Statement on Form S-1 (Registration Number 333-49881) (the "Registration
Statement"), unless terminated earlier in accordance with Section 4 of this
Agreement; provided that such term shall automatically be extended from time to

time for additional periods of one calendar year from the date on which it would
otherwise expire unless the Executive, on one hand, or the Company and the
Partnership, on the other, gives notice to the other party or parties not less

Agreement to expire without extension on such date. (The initial term of this
Agreement as the same may be extended in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement is hereinafter referred to as the "Term").
2. Position; Conduct.
-----------------
(a) During the Term, the Executive will hold the title and office of,
and serve in the position of, Chief Financial Officer of the Company and the

position of any direct or indirect subsidiary without additional compensation)
as they shall reasonably request consistent with the Executive's position.
(b) During the Term, the Executive agrees to devote his full business
time and attention to the business and affairs of the Company and the
Partnership and to faithfully and diligently perform, to the best of his
ability, all of his duties and responsibilities
hereunder; provided, that the Executive may devote his business time to
--------
providing services to MeriStar Hospitality Corporation, and may provide services
as described in Schedule A attached hereto, so long as such activity does not
----------
interfere with the performance of the Executive's duties hereunder. Nothing in
this Agreement shall preclude the Executive from devoting reasonable time and
attention to (i) serving, with the approval of the Board, as a director, trustee
or member of any committee of any organization, (ii) engaging in charitable and
community activities and (iii) managing his personal investments and affairs;
provided that such activities do not involve any material conflict of interest
-------- ----
with the interests of the Company or, individually or collectively, interfere
materially with the performance by the Executive of his duties and
responsibilities under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing and except
as expressly provided herein, during the Term, the Executive may not accept
employment with any other individual or entity, or engage in any other venture
which is directly or indirectly in conflict or competition with the business of
the Company or the Partnership.
(c) The Executive's office and place of rendering his services under

and administrative and secretarial assistance and other support services
consistent with his position as Chief Financial Officer and with his duties and
responsibilities hereunder.
3. Salary; Additional Compensation; Perquisites and Benefits.

(a) During the Term, the Company and the Partnership will pay the
Executive a base salary at an aggregate annual rate of not less than $200,000
per annum, subject to annual review by the Compensation Committee of the Board
(the "Compensation Committee"), and in the discretion of such Committee,
increased from time to time. Once increased, such base salary may not be
decreased. Such salary shall be paid in periodic installments in accordance
with the Company's standard practice, but not less frequently than semi-monthly.
(b) For each fiscal year during the Term, the Executive will be
eligible to receive a bonus from the Company. The award and amount of such
bonus shall be based upon the achievement of predefined operating or performance
goals and other criteria established by the Compensation Committee, which goals
shall give the Executive the opportunity to earn a bonus in the following
amounts: threshold target - 25% of base salary; target - 85% of base salary;
and maximum bonus amount - 100% of base salary.
(c) During the Term, the Executive will participate in all plans now
existing or hereafter adopted by the Company or the Partnership for their
management employees or the general benefit of their employees, such as any
pension, profit-sharing, bonuses, stock
2
option or other incentive compensation plans, life and health insurance plans,
or other insurance plans and benefits on the same basis and subject to the same
qualifications as other senior executive officers.
(d) (1) The Executive shall be eligible for stock option grants from
time to time pursuant to the Company's Incentive Plan in accordance with the
terms thereof.
(2) In connection with the spin-off of the Company from CapStar Hotel
Company, the Executive received options to purchase 27,500 shares of common
stock of the Company (the "Pre-Spinoff Awards"). The Pre-Spinoff Awards will
become fully vested if the Executive's employment is terminated voluntarily or
involuntarily within twenty-four (24) months of the Spin-Off Date.
