CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT
THIS CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made as of the date last
below written by and among Bass America, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("Contributor"), FelCor Lodging Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited
partnership ("FLLP"), and FelCor Lodging Trust Incorporated, a Maryland
corporation and the sole general partner of FLLP ("General Partner").
RECITALS:
A. Contributor is the record and beneficial owner of 2,448,212 shares of
the common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock"), of FelCor Lodging
Trust Incorporated and desires to contribute 1,000,000 shares of the Common
Stock, as such shares may be as adjusted from time to time for any stock
splits, stock dividends or other recapitalizations (the "Contributed Assets")
to FLLP.
B. Contributor and General Partner, among others, are parties to that
certain Stockholders' and Registration Rights Agreement dated July 28, 1998
(the "Stockholders Agreement").
C. FLLP desires to acquire the Contributed Assets from Contributor, on the
terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
D. General Partner, in order to induce Contributor to enter into this
Agreement, has agreed to make certain representations, warranties and covenants
in this Agreement, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this
Agreement.
AGREEMENT:
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and the mutual
covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE I.
The Contribution
1.1 Contribution of Contributed Assets. Contributor agrees to contribute
and transfer the Contributed Assets to FLLP and FLLP agrees to accept transfer
of the Contributed Assets pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in
this Agreement. The Contributed Assets shall be transferred to FLLP at Closing
(defined below), free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, security interests,
prior assignments or conveyances, conditions, restrictions, claims and other
matters affecting title.
1.2 Consideration. The total consideration (the "Consideration") for which
Contributor agrees to contribute and assign the Contributed Assets to FLLP, and
which FLLP agrees to pay or deliver to Contributor, subject to the terms of
this Agreement, shall be the issuance to Contributor of the units ("Units") of
limited partner interest in FLLP equal in number to the total number of
- 1 -
shares of Common Stock comprising the Contributed Assets. Contributor hereby
subscribes for and agrees to accept the issuance of the Units and the terms and
conditions of the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership for
FLLP dated as of July 25, 1994, as amended to date (the "Partnership
Agreement"), including without limitation the power of attorney granted in
Section 1.4 of the Partnership Agreement, and to execute and deliver at the
Closing such other documents or instruments as may be required by General
Partner under Section 11.4 of the Partnership Agreement.
1.3 Redemption Rights for Units. Each Unit shall be redeemable, at the
option of Contributor, in accordance with, but subject to the restrictions
contained in, Section 7.5 of the Partnership Agreement; provided, however, that
Contributor's redemption option may not be exercised prior to January 1, 2001.
Furthermore, notwithstanding the provisions set forth in Section 7.5 of the
Partnership Agreement, if Contributor elects to redeem its Units, the General
Partner may, in its sole and absolute discretion, pay the Redemption Amount (as
defined in the Partnership Agreement) either (i) through payment of the REIT
Shares Amount (as defined in the Partnership Agreement), or (ii) by causing
FLLP to distribute to Contributor the Contributed Assets, subject, in either
case, to all of the other conditions set forth in Section 7.5.
1.4 Registration Rights. Contributor shall have rights to obtain
registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") of the
shares of Common Stock that may be issuable in redemption for Contributor's
Units pursuant to the terms of the Stockholders Agreement, whether such Units
are issued pursuant hereto or were issued pursuant to that certain Contribution
Agreement among the parties hereto dated February 27, 2000. General Partner
acknowledges that, for purposes of the Stockholders Agreement, the shares of
Common Stock that may be issuable in redemption for all Units so issued to
Contributor shall be deemed Registrable Shares, as that term is defined in the
Stockholders Agreement, and General Partner shall cause a Registration
Statement (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement) with respect to the shares
issuable upon redemption of all such Units to become effective pursuant to
Section 2.1 thereof no later than December 31, 2000. The provisions of this
Section 1.4 shall amend, modify, supercede and replace the provisions of
Section 1.4 of that certain Contribution Agreement among the parties hereto
dated February 27, 2000.
1.5 SEC Filings. FLLP agrees to provide to Contributor a copy of all
periodic reports filed after the date of this Agreement by General Partner with
the SEC under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
This obligation will cease upon the termination of this Agreement prior to
Closing or upon the redemption by Contributor of all of its Units after
Closing.
1.6 Section 721 Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement, including without limitation the use of words and phrases such
as "Seller," "Purchaser," "Purchase Price," "sell," "sale," purchase" and
"pay," the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that it is their intent that
the transaction contemplated hereby be treated for federal income tax purposes
as the contribution of the Contributed Assets by Contributor to FLLP in
exchange for the Units pursuant to Section 721 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code"), and not as a transaction in which Contributor is
acting other than in its capacity as a prospective partner of FLLP.

