insolvency  proceedings pending or threatened with respect to any of the tenants
under the Tenant Leases, and (g) no tenant has notified Seller in writing of any
material,  uncured  defect or alleged defect in its premises or the common areas
of the Properties.  In the event any such notices are received by Seller between
the date of this  Agreement  and Closing,  copies  thereof shall be furnished to
Purchaser,  and if the cost to correct the matters referred to therein (together
with the cost of  correcting  all other matters  requiring  correction by Seller
under this Agreement prior to Closing)  exceeds $50,000 and Seller elects not to
correct such matters,  then Purchaser may terminate this Agreement (and, in such
event, Purchaser shall be entitled to a return of its Earnest Money).

or any other location  within the vicinity of the  Properties;  and, to Seller's
knowledge, there are no Hazardous Substances in, under, or on the Properties. As

except as may be set forth on Exhibit E hereto, Seller is current in the payment
of all fees and expenses  incurred by Seller for work conducted by or for Seller
under the Land Leases or under any license  relating to the Property,  and there
is no existing event which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or
both,  could become a default under any contract for the performance of services
under  the Land  Leases or under any such  license,  and there are no  disputes,
claims, or rights of set-off under any such contract.

         SECTION 6:   CONDITIONS TO CLOSING

         In addition to the  conditions  provided  in other  provisions  of this
Agreement,  the parties'  obligations to perform their undertakings  provided in
this Agreement, are each conditioned on the fulfillment of each of the following
which is a condition to such party's obligation to perform hereunder (subject to
such party's waiver in strict accordance with Section 9 below).

     (1)  Purchaser  shall  have  obtained  each of the  following  at  Seller's
expense:  (i) an ALTA  Survey  prepared  by a licensed  surveyor  of each of the
Properties  (hereinafter,  the  "Surveys")  certified to Purchaser,  Purchaser's
lender, and to the Title Company, (ii) preliminary title reports for each of the
Properties (the "Title Reports")  together with legible copies of all exceptions
appearing in such reports  issued by the Title  Company,  and (iii) a UCC search
(the "UCC Search") of all currently effective financing statements naming Seller
as debtor from the California  Secretary of State,  together with legible copies
of all of such financing statements. Purchaser shall have until June 30, 1998 to
approve the Surveys,  the Title Reports,  and the results of the UCC Search.  If
Purchaser  approves the Surveys,  the Title Reports,  and the results of the UCC
Search, then all matters showing thereon shall be deemed "Permitted Exceptions."
If Purchaser  disapproves any matters in the Surveys,  the Title Reports, or the
UCC  Search,  then  Seller  may  either  cure such  matters,  in which  case the
remaining matters approved by Purchaser shall be deemed Permitted Exceptions, or

                                     - 17 -





notify  Purchaser that it has elected not to cure such matters.  Any such notice
by Seller shall be given to Purchaser not later than five (5) days following the
date Purchaser  notifies Seller of any  objectionable  title matters.  If Seller
elects not to cure any matter  which has been  disapproved  by  Purchaser,  then
Purchaser  may elect  either to accept such matter as a Permitted  Exception  or
terminate this Agreement (and, in such event, Purchaser shall be entitled to the
return of its Earnest Money).

         (2) As a condition to each party's obligation to perform hereunder, the
due performance by the other of all  undertakings and agreements to be performed
by the other hereunder and the truth of each  representation and warranty as set
forth herein made pursuant to this Agreement by the other at the Closing Date.

         (3) As a condition to Purchaser's  obligation to perform hereunder (and
not as a default),  that there shall not have  occurred  between the date hereof
and  the  Closing  Date,  inclusive,  destruction  of or  damage  or loss to the
Properties  (whether  or not  covered  by  insurance  proceeds)  from any  cause
whatsoever, the cost of which to repair plus any resulting abatement of any rent
after Closing under any Tenant  Leases and any resulting  business  interruption
exceeds $100,000 in the aggregate;  provided, however, that in the event of such
destruction or damage,  Purchaser may elect to proceed with the Closing in which
case Seller shall assign to Purchaser any claims for proceeds from the insurance
policies  covering  such  destruction  or  damage  (including  any  rental  loss
insurance) and shall pay to Purchaser the amount of any deductibles  thereunder.
If the cost of repairing the destruction, damage or loss plus any resulting rent
abatement and business  interruption  after Closing is less than $100,000 in the
aggregate,  the parties shall proceed with the Closing as provided  herein,  the
cost of repair plus the amount of any rent abatement  shall be deducted from the
Purchase Price and Seller shall retain any insurance proceeds.


