                         EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT
                            AS AMENDED AND RESTATED


     This AMENDED AND RESTATED EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is
made as of the 19th day of April, 1999, between Wyndham International, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and Anne L. Raymond ("Executive").

     WHEREAS, Executive is currently employed by the Company in a senior
executive capacity;

     WHEREAS, the Company desires to continue to employ Executive and Executive
desires to continue to be employed by the Company;

     WHEREAS, the Company and Executive desire to amend and restate Executive's
existing Executive Employment Agreement with the Company to make certain changes
therein and to eliminate the requirement of an escrow arrangement upon a Change
in Control of the Company;

     WHEREAS, the Company and Executive acknowledge that regardless of the
provisions of Paragraph 8 of this amended and restated Agreement, upon the
closing of the Securities Purchase Agreement by and among Patriot American
Hospitality, Inc., Wyndham International, Inc., Patriot American Hospitality,
L.P. and the Investors named therein, all options and other stock-based awards
granted to Executive prior to the date of this Agreement shall immediately
accelerate and become exercisable or non-forfeitable as of such date;

     WHEREAS, as an additional inducement to Executive to enter into this
amended and restated Agreement, the Company shall, on the Commencement Date (as
hereinafter defined), grant Executive an option to purchase a certain number of
Paired Shares of common stock of the Company and of common stock of Patriot
American Hospitality, Inc. as set forth in the agreement attached hereto as
Exhibit A (the "Option") and to enter into a new promissory note attached hereto
as Exhibit B (the "Note"); and

     WHEREAS, Executive is desirous of committing to serve the Company on the
terms herein provided.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements
herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1.  Employment. The term of this Agreement shall extend from the date hereof
(the "Commencement Date") until the third anniversary of the Commencement Date;
provided, however, that the term of this Agreement shall automatically be
extended for one additional year on the third anniversary of the Commencement
Date and each anniversary thereafter unless, not less than 90 days prior to each
such date, either party shall have given notice to the other that it does not
wish to extend this Agreement; provided, further, that if a Change in
<PAGE>

Control occurs during the original or extended term of this Agreement, the term
of this Agreement shall continue in effect for a period of not less than
eighteen (18) months beyond the month in which the Change in Control occurred.
The term of this Agreement shall be subject to termination as provided in
Paragraph 6 and may be referred to herein as the "Period of Employment."

2.  Position and Duties. During the Period of Employment, Executive shall serve
as an Executive Vice President and Chief Investment Officer of the Company,
shall have supervision and control over and responsibility for the day-to-day
business and affairs of those functions and operations of the Company and shall
have such other powers and duties as may from time to time be prescribed by the
Chairman of the Board of the Company (the "Chairman") or the Chief Executive
Officer of the Company (the "CEO") or other executive authorized by the Chairman
or CEO, provided that such duties are consistent with Executive's position or
other positions that he may hold from time to time. Executive shall devote his
full working time and efforts to the business and affairs of the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive may serve on other boards of directors,
with the approval of the Chairman or CEO, or engage in religious, charitable or
other community activities as long as such services and activities are disclosed
to the Chairman or CEO and do not materially interfere with Executive's
performance of his duties to the Company as provided in this Agreement.

3.   Compensation and Related Matters.

     (a) Base Salary and Incentive Compensation. Executive's initial annual base
salary ("Base Salary") shall be $325,000.00. Effective July 1, 1999, Base Salary
shall be adjusted to $350,000.00. Executive's Base Salary shall be redetermined
at least thirty (30) days before each annual compensation determination date
established by the Company during the Period of Employment in an amount to be
fixed by the Board of Directors of the Company or a Committee thereof or a duly
authorized officer (the "Board"). The Base Salary, as redetermined, may be
referred to herein as "Adjusted Base Salary." The Base Salary or Adjusted Base
Salary shall be payable in substantially equal bi-weekly installments and shall
in no way limit or reduce the obligations of the Company hereunder. In addition
to Base Salary or Adjusted Base Salary, Executive shall be eligible to receive
cash incentive compensation as determined by the Board from time to time, and
shall also be eligible to participate in such incentive compensation plans as
the Board shall determine from time to time for employees of the same status
within the hierarchy of the Company.

