-5-

Hudson Common Stock on NASDAQ for the five trading days immediately preceding
the Closing Date. If the Closing occurs, Purchaser will be entitled to a $50,000
credit against the Purchase Price (which $50,000 represents the deposit
previously paid by Purchaser to Sellers which had been forfeited).
2.3. The Purchase Price shall be allocated among Sellers in accordance
with Exhibit E hereto.
Section 3. FEASIBILITY PERIOD.
3.1. Purchaser commenced its due diligence investigation of the Premises
on the date of the term sheet executed by Sellers and Purchaser in connection
with the Premises. Purchaser shall have a period ending October 31, 1996 to
review the Inspection Items and to otherwise complete its due diligence
investigation and inspection of the Premises (the "Feasibility Period").
Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time prior to
the expiration of the Feasibility Period, by written notice to Sellers and
Escrow Agent (the "Termination Notice"), if Purchaser is dissatisfied with any
aspect of the Premises in Purchaser's sole discretion. If Purchaser shall
terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 3.1 on or before the last day
of the Feasibility Period, then Purchaser shall be entitled to a refund of the
Deposit. If Purchaser shall not have provided notice of termination of this
Agreement pursuant to this Section 3.1 during the Feasibility Period, then from
and after the Feasibility Period Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived its
right to terminate this Agreement as permitted under this Section 3.1 and to
accept the Premises in their present condition. After the Feasibility Period,
Purchaser's and Hudson's obligation to close the transactions contemplated
hereby shall be unconditional, the Deposit shall be non-refundable, and neither
Purchaser nor Hudson shall have any termination rights hereunder whatsoever
(provided that the foregoing shall not invalidate Purchaser's remedies for any
default by Sellers, as set forth in Section 8).
The term "Inspection Items" shall mean copies of the following documents,
to the extent same are in Sellers' possession (which shall mean, for all
purposes hereunder, to the extent same are located in the offices of SB Planning
and Management Services, 33rd Floor, Seven World Trade Center, New York, New
York), or, with respect to items (e) and (f) below, to the
-6-
extent same are either located at the Hotels or at the offices of American
General Hospitality, Inc., Sellers' manager for the Hotels ("Manager").
(a) any title policies, environmental reports and surveys of or with
respect to the Premises;
(b) the Contracts (including the Statesville Ground Lease and the
Franchise Agreements, as defined below);
(c) financial statements (the "Financial Statements") for the Hotels
prepared and certified by Sellers (including balance sheets, income
statements and statements of changes in financial condition) for
calendar years 1994 and 1995 for the first and second calendar
quarters of 1996, together with an itemized breakdown of room sales
per month, occupancy and ADR for such periods;
(d) audited financial statements (the "Audited Financials") prepared and
certified by the firm of Coopers & Lybrand, copies of which have
been provided to Purchaser;
(e) any guest registration records, operating permits, certificates of
occupancy, municipal approvals and other governmental permits and
copies of Contracts copies of which have not previously been
delivered to Purchaser, which in all such cases, are kept at the
Hotels; and
(f) any books and records of the operations of the Premises necessary to
confirm the accuracy of the Financial Statements and the Audited
Financials, which in all such cases are kept at the Hotels or at the
offices of Manager.
Within four (4) Business Days of Purchaser's request therefor, Sellers shall
make available for inspection at one or more of the Hotels or at their offices
in New York any Inspection Items described in clauses (e) and (f) above which
are located at Manager's offices.
Except for the representations and warranties set forth in Section 12.3
(to the extent applicable), Sellers make no representations or warranties as to
the accuracy or completeness of any of the foregoing Inspection Items or other
materials provided or made available to Purchaser, and
-7-
Purchaser's sole remedy for any such inaccuracy or lack of completeness shall be
to terminate this Agreement during the Feasibility Period.
3.2. (a) If Purchaser shall terminate this Agreement as permitted pursuant
to Section 3.1 on or before the last day of the Feasibility Period, then
Purchaser shall be entitled to a refund of the Deposit less $50,000, and Sellers
shall be entitled to immediate payment from Escrow Agent of such $50,000 portion
of the Deposit as option money and consideration for the Feasibility Period and
the opportunity to conduct due diligence on the Premises during the Feasibility
Period; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) Purchaser
certifies in the Termination Notice that (x) its termination of this Agreement
is based solely upon a material defect in or problem with the Premises which has
been uncovered by Purchaser and was either unknown to Purchaser prior to the
Date of this Agreement or the materiality or consequences of which were not
understood by Purchaser prior to the Date of this Agreement, and which is
described with specificity in the Termination Notice, and (y) that it has
obtained financing for this transaction and is not terminating this Agreement
because of an inability to obtain a commitment from a lender willing to finance
this transaction, and (ii) Sellers do not provide notice to Escrow Agent that
they wish to dispute the matters set forth in clause (i) of this sentence, then
such $50,000 portion of the Deposit shall be refunded by Escrow Agent to
Purchaser. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, the term
"material defect in or problem with the Premises" shall mean: (i) any defect or
problem with the Premises which prevents Purchaser from obtaining financing for
this transaction from prospective lenders; (ii) the failure of the franchisor of
the Premises currently operated as Fairfield Inns to execute and deliver to
Purchaser an estoppel and comfort letter in the form contemplated by this
Agreement; or (iii) the failure of the franchisor of the Premises currently
operated as Cricket Inns to execute and deliver to Purchaser an estoppel and
comfort letter in the form contemplated by this Agreement.
3.3. Whether or not Purchaser terminates this Agreement as permitted
pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof the non-refundable $50,000 fee paid by Purchaser
to Sellers on or about August 12, 1996, upon execution of the term sheet in
connection with this transaction, shall be non-refundable and fully earned by
Sellers, provided that if the Closing takes place, the non-refundable $50,000
fee shall be applied as a credit against the Purchase Price in accordance with
Section 2.2 hereof.
-8-
3.4. At least 15 days prior to the expiration of the Feasibility Period,
Sellers shall, after consultation with Purchaser, prepare and provide to
Purchaser a schedule setting forth all material damages to the Wilmington
Property and the Raleigh Property resulting from Hurricane Fran on or about
September 5, 1996, and corresponding cost estimates for their repair (such
schedule shall be referred to herein as the "Damage Schedule"). Sellers shall,
at their option, either (a) make any or all repairs with respect to the damage
represented in the Fran Damage Schedule prior to the Closing Date, or (b) credit
Purchaser at Closing with the cost of such repairs Bet forth on the Fran Damage
Schedule, to the extent such repairs have not been completed prior to the
Closing Date. In the event that Sellers elect to make any repairs with respect
to the damage represented in the Fran Damage Schedule pursuant to this Section
3.4, Sellers agree to provide Purchaser with copies of all documentation
relating to the same, including evidence of lien free completion, and to assign
all related warranties and guaranties to the extent assignable to Purchaser at
Closing.
3.5. During the Feasibility Period, Sellers shall use good faith efforts
(which shall not include the expenditure of any funds or the making of any
changes, alterations or improvements at any Premises or otherwise) to obtain
estoppel and comfort letters from the two franchisors under the franchise
agreements described in Exhibit B hereto (the "Franchise Agreements") in a form
reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser's prospective lender. A proposed form of
such estoppel and comfort letter shall be provided to Sellers by Purchaser
within 10 Business Days from the Date of this Agreement. Except as provided in
this Section 3.5, Purchaser shall pay any and all fees or other costs or
expenses incurred directly or indirectly in connection with such franchisors'
execution and delivery to Purchaser of such estoppel and comfort letters. If
Sellers fail to obtain such estoppel and comfort letters from such franchisors,
then Purchaser's sole remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement during the
Feasibility Period in accordance with Section 3.1 hereof and receive a full
refund of its Deposit. After the Feasibility Period Purchaser shall be deemed to
have waived the applicability of the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.5,
provided that, if the aforesaid estoppel certificates are obtained during the
Feasibility Period, Sellers shall, if so requested by Purchaser, in good faith
request of the relevant franchisors a second estoppel certificate (in the same
form as the first) dated as of a date within iS days of the Closing Date. Except
as provided above, Purchaser shall be responsible for obtaining any and all
consents or approvals required to be obtained from the franchisors under the
Franchise Agreements in connection with the sale of the Premises to
-9-
Purchaser and the assignment to and assumption by Purchaser of the Franchise
Agreements as contemplated hereby. Purchaser shall provide to Sellers evidence
of its having obtained any such required consents or approvals at or prior to
the expiration of the Feasibility Period. The transfer fees provided for in
Section 3 of Addendum Two to each of the Franchise Agreements applicable to the
Fairfield Inn Properties (the "Fairfield Franchise Agreements"), which are
required to be paid under the Franchise Agreements in connection with the
assignment and assumption of the Franchise Agreements or the sale of Premises
pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid by Sellers to the relevant
franchisor(s) at or prior to the Closing (the "Addendum Two Transfer Fee"), and
any other transfer fees, costs and expenses, if any, required to be paid under
the Franchise Agreements in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby
shall be paid by Purchaser to the relevant franchisor(s) at or prior to the
Closing. Sellers shall cooperate with Purchaser in its dealings with the
franchisors under the Franchise Agreements which are required pursuant to this
Section 3.5. In the event that the transactions contemplated hereby result in a
default or termination of any Franchise Agreement, then from and after the
Closing Date Purchaser shall be solely responsible and liable for all related
costs, expenses, fees and damages and shall fully indemnify Sellers against
same. Purchaser's foregoing obligations shall survive the Closing.
3.6. Sellers and Purchaser shall cooperate and take all actions necessary,
in a diligent and expeditious manner, to effectuate the inspections and reviews
contemplated by this Section 3 during the Feasibility Period. Purchaser and its
representatives and agents shall be provided with access to the Premises at all
reasonable times (subject to the notice to Sellers required hereinafter), in
order to inspect the Premises, including but not limited to, taking soil samples
and test borings (upon receipt of prior written consent from Sellers as set
forth hereinafter) and conducting environmental studies, engineering studies and
other such inspections and reviews that Purchaser shall deem reasonably
necessary to determine the condition and financial status of the Premises.
Purchaser shall not make any borings or holes in any part of the Premises or
otherwise damage any part of the Premises in any manner or to any extent unless
prior written consent is given by Sellers thereto, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, and provided, further, that Sellers may prohibit any
boring that might void any roof warranty and that all borings, holes, or other
damage shall be repaired promptly by Purchaser.
3.7. In the event that the transaction contemplated by this Agreement does
not close for any reason, Purchaser
-10-
shall have the obligation to remediate any damage caused by Purchaser or its
representatives or agents to the Premises and to restore the Premises to their
condition prior to Purchaser's damage, which obligation shall survive any
termination of this Agreement. The terms of this Agreement and all information
furnished by Sellers to Purchaser in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement or obtained by Purchaser in the course of its investigations shall be
treated as confidential information by Purchaser, except as such disclosure may
be required by applicable state or federal environmental laws and except that
Purchaser may disclose such information to prospective investors and lenders, as
well as attorneys and other parties assisting or representing Purchaser in
connection with the subject transaction, provided, however, that nothing herein
shall restrict or impair any disclosures which Purchaser may be required to make
by virtue of rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "SEC") applicable to Purchaser, if any. The foregoing obligation to treat
such information as confidential shall survive any termination of this Agreement
but shall not survive Closing.
3.8. Purchaser covenants and agrees that the Premises shall not be damaged
or impaired in any way as the result of its aforesaid activities on the
Premises, and hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Sellers harmless from and
against any claims, causes of action, damages, expenses (including attorneys'
fees) or liabilities of whatsoever nature to the extent incident to, resulting
from or in any way arising out of the presence in, on or about the Premises of
Purchaser, or Purchaser's agents or representatives, or out of any test or
inspection conducted by or any other act or omission of Purchaser on the
Premises. Such indemnity shall survive the Closing or any termination of this
Agreement.
3.9. Purchaser shall make all inspections provided for herein in good
faith and with due diligence. All inspection fees, appraisal fees, engineering
fees and other expenses of any kind (including, without limitation, expenses
related to environmental and engineering studies) incurred by Purchaser relating
to the inspection of the Premises will be solely Purchaser's expenses and will
be paid timely by Purchaser, except that Purchaser shall not become liable
solely by virtue of this sentence for remediation costs relating to Hazardous
Materials (as defined below) discovered by Purchaser on any Property as long as
Purchaser did not and does not cause, accelerate or increase, in whole or in
part, directly or indirectly, the need or extent of the required remediation.
Sellers hereby reserve the right to have a representative present at the time of
making any such inspection. Purchaser shall cause any and
-11-
all surveys, engineering reports, environmental reports, feasibility studies,
title reports, audits and other tests, studies or reports prepared for or
obtained by Purchaser in connection with the Premises (collectively, the
"Purchaser Resorts") to be certified to Sellers as well as to Purchaser and
Purchaser shall deliver a copy of each such report to Sellers promptly after
receipt thereof. In making any inspection hereunder, Purchaser will, and will
cause any representative of Purchaser to, use discretion so as to not disrupt
any guest, tenant or customer of the Premises. Purchaser shall notify Sellers
not less than one (1) Business Day in advance of making any such inspection.
3.10. If Purchaser shall validly terminate this Agreement during the
Feasibility Period pursuant to this Section 3, or if the Closing shall otherwise
fail to occur, Purchaser shall return to Sellers the originals and all copies of
all material relating to the Premises furnished to Purchaser pursuant to this
Agreement and shall not make or retain any copies thereof and shall also deliver
to Sellers the originals and all copies of the Purchaser Reports, together with
an absolute assignment of all Purchaser's right, title and interest therein, and
Purchaser shall not make or retain any copies thereof.
3.11. Prior to the expiration of the Feasibility Period, the Seller which
holds leasehold title to the Statesville Property shall use reasonable efforts
(which shall not include the expenditure of any funds or the making of any
changes, alterations or improvements at the Statesville Property or otherwise)
to obtain from the ground lessor under the Statesville Ground Lease and to
deliver to Purchaser an estoppel certificate (a) in the form provided for in
Article XV of the Statesville Ground Lease with the addition of an
acknowledgment of the lack of necessity for approval of the proposed assignment
of the Statesville Ground Lease as contemplated hereby; or (b) in such other
form as may be required by Purchaser's prospective lender for the acquisition
contemplated hereby and which shall be provided to Sellers within 10 Business
Days after the Date of this Agreement. If such Seller fails to obtain such an
estoppel certificate, Purchaser's sole remedy shall be to terminate this
Agreement during the Feasibility Period in accordance with Section 3.1 hereof.
After the Feasibility Period Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived the
applicability of this Section 3.11, provided that, if the aforesaid estoppel
certificate is obtained during the Feasibility Period, the relevant Seller
shall, if so requested by Purchaser, in good faith request of the ground lessor
a second estoppel certificate (in the same form as the first) dated as of a date
within 15 days of the Closing Date.
-12-
3.12. Purchaser shall provide to Sellers, at least five (5) Business Days
prior to the expiration of the Feasibility Period, evidence of Purchaser's
unconditional ability to finance the acquisition of the Premises and the payment
of the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.2 of this Agreement. Sellers agree
that for purposes hereof, a comfort letter from Purchaser's prospective lender
which provides reasonable assurances as to the availability of financing shall
constitute evidence of Purchaser's unconditional ability to finance the
acquisition of the Premises and the payment of the Purchase Price.
3.13. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 3 and the
Deposit is disbursed as set forth in this Section 3 and in Section 13, then,
except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, neither party shall have any
further obligations or liabilities hereunder.
Section 4. TITLE AND SURVEY.
4.1. Purchaser shall obtain, at its sole cost and expense a title report
and survey for each of the Properties from a national title insurance company.
At least five (5) days prior to the expiration of the Feasibility Period,
Purchaser shall deliver copies of such title reports and surveys to Sellers and
notify (the "Title Notice") Sellers which, if any, of the liens, defects,
encumbrances or other matters disclosed thereby are objectionable to Purchaser
(the "Title Defects"). Within two (2) Business Days after receipt by Sellers of
the Title Notice, Sellers shall notify Purchaser if Sellers are willing and able
to cure any of the Title Defects (the "Cure Notice"). All title defects,
encumbrances and other matters which are a matter of public record on or before
the expiration of the Feasibility Period or which are otherwise disclosed by
Purchaser's title reports or surveys for the Properties, except for Title
Defects which are objected to by Purchaser and which Sellers agree to cure in
the Cure Notice, shall be deemed "Permitted Exceptions" which Purchaser shall
take title subject to. Sellers shall have no obligation to cure any Title
Defects, except for mortgages, mechanics liens, monetary judgments or delinquent
real estate taxes, which Sellers agree to bond or pay off at or prior to the
Closing. In the event Sellers are unable or unwilling to cure any Title Defects
which are material to the Properties, taken as a whole, then Purchaser shall
have the right, as its sole remedy, to terminate this Agreement pursuant to
Section 3.1 hereof prior to the expiration of the Feasibility Period. After the
Feasibility Period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived its rights under
this Section 4.1 and to have accepted the quality
-13-
and condition of title to the Premises subject only to the Permitted Exceptions.

retained by the applicable Seller or (b) to acquire such Hotel along with the
remainder of the Premises without any adjustment to the Purchase Price and close
the transaction contemplated hereby as scheduled, in which event Purchaser shall
have the right to participate in the proceedings affecting such Hotel and the
entire award from such proceedings shall be paid or assigned to Purchaser at the
Closing. If Purchaser does not make any election within said ten (10) day
period, or if the proposed taking does not result in a loss of a Material
Portion of any Hotel, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to close this
transaction as provided in (b) above.
Section 8. REMEDIES.

Purchaser, then the Deposit shall be paid by Escrow Agent to, and shall be
retained by, Sellers as full liquidated damages, the parties hereby
acknowledging and agreeing that the amount of Sellers' actual damages in such
circumstances would be difficult, if not

condition to Sellers' obligation to close hereunder that no material adverse
change shall have occurred in the condition, financial results or operations of
Hudson or Purchaser after the Date of this Agreement.

Purchaser shall be permitted to seek specific performance as its sole remedy,
provided that if Sellers are unable or unwilling to convey the Premises to
Purchaser at Closing in accordance with Section 5.2 then Purchaser shall also be

remedies for breach shall be limited to those specified in the immediately
preceding sentence.

tax bills become
-20-
available. The parties agree to cooperate in good faith in effecting such a
final reconciliation and each party shall promptly pay (or reimburse the other
party for) any expense item that is chargeable to the former party and shall
promptly remit any income item to the other party if the other is entitled
thereto. Sellers shall use reasonable efforts to arrange for the rendition of
final bills by the utility companies involved as of the Closing Date. Sellers
shall use reasonable efforts to provide Purchaser with accountings for vending

credited one half to Purchaser and one half to Sellers. Sellers shall collect
all income and other sums payable by tenants or guests (or otherwise) and shall

charges for nights after the Closing Date. In addition, at Closing, Sellers
shall deliver to Purchaser a schedule of all unpaid accounts receivable and
other unpaid income items as of Closing. All such accounts receivable and other
income items paid to and collected by Purchaser after Closing shall be promptly
remitted to the order of Sellers. Except for sums actually received by Purchaser
pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, Purchaser shall assume no
obligation to collect or enforce the payment of any amounts that may be due to
Sellers, except that Purchaser shall render reasonable assistance, at no expense
to Purchaser, to Sellers after Closing in the event Sellers proceed against any
third party to collect any accounts receivable or other income items due
Sellers. Purchaser shall have the right to pursue collection of such items after
the Closing without Sellers' consent or involvement.
-21-
In the event any adjustments pursuant to this Section 9 are, within one
(1) year subsequent to Closing, found to be erroneous, then if either party
hereto is entitled to additional monies and shall invoice the other party for

(g) To Sellers' knowledge, except as disclosed in the Inspection Items

similar agreements with respect to the Premises which give anyone
the right to purchase the Premises or any part thereof. To Sellers'
knowledge (based on inquiry of the management company which manages
the Hotels), there are no contracts or agreements which affect or
relate to the Premises, except for the Contracts and Permits. Except
as set forth in Exhibit F attached hereto, Sellers have no knowledge
of any unpaid bill or claim in excess of $35,000 in connection with
the construction, repair or replacement of the Premises which is
past due or was incurred outside the ordinary course of business,
except for such bills or claims as Sellers are required to pay or
bond off at the Closing. Except as disclosed by the Inspection

Seller is a party and which will be binding upon Purchaser which
require any reduction, concession or abatement of room rates, except
in the ordinary course of business.
(h) To Sellers' knowledge, the Financial Statements for each of the
Hotels that have been made available to Purchaser pursuant to this
Agreement are true, correct and accurate in all material respects
and fairly present the results of operations of the Premises for the
periods covered thereby.
(i) To Sellers' knowledge, each Seller has filed all federal, state,
county and local tax returns required to be filed by such Seller and
has paid all taxes, interest and penalties that have become due and
payable by such Seller. To Sellers' knowledge, there is no tax

(j) To Sellers' knowledge, Sellers do not lack any permit, license,
certificate or authority necessary for the present use and occupancy
of each of the Properties.
(k) To Sellers' knowledge, except as set forth in the Inspection Items,
the Premises are in compliance in all material respects with all
statutes, laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, orders and
directives (including, without limitation, all building, health,
zoning, fire, labor, environmental control and antipollution laws,
ordinances, rules, regulations or directives) of any and all
governmental agencies pertaining to the use or occupancy of the
Premises. To Sellers' knowledge, except as set forth in the
Inspection Items (including, without limitation, the environmental
reports listed in Exhibit H hereto (the "Environmental Reports"),
copies of which Purchaser acknowledges receiving), Sellers and the
Premises are not under investigation or threatened investigation for
failure to comply with any statutes, laws, ordinances, rules,
regulations, orders and directives of any governmental agency
pertaining to the use, generation, dumping, releasing, burying or
disposing of or emitting of any materials or substances
-32-
now or heretofore defined as "hazardous substances," "hazardous
materials," "hazardous waste," "toxic substances," or other similar
designations under the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, 42 U.S.C. s
9601, et seq., the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, 42 U.S.C.
S 6901, et seq., the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, 49
U.S.C. S 1801, et seq. and other laws, whether or not of a similar
nature, applicable to the Premises and adopted by, enacted in or
applicable to the states where the Premises are located. To Sellers'
knowledge, except as may be set forth in the Environmental Reports,
the Premises have never appeared on any federal or state registry of
active or inactive hazardous waste disposal sites. Sellers have
never received any notice of claim from a governmental agency
concerning the alleged release or threatened release of Hazardous
Materials at the Premises.
(l) Sellers have no employees.
(m) Within ten (10) Business Days of the Date of this Agreement and as
of Closing, Sellers shall (i) acknowledge that Hudson is a public
company and (ii) confirm that they have had an opportunity to review
the periodic filings of Hudson with the SEC, had an opportunity to
ask questions of officials of Hudson concerning the business of
Hudson, and otherwise had the opportunity to obtain such information
as they deemed necessary to making their decision to accept the
Shares as partial payment of the Purchaser Price and upon the terms
and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
(n) The Shares are not and as of Closing shall not be purchased for
resale, resyndication, distribution, subdivision or
fractionalization thereof nor will the Shares be Purchased with a
view to or for sale in connection with any distribution within the
meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
(o) Each Seller is and as of Closing shall be an "Accredited Investor",
as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended.
-33-
(p) To Sellers' knowledge, except as disclosed in Exhibit I attached
hereto, there is no litigation affecting Sellers or the Premises
that is likely to have a material adverse affect on the Premises.
(q) As of Closing, all rooms located in the Hotels will be in habitable
condition, subject to ordinary ongoing maintenance.
Sellers make no representations or warranties to Purchaser or Hudson other than
as specifically set forth herein. The term "Sellers' knowledge" or any similar
phrase, as used above, shall mean the actual knowledge, without specific
investigation or inquiry (except as specifically provided above), of John P.
Buza, vice president of each of the Sellers. No claim may be asserted against
Sellers under the foregoing representations and warranties unless upon execution
of this Agreement the aforesaid John P. Buza had actual knowledge of the falsity
or inaccuracy thereof. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary,
each Seller makes the aforesaid representations and warranties only as to such
Seller and its Property, and no Seller shall be liable or responsible for any
breach of any representation or warranty which relates to any other Seller or
any Property owned by any other Seller. The Premises will, on the Closing Date,
be transferred "as is," without warranty or representation of any kind or
character except as specifically set forth herein, including without limitation
without any representations as to physical condition, value, compliance with
legal requirements or the existence or status of contracts affecting the
Premises. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, THERE IS NO
WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A SPECIFIC
PURPOSE OR AS TO THE CONDITION OF ANY PROPERTY. Purchaser will make inspection
of the Premises as it deems appropriate, and has not received any warranties or
representations of any kind, whether written or oral, except as specifically set
forth herein. Purchaser shall, and effective as of the Closing Date does hereby,
assume and agree to indemnify Sellers from and against all obligations and
liabilities arising in connection with the Premises from and after the Closing
Date. The scope of such indemnification shall not include adverse environmental
conditions which existed or originated prior to the Closing Date but which are
disclosed or manifest themselves after the Closing Date. Purchaser's and
Hudson's sole remedy for breaches or violations of the foregoing representations
and warranties which are uncovered prior to the expiration of the Feasibility
Period shall be to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 3 prior to the
expiration of the Feasibility Period. The truth or accuracy of the foregoing
representations and warranties shall
-34-
not be a condition to Closing and shall not give rise to any right to terminate
this Agreement after the Feasibility Period. However, the foregoing shall not
constitute a waiver of Purchaser's rights to make claims against Sellers after
the Closing for breach of the foregoing representations and warranties, subject
to the limitations set forth below. Except as may be otherwise expressly stated
to the contrary above, Sellers' foregoing representations and warranties are
made only as of the Date of this Agreement (and not as of the Closing Date), but
Sellers agree that if they become aware of any matter which would be
inconsistent with any representation or warranty if such representation or
warranty were made as of the Closing Date then Sellers shall disclose such
matter to Purchaser.
12.4. Except as provided in Section 12.5, each of the representations and
warranties contained in Sections 12.1 and 12.3 (collectively, the "Base Reps")
shall survive the Closing until the first anniversary of the Closing Date or, in
the case of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 12.3, until
a sale, assignment or other transfer of the Premises (or any part thereof) by
Purchaser, if sooner. No claim may be asserted by either party under the
foregoing representations or warranties after the expiration of such survival
period, and all claims for breach of such representations and warranties
asserted during such survival period may continue to be asserted after such
survival period only if during the survival period the claiming party provided
the other party specific and detailed written notice thereof and commenced and
diligently prosecuted a law suit against the other in connection therewith. The
parties agree that, except as provided in Section 12.5 but notwithstanding any
other provision hereof to the contrary, (i) no claim may be asserted against
Purchaser or Sellers under the Base Reps unless the aggregate amount of all
claims under the Base Reps (and the Ninety Day Covenants as provided in Section
14.7 as applicable to Sellers) against Purchaser or Sellers, as the case may be,
is in excess of $100,000, and (ii) the maximum aggregate liability of each of
Purchaser and Sellers under or in connection with the Base Reps (and the Ninety
Day Covenants as provided in Section 14.7 as applicable to Sellers) (as a result
of any breach thereof or inaccuracy therein, or otherwise) shall not exceed $3
million, and neither Purchaser nor Sellers shall have liability under or in
connection with the Base Reps (and the Ninety Day Covenants as provided in
Section 14.7 as applicable to Sellers) in excess of such maximum aggregate
amount. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, no claim may be
asserted against Sellers for breach of Section 12.3(q) later than seven (7)
Business Days after the Closing Date, and any claim asserted prior to such time
must be specific as to the breach being asserted.
-35-
12.5. Each of the representations and warranties contained in Section
12.2, and, notwithstanding Section 12.4 above, the representations and
warranties set forth in Sections 12.3(m), (n) and (o) to the extent that such
representations and warranties are applicable to the Shares (the representations
and warranties set forth in Section 12.2 and the aforesaid representations and
warranties set forth in Section 12.3(m), (n) and (o) being hereinafter referred
to as the "Shares/Note Reps") shall survive the Closing until the later to occur
of (i) the first anniversary of the Closing Date and (ii) such time as Sellers
no longer own any of the Shares and the Note has been paid in full. No claim may
be asserted by Sellers under the Shares/Note Reps after the expiration of such
survival period, and all claims for breach of such representations and
warranties asserted during such survival period may continue to be asserted
after such survival period only if during the survival period the claiming party
provided the other party specific and detailed written notice thereof and
commenced and diligently prosecuted a law suit against the other in connection
therewith. The parties agree that, notwithstanding any provision hereof to the
contrary, (i) no claim may be asserted against Hudson or Sellers under the
Shares/Note Reps unless the aggregate amount of all claims against Hudson or
Sellers, as the case may be, under the Shares/Note Reps is in excess of
$100,000, and (ii) the maximum aggregate liability of each of Hudson and Sellers
under or in connection with the Shares/Notes Reps (as a result of any breach
thereof or inaccuracy therein, or otherwise) shall not exceed $6 million, and
neither Hudson nor Sellers shall have liability under the Shares/Note Reps in
excess of such maximum aggregate amount.
12.6. Purchaser acknowledges that Sellers have orally disclosed to
Purchaser the unresolved disagreements and disputes between certain of the
Sellers and the franchisor under the Franchise Agreements for the Cricket Inn
Properties. Sellers shall deliver to Purchaser within five (5) Business Days of
the Date of this Agreement a writing which shall further explain such matters.
Purchaser agrees that if it is dissatisfied with the Premises or this
transaction because of the aforesaid matters, Purchaser's sole remedy shall be
to terminate this Agreement during the Feasibility Period, and in no event shall
Purchaser assert a breach of any representation or warranty by Sellers or any
other claim against Sellers in connection therewith.
Section 13. ESCROW.
13.1. Escrow Agent hereby acknowledges receipt of the Deposit and agrees
to hold the Deposit in escrow until the Closing or sooner termination of this
Agreement and shall pay
-36-
over and apply the proceeds thereof in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. If, for any reason, the Closing does not occur and either Purchaser
or Sellers makes a written demand upon Escrow Agent for payment of the Deposit,
Escrow Agent shall give written notice to the other party of such demand. If
Escrow Agent does not receive a written objection from the other party to the
proposed payment within five (5) Business Days after the giving of such notice,
Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to make such payment. If Escrow Agent does
receive such written objection within such five (5) Business Day period, or if
for any reason Escrow Agent in good faith shall elect not to make such payment,
or in the event of any other dispute between Purchaser and Sellers, Escrow Agent
shall either continue to hold the Deposit until otherwise directed by written
instructions from the parties to this Agreement or until a final judgment
(beyond any applicable appeal period) by a court of competent jurisdiction is
rendered disposing of such Deposit, or shall have the right to deposit the
escrowed funds in a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to CPLR 1006 or any
other applicable statute. Upon delivery of the Deposit to either Purchaser,
Sellers or a court of competent jurisdiction under and pursuant to this Section
13, Escrow Agent shall be relieved of all liability, responsibility or
obligation with respect to or arising out of the Deposit and any and all of its
obligations therefrom. Escrow Agent shall be liable as a depository only and its
duties hereunder are limited to the safekeeping of the Deposit and the delivery
of same in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
13.2. Purchaser and Sellers hereby agree to indemnify, defend and hold
harmless Escrow Agent from and against any cost and expense Escrow Agent may
incur as a result of its agreement to act as Escrow Agent. Purchaser and Sellers
shall be equally responsible for such indemnity.
13.3. Escrow Agent shall not have any liability or obligation for loss of
all or any portion of the Deposit by reason of the insolvency or failure of the
institution or depository with whom the Deposit has been made. The parties
acknowledge that Escrow Agent shall deposit and maintain the Deposit with
Chemical Bank and the parties agree that said institution is acceptable.
13.4. Escrow Agent shall not be liable to Purchaser or Sellers, or any
other party, for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith;
and Escrow Agent shall not be responsible to any party for the consequences of
any oversight or errors of judgment on its part, nor be answerable to any party
for any loss, cost or expense unless same shall occur through Escrow Agent's
gross negligence or willful misconduct.
-37-
Escrow Agent shall be entitled to consult with counsel of its own choosing and
shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in
accordance with the advice of such counsel.
13.5. Escrow Agent shall have the right to act in reliance upon any
document, instrument or signature believed by it to be genuine and to assume
that any person purporting to give any notice or instruction in accordance with
the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so.
13.6. Escrow Agent shall execute this Agreement solely to acknowledge its
obligations as Escrow Agent hereunder.
Section 14. SELLERS COVENANTS.
14.1. Following the date of this Agreement and to and including the
Closing, Sellers shall, or shall cause the manager of the Premises to, continue
normal maintenance and management of the Premises and operation and marketing of
the Hotels in the ordinary course of business. Sellers will terminate their
existing management agreement at or prior to Closing. If requested by Purchaser,
Sellers will cooperate with Purchaser in its attempt to negotiate an agreement
with Sellers' management company for such management company to continue
managing the Properties on Purchaser's behalf and at Purchaser's cost for one
month following the Closing in order to facilitate the transition of ownership.
No claim may be asserted under this Section 14.1 after the Closing.
14.2. All taxes levied against the Premises which were or shall be due and
payable prior to the Closing shall be paid in full by Sellers on or prior to the
Closing.
14.3. All payments which are due and payable prior to the Closing Date
under any Contract shall be made by Sellers at or prior to the Closing. Sellers
shall not enter into new contracts or amend, cancel or renew any existing
Contracts after the Date of this Agreement except in the ordinary course of
business. Any such new Contract entered into after the Date of this Agreement
shall, unless Purchaser otherwise consents, provide that it may be cancelled on
not more than 30 days' notice by Sellers at no penalty or cost.
14.4. Sellers shall maintain the present level of fire and casualty
insurance on the Premises up to and including the Closing.
-38-
14.5. Sellers shall deliver to Purchaser a report itemizing room sales per
month, occupancy and ADR through a date which is not later than one month prior
to the Closing Date.
14.6. Prior to the Closing Date, Sellers shall not deplete inventories of
any of the Hotels below their normal levels. Purchaser shall have seven (7)
Business Days following Closing to confirm that Sellers did not breach this
covenant and to assert any related claim (Purchaser hereby waiving any right to
assert any such claim after such seven (7) Business Day Period), except that,
(i) no claim may be asserted against Sellers under this Section 14.6 unless the
aggregate amount of all claims under this Section 14.6 against Sellers is in
excess of $15,000, and (ii) the maximum aggregate liability of Sellers under or
in connection with this Section 14.6 (as a result of any breach hereof or
inaccuracy therein, or otherwise) shall not exceed $120,000, and Sellers shall
not have liability under or in connection with this Section 14.6 in excess of
such maximum aggregate amount.
14.7. No claim may be asserted by either party for breach of the covenants
contained in Sections 14.2, 14.3, and 14.4 (collectively, the "Ninety Day
Covenants") except during the 90 day period immediately following the Closing
and all claims for breach of such Ninety Day Covenants asserted during such
period may continue to be asserted after such period only if during such period
the claiming party provided the other party specific and detailed written notice
thereof and commenced and diligently prosecuted a law suit against the other in
connection therewith. The parties agree that (i) no claim may be asserted
against Sellers under the Ninety Day Covenants unless the aggregate amount of
all claims under the Ninety Day Covenants against Sellers is in excess of
$100,000, and (ii) the maximum aggregate liability of Sellers under or in
connection with the Ninety Day Covenants and the Ease Reps, in the aggregate
shall not exceed $3 million, and Sellers shall not have liability under or in
connection with the Ninety Day Covenants and/or the Base Reps in excess of such
maximum aggregate amount.
14.8. None of the Sellers' covenants set forth in this Agreement shall
survive the Closing unless otherwise expressly set forth herein.
Section 15. HUDSON COVENANTS.
15.1. For as long as Sellers own any of the Shares, Hudson shall provide
at least 30 days' prior written notice to
-39-
Salomon Brothers Inc (at the address for Sellers set forth herein) of any equity
offering of Hudson ("Equity Offering") and an opportunity to make the first
offer to underwrite such offering. Provided that Salomon Brothers Inc shall
submit a written proposal to Hudson with respect to such underwriting within 20
days after written notice from Hudson that it proposes to have such Equity
Offering, and provided further that, after reviewing whether Salomon Brothers
Inc's proposal has terms, pricing, a fee structure and any other pertinent
business terms substantially similar in Hudson's judgment to those available
from an alternative underwriter, Hudson shall give due consideration to Salomon
Brothers Inc's proposal but, subject to the remaining provisions of this Section
15.1, shall have the sole and absolute discretion to determine whether or not to
choose Salomon Brothers Inc as the principal underwriter. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if Hudson after giving such due consideration wishes to accept an
offer from an alternative underwriter (the "Alternative Underwriter") in
connection with any Equity Offering, Hudson shall provide at least five (5)
Business Days' prior written notice (the "Right of First Refusal Period") of
same to Salomon Brothers Inc (at the address for Sellers set forth herein).
Provided that within the Right of First Refusal Period, Salomon Brothers Inc
shall submit a written proposal to Hudson with respect to such underwriting
which is substantially similar to the terms, pricing, fee structure and any
other pertinent business terms of the offer of the Alternative Underwriter (the
"Matching Offer"), Hudson shall accept the Matching Offer of Salomon Brothers
Inc to be the principal underwriter. If Salomon Brothers Inc does not provide
Hudson with a Matching Offer during the Right of First Refusal Period, Hudson
shall be entitled to enter into an underwriting commitment with the Alternative
Underwriter within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Right of First
Refusal Period, provided that the underwriting commitment entered into with the
Alternative Underwriter is no more favorable to the Alternative Underwriter (in
its terms, pricing, fee structure and any other pertinent business terms which
shall be specified therein) than the Alternative Underwriter's offer as
aforesaid. If, at the end of such 30 day period, Hudson shall not have entered
into such underwriting commitment agreement with the Alternative Underwriter,
Hudson shall again be obligated to comply with the provisions of this Section
15.1 (and to provide Salomon Brothers Inc the aforesaid right of first offer and
right of first refusal) with respect to any Equity Offering. Hudson acknowledges
that the rights granted to Salomon Brothers Inc hereunder constitute material
consideration and inducement to Sellers to enter into this transaction. Salomon
Brothers Inc shall be a third party beneficiary under this Section 15.1 but
shall not have any obligation or liability whatsoever under this Agreement. For
the purposes
-40-
hereof, any form or type of equity offerings of Hudson shall not include any
type of mortgage, line of credit, bond or debenture financing.
15.2. Hudson hereby covenants with Sellers that from and after the
Closing, any public announcements or disclosures made by Hudson with respect to
this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without
limitation, the Shares, the Note, the Purchase Price or the Premises) shall
first be sent to Sellers for their review and approval. Until such approval has
been given to Hudson by Sellers, Hudson shall refrain from making such public
disclosures or announcements.
15.3. (a) Hudson hereby covenants with Sellers that, in the event a
Closing takes place hereunder, Hudson shall immediately commence the preparation
and filing of a registration statement registering the Shares for sale with the
SEC as more particularly set forth below. Hudson shall diligently prosecute the
registration and shall register the Shares no later than one hundred eighty
(180) days after the Closing and shall take any and all actions necessary to
maintain the effectiveness of the registration, including post-effective
amendments, if necessary, until Sellers have disposed of all of the Shares. To
this end, following the Closing Date, Hudson shall file with the SEC a
registration statement under the Securities Act for the offering on a continuous
or delayed basis in the future of all of the Shares (this and subsequent filings
of registration statements provided hereinafter, the "Shelf Registration"). The
Shelf Registration shall be on an appropriate form and the Shelf Registration
and any form of prospectus included therein or prospectus supplement relating
thereto shall reflect such plan of distribution or method of sale as Sellers may
from time to time notify Hudson, including the sale of some or all of the Shares
in a public offering or, if requested by Sellers, subject to receipt by Hudson
of such information (including information relating to purchasers) as Hudson
reasonably may require, (i) in a transaction constituting an offering outside
the United States which is exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act in which Hudson undertakes to effect registration after the
completion of such offering in order to permit such shares to be freely
tradeable in the United States, (ii) in a transaction constituting a private
placement under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act in connection with which
Hudson undertakes to effect a registration after the conclusion of such
placement to permit such shares to be freely tradeable by the purchasers
thereof, or (iii) in a transaction under Rule 144A of the Securities Act in
connection with which Hudson undertakes to effect a registration after the
conclusion of such transaction to permit such
-41-
shares to be freely tradeable by the purchasers thereof. Hudson shall use its
best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration continuously effective for the
period beginning on the date on which the Shelf Registration is declared
effective and ending on the first date that there are no Shares remaining in the
possession of Sellers (the "Registration Period"), and in the event that
notwithstanding Hudson's best efforts, Hudson fails to keep the Shelf
Registration effective, Hudson shall file with the SEC another Shelf
Registration, such that a Shelf Registration is continually in effect during the
Registration Period. During the Registration Period, Hudson shall supplement or
make amendments to the Shelf Registration, if required by the Securities Act or
if reasonably requested by Sellers or an underwriter of Registrable Securities,
including to reflect any specific plan of distribution or method of sale, and
shall use its reasonable best efforts to have such supplements and amendments
declared effective, if required, as soon as practicable after filing.
(b) Until sixty (60) days following the beginning of the
Registration Period, Hudson and E. Anthony Wilson covenant that E. Anthony
Wilson acting in his individual capacity shall not sell any shares of Hudson
Common Stock other than under and pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act. E.
Anthony Wilson has executed this Agreement below in his individual capacity to
confirm his agreement to such covenant.
15.4. If, at any time from and after the Closing Date and until
commencement of the Registration Period, Hudson shall propose to prepare on its
own behalf or on behalf of any of its shareholders (other than Sellers) a
registration statement in connection with an underwritten public offering of any
securities of Hudson, Hudson shall give Sellers notice at least 20 days before
the anticipated filing date of such registration statement. Should Sellers
desire to have any Shares owned by Sellers included in such registration
statement, Sellers shall so advise Hudson no later than 15 days after Hudson's
notice is given, setting forth the number or amount of Shares which Sellers
request to be included in the registration statement, and Hudson shall include
the Shares specified in such request in such registration statement and keep
such registration statement in effect and maintain relevant compliance with each
federal and state law and regulation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Hudson
shall not be required to give notice or include such Shares in any such offering
if the proposed registration relates solely to the sale of securities to
participants in a dividend reinvestment plan, is to be made on Form S-4 and
relates to a business combination or similar transaction permitted to be
registered on such Form S-4, is to be made on Form
-42-
S-8 and relates solely to the sale of securities to participants in a stock or
employee benefit plan, or is permitted under Rule 462 promulgated under the
Securities Act and registers additional securities of the same class as were
included in an earlier registration statement for the same offering and declared
effective; and (ii) Hudson may, in its sole discretion, withdraw such
registration statement and abandon the proposed offering .
15.5. To the extent required from time to time to enable Sellers to sell
Shares without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of
the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, as
such Rule may be amended from time to time, or any similar rule or regulation
hereafter adopted by the SEC, Hudson will file in a timely manner (taking into
account any extensions granted by the SEC), information, documents and reports
in compliance with the Exchange Act and will, at its expense, forthwith upon the
request of Sellers, deliver to Sellers a certificate, signed by Hudson's
principal financial officer, stating (a) Hudson's name, address and telephone
number (including area code), (b) Hudson's Internal Revenue Service
identification number, (c) Hudson's SEC file number, (d) the number of shares of
Hudson's common stock and the number of shares of any preferred stock of Hudson
outstanding as shown by the most recent report or statement published by Hudson,
and (e) whether Hudson has filed the reports required to be filed under the
Exchange Act for a period of at least 90 days prior to the date of such
certificate and in addition has filed the most recent annual report required to
be filed thereunder. If at any time Hudson is not required to file reports in
compliance with either Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, Hudson
will, at its expense, forthwith upon the written request of Sellers, make
available adequate current public information with respect to Hudson within the
meaning of paragraph (c) (2) of Rule 144 of the General Rules and Regulations
promulgated under the Securities Act.
15.6. (a) Following the registration of the Shares as provided herein, the
parties understand that Sellers may dispose of the Shares using several
different methods, which may include an underwritten offering. In the event that
Sellers elect to utilize an underwriter, Hudson shall enter into a customary
underwriting agreement providing for customary indemnities for the underwriters
and the selling security holders. Hudson shall pay all costs and expenses of
whatsoever nature which arise from or relate to the registration or sale of the
Shares as aforesaid, except that the seller of the Shares shall be responsible
for any underwriting discounts or commissions.
-43-
(b) In the event that Sellers shall elect to dispose of the Shares in a
transaction or series of transactions not involving an underwriting, Hudson and
Sellers shall enter into a customary indemnity agreement providing for an
indemnity to each party for statements or information in the registration
statement pertaining to or provided by the indemnifying party.
15.7. (a) Hudson shall, if so requested by Sellers within five (5)
Business Days after the expiration of the Feasibility Period, appoint and
maintain, commencing on the Closing Date and for as long as Sellers hold any
Shares1 an observer of Hudson's Board of Directors, designated by Sellers, who
shall be invited to attend all meetings of the Board of Directors and shall be
compensated in the same manner as are non-employee directors of Hudson. Such
observer shall be indemnified by Hudson against all claims and liabilities
arising out of his or her participation in the meetings of the Board of
Directors .
(b) Alternatively, from and after the Closing Date, Sellers shall have the
right (but not the obligation) to have on the board of directors of Hudson (the
"Board") one director (such director and any other person made a director of the
Board pursuant to this Section 15.8, the "Sellers Nominee"), and Hudson shall
promptly cause Sellers Nominee to become a member of the Board. If necessary to
effectuate the placement of the Sellers Nominee on the Board, Hudson shall, at
its sole option, (i) expand the size of the Board or (ii) solicit the
resignation of one of its directors, in either case, to the extent necessary to
permit the Sellers Nominee to serve. Until such time that Sellers no longer own
the Shares, Sellers shall have the right to maintain a Sellers Nominee on the
Board. Sellers agree to indicate to Purchaser within five (5) Business days
after the expiration of the Feasibility Period whether they will request a
Sellers Nominee to be placed on the Board immediately following Closing.
(c) If Sellers elect to exercise their option in Section 15.7(b) above,
Hudson will support the nomination of, and Hudson s nominating committee (or any
other committee exercising a similar function) shall recommend to the Board, the
election of any Sellers Nominee to the Board, and Hudson will exercise all
authority under applicable law to cause such Sellers Nominee to be elected to
the Board. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, with respect to
each meeting of shareholders of Hudson at which directors are to be elected,
Hudson shall use its reasonable efforts to solicit from the shareholders of
Hudson eligible to vote in the election of directors proxies in favor of such
Sellers Nominee.
-44-
(d) In the event that any Sellers Nominee shall cease to serve as a
director for any reason other than the fact that Sellers no longer have a right
to nominate a director, as provided in subsection (b), the vacancy resulting
thereby shall, if Sellers so choose in their sole discretion, be filled by a
Sellers Nominee designated by Sellers.
15.8. The rights and benefits of Sellers set forth in Sections 15.3(a),
15.4, 15.5 and 15.6 hereunder shall inure to the benefit of any of Sellers'
successors, assigns or transferees who obtain a legal or beneficial interest in
the Shares, other than in connection with the sale thereof pursuant to the
registration described in Section 15.3(a) or 15.4.
15.9. Each of the covenants contained in this Section 15 shall survive the
Closing until Sellers no longer own any of the Shares.
Section 16. BINDING EFFECT; MISCELLANEOUS.

