However, as long as the Class B Preferred Partnership Units remain outstanding (the “Limitation

Period”), the Partnership may issue Partnership Units with income, distribution, or liquidation rights that are superior to (“Superior Partnership Units”) or the same as (“Pari Passu Partnership Units”) the income, distribution, or liquidation rights of the Class B Preferred Partnership Units if, and only if, immediately after such issuance (i) the value of all of the Superior Partnership Units that would be outstanding immediately after such issuance would not exceed an amount equal to 18.7% of the aggregate value of the total outstanding partnership interests in the Partnership immediately after such issuance (“Total Equity”), and (ii) the value of all of the Pari Passu Partnership Units and the Superior Partnership Units, taken together, that would be outstanding immediately after such issuance would not exceed an amount equal to (A) 22% of the Total Equity, plus (B) the value of the Class B Preferred Partnership Units issued to the partnerships controlled by Jack P.

The restrictions in this paragraph shall terminate when the Class B Preferred Partnership Units are no longer outstanding. During the Limitation Period, the Partnership may not issue Superior Partnership Units in exchange for non-cash property. None of the limitations in this paragraph shall prevent the Partnership from issuing Class B Preferred Partnership Units in connection with the acquisition of the seven Residence Inn hotels owned by partnerships controlled by Jack P. DeBoer.

Article IV, Section 4.02 of the Partnership Agreement is hereby amended by adding Section 4.02(f) as follows:

“(f) 8.0% Series C Preferred Partnership Units.

(1) Designation and Number. A series of Partnership Units, designated the “8.0% Series C Preferred Partnership Units”, is hereby established. The number of Series C Preferred Partnership Units shall be as set forth on Exhibit A hereto.

(2) Rank. The Series C Preferred Partnership Units will, with respect to distribution rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Partnership, rank (i) prior or senior to all classes or series of Common Partnership Units of the Partnership, and to all Partnership Units ranking junior to the Series C Preferred Partnership Units with respect to distribution rights or rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Partnership; (ii) on a parity with the Class B Preferred Partnership Units and all Partnership Units issued by the Partnership the terms of which specifically provide that

such Partnership Units rank on a parity with the Series C Preferred Partnership Units with respect to distribution rights or rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Partnership; and (iii) junior to all existing and future indebtedness of the Partnership. The term “Partnership Units” does not include convertible debt securities, which will rank senior to the Series C Preferred Partnership Units prior to conversion.

(3) Distributions.

(a) Holders of the Series C Preferred Partnership Units are entitled to receive cumulative cash distributions in accordance with Section 5.02(a)(i)(B) hereof. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.02(a) hereof, distributions on the Series C Preferred Partnership Units shall be cumulative from the date of original issue and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on or before the last Tuesday of January, April, July and October of each year, or, if not a Business Day (as defined below), the next succeeding business day (each, a “Distribution Payment Date”) commencing April 27, 2004. “Business Day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in the City of New York are authorized or required to close. The first distribution will be payable for the period beginning January 20, 2004. Any distribution payable on the Series C Preferred Partnership Units for any partial distribution period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30 day months. Distributions will be payable to holders of record as they appear in the ownership records of the Partnership at the close of business on the Partnership Record Date.

(b) The amount of any distributions accrued on any Series C Preferred Partnership Units at any Distribution Payment Date shall be the amount of any unpaid distributions accumulated thereon, to and including such Distribution Payment Date, whether or not earned or declared, and the amount of distributions accrued on any Series C Preferred Partnership Units at any date other than a Distribution Payment Date shall be equal to the sum of the amount of any unpaid distributions accumulated thereon, to and including the last preceding Distribution Payment Date, whether or not earned or declared, plus an amount calculated on the basis of the Series C Preferred Return for the period after such last preceding Distribution Payment Date to and including the date as of which the calculation is made based on a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

(c) Except as provided in subsection (a) hereof, the holder of the Series C Preferred Partnership Units will not be entitled to any distributions in excess of full cumulative distributions as described above and shall not be entitled to participate in the earnings or assets of the Partnership, and no interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be payable in respect of any distribution payment or payments on the Series C Preferred Partnership Units which may be in arrears.

