cause such partnership to acquire, refurbish, operate and sell such
hotel, all upon and subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter
set forth.
IN VIEW OF THE FOREGOING FACTS, and in consideration of the
respective undertakings of the parties hereto, it is hereby agreed
as follows:
ARTICLE I FORMATION AND FINANCING OF PARTNERSHIP
Section 1.1 Formation of Partnership. On the "Closing Date"
(as hereinafter defined), Operator Subsidiary, Developer and
Investor shall enter into a partnership agreement (the "Partnership
Agreement") of RW Hotel Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership (the "Partnership"), in substantially the form of
Exhibit "B", which shall be effective, if at all, if and only if the
"Closing" (as hereinafter defined) occurs.
Section 1.2 Business Plan and Budgets. The Partnership
Agreement contemplates a "Business Plan", an "Operating Budget" and
a "Rehab Budget". Such items are to be completed and attached as an
exhibit to the Partnership Agreement, but have not yet been
completed as of the date hereof. Developer shall use diligent
efforts to prepare such items for submission to Investor for its
approval and to finalize the same as promptly as possible in a
manner satisfactory to all parties hereto.
Section 1.3 Obligation to Seek Credit Facility. Developer
shall use diligent efforts to obtain on behalf of the Partnership a
credit facility in accordance with the terms (the "Required
Financing Terms") set forth on Exhibit "C". A credit facility that
complies with each of the Required Financing Terms (excluding any
deviation therefrom specifically approved in writing by Investor) is
herein called a "Qualified Credit Facility". However, no
application, commitment or other loan document obligating the
Partnership or its partners to pay any fees, costs or other amounts
shall be executed without the prior written consent of Investor. If
the Partnership obtains a Qualified Credit Facility, it shall be
herein called the "Project Financing".
ARTICLE II ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY
Section 2.1 Incorporation of Definitions From Purchase
Agreement. The following terms shall have the meanings specified
for the same in the Purchase Agreement: "Closing Date" (except that
the Closing Date under this Agreement shall not include any
extension of the Closing Date under the Purchase Agreement that has
not been approved in writing by Investor), "Escrow Agent",
"Examination Period", "Deposit", "Property" and "Seller".
Section 2.2 Other Definitions.
"Closing" means the closing of the purchase under the Purchase
Agreement and the closing of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.
Section 2.3 Existing Documents re Deposit. The following
documents have been entered into in connection with the Deposit:
A. That certain agreement (the "Deposit Agreement") captioned
"DEPOSIT AGREEMENT", dated as of July 10, 1995, between Operator and
Farallon Capital Partners, a California limited partnership ("FCP"),
as amended by a letter agreement dated August 11, 1995; and
B. That certain promissory note (the "Deposit Note")
captioned "PROMISSORY NOTE", in the original principal amount of
$200,000, dated as of July 10, 1995.
Section 2.4 Action Taken Under Purchase Agreement. With
respect to the Purchase Agreement, the following provisions shall
apply:
A. Generally. At all times between the date hereof and the
Closing, Developer shall not give any notice, take any action or
waive any matter under the Purchase Agreement except with the prior
written consent of Investor. The parties will use reasonable
efforts to cooperate in order to meet any time deadlines for
consents by the "Buyer" under the Purchase Agreement. Developer and
Investor agree to cooperate in their due diligence efforts, and
without limitation on the foregoing, Developer shall supply Investor
with such information relating to the Property as Investor may
reasonably request from time to time (to the extent obtainable).
B. Due Diligence. During the Examination Period, Developer
shall perform such environmental, land use, financial, operational,
physical, legal, title, survey, contractual and other due diligence
as is customarily done by an institutional purchaser (and, without
limitation, such due diligence shall be conducted with a view
towards satisfying a provider of a Qualified Credit Facility). Such
due diligence shall include each of the items described on Exhibit
"D" and, without limitation on the foregoing, an inspection and
review of all books and records of the Property (including financial
records for 1993, 1994 and 1995 year to date), an inspection and
review of all required licenses and permits and their assignability,
a physical inspection of the condition of the Property, an analysis
of the demographics in the area, an inspection and review of the
hotel servicing and administrative operations, and an interview of
the personnel at the hotel. Developer shall complete its due
diligence and report its findings to Investor in writing at least
five business days prior to the end of the Examination Period. All
such due diligence shall be conducted in a professional manner in
compliance with the Purchase Agreement and the "Requirements" (as
defined in the Partnership Agreement) and Developer shall indemnify
and defend Investor and the Partnership, and each of them, from any
claims (and resulting liability, costs and expenses including
attorneys' fees) arising from the manner in which such due diligence
is conducted by them (such as claims for property damage, physical
injury and claims for indemnification by the seller under the
Purchase Agreement) to the extent the same are not fully covered by
the Partnership's insurance.
C. Pre Formation Due Diligence Costs. Developer shall
advance all reasonable due diligence costs incurred pursuant to this
Agreement prior to the execution of the Partnership Agreement and
the closing of the acquisition of the Property by the Partnership.
Upon any such acquisition, Developer shall be reimbursed at the
closing for the reasonable due diligence costs associated with the
Property. If the Property is not acquired by the Partnership
pursuant to this Agreement for any reason, Developer shall be solely
responsible for all due diligence and other costs incurred in
connection with the Property.
D. Business Plan/Budgets. During the Examination Period,
Developer shall prepare a draft Business Plan, a draft Operating
Budget and a draft Rehab Budget for the Property and submit the same
to Investor for its approval, and shall use diligent efforts to
finalize the same in a manner satisfactory to all parties.
E. Deposit. Investor has previously advanced to Developer
$200,000 which has been used to fund the Deposit pursuant to the
Purchase Agreement. The Deposit under the Purchase Agreement shall
be invested in a federally insured money market account or such
other investments as may be approved in writing by Investor. Prior
to the end of the Examination Period, Developer shall cause such
amount to be refunded to Investor in the event Investor elects not
to proceed with the transaction under the Purchase Agreement. In
the event that the Closing shall occur, the Deposit shall be deemed
applied against the Deposit Note and then credited against
Investor's initial contribution obligation under the Partnership
Agreement. The Deposit is to be applied and treated by Seller as
provided in the Purchase Agreement. Developer shall not default or
take or fail to take any action that would result in a forfeiture or
delay in the return of the Deposit. The Buyer's right under the
Purchase Agreement to terminate the transaction and receive a refund
of the deposit thereunder shall be exercised by Operator at the
election of Investor or any partner in the Partnership (which
election may be made in its sole discretion); provided, however,
that no such termination shall be permitted if it does not result in
a refund of the deposit (unless such termination without a refund
has been expressly approved or directed in writing by Investor). In
the event of a refund of the Deposit, such refund shall be returned
to Investor and applied against the Deposit Note. If the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not consummated on
the Closing Date because a condition in Section 5.1 has not been
satisfied, then in addition to any other rights and remedies that
Investor may have under this Agreement, FCP may recover the
outstanding balance of the Deposit Note from Developer.

