16. Bankruptcy of Borrower. Borrower, as a material inducement to Lender
----------------------
to enter into this Agreement, and in consideration of the mutual covenants
contained in this Agreement,
12
and for other good and valuable consideration, by its execution hereof covenants
and agrees that in the event Borrower shall (a) file any petition with any
bankruptcy court or be the subject of any petition under the United States
Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. (S)101 et seq., the "Code"), (b) file or be the
------
subject of any petition seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition,
readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, or similar relief under any present or
future federal or state act or law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, or other
relief for debtors, (c) have sought or consented to or acquiesced in the
appointment of any trustee, receiver, conservator, or liquidator, or (d) be the
subject of any order, judgment, or decree entered by any court of competent
jurisdiction approving a petition filed against such party for any
reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation,
dissolution, or similar relief under any present or future federal or state act
or law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, or relief for debtors, Lender shall
thereupon be entitled, and Borrower irrevocably consents, to the entry of an
order by a bankruptcy court granting to Lender relief from any automatic stay
imposed by Section 362 of the Code, or otherwise, on or against the exercise of
the rights and remedies otherwise available to Lender as provided in the Loan
Documents, this Agreement or as otherwise provided by law or in equity, and
Borrower hereby irrevocably waives its right to object to, attempt to enjoin or
otherwise interfere with such relief and the exercise and enforcement by Lender
of its rights and remedies following entry of such order. Without limiting the
generality of the immediately preceding sentence, Borrower agrees that Lender
will be entitled to and hereby consents to immediate relief from the automatic
stay imposed by the Code to allow Lender to take any and all actions necessary,
desirable or appropriate to enforce any rights Lender may have under the Loan
Documents, including, but not limited to, the right to possession of the
Properties, collection of rents, and/or the commencement or continuation of an
action to foreclose Lender's liens and security interests. Borrower further
agrees that the filing of any petition for relief under the Code by Borrower,
without unanimous consent of its limited liability company managers, which
postpones, prevents, delays, or otherwise hinders Lender's efforts to collect
the amounts due under the Note or to liquidate any of the collateral therefor
shall be deemed to have been filed in bad faith and, therefore, shall be subject
to prompt dismissal or conversion to a case under Chapter 7 of the Code upon
motion therefor by Lender. Further, Borrower agrees that it will not seek, apply
for or cause the entry of any order enjoining, staying, or otherwise prohibiting
or interfering with Lender's obtaining an order granting relief from the
automatic stay and enforcement of any rights which Lender may have under the
Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, Lender's right to possession of
the Properties, collection of rents and/or the commencement or continuation of
an action to foreclose Lender's liens and security interests under the Loan
Documents.
17. Compliance With Interest Law. It is the intention of Borrower and
----------------------------
Lender to conform strictly to the Interest Law (herein defined). Accordingly,
Borrower and Lender agree that any provisions contained in the Note or in any of
the other Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the aggregate of all
interest, or consideration constituting interest under the Interest Law, that is
taken, reserved, contracted for, charged or received under the Note or under any
of the aforesaid documents or otherwise in connection with this loan transaction
shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount of interest allowed by
the Interest Law. If any excess interest is provided for in the Note or in any
of the other Loan Documents, then (a) the provisions of this paragraph shall
govern and control, (b) neither Borrower nor Borrower's successors or assigns
shall be obligated to pay the amount of such interest to the extent that it is
in excess of the maximum amount of interest allowed by the Interest Law, (c) any
such excess
13
shall be deemed a mistake and canceled automatically and, if theretofore paid,
shall be credited against the indebtedness (or if the Note shall have been paid
in full, refunded to Borrower), and (d) the effective rate of interest shall be
automatically subject to reduction to the Maximum Legal Rate of Interest (as
hereinafter defined). To the extent permitted by the Interest Law, all sums paid
or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the
indebtedness shall be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the
full term of the Note. For purposes of the Note, "Interest Law" shall mean any
present or future law of the State of Maryland (meaning the internal laws of
said state and not the laws of said state relating to choice of law), the United
States of America or any other jurisdiction, which has application to the
interest and other charges under the Note or under any of the other Loan
Documents and to the classification of Borrower under such law. For purposes of
the Note, the "Maximum Legal Rate of Interest" shall mean the maximum effective
contract rate of interest that Lender may from time to time, by agreement with
the Borrower, legally charge Borrower and in regard to which Borrower would be
prevented from successfully raising the claim or defense of usury under the
Interest Law as now or hereafter construed by courts of appropriate
jurisdiction.
18. Terms Generally. (a) Each definition contained in this or any other
---------------
Article of this Agreement shall apply equally to both the singular and plural
form of the term defined. Each pronoun shall include the masculine, the
feminine and neuter form, whichever is appropriate to the context. The words
"included", "includes" and "including" shall each be deemed to be followed by
the phrase, "without limitation." The words, "herein", "hereby", "hereof", and
"hereunder" shall each be deemed to refer to this entire Agreement and not to
any particular Article or Section hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any
law is amended so as to broaden the meaning of any term defined in it, such
broader meaning shall apply subsequent to the effective date of such amendment.
Where a defined term derives its meaning from a statutory reference, any
regulatory definition is broader than the statutory reference and any reference
or citation to a statute or regulation shall be deemed to include any amendments
to that statute or regulation and judicial and administrative interpretations of
it, and (b) the following terms shall have the respective meanings ascribed to
them in the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted and in force in the State of
Maryland: accessions, accounts, continuation statement, equipment, financing
statement, fixtures, general intangibles, personal property, proceeds, security
interest and security agreement.
19. Securities Act of 1933. Neither Borrower nor any agent acting for
----------------------
Borrower has offered the Note or any similar obligation of Borrower for sale to
or solicited any offers to buy the Note or any similar obligation of Borrower
from any person or party other than Lender, and neither Borrower nor any agent
acting for Borrower will take any action which would subject the sale of the
Note to the provisions of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
20. Compliance with ERISA. Borrower is not and will not be an "employee
---------------------
benefit plan" as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), which is subject to plans for
-----
purposes of Title I of ERISA, and none of the transactions contemplated hereby
will result in a "governmental plan" within the meaning of Section 3(32) of
ERISA and transactions by Borrower are not and will not be subject to state
statutes regulating investments and fiduciary obligations with respect to
governmental plans.
14
21. Documentation Requirements, Sufficiency of Consents and Approvals.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Each written instrument required by this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents to be furnished to Lender shall be duly executed by the person or
party specified (or where no particular person or party is specified, by such
person or party as Lender shall require), duly acknowledged where required by
Lender and, in the case of affidavits and similar sworn instruments, duly sworn
to and subscribed before a notary public duly authorized to act in the premises
by governmental authority; shall be furnished to Lender in one or more copies as
required by Lender; and shall in all respects be in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Lender and its legal counsel. All title policies,
surveys, appraisals, and other evidence, information or documentation required
by Lender shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender and
its legal counsel in all respects.
22. Evidentiary Requirements. Where evidence of the existence or non-
------------------------
existence of any circumstance or condition is required by this Agreement to be
furnished to Lender, such evidence shall in all respects be in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender.
23. Number, Order and Captions Immaterial. The numbering, order and
-------------------------------------
captions or headings of the several articles, sections and paragraphs of this
Agreement, the Note, the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents are for
convenience of reference only and shall not be considered in construing such
instruments.
24. Modifications. Neither this Agreement, nor any term or provision
-------------
hereof, may be changed, discharged or terminated, except by an instrument in
writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, discharge or
termination is sought.
25. General Provisions.
------------------
a. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws
-------------