                                     - 18 -





         (4) As a condition of Purchaser's  obligation to perform hereunder (and
not as a  default),  Purchaser  shall be  satisfied  in its  sole  and  absolute
discretion  with all aspects of the Properties  (including,  but not limited to,
the physical and environmental condition of the Properties);  provided, however,
if Purchaser does not notify Seller in writing prior to June 30, 1998 that it is
not so satisfied, this condition shall be deemed waived by Purchaser.  Purchaser
shall  not be  required  to give its  reasons  for  terminating  this  Agreement
pursuant to this Paragraph,  and Purchaser's notice shall be conclusive evidence
that it is dissatisfied  with the Properties.  It is understood and agreed,  and
Purchaser hereby acknowledges,  that the period of time afforded by this section
of the Agreement (the  "Inspection  Period")  should be ample time to review and
inspect the  condition  of the  Properties  and that if, for any  reason,  it is
dissatisfied  with the  condition  of the  Properties  or with  the  information
provided or available  to Purchaser  within the  Inspection  Period,  it has the
unrestricted  right to  terminate  this  Agreement  and  receive a return of its
Earnest Money. Accordingly,  in the event that Purchaser does not terminate this
Agreement and proceeds  beyond the  expiration of the Inspection  Period,  it is
understood and agreed that the Properties are being sold "as is," "where is" and
"with all faults,"  except as set forth in Section 3.  Purchaser  further agrees
and  confirms  that it is not relying on  information  other than the  financial
statements  and other  information  supplied  during the  Inspection  Period and
Seller makes no  representation  or warranty  whatsoever  as to the condition or
value of the Properties or otherwise except as set forth in Section 3.

         (5) As a condition of Purchaser's  obligation to perform hereunder (and
not as a  default),  Purchaser  shall  have  until  June  30,  1998 to  obtain a
commitment  (the  "Lender's  Commitment")  from a third-party  lender to provide
financing  in an  amount  of not  less  than  90% of the  Purchase  Price of the
Properties on terms deemed satisfactory by Purchaser, and such lender shall have
until  July 15,  1998  (i) to  perform  its due  diligence  (including,  without
limitation, reviewing the Surveys, the Title Reports, and the results of the UCC
Search, and to otherwise satisfy itself that

                                     - 19 -





all conditions to loan funding are satisfied),  (ii) to prepare and approve loan
documentation  acceptable  to the  lender  and  Purchaser,  and (iii) to satisfy
itself that all conditions to loan funding have been satisfied  (conditions (i),
(ii) and (iii) referred to as the "Lender's Conditions").  If Purchaser does not
notify  Seller in writing on or prior to July 15, 1998 that it has not  obtained
the  Lender's  Commitment,  or that  Purchaser's  lender has not  satisfied  the
Lender's Conditions,  then the conditions of this subsection (5) shall be deemed
waived by Purchaser. If Purchaser notifies Seller in writing on or prior to July
15, 1998 that it has not obtained the Lender's  Commit ment or that  Purchaser's
lender has not  satisfied the Lender's  Conditions,  then this  Agreement  shall
become null and void and  terminated,  with neither  Purchaser nor Seller having
any further  obligation  to  consummate  this  Agreement or any liability to the
other party for the failure of this Agreement.  On any such  termination of this
Agreement, Purchaser shall be entitled to a return of its Earnest Money.

         (6) As a condition to Purchaser's  obligation to perform hereunder (and
not as a default), that there shall not have occurred at any time or times on or
before the Closing Date any taking or threatened taking of the Properties or any
part thereof or any interest or estate therein by  condemnation,  eminent domain
or similar proceed ings;  provided,  however,  Purchaser may elect to waive such
condition  in which case  Seller  shall  assign to  Purchaser  at Closing all of
Seller's  right,  title and interest in and to any proceeds  resulting  from any
such proceeding.