closing of the acquisition of the Property pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement, the following additional agreements shall be executed and

REQUIRED FINANCING TERMS
The following requirements constitute the "Required Financing
Terms" referred to in the agreement (this "Agreement") to which this
Exhibit is attached and of which this Exhibit is a part. Except as
otherwise indicated, each capitalized term used herein shall have
the meaning set forth for the same elsewhere in this Agreement.
Without limitation on the other requirements set forth in this
Agreement, any financing (the "Proposed Loan"), as well as the note
(the "Proposed Note") evidencing the same and the deed of trust and
other security instruments (collectively, the "Proposed
Encumbrance") securing the same, must satisfy each of the
requirements set forth in this Exhibit, except for any deviation
therefrom specifically approved in writing by Investor.
1. Proposed Lender. The lender ("Proposed Lender") under
the Proposed Loan must be an "Institutional Investor" (which, as
used herein, means a banking institution, building and loan
association, pension fund, municipal or state employees' or
teachers' retirement fund, real estate investment trust, federal or
state savings and loan association, savings bank or insurance
company) reasonably satisfactory to the Partners.
2. Fees, Points and Other Charges. Any application fees,
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ money deposits, commitment fees, points and other charges
must be approved in writing by Investor.
3. Amount. The principal amount of the Proposed Note
must not exceed an amount which, when added to the maximum amount of
any other loans to which the "Partnership Property" (as defined in
the Partnership Agreement") is then subject or is then to be subject
(assuming that any possible achievement or other fundings will in
fact be funded), equals 70% of the then-current fair market value of
the Partnership Property.
4. Debt Service Coverage. The debt service under the
Proposed Loan shall be such that the following debt service coverage
requirement is satisfied (and Developer shall deliver to Investor
evidence reasonably satisfactory to Investor of the satisfaction of
such requirement): The then stabilized net operating income (or, if
less, the then actual net operating income from the Partnership
Property) shall be no less than 150% of the sum of the aggregate
annual amount of monthly payments of principal and interest payable
under the Proposed Loan and any other loans to which the Partnership
Property is then subject or is then to be subject (assuming that any
possible future achievement or other fundings will in fact be
funded).
5. Nonrecourse Loan; Security. The Proposed Loan must be
nonrecourse, and Proposed Lender must expressly agree in the
Proposed Note and the Proposed Encumbrance to look solely to the
Partnership Property for repayment of the Proposed Loan. There may
be customary exceptions from the nonrecourse provisions for fraud or
intentional misrepresentation, intentional misappropriation of
rents, security deposits, casualty and condemnation proceeds or
other proceeds from the Partnership Property, and violations of
environmental laws; however, the Proposed Lender's recourse with
respect to such exceptions shall be limited to the assets of the
Partnership or the general partners thereof (and their respective
constituents and principals). In no event may the Proposed Loan be
secured by real or personal property other than the Partnership
Property; and in no event may the Proposed Loan be guaranteed by any
individual, partnership, corporation or other entity without
Investor's prior written consent.
6. Security Instruments. The Proposed Encumbrance may
include only the following instruments: (a) a first mortgage or
first deed of trust which shall cover only the Partnership Property;
(b) a security agreement covering the personal property included in
the Partnership Property; (c) an assignment of the tenant leases of
space in the building included in the Partnership Property; (d) an
assignment of rents covering the receipts under such tenant leases;
and (e) such other instruments as may be reasonably requested by
Proposed Lender (provided that the terms of such documents otherwise
comply with these Required Financing Terms).
7. Exculpation of Partners. The Proposed Note and
Proposed Encumbrance shall each contain an express provision to the
effect that no personal liability or cost or expense of any kind or
nature may be imposed upon or result to any Partner or any advisor,
member, trustee, director, officer, partner, employee, beneficiary,
shareholder or agent of any Partner or any direct or indirect