     (b) Expenses. Executive shall be entitled to receive prompt reimbursement
for all reasonable expenses incurred by him (in accordance with the policies and
procedures then in effect and established by the Company for its senior
executive officers) in performing services hereunder during the Period of
Employment, provided that Executive properly accounts therefor in accordance
with Company policy.

     (c) Other Benefits. During the Period of Employment, Executive shall be
entitled to continue to participate in or receive benefits under all of the
Company's Employee Benefit

                                       2
<PAGE>

Plans in effect on the date hereof, or under plans or arrangements that provide
Executive with at least substantially equivalent benefits to those provided
under such Employee Benefit Plans. As used herein, "Employee Benefit Plans"
include, without limitation, each pension and retirement plan; supplemental
pension, retirement and deferred compensation plan; savings and profit-sharing
plan; stock ownership plan; stock purchase plan; stock option plan; life
insurance plan; medical insurance plan; disability plan; and health and accident
plan or arrangement established and maintained by the Company on the date hereof
for employees of the same status within the hierarchy of the Company. To the
extent that the scope or nature of benefits described in this section are
determined under the policies of the Company based in whole or in part on the
seniority or tenure of an employee's service, Executive shall be deemed to have
a tenure with the Company equal to the actual time of Executive's service with
Company. During the Period of Employment, Executive shall be entitled to
participate in or receive benefits under any employee benefit plan or
arrangement which may, in the future, be made available by the Company to its
executives and key management employees, subject to and on a basis consistent
with the terms, conditions and overall administration of such plan or
arrangement. Any payments or benefits payable to Executive under a plan or
arrangement referred to in this Subparagraph 3(c) in respect of any calendar
year during which Executive is employed by the Company for less than the whole
of such year shall, unless otherwise provided in the applicable plan or
arrangement, be prorated in accordance with the number of days in such calendar
year during which he is so employed. Should any such payments or benefits accrue
on a fiscal (rather than calendar) year, then the proration in the preceding
sentence shall be on the basis of a fiscal year rather than calendar year.

     (d) Life Insurance. The Company shall pay the premiums on, and maintain in
effect throughout the Period of Employment, a life insurance policy on the life
of Executive in an amount not less than the amount of Executive's then current
Base Salary or Adjusted Base Salary. Executive shall have the right to designate
the beneficiary under such policy.

     (e) Vacations. Executive shall be entitled to the number of paid vacation
days in each calendar year determined by the Company from time to time for
executives at the same level as Executive. Executive shall also be entitled to
all paid holidays given by the Company to its executives. To the extent that the
scope or nature of benefits described in this section are determined under the
policies of the Company based in whole or in part on the seniority or tenure of
an employee's service, Executive shall be deemed to have a tenure with the
Company equal to the actual time of Executive's service with Company.

     (f) Disability Insurance. The Company shall pay the premiums on, and
maintain in effect through the Period of Employment, long-term disability
insurance providing for payment of benefits at rates not less than sixty percent
(60%) of Executive's current Base Salary or Adjusted Base Salary.

     (g) Tax Loan. Upon the maturity of the Note, if Executive is still employed
by the Company, the Company shall provide Executive with a loan (the "Tax Loan")
in an amount sufficient to enable Executive to pay taxes due upon the maturity
of the Note. The Tax Loan

                                       3
<PAGE>

shall (i) be personal recourse, (ii) have a term of four (4) years, (iii) bear
interest at (a) six percent (6%) per annum, compounded annually from the date of
making the Tax Loan through April 18, 2002 and (b) from and after April 19,
2002, shall be at the Company's revolver interest rate, and (iv) require
Executive to prepay with fifty percent (50%) of the net after-tax proceeds of
the sale of any shares of stock of the Company acquired through option exercises
and with twenty-five percent (25%) of the net after-tax amount of any bonus
payment from the Company.