         (7) As a condition to Purchaser's obligation to perform hereunder, that
as of the  Closing  Date,  the  Property  Agreements  shall be in full force and
effect, unmodified and unwaived, and in good standing and free from default, and
there shall be no material changes in the operation of the Properties.

         (8) As a condition to Purchaser's  obligation to perform hereunder (and
not as a default), Seller shall obtain the consent or approval, at its sole cost
and expense,

                                     - 20 -





of all necessary  consents to assign all of Seller's right,  title, and interest
in and to the Land Leases to Purchaser (or its  designee),  and to assign all of
Seller's  right,  title,  and  interest in and to the  Franchise  Agreements  to
Purchaser (or its designee) provided, however, that Purchaser, not Seller, shall
be  responsible  for  paying  any  application  or  related  fee  imposed by the
franchisor under the franchise agreement  chargeable to new franchisees.  Seller
shall further obtain assurance,  reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser,  from any
lender whose loan is secured by the land  subject to the Land Leases,  that such
lender will not disturb the possessory rights of Purchaser under the Land Leases
as long as Purchaser is not in default  under the Land Leases.  The consents and
approvals   required  under  this  paragraph  shall  be  in  a  form  reasonably
satisfactory to Purchaser.

          (9)  Seller  covenants  and  agrees,  and it shall be a  condition  to
Purchaser's  obligation  to perform its  undertakings  hereunder,  that from and
after the date hereof, at all reasonable times, Purchaser (and its agents) shall
be  permitted  access to the  Properties  and to all books,  records and reports
relating to the  Properties  for the purpose of inspecting  same,  and Purchaser
(and its  agents)  shall  have the right to  photocopy  any and all such  books,
records  and  information.  All  information  relating  to the  Properties  made
available  to  Purchaser  and its  agents  shall  be  treated  as  confidential.
Purchaser  (and its  agents)  shall also have the right to meet with GMS and its
officers and  employees to discuss any matters  relating to the operation of the
Properties.  Any entry by Purchaser  and its agents on the  Properties  shall be
upon  reasonable  prior notice to Seller,  and the Purchaser  will indemnify and
hold Seller harmless against any and all injuries,  claims,  losses, damages and
expenses  arising out of its  negligence in the  performance  of any such entry,
inspection or other activities.

         (10) As a condition to Purchaser's obligation to perform hereunder (and
not as a default),  no written  notices of any  violation  of building  codes or
other govern mental regulations have been issued.


                                     - 21 -





         (11) As a condition to Seller's obligation to perform hereunder, Seller
shall have  obtained the approval by Seller's  limited  partners (1) to sell the
Properties to Purchaser pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and (2) to take
all other  actions  necessary  or  appropriate  to  consummate  the  transaction
contemplated by this Agreement.

         (12) As a condition to Seller's obligation to perform hereunder, Seller
shall have received,  in a form satisfactory to GMS, on or before June 30, 1998,
a fairness  opinion  from PKF  Consulting,  San  Francisco,  or other  qualified
independent real estate advisory or investment  banking firm, to the effect that
the sale of the Properties to Purchaser  pursuant to the terms and conditions of
this  Agreement is fair,  from a financial  point of view, to Seller.  If Seller
notifies  Purchaser  in  writing on or prior to June 30,  1998,  that is has not
obtained a fairness  opinion  satisfactory  to GMS,  then this  Agreement  shall
become  null and void,  with  neither  Purchaser  nor Seller  having any further
obligation to consummate  this Agreement or any liability to the other party for
the failure of this Agreement. If the Agreement is terminated as aforesaid, then
Purchaser shall be entitled to a return of its Earnest Money.

provisions  of this  Section;  and any portion  thereof  properly  allocable  to
periods subsequent to the Closing Date, if any, shall be paid to Purchaser.  Any

     8. Sales Tax. Seller hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless
from the  payment of any and all  sales,  occupancy,  use or other  taxes due in
connection  with the operation of the Properties  prior to the Closing Date. The
indemnification set forth herein shall survive the Closing.

