Sections 371 et seq. (the "Act"). Under the Act, the Issuer is authorized to enter into agreements providing for the acquisition of industrial and commercial development projects and the sale thereof to occupants for the public purposes of alleviating unemployment and maintaining employment at a high level and creating and developing employment opportunities by the acquisition and financing of industrial, commercial, manufacturing and research and development enterprises.


(b) The Issuer has undertaken the financing of the costs of a project (the "Project") consisting of the acquisition of certain real property and the improvements thereon fronting on Island Avenue and otherwise abutting a loop egress ramp from Interstate 95 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (the "Premises"), the construction and installation of certain improvements and equipment in and on the Premises (the Premises, together with such improvements and equipment being hereinafter referred to as the "Project Facilities"), and the sale of the Project Facilities to the Company for use and operation by the Company or its designee as a suite hotel. A more complete description of the Project Facilities and the Premises are set forth in Exhibit "A" attached to this Agreement. The Issuer and Philadelphia HSR Limited Partnership, a Massachusetts limited partnership ("HSR"), entered into an Installment Sale Agreement (the "Original Agreement"), dated as of October 1, 1983, for the sale of the Project Facilities to HSR on an installment basis. To finance the Project, the Issuer issued its Commercial Development Revenue Bonds (Suite Hotel Project), Series A in the aggregate principal amount of $27,275,000 (the "Prior Bonds") under a Mortgage and Trust Indenture dated as of October 1, 1983 between the Issuer and Mellon Bank, N.A. (as successor trustee to CoreStates Bank, N.A., which was successor by merger to First Pennsylvania Bank, N.A.), as trustee (the "Prior Trustee"), as amended and supplemented by a Supplemental Mortgage and Trust Indenture dated as of June 1, 1991 (collectively, the "Original Indenture") between the Issuer and the Prior Trustee.   7

II. Project Facilities.


2.1 Transfer of Project Facilities. The Company hereby grants, conveys and assigns to the Issuer and the Trustee all of the right, title and interest which it may have in and to the Project Facilities. Upon request of the Issuer or the Trustee, the Company will grant, convey and assign, or cause to be granted, conveyed and assigned, to the Issuer and the Trustee, by deed, bill of sale, lease, assignment, license, grant of easement or other appropriate instrument, such interest as it may have in the Project Facilities and such additional rights as the Issuer or the Trustee shall require in order to comply with the Act. The Company will be entitled to physical possession and control of the Project Facilities, the Premises and all machinery, equipment, improvements, fixtures and all other tangible personal property thereon, at all times prior, during and subsequent to such granting, conveyance and assignment, and will be liable at all such times for all risks, losses and damages with respect to the Project Facilities and the Premises. The Issuer and the Trustee agree that, without the prior written consent of the Company, it will not create any lien, encumbrance, charge, easement, license, covenant, reversion, condition or restriction upon the Project Facilities other than the security intended to be given under the Indenture.


2.2 Construction of Future Improvements to Project Facilities. The Company may award contracts and purchase orders covering construction for future improvements of the Project Facilities. Any contracts and purchase orders so awarded are hereinafter called the "Contracts." Each Contract for construction will contain a valid waiver by the contractor of the right to file and maintain any mechanic's liens on the Project Facilities, which waiver shall be filed before commencement of work in the office of the Prothonotary of the City of Philadelphia. The Company will pay all sums required to complete the same to the extent that the cost thereof is not provided pursuant to the Indenture.


2.3 Provisions with Respect to Title. Any Contracts will provide that legal title to the equipment included in the Project Facilities shall pass directly from the Contractor to the Issuer, and at no time shall legal title to any portion of the Project Facilities vest in, nor become the property of, the Company. The Company agrees that title to the Project Facilities will remain in the Issuer until settlement pursuant to Section 4.6 hereof, and that the Issuer's title to the Project Facilities shall constitute ownership and not a security interest; provided, however, that the Company alone shall be entitled to deduct all depreciation on,


4   10 and take any available tax credits in respect of, the Project Facilities on the Company's income tax returns.


2.4 Administration of Contracts. The Company will have full responsibility for preparing, administering, amending and enforcing any Contracts and litigating or settling claims thereunder, and will be entitled to all warranties, guaranties and indemnities provided under any Contracts and by law. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.6 hereof, the Company may make additions to or changes in the Project Facilities without prior consultation with the Issuer or the Trustee (as hereinafter defined).


2.5 Notices and Permits. The Company shall give or cause to be given all notices and comply or cause compliance with all laws, ordinances, municipal rules and regulations and requirements of public authorities applying to or affecting the conduct of work on the Project Facilities, and the Company will defend and save the Issuer, its officers, members, agents and employees, harmless from all fines due to failure to comply therewith. The Company shall procure or cause to be procured all permits and licenses necessary for the prosecution of the work.


2.6 Additions and Changes to the Project Facilities. The Company may, at its option and at its own cost and expense, at any time and from time to time, make such improvements, additions and changes to the Project Facilities as it may deem to be desirable for its uses and purposes, provided that: (i) such improvements, additions and changes shall constitute part of the Project Facilities and be subject to the liens and security interests created by the Indenture; and (ii) the Company shall not permit any removal, demolition, substitution, improvement, alteration or deterioration of the Project Facilities or any other act which would materially impair or reduce the usefulness or value thereof, or the Issuer's interest therein, or the security provided under the Indenture without the prior written consent of the Issuer and the Trustee. The Company will revise Exhibit "A" from time to time to reflect any material additions to, deletions from and changes in the Project Facilities and will notify the Issuer and the Trustee of the nature, location and estimated costs of such modifications. Upon written request of the Company, the Issuer shall give a bill of sale to the Company, and the Trustee shall execute termination statements for any filings made to perfect the security interests created by the Indenture and by Section 4.2 hereof for any chattel or fixture permanently removed from the Project Facilities by the Company.


III. Financing the Project.


3.1 Issuance of Bonds; Additional Financing. In order to refinance the Project Facilities, the Issuer, upon request of the Company, will use its best efforts to issue and sell, in one or more series, $27,820,000 aggregate principal amount of its Commercial Development Revenue Refunding Bonds (Doubletree Guest Suites Project) Series 1997A.


5   11 The Bonds will be issued under and secured by the Indenture, intended to be recorded in the Department of Records in and for the City of Philadelphia prior to the recordation of this Agreement. The Company agrees that its interest in the Project Facilities and its rights hereunder are and shall be subordinate to the rights of the Trustee under the Indenture, and agrees to comply with and be bound by all of the provisions thereof that are binding upon the Issuer. The Company hereby agrees to make all payments of the Purchase Price (as defined in Section 4.3 hereof) and other amounts due hereunder to enable the Issuer to make all payments required of it under the Bonds and the Indenture. The Bonds will be payable solely from payments made by the Company pursuant to the terms hereof, or from other moneys available for such purpose under the terms of the Indenture. The net proceeds of the Bonds shall be applied pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof and Section 4.02 of the Indenture.


3.2 Bond Fund. Upon the issuance of the Bonds, the Company will provide the Prior Trustee $1,207,356.64 which, together with the proceeds of the Bonds in the amount of $27,264,712.80, will be used to pay the principal of and accrued interest on the Prior Bonds on February 20, 1997. The Company shall deposit monies with the Trustee in the Bond Fund in amounts sufficient for the payment of Costs of issuance as provided in Section 3.04 of the Indenture.


3.3 Bonds Not to Become Arbitrage Bonds. As provided in Article V of the Indenture, the Trustee will invest moneys held by the Trustee as directed by the Company. The Issuer and the Company hereby covenant to each other and to the holders of the Bonds that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other instrument, they will neither make nor instruct the Trustee to make any investment or other use of the Debt Service Fund or other proceeds of the Bonds which would cause the Bonds to be arbitrage bonds under Section 148 of the Code and the regulations thereunder, and that they will comply with the requirements of such Section and regulations throughout the terms of the Bonds. The Company shall not resell any Bonds purchased by it pursuant to Section 6.06 of the Indenture at a price in excess of the principal amount thereof unless it shall have first delivered to the Trustee an opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that such resale will not cause interest on the Bonds to become subject to Federal income tax under the Code, as then enacted and construed.


3.4 Restriction on Use of Bond Fund. The Company shall not use or direct the use of moneys from the Bond Fund in any way, or take or omit to take any other action, so as to cause the interest on any Bonds to become subject to Federal income tax, and shall use all of the spendable proceeds of the Bonds to refund the Prior Bonds.


IV. Sale and Purchase of the Project Facilities.


4.1 Sale and Purchase of the Project Facilities. The Issuer hereby agrees to sell to the Company, who hereby agrees to purchase, the Project Facilities under and subject


6   12 nevertheless, to all easements, covenants, reversions, conditions and restrictions existing at the time of settlement pursuant to Section 4.6 hereof, for the Purchase Price set forth in Section 4.3 hereof.


