           circumstance or condition which, with the giving of notice or passage

           breach or default, nor any circumstance or condition which, with the
           giving of notice or passage of time, or both, would constitute a
           breach or default, by the holder of the Seller's interest under the

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

             (a) Not later than January 3, 1997, Borrower shall establish
     (pursuant to an agreement substantially in the form submitted to Borrower
     by Lender on the date of the execution of the Modification) with Lender, or
     if Lender is not a depository institution or if Lender shall otherwise
     elect, a depository institution designated by Lender, as a separate
     account, an account ("DSLR Account") to serve as a debt service liquidity
                           ------------
     reserve into which all Excess Cash Flow shall be deposited in

                                     -10-

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

        (b) On the twenty-first day following the end of each Accounting Period,
after the payment of (or provision for) the interest payment due and payable
under the Notes on the Interest Payment Date (as defined in the Notes) occurring
immediately after the end of such Accounting Period, Borrower administrative

Lender and required Golf Course ground lease rental payments accruing during

                                               --------------------
Deductions"), Borrower shall deposit directly into the DSLR Account the excess
- ----------
of the Operating Profit for such Accounting Period over the sum of such interest
payment and Permitted Additional Deductions. For purposes of the foregoing
sentence, if Borrower prepays the Loans in accordance with and to the extent
permitted by Section 4(b)(ii) of the Notes, then the debt service payments on
the refinancing described in said Section 4(b)(ii) made by Host Marriott or an
affiliate thereof or Marriott International or an affiliate thereof in an amount
equal to the lesser of the actual debt service on such loan or the amount of
debt service which would otherwise have been payable on such prepaid principal
and interest under the Loans shall be included in "Permitted Additional
Deductions".

        (c) The amounts deposited in the DSLR in respect of any Accounting
Period, together with all earnings and interest thereon, shall be retained
therein and following notice to Borrower, released only in accordance with the
following:

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

                                     -11-

 
provided that if any Event of Default or Potential Default shall exist, Lender
- --------
shall have the right to apply monies in the DSLR Account in such order and to
such items as it may elect; provided that if there is no monetary Event of
                            --------
Default and no default by the Operating Tenant under the Operating Lease beyond
the expiration of any applicable notice and grace period, Lender shall disburse
to the Operating Tenant from the DSLR Account the amount owed to the Operating
Tenant for its incentive management fee, such disbursement to be made at the
same time, and on the same terms and conditions as would be applicable to the
Borrower's payment of such fee under the terms of Annex B and the Operating
Lease. The insufficiency of amounts in the DSLR Account shall not relieve
Borrower from its obligation to fulfill each of its covenants in the Loan
Documents.

      (ii) If there shall occur an Event of Default, then the amounts in the
DSLR Account shall not be made available to Borrower (or to the Operating
Tenant) and instead may be held, used and applied by Lender in its sole and
absolute discretion to the payment of any other amounts that may be due and
payable (or that may thereafter become due and payable) under the Loan; provided
                                                                        --------
that if there is no monetary Event of Default and no default by the Operating
Tenant under the Operating Lease beyond the expiration of any applicable notice
and grace period, Lender shall disburse to the Operating Tenant from the DSLR
Account the amount owed to the Operating Tenant for its incentive management
fee, such disbursement to be made at the same time, and on the same terms and
conditions as would be applicable to the Borrower's payment of such fee under
the terms of Annex B and the Operating Lease.

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

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

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

                                     -12-

 
             Year 12.5" thereof (all terms in this parenthetical as defined in
             the GSMC Long-Term Financing Commitment); and

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

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

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

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

     or interest of Borrower, except to the extent, if at all, expressly
     permitted under Section 6.3 of the Loan Agreement.

                  ratifying the provisions of Section 4(b) of the Security
                  Agreement, Borrower hereby confirms to Lender (i) that

     Existing Notes as an accommodation to Borrower and that the Lender named
     herein (and its successors and assigns) shall under no circumstances have
     any liability or obligation to the Borrower whatsoever as a result of or in
     connection with any action or inaction taken or omitted by or on behalf of
     any of the Existing Lenders or the Existing Agent under or in connection
     with the Loan Documents.

72.  All of the terms and provisions of the Existing Loan Documents (including,
     without limitation, the Existing Security Agreement and the Existing
     Borrower Environmental Indemnity), as modified and amended by the
     Modification Documents, are hereby ratified and confirmed by Borrower as of
     the date hereof to be in full force and effect in all respects. Borrower
     hereby represents and warrants that as of the date of the execution and
     delivery of this Modification: (i) other than the fact that the Existing
     Notes have matured, there exists no default or events which, with the
     giving of notice or passage of time, or both, would constitute a default
     under the Notes, the Loan Agreement, the Deed of Trust or any other Loan
     Document and (ii) Borrower has no offsets, defenses, counterclaims, setoffs
     or similar rights with respect to its obligations of payment and
     performance under the Notes, the Loan Agreement, the Deed of Trust or any

     contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect
     of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior
     agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written, between
     Borrower and Lender, in each case with respect to the subject matter
     hereof, are superseded by the terms of this Modification and the other Loan
     Documents.

     of their respective affiliates which they control) through any media
     intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or
     the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Borrower, Lender or
     Goldman Sachs Mortgage Company (or any of their respective affiliates)
     shall be subject to the prior written approval of Borrower, Lender or
     Goldman Sachs Mortgage Company, as applicable.

74.  This Modification shall in all respects be governed by, and be construed
     and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

75.  This Modification may be executed and delivered in counterparts, and

     any provision of this Modification, or any Loan Document, nor consent to
     any departure

                                      -20-

 
     by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same
     shall be in a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is
     sought, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the
     specific instance, and for the purpose, for which given.

77.  For the purpose of confirming the applicability of New York law, Borrower
     hereby confirms its covenant to perform and comply with each of the
     following sections of the Deed of Trust: 1.01 through 1.13, 1.15, 1.16

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

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

                                    ANNEX A

                 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES RE GROUND LEASE

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

                                      -23-

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

           (viii) a Leasehold Mortgagee is permitted at least 30 days to cure
     any default under the Golf Course Lease which is curable after the receipt

equal to a portion of such excess amount attributable to the term of the Loans,
pro-rated based upon the following cumulative percentages (limited to 100%)
applicable at the time the Loans (or a portion thereof) are paid or prepaid. If
the Loans (or a portion thereof) are paid or prepaid during a period, it will be
assumed for the purposes of calculating the Incentive Payment that such payment
or prepayment is made on the last day of such period. The Incentive Payment
shall be calculated as follows:
