The information in this prospectus is not complete and may be changed.

Offer to Exchange
All Outstanding Senior Floating Rate Notes due 2011
($290,000,000 Aggregate Principal Amount Outstanding)
For Registered Senior Floating Rate Notes due 2011

We are offering to exchange all $290 million aggregate principal amount of our outstanding Senior Floating Rate Notes due 2011, or old notes, for $290 million aggregate principal amount of our registered Senior Floating Rate Notes due 2011, or new notes. The old notes and new notes are collectively referred to as the notes. The old notes were issued on May 26, 2004 and July 6, 2004. The terms of the new notes are identical to the terms of the old notes, except that the new notes are registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and, therefore, are freely transferable, subject to certain conditions.

You should consider the following:

  Investing in the notes involves material risks. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 14 of this prospectus.
 
  Our offer to exchange old notes for new notes will be open until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on          , 2004, unless we extend the offer.
 
  You should also carefully review the procedures for tendering the old notes beginning on page 26 of this prospectus.
 
  If you fail to tender your old notes, you will continue to hold unregistered securities and your ability to transfer them could be adversely affected.
 
  No public market currently exists for the notes. We do not intend to list the new notes on any securities exchange and, therefore, no active public market for them is anticipated.

Information about the notes:

  The notes will mature on June 1, 2011.
 
  We will pay interest on the notes semi-annually on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on December 1, 2004, at the rate per year equal to six-month LIBOR (as defined in the notes), plus 4.25%.
 
  We may redeem the notes on or after December 1, 2006, at certain rates set forth on page 54 of this prospectus.
 
  We also have the option on or prior to June 1, 2007, to redeem up to 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of the notes with the net proceeds of certain equity offerings.
 
  The notes are our senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with our existing and future senior unsecured debt.
 
  The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on an unsecured senior basis by FelCor Lodging Trust Incorporated and by certain of our and its subsidiaries.
 
  If we undergo a change of control or sell certain of our assets, we may be required to offer to purchase the notes from you.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The date of this prospectus is       , 2004

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

     The information contained in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus include forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “pro forma” or other variations thereof (including their use in the negative), or by discussions of strategies, plans or intentions. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by such forward-looking statements. Among these factors are:

  general economic and lodging industry conditions, including the continuation and magnitude of the current recovery in the economy, the realization of anticipated job growth, the impact of U.S. military involvement in the Middle East and elsewhere, future acts of terrorism, and the impact on the travel industry of increased security precautions;
 
  our overall debt levels and our ability to obtain new financing and service debt;
 
  our inability to retain earnings;
 
  our liquidity and capital expenditures;
 
  our growth strategy and acquisition activities;
 
  our inability to sell the hotels held for sale at anticipated prices; and
 
  competitive conditions in the lodging industry.

In addition, such forward-looking statements are necessarily dependent upon assumptions and estimates that may prove to be incorrect. Accordingly, while we believe that the plans, intentions and expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that such plans, intentions or expectations will be achieved. The information contained in this prospectus and in the other documents referenced herein, including “Risk Factors,” identifies important factors that could cause such differences.

SUMMARY

     You should read the following summary together with the more detailed information regarding our company, the notes, the exchange offer and the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this prospectus or incorporated herein by reference. Unless the context otherwise indicates, the words “we,” “our,” “ours,” “us” and the “Company” refer to FelCor Lodging Trust Incorporated, or FelCor, FelCor Lodging Limited Partnership, or FelCor LP, and their respective subsidiaries, collectively.

FelCor and FelCor LP

     We are the nation’s second largest lodging real estate investment trust, or REIT, with ownership interests in 163 hotels at March 31, 2004, with nearly 45,000 rooms and suites. We owned a 100% interest in 126 hotels, a 90% or greater interest in entities owning seven hotels, a 60% interest in an entity owning two hotels, a 51% interest in an entity owning eight hotels and a 50% interest in separate unconsolidated entities owning 20 hotels. As a result of our ownership interests in the operating lessees of 158 of these hotels, we reflect their operating revenues and expenses in our consolidated statements of operations. The operations of 156 of the 158 consolidated hotels were included in continuing operations at March 31, 2004. The remaining two hotels were held for sale as of March 31, 2004, and their operations are included in discontinued operations. The operating revenues and expenses of the remaining five hotels are unconsolidated.

     Our hotels are located in the United States (33 states) and Canada, with concentrations in Texas (36 hotels), California (20 hotels), Florida (16 hotels) and Georgia (14 hotels). We own the largest number of Embassy Suites Hotels, Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn and independently owned Doubletree-branded hotels in the world. At March 31, 2004, 29 of our hotels were designated as non-strategic (excluding two hotels that were held for sale) and are expected to be sold within the next two years.

Business Strategy

     We have identified three long-term strategic objectives: growth in our earnings; improvement in our return on invested capital; and reduction in our overall financial leverage. In order to achieve these strategic objectives, our business strategy is to: dispose of non-strategic hotels; acquire hotels that meet our refined investment strategy; improve the competitive positioning of our core hotels through aggressive asset management, selective re-branding and the judicious application of capital; and pay down debt through a combination of cash on hand, operational cash flow (which should become available as the lodging industry recovers), the sale of non-strategic hotels and, if appropriate, other capital transactions.

     Non-Strategic Hotels

     In 2003, we completed a comprehensive review (that began in 2000) of our investment strategy and of our existing hotel portfolio, as a result of which we decided to sell certain under-performing smaller hotels in secondary and tertiary markets, in markets with high supply growth and in markets in which we had an undesirable concentration, such as Dallas. We had identified 53 hotels as being non-strategic by the end of 2002, and we identified an additional 18 non-strategic hotels during 2003. At March 31, 2004, we had disposed of 40 of the hotels so identified, had two hotels under firm contracts of sale with non-refundable deposits (which were classified as “held for sale” and included in our discontinued operations) and had 29 remaining hotels identified for sale over the following two years. As a result of our decision to undertake the sale of these non-strategic hotels, we recorded impairment charges totaling $158 million during 2002 and $246 million during 2003 to reflect the difference between the book value and the then estimated fair market value of these hotels. Since March 31, 2004, we have sold three hotels, including the two “held for sale” at March 31, 2004, for aggregate proceeds of approximately $12.7 million.

     The 29 non-strategic hotels included in our continuing operations at March 31, 2004, represented 18% of the rooms in our hotel portfolio, but approximately 8% of our consolidated hotel operating profit in the first quarter of 2004. The operating margin for these 29 non-strategic hotels was 18.6%, compared to 30.3% for the remainder of our portfolio, during the first quarter of 2004.

     Refined Investment Strategy

     We have begun to consider the acquisition of hotels that meet our refined investment strategy. We plan to focus our acquisition efforts on higher quality hotels in markets with significant barriers to entry, such as central business districts and resort locations. We anticipate that this focus will lead to an increase in the number of our upper upscale properties and group and resort destination properties, and greater diversification of our portfolio by geographic location, brand and customer base. In keeping with this strategy, in March 2004, we purchased the 132-room Santa Monica Holiday Inn. This hotel has a premier location across from the Santa Monica Pier and the Santa Monica beaches and will continue to be operated as a full service, upscale hotel because of the high room rates charged in this market.

     Improving the Competitive Positioning of Our Core Hotels

     We seek to improve the competitive positioning of our core hotels through aggressive asset management and maintenance of strong relationships with our brand-owner managers. While REIT requirements prohibit us from directly managing our hotels, we work closely with our brand-owner managers to actively monitor and review hotel operations. We strongly urge our managers to implement best practices in expense management at our hotels, and we strive to influence brand strategy on marketing and revenue enhancement programs. One of our officers is assigned to work, on a full-time basis, with our managers to maximize the revenue of our hotels. Consistent with our commitment to position our hotels for a recovery in the lodging industry, we successfully re-branded three hotels during 2003. During the first quarter of 2004, these re-branded hotels achieved increases in revenue per available room, or RevPAR, compared to the same period of 2003, of 92%, 49% and 70%, respectively. We also continued making both revenue enhancing and maintenance capital improvements at our hotels. During 2003, we spent an aggregate of $68 million on capital expenditures, including our pro rata share of capital improvements made by our unconsolidated joint ventures. In addition to our capital expenditures, in 2003, we spent 7.3% of our hotel room revenue on repair and maintenance expenses. During 2004, we currently expect to make $75 to $100 million in capital expenditures on our hotels.

     Paydown of Debt

     We are committed to pay down our debt, while maintaining short-term liquidity. At March 31, 2004, we had cash balances of $232 million, which included approximately $55 million held under our hotel management agreements to meet our hotel minimum working capital requirements or held in escrow under certain of our debt agreements. Consistent with our strategy to reduce our debt, reduce our interest expense and extend the maturities of our debt, since March 31, 2003, we (i) issued 4.6 million shares of $1.95 Series A preferred stock in April 2004, realizing additional net cash proceeds of $105 million, (ii) issued $290 million aggregate principal amount of senior floating rate notes due 2011, (iii) borrowed $193.8 million under secured debt facility, (iv) purchased, in the open market and pursuant to two tender offers, $440 million aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 9 1/2% senior notes due 2008, which currently bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum and (v) redeemed all $175 million aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 7 3/8% senior notes due 2004. This leaves us with no other significant debt maturities (other than those that may be extended at our option) until 2007, when $125 million of our 7 5/8% senior notes due 2007 mature. We will continue to seek opportunities to acquire or pay down our debt on an economically sound basis. See “Summary—Recent Transactions.”

Strategic Relationships

     We benefit from our brand-owner and manager alliances with Hilton Hotels Corporation (Embassy Suites Hotels, Hilton and Doubletree), InterContinental Hotels Group PLC (Crowne Plaza and Holiday Inn) and Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. (Sheraton and Westin). These relationships enable us to work effectively with our managers to maximize operating margins and operating cash flow from our hotels.

  Hilton Hotels Corporation (www.hiltonworldwide.com), or Hilton, is recognized internationally as a preeminent hospitality company. Hilton develops, owns, manages or franchises more than 2,000 hotels and resorts, including more than 334,000 rooms, in 50 states and the District of Columbia.

Subsidiaries of Hilton managed 66 of our hotels at March 31, 2004. Hilton is a 50% partner in joint ventures with us in the ownership of 12 hotels and the development of a residential luxury condominium, and is the holder of a 10% equity interest in certain of our consolidated subsidiaries that own six hotels.

Developments During 2004

     In March 2004, we elected to terminate our line of credit, which resulted in the first quarter charge-off of unamortized loan costs of approximately $0.2 million and which we expect to produce cash savings of approximately $0.4 million during the remainder of 2004.

     On March 12, 2004, we purchased the 132-room Santa Monica Holiday Inn for $27 million.

     On April 5, 2004, we issued an aggregate of 4.6 million shares of our $1.95 Series A preferred stock in an underwritten public offering, generating net proceeds of approximately $105 million. We used these proceeds to reduce debt, as part of our debt-reduction plan.

     Effective April 23, 2004, Richard J. O’Brien, our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer since 2001, submitted his resignation. Mr. O’Brien left FelCor to pursue other opportunities. We have engaged a professional search firm to assist us in identifying potential candidates to fill the vacancy created by Mr. O’Brien’s resignation.

     Since December 31, 2003, through June 30, 2004, we have sold seven hotels, receiving gross proceeds of approximately $43 million.

     On June 30, 2004, we assigned our interests in one of our hotels in San Francisco to the ground lessor pursuant to a settlement agreement, and we paid the ground lessor $5 million, in exchange for a release from the ground lessor. In addition, we also received a release from any termination liability to IHG arising from the termination of their management agreement for the hotel. See “Business and Properties—Legal Proceedings.”

Recent Transactions

     As part of our plan to reduce our financial leverage, reduce our interest expense and extend the maturities of our debt, we consummated the following transactions:

  The Offers. We issued $290 million aggregate principal amount of our old notes in two separate offerings. The net proceeds of the offerings were used to fund a portion of the offers to purchase described below.
 
  Offers to Purchase. In June 2004, we concluded an offer to purchase $275 million aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 9 1/2% senior notes due 2008, and in July 2004, we concluded another offer to purchase $115 million aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 9 1/2% senior notes. Those notes currently bear interest at a rate of 10% per year. The initial offer was made at a purchase price of $1,052.05 per $1,000 principal amount of the notes, plus an early tender premium of $20 per $1,000 principal amount of notes that were tendered on or prior to May 24, 2004. The second offer was made at a purchase price of $1,041.62 per $1,000 principal amount of the notes, plus an early tender premium of $20 per $1,000 principal amount of notes that were tendered on or prior to July 12, 2004. We may elect to redeem all or any portion of the 9 1/2% senior notes due 2008 that remain outstanding, on or after September 15, 2004, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the indenture under which the 9 1/2% senior notes due 2008 were issued. The offers to purchase did not constitute calls for redemption.
 
  Redemption of 7 3/8% senior notes due 2004. In June 2004, we also redeemed all $175 million principal amount of our 7 3/8% senior notes due 2004, at a redemption price determined in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing those notes. We funded a portion of the redemption price by borrowing the $169 million then available under our secured debt facility.
 
  Termination of Fixed-to-Floating Interest Rate Swaps. Since late May 2004, we have terminated fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps in an aggregate notional amount of $400 million at a net cost to us of approximately $2.6 million. As a result, at July 23, 2004, our floating interest rate debt represented approximately 28% of our consolidated total debt.

The Exchange Offer

     On May 26, 2004 and July 6, 2004, we completed private offerings of $175 million and $115 million, respectively, of our senior floating rate notes due 2011, or the old notes. We entered into registration rights agreements with the initial purchaser in the private offerings of the old notes in which we agreed, among other things, to deliver to you this prospectus and to complete this exchange offer within 180 days following May 26, 2004. You are entitled to exchange in this exchange offer the old notes that you hold for registered new notes with substantially identical terms. If this exchange offer is not completed on or prior to November 22, 2004, then the interest rate on the old notes will increase by 0.5% until it is completed or, under certain circumstances, until a resale registration statement with respect to the old notes is declared effective by the SEC. You should read the discussion under the headings “— Description of New Notes” and “Description of the Notes and Guarantees” for further information regarding the new notes.

     We believe that the new notes to be issued in this exchange offer may be resold by you without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, subject to certain conditions.

     The following summarizes the terms of the exchange offer. You should read the discussion under the heading “The Exchange Offer” for further information regarding this exchange offer and resale of the new notes.

         
Securities to be Exchanged   On May 26 and July 6, we issued $175 million and $115 million, respectively, principal amount of old notes to the initial purchaser in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The terms of the new notes and the old notes are substantially identical in all material respects, except that the new notes will be freely transferable by the holders, except as otherwise provided in this prospectus. See “Description of the Notes and Guarantees.”
 
       
The Exchange Offer   $1,000 principal amount of new notes in exchange for each $1,000 principal amount of old notes. As of the date of this prospectus, old notes representing $290 million aggregate principal amount are outstanding.
 
       
    Based on interpretations by the staff of the SEC, as set forth in no-action letters issued to certain third parties unrelated to us, we believe that new notes issued pursuant to the exchange offer in exchange for old notes may be offered for resale, resold or otherwise transferred by their holders, other than any holder that is an “affiliate” of FelCor LP, FelCor or certain of their subsidiaries within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act, or a broker-dealer who purchased old notes directly from us to resell pursuant to Rule 144A or any other available exemption under the Securities Act, without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, if the new notes are acquired in the ordinary course of the holders’ business and the holders have no arrangement with any person to engage in a distribution of new notes.
 
       
    The SEC, however, has not considered this exchange offer through a no-action letter, and we cannot be sure that the staff of the SEC would make a similar determination with respect to this exchange offer. Furthermore, each holder, other than a broker-dealer, must acknowledge that it is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage or participate in, a distribution of new notes. Each broker-dealer that receives new notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer must acknowledge that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of such new notes. Broker-dealers who acquired old notes directly from us and not as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities may not rely on the staff’s interpretations discussed above or participate in the exchange offer and must comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in order to resell the old notes.

See “The Exchange Offer — Purpose and Effect.”

Any old notes not accepted for exchange for any reason will be returned to you, without expense, as soon as practicable after the expiration or termination of the exchange offer.

   and the Old Notes
  Interest on the old notes and the new notes will accrue from May 26, 2004.

Procedures for Tendering
   Old Notes
  Each holder of the old notes wishing to accept the exchange offer must complete, sign and date the letter of transmittal, or a copy of the letter of transmittal, in accordance with the instructions contained in this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal, and mail or otherwise deliver the letter of transmittal, or the copy, together with the old notes and any other required documentation, to the exchange agent at the address set forth on page 30. Persons holding the old notes through The Depository Trust Company, or DTC, and wishing to accept the exchange offer must do so pursuant to DTC’s Automated Tender Offer Program, by which each tendering participant will agree to be bound by the letter of transmittal. By executing or agreeing to be bound by the letter of transmittal, each holder will represent to us that, among other things:
 
       
    the new notes acquired pursuant to the exchange offer are being obtained in the ordinary course of business of the person receiving the new notes;
 
       
    the holder is not engaging in, and does not intend to engage in, a distribution of the new notes;
 
       
    the holder does not have an arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the new notes; and
 
       
    the holder is not an “affiliate,” as defined under Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act, of FelCor LP, FelCor or any of the subsidiary guarantors.
 
       
    We will accept for exchange any and all old notes that are properly tendered, and not withdrawn, in the exchange offer prior to the expiration date. The new notes will be delivered promptly following the expiration date. See “The Exchange Offer — Terms of the Exchange Offer.”

Table of Contents

         
Ranking   The new notes will be unsecured and will rank equally with all of our existing and future unsecured senior debt. The new notes will be effectively subordinated to all of our and our consolidated subsidiaries’ secured debt and to all other debt of our non-guarantor subsidiaries. At July 23, 2004, we and our consolidated subsidiaries had approximately $1,032 million of secured debt, all of which was mortgage and capitalized lease debt and effectively senior to the new notes to the extent of the value of the underlying assets. At July 23, 2004, our non-guarantor subsidiaries had no other unsecured debt.
 
       
Certain Other Covenants   The indenture governing the old notes and the new notes restricts our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to:
 
       
    incur additional debt;
 
       
    incur additional secured debt and subsidiary debt;
 
       
    make certain distributions, investments and other restricted payments;
 
       
    limit the ability of restricted subsidiaries to make payments to us;
 
       
    issue or sell stock of restricted subsidiaries;
 
       
    enter into transactions with affiliates;
 
       
    create liens;
 
       
    sell assets;
 
       
    enter into certain sale-leaseback transactions; and
 
       
    with respect to FelCor LP and FelCor, consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of their assets.
 
       
    These covenants are subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions.

The summary historical information is presented as of and for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003, and as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2004. We derived the summary historical financial information for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003 from our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm. Certain reclassifications have been made to previously reported amounts to conform to current year presentation with no effect to previously reported net income (loss), shareholders’ equity or partners’ capital. The summary historical financial information as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2004, have been derived from the unaudited financial statements, which have been prepared by our management on the same basis as the audited financial statements and, in the opinion of our management, include all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals that are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such periods. The statement of operations and other data for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2004, are not necessarily indicative of results to be anticipated for the entire year.

     You should read the following in conjunction with “Selected Historical Consolidated Financial Information” and the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus or incorporated herein by reference.

(5)   Historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminish predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, most industry investors consider supplemental measurements of performance to be helpful in evaluating a real estate company’s operations. We consider Funds From Operations, or FFO, and Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization, or EBITDA, to be supplemental measures of a REIT’s performance and should be considered along with, but not as an alternative to, net income as a measure of our operating performance.
 
    The White Paper on Funds From Operations approved by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, defines FFO as net income or loss (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains or losses from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis. FFO and EBITDA are not measures of operating performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S., or GAAP. However, we believe that FFO and EBITDA are helpful to management and investors as supplemental measures of the performance of an equity REIT. We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by NAREIT. This may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition, or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do.
 
    FFO and EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to net income, operating profit, cash flow from operations, or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP. Neither should FFO, FFO per share and EBITDA be considered as measures of our liquidity or indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. FFO per share does not measure, and should not be used as a measure of amounts that accrue directly to the benefit of stockholders.

The merger termination costs, merger related financing costs, and swap termination costs related to our proposed merger with MeriStar Hospitality Corporation, or MeriStar, that was terminated in September 2001 following the events of September 11, 2001. The lease acquisition costs related to the acquisition of our lessees that occurred following the enactment of the REIT Modernization Act.

RISK FACTORS

     An investment in the new notes involves a significant degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risk factors, together with all of the other information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus ,in evaluating the exchange offer.

If you do not properly tender your old notes, you will continue to hold unregistered old notes and your ability to transfer old notes will be adversely affected

     We will only issue new notes in exchange for old notes that are timely received by the exchange agent, together with all required documents, including a properly completed and signed letter of transmittal. Therefore, you should allow sufficient time to ensure timely delivery of the old notes and you should carefully follow the instructions on how to tender your old notes. Neither we nor the exchange agent are required to tell you of any defects or irregularities with respect to your tender of the old notes. If you do not tender your old notes properly, then, after we consummate the exchange offer, you may continue to hold old notes that are subject to the existing transfer restrictions. In addition, if you tender your old notes for the purpose of participating in a distribution of the new notes, you will be required to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of the new notes. If you are a broker-dealer that receives new notes for your own account in exchange for old notes that you acquired as a result of market-making activities or any other trading activities, you will be required to acknowledge that you will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such new notes. After the exchange offer is consummated, if you continue to hold any old notes, you may have difficulty selling them because there may be only a small amount of old notes outstanding.

Future terrorist activities and United States military involvement in the Middle East and elsewhere may adversely affect, and create uncertainty in, our business

     The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, caused a significant disruption in travel-related businesses in the United States. Consistent with the rest of the lodging industry, we experienced substantial declines in occupancy and average daily rates, or ADR, due to a decline in both business and leisure travel in 2001 and throughout 2002. In 2003, the continuing sluggish economy, the crisis in the Middle East, culminating in Operation Iraqi Freedom, continued United States military involvement in the Middle East and ongoing threats of terrorism acted to restrict travel and lodging demand. Another act of terrorism in the United States, protracted or expanded United States military involvement in the War on Terrorism, heightened “Threat Levels,” contractions in the airline industry, or increased security precautions making air travel more difficult could limit or delay any recovery, or result in further decreases, in travel and adversely affect our business. We are unable to predict with certainty when or if travel and lodging demand will be fully restored to historically normal levels. The factors described above, as well as other political or economic events, may limit or delay any recovery in the lodging industry, thereby extending the already lengthy period of uncertainty that has adversely affected the lodging industry, including us, as a result of reduced public travel.

Our financial leverage is high and is exacerbated by depressed operating cash flows

     At March 31, 2004, our consolidated debt of $2.0 billion represented 68% of our total market capitalization. The decline in our revenues and cash flow from operations during 2001, 2002 and 2003, have adversely affected our public debt ratings and may limit our access to additional debt capital. Historically, we have incurred debt for acquisitions and to fund our renovation, redevelopment and rebranding programs. Limitations upon our access to debt financing could adversely affect our ability to fund such activities and programs in the future.

     At March 31, 2004, approximately $838 million of our $2.0 billion of consolidated debt was secured by mortgages or capital leases. Due to the depressed operating cash flow from our remaining unencumbered hotels, we are limited in the amount of additional secured indebtedness we can obtain, although we have since borrowed $193.8 million under our secured debt facility.

     The economic slowdown, which began in early 2001 and which was exacerbated by the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, has resulted in consecutive declines in our RevPAR during 2001, 2002 and 2003, compared to the prior years. If RevPAR worsens, or continues at current levels for a protracted period of time, it could have a material adverse effect on our operations and earnings, including our ability to pay dividends and service our debt.

14


Table of Contents

     Our financial leverage could have important consequences. For example, it could:

  limit our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, renovation, redevelopment and rebranding plans, acquisitions, debt service requirements and other purposes;
 
  require us to agree to additional restrictions and limitations on our business operations and capital structure to obtain additional or continued financing;
 
  increase our vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions, as well as to fluctuations in interest rates;
 
  require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our debt, thereby reducing funds available for operations, future business opportunities, the payment of dividends or other purposes;
 
  limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we compete; and
 
  place us at a competitive disadvantage, compared to our competitors that have less debt.

Our debt agreements will allow us to incur additional debt, which, if incurred, could exacerbate the other risks described herein

     We may be able to incur substantial debt in the future. Although the instruments governing our indebtedness contain restrictions on the incurrence of additional debt, these restrictions are subject to a number of qualifications and exceptions and, under certain circumstances, debt incurred in compliance with these restrictions could be substantial. If new debt is added to our current debt levels, the substantial risks described above would intensify.

We have restrictive debt covenants that could adversely affect our ability to run our business

     The indentures governing the notes and our existing senior unsecured notes contain various restrictive covenants and incurrence tests, including, among others, provisions that can restrict our ability to:

  incur indebtedness;
 
  incur secured indebtedness;
 
  make common and preferred distributions;
 
  make investments;
 
  engage in transactions with affiliates;
 
  incur liens;
 
  merge or consolidate with another person;
 
  dispose of all or substantially all of our assets; and
 
  permit limitations on the ability of our subsidiaries to make payments to us.

     These restrictions may adversely affect our ability to finance our operations or engage in other business activities that may be in our best interest.

     Our existing publicly-traded senior unsecured notes require that we satisfy total leverage, secured leverage and interest coverage tests in order to: incur additional indebtedness, except to refinance maturing debt with replacement debt, as defined under our indentures; pay dividends in excess of the minimum dividend required to meet the REIT qualification test; repurchase capital stock; or merge. As of the date of this prospectus, we have satisfied all such tests. Under the terms of the indentures governing our existing 9 1/2% senior notes due 2008 and our 8 1/2% senior notes due 2011, we are prohibited from repurchasing any of our capital stock, whether common or preferred, subject to certain exceptions, so long as our debt-to-EBITDA ratio, as defined in the indentures, exceeds 4.85 to 1. Our current debt-to-EBITDA ratio exceeds that ratio and is expected to do so for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, we are prohibited from purchasing any of our capital stock, except as permitted under limited exceptions, such as from the proceeds of a substantially concurrent issuance of other capital stock.

15


Table of Contents

     If actual operating results fail to meet our current expectations, as reflected in our public guidance, or if interest rates increase more than we expect, we may be unable to continue to satisfy the incurrence test under the indentures governing our existing senior unsecured notes. In such an event, we may be prohibited from incurring additional indebtedness, except to repay or refinance maturing debt with debt of similar priority in the capital structure, and may be prohibited from, among other things, paying distributions on our preferred or common stock, except to the extent necessary to satisfy the REIT qualification requirement that we distribute currently at least 90% of our taxable income. In the event of our failure of this incurrence test, based upon our current estimates of taxable income for 2004, we would be unable to distribute the full amount of dividends accruing under our outstanding preferred stock in 2004 and, accordingly, could pay no distributions on our common stock.

     Our failure to timely satisfy any judgment or recourse indebtedness, if in the amount of $10 million or more, could result in the acceleration of most of our existing unsecured recourse indebtedness. We may not be able to refinance or repay our debt in full under those circumstances.

The notes are effectively junior to certain of our and our subsidiaries’ existing debt

     The notes are unsecured and will rank equally with our existing and future unsecured senior debt. The notes will be effectively subordinated to all of our and our consolidated subsidiaries’ secured debt and to all other debt of our non-guarantor subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2004, after giving effect to the borrowing of $193.8 million under our secured debt facility and the application of the net proceeds to redeem all $175 million aggregate principal amount of our 7 3/8% senior notes due 2004, we and our consolidated subsidiaries would have had approximately $1,032 million of secured debt, all of which was mortgage and capitalized lease debt and effectively senior to the notes to the extent of the value of the underlying assets.

     As of March 31, 2004, our non-guarantor subsidiaries had no other unsecured debt.

Conflicts of interest could adversely affect our business

     Certain FelCor directors. At March 31, 2004, IHG managed 70 of our hotels. Richard C. North, who joined FelCor’s board during 1998, is the Chief Executive Officer of IHG, which, through its affiliates, owns approximately 17% of FelCor’s outstanding common stock.

     Issues may arise under the management contracts, and in the allocation of acquisition and management opportunities, that present conflicts of interest due to the relationship of Mr. North to the companies with which he is associated. For example, in the event we decide to sell additional hotels currently managed by IHG, or enter into new or additional hotel management contracts or other transactions with IHG, the interests of Mr. North, by virtue of his relationship with IHG, may conflict with our interests. Any increase in management fees payable to IHG may decrease our profits to the benefit of IHG. Also, in the selection of brands under which our hotels will be operated, Mr. North, by virtue of his relationship with IHG, may have interests that conflict with our interests.

     We anticipate that any director who has a conflict of interest with respect to an issue presented to the FelCor board will abstain from voting upon that issue, although he or she will have no legal obligation to do so. FelCor has no provisions in its bylaws or charter that require an interested director to abstain from voting upon an issue. It does not expect to add provisions in its charter and bylaws to this effect. Although each director has a duty of loyalty to us, there is a risk that, should an interested director vote upon an issue in which he or one of his affiliates has an interest, his vote may reflect a bias that could be contrary to our best interests. In addition, even if an interested director abstains from voting, the director’s participation in the meeting and discussion of an issue in which he or companies with which he is associated have an interest could influence the votes of other directors regarding the issue.

     For information regarding the management agreements entered into by us with IHG and others, reference is made to the description of these agreements under the section “Business and Properties—Management Agreements.”

     Adverse tax consequences to affiliates on a sale of some hotels. Thomas J. Corcoran, Jr., our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Robert A. Mathewson, a director of FelCor, may incur additional tax liability if we sell our investments in six hotels that we acquired in July 1994 from partnerships in which they were investors. Consequently, our interests could differ from Messrs. Corcoran’s and Mathewson’s interests in the event that we consider a sale of any of these hotels. Decisions regarding a sale of any of these six hotels must be made by a majority of FelCor’s independent directors.

We will encounter industry related risks that may adversely affect our business

     The economic slowdown that began in 2001 has had a significant adverse effect on our RevPAR performance and earnings. Unless the current economic recovery continues, the effects on our financial condition could be material. We have experienced declines in RevPAR, beginning in March 2001 and continuing through 2003. A sharp reduction in business travel was the primary cause of the RevPAR decline. The decreased occupancies led to declines in room rates, as hotels competed more aggressively for guests. Both of these factors have had a significant adverse effect on our RevPAR, operating margins and earnings. On a national basis, the hotel industry experienced a RevPAR decline of 6.6% for the year ended December 31, 2001 and of 2.5% for the year ended December 31, 2002. The industry achieved an increase of 0.2% for the year ended December 31, 2003 and 7.7% for the first quarter of 2004. Primarily as a result of the concentration of our hotels in certain markets, the RevPAR performance of our hotels was below the national average. If the current economic recovery stalls, or if the lodging industry fails to benefit from the recovery for a protracted period of time, or if the markets in which we have significant concentrations should fail to participate in any recovery in the industry, it could have a material adverse effect on our operations, earnings and financial condition.

     Investing in hotel assets involves special risks. We have invested in hotel-related assets, and our hotels are subject to all of the risks common to the hotel industry. These risks could adversely affect hotel occupancy and the rates that can be charged for hotel rooms, and generally include:

  competition from other hotels;
 
  construction of more hotel rooms in a particular area than needed to meet demand;
 
  increases in energy costs and other travel expenses and inconveniences that reduce business and leisure travel;
 
  adverse effects of declines in general and local economic activity;
 
  fluctuations in our revenue caused by the seasonal nature of the hotel industry;
 
  adverse effects of a downturn in the hotel industry; and
 
  risks generally associated with the ownership of hotels and real estate, as discussed below.

     We could face increased competition. Each of our hotels competes with other hotels in its geographic area. A number of additional hotel rooms have been, or may be, built in a number of the geographic areas in which our hotels are located, which could adversely affect the results of operations of these hotels. An oversupply of hotel rooms could adversely affect both occupancy and rates in the markets in which our hotels are located. A significant increase in the supply of Midprice, Upscale and Upper Upscale hotel rooms and suites, if demand fails to increase at least proportionately, could have a severe adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

     We face reduced coverages and increased costs of insurance. In an effort to keep our cost of insurance within reasonable limits, we have only purchased terrorism insurance for those hotels that are secured by mortgage debt, as required by our lenders. Our terrorism insurance policy has both per occurrence and aggregate limits of $50 million. We have established a self-insured retention of $250,000 per occurrence for general liability insurance with regard to 75 of our hotels. The remainder of our hotels participate in general liability programs sponsored by our managers, with no deductible. Our property insurance has a $100,000 all risk deductible, a deductible of 2% of insured value for named windstorm coverage and a deductible of 5% of insured value for California earthquake coverage. Should uninsured or not fully insured losses be substantial, they could have a material adverse impact on our operating results, cash flows and financial condition.

     We have geographic concentrations that may create risks from regional or local economic, seismic or weather conditions. At March 31, 2004, approximately 58% of our hotel rooms were located in, and 52% of our 2003 hotel operating profits were generated from, four states: California, Florida, Georgia and Texas. Additionally, we have concentrations in three major metropolitan areas, Atlanta, the San Francisco Bay Area and Dallas, which together represented approximately 21% of our hotel operating profits for the year ended December 31, 2003. Therefore, adverse economic, seismic or weather conditions in these states or metropolitan areas will have a greater adverse effect on us than on the industry as a whole.

     We had 29 hotels designated, at March 31, 2004, as non-strategic that we intend to dispose of within the next two years. We may be unable to sell these hotels at acceptable prices, or at all, within the proposed time frame. If we are unable to sell these hotels at anticipated prices, we may realize additional losses upon sale. Furthermore, if we are unable to sell these hotels at all or within the anticipated time frame, our ability to reduce debt and reposition our portfolio would be adversely affected. Even if we are successful

17


Table of Contents

in selling these hotels as contemplated, if we fail to reinvest the net proceeds in a manner that will generate returns equal to, or better than, the hotels sold, our results of operations will be adversely affected.

     The sale of IHG managed hotels could result in liquidated damages or reinvestment requirements. Although we amended our IHG management agreement to extend contracts for 27 hotels in exchange for a $25 million credit to apply to the satisfaction of the termination fees due from the sale of 35 of our IHG managed hotels, the sale of other IHG managed hotels will still trigger termination fees or reinvestment requirements. Additionally, following the full utilization of this credit, which may occur as early as late 2004, we will again be required to reinvest the proceeds from the sale of IHG managed hotels in other hotels to be managed by IHG or pay substantial termination fees.

     We are subject to possible adverse effects of franchise and licensing agreement requirements. Substantially all of our hotels are operated under existing franchise or license agreements with nationally recognized hotel brands. Each agreement requires that the licensed hotel be maintained and operated in accordance with specific standards and restrictions in order to maintain uniformity within the franchisor system. Compliance with these standards, and changes in these standards, could require us to incur significant expenses or capital expenditures, which could adversely affect our results of operations and ability to make distributions to our unitholders and payments on our indebtedness. At March 31, 2004, there were unsatisfied demands from one of our brand owners with respect to seven of our hotels that we make certain capital improvements to such hotels or that the applicable franchise or license could be terminated. We have agreed with the brand owner on an improvement plan for all of these hotels, and are in the process of implementing the improvement plan at four of these hotels. With respect to the remaining three hotels, we have suspended implementation of the improvement plan, with the consent of the brand owner, pending the possible sale of these hotels. No assurance can be provided that we will be able to timely satisfy all of these capital requirements or that, if satisfied, additional requirements will not be imposed.

     If such a franchise or license agreement terminates due to our failure to make required improvements, we may be liable to the brand manager or franchisor for a termination payment. These termination payments vary by agreement and hotel. The loss of a substantial number of brand licenses, and the related termination payments, could have a material adverse effect on our business because of the loss of associated name recognition, marketing support and centralized reservation systems provided by the brand manager or franchisor. Our franchise agreements also expire or terminate, subject to certain specified renewal rights, at various times. As a condition of the renewal or extension of the franchise agreements, the brand owner may require the payment of substantial fees and may require substantial capital improvements to be made to the hotels for which we would be responsible. During the next five years, the franchise or license agreements applicable in respect of 17 of our hotels are scheduled to expire in accordance with their terms.

     We are subject to the risks of brand concentration. We are subject to the potential risks associated with the concentration of our hotels under a limited number of brands. A negative public image or other adverse event that becomes associated with the brand could adversely affect hotels operated under that brand. The following percentages of our hotels’ operating profit were generated by hotels operated under each of the indicated brands during the year ended December 31, 2003:

                 
            % of 2003
            Hotel
            Operating
    Hotels
  Profit
Embassy Suites Hotels
    56       46 %
Holiday Inn-branded hotels
    48       25 %
Crowne Plaza
    15       7 %
Sheraton-branded
    10       8 %
Doubletree-branded hotels
    10       6 %

     Should any of these brands suffer a significant decline in popularity with the traveling public, it could adversely affect our revenues and profitability.

     We are subject to the risks of hotel operations. Through our ownership of the lessees of our hotels, we are subject to the risk of fluctuating hotel operating expenses at our hotels, including but not limited to:

  wage and benefit costs;
 
  repair and maintenance expenses;
 
  gas and electricity costs;
 
  insurance costs, including health, general liability and workers compensation; and
 
  other operating expenses.

     In addition, we are subject to the risks of a decline in operating margins, which occur when hotel operating expenses increase disproportionately to revenues. These operating expenses and margins are more difficult to predict and control than revenue, resulting in an increased risk of volatility in our results of operations.

     The lodging business is seasonal in nature. Generally, hotel revenues for our hotel portfolio are greater in the second and third calendar quarters than in the first and fourth calendar quarters, although this may not be true for hotels in major tourist destinations. Revenues for hotels in tourist areas generally are substantially greater during tourist season than other times of the year. Seasonal variations in revenue at our hotels can be expected to cause quarterly fluctuations in our revenues. Quarterly earnings also may be adversely affected by events beyond our control, such as extreme weather conditions, economic factors and other considerations affecting travel.

     We lack control over the management and operations of our hotels. We are dependent on the ability of independent third party managers to operate and manage our hotels. In order to maintain FelCor’s REIT status, we cannot operate our hotels or any subsequently acquired hotels. As a result, we are unable to directly implement strategic business decisions for the operation and marketing of our hotels, such as decisions with respect to the setting of room rates, the salary and benefits provided to hotel employees, the conduct of food and beverage operations and similar matters.

Our ability to grow or sustain our business may be limited by our ability to attract debt or equity financing, and we may have difficulty accessing capital on attractive terms

     We may not be able to fund future growth and operations solely from cash provided from operating activities because of recent declines in cash flows and our obligation to fund FelCor’s requirement to distribute at least 90% of its taxable income each year to maintain its status as a REIT. Consequently, we may be forced to rely upon the proceeds of hotel sales or the availability of debt or equity capital to fund hotel acquisitions and necessary capital improvements, and we may be dependent upon our ability to attract debt financing from public or institutional lenders. The capital markets have been, and in the future may be, adversely affected by various events beyond our control, such as the United States military involvement in the Middle East and elsewhere, the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, the ongoing War on Terrorism by the United States and the bankruptcy of major companies, such as Enron Corp. Similar events, such as an escalation in the War on Terrorism, new terrorist attacks, or additional bankruptcies in the future, as well as other events beyond our control, could adversely affect the availability and cost of capital for our business. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in attracting sufficient debt or equity financing to fund future growth and operations, or to pay or refinance existing debt, at an acceptable cost, or at all.

We own and may acquire interests in hotel joint ventures with third parties that expose us to some risk of additional liabilities or capital requirements

     We own, through our subsidiaries, interests in several real estate joint ventures with third parties. Joint ventures that are not consolidated into our financial statements owned a total of 20 hotels, in which we had an aggregate investment of approximately $116 million at March 31, 2004. The operations of 15 of these hotels are included in our consolidated results of operations due to our ownership of the lessee of these hotels. None of FelCor’s directors or officers hold any interest in any of these ventures. The ventures and hotels were subject to non-recourse mortgage loans aggregating approximately $212 million at March 31, 2004. Additionally, one joint venture entered into a $98 million construction loan to finance the construction of a residential condominium development. That construction loan has been guaranteed equally, on a several basis, by us and Hilton, our joint venture partner. At March 31, 2004, there was $74 million outstanding on this loan, of which we had guaranteed our pro rata share of $37 million at March 31, 2004.

Table of Contents

     The personal liability of our subsidiaries under existing non-recourse loans secured by the hotels of our joint ventures is generally limited to the guaranty of the borrowing ventures’ personal obligations to pay for the lender’s losses caused by misconduct, fraud or misappropriation of funds by the ventures and other typical exceptions from the non-recourse covenants in the mortgages, such as those relating to environmental liability. We may invest in other ventures in the future that own hotels and have recourse or non-recourse debt financing. If a venture defaults under its mortgage loan, the lender may accelerate the loan and demand payment in full before taking action to foreclose on the hotel. As a partner or member in any of these ventures, our subsidiary may be exposed to liability for claims asserted against the venture, and the venture may not have sufficient assets or insurance to discharge the liability.

     Our subsidiaries may not legally be able to control decisions being made regarding these ventures and their hotels. In addition, the hotels in a venture may perform at levels below expectations, resulting in the potential for insolvency of the venture unless the partners or members provide additional funds. In some ventures, the partners or members may elect to make additional capital contributions. In many of the foregoing events, we may be faced with the choice of losing our investment in the venture or investing more capital in it with no guaranty of receiving a return on that investment.

We are subject to potential tax risks

     The federal income tax laws governing REITs are complex. FelCor has operated, and intends to continue to operate, in a manner that is intended to enable it to qualify as a REIT under the federal income tax laws. The REIT qualification requirements are extremely complicated, and interpretations of the federal income tax laws governing qualification as a REIT are limited. Accordingly, FelCor cannot be certain that it has been, or will continue to be, successful in operating so as to qualify as a REIT. At any time, new laws, interpretations or court decisions may change the federal tax laws relating to, or the federal income tax consequences of, qualification as a REIT.

     Failure to make required distributions would subject FelCor to tax. Each year, a REIT must pay out to its stockholders at least 90% of its taxable income, other than any net capital gain. To the extent that FelCor satisfies the applicable distribution requirement, but distributes less than 100% of its taxable income, it will be subject to federal corporate income tax on its undistributed taxable income. In addition, it will be subject to a 4% nondeductible tax if the actual amount it pays out to its stockholders in a calendar year is less than the minimum amount specified under federal tax laws. FelCor’s only source of funds to make such distributions comes from distributions from us. Accordingly, we may be required to borrow money or sell assets to make distributions sufficient to enable FelCor to pay out enough of its taxable income to satisfy the applicable distribution requirement and to avoid corporate income tax and the 4% tax in a particular year.

     Failure to qualify as a REIT would subject FelCor to federal income tax. If FelCor fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it would be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates on its taxable income for any such taxable year for which the statute of limitations remains open. We might need to borrow money or sell hotels in order to distribute to FelCor the funds necessary to pay any such tax. If FelCor ceases to be a REIT, it no longer would be required to distribute most of its taxable income to its stockholders. Unless its failure to qualify as a REIT were excused under federal income tax laws, FelCor could not re-elect REIT status until the fifth calendar year following the year in which it failed to qualify.

     A sale of assets acquired from Bristol Hotel Company, or Bristol, within ten years after the merger may result in FelCor incurring corporate income tax. If we sell any asset acquired from Bristol within ten years after our 1998 merger with Bristol, and FelCor recognizes a taxable gain on the sale, FelCor will be taxed at the highest corporate rate on an amount equal to the lesser of:

    the amount of gain recognized at the time of the sale; or

    the amount of gain that FelCor would have recognized if we had sold the asset at the time of the Bristol merger for its then fair market value.

     The sales of Bristol hotels that have been made to date have not resulted in any material amount of tax liability to FelCor. If we are successful in selling the hotels that we have designated as non-strategic, the majority of which are Bristol hotels, FelCor could incur corporate income tax with respect to the related built in gain. At the current time, FelCor believes that it will be able to avoid any substantial built in gain tax on these sales through offsetting built in losses, like kind exchanges and other tax planning strategies.

Departure of key personnel, including Mr. Corcoran, could adversely affect our future operating results

We will encounter risks that may adversely affect real estate ownership

     General Risks. Our investments in hotels are subject to the numerous risks generally associated with owning real estate, including among others:

    adverse changes in general or local economic or real estate market conditions;

    changes in zoning laws;

    changes in traffic patterns and neighborhood characteristics;

    increases in assessed valuation and real estate tax rates;

    increases in the cost of property insurance;

    governmental regulations and fiscal policies;

    the potential for uninsured or underinsured property losses;

    the potential that we are unable to meet all requirements under the Americans with Disabilities Act;

    the impact of environmental laws and regulations; and

    other circumstances beyond our control.

     Moreover, real estate investments are relatively illiquid, and we may not be able to adjust our portfolio in a timely manner to respond to changes in economic and other conditions.

     Compliance with environmental laws may adversely affect our financial condition. Owners of real estate are subject to numerous federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations. Under these laws and regulations, a current or former owner of real estate may be liable for the costs of remediating hazardous substances found on its property, whether or not it was responsible for their presence. In addition, if an owner of real property arranges for the disposal of hazardous substances at another site, it may also be liable for the costs of remediating the disposal site, even if it did not own or operate the disposal site. Such liability may be imposed without regard to fault or the legality of a party’s conduct and may, in certain circumstances, be joint and several. A property owner may also be liable to third parties for personal injuries or property damage sustained as a result of its release of hazardous or toxic substances, including asbestos-containing materials, into the environment. Environmental laws and regulations may require us to incur substantial expenses and limit the use of our properties. We could have substantial liability for a failure to comply with applicable environmental laws and regulations, which may be enforced by the government or, in certain instances, by private parties. The existence of hazardous substances on a property can also adversely affect the value of, and the owner’s ability to use, sell or borrow against, the property.

     We cannot provide assurances that future or amended laws or regulations, or more stringent interpretations or enforcement of existing environmental requirements, will not impose any material environmental liability, or that the environmental condition or liability relating to the hotels will not be affected by new information or changed circumstances, by the condition of properties in the vicinity of such hotels, such as the presence of leaking underground storage tanks, or by the actions of unrelated third parties.

     Compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act may adversely affect our financial condition. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, all public accommodations, including hotels, are required to meet certain federal requirements for access and use by disabled persons. Various state and local jurisdictions have also adopted requirements relating to the accessibility of buildings to disabled persons. We believe that our hotels substantially comply with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act and other applicable laws. However, a determination that the hotels are not in compliance with such laws could result in liability for both governmental fines and payments to private parties. If we were required to make unanticipated major modifications to the hotels to comply with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act and other similar laws, it could adversely affect our ability to make distributions to our stockholders and to pay our obligations.

Under certain circumstances, courts may void the subsidiary guarantees of the notes under fraudulent transfer laws

     Federal and state fraudulent conveyance laws allow courts, under specific circumstances, to void guarantees and require noteholders to return payments received from guarantors in the event of the bankruptcy or other financial difficulty of the subsidiary guarantor. Under federal bankruptcy law and comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer laws, a guarantee of the notes could be voided, or claims in respect of a guarantee could be subordinated to all other debt of the guarantor, if, among other things, at the time the guarantor incurred the debt evidenced by its guarantee, the guarantor:

    received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for the incurrence of such guarantee; and

    was insolvent or was rendered insolvent by reason of such incurrence; or

    was engaged in a business or transaction for which the guarantor’s remaining assets constituted unreasonably small capital; or

    intended to incur, or believed (or reasonably should have believed) that it would incur, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature.

     In addition, any payment by that guarantor pursuant to its guarantee could be voided and required to be returned to the guarantor, or to a fund for the benefit of the creditors of the guarantor.

     The measure of insolvency for purposes of these fraudulent transfer laws will vary depending upon the law applied in any proceeding to determine whether a fraudulent transfer has occurred. Generally, however, a guarantor of the notes would be considered insolvent if:

    the sum of its debts, including contingent liabilities, was greater than the fair saleable value of all of its assets; or

    the present fair saleable value of its assets was less than the amount that would be required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts, including contingent liabilities, as they become absolute and matured; or

    it could not pay its debts as they become due.

     A court is likely to find that a guarantor of the notes did not receive fair consideration or reasonably equivalent value for its guarantee to the extent that its liability under the guarantee is greater than the direct benefit it received from the issuance of the notes. By its terms, each guarantee of the notes will limit the liability of the guarantor to the maximum amount that it can pay without the guarantee being deemed a fraudulent transfer. A court may not give effect to this limitation on liability. In that event, a court may find that the issuance of the guarantee rendered the subsidiary guarantor insolvent. If a court avoids the guarantee or holds it unenforceable, you will cease to have a claim against the guarantor and will be solely a creditor of FelCor LP. If the limitation on liability is effective, the amount that the guarantor is found to have guaranteed might be so low that there will not be sufficient funds to pay the notes in full.

We may be unable to raise the funds necessary to finance the change of control repurchase provision required by the indenture governing the notes.

     Upon certain events constituting a change of control, as that term is defined in the indenture governing the notes, we will be required to make an offer in cash to repurchase all or any part of each holder’s notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase. The source of funds for any such repurchase would be our available cash or cash generated from operations or other sources, including borrowings, sales of equity or funds provided by a controlling person or entity. We cannot assure you that sufficient funds will be available at the time of any change of control event to repurchase all tendered notes pursuant to this requirement. Our failure to offer to repurchase notes, or to repurchase notes tendered, following a change of control will result in a default under the indenture governing the notes, which could lead to a cross-default under our senior debt facilities and under the terms of our other debt. In addition, our senior debt facilities effectively prohibit us from making any such required repurchases. Prior to repurchasing the notes after a change of control event, we must either repay outstanding debt under our senior debt facilities or obtain the consent of the lenders under that facility. If we do not obtain the required consents or repay our outstanding debt under our senior debt facilities, we would remain effectively prohibited from offering to repurchase the notes. See “Description of the Notes and Guarantees—Repurchase of Notes upon a Change of Control.”

You cannot be sure that an active public trading market will exist for the new notes

     The new notes will be a new issuance of securities for which there is currently no active trading market. We do not intend to list the new notes on any securities exchange. Although we expect the new notes to be eligible for trading in The PORTAL Market, we cannot assure you that an active trading market for the new notes will develop. The initial purchaser has advised us that it intends to make a market in the new notes. It, however, is not obligated to do so and may discontinue market-making at any time without notice.

     The liquidity of any market for the new notes will depend upon various factors, including:

    the number of holders of the new notes;

    the interest of securities dealers in making a market for the new notes;

    the overall market for high yield securities;

    our financial performance and prospects; and

    the prospects for companies in our industry generally.

     Accordingly, we cannot assure you that an active trading market will develop for the new notes. If the new notes are traded after their initial issuance, they may trade at a discount from the initial offering price of the old notes, depending upon prevailing interest rates and other factors, including those listed above.

     Historically, the market for non-investment grade debt has been subject to disruptions that have caused substantial volatility in the prices of securities similar to the notes. Any market for the new notes may be subject to similar disruptions. Any such disruptions may adversely affect you as a holder of the new notes.

THE EXCHANGE OFFER

Purpose and Effect

     FelCor LP sold the old notes on May 26 and July 6, 2004, to the initial purchaser, pursuant to purchase agreements. The initial purchaser subsequently resold the old notes under Rule 144A under the Securities Act. As part of the offerings of the old notes, we entered into registration rights agreements with the initial purchaser for the benefit of the holders of the old notes. The registration rights agreements require, unless an exchange offer is not permitted by applicable law or SEC policy, that we

    use our best efforts to cause the registration statement to become effective and to have the exchange offer consummated within 180 days following May 26, 2004; and

    upon effectiveness of the registration statement, commence the exchange offer and keep the exchange offer open for at least 20 business days.

     Except as provided below, upon the completion of the exchange offer, our obligations with respect to the registration of the old notes and the new notes will terminate. A copy of the registration rights agreement has been filed with the SEC as exhibit to a registration statement, of which the prospectus constitutes a part, and this summary of the material provisions of the registration rights agreement does not purport to be complete. In the event that the exchange offer is not consummated on or prior to November 22, 2004, the interest rate on the old notes will increase by 0.5% per annum until it has been completed or, under certain circumstances, until a resale registration statement with respect to the old notes is declared effective by the SEC. Following the completion of the exchange offer, except as set forth in the paragraph immediately below, holders of old notes not tendered will not have any further registration rights and those old notes will continue to be subject to certain restrictions on transfer. Accordingly, the liquidity of the market for the old notes could be adversely affected upon consummation of the exchange offer.

     In order to participate in the exchange offer, a holder must represent to us, among other things, that (i) the new notes acquired pursuant to the exchange offer are being obtained in the ordinary course of business of the holder, (ii) the holder is not engaging in, and does not intend to engage in, a distribution of the new notes, (iii) the holder does not have an arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the new notes and (iv) the holder is not an “affiliate,” as defined under Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act, of FelCor LP, FelCor or the subsidiary guarantors. Under certain circumstances specified in the registration rights agreement, we may be required to file a “shelf” registration statement for a continuous offering pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act in respect of resales of the old notes. See “Description of the Notes and Guarantees — Registration Rights.”

     Based on an interpretation by the SEC’s staff set forth in no-action letters issued to third parties unrelated to us, we believe that, with the exceptions set forth below, new notes issued pursuant to the exchange offer in exchange for old notes may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by holders thereof (other than any holder which is an “affiliate” of FelCor, FelCor LP or the subsidiary guarantors within the meaning of Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act, or a broker-dealer who purchased old notes directly from FelCor LP to resell pursuant to Rule 144A or any other available exemption promulgated under the Securities Act) without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, provided that the new notes are acquired in the ordinary course of business of the holder and the holder does not have an arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of such new notes. Any holder who tenders in the exchange offer for the purpose of participating in a distribution of the new notes cannot rely on this interpretation by the SEC’s staff and must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with a secondary resale transaction. Each broker-dealer that receives new notes for its own account in exchange for old notes, where such old notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such new notes. See “Plan of Distribution.” Broker-dealers who acquired old notes directly from us and not as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities may not rely on the SEC staff’s interpretations discussed above or participate in the exchange offer and must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in order to sell the old notes.

Consequences of Failure to Exchange Old Notes

     Following the completion of the exchange offer, holders of old notes who did not tender their old notes, or who did not properly tender their old notes, will not have any further registration rights and such old notes will continue to be subject to restrictions on

Table of Contents

transfer. Accordingly, the liquidity of the market for a holder’s old notes could be adversely affected upon expiration of the exchange offer if such holder elects to not participate in the exchange offer.

Terms of the Exchange Offer

     Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and in the accompanying letter of transmittal, we will accept for exchange any and all old notes that are validly tendered on or prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time, on the expiration date. We will issue $1,000 principal amount of new notes in exchange for each $1,000 principal amount of the outstanding old notes accepted in the exchange offer. Holders who have tendered their old notes may withdraw their tender of old notes at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. The exchange offer is not conditioned upon any minimum principal amount of old notes being tendered for exchange. However, the exchange offer is subject to the terms and provisions of the registration rights agreement. See "— Conditions of the Exchange Offer.”

     Old notes may be tendered only in multiples of $1,000. Subject to the foregoing, holders of old notes may tender less than the aggregate principal amount represented by the old notes they hold, provided that they appropriately indicate this fact on the letter of transmittal accompanying the tendered old notes.

     The form and terms of the new notes are substantially the same as the form and terms of the old notes, except that the new notes have been registered under the Securities Act and will not bear legends restricting their transfer. The new notes will evidence the same debt as the old notes and will be issued pursuant to, and entitled to the benefits of, the indenture pursuant to which the old notes were issued.

     As of the date of this prospectus, $290 million aggregate principal amount of the old notes is outstanding. As of      , 2004, Cede & Co., was the only registered holder of the old notes. Cede & Co. held the old notes for       of its participants. We have fixed the close of business on      , 2004, as the record date for purposes of determining the persons to whom we initially will mail this prospectus and the letter of transmittal. Only a holder of the old notes, or such holder’s legal representative or attorney-in-fact, may participate in the exchange offer. We will not fix a record date for determining holders of the old notes entitled to participate in the exchange offer. We believe that, as of the date of this prospectus, no such holder is our affiliate, as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act.

     We will be deemed to have accepted validly tendered old notes when, as and if we have given oral or written notice thereof to the exchange agent. The exchange agent will act as agent for the tendering holders of old notes and for the purpose of receiving the new notes from us.

     If any tendered old notes are not accepted for exchange because of an invalid tender, the occurrence of other events set forth in this prospectus or otherwise, the certificates for any such unaccepted old notes will be returned, without expense, to the tendering holder as promptly as practicable after the expiration date.

     Holders who tender old notes in the exchange offer will not be required to pay brokerage commissions or fees or, subject to the instructions in the letter of transmittal, transfer taxes with respect to the exchange of old notes pursuant to the exchange offer. We will pay all charges and expenses, other than certain applicable taxes, in connection with the exchange offer. See "— Fees and Expenses.”

Expiration Date; Extensions; Amendments

     The expiration date shall be      , 2004, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, unless we, in our sole discretion, extend the exchange offer, in which case the expiration date shall be the latest date and time to which the exchange offer is extended, but shall not be later than      , 2004.

     In order to extend the exchange offer, we will notify the exchange agent of any extension by oral or written notice and will make a public announcement thereof, each prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business day after the previously scheduled expiration date.

Table of Contents

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion:

    to delay accepting any old notes;

    to extend the exchange offer;

    if any of the conditions set forth below under “— Conditions of the Exchange Offer” shall not have been satisfied, to terminate the exchange offer, by giving oral or written notice of such delay, extension, or termination to the exchange agent; and

    to amend the terms of the exchange offer in any manner.

     If we amend the exchange offer in a manner we determine to constitute a material change, we will promptly disclose such amendments by means of a prospectus supplement that we will distribute to the registered holders of the old notes. Modification of the exchange offer, including, but not limited to:

    extension of the period during which the exchange offer is open; and

    satisfaction of the conditions set forth below under “— Conditions of the Exchange Offer,”
 
may require that at least five business days remain in the exchange offer.

Conditions of the Exchange Offer

     Notwithstanding any other provision of the exchange offer, we shall not be required to accept for exchange, or to issue new notes in exchange for, any old notes and may terminate or amend the exchange offer if at any time before the acceptance of such old notes for exchange or the exchange of the new notes for the old notes, we determine that the exchange offer violates applicable law, any applicable interpretation of the staff of the SEC or any order of any governmental agency or court of competent jurisdiction.

     The foregoing conditions are for our sole benefit and may be asserted by us regardless of the circumstances giving rise to any such condition or may be waived by us, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time in our sole discretion. The failure by us at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of any such right and each such right shall be deemed an ongoing right that may be asserted at any time and from time to time.

     In addition, we will not accept for exchange any old notes tendered, and no new notes will be issued in exchange for any such old notes, if at such time, any stop order shall be threatened or in effect with respect to the registration statement, of which this prospectus constitutes a part, or the qualification of the indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. In any such event, we are required to use every reasonable effort to obtain the withdrawal of any stop order at the earliest possible time.

Accrued Interest

     The new notes will bear interest at a rate equal to six-month LIBOR (as defined in the notes), plus 4.25% per annum, which interest shall accrue from May 26, 2004 ,or from the most recent interest payment date with respect to the old notes to which interest was paid or duly provided for. See “Description of the Notes and Guarantees — General.”

Procedures for Tendering Old Notes

     Only a holder of old notes may tender the old notes in the exchange offer. To tender in the exchange offer a holder must (a) except as set forth under “— Book-Entry Transfer,” complete, sign, and date the letter of transmittal, or a copy thereof, have the signatures thereon guaranteed if required by the letter of transmittal, and mail or otherwise deliver the letter of transmittal or copy to the exchange agent prior to the expiration date, or (b) tender through DTC pursuant to DTC’s Automated Tender Offer Program, or ATOP. In addition, unless the holder is tendering through ATOP, (i) certificates for the old notes must be received by the exchange agent along with the letter of transmittal prior to the expiration date, (ii) a timely confirmation of a book-entry transfer, called a book-entry confirmation, of such old notes, if that procedure is available, into the exchange agent’s account at DTC, which is a book-entry transfer facility, pursuant to the procedure for book-entry transfer described below, must be received by the exchange agent prior to the expiration date or (iii) the holder must comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures described below. To be tendered effectively, the letter of transmittal and other required documents must be received by the exchange agent at the address set forth under “— The Exchange Agent; Assistance” prior to the expiration date.

26


Table of Contents

     The exchange agent and DTC have confirmed that the exchange offer is eligible for ATOP. Accordingly, DTC participants may electronically transmit their acceptance of the exchange offer by causing DTC to transfer their old notes to the exchange agent in accordance with ATOP procedures for such a transfer. DTC will then send an agent’s message (as described below) to the exchange agent. Beneficial holders desiring to tender their old notes on the expiration date should note that such beneficial holders must allow sufficient time for completion of the ATOP procedures during normal business hours of DTC, and prior to the time that the exchange offer expires, on such date. The term “agent’s message” means a message, transmitted by DTC to, and received by, the exchange agent and forming a part of a book-entry confirmation, which states that DTC has received an express acknowledgment from the tendering participant, which acknowledgment states that such participant has received and agrees to be bound by the letter of transmittal, and that the Company may enforce such letter of transmittal, as the case may be, against such participant.

     The tender by a holder that is not withdrawn before the expiration date will constitute an agreement between that holder and us in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal.

     THE METHOD OF DELIVERY OF OLD NOTES, THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND ALL OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS TO THE EXCHANGE AGENT IS AT THE ELECTION AND RISK OF THE HOLDER. INSTEAD OF DELIVERY BY MAIL, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT HOLDERS USE AN OVERNIGHT OR HAND DELIVERY SERVICE. IN ALL CASES, SUFFICIENT TIME SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO ASSURE DELIVERY TO THE EXCHANGE AGENT BEFORE THE EXPIRATION DATE. NO LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL OR OLD NOTES SHOULD BE SENT TO US. HOLDERS MAY REQUEST THEIR RESPECTIVE BROKERS, DEALERS, COMMERCIAL BANKS, TRUSTS COMPANIES OR NOMINEES TO EFFECT THESE TRANSACTIONS FOR SUCH HOLDERS.

     Any beneficial owner whose old notes are registered in the name of a broker-dealer, commercial bank, trust company, or other nominee and who wishes to tender should contact the registered holder promptly and instruct the registered holder to tender on the beneficial owner’s behalf. If the beneficial owner wishes to tender on the registered owner’s behalf, the beneficial owner must, prior to completing and executing the letter of transmittal and delivering the registered owner’s old notes, either make appropriate arrangements to register ownership of the old notes in the beneficial owner’s name or obtain a properly completed bond power from the registered owner. The transfer of registered ownership may take considerable time.

     Signatures on a letter of transmittal or a notice of withdrawal, as the case may be, must be guaranteed by an eligible institution (as described) unless old notes tendered pursuant to the letter are tendered (i) by a registered holder who has not completed the box entitled “Special Issuance and Delivery Instructions” on the letter of transmittal or (ii) for the account of an eligible institution. If signatures on a letter of transmittal or a notice of withdrawal, as the case may be, are required to be guaranteed, the guarantee must be by any eligible guarantor institution that is a member of, or participant in, the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program, the New York Stock Exchange Medallion Signature Program or an “eligible guarantor institution” within the meaning of Rule 17Ad-15 under the Exchange Act, each of which is an “eligible institution.”

     If the letter of transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered holder of any old notes listed therein, the old notes must be endorsed or accompanied by a properly completed bond power, signed by the registered holder as that registered holder’s name appears on the old notes.

     If the letter of transmittal or any old notes or bond powers are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations, or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such persons should so indicate when signing, and evidence satisfactory to us of their authority to so act must be submitted with the letter of transmittal, unless waived by us.

     All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt), acceptance, and withdrawal of tendered old notes will be determined by us in our sole discretion, which determination shall be final and binding. FelCor reserves the absolute right to reject any and all old notes not properly tendered or any old notes FelCor’s acceptance of which would, in the opinion of counsel for us, be unlawful. FelCor also reserves the right to waive any defects, irregularities or conditions of tender as to particular old notes. FelCor’s interpretation of the terms and conditions of the exchange offer, including the instructions in the letter of transmittal, shall be final and binding on all parties. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of old notes must be cured within such time as we shall determine. Although we intend to notify holders of defects or irregularities with respect to tenders of old notes, neither FelCor, the exchange agent, nor any other person shall incur any liability for failure to give such notification. Tenders of old notes will not be deemed to have been made until such defects or irregularities have been cured or waived. Any old notes received by the exchange agent that are not properly tendered and as to which the defects or irregularities have not been cured or waived will be

27


Table of Contents

returned by the exchange agent to the tendering holders, unless otherwise provided in the letter of transmittal, as soon as practicable following      , 2004, unless the exchange offer is extended.

     In addition, we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to purchase or make offers to purchase any old notes that remain outstanding after the expiration date or, as set forth under “— Conditions of the Exchange Offer,” to terminate the exchange offer and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, purchase old notes in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. The terms of any such purchases or offers could differ from the terms of the exchange offer.

     By tendering, each holder will represent to us that, among other things, (i) the new notes acquired pursuant to the exchange offer are being obtained in the ordinary course of business of the person receiving such new notes, whether or not such person is the registered holder, (ii) the holder is not engaging in, and does not intend to engage in, a distribution of such new notes, (iii) the holder does not have an arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of such new notes and (iv) the holder is not an “affiliate,” as defined under Rule 405 of the Securities Act, of FelCor, FelCor LP or any of the subsidiary guarantors.

     In all cases, issuance of new notes for old notes that are accepted for exchange pursuant to the exchange offer will be made only after timely receipt by the exchange agent of certificates for such old notes or a timely book-entry confirmation of such old notes into the exchange agent’s account at the book-entry transfer facility, a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal (or, with respect to the DTC and its participants, electronic instructions in which the tendering holder acknowledges its receipt of an agreement to be bound by the letter of transmittal), and all other required documents. If any tendered old notes are not accepted for any reason set forth in the terms and conditions of the exchange offer or if old notes are submitted for a greater principal amount than the holder desires to exchange, such unaccepted or non-exchanged old notes will be returned, without expense, to the tendering holder thereof (or, in the case of old notes tendered by book-entry transfer into the exchange agent’s account at the book-entry transfer facility pursuant to the book-entry transfer procedures described below, such nonexchanged old notes will be credited to an account maintained with such book-entry transfer facility) as promptly as practicable after the expiration or termination of the exchange offer.

     Each broker-dealer that receives new notes for its own account in exchange for old notes, where such old notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such new notes. See “Plan of Distribution.”

Book-Entry Transfer

     The exchange agent will make a request to establish an account with respect to the old notes at the book-entry transfer facility for purposes of the exchange offer within two business days after the date of this prospectus, and any financial institution that is a participant in the book-entry transfer facility’s systems may make book-entry delivery of old notes being tendered by causing the book-entry transfer facility to transfer such old notes into the exchange agent’s account at the book-entry transfer facility in accordance with such book-entry transfer facility’s procedures for transfer. Although delivery of old notes may be effected through book-entry transfer at the book-entry transfer facility, the letter of transmittal or copy thereof, with any required signature guarantees and any other required documents, must, in any case other than as set forth in the following paragraph, be transmitted to and received by the exchange agent at the address set forth under “— The Exchange Agent; Assistance” on or prior to the expiration date or the guaranteed delivery procedures described below must be complied with.

     Holders who are tendering by book-entry transfer to the exchange agent’s account at DTC may execute their tender through ATOP by transmitting their acceptance to DTC in accordance with DTC’s ATOP procedures; DTC will then verify the acceptance, execute a book-entry delivery to the exchange agent’s account at DTC and send an agent’s message to the exchange agent. Delivery of the agent’s message by DTC to the exchange agent will satisfy the terms of the exchange offer in lieu of execution and delivery of a letter of transmittal by the participant identified in the agent’s message. Accordingly, the letter of transmittal need not be completed by a holder tendering through ATOP.

Guaranteed Delivery Procedures

     Holders who wish to tender their old notes and whose old notes are not immediately available, or who cannot deliver their old notes or any other documents required by the letter of transmittal to the exchange agent prior to the expiration date, may tender their old notes according to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in the letter of transmittal. Pursuant to such procedures:

     (1) the holder tenders through an eligible institution and signs a notice of guaranteed delivery;

28


Table of Contents

     (2) on or prior to the expiration date, the exchange agent receives from the holder and the eligible institution a written or facsimile copy of a properly completed and duly executed notice of guaranteed delivery, substantially in the form provided by us, setting forth the name and address of the holder, the certificate number or numbers of the tendered old notes, and the principal amount of tendered old notes, stating that the tender is being made thereby and guaranteeing that, within five business days after the date of delivery of the notice of guaranteed delivery, the tendered old notes, a duly executed letter of transmittal and any other required documents will be deposited by the eligible institution with the exchange agent; and

     (3) such properly completed and executed documents required by the letter of transmittal and the tendered old notes in proper form for transfer are received by the exchange agent within five business days after the expiration date.

     Any holder who wishes to tender old notes pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures described above must ensure that the exchange agent receives the notice of guaranteed delivery and letter of transmittal relating to such old notes prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date.

Acceptance of Old Notes for Exchange; Delivery of New Notes

     Upon satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions to the exchange offer, we will accept any and all old notes that are properly tendered in the exchange offer prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. The new notes issued pursuant to the exchange offer will be delivered promptly after acceptance of the old notes. For purposes of the exchange offer, we shall be deemed to have accepted validly tendered old notes, when, as and if we have given oral or written notice thereof to the exchange agent.

     In all cases, issuances of new notes for old notes that are accepted for exchange pursuant to the exchange offer will be made only after the exchange agent timely receives such old notes, a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal and all other required documents; provided, however, we reserve the absolute right to waive any defects or irregularities in the tender or conditions of the exchange offer. If we do not accept any tendered old notes for any reason, we will return such unaccepted old notes, without expense, to the tendering holder thereof as promptly as practicable after the expiration or termination of the exchange offer.

Withdrawal Rights

     Holders may withdraw tenders of old notes at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. For the withdrawal to be effective, the exchange agent must receive a written notice of withdrawal at its address set forth on the back cover page of this prospectus. The notice of withdrawal must:

    specify the name of the person, the depositor, who tendered the old notes to be withdrawn or, in the case of old notes tendered by book-entry transfer, the name of the participant for whose account such old notes were tendered and such participant’s account number at DTC to be credited with the withdrawn old notes;

    identify the old notes to be withdrawn, including the certificate number or numbers and principal amount of withdrawn old notes;

    be signed by the holder in the same manner as the original signature on the letter of transmittal by which such old notes were tendered, including any required signature guarantees, or be accompanied by a bond power in the name of the person withdrawing the tender, in satisfactory form as determined by us in our sole discretion, duly executed by the registered holder, with the signature thereon guaranteed by an eligible institution, together with the other documents required upon transfer by the indenture or, in the case of old notes tendered by a DTC participant through ATOP, be signed by such participant in the same manner as the participant’s name is listed on the applicable agent’s message; and

    specify the name in which such old notes are to be registered, if different from the person who deposited the old notes, pursuant to such documents of transfer.

     We shall determine all questions as to the validity, form and eligibility, including time of receipt, of such withdrawal notices in our sole discretion. The old notes so withdrawn will be deemed not to have been validly tendered for exchange for purposes of the exchange offer. Any old notes that have been tendered for exchange but are withdrawn will be returned to their holder, without cost to such holder, as soon as practicable after withdrawal. Properly withdrawn old notes may be retendered by following one of the procedures described under “— Procedures for Tendering Old Notes” at any time on or prior to the expiration date.

Fees and Expenses

     We will bear all expenses incident to the consummation of the exchange offer and compliance with the registration rights agreement, including, without limitation: (1) all registration and filing fees, including fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or Blue Sky laws; (2) printing expenses, including expenses of printing certificates for the new notes in a form eligible for deposit with DTC, and of printing prospectuses; (3) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses; (4) fees and disbursements of our counsel; (5) fees and disbursements of independent certified public accountants; (6) rating agency fees; (7) our internal expenses, including all salaries and expenses of our officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties; and (8) fees and expenses, if any, incurred in connection with the listing of the new notes on a securities exchange.

     We have not retained any dealer-manager in connection with the exchange offer and will not make any payments to brokers, dealers or others soliciting acceptance of the exchange offer. We, however, will pay the exchange agent reasonable and customary fees for its services and will reimburse it for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith.

     We will pay all transfer taxes, if any, applicable to the exchange of old notes pursuant to the exchange offer. If, however, a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the exchange of old notes pursuant to the exchange offer, then the amount of any such transfer taxes (whether imposed on the registered holder or any other person) will be payable by the tendering holder. If satisfactory evidence of payment of such taxes or exemption is not submitted with the letter of transmittal, the amount of such transfer taxes will be billed directly to such tendering holder.

Accounting Treatment

     We will record the new notes at the same carrying value as the old notes, as reflected in our accounting records on the date of the exchange. Accordingly, we will not recognize any gain or loss for accounting purposes. We will amortize expenses of the exchange offer over the term of the new notes.

SELECTED HISTORICAL CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

     The following tables set forth selected historical consolidated financial information for FelCor LP and FelCor. The selected historical information is presented as of and for the years ended December 31, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003 and as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2004. We derived the historical consolidated financial information for the years ended December 31, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003 from our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm. Certain reclassifications have been made to previously reported amounts to conform to current year presentation with no effect to previously reported net income (loss), shareholders’ equity or partners’ capital. The selected historical financial information as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2004 have been derived from the unaudited financial statements that have been prepared by our management on the same basis as the audited financial statements and, in the opinion of our management, include all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals that are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such periods. The statement of operations and other data for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2004 are not necessarily indicative of results to be anticipated for the entire year.

     You should read the following in conjunction with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus or incorporated herein by reference.

(5)   Although we had declared a quarterly common dividend on our common stock from our inception through 2002, as a result of the uncertain geopolitical environment and soft business climate, together with the decline in margins resulting from continued declines in our portfolio’s average daily rate, our board of directors suspended the payment of dividends on our common stock in 2003. We have, however, continued to pay the full accrued dividends on our outstanding preferred stock throughout 2003.

(6)   Historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminish predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, most industry investors consider supplemental measurements of performance to be helpful in evaluating a real estate company’s operations. We consider Funds From Operations, or FFO, and Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization, or EBITDA, to be supplemental measures of a REIT’s performance and should be considered along with, but not as an alternative to, net income as a measure of our operating performance.
 
    The White Paper on Funds From Operations approved by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, defines FFO as net income or loss (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains or losses from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis. FFO and EBITDA are not measures of operating performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S., or GAAP. However, we believe that FFO and EBITDA are helpful to management and investors as supplemental measures of the performance of an equity REIT. We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by NAREIT. This may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition, or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do.
 
    FFO and EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to net income, operating profit, cash flow from operations, or any other operating performance measure prescribed by GAAP. Neither should FFO, FFO per share and EBITDA be considered as measures of our liquidity or indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. FFO per share does not measure, and should not be used as a measure of amounts that accrue directly to the benefit of stockholders.
 
    The computation of FFO and EBITDA for FelCor LP and FelCor yields the same result. The following tables detail the computation of FFO and EBITDA for FelCor LP:

BUSINESS AND PROPERTIES

FelCor and FelCor LP

     We are the nation’s second largest lodging real estate investment trust, or REIT, with ownership interests in 163 hotels at March 31, 2004, with nearly 45,000 rooms and suites. We own a 100% interest in 126 hotels, a 90% or greater interest in entities owning seven hotels, a 60% interest in an entity owning two hotels, a 51% interest in an entity owning eight hotels and a 50% interest in separate unconsolidated entities owning 20 hotels. As a result of our ownership interests in the operating lessees of 158 of these hotels, we reflect their operating revenues and expenses in our consolidated statements of operations. The operations of 156 of the 158 consolidated hotels were included in continuing operations at March 31, 2004. The remaining two hotels were held for sale as of March 31, 2004, and their operations are included in discontinued operations. The operating revenues and expenses of the remaining five hotels are unconsolidated.

     Our hotels are located in the United States (33 states) and Canada, with concentrations in Texas (36 hotels), California (20 hotels), Florida (16 hotels) and Georgia (14 hotels). We own the largest number of Embassy Suites Hotels, Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn and independently owned Doubletree-branded hotels. At March 31, 2004, 29 of our hotels were designated as non-strategic (excluding two hotels that were held for sale).

     We seek to increase operating cash flow through aggressive asset management and the competitive positioning of our hotels, to maintain a sound and flexible capital structure, and to reposition our portfolio through the sale of non-strategic hotels and reinvestment in newer, higher quality hotels in major urban and resort markets with greater growth potential. The hotels in which we will reinvest sale proceeds are expected to be ones that are affiliated with, or will benefit from affiliation with, one of the premium brands available to us through our strategic brand owner and manager relationships with Hilton Hotels Corporation, or Hilton, InterContinental Hotels Group, or IHG, and Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc., or Starwood.

Background

     As a result of the passage of the REIT Modernization Act, effective January 1, 2001, we were allowed to own the lessees of our hotels through taxable REIT subsidiaries, or TRSs. In 2001, we acquired our hotel leases from DJONT Operations L.L.C., or DJONT, and IHG.

     Upon acquisition of our hotel leases, we began recording hotel revenues and expenses, rather than just rental revenue, and became exposed to all of the risks and rewards of hotel operations. Under the leases, the rent payable to us would vary only as a result of changes in hotel revenues. By acquiring the leases, our cash flow and net income also vary as a result of changes in the operating margins of our hotels. Through the ownership of our operating lessees, we now consolidate the operating revenues and expenses of 158 of our hotels as of March 31, 2004. The operating revenues and expenses of the five unconsolidated hotels in which we own a 50% interest are accounted for using the equity method.

     Our business is conducted in one reportable segment, which is hospitality. During 2003, we derived 97% of our revenues from hotels located within the United States and the balance from our Canadian hotels.

Developments During 2003

     Calendar years 2001 and 2002 produced the first two consecutive years of declining industry revenue per available room, or RevPAR, since such statistics began to be compiled and, in 2003, industry RevPAR improved by only 0.2%, compared to 2002. Primarily as a result of the concentration of our hotels in certain markets, the RevPAR performance of our hotels was below the national average during the period. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the 159 hotels then included in our continuing operations experienced a decline in RevPAR of 4.4%, compared to 2002. The decrease in year over year RevPAR resulted in lower revenues at our hotels, decreased operating margin, as a percentage of total revenue, and a reduction in our operating income. During 2003, we also recorded impairment charges totaling $246 million, principally relating to the 18 non-strategic hotels identified in 2003 that we expect to sell over the next two years and the further reduction in estimated fair market value of 17 hotels designated as non-strategic prior to 2003.

     During 2003, we completed a comprehensive review of our investment strategy and hotel portfolio and identified smaller, underperforming hotels, generally in secondary and tertiary markets, that we wished to sell. We started the review process in 2000, prior to the economic downturn, and at that time identified 26 non-strategic hotels for sale. We continued the review of our portfolio in 2002 and identified 27 additional hotels that we intended to sell. Finally, we completed the review of our portfolio in 2003, during which we identified an additional 18 hotels as non-strategic.

     Of the 71 hotels identified as non-strategic from 2000 through 2003, we disposed of 20 hotels prior to 2003 and disposed of 16 hotels during 2003. In addition, at December 31, 2003, we had two hotels that were subject to firm sale contracts and classified as “held for sale.” We identify hotels as “held for sale,” and include them in our discontinued operations, when we determine that it is probable that the hotel will be sold within the following twelve months.

     In support of this strategy to dispose of non-strategic hotels, in 2003 we executed an amendment to our management agreement with IHG, which is described in greater detail under “Business Strategy—Non-Strategic Hotels” below. This amendment provides us with the flexibility to sell a number of IHG managed hotels and use the proceeds to pay down debt. In the absence of this amendment, we would have been required to either reinvest the sale proceeds in other IHG managed hotels or pay substantial liquidated damages to IHG.

     During 2003, we completed two financing transactions and sold 16 non-strategic hotels, which provided us with sufficient cash and borrowing capacity to meet our foreseeable cash requirements and allowed us to terminate our $50 million line of credit in March 2004. These financing transactions are described in greater detail below.

     In June 2003, we entered into a new secured delayed draw facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank for up to $200 million. Through March 31, 2004, there had been no borrowings under this facility, and we had an estimated $172 million of borrowing capacity based on the underwritten cash flows of the 14 hotels securing this facility. In June 2004, we redeemed all $175 million aggregate principal amount of our 7 3/8% senior notes due 2004 by borrowing $169 million then available under this facility to fund a portion of the redemption price of those notes. On July 23, 2004, we added one hotel to the collateral pool and borrowed an additional $25 million under this facility. See "—Recent Transactions” below. The amount available to us under this facility was permitted to fluctuate, prior to its conversion into commercial mortgage backed security (CMBS) loans, depending upon the number of hotels provided as security and the underwritten cash flows of those hotels. At July 23, 2004, all of the borrowings under this facility had been converted into CMBS loans. Of the $193.8 million borrowed under the facility, $21.5 million was converted into three fixed rate CMBS loans bearing an average interest rate of 6.08% per year with a maximum term of five years, $85.3 million was converted into six fixed rate CMBS loans bearing an average interest rate of 6.69% per year with a maximum term of 10 years and $87.0 million was converted into a floating rate CMBS loan bearing interest at LIBOR plus 2.11% with a maximum term of five years.

     In April 2003, we entered into a $150 million non-recourse secured facility consisting of a $115 million first mortgage loan and $35 million of mezzanine financing, at a combined floating interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.50%. The mortgage loan is secured by 10 full service hotels. The equity interests in the related special purpose ownership entities secure the mezzanine debt. The first mortgage loan and mezzanine debt mature in May 2006, but may be extended at our option for up to two, one-year periods. The proceeds were used to pay off all then outstanding borrowings under our unsecured line of credit.

     In 2003, by amendment, we reduced our unsecured line of credit commitments from $300 million to $50 million and obtained more relaxed covenant levels.

     During 2003, we re-branded three hotels, two of which had been acquired during 2002. We re-branded one of our independent hotels in Dallas, Texas, as Staybridge Suites hotel, re-branded an independent hotel acquired in Charlotte, North Carolina, as a Doubletree hotel and converted a Wyndham hotel acquired in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, to a Hilton hotel. During the first quarter of 2004, these re-branded or converted hotels achieved RevPAR increases, compared to the same period of 2003, of 92%, 49% and 70%, respectively.

     For 2003, we paid preferred distributions of $1.95 per share on our Series A preferred shares and preferred distributions of $2.25 per depository share on our Series B preferred shares. No common distributions were paid during 2003.

Developments During 2004

     In March 2004, we elected to terminate our line of credit, which resulted in the first quarter charge-off of unamortized loan costs of approximately $0.2 million and which we expect to produce cash savings of approximately $0.4 million during the remainder of 2004.

     On March 12, 2004, we purchased the 132-room Santa Monica Holiday Inn for $27 million.

     On April 5, 2004, we issued an aggregate of 4.6 million shares of our $1.95 Series A preferred stock in an underwritten public offering, generating net proceeds of approximately $105 million. We used these proceeds to reduce debt, as part of our debt-reduction plan.

     Effective April 23, 2004, Richard J. O’Brien, our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer since 2001, submitted his resignation. Mr. O’Brien left FelCor to pursue other opportunities. We have engaged a professional search firm to assist us in identifying potential candidates to fill the vacancy created by Mr. O’Brien’s resignation.

     Since December 31, 2003, through June 30, 2004, we have sold seven hotels, receiving proceeds of approximately $43 million.

     On June 30, 2004, we assigned our interests in one of our hotels in San Francisco to the ground lessor pursuant to a settlement agreement, and we paid the ground lessor $5 million in exchange for a release from the ground lessor. In addition, we also received a release from any termination liability to IHG arising from the termination of their management agreement for the hotel. See “—Legal Proceedings.”

Recent Transactions

     As part of our plan to reduce our financial leverage, reduce our interest expense and extend the maturities of our debt, we consummated the following transactions:

  The Offers. We issued $290 million aggregate principal amount of our old notes in two separate offerings. The net proceeds of these offerings were used to fund a portion of the offers to purchase described below.
 
  Offers to Purchase. In June 2004, we concluded an offer to purchase $275 million aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 9 1/2% senior notes due 2008, and in July 2004, we concluded another offer to purchase $115 million aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 9 1/2% senior notes. Those notes currently bear interest at a rate of 10% per year. The initial offer was made at a purchase price of $1,052.05 per $1,000 principal amount of the notes, plus an early tender premium of $20 per $1,000 principal amount of notes that were tendered on or prior to May 24, 2004. The second offer was made at a purchase price of $1,041.62 per $1,000 principal amount of the notes, plus an early tender premium of $20 per $1,000 principal amount of notes that were tendered on or prior to July 12, 2004. We may elect to redeem all or any portion of the 9 1/2% senior notes due 2008 that remain outstanding, on or after September 15, 2004, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the indenture under which the 9 1/2% senior notes due 2008 were issued. The offers to purchase did not constitute calls for redemption.
 
  Redemption of 7 3/8% senior notes due 2004. In June 2004, we also redeemed all $175 million principal amount of our 7 3/8% senior notes due 2004, at a redemption price determined in accordance with the terms of the indenture governing those notes. We funded a portion of the redemption price by borrowing the $169 million then available under our secured debt facility with JP Morgan Chase Bank described above.
 
  Termination of Fixed-to-Floating Interest Rate Swaps. Since late May 2004, we have terminated fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps in an aggregate notional amount of $400 million at a net cost to us of approximately $2.6 million. As a result, at July 23, 2004, our floating interest rate debt represented approximately 28% of our consolidated total debt.

The Industry

     Calendar years 2001 and 2002 produced the first two consecutive years of declining industry RevPAR since such statistics began to be compiled. It was in this environment that we began 2003. The following historical data was provided by Smith Travel Research, or STR, a leading provider of industry data, and was obtained from its presentation to the Americas Lodging Investment Summit on January 19, 2004, STR Lodging Review, January 22, 2004, and STR Lodging Review, February, 2004.

     Industry demand during the first quarter of 2003 was adversely affected by a number of factors, including the pending war with Iraq, “Orange Level” travel alerts and the outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, or SARS. These factors continued to affect the lodging industry during the second quarter, as the crisis in the Middle East culminated in Operation Iraqi Freedom and as medical professionals were working around the globe to curb the spread of SARS. Despite the rapid collapse of the Iraqi regime and the announcement of the end of major combat operations on March 1, “Orange Level” alerts continued to impact travel throughout the year. In July, the industry performance finally started to improve, and RevPAR, a key indicator of hotel market performance, increased above 2002 levels. Driven by slightly higher occupancy, but essentially unchanged average daily rate, or ADR, the full year 2003 finished with RevPAR 0.2% higher than in 2002.

     Overall, the demand for U.S. hotel rooms for the full year 2003 increased 1.6%, while the growth in new supply continued to decline, increasing only 1.3% for the year. Leisure travelers accounted for a significant portion of the increased demand, while business travel remained weak due to the economy’s “jobless recovery” and the limited willingness of businesses to increase travel budgets. Average daily lodging demand in 2003 for weekend nights (Friday and Saturday) was 2.9 million rooms, which is slightly above the prior year. In contrast, average daily weekday demand in 2003 was 2.6 million rooms, which is still below the peak of 2.7 million rooms attained in 2000. Following the decline of demand in 2001 (minus 3.5%) and an almost stagnant year in 2002 (plus 0.6%), the 1.6% increase in demand during 2003 hopefully signals the beginning of a recovery in the industry. Nevertheless, the modest recovery in demand during 2003 was not uniform across the industry, with significant differences in performance between geographic locations and hotel types. Houston, Atlanta and Denver suffered from declines in demand in 2003, compared to the prior year, while Anaheim, Phoenix and San Diego experienced strong increases in demand. Both the Midscale With Food & Beverage and the Economy chain categories, as defined by STR, saw demand decline, while all other categories showed an improvement in demand.

     Growth in the supply of available rooms is a critical factor in determining the health of the lodging industry and in the ability of hotels to raise or sustain rates in a market. The growth rate of available rooms has steadily declined over the last six years, from 3.9% in 1998 to only 1.3% in 2003, and is projected to increase only 1.4% during 2004. This level of growth is the lowest since 1993, and well below the historical 15-year average.

     Many sources predict that 2004 will be a year of substantial recovery for the lodging industry. The United States economy’s strong growth in the third and fourth quarters of 2003, together with rebounding corporate profits and a rising stock market, have given us a reason to be hopeful. STR forecasts that RevPAR for the United States lodging industry will increase by 4.5% during 2004, assuming that supply growth remains fairly stable and demand achieves expected levels. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has been even more optimistic. Their firm, at its presentation to the Americas Lodging Investment Summit on January 19, 2004, forecasted industry RevPAR to increase 5.2% during 2004. However, the road to recovery is unlikely to be uniform across the country, with each market facing its own dynamics between demand and supply.

