Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan

On July 14, 2004, the Board of Directors authorized MeriStar Hospitality to create a non-qualified deferred compensation plan (the Deferred
Plan) to provide MeriStar Hospitalitys senior executives with an opportunity to defer income beyond the statutory limit of MeriStar Hospitalitys 401(k) plan, receive matching benefits on par with the 401(k) plan, and defer all
forms of income, including salary, bonus, and certain stock grants. Prior to the creation of the Deferred Plan, executives having combined salary and bonus in excess of $205,000 were limited in their ability to contribute the requisite 6% of income
that is eligible for a match through the 401(k) plan. In addition, there existed no opportunity for senior executives to defer either bonus or equity compensation.

The purpose of the Deferred Plan is to both attract and retain highly qualified senior executives by providing a pre-tax investment opportunity that is widely available. The Deferred Plan provides executives otherwise
subject to IRS qualified plan limitations an opportunity to take advantage of the same matching terms available to all employees under the qualified 401 (k) plan. In order to take advantage of the match a participant must first maximize
participation in the qualified plan.

The Deferred Plan is designed to provide eligible participants with an opportunity to supplement
their retirement income through the deferral of pre-tax income. In addition, the Deferred Plan will offer certain eligible participants (specifically, those who, for any given year, receive compensation which is in excess of the statutory annual
limit on recognizable compensation under 401(k) plansi.e., $220,000 for 2006and who elect to contribute the maximum permissible amount to MeriStar Hospitalitys 401(k) plan for the year) the opportunity to receive
make-whole matching employer contributions under the Deferred Plan in order to make the participants whole for amounts the participants lose under the matching contribution feature of MeriStar Hospitalitys 401(k) plan, because of
the statutory annual limit on recognizable compensation under the 401(k) plan. Amounts so deferred by participants or contributed on behalf of participants are credited with deemed investment earnings and losses, based on the participants
choice of deemed investment options.

In addition to the right to defer pre-tax income into the Deferred Plan and to possibly receive
make-whole matching contribution credits, certain participants may also be given the opportunity to convert their equity interests in MeriStar Hospitalitys Common Stock (in the form of unvested restricted stock under the Incentive
Plan) to a credit under the Deferred Plan. Any equity interest which is converted into a credit under the Deferred Plan shall be credited with deemed investment earnings and losses on deemed MeriStar Hospitality Common Stock.

The Deferred Plan is a non-qualified deferred compensation plan. It is not qualified for favorable tax treatment under Section 401(a) of the
Internal Revenue Code. Amounts properly deferred under the Deferred Plan are not currently taxable to the participant. Compensation deferrals, MeriStar Hospitality make-whole matching contribution credits, equity conversion contributions
credits and earnings and losses thereon are taxable to the participant, as ordinary income, only when such amounts are actually paid to the participant. However, amounts deferred under the Deferred Plan are subject to FICA and Medicare taxes at the
time they are deferred (or, if later, at the time they become vested). MeriStar Hospitality receives no tax deduction for amounts credited to participants under the Deferred Plan until such amounts are actually paid to the participant or his or her
beneficiary. The Deferred Plan is a top-hat plan within the meaning of ERISA and, thus, is exempt from the coverage, funding, reporting, fiduciary duty, and other substantive provisions of ERISA. Claims under the Deferred Plan are,
however, subject to enforcement pursuant to the enforcement provisions of ERISA.

Participation in the Deferred Plan is limited to members
of the Board of Directors and a select group of MeriStar Hospitality management and highly compensated employees of MeriStar Hospitality. Initially, this latter group consisted of employees holding the title of Vice President or higher.
Participation in the Deferred Plan is voluntary. An individual shall cease to be eligible to participate actively in the Deferred Plan upon his or her termination of employment (or, for non-employee directors who participate, upon his or her
cessation of Board membership) or, if earlier, the date he or she ceases to be classified as an eligible individual.

Benefits provided
under the Deferred Plan are general unsecured obligations of MeriStar Hospitality. MeriStar Hospitality has established a rabbi trust to provide the benefits due under the



8



---

Deferred Plan (other than benefits payable in MeriStar Hospitality Common Stock); however, the assets of the rabbi trust
remain subject to the claims of MeriStar Hospitalitys creditors if MeriStar Hospitality were to become insolvent, be unable to pay its debts when due, or go into bankruptcy.

The Deferred Plan reduces any matching to the extent that an employee receives a match through MeriStar Hospitalitys 401(k) plan. Matching on the
overflow deferral is determined on the combined amount of base salary and bonus deferred by the employee. Equity deferral is not eligible for a matching contribution.

