the expiration of the Study Period (which notice shall specify the reason(s) why
Patriot is terminating this Agreement), at which time this Agreement shall
terminate and Patriot and Crow shall be released from all further liability or
obligation hereunder except those which expressly survive a termination of this

binding the Title Company to issue its Owner's Policy of Title Insurance, in
form generally used in major commercial transactions in the state where the
Property is located in favor of Patriot, showing title held currently by Crow in
a good, indefeasible/marketable and insurable condition, together with legible
copies of all documents identified in such title insurance commitment as
exceptions to title certified as true and complete by the Title Company
(collectively, the "Title Commitment"), and (ii) reports of searches of the

Uniform Commercial Code records of both the county and State in which the

-----------
of title to the Property. Prior to the expiration of the Study Period, Patriot

Objections (the "Cure Period"), Crow shall specify which of Patriot's Objections
-----------
Crow will cure, remove or bond around, if any, by delivering to Patriot written
notice thereof; however, Crow shall, at its sole cost and expense, be obligated

Title Company to insure over such item, all delinquent taxes and all mortgages,
deeds of trust, security agreements, construction or mechanics' liens, tax liens
or other liens in a fixed sum or capable of computation as a fixed sum. If Crow
does not deliver the Title Commitment or the UCC Reports as aforesaid or if,
before the Cure Period expires and other than those items which Crow is
obligated to cure, remove or bond around, as set forth in the immediately
preceding sentence, Crow does not agree in writing to cure, remove or bond
around all of Patriot's Objections at or prior to Closing, Patriot may either
(a) terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to Crow within
ten (10) days after the Cure Period expires or (b) purchase the Hotel subject to
such Patriot's Objections, in which case, such Patriot's Objections shall be
Permitted Title Exceptions. Crow shall not, after the date of this Agreement,
subject the Real Property to or permit or suffer to exist any new liens,
attachments, encumbrances, covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements or
other title matters or seek any zoning changes or take any other action which
may affect or modify the status of title without Patriot's prior written consent
(which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless same are discharged
at or prior to Closing, and Patriot shall not be required to take title to the
Real Property subject to any matters which may arise subsequent to the effective
date of the Title Commitment, UCC Reports and Survey examined by Patriot if such
matter could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the
value, use, insurability, marketability or operation of the Property, unless
Patriot has consented thereto. All title matters revealed by the Title
Commitment, UCC Reports and Survey and not objected to by Patriot as provided
above (other than delinquent taxes and any mortgages, deeds of trust, security
agreements and other liens and charges that are to be paid at Closing) shall be
deemed Permitted Title Exceptions. Patriot and Crow agree that the Occupancy
Agreements previously disclosed to Patriot are Permitted Title Exceptions.

COVENANTS OF CROW
-----------------
To induce Patriot to enter into this Agreement and to purchase the

unless (a) any such agreement or modification will not bind Patriot or the
Property after the date of Closing or (b) Crow has obtained Patriot's prior
written consent to such agreement or modification (which shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed). Crow shall not apply all or any part of the

lessee shall assume the Operating Agreements from and after the Closing Date.
6.2 Warranties and Guaranties. Crow shall not before or after Closing

(a) Subject to the restrictions contained herein, Crow shall operate
the Property in the same manner in which Crow operated the Property prior to the
execution of this Agreement, so as to keep the Property in good condition,
reasonable wear and tear and damage by casualty and condemnation excepted, and
so as to maintain the existing caliber of the Hotel operations conducted at the
Property and the reasonable good will of all tenants of the Property and all
employees, guests and other customers of the Hotel.
(b) Crow shall maintain its books of account and records in the usual,
regular and ordinary manner, in accordance with sound accounting principles
applied on a basis consistent with the basis used in keeping its books in prior
years.
(c) Crow shall maintain in full force and effect all Insurance

(d) Crow shall use and operate the Property in compliance in all
material respects with Applicable Laws and the requirements of any mortgage,
lease, Occupancy Agreement, Operating Agreement and Insurance Policy affecting