     During the first quarter of 2004, our 156 hotels included in continuing operations achieved increases in RevPAR, compared to the same period of 2003, of 4.4%.

     At March 31, 2004, STR classified hotel chains into six distinct categories: Upper Upscale, Upscale, Midscale With Food & Beverage, Midscale Without Food & Beverage, Economy, and Independents. We own properties in the Upper Upscale (including Doubletree Guest Suites, Doubletree, Embassy Suites Hotels, Sheraton and Westin hotels), Upscale (including Crowne Plaza and Homewood Suites), and Midscale With Food & Beverage (including Holiday Inn and Holiday Inn Select hotels) categories, from which we derived approximately 98% of our hotel operating profit in 2003, with Upper Upscale all-suite hotels providing approximately 55% of our hotel operating profit.

     STR also categorizes hotels based upon their relative market positions, as measured by their ADR, as Luxury, Upscale, Midprice, Economy and Budget. The following table contains information with respect to average occupancy (determined by dividing occupied rooms by available rooms), ADR and RevPAR for the hotels in which we held an ownership interest, as well as all Upscale United States hotels, all Midprice United States hotels and all United States hotels, as reported by STR, for the periods indicated.

Business Strategy

     We have identified three long term strategic objectives: growth in our earnings; improvement in our return on invested capital; and reduction in our overall financial leverage. In order to achieve these strategic objectives, our business strategy is to: dispose of non-strategic hotels; acquire hotels that meet our refined investment strategy; improve the competitive positioning of our core hotels through aggressive asset management, selective re-branding and the judicious application of capital; and pay down debt through a combination of cash on hand, operational cash flow (which should become available as the lodging industry recovers), the sale of non-strategic hotels and, if appropriate, other capital transactions.

Non-Strategic Hotels

     In 2003, we completed a comprehensive review (that began in 2000) of our investment strategy and of our existing hotel portfolio, as a result of which we decided to sell certain under-performing smaller hotels in secondary and tertiary markets, in markets with high supply growth and in markets in which we had an undesirable concentration, such as Dallas. We had identified 53 hotels as being non-strategic by the end of 2002, and we identified an additional 18 non-strategic hotels during 2003. At March 31, 2004, we had disposed of 40 of the hotels so identified, had two hotels under firm contracts of sale with non-refundable deposits (which were classified as “held for sale” and included in our discontinued operations) and had 29 remaining hotels identified for sale over the following two years. As a result of our decision to undertake the sale of these non-strategic hotels, we recorded impairment charges totaling $158 million during 2002 and $246 million during 2003 to reflect the difference between the book value and the then estimated fair market value of these hotels.

     Following preliminary discussions with FelCor’s board of directors on a proposed investment strategy, as part of our ongoing development of a long term strategic plan, in December 2002, FelCor made an initial recommendation to its board of directors that 33 hotels be designated as non-strategic and that efforts be initiated to sell these hotels. Six of these 33 hotels had been identified for sale in prior periods and were included in the hotels for which an impairment loss of $7 million was recorded in 2001. As a result of its board of directors’ approval of this recommendation, it was determined that it was more likely than not that these 33 hotels would be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of their previously estimated useful life, triggering an impairment test on these hotels, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, 144. As a result of the impairment test, it was determined that an impairment existed with respect to 20 of the 33 hotels tested. Accordingly, an impairment charge was taken in 2002 on these 20 hotels in an amount equal to $158 million, being the difference between their book value and our then current estimate of their fair market value.

     Under the management agreement entered into with IHG in July 2001, we were obligated to reinvest the net proceeds from the sale of any IHG managed hotel in other IHG managed hotels or pay substantial liquidated damages to IHG, which made it impractical to sell certain hotels that might otherwise be considered non-strategic. In September 2003, we completed an amendment to the IHG management agreement covering 78 of our hotels, pursuant to which we extended the term of the management contracts on 27 hotels from 2013 to 2018 and, in exchange, we received from IHG a credit of approximately $25 million, subject to increase under certain circumstances, to apply to the satisfaction of the liquidated damages otherwise payable to IHG upon the sale of 35 IHG managed hotels. We agreed that the proceeds of hotel sales for which the credit was utilized would be applied to the reduction of our debt. In the third quarter of 2003, as a result of this amendment, we identified an additional 11 IHG managed hotels as non-strategic and took an impairment charge in the amount of $121 million in the third quarter of 2003 with respect to those hotels, and certain other previously identified non-strategic hotels, to reduce their book values to our then current estimates of their fair market value. Through 2003, we utilized approximately $9 million of the $25 million credit available to us and currently expect to use the balance of this credit during 2004 as a result of IHG hotel sale proceeds in the range of $58 to $126 million. Following the full utilization of this credit, we will again be required to reinvest the proceeds from the sale of IHG managed hotels in other hotels to be managed by IHG or pay substantial termination fees.

     In the fourth quarter of 2003, FelCor completed its analysis of other potential sale candidate hotels and recommended to its board of directors a list of seven additional hotels to be considered non-strategic. As a result of FelCor’s board of directors designation of these hotels to be non-strategic, we concluded that it was more likely than not these seven hotels would be sold significantly before the end of their previously estimated useful life, triggering an impairment test in accordance with SFAS 144. As a result of the impairment test, an impairment charge in the amount of $125 million was taken on all seven hotels, and certain other previously identified non-strategic hotels, to reduce their book values to our then current estimates of their fair value.

     At December 31, 2003, we had 161 hotels included in our consolidated operations, including two that were classified as “held for sale” and included in discontinued operations, and we had 33 remaining hotels that had been identified as non-strategic. Also included in our discontinued operations at December 31, 2003, were 16 hotels disposed of during 2003. Disposition proceeds from the 16 non-strategic hotels and two parking garages sold during 2003 totaled approximately $125 million.

     Since December 31, 2003, through June 30, 2004, we have sold seven hotels, including the two hotels “held for sale” at December 31, 2003, receiving gross proceeds of approximately $43 million, and we expect to dispose of the currently remaining 28 non-strategic hotels over the next two years. We expect the aggregate gross sale proceeds from the 35 non-strategic hotels owned by us at December 31, 2003, to be approximately $250 million.

     The 29 non-strategic hotels included in our continuing operations at March 31, 2004, represented 18% of the rooms in our hotel portfolio, but approximately 8% of our consolidated hotel operating profit in the first quarter of 2004. The operating margin for these 29 non-strategic hotels was 18.6%, compared to 30.3% for the remainder of our portfolio during the first quarter of 2004.

Refined Investment Strategy

     We have begun to consider the acquisition of hotels that meet our refined investment strategy. We plan to focus our acquisition efforts on higher quality hotels in markets with significant barriers to entry, such as central business districts and resort locations. We anticipate that this focus will lead to an increase in the number of our upper upscale properties and group and resort destination properties, and greater diversification of our portfolio by geographic location, brand and customer base. In keeping with this strategy, in March 2004, we purchased the 132-room Santa Monica Holiday Inn. This hotel has a premier location across from the Santa Monica Pier and the Santa Monica beaches and will continue to be operated as a full service upscale hotel because of the high room rates charged in this market.

Improving the Competitive Positioning of Our Core Hotels

     We seek to improve the competitive positioning of our core hotels through aggressive asset management and maintenance of strong relationships with our brand-owner managers. While REIT requirements prohibit us from directly managing our hotels, we work closely with our brand-owner managers to actively monitor and review hotel operations. We strongly urge our managers to implement best practices in expense management at our hotels, and we strive to influence brand strategy on marketing and revenue enhancement programs. One of our officers is assigned to work, on a full-time basis, with our brand-owner managers to maximize the revenues of our hotels. Consistent with our commitment to position our hotels for a recovery in the lodging industry, we successfully re-branded three hotels during 2003 and continued making both revenue enhancing and maintenance capital improvements at our hotels. During 2003, we spent an aggregate of $68 million on capital expenditures, including our pro rata share of capital

41


Table of Contents

improvements made by our unconsolidated joint ventures. In addition to our capital expenditures, in 2003 we spent 7.3% of our hotel room revenue on repair and maintenance expenses. During 2004, we currently expect to make $75 to $100 million in capital expenditures on our hotels.

   Paydown of Debt

     We are committed to pay down our debt, while maintaining short-term liquidity. At March 31, 2004, we had cash balances of $232 million, which included approximately $55 million held under our hotel management agreements to meet our hotel minimum working capital requirements or held in escrow under certain of our debt agreements. Consistent with our strategy to reduce our debt, reduce our interest expense and extend the maturities of our debt, since March 31, 2004, we (i) issued 4.6 million shares of our $1.95 Series A preferred stock in April 2004, realizing additional net cash proceeds of $105 million, (ii) issued $290 million aggregate principal amount of senior floating rate notes due 2011, (iii) borrowed $193.8 million under secured debt facility, (iv) purchased, in the open market and pursuant to two tender offers, $440 million aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 9 1/2% senior notes due 2008, which currently bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum and (v) redeemed all $175 million aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 7 3/8% senior notes due 2004. This leaves us with no other significant debt maturities (other than those that may be extended at our option) until 2007, when $125 million of our 7 5/8% senior notes due 2007 mature. We will continue to seek opportunities to acquire or pay down our debt on an economically sound basis. See “—Recent Transactions.”

Management Agreements

     The management agreements governing the operation of 86 of our hotels that are (i) managed by IHG or Starwood under brands owned by them, or (ii) managed by Hilton under the Doubletree brand, contain the right and license to operate the hotels under the specified brands. No separate franchise agreements are required for the operation of these hotels.

     Management Fees and Performance Standards. Under the management agreements with IHG, the TRS lessees generally pay IHG a basic management fee for each hotel equal to 2% of total revenue of the hotel plus 5% of the room revenue of the hotel for each fiscal month during the initial term and any renewal term. The minimum basic management fees owed under the other management agreements are generally as follows:

  Doubletree—between 2% and 3% of the hotel’s total revenue per month;
 
  Sheraton—2% of the hotel’s total revenue per month; and
 
  Embassy Suites Hotels—2% of the hotel’s total revenue per month.

     Under the management agreements with IHG, the TRS lessees are required to pay an incentive management fee based on the performance of all the managed hotels, considered in the aggregate. The incentive management fee is computed as a percentage of hotel profits in excess of specified returns to us, based on our investment in the managed hotels. The management agreements with the other managers generally provide for an incentive management fee based on a percentage of the TRS lessee’s net income before overhead, on a hotel by hotel basis.

     Term and Termination. The management agreements with IHG terminate in 2018 for 33 hotels and 2013 for the remainder. IHG may renew the management agreements under certain circumstances, for one additional five-year term on mutually acceptable terms and conditions. The TRSs may elect not to continue to operate the hotels under the brand beyond the expiration of the initial term; however, that election will give IHG the right to force us to sell that hotel to it at an appraised value. The management agreements with the other managers generally have initial terms of between 10 and 20 years, and the agreements are generally renewable beyond the initial term for a period or periods of between five and 10 years only upon the mutual written agreement of the parties. Management agreements covering 63 of our hotels expire, subject to any renewal rights, within the next five years.

     The management agreements are generally terminable upon the occurrence of standard events of default or if the hotel subject to the agreement fails to meet certain financial expectations. Upon termination by either party for any reason, the TRSs generally will pay all amounts due and owing under the management agreement through the effective date of termination. Under the IHG management agreements, if we sell certain hotels, we may be required to pay IHG a monthly replacement management fee equal to the existing fee structure for up to one year. In addition, if a TRS breaches the agreement, resulting in a default and its termination, or otherwise causes or suffers a termination for any reason other than an event of default by IHG, the TRS may be liable for liquidated damages under the terms of the management agreement. However, if the termination results from the sale of a hotel, no liquidated damages will be owed if the net proceeds of the sold hotel are reinvested to purchase additional, or add rooms to existing, hotels licensed and managed by IHG within one year from the sale of the hotel.

     Assignment. Generally, neither party to the management agreements has the right to sell, assign or transfer the agreements to an unaffiliated third party without the prior written consent of the other party to the agreement, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. A change in control of either party will generally require the other’s consent, which may not be unreasonably withheld.

Franchise Agreements

     Other than our 86 hotels, whose license to use a brand name are contained in the management agreement governing their operations, and our 2 hotels that do not operate under a nationally recognized brand name, each of our remaining hotels operates under a separate franchise or license agreement. Of our 70 hotels that are operated under a separate franchise or license agreement, 56 are operated under the Embassy Suites Hotels brand.

     The Embassy Suites Hotels franchise license agreements to which we are a party grant us the right to the use of the Embassy Suites Hotels name, system and marks with respect to specified hotels and establish various management, operational, record-keeping, accounting, reporting and marketing standards and procedures with which the licensed hotel must comply. In addition, the franchisor establishes requirements for the quality and condition of the hotel and its furnishings, furniture and equipment, and we are obligated to expend such funds as may be required to maintain the hotel in compliance with those requirements.

     Typically, our Embassy Suites Hotels franchise license agreements provide for payment to the franchisor of a license fee or royalty of 4% of suite revenues. In addition, we pay approximately 3.5% of suite revenues as marketing and reservation system contributions for the systemwide benefit of Embassy Suites Hotels.

     Our typical Embassy Suites Hotels franchise license agreement provides for a term of 20 years, but we have a right to terminate the license for any particular hotel on the 10th or 15th anniversary of the agreement upon payment by us of an amount equal to the fees paid to the franchisor with respect to that hotel during the two preceding years. The agreements provide us with no renewal or extension rights. The agreements are not assignable by us and a change in control of the franchisee will constitute a default on our part. In the event we breach one of these agreements, in addition to losing the right to use the Embassy Suites Hotels name for the operation of the applicable hotel, we may be liable, under certain circumstances, for liquidated damages equal to the fees paid to the franchisor with respect to that hotel during the three preceding years. Franchise license agreements covering 12 of our Embassy Suites Hotels expire within the next five years.

Competition

     The hotel industry is highly competitive. Each of our hotels is located in a developed area that includes other hotel properties and competes for guests primarily with other full service and limited service hotels in its immediate vicinity and secondarily with other hotel properties in its geographic market. We believe that brand recognition, location, the quality of the hotel and services provided, and price are the principal competitive factors affecting our hotels.

Environmental Matters

     We customarily obtain a Phase I environmental survey from an independent environmental consultant before acquiring a hotel. The principal purpose of a Phase I survey is to identify indications of potential environmental contamination for which a property owner may have liability and, secondarily, to assess, to a limited extent, the potential for environmental regulatory compliance liabilities. The Phase I surveys of our hotels were designed to meet the requirements of the then current industry standards governing Phase I surveys, and consistent with those requirements, none of the surveys involved testing of groundwater, soil or air. Accordingly, they do not represent evaluations of conditions at the studied sites that would be revealed only through such testing. In addition, their assessment of environmental regulatory compliance issues was general in scope and was not a detailed determination of the hotel’s complete environmental compliance status. Similarly, the surveys did not involve comprehensive analysis of potential offsite liability. The Phase I survey reports did not reveal any environmental liability that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our business, assets or results of operations, nor are we aware of any such liability. Nevertheless, it is possible that these reports do not reveal or accurately assess all environmental liabilities and that there are material environmental liabilities of which we are unaware.

     We believe that our hotels are in compliance, in all material respects, with all federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations regarding hazardous substances and other environmental matters, the violation of which would have a material adverse effect on us. We have not been notified by any governmental authority or private party of any noncompliance, liability or claim relating to hazardous or toxic substances or other environmental matters in connection with any of our current or former properties that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our business, assets or results of operations. However, obligations for compliance with environmental laws that arise or are discovered in the future may adversely affect our financial condition.

Tax Status

     FelCor elected to be taxed as a REIT under the federal income tax laws, commencing with our initial taxable year ended December 31, 1994. As a REIT, FelCor generally is not subject to federal income taxation at the corporate level on taxable income that is distributed to our stockholders. We may, however, be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and property. A REIT is subject to a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that it currently distribute at least 90% of its annual taxable income. In connection with FelCor’s election to be taxed as a REIT, its charter imposes restrictions on the ownership and transfer of shares of its common stock. FelCor LP expects to make distributions on its units sufficient to enable FelCor to meet its distribution obligations as a REIT. As a result of the passage of the REIT Modernization Act, in 2001 we acquired or terminated all of our hotel leases and contributed them to TRSs. These TRSs are subject to both federal and state income taxes.

Employees

     Thomas J. Corcoran, Jr., our President and Chief Executive Officer, entered into an employment agreement with FelCor in 1994 that continues in effect until December 31, 2004, and automatically renews for successive one-year terms unless terminated by either party. All of our executive officers, including Mr. Corcoran, have change in control contracts that renew annually. FelCor had 65 full-time employees at March 31, 2004.

     All persons employed in the day-to-day operation of our hotels are employees of the management companies engaged by us and are not our employees.

Sharing of Offices and Employees

     We share our executive offices and certain employees with FelCor, Inc., an entity controlled by Mr. Corcoran. FelCor, Inc. bears its share of the costs thereof, including an allocated portion of the rent, salaries of certain personnel, office supplies, telephones and depreciation of office furniture, fixtures and equipment. Any allocation of these shared expenses to us must be approved by a majority of FelCor’s independent directors. During 2003, FelCor, Inc. paid approximately $46,000 of such expenses and we bore the balance of such expenses. Mr. Corcoran’s salary is paid solely by us and he receives no salary from FelCor, Inc. Mr. Corcoran is the President, Chief Executive Officer and a director of our company and also serves as a director (or manager) and the President of FelCor, Inc.

Legal Proceedings

     We leased the San Francisco Holiday Inn Select Downtown & Spa hotel under a lease that was to expire December 31, 2004. In May 2003, the lessor asserted that we were in default of our obligations for maintenance, repair and replacement under the lease, and asserted that the cost of correcting the alleged deficiencies was approximately $14 million. The lessor subsequently asserted that we were also in default of our capital expenditure obligations under the lease in the approximate amount of $3 million. In October 2003, we reached a partial settlement with the lessor, pursuant to which we paid the lessor $296,000 in full satisfaction and discharge of certain maintenance obligations that the lessor had valued in its original claim at $470,300. Following the completion of our evaluation of the remainder of the lessor’s claims, we engaged in negotiations with the lessor and, on May 3, 2004, executed a definitive settlement agreement. Under the terms of the settlement, we paid the lessor $5 million and assigned our interest in the hotel to the lessor as of June 30, 2004, in exchange for which we were relieved of the obligation to make any capital improvements to the hotel that are not specifically agreed to, and received a full release of all known and unknown claims and further obligations under the lease. In addition, we received a release of any termination liability to IHG with respect to the termination of its management agreement with respect to this hotel.

     Other than the previously described claim, at March 31, 2004, there was no litigation pending or known to be threatened against us or affecting any of our hotels, other than claims arising in the ordinary course of business or which are not considered to be material. Furthermore, most of these ordinary course of business claims are substantially covered by insurance. We do not believe that any claims known to us, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on us.

  $300 million aggregate principal amount of 8 1/2% senior notes due 2011, issued under an indenture dated June 4, 2001; and
 
  $600 million aggregate principal amount of 9 1/2% senior notes due 2008, issued under an indenture dated September 15, 2000.

     Since March 31, 2004, we have issued $290 million aggregate principal amount of the old notes, redeemed all $175 million aggregate principal amount of 7 3/8% senior notes due 2004, and repurchased, through tender offers and open market purchases, $440 million aggregate principal amount of 9 1/2% senior notes due 2008.

     The indentures for our outstanding senior notes contain covenants and restrictions that are customary for senior notes of this nature. These covenants and restrictions limit, among other things, our ability to:

  pay dividends and other distributions with respect to our equity interests and purchase, redeem or retire our equity interests;
 
  incur additional indebtedness and issue preferred equity interest;
 
  enter into certain asset sales;
 
  enter into transactions with affiliates;
 
  incur liens on assets to secure certain debt; and
 
  engage in certain merger or consolidations and transfers of assets.

     The indentures also limit our restricted subsidiaries’ ability to create restrictions on making certain payments and distributions.

     Indebtedness under each series of senior notes is guaranteed by the subsidiaries that guarantee other indebtedness of ours.

Mortgage Debt

     As of March 31, 2004, we had aggregate indebtedness of approximately $838 million that was secured by certain of our real estate assets with an aggregate book value of approximately $1.4 billion. Since March 31, 2004, we have incurred additional indebtedness of $193.8 million under our secured debt facility. This facility is secured by 15 hotels with an aggregate book value of approximately $382.8 million. Substantially all of our mortgage debt, including the secured debt facility, is recourse solely to specific assets, except for fraud, misapplication of funds and other customary recourse provisions. Thirty-three of these assets secure mortgage debt that contains restrictive covenants that require the mortgage servicer or lender to retain and hold in escrow the cash flow after debt service when it declines below specified operating levels.

DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES AND GUARANTEES

     The old notes were , and the new notes will be, issued under an indenture, dated as of May 26, 2004, among FelCor LP, as issuer, FelCor, as a guarantor, the Subsidiary Guarantors and SunTrust Bank, as trustee. The terms of the old notes and the new notes include those stated in the indenture and those made part of the indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. The terms of the new notes are substantially identical to the terms of the old notes, except for certain transfer restrictions and registration rights relating to the old notes.

     The following description of certain provisions of the indenture is a summary only. It does not restate the indenture in its entirety. Because this a summary, we urge you to read the indenture and the relevant portions of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 because they, and not this description, define your rights. More specific terms, as well as definitions of relevant terms, can be found in the indenture and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. We have a filed a copy of the indenture with the SEC as an exhibit to the registration statement, of which this prospectus constitutes a part. You may request a copy of the indenture by contacting us at the address set forth under “Where You Can Find More Information.”

     You can find definitions of certain capitalized terms used in this description under “—Certain Definitions.” For purposes of this section only, references to FelCor LP and FelCor do not include their respective subsidiaries.

General

     The old notes are in the aggregate principal amount of $290 million. The old notes are, and the new notes will be, unsecured senior obligations of FelCor LP. The notes will mature on June 1, 2011.

     Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the notes will be payable, and the notes may be exchanged or transferred, at the office or agency of FelCor LP in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, which initially will be the corporate trust office of the trustee c/o Harris Trust of New York, Wall Street Plaza, 88 Pine Street, 19th Floor, New York, New York 10005, as agent for the trustee; provided that, at the option of FelCor LP, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the holders at their addresses as they appear in the security register for the notes.

     The notes will be issued only in fully registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 of principal amount and any integral multiple. See "—Book-Entry; Delivery and Form.” No service charge will be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of notes, but FelCor LP may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or other similar governmental charge payable in connection with a registration of transfer.

     Subject to the covenants described below under “—Covenants” and applicable law, FelCor LP may issue additional notes under the indenture. The notes and any additional notes subsequently issued under the indenture will be treated as a single class for all purposes under the indenture.

Interest

     Interest on the notes will be payable semi-annually in cash on each June 1 and December 1, commencing on December 1, 2004, to the persons who are registered holders at the close of business on May 15 and November 15 immediately preceding the applicable interest payment date. Interest on the notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from and including the date of issuance.

     The notes will bear interest at a rate per annum, reset semi-annually, equal to LIBOR plus 4.25%, as determined by the calculation agent appointed by FelCor LP (the “Calculation Agent”), which currently is the trustee.

     Set forth below is a summary of certain of the defined terms used in the indenture relating to the determination of interest on the notes.

     “LIBOR,” with respect to an Interest Period, will be the rate (expressed as a percentage per annum) for deposits in United States dollars for a six-month period beginning on the second London Banking Day after the Determination Date that appears on Telerate Page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on the Determination Date. If Telerate Page 3750 does not include such a rate or is unavailable on a Determination Date, the Calculation Agent will request the principal London office of each of four major banks in the

52


Table of Contents

London interbank market, as selected by the Calculation Agent, to provide such bank’s offered quotation (expressed as a percentage per annum), as of approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such Determination Date, to prime banks in the London interbank market for deposits in a Representative Amount in United States dollars for a six-month period beginning on the second London Banking Day after the Determination Date. If at least two such offered quotations are so provided, LIBOR for the Interest Period will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two such quotations are so provided, the Calculation Agent will request each of three major banks in New York City, as selected by the Calculation Agent, to provide such bank’s rate (expressed as a percentage per annum), as of approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Determination Date, for loans in a Representative Amount in United States dollars to leading European banks for a six-month period beginning on the second London Banking Day after the Determination Date. If at least two such rates are so provided, LIBOR for the Interest Period will be the arithmetic mean of such rates. If fewer than two such rates are so provided, then LIBOR for the Interest Period will be LIBOR in effect with respect to the immediately preceding Interest Period.

     “Interest Period” means the period commencing on and including an interest payment date and ending on and including the day immediately preceding the next succeeding interest payment date, with the exception that the first Interest Period shall commence on and include May 26, 2004 and end on and include November 30, 2004.

     “Determination Date,” with respect to an Interest Period, will be the second London Banking Day preceding the first day of the Interest Period.

     “London Banking Day” is any day in which dealings in United States dollars are transacted or, with respect to any future date, are expected to be transacted in the London interbank market.

     “Representative Amount” means a principal amount of not less than U.S. $1,000,000 for a single transaction in the relevant market at the relevant time.

     “Telerate Page 3750” means the display designated as “Page 3750” on the Moneyline Telerate service (or such other page as may replace Page 3750 on that service).

     The amount of interest for each day that the notes are outstanding (the “Daily Interest Amount”) will be calculated by dividing the interest rate in effect for such day by 360 and multiplying the result by the principal amount of the notes. The amount of interest to be paid on the notes for each Interest Period will be calculated by adding the Daily Interest Amounts for each day in the Interest Period.

     All percentages resulting from any of the above calculations will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with the final one-millionths of a percentage point being rounded upwards (e.g., 9.876545% (or .09876545) being rounded to 9.87655% (or ..0987655)) and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculations will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upwards).

     The interest rate on the notes will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law as the same may be modified by United States law of general application.

     The Calculation Agent will, upon the request of the holder of any note, provide the interest rate then in effect with respect to the notes. All calculations made by the Calculation Agent in the absence of manifest error will be conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Company, the Guarantors and the holders of the notes.

Guarantees

     Each series of our Existing Senior Notes and the notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed as to principal, premium, if any, and interest, jointly and severally, by FelCor and the Subsidiary Guarantors. If we default in the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any of the Existing Senior Notes or the notes when and as the same become due, whether upon maturity, acceleration, call for redemption, Change of Control, offer to purchase or otherwise, without the necessity of action by the trustee or any holder, FelCor and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be required promptly to make such payment in full. The indenture provides that FelCor and the Subsidiary Guarantors will be released from their obligations as guarantors under the notes under certain circumstances. The guarantees will be unconditional regardless of the enforceability of the notes or the indenture. The obligations of FelCor and the Subsidiary Guarantors will be limited in a manner intended to avoid such obligations being construed as fraudulent conveyances under applicable law.

Table of Contents

     Each of our current and future Restricted Subsidiaries that subsequently guarantees any Indebtedness (the “Guaranteed Indebtedness”) of FelCor LP or FelCor (each a “Future Subsidiary Guarantor”) will be required to guarantee the notes and any other series of senior securities guaranteed by the Subsidiary Guarantors. If the Guaranteed Indebtedness is (A) pari passu in right of payment with such senior securities, then the guarantee of such Guaranteed Indebtedness shall be pari passu in right of payment with, or subordinated in right of payment to, the Subsidiary Guarantee or (B) subordinated in right of payment to such senior securities, then the guarantee of such Guaranteed Indebtedness shall be subordinated in right of payment to the Subsidiary Guarantee at least to the extent that the Guaranteed Indebtedness is subordinated in right of payment to such senior securities.

     Subject to compliance with the preceding paragraph, the indenture also provides that any guarantee by a Subsidiary Guarantor will be automatically and unconditionally released upon (1) the sale or other disposition of the Capital Stock of the Subsidiary Guarantor, if, as a result of such sale or disposition, such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a subsidiary of FelCor LP, (2) the consolidation or merger of any such Subsidiary Guarantor with any person other than FelCor LP or a Subsidiary of FelCor LP, if, as a result of such consolidation or merger, such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a subsidiary of FelCor LP, (3) a Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance of the indenture or (4) the unconditional and complete release of such Subsidiary Guarantor from its guarantee of all Guaranteed Indebtedness.

Optional Redemption

     Optional Redemption. Except as described below, FelCor LP will not have the right to redeem any notes prior to December 1, 2006. The notes will be redeemable at the option of FelCor LP, in whole or in part, at any time, and from time to time, on and after December 1, 2006, upon not less than 30 days’ nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the following redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount thereof) if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing December 1 of the years indicated below, in each case together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date:

2008 and thereafter
    100.000 %

     Optional Redemption upon Equity Offerings. At any time, or from time to time, on or prior to June 1, 2007, FelCor LP may, at its option, use the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings to redeem up to 35% of the principal amount of the notes at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the then applicable interest rate on the notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption; provided that:

     (1) at least 65% of the principal amount of the notes issued under the indenture remains outstanding immediately after such redemption; and

     (2) FelCor LP makes such redemption not more than 90 days after the consummation of any such Equity Offering.

Selection and Notice of Redemption

     In the event that FelCor LP chooses to redeem less than all of the notes, selection of the notes for redemption will be made by the trustee either:

     (1) in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the notes are listed; or,

     (2) on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the trustee shall deem fair and appropriate.

     No notes of a principal amount of $1,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. If a partial redemption is made with the proceeds of an Equity Offering, the trustee will select the notes only on a pro rata basis or on as nearly a pro rata basis as is practicable (subject to DTC procedures) unless such method is otherwise prohibited. Notice of redemption will be mailed by first-class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each holder of notes to be redeemed at its registered address. Unless FelCor LP defaults in the payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on notes or portions thereof called for redemption.

Sinking Fund

     There will be no sinking fund payments for the notes.