4.   Unauthorized Disclosure.

     (a) Confidential Information. Executive acknowledges that in the course of
his employment with the Company (and, if applicable, its predecessors), he has
been allowed to become, and will continue to be allowed to become, acquainted
with the Company's business affairs, information, trade secrets, and other
matters which are of a proprietary or confidential nature, including but not
limited to the Company's and its predecessors' operations, business
opportunities, price and cost information, finance, customer information,
business plans, various sales techniques, manuals, letters, notebooks,
procedures, reports, products, processes, services, and other confidential
information and knowledge (collectively the "Confidential Information")
concerning the Company's and its predecessors' business. The Company agrees to
provide on an ongoing basis such Confidential Information as the Company deems
necessary or desirable to aid Executive in the performance of his duties.
Executive understands and acknowledges that such Confidential Information is
confidential, and he agrees not to disclose such Confidential Information to
anyone outside the Company except to the extent that (i) Executive deems such
disclosure or use reasonably necessary or appropriate in connection with
performing his duties on behalf of the Company, (ii) Executive is required by
order of a court of competent jurisdiction (by subpoena or similar process) to
disclose or discuss any Confidential Information, provided that in such case,
Executive shall promptly inform the Company of such event, shall cooperate with
the Company in attempting to obtain a protective order or to otherwise restrict
such disclosure, and shall only disclose Confidential Information to the minimum
extent necessary to comply with any such court order; (iii) such Confidential
Information becomes generally known to and available for use by the hotel and
hospitality industry (the "Hotel Industry"), other than as a result of any
action or inaction by Executive; or (iv) such information has been rightfully
received by a member of the Hotel Industry or has been published in a form
generally available to the Hotel Industry prior to the date Executive proposes
to disclose or use such information. Executive further agrees that he will not
during employment and/or at any time thereafter use such Confidential
Information in competing, directly or indirectly, with the Company. At such time
as Executive shall cease to be employed by the Company, he will immediately turn
over to the Company all Confidential Information, including papers, documents,
writings, electronically stored information, other property, and all copies of
them provided to or created by him during the course of his employment with the
Company.

                                       4
<PAGE>

     (b) Heirs, successors, and legal representatives. The foregoing provisions
of this Paragraph 4 shall be binding upon Executive's heirs, successors, and
legal representatives. The provisions of this Paragraph 4 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement for any reason.

5.   Covenant Not to Compete. In consideration for the Option and the Loan and
for Executive' s employment by the Company under the terms provided in this
Agreement and as a means to aid in the performance and enforcement of the terms
of the Unauthorized Disclosure provisions of Paragraph 4, Executive agrees that

     (a) during the term of Executive's employment with the Company and for a
period of twenty-four (24) months thereafter, regardless of the reason for
termination of employment, Executive will not, directly or indirectly, as an
owner, director, principal, agent, officer, employee, partner, consultant,
servant, or otherwise, carry on, operate, manage, control, or become involved in
any manner with any business, operation, corporation, partnership, association,
agency, or other person or entity which is in the business of owning, operating,
managing or granting franchise rights with respect to hotels, motels or other
lodging facilities in any area or territory in which the Company conducts
operations; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit Executive
from owning up to one percent (1%) of the outstanding stock of a publicly held
company engaged in the hospitality business. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Executive shall be permitted to engage in such activities with respect to any
other hotel, motel or lodging facility that would be immaterial to the
operations of the Company in the area or territory in question. Immateriality,
for purposes of the foregoing sentence, shall be determined in the sole
discretion of the Board in good faith.

     (b) during the term of Executive's employment with the Company and for a
period of twenty-four (24) months thereafter, regardless of the reason for
termination of employment, Executive will not, directly or indirectly, either
for himself or for any other business, operation, corporation, partnership,
association, agency, or other person or entity, call upon, compete for, solicit,
divert, or take away, or attempt to divert or take away any of the customers
(including, without limitation, any hotel owner, lessor or lessee, asset
manager, trustee, consumer with whom the Company from time to time (i) has an
existing agreement or business relationship; or (ii) has included as a prospect
in its applicable pipeline) or vendors of the Company in any of the areas or
territories in which the Company conducts operations if such action has the
intent or effect of interfering with the Company's relationship with the vendor
or customer.

     (c) during the term of Executive's employment with the Company and for a
period of twenty-four (24) months thereafter, regardless of the reason for
termination of employment, Executive will not directly or indirectly solicit or
induce any present or future employee of the Company to accept employment with
Executive or with any business, operation, corporation, partnership,
association, agency, or other person or entity with which Executive may be
associated, and Executive will not employ or cause any business, operation,
corporation, partnership, association, agency, or other person or entity with
which Executive may be

                                       5
<PAGE>

associated to employ any present or future employee of the Company without
providing the Company with ten (10) days' prior written notice of such proposed
employment.

     Should Executive violate the provisions of this Paragraph, then in addition
to all other rights and remedies available to the Company at law or in equity,
the duration of this covenant shall automatically be extended for the period of
time from which Executive began such violation until he permanently ceases such
violation.

6.   Termination. Executive's employment hereunder may be terminated without any
breach of this Agreement under the following circumstances:

     (a) Death. Executive's employment hereunder shall terminate upon his death.

     (b) Disability. If, as a result of Executive's incapacity due to physical
or mental illness, Executive shall have been absent from his duties hereunder on
a full-time basis for one hundred eighty (180) calendar days in the aggregate in
any twelve (12) month period, the Company may terminate Executive's employment
hereunder.

     (c) Termination by Company For Cause. At any time during the Period of
Employment, the Company may terminate Executive's employment hereunder for Cause
if such termination is approved by not less than a majority of the Board of
Directors of the Company at a meeting of such Board of Directors called and held
for such purpose. For purposes of this Agreement "Cause" shall mean: (A) conduct
by Executive constituting a material act of willful misconduct in connection
with the performance of his duties, including, without limitation,
misappropriation of funds or property of the Company or any of its affiliates
other than the occasional, customary and de minimis use of Company property for
personal purposes; (B) criminal or civil conviction of Executive, a plea of nob
contendere by Executive or conduct by Executive that would reasonably be
expected to result in material injury to the reputation of the Company if he
were retained in his position with the Company, including, without limitation,
conviction of a felony involving moral turpitude; (C) continued, willful and
deliberate non-performance by Executive of his duties hereunder (other than by
reason of Executive's physical or mental illness, incapacity or disability) and
such non-performance has continued for more than thirty (30) days following
written notice of such non-performance from the Board; (D) a breach by Executive
of any of the provisions contained in Paragraphs 4 and 5 of this Agreement; or
(E) a violation by Executive of the Company's employment policies and such
violation has continued following written notice of such violation from the
Board.

     (d) Termination Without Cause. At any time during the Period of Employment,
the Company may terminate Executive's employment hereunder without Cause if such
termination is approved by a majority of the Board at a meeting of the Board
called and held for such purpose. Any termination by the Company of Executive's
employment under this Agreement which does not constitute a termination for
Cause under Subparagraph 6(c) or result from the death or disability of the
Executive under Subparagraph 6(a) or (b) shall be

                                       6
<PAGE>

deemed a termination without Cause. If the Company provides notice to the
Executive under Paragraph 1 that it does not wish to extend the Period of
Employment, such action shall be deemed a termination without Cause.