(3) The Compensation Committee has granted to the Executive,
effective on the Commencement Date, options to purchase 47,500 shares of the
common stock of the Company at an exercise price equal to the fair market value
at the time of grant. Subject to the terms of this Agreement as to the
acceleration of vesting of stock options, such options shall vest as follows:
First Anniversary of the Commencement Date 33-1/3%
vested Second Anniversary of the
Commencement Date 66-2/3%
vested Third Anniversary of the
Commencement Date 100% vested
Such options shall be exercisable, subject to vesting and continued service, for
ten (10) years from the date of grant and in all other respects shall be subject
to the terms and conditions of the Incentive Plan.
(e) The Company and the Partnership will reimburse the Executive, in
accordance with their standard policies from time to time in effect, for all
out-of-pocket business expenses as may be incurred by the Executive in the
performance of his duties under this Agreement.
(f) The Executive shall be entitled to vacation time to be credited
and taken in accordance with the Company's policy from time to time in effect
for senior executives, which in any event shall not be less than a total of four
weeks per calendar year.
(g) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Executive
shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company and the Partnership
against any and all judgments, penalties, fines, amounts paid in settlement, and
other reasonable expenses
3
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements)
actually incurred by the Executive in connection with any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding (whether civil, criminal, administrative,
investigative or other) for any action or omission in his capacity as a
director, officer or employee of the Company or the Partnership.
Indemnification under this Section 3(g) shall be in addition to, and
not in substitution of, any other indemnification by the Company or the
Partnership of its officers and directors. Expenses incurred by the Executive
in defending an action, suit or proceeding for which he claims the right to be
indemnified pursuant to this Section 3(g) shall be paid by the Company or the
Partnership, as the case may be, in advance of the final disposition of such
action suit or proceeding upon the Company's or the Partnership's receipt of (x)
a written affirmation by the Executive of his good faith belief that the
standard of conduct necessary for his indemnification hereunder and under the
provisions of applicable law has been met and (y) a written undertaking by or on
behalf of the Executive to repay the amount advanced if it shall ultimately be
determined by a court that the Executive engaged in conduct which precludes
indemnification under the provisions of such applicable law. Such written
undertaking in clause (y) shall be accepted by the Company or the Partnership,
as the case may be, without security therefor and without reference to the
financial ability of the Executive to make repayment thereunder. The Company
and the Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain in
effect for the Term of this Agreement a directors' and officers' liability
insurance policy, with a policy limit of at least $5,000,000, subject to
customary exclusions, with respect to claims made against officers and directors
of the Company or the Partnership; provided, however, the Company or the
-------- -------
Partnership, as the case may be, shall be relieved of this obligation to
maintain directors' and officers' liability insurance if, in the good faith
judgment of the Company or the Partnership, it cannot be obtained at a
reasonable cost.
4. Termination.
-----------
(a) The Term will terminate immediately upon the Executive's death or,
upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice by the Company, in the case of a
determination of the Executive's Disability. As used herein the term
"Disability" means the Executive's inability to perform his duties and
responsibilities under this Agreement for a period of more than 120 consecutive
days, or for more than 180 days, whether or not continuous, during any 365-day
period, due to physical or mental incapacity or impairment. A determination of
Disability will be made by a physician reasonably satisfactory to both the
Executive and the Company and paid for by the Company or the Partnership whose
decision shall be final and binding on the Executive and the Company; provided
--------
that if they cannot agree as to a physician, then each shall select and pay for
----
a physician and these two together shall select a third physician whose fee
shall be borne equally by the Executive and either the Company or the
Partnership and whose determination of Disability shall be binding on the
Executive and the Company. Should the Executive become incapacitated, his
employment shall continue and all base and other compensation due the Executive
hereunder shall continue to be paid through
4
the date upon which the Executive's employment is terminated for Disability in
accordance with this section.
(b) The Term may be terminated by the Company upon notice to the
Executive upon the occurrence of any event constituting "Cause" as defined
herein.
(c) The Term may be terminated by the Executive upon notice to the
Company of any event constituting "Good Reason" as defined herein.
5. Severance.
---------
(a) If the Term is terminated by the Company for Cause, the Company
and the Partnership will pay to the Executive an aggregate amount equal to the
Executive's accrued and unpaid base salary through the date of such termination,
and all unvested options will terminate immediately and any vested options
issued pursuant to the Company's Incentive Plan and held by the Executive at
termination, will expire ninety (90) days after the termination date.
