hundred Thousand and No/100
Dollars ($400,000.00). As used herein, "Net Worth" shall mean the excess of
total assets over total liabilities, total assets and total liabilities each to
be determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding, however, from the
determination of total assets: (a) goodwill, organizational expenses, research
and development expenses, trademarks, trade names, copyrights, patents, patent
applications, and other similar intangibles; (b) all deferred charges that are
not required to be capitalized in accordance with GAAP or unamortized debt

Doubletree Hotels, securities which are not readily marketable or are not listed
on a major recognized securities exchange, except for limited partnership units
in the Lessor registered in the name of the Lessee ("Units"); (e) any write-up
                                                     -----
in the book value of any asset resulting from a revaluation thereof; (f) this
Lease and the Other Leases; and (g) any items not included in clauses (a)
through (f) above that are treated as intangibles in conformity with GAAP.
Without limiting the foregoing exclusions, assets which may be included in the
Net Worth of Lessee shall be limited to Cash and Working Capital (the excess of
current assets over its current liabilities, both as determined in accordance
with GAAP), readily marketable securities which are listed on major, recognized
securities exchanges and Units. However, subject to Section 35.2, Lessee may
                                                    ------------
include in its assets, for purposes of its Net Worth, promissory notes payable
to Lessee from Doubletree Hotels Corporation, an Arizona corporation
("Doubletree Hotels") provided such notes shall be (i) in form satisfactory to
  -----------------
Lessor, (ii) delivered and endorsed to Lessor in a manner satisfactory to
Lessor, and (iii) collaterally assigned to Lessor as security for Lessee's
obligations under this Lease by a security agreement satisfactory to Lessor and
provided that Doubletree Corporation continues to be a publicly held and traded
company and Doubletree Hotels continues to be controlled directly by Doubletree
Corporation, each with (i) a Net Worth (excluding the working capital of any
hotels, other than the Facilities subject to this Lease and to the Other Leases)
at least equal to the Minimum Net Worth, and (ii) current assets in excess of
current liabilities (each determined in accordance with GAAP but excluding the
working capital of any hotels other

                                       67
<PAGE>
 


than the  Facilities  subject  to this  Lease and to the Other  Leases) at least
equal to the amount of such notes.

     35.2 Lessee's Cash. On the date hereof Lessee shall have Cash in the amount
          -------------
of at least $100,000.00, and Lessee shall at all times hereafter maintain an
adequate amount of Working Capital to operate the Facility and any Facilities
subject to Other Leases. As used herein, "Cash" shall mean (a) cash or other
                                          ----
immediately available funds, (b) any debt instrument with a term of up to 12
months that is issued by or backed by the full faith and credit of the United
States, (c) any certificate of deposit with a term of up to 12 months that is
issued by an issuer that, on the date of issuance and on each date of any
renewal or reissuance thereof, is a substantial U.S. financial institution that

instrument is in form and substance satisfactory to the Lessor, (d) any
irrevocable, "clean" letter of credit issued by an issuer that, on the date of
issuance and on each date of any renewal or reissuance thereof, is an Approved
Financial Institution, and which instrument is in form and substance
satisfactory to the Lessor, and (e) a repurchase agreement with a term of up to
ninety (90) days that is binding upon an Approved Financial Institution, and
which agreement is in form and substance satisfactory to the Lessor. As used
herein, "Working Capital" shall mean the excess of the Lessee's current assets
over the Lessee's current liabilities, both as determined in accordance with
GAAP.

     35.3 Verification of Net Worth.
          -------------------------
          (a) In  addition  to  the  Consolidated  Financials  of  Lessee  to be
delivered to Lessor pursuant to Section 22.1, Lessee shall deliver to Lessor,
                                ------------
together with such Consolidated Financials of Lessee, a certificate of Lessee's
chief financial officer in form reasonably required by Lessor (the "Financial
                                                                    ---------
Officer's Certificate"), certifying the Net Worth and Cash of Lessee as of the
- ---------------------
date of the Consolidated Financials of Lessee being delivered concurrently
therewith and stating that Lessee is in compliance with its obligations under
Sections 35.1 and 35.2 of this Lease, or if not, so stating and including the
- ----------------------
reasons therefor. Lessor shall have the right from time to time and at any time
to have an independent certified public accountant selected by Lessor perform an
audit or other review of the books and records of Lessee to verify the amount of
Lessee's Net Worth and Cash, and Lessee shall cooperate with Lessor in
connection therewith. If Lessor audits or reviews the amount of Lessee's Net
Worth and Cash shown in the last Financial Officer's Certificate delivered to
Lessor, and such audit or review discloses that either the Net Worth or Cash of
Lessee as of such date certified is one percent (1%) or more less than the
amount shown on the Financial Officer's Certificate or that the statements in
such Financial Officer's Certificate regarding Lessee's compliance with those
obligations under Sections 35.1 or 35.2 is otherwise materially incorrect, then
                  ---------------------
in addition to any other rights and remedies of Lessor, Lessee shall pay for the
cost of the audit or review. Otherwise, Lessor shall bear the cost of the audit
or review.

          (b) In the event Lessee utilizes promissory notes of Doubletree Hotels
to satisfy its Minimum Net Worth requirements, Doubletree Hotels shall (and
Lessee shall cause Doubletree Hotels to) deliver to Lessor, at such time as
Lessee delivers to Lessor its Consolidated Financials, (i) a certificate of
Doubletree Hotels' chief financial officer or its corporate controller in form
reasonably required by Lessor, certifying the Net Worth, current assets and
current liabilities of Doubletree Hotels as of the date of the Consolidated
Financials delivered by Lessee and stating that Doubletree Hotels and Lessee are
in compliance with

                                       68
<PAGE>
 


Section  35.1 of this Lease,  or if not, so stating  and  including  the reasons
- -------------
therefor, and (ii) the most recent Consolidated Financials of Doubletree Hotels
and Doubletree Corporation.

     35.4  Change of  Control.  Lessee  represents  and  warrants  that it is an
           ------------------
Arizona  corporation  all  of  whose  outstanding  capital  stock  is  owned  by
Doubletree Hotels and that all of the outstanding capital stock of Doubletree
Hotels is owned by Doubletree Corporation, a Delaware corporation, whose shares
are listed on NASDAQ. Lessee agrees that throughout the Term of this Lease, all
of the outstanding capital stock of Lessee shall be owned directly or indirectly
by, and Lessee shall be controlled by, Doubletree Hotels. Lessee also agrees
that throughout the Term Doubletree Hotels shall be controlled directly by
Doubletree Corporation and that no holder of the outstanding capital stock of
Doubletree Hotels shall be "a competitor of Lessor" as defined below. However, a
merger or a transfer of all or substantially all of the stock or assets of
Doubletree Hotels which results in Doubletree Hotels ceasing to be wholly owned
and controlled by Doubletree Corporation shall not constitute an Event of
Default. Lessee shall give Lessor prompt Notice of the occurrence of such a
transaction. If such a transaction occurs and if Lessor is not reasonably
satisfied that the Person(s) owning and controlling Doubletree Hotels is a
capable, reliable and qualified Person of good reputation and character which
has the financial capability to fulfill Lessee's obligations hereunder or, in
Lessor's reasonable judgment, such Person or an Affiliate of such Person is a
competitor of Lessor, Lessor may terminate this Lease upon ninety (90) days
Notice to Lessor given within one hundred twenty (120) days after Lessee
receives a Notice of the occurrence of such transaction. A "competitor of
Lessor" shall mean a Person which, or an Affiliate of which, is a real estate
investment trust which is or intends to become publicly held or traded. In the
event Lessor exercises its option to terminate in accordance therewith, Lessee
shall not be entitled to any compensation for early termination of this Lease.

     35.5 Other  Business  Activities.  Lessee  shall not engage in or incur any
          ---------------------------
expenses, indebtedness or obligations related to any business or activity,
including without limitation owning, leasing or managing hotels other than the
Facility, that is not directly related to leasing the Leased Property under this
Lease or the Other Leased Properties under the Other Leases.

     35.6  Non-Competition.  Without  Lessor's  prior written  consent,  neither
           ---------------
Lessee nor any Affiliate thereof shall, during the Term hereof, acquire,
construct, operate, lease, franchise, license or manage any hotel which uses a
Doubletree name brand within a five (5) mile radius of the Leased Property.
Without Lessor's prior written consent, neither Lessee nor any Affiliate thereof
shall, during the term hereof, acquire, construct, operate, lease, license or
manage any hotel within a two (2) mile radius of the Leased Property; provided,
however, the foregoing two (2) mile restriction shall not apply to (i) a hotel
acquired in a chain acquisition which does not use a Doubletree brand name, (ii)
Candlewood Hotel Company, L.L.C. so long as it is not controlled by or under
common control with Doubletree Hotels Corporation, (iii) shareholders of
Doubletree Corporation which are Affiliates but which are not controlled by or
under common control with Doubletree Hotels Corporation, including, without
limitation, the General Electric Pension Trust or (iv) hotels in which the
General Electric Pension Trust has an interest which are not operated, leased or
managed by Doubletree Hotels Corporation or an Affiliate thereof controlled by
or under common control with Doubletree Hotels Corporation.

                          LESSOR'S OPTION TO TERMINATE

     36.1 Lessor's Option to Terminate Lease.
          ----------------------------------
          (a) In the event (i) Lessor consummates a bona fide contract to sell
the Leased Property to a non-Affiliate, (ii) of a Tax Law Change resulting in
Lessor's determination to terminate this Lease, or (iii) Lessee fails to lease
from Lessor a total of not less than five (5) hotels (including the Facility) by
the third (3rd) anniversary of the Commencement Date then in any of such events
Lessor may terminate the Lease by (i) giving not less than ninety (90) days
prior Notice to Lessee of Lessor's election to terminate the Lease upon the
closing under such contract, (ii) upon not less than ninety (90) days' prior
written Notice to be given within ninety (90) days after the effective date of
the Tax Law Change, or (iii) not less than ninety (90) days' Notice after the
third anniversary of the Commencement Date, but before forty two (42) months
following the Commencement Date, in the event Lessee has failed to lease a total
of not less than five (5) hotels. Effective upon such date, this Lease shall
terminate and be of no further force and effect except as to any obligations of
the parties existing as of such date that survive termination of this Lease and
all Rent including Percentage Rent and Additional Charges shall be adjusted as
of the termination date.

          (b) As compensation for the early termination of its leasehold estate
under this Article XXXVI because of a sale of the Leased Property, Lessor shall
           -------------
not more than one (1) year prior to the anticipated termination date of this
Lease and in any event within 180 days of the closing of such sale, either (i)
pay to Lessee the fair market value of Lessee's leasehold estate hereunder as of
the closing of the sale of the Leased Property or (ii) offer to lease to Lessee
one or more substitute hotel facilities pursuant to one or more leases that
would create for the Lessee leasehold estates that have an aggregate fair market
value of no less than the fair market value of the leasehold estate created by
this Lease, both such values as determined as of the closing of the sale of the
Leased Property. Lessee may, in the exercise of its good faith judgment,
reasonably exercised, reject a proposed substitute leasehold estate or
combination of substitute leasehold estates having a fair market value of no
less than the fair market value of Lessee's leasehold estate hereunder (a
"Comparable Lease"), in which event Lessor shall be entitled to defer the

payment due Lessee pursuant to the option described in (i) above for a period of
up to three (3) years during which Lessor shall be allowed to propose other
Comparable Leases to Lessee. If Lessee rejects two (2) additional Comparable
Leases during such three-year period, Lessor shall have no obligations to Lessee
with respect to compensation for the early termination of this Lease. In the
event Lessor and Lessee are unable to agree upon the fair market value of
Lessee's leasehold estate or replacement leasehold estate, it shall be
determined by appraisal using the appraisal procedure set forth in Article XXXI.
                                                                   ------------
          (c) As compensation for the early termination of its leasehold estate
under this Article XXXVI because of a Tax Law Change, (i) Lessor shall, not more
           -------------
than one (1) year prior to the anticipated termination date of this Lease and in
any event within ninety (90) days of such termination, pay to Lessee the fair
market value of Lessee's leasehold estate hereunder as of the termination date
of this Lease, and (ii) prior to the anticipated termination date and effective
on the date thereof, Lessor and Lessee (or an Affiliate of Lessee) shall enter
into a new management agreement for the Facility for a term equal to the
remaining Term of this Lease and

                                       70
<PAGE>
 


a management fee equal to three percent (3%) of Gross Revenues, and containing
other terms consistent with those for comparable hotels. The fair market value
of such new management agreement shall be credited against the payment to be
made by Lessor to Lessee pursuant to clause (i) of the immediately preceding
sentence. In calculating such fair market value, fees payable under the new
management agreement shall be projected for the remaining Term of this Lease on
the basis which is most reasonable under the circumstances. In the event Lessor
and Lessee are unable to agree on any provisions of the new management
agreement, the matter shall be referred to arbitration as provided for in
Section 40.1 hereof.
- ------------
          (d) Lessee shall not be entitled to any compensation for early
termination of its leasehold estate under this Article XXXVI because of Lessee's
                                               -------------
failure to lease a total of not less than five (5) hotels from Lessor by the
third anniversary of the Commencement Date. Lessor and Lessee shall endeavor in
good faith to have Lessee lease at least five (5) hotels from Lessor by such
date.