(e) Crow shall cause to be paid prior to delinquency all ad valorem,
occupancy and sales taxes due and payable with respect to the Property or the
operation of the Hotel, unless same is being contested in accordance with
Applicable Laws.
(f) Crow shall not diminish the quality or quantity of maintenance and
upkeep services heretofore provided to the Real Property and the Tangible
Personal Property and Crow shall not permit the Tangible Personal Property to be
diminished other than as a result of the ordinary and necessary operation of the
Hotel by Crow.
(g) Crow shall not remove or cause or permit to be removed any part or
portion of the Real Property or the Tangible Personal Property without the
express written consent of Patriot unless the same is replaced, prior to
Closing, with similar items of at least equal suitability, quality and value,
free and clear of any liens or security interests or unless such item is no
longer useful in the operation of the Hotel. Without limiting the foregoing,
Crow shall ensure that the Property contains not less than:
(i) a sufficient amount of kitchen equipment, bar equipment,
refrigeration equipment, paper goods and other such personal
property to efficiently operate each of the restaurants,
bars and lounges, together with enough china, dishes,
glassware, "small goods," napkins, tablecloths, silverware
and supply of paper goods, soaps, cleaning supplies and
other such supplies and materials sufficient to adequately
operate the Hotel restaurants, bars, lounges and banquet
rooms, consistent with historical standards and practices at
the Property;
(ii) a sufficient amount of furniture, furnishings, color
television sets, carpets, drapes, rugs, floor coverings,
mattresses, pillows,
22
bedspreads and the like, to furnish each guest room so that
each such guest room is, in fact, fully furnished; and
(iii) a sufficient amount of towels, washcloths and bed linens as
is reasonably required to adequately operate the Hotel in
compliance with any and all legal requirements and
consistent with historical standards and practices at the
Property.
(h) Crow and Crow's managing agent shall continue to use commercially
reasonable efforts to take guest room reservations and to book functions and
meetings and otherwise to promote the business of the Property in generally the
same manner as Crow did prior to the execution of this Agreement; and all
advance room bookings and reservations and all meetings and function bookings
shall be booked at rates, prices and charges heretofore customarily charged by
Crow for such purposes. Crow acknowledges that the Purchase Price includes the
transfer of Advance Bookings.
(i) Except as provided in Section 6.1, neither Crow nor Crow's
-----------
managing agent shall make any agreements which shall be binding upon Patriot
with respect to the Property and cannot be terminated without penalty upon
thirty (30) days notice without the prior written consent of Patriot, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(j) Crow shall promptly deliver to Patriot upon Patriot's request such
reports showing the revenue and expenses of the Hotel and all departments
thereof, together with such periodic information with respect to room
reservations and other bookings, as Crow customarily keeps or receives
internally for its own use.
(k) Crow shall not enter into any employment agreements which would be
binding on Patriot with respect to the Property.
(l) Crow shall promptly advise Patriot of any litigation, arbitration
or administrative hearing concerning or affecting the Property of which Crow
obtains written notice or of which Crow has knowledge.
6.6 Capital Reserve Account.
-----------------------
(a) Crow has reserved for capital expenditures at the Hotel (the
"Capital Reserve Account") the initial amount of $3,656,000.00. Crow shall not
be obligated to fund such initial amount, if any, of the Capital Reserve Account
as of the Effective Date, but shall be required to fund such initial amount, if
any, at or prior to the Closing, and, in connection therewith, Crow may satisfy
its obligations by, and to the extent of, Crow's expenditure, pursuant to the
following provisions of this Section 6.6, of funds required to be included in
-----------
the Capital Reserve Account as such initial amount, if any.
(b) In addition to the foregoing, during the period from the Effective
Date to the Closing Date, Crow shall: (i) fund the Capital Reserve Account in
the amount of four percent (4%), on a monthly basis, of gross revenues of the
Property (as defined in the Management Agreement), which monies shall become and