4.2 Security Interest. In order to secure its obligations hereunder, the Company hereby assigns, transfers, sets over and grants to the Issuer and the Trustee a security interest in all of the Company's right, title and interest which it may have in and to the Project Facilities consisting of equipment, including without limitation all equipment described in Exhibit A whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the Company, and in all fixtures, fittings, furnishings, furniture, machinery, appliances, apparatus, equipment, rents, contracts, permits, licenses, leases, income and accounts now owned or hereafter acquired by the Company and located in or on the Project Facilities, all substitutions and replacements therefor, and all proceeds thereof, including all insurance and condemnation proceeds. The terms of this Section 4.2 shall constitute a security agreement within the meaning of the Pennsylvania Uniform Commercial Code. The terms of this Section 4.2 shall not apply to any such equipment or other personal property which is now or hereafter leased by the Company or is subject to a purchase money security interest.


4.3 Payment of Purchase Price. The Company shall pay or cause to be paid as set forth in this Section 4.3 the purchase price (the "Purchase Price") for the Project Facilities. The Purchase Price will be an amount equal to the principal or applicable redemption price of, and interest on, the Bonds. The Purchase Price shall be payable in installments which, as to amount, correspond to the payments of the principal or applicable redemption price of, and interest on, the Bonds. All such installments of the Purchase Price are to be made to the Trustee on or prior to the corresponding principal, redemption or interest payment dates of the Bonds in funds available for payment, on such Bond payment dates. If the Company fails to make any payment or fails to make any complete payment required pursuant to this Section 4.3, the Trustee shall demand payment of such deficiency or non-payment from the Guarantor under the Guaranty. Payments of the principal or applicable redemption price of and interest on the Bonds from any moneys held by the Trustee in the Debt Service Fund established under the Indenture shall constitute payments of Purchase Price on behalf of the Company.


4.4 Acceleration of Payment to Redeem Bonds. Whenever any Bonds are subject to optional redemption pursuant to the Indenture, the Issuer will, upon receipt of written direction of the Company, direct the Trustee to call the same for redemption as provided in the Indenture. Whenever any Bonds are subject to mandatory redemption pursuant to the Indenture, the Company will cooperate with the Issuer and the Trustee in effecting such redemption.


4.5 No Defense or Set-Off. Except as provided in Section 7.16 hereof, the obligations of the Company to make or cause to be made payments of the Purchase Price


7   13 shall be absolute and unconditional without defense or set-off (except for the defense of actual payment) by reason of any default by the Issuer under this Agreement or under any other agreement between the Company and the Issuer or for any other reason, including without limitation, any acts or circumstances that may constitute failure of consideration, destruction of or damage to the Project Facilities, commercial frustration of purpose, or failure of the Issuer to perform and observe any agreement, whether express or implied, or any duty, liability or obligation arising out of or connected with this Agreement, it being the intention of the parties that the payments required of or on behalf of the Company hereunder will be paid in full when due without any delay or diminution whatsoever. Payments of the Purchase Price and additional sums required to be paid by or on behalf of the Company hereunder shall be received by the Issuer or its assigns as net sums and the Company agrees to pay or cause to be paid all charges against or which might diminish such net sums.


4.6 Settlement. Settlement for the Project Facilities shall take place within 60 days after (i) the Company shall have paid or caused to be paid all amounts to be paid by or on behalf of the Company under the terms of this Agreement and (ii) the Indenture shall have been released pursuant to Section 12.01 thereof; provided that no Event of Default as defined herein has occurred and is continuing, and provided that settlement shall be held only after the Company gives 10 days prior written notice to the Issuer of said settlement, said notice to be given by the Company not later than 10 days prior to the expiration of said 60-day period. In the event the Company refuses to take and record title to the Project Facilities within the aforesaid 60-day period, the Company shall pay to the Issuer, or its agent, a service charge of $100.00 per month until such time as the Company accepts and records title to the Project Facilities. At settlement, the Issuer will convey to the Company by special warranty deed and bill of sale the Project Facilities excepting, however, any part of the Project Facilities taken by eminent domain (or conveyed by a bona fide sale in lieu thereof) during the term of this Agreement and subject, nevertheless, to all easements, covenants, reversions, conditions and restrictions, existing at the time of the conveyance to the Issuer pursuant to the Original Indenture and the Original Agreement, or thereafter created or agreed to by the Company. The Company agrees to pay all taxes, charges and costs, including but not limited to reasonable legal fees, recording fees, notary fees and any other similar fees and charges which must be paid in order to complete settlement and in connection with the conveyance of the interest of the Issuer in the Project Facilities from the Issuer to the Company hereunder and, with respect to the Indenture and any other mortgage lien created by the Issuer with the Company's consent, all mortgage satisfaction costs and fees.


4.7 Assignment of Issuer's Rights. As security for the payment of the Bonds, the Issuer will assign to the Trustee all the Issuer's rights under this Agreement (except the rights of the Issuer under Sections 5.4 and 5.7 hereof). The Company consents to such assignment and agrees to make or cause to be made payments of the Purchase Price under Sections 4.3 and 4.4 hereof directly to the Trustee without defense or set-off by reason