The Deferred Plan has no fixed expiration or termination date, but MeriStar Hospitality may terminate the Deferred Plan at any time. In addition, MeriStar Hospitality may suspend the Deferred Plan at any time, or may
terminate MeriStar Hospitalitys obligation to make further credits to participants accounts. If MeriStar Hospitality suspends the Deferred Plan, all aspects of the Deferred Plan (including payments under the Deferred Plan) will continue
during the period of suspension, other than deferrals and contributions to the Deferred Plan. If the Deferred Plan is terminated, no one who had not previously become a participant in the Deferred Plan would become a participant, and, if so
permitted under applicable law, the value of participants and beneficiaries interests in the Deferred Plan (after deduction of estimated expenses of liquidation) will be paid to them as soon as practicable after such termination. If, at
the time of any Deferred Plan termination, applicable law does not permit the immediate distribution of Deferred Plan interests, Deferred Plan interests will instead be made only after such interests become otherwise due under the terms of the
Deferred Plan. The Deferred Plan will terminate automatically upon the dissolution of MeriStar Hospitality or upon the merger into or consolidation of MeriStar Hospitality with another business, unless the corporation surviving such merger or
consolidation specifically adopts and agrees to continue the Deferred Plan.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

There are currently seven Independent Directors on MeriStar Hospitalitys Board of Directors. Independent Directors of MeriStar Hospitality are
compensated pursuant to the Directors Plan, which is described below. Independent Directors of MeriStar Hospitality will be paid an annual fee of $30,000. Each member of the Audit Committee will receive an additional annual fee of $2,500. Chairmen
of Board committees receive additional annual fees in the following amounts: Audit - $5,000; Compensation - $2,500; Investment - $2,500; and Nominating & Governance - $2,500. In addition, each Independent Director will be paid $1,250 for
attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors, $1,000 for attendance at each meeting of a committee of the Board of Directors of which such director is a member and $500 for each telephonic meeting of the Board of Directors or a committee
thereof of which such director is a member. Directors who are employees of MeriStar Hospitality will not receive any fees for their service on the Board of Directors or a committee thereof. MeriStar Hospitality will reimburse directors for their
out-of-pocket expenses in connection with their service on the Board of Directors.

Non-Employee Directors Incentive Plan

The purpose of the MeriStar Hospitality Corporation Non-Employee Directors Incentive Plan (the Directors Plan) is to attract experienced
and knowledgeable persons to serve as outside directors to MeriStar Hospitality.

Stock and Option Awards

Pursuant to the Directors Plan, each Independent Director is awarded an option to purchase 7,500 shares of MeriStar Hospitality Common Stock upon initial
commencement of service as a director, whether by appointment or election. Additionally, each Independent Director receives an annual grant of MeriStar Hospitality Common Stock having a value of $20,000 in the aggregate at the time of grant.

Common Stock in Lieu of Fees

Independent Directors may elect to receive all or a portion of their annual retainer in shares of MeriStar Hospitality Common Stock rather than cash. Unless an Independent Director elects otherwise, fees paid in shares of MeriStar
Hospitality Common Stock will be paid at the same time as fees paid in cash.

Share Authorization

The maximum aggregate number of shares of MeriStar Hospitality Common Stock that may be issued under the Directors Plan is the total of (i) 2% of the number of shares of MeriStar Hospitality Common Stock that
were outstanding as of the end of the immediately preceding calendar year (rounded downward if necessary to eliminate fractional shares); minus (ii) the number of shares subject to awards that were granted under the Directors Plan through the
last day of the immediately preceding calendar year; plus (iii) as of the last day of the immediately preceding calendar year, the number of shares with respect to which previously granted awards have expired or have been forfeited. The share
limitation and the terms of outstanding awards will be adjusted, as the MeriStar Hospitality Compensation Committee deems appropriate, in the event of a stock dividend, stock split, combination, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar
event.

Amendment and Termination

The
Directors Plan provides that the MeriStar Hospitality Board of Directors may amend or terminate the Directors Plan at any time. An amendment will not become effective without MeriStar Hospitality stockholder approval if the amendment
(i) materially increases the number of shares that may be issued under the Directors Plan or (ii) stockholder approval would be required for compliance with stock exchange rules. No options may be granted under the Directors Plan after
December 31, 2008.

The amount of the annual bonus is based on the achievement of predefined operating or performance goals
and other criteria to be established by the Compensation Committee of the MeriStar Hospitality Board of Directors. In 2005, MeriStar Hospitalitys Board of Directors, acting upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, authorized the
grant of annual incentive stock awards of MeriStar Hospitality under the MeriStar Hospitality Corporation Incentive Plan (Incentive Plan) equivalent in value to 50% of the annual cash bonus awarded. The number of shares will be
determined based on the stock price at the time at which they are paid.

Restricted Stock

At the discretion of the Compensation Committee of MeriStar Hospitality, Mr. Olinger is entitled to grants annually of a minimum of 15,000 and a
maximum of 40,000 shares of restricted MeriStar Hospitality Common Stock, vesting over three years. During the year ended December 31, 2005, no restricted MeriStar Hospitality Common Stock was granted to Mr. Olinger.

Long-Term Incentives

Each executive was granted a
long term incentive award under the Incentive Plan in 2004. The award pays out based on performance at the end of a three year performance cycle.

question, (ii) immediate vesting and exercisability of all unvested stock options and restricted stock awards and (iii) payment for one year of any other compensation due pursuant to his agreement.

