Trustee (the “Trustee”)
and as Collateral Agent (the “Collateral
Agent”). 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 secured obligations of FelCor LP.
5. Redemption.
Except as
provided below, FelCor LP may not redeem any of the Notes prior to October 1,
2014.
At any
time and from time to time prior to October 1, 2014, FelCor LP and FelCor may,
at their option, redeem all or a portion of the Notes at a redemption price
equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the Applicable Premium with
respect to the notes plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest,
if any, thereon to the redemption date. Notice of such redemption must be mailed
to holders of the notes called for redemption not less than 15 nor more than 60
days prior to the redemption date.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, at any time, or from time to time, on or prior to October 1,
2012, 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 110% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued
and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, 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 out-standing 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 15 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

thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (the
“Change of Control
Payment”).
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.
A-5
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.

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

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, the Notes or the Collateral Documents may
be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a
majority in principal amount of the Notes then out-standing, 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.

Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of FelCor LP, FelCor and
their respective Restricted Subsidiaries, among other things, to Incur
additional Indebtedness, make Restricted Payments, use the proceeds from

Indenture.
You are
entitled to rely upon this letter and are irrevocably authorized to produce this

Dear
Sirs:
In
connection with our proposed purchase of $____________ aggregate principal
amount at maturity of the Notes, we confirm that:
1. We
understand that any subsequent transfer of the Notes is subject to certain
restrictions and conditions set forth in the Indenture dated as of October 1,
2009, relating to the Notes (the “Indenture”) and the
undersigned agrees to be bound by, and not to resell, pledge or otherwise
transfer the Notes except in compliance with, such restrictions and conditions
and the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”).
2. We
understand that the offer and sale of the Notes have not been registered under
the Securities Act, and that the Notes may not be offered or sold except as
permitted in the following sentence. We agree, on our own behalf and
on behalf of any accounts for which we are acting as hereinafter stated, that if
we should sell any Notes, we will do so only (A) to FelCor LP, FelCor or any
subsidiary thereof, (B) in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities
Act to a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined therein), (C) to an
institutional “accredited investor” (as defined below) that, prior to such
transfer, furnishes (or has furnished on its behalf by a U.S. broker-dealer) to
you a signed letter substantially in the form of this letter, and, if this
letter relates to a proposed transfer in respect of an aggregate principal
amount of Notes less than $100,000, an opinion of counsel acceptable to FelCor
LP and FelCor that such transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act, (D)
outside the United States in accordance with Rule 904 of Regulation S under the
Securities Act, (E) pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule
144 under the Securities Act (if available), or (F) pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act, and we further agree to provide
to any person purchasing any of the Notes from us a notice advising such
purchaser that resales of the Notes are restricted as stated
herein.
3. We
understand that, on any proposed resale of any Notes, we will
be required to furnish to you such certifications, legal opinions and
other information as you may reasonably require to confirm that the proposed
sale complies with the foregoing restrictions. We further understand
that the Notes purchased by us will bear a legend to the foregoing
effect.
4. We
are an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2),
(3) or (7) of Regulation D under the Securities Act) and have such knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the
merits and risks of our investment in the Notes, and we and any accounts for
which we are acting are each able to bear the economic risk of our or its
investment.
5. We
are acquiring the Notes purchased by us for our own account or for one or more
accounts (each of which is an institutional “accredited investor”) as to each of
which we exercise sole investment discretion.
You are
entitled to rely upon this letter and are irrevocably authorized to produce this
letter or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal
proceedings or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered
hereby.