     (e) Termination by Executive. At any time during the Period of Employment,
Executive may terminate his employment hereunder for any reason, including but
not limited to Good Reason. If Executive provides notice to the Company under
Paragraph 1 that he does not wish to extend the Period of Employment, such
action shall be deemed a voluntary termination by Executive and one without Good
Reason. For purposes of this Agreement, "Good Reason" shall mean that Executive
has complied with the "Good Reason Process" (hereinafter defined) following the
occurrence of any of the following events: (A) a substantial diminution or other
substantive adverse change, not consented to by Executive, in the nature or
scope of Executive's responsibilities, authorities, powers, functions or duties,
other than a change in Executive's position or reporting relationship; (B) any
removal, during the Period of Employment, from Executive of his title of
Executive Vice President; (C) an involuntary reduction in Executive's Base
Salary or Adjusted Base Salary or involuntary reduction in cash incentive
compensation plan (but not reduction in incentive compensation appropriate for
level of performance) except for across-the-board salary reductions similarly
affecting all or substantially all management employees; (D) a breach by the
Company of any of its other material obligations under this Agreement and the
failure of the Company to cure such breach within thirty (30) days after written
notice thereof by Executive; (E) the involuntary relocation of the Company's
offices at which Executive is principally employed or the involuntary relocation
of the offices of Executive's primary workgroup to a location more than thirty
(30) miles from such offices (other than a relocation in either event to Dallas,
Texas), or the requirement by the Company for Executive to be based anywhere
other than the Company's offices at such location or in Dallas, Texas on an
extended basis, except for required travel on the Company's business to an
extent substantially consistent with Executive's business travel obligations; or
(F) the requirement that Executive report to a person who is below the level of
an Executive Vice President. "Good Reason Process" shall mean that (i) the
Executive reasonably determines in good faith that a "Good Reason" event has
occurred; (ii) Executive notifies the Company in writing of the occurrence of
the Good Reason event; (iii) Executive cooperates in good faith with the
Company's efforts, for a period not less than ninety (90) days following such
notice, to modify Executive's employment situation in a manner acceptable to
Executive and Company; and (iv) notwithstanding such efforts, one or more of the
Good Reason events continues to exist and has not been modified in a manner
acceptable to Executive. If the Company cures the Good Reason event during the
ninety (90) day period, Good Reason shall be deemed not to have occurred.

     (f) Notice of Termination. Except for termination as specified in
Subparagraph 6(a), any termination of Executive's employment by the Company or
any such termination by Executive shall be communicated by written Notice of
Termination to the other party hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Notice
of Termination" shall mean a notice which shall indicate the specific
termination provision in this Agreement relied upon.

                                       7
<PAGE>

     (g) Date of Termination. "Date of Termination" shall mean: (A) if
Executive's employment is terminated by his death, the date of his death; (B) if
Executive's employment is terminated on account of disability under Subparagraph
6(b) or by the Company for Cause under Subparagraph 6(c), the date on which
Notice of Termination is given; (C) if Executive's employment is terminated by
the Company under Subparagraph 6(d), sixty (60) days after the date on which a
Notice of Termination is given; and (D) if Executive's employment is terminated
by Executive under Subparagraph 6(e), thirty (30) days after the date on which a
Notice of Termination is given.

7.   Compensation Upon Termination or During Disability.

     (a) If Executive's employment terminates by reason of his death, the
Company shall, within ninety (90) days of death, pay in a lump sum amount to
such person as Executive shall designate in a notice filed with the Company or,
if no such person is designated, to Executive's estate, Executive's accrued and
unpaid Base Salary or, if applicable, his Adjusted Base Salary, to the date of
his death, plus his accrued and unpaid incentive compensation, if any, under
Subparagraph 3(a). For a period of one (1) year following the Date of
Termination, the Company shall pay such health insurance premiums as may be
necessary to allow Executive's spouse and dependents to receive health insurance
coverage substantially similar to coverage they received prior to the Date of
Termination. In addition to the foregoing, any payments to which Executive's
spouse, beneficiaries, or estate may be entitled under any employee benefit plan
shall also be paid in accordance with the terms of such plan or arrangement.
Such payments, in the aggregate, shall fully discharge the Company's obligations
hereunder.

     (b) During any period that Executive fails to perform his duties hereunder
as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental illness, Executive shall
continue to receive his accrued and unpaid Base Salary or, if applicable, his
Adjusted Base Salary and accrued and unpaid incentive compensation payments, if
any, under Subparagraph 3(a), until Executive's employment is terminated due to
disability in accordance with Subparagraph 6(b) or until Executive terminates
his employment in accordance with Subparagraph 6(e), whichever first occurs. For
a period of one (1) year following the Date of Termination, the Company shall
pay such health insurance premiums as may be necessary to allow Executive,
Executive's spouse and dependents to receive health insurance coverage
substantially similar to coverage they received prior to the Date of
Termination. Upon termination due to death prior to the termination first to
occur as specified in the preceding sentence, Subparagraph 7(a) shall apply.