Registration Rights

     FelCor LP and FelCor agreed with the initial purchaser of the old notes, for the benefit of the holders, that FelCor LP and FelCor would use their best efforts, at their cost, to file and cause to become effective a registration statement with respect to a registered exchange offer to exchange the old notes for an issue of notes that will be senior notes of FelCor LP with terms identical to the old notes, except that the notes would not have legends restricting transfer. The exchange offer being made by this prospectus and the registration statement, of which this prospectus constitutes a part, is intended to satisfy the foregoing obligations of FelCor LP and FelCor. The agreements with the initial purchaser require this exchange offer to remain open for at least 20 business days after the date notice of the exchange offer is mailed to the holders of old notes. For each old note surrendered to FelCor LP under the exchange offer, the holder will receive a new note of equal principal amount.

     Based on an interpretation by the Commission’s staff set forth in no-action letters issued to third parties unrelated to us, we believe that, with the exception set forth below, the new notes issued pursuant to the exchange offer in exchange for old notes may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by their holders, other than any holder which is our “affiliate” within the meaning of Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act, or a broker-dealer who purchased old notes directly from FelCor LP to resell pursuant to Rule 144A or any other available exemption promulgated under the Securities Act, without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, provided that the new notes are acquired in the ordinary course of business of the holder and the holder does not have any arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the new notes. Any holder who tenders in this exchange offer for the purpose of participating in a distribution of the new notes cannot rely on this interpretation by the Commission’s staff and must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with a secondary resale transaction. Each broker-dealer that receives new notes for its own account in exchange for old notes that were acquired by it as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of the new notes. See “Plan of Distribution.” Broker-dealers who acquired old notes directly from us and not as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities may not rely on the staff’s interpretations discussed above or participate in this exchange offer and must comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in order to sell the old notes.

     If the exchange offer is not consummated by November 22, 2004, the annual interest rate borne by the old notes will be increased by 0.5% until the exchange offer is consummated or the SEC declares the shelf registration statement covering the resale of the old notes effective.

     FelCor LP and FelCor are entitled to close the exchange offer 20 business days after its commencement; provided that FelCor LP has accepted all old notes validly tendered in accordance with the terms of the exchange offer. Old notes not tendered in this exchange offer will bear interest at the rate set forth on the cover page of this prospectus and will be subject to all of the terms and conditions specified in the indenture and to the transfer restrictions described in “Notice to Investors” in the offering memorandum relating to the old notes.

     This description of some of the provisions of the registration rights agreement is a summary only. We urge you to read the registration rights agreement because it defines your rights regarding registration of the old notes. A copy of the registration rights agreement has been filed with the SEC as an exhibit to the registration statement, of which this prospectus constitutes a part. You may request a copy of this agreement by contacting us at the address set forth under “Where You Can Find More Information.”

Ranking

     The old notes are, and the new note will be, unsecured senior obligations of FelCor LP, and rank equally in right of payment with other unsecured Senior Indebtedness of FelCor LP. The notes are effectively subordinated to all of our and our consolidated Subsidiaries’ secured Indebtedness and to all other Indebtedness of the non-guarantor Subsidiaries. Our secured Indebtedness includes only mortgage and capitalized lease debt. As of March 31, 2004, we and our consolidated Subsidiaries had approximately $838 million of mortgage and capitalized lease debt, which is effectively senior to the notes to the extent of the value of the underlying assets.

    apply an amount equal to such excess Net Cash Proceeds to permanently reduce Senior Indebtedness of FelCor LP, FelCor, or any Restricted Subsidiary or Indebtedness of any other Restricted Subsidiary, in each case owing to a Person other than FelCor LP, FelCor or any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries, or
 
    invest an equal amount, or the amount not so applied pursuant to the foregoing bullet (or enter into a definitive agreement committing to so invest within 12 months after the date of such agreement), in property or assets (other than current assets) of a nature or type or that are used in a business (or in a Restricted Subsidiary having property and assets of a nature or type, or engaged in a business) similar or related to the nature or type of the property and assets of, or the business of, FelCor LP or FelCor or any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries existing on the date of such investment, and

     (2) apply (no later than the end of the 12-month period referred to in clause (1)) such excess Net Cash Proceeds (to the extent not applied pursuant to clause (1)) as provided in the following paragraph of this “Limitation on Asset Sales” covenant.

     The amount of such excess Net Cash Proceeds required to be applied (or to be committed to be applied) during such 12-month period as set forth in clause (1) of the preceding sentence and not applied as so required by the end of such period shall constitute “Excess Proceeds.” If, as of the first day of any calendar month, the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds not previously subject to an Offer to Purchase pursuant to this “Limitation on Asset Sales” covenant totals at least $10 million, FelCor LP must commence, not later than the fifteenth Business Day of such month, and consummate an Offer to Purchase from the holders on a pro rata basis an aggregate principal amount of notes equal to the Excess Proceeds on such date, at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes, plus, in each case, accrued interest (if any) to the Payment Date.

Repurchase of Notes upon a Change of Control

     FelCor LP must commence, within 30 days of the occurrence of a Change of Control, and consummate an Offer to Purchase for all notes then outstanding, at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the notes, plus accrued interest (if any) to the Payment Date.

     There can be no assurance that FelCor LP will have sufficient funds available at the time of any Change of Control to make any debt payment (including repurchases of notes) required by the foregoing covenant (as well as any covenant that may be contained in other securities of FelCor LP or FelCor that might be outstanding at the time). The above covenant requiring FelCor LP to repurchase the notes will, unless consents are obtained, require FelCor LP to repay all indebtedness then outstanding which by its terms would prohibit such note repurchase, either prior to or concurrently with such note repurchase.

SEC Reports and Reports to Holders

     Whether or not FelCor LP or FelCor is then required to file reports with the SEC, FelCor LP and FelCor shall file with the SEC all such reports and other information as they would be required to file with the SEC by Sections 13(a) or 15(d) under the Exchange Act if they were subject thereto; provided that, if filing such documents by FelCor LP or FelCor with the SEC is not permitted under the Exchange Act, FelCor LP or FelCor shall provide such documents to the trustee and upon written request supply copies of such documents to any prospective holder; provided, further, that if the rules and regulations of the SEC permit FelCor LP and FelCor to file combined reports or information pursuant to the Exchange Act, FelCor LP and FelCor may file combined reports and information. FelCor LP and FelCor shall supply the trustee and each holder or shall supply to the trustee for forwarding to each such holder, without cost to such holder, copies of such reports and other information.

Events of Default

     Events of Default under the indenture include the following:

     (1) default in the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, on any note when they are due and payable at maturity, upon acceleration, redemption or otherwise;

     (2) default in the payment of interest on any note when they are due and payable, and such default continues for a period of 30 days;

Table of Contents

     (3) default in the performance or breach of the provisions of the indenture applicable to mergers, consolidations and transfers of all or substantially all of the assets of FelCor LP and FelCor or the failure by FelCor LP to make or consummate an Offer to Purchase in accordance with the “Limitations on Asset Sales” or “Repurchase of Notes upon a Change of Control” covenants;

     (4) FelCor LP or FelCor defaults in the performance of or breaches any other covenant or agreement of FelCor LP or FelCor in the indenture or under the notes (other than a default specified in clause (1), (2) or (3) above) and such default or breach continues for a period of 30 consecutive days after written notice by the trustee or the holders of 25% or more in aggregate principal amount of the notes;

     (5) there occurs with respect to any issue or issues of Indebtedness of FelCor LP or FelCor or any Significant Subsidiary having an outstanding principal amount of $10 million or more in the aggregate for all such issues of all such Persons, whether such Indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created,

    an event of default that has caused the holder thereof to declare such Indebtedness to be due and payable prior to its Stated Maturity and such Indebtedness has not been discharged in full or such acceleration has not been rescinded or annulled within 30 days of such acceleration and/or
 
    the failure to make a principal payment at the final (but not any interim) fixed maturity and such defaulted payment shall not have been made, waived or extended within 30 days of such payment default;

     (6) any final judgment or order (not covered by insurance) for the payment of money in excess of $10 million in the aggregate for all such final judgments or orders against all such Persons (treating any deductibles, self-insurance or retention as not covered by insurance):

    shall be rendered against FelCor LP or FelCor or any Significant Subsidiary and shall not be paid or discharged, and

    there shall be any period of 60 consecutive days following entry of the final judgment or order that causes the aggregate amount for all such final judgments or orders outstanding and not paid or discharged against all such Persons to exceed $10 million during which a stay of enforcement of such final judgment or order, by reason of a pending appeal or otherwise, shall not be in effect;

     (7) a court having jurisdiction in the premises enters a decree or order for:

    relief in respect of FelCor LP or FelCor or any Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect,
 
    appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of FelCor LP or FelCor or any Significant Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of the property and assets of FelCor LP or FelCor or any Significant Subsidiary, or
 
    the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of FelCor LP or FelCor or any Significant Subsidiary and, in each case, such decree or order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or

     (8) FelCor LP or FelCor or any Significant Subsidiary:

    commences a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or consents to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under such law,
 
    consents to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of FelCor LP or FelCor or Significant Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of the property and assets of FelCor LP or FelCor or any Significant Subsidiary,
 
    effects any general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or

     (9) any Note Guarantee ceases to be in full force and effect (other than in accordance with the terms of such Note Guarantee and the indenture) or any Guarantor notifies the trustee in writing that it denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Note Guarantee.

Table of Contents

     If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (7) or (8) above that occurs with respect to FelCor LP or FelCor) occurs and is continuing under the indenture, the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the notes then outstanding, by written notice to FelCor LP and FelCor (and to the trustee if such notice is given by the holders), may, and the trustee at the request of the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the notes then outstanding shall, declare the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on the notes to be immediately due and payable. Upon a declaration of acceleration, such principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest shall be immediately due and payable. In the event of a declaration of acceleration because an Event of Default set forth in clause (5) above has occurred and is continuing, such declaration of acceleration shall be automatically rescinded and annulled if the event of default triggering such Event of Default pursuant to clause (5) shall be remedied or cured by FelCor LP, FelCor or the relevant Significant Subsidiary or waived by the holders of the relevant Indebtedness within 60 days after the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto.

     If an Event or Default specified in clause (7) or (8) above occurs with respect to FelCor LP or FelCor, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on the notes then outstanding shall automatically become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the trustee or any holder. The holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding notes by written notice to FelCor LP, FelCor and to the trustee, may waive all past defaults and rescind and annul a declaration of acceleration and its consequences if:

    all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the notes that have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived, and
 
    the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction.

     As to the waiver of defaults, see “—Modification and Waiver.”

     The holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee. However, the trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the indenture, that may involve the trustee in personal liability, or that the trustee determines in good faith may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of holders of notes not joining in the giving of such direction and may take any other action it deems proper that is not inconsistent with any such direction received from holders of notes. A holder may not pursue any remedy with respect to the indenture or the notes unless:

     (1) the holder gives the trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;

     (2) the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding notes make a written request to the trustee to pursue the remedy;

     (3) such holder or holders offer the trustee indemnity satisfactory to the trustee against any costs, liability or expense;

     (4) the trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity; and

     (5) during such 60-day period, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes do not give the trustee a direction that is inconsistent with the request.

     However, such limitations do not apply to the right of any holder of a note to receive payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, such note or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the due date expressed in the notes, which right shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the holder.

     The indenture requires certain officers of FelCor LP and FelCor to certify, on or before a date not more than 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, that a review has been conducted of the activities of FelCor LP and FelCor and their respective Restricted Subsidiaries and of their performance under the indenture and that FelCor LP and FelCor have fulfilled all obligations thereunder, or, if there has been a default in fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default and the nature and status thereof. FelCor LP and FelCor will also be obligated to notify the trustee of any default or defaults in the performance of any covenants or agreements under the indenture.

Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets

     Neither FelCor LP nor FelCor will merge with or into, or sell, convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property and assets (as an entirety or substantially an entirety in one transaction or a series of related transactions) to, any Person or permit any Person to merge with or into FelCor LP or FelCor unless:

     (1) FelCor LP or FelCor shall be the continuing Person, or the Person (if other than FelCor LP or FelCor) formed by such consolidation or into which FelCor LP or FelCor is merged or that acquired or leased such property and assets of FelCor LP or FelCor shall be an entity organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America or any state or jurisdiction thereof and shall expressly assume, by a supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the trustee, all of the obligations of FelCor LP or FelCor on the notes and under the indenture;

     (2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

     (3) immediately after giving effect to such transaction on a pro forma basis FelCor LP or FelCor, or any Person becoming the successor obligor of the notes, as the case may be, could Incur at least $1.00 of Indebtedness under paragraphs (1), (2) and (3) of the “Limitation on Indebtedness” covenant; provided that this clause (3) shall not apply to a consolidation or merger with or into a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary with a positive net worth; provided that, in connection with any such merger or consolidation, no consideration (other than Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) in the surviving Person or FelCor LP or FelCor) shall be issued or distributed to the holders of Capital Stock of FelCor LP or FelCor; and

     (4) FelCor LP or FelCor delivers to the trustee an Officers’ Certificate (attaching the arithmetic computations to demonstrate compliance with clause (3)) and an Opinion of Counsel, in each case stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indenture complies with this provision and that all conditions precedent provided for herein relating to such transaction have been complied with; provided that clause (3) above does not apply if, in the good faith determination of the Board of Directors of FelCor LP or FelCor, whose determination shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution, the principal purpose of such transaction is to change the state of domicile of FelCor LP or FelCor; and provided, further, that any such transaction shall not have as one of its purposes the evasion of the foregoing limitations.

Defeasance

     Defeasance and Discharge. The indenture provides that FelCor LP, FelCor and the Subsidiary Guarantors will be deemed to have paid and will be discharged from any and all obligations in respect of the notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee on the 123rd day after the deposit referred to below, and the provisions of the indenture will no longer be in effect with respect to the notes (except for, among other things: certain obligations to register the transfer or exchange of the notes; to replace stolen, lost or mutilated notes; to maintain paying agencies and to hold monies for payment in trust) if, among other things:

     (1) FelCor LP has deposited with the trustee, in trust, money and/or U.S. Government Obligations that through the payment of interest and principal in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide money in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on the notes on the Stated Maturity of such payments in accordance with the terms of the indenture and the notes;

     (2) FelCor LP has delivered to the trustee:

     (A) either

    an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of FelCor LP’s exercise of its option under this “Defeasance” provision and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit, defeasance and discharge had not occurred, which Opinion of Counsel must be based upon (and accompanied by a copy of) a ruling of the Internal Revenue Service to the same effect unless there has been a change in applicable federal income tax law after the Closing Date such that a ruling is no longer required, or
 
    a ruling directed to the trustee received from the Internal Revenue Service to the same effect as the aforementioned Opinion of Counsel, and

80


Table of Contents

     (B) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the creation of the defeasance trust does not violate the Investment Company Act of 1940 and after the passage of 123 days following the deposit, the trust fund will not be subject to the effect of Section 547 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or Section 15 of the New York Debtor and Creditor Law;

     (3) immediately after giving effect to such deposit on a pro forma basis, no Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or during the period ending on the 123rd day after the date of such deposit, and such deposit shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other agreement or instrument to which FelCor LP, FelCor or any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries is a party or by which FelCor LP, FelCor or any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries are bound; and

     (4) if at such time the notes are listed on a national securities exchange, FelCor LP has delivered to the trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the notes will not be delisted as a result of such deposit, defeasance and discharge.

     Defeasance of Certain Covenants and Certain Events of Default. The indenture further will provide that the provisions of the indenture will no longer be in effect with respect to clause (3) under “Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets” and all the covenants described herein under “Covenants,” clause (3) under “Events of Default” with respect to such clause (3) under “Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets,” clause (4) under “Events of Default” with respect to such other covenants and clauses (5) and (6) under “Events of Default” shall be deemed not to be Events of Default upon, among other things:

     (1) the deposit with the trustee, in trust, of money and/or U.S. Government Obligations that through the payment of interest and principal in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide money in an amount sufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on the notes on the Stated Maturity of such payments in accordance with the terms of the indenture and the notes;

     (2) the satisfaction of the provisions described in clauses (2)(B), (3) and (4) of the preceding paragraph titled “Defeasance and Discharge;” and

     (3) the delivery by FelCor LP to the trustee of an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that, among other things, the holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and defeasance of certain covenants and Events of Default and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit and defeasance had not occurred.

     Defeasance and Certain Other Events of Default. In the event FelCor LP exercises its option to omit compliance with certain covenants and provisions of the indenture with respect to the notes as described in the immediately preceding paragraph and the notes are declared due and payable because of the occurrence of an Event of Default that remains applicable, the amount of money and/or U.S. Government Obligations on deposit with the trustee will be sufficient to pay amounts due on the notes at the time of their Stated Maturity but may not be sufficient to pay amounts due on the notes at the time of the acceleration resulting from such Event of Default. However, FelCor LP, FelCor and the Subsidiary Guarantors will remain liable for such payments.

Modification and Waiver

     Subject to certain limited exceptions, modifications and amendments of the indenture may be made by FelCor LP, FelCor and the trustee with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes; provided that no such modification or amendment may, without the consent of each holder affected thereby:

     (1) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment of interest on, any note,

     (2) reduce the principal amount of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any note,

     (3) change the place of payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any note,

     (4) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or after the Stated Maturity (or, in the case of a redemption, on or after the Redemption Date) of any note,

     (5) reduce the above-stated percentages of outstanding notes the consent of whose holders is necessary to modify or amend the indenture,

81


Table of Contents

     (6) waive a default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the notes,

     (7) voluntarily release a Guarantor of the notes, or

     (8) reduce the percentage or aggregate principal amount of outstanding notes the consent of whose holders is necessary for waiver of compliance with certain provisions of the indenture or for waiver of certain defaults.

No Personal Liability of Incorporators, Partners, Stockholders, Officers, Directors, or Employees

     The indenture provides that no recourse for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any of the notes or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of FelCor LP or FelCor in the indenture, or in any of the notes or because of the creation of any Indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, partner, stockholder, officer, director, employee or controlling person of FelCor LP, FelCor or the Subsidiary Guarantors or of any successor Person thereof. Each holder, by accepting the notes, waives and releases all such liability.

Concerning the Trustee

     The indenture provides that, except during the continuance of a Default, the trustee will not be liable, except for the performance of such duties as are specifically set forth in the indenture. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the trustee will use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise of the rights and powers vested in it under the indenture as a prudent person would exercise under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

     The indenture and provisions of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 incorporated by reference into the indenture contain limitations on the rights of the trustee, should it become a creditor of FelCor LP or FelCor, to obtain payment of claims in certain cases or to realize on certain property received by it in respect of any such claims, as security or otherwise. The trustee is permitted to engage in other transactions; provided that if it acquires any conflicting interest, it must eliminate such conflict or resign.

Book Entry; Delivery and Form

     The certificates representing the new notes will be issued in fully registered form without interest coupons. Old notes sold in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act are represented by one or more permanent global notes in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons (each a “Old Regulation S Global Note”) and were deposited with the trustee as custodian for, and registered in the name of a nominee of, DTC for the accounts of Euroclear and Clearstream Banking Société Anonymé, formerly Cedel Bank (“Clearstream Luxembourg”). Old notes sold in reliance on Rule 144A are represented by one or more permanent global notes in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons (each a “Old 144A Global Note,” and together with the Old Regulation S Global Note, the “Old Global Notes”) and were deposited with the trustee as custodian for, and registered in the name of a nominee of, DTC. The new notes issued in the exchange for the Old Global Notes will be issued in the form of one or more New Global Notes and will be deposited with the trustee as custodian for, and registered in the name of a nominee of, DTC.

     Old notes originally purchased by, or transferred to, Institutional Accredited Investors who are not qualified institutional buyers (“Non-Global Purchasers”) were in registered form without interest coupons (“Old Certificated Notes”). The new notes issued in exchange for the Old Certificated Notes will be issued in the form of one or more New Certificate Notes.

     Ownership of beneficial interests in a Global Note will be limited to persons who have accounts with DTC (“participants”) or persons who hold interests through participants. Ownership of beneficial interests in a Global Note will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC or its nominee (with respect to interests of participants) and the records of participants (with respect to interests of persons other than participants). Qualified institutional buyers may hold their interests in a Global Note directly through DTC if they are participants in such system, or indirectly through organizations that are participants in such system.

     So long as DTC, or its nominee, is the registered owner or holder of a Global Note, DTC or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the notes represented by such Global Note for all purposes under the indenture and the notes. No beneficial owner of an interest in a Global Note will be able to transfer that interest except in accordance with DTC’s applicable procedures, in addition to those provided for under the indenture and, if applicable, those of Euroclear and Clearstream Luxembourg.

Table of Contents

     Payments of the principal of, and interest on, a Global Note will be made to DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner thereof. Neither FelCor LP, FelCor, any Subsidiary Guarantor, the trustee nor any Paying Agent will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests in a Global Note or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

     FelCor LP expects that DTC or its nominee, upon receipt of any payment of principal or interest in respect of a Global Note, will credit participants’ accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of such Global Note as shown on the records of DTC or its nominee. FelCor LP also expects that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in such Global Note held through such participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers registered in the names of nominees for such customers. Such payments will be the responsibility of such participants.

     Transfers between participants in DTC will be effected in the ordinary way in accordance with DTC rules and will be settled in same-day funds.

     FelCor LP expects that DTC will take any action permitted to be taken by a holder of notes (including the presentation of notes for exchange as described below) only at the direction of one or more participants to whose account the DTC interests in a Global Note are credited and only in respect of such portion of the aggregate principal amount of notes as to which such participant or participants has or have given such direction. However, if there is an Event of Default under the notes, DTC will exchange the applicable Global Note for Certificated Notes, which it will distribute to its participants and which may be legended as set forth under the heading “Notice to Investors.”

     FelCor LP understands that: DTC, the world’s largest depository, is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 2 million issues of U.S. and non-U.S. equity, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instrument from over 85 countries that DTC’s participants (“direct participants”) deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among direct participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between direct participants’ accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (“DTCC”). DTCC, in turn, is owned by a number of direct participants of DTC and Members of the National Securities Clearing Corporation Government Securities Clearing Corporation, MBS Clearing Corporation, and Emerging Markets Clearing Corporation (NSCC, GSCC, MBSCC, and EMCC, also subsidiaries of DTCC), as well as by the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the American Stock Exchange LLC, and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a direct participant, either directly or indirectly (“indirect participants”). DTC has Standard & Poor’s highest rating: AAA. The DTC Rules applicable to its participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com.

     Although DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream Luxembourg are expected to follow the foregoing procedures in order to facilitate transfers of interests in a Global Note among participants of DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream Luxembourg, they are under no obligation to perform or continue to perform such procedures, and such procedures may be discontinued at any time. Neither FelCor LP, FelCor, any Subsidiary Guarantor, nor the trustee will have any responsibility for the performance by DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream Luxembourg or their respective participants or indirect participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations.

     If DTC is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as a depositary for the Global Notes and a successor depositary is not appointed by FelCor LP within 90 days, FelCor LP will issue Certificated Notes, which, in the case of Old Global Notes, may bear a legend with respect to the restrictions on transfer thereof, in exchange for the Global Notes. Holders of an interest in a Global Note may receive Certificated Notes, which, in the case of Old Global Notes, may bear a legend with respect to the restrictions on transfer thereof, in accordance with the DTC’s rules and procedures in addition to those provided for under the indenture.

UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

     The following general discussion summarizes the material United States federal income tax aspects of the exchange offer to holders of the old notes, and the material United States federal income tax aspects of the ownership and disposition of the new notes by the holders. This discussion is for general information only and does not consider all aspects of the exchange offer that might impact owners of the old notes in light of their personal circumstances. This discussion is addressed only to holders who purchased the old notes upon their initial issuance at the notes’ initial offering price and deals only with notes held as “capital assets” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. “Capital assets” are generally property held for investment and not for sale to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business. This discussion also does not address the United States federal income tax consequences to holders subject to special treatment under the United States federal income tax laws, such as dealers in securities, commodities, or foreign currency, tax-exempt entities, banks, thrifts, financial institutions, insurance companies, pension or other employee benefit plans, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, United States expatriates, traders in securities that elect to use the mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities holdings, persons deemed to sell the notes under the constructive sale provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, persons that hold the old notes as part of a “straddle,” a “hedge” against currency risk or a “conversion transaction,” persons that have a “functional currency” other than the United States dollar, holders subject to the alternative minimum tax, and investors in partnerships or other pass-through entities. If a partnership (including any entity treated as a partnership for United States tax purposes) is a beneficial owner of the notes, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend upon the status and activities of the partner and the status and activities of the partnership. If you are a partner of a partnership holding our notes, you should consult your tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of the notes. In addition, this discussion does not address any tax consequences arising out of the tax laws of any state, local or foreign jurisdiction.

     This discussion is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, existing and proposed regulations thereunder, Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, rulings and pronouncements, reports of congressional committees, judicial decisions and current administrative rulings and practice, all as in effect on the date hereof, all of which are subject to change at any time, and any such change may be applied retroactively in a manner that could adversely affect the tax consequences described below. We have not sought, and will not seek, any rulings or opinions from the IRS or counsel with respect to the matters discussed below. There can be no assurance that the IRS will not take positions concerning the tax consequences of the exchange offer that are different from those discussed in this prospectus.

     In certain circumstances, we may be obligated to pay you amounts in excess of the stated interest and principal payable on the notes. The obligation to make such payments, including additional interest and redemption premiums payable in certain circumstances, may implicate the provisions of Treasury regulations relating to “contingent payment debt instruments.” If the new notes were deemed to be contingent payment debt instruments, holders might, among other things, be required to treat any gain recognized on the sale or other disposition of a new note as ordinary income rather than as capital gain, and the timing and amount of income inclusion could be different from the consequences discussed herein. We intend to take the position that the likelihood that such payments will be made is remote and/or that such payments are incidental and, therefore, the new notes are not subject to the rules governing contingent payment debt instruments. This determination will be binding on a holder unless such holder explicitly discloses on a statement attached to such holder’s timely filed United States Federal income tax return for the taxable year that includes the acquisition date of the new note that such holder’s determination is different. It is possible, however, that the IRS may take a contrary position from that described above, in which case the tax consequences to a holder could differ materially and adversely from those described below. The remainder of this disclosure assumes that the new notes will not be treated as contingent payment debt instruments.

     THIS SUMMARY OF CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS IS FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY AND IS NOT TAX ADVICE. YOU ARE URGED TO CONSULT WITH YOUR TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE APPLICATION OF UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, AS WELL AS ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES ARISING UNDER THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL ESTATE OR GIFT TAX RULES OR UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCAL, FOREIGN OR OTHER TAXING JURISDICTION OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE TAX TREATY.

Exchange Offer

     The exchange of old notes for new notes pursuant to the exchange offer should not constitute a taxable exchange. As a result, a holder (1) should not recognize taxable gain or loss as a result of exchanging old notes for new notes pursuant to the exchange offer, (2) the holding period of the new notes should include the holding period of the old notes exchanged for the new notes and (3) the

adjusted tax basis of the new notes should be the same as the adjusted tax basis of the old notes exchanged for the new notes immediately before the exchange.

Taxation of United States Holders After the Exchange

     The following is a summary of certain material United States federal tax aspects of the ownership and disposition of the notes that will apply to you if you are a United States holder of the new notes after the exchange. Certain United States federal income tax aspects of the ownership and disposition of notes to “Non-United States holders” of the notes after the exchange are described under “—Taxation of Non-United States Holders After the Exchange” below. “United States holder” means a beneficial owner of a note that is for federal income tax purposes:

    a citizen or resident of the United States;
 
    a corporation created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision of the United States;
 
    an estate the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source; or
 
    a trust that (1) is subject to the supervision of a court within the United States and the control of one or more United States persons or (2) has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a United States person.

     Payments of Interest

     The notes should constitute “variable rate debt instruments” and the interest payments on the notes should be considered “qualified stated interest” under Section 1.1275-5 of the Treasury Regulations. Therefore, stated interest on the notes will generally be taxable to you as ordinary income at the time it is paid or accrues in accordance with your method of accounting for tax purposes.

     Disposition of Notes

     Upon the sale, exchange, redemption or other disposition of a note, you generally will recognize taxable gain or loss equal to the difference between (i) the sum of cash plus the fair market value of all other property received on such disposition (except to the extent such cash or property is attributable to accrued but unpaid interest, which is treated as interest as described above) and (ii) your adjusted tax basis in the note. A United States holder’s adjusted tax basis in a note generally will equal the cost of the note to such holder.

     Gain or loss recognized on the disposition of a note generally will be capital gain or loss, and will be long-term capital gain or loss if, at the time of such disposition, the United States holder’s holding period for the note is more than 12 months. For United States holders other than corporations, preferential tax rates may apply to such long-term capital gain. The deductibility of capital losses by United States holders is subject to limitations.

     Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

     In general, information reporting requirements will apply to certain payments of principal and interest on and the proceeds of certain sales of notes unless you are an exempt recipient. A backup withholding tax will apply to such payments if you fail to provide your taxpayer identification number or certification of exempt status or have been notified by the Internal Revenue Service that payments to you are subject to backup withholding.

     Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will generally be allowable as a refund or a credit against your United States federal income tax liability provided the required information is properly furnished to the Internal Revenue Service on a timely basis.

Taxation of Non-United States Holders After the Exchange

     The following is a summary of certain material United States federal tax aspects of the ownership and disposition of notes that will apply to you if you are a non-United States holder of notes after the exchange. The term “non-United States holder” means a beneficial owner of a note that is, for United States federal income tax purposes, a nonresident alien or a foreign corporation, estate or trust that is not a United States holder.

85


Table of Contents

     Special rules may apply to certain non-United States holders such as “controlled foreign corporations,” “passive foreign investment companies” and “foreign personal holding companies.” Such entities should consult their own tax advisors to determine the United States federal, state, local and other tax consequences that may be relevant to them.

