Section 1 — Registrant’s Business and Operations
     Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
     On November 10, 2006, FelCor/JPM Hotels, L.L.C. and DJONT/JPM Leasing, L.L.C., as borrowers, which are subsidiaries of FelCor Lodging Trust Incorporated (the “Company”) and FelCor Lodging Limited Partnership (the “Partnership”), entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as lender, providing for a loan in the principal amount of $250 million (the “BOA Loan”). The BOA Loan has a term of two years with three one-year extension options, bears an annual interest rate of LIBOR plus 93 basis points, and requires monthly interest-only payments through maturity. The Loan Agreement includes rights to prepayment and substitution and release of properties, subject to certain conditions, and is subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of certain events of default by the borrowers. The BOA Loan is secured by first priority mortgages on twelve hotel properties directly owned by the borrowers and is nonrecourse to the borrowers, except for certain customary carveouts for which the borrowers may have recourse liability. The Partnership is the guarantor of the recourse liability of the borrowers under the Loan Agreement. The proceeds of the BOA Loan were used to refinance the MM Loan and JPM Loan (as defined and discussed in Item 1.02 below, which is incorporated herein by reference) and to finance the repurchases of the Partnership’s 7 5/8% senior notes due 2007 tendered pursuant to the recently completed tender offer.
     Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement
     In connection with the BOA Loan, FelCor/MM Holdings, L.P., a subsidiary of the Company, completed the defeasance of its loan from Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (the “MM Loan”), dated as of May 12, 1999, in the original aggregate principal amount of $75.3 million, secured by first priority mortgages on four hotels owned by the borrower. The borrower elected the defeasance pursuant to the terms of the MM Loan. In compliance with the MM Loan and as a condition to the lender’s obligation to release the mortgages on the real property securing the MM Loan, the borrower granted to the lender a security interest in government securities purchased by the borrower to secure the repayment of the MM Loan. In connection with the pledge, the borrower was released from its obligations under the MM Loan.
     Also in connection with the BOA Loan, FelCor/JPM Hotels, L.L.C., a subsidiary of the Company, prepaid in full the outstanding amounts under its loan agreement (the “JPM Loan”), dated as of April 24, 2003, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, as lender, in the original aggregate principal amount of $115 million, secured by first priority mortgages on eight hotels owned by the borrower. The total amount of the prepayment was $88.5 million, which included the outstanding principal amount of $88.0 million and accrued interest of $518,000.
     The twelve hotels released from the MM Loan and the JPM Loan were mortgaged to secure the BOA Loan.