(b) If the Term is terminated by the Executive other than because of
death, Disability or for Good Reason, the Company and the Partnership will pay
to the Executive an aggregate amount equal to the Executive's accrued and unpaid
base salary through the date of such termination, and all unvested options will
terminate immediately and any vested options issued pursuant to the Company's
Incentive Plan and held by the Executive at termination, will expire ninety (90)
days after the termination date.
(c) If the Term is terminated upon the Executive's death or
Disability, the Company and the Partnership will pay to the Executive's estate
or the Executive, as the case may be, a lump sum payment equal to the
Executive's base salary through the termination date, plus a pro rata portion of
the Executive's bonus for the fiscal year in which the termination occurred. In
addition, the Company will make payments for one (1) year of all compensation
otherwise payable to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement, including, but
not limited to, base salary, bonus and welfare benefits. In addition, all of
the Executive's unvested stock options and restricted stock awards will
immediately vest and become exercisable for a period of one (1) year thereafter
and shares of restricted stock of the Company previously granted to the
Executive shall become free from all contractual restrictions.
(d) Subject to Section 5(e) hereof, if the Term is terminated by the
Company without Cause or other than by reason of his death or Disability, in
addition to any other remedies available, or if the Executive terminates the
Term for Good Reason, the Company and the Partnership shall pay the Executive a
lump sum equal to the product of one (1) times the sum of (A) the Executive's
then annual base salary and (B) the amount of the Executive's bonus for the
preceding year, or if the Term is terminated prior to December 31, 1999 the
Executive's target bonus for such year. In addition, all of the Executive's
unvested stock options and restricted stock awards will immediately vest and
become exercisable for a period
5
of one (1) year thereafter and shares of restricted stock of the Company
previously granted to the Executive shall become free from all contractual
restrictions, and the Company shall continue in effect the Executive's health
insurance benefits until the earlier of (x) one (1) year from the end of the
Term or (y) the date on which the Executive obtains health insurance coverage
from a subsequent employer.
(e) If, within eighteen (18) months following a Change in Control, the
Term is terminated by the Executive for Good Reason or by the Company without
Cause, in addition to any other rights which the Executive may have under law or
otherwise, the Executive shall receive the same payments and benefits provided
for under Section 5(d) hereof; provided, that the amount of the multiplier
--------
described in clause (d) of Section 5 hereof shall be increased from one (1)
times to two (2) times.
(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5 to the contrary if the
Term is terminated for any reason within twenty-four (24) months following the
Spin-Off Date, the Pre-Spinoff Awards will immediately vest and remain
exercisable in accordance with their respective terms; provided, however, such
-------- -------
Pre-Spinoff Awards will have an exercise period of at least one-year from the
date of termination.
(g) As used herein, the term "Cause" means:
(i) the Executive's willful and intentional failure or refusal to
perform or observe any of his material duties, responsibilities or
obligations set forth in this Agreement; provided, however, that the
-------- -------
Company shall not be deemed to have Cause pursuant to this clause (i)
unless the Company gives the Executive written notice that the specified
conduct has occurred and making specific reference to this Section 5(g)(i)
and the Executive fails to cure the conduct within thirty (30) days after
receipt of such notice;
(ii) any willful and intentional act of the Executive involving
malfeasance, fraud, theft, misappropriation of funds, embezzlement or
dishonesty affecting the Company or the Partnership; or
(iii) the Executive's conviction of, or a plea of guilty or nolo
contendere to, an offense which is a felony in the jurisdiction involved.