Payment of Interest

     The 30% United States federal withholding tax will not apply to any payment to you of interest on a note provided that:

    such interest is not effectively connected with your conduct of a United States trade or business;
 
    you do not actually or constructively own 10% or more of the capital or profits interest in FelCor LP within the meaning of section 871(h)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code;
 
    you are not a controlled foreign corporation that is related to FelCor LP;
 
    you are not a bank whose receipt of interest on a note is described in section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code; and
 
    (a) you provide your name and address, and certify, under penalties of perjury, that you are not a United States person (which certification may be made on an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN) or (b) a securities clearing organization, bank, or other financial institution that holds customers’ securities in the ordinary course of its business holds the note on your behalf certifies, to us or the paying agent, under penalties of perjury, that it has received Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN from you or from another qualifying financial institution intermediary, and provides a copy to us or the paying agent of such form. If the notes are held by or through certain foreign intermediaries or certain foreign partnerships, such foreign intermediaries or partnerships must also satisfy the certification requirements of applicable Treasury Regulations.

     If you cannot satisfy the requirements described above, payments of interest will be subject to the 30% United States federal withholding tax, unless you provide us with a properly executed (1) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming an exemption from or reduction in withholding under the benefit of an applicable tax treaty or (2) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI stating that interest paid on the note is not subject to withholding tax because it is effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States.

     If you are engaged in a trade or business in the United States and interest on a note is effectively connected with the conduct of that trade or business, you will be required to pay United States federal income tax on that interest on a net income basis (although exempt from the 30% withholding tax provided the certification requirement described above is met) in generally the same manner as if you were a United States holder, except as otherwise provided by an applicable tax treaty. In addition, if you are a foreign corporation, you may be subject to a branch profits tax equal to 30% (or lower applicable treaty rate) of your earnings and profits for the taxable year, subject to adjustments, that are effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States. For this purpose, interest will be included in the earnings and profits of such foreign corporation.

     Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Notes

     Any gain realized upon the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of a note (except with respect to accrued and unpaid interest, which would be taxable as described above) generally will not be subject to United States federal income tax unless:

    that gain is effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States; or
 
    you are an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of that disposition, and certain other conditions are met.

     A holder described in the first bullet point above will be required to pay United States federal income tax on the net gain derived from the sale, except as otherwise required by an applicable tax treaty, and if such holder is a foreign corporation, it may also be required to pay a branch profits tax at a 30% rate or a lower rate if so specified by an applicable income tax treaty. A holder described in the second bullet point above will be subject to a 30% United States federal income tax on the gain derived from the sale, which may be offset by United States source capital losses, even though the holder is not considered a resident of the United States.

86


Table of Contents

     Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

     The amount of interest paid to you on the note and the amount of tax withheld, if any, will generally be reported to you and the Internal Revenue Service. Under the provisions of certain United States income tax treaties and other applicable agreements, copies of these information returns may be available to the tax authorities of the country in which you reside. You will generally not be subject to backup withholding with respect to interest payments that we make to you provided that you have made appropriate certifications as to your foreign status, or you otherwise establish an exemption.

     You will generally not be subject to backup withholding or information reporting with respect to any payment of principal or the proceeds of the sale of a note effected outside the United States by a foreign office of a foreign “broker” (as defined in applicable Treasury Regulation), provided that such broker:

    derives less than 50% of its gross income for certain periods from the conduct of a trade or business in the United States,
 
    is not a controlled foreign corporation for United States federal income tax purposes, and
 
    is not a foreign partnership that, at any time during its taxable year, has 50% or more of its income or capital interests owned by United States persons or is engaged in the conduct of a United States trade or business.

     You will be subject to information reporting, but not backup withholding, with respect to any payment of principal or the proceeds of a sale of a note effected outside the United States by a foreign office of any other broker unless such broker has documentary evidence in its records that you are not a United States person and certain other conditions are met, or you otherwise establish an exemption. You will be subject to backup withholding and information reporting with respect to any payment of principal or the proceeds of a sale of a note effected by the United States office of a broker unless you properly certify under penalties of perjury as to your foreign status and certain other conditions are met or you otherwise establish an exemption.

     Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowable as a refund or a credit against your United States federal income tax liability provided the required information is properly furnished to the Internal Revenue Service on a timely basis.

     THE FEDERAL TAX DISCUSSION SET FORTH ABOVE IS INCLUDED FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY AND MAY NOT BE APPLICABLE DEPENDING UPON A HOLDER’S PARTICULAR SITUATION. HOLDERS OF NOTES ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE APPLICATION OF THE TAX CONSIDERATIONS DISCUSSED ABOVE IN LIGHT OF THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS, AS WELL AS THE APPLICATION OF ANY STATE, LOCAL, FOREIGN AND OTHER TAX LAWS, INCLUDING THE EFFECTS OF CHANGES IN SUCH LAWS.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

     We are not utilizing any underwriters for this exchange offer.

     Each broker-dealer that receives new notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of the new notes. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of new notes received in exchange for old notes where the old notes were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. We have agreed that, starting on the expiration date and ending 180 days after the expiration date, we will make this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale.

     We will not receive any proceeds from any sales of new notes by broker-dealers. New notes received by broker-dealers for their own account pursuant to the exchange offer may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the new notes or a combination of the methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or negotiated prices. Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer and/or the purchasers of any such new notes. Any broker-dealer that resells new notes that were received by it for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of these new notes may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and any profit of any such resale of new notes and any commissions or concessions received by such persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The letter of transmittal states that by acknowledging that it will deliver, and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be

87


Table of Contents

deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act.

     We have agreed to pay all expenses incident to our performance of, or compliance with, the registration rights agreement and will indemnify the holders of old notes, including any broker-dealers, and specified parties related to these holders, against specified liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

LEGAL MATTERS

     Certain legal matters with respect to the legality of the new notes will be passed upon for FelCor and FelCor LP by Jenkens & Gilchrist, a Professional Corporation, Dallas, Texas.

EXPERTS

     The financial statements of FelCor and FelCor LP for the three years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001 incorporated in this prospectus by reference to the Current Reports on Form 8-K of FelCor and FelCor LP, each dated July 22, 2004, have been so incorporated in reliance on the reports of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, given on the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 20. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

     Section 6.7 of the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of FelCor Lodging Limited Partnership (“FelCor LP”), as amended (the “Partnership Agreement”), provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, but subject to the limitations expressly provided in the Partnership Agreement, FelCor Lodging Trust Incorporated (“FelCor”), or its successor or assigns, in its capacity as the general partner of FelCor LP (the “General Partner”), and any person who is or was an officer or director of the General Partner shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Partnership from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (joint or several), expenses (including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil or criminal, administrative or investigative, in which any such party may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of its status as (i) the General Partner, or any of its affiliates, (ii) an officer, director, employee, partner, agent or trustee of the General Partner, or any of its affiliates or (iii) a person serving at the request of the Partnership in another entity in a similar capacity; provided, that in each case such party acted in good faith, in a manner which such party believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Partnership and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe its conduct was unlawful. Any indemnification pursuant to Section 6.7 shall be made only out of the Partnership assets.

     The charter of FelCor, generally, limits the liability of FelCor’s directors and officers to FelCor and the shareholders for money damages to the fullest extent permitted, from time to time, by the laws of the State of Maryland. The Maryland General Corporation Law (“MGCL”) authorizes Maryland corporations to limit the liability of directors and officers to the corporation and its stockholders for money damages except (i) to the extent that it is proved that the director or officer actually received an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services, for the amount of the benefit or profit actually received or (ii) to the extent that a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the director or officer is entered in a proceeding based on a finding in the proceeding that the director’s or officer’s action, or failure to act, was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and was material to the cause of action adjudicated in the proceeding.

     The charter also provides, generally, for the indemnification of, and advance of expense on behalf of, directors and officers, among others, to the fullest extent permitted by Maryland law. The MGCL authorizes Maryland corporations to indemnify present and past directors and officers of the corporation or of another corporation for which they serve at the request of the corporation against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually incurred in connection with any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation in respect of which the person is adjudicated to be liable to the corporation), in which they are made parties by reason of being or having been directors or officers, unless it is proved that (i) the act or omission of the person was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (ii) the person actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services or (iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the person had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. The MGCL also provides that, unless limited by the corporation’s charter, a corporation shall indemnify present and past directors and officers of the corporation who are successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, against reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with the proceeding. FelCor’s charter does not limit the extent of this indemnity.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (“Securities Act”) may be permitted to directors and officers of FelCor pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, FelCor has been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable.

     FelCor may purchase director and officer liability insurance for the purpose of providing a source of funds to pay any indemnification described above. The MGCL authorizes Maryland corporations to purchase and maintain insurance for former or existing directors or officers of the corporation against any liability assisted against and incurred by such person in that capacity or arising out of such person’s position, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify against liability under the MGCL. FelCor’s charter does not limit this authority to obtain insurance.

Item 22. Undertakings

     (a) The undersigned Registrants hereby undertake that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrants’ annual reports pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     (b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

     (c) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the Prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means.

     The Notes shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons and only in denominations of $1,000 in principal amount at maturity and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

     SECTION 2.04. Registrar and Paying Agent.

FelCor LP shall cause the Registrar to keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange (the “Note Register”). FelCor LP may have one or more co-Registrars and one or more additional Paying Agents.

     FelCor LP shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Agent not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent. FelCor LP shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the name and address of any such Agent and any change in the address of such Agent. If FelCor LP fails to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent and/or agent for service of notices and demands, the Trustee shall act as such Registrar, Paying Agent and/or agent for service of notices and demands. FelCor LP may remove any Agent upon written notice to such Agent and the Trustee; provided that no such removal shall become effective until (i) the acceptance of an appointment by a successor Agent to such Agent as evidenced by an appropriate agency agreement entered into by FelCor LP and such successor Agent and delivered to the Trustee or (ii) notification to the Trustee that the Trustee shall serve as such Agent until the appointment of a successor Agent in accordance with clause (i) of this proviso.

     FelCor LP initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar, Paying Agent, authenticating agent and agent for service of notice and demands. If, at any time, the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Registrar shall make available to the Trustee on or before each Interest Payment Date and at such other times as the Trustee may reasonably request, the names and addresses of the Holders as they appear in the Note Register.

     SECTION 2.05. Paying Agent To Hold Money in Trust. Not later than each due date of the principal, premium, if any, and interest on any Notes, FelCor LP shall deposit with the Paying Agent money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay such principal, premium, if any, and interest so becoming due; provided that if the Trustee is then serving as Paying Agent, FelCor LP agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to deposit or otherwise transfer such funds to the Trustee by no later than 11:00 a.m., Atlanta, Georgia time, on the applicable due date. FelCor LP shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that such Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes (whether such money has been paid to it by FelCor LP or any other obligor on the Notes), and such Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Trustee of any default by FelCor LP (or any other obligor on the Notes) in making any such payment. FelCor LP at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and account for any funds disbursed, and the Trustee may at any time during the continuance of any payment default, upon written request to a Paying Agent, require such Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds disbursed. Upon doing so, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money so paid over to the Trustee. If FelCor, FelCor LP or any Subsidiary of FelCor or FelCor LP or any Affiliate of any of them acts as Paying Agent, it will, on or before each due date of any principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders a sum of money sufficient to pay such principal, premium, if any, or interest so becoming due until such sum of money shall be paid to such Holders or otherwise disposed of as provided in this Indenture, and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure to act.

Register. Prior to the registration of any transfer by a Holder as provided herein, FelCor LP, the Guarantors, the Trustee, and any agent of FelCor LP shall treat the person in whose name the Note is registered as the owner thereof for all purposes whether or not the Note shall be overdue, and neither FelCor LP, the Guarantors, the Trustee, nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

When Notes are presented to the Registrar or a co-Registrar with a request to register the transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations (including an exchange of Notes for Exchange Notes), the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its requirements for such transactions are met; provided that no exchanges of Notes for Exchange Notes shall occur until a Registration Statement shall have been declared effective by the Commission and that any Notes that are exchanged for Exchange Notes shall be cancelled by the Trustee. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, FelCor LP shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate Notes at the Registrar’s request. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange or redemption of the Notes, but FelCor LP may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such transfer taxes or other similar governmental charge payable upon exchanges pursuant to Section 2.11, 3.08 or 9.04).

     The Registrar shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Note during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Notes selected for redemption under Section 3.03 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.

     Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under the Global Note, and the Depositary may be treated by FelCor LP, the Guarantors, the Trustee and any agent of FelCor LP, the Guarantors, or the Trustee as the absolute owner of such Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent FelCor LP, the Guarantors, the Trustee or any agent of FelCor LP, the Guarantors, or the Trustee, from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Note.

     (b) Transfers of a Global Note shall be limited to transfers of such Global Note in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees. Interests of beneficial owners in a Global Note may be transferred in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depositary and the provisions of Section 2.08. In addition, U.S. Physical Notes and Offshore Physical Notes shall be transferred to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in the U.S. Global Note or the Offshore Global Note, respectively, if (i) the Depositary notifies FelCor LP that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the U.S. Global Note or the Offshore Global Note, as the case may be, and a successor depositary is not appointed by FelCor LP within 90 days of such notice, (ii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Registrar has received a request therefor from the Depositary or (iii) in accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depositary and the provisions of Section 2.08.

     (c) Any beneficial interest in one of the Global Notes that is transferred to a person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in the other Global Note will, upon transfer, cease to be an interest in such Global Note and become an interest in the other Global Note and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all transfer restric-

     (f) Private Placement Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes not bearing the Private Placement Legend, the Registrar shall deliver Notes that do not bear the Private Placement Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Notes bearing the Private Placement Legend, the Registrar shall deliver only Notes that bear the Private Placement Legend unless either (i) the circumstances contemplated by the second sentence of the fourth paragraph of Section 2.01 or paragraph (a)(i)(x) or (e)(ii) of this Section 2.08 exist or (ii) there is delivered to the Registrar an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to FelCor and FelCor LP and the Trustee to the effect that neither such legend nor the related restrictions on transfer are required in order to maintain compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act.

     (g) General. By its acceptance of any Note bearing the Private Placement Legend, each Holder of such a Note acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of such Note set forth in this Indenture and in the Private Placement Legend and agrees that it will transfer such Note only as provided in this Indenture. The Registrar shall not register a transfer of any Note unless such transfer complies with the restrictions on transfer of such Note set forth in this Indenture. In connection with any transfer of Notes, each Holder agrees by its acceptance of the Notes to furnish the Registrar or FelCor LP such certifications, legal opinions or other information as either of them may reasonably require to confirm that such transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act; provided that the Registrar shall not be required to determine (but may rely on a determination made by FelCor LP with respect to) the sufficiency of any such certifications, legal opinions or other information.

     The Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications received pursuant to Section 2.07 or this Section 2.08. FelCor LP shall have the right to inspect and make copies of all such letters, notices or other written communications at any reasonable time upon the giving of reasonable written notice to the Registrar.

     SECTION 2.09. Replacement Notes.

If required by the Trustee or FelCor LP, an indemnity bond must be furnished that is sufficient in the judgment of both the Trustee and FelCor LP to protect FelCor LP, the Guarantors, the Trustee or any Agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. FelCor LP

-27-


Table of Contents

may charge such Holder for its expenses and the expenses of the Trustee in replacing a Note. In case any such mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Note has become or is about to become due and payable, FelCor LP in its discretion may pay such Note instead of issuing a new Note in replacement thereof.

     Every replacement Note is an additional obligation of FelCor LP and shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

     SECTION 2.10. Outstanding Notes. Notes outstanding at any time are all Notes that have been authenticated by the Trustee except for those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section 2.10 as not outstanding.

     If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.09, it ceases to be outstanding unless and until the Trustee and FelCor LP receive proof satisfactory to them that the replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser.

     If the Paying Agent (other than FelCor, FelCor LP or an Affiliate of FelCor or FelCor LP) holds on the maturity date money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes cease to be outstanding and interest on them shall cease to accrue.

     A Note does not cease to be outstanding because FelCor or FelCor LP or one of their Affiliates holds such Note; provided that, in determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of the outstanding Notes have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, Notes owned by FelCor, FelCor LP, the Guarantors or any other obligor upon the Notes or any Affiliate of FelCor LP or the Guarantors or of such other obligor shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding, except that, in determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, only Notes which the Trustee knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such Notes and that the pledgee is not FelCor LP or the Guarantors or any other obligor upon the Notes or any Affiliate of FelCor LP or the Guarantors or of such other obligor.

     SECTION 2.11. Temporary Notes. Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, FelCor LP may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have insertions, substitutions, omissions and other variations determined to be appropriate by the Officers executing the temporary Notes, as evidenced by their execution of such temporary Notes. If temporary Notes are issued, FelCor LP will cause definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or agency of FelCor LP designated for such purpose pursuant to Section 4.02, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes FelCor LP shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Notes of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Notes.

     SECTION 2.12. Cancellation. FelCor LP at any time may deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which FelCor LP may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated hereunder which FelCor LP has not issued and sold. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee shall cancel all Notes surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation in accordance with its normal procedure.

     SECTION 2.13. CUSIP Numbers. FelCor LP in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP,” “CINS” or “ISIN” numbers (if then generally in use), and the Trustee shall use CUSIP, CINS or ISIN numbers, as the case may be, in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice shall state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any

-28-


Table of Contents

notice of redemption or exchange and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes.

     SECTION 2.14. Defaulted Interest. If FelCor LP or the Guarantors default in a payment of interest on the Notes, FelCor LP or the Guarantors shall pay, or shall deposit with the Paying Agent money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay the defaulted interest, plus (to the extent lawful) any interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date. A special record date, as used in this Section 2.14 with respect to the payment of any defaulted interest, shall mean the 15th day next preceding the date fixed by FelCor LP for the payment of defaulted interest, whether or not such day is a Business Day. At least 15 days before the subsequent special record date, FelCor LP shall mail to each Holder and to the Trustee a notice that states the subsequent special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.

     SECTION 2.15. Issuance of Additional Notes. FelCor LP may, subject to compliance with Article Four of this Indenture, issue additional Notes under this Indenture. The Notes issued on the Closing Date and any additional Notes subsequently issued shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture.

be redeemed on a pro rata basis or on as nearly a pro rata basis as practicable (subject to the procedures of the Depositary) unless such method is otherwise prohibited.

     The Trustee shall make the selection from the Notes outstanding and not previously called for redemption. Notes in denominations of $1,000 in principal amount at maturity may only be redeemed in whole. The Trustee may select for redemption portions (equal to $1,000 in principal amount at maturity or any integral multiple thereof) of Notes that have denominations larger than $1,000 in principal amount at maturity. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption. The Trustee shall notify FelCor LP and the Registrar promptly in writing of the Notes or portions of Notes to be called for redemption.

     SECTION 3.04. Notice of Redemption. With respect to any redemption of Notes pursuant to Section 3.01, at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date, FelCor LP shall mail a notice of redemption by first class mail to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed.

          (iii) the name and address of the Paying Agent;

          (iv) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent in order to collect the Redemption Price;

          (v) that, unless FelCor LP defaults in making the redemption payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption Date and the only remaining right of the Holders is to receive payment of the Redemption Price plus accrued interest to the Redemption Date upon surrender of the Notes to the Paying Agent;

          (vi) that, if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount (equal to $1,000 in principal amount at maturity or any integral multiple thereof) of such Note to be redeemed and that, on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount at maturity equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be reissued; and

          (vii) that, if any Note contains a CUSIP, CINS or ISIN number as provided in Section 2.13, no representation is being made as to the correctness of the CUSIP, CINS or ISIN number either as printed on the Notes or as contained in the notice of redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes.

     SECTION 3.06. Deposit of Redemption Price. On or prior to any Redemption Date, FelCor LP shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if FelCor LP is acting as its own Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 2.05) money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of and accrued interest on all Notes to be redeemed on that date other than Notes or portions thereof called for redemption on that date that have been delivered by FelCor LP to the Trustee for cancellation.

If notice of redemption has been given in the manner provided above, the Notes or portion of Notes specified in such notice to be redeemed shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date at the Redemption Price stated therein, together with accrued interest to such Redemption Date, and on and after such date (unless FelCor LP shall default in the payment of such Notes at the Redemption Price and accrued interest to the Redemption Date, in which case the principal, until paid, shall bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed in the Notes), such Notes shall cease to accrue interest. Upon surrender of any Note for redemption in accordance with a notice of redemption, such Note shall be paid and redeemed by FelCor LP at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date; provided that installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Date.

provided that any event which results in any such Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary or any subsequent transfer of such Indebtedness (other than to FelCor LP or FelCor or any other Restricted Subsidiary) shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute an Incurrence of such Indebtedness not permitted by this clause (ii);

     SECTION 6.14. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

     SECTION 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity. FelCor LP shall pay to the Trustee such compensation as shall be agreed upon in writing for its services. The compensation of the Trustee shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. FelCor LP shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and advances incurred or made by the Trustee. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.

     FelCor LP shall indemnify the Trustee and its officers, directors, employees and agents and save Trustee and its officers, directors, employees and agents harmless from and against any and all Claims (as hereinafter defined) and Losses (as hereinafter defined) which may be incurred by Trustee or any of such officers, directors, employees or agents as a result of Claims asserted against Trustee or any of such officers, directors, employees or agents as a result of or in connection with Trustee’s capacity as such under this Indenture by any person or entity. For the purposes hereof, the term “Claims” shall mean all claims, lawsuits, causes of action or other legal actions and proceedings of whatever nature brought against (whether by way of direct action, counterclaim, cross action or impleader) Trustee or any such officer, director, employee or agent, even if groundless, false or fraudulent, so long as the claim, lawsuit, cause of action or other legal action or proceeding is alleged or determined, directly or indirectly, to arise out of, result from, relate to or be based upon, in whole or in part: (a) the acts or omissions of FelCor LP or any Guarantor, (b) the appointment of Trustee as trustee under this Indenture, or (c) the performance by Trustee of its powers and duties under this Indenture; and the term “Losses” shall mean losses, costs, damages, expenses, judgments and liabilities of whatever nature (including but not limited to attorneys’, accountants’ and other professionals’ fees, litigation and court costs and expenses and amounts paid in settlement), directly or indirectly resulting from, arising out of or relating to one or more Claims.

FelCor LP hereby agrees that the indemnifications and protections afforded Trustee in this section shall survive the termination of this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no indemnification shall be available hereunder to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a non-appealable order that the Loss or Claim for which such indemnification is sought was directly caused by the negligence or bad faith of the Indemnified Party.

     To secure FelCor LP’s payment obligations in this Section 7.07, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee, except money or property held in trust to pay principal of, premium, if any, and interest on particular Notes.

If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation or national banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or national banking association without any further act shall be the successor Trustee with the same effect as if the successor Trustee had been named as the Trustee herein.

     (2) to comply with Section 4.07 or Article Five;

     (3) to comply with any requirements of the Commission in connection with the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA;

     (4) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor Trustee;

     (5) to secure or Guarantee the Notes; or

     (6) to make any change that, in the good faith opinion of the Board of Directors as evidenced by a Board Resolution, does not materially and adversely affect the rights of any Holder.

     SECTION 9.02. With Consent of Holders. Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 and without prior notice to the Holders, FelCor, FelCor LP and the Subsidiary Guarantors, when authorized by their Board of Directors (as evidenced by a Board Resolution), and the Trustee may amend this Indenture and the Notes with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the Notes then outstanding, and the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the Notes then outstanding by written notice to the Trustee may waive future compliance by FelCor or FelCor LP with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes.

     Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9.02, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver, including a waiver pursuant to Section 6.04, may not:

     (i) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment of interest on, any Note,

     (ii) reduce the principal amount of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any Note,

Table of Contents

     (viii) modify any of the provisions of this Section 9.02, except to increase any such percentage or to provide that certain other provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note affected thereby; or

     (ix) reduce the percentage or aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes the consent of whose Holders is necessary for waiver of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or for waiver of certain defaults.

     It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

     After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, FelCor LP shall mail to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. FelCor LP shall mail supplemental indentures to Holders upon request. Any failure of FelCor LP to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture or waiver.

     SECTION 9.03. Revocation and Effect of Consent. Until an amendment or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the Note of the consenting Holder, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to its Note or portion of its Note. Such revocation shall be effective only if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver shall become effective on receipt by the Trustee of written consents from the Holders of the requisite percentage in principal amount of the outstanding Notes.

     FelCor LP may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver. If a record date is fixed, then, notwithstanding the last two sentences of the immediately preceding paragraph, those persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies) and only those persons shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date.

     After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder unless it is of the type described in any of clauses (i) through (ix) of Section 9.02. In case of an amendment or waiver of the type described in clauses (i) through (ix) of Section 9.02, the amendment or waiver shall bind each Holder who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Note that evidences the same indebtedness as the Note of the consenting Holder.

     SECTION 9.04. Notation on or Exchange of Notes. If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee may require the Holder to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Note about the changed terms and return it to the Holder and the Trustee may place an appropriate notation on any Note thereafter authenticated. Alternatively, if FelCor LP or the Trustee so determines, FelCor LP in exchange for the Note shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Note that reflects the changed terms.

     SECTION 9.05. Trustee To Sign Amendments, Etc. The Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article Nine is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. Subject to the preceding sentence, the Trustee shall sign such amendment, supplement or waiver if the same does not adversely affect the rights of the Trustee. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, execute any such amendment, supplement or waiver that affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

ARTICLE XI

GUARANTEE OF THE NOTES

     SECTION 11.01. Guarantee. Subject to the provisions of this Article Eleven, each Guarantor, jointly and severally, hereby unconditionally guarantees to each Holder and to the Trustee on behalf of the Holders: (i) the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium if any, on and interest on the Notes, when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, the due and punctual payment of interest on the over due principal of and interest, if any, on the Notes, to the extent lawful, and the due and punctual performance of all other obligations of FelCor LP to the Holders or the Trustee, all in accordance with the terms of such Note and this Indenture and (ii) in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that the same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, at stated maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, filing of claims with a court in the event of merger or bankruptcy of FelCor LP, any right to require a proceeding first against FelCor LP, the benefit of discussion, protest or notice with respect to any such Note or the debt evidenced thereby and all demands whatsoever (except as specified above), and covenants that this Article Eleven will not be discharged as to any such Note except by payment in full of the principal thereof and interest thereon and as provided in Sections 8.01 and 8.02. The maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Six for the purposes of this Article Eleven. In the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article Eleven, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall become due and payable immediately by the Guarantor for the purpose of this Article Eleven. In addition, without limiting the foregoing provisions, upon the effectiveness of an acceleration under Article Six, the Trustee shall promptly make a demand for payment on the Notes under the Guarantees provided for in this Article Eleven.

     Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Holders against FelCor LP, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from FelCor LP, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence and the principal of, premium if any, and accrued interest on the Notes shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be deemed

-60-


Table of Contents

to have been paid to such Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Holders, and shall immediately be paid to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders to be credited and applied upon the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on the Notes. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the issuance of the Notes pursuant to this Indenture and that the waiver set forth in this paragraph is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

     The Guarantee set forth in this Section 11.01 shall not be valid or become obligatory for any purpose with respect to a Note until the certificate of authentication on such Note shall have been signed by or on behalf of the Trustee.

     Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article Eleven to the contrary, the parties acknowledge that FelCor Holdings Trust has been formed under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated as of July 31, 2002, and in accordance with the Declaration of Trust, none of the shareholders, trustees or officers of FelCor Holdings Trust shall be personally liable for such Guarantor’s obligations under this Article Eleven, and the Trustee shall look solely to the trust estate comprising FelCor Holdings Trust for the payment of any claim under such obligations or for the performance of such obligations.

     SECTION 11.02. Obligations of Guarantor Unconditional. Nothing contained in this Article Eleven or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Notes is intended to or shall impair, as among each Guarantor and the Holders of the Notes, the obligation of each Guarantor, which is absolute and unconditional, upon failure by FelCor LP, to pay to the Holders of the Notes and principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the Holders of the Notes and creditors of each Guarantor, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the Holder of any Note or the Trustee on their behalf from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture.

     Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, nothing contained in this Article Eleven will restrict the right of the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes to take any action to declare the Guarantees to be due and payable prior to the stated maturity of the Notes pursuant to Section 6.02 or to pursue any rights or remedies hereunder.

     SECTION 11.03. Notice to Trustee. Each Guarantor shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any fact known to such Guarantor which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the Guarantee pursuant to the provisions of this Article Eleven.

     SECTION 11.04. This Article Not To Prevent Events of Default. The failure to make a payment on account of principal, of premium, if any, or interest on the Notes by reason of any provision of this Article Eleven will not be construed as preventing the occurrence of an Event of Default.

     SECTION 11.05. Trustee’s Compensation Not Prejudiced. Nothing in this Article Eleven will apply to amounts due to the Trustee pursuant to other sections in this Indenture.

     SECTION 11.06. Payments May Be Paid Prior to Dissolution. Nothing contained in this Article Eleven or elsewhere in this Indenture shall prevent (i) a Guarantor from making payments of principal of, premium if any, and interest on the Notes, or from depositing with the Trustee any monies for such payments or (ii) the application by the Trustee of any monies deposited with it for the purpose of making such payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes to the Holders entitled thereto, each Guarantor shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of such Guarantor.

     SECTION 11.07. Release of Guarantee. The Guarantee provided pursuant to this Article 11 by each Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon (i) the sale or other disposition of the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor, if, as a result of such sale or disposition, such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a subsidiary of FelCor LP; provided such sale or other disposition is in compliance with the terms of this Indenture, (ii) the consolidation or merger of any such Subsidiary Guarantor with any person

-61-

other than FelCor LP or a Subsidiary of FelCor LP, if, as a result of such consolidation or merger, such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a subsidiary of FelCor LP; provided such consolidation or merger is in compliance with this Indenture, (iii) a defeasance under Section 8.02 or 8.03 of this Indenture or (iv) the unconditional and complete release of such Subsidiary Guarantor from its Guarantee of all Guaranteed Indebtedness.

[REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE]

FELCOR LODGING LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

Senior Floating Rate Note due 2011

1.   Principal and Interest.

     FelCor LP will pay the principal of this Note on June 1, 2011.

     Interest on the Notes will be payable semi-annually in cash on each June 1 and December 1 commencing on December 1, 2004 (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), to the Holders of record of the Notes at the close of business on May 15 and November 15 immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date.

     If an exchange offer registered under the Securities Act is not consummated and a shelf registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to resales of the Notes is not declared effective by the Commission on or before November 22, 2004 in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, interest due on the Notes will accrue at an annual rate of 0.5% plus the interest rate specified on the face hereof until the exchange offer is consummated or the shelf registration statement is declared effective. The Holder of this Note is entitled to the benefits of such Registration Rights Agreement.

     Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the Closing Date.

     This Note will bear interest at a rate per annum (the “Applicable Interest Rate”), reset semi-annually, equal to LIBOR plus 4.25%, as determined by the calculation agent appointed by FelCor LP (the “Calculation Agent”), which shall initially be the Trustee.

     Set forth below is a summary of certain of the defined terms used in this Section 1 relating to the determination of interest on this Note.

     “Determination Date,” with respect to an Interest Period, will be the second London Banking Day preceding the first day of the Interest Period.

     “Interest Period” means the period commencing on and including an interest payment date and ending on and including the day immediately preceding the next succeeding interest payment date, with the exception that the first Interest Period shall commence on and include the Closing Date and end on and include November 30, 2004.

     “LIBOR,” with respect to an Interest Period, will be the rate (expressed as a percentage per annum) for deposits in United States dollars for a six-month period beginning on the second London Banking Day after the Determination Date that appears on Telerate Page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on the Determination Date. If Telerate Page 3750 does not include such a rate or is unavailable on a Determination Date, the Calculation Agent will request the principal London office of each of four major banks in the London interbank market, as selected by the Calculation Agent, to provide such bank’s offered quotation (expressed as a percentage per annum), as of approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on such Determination Date, to prime banks in the London interbank market for deposits in a Representative Amount in United States dollars for a six-month period beginning on the second London Banking Day after the Determination Date. If at least two such offered quotations are so provided, LIBOR for the Interest Period will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two such quotations are so provided, the Calculation Agent will request each of three major banks in New York City, as selected by the Calculation Agent, to provide such bank’s rate (expressed as a percentage per annum), as of approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Determination Date, for loans in a Representative Amount in United States dollars to leading European banks for a six-month period beginning on the second London Banking Day after the Determination Date. If at least two such rates are so provided, LIBOR for the Interest Period will be the arithmetic mean of such

A-3


Table of Contents

rates. If fewer than two such rates are so provided, then LIBOR for the Interest Period will be LIBOR in effect with respect to the immediately preceding Interest Period.

     “London Banking Day” is any day in which dealings in United States dollars are transacted or, with respect to any future date, are expected to be transacted in the London interbank market.

     “Representative Amount” means a principal amount of not less than U.S. $1,000,000 for a single transaction in the relevant market at the relevant time.

     “Telerate Page 3750” means the display designated as “Page 3750” on the Moneyline Telerate service (or such other page as may replace Page 3750 on that service).

     The amount of interest for each day that the Notes are outstanding (the “Daily Interest Amount”) will be calculated by dividing the interest rate in effect for such day by 360 and multiplying the result by the principal amount of the Notes. The amount of interest to be paid on the Notes for each Interest Period will be calculated by adding the Daily Interest Amounts for each day in the Interest Period.

     All percentages resulting from any of the above calculations will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with the final one-millionths of a percentage point being rounded upwards (e.g., 9.876545% (or .09876545) being rounded to 9.87655% (or ..0987655)) and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculations will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upwards).

     The interest rate on the Notes will in no event be higher than the maximum rate permitted by New York law as the same may be modified by United States law of general application.

     The Calculation Agent will, upon the request of the Holder of any Note, provide the interest rate then in effect with respect to the Notes. All calculations made by the Calculation Agent in the absence of manifest error will be conclusive for all purposes and binding on FelCor LP, the Guarantors and the Holders of the Notes.

     FelCor LP shall pay interest on overdue principal and premium, if any, and interest on overdue installments of interest, to the extent lawful, at a rate per annum that is 2% in excess of the rate otherwise payable.

2.   Method of Payment.

     FelCor LP will pay interest (except defaulted interest) on the principal amount of the Notes as provided above on each June 1 and December 1 to the persons who are Holders (as reflected in the Note Register at the close of business on such May 15 and November 15 immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date), in each case, even if the Note is canceled on registration of transfer or registration of exchange after such record date; provided that, with respect to the payment of principal, FelCor LP will make payment to the Holder that surrenders this Note to a Paying Agent on or after June 1, 2011.

     FelCor LP will pay principal, premium, if any, and as provided above, interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. However, FelCor LP may pay principal, premium, if any, and interest by its check payable in such money. It may mail an interest check to a Holder’s registered address (as reflected in the Note Register). If a payment date is a date other than a Business Day at a place of payment, payment may be made at that place on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day and no interest shall accrue for the intervening period.

3.   Paying Agent and Registrar.

     Initially, the Trustee will act as authenticating agent, Paying Agent and Registrar. FelCor LP may change any authenticating agent, Paying Agent or Registrar without notice. FelCor LP, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of them may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar.

4. Indenture; Limitations.

     FelCor LP issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of May 26, 2004 (the “Indenture”), among FelCor LP, FelCor, the Subsidiary Guarantors and SunTrust Bank (the “Trustee”). Capitalized terms herein are used as defined in the Indenture unless otherwise indicated. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the Trust Indenture Act for a statement of all such terms. To the extent permitted by applicable law, in the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this Note and the terms of the Indenture, the terms of the Indenture shall control.

     The Notes are general unsecured obligations of FelCor LP.

5. Redemption.

     Except as provided below, FelCor LP may not redeem any of the Notes prior to December 1, 2006.

     The Notes may be redeemed at the option of FelCor LP, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, on or after December 1, 2006, upon not less than 30 days’ nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the following Redemption Prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount thereof) if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing December 1 of the years indicated below, in each case together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date:

         
Year
  Redemption Price
2006
    102.000 %
2007
    101.000 %
2008 and thereafter
    100.000 %

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time, or from time to time, on or prior to June 1, 2007, FelCor LP may, at its option, use the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings to redeem up to 35% of the principal amount of the Notes at a Redemption Price (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount thereof) equal to the sum of (a) 100% plus (b) the then Applicable Interest Rate on the Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the Redemption Date; provided that

     (i) at least 65% of the principal amount of the Notes issued under this Indenture remains outstanding immediately after such redemption; and

     (ii) FelCor LP makes such redemption not more than 90 days after the consummation of any such Equity Offering.

     Notice of any optional redemption will be mailed at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its last address as it appears in the Note Register. Notes in original principal amount greater than $1,000 may be redeemed in part. On and after the Redemption Date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption, unless FelCor LP defaults in the payment of the amount due upon redemption.

6. Repurchase upon Change in Control.

     Upon the occurrence of any Change of Control, each Holder shall have the right to require the repurchase of its Notes by FelCor LP in cash pursuant to the offer described in the Indenture at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (the “Change of Control Payment”).

A-5


Table of Contents

     A notice of such Change of Control will be mailed within 30 days after any Change of Control occurs to each Holder at his last address as it appears in the Note Register. Notes in original denominations larger than $1,000 may be sold to FelCor LP in part. On and after the Change of Control Payment Date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of Notes surrendered for purchase by FelCor LP, unless FelCor LP defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment.

7. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange.

     The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 of principal amount at maturity and multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder may register the transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer or exchange of any Notes selected for redemption. Also, it need not register the transfer or exchange of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed is made.

8. Persons Deemed Owners.

     A Holder shall be treated as the owner of a Note for all purposes.

9. Unclaimed Money.

     If money for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee and the Paying Agent will pay the money back to FelCor LP at its request. After that, Holders entitled to the money must look to FelCor LP for payment, unless an abandoned property law designates another Person, and all liability of the Trustee and such Paying Agent with respect to such money shall cease.

10. Discharge Prior to Redemption or Maturity.

     If FelCor LP deposits with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations sufficient to pay the then outstanding principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on the Notes (a) to redemption or maturity, FelCor LP will be discharged from the Indenture and the Notes, except in certain circumstances for certain sections thereof, and (b) to the Stated Maturity, FelCor LP will be discharged from certain covenants set forth in the Indenture.

11. Amendment; Supplement; Waiver.

     Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, and any existing default or compliance with any provision may be waived with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. Without notice to or the consent of any Holder, the parties thereto may amend or supplement the Indenture or the Notes to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency and make any change that does not materially and adversely affect the rights of any Holder.

12. Restrictive Covenants.

     The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of FelCor, FelCor LP and their respective Restricted Subsidiaries, among other things, to Incur additional Indebtedness, make Restricted Payments, use the proceeds from Asset Sales, engage in transactions with Affiliates or merge, consolidate or transfer substantially all of their assets. Within 45 days after the end of each fiscal quarter (90 days after the end of the last fiscal quarter of each year), FelCor and FelCor LP must report to the Trustee on compliance with such limitations.

13. Successor Persons.

The Notes and Guarantees will be issued pursuant to an indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of May 26, 2004, among FelCor LP, FelCor, the Subsidiary Guarantors and SunTrust Bank, as trustee (the “Trustee”).

     In our capacity as your special counsel in connection with such registration, we are familiar with the proceedings taken, and proposed to be taken, by FelCor LP, FelCor and the Subsidiary Guarantors in connection with the authorization and issuance of the Notes and

Guarantees, and, for the purposes of this opinion, have assumed such proceedings will be timely completed in the manner presently proposed. In addition, we have made such legal and factual examinations and inquiries, including an examination of originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records and instruments, as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for purposes of this opinion.

     In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies.

     We are opining herein as to the effect on the subject transaction only of the internal laws of the State of Texas and the Delaware General Corporation Law, and we express no opinion with respect to the applicability thereto, or the effect thereon, of the laws of any other jurisdiction or as to any matters of municipal law or the laws of any other local agencies within any state.

     Subject to the foregoing and the other matters set forth herein, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof:

     1. When executed and delivered by or on behalf of FelCor LP and authenticated by the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the Notes will constitute valid and binding obligations of FelCor LP, enforceable against FelCor LP in accordance with their terms.

     2.  When the Notes are duly executed and authenticated by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, the Guarantees will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Guarantors, enforceable against the Guarantors in accordance with their terms.

     The opinions rendered in paragraphs 1 and 2 above relating to the enforceability of the Notes and Guarantees are subject to the following exceptions, limitations and qualifications: (i) the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors; (ii) the effect of general principles of equity, including principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, and the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought, regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law; and (iii) we express no opinion concerning the enforceability of any waivers, rights or defenses or provisions providing for the indemnification of, or contribution to, a party where such waivers, rights, defenses, indemnification or contribution is contrary to public policy.

     To the extent that the obligations of FelCor LP, FelCor and the Subsidiary Guarantors under the Indenture may be dependant upon such matters, we assume for purposes of this opinion that the Trustee is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization; that the Trustee is duly qualified to engage in the activities contemplated by the Indenture; that the Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Trustee and constitutes the legally valid and binding obligation of the Trustee, enforceable against the Trustee in accordance with its terms; that the Trustee is in compliance, generally and with respect to acting as a trustee under the Indenture, with all applicable laws and regulations; and that the Trustee has the requisite organizational and legal power and authority to perform its obligations under the Indenture.

     We hereby consent to the filing of this Opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement and to the use of our name under the caption “Legal Matters” in the Registration Statement and in the Prospectus included therein. In giving such consent, we do not admit that we come within the category of persons whose consent is required by Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder.

               2. Registration Under The 1933 Act. (a) To the extent not prohibited by any applicable law or applicable interpretation of the Staff of the SEC, the Company shall cause to be filed after the Closing Date an Exchange Offer Registration Statement covering the offer by the Company to the Holders to exchange all of the Registrable Notes for Exchange Notes, use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC, and to have such Exchange Offer Registration Statement remain effective until the closing of the Exchange Offer. The Company shall commence the Exchange Offer promptly after the Exchange Offer Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC and use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Exchange Offer consummated not later than 180 days after the Closing Date. The Company shall commence the Exchange Offer by mailing the related exchange offer Prospectus and accompanying documents to each Holder stating, in addition to such other disclosures as are required by applicable law:

          (i) that the Exchange Offer is being made pursuant to this Agreement and that all Registrable Notes validly tendered will be accepted for exchange;

          (ii) the dates of acceptance for exchange (which shall be a period of at least 20 business days from the date such notice is mailed) (the “Exchange Dates”);

          (iii) that any Registrable Note not tendered will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest in accordance with the terms of the Notes, but will not retain any rights under this Agreement;

          (iv) that Holders electing to have a Registrable Note exchanged pursuant to the Exchange Offer will be required to surrender such Registrable Note, together with the enclosed letters of transmittal, to the institution and at the address located in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the last Exchange Date; and

          (v) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election, not later than the close of business on the last Exchange Date, by sending to the institution and at the address located in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, specified in the notice a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of such Holder, the principal amount of Registrable Notes delivered for exchange and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Notes exchanged.

          As soon as practicable after the last Exchange Date, the Company shall:

-5-


 

          (i) accept for exchange Registrable Notes or portions thereof tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Exchange Offer; and

          (ii) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee for cancellation all Registrable Notes or portions thereof so accepted for exchange by the Company and issue, and cause the Trustee to promptly authenticate and mail to each Holder, an Exchange Note equal in principal amount to the principal amount of the Registrable Notes surrendered by such Holder.

The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to complete the Exchange Offer as provided above and shall comply with the applicable requirements of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act and other applicable laws and regulations in connection with the Exchange Offer. The Exchange Offer shall not be subject to any conditions, other than that the Exchange Offer does not violate applicable law or any applicable interpretation of the Staff of the SEC. The Company shall inform the Initial Purchaser, if requested by the Initial Purchaser, of the names and addresses of the Holders to whom the Exchange Offer is made, and the Initial Purchaser shall have the right, subject to applicable law, to contact such Holders and otherwise facilitate the tender of Registrable Notes in the Exchange Offer.

               (b) In the event that (i) the Company determines that the Exchange Offer Registration provided for in Section 2(a) above is not available or may not be consummated as soon as practicable after the last Exchange Date because it would violate applicable law or the applicable interpretations of the Staff of the SEC, (ii) the Exchange Offer is not for any other reason consummated on or prior to 180 days after the Closing Date, or (iii) in the opinion of counsel for the Initial Purchaser a Registration Statement must be filed and a Prospectus must be delivered by the Initial Purchaser in connection with any offering or sale of Registrable Notes, the Company shall cause to be filed as soon as practicable after such determination, date or notice of such opinion of counsel is given to the Company, a Shelf Registration Statement providing for the sale by the Holders of all of the Registrable Notes and use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such Shelf Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC. In the event the Company is required to file a Shelf Registration Statement solely as a result of the matters referred to in clause (iii) of the preceding sentence, the Company shall file and use its commercially reasonable efforts to have declared effective by the SEC both an Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) with respect to all Registrable Notes and a Shelf Registration Statement (which may be a combined Registration Statement with the Exchange Offer Registration Statement) with respect to offers and sales of Registrable Notes held by the Initial Purchaser after completion of the Exchange Offer. The Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective until the expiration of the period referred to in Rule 144(k) with respect to all Registrable Notes covered by the Shelf Registration Statement or such shorter period that will terminate when all of the Registrable Notes covered by the Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement. The Com-

-6-


 

pany further agrees to supplement or amend the Shelf Registration Statement if required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Company for such Shelf Registration Statement or by the 1933 Act or by any other rules and regulations thereunder for shelf registration or if reasonably requested by a Holder with respect to information relating to such Holder, and to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such amendment to become effective and such Shelf Registration Statement to become usable as soon as thereafter practicable. The Company agrees to furnish to the Holders of Registrable Notes copies of any such supplement or amendment promptly after its being used or filed with the SEC.

               (c) The Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with the registration pursuant to Section 2(a) or Section 2(b). Each Holder shall pay all underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer taxes, if any, relating to the sale or disposition of such Holder’s Registrable Notes pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement.

               (d) An Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof or a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof will not be deemed to have become effective unless it has been declared effective by the SEC; provided, however, that, if, after it has been declared effective, the offering of Registrable Notes pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or any other governmental agency or court, such Registration Statement will be deemed not to have become effective during the period of such interference until the offering of Registrable Notes pursuant to such Registration Statement may legally resume. As provided for in the Indenture, in the event that the Exchange Offer is not consummated, and if a Shelf Registration Statement is required hereby, the Shelf Registration Statement is not declared effective on or prior to 180 days after the Closing Date, the interest rate on the Notes (and the Exchange Notes) will increase by 0.5% per annum until the Exchange Offer is consummated or a Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective.

               (e) Without limiting the remedies available to the Initial Purchaser and the Holders, the Company acknowledges that any failure by the Company to comply with its obligations under Section 2(a) and Section 2(b) hereof may result in material irreparable injury to the Initial Purchaser or the Holders for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of any such failure, the Initial Purchaser or any Holder may obtain such relief as may be required to specifically enforce the Company’s obligations under Section 2(a) and Section 2(b) hereof.

               3. Registration Procedures. In connection with the obligations of the Company with respect to the Registration Statements pursuant to Section 2(a) and Section 2(b) hereof, the Company shall as expeditiously as possible:

          (a) prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement on the appropriate form under the 1933 Act, which form (x) shall be selected by the Company and (y)

     (b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective amendments to each Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for the applicable period and cause each Prospectus to be supplemented by any required prospectus supplement and, as so supplemented, to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the 1933 Act; to keep each Prospectus current during the period described under Section 4(3) and Rule 174 under the 1933 Act that is applicable to transactions by brokers or dealers with respect to the Registrable Notes or Exchanges Notes;

     (c) in the case of a Shelf Registration, furnish to each Holder of Registrable Notes, to counsel for the Initial Purchaser, to counsel for the Holders and to each Underwriter of an Underwritten Offering of Registrable Notes, if any, without charge, as many copies of each Prospectus, including each preliminary Prospectus, and any amendment or supplement thereto and such other documents as such Holder or Underwriter may reasonably request, in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Notes; and the Company consents to the use of such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto in accordance with applicable law by each of the selling Holders of Registrable Notes and any such Underwriters in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Notes covered by and in the manner described in such Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto in accordance with applicable law;

     (d) use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Notes under all applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions as any Holder of Registrable Notes covered by a Registration Statement shall reasonably request in writing by the time the applicable Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC, to cooperate with such Holders in connection with any filings required to be made with the NASD and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such Holder to consummate the disposition in each such jurisdiction of such Registrable Notes owned by such Holder; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to (i) qualify as a foreign corporation or as a broker or dealer in securities in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(d), (ii) file any general consent to service of process or (iii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction that it is already not so subject;

     (e) in the case of a Shelf Registration, notify each Holder of Registrable Notes, counsel for the Holders and counsel for the Initial Purchaser promptly and, if requested by any such Holder or counsel, confirm such advice in writing (i) when such Registration Statement has become effective and when any post-effective amendment thereto has been filed and becomes effective, (ii) of any request by the SEC or any state securities authority for amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement and Prospectus or for additional information after such Registration Statement has become effective, (iii) of the issuance by the SEC or any state securities authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (iv) if, between the effective date of such Registration Statement and the closing of any sale of Registrable Notes covered thereby, the representations and warranties of the Company contained in any underwriting agreement, securities sales agreement or other similar agreement, if any, relating to the offering cease to be true and correct in any material respect or if the Company receives any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Notes for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose, (v) of the happening of any event during the period a Shelf Registration Statement is effective such that such Registration Statement or the related Prospectus contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make statements therein not misleading and (vi) of any determination by the Company that a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement would be appropriate;

     (f) make every reasonable effort to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement at the earliest possible moment and provide immediate notice to each Holder of the withdrawal of any such order;

     (g) in the case of a Shelf Registration, furnish to each Holder of Registrable Notes, without charge, at least one conformed copy of each Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto (without documents incorporated therein by reference or exhibits thereto, unless requested);

     (h) in the case of a Shelf Registration, cooperate with the selling Holders of Registrable Notes to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Notes to be sold and not bearing any restrictive legends and enable such Registrable Notes to be in such denominations (consistent with the provisions of the Indenture) and registered in such names as the selling Holders may reasonably request at least one business day prior to the closing of any sale of Registrable Notes;

     (i) in the case of a Shelf Registration, upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(e)(v) or (vi) hereof, use its commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the SEC a supplement or post-effective amendment to a Regis-

-9-


 

tration Statement or the related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Notes, such Prospectus will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Company agrees to notify the Holders to suspend use of the Prospectus as promptly as practicable after the occurrence of such an event, and the Holders hereby agree to suspend use of the Prospectus upon receipt of such notice until the Company has amended or supplemented the Prospectus to correct such misstatement or omission;

     (j) a reasonable time prior to the filing of any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, any amendment to a Registration Statement or amendment or supplement to a Prospectus or any document which is to be incorporated by reference into a Registration Statement or a Prospectus after initial filing of a Registration Statement, provide copies of such document to the Initial Purchaser and its counsel, upon request, (and, in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, the Holders and their counsel) and make such of the representatives of the Company as shall be reasonably requested by the Initial Purchaser or its counsel (and, in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, the Holders or their counsel) available for discussion of such document, and shall not at any time file or make any amendment to the Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any amendment of or supplement to a Registration Statement or a Prospectus or any document which is to be incorporated by reference into a Registration Statement or a Prospectus, of which the Initial Purchaser and its counsel (and, in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, the Holders and their counsel) shall not have previously been advised and furnished a copy or to which the Initial Purchaser or its counsel (and, in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, the Holders or their counsel) shall reasonably object;

     (k) cause the Indenture to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “TIA”), in connection with the registration of the Exchange Notes or Registrable Notes, as the case may be, cooperate with the Trustee and the Holders to effect such changes to the Indenture as may be required for the Indenture to be so qualified in accordance with the terms of the TIA and execute, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Trustee to execute, all documents as may be required to effect such changes and all other forms and documents required to be filed with the SEC to enable the Indenture to be so qualified in a timely manner;

     (l) in the case of a Shelf Registration, make available for inspection by a representative of the Holders of the Registrable Notes, any Underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement, and attorneys and accountants designated by the Holders, at reasonable times and in a reasonable manner,

-10-


 

all financial and other records, pertinent documents and properties of the Company, and cause the respective officers, directors and employees of the Company to supply all information reasonably requested by any such representative, Underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with a Shelf Registration Statement;

     (m) in the case of a Shelf Registration, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Notes to be listed on any securities exchange or any automated system on which similar securities issued by FelCor or the Operating Partnership are then listed if requested by the Majority Holders, to the extent such Registrable Notes satisfy applicable listing requirements;

     (n) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Exchange Notes or Registrable Notes, as the case may be, to be rated by two nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (as such term is defined in Rule 436(g)(2) under the 1933 Act);

     (o) if reasonably requested by any Holder of Registrable Notes covered by a Registration Statement in order to accurately reflect information regarding such Holder or such Holder’s plan of distribution as required by such Registration Statement, (i) promptly incorporate in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such required information with respect to such Holder as such Holder reasonably requests to be included therein and (ii) make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or such post-effective amendment as soon as the Company has received notification of the matters to be incorporated in such filing; and

     (p) in the case of a Shelf Registration, use its commercially reasonable efforts to enter into such customary agreements and take all such other actions in connection therewith (including those requested by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Notes being sold) in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Notes including, but not limited to, an Underwritten Offering and in such connection, (i) to the extent possible, make such representations and warranties to the Holders and any Underwriters of such Registrable Notes with respect to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries, the Registration Statement, Prospectus and documents incorporated by reference or deemed incorporated by reference, if any, in each case, in form, substance and scope as are customarily made by issuers to underwriters in Underwritten Offerings (but in no event more onerous to the Company than those contained in the Purchase Agreement), and confirm the same if and when requested, (ii) obtain opinions of counsel to the Company (which counsel and opinions, in form, scope and substance, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Holders and such Underwriters and their respective counsel) addressed to each selling Holder and Underwriter of Registrable Notes covering the matters customarily covered in opinions requested in Underwritten Offerings (but in no event more onerous to the Company

-11-


 

than those opinions required in the Purchase Agreement), (iii) obtain “cold comfort” letters from the independent certified public accountants of FelCor and the Operating Partnership (and, if necessary, any other certified public accountant of any subsidiary of the Company, or of any business acquired by the Company for which financial statements and financial data are or are required to be included in the Registration Statement) addressed to each selling Holder and Underwriter of Registrable Notes, such letters to be in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in “cold comfort” letters in connection with Underwritten Offerings, and (iv) deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Registrable Notes being sold or the Underwriters, and which are customarily delivered in Underwritten Offerings, to evidence the continued validity of the representations and warranties of the Company made pursuant to clause (i) above and to evidence compliance with any customary conditions contained in an underwriting agreement.

               In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, the Company may require each Holder of Registrable Notes to furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder and the proposed distribution by such Holder of such Registrable Notes as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing.

               In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(e)(v) or (vi) hereof, such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Notes pursuant to a Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 3(i) hereof, and, if so directed by the Company, such Holder will deliver to the Company (at its expense) all copies in its possession, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the Prospectus covering such Registrable Notes current at the time of receipt of such notice. The Company may suspend the availability of any Shelf Registration Statement for not more than two times during any 365 day period and any such suspensions may not exceed 30 days for each suspension. If the Company shall give any such notice to suspend the disposition of Registrable Notes pursuant to a Registration Statement, the Company shall extend the period during which the Registration Statement shall be maintained effective pursuant to this Agreement by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date when the Company shall have made available to the Holders copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus necessary to resume such dispositions.

               The Holders of Registrable Notes covered by a Shelf Registration Statement who desire to do so may sell such Registrable Notes in an Underwritten Offering; provided that the Company shall be required to use its commercially reasonable efforts to make an Underwritten Offering only upon the request of Holders of at least 25% of the Registrable Notes outstanding at the time such request is delivered to the Company. In the case of any Under-

-12-


 

written Offering, the Company shall (x) provide written notice to the Holders of all Registrable Notes of such Underwritten Offering at least 30 days prior to the filing of a prospectus for such Underwritten Offering, (y) specify a date, which shall be no earlier than 10 days following the date of such notice, by which each such Holder must inform the Company of its intent to participate in such Underwritten Offering and (z) include reasonable procedures that are customary to underwritten offerings of the type contemplated herein that such Holder must follow in order to participate in such Underwritten Offering. In any such Underwritten Offering, the investment banker or investment bankers and manager or managers (the “Underwriters”) that will administer the offering will be selected by the Majority Holders of the Registrable Notes included in such offering and shall be approved by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

               4. Participation of Broker-Dealers In Exchange Offer. (a) The Staff of the SEC has taken the position that any broker-dealer that receives Exchange Notes for its own account in the Exchange Offer in exchange for Notes that were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making or other trading activities (a “Participating Broker-Dealer”), may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the 1933 Act and must deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the 1933 Act in connection with any resale of such Exchanges Notes.

               The Company understands that it is the Staff’s position that if the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement includes a plan of distribution containing a statement to the above effect and the means by which Participating Broker-Dealers may resell the Exchange Notes, without naming the Participating Broker-Dealers or specifying the amount of Exchange Notes owned by them, such Prospectus may be delivered by Participating Broker-Dealers to satisfy their prospectus delivery obligation under the 1933 Act in connection with resales of Exchange Notes for their own accounts, so long as the Prospectus otherwise meets the requirements of the 1933 Act.

               (b) In light of the above, notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, the Company agrees that the provisions of this Agreement as they relate to a Shelf Registration shall also apply to an Exchange Offer Registration to the extent, and with such reasonable modifications thereto as may be, reasonably requested by the Initial Purchaser or by one or more Participating Broker-Dealers, in each case as provided in clause (ii) below, in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of any Exchange Notes by Participating Broker-Dealers consistent with the positions of the Staff recited in Section 4(a) above; provided that:

         (i) the Company shall not be required to amend or supplement the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, as would otherwise be contemplated by Section 3(i), for a period exceeding 180 days after the last Exchange Date (as such period may be extended pursuant to the penultimate paragraph of

-13-


 

Section 3 of this Agreement) and Participating Broker-Dealers shall not be authorized by the Company to deliver and shall not deliver such Prospectus after such period in connection with the resales contemplated by this Section 4; and

   (ii) the application of the Shelf Registration procedures set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement to an Exchange Offer Registration, to the extent not required by the positions of the Staff of the SEC or the 1933 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, will be in conformity with the reasonable request to the Company by the Initial Purchaser or with the reasonable request in writing to the Company by one or more broker-dealers who certify to the Initial Purchaser and the Company in writing that they anticipate that they will be Participating Broker-Dealers; and provided further that, in connection with such application of the Shelf Registration procedures set forth in Section 3 to an Exchange Offer Registration, the Company shall be obligated (x) to deal only with one entity representing the Participating Broker-Dealers, which shall be Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. unless it elects not to act as such representative, (y) to pay the fees and expenses of only one counsel representing the Participating Broker-Dealers, which shall be counsel to the Initial Purchaser unless such counsel elects not to so act and (z) to cause to be delivered only one, if any, “cold comfort” letter with respect to the Prospectus in the form existing on the last Exchange Date and with respect to each subsequent amendment or supplement, if any, effected during the period specified in clause (i) above.

     (c) The Initial Purchaser shall have no liability to the Company or any Holder with respect to any request that it may make pursuant to Section 4(b) above.