(d) No distributions on Series C Preferred Partnership Units shall be declared by the General Partner or paid or set apart for payment by the Partnership if the terms and provisions of any agreement of the Partnership, including any agreement relating to its indebtedness, prohibit such declaration, payment or setting apart for payment or provide that such declaration, payment or setting apart for payment would constitute a breach thereof or a default thereunder, or if such declaration or payment shall be restricted or

prohibited by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, distributions on the Series C Preferred Partnership Units will accrue whether or not the Partnership has earnings, whether or not there is available cash flow for the payment of such distributions and whether or not such distributions are declared. Accrued but unpaid distributions on the Series C Preferred Partnership Units will not bear interest and holders of the Series C Preferred Partnership Units will not be entitled to any distributions in excess of full cumulative distributions described above.

(e) When distributions are not paid in full (or a sum sufficient for such full payment is not so set apart) upon the Series C Preferred Partnership Units and any other series of Preferred Partnership Units ranking on a parity as to distributions with the Series C Preferred Partnership Units, all distributions declared upon the Series C Preferred Partnership Units and any other series of Preferred Partnership Units ranking on a parity as to distributions with the Series C Preferred Partnership Units shall be declared pro rata so that the amount of distributions declared per Series C Preferred Partnership Unit and such other series of Preferred Partnership Units shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that accrued distributions per Series C Preferred Partnership Unit and such other series of Preferred Partnership Units (which shall not include any accrual in respect of unpaid distributions for prior distribution periods if such Preferred Partnership Units do not have a cumulative distribution) bear to each other. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, no distributions will be declared or paid or set apart for payment on any Partnership Units or any other series of Preferred Partnership Units ranking, as to distributions, on a parity with the Series C Preferred Partnership Units for any period unless full cumulative distributions have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof is set apart for such payment on the Series C Preferred Partnership Units for all past distribution periods and the then current distribution period.

(f) Except as provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, unless full cumulative distributions on the Series C Preferred Partnership Units have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof is set apart for payment for all past distribution periods and the then current distribution period, no distributions (other than a distribution of Common Partnership Units or other Partnership Units ranking junior to the Series C Preferred Partnership Units as to distributions and upon liquidation) shall be declared or paid or set aside for payment with respect to Common Partnership Units, or any other Partnership Units ranking junior to the Series C Preferred Partnership Units as to distributions or upon liquidation, nor shall any Common Partnership Units, or any other Partnership Units in the Partnership ranking junior to or on a parity with the Series C Preferred Partnership Units as to distributions or upon liquidation be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired (other than the conversion of the Class B Preferred Partnership Units) for any consideration (or any monies be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any such units) by the Partnership. Holders of Series C Preferred Partnership Units shall not be entitled to any distribution, whether payable in cash, property or securities in excess of full cumulative distributions on the Series C Preferred Partnership Units as provided above.

(4) Liquidation Preference. Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Partnership, the holders of Series C Preferred Partnership Units are entitled to distributions payable in accordance with Section 5.06(a) hereof with respect to Series C Partnership Units. The Partnership will promptly provide to the holders of Series C Preferred Partnership Units written notice of any event triggering the right to receive such liquidation distributions. After payment of the full amount of such distribution pursuant to Section 5.06 hereof, the holders of Series C Preferred Partnership Units will have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Partnership. The consolidation or merger of the Partnership with or into any other partnership, corporation, trust or entity or of any other partnership or corporation with or into the Partnership, or the sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all of the property or business of the Partnership, shall not be deemed to constitute a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Partnership.

(5) Redemption.

(a) The Series C Preferred Partnership Units are not redeemable by the Partnership prior to January 20, 2009. On and after January 20, 2009, the Partnership, at its option upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ written notice, may redeem the Series C Preferred Partnership Units, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, for a cash amount equal to the Series C Preference Value per Unit, plus all accrued and unpaid distributions thereon to the date fixed for redemption, without interest. A holder shall surrender its Series C Preferred Partnership Units at the place designated in such notice and shall be entitled to the redemption price and any accrued and unpaid distributions payable upon such redemption following such surrender. If notice of redemption of any Series C Preferred Partnership Units has been given and if the funds necessary for such redemption have been set aside by the Partnership in trust for the benefit of the holders of any Series C Preferred Partnership Units so called for redemption, then from and after the redemption date distributions will cease to accrue on such Series C Preferred Partnership Units, such Series C Preferred Partnership Units shall no longer be deemed outstanding and all rights of the holders of such Series C Preferred Partnership Units will terminate, except the right to receive the redemption price. If less than all of the outstanding Series C Preferred Partnership Units are to be redeemed, the Series C Preferred Partnership Units to be redeemed shall be selected pro rata (as nearly as may be practicable without creating fractional Series C Preferred Partnership Units) or by any other equitable method determined by the General Partner.