ARTICLE II.
Representations and Covenants
2.1 Representations by General Partner and FLLP. General Partner and FLLP
hereby represent and warrant unto Contributor that each and every one of the
following statements is true, correct and complete in every material respect as
of the date of this Agreement and will be true, correct and complete as of the
Closing Date:
(a) General Partner is duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the State of Maryland, and has full right, power and
authority to enter into this Agreement and to assume and perform all of its
obligations under this Agreement; that the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the performance by General Partner of its obligations under this
Agreement, including, but not by way of limitation, its obligations with
respect to the issuance of its shares of Common Stock upon the redemption of
the Units (if it elects to issue such shares of Common Stock) to be issued to
Contributor pursuant to this Agreement, have been approved by the Board of
Directors of General Partner and require no further action or approval of its
directors or shareholders or of any other individuals or entities in order to
constitute this Agreement as a binding and enforceable obligation of General
Partner.
(b) FLLP is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the State of Delaware, and has full right, power and
authority to enter into this Agreement and to assume and perform all of its
obligations under this Agreement; and, the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the performance by FLLP of its obligations under this Agreement
have been approved by the Board of Directors of General Partner and require no
further action or approval of FLLP's partners or of any other individuals or
entities in order to constitute this Agreement as a binding and enforceable
obligation of FLLP.
(c) Neither the entry into nor the performance of, or compliance
with, this Agreement by either General Partner or FLLP has resulted, or will
result, in any violation of, or default under, or result in the acceleration
of, any obligation under any existing corporate charter, certificate of
incorporation, bylaws, certificate of limited partnership, partnership
agreement, mortgage, indenture, lien agreement, note, contract, permit,
judgment, decree, order, restrictive covenant, statute, rule or regulation
applicable to General Partner or FLLP.
(d) FLLP is acquiring the Contributed Assets for its own account and
not with a view to the distribution thereof within the meaning of Section 2(11)
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
(e) The Units, when issued, will have been duly and validly
authorized and issued, free of any preemptive or similar rights, and will be
fully paid and nonassessable, without any obligation to restore capital except
as required by the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act (the
"Delaware Act"). As a holder thereof, Contributor shall be admitted as a
limited partner of FLLP as of the Closing Date entitled to all of the rights
and protections of limited partners under the Delaware Act and the provisions
of the Partnership Agreement, with the same rights, preferences and privileges
as all existing limited partners on a pari passu basis. As of October
- 3 -
16, 2000, there were issued and outstanding 65,365,076 Units having
substantially equal rights with respect to all matters, including rights to
receive distributions and upon liquidation, and an aggregate of 6,088,100 units
having certain preferential rights with respect to the receipt of distributions
and upon liquidation. The shares of Common Stock for which the Units may be
redeemed have been validly authorized and will be duly and validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable, free of preemptive or similar rights.
(f) Each consent, approval, authorization, order, license,
certificate, permit, registration, designation or filing by or with any
governmental agency or body necessary for the (i) valid authorization,
issuance, sale and delivery of the Units, and (ii) the valid authorization,
issuance, sale and delivery of shares of Common Stock upon redemption of the
Units.
(g) Neither the issuance, sale and delivery by FLLP of the Units, nor
the issuance, sale and delivery by General Partner of the shares of Common
Stock upon redemption of the Units, will conflict with or result in a breach or
violation of any of the terms and provisions of, or (with or without the giving
of notice or passage of time or both) constitute a default under the
certificate of incorporation or bylaws of General Partner or the certificate of
limited partnership or the Partnership Agreement of FLLP; any indenture,
mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, note, lease or other agreement or
instrument to which General Partner or FLLP is a party or to which any of them,
any of their respective properties or other assets or any hotel is subject; or
any applicable statute, judgment, decree, rule or regulation of any court or
governmental agency or body applicable to any of the foregoing or any of their
respective properties; or result in the creation or imposition of any lien,
charge, claim or encumbrance upon any property or asset of General Partner or
FLLP.
(h) Attached hereto as Schedule 2.1(h) is a list of all of the
constituent documents comprising the Partnership Agreement, as amended and
supplemented to date, true and complete copies of all of which have been
delivered to Contributor.