     5. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Initial Purchaser, each Holder and each person, if any, who controls the Initial Purchaser or any Holder within the meaning of either Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, or is under common control with, or is controlled by, the Initial Purchaser or any Holder, from and against all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Initial Purchaser, any Holder or any such controlling or affiliated person in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) pursuant to which Exchange Notes or Registrable Notes were registered under the 1933 Act, including all documents incorporated therein by reference, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto), or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made not mis-

-14-


 

leading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information relating to the Initial Purchaser or any Holder furnished to the Company in writing by the Initial Purchaser or such Holder expressly for use therein. In connection with any Underwritten Offering permitted by Section 3, the Company will also indemnify the Underwriters, if any, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such Persons (within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Holders, if requested in connection with any Registration Statement.

     (b) Each Holder agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Initial Purchaser and the other selling Holders, and each of their respective directors, officers who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company, the Initial Purchaser and any other selling Holder within the meaning of either Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to the Initial Purchaser and the Holders, but only with reference to information relating to such Holder furnished to the Company in writing by such Holder expressly for use in any Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto).

     (c) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to either paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) above, such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them or (iii) the indemnifying party does not, within a reasonable period of time after request of such indemnified party, retain counsel to represent such indemnified party. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for (A) the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for the Initial Purchaser and all persons, if any, who control the Initial Purchaser within the meaning of either Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, (B) the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for the Company, its

-15-


 

directors and officers who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either such Section and (C) the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Holders and all persons, if any, who control any Holders within the meaning of either such Section, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. In such case involving the Initial Purchaser and persons who control the Initial Purchaser, such firm shall be designated in writing by Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. In such case involving the Holders and such persons who control Holders, such firm shall be designated in writing by the Majority Holders. In all other cases, such firm shall be designated by the Company. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent but, if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for reasonable fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party for such fees and expenses of counsel in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which such indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

     (d) If the indemnification provided for in paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) of this Section 5 is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and of the indemnified party or parties on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company and the Holders shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Holders and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Holders’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 5(d) are several in proportion to the respective number of Registrable Notes of such Holder that were registered pursuant to a Registration Statement.

-16-


 

     (e) The Company and each Holder agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (d) above. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5, no Holder shall be required to indemnify or contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which Registrable Notes were sold by such Holder exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 5 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

     The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 5 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Initial Purchaser, any Holder or any person controlling the Initial Purchaser or any Holder, or by or on behalf of the Company, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company, (iii) acceptance of any of the Exchange Notes and (iv) any sale of Registrable Notes pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement.

     6. Miscellaneous.

     (a) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company has not entered into, and on or after the date of this Agreement will not enter into, any agreement which is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Notes in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. The rights granted to the Holders hereunder do not in any way conflict with and are not inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of the Company’s other issued and outstanding securities under any such agreements.

     (b) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given unless the Company has obtained the written consent of Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Registrable Notes affected by such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent; provided, however, that no amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consents to any departure from the provisions of Section 5 hereof shall be

-17-


 

effective as against any Holder of Registrable Notes unless consented to in writing by such Holder.

     (c) Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, registered first-class mail, facsimile or any courier guaranteeing overnight delivery (i) if to a Holder, at the most current address given by such Holder to the Company by means of a notice given in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(c), which address initially is, with respect to the Initial Purchaser, the address set forth in the Purchase Agreement; and (ii) if to the Company, initially at the Company’s address set forth in the Purchase Agreement and thereafter at such other address, notice of which is given in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(c).

     All such notices and communications shall be deemed to have been duly given: at the time delivered by hand, if personally delivered; five business days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, if mailed; when receipt is confirmed, if faxed; and on the next business day if timely delivered to an air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery.

     Copies of all such notices, demands, or other communications shall be concurrently delivered by the person giving the same to the Trustee, at the address specified in the Indenture.

     (d) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors, assigns and transferees of each of the parties, including, without limitation and without the need for an express assignment, subsequent Holders; provided that nothing herein shall be deemed to permit any assignment, transfer or other disposition of Registrable Notes in violation of the terms of the Purchase Agreement. If any transferee of any Holder shall acquire Registrable Notes, in any manner, whether by operation of law or otherwise, such Registrable Notes shall be held subject to all of the terms of this Agreement, and by taking and holding such Registrable Notes such person shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to perform all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and such person shall be entitled to receive the benefits hereof. The Initial Purchaser (in its capacity as Initial Purchaser) shall have no liability or obligation to the Company with respect to any failure by a Holder to comply with, or any breach by any Holder of, any of the obligations of such Holder under this Agreement.

     (e) Purchases and Sales of Notes. The Company shall not, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its affiliates (as defined in Rule 405 under the 1933 Act) not to, purchase and then resell or otherwise transfer any Notes other than Notes acquired and cancelled.

     (f) Third Party Beneficiary. The Holders shall be third party beneficiaries to the agreements made hereunder between the Company, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchaser, on the other hand, and shall have the right to enforce such agreements directly to

-18-


 

the extent it deems such enforcement necessary or advisable to protect its rights or the rights of Holders hereunder.

     (g) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

     (h) Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

     (i) Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

     (j) Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstance, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not be affected or impaired thereby.

The Notes will be guaranteed by FelCor and the Subsidiary Guarantors (as defined below) so long as they are obligors on other indebtedness of FelCor and the Operating Partnership which is pari passu with, or subordinated to, the Notes. In order to induce the Initial Purchaser to enter into the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to provide to the Initial Purchaser and their direct and indirect transferees the registration rights with respect to the Notes set forth in this Agreement.

          2. Registration Under The 1933 Act. (a) To the extent not prohibited by any applicable law or applicable interpretation of the Staff of the SEC, the Company shall cause to be filed after the Closing Date an Exchange Offer Registration Statement covering the offer by the Company to the Holders to exchange all of the Registrable Notes for Exchange Notes, use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC, and to have such Exchange Offer Registration Statement remain effective until the closing of the Exchange Offer. The Company shall commence the Exchange Offer promptly after the Exchange Offer Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC and use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Exchange Offer consummated not later than November 22, 2004. The Company shall commence the Exchange Offer by mailing the related exchange offer Prospectus and accompanying documents to each Holder stating, in addition to such other disclosures as are required by applicable law:

     (i) that the Exchange Offer is being made pursuant to this Agreement and that all Registrable Notes validly tendered will be accepted for exchange;

     (ii) the dates of acceptance for exchange (which shall be a period of at least 20 business days from the date such notice is mailed) (the “Exchange Dates”);

     (iii) that any Registrable Note not tendered will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest in accordance with the terms of the Notes, but will not retain any rights under this Agreement;

     (iv) that Holders electing to have a Registrable Note exchanged pursuant to the Exchange Offer will be required to surrender such Registrable Note, together with the enclosed letters of transmittal, to the institution and at the address located in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the last Exchange Date; and

     (v) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election, not later than the close of business on the last Exchange Date, by sending to the institution and at the address located in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, specified in the notice a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of such Holder, the principal amount of Registrable Notes delivered for exchange and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Notes exchanged.

     As soon as practicable after the last Exchange Date, the Company shall:

-5-


 

     (i) accept for exchange Registrable Notes or portions thereof tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Exchange Offer; and

     (ii) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee for cancellation all Registrable Notes or portions thereof so accepted for exchange by the Company and issue, and cause the Trustee to promptly authenticate and mail to each Holder, an Exchange Note equal in principal amount to the principal amount of the Registrable Notes surrendered by such Holder.

The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to complete the Exchange Offer as provided above and shall comply with the applicable requirements of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act and other applicable laws and regulations in connection with the Exchange Offer. The Exchange Offer shall not be subject to any conditions, other than that the Exchange Offer does not violate applicable law or any applicable interpretation of the Staff of the SEC. The Company shall inform the Initial Purchaser, if requested by the Initial Purchaser, of the names and addresses of the Holders to whom the Exchange Offer is made, and the Initial Purchaser shall have the right, subject to applicable law, to contact such Holders and otherwise facilitate the tender of Registrable Notes in the Exchange Offer.

          (b) In the event that (i) the Company determines that the Exchange Offer Registration provided for in Section 2(a) above is not available or may not be consummated as soon as practicable after the last Exchange Date because it would violate applicable law or the applicable interpretations of the Staff of the SEC, (ii) the Exchange Offer is not for any other reason consummated on or prior to November 22, 2004, or (iii) in the opinion of counsel for the Initial Purchaser a Registration Statement must be filed and a Prospectus must be delivered by the Initial Purchaser in connection with any offering or sale of Registrable Notes, the Company shall cause to be filed as soon as practicable after such determination, date or notice of such opinion of counsel is given to the Company, a Shelf Registration Statement providing for the sale by the Holders of all of the Registrable Notes and use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such Shelf Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC. In the event the Company is required to file a Shelf Registration Statement solely as a result of the matters referred to in clause (iii) of the preceding sentence, the Company shall file and use its commercially reasonable efforts to have declared effective by the SEC both an Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) with respect to all Registrable Notes and a Shelf Registration Statement (which may be a combined Registration Statement with the Exchange Offer Registration Statement) with respect to offers and sales of Registrable Notes held by the Initial Purchaser after completion of the Exchange Offer. The Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective until the expiration of the period referred to in Rule 144(k) with respect to all Registrable Notes covered by the Shelf Registration Statement or such shorter period that will terminate when all of the Registrable Notes covered by the Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement. The Company further

-6-


 

agrees to supplement or amend the Shelf Registration Statement if required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Company for such Shelf Registration Statement or by the 1933 Act or by any other rules and regulations thereunder for shelf registration or if reasonably requested by a Holder with respect to information relating to such Holder, and to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such amendment to become effective and such Shelf Registration Statement to become usable as soon as thereafter practicable. The Company agrees to furnish to the Holders of Registrable Notes copies of any such supplement or amendment promptly after its being used or filed with the SEC.

          (c) The Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with the registration pursuant to Section 2(a) or Section 2(b). Each Holder shall pay all underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer taxes, if any, relating to the sale or disposition of such Holder’s Registrable Notes pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement.

          (d) An Exchange Offer Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof or a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof will not be deemed to have become effective unless it has been declared effective by the SEC; provided, however, that, if, after it has been declared effective, the offering of Registrable Notes pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or any other governmental agency or court, such Registration Statement will be deemed not to have become effective during the period of such interference until the offering of Registrable Notes pursuant to such Registration Statement may legally resume. As provided for in the Indenture, in the event that the Exchange Offer is not consummated, and if a Shelf Registration Statement is required hereby, the Shelf Registration Statement is not declared effective on or prior to November 22, 2004, the interest rate on the Notes (and the Exchange Notes) will increase by 0.5% per annum until the Exchange Offer is consummated or a Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective.

          (e) Without limiting the remedies available to the Initial Purchaser and the Holders, the Company acknowledges that any failure by the Company to comply with its obligations under Section 2(a) and Section 2(b) hereof may result in material irreparable injury to the Initial Purchaser or the Holders for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of any such failure, the Initial Purchaser or any Holder may obtain such relief as may be required to specifically enforce the Company’s obligations under Section 2(a) and Section 2(b) hereof.

          3. Registration Procedures. In connection with the obligations of the Company with respect to the Registration Statements pursuant to Section 2(a) and Section 2(b) hereof, the Company shall as expeditiously as possible:

     (a) prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement on the appropriate form under the 1933 Act, which form (x) shall be selected by the Company and (y) shall, in the case of a Shelf Registration, be available for the sale of the Registrable

-7-


 

Notes by the selling Holders thereof and (z) shall comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the applicable form and include all financial statements required by the SEC to be filed therewith, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and remain effective in accordance with Section 2 hereof;

     (b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective amendments to each Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for the applicable period and cause each Prospectus to be supplemented by any required prospectus supplement and, as so supplemented, to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the 1933 Act; to keep each Prospectus current during the period described under Section 4(3) and Rule 174 under the 1933 Act that is applicable to transactions by brokers or dealers with respect to the Registrable Notes or Exchanges Notes;

     (c) in the case of a Shelf Registration, furnish to each Holder of Registrable Notes, to counsel for the Initial Purchaser, to counsel for the Holders and to each Underwriter of an Underwritten Offering of Registrable Notes, if any, without charge, as many copies of each Prospectus, including each preliminary Prospectus, and any amendment or supplement thereto and such other documents as such Holder or Underwriter may reasonably request, in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Notes; and the Company consents to the use of such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto in accordance with applicable law by each of the selling Holders of Registrable Notes and any such Underwriters in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Notes covered by and in the manner described in such Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto in accordance with applicable law;

     (d) use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Notes under all applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions as any Holder of Registrable Notes covered by a Registration Statement shall reasonably request in writing by the time the applicable Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC, to cooperate with such Holders in connection with any filings required to be made with the NASD and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such Holder to consummate the disposition in each such jurisdiction of such Registrable Notes owned by such Holder; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to (i) qualify as a foreign corporation or as a broker or dealer in securities in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(d), (ii) file any general consent to service of process or (iii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction that it is already not so subject;

-8-


 

     (e) in the case of a Shelf Registration, notify each Holder of Registrable Notes, counsel for the Holders and counsel for the Initial Purchaser promptly and, if requested by any such Holder or counsel, confirm such advice in writing (i) when such Registration Statement has become effective and when any post-effective amendment thereto has been filed and becomes effective, (ii) of any request by the SEC or any state securities authority for amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement and Prospectus or for additional information after such Registration Statement has become effective, (iii) of the issuance by the SEC or any state securities authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose, (iv) if, between the effective date of such Registration Statement and the closing of any sale of Registrable Notes covered thereby, the representations and warranties of the Company contained in any underwriting agreement, securities sales agreement or other similar agreement, if any, relating to the offering cease to be true and correct in any material respect or if the Company receives any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Notes for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose, (v) of the happening of any event during the period a Shelf Registration Statement is effective such that such Registration Statement or the related Prospectus contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make statements therein not misleading and (vi) of any determination by the Company that a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement would be appropriate;

     (f) make every reasonable effort to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement at the earliest possible moment and provide immediate notice to each Holder of the withdrawal of any such order;

     (g) in the case of a Shelf Registration, furnish to each Holder of Registrable Notes, without charge, at least one conformed copy of each Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto (without documents incorporated therein by reference or exhibits thereto, unless requested);

     (h) in the case of a Shelf Registration, cooperate with the selling Holders of Registrable Notes to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Notes to be sold and not bearing any restrictive legends and enable such Registrable Notes to be in such denominations (consistent with the provisions of the Indenture) and registered in such names as the selling Holders may reasonably request at least one business day prior to the closing of any sale of Registrable Notes;

     (i) in the case of a Shelf Registration, upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(e)(v) or (vi) hereof, use its commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the SEC a supplement or post-effective amendment to a Registration

-9-


 

Statement or the related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable Notes, such Prospectus will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Company agrees to notify the Holders to suspend use of the Prospectus as promptly as practicable after the occurrence of such an event, and the Holders hereby agree to suspend use of the Prospectus upon receipt of such notice until the Company has amended or supplemented the Prospectus to correct such misstatement or omission;

     (j) a reasonable time prior to the filing of any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, any amendment to a Registration Statement or amendment or supplement to a Prospectus or any document which is to be incorporated by reference into a Registration Statement or a Prospectus after initial filing of a Registration Statement, provide copies of such document to the Initial Purchaser and its counsel, upon request, (and, in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, the Holders and their counsel) and make such of the representatives of the Company as shall be reasonably requested by the Initial Purchaser or its counsel (and, in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, the Holders or their counsel) available for discussion of such document, and shall not at any time file or make any amendment to the Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any amendment of or supplement to a Registration Statement or a Prospectus or any document which is to be incorporated by reference into a Registration Statement or a Prospectus, of which the Initial Purchaser and its counsel (and, in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, the Holders and their counsel) shall not have previously been advised and furnished a copy or to which the Initial Purchaser or its counsel (and, in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, the Holders or their counsel) shall reasonably object;

     (k) cause the Indenture to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “TIA”), in connection with the registration of the Exchange Notes or Registrable Notes, as the case may be, cooperate with the Trustee and the Holders to effect such changes to the Indenture as may be required for the Indenture to be so qualified in accordance with the terms of the TIA and execute, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Trustee to execute, all documents as may be required to effect such changes and all other forms and documents required to be filed with the SEC to enable the Indenture to be so qualified in a timely manner;

     (l) in the case of a Shelf Registration, make available for inspection by a representative of the Holders of the Registrable Notes, any Underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement, and attorneys and accountants designated by the Holders, at reasonable times and in a reasonable manner,

-10-


 

all financial and other records, pertinent documents and properties of the Company, and cause the respective officers, directors and employees of the Company to supply all information reasonably requested by any such representative, Underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with a Shelf Registration Statement;

     (m) in the case of a Shelf Registration, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Notes to be listed on any securities exchange or any automated system on which similar securities issued by FelCor or the Operating Partnership are then listed if requested by the Majority Holders, to the extent such Registrable Notes satisfy applicable listing requirements;

     (n) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Exchange Notes or Registrable Notes, as the case may be, to be rated by two nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (as such term is defined in Rule 436(g)(2) under the 1933 Act);

     (o) if reasonably requested by any Holder of Registrable Notes covered by a Registration Statement in order to accurately reflect information regarding such Holder or such Holder’s plan of distribution as required by such Registration Statement, (i) promptly incorporate in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such required information with respect to such Holder as such Holder reasonably requests to be included therein and (ii) make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or such post-effective amendment as soon as the Company has received notification of the matters to be incorporated in such filing; and

     (p) in the case of a Shelf Registration, use its commercially reasonable efforts to enter into such customary agreements and take all such other actions in connection therewith (including those requested by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Notes being sold) in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Notes including, but not limited to, an Underwritten Offering and in such connection, (i) to the extent possible, make such representations and warranties to the Holders and any Underwriters of such Registrable Notes with respect to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries, the Registration Statement, Prospectus and documents incorporated by reference or deemed incorporated by reference, if any, in each case, in form, substance and scope as are customarily made by issuers to underwriters in Underwritten Offerings (but in no event more onerous to the Company than those contained in the Purchase Agreement), and confirm the same if and when requested, (ii) obtain opinions of counsel to the Company (which counsel and opinions, in form, scope and substance, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Holders and such Underwriters and their respective counsel) addressed to each selling Holder and Underwriter of Registrable Notes covering the matters customarily covered in opinions requested in Underwritten Offerings (but in no event more onerous to the Company

-11-


 

than those opinions required in the Purchase Agreement), (iii) obtain “cold comfort” letters from the independent certified public accountants of FelCor and the Operating Partnership (and, if necessary, any other certified public accountant of any subsidiary of the Company, or of any business acquired by the Company for which financial statements and financial data are or are required to be included in the Registration Statement) addressed to each selling Holder and Underwriter of Registrable Notes, such letters to be in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in “cold comfort” letters in connection with Underwritten Offerings, and (iv) deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Registrable Notes being sold or the Underwriters, and which are customarily delivered in Underwritten Offerings, to evidence the continued validity of the representations and warranties of the Company made pursuant to clause (i) above and to evidence compliance with any customary conditions contained in an underwriting agreement.

          In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, the Company may require each Holder of Registrable Notes to furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder and the proposed distribution by such Holder of such Registrable Notes as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing.

          In the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(e)(v) or (vi) hereof, such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Notes pursuant to a Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 3(i) hereof, and, if so directed by the Company, such Holder will deliver to the Company (at its expense) all copies in its possession, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the Prospectus covering such Registrable Notes current at the time of receipt of such notice. The Company may suspend the availability of any Shelf Registration Statement for not more than two times during any 365 day period and any such suspensions may not exceed 30 days for each suspension. If the Company shall give any such notice to suspend the disposition of Registrable Notes pursuant to a Registration Statement, the Company shall extend the period during which the Registration Statement shall be maintained effective pursuant to this Agreement by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date when the Company shall have made available to the Holders copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus necessary to resume such dispositions.

          The Holders of Registrable Notes covered by a Shelf Registration Statement who desire to do so may sell such Registrable Notes in an Underwritten Offering; provided that the Company shall be required to use its commercially reasonable efforts to make an Underwritten Offering only upon the request of Holders of at least 25% of the Registrable Notes outstanding at the time such request is delivered to the Company. In the case of any Under-

-12-


 

written Offering, the Company shall (x) provide written notice to the Holders of all Registrable Notes of such Underwritten Offering at least 30 days prior to the filing of a prospectus for such Underwritten Offering, (y) specify a date, which shall be no earlier than 10 days following the date of such notice, by which each such Holder must inform the Company of its intent to participate in such Underwritten Offering and (z) include reasonable procedures that are customary to underwritten offerings of the type contemplated herein that such Holder must follow in order to participate in such Underwritten Offering. In any such Underwritten Offering, the investment banker or investment bankers and manager or managers (the “Underwriters”) that will administer the offering will be selected by the Majority Holders of the Registrable Notes included in such offering and shall be approved by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

          4. Participation of Broker-Dealers In Exchange Offer. (a) The Staff of the SEC has taken the position that any broker-dealer that receives Exchange Notes for its own account in the Exchange Offer in exchange for Notes that were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making or other trading activities (a “Participating Broker-Dealer”), may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the 1933 Act and must deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the 1933 Act in connection with any resale of such Exchanges Notes.

          The Company understands that it is the Staff’s position that if the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement includes a plan of distribution containing a statement to the above effect and the means by which Participating Broker-Dealers may resell the Exchange Notes, without naming the Participating Broker-Dealers or specifying the amount of Exchange Notes owned by them, such Prospectus may be delivered by Participating Broker-Dealers to satisfy their prospectus delivery obligation under the 1933 Act in connection with resales of Exchange Notes for their own accounts, so long as the Prospectus otherwise meets the requirements of the 1933 Act.

          (b) In light of the above, notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, the Company agrees that the provisions of this Agreement as they relate to a Shelf Registration shall also apply to an Exchange Offer Registration to the extent, and with such reasonable modifications thereto as may be, reasonably requested by the Initial Purchaser or by one or more Participating Broker-Dealers, in each case as provided in clause (ii) below, in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of any Exchange Notes by Participating Broker-Dealers consistent with the positions of the Staff recited in Section 4(a) above; provided that:

     (i) the Company shall not be required to amend or supplement the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, as would otherwise be contemplated by Section 3(i), for a period exceeding 180 days after the last Exchange Date (as such period may be extended pursuant to the penultimate paragraph of

-13-


 

Section 3 of this Agreement) and Participating Broker-Dealers shall not be authorized by the Company to deliver and shall not deliver such Prospectus after such period in connection with the resales contemplated by this Section 4; and

     (ii) the application of the Shelf Registration procedures set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement to an Exchange Offer Registration, to the extent not required by the positions of the Staff of the SEC or the 1933 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, will be in conformity with the reasonable request to the Company by the Initial Purchaser or with the reasonable request in writing to the Company by one or more broker-dealers who certify to the Initial Purchaser and the Company in writing that they anticipate that they will be Participating Broker-Dealers; and provided further that, in connection with such application of the Shelf Registration procedures set forth in Section 3 to an Exchange Offer Registration, the Company shall be obligated (x) to deal only with one entity representing the Participating Broker-Dealers, which shall be Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. unless it elects not to act as such representative, (y) to pay the fees and expenses of only one counsel representing the Participating Broker-Dealers, which shall be counsel to the Initial Purchaser unless such counsel elects not to so act and (z) to cause to be delivered only one, if any, “cold comfort” letter with respect to the Prospectus in the form existing on the last Exchange Date and with respect to each subsequent amendment or supplement, if any, effected during the period specified in clause (i) above.

          (c) The Initial Purchaser shall have no liability to the Company or any Holder with respect to any request that it may make pursuant to Section 4(b) above.

          5. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Initial Purchaser, each Holder and each person, if any, who controls the Initial Purchaser or any Holder within the meaning of either Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, or is under common control with, or is controlled by, the Initial Purchaser or any Holder, from and against all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Initial Purchaser, any Holder or any such controlling or affiliated person in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) pursuant to which Exchange Notes or Registrable Notes were registered under the 1933 Act, including all documents incorporated therein by reference, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto), or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made not mis-

-14-


 

leading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information relating to the Initial Purchaser or any Holder furnished to the Company in writing by the Initial Purchaser or such Holder expressly for use therein. In connection with any Underwritten Offering permitted by Section 3, the Company will also indemnify the Underwriters, if any, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such Persons (within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Holders, if requested in connection with any Registration Statement.

     (b) Each Holder agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Initial Purchaser and the other selling Holders, and each of their respective directors, officers who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company, the Initial Purchaser and any other selling Holder within the meaning of either Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to the Initial Purchaser and the Holders, but only with reference to information relating to such Holder furnished to the Company in writing by such Holder expressly for use in any Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto).

     (c) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to either paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) above, such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them or (iii) the indemnifying party does not, within a reasonable period of time after request of such indemnified party, retain counsel to represent such indemnified party. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for (A) the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for the Initial Purchaser and all persons, if any, who control the Initial Purchaser within the meaning of either Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, (B) the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for the Company, its

- 15 -


 

directors and officers who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either such Section and (C) the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Holders and all persons, if any, who control any Holders within the meaning of either such Section, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. In such case involving the Initial Purchaser and persons who control the Initial Purchaser, such firm shall be designated in writing by Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. In such case involving the Holders and such persons who control Holders, such firm shall be designated in writing by the Majority Holders. In all other cases, such firm shall be designated by the Company. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent but, if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for reasonable fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party for such fees and expenses of counsel in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which such indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

     (d) If the indemnification provided for in paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) of this Section 5 is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and of the indemnified party or parties on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company and the Holders shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Holders and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Holders’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 5(d) are several in proportion to the respective number of Registrable Notes of such Holder that were registered pursuant to a Registration Statement.

- 16 -


 

     (e) The Company and each Holder agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (d) above. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (d) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5, no Holder shall be required to indemnify or contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which Registrable Notes were sold by such Holder exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 5 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

     The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 5 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Initial Purchaser, any Holder or any person controlling the Initial Purchaser or any Holder, or by or on behalf of the Company, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company, (iii) acceptance of any of the Exchange Notes and (iv) any sale of Registrable Notes pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement.

     6. Miscellaneous.

     (a) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company has not entered into, and on or after the date of this Agreement will not enter into, any agreement which is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Notes in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. The rights granted to the Holders hereunder do not in any way conflict with and are not inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of the Company’s other issued and outstanding securities under any such agreements.

     (b) Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given unless the Company has obtained the written consent of Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Registrable Notes affected by such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent; provided, however, that no amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consents to any departure from the provisions of Section 5 hereof shall be

- 17 -


 

effective as against any Holder of Registrable Notes unless consented to in writing by such Holder.

     (c) Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, registered first-class mail, facsimile or any courier guaranteeing overnight delivery (i) if to a Holder, at the most current address given by such Holder to the Company by means of a notice given in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(c), which address initially is, with respect to the Initial Purchaser, the address set forth in the Purchase Agreement; and (ii) if to the Company, initially at the Company’s address set forth in the Purchase Agreement and thereafter at such other address, notice of which is given in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(c).

     All such notices and communications shall be deemed to have been duly given: at the time delivered by hand, if personally delivered; five business days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, if mailed; when receipt is confirmed, if faxed; and on the next business day if timely delivered to an air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery.

     Copies of all such notices, demands, or other communications shall be concurrently delivered by the person giving the same to the Trustee, at the address specified in the Indenture.

     (d) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors, assigns and transferees of each of the parties, including, without limitation and without the need for an express assignment, subsequent Holders; provided that nothing herein shall be deemed to permit any assignment, transfer or other disposition of Registrable Notes in violation of the terms of the Purchase Agreement. If any transferee of any Holder shall acquire Registrable Notes, in any manner, whether by operation of law or otherwise, such Registrable Notes shall be held subject to all of the terms of this Agreement, and by taking and holding such Registrable Notes such person shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to perform all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and such person shall be entitled to receive the benefits hereof. The Initial Purchaser (in its capacity as Initial Purchaser) shall have no liability or obligation to the Company with respect to any failure by a Holder to comply with, or any breach by any Holder of, any of the obligations of such Holder under this Agreement.

     (e) Purchases and Sales of Notes. The Company shall not, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its affiliates (as defined in Rule 405 under the 1933 Act) not to, purchase and then resell or otherwise transfer any Notes other than Notes acquired and cancelled.

     (f) Third Party Beneficiary. The Holders shall be third party beneficiaries to the agreements made hereunder between the Company, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchaser, on the other hand, and shall have the right to enforce such agreements directly to

- 18 -


 

the extent it deems such enforcement necessary or advisable to protect its rights or the rights of Holders hereunder.

     (g) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

     (h) Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

     (i) Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

     (j) Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstance, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not be affected or impaired thereby.

  B.   present the Old Notes for transfer on the books of the Company, receive all benefits and exercise all rights of beneficial ownership of these Old Notes, according to the terms of the Exchange Offer. The power of attorney granted in this paragraph is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.

The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that he, she or it has full authority to tender the Old Notes described above. The undersigned will, upon request, execute and deliver any additional documents deemed by the Company to be necessary or desirable to complete the exchange of the Old Notes.

     4. The undersigned understands that the tender of the Old Notes pursuant to all of the procedures set forth in the Prospectus will constitute an agreement between the undersigned and the Company upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Prospectus.

     5. The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned is not an affiliate of the Company or of any of the Guarantors (as defined in the Prospectus), that the undersigned is acquiring the New Notes in the ordinary course of the business of the undersigned and that the undersigned is not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, a distribution of the New Notes.

     6. If the undersigned is a broker-dealer (i) it hereby represents and warrants that it acquired the Old Notes for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, (ii) it hereby acknowledges that it will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in connection with any resale of the New Notes received hereby and (iii) such broker-dealer has not entered into any arrangement or understanding with the Company or any affiliate of the Company to distribute the New Notes. The acknowledgment contained in the foregoing sentence shall not be deemed an admission that the undersigned is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act.