          (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event of
termination of this Lease other than by reason of an Event of Default (and other
than by reason of or the expiration of the stated Term of this Lease), in
addition to any other sums payable by Lessor to Lessee, Lessor shall be
obligated to compensate Lessee for the early termination of its leasehold estate
by paying to Lessee (or offsetting against Lessee's obligation to pay Deferred
Rent) an amount equal to the amount of Deferred Rent not paid to Lessor at the
time of the termination of the Lease.

          (f) For the purposes of this Section, fair market value of the
leasehold estate means, as applicable, an amount equal to the price that a
willing buyer not compelled to buy would pay a willing seller not compelled to
sell for Lessee's leasehold estate under this Lease or an offered replacement
leasehold estate. In computing fair market value of a leasehold estate and a new
management agreement, the appraiser shall discount all future income, expenses
and fees to the then present value at a rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum.

          (a) To the extent any of the provisions of a Franchise Agreement or a
ground lease impose a greater obligation on Lessee than the corresponding
provisions of this Lease, then Lessee shall be obligated to comply with, and to
take all reasonable actions necessary to prevent breaches or defaults under, the
provisions of such Franchise Agreement and/or ground lease, except to the extent
that Lessee is prevented from complying with such Franchise Agreement or ground
lease because of Lessor's breach of its obligations to comply with Article

Lessor to pay or perform as required by such ground leases, ground rents, Lessor
Impositions and Lessor Insurance Costs and to pay and perform any other
obligations that would have to be paid or performed by Lessor under this Lease
if there were no ground leases. It is the intent of the parties hereto that
Lessee

                                       71
<PAGE>
 


shall comply in every respect with the provisions of any Franchise Agreement and
ground leases so as to avoid any default thereunder during the term of this
Agreement provided, however, the obligation to pay or perform as required by
such ground leases, ground rents, Lessor Impositions and Lessor Insurance Costs
and to pay and perform any other obligations that would have to be paid or
performed by Lessor under this Lease if there were no ground leases encumbering
the Leased Property, shall be the obligation of Lessor, and not of Lessee.

          (b) Lessee shall not enter into, terminate or enter into any
modification of any Franchise Agreement without in each instance first obtaining
Lessor's written consent.

          (c) Lessor and Lessee agree to cooperate fully with each other in the
event it becomes necessary to obtain a franchise extension or modification or a
new franchise for the Leased Property, and in any transfer of a Franchise
Agreement to Lessor or any Affiliate thereof or any other successor to Lessee
upon the termination of this Lease. Further, in the event of an early
termination of this Lease due to an Event of Default by Lessee, Lessor may
recover from Lessee the cost of the filing and application fees incurred as a
result of obtaining a new franchise with comparable marketing attributes and
name recognition as Doubletree, as well as transaction fees including, but not
limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees.

          (d) During the Term of this Lease, the Facility shall be operated as a
Doubletree Hotel without a franchise agreement. Notwithstanding the absence of a
franchise agreement, Lessee shall, and shall be entitled to, operate the
Facility utilizing the Doubletree name, logo and other applicable trademarks and
trade names, Doubletree's reservation system, marketing and advertising services
and other services provided by Doubletree Hotels and its Affiliates to
comparable Doubletree Hotels. If this Lease is terminated for any reason, Lessor
or its designee shall have the right, at the option of Lessor, to enter into a
franchise agreement with Doubletree Hotels, to continue to operate the Facility
as a Doubletree Hotel and to use the Doubletree Hotel name, logo and other
applicable trademarks or trade names, Doubletree's reservation system, marketing
and advertising services and other services provided by Doubletree Hotels and
its Affiliates to comparable Doubletree hotels for up to six (6) months
following the termination (the "Temporary Usage"). Such franchise agreement
                                ---------------
shall include fees (excluding any management fees) utilized and charged by
Doubletree Hotels in franchise agreements on a systemwide basis for comparable
hotels operating under the Doubletree name which utilize the Doubletree name and
services of Doubletree Hotels utilized by the Facility. However, the franchise
agreement for such Temporary Usage may be terminated by Lessor or its designee
on thirty (30) days' Notice to Doubletree Hotels and the franchise agreement
shall not impose standards for the Facility greater than those applicable to the
Facility at the time of termination of this Lease. If the termination of this
Lease is due to an Event of Default by Lessee, Lessor may offset any fees or
other sums payable to Doubletree Hotels under the franchise agreement against
sums owed by Lessee to Lessor hereunder.

          (e) Lessor shall promptly furnish to Lessee any default notices
received by Lessor under any ground leases. Without the prior written consent of
Lessee, Lessor shall not modify any ground leases in a manner which materially
increases Lessee's obligations or which materially and adversely affect Lessee's
rights under this Lease.

                              CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

     38.1 Capital Expenditures.
          --------------------
          (a) Commencing July 1, 1997, Lessor shall be obligated to accrue the
Capital Expenditures Reserve. Upon written request by Lessee to Lessor stating
the specific use to be made and subject to the reasonable approval thereof by
Lessor, such funds shall be made available by Lessor to Lessee for Capital
Expenditures set forth in the Capital Budget; provided, however, that no Capital
Expenditures shall be used to purchase property (other than "real property"
within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.856-3(d)), to the extent
that doing so would cause the Lessor to recognize income other than "rents from
real property" as defined in Section 856(d) of the Code. Lessor's obligation
shall be cumulative, but not compounded, and any amounts that have accrued
hereunder shall be payable in future periods for such uses and in accordance
with the procedures set forth herein. Lessee shall have no interest in any
accrued obligation of Lessor hereunder after the termination of this Lease. All
Capital Improvements shall be owned by Lessor subject to the provisions of this
Lease.

          (b) Except as specifically provided otherwise in Section 8.3(b),

Lessor's obligation to make Capital Expenditures in respect to Capital
Improvements and to comply with the provisions of this Lease which may require
the availability of funds for Capital Improvements shall be limited to amounts
available in the Capital Expenditures Reserve and such additional amounts as
Lessor may agree to make available in Lessor's sole discretion; provided,
however, that if additional Capital Expenditures are required to meet Emergency
Situations, comply with Legal Requirements or comply with Doubletree Standards,
Lessor shall make such amounts available and, to the extent (but only to the
extent) that it will not materially and adversely affect the five (5) year
Capital Budgets, Lessor shall receive a pro rata credit therefor against amounts
which Lessor is obligated to accrue for the Capital Expenditures Reserve. No
arbitration resulting from the failure of Lessor and Lessee to agree on the
Capital Budget shall increase Lessor's obligation for Capital Expenditures
beyond the amounts set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. Without
limiting Lessor's obligations under Section 38.1(a) with respect to amounts
                                    ---------------
accrued in the Capital Expenditures Reserve and whether or not reference is made
to this Article XXXVIII, to the extent that Lessee's obligations under this
        ---------------
Lease (including, without limitation, the obligations set forth in Sections 7.2,
                                                                   -------------

- ---------------------        --------------
for Capital Improvements and Lessor fails to provide Capital Expenditures
therefor, such obligations of Lessee shall be correspondingly diminished.

          (c) Lessor shall have sole authority with respect to the
implementation of all Capital Improvements made pursuant to the requirements of
the Capital Budget. Such authority shall extend both to the plans and
specifications (including matters of design and decor) and to the contracting
and purchasing of all labor, services and materials.

          (d) Lessor shall perform or have performed on behalf of Lessor the
renovation work described in the definition of Renovation Costs in accordance
with the final budget therefor to be agreed upon by Lessor and Lessee. Lessor
shall pay the Renovation Costs. The cost thereof shall be in addition to, and
shall not reduce, the Capital Expenditures Reserve. Lessor

                                       73
<PAGE>
 


shall not be obligated to expend more than $950,000.00 for Renovation Costs
unless Lessor expressly agrees in writing to do so in connection with its
Approval of the final budget for the Renovation Work.

          (e) Any dispute regarding the application of the first or last
sentences of Section 38.1(b) may be resolved by arbitration pursuant to Section
40.2.        ---------------                                            -------

     39.1 Lessor's Default.
          ----------------
          (a) It shall be a breach of this Lease if Lessor fails to observe or
perform any term, covenant or condition of this Lease on its part to be
performed and such failure continues for a period of thirty (30) days after
Notice thereof from Lessee, unless such failure cannot with due diligence be
cured within a period of thirty (30) days, in which case such failure shall not
be deemed a breach if Lessor proceeds within such thirty (30)-day period, with
due diligence, to cure the failure and thereafter diligently completes the
curing thereof within 180 days of such Notice which 180-day period shall cease
to run during any period that a cure of such failure is prevented by an
Unavoidable Delay and shall resume running upon the cessation of such
Unavoidable Delay. The time within which Lessor shall be obligated to cure any
such failure also shall be subject to extension of time due to the occurrence of
any Unavoidable Delay. If Lessor does not cure any such failure within the
applicable time period as aforesaid, Lessee may declare the existence of a
"Lessor Default" by a second Notice to Lessor. Thereafter, subject to the
 --------------
provisions of the following paragraph, Lessee may (but shall be under no
obligation at any time thereafter to) make such payment or perform such act for
the account and at the expense of Lessor. All sums so paid by Lessee and all
costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees
and court costs) so incurred, together with interest thereon at the Overdue Rate
from the date on which such sums or expenses are paid or incurred by Lessee
until the date paid by Lessor or offset by Lessee as expressly provided herein,
shall be paid by Lessor to Lessee on demand or Lessee may offset or counterclaim
such sums actually paid by Lessee against Rents or Other Charges due hereunder.
Lessee shall have no right to terminate this Lease for any Lessor Default and no
right, for any such Lessor Default, to offset or counterclaim against any rent
or other Charges due hereunder unless otherwise expressly provided in this
Lease.

          (b) If Lessor shall in good faith dispute the occurrence of any Lessor
Default and Lessor, before the expiration of the applicable cure period, shall
give Notice thereof to Lessee, setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis
therefor, no Lessor Default shall be deemed to have occurred and Lessor shall
have no obligation with respect thereto, and Lessee shall have no right to
offset or counterclaim for costs and expenses incurred and paid by Lessee
against any Rent or Other Charges due hereunder, until final adverse
determination thereof, whether through arbitration or otherwise; provided,
                                                                 --------
however, that in the event of any such adverse determination, Lessor shall pay

due hereunder, interest on any disputed funds at the Base Rate, from the date
demand for such funds was made by Lessee until the date of final adverse
determination and, thereafter, at the Overdue Rate until paid. If Lessee and
Lessor shall fail, in good faith, to resolve any such

the matter for determination by arbitration, but only if such matter is required
to be submitted to arbitration pursuant to any provision of this Lease, or
otherwise by a court of competent jurisdiction.

          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease,
for the enforcement of any judgment (or other judicial decree) requiring the
payment of money by Lessor to Lessee by reason of any default by Lessor under
this Lease or otherwise, Lessee shall look solely to the estate and property of
Lessor in the Leased Property and any insurance proceeds under any policies of
insurance maintained by Lessor in accordance with this Lease which are paid on
account of the same circumstances as led to Lessee's judgment, it being intended
that no other assets of Lessor or any of Lessor's Affiliates shall be subject to
levy, execution, attachment or any other legal process for the enforcement or
satisfaction of any judgment (or other judicial decree) obtained by Lessee
against Lessor, except in the following cases: (i) any liability of Lessor for
its own gross negligence, willful misconduct or Environmental Liabilities caused
by affirmative actions of Lessor, (ii) any liability of Lessor for repayment to
Lessee upon the termination of this Lease of any excess payments of Percentage
Rent or Additional Charges for the last Lease Year or part thereof, (iii) any
liability of Lessor for payment of compensation for the early termination of
Lessee's leasehold estate under Article XXXVI because of a sale of the Leased

period, Lessee shall be entitled to designate any nationally recognized
accounting firm with a hospitality division of which Lessee or an Affiliate of
Lessee is not a significant client to serve as arbitrator of such dispute within

event no nationally recognized accounting firm satisfying such qualifications is

Sections 40.1 or 40.2, a single arbitrator shall be designated and shall resolve

the dispute. The arbitrator's decision shall be binding on all parties and shall
not be subject to further review or appeal except as otherwise allowed by

the other party, to order such compliance by the non-complying party and to
supervise or arrange for the supervision of the non-complying party's obligation
to comply with the arbitrator's decision, all at the expense of the
non-complying party. To the maximum extent practicable, the arbitrator and the
parties, and the AAA if applicable, shall take any action necessary to insure
that the arbitration shall be concluded within ninety (90) days of the filing of
such dispute. The fees and expenses of the arbitrator shall be shared equally by
Lessor and Lessee except as otherwise specified above in this Section 40.3.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties or required by the arbitrator
or AAA, if applicable, arbitration proceedings hereunder shall be conducted in
the State. Notwithstanding formal rules of evidence, each party may submit such
evidence as each party deems appropriate to support its position and the
arbitrator shall have access to and right to examine all books and records of
Lessee and Lessor regarding the Facility during the arbitration.