Corp., SB Motel Columbia Corp., SB Motel Charleston Corp., SB Motel Albany
Corp., SB Motel Virginia Beach Corp., SB Motel Durham-Duke Corp., SB Motel

to name any designee as the Lender at any time prior to the Closing]
(collectively, "Lender"), or order, at ________________ or at such other place
in the United States of America as may be designated in writing by the holder of
this note (this "Note"), the sum of _______________________ ($_________)
Dollars, together with Interest as hereinafter provided, until the said
principal sum shall be fully paid, and to be due and payable as hereinafter
provided. The said principal sum, or the amount thereof outstanding, together
with accrued and unpaid interest and all other unpaid sums payable hereunder,
shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date (as hereinafter defined) or as
otherwise expressly provided herein. Borrower may make voluntary prepayments of
principal in accordance with Section 3 hereof.
1. Definitions. The following terms, as used in this Note, shall have the
following meanings, which shall be applicable equally to the singular and the
plural of the terms defined:
"Business Day" shall mean any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or a day
on which federally insured depository institutions in the State of New York are
authorized or obligated by law, governmental decree or executive order to be
closed.
"Event of Default" shall mean (i) any failure of Borrower to pay any
amounts due and payable pursuant to this Note within five (5) Business Days
after the due date thereof, (ii) any default by Borrower under the Senior
Indebtedness (as hereinafter defined) which shall entitle Nomura Asset Capital
Corporation (or any successors or assigns thereof) to accelerate all principal
indebtedness evidenced by the Senior
D-1
Indebtedness or (iii) financial difficulties of Borrower or any subsidiary of
Borrower as evidenced by (x) the filing of a voluntary or involuntary petition
in bankruptcy or under any chapters of the Bankruptcy Code or under any federal
or state statute providing for relief of debtors, (y) the making of an
assignment for the benefit of creditors or (z) the appointment of a receiver or
trustee for all or a major part of its property.
"Maturity Date" shall mean November 27, 1997.
2. Interest. (a) Interest at the rate of ten percent (l0%) per annum on
the unpaid principal ("Interest") shall be due and payable in arrears on the
first day of each month following the date of this Note. Interest accruing under
this Note shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number
of days elapsed.
(b) Borrower shall pay principal, Interest and all other sums due
hereunder in immediately available funds to Lender at ____________________ or
otherwise as directed in writing by Lender. Payments hereunder shall be due
prior to 3:00 P.M. (Eastern Standard Time) on the date on which payment shall be
due. Lender may apply payments received in respect of Borrower's obligations in
such manner as it may see fit in its sole discretion.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, (i) upon
and following the Maturity Date (if the principal of, and any accrued Interest
on, this Note are not paid in full) or (ii) if an Event of Default shall occur,
then, from and after the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default and
during the continuance of such Event of Default, any unpaid principal shall bear
interest at a rate per annum (the "Default Rate") equal to the lesser of (1)
eighteen percent (18%) per annum, or (2) the maximum rate permitted by
applicable law to be charged to Borrower.
(d) It is not intended hereby to charge interest at a rate in excess of
the maximum legal rate of interest permitted to be charged to Borrower under
applicable law, but if, notwithstanding the foregoing, interest in excess of
said maximum legal rate shall be paid hereunder, the excess shall be applied by
Lender to the payment of the unpaid principal due hereunder.
3. Voluntary Prepayment. Borrower shall have the right to prepay any
unpaid principal or other unpaid sums in connection therewith in whole or in
part without penalty or
D-2
premium. Any such prepayment of unpaid principal shall be accompanied by an
amount equal to unpaid Interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount of
principal being so prepaid. In the event of such voluntary prepayment, Borrower
shall give Lender written notice of its intent to prepay at least ten (10)
Business Days prior to the date on which such prepayment is to be made, and
shall specify the amount of such prepayment. If any such notice is given, the
amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified
therein.
4. Acceleration. In the case of the occurrence of any Event of Default
under this Note, Lender may, upon giving written notice to Borrower, and in
addition to exercising any other available rights or remedies, accelerate all or
any part of the principal due hereunder, which shall therewith be immediately
due and payable by Borrower, together with Interest accrued to date at the rate
specified hereunder, together with all fees and other charges payable by
Borrower hereunder.
5. Waiver. (a) Borrower and any endorsers, sureties and guarantors hereof
or hereon hereby waive presentment for payment, demand, protest, notice of
non-payment or dishonor and of protest, and agree to remain bound until the
unpaid principal, all accrued interest and all other sums payable hereunder are
paid in full, notwithstanding any extensions of time for payment which may be
granted even though the period of extension be indefinite, and notwithstanding
any inaction by, or failure to assert any legal right available to, Lender.
(b) It is further expressly agreed that any waiver by Lender, other than a
waiver in writing signed by Lender, of any term or provision hereof or of any
right, remedy or option under this Note shall not be controlling, nor shall it
prevent or estop Lender from thereafter enforcing such term, provision, right,
remedy or option, and the failure or refusal of Lender to insist in any one or
more instances upon the strict performance of any of the terms or provisions of
this Note shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment for the future of
any such term or provision, but the same shall continue in full force and
effect, it being understood and agreed that Lender's rights, remedies and
options under this Note are and shall be cumulative and are in addition to all
other rights, remedies and options of Lender in law or in equity or under any
other agreement.
6. Late Charge. In addition to interest charged at the Default Rate and
Lender's other available remedies, in the event any amount due and payable under
this Note is not paid on the date when due, a "late charge" of six cents for
each dollar overdue shall be charged by Lender and paid by Borrower for the
D-3
purpose, among other things, of covering the expenses incident to handling a
delinquent payment.
7. Costs of Collection. Borrower shall pay, when such costs are incurred
by Lender, all third party costs of collecting any amount which is not paid by
Borrower when due pursuant to the terms of this Note, including, without
limitation, the attorneys' fees and disbursements of Lender's counsel, which
costs may be added to the indebtedness evidenced by this Note and paid promptly
on demand, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate.
8. Subordination. The term "Senior Indebtedness" shall mean: (i) the
principal in an amount not to exceed $12,000,000, plus any premiums, unpaid
interest and any other sums, charges or amounts which is or may become due and
payable by Borrower to Nomura Asset Capital Corporation, whether outstanding on
the date of execution of this Note or thereafter created, incurred, assumed,
issued or guaranteed, which indebtedness is, among other things, for all or part
of the consideration for the acquisition of certain hotels being transferred
from Lender to Borrower on even date herewith pursuant to that certain Agreement
of Purchase Sale dated as of September 26, 1996, among Borrower, Lender and
Hudson Hotels Properties Corp.; and any and all deferrals, renewals or
extensions of any such indebtedness or obligations.
This Note, including the principal hereof and Interest hereon, is
subordinate and junior in right of payment to the Senior Indebtedness of
Borrower. In the case of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership,
conservatorship, reorganization, or arrangement with, or assignment for the
benefit of creditors, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities
or similar proceeding or any liquidation or winding up of, or relating to,
Borrower, whether voluntary or involuntary, all such obligations and rights,
including interest at the Default Rate, shall be entitled to be paid in full
before any payment shall be made on account of the principal, or Interest or
premium, if any, on this Note.
9. Waiver of Trial by Jury. Borrower hereby irrevocably waives all right
to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim arising out of or
relating to this Note.
10. Miscellaneous. (a) Applicable Law. Borrower agrees that this Note
shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the