     (c) If Executive's employment is terminated by Executive other than for
Good Reason as provided in Subparagraph 6(e), then the Company shall, through
the Date of Termination, pay Executive his accrued and unpaid Base Salary or, if
applicable, his Adjusted Base Salary at the rate in effect at the time Notice of
Termination is given. Thereafter, the Company shall have no further obligations
to Executive except as otherwise expressly provided under this Agreement,
provided any such termination shall not adversely affect or alter Executive's
rights under any employee benefit plan of the Company in which Executive, at the

                                       8
<PAGE>

Date of Termination, has a vested interest, unless otherwise provided in such
employee benefit plan or any agreement or other instrument attendant thereto.

     (d) If Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason as provided in
Subparagraph 6(e) or if Executive's employment is terminated by the Company
without Cause as provided in Subparagraph 6(d), then the Company shall, through
the Date of Termination, pay Executive his accrued and unpaid Base Salary or, if
applicable, his Adjusted Base Salary at the rate in effect at the time Notice of
Termination is given and his accrued and unpaid incentive compensation, if any,
under Subparagraph 3(a). In addition, subject to signing by Executive of a
general release of claims in a form and manner satisfactory to the Company,

         (i)   the Company shall continue Executive's compensation at a rate
     equal to the sum of Executive's Average Base Salary and his Average
     Incentive Compensation payable for the remaining length of the Period of
     Employment after the Date of Termination (the "Severance Amount"), but in
     no event for fewer than twenty-four (24) months. The Severance Amount shall
     be paid out in substantially equal bi-weekly installments, in arrears;
     provided, however, that in the event Executive commences any employment
     during such period, the Company shall be entitled to set-off against the
     remaining Severance Amount seventy-five percent (75%) of the amount of any
     cash compensation received by Executive from the new employer. From time to
     time, Executive may be asked to certify to the Company that he has not
     accepted employment with a new employer (including, without limitation,
     contract and consulting agreements). For purposes of this Agreement,
     "Average Base Salary" shall mean the average of the annual Base Salary or,
     if applicable, Adjusted Base Salary received by Executive for each of the
     three (3) immediately preceding fiscal years or such fewer number of
     complete fiscal years as Executive may have been employed by the Company.
     For purposes of this Agreement, "Average Incentive Compensation" shall mean
     the average of the annual incentive compensation under Subparagraph 3(a)
     received by Executive for the three (3) immediately preceding fiscal years
     or such fewer number of complete fiscal years as Executive may have been
     employed by the Company. In no event shall "Average Incentive Compensation"
     include any sign-on bonus, retention bonus or any other special bonus.
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive breaches any of the
     provisions contained in Paragraphs 4 and 5 of this Agreement, all payments
     of the Severance Amount shall immediately cease. Notwithstanding the
     foregoing, in the event Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason
     as provided in Subparagraph 6(e), he shall be entitled to the Severance
     Amount only if he provides the Notice of Termination provided for in
     Subparagraph 6(f) within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of the event
     or events which constitute such Good Reason as specified in clauses (A),
     (B), (C), (D) (E) and (F) of Subparagraph 6(e);

         (ii)  in addition to any other benefits to which Executive may be
     entitled in accordance with the Company's then existing severance policies,
     the Company shall, for a period of one (1) year commencing on the Date of
     Termination, pay such health

                                       9
<PAGE>

     insurance premiums as may be necessary to allow Executive, Executive's
     spouse and dependents to continue to receive health insurance coverage
     substantially similar to the coverage they received prior to his
     termination of employment.

     (e) If Executive's employment is terminated by the Company for Cause as
provided in Subparagraph 6(c), then the Company shall, through the Date of
Termination, pay Executive his accrued and unpaid Base Salary or, if applicable,
his Adjusted Base Salary at the rate in effect at the time Notice of Termination
is given. Thereafter, the Company shall have no further obligations to Executive
except as otherwise expressly provided under this Agreement, provided any such
termination shall not adversely affect or alter Executive's rights under any
employee benefit plan of the Company in which Executive, at the Date of
Termination, has a vested interest, unless otherwise provided in such employee
benefit plan or any agreement or other instrument attendant thereto.