          ----------
agreements or arrangements (i.e., agreements or arrangements pursuant to which
goods or services are provided to or for the benefit of the Lessee or its
Affiliates or the Facility in exchange for free or reduced rate rooms, food and
beverage services, or other Facility services) without Lessor's prior written
consent. As to any trade-out agreements assigned to and assumed by Lessee from
Lessor or the prior owner of the Leased Property, Lessor and Lessee shall agree
on fair and equitable amounts (or a methodology for determining such amounts) to
be included in Beverage Sales, Food Sales, Other Income and Room Revenues for
purposes of this Lease, including the calculation of Percentage Rent, to take
into account the loss of Gross Revenues, if any, resulting from the rooms or
services provided by the Facility in exchange for the goods or services provided
to Lessee, its Affiliates, or the Facility. If Lessor and Lessee do not reach
agreement as to such amounts (or a methodology for determining such amounts) the
disagreement shall be resolved by arbitration pursuant to Section 40.2. Lessor
                                                          ------------
shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to a trade-out agreement or
arrangement proposed by Lessee which benefits the Facility provided that the
term of the trade-out agreement does not extend beyond the stated Term of this
Lease and provided that Lessor and Lessee have agreed in writing as to the
amounts (or a methodology for determining such amounts) to be included in
Beverage Sales, Food Sales, Other Income and Room Revenues to take into account
the loss of Gross Revenues, if any, resulting from the rooms or services
provided by the Facility in exchange for the goods or services provided to or
for the benefit of the Facility.

          -------------
notwithstanding, all claims against, and liabilities of, Lessee or Lessor
arising prior to any date of termination of this Lease shall survive such
termination. If any term or provision of this Lease or any application thereof
is invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease and any other
application of such term or provisions shall not be affected thereby. If any
late charges or any interest rate provided for in any provision of this Lease
are based upon a rate in excess of the maximum rate permitted by applicable law,
the parties agree that such charges shall be fixed at and limited to the maximum
permissible rate. Neither this Lease nor any provision hereof may be changed,
waived, discharged or terminated except by a written instrument in recordable
form signed by Lessor and Lessee. All the terms and provisions of this Lease
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns. The headings in this Lease are for
convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the
meaning hereof. This Lease shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State, but not including its conflicts of laws rules. If any
payment required to be made pursuant to this Lease shall become due on a day
which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding
Business Day.

     42.2 Transition Procedures. Lessee and Manager shall cooperate in good
          ---------------------
faith to provide access and information to any prospective purchaser or lessee
of the Leased Property which may acquire the Leased Property or lease it upon
the expiration or termination of the Term. Upon any expiration or termination of
the Term, Lessor and Lessee shall do the following and, in general, shall
cooperate in good faith to effect an orderly transition of the management or
lease of the Facility. The provisions of this Section 42.2 shall survive the

expiration or termination of this Lease until they have been fully performed.

Lessor's designee all licenses, operating permits and other governmental
authorizations and all contracts, including contracts with governmental or
quasi-governmental entities, that may be necessary for the operation of the
Facility (collectively, "Licenses"), or (ii) if such transfer is prohibited by
                         --------
law or Lessor otherwise elects, to cooperate with Lessor or Lessor's designee in
connection with the processing by Lessor or Lessor's designee of any
applications for all Licenses, including Lessee continuing to operate the liquor
operations under its licenses with Lessor or its designee agreeing to indemnify
and hold Lessee harmless as a result thereof except for the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of Lessee; provided, in either case, that the costs and
expenses of any such transfer or the processing of any such application shall be

Criterion to provide Buyer with true, correct, and complete copies of such
changes, additions, deletions, or modifications.

          (c) From the Effective Date until the Closing Date or earlier

located at the Property or otherwise within the possession of Seller or
Criterion. Seller will permit Buyer, any current and prospective lenders to

such required report or disclosure without any liability whatsoever to Seller.

generally accepted principles and to enable them to prepare such statements,
reports or disclosures as Buyer may deem necessary or advisable. Criterion shall
provide to Buyer's independent accounting firm a signed representation letter
which would be sufficient to enable an independent public accountant to render
an opinion on the financial statements related to the Property. Seller shall
cause Criterion to authorize any attorneys who have represented Seller or
Criterion in material litigation pertaining to or affecting the Property to
respond, at Buyer's expense, to inquiries from Buyer's representatives and
independent accounting firm. If and to the extent Seller's financial statements
pertaining to the Property for any periods during the years 1993, 1994 and 1995
have been audited, promptly after the execution of this Agreement Seller shall
cause Criterion to provide Buyer with copies of such audited financial
statements and shall cooperate with Buyer's representatives and independent
public accountants to enable them to contact the auditors who prepared such
audited financial statements and to obtain, at Buyer's expense, a reissuance of
such audited financial statements.

of the repair or restoration thereof, Buyer shall appoint an independent
appraiser to ascertain such reasonable cost. Buyer and Seller share equally the
cost of such appraisal and the report of such independent appraiser shall be
conclusive to determine such cost for this Article 11.

     14.7 Governing Law. This Agreement is being executed and delivered, and is
intended to be performed, in the State of Florida, and the laws of such State
shall govern the validity, construction, enforcement, and interpretation of this
Agreement, unless otherwise specified herein.

     14.8 Performance of Agreement. The obligations under the terms of the
Agreement are performable in Broward County, Florida, and any and all payments
under the terms of the Agreement are to be made in Broward County, Florida.

     14.9 Venue. The parties hereto consent and agree that venue of any action
brought under this Agreement shall be in Broward County, Florida, if the venue
of such action is legally permissible in such county.

     14.10 Entirety and Amendments. This Agreement embodies the entire agreement
between the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, if

by an instrument in writing executed by the party against whom enforcement is
sought and, if enforcement is sought against the Seller, also executed by West
Merchant.

     14.11 Multiple Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in a number of
identical counterparts. If so executed, each of such counterparts is to be

assigns its rights to this Agreement, such assignment will have the effect of
fully releasing Buyer without any further documentation to evidence the same.
Notwithstanding the previous sentence, upon any such assignment, Seller further
agrees to execute any such documents as Buyer may require to effectuate Seller's
intent of releasing Buyer from any and all liability with regard to the
Agreement. Buyer agrees to accept performance of Seller's obligations hereunder

Company being unconditionally ready, willing and able, notwithstanding the
pendency of any Foreclosure/Bankruptcy Proceeding, pursuant to Section 3.3 of
                                                               -----------

     2. Transfer of Property.
        --------------------

          (a) Seller will transfer title to and possession of the Property to
Buyer at the Closing. Title to the Real Property will be transferred to Buyer by
quitclaim deed prepared by Seller's counsel and approved by Buyer's counsel (the
"Deed") and a quitclaim assignment of any leasehold estates prepared by Seller's
counsel and approved by Buyer's counsel (the "Leasehold Assignment"), subject
only to the matters approved by Buyer in accordance with Section 7. Title to the
FFE and the Inventories will be transferred free and clear of all liens, claims,
interests of third parties and encumbrances (except for purchase money security
interests in leased equipment and any items that are being leased by Seller as
reflected in the Schedule of Leases and Contracts and except for accounts
payable in the ordinary course as permitted in accordance with this Agreement)
pursuant to a quitclaim bill of sale (the "Bill of Sale"). Seller's right, title
and interest in each of the Leases, the Contracts, and the Licenses will be
transferred and assigned to Buyer, and Buyer will assume Seller's obligations
accruing thereunder subsequent to the Closing, pursuant to an assignment and
assumption agreement (the "Assignment and Assumption Agreement") all of the
foregoing to be current on the date of closing and free of all liens, claims,
interests of third parties and encumbrances (except for purchase money security
interests in leased equipment, any items being leased by Seller as reflected in
the Schedule of Leases and Contracts and accounts payable in the ordinary course
as permitted in accordance with this Agreement). In furtherance of the
preceding, Seller will by separate motion to the Bankruptcy Court or under the
Plan (as defined in Section 38 hereof), seek to assume and assign the Leases and
Contracts to Buyer pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. The
Approvals, the Records, the Reservations, the Reservation Deposits, the
Accounts, the Intangible Property, and the Documents will be transferred to
Buyer by written quitclaim assignment (the "Assignment").

          (b) If the transfer of any of the Leases or Contracts material to the
operation of the Hotel (the "Material Contracts") requires the consent of any
party other than Seller, the written consent of such party will be a condition
to Closing unless such condition is waived by Buyer or such assignment is so
ordered by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code
prior to Closing. The parties agree to cooperate in obtaining such consents and
effecting such transfers. Buyer agrees to accept the assignment of all Contracts
other than at Buyer's election, Contracts with pre-petition arrearages.

          (c) If the transfer of any of the Licenses material to the operation
of the Hotel (the "Material Licenses") requires the approval of any governmental
or quasigovernmental authorities, such approval will be a condition to Closing
unless such transfer is so ordered by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to Section
365 of the Bankruptcy Court or waived by Buyer. The parties agree to cooperate
in obtaining such approvals and effecting such transfers. The Material Licenses
will be set forth in a written notice to Seller delivered

                                       4
<PAGE>
 

by Buyer on or before the tenth (lOth) day after Seller delivers the last of the
Licenses to Buyer and attached hereto as Exhibit D. Transfer fees or similar
                                         ---------
charges to be incurred in connection with such consents and transfers will be
borne by the Buyer. If any such approval or order has not been obtained prior to
Closing, and Buyer waives such condition in writing, then, if not prohibited by
applicable law, Seller nevertheless will transfer the Property to Buyer, and the
parties will establish interim arrangements for the full and complete operation
of the Property in the manner it is presently being operated.

          (d) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Property is
being conveyed to Buyer free and clear of all liens, claims, interests, taxes,
assessments, security interests, encumbrances, debts, liabilities incurred after
the filing of the involuntary petition other than accounts payable incurred in
the ordinary course of business or current obligations due under Contracts,
Licenses and Leases incurred in the ordinary course of business.

          (e) Buyer acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Agreement dated
January 27, 1987 among Seller, Pacific Ventures, Inc., and the Suffolk County
Department of Public Works and the Suffolk County Sewer Agency ("Suffolk")
regarding the development of a sewage treatment plant on a portion of the
Property (the "STP Agreement"). Buyer acknowledges that Suffolk has exercised
its right to require Seller to convey the sewage treatment plant and its related
facilities including pumping stations (the "Plant") to Suffolk and that the sale
of the Property will exclude the Plant. Buyer shall have no right to any
adjustments at Closing on account of the exclusion of the Plant or any matter
relating to the Plant or the STP Agreement. After the Closing, Buyer will
cooperate in assuring that Seller was able to convey the Plant as required by
the STP Agreement.

     3. Purchase Price. The total purchase price to be paid (the "Purchase
        --------------
Price") by Buyer to Seller for the Property is Thirty Million Dollars
($30,000,000).

          (a) On execution of this Contract, Buyer will deposit the sum of Two
Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) in cash or by letter of credit with
Escrow Agent (as defined in Section 4) to be held for Buyer's and Seller's
benefit as provided herein (the "Deposit").

          (b) On the first business day following the expiration of the
Inspection Period, but no later than April 12, 1996, Buyer will increase the
Deposit to One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) by depositing an additional Seven
Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000) with the Escrow Agent in cash or by
letter of credit. Any interest earned on the Deposit will be considered part of
the Deposit and applied to the Purchase Price in the event the Closing occurs.

          (c) At Buyer's election, Buyer may post all or any portion of the
Deposit by a letter of credit in form and substance acceptable to Seller and
issued by a bank approved by Seller in its reasonable discretion.

balance of the Purchase Price in cash, bank or certified check, or wire transfer
of immediately available funds

     4. Escrow Agent.
        ------------

          (a) Winick & Rich, P.C. (the "Escrow Agent") will hold the Deposit as
escrow agent for the parties. If all or part of the Deposit is cash, Escrow
Agent will deposit the Deposit in an interest bearing trust account in a bank
acceptable to both parties and will not commingle the deposit with any other
funds. This Agreement will constitute the escrow instructions, however, if
required by Escrow Agent, the parties will execute Escrow Agent's standard form
of escrow instructions, with such changes as may be mutually acceptable to the
parties. In the event of any conflict between such printed form and this
Agreement, the terms of this Agreement will prevail.

          (b) The interest (which shall be part of the Deposit) on the Deposit
shall be paid to Seller at Closing (and applied against the Purchase Price) or
to the party entitled to receipt of the Deposit in the event the Closing fails
to occur. At the Closing, the Deposit shall be paid by Escrow Agent to Seller.
If for any reason the Closing does not occur and either party gives notice to
Escrow Agent demanding payment of the Deposit, Escrow Agent shall give prompt
notice to the other party of such demand. If Escrow Agent does not receive
notice of objection from such other party to the proposed payment within ten
(10) business days after giving of such notice, Escrow Agent is hereby
authorized and directed to make such payment. If Escrow Agent does receive such
notice of objection within such ten (10) day period or if for any other reason
Escrow Agent in good faith shall elect not to make such payment, Escrow Agent
shall continue to hold such amount until otherwise directed by notice from the
parties to this Agreement or a final, nonappealable judgment, order or decree of
a court. However, Escrow Agent shall have the right at any time to deposit the
Deposit and the interest thereon with the Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court or the
Clerk of the Court in the county in which the Property is located if the Clerk
of the Bankruptcy Court shall refuse to accept such deposit. The Escrow Agent
shall give notice of such deposit to Seller and Buyer. Upon such deposit or
other disbursement in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, Escrow Agent
shall be relieved and discharged of all further obligations and
responsibilities hereunder.