     9. Taxes.  Purchaser shall receive a credit for any accrued but unpaid real
estate taxes imposed in respect of the Properties for the portion of the current
year which has elapsed prior to the Closing Date (and, to the extent unpaid, for
prior  years).  Seller  shall  also  give  Purchaser  a credit  for any  special
assessments which are due and payable in connection with the Properties prior to
Closing.

     10. Utilities.  Utilities and fuel, including,  without limitation,  water,
electricity, and gas shall be prorated as of Closing. The Seller shall cause the

meter reading for any utility is not available,  then adjustment  therefor shall
be made on the basis of the most recently  issued bills therefor which are based
on meter  readings no earlier  than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing  Date;
and such adjustment shall be prorated when the next utility bills are received.

     11. Employee Expenses.  Purchaser shall not be responsible for any wages or
benefits  payable to employees of the Motels  accruing prior to the Closing Date

regarding  continuation coverage rights, to the extent that it is required to do
so under applicable


                                     - 30 -





laws; provided,  however,  Purchaser  acknowledges that Seller is not giving any
notice under the Worker  Adjustment  and  Retraining Act and agrees to indemnify
Purchaser  and hold  Purchaser  harmless  from and against any and all costs and
expenses  incurred by  Purchaser  as a result of  Seller's  failure to give such
notice.

     12.  Purchaser  shall  receive a credit for any  reduction in the brokerage

         E. Staff.  Seller shall terminate or arrange for the termination of all
Motel  employees  as of the  Closing  Date and shall  pay all  wages and  fringe
benefits (including, but not limited to, accrued vacation pay and payroll taxes)
through the Closing  Date.  Purchaser  shall not be obligated to employ any such
Motel  employee,  but  may do so on such  terms  and for  such  compensation  as
Purchaser (and any such employee) deems appropriate.

                  Prior to Closing,  Seller shall deliver to Purchaser copies of
all information and records  necessary to support the prorations  hereunder.  In
the event any  prorations  made  pursuant  hereto shall prove  incorrect for any
reason  whatsoever,  either party shall be entitled to an  adjustment to correct
the same.


         F.  Expenses.  The Seller  shall pay (1) for all  documentary  transfer
taxes,  (2) the premium  attributable  to the standard  coverage  portion of the
"Owner's  Policies"  (defined below),  (3) the sales taxes arising in connection
with the sale of the  Personal  Property,  Consumables,  and FF & E by Seller to
Purchaser,  and (4) one-half of escrow fees and costs.  Purchaser  shall pay (1)
all costs  associated  with its due diligence  investigation,  (2) all recording
costs,  (3) the premium  attributable  to the extended  coverage  portion of the
Owner's Policies (and any endorsements or affirmative  coverages),  (4) one-half
of escrow fees and costs. Purchaser shall

                                     - 31 -





reimburse  Seller at Closing for the costs of any  appraisal  of the  Properties
obtained by Seller subsequent to the appraisals of PKF Consulting of December 4,
1997 and for the costs  incurred  by  Seller in  obtaining  any  engineering  or
environmental  studies or reports of the  Properties  in  preparation  for their
sale. Each party shall pay its own attorneys'  fees.  Seller and Purchaser shall
execute and deliver  such  transfer  and sales tax returns as may be required by
law.

     G. Title.  It shall be a condition of Closing that the Title  Company issue
to Purchaser,  in form and substance acceptable to Purchaser,  an owner's policy
of title  insurance for each Property (the "Owner's  Policies")  with  Purchaser
named as insured,  dated as of the Closing Date, with a liability limit equal to
the Purchase  Price  allocable to the  Property,  insuring that fee title to the
Improvements  and the leasehold  estate created by the Land Leases are vested in
Purchaser, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions and Tenant Leases.

                  Except with the prior written  approval of  Purchaser,  Seller
shall not deliver (nor cause or permit to be delivered) to the Title Company, on
behalf of the Seller,  any indemnities of the Seller relating to the issuance of
the Owner's Policies. If the Owner's Policies disclose any liens or encumbrances
which are not Permitted  Exceptions,  Purchaser may remove such liens at Closing
by  paying  so much of the  Purchase  Price to the  holders  of the  liens as is
necessary to do so.

