(a) The Managing Dealer will use every reasonable effort, to the extent it sells Shares to investors, to assure that any such Shares are sold only to investors who: (i) meet the investor suitability standards, including the minimum income and net worth standard established by the Company, and minimum purchase requirements set forth in the Registration Statement; (ii) can reasonably benefit from the Company based on the prospective investor's overall investment objectives and portfolio structure; (iii) are able to bear the economic risk of the investment based on each prospective investor's overall financial situation; and (iv) have apparent understanding of: (A) the fundamental risks of the investment; (B) the risk that the prospective investor may lose the entire investment; (C) the lack of liquidity of the Shares; (D) the restrictions on transferability of the Shares; (E) the background and qualifications of the officers and directors of CNL Hospitality Corp., the advisor to the Company (the "Advisor"); and (F) the tax consequences of an investment in the Shares. (b) The Managing Dealer will make the determinations required to be made by it pursuant to Paragraph 3.4(a) above based on information it has obtained from a prospective investor, including, at a minimum, but not limited to the prospective investor's age, investment objectives, investment experience, income, net worth, financial situation, other investments of the prospective investor, as well as any other pertinent factors deemed by the Managing Dealer to be relevant. (c) The Managing Dealer shall maintain such records evidencing compliance with the determination of the investor suitability standards and minimum purchase requirements set forth in the Registration Statement, as required by Paragraphs 3.4(a) and 3.4(b) above for a period of not less than six (6) years, or for such greater time period as shall comply with all applicable federal, state and other regulatory requirements. (d) In addition to the foregoing, the Managing Dealer shall comply fully with all the applicable provisions of the NASD's Conduct Rules and the following provisions: (i) the Managing Dealer shall have reasonable grounds to believe, based upon information provided by the investor concerning his investment objectives, other investments, financial situation and needs, and upon any other information known by the Managing Dealer, that (A) each investor to whom the Managing Dealer sells Shares is or will be in a financial position appropriate to enable him to realize to a significant extent the benefits (including tax benefits) of an investment in the Shares, (B) each investor to whom the Managing Dealer sells Shares has a fair market net worth sufficient to sustain the risks inherent in an investment in the Shares (including potential loss and lack of liquidity), and (C) the Shares otherwise are or will be a suitable investment for each investor to whom the Managing Dealer sells Shares, and the Managing Dealer shall maintain files disclosing the basis upon which the determination of suitability was made; (ii) the Managing Dealer shall not execute any transaction involving the purchase of Shares in a discretionary account without prior written approval of the transaction by the investor; (iii) the Managing Dealer shall have reasonable grounds to believe, based upon the information made available to it, that all material facts are adequate and accurately disclosed in the Registration Statement and provide a basis for evaluating the Shares; (iv) in making the determination set forth in item (iii) above, the Managing Dealer shall evaluate items of compensation, properties, tax aspects, financial stability and experience of the sponsor, conflicts of interest and risk factors, and any other information deemed pertinent by it; and (v) prior to executing a purchase transaction in the Shares, the Managing Dealer shall have informed the prospective investor of all pertinent facts relating to the liquidity and marketability of the Shares. (e) The Managing Dealer shall comply with the requirements for determining the suitability of investors who elect to participate in the Reinvestment Plan (the "Reinvestment Plan") in accordance with the procedure set forth in Paragraph 6 of such Reinvestment Plan in the form of Appendix A to the Prospectus. 3.5 Sales Literature. The Managing Dealer shall use and distribute in conjunction with the offer and sale of any Shares only the Prospectus and such sales literature and advertising as shall have been previously approved in writing by the Company. 3.6 Jurisdictions. The Managing Dealer shall cause Shares to be offered and sold only in those jurisdictions specified in writing by the Company for whose account Shares are then offered for sale, and such list of jurisdictions shall be updated by the Company as additional states are added. The Company shall specify only such jurisdictions in which the offering and sale of its Shares has been authorized by appropriate State Regulatory Authorities. No Shares shall be offered or sold for the account of the Company in any other states. 