partner of any Partner (including Farallon Capital Management,
Inc.), directly or indirectly, by reason of or in connection with
the Proposed Loan, the Proposed Note and Proposed Encumbrance;
provided, however, that the Proposed Note and the Proposed
Encumbrance may contain an exception to the exculpatory provisions
under which the general partners of the Partnership may have
personal liability for fraud or intentional misappropriation of
funds.
8. Dragnets; Cross Defaults. The Proposed Encumbrance
may not secure (and no rights will be exercisable thereunder by
reason of breach or default under) any obligation, indebtedness,
claim or right other than (a) the Proposed Note executed in
connection therewith (including any modifications, extensions or
renewals thereof), and (b) the covenants relating to the Partnership
Property made in such Proposed Encumbrance. Without limitation on
the generality of the foregoing, the Proposed Encumbrance will not
secure any monetary debts or obligations except those evidenced by
the Proposed Note or consisting of costs and charges related to
enforcement of covenants in the Proposed Encumbrance upon default.
9. Changes in Terms of Proposed Loan. The Proposed
Encumbrance must provide that Proposed Lender may not, without the
prior written consent of all Partners, agree to (a) renew or extend
the Proposed Loan or (b) change any economic terms or conditions or
materially change any non economic terms or conditions of the
Proposed Note or Proposed Encumbrance (including any increase in the
amount of the Proposed Loan).
10. No Equity Participation. The Proposed Lender shall
not be given any equity participation. The Proposed Loan may not
permit any interest to accrue without being paid within one month;
and no additional interest, percentage interest or contingent
interest (including any interest based on a percentage or share of
gross or net income or of sale, financing, insurance or condemnation
proceeds) may be payable under or in connection with the Proposed
Loan.
11. Interest. The Proposed Loan must provide for
interest at a rate approved by Investor. There shall be no interest
accruals, any interest being payable monthly on a current basis.
12. Monthly Payments; Amortization. The Proposed Loan
may provide for monthly payments and amortization approved by
Investor.
13. Prepayment. Prepayment must be permitted, in whole
or in part, without premium or penalty (other than a customary
yield maintenance formula that will not apply during the 90 day
period prior to maturity).
14. Term; Maturity. The Proposed Loan must have a term
of not less than 5 years (i.e., the maturity date of the Proposed
Loan must not occur, absent acceleration due to default, prior to
the date which is 5 years after the first funding of the Proposed
Loan). Proposed Lender must have no right to "call" (i.e.,
accelerate without cause) the Proposed Loan without at least nine
months' prior written notice and in no event prior to the end of the
5th year.
15. Notice. The Proposed Encumbrance and the Proposed
Note must provide that before taking any action by reason of any
default under the Proposed Encumbrance or Proposed Note, Proposed
Lender must give not less than five days' written notice to the
Partnership (in the case of a monetary default) and 30 days' written
notice to the Partnership of such default (in the case of
nonmonetary default), and the Partnership shall have the right to
cure the default within the five day period (in the case of monetary
default) and to commence curing the default within such 30-day
period and to thereafter diligently prosecute such cure to
completion (in the case of a nonmonetary default).
16. Due on Sale or Encumbrance. The Proposed Note and
Proposed Encumbrance may not restrict or limit the sale, assignment,
encumbrance or transfer of the Partnership Property (or any portion
thereof) or any interest in the Partnership Property or in the
Partnership, except upon such reasonable conditions as Proposed
Lender may impose.
17. Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds. The Proposed
Encumbrance must provide that insurance and condemnation proceeds
are to be released for the purpose of effecting repairs and
restoration of the Partnership Property connected with the damage,
loss or taking which resulted in such insurance or condemnation
proceeds, subject to such reasonable conditions as Proposed Lender
may impose.
18. Other Terms. The other terms and provisions of the
Proposed Note and Proposed Encumbrance shall be satisfactory to
Investor and may not be more onerous or disadvantageous to the
Partnership than the provisions contained in then market loans under
similar circumstances.