Termination of the Executive for Cause shall be communicated by a Notice of
Termination. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Notice of Termination" shall
mean delivery to the Executive of a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the
affirmative vote of not less than a majority of the entire membership of the
Company's Board at a meeting of the Board called and held for the purpose (after
reasonable notice to the Executive and reasonable opportunity for the Executive,
together with the Executive's counsel, to be heard before the Board prior to
such vote) of finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board, the Executive
was guilty of
6
conduct constituting Cause and specifying the particulars thereof in detail,
including, with respect to any termination based upon conduct described in
clause (i) above, that the Executive failed to cure such conduct during the
thirty-day period following the date on which the Company gave written notice of
the conduct referred to in such clause (i). For purposes of this Agreement, no
such purported termination of the Executive's employment shall be effective
without such Notice of Termination;
(h) As used herein, the term "Good Reason" means the occurrence of any
of the following, without the prior written consent of the Executive:
(i) assignment of the Executive of duties materially inconsistent
with the Executive's positions as described in Section 2(a) hereof, or any
significant diminution in the Executive's duties or responsibilities, other
than in connection with the termination of the Executive's employment for
Cause, Disability or as a result of the Executive's death or by the
Executive other than for Good Reason;
(ii) the change in the location of the Company's principal
executive offices or the Executive's principal place of employment to a
location outside the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area; or
(iii) any material breach of this Agreement by the Company or
the Partnership which is continuing;
provided, however, that the Executive shall not be deemed to have Good Reason
-------- -------
pursuant to clauses (i) or (iii) above unless the Executive gives the Company or
the Partnership, as the case may be, written notice that the specified conduct
or event has occurred and the Company or the Partnership fails to cure such
conduct or event within thirty (30) days of the receipt of such notice.
(i) As used herein, the term "Change in Control" means the occurrence
of any one of the following events:
(i) the acquisition (other than from the Company) by any "Person"
(as the term is used for purposes of Sections 13(d) or 14(d) of the
Exchange Act) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3
promulgated under the Exchange Act) of fifty (50%) percent or more of the
combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding voting securities;
or
(ii) the individuals who were members of the Board (the
"Incumbent Board") during the previous twelve (12) month period, cease for
any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided,
--------
however, that if the election, or nomination for election by the Company's
-------
stockholders, of any new director was approved by a vote of at least two-
thirds of the Incumbent Board, such new director
7
shall, for purposes of this Agreement, be considered as a member of the
Incumbent Board; or
(iii) approval by stockholders of the Company of (a) merger or
consolidation involving the Company if the stockholders of the Company,
immediately before such merger or consolidation do not, as a result of such
merger or consolidation, own, directly or indirectly, more than seventy
(70%) percent of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting
securities of the corporation resulting from such merger or consolidation
in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of the combined
voting power of the voting securities of the Company outstanding
immediately before such merger or consolidation or (b) a complete
liquidation or dissolution of the Company or an agreement for the sale or
other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to
occur pursuant to clause (i) above solely because fifty (50%) percent or
more of the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding
securities is acquired by (a) a trustee or other fiduciary holding
securities under one or more employee benefit plans maintained by the
Company or any of its subsidiaries or (b) any corporation which,
immediately prior to such acquisition, is owned directly or indirectly by
the stockholders of the Company in the same proportion as their ownership
of stock in the Company immediately prior to such acquisition.
(j) The amounts required to be paid and the benefits required to be
made available to the Executive under this Section 5 are absolute. Under no
circumstances shall the Executive, upon the termination of his employment
hereunder, be required to seek alternative employment and, in the event that the
Executive does secure other employment, no compensation or other benefits
received in respect of such employment shall be set-off or in any other way
limit or reduce the obligations of the Company under this Section 5.
(k) Notwithstanding the previous provisions, if payments made pursuant
to this Section 5 are considered "parachute payments" under Section 280G of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, then the sum of such parachute payments plus any
other payments made by the Company to the Executive which are considered
parachute payments shall be limited to the greatest amount which may be paid to
the Executive under Section 280G without causing any loss of deduction to the
Company under such section; but only if, by reason of such reduction, the net
after tax benefit of Executive shall exceed the net after tax benefit if such
reduction were not made. "Net after tax benefit" for purposes of this Agreement
shall mean the sum of (i) the total amounts payable to Executive under Section
5, plus (ii) all other payments and benefits which the Executive receives or is
then entitled to receive from the Company that would constitute a "parachute
payment" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, less (iii) the amount
of federal income taxes payable with respect to the foregoing calculated at the
maximum marginal income tax rate for each year in which the foregoing shall
8
be paid to Executive (based upon the rate in effect for such year as set forth
in the Code at the time of termination of Executives's employment), less (iv)
the amount of excise taxes imposed with respect to the payments and benefits
described in (i) and (ii) above by Section 4999 of the Code.