3.7 Escrow. All funds received by the Managing Dealer for the sale of Shares shall be deposited in an escrow account established by the Company at SouthTrust Bank. (the "Escrow Agent"), by the close of the first business day following receipt of such funds by the Managing Dealer. Such escrow account shall be denominated "ESCROW ACCOUNT FOR THE BENEFIT OF SUBSCRIBERS FOR COMMON STOCK OF CNL HOSPITALITY PROPERTIES, INC." Checks may be made payable to either the Escrow Agent or the Company. The Managing Dealer may authorize certain Participating Brokers which are "$250,000 broker-dealers" to instruct their customers to make their checks for Shares subscribed for payable directly to the Participating Broker. In such case, the Soliciting Dealer will collect the proceeds of the subscribers' checks and issue a check made payable to the order of the Escrow Agent for the aggregate amount of the subscription proceeds. SECTION 4 COMPENSATION 4.1 Commissions. (a) The Company shall pay to the Managing Dealer, as compensation for all services to be rendered by the Managing Dealer pursuant to this Agreement, a commission equal to seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of the selling price of each Share for which a sale is completed, regardless of whether such Share is sold by the Managing Dealer or a Participating Broker; provided, however, that the Company will pay reduced commissions or may eliminate commissions on certain sales of Shares, including the reduction or elimination of commissions in accordance with, and on the terms set forth in, the Prospectus and the following paragraph of this Paragraph 4.1, which reduction or elimination of commissions will not change the net proceeds to the Company. Stockholders who elect to participate in the Reinvestment Plan will be charged commissions on Shares purchased for their accounts on the same basis as investors who otherwise purchase Shares in the Offering. (b) A registered principal or representative of the Managing Dealer or a Participating Broker, employees, officers, and directors of the Company or the Advisor, any of their Affiliates (and the families of any of the foregoing persons), and any Plan (as defined in the Prospectus) established exclusively for the benefit of such persons or entities may purchase Shares net of 7% commissions, at a per Share purchase price of $9.30. In addition, clients of an investment adviser registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, who have been advised by such adviser on an ongoing basis regarding investments other than in the Company, and who are not being charged by such adviser or its Affiliates, through payment of commissions or otherwise, for the advice rendered by such adviser in connection with the purchase of the Shares, may purchase the Shares net of commissions. In addition, brokers that have a contractual arrangement with their clients for the payment of fees which is inconsistent with accepting selling commissions may elect not to accept any selling commissions offered by the Company for Shares that they sell. In that event, such Shares shall be sold to the investor net of all selling commissions, at a per share purchase price of $9.30. 4.2 Marketing Support and Due Diligence. The Company shall pay to the Managing Dealer an amount equal to up to one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) of the selling price of each Share for which a sale is completed, regardless of whether such Share is sold by the Managing Dealer or a Participating Broker, as reimbursements for bona fide due diligence expenses incurred. All due diligence expense reimbursements shall be paid by the Managing Dealer from this amount. The Company shall pay to the Managing Dealer a nonaccountable fee for assistance in selling and marketing the Shares equal to one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the selling price of each Share for which a sale is completed, regardless of whether such Share is sold by the Managing Dealer or a Participating Broker. 4.3 Completed Sale. (a) A sale of a Share shall be deemed to be completed under Paragraph 4.1 if and only if (i) the Company has received a properly completed and executed subscription agreement, together with payment of the full purchase price of each purchased Share, from or, in accordance with Paragraph 3.3(a), on behalf of an investor who satisfies the applicable suitability standards and minimum purchase requirements set forth in the Registration Statement as determined by the Managing Dealer in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; (ii) the Company has accepted such subscription; and (iii) such investor has been admitted as a stockholder of the Company. (b) The Managing Dealer hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, may accept or reject any subscription, in whole or in part, for any reason whatsoever, and no commission will be paid to the Managing Dealer with respect to that portion of any subscription which is rejected. 4.4 Payment. Except as provided in "The Offering -- Plan of Distribution" of the Prospectus, the commissions specified in Paragraph 4.1 for the sale of any Share shall be payable in cash by the Company, as specified in Paragraph 4.1, no later than the end of the calendar month in which the investor subscribing for the Share is admitted as a stockholder of the Company. Investors whose subscriptions for Shares are accepted shall be admitted no later than the end of the calendar month in which such subscriptions are accepted. The Company will accept or reject all subscriptions within 30 days after receipt. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that the Company pays any commission to the Managing Dealer for sale by a Participating Broker of one or more Shares and the subscription is rescinded as to one or more of the Shares covered by such subscription, the Company shall decrease the next payment of commissions or other compensation otherwise payable to the Managing Dealer by the Company under this Agreement by an amount equal to the commission rate established in Paragraph 4.1 of this Agreement, multiplied by the number of Shares as to which the subscription is rescinded. In the event that no payment of commissions or other compensation is due to the Managing Dealer after such withdrawal occurs, the Managing Dealer shall pay the amount specified in the preceding sentence to the Company within ten (10) days following receipt of notice by the Managing Dealer from the Company stating the amount owed as a result of rescinded subscriptions. Certain stockholders may agree with their participating Soliciting Dealer and the Managing Dealer to have Selling Commissions relating to their Shares paid over a five year period pursuant to a deferred commission arrangement (the "Deferred Commission Option"). Stockholders electing the Deferred Commission Option will be required to pay a total of $9.60 per Share purchased upon subscription, rather than $10.00 per Share, with respect to which $0.35 per Share will be payable as Selling Commissions due upon subscription, $0.30 of which may be reallowed to the Soliciting Dealer by the Managing Dealer. For each of the four (4) years following such subscription (or for such four (4) year period commencing at a later date agreed upon by the Managing Dealer and the Soliciting Dealer) on a date to be determined by the Managing Dealer, $0.10 per Share will be paid by the Company as deferred Selling Commissions with respect to Shares sold pursuant to the Deferred Commission Option, which amounts will be deducted from and paid out of distributions otherwise payable to such stockholders holding such Shares and may be reallowed to the Soliciting Dealer by the Managing Dealer. The net proceeds to the Company will not be affected by the election of the Deferred Commission Option. Under this arrangement, a stockholder electing the Deferred Commission Option will pay a one-percent (1%) Selling Commission per year thereafter for four (4) years which will be deducted from and paid by the Company out of distributions otherwise payable to such stockholder. At such time, if any, that the Company's Shares are listed on a national securities exchange or over-the-counter market, the Company shall have the right to require the acceleration of all outstanding payment obligations under the Deferred Commission Option. 4.5 Sales Incentives. The Company or its Affiliates also may provide incentive items for registered representatives of the Managing Dealer and the Participating Brokers, which in no event shall exceed an aggregate of $100 per annum per participating salesperson. In the event other incentives are provided to registered representatives of the Managing Dealer or the Participating Brokers, they will only be paid in cash and such payments will only be made to the Managing Dealer or the Participating Brokers rather than their registered representatives. Before any such sales incentive program is offered, the Company agrees to obtain prior approval of the terms of such program from the NASD. 4.6 Wholesaling Compensation. The Company hereby acknowledges that the Managing Dealer may pay each of its wholesalers one percent (1%) of the gross sales price (computed at $10.00 per Share) of all Shares sold in such wholesaler's geographic territory (as the same may be established from time to time by agreement between the Managing Dealer and one or more of its wholesalers) but not in excess, in the aggregate, of one percent (1%) of the gross sales price (computed at $10.00 per Share) of all Shares sold, or a maximum of 175,000,000 Shares. The Company and the Managing Dealer hereby agree that the Company shall have no obligation to pay any portion of such amounts. The Company hereby agrees to reimburse reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that such wholesalers incur in connection with the distribution of its Shares; provided, however, that in no event will the Managing Dealer or the Company pay any amounts to any person if (i) such amounts constitute "underwriting compensation," and (ii) payment of such amounts could cause total underwriting compensation paid to underwriters, broker-dealers, or affiliates thereof from any source, and deemed to be in connection with or related to the distribution of the Offering, to exceed then-applicable compensation NASD guidelines. 4.7 Soliciting Dealer Servicing Fee. The Company shall pay to the Managing Dealer an annual servicing fee (the "Soliciting Dealer Servicing Fee") of .20% of the Company's Invested Capital (as defined below) on December 31 of each year, commencing in the year following the year in which the Offering terminates, subject to any limitations imposed on the Company by the NASD, state securities regulators or otherwise. The Managing Dealer may reallow all or a portion of the Soliciting Dealer Servicing Fee to Participating Brokers whose clients hold Shares on December 31 of the applicable year. In general, Invested Capital is the amount of cash contributed by stockholders to the Company, reduced by certain prior capital distributions to the stockholders from the sale of the Company's properties. The Soliciting Dealer Servicing Fee will terminate as of the beginning of any year in which the Company is liquidated or the Shares become listed on a national securities exchange or over-the-counter market. SECTION 5 TERM OF AGREEMENT 5.1 Commencement and Expiration. This Agreement shall commence as of the date first above written and, unless sooner terminated pursuant to Paragraph 5.2 or by operation of law or otherwise, shall expire at the end of the Offering Period. 5.2 Termination.

(b) In addition to any other obligations of the Company that survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement, the Company, upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, shall pay to the Managing Dealer all commissions to which the Managing Dealer is or becomes entitled under Section 4 at such time or times as such commissions become payable pursuant to Paragraph 4.3.