          (c) The Seller and Buyer acknowledge that Escrow Agent is acting
solely as a stakeholder at their request and for their convenience and that
Escrow Agent shall not be liable to either party for any act or omission on its
part unless taken or suffered in bad faith or in willful disregard of this
Agreement or involving gross negligence on the part of Escrow Agent. Seller and
Buyer jointly and severally agree to defend, indemnify and hold Escrow Agent
harmless from and against all costs, claims and expenses (including reasonable
attorney's fees) incurred in connection with the performance of Escrow Agent's
duties hereunder, except with respect to actions or omissions taken or suffered
by Escrow Agent in

                                        6
<PAGE>
 

bad faith or in willful disregard of this Agreement or involving gross
negligence on the part of Escrow Agent.

          (d) Escrow Agent may act or refrain from acting in respect of any
matter referred to herein in full reliance upon and with the advice of counsel
which may be selected by it and shall be fully protected in so acting or
refraining from action upon the advice of such counsel

          (e) Upon receipt of the Deposit, Escrow Agent will acknowledge such
receipt and Escrow Agent's agreement to the provisions of this paragraph by
signing in the place indicated on the signature page of this Agreement.

          (f) Escrow Agent may rely upon the genuineness or authenticity of any
document tendered to it by either of the parties, and shall be under no duty of
independent inquiry with respect to any acts or circumstances recited in such
document.

     5. Survey. Within two (2) business days of the execution of this Agreement,
        ------
Buyer will order an ALTA Survey (the "Survey"). To the extent permitted under
Section 7, Buyer will have the right to object to any matter shown on the
Survey. The procedure for Buyer to object to matters shown on the Survey, and
for Seller to cure the same, will be set forth in Section 7.

     6. Title Report.
        ------------

          (a) Within two (2) business days of the execution of this Agreement,
Buyer will request a commitment from East Coast Abstract Company and/or such
other title company as it selects (the "Title Company") to issue and deliver to
Buyer, at Buyer's expense (a) a commitment for title insurance (the "Title
Commitment") and (b) a UCC judgment and other search (collectively, the "U.C.C.
Reports"). To the extent permitted under Section 7, Buyer will have the right to
object to any matter affecting title to the Property as shown in the Title
Commitment or the U.C.C. Reports. The procedure for Buyer to object to matters
shown on the Title Commitment or the U.C.C. Reports, and for Seller to cure the
same, will be as set forth in Section 7.

          (b) Buyer acknowledges that it has been furnished with a recent Title

no objection to any matter affecting title to the Property disclosed therein and
agrees to take title subject to such matters. A copy of the Title Report is to

     7. Review Period. Buyer will have until five (5) days after receipt of the
        -------------
Survey, the Title Commitment and the U.C.C. Reports (the "Title Review Period"),
within which to review and give Seller written notice (the "Objection Notice")
of its objection (in its

                                        7
<PAGE>
 

sole and arbitrary discretion without having to provide any basis therefor) to
any matters contained in Survey, the Title Commitment, and the U.C.C. Reports
affecting title to, or the condition of, the Property or any part thereof not
shown in the Title Report. In the event Buyer fails to give Seller an Objection
Notice within the Title Review Period, then Buyer will be deemed to have
approved all such matters. Seller will have thirty (30) days from receipt of the
Objection Notice to cure all such objections. If Seller is unable or unwilling,
in its sole discretion, to cure such objections, Seller, at any time within said
thirty (30) day period, will provide Buyer with written notice specifying all
such objections that will not be cured (the "Non-Cure Notice"). If Seller
provides the Non-Cure Notice, Buyer may, within fifteen (15) days after receipt
of the Non-Cure Notice, provide written notice of termination to Seller, in
which event this Agreement will terminate, the Deposit will be returned to
Buyer, and the parties will have no further obligations or liabilities
hereunder, except for Buyer's obligations under Section 8(c), 8(e) and 21
hereof. If Buyer fails to provide such notice within said fifteen (15) day
period, Buyer will be deemed to have waived such objections and to have elected
to proceed with the sale without any reduction in the Purchase Price. If any
other exceptions to, or matters affecting, title are created between the dates
of the Survey, the Title Commitment or the U.C.C. Reports, as applicable, and
the Closing which Seller elects not to remove, then Buyer will have the option
to either (a) accept title subject to such exceptions or matters and proceed
with Closing, in which event there will be no reduction in the Purchase Price,
or (b) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Deposit will be returned to
Buyer and the parties will have no further obligations or liabilities hereunder,
except for Buyer's obligation under Sections 8(c), 8(e) and 21.

Property including, without limitation, Licenses, the Leases, the Contracts, the
Documents, the Records, the condition of the Property, and all financial,
economic and operational information relating to the ownership and operation of
the Property, (ii) to conduct such studies relating to the Property as Buyer may
reasonably require, and (iii) to otherwise determine the economic feasibility of
Buyer's intended use of the Property. In the event that such reviews, approvals,
inspections, and determinations reveal matters that are objected to by Buyer in
its sole and arbitrary discretion without Buyer having to provide any basis
therefor, Buyer, by written notice (the "Termination Notice") delivered to
Seller prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, may terminate this
Agreement, in which event Buyer will be entitled to a return of the Deposit and
the parties will have no further obligations or liabilities hereunder, except
for Buyer's obligations under Sections 8(c), 8(e) and 21 hereof. If Buyer fails
to provide Seller with a Termination Notice prior to the end of the Inspection
Period, then, subject to any other conditions set forth in this Agreement, Buyer
will be deemed satisfied as of the expiration of the Inspection Period with the
condition of the Property and the operation of the Hotel.

          (b) Seller will cooperate with Buyer to permit Buyer and Buyer's
designated agents to make the inspections and examinations authorized by this

Upon Buyer's request, Seller will promptly provide Buyer and Buyer's designated
agents with access to the Property, the Licenses, the Leases, the Contracts, the
Records and the Documents, including all modifications and amendments thereto
and, to the extent not included therein, any other relevant information as Buyer
may reasonably request and Seller can provide within the scope of the Hotel MA,
including without limitation any and all financial information relating to the
operation of the Hotel, any and all health, building, fire, safety and other
reports of governmental, quasigovernmental, insurance or other entities
concerning the Property or the operation of the Hotel, and any and all
inspection, environmental, structural, engineering and other reports with
respect to the Property and the operation of the Hotel (including those relating
to the heating, ventilation, air conditioning, plumbing, electrical, elevator
and other mechanical systems). All such examinations and inspections will take
place at reasonable times and locations and on reasonable notice and in a manner
which will not interfere with the normal operation of the Hotel and will comply
with the provisions of the Hotel MA. Seller will permit Buyer's agents to make
photocopies of any of such materials and information to the extent not
prohibited by the Hotel MA. Seller will use reasonable efforts to give Buyer
complete and full access to the Property and all such items and information,
throughout the Inspection Period in accordance with the Hotel MA. Nothing
contained in this Agreement shall obligate Seller to commence litigation against
Marriott or incur unreasonable cost or expense in the event that Buyer cannot
gain such access or any information or documents referred to above or herein
during the Inspection Period. In the event access or any information or
documents referred to above or herein is not provided, Buyer's sole remedy for
its inability to obtain the same will be to terminate this Agreement at the end
of the Inspection Period as provided in subsection (a) above.

          (c) Buyer agrees that any and all information obtained by Buyer from
such examinations and inspections will be held in confidence with its agents,
representatives and employees and will not be disclosed to anyone by Buyer
without the prior written consent of Seller. In the event this Agreement is
terminated prior to the Closing, Buyer will return to Seller any documents and
other materials received from Seller. Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold
Seller harmless from any loss, damages, costs or expenses (including reasonable
attorney's fees) arising as a result of Buyer's breach of this provision.

          (d) Seller expressly acknowledges that, as part of such inspections
and reviews during the Inspection Period, Buyer, at its sole option and expense,
may elect to conduct engineering, structural, environmental and/or other tests,
studies and audits in order to evaluate the condition of the Property, and that
any such test, audit or study may require that Buyer, or its agents, obtain
samples from the Land or Improvements for analysis, all at reasonable times and
on reasonable prior notice, without interference by Buyer with Seller's business
operations at the Hotel. Copies of all reports and results of all tests will be
delivered to Seller. Buyer agrees to repair promptly any damage resulting from
obtaining such samples.

          (e) Buyer will indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from any and
all damages, claims, losses, liabilities and expenses, including reasonable
attorneys' fees arising solely from or relating to any such examinations,
inspections, tests, audits or studies

                                        9

conducted by Buyer or its agents, except to the extent such losses, liabilities
and expenses arise solely from any negligent acts or omissions of Seller or its
agents. There shall be no indemnity for anY previously existing conditions.

          (f) After receipt of the list of Material Licenses from Buyer, if
Seller reasonably determines that any consent to the transfer of any such
transferable Material Licenses is unlikely to be obtained prior to the Closing,
Seller will notify Buyer within five (5) days. If Buyer does not waive such
consent as a condition to Closing, within three (3) business days of receipt of
Seller's notice, then at anytime thereafter, Seller may elect to terminate the
Agreement and refund the Deposit to Buyer and thereafter the parties shall have
no further obligations or liabilities to each other except for Buyer's
obligations under Sections 8(c), 8(e) and 21 hereof.

     9. Prorations and Adjustments. All matters and items which would normally
        --------------------------
be prorated, adjusted and apportioned between the parties as of the date of
Closing, including taxes, shall instead be transferred to and assumed by Buyer
including, without limitation, all liabilities and obligations of Seller to
Marriott under the Hotel MA. Buyer acknowledges that the Accounts have been
transferred in lieu of making any prorations or adjustments.

     10. Insurance. Until the Closing, Seller agrees to cause to be maintained
         ---------

liability and other insurance.

         ------------------
care of Seller, any safe-deposit boxes containing property of guests and any
items in the "Lost and Found Bin" will be listed in an inventory, prepared in
duplicate and signed by representatives of Seller and Buyer on the date of the
Closing. Buyer will be responsible from and after the Closing for all property
so listed and the contents of the identified safe deposit boxes, and Buyer
agrees to indemnify Seller, its agents, employees, representatives and assigns
against any claims, losses, damages or liabilities, including reasonable
attorneys' fees, relating to, in connection with or arising out of such listed
property and claims relating thereto from and after the Closing. Seller will
remain responsible for such claims arising before the Closing.

assessments, penalties and interest due for the period ending at 11:59 p.m. on
the day before the Closing will be paid by Seller at or before Closing. Seller
will procure, at Seller's expense, and provide to Buyer at the Closing any and
all certifications from appropriate governmental agencies certifying the payment
of such taxes through the most recent date prior to the Closing for which such
certifications are available. Buyer will pay all sales taxes, transaction
privilege taxes, occupancy taxes, excise taxes,

from and after the Closing. Seller will be responsible for all transfer or sales
taxes, if any, which may be payable with respect to the sale of the Property, or
any part thereof, or will obtain a final order from the Bankruptcy Court
providing that the transaction contemplated by this Agreement is exempt from
sales and transfer taxes under Section 1146(c) of the Bankruptcy Code. In regard
to the foregoing obligation, Buyer agrees to give Seller immediate written
notice of any sales tax assessment, including copies of any tax bills, in regard
to the transaction embodied by this Agreement. Seller represents that there are
no tax appeals pending.

     13. Employees and Payroll.
         ---------------------

     Seller represents that all employees at the Property are employees of
Marriott and that Seller has no obligations with regard to any employees and
Buyer will not assume any such obligation except to the extent of Seller's
obligations under the Hotel MA.

     14. Condemnation and Casualty.
         -------------------------

          (a) Seller will promptly notify Buyer of any condemnation or
threatened condemnation of the Real Property between the date hereof and the
Closing (the "Condemnation Notice"). If the condemnation or threatened
condemnation would materially and adversely affect the operation of the Hotel in
the reasonable determination of Buyer, then Buyer will have the right to
terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller within fifteen (15) days
following receipt of the Condemnation Notice. During such fifteen (15) day
period, Seller will provide Buyer with any and all information reasonably
requested by Buyer concerning the condemnation or threatened condemnation,

terminates this Agreement, the Deposit will be returned to Buyer, and the
parties will have no further obligations or liabilities hereunder, except for
Buyer's obligations under Sections 8(c), 8(e) and 21. If Buyer elects not to
terminate this Agreement or fails to respond to the Condemnation Notice within
such fifteen (15) day period, the purchase contemplated herein will be
consummated without reduction of the Purchase Price within later of ten (10)
days after the expiration of such fifteen (15) day period or on the Closing, in
which event Buyer will be entitled to any condemnation award. Seller will
assign, transfer and set over to Buyer all of Seller's right, title and interest
in and to such condemnation proceeds necessary to give full effect to this
section.

          (b) Seller will promptly notify Buyer of any fire or other casualty
affecting the Land between the date hereof and the Closing. As soon as
reasonably possible thereafter, Seller will provide Buyer with written notice of
the nature, extent and cost of all repairs, together with all other information
relating thereto, including all information concerning insurance coverage
therefor (the "Casualty Notice") which repairs will be subject to reasonable
approval of Buyer. If the cost of such repair exceeds $500,000, then Buyer will
have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller within
fifteen (15) days

                                       11

following receipt of the Casualty Notice. If Buyer so terminates this Agreement
the deposit will be returned to Buyer, and the parties will have no further
obligations or liabilities hereunder, except for Buyer's obligations under
Sections 8(c), 8(e) and 21 hereof. If Buyer elects not to terminate this
Agreement or fails to respond to the Casualty Notice within such fifteen (15)
day period, the purchase contemplated herein will be consummated without
reduction of the Purchase Price within the later of ten (10) days after the
expiration of such fifteen (15) day period or on the Closing, in which event the
insurance proceeds will be used for such repairs and, to the extent necessary,
Seller will assign, transfer and set over to Buyer all of Seller's right, title
and interest in and to such proceeds.

