ALLSTAR INNS INC. By: Edward J. Gallagher Edward J. Gallagher Vice Chairman - Principal Accounting Officer Dated: February 11, 1997 Release and Indemnity Agreement This Release and Indemnity Agreement ("Agreement") is made this ___ day of January, 1997, by Motel 6 Operating L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Motel 6"), IBL Limited, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("IBL"), Motel 6 G.P., Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Motel 6 G.P."), C 7, Inc., a Texas corporation ("C7") and Glasjar Funding Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership ("Glasjar"), in favor of Allstar Inns Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Allstar"), with reference to the following facts: R E C I T A L S A.Motel 6, IBL and Motel 6 G.P., jointly, severally and collectively (hereinafter referred to as the "Motel 6 Companies"), are the Lessee under that certain Master Lease Agreement dated as of January 1, 1995 ("Master Lease"), under which Allstar is Lessor. The Master Lease is attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A. Since January 1, 1995, the Motel 6 Companies have leased from Allstar seventy-one "Motels", as defined in, and pursuant to, the Master Lease. Prior to January 1, 1995, the Motel 6 Companies operated the Motels pursuant to a certain Management Contract defined in the Master Lease. B.In Section 33 of the Master Lease, Allstar granted the Motel 6 Companies an option to purchase the "Motel Assets" (as defined in the Master Lease"). On January 27, 1997, the Motel 6 Companies exercised the option. In connection with its exercise of the option, the Motel 6 Companies asked Allstar to convey to Glasjar and/or C7 title to such of the Motel Assets as Motel 6 shall designate, rather than to the Motel 6 Companies, as an accommodation to the Motel 6 Companies' financial arrangements with Glasjar. The Master Lease does not require such an accommodation. C.Allstar has agreed as an accommodation to the Motel 6 Companies to convey title to certain Motel Assets (to be designated by Motel 6) to Glasjar and/or C7, with the remainder of the Motel Assets to be conveyed to Motel 6, provided that the Motel 6 Companies, C7 and Glasjar execute and deliver this Agreement. D.The Motel 6 Companies, Glasjar, C7 and Allstar are willing to execute and deliver this Agreement. Now, therefore, in consideration of the facts recited above, to induce Allstar to agree to convey to Glasjar and C7 title to such of the Motel Assets as Motel 6 shall designate, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Motel 6 Companies, C7 and Glasjar covenant and agree as follows: 1.Recitals. The recitals to this Agreement are an integral part of this Agreement. 2.Conveyances "As Is". Glasjar, C7 and the Motel 6 Companies acknowledge that the Motel 6 Companies operated the Motels under the Management Contract prior to the commencement of the Master Lease, and since the commencement of the Master Lease, the Motel 6 Companies have operated and leased the Motels under the Master Lease. Accordingly, Glasjar, C7 and the Motel 6 Companies have had ample opportunity to make a complete inspection of the Motel Assets and all files and information provided to or obtained by the Motel 6 Companies with respect to the Motel Assets. Glasjar, C7 and the Motel 6 Companies have also had ample opportunity to review all documents and information which the Motel 6 Companies, C7 and Glasjar deem material to the purchase of the Motel Assets. The Motel 6 Companies, C7 and Glasjar further acknowledge, represent and warrant that Allstar has had no business relationship nor any prior dealings with Glasjar and C7 and that Glasjar and C7 have dealt solely with the Motel 6 Companies. Glasjar and C7 recognize, agree and acknowledge that due to their relationship with the Motel 6 Companies, Glasjar and C7 shall be deemed to have knowledge of all matters concerning the Motel Assets that any of the Motel 6 Companies have, including any and all matters disclosed at any time by Allstar to any of the Motel 6 Companies. The Motel 6 Companies, C7 and Glasjar agree and acknowledge that Allstar has made no representations or warranties, express or implied, regarding the Motel Assets or any matters affecting the Motel Assets, including, without limitation, the condition of title to any of the Motel Assets (except only as set forth in the Deeds pursuant to which the Motels are being conveyed to Motel 6, C7 and/or Glasjar), the physical condition of the Motels, or their suitability or fitness for any particular purpose; the existence of any patent or latent defects or conditions therein, pest control matters, soil