be a part of the Capital Reserve Account, and (ii) expend the Capital Reserve
Account pursuant to a schedule reflecting sound hotel management practices and
in accordance with the 1997 capital expenditures budget adopted pursuant to the
Management Agreement and previously provided to Patriot (the "Capital Expense
23
Budget"). Except in accordance with the Capital Expense Budget, the amount of
the Capital Reserve Account may not be reduced prior to the Closing Date.
(c) The parties intend that Crow shall bear the cost of implementing
the Capital Expense Budget to the extent the funds in the Capital Reserve
Account are insufficient to pay such costs and, to the extent the funds in the
Capital Reserve Account are more than sufficient to pay such costs, that Crow
receive such excess amounts. Accordingly, at the Closing, the parties will
adjust the Purchase Price based on the actual 1997 capital expenditures up to
the time of the Closing relative to the actual capital reserves accrued up to
the time of the Closing, so that: (a) if the funds in the Capital Reserve
Account plus the additional amounts which will accrue in the Capital Reserve
Account after the Closing Date through December 31, 1997 (calculated for such
additional amounts using pro forma gross revenues for 1997) exceed the amount
budgeted for any unperformed budgeted 1997 capital expenditures as of the
Closing Date, the Purchase Price shall be increased by such excess; or (b) if
the funds in the Capital Reserve Account plus the additional amounts which will
accrue in the Capital Reserve Account after the Closing Date through December
31, 1997 (calculated for such additional amounts using pro forma gross revenues
for 1997) is less than the amount budgeted for any unperformed budgeted 1997
capital expenditures as of the Closing Date, Patriot shall receive a credit
against the Purchase Price in the amount of such deficiency.
(d) After the Closing, Patriot shall continue to fund and make
expenditures from the Capital Reserve Account through the end of 1997 in the
same manner as Crow is required to fund and make expenditures from the Capital
Reserve Account during the period from the Effective Date to the Closing Date.
By January 31, 1998, the parties shall make, if necessary, a cash settlement
such that, whether by an increase in or credit to the Purchase Price as
aforesaid and/or by a cash payment by one party hereunder to the other by
January 31, 1998 (A) Crow shall have received from Patriot an amount equal to
the amount by which the funds in the Capital Reserve Account at the end of 1997
exceed the amount of the unperformed budgeted 1997 capital expenditures at the
end of 1997, or (B) Patriot shall have received from Crow an amount equal to the
amount by which the funds in the Capital Reserve Account at the end of 1997 are
less than the amount of the unperformed budgeted 1997 capital expenditures at
the end of 1997.
(e) The provisions of this Section 6.6 shall survive the Closing.
-----------
6.7 Employees. Payment of costs and expenses associated with accrued but
---------
unpaid salary, earned but unpaid vacation pay, accrued but unearned vacation
pay, pension and welfare benefits, the Consolidated Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended ("COBRA") benefits, employee fringe
-----
benefits, employee termination payments or any other employee benefits due to
Crow's, or Crow's management company's employees shall be the sole
responsibility and obligation of and shall be paid promptly by Crow or Crow's
management company and Patriot shall have no liability whatsoever for any such
payments and benefits concerning the employees of Crow or of Crow's management
company. Crow shall indemnify and defend Patriot and its lessee, management
company and affiliates, from and against any and all claims, causes of action,
proceedings, judgments, damages, penalties and liabilities made, assessed or
rendered against Patriot and/or its lessee, management company and affiliates,
and any costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements) incurred by Patriot and/or its lessee, management company and
affiliates, with respect to claims, causes of action, judgments, damages,
penalties and liabilities asserted by such employees arising out of
24
the failure of Crow or Crow's management company to comply with the provisions
of this Subsection 6.7. This indemnification shall be separate from and in
--------------
addition to the indemnification given by Crow to Patriot in Article X below.
---------
The provisions of this Section 6.7 shall survive the Closing.
-----------
6.8 Requisite Consents. Crow shall, in good faith, use commercially