          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, in the event Buyer elects not to terminate this Agreement under
Section 14(a) or Section 14(b), Buyer will be entitled to an additional credit
against the Purchase Price in the amount of any insurance or condemnation
proceeds that are not used or assigned as provided therein, including payment
thereof to any person with a mortgage or other encumbrance on the Real Property.

     15. Use of Names. Seller acknowledges that all trade names and service
         ------------
marks currently being used by Seller in connection with the Hotel (except those
owned by Marriott) are being assigned and transferred to Buyer as part of the
purchase of the Property including, without limitation, but subject to the
provisions of Section l(j) hereof, the name "WindWatch". Buyer acknowledges that
it is acquiring no interest whatsoever in any of the Excepted Property, and
Buyer will have no right to use trade names and service marks owned by Marriott
in connection with the operation of the Hotel subsequent to the Closing unless
Marriott and Buyer enter into an agreement providing otherwise. Seller will
execute and deliver to Buyer any and all documents reasonably requested by Buyer
to effect the assignment and transfer of any trade names and service marks under
this Agreement.

     16. Closing. Consummation of the purchase and sale of the Property pursuant
         -------
to this Agreement (the "Closing") will take place at the offices of Winick &
Rich, P.C., 919 Third Avenue, New York, New York 10022 July 14, 1996 but in no
event earlier than the earlier of five (5) business days after (a) an order
confirming the Chapter 11 Plan of the Seller becomes a final order or (b) an
order approving this Agreement and the sale contemplated hereunder pursuant to
Section 363 and 365 of the Bankruptcy Code becomes a final order. The provisions
of this Section are subject to the extension rights provided in Sections 7, 14,
16 or 17 hereof. As used in this Agreement the term "final order" shall mean an
order as to which the time to appeal or seek review has expired and as to which
no appeal or any extension thereof shall then be pending or in the event that an
appeal, review or rehearing has been sought, such appeal or other proceeding has
been withdrawn or dismissed with prejudice or such order has been affirmed by
the highest court to which such order was appealed and the time to appeal or to
seek review of such appellate order has expired. In the event (i) the order
confirming the Plan or (ii) the order approving this Agreement and the sale
hereunder pursuant to Section 363 and 365 of the Bankruptcy Code does not become
final by July 14, 1996 either Buyer or Seller may, by written notice to the
other, terminate this

                                       12
<PAGE>
 

Agreement in which event Buyer shall receive a refund of the Deposit and the
parties will have no further obligations or liabilities hereunder, except for
Buyer's obligation under Sections 8(c), 8(e) and 21. Except as otherwise
expressly provided in this Agreement, any extension beyond such date will
require the written consent of both parties.

     17. Default of Buyer or Seller.
         --------------------------

          (a) If the purchase and sale of the Property as contemplated herein is
not consummated as a result of Buyer's breach or default under this Agreement
(which breach or default remains uncured for five business (5) days following
written notice thereof from Seller), then Seller, as its sole and exclusive
remedy, may elect to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Buyer and to
receive and retain the Deposit as liquidated damages. In light of the difficulty
of determining Seller's damages in such event, the parties agree that the
Deposit is a fair and reasonable amount to be retained by Seller as liquidated
damages; that such amount is a reasonable estimate of such damages under the
circumstances; and that retention by the Seller of such amount will not
constitute a penalty or forfeiture.

          (b) If the purchase and sale of the Property as contemplated herein is
not consummated as a result of Seller's breach or default under this Agreement
(which breach or default remains uncured for five (5) business days following

this Agreement by written notice to Seller. Buyer shall have the right of
specific performance in the event of Seller's willful default or willful refusal
to close. If Buyer elects to so terminate this Agreement, the Deposit will be
returned to Buyer, and the parties shall have no further obligations hereunder.

any termination under this Section 17.

         ---------
Court approval each person signing below represents and warrants that he or she
is fully authorized to execute and deliver this Agreement in the capacity set
forth beneath his or her signature.

     38. Seller's Bankruptcy. (a) Within ten (10) days following the expiration
         -------------------
of the Inspection Period, Seller will (i) prepare and file a Plan of
Reorganization and Disclosure Statement which will provide for the sale of the
Property and the assumption of any executory contracts pertaining to the use of
the Property (pursuant to 11 U.S.C. ss.365, including without limitation, the
Material Contracts) and their assignment to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement
(the "Plan"), or (ii) will seek court approval of this Agreement in a motion
pursuant to 11 U.S.C. ss.ss.363(b) and (f), and 365 and any other applicable
sections of the Bankruptcy Code ("Motion"). A draft of the (1) the Plan and
Disclosure Statement, or the Application in support of the Motion and (2) the
order confirming the Plan or approving the sale will be provided to Buyer no
later than five (5) days prior to their filing. Buyer shall have prior approval
of the form of the order approving the sale or the order confirming a plan, as
said orders affect Buyer, prior to the submission of such orders to the Court.
Buyer and Seller acknowledge that the parties' obligations to close hereunder
are conditioned upon Seller obtaining the approval of this Agreement by Motion
or confirmation of a Chapter 11 Plan. This Agreement is subject to higher and
better offers only if Seller proceeds by way of Motion pursuant to 11 U.S.C.
ss.363. The Seller shall not entertain any such offer unless (A) such offer is
at least $1,500,000.00 greater than the Purchase Price set forth in this
Agreement, plus the amounts payable by Buyer under Section 3 and Section 23, and
(B) the person making such offer qualifies as a bidder in accordance with the
rules for bidding as set forth in any order of the Court or notice circulated by
the Seller. Seller shall confer with Buyer regarding such bidding procedures and
will incorporate all of Buyer's reasonable requests, but Seller's determination
as to the rules for bidding shall be final. Seller agrees that the bidding
procedures shall require bidders to comply with the following: (1) each bidder
must post a ten (10%) percent downpayment in cash or cash equivalents at the
auction, (2) the closing under any new bid must be scheduled to occur within
thirty (30) days from the the date of the auction, (3) not later than five (5)
days before the auction each bidder must submit its bid in writing and must set
forth the identity of the principals of the bidder and a source of funds
sufficient to allow the bidder to acquire the Property in the time required. The
foregoing information shall be made available to Buyer as soon as practicable
after receipt by Seller. The obligation to close this Agreement will not be
binding upon the parties hereto until a final order approving the Agreement or
confirming the Plan has been entered. Seller shall promptly provide Buyer with
copies of any opposition papers received by Seller.

                                       21
<PAGE>
 

          (b) Within ten (10) business days following the expiration of the
Inspection Period, Seller shall apply to the Bankruptcy Court for an order
approving payment to Buyer of a fee in the amount of $1,000,000.00 to be paid by
Seller to Buyer in the event that the Bankruptcy Court approves, either in
connection with a motion pursuant to 11 U.S.C. ss.363 seeking approval of this
Agreement or a plan of reorganization filed by Seller in its Chapter 11 case
(which plan proposes the sale of the Property to Buyer), the sale of the
Property or any substantial portion thereof to any person or entity other than
Buyer (the "Break-Up Fee Order") and such transaction closes. The fee will only
be payable if this Agreement has not been terminated as a result of Buyer's
default and Buyer is otherwise ready, willing and able to complete the purchase,
provided, however, that in no event shall it be payable if Buyer terminates this
agreement under Section 7 or 8 hereof and Seller has complied with its
obligation hereunder. Seller shall provide Buyer's counsel with drafts of the
papers that will be submitted to the Court in support of the entry of the
Break-Up Fee Order within five (5) business days of the return date of the
motion seeking Bankruptcy Court approval of such Break-Up Fee. Buyer will have
final approval of the form of Break-Up Fee Order, which approval will not be
unreasonably withheld and may appear at the hearing thereon. Seller will also
promptly provide to Buyer copies of any objections filed with respect to the
application for the Break-Up Fee Order, upon their receipt by Seller or its
counsel.

     39. Exculpation of Seller's Partners. Seller's partners shall have no
         --------------------------------
personal liability hereunder and Buyer agrees to look solely to the Property to
satisfy any claims Buyer may have against Seller.

     40. Gains Tax. Buyer and Seller shall cooperate in filing all
         ---------
questionnaires required to comply with Article 31B of the New York Tax Law
immediately following the expiration of the Inspection Period in order to obtain
the tentative assessment and return required by Section 24(d) hereof.

     41. Jurisdiction. Buyer and Seller consent to the jurisdiction of the
         ------------
Bankruptcy Court to resolve any disputes arising out of or related to this
Agreement.

     42. Hart Scott Rodino. Buyer and Seller agree that if a federal Hart Scott
         -----------------
Rodino Act filing is required by law, then


                                       22
<PAGE>
 

Buyer shall bear the cost of such filing, provided, however, that Seller shall,
at its own expense, cooperate with Buyer in producing all information necessary
to complete such filing.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement effective
as the day and year first written above.

                    AMENDMENT TO PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT

     This Amendment to Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of April 12, 1996
between Colony Hill Associates ("Seller") and PAH Acquisition Corporation
("Buyer").

     WHEREAS, Seller and Buyer entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the
"Agreement") dated as of March 15, 1996; and

     WHEREAS, Buyer wishes to acquire an additional parcel from Seller and the
parties wish to provide for certain modifications to the Agreement as more fully
provided herein.

     NOW THEREFORE, for mutual consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree that the Agreement is modified
as set forth in this Amendment. All terms not defined herein have the meaning
assigned to them in the Agreement.

     C. In addition to the real property to be conveyed to Buyer under the
Agreement, Seller has agreed to sell and Buyer has agreed to purchase the parcel
outlined on Schedule 1 hereto and marked as the office parcel (the "Office
Parcel"). The exact location of the property line between the Office Parcel and
the Hotel Parcel and the parcels to the south will be subject to agreement with
the purchaser of such parcels (the "Golf Purchaser") as provided in Section 3(c)
below. Buyer and Seller agree that Exhibit A to the Agreement is replaced with
Schedule 1 hereto.

     D. The Purchase Price set forth in Section 3 of the Agreement shall be
increased to Thirty Million Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($30,200,000.00).

     E. In addition to the conditions to Closing set forth in Sections 22 and 23
of the Agreement, the following shall also be conditions to Buyer's and Seller's
obligations to close:

          1. Seller shall have delivered to Buyer an agreement (the "Reservation
Agreement") reserving a total of 72,399 gallons per day ("GPD") capacity in the
waste water treatment plant owned by Seller and currently servicing the
Property. Such capacity shall be sufficient to continue operating the Hotel
consistent with past usage and to provide additional capacity for (i) a 150 Unit
expansion of the Hotel, (ii) for a 2,900 square foot ballroom expansion, (iii) a
potential 100,000 square foot office building to be constructed on the Office
Parcel and (iv) a 200 seat cafeteria in the office building. The Reservation
Agreement will be substantially similar to the Third-Party Sewer Agreements
currently recorded against the Property and referred to in the Title Report as
<PAGE>
 

exception numbers 9, 10, 11, 15, 16, 22, 23, and 24 and will provide for (1)
Seller to agree to (i) reserve the sewage treatment capacity levels provided for
herein, (ii) perform all obligations with regard to the Property as are
presently performed by "Owner" under the current Third-Party Sewer Agreements
(iii) retain and assume all obligations presently performed by it as "Owner"
under the current Third-Party Sewer Agreements (other than maintenance of the
sewer lines used by Buyer and the Third-Parties located at the Property), and
(iv) Seller shall allow Buyer to enforce Seller's rights against Third-Parties
with regard to reimbursement for maintenance of Third-Party sewer lines through
the Property and (2) Buyer to agree to (i) pay a minimum operation and
maintenance fee of $1.50 per annum per gallon of reserved capacity for all
constructed Improvements, (ii) construct a Site Sewer System (as defined in the
Third-Party Sewer Agreements) to connect any newly constructed improvements at
the Property to the Plant, (ii) pay a sewer connection fee for newly constructed
improvements and (iv) perform all other obligations of the "Company", as more
particularly set forth in the form of Third-Party Sewer Agreements that will be
used as the basis for drafting the Reservation Agreement. Seller shall provide
Buyer with a letter from the Suffolk County Department of Public Works ("DPW"),
on its behalf and on behalf of the Suffolk County Sewer Agency (the "Sewer
Agency"), acknowledging that the Plant has existing capacity to provide the
sewage treatment capacity levels provided for herein; that such capacity has
been reserved for the Property; and the DPW and Sewer Agency will look to the
Seller and Pacific Ventures, Inc., and not to the Buyer, for the performance of
the obligations retained by the Seller and Pacific Ventures, Inc. under the
Third-Party Agreements and the Reservation Agreement with Buyer.

          2. Seller shall have received written approval from the Town of Islip
for a subdivision of the WindWatch property owned by Seller into five separate
parcels: the Hotel Parcel, the golf parcel (the "Golf Parcel"), the residential
parcel (the "Residential Parcel"), the office parcel (the "Office Parcel"), and
the parcel containing the Plant (the "STP Parcel"), which approval shall allow
the continued existing zoning classification and uses of each of the parcels
following the subdivision.