     H. Guest  Property.  The parties shall arrange for Motel guests to sign new
deposit box or other  appropriate  receipts  on the day before the Closing  Date
with respect to baggage,  personal property,  laundry,  valet packages and other
property of Motel  guests  checked or left in the care of Seller by Motel guests
or tenants;  and, to the extent such  receipts are not  obtained,  such property
shall be sealed,  listed in an  inventory  prepared  and  signed  jointly by the
parties as of the Closing Date,  and  Purchaser  shall be  responsible  from and
after the Closing Date for all such property

                                     - 32 -





listed  in said  inventory.  Seller  shall  be  responsible  for all  items
allegedly left at the Properties by guests prior to Closing and not listed on 
such inventory.

         SECTION 8:   INDEMNIFICATION

                  Seller shall hold harmless, indemnify and defend the Purchaser
from and against:  (i) any and all obligations  to,  liabilities to or claims by
third parties,  whether direct,  contingent or  consequential  and no matter how
arising,  in any way  related to or  arising  from the  Properties  prior to the
Closing Date,  including,  but not limited to, for any injury to or death of any
person  or  damage  to any  property  of  third  parties;  (ii) any  claims  for

credit for such  commissions  at  Closing;  (iii) any wages,  salaries,  pension
liabilities or fringe benefits accruing prior to the Closing for those employees
at the Motels;  (iv) any and all obligations to, and liabilities to or claims by

of the conditions to its  obligations  hereunder by a written  waiver  expressly
detailing  the extent of such waiver (and no other  waiver or alleged  waiver by
such party shall be effective for any purpose).  No such waiver shall reduce the
rights or  remedies  of such party by reason of any breach by the other party of
any of its or their obligations hereunder.

         Seller has retained Everest Financial, Inc. as its broker in connection
with this  transaction  and shall be responsible  for the payment of a brokerage

Purchaser.  Everest  has agreed to reallow  1.25% of the  Purchase  Price of the

covenants,  obligations,  and  agreements  contained in or made pursuant to this
Agreement  shall  terminate  and be of no  further  force or effect on the first
anniversary  of the Closing  Date,  unless an action is brought  with respect to
such applicable warranty,  representa tion, covenant,  obligation,  or agreement
within such 12-month  period.  Purchaser  understands  that,  promptly after the
Closing,  Seller will make a distribution of the net proceeds realized by Seller
with respect to the sale of the  Properties  to Purchaser to Seller's  partners,
and that Seller's limited partners shall have no liability or responsi bility to
return distributions made to them. Purchaser further understands and agrees

                                     - 34 -





that the liability of GMS, as General  Partner of Seller,  for any obligation of
Seller  pursuant  to  Section 8 hereof,  shall be  limited  as set forth in this
Section 11 and shall be further  limited in an amount equal to GMS' share of any
distribution  made by Seller to its  partners of the  proceeds  from sale of the
Properties to Purchaser hereunder.

         Each  party  agrees  to use such  party's  best  efforts  to cause  the
conditions to  consummation of this Agreement to be satisfied and implemented as
soon as  practicable.  Each  party  will,  whenever  and as often as it shall be
requested so to do by the other, cause to be executed, acknowledged or delivered
any and all such  further  instruments  and  documents  as may be  necessary  or
proper, in the reasonable opinion of the requesting party, in order to carry out
the  intent  and  purpose  of this  Agreement  and as is  consistent  with  this
Agreement.

         SECTION 12:    NO THIRD PARTY BENEFITS

         This  Agreement is made for the sole  benefit of  Purchaser  and Seller
(and Seller's partners) and their respective  successors and assigns (subject to
the limitation on assignment set forth in Section 15 below), and no other person
or persons  shall have any right or remedy or other  legal  interest of any kind
under or by reason of this Agreement.  Whether or not either party hereto elects
to employ any or all the rights,  powers, or remedies available to it hereunder,
such party shall have no  obligation or liability of any kind to any third party
by reason of this  Agreement  or by reason  of any of such  party's  actions  or
omissions  pursuant hereto or otherwise in connection with this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby.