this Note, Borrower hereby accepts for itself and in respect of its property,
generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts.
Borrower further irrevocably consents to the service of process out of any of
the aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by the delivery of
copies thereof to Borrower to the address of Borrower specified in the Preamble
hereof. Nothing herein shall affect the right of Lender to serve process in any
other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise
proceed against Borrower in any other jurisdiction.
(b) Amendments in Writing. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this
Note, nor consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be
effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Lender and Borrower
and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance
and for the specific purpose for which given.
(c) Successors. Lender shall have the right to assign to one or more banks
or other persons or entities all or a portion of its interest in this Note and
to sell participations in or to all or a portion of its interest in this Note.
The term "Lender" shall mean the then holder of this Note from time to time and

Note shall be entitled to the benefits, and subject in all respects to the terms
and conditions, of this Note.
(d) Partial Invalidity. In the event that any provision of this Note or
the application thereof to Borrower or any circumstance in any jurisdiction
governing this Note shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable under any
applicable statute, regulation, or rule of law then such a provision shall be
deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be
deemed modified to conform to such statute, regulation or rule of law, and the
remainder of this Note and the application of any such invalid or unenforceable
provision to parties, jurisdictions, or circumstances other than to whom or to
which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby nor
shall the same affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of
this Note.
D-5
(e) Time Is of the Essence. Time is of the essence as to all dates set
forth herein; provided, however, that whenever any payment to be made hereunder
shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment may
be made on the next succeeding Business Day.
(f) No Impairment of Rights. No act of commission or omission of any kind
or at any time upon the part of Lender or its successors or assigns in respect
of any matter whatsoever shall in any way impair the rights of Lender to enforce
any right, power or benefit under this Note and no set-off, counterclaim,
reduction, or diminution of any obligation, or any defense of any kind or
nature, which Borrower has or may have against Lender or any assignee or
successor thereof, shall be available hereunder to Borrower.
(g) Authority. Borrower has executed this Note with due and proper
authority to do so. This Note is valid and enforceable against Borrower and

Hudson's Litigation Schedule
On October, 26, 1990, a complaint was filed in Palm Beach County Circuit
Court, Florida, by Seagate Beach Quarters, Inc., a Florida corporation (Bearing
Case #90-12358-AB), seeking damages plus interest and costs, against Rochester
Community Savings Bank, ("RCSB"), a New York based bank, Shore Holdings, Inc.
("SHORE"), a subsidiary of RCSB and naming Hudson as a co-defendant. On
December, 6, 1990, Delray Beach Hotel Properties Limited, a Florida limited
partnership controlled by Hudson, purchased the Seagate Hotel and Beach Club
from RCSB's subsidiary, SHORE. The purchase contract included an indemnification
of Hudson against any action resulting from previously negotiated contracts
between RCSB's subsidiaries and third-parties. Case #90-12358-AB contained
allegations that RCSB's subsidiary, SHORE, defaulted in its obligations under a
Contract for Purchase and Sale, dated August 16, 1990, and failed to go forward
with the transaction due to alleged tortious negotiations between RCSB and
Hudson. On March 17, 1994, the Court granted Summary Judgment in favor of RCSB
and Hudson which judgment was appealed by Seagate. The Fourth District Court of
Appeal in Florida affirmed the summary judgment on RCSB and reversed the summary
judgment granted in favor of Hudson, remanding the action to Circuit Court for
further consideration. On August 15, 1994, Seagate proceeded to trial against
SHORE in case #90-12358-AB. During the course of the trial, Seagate took a
voluntary dismissal of their action against SHORE. On September 8, 1994, Seagate
refiled its lawsuit against SHORE and joined Delray Beach Hotel Properties
Limited, through its general partner, Delray Beach Hotel Corp. (bearing Case
#94-6961-AF). The new case against SHORE was brought essentially on the same
facts as stated above. The claim against Delray Beach Hotel Properties Limited
was identical to the conspiracy and tortious interference with a business
relationship claim currently existing against Hudson. On January 27, 1995, the
Court issued an Order dismissing the Amended Complaint as to Delray Beach Hotel
Properties Limited. The Circuit Court has consolidated the case against Hudson
(Case #90-12358-AB) and the case against SHORE (Case #94-6961-AF) and it is
anticipated those suits will go to trial during 1997.
On February 11, 1993, a complaint was filed in the Western District of New
York, United States District Court, by John Miranda, Susan Miranda and
Christopher Miranda, seeking damages and costs against Quality Inn
International, Choice Hotels International, and naming Hudson as a co-defendant.
The
G-l
requested relief in this case, John Miranda and Susan Miranda and Christopher
Miranda vs. Quality Inns International Inc., Choice Hotels International Inc.,
Ridge Road Hotel Properties, Ridge Road Hotel Properties d/b/a Comfort Inn,
a/k/a Comfort Inn West, Hudson, and Jennifer L. Ansley, as Executrix of the
Estate of Loren G. Ansley, was based on allegations that John Miranda, while
staying at the Comfort Inn, stepped on a needle, and claims negligence and lack
of due care on the part of the defendants. This case is being diligently
defended by the insurance carrier of Ridge Road Hotel Properties and Hudson.
Hudson believes that it has adequate insurance for any potential loss.
After taking into consideration legal Counsel's evaluation of all such
actions, management is of the opinion that the outcome of each such proceeding
or claim which is pending, or known to be threatened (as described above), will
not have a significant effect on Hudson's financial statements.
On June 20, 1995, Ladenburg, Thalmann & Co., Inc. Hudson's former
investment bankers, filed a complaint in New York State Supreme Court against
Hudson alleging breach of contract and damages of $906,250 relating to Hudson's
rescission of a warrant granted to them in connection with the investment
advisory agreement. In February 1994, the Board of Hudson determined that
Ladenburg had been otherwise adequately compensated for such services as were
actually performed, and voted to rescind the warrant. Hudson has answered the
complaint, denying the relevant allegations and asserting several affirmative
defenses. Discovery in the case has commenced and is continuing. The ultimate
outcome of the litigation cannot presently be determined. Accordingly, no
provision for any liability that may result has been made in the financial
statements.
On January 29, 1996, William Lemer filed a complaint in the Court of
Common Please of Washington County, Pennsylvania, against Hudson, alleging
breach of contract and damages of $253,125 relating to Hudson's rescission of a
warrant granted to this individual in connection with establishing a
relationship with Ladenburg, Thalmann & Co., Inc. In February 1994, the Board of
Hudson rescinded the warrant to William Lerner as a result of terminating
Hudson's relationship with Ladenburg, Thalmann & Co., Inc. On March 26, 1996,
William Lerner dismissed the complaint filed against Hudson. As part of the
dismissal, Hudson allowed him to exercise his warrants on a cashless basis and
issued 19,594 shares of Microtel common stock as a result of this transaction.