Voluntary Termination Other than for Good Reason or Termination for Cause.Upon voluntary termination by the executive
other than for good reason or termination for cause by MeriStar Hospitality, each executive will receive the accrued and unpaid amount of his base salary through the termination date. Any unvested options will terminate
immediately, and any vested options held by the executive will expire 90 days after the termination date.

Termination Following a
Change in Control or Change in Employment Terms.If, within 24 months following a change in control, Mr. Whetsell voluntarily terminates his agreement for good reason, or MeriStar Hospitality terminates
his employment without cause, or if his agreement is not renewed by MeriStar Hospitality, Mr. Whetsell will be entitled to receive the following benefits: (i) a lump-sum payment equal to three and one-half times the sum of
(x) his annual base salary and (y) the

amount of his bonus for the preceding year, (ii) immediate vesting and exercisability of all unvested stock options
and restricted stock awards and (iii) the continuance of health insurance benefits, but only until the earlier of (x) one year from the end of the term of his agreement or (y) the date on which he obtains health insurance coverage
from a subsequent employer. In the case of either Mr. Wiles or Mr. Olinger, the executive would be entitled to the same type of benefits provided the termination occurred within 18 months of the Change in Control, except that his lump-sum
payment will be two times the sum of (x) his annual base salary and (y) the amount of his bonus for the preceding year. In the case of Mr. Kraisinger, he would be entitled to the same type of benefits provided the termination occurred
within 18 months of the Change in Control, except that his lump-sum payment will be one and one-half (11/2) times
the sum of (x) his annual base salary and (y) the amount of his bonus for the preceding year.

Change in Control
Payments.In the case of each executive, in the event that any accelerated vesting of his rights with respect to stock options, restricted stock or any other payment, benefit or compensation results in the imposition of an excise tax
payable by him under section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, or any successor or other provision with respect to excess parachute payments within the meaning of section 280G(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, MeriStar Hospitality will
make a cash payment to him in the amount of such excise tax (the Excise Tax Payment) and shall also make a cash payment to him in an amount equal to the total of federal, state and local income and excise taxes for which he may be liable
on account of such Excise Tax Payment.

Non-solicitation. Mr. Whetsell may not, during his employment and for a period
of 24 months thereafter, solicit, raid, entice or induce any person who then is, or at any time during the twelve-month period prior to the termination of his agreement, was an employee of MeriStar Hospitality or an affiliate of MeriStar Hospitality
(other than a person whose employment has been terminated) to become employed by any person, firm or corporation. Mr. Wiles, Mr. Olinger and Mr. Kraisinger may not, during his employment and for a period of 12 months thereafter,
solicit, raid, entice or induce any person who then is, or at any time during the twelve-month period prior to the termination of his agreement, was an employee of MeriStar Hospitality or an affiliate of MeriStar Hospitality (other than a person
whose employment has been terminated) to become employed by any person, firm or corporation.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Relationships among Officers and Directors

Prior to
March 31, 2004, Mr. Whetsell was an executive officer, director and stockholder of Interstate, manager of 44 of MeriStar Hospitalitys 47 currently owned hotels. On that date, Mr. Whetsell ceased to be an employee of Interstate.
He remains the non-executive Chairman of the Interstate Board of Directors. In fiscal 2005, MeriStar Hospitality paid an approximate aggregate amount of $23.3 million in management fees, termination fees, and miscellaneous operating expenses to
Interstate.

Mr. Crandall has direct or indirect ownership interests in various entities, which are partners in MIP Lessee, L.P.
MeriStar Investment Partners, L.P., an entity in which MeriStar Hospitality, through MHOP, has an ownership interest, is the general partner of MIP Lessee, L.P. MeriStar Hospitalitys Board of Directors has determined that this relationship is
not material for the purpose of determining Mr. Crandalls independence.

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, and fees billed for other services rendered by KPMG, LLP during those years.

MeriStar Hospitalitys Audit Committee evaluates and considers whether the services rendered
by KPMG, LLP, except for services rendered in connection with its audit of MeriStar Hospitality and our

---

annual consolidated financial statements and review of the quarterly consolidated financial statements, are compatible
with maintaining KPMGs independence pursuant to Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1.

MeriStar Hospitality and its Audit
Committee are committed to ensuring the independence of the independent auditors, both in fact and in appearance. In this regard, the Audit Committee has established a pre-approval policy in accordance with the applicable rules of the SEC. The
pre-approval policy (i) identifies specifically prohibited services by MeriStar Hospitality and our independent auditor; (ii) requires the annual review and approval of audit services, including the annual audit and quarterly reviews of
MeriStar Hospitality and our company as well as other audits required contractually; (iii) stipulates certain other audit-related services as pre-approved, including procedures performed in connection with issuing comfort letters
and activities associated with the research, application and interpretation of accounting standards as well as those related to the SECs review of MeriStar Hospitality and our securities regulatory filings; and (iv) requires the annual
review and approval of certain non-audit services once they exceed specified monetary levels, including acquisition and disposition assistance, income tax preparation, income tax consulting, and REIT compliance testing. The Audit Committee has
relied on the pre-approval policy to approve all of the services listed above. Any other non-audit services than those specifically noted require pre-approval of the full Audit Committee, unless otherwise delegated to the chairman or other committee
member.