          3. Buyer and the Golf Purchaser (or Seller, in the event the Golf and
Residential Parcels are to be retained by Seller and not conveyed to a third
party) shall have agreed on the terms and conditions of agreements (the
"Reciprocal Agreements") pursuant to which Buyer and the Golf Purchaser shall
have resolved the manner in which (i) the property lines between the Golf Parcel
and the Hotel Parcel and between the Residential Parcel and the Hotel Parcel
will be drawn, (ii) appropriate access and parking for the Golf Parcel will be
provided over the Hotel Parcel, (iii) real estate taxes assessed to the
improvements on the parcels are allocated pending the issuance of separate tax
bills for each of the parcels, (iv) the responsibility for rental payments on
the lease of those portions of the parking area located on the Long Island
Lighting Company property is allocated, and (v) access to the Golf Course is
provided to guests of the Hotel.

     F. In addition to the deliveries at Closing set forth in Section 24 of the
Agreement, Seller shall (i) deliver a notice of termination of the Hotel MA,
(ii) pay Marriott the termination fee provided for in Section 19.02 of the Hotel
MA out of the proceeds of the sale and (iii) execute and/or deliver the
agreements referred to in Section 3(a) and (b) above.
<PAGE>
 

     G. In addition to the deliveries at Closing set forth in Section 25 of the
Agreement, Buyer shall execute and deliver the agreements referred to in Section
3(a) and (c) above.

     H. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the
Agreement, if Buyer and the Golf Purchaser have not delivered to Seller a final
copy of the agreed form for each of the agreements referred to in Section 3(c)
above by May 10, 1996, then at anytime thereafter Seller may elect to terminate
the Agreement and refund the Deposit to Buyer and thereafter the parties shall
have no further obligations or liabilities to each other except for Buyer's
obligations under Sections 8(c), 8(e) and 21 of the Agreement.

     I. Buyer and Seller agree that the Inspection Period provided for in
Section 8 of the Agreement has expired.

     J. Schedule 2 hereto is agreed to be Exhibit E to the Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 7 of the
Agreement, Buyer and Seller agree that (a) Buyer's right to deliver an Objection
Notice with regard to any matter shown in the Title Commitment as permitted
under Section 7 of the Agreement shall run from the date Buyer received the
Title Commitment, (b) Buyer's right to deliver an Objection Notice with regard
to any matter shown in the Survey as permitted under Section 7 shall run from
the date Buyer receives the Survey and (c) Buyer's right to deliver an Objection
Notice with regard to any matter shown in the U.C.C. Reports as permitted under
Section 7 shall run from the date Buyer receives the U.C.C. Reports. In the
event Buyer fails to give Seller an Objection Notice within the aforementioned
time periods, Buyer will be deemed to have approved all such matters. Seller
will have thirty (30) days from the receipt of the last Objection Notice to cure
all such objections or to deliver the Non-Cure Notice as provided in Section 7.

     K. Seller shall cooperate with Buyer in requesting the consent of the
existing mortgagee to the assignment, at closing, of a portion of the existing
mortgage on the Hotel Parcel to a person designated by Buyer. Buyer will pay all
costs imposed by the mortgagee in connection with such request.

     L. Except as modified hereby, the Agreement remains in full force and
effect.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Amendment as of the
date first above written.

Re:         Strategic alliance to acquire and lease Wyndham hotels

Dear Ms. Raymond:

This letter of intent outlines a three-stage strategic alliance between Patriot
American Hospitality, Inc. ("Patriot") and Wyndham Hotels and Resorts
("Wyndham").

1. Stage I. Initially, Patriot's operating partnership subsidiary, Patriot
American Hospitality Partnership, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership") will
acquire the Stage I Hotels from affiliates of Wyndham that hold title (the
"Sellers") and lease the Stage I Hotels to an affiliate of Wyndham ("Lessee").
The principal terms of the Contracts of Sale and the Leases for the Stage I
Hotels are stated in this letter of intent. The "Stage I Hotels" are:

            191-Room Wyndham Midtown Atlanta, Georgia
            168-Room Wyndham Las Colinas, Irving, Texas
            148-Room Wyndham Novi, Detroit, Michigan
            162-Room Wyndham Wood Dale, Chicago, Illinois
            473-Room Wyndham Greenspoint, Houston, Texas

2. Stage II. As Contracts of Sale are being negotiated for the Stage I Hotels,
Wyndham and Patriot will proceed in good faith to reach agreement on purchase
and lease terms for the following hotels (the "Stage II Hotels"):

            239-Room Wyndham Bristol, Washington, D.C.
            408-Room Wyndham Northwest Chicago, Illinois
            410-Room Wyndham Palm Springs, California
            300-Room Wyndham Harbour Island, Tampa, Florida

3. Stage III. Finally, Patriot and Wyndham contemplate joining in an agreement
whereby in the future, proposed additions to Wyndham's portfolio of luxury,
full-service hotels will be presented to Patriot on some preferred basis.

4. Press Releases. None of Patriot, Wyndham, Seller, or Lessee will issue any
public statement about this transaction or relationship without providing the
others a copy of the proposed statement and receiving their prior written
approval of the content; provided, however, such approval right may not be
exercised in any manner that prevents any disclosure required by law or by the
rules of any stock exchange on which securities of any party are traded.

5. Purchase Price. A total of $96,000,000 for the Stage I Hotels allocated as
follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>

<S>                                                          <C>        
            Wyndham Midtown Atlanta                          $16,730,000
            Wyndham Las Colinas                              $16,120,000
            Wyndham Novi                                      $5,770,000
            Wyndham Wood Dale                                $13,380,000
            Wyndham Greenspoint                              $44,000,000
</TABLE>

Except as provided in Paragraph 8(b), the purchase price will be payable in
cash.

6. Performance Payments. The total purchase price may increase if the following
"Performance Payments" are earned:

     (a) If the Net Rent for the Wyndham Midtown Atlanta equals or exceeds 11%
of Invested Capital for calendar 1996 on an annualized basis and 12% of Invested
Capital for calendar year 1997, the Seller of that hotel will earn a Performance
Payment of $2,000,000 payable in cash. "Net Rent" means in the case of the
Wyndham Midtown Atlanta, total rent paid under the Lease of the Wyndham Midtown
Atlanta (without subsidy through reduction of management fees or other
contributions by Lessee or its affiliates) less any amounts payable by the
Operating Partnership for taxes, insurance, and capital reserves, which reserves
will equal 4% of gross revenues. "Invested Capital" means in the case of the
Wyndham Midtown Atlanta, (i) $18,730,000, plus (ii) all costs and expenses
incurred by Patriot or its affiliates in connection with the acquisition and
leasing of the Wyndham Midtown Atlanta (not to exceed $250,000), plus (iii)
expenditures to carry out the initial renovation budget for the Wyndham Midtown
Atlanta, which unless otherwise agreed by Patriot and the Seller of the Wyndham
Midtown Atlanta will not exceed $500,000.

     (b) If the Net Rent for the Wyndham Greenspoint equals or exceeds 11% of
Invested Capital for calendar 1996 on an annualized basis and 12% of Invested
Capital for calendar year 1997, the Seller of that hotel will earn a Performance
Payment of $1,000,000 payable in cash. "Net Rent" means in the case of the
Wyndham Greenspoint, total rent paid under the Lease of the Wyndham Greenspoint
(without subsidy through reduction of management fees or other contributions by
Lessee or its affiliates) less any amounts payable by the Operating Partnership
for taxes, insurance, and capital reserves, which reserves will equal 4% of
gross revenues. "Invested Capital" means in the case of the Wyndham Greenspoint,
(i) $45,000,000, plus (ii) all costs and expenses incurred by Patriot or its
affiliates in connection with the acquisition and leasing of the Wyndham
Greenspoint (not to exceed $250,000), plus (iii) expenditures to carry out the
initial renovation budget for the Wyndham Greenspoint, which unless otherwise
agreed by Patriot and the Seller of the Wyndham Greenspoint will not exceed
$500,000.

7. Lease Terms. When the Contracts of Sale for the Stage I Hotels are signed by
the Sellers, Lessee will sign an agreement to enter into Leases for each of the
Stage I Hotels with the Operating Partnership when the closings under the
Contracts of Sale occur. The identity, ownership, and management of Lessee must
be acceptable to Patriot, and the Leases must comply fully with federal income
tax requirements applicable to real estate investment trusts. Subject to the
foregoing, the Leases will provide that:
<PAGE>
 

Wyndham Hotels and Resorts
April 10, 1996
Page 3

     (a) Lessee's initial minimum net worth will be $3,000,000. During the terms
of the Leases thereafter, Lessee will maintain a minimum net worth equal to 20%
of the aggregate pro forma annual rents each year under the Leases and any
future leases between Lessee and the Operating Partnership or other affiliates
of Patriot. Up to 50% of the required minimum net worth may consist of demand
notes from Wyndham or other shareholders of Lessee acceptable to Patriot, and
the balance of the required minimum net worth will consist of cash and other
working capital. Once the portfolio of hotels leased by Lessee from the
Operating Partnership includes at least 1,585 hotel guest rooms, the minimum net
worth maintenance requirement will be changed to 17.5% of the pro forma annual
rents each year for so long thereafter as the number of leased hotel guest rooms
exceeds 1,585; provided, however, such change will not result in the reduction
of the required minimum net worth in effect immediately prior thereto.

     (b) Rent will equal the greater of base rent or percentage rent, plus
additional rent, and will be determined as follows:

          (i) Base rent will equal the sum of (A) 10% of the Rent Computation
Amount, plus (B) ad valorem taxes, insurance premiums payable by the Operating
Partnership, and capital reserves at 4% of gross revenues, all as mutually
agreed on a pro forma basis for calendar year 1996 on an annualized basis. The
Operating Partnership will be responsible for paying ad valorem taxes, certain
insurance premiums, and capital expenditures up to the amount of the 4% capital
reserve. The "Rent Computation Amount" for each Stage I Hotel will equal (C) the
purchase price paid for the hotel, plus (D) all costs and expenses incurred by
Patriot or its affiliates in connection with the acquisition and leasing of the
hotel (but no more than $250,000 per hotel), plus (E) renovation expenditures
actually incurred during the first Lease year (i.e., the first 12 months from
closing) at each Stage I Hotel in accordance with the renovation budget, which
will not exceed $1,900,000 in the aggregate unless otherwise agreed by Patriot
and Wyndham.

          (ii) Base rent will be adjusted as follows:

               (A) Initially, base rent will be set using a Rent Computation
Amount based on estimated renovation expenditures for 1996 in accordance with
the first Lease year's renovation budget, and at the end of 1996, an appropriate
reconciliation will be made based on actual expenditures in 1996. In 1997, base
rent will be set using a Rent Computation Amount based on the expenditure of the
full agreed amount of the first Lease year's renovation budget, and at the end
of 1997, an appropriate reconciliation will be made based on total actual
expenditures in accordance with such renovation budget.

               (B) If the Performance Payment for the Wyndham Midtown Atlanta is
earned, base rent for that hotel will increase in 1998 for that year and all
future years by $200,000 (10% of the applicable Performance Payment). If the
Performance Payment for the Wyndham Greenspoint is earned, base rent for that
hotel will increase in 1998 for that year and all future years by $100,000 (10%
of the applicable Performance Payment).

               (C) Base rent will be adjusted annually beginning in 1997 to
reflect increases in the consumer price index.
<PAGE>
 
Wyndham Hotels and Resorts
April 10, 1996
Page 4

               (iii) Percentage rent and break points (including annual
adjustments based on changes in the consumer price index plus any applicable
margin) will be determined as shown on Schedule I to this letter.

               (iv) It is anticipated that as the result of the sale of the
Stage I Hotels, the amount of annual taxes on the Stage I Hotels may increase or
decrease from the annual taxes assumed in the lease model used to develop
Schedule I to this letter). The annual taxes assumed in the lease model are
reflected on Schedule II to this letter. This one-time increase or decrease from
assumed taxes as the result of the sale of the Stage I Hotels will occur in 1996
or 1997, depending on the schedule followed by each taxing authority. When the
amount of such one-time increase or decrease in annual taxes is determined for a
particular Stage I Hotel, either (A) the annual base rent will be adjusted
downwards by the amount of such decrease in annual taxes, or (B) additional rent
equal to the amount of such increase in annual taxes will begin to be payable;
provided, however, the arithmetic sum of the downward adjustments in base rent
pursuant to clause (A) plus the additional rent pursuant to clause (B),
expressed in each case on an annualized basis, will not exceed an aggregate
annual amount of $150,000, such limitation to be applied among the Stage I
Hotels at which additional rent may be payable in a reasonable manner to be
agreed to before the Contracts of Sale are signed. For example, if at two of the
hotels there are downward adjustments in base rent of $25,000 and $50,000 per
annum and if at the other three hotels, additional rent begins to accrue at the
rate of $125,000, $75,000, and $50,000 per annum, the arithmetic sum is
$175,000, resulting in the application of such $150,000 aggregate limit to
additional rent payable at three hotels. Once additional rent begins, it will
continue to be payable throughout the remainder of the 10-year primary term of
the applicable Lease; but both the amount of the additional rent and the
$150,000 aggregate limitation will be adjusted annually once each goes into
effect to reflect increases in the consumer price index.