(j) Such other items as are usually and customarily prorated between
purchasers and sellers of hotel properties in the area where the Property is
located.
Patriot shall retain and receive a credit against the Purchase Price for the
total of (i) prepaid rents, (ii) prepaid room receipts and deposits, function
receipts and deposits and other reservation receipts and deposits, (iii)
unforfeited security deposits (and, to the extent interest is payable to the
tenant, interest thereon) held by Crow under the Occupancy Agreements, and (iv)
the value of any complimentary rooms (based upon the "corporate" rate for each
room) and any complimentary food or beverages (based upon the advertised rate
for each food and beverage) provided by Crow, other than in the ordinary course
of business, from and after 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date. At Closing, Crow
shall sell to Patriot in connection with the Hotel, and Patriot shall acquire
from Crow, and the Purchase Price shall be increased by the face value of the
so-called "guest ledger" as mutually approved by Patriot and Crow for the Hotel
of guest accounts receivable payable to the Hotel as of the check out time for
the Hotel on the Closing Date (based on guests and customers then using the
Hotel) both (1) in occupancy from the preceding night through check out time the
morning of the Closing Date, and (2) previously in occupancy prior to check out
time on the Closing Date; provided, however, that the term "guest ledger" shall
not include any accounts receivable which have been or are to be paid by any
means other than a credit card. Patriot shall not be obligated to acquire such
non-credit card accounts receivable, and Crow shall retain all rights with
respect thereto (including, without limitation, the right to collect same). For
purposes of this Agreement, transfer or sale at face value shall have the
following meaning for the guest ledger: the total of all credit card accounts
receivable as shown on the records of the Hotel, less actual collection costs
(i.e., fees retained by credit card companies), less Patriot's one-half ( 1/2)
share of the Tray Ledger.
Crow shall pay or cause to be paid all special assessments for the Property due
and payable in the year in which the Closing occurs. All special assessments
due and payable on or prior to the Closing Date shall be paid by Crow on or
before the Closing Date. All subdivision and platting costs and expenses
heretofore incurred by Crow, including, without limitation, all subdivision
exactions, fees and costs and all dedication of land for parks and other public
uses or payment of fees in lieu thereof, shall be paid by Crow on or prior to
the Closing Date.
Crow shall be required to pay all sales, occupancy and liquor taxes and like
impositions currently through the date of Closing and if reasonably available,
deliver evidence of payment of same to Patriot.
Patriot shall not be obligated to collect any delinquent rents, or revenues
accrued prior to the Closing Date for Crow, but if Patriot collects same, such
amounts shall be promptly remitted to Crow in the form received.
Crow shall either transfer the balance of the Capital Reserve Account to Patriot
or allow Patriot a credit against the Purchase Price for the amount thereof.
30
If accurate allocations cannot be made at Closing because current bills are not
obtainable (as, for example, in the case of utility bills and/or real estate or
personal property taxes) or appeals are pending, the parties shall allocate such
revenue or expenses at Closing on the best available information, subject to
adjustment upon receipt of the final xxxx or other evidence of the applicable
revenue or expense. The obligation to make the adjustment shall survive the
closing of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Any revenue received
or expense incurred by Crow or Patriot with respect to the Property after the
date of Closing shall be promptly allocated in the manner described herein and
the parties shall promptly pay or reimburse any amount due. The proration
provisions of this Agreement shall survive the Closing of the transaction
contemplated hereby for a period of twelve (12) months.