     (f) Regardless of the reason for termination, for a period of five (5)
years beginning on the Date of Termination, the Company will provide such
reasonable assistance and support to Executive as he shall reasonably require in
connection with the preparation and filing of tax returns, statements and forms
insofar as such returns, statements or forms relate to Executive's association
with the Company or any of its predecessors or affiliates. At the Company's
election, such assistance and support shall be provided by either tax personnel
from the Company or certified public accountants selected and compensated by the
Company.

     (g) Nothing contained in the foregoing Subparagraphs 7(a) through 7(f)
shall be construed so as to affect Executive's rights or the Company's
obligations relating to agreements or benefits which are unrelated to
termination of employment.

8.   Change in Control Payment. The provisions of this Paragraph 8 set forth
certain terms of an agreement reached between Executive and the Company
regarding Executive's rights and obligations upon the occurrence of a Change in
Control of the Company. These provisions are intended to assure and encourage in
advance Executive's continued attention and dedication to his assigned duties
and his objectivity during the pendency and after the occurrence of any such
event. These provisions shall apply in lieu of, and expressly supersede, the
provisions of Subparagraph 7(d)(i) regarding severance pay upon a termination of
employment, if such termination of employment occurs within eighteen (18) months
after the occurrence of the first event constituting a Change of Control;
provided that such first event occurs during the Period of Employment. These
provisions shall terminate and be of no further force or effect beginning
eighteen (18) months after the occurrence of a Change of Control.

     (a)  Change in Control.

          (i)   If within eighteen (18) months after the occurrence of the first
     event constituting a Change in Control, Executive's employment is
     terminated by the Company without Cause as provided in Subparagraph 6(d) or
     Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason as provided in
     Subparagraph 6(e), then the Company shall pay Executive the Severance
     Amount as provided in Subparagraph 7(d)(i) in

                                       10
<PAGE>

     substantially bi-weekly installments, in arrears, over twenty-four (24)
     months. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Executive breaches any of the
     provisions contained in Paragraphs 4 and 5 of this Agreement, all payments
     of the Severance Amount shall immediately cease; and

          (ii)  Within fifteen (15) days after Executive becomes entitled to
     receive the Severance Amount under (i) above, the Company shall place funds
     in an amount equal to the estimated Severance Amount in escrow, pursuant to
     arrangements that are mutually acceptable to the Company and Executive (the
     "Escrow Arrangement"). The Escrow Arrangement shall be maintained until the
     final installment payment of the Severance Amount has been made;

          (iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any applicable
     option agreement or stock-based award agreement, if Executive terminates
     his employment for Good Reason as provided in Subparagraph 6(e) or if
     Executive's employment is terminated by the Company without Cause as
     provided in Subparagraph 6(d) within eighteen (18) months of a Change in
     Control, all stock options and other stock-based awards granted to
     Executive by the Company shall immediately accelerate and become
     exercisable or non-forfeitable as of the Date of Termination, and Executive
     shall have 360 days to exercise all his stock options. Executive shall also
     be entitled to any other rights and benefits with respect to stock-related
     awards, to the extent and upon the terms provided in the employee stock
     option or incentive plan or any agreement or other instrument attendant
     thereto pursuant to which such options or awards were granted; and

          (iv)  The Company shall, for a period of one (1) year commencing on
     the Date of Termination, pay such health insurance premiums as may be
     necessary to allow Executive, Executive's spouse and dependents to continue
     to receive health insurance coverage substantially similar to the coverage
     they received prior to his termination of employment.

     (b)  Gross Up Payment.