          (c) Patriot will fund a renovation budget for the Stage I Hotels,
which will not exceed an aggregate of $1,900,000 in the first Lease year unless
otherwise agreed by Patriot and Wyndham. The budgeted amount will be allocated
among the Stage I Hotels as determined by Patriot based on renovation needs.

          (d) The term of each Lease will expire in 10 years. Each Lease will
provide two 5-year extension options that may be exercised by Lessee at its sole
option if the performance standards in Paragraph 7(g) have been met for the
particular hotel at the time each option is exercised. Base rent in each
extension term will be adjusted upwards by (i) 10% of any capital expenditures
from sources other than the 4% capital reserve that have not previously been
included in the calculation of base rent, (ii) any budgeted increase in ad
valorem taxes and insurance premiums for the initial year of the extension term
over the amounts for each item previously included in the calculation of base
rent, and (iii) the amount by which 4% of budgeted gross revenue for the initial
year of the extension term exceeds the amount of the capital reserve previously
included in the calculation of base rent. Percentage rent during each extension
term will be calculated as provided during the 10-year primary term except that
any change in breakpoints from year to year will be computed based on changes in
the consumer price index without any additional marginal percentage. Additional
rent during each extension term will equal the amount by which ad valorem taxes
exceeds the amount of taxes included in base rent during that extension term. In
all other respects, the terms of the Leases will remain unchanged during any
extension term.

          (e) The Stage I Hotels will be operated and managed as "Wyndham" or
"Wyndham Garden" hotels for fees and on other terms reasonably satisfactory to
Patriot. The management agreements will be subordinated (i.e., both in terms of
termination and management fee payment as to base rent only to the Leases.

          (f) Nonpayment of rent or any other breach of one Lease will be a
breach of all other Leases (including any future leases between the Operating
Partnership and Lessee).

          (g) If in any year a hotel fails to achieve at least 90% of budgeted
annual room revenues, if the RevPAR yield index (RevPAR of the hotel as a
percentage of the RevPAR of the hotel's initial competitive set [to be mutually
agreed to] as reflected in Smith Travel Research reports) decreases by more than
10 percentage points from the initial RevPAR yield index, or if the ratio of
gross operating profit to gross revenues decreases by more than 5 percentage
points, Lessee will have until the end of the next year in which to achieve the
performance standards described above for such year. If a performance standard
is not achieved by the end of such year, the Operating Partnership may, as its
sole and exclusive remedy, terminate the Lease of the underperforming hotel
unless Lessee has taken appropriate actions to achieve the performance standards
and the inability to achieve the same is the result primarily of circumstances
outside the control of Lessee, including without limitation, general market
decline or new competition entering the market.

          (h) A Lease may be terminated if the hotel is sold during the term. If
such termination occurs during the initial 10-year term, Lessee will be entitled
to receive (i) reimbursement for reasonable and customary costs paid to parties
unaffiliated with Wyndham because of the termination, (ii) reimbursement for the
costs of relocation for any executive level employees of the hotel, including
reasonable relocation costs and costs of temporary housing (not to exceed 90
days), and (iii) the fair market value of the profits it would have derived from
the leasehold for the unexpired balance of the initial term either through a
cash payment or through a substitute lease at another hotel that can reasonably
be expected to provide equivalent profits. In computing fair market value for
this purpose, a 15% per annum discount rate will apply, and Lessee's profit will
be deemed to equal 75% of Lessee's leakage. For this purpose, "leakage" will be
computed in the manner reflected in the economic model prepared by Patriot from
which Schedule I to this letter was derived, which model in general terms
computes "leakage" as Lessee's net revenue from operation of a hotel after
payment of rent owing to the Operating Partnership and operating expenses of the
hotel other than management fees. The parties agree that 25% of Lessee's leakage
reasonably approximates the costs of leasing and management that would normally
be charged against leakage for computing profit. Lessee will responsible for
paying termination fees or charges, if any, payable under any hotel management
contract with Wyndham or its affiliates.

          (i) Based on the understanding that inventory and cash-on-hand (other
than reserves for FF&E and for taxes and insurance) will be included in the
purchase price, the Operating Partnership will provide to Lessee any inventory
and cash-on-hand received from the Sellers without reimbursement or additional
charge to Lessee. Cash reserves for FF&E, taxes, and insurance will remain the
property of Sellers. On termination or expiration of any Lease, the hotel must
include an equivalent inventory.
<PAGE>
 
Wyndham Hotels and Resorts

          (j) There will be no noncompetition provision that keeps Wyndham or
its affiliates (other than Lessee) from becoming lessees of hotels owned by
other real estate investment trusts.

8. Contract of Sale Terms. Patriot's subsidiary, PAH Acquisition Corporation
("Purchaser"), will enter into Contracts of Sale with the Sellers on the
following terms:

     (a) The purchase price will include the land on which the hotel is situated
and all improvements, fixtures, and tangible and intangible personal property
associated with a hotel (including inventory and cash-on-hand other than cash
reserves for FF&E, taxes, and insurance). Except as otherwise provided in
Paragraph 8(b), each hotel will be conveyed free and clear of all debt and
liens.

     (b) Prior to closing, the Seller of the Wyndham Greenspoint will have
received a $500,000 cash capital contribution, and at closing, a $500,000
portion of the purchase price for the Wyndham Greenspoint will be paid by the
issuance of units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership
("OP Units") to the Seller of the Wyndham Greenspoint. One OP Unit will be
deemed to have the same value as the average closing price of one share of
Patriot's common stock on the New York Stock Exchange for the five trading days
immediately preceding closing. If the parties agree before the Contract of Sale
is signed, the amount of such capital contribution and the corresponding amount
of OP Units may be increased. Accordingly, the following special provisions
apply to the Wyndham Greenspoint transaction:

          (i) The Wyndham Greenspoint will be conveyed to the Operating
Partnership at closing subject to debt that is immediately payable or prepayable
without premium or other charge in an amount of no more than $43,000,000. The
existing debt will immediately be retired by the Operating Partnership and
replaced by the debt required pursuant to Paragraph 8(b)(ii).

          (ii) As a condition to closing, the Operating Partnership must have
obtained and closed a loan in an amount of at least $22,000,000 that is without
recourse to any partner of the Operating Partnership and that is secured by the
Wyndham Greenspoint. The required loan may consist of a portion of the Patriot's
line of credit so long as (A) such portion of the line of credit is a
nonrecourse liability of the Operating Partnership for purposes of IRC ss.752
and Treasury Regulation ss.1.752-1(a)(2), (B) is secured only by the Wyndham
Greenspoint, and (C) is cross- defaulted with the entire line of credit;
provided, however, if default occurs with respect to such loan, the Operating
Partnership will cure the default or replace such loan with other nonrecourse
debt. All legal fees, loan fees, and other out-of-pocket costs and expenses of
providing such loan will be funded at closing by the Seller of the Wyndham
Greenspoint.

          (iii) The Operating Partnership will agree that as of the end of each
calendar year through 1999, it will have debt meeting the criteria in Paragraph
8(b)(ii). The Operating Partnership will agree not to dispose of the Wyndham
Greenspoint during any calendar year through 1999, unless (A) such disposition
is structured as a tax-free like-kind exchange under Section 1031 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (which exchange will not include any cash
consideration in excess of that necessary to defray usual and customary legal
and closing costs and expenses incurred by the Operating Partnership in
connection with such exchange), and (B) the replacement property received is
encumbered as of the end of each calendar year through 1999 by debt meeting the
criteria in Paragraph 8(b)(ii). The Operating Partnership will elect to 
<PAGE>
 
Wyndham Hotels and Resorts

Page 7

use the so-called "remedial method" for computing allocations of income, gain,
loss, and deductions attributable to the Wyndham Greenspoint as set forth in
Treasury Regulation ss.1.704-3(d).

          (iv) The Operating Partnership must receive appropriate evidence and
assurances that OP Units may be issued to the Seller of the Wyndham Greenspoint
at closing without registration under Federal or state securities laws. The
Operating Partnership will permit the OP Units issued to the Seller of the
Wyndham Greenspoint to be distributed to partners of the Seller after closing if
all legal and contractual conditions and requirements of the Operating
Partnership with respect to such distribution have been satisfied. The limited
partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership provides that on certain
terms and conditions after the expiration of a one- year holding period from
issuance, holders of OP Units will have the option to redeem OP Units for cash,
or at Patriot's sole option, for common stock issued by Patriot. If Patriot
elects to issue common stock in redemption of OP Units, the stock will not be
registered. Patriot will, however, enter into a registration rights agreement on
its standard form providing that subject to any limitations that may be imposed
by Patriot's underwriters, such stock may be included in any subsequent
registration statement that Patriot otherwise elects to put into effect. All
legal fees and other direct expenses of Patriot or the Operating Partnership in
issuing OP Units to the Seller of the Wyndham Greenspoint will be funded at
closing by the Seller of the Wyndham Greenspoint.

          THIS IS NOT AN OFFER TO SELL OP UNITS. ANY SUCH OFFER WILL BE MADE, IF
          AT ALL, ONLY AFTER RECEIPT OF APPROPRIATE CERTIFICATIONS ABOUT EACH
          SELLER'S STATUS AS AN ACCREDITED INVESTOR AND AFTER APPROPRIATE
          DISCLOSURE OF CONDITIONS AND RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OP UNITS. NO
          REPRESENTATION IS MADE ABOUT THE TAX, LEGAL, OR ECONOMIC CONSEQUENCES
          OF THE ACQUISITION, OWNERSHIP, OR DISPOSITION OF OP UNITS, AS TO WHICH
          ANYONE CONSIDERING OWNING OP UNITS IS ENCOURAGED TO CONSULT ITS OWN
          INDEPENDENT ADVISORS.

          (v) Neither Patriot, the Operating Partnership, nor any other
affiliate of Patriot will make any warranty or representation with respect to
the tax treatment desired to be achieved by the Seller of the Wyndham
Greenspoint or any of its partners, and will require appropriate releases from
such Seller and its partners.

          (vi) Before the Contract of Sale for the Wyndham Greenspoint is
signed, the Seller of the Wyndham Greenspoint will furnish to the Operating
Partnership any information about itself and its partners that is reasonably
necessary to evaluate and implement the tax structure of the transaction
envisioned by these special provisions. When such Contract of Sale is signed,
the Operating Partnership and the Seller of the Wyndham Greenspoint will also
enter into mutually satisfactory written agreements intended to effectuate these
special provisions.

     (c) Once the Sellers and Purchaser enter into the Contracts of Sale,
Purchaser will deposit in escrow with Commonwealth Land Title Insurance Company,
717 North Harwood, Suite 2610, Dallas, Texas, demand notes executed by Patriot
to the order of the Sellers in the aggregate principal sum of $750,000. If the
Contracts of Sale are not terminated by Purchaser, then at the end of the
Inspection Period the demand notes will be replaced with an equal amount of
cash, and the demand notes will be cancelled and returned to Purchaser. If a
closing fails to occur solely as the result of an uncured default by Purchaser
under a Contract of Sale, the Seller will be entitled to the cash on deposit as
its sole and exclusive remedy. If a closing fails to occur 
<PAGE>
 
Wyndham Hotels and Resorts
April 10, 1996
Page 8

for any other reason, the cash on deposit will be returned to Purchaser, who
will thereafter have no further liability to that Seller, Wyndham, or any
affiliate of Wyndham in connection with that Contract of Sale (except for
liabilities, such as property inspection indemnities, that are expressly to
survive in such event). If an uncured default by any Seller occurs under a
Contract of Sale at or before closing, Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedies
will be (i) either to terminate the Contract of Sale or specifically enforce the
Contract of Sale, and (ii) in the case of termination, to recover out-of-pocket
costs and expenses (including legal fees and disbursements) relating to the
transactions contemplated by this letter of intent up to, but not in excess of
$750,000 in the aggregate; provided, however, such limitation will not apply to
legal fees and disbursements incurred in Purchaser's enforcing its remedies
under the Contracts of Sale, which will be recoverable either in the event of
termination or in the event Purchaser enforces specific performance.

     (d) Purchaser's obligation to purchase the Stage I Hotels will be
contingent on its inspection and discretionary approval of (i) the structural,
mechanical, and environmental condition of the hotels, (ii) financial and
operating records, leases, contracts, licenses, permits, and other information
pertaining to the hotels or their operation, (iii) the status of title, and (iv)
all other matters that Purchaser considers relevant. Purchaser will have 45 days
after the date on which the Contracts of Sale are signed (the "Inspection
Period") to complete its inspections and to elect whether to terminate the
Contracts of Sale. If Purchaser elects to terminate a Contract of Sale, the
escrowed demand note under that Contract of Sale will be returned to Purchaser,
and none of the parties to that Contract of Sale will have any further liability
to the other parties or to Wyndham or any affiliate of Wyndham in connection
with that Contract of Sale (except for liabilities, such as property inspection
indemnities, that are expressly to survive such termination). During the
Inspection Period, an accounting firm selected by Purchaser may conduct audits
of the Stage I Hotels at Purchaser's expense. The Sellers will make necessary
books and records available to the auditors, and will cooperate as reasonably
necessary to complete the audits before the end of the Inspection Period.