GENERAL PROVISIONS
------------------
9.1 Condemnation. In the event of any actual or threatened taking,
------------
pursuant to the power of eminent domain, of all or any portion of the Real
Property, or any proposed sale in lieu thereof, Crow shall give written notice
thereof to Patriot promptly after Crow learns or receives notice thereof. If
all or a Substantial Portion (as hereinafter defined) of the Real Property is,
or is to be, so condemned or sold, Patriot shall have the right to terminate
this Agreement. If Patriot elects not to terminate this Agreement, all
proceeds, awards and other payments arising out of such condemnation or sale
(actual or threatened) shall be paid or assigned, as applicable, to Patriot at
Closing. Crow shall not settle or compromise any such proceeding without
Patriot's written consent. If Patriot elects to terminate this Agreement by
giving Crow written notice thereof prior to the Closing, all rights and
obligations of Crow and Patriot hereunder (except those set forth herein which
expressly survive a termination of this Agreement) shall terminate immediately.
In the event any portion of the Real Property is affected by a condemnation,
sale or eminent domain action and such condemnation, sale or eminent domain
action does not constitute a Substantial Portion of the Real Property, this
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect without a reduction in the
Purchase Price except as provided below. In the event of any such condemnation,
sale or eminent domain action that does not constitute a Substantial Portion of
the Real Property, Patriot shall be entitled to any and all claims that Crow may
have to condemnation awards or any and all causes of action with respect to such
condemnation, sale or eminent domain action (all of which shall be assigned by
Crow to Patriot at Closing), and Crow shall credit to Patriot at Closing, by an
appropriate adjustment to the Purchase Price, an amount equal to all payments
(if any) theretofore received by Crow with respect to such condemnation, sale or
eminent domain action. For purposes of this Section 9.1, a "Substantial
----------- -----------
Portion" shall mean a condemnation of in excess of $1,000,000 in value of the
-------
Real Property. This provision shall survive the Closing of the transaction
contemplated hereby.
9.2 Risk of Loss. The risk of any loss or damage to the Property prior to
------------
the recordation of the Deed shall remain upon Crow. If any such loss or damage
which constitutes Substantial Loss or Damage occurs prior to Closing, Patriot
shall have the right to terminate this Agreement. If Patriot elects not to
terminate this Agreement, all insurance proceeds and rights to proceeds arising
out of such loss or damage shall be paid or assigned, as applicable, to Patriot
at Closing and Patriot shall receive as a credit against the Purchase Price the
amount of any deductibles under the policies of insurance covering such loss or
damage. If Patriot elects to terminate this Agreement by giving Crow written
notice thereof prior to the Closing, all rights and obligations of Crow and
Patriot hereunder (except those set forth herein which expressly survive a
termination of this Agreement) shall terminate immediately. In the event any of
the
31
Property or any of the items constituting the Personal Property should be
damaged or destroyed as a result of fire or other casualty and such damage does
not constitute Substantial Loss or Damage and such damage is not repaired prior
to Closing, the rights and obligations of Crow and Patriot hereunder with
respect to the Property shall not be affected by such destruction or damage and
Patriot shall accept title to the Property in its destroyed or damaged
condition. In such event, at the Closing, all insurance proceeds and rights to
proceeds arising out of such loss or damage shall be paid or assigned, as
applicable, and Patriot shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price equal
to the amount of any deductibles under the policies of insurance covering such
loss or damage. For purposes of this Section 9.2, "Substantial Loss or Damage"
----------- --------------------------
shall mean loss or damage, the cost for repair of which (as mutually determined
by Patriot and Crow at the time of such loss or damage) exceeds $1,000,000.00.
In the event that Patriot and Crow are unable to agree on the cost of repair of
any Substantial Loss or Damage, then such cost of repair shall be determined by
an insurance adjuster selected by Crow and approved by Patriot, such approval
not to be unreasonably withheld. This provision shall survive the Closing of
the transaction contemplated hereby.
9.3 Absence of Broker. There is no real estate broker involved in this
-----------------
transaction. Patriot warrants and represents to Crow that Patriot has not dealt
with any real estate broker in connection with this transaction, nor has Patriot
been introduced to the Property or to Crow by any real estate broker, and
Patriot shall indemnify Crow and save and hold Crow harmless from and against
any claims, suits, demands or liabilities of any kind or nature whatsoever
arising on account of the claim of any person, firm or corporation to a real
estate brokerage commission or a finder's fee as a result of having dealt with
Patriot, or as a result of having introduced Patriot to Crow or to the Property.
In like manner, Crow warrants and represents to Patriot that Crow has not dealt
with any real estate broker in connection with this transaction, nor has Crow
been introduced to Patriot by any real estate broker, and Crow shall indemnify
Patriot and save and hold Patriot harmless from and against any claims, suits,
demands or liabilities of any kind or nature whatsoever arising on account of
the claim of any person, firm or corporation to a real estate brokerage
commission or a finder's fee as a result of having dealt with Crow in connection
with this transaction.
9.4 Bulk Sale. Crow shall indemnify Patriot and save and hold Patriot
---------
harmless from and against any claims, suits, demands, liabilities or obligations
of any kind or nature whatsoever, including all costs of defending same, and
reasonable attorneys' fees paid or incurred in connection therewith, arising out
of or relating to any claim made by any third party or any liability asserted by
any third party that any applicable bulk sales law or like statute has not been
complied with. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing of the
transaction contemplated hereby.
9.5 Intentionally Deleted.
---------------------
9.6 Crow's Accounts Receivable. Except as otherwise provided herein, it
--------------------------
is expressly agreed by and between Patriot and Crow that Crow is not hereby
agreeing to sell to Patriot, and Patriot is not hereby agreeing to purchase from
Crow, any of Crow's accounts receivable. All of Crow's accounts receivable
shall be and remain the property of Crow, subsequent to the Closing of the
transaction contemplated hereby. At the Closing, Crow shall prepare a list of
its outstanding accounts receivable as of midnight on the date prior to the
Closing, specifying the name of each account and the amount due to Crow.
Patriot shall hold any funds received by Patriot explicitly designated as
payment of such accounts receivable, in trust, if Patriot actually collects any
such amounts, and shall pay the monies collected in respect thereof to Crow at
the
32
end of each calendar month, accompanied by a statement showing the amount
collected on each such account. Undesignated payments of accounts receivable
from account debtors owing amounts to both Crow and Patriot, which payments are
received by Patriot within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, shall first
be applied to Crow's accounts receivable which are no more than sixty (60) days
delinquent as of the Closing Date; and any other undesignated payments shall
first be applied to Patriot's accounts receivable and then to Crow's. Other
than the foregoing, Patriot shall have no obligation with respect to any such
account, and Patriot shall not be required to take any legal proceeding or
action to effect collection on behalf of Crow. It is generally the intention of
Patriot and Crow that although all of Crow's accounts receivable shall be and
remain the property of Crow, still, if any such accounts are paid to Patriot,
then Patriot shall collect same and remit to Crow in the manner above provided.
Without first notifying Patriot in writing and giving Patriot a thirty (30) day
period to attempt to enforce collection of any delinquent payment, Crow agrees
that it shall not bring any legal action to enforce collection of such payment
of any accounts receivable against any current tenant of the Property or other
third party in a contractual or business relationship with the Property which
existed as of the Closing Date.
