The Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Guarantors and the Borrowers desire to amend the Credit Agreement upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the Recitals and the mutual promises contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Borrowers, the Guarantors, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

SECTION 2. Amendments. The Credit Agreement is hereby amended as set forth in this Section 2.

SECTION 2.01. Amendment to Section 1.01. The definitions of “Asset Value” and “Termination Date” set forth in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement are amended and restated to read in their entirety as follows:

“Asset Value” shall be determined as of the end of each Fiscal Quarter and shall mean for: (a) a Stabilized Eligible Property or Stabilized Hotel Property, (i) the NOI of such Property for the Fiscal Quarter then ending and the immediately preceding three Fiscal Quarters divided by (ii) 8.5%; and (b) a Newly Acquired Hotel Property, the Net Book Value of such Newly Acquired Hotel Property, plus accumulated depreciation.

(a) “Applicable Margin” shall be determined quarterly based upon the Total Leverage Ratio (calculated as of the last day of each Fiscal Quarter), as follows:

The Applicable Margin shall be determined effective as of the date (herein, the “Rate Determination Date”) which is 50 days after the last day of the Fiscal Quarter as of the end of which the foregoing ratio is being determined, based on the quarterly financial statements for such Fiscal Quarter, and the Applicable Margin so determined shall remain effective from such Rate Determination Date until the date which is 50 days after the last day of the Fiscal Quarter in which such Rate Determination Date falls (which latter date shall be a new Rate Determination Date); provided that (i) for the period from and including August 1, 2007, to but excluding the Rate Determination Date next following August 1, 2007, the Applicable Margin shall be (A) 0% for Base Rate Advances, and (B) 2.125% for Euro-Dollar Advances and Letter of Credit Advances, (ii) in the case of any Applicable Margin determined for the fourth and final Fiscal Quarter of a Fiscal Year, the Rate Determination Date shall be the date which is 95 days after the last day of such final Fiscal Quarter and such Applicable Margin shall be determined based upon the annual audited financial statements for the Fiscal Year ended on the last day of such final Fiscal Quarter, and (iii) if on any Rate Determination Date the Borrower shall have failed to deliver to the Lenders the financial statements required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) or Section 5.01(b) with respect to the Fiscal Year or Fiscal Quarter, as the case may be, most recently ended prior to such Rate Determination Date, then for the period beginning on such Rate Determination Date and ending on the earlier of (A) the date on which the Borrowers shall deliver to the Lenders the financial statements to be delivered

pursuant to Section 5.01(b) with respect to such Fiscal Quarter or any subsequent Fiscal Quarter, or (B) the date on which the Borrowers shall deliver to the Lenders annual financial statements required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(a) with respect to the Fiscal Year which includes such Fiscal Quarter or any subsequent Fiscal Year, the Applicable Margin shall be determined as if the Total Leverage Ratio was more than 0.40 at all times during such period; provided that at the election of the Required Lenders, the principal amount of the Advances shall bear interest at the Default Rate. Any change in the Applicable Margin on any Rate Determination Date shall result in a corresponding change, effective on and as of such Rate Determination Date, in the interest rate applicable to each Advance and in the fees applicable to each Letter of Credit on such Rate Determination Date; provided, that no Applicable Margin shall be decreased pursuant to this Section 2.06 if a Default is in existence on the Rate Determination Date.