(i) Waiver of Ownership Limit. General Partner acknowledge that,
pursuant to its Articles of Amendment and Restatement, as further amended and
supplemented (the "Charter"), no person or entity may beneficially own more
than 9.9% of the outstanding Common Stock (the "Ownership Limit") unless the
Board of Directors of General Partner waives compliance with such Ownership
Limit. General Partner further acknowledges that in connection with the
Stockholders Agreement, Contributor (together with its affiliates) received a
waiver of the Ownership Limit in connection with its ownership of shares of
Common Stock, including the Contributed Assets. General Partner hereby confirms
that in the event that Contributor exercises its right of redemption and
receives shares of Common Stock, the waiver previously granted to Contributor
and its affiliates shall continue to be applicable to the acquisition by
Contributor of such shares of Common Stock upon redemption of its Units;
provided, however, that the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock held by
Contributor and its affiliates following such redemption shall not exceed the
Initial Ownership of the Bass Parties as set forth in, and as those terms are
defined in, the Stockholders Agreement.
2.2 Representations by Contributor. Contributor hereby represents and
warrants unto FLLP that each and every one of the following statements is true,
correct and complete in every
- 4 -
material respect as of the date of this Agreement and will be true, correct and
complete as of the Closing Date:
(a) Contributor is duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and has full right, power and
authority to enter into this Agreement and to assume and perform all of its
obligations under this Agreement; and the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the performance by Contributor of its obligations under this
Agreement require no further action or approval of Contributor's shareholders,
directors, members, managers, trustees or partners (as the case may be) or of
any other individuals or entities in order to constitute this Agreement as a
binding and enforceable obligation of Contributor.
(b) Neither the entry into nor the performance of, or compliance
with, this Agreement by Contributor has resulted, or will result, in any
violation of, or default under, or result in the acceleration of, any
obligation under any existing corporate charter, certificate of incorporation,
bylaw, articles of organization, limited liability company agreement,
regulations, certificate of limited partnership, trust agreement, partnership
agreement, mortgage indenture, lien agreement, note, contract, permit,
judgment, decree, order, restrictive covenant, statute, rule or regulation
applicable to Contributor or to the Contributed Assets.
(c) (i) Contributor is the sole owner of the Contributed Assets, (ii)
Contributor has good title to the Contributed Assets, (iii) the Contributed
Assets are free and clear of any liens, encumbrances, pledges and security
interests whatsoever, and (iv) Contributor has not granted any other person or
entity an option to purchase or a right of first refusal upon the Contributed
Assets.
(d) No authorization, consent, approval, permit or license of, or
filing with, any governmental or public body or authority, or any other person
or entity is required to authorize, or is required in connection with, the
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or the agreements
contemplated hereby on the part of Contributor, other than for purposes of the
Stockholders Agreement, the approval of the Board of Directors of General
Partner of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(e) Contributor is familiar with the business and financial condition
of General Partner and FLLP, and is not relying upon any representations made
to it by General Partner, FLLP or any of the officers, employees or agents of
either of them that are not contained or referred to herein.
(f) Contributor is aware of the risks involved in making an
investment in the Units and in the Common Stock for which such Units may be
redeemable. Contributor has had an opportunity to ask questions of, and to
receive answers from, FLLP and General Partner, or a person or persons
authorized to act on their behalf, concerning the terms and conditions of this
investment and the financial condition, affairs and business of FLLP and
General Partner. Contributor confirms that all documents, records and
information pertaining to its investment in FLLP that have been requested by
it, including a complete copy of the Partnership Agreement as summarized in
Schedule 2.1(h) attached hereto, have been made available or delivered to it
prior to the date hereof.
- 5 -
(g) Contributor understands that neither the Units nor the shares of
Common Stock for which the Units may be redeemed have been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities acts and are
instead being offered and sold in reliance on an exemption from such
registration requirements. The Units for which Contributor hereby subscribes
are being acquired solely for its own account, for investment, and are not
being acquired with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any
distribution, subdivision or fractionalization thereof, in violation of such
laws, and (except as expressly set forth herein) Contributor has no present
intention to enter into any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement
with respect to any such resale. Contributor understands that the Units will
contain appropriate legends reflecting the requirement that the Units not be
resold by Contributor without registration under such laws or the availability
of an exemption from such registration.
(h) Contributor is an accredited investor as that term is defined in
Rule 501 of Regulation D of the SEC.
2.3 Restrictions on Subsequent Disposition of the Contributed Assets. FLLP
covenants and agrees that, until the earlier of seven (7) years from the date
hereof or the date that Contributor no longer owns at least 25% of the Units
issued to it pursuant to this Agreement, FLLP shall not sell, assign, transfer,
distribute or otherwise dispose (including taking any action that would result
in the recognition of a loss, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, by FLLP or
Contributor) of the Contributed Assets, without Contributor's prior written
consent.
