G. The above described indebtedness, as evidenced by the Notes, and all

and other Loan Documents, if any, remains unpaid and Borrower has requested and
Lender has agreed to the rearrangement of the terms of such indebtedness (the
"Indebtedness") to adjust the interest rate of the Notes, to provide for the
monthly payment of principal and interest payments, to adjust the maturity date
of the Loan and to amend certain provisions of the Loan Documents, upon
Borrower's compliance with the provisions set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises made herein, the
benefits accruing to the parties herein and the obligations assumed hereunder,
the parties agree that the Indebtedness shall remain outstanding and the terms
of such Indebtedness shall be amended as follows:
1. Amendment to the Loan. The Loan, which has a current outstanding
principal balance in the amount of Five Million Seventy-Six Thousand Two Hundred
Seventy-Five and 51/100 Dollars ($5,076,275.51), shall be amended so that: (i)
the "Interest Rate" is a variable rate which shall be the Prime Rate, as defined
herein, plus One-Half of One Percent (.50%) charged by the Lender, computed
daily for the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days; (ii)
payment of principal, amortized over a twenty (20) year amortization period,
shall be due and payable in arrears in equal monthly principal installments of
Ten Thousand Sixty-Four and 00/100 Dollars ($10,064.00), together with all
accrued but unpaid interest commencing on September 1, 2002, which payments
Borrower shall continue to make on the first day of each month thereafter until
the Maturity Date; and (iii) the Maturity Date shall be adjusted to August 1,
2003. The amendment to the Notes shall not constitute a repayment or
satisfaction of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes, which for all purposes
hereunder shall remain outstanding from August 14, 1998.
Prime Rate is that percentage rate of interest calculated on the basis of a
360 day year which is established and announced by Lender from time to time as
its Prime Rate, which is in effect until a new rate is established and announced
and which provides a base to which loan rates may be referenced; it is not
necessarily the Lender's lowest loan rate. In the event of a change in such
Prime Rate, the interest rate hereunder shall be adjusted accordingly, and such
adjustment shall become effective on the date such Prime Rate changes.
2. Amendment to Mortgage, Second Mortgage and Other Loan Documents. The
Mortgage, Second Mortgage and other Loan Documents shall be amended to reflect
the adjustment of the Maturity Date to August 1, 2003. The Mortgage and Second
Mortgage shall now secure the Notes, which evidence an aggregate maximum
outstanding principal balance of Thirty-Three Million Five Hundred Thousand and
00/100 Dollars ($33,500,000.00). In accordance with the foregoing, Borrower
hereby grants, conveys and mortgages to Lender the Premises as described in
Exhibit A as collateral security for the Notes subject in all respects to the
terms of the Mortgage, Second Mortgage, Assignment of Leases and other Loan
Documents.
3. Additional Loan Documents. Concurrently with the execution of this
Agreement and as an inducement to Lender to acquire the Loans from LaSalle and
to agree to the terms and conditions contained herein, Xxxxx X. Xxxx and Xxxxx
X. Xxxxxx shall jointly and severally grant to Lender an Unconditional Guaranty
("Guaranty") which Guaranty shall guaranty the obligations payable by Borrower
to the Lender under the Notes, the Mortgage, Second Mortgage and the other Loan
Documents. In addition, Borrower shall grant to Lender a Pledge/Assignment/Cash
Collateral Agreement between Borrower and Lender dated of even date herewith
granting to Lender an interest in that account with a current balance of One
Hundred Nine Thousand Five Hundred Seventeen Dollars ($109,517) established as a
reserve for furniture, fixtures and equipment on the Premises as required under
the Mortgage ("Pledge Agreement"). Said Guaranty and Pledge Agreement shall now
become part of the Loan Documents and shall secure the obligations of the
Borrower under the Notes and the Loan Documents.
4. Borrower Certification. Borrower hereby certifies that the
representations, warranties and covenants set forth in the Settlement Agreement
Regarding Loans between Borrower and LaSalle dated August ___, 2002 pertaining
to the Loans and operation of the Premises are true and correct and run to the
benefit of Lender.
5. Amendment to Notes, Mortgage, Assignment of Leases and the other Loan
Documents. Borrower agrees that all provisions regarding release prices for any
of the hotel property are hereby deleted in their entirety.
6. Conditions Precedent. As a condition to the effectiveness of this
Agreement, Borrower shall deliver to Lender the following items:

7. No Other Changes. All of the terms and conditions contained in the
original Notes, Mortgage, Second Mortgage and all other Loan Documents, except
as modified by this Agreement shall remain unchanged, unimpaired and in full
force and effect. This Agreement is hereby made a part of the original documents
evidencing and securing the Indebtedness as completely as if incorporated
verbatim therein.
8. Covenants and Representations.
(a) Borrower acknowledges and unconditionally promises to pay the
entire Indebtedness as set forth in the Notes and in the original and
amended instruments evidencing and securing the Indebtedness, as required.