         SECTION 13:    REMEDIES

         If Seller shall default hereunder prior to Closing,  Purchaser shall be
entitled,  as  its  sole  and  exclusive  remedies,  to  (i)  sue  for  specific
performance  of this  Agreement,  or (ii) terminate  this  Agreement,  receive a
refund of the  Earnest  Money and  recover  damages  in an amount  not to exceed
$50,000;  provided,  however,  in exercising its right of specific  performance,
Purchaser  may not  require  Seller to spend in excess of $50,000 to correct any
matter which Seller did not deliberately  cause. After Closing,  Purchaser shall
be  entitled  to any other  rights  and  remedies  it may have at law or equity,
subject to the  restrictions  thereon set forth in this Agreement.  If Purchaser
shall default  hereunder,  Seller's sole and exclusive remedy shall be to retain
the Earnest Money as liquidated damages.

         SECTION 14:  TERMINATION


         This Agreement may be terminated --

           (i)    By mutual written consent of Seller and Purchaser;

          (ii) By either  Seller or  Purchaser  by  written  notice to the other
party if the  transaction  contemplated  hereby has not been  consummated  on or
before the Closing Date as defined in Section 1(B)  hereof;  provided,  however,
that the right to terminate  this  Agreement  under this Section 14 shall not be
available  to any party whose  failure to fulfill any of its  obligations  under
this  Agreement  has been the cause of or has  resulted  in the  failure  of the
transaction contemplated hereby being consummated on or before the Closing Date;
or

         (iii) By Purchaser or by Seller if one or more of the Purchase and Sale
Agreements  entered  concurrently  herewith by Purchaser for the purchase of the
motel

Economy  Lodging IV, Ltd., and Famous Host Lodging V, L.P. is terminated for any
reason other than Purchaser's or Seller's (as the case may be) breach thereof.

                  If this Agreement is terminated  pursuant to the provisions of
this Section 14, then and in such event this  Agreement  shall be null and void,
neither party shall have any obligation or liability to the other, and Purchaser
shall be entitled to the return of its Earnest Money.

         SECTION 15:   MISCELLANEOUS

         This  Agreement  (including  all Exhibits  hereto)  contains the entire
agreement  between  the  parties  respecting  the  matters  herein set forth and
supersedes  all prior  agreements  between the parties  hereto  respecting  such
matters.  The  table of  contents  and  section  headings  shall  not be used in
construing this Agreement.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 13 above, no
remedy  conferred  upon a party in this Agreement is intended to be exclusive of
any other  remedy  herein or by law  provided  or  permitted,  but each shall be
cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now
or  hereafter  existing  at law or in  equity  or by  statute.  Except as herein
expressly  provided,  no waiver by a party of any breach of this Agreement or of
any warranty or  representation  hereunder by the other party shall be deemed to
be a waiver of any other  breach  by such  other  party  (whether  preceding  or
succeeding  and whether or not of the same or similar  nature) and no acceptance
of payment or  performance  by a party after any breach by the other party shall
be  deemed  to  be  a  waiver  of  any  breach  of  this  Agreement  or  of  any
representation  or warranty  hereunder  by such other  party  whether or not the
first  party  knows  of such  breach  at the time it  accepts  such  payment  or
performance. No failure or delay by a party to exercise any right it may have by
reason of the default of the other party shall operate as a waiver of default or
modification of this Agreement or shall prevent the

                                     - 37 -





exercise of any right by the first party while the other party  continues  to be
so in default. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with
the laws of the State of California.  Purchaser may assign its rights under this
Agreement  to an affiliate of  Purchaser  without the prior  written  consent of
Seller  (in which  event the  transferee  shall  assume  in  writing  all of the
transferor's  obligations  hereunder).  Subject to the preceding sentence,  this
Agreement  shall be binding  upon and shall  inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto and their  respective  successors  and assigns.  The  provisions  of this
Agreement  may not be  amended,  changed  or  modified  orally,  but  only by an
agreement in writing signed by the party against whom any amend ment,  change or
modification is sought.