(b) Notice of redemption will be mailed or delivered to holders of Series C Preferred Partnership Units not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date. In addition to any information required by law, each notice shall state: (i) the redemption date; (ii) the redemption price; (iii) the number of Series C Preferred Partnership Units to be redeemed; (iv) the place or places where the Series C Preferred Partnership Units are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price; and (v) that distributions on the Series C Preferred Partnership Units to be redeemed will cease to accrue on such redemption date. If less than all of the Series C Preferred Partnership Units held by any holder are to be redeemed, the notice mailed to such holder shall also specify the number of Series C Preferred Partnership Units held by such holder to be redeemed.

(c) Immediately prior to any redemption of Series C Preferred Partnership Units, the Partnership shall pay, in cash, any accumulated and unpaid distributions through the redemption date, unless a redemption date falls after a Partnership Record Date and prior to the corresponding Distribution Payment Date, in which case each holder of Series C Preferred Partnership Units at the close of business on such Partnership Record Date shall be entitled to the distribution payable on such shares on the corresponding Distribution Payment Date notwithstanding the redemption of such shares before such Distribution Payment Date.

(d) If the Partnership exercises its optional redemption right with respect to the Series C Preferred Partnership Units pursuant to this Section 4.02(f)(5), then the Trust must redeem a corresponding number of Series C Preferred Shares. Similarly, if the Trust exercises its optional redemption right with respect to Series C Preferred Shares, then the Partnership must redeem a corresponding number of Series C Preferred Partnership Units.

(6) Conversion. Except as provided in Section 4.02(f) hereof, the Series C Preferred Partnership Units are not redeemable for, convertible into or exchangeable for any other property or securities of the Partnership or the General Partner.”

Section 6. Percentage Interests.

Article IV, Section 4.05 is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following new Section 4.05 is inserted in its place:

“4.05 Percentage Interests. If the number of outstanding Partnership Units increases or decreases during a taxable year, Class B Preferred Partnership Units are converted into Common Partnership Units pursuant to Section 8.07 hereof, or Series C Preferred Partnership Units are redeemed pursuant to Section 4.02(f)(5) hereof, (i) the General Partner and each Class A Limited Partner’s Common Percentage Interest shall be adjusted to a percentage equal to the number of Common Partnership Units held by such Partner divided by the aggregate number of outstanding Common Partnership Units, (ii) each Class B Limited Partner’s Class B Preferred Percentage Interest shall be adjusted to a percentage equal to the number of Class B Preferred Partnership Units held by such Partner divided by the aggregate number of outstanding Class B Preferred Partnership Units, and (iii) each Series C Limited Partner’s Series C Preferred Percentage Interest shall be adjusted to a percentage equal to the number of the Series C Preferred Partnership Units held by such Partner divided by the aggregate number of the outstanding Series C Preferred Partnership Units. If the Partners’ Common, Class B Preferred, or Series C Preferred Percentage Interests are adjusted pursuant to this Section 4.05, gross income of the Partnership, Profits, and Losses for the taxable year in which the adjustment occurs shall be allocated between the part of the year ending on the day when the Partnership’s property is revalued by the General Partner and the part of the year beginning on the following day either (i) as if the taxable year had ended on the date

of the adjustment or (ii) based on the number of days in each part. The General Partner, in its sole discretion, shall determine which method shall be used to allocate gross income of the Partnership, Profits, and Losses for the taxable year in which the adjustment occurs. The allocation of gross income of the Partnership, Profits, and Losses for the earlier part of the year shall be based on the percentage interests before adjustment, and the allocation of gross income of the Partnership, Profits, and Losses for the later part shall be based on the adjusted percentage interests.”

Section 7. Gross Income Allocation.

Article V, Section 5.01(a) is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following new Section 5.01(a) is inserted in its place:

“(a) Gross Income. Gross income of the Partnership for each fiscal year of the Partnership shall be allocated pari passu to (i) the Class B Limited Partners in proportion to their Class B Preferred Percentage Interests until the aggregate amount of gross income allocated to the Class B Limited Partners under this Section 5.01(a) for the current and all prior years equals the aggregate amount of the Class B Preferred Return paid to the Class B Limited Partners pursuant to Sections 5.02(a)(i)(A), 5.06(a)(i)(A), 8.07 and 8.08 for the current and all prior years, and (ii) the Series C Limited Partners in proportion to their Series C Preferred Percentage Interests until the aggregate amount of gross income allocated to the Series C Limited Partners under this Section 5.01(a) for the current and all prior years equals the aggregate amount of the Series C Preferred Return paid to the Series C Limited Partners pursuant to Sections 5.02(a)(i)(B) and 5.06(a)(i)(B) for the current and all prior years. In the event that the Partnership has insufficient gross income to allocate the appropriate amounts to both the Class B Limited Partners and the Series C Limited Partners under this Section 5.01(a), the Partnership’s gross income will be allocated pro rata (on the basis set forth above) between the Class B Limited Partners, on the one hand, and the Series C Limited Partners, on the other hand.”