conditions, Hazardous or Toxic Materials, hazardous waste, toxic substance or other environmental matters; compliance with building, health, safety, land use and zoning laws, regulations and orders, structural and other engineering characteristics, and traffic patterns. Because Motel 6 operates and leases the Motel Assets pursuant to the Master Lease, Allstar is not in a position to and shall not be responsible for and makes no representations or warranties about the accuracy or completeness of any documents or information concerning the Motel Assets obtained by the Motel 6 Companies, C7 or Glasjar from any source, including, without limitation, information contained in or disclosed by any surveys or environmental studies, whether prepared for Allstar, the Motel 6 Companies, C7 or Glasjar or by or for any other person. The Motel 6 Companies, C7 and Glasjar have not relied and shall not rely on Allstar in any manner whatsoever with respect to any such documents or information or anything else relating to the Motel Assets, except only as set forth in the Deeds pursuant to which the Motels are being conveyed to Motel 6, C7 and/or Glasjar. The Motel 6 Companies, C7 and Glasjar shall have no rights against Allstar as a consequence of any information or misinformation obtained, completeness or incompleteness of documents, inaccuracies in any information or documents, failure of any person to make any disclosure, or for any other reason pertaining to the Motel Assets. Allstar shall have no obligation to provide to, or make available to the Motel 6 Companies, C7 or Glasjar any documents or information, except as expressly required by the terms of the Master Lease. The Motel 6 Companies, C7 and Glasjar acknowledge and agree that they are purchasing the Motel Assets in their "AS IS" condition, WITH ALL FAULTS and defects, patent or latent, known and unknown. Glasjar, C7 and the Motel 6 Companies expressly assume all risk with respect to the Motel Assets, including without limitation the risks that adverse conditions may not have been revealed by the Motel 6 Companies', C7's or Glasjar's investigations. This Section 2 and the other terms of this Agreement shall not waive or alter any rights Glasjar or C7 may have against any of the Motel 6 Companies in any other agreement. 3.No Side Agreements or Representations. No person acting on behalf of Allstar is authorized to make, and by execution hereof, the Motel 6 Companies, C7 and Glasjar acknowledge that no person has made any representation, agreement, statement, warranty, guarantee or promise regarding the Motel Assets or the transaction contemplated herein or the zoning, construction, physical condition or other status of the Motel Assets. 4.Release. The Motel 6 Companies, C7 and Glasjar, each for itself and its Affiliates (as defined in the Master Lease), officers, directors, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, "Releasing Parties"), hereby release Allstar and its Affiliates, Associates (all as defined in the Master Lease), agents, officers, directors, employees, successors and assigns (collectively, "Released Persons") from and against any claim, cause of action, damage, expense, obligation, loss or liability held, suffered or incurred at any time in the past, present or future by any of the Releasing Parties in any way and at any time relating to or arising from the Motel Assets, including, without limitation, any claims relating to patent or latent defects within any of the Motel Assets, any claims of negligent misrepresentation or active or passive negligence on the part of any of the Released Persons, and any claims of non-disclosure of any material fact concerning the Motel Assets, any claims related to personal injury or property damage, or any condition on or in any of the Motel Assets, whether occurring or arising before or after the conveyance of title to Glasjar, C7 and/or the Motel 6 Companies, whether or not known or suspected by any of the Releasing Parties (collectively, "Released Claims"); and in connection with such release, specifically waive the provisions of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code and any similar law of any other state, territory or jurisdiction as they relate to this release, which Section 1542 provides: A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor. Initials of Motel 6 Companies Initials of Glasjar Initials of C7 This release by the Motel 6 Companies, C7 and Glasjar on behalf of themselves and the other Releasing Parties shall constitute a complete defense to any claim, cause of action, defense, contract, liability, indebtedness or obligation released pursuant to this release.