because the property is "grandfathered", whether
compliance will be required in the event of substantial
damage or alterations).
EXHIBIT "E"

so long as their sole responsibilities for Ridgewood

Construction Management Agreement. "Qualified
Aggregate Acquisition Costs" as of a particular date

Partnership Property then or theretofore owned by the
Partnership as to which all rehabilitation work and
other capital improvements contemplated by the
Business Plan (including any work required by the
Holiday Inn Property Improvement Plan or similar
franchise program) have been completed and paid for
and approved in writing by Holiday Inns Franchising,
Inc. or other applicable franchisor. No other
compensation shall be payable to Operator in
connection with the Management Agreement (including
any leasing or rental commissions or brokerage fees).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, there will be no
property management fees payable pursuant to clauses
(1) or (2) above with respect to the 12-month period
commencing upon the Closing. Operator shall be
entitled to its reasonable, out-of-pocket third party
expenses in connection with the performance of its
duties under the Management Agreement but only to the
extent the same are described in and are within the
limits set forth in the Approved Budget.
Other Terms: The form of the Management Agreement shall

Operator and Investor.
EXHIBIT "F"
CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT PARAMETERS
The terms of the Construction Management Agreement shall be as
follows (or as otherwise agreed upon by Investor and Operator):
Term: The earlier of (a) completion of the improvements which
are the subject of the Construction Management
Agreement, and delivering to Owner evidence (to be
specified) that such completion has occurred in
accordance with the Construction Management Agreement,
subject to early termination (at the election of
Investor on behalf of the Partnership) for cause,
including default, bankruptcy/dissolution events, change
in ownership, control or operation of Operator,
termination of Operating Subsidiary as the General
Partner of the Partnership, sale, casualty, condemnation
of the Property, or termination of the Partnership.
Obligations:Operator will have all of the customary third party
construction management obligations relating to the
planning, development, construction and completion of
certain improvements to the Property, as such
improvements are designated by Investor on behalf of the
Partnership in the Construction Management Agreement
(which such improvements shall include any improvements
required under any franchise agreement applicable to the
Property or any other improvements as may be agreed upon
by the partners in the Partnership, and shall be known
collectively as the "Required Improvements"). Operator
shall be responsible for the preparation of the budget
for such Required Improvements and monthly updates
thereof (which shall be subject to the approval of
Investor on behalf of the Partnership, and as approved
shall be referred to as the "Approved Rehab Budget") .
Operator will have its own employees (so that the
Partnership will not be required to hire employees) to
carry out its responsibilities under the Construction
Management Agreement, but shall retain third party
independent contractors (collectively, "Contractors"),
such as architects, engineers, contractors and
attorneys, interior designers, landscape architects and
other consultants which are necessary or desirable in
connection with the project contemplated by the Approved
Rehab Budget (the "Project"), provided such Contractors
are approved by the Partnership and are contemplated by
the Approved Rehab Budget. Operator is to administer,
supervise and coordinate with the Contractors on behalf
of the Partnership in order to complete the Project in
accordance with the Approved Rehab Budget, all
applicable laws and the plans and specifications for the
Project approved by the Partnership. Operator shall
perform other normal development functions including
negotiating contracts with such Consultants (and
presenting them to the Partnership for approval),
procuring of all governmental permits and approvals,
establishing and maintaining appropriate books and
financial records and cost control systems for the
Project, and making monthly financial reporting to the
Partnership.
Compensation: Operator shall be entitled to a construction
management fee equal to 3.5% of hard and third party
soft construction costs in the Approved Rehab Budget,
which shall be paid upon completion of the Project.
Any cost overruns from the Approved Rehab Budget
shall be netted dollar for dollar against such
construction management fee and, to the extent any
portion of such cost overruns have not been offset,
the same shall be netted dollar for dollar against
the fees under the Management Agreement). However,
any subsequent cost savings shall result in
reimbursement of any fees previously netted in the
amount of or equal to such savings. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, there will be no construction
management fees payable to Operator in connection
with the Project. No other compensation shall be
payable to Operator in connection with any
Construction Management Agreement. Operator shall be
entitled to its reasonable, out of pocket third party
expenses in connection with the performance of its
duties under the Construction Management Agreement
but only to the extent the same are described in and
are within the limits set forth in the Approved
Budget.
Other Terms: The form of the Construction Management Agreement
shall incorporate the foregoing parameters and shall
otherwise be subject to the reasonable approval of
Operator and Investor.