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

limitation, actions for damages or specific performance;

and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys'

as a result thereof;
15
e. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and
------------
acknowledged in any number of separate counterparts, each of which,
when so executed and delivered, together shall be deemed an original,

and the same agreement. All signatures need not be on the same
counterpart. Each individual executing this Agreement in a
representative capacity has been duly authorized to do so by all
appropriate action;
f. Further Assurances. Each of the parties hereto agrees to
------------------
execute and deliver all such documents and instruments, and do all
such other acts and things, as may be reasonably required in the
future to perfect, assure, confirm or effectuate the provisions of
this Agreement;

grant participations in all or any part of, or any interest in
Lender's rights and benefits hereunder and under the Loan Documents,
or any of them.

RELATED TO OR CONTEMPLATED IN THE MORTGAGES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH ACTION
OR PROCEEDING CONCERNS ANY CONTRACTUAL OR TORTIOUS OR OTHER CLAIM. BORROWER
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO LENDER'S
CONSENT TO THE TRANSFER AND THE LEASING AND THAT LENDER WOULD NOT HAVE CONSENTED
TO THE TRANSFER AND THE LEASING WITHOUT THIS JURY TRIAL WAIVER. BORROWER
REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT IT HAS BEEN REPRESENTED BY AN ATTORNEY OR HAS HAD
AN OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH AN ATTORNEY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT AND
UNDERSTAND THE LEGAL EFFECT OF THIS JURY TRIAL WAIVER.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND AGREEMENT OF THE BORROWER PRINCIPALS TO
PERSONAL LIABILITY FOR THE EXCEPTIONS TO NON-RECOURSE
Apple Hospitality Two, Inc., a Virginia corporation ("AHT"), and Apple

ownership interest in the Borrower.

the Note. No transfer of AHT's ownership interest in the Borrower or in any
other entity which directly or indirectly has an ownership interest in the
Borrower shall release either Borrower Principal from liability hereunder,
unless the Lender shall have approved the transfer. No such Borrower Principal
shall exercise any right of subrogation against the Borrower by reason of any
payment by the Borrower Principal pursuant to the Note, including without
limitation, Sections 7 and 8 of the Note, prior to the full and final
satisfaction of the Note and all other obligations of the Borrower under the
Loan Documents.

of Default has occurred under any of the Loan Documents, if at any time after
twenty-four (24) months from the Closing, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio (as
defined in the Loan Agreement) for the Trailing Twelve Months (as hereinafter
defined) exceeds 2.50 to 1 (such time being referred to herein as the "Apple
Suites Release Date"), then, from and after the Apple Suites Release Date, Apple
Suites shall have no further liability under the Note, including without
limitation, Sections 7 and 8 of the Note (it being understood that Apple Suites
shall continue to be liable under Sections 7 and 8 of the Note for claims
arising prior to the Apple Suites Release Date). For purposes hereof, "Trailing
Twelve Months" shall mean the twelve (12) month period ending with the last
calendar day of the month preceding the date that Apple Suites furnished Lender
with an approved written request for release from liability in accordance with
the terms of this paragraph.
