         Section 1.  Specific Amendment to Assignment. The Assignment is amended
                     --------------------------------
by deleting Section 5 thereof in its entirety and substituting in lieu thereof
the following:

                 "5. FF&E Account. Notwithstanding any provision of the
                     ------------
         Management Agreement to the contrary, including without limitation, any
         of the provisions of Section 7.02 thereof, the following terms shall
         apply with respect to the matters described:

                       (a)   Operator shall maintain all of the Hotels' FF&E
                 Reserves in the FF&E Account (as defined in the Cash Collateral
                 Agreement dated as of the date hereof between Owner and Lender
                 (as amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from
                 time to time, the "Cash Collateral Agreement")). Even

 
                  though the FF&E Account is a single account, Operator shall
                  maintain books and records with respect to each Hotel's FF&E
                  Reserve as if it were held in a separate escrow reserve
                  account. Except for the purposes described below in the
                  following subsection (b), any reference in the Management
                  Agreement to a Hotel's particular FF&E Reserve shall be deemed
                  to be a reference to the amount of the FF&E Account allocable
                  to such Hotel as provided in such books and records. Owner and
                  Operator shall not commingle funds on deposit in the FF&E
                  Account with any other funds of Owner, Operator or any other
                  person, and accordingly, neither Owner nor Operator shall
                  deposit into the FF&E Account any funds other than funds to be
                  deposited therein under Section 7.02 of the Management
                  Agreement or funds which may be deposited therein as provided
                  in the Cash Collateral Agreement. Any interest or other
                  earnings on funds deposited into the FF&E Account shall be
                  retained in the FF&E Account. Only Lender shall have authority
                  to withdraw funds from the FF&E Account. Operator may request
                  Lender to disburse funds on deposit in the FF&E Account in
                  accordance with Section 5 of the Cash Collateral Agreement.
                  The Lender shall make the amount of any such disbursement
                  permitted under the Cash Collateral Agreement available to
                  Operator within three Business Days of receipt by Lender of
                  the appropriate request. If at any time under the Management
                  Agreement or any other Loan Document, any funds on deposit in
                  the FF&E Account are to be transferred to Owner (other than
                  transfers to Owner to cover the costs of FF&E Replacements for
                  Hotels), then, if no Event of Default shall be in existence,
                  such funds shall instead be delivered to Lender to be held in
                  trust for the benefit of the Hotels, but if an Event of
                  Default shall be in existence, such funds shall instead be
                  delivered to Lender for application to the Loan Obligations
                  unless Lender is required to use such funds under Section 8 of
                  the Cash Collateral Agreement to establish the account
                  described therein. Operator agrees that it will use the funds
                  on deposit in the FF&E Account only to cover the costs of FF&E
                  Replacements for Hotels and for no other purposes.

                          (b) For purposes of this Assignment and the Management
                  Agreement, upon any sale, foreclosure or other transfer of any
                  Hotel, the amount of the FF&E Account allocable to such Hotel
                  shall be equal to (i) the balance of the FF&E Account
                  allocable to such Hotel as of the date hereof as set forth in
                  Schedule II attached hereto plus (ii) the amount of
                  contributions to the FF&E Account made subsequent to the date
                  hereof pursuant to Section 7.02 of the Management Agreement,
                  as modified by Section 9 hereof minus (iii) the amount of
                  expenditures made from the FF&E Account subsequent to the date
                  hereof for such Hotel.

                          (c) Any funds on deposit in the FF&E Account may be
                  used to cover the cost of FF&E Replacements for any Hotel.

                          (d) Operator shall state on each interim accounting
                  described in Section 5.05A of the Management Agreement (i) the
                  respective amounts required to be deposited by Operator into
                  the FF&E Account with respect to each Hotel for

                  hereof or Section 7.02B of the Management Agreement, as
                  applicable; (ii) the amount expended on FF&E Replacements with
                  respect to each Hotel during such Accounting Period; and (iii)
                  if for such Accounting Period, the sum of the amounts
                  described in clause (i) exceeds the sum of the amounts
                  described in clause (ii), that Operator has deposited into the
                  FF&E Account the amount of such excess.

                          (e) Provided Lender acts in accordance with Section 5
                  of this Agreement, each of Owner and Operator jointly and
                  severally agrees to indemnify and hold Lender harmless. Each
                  of Owner and Operator jointly and severally agrees to
                  indemnify Lender from and against any and all liabilities,
                  obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
                  suits, costs, expenses, or disbursements of any kind or nature
                  whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
                  against Lender in any way relating to or arising out of
                  withdrawals from the FF&E Account in the manner described in
                  this Section, or any action taken or omitted by Lender in
                  conformity with this Section (including, without limitation,
                  reasonable attorney's fees). The effectiveness of this