     (e) Closing will occur no later than 15 days after the end of the
Inspection Period. Purchaser will have the unrestricted right to assign the
Contracts of Sale to the Operating Partnership or other affiliates of Patriot.
Before the Contacts of Sale for the Stage I Hotels are signed, Purchaser and the
Sellers will agree on conditions addressing the interdependence of the closings
among the separate Contracts of Sale, which must include the condition that
unless closing occurs under the Contract of Sale for the Wyndham Greenspoint,
Purchaser will not be obligated to close under any other Contract of Sale for
any other Stage I Hotel.

     (f) At their expense, the Sellers will furnish commitments for title
insurance (including any necessary abstracts or title opinions), copies of all
title exceptions, uniform commercial code filing searches, current certified
as-built surveys acceptable to Purchaser, and ALTA owner policies of title
insurance issued by Commonwealth Land Title Insurance Company in the amount of
the purchase price. The owner policies of title insurance must insure title
subject only to those matters approved by Purchaser in its review of title and
must include endorsements and deletions typically required by institutional real
property investors.

     (g) Ad valorem taxes, occupancy rents, operating expenses, revenues, and
the like will be prorated as of the closing date. All state, county, and local
transfer taxes will be paid by the 
<PAGE>
 
Wyndham Hotels and Resorts
April 10, 1996
Page 9


Sellers, if that is generally the custom in the states where such taxes apply,
and all other recording fees, escrow charges, and other similar closing costs
will be allocated between the Sellers and Purchaser in the manner customary for
transactions of this nature in Wyndham Hotels and Resorts April 10, 1996 Page 4
the states where the hotels are located. Each party will pay the fees and
expenses of the attorneys, accountants, and other consultants that it employs.

     (h) The Sellers will pay all brokerage and other similar commissions and
fees, if any, relating to the sale of the Stage I Hotels. Each of Patriot,
Wyndham, and the Sellers represents and warrants that it has not contracted with
any broker or agent to whom a fee or commission would be payable in connection
with the transactions contemplated by this letter of intent.

9. Negotiation Period. Patriot and Wyndham will attempt in good faith to cause
binding Contracts of Sale and Leases for the Phase I Hotels to be negotiated and
signed before May 15, 1996. Before then neither Wyndham nor any of the Sellers
or other affiliates of Wyndham will solicit, make, negotiate, or accept any
other offer to purchase any of the Stage I Hotels.

10. Confidentiality. The terms of this letter of intent and any nonpublic
information furnished by one party to the other must be kept confidential.
Except as may be required by law or as determined to be necessary or appropriate
by Patriot or Wyndham to satisfy disclosure and reporting obligations of Patriot
or Wyndham or their respective affiliates, confidential information may not be
disclosed by one party without the other's prior written consent except to (a)
officers, directors, employees, and partners of Wyndham, the Sellers, Patriot,
or affiliates of Patriot, (b) Patriot's line of credit lender, and (c)
employees, agents, and representatives of the foregoing.

11. Letter of Intent. None of the Sellers, Wyndham, or Patriot or any of its
affiliates will have any obligation to buy, sell, or lease any of the Stage I
Hotels or any other hotel referred to in this letter of intent unless and until
binding Contracts of Sale and Leases are fully executed by all appropriate
parties. Before entering into the Contracts of Sale, each of the Sellers must
have obtained all necessary consents and approvals from their respective
partners, and the execution of such agreements will not occur unless such
consents and approvals are obtained. Except for the provisions of Paragraphs 4,
9, and 10, neither Patriot nor any of its affiliates will have any liability or
obligation to the Sellers, Wyndham, or any affiliate of any of them by virtue of
this letter of intent or any reliance thereon; and subject to the same
exceptions, neither Wyndham nor any of its affiliates will have any liability or
obligation to Patriot or any affiliate of Patriot by virtue of this letter of
intent or any reliance thereon.

To reflect your agreement, please sign and return a copy of this letter to
Patriot at the address shown above no later than 5:00 p.m. on April 16, 1996,
failing which this offer will terminate at that time without further notice.

Sincerely,

PATRIOT AMERICAN HOSPITALITY, INC.

                      ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT

     THIS ASSIGNMENT is entered into as of the 20th of June, 1996, between
DOUBLETREE HOTELS CORPORATION, an Arizona corporation ("Assignor") and PATRIOT
AMERICAN HOSPITALITY PARTNERSHIP, L.P., a Virginia limited partnership
("Assignee").

     Assignor assigns and transfers to Assignee all right, title, and interest
of Assignor under that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of February
29, 1996, as amended on March 18, 1996, April 5, 1996, May 2, 1996, May 3, 1996,
May 24, 1996, May 28, 1996, and May 29, 1996 (collectively, the "Agreement"),
between Assignor, as buyer, and I and P Corporation Colorado ("Seller"), a
Colorado corporation, as seller, with respect to the property located in
Westminster, Adams County, Colorado, which is described on Exhibit A attached
hereto (the "Property"), together with Assignor's rights to the Deposit (as
defined in the Agreement) and the $10,000 Payment (as defined in the Agreement).
This Assignment is made without representation, warranty or recourse of any
kind, except that Assignor represents and warrants that it is the owner of all
of the purchaser's right, title and interest under the Agreement, that it has
not previously sold, transferred, pledged, mortgaged or hypothecated its right,
title, or interest under the Agreement, that the copy of the Agreement provided
by Assignor to Assignee is true and correct and has not been modified, amended,
or canceled, except as disclosed to Assignee in writing, that Assignor is not in
breach of the Agreement, that to the best of Assignor's knowledge, Seller is not
in breach of the Agreement, and that there has been no waiver of any of the
material terms, covenants or conditions of the Agreement by Assignor.

     Assignee assumes all obligations of Assignor which are to be performed
under the Agreement from and after the date of this Assignment and agrees to
indemnify, defend and hold harmless Assignor and its officers, directors, and
employees from and against all liabilities and losses arising thereunder with
respect to obligations to be performed from and after the date of this
Assignment.

     Assignee shall pay to Assignor at the closing of the conveyance of the
Property to Assignee the sum of $240,000.00 plus interest from February 29,
1996, through the date of payment at the rate of interest which said sum is
earning in the interest-bearing account in which Escrow Agent (as defined in the
Agreement) deposited said sum pursuant to the Agreement (the "Deposit
Reimbursement") plus the sum of Eighty-Six Thousand Dollars ($86,000), in
reimbursement to Assignor for the legal fees and expenses, environmental
consultant fees, architectural and engineering fees, and other out of pocket
expenses incurred by Assignor in connection with its negotiation of the
Agreement and due diligence analysis of the Property (the "Due Diligence Fee"),
together with the sum of $10,000, representing reimbursement of the
non-refundable $10,000 Payment (as defined in section 3 of the Agreement). If
the conveyance does not close [for any reason], Assignee shall pay the Deposit
Reimbursement to Assignor on or before August 1, 1996, but shall have no
obligation to pay the $86,000 Due Diligence Fee or the $10,000 Payment unless
the failure to close is due to a default by Assignee under the Agreement, in
which event Assignee shall also pay the $86,000 Due Diligence Fee on or before
August 1, 1996.
<PAGE>
 
     Assignor assigns to Assignee all rights of Assignor to the $10,000 Payment
and the Deposit, as those terms are defined in Section 3 of the Agreement and
authorizes Escrow Agent to pay the Deposit and Seller to pay the $10,000 Payment
to or for the benefit of Assignee as permitted by the Agreement to the same
extent as if Assignee were the original purchaser under the Agreement.

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Agreement or this
Amendment, Assignee, not Assignor, will be solely responsible for any sums, not
to exceed $200,000, to be paid or refunded to Seller under paragraph 6 of the
Seventh Amendment to Purchase and Sale Agreement dated May 29, 1996, between
Seller and Assignor.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Assignor and Assignee have caused this Assignment to be
duly executed and delivered on the day and year first written above.

Patriot American Hospitality, Inc.
3030 LBJ Freeway, Suite 1500
Dallas, Texas 75234
     Attention: Paul A. Nussbaum,
     Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Gentlemen:

       Reference is made to: (i) the Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of
October 2, 1995 (the "Revolving Credit Agreement"), among Patriot American
Hospitality, L.P., PA Troy Hospitality Investors, L.P., Bourbon Orleans
Investors, L.P., 1500 Canal Street Investors, L.P., PAH GP, Inc. and Patriot
American Hospitality, Inc. (collectively, the "Original Borrowers") and Paine
Webber Real Estate Securities Inc. (the "Lender"), and (ii) the Master Amendment
to Mortgage Loan Documents, dated as of April 1, 1996 (the "First Master
Amendment"), among the Original Borrowers and PA Hunt Valley Investors, L.P.
(collectively, the "Borrowers") and the Lender. Unless the context otherwise
requires, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the respective meanings
set forth herein, in the Revolving Credit Agreement or in the First Master
Amendment.

       The Borrowers and the Lender hereby agree as follows:

       2.   The Loan Increase Amendments are hereby modified as follows:

      (a)   In the third line of Section l(x) of the First Master Amendment, the
            number "2.50" shall be deleted and the number "2.10" shall be
            substituted therefor.

      (b)   In the third line of Section l(y) of the First Master Amendment, the
            number "2.25" shall be deleted and the number "1.85" shall be
            substituted therefor.
<PAGE>
 
      (c)   The Revolving Credit Agreement is further amended as follows (and
            such amendments shall be deemed to be part of the Loan Increase
            Amendments):

            (i)   In the third line of the definition of "NOI Borrowing Amount",
                  the number "2.75" shall be deleted and the number "2.10" shall
                  be substituted therefor.

            (ii)  In the third line of the text of Section 7.2(a), the number
                  "2.50" shall be deleted and the number "1.85" shall be
                  substituted therefor.

            (iii) In the seventh line and continuing into the eighth line of the
                  definition of "Implied Debt Service Rate", the words "eleven
                  and one-half percent (11-1/2%)" shall be deleted and the words
                  "eleven and thirty three one hundredths percent (11.33%)"
                  shall be substituted therefor.

       3. The Lender hereby consents to the Loan Increase Amendments as modified
pursuant to Paragraphs 1 and 3 hereof, and the Borrowers and the Lender hereby
agree that the Loan Increase Effective Date shall occur on the date on which the
Borrowers have executed and delivered this agreement and the Initial Transaction
Fee (as hereinafter defined) has been paid to Lender.

       4. In consideration hereof and as a condition precedent to the Borrowers'
ability to incur Revolving Credit Loans which, when added to the outstanding
principal balance of Revolving Credit Loans, cause such outstanding principal
balance to exceed $165,000,000, the Borrowers shall pay to the Lender upon
execution and delivery of this agreement a fee (the "Initial Transaction Fee")
in the amount of $350,000. As a condition precedent to the Borrowers' ability to
incur Revolving Credit Loans which, when added to the outstanding principal
balance of Revolving Credit Loans, cause such outstanding principal balance to
exceed $200,000,000, the Borrowers shall pay to the Lender an additional fee
(the "Additional Transaction Fee") in the amount of $500,000; provided, however,
                                                              --------  -------
that if the Borrowers have not paid the Additional Transaction Fee to the Lender
on or before November 30, 1996, the maximum principal amount of the Loan shall
irrevocably reduce to $200,000,000 on November 30, 1996. In addition, the
Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by the Lender in connection herewith.

<PAGE>
 

       5. Each of the Borrowers agrees to execute and deliver, or cause to be
executed and delivered, to the Lender all other instruments, certificates,
agreements, consents and opinions, and to take, or cause to be taken, such other
actions, in each case as the Lender may reasonably require in order better to
evidence and confirm the terms of this agreement. In furtherance of the
foregoing, each of the Borrowers agrees (i) to execute and deliver, or cause to
be executed and delivered, to the Lender any amendments or modifications to the
Revolving Credit Agreement or the other Mortgage Loan Documents, (ii) to deliver
to the Lender such amendments and/or endorsements to the Title Insurance Policy
with respect to each Collateral Property located in a state or commonwealth
other than Texas, and (iii) to deliver to the Lender legal opinions with respect
to any amendments or other agreements executed pursuant to this paragraph, in
each case to the extent the Lender deems the same to be reasonably necessary
better to evidence and confirm the terms of this agreement. In connection with
the foregoing, the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay, or provide for
to the satisfaction of Lender, the payment of all costs and expenses in
connection therewith, including, without limitation, all recordation and filing
fees, taxes, title insurance premiums and reasonable attorney's fees and
expenses.

       6. This agreement is limited as specified and other than the specific
modifications contained herein shall not constitute an amendment, modification
or waiver of, or otherwise affect in any way, any other provisions of the
Revolving Credit Agreement, the First Master Amendment, the Note, the Mortgages
or the other Mortgage Loan Documents. As modified hereby, each of the Revolving
Credit Agreement, the First Master Amendment, the Note, the Mortgages and the
other Mortgage Loan Documents are ratified, affirmed, reaffirmed and confirmed
in all respects.

       7. This agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by
the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so
executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together
constitute one and the same instrument.

       8. This agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of New York, including, without limitation, Section 5-1401
of the General Obligations Law, but otherwise without regard to conflict of law
principles; provided, however, to the extent this letter agreement modifies a
term or provision of a Mortgage Loan Document which by its terms is governed in
whole or in part by the laws of another jurisdiction, such term or provision to
the extent amended hereby shall be governed by an construed in accordance with
the laws of such jurisdiction.
<PAGE>
 
       If you are in agreement with the foregoing, please cause the enclosed
copy of this agreement to be signed by all of the Borrowers and returned to us.


                                   Very truly yours,

                                   PAINE WEBBER REAL ESTATE
