This TERMINATION is entered into effective as of October 2,1995, by

Systems, Inc., dated September 7, 1995, which provides for the transfer to
U.S. Franchise Systems of the world-wide rights to franchise Microtel Hotels.
Therefore, in consideration of the mutual agreements set forth herein
and of the delivery to EMILI of an amended Warrant Agreement, as provided in
Section 8 of the Third Amendment referenced above, receipt of which amended
Warrant Agreement is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto have agrees as
follows:
1. The Master Franchise Agreement, entered into as
of February 13, 1991 and as amended to date, is hereby
terminated and declared to be of no further force and effect.
Any and all rights which EMILI may have attained pursuant to the
Master Franchise Agreement (except rights under the Warrant
Agreement ) are hereby deemed to be, and are, re-established in
Microtel, to the effect that Microtel, and not EMILI, shall have
the right to franchise Microtel Hotels in Canada

Agreement as of the day and year first written above.