Article V, Section 5.02(a) is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following new Section 5.02(a) is inserted in its place:

“(a) The General Partner shall distribute cash on a quarterly (or, at the election of the General Partner, more frequent) basis, in an amount determined by the General Partner in its sole discretion, to the Partners who are Partners on the Partnership Record Date with respect to such quarter (or other distribution period), as follows:

(i) First, (A) to the Class B Limited Partners in accordance with their respective Class B Preferred Percentage Interests on the Partnership Record Date until the Class B Limited Partners have received an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (I) their Class B Preferred Return for the current and all prior years over (II) the sum of all prior Class B Preferred Return distributions to the Class B Limited Partners pursuant to this Section 5.02(a)(i)(A) and Sections 8.07 and 8.08 hereof, and (B) to the Series C Limited Partners in accordance with their respective Series C Preferred Percentage Interests on the Partnership Record Date until the Series C Limited Partners have received an amount

(ii) Thereafter, to the Partners in accordance with their respective Common Percentage Interests on the Partnership Record Date;

provided, however, that if a new or existing Partner acquires additional Partnership Units in exchange for a Capital Contribution on any date other than a Partnership Record Date, the cash distribution attributable to such additional Partnership Units for the Partnership Record Date following the issuance of such additional Partnership Units shall be reduced in the proportion that the number of days that such additional Partnership Units are held by such Partner bears to the number of days in the relevant Distribution Period; and further provided, that if a Class B Limited Partner converts all or a portion of its Class B Preferred Partnership Units into Common Partnership Units pursuant to Section 8.07 hereof on any date other than a Partnership Record Date, on the succeeding Partnership Record Date, such Class B Limited Partner shall receive the sum of (i) a pro rata portion of the Class B Preferred Return for such Partnership Record Date attributable to the portion of the Distribution Period prior to and including the date of the conversion and (ii) a pro rata portion of the amount such Partner is entitled to receive as a holder of Common Partnership Units, which amount is attributable to the portion of the Distribution Period following the date of the conversion; and further provided, that if all or a portion of the Series C Preferred Partnership Units are redeemed pursuant to Section 4.02(f)(5) hereof on any date other than a Partnership Record Date, on the succeeding Partnership Record Date, with respect to the shares redeemed, the Series C Limited Partners shall receive a pro rata portion of the Series C Preferred Return for such Partnership Record Date attributable to the portion of the Distribution Period prior to and including the date of the redemption; and further provided that in the event the Partnership has insufficient cash to distribute the correct amounts to both the Class B Limited Partners and the Series C Limited Partners under Section 5.02(a)(i), the Partnership’s distributable cash will be distributed pro rata (on the basis set forth above) among the Class B Limited Partners, on the one hand, and the Series C Limited Partners, on the other hand.”

(iii) Thereafter, to the Class A Limited Partners and the General Partner with positive Capital Accounts in accordance with their respective positive Capital Account balances.

In the event that the Partnership has insufficient assets to distribute the appropriate amounts to both the Class B Limited Partners and the Series C Limited Partners under Section 5.06(a)(i) or (ii), the Partnership’s assets will be distributed pro rata (on the basis set forth above) among the Class B Limited Partners, on the one hand, and the Series C Limited Partners, on the other hand.

The Capital Account of each Partner shall be determined after all adjustments made in accordance with Sections 5.01, 5.02 and 5.06(a)(i) hereof resulting from Partnership operations and from all sales and dispositions of all or any part of the Partnership’s assets.”

On the tenth anniversary of the First Class B Admission Date, the Class B Preferred Partnership Units will be converted automatically into Common Partnership Units on a one-for-one basis. If on such date any portion of the Class B Preferred Return is accrued but unpaid, the Partnership shall pay such amount to the Class B Limited Partners in the form of cash, a demand promissory note having an initial principal balance equal to such amount and bearing an annual interest rate of 10.5%, or Common Partnership Units having a value equal to such amount, at the election of each Class B Limited Partner.