6. Confidential Information.
------------------------
(a) The Executive acknowledges that the Company and its subsidiaries
or affiliated ventures ("Company Affiliates") own and have developed and
compile, and will in the future own, develop and compile certain Confidential
Information and that during the course of his rendering services hereunder
Confidential Information will be disclosed to the Executive by the Company
Affiliates. The Executive hereby agrees that, during the Term and for a period
of three years thereafter, he will not use or disclose, furnish or make
accessible to anyone, directly or indirectly, any Confidential Information of
the Company Affiliates.
(b) As used herein, the term "Confidential Information" means any
trade secrets, confidential or proprietary information, or other knowledge,
know-how, information, documents or materials, owned, developed or possessed by
a Company Affiliate pertaining to its businesses the confidentiality of which
such company takes reasonable measures to protect, including, but not limited
to, trade secrets, techniques, know-how (including designs, plans, procedures,
processes and research records), software, computer programs, innovations,
discoveries, improvements, research, developments, test results, reports,
specifications, data, formats, marketing data and business plans and strategies,
agreements and other forms of documents, expansion plans, budgets, projections,
and salary, staffing and employment information. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Confidential Information shall not in any event include information which (i)
was generally known or generally available to the public prior to its disclosure
to the Executive, (ii) becomes generally known or generally available to the
public subsequent to its disclosure to the Executive through no wrongful act of
the Executive, (iii) is or becomes available to the Executive from sources other
than the Company Affiliates which sources are not known to the Executive to be
under any duty of confidentiality with respect thereto or (iv) the Executive is
required to disclose by applicable law or regulation or by order of any court or
federal, state or local regulatory or administrative body (provided that the
Executive provides the Company with prior notice of the contemplated disclosure
and reasonably cooperates with the Company, at the Company's sole expense, in
seeking a protective order or other appropriate protection of such information).
7. Specific Performance.
--------------------
(a) The Executive acknowledges that the services to be rendered by him
hereunder are of a special, unique, extraordinary and personal character and

violation by the Executive of Section 6 hereof. Therefore, in addition to any
other remedies available, the Company shall be entitled to specific enforcement
and/or an injunction from any court of competent jurisdiction
9
restraining the Executive from committing or continuing any such violation of
this Agreement without proving actual damages or posting a bond or other
security. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Company from
pursuing any other remedies available to it for such breach or threatened
breach, including the recovery of damages.
(b) If any of the restrictions on activities of the Executive
contained in Section 6 hereof shall for any reason be held by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be excessively broad, such restrictions shall be
construed so as thereafter to be limited or reduced to be enforceable to the
maximum extent compatible with the applicable law as it shall then appear; it
being understood that by the execution of this Agreement the parties hereto
regard such restrictions as reasonable and compatible with their respective
rights.
(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the
event that the Company fails to make any payment of any amounts or provide any
of the benefits to the Executive when due as called for under Section 5 of this
Agreement and such failure shall continue for twenty (20) days after notice
thereof from the Executive, all restrictions on the activities of the Executive
under Section 6 hereof shall be immediately and permanently terminated.
8. Withholding. The parties agree that all payments to be made to
-----------
the Executive by the Company pursuant to the Agreement shall be subject to all
applicable withholding obligations of such company.
9. Notices. All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in
-------
writing and shall be deemed given and received when delivered personally, four
(4) days after being mailed if sent by registered or certified mail, postage
pre-paid, or by one (1) day after delivery if sent by air courier (for next-day

unique services by the Executive, and the Executive's rights and obligations
hereunder may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated by the
Executive. The rights and obligations of the Company and the Partnership
