Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Interstate Hotels & Resorts, Inc. amended its senior secured credit facility, as described below under Item 2.03. The description of the amendment to our senior secured credit facility (and related transactions) is incorporated in this item by reference. The terms "we" and "our" refer to Interstate Hotels & Resorts, Inc.

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On May 24, 2007, Interstate Westin, LP, one of our wholly owned affiliates, closed on the acquisition of the 495-room Westin Atlanta Airport Hotel in Georgia, pursuant to that certain Agreement of Purchase and Sale with LEPERCQ Atlanta Renaissance Partners, LP., an affiliate of The Blackstone Group ("Blackstone"), dated May 4, 2007. The purchase price was $74 million, or $149,500 per key. One of our wholly owned affiliates will manage the hotel.

We financed the acquisition through cash on hand and borrowings under our senior secured credit facility.

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

General

On May 24, 2007, we amended our senior secured credit facility. The amended senior secured credit facility provides aggregate loan commitments consisting of a $115 million term loan and a $85 million revolving credit facility. This is an increase of our existing senior secured credit facility of $50 million to the term loan and $25 million to the revolver. In addition, we have the ability in the future to increase the revolving credit facility and/or the term loan by up to $75 million, in the aggregate, by seeking additional commitments from lenders. The amendment did not change the senior secured credit facility’s scheduled maturity date of March 9, 2010.

The additional $50 million of term loan proceeds were used, along with cash on hand, to finance the May 24, 2007 acquisition of the Westin Atlanta Airport Hotel.

The repayments on the aggregate principal amount of the term loan have increased from $650,000 to $1,115,000 per year, paid in quarterly installments of $278,750, with the remainder repayable upon maturity.

Financial Covenants

The amended senior secured credit facility revised certain financial covenants. The leverage ratio must be less than 5.75 to 1.00 at all times. In addition, our debt service coverage ratio requirements have been amended as follows: (i) we must maintain a debt service coverage ratio of not less than 2.25 to 1.00 for the Rolling Period (defined as the immediately preceding four fiscal quarters) ending December 31, 2008, and (ii) 2.50 to 1.00 for each Rolling Period thereafter.