          (i)   Excess Parachute Payment. If Executive incurs the tax (the
     "Excise Tax") imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986
     (the "Code") on "excess parachute payments" within the meaning of Section
     280G(b)(1) of the Code, the Company will pay to Executive an amount (the
     "Gross Up Payment") such that the net amount retained by Executive, after
     deduction of any Excise Tax on the excess parachute payment and any
     federal, state and local income taxes and employment taxes (together with
     penalties and interest) and Excise Tax upon the payment provided for by
     this Subparagraph 8(c)(i), will be equal to the Severance Amount.

          (ii)  Applicable Rates. For purposes of determining the amount of the
     Gross Up Payment, Executive will be deemed to pay federal income taxes at
     the highest

                                       11
<PAGE>

     marginal rate of federal income taxation in the calendar year in which the
     Gross Up Payment is to be made and state and local income taxes at the
     highest marginal rates of taxation in the state and locality of Executive's
     residence on the date of Executive's Termination, net of the maximum
     reduction in federal income taxes that could be obtained from deduction of
     such state and local taxes.

          (iii) Detennination of Gross Up Payment Amount. The determination of
     whether the Excise Tax is payable and the amount thereof will be based upon
     the opinion of tax counsel selected by Executive and approved by the
     Company, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld. If such opinion
     is not finally accepted by the Internal Revenue Service (or state and local
     taxing authorities), then appropriate adjustments to the Excise Tax will be
     computed and additional Gross Up Payments will be made in the manner
     provided by this Subparagraph (c).

          (iv)  Time For Payment. The Company will pay the estimated amount of
     the Gross Up Payment in cash to Executive at such time or times when the
     Excise Tax is due. Executive and the Company agree to reasonably cooperate
     in the determination of the actual amount of the Gross Up Payment. Further,
     Executive and the Company agree to make such adjustments to the estimated
     amount of the Gross Up Payment as may be necessary to equal the actual
     amount of the Gross Up Payment, which in the case of Executive will refer
     to refunds of prior overpayments and in the case of the Company will refer
     to makeup of prior underpayments.

     (c)  Definitions. For purposes of this Paragraph 8, the following terms
shall have the following meanings:

          "Change in Control" shall mean any of the following:

          (a) the acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the
     meaning of Section 1 3(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) (the
     "Acquiring Person"), other than the Company, or any of its Subsidiaries or
     any Investor or Excluded Group, of beneficial ownership (within the meaning
     of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 35% or more of the
     combined voting power or economic interests of the then outstanding voting
     securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of
     directors; provided, however, that any transfer from any Investor or
     Excluded Group will not result in a Change in Control if such transfer was
     part of a series of related transactions the effect of which, absent the
     transfer to such Acquiring Person by the Investor or Excluded Group, would
     not have resulted in the acquisition by such Acquiring Person of 35% or
     more of the combined voting power or economic interests of the then
     outstanding voting securities; or

          (b) during any period of 12 consecutive months after the Issuance
     Date, the individuals who at the beginning of any such 12-month period
     constituted a majority of the Class A Directors and Class C Directors (the
     "Incumbent Non-Investor Majority")

                                       12
<PAGE>

     cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of such Class A
     Directors and Class C Directors; provided that (i) any individual becoming
     a director whose election, or nomination for election by the Company's
     stockholders, was approved by a vote of the stockholders having the right
     to designate such director and (ii) any director whose election to the
     Board or whose nomination for election by the stockholders of the Company
     was approved by the requisite vote of directors entitled to vote on such
     election or nomination in accordance with the Restated Certificate of
     Incorporation of the Company, shall, in each such case, be considered as
     though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Non-Investor
     Majority, but excluding, as a member of the Incumbent Non-Investor
     Majority, any such individual whose initial assumption of office is in
     connection with an actual or threatened election contest relating to the
     election of the directors of the Company (as such terms are used in Rule
     14a-1 1 of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act) and further
     excluding any person who is an affiliate or associate of an Acquiring
     Person having or proposing to acquire beneficial ownership of 25% or more
     of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of
     the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors; or

          (c) the approval by the stockholders of the Company of a
     reorganization, merger or consolidation, in each case, with respect to
     which all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the
     respective beneficial owners of the voting securities of the Company
     immediately prior to such reorganization, merger or consolidation do not,
     following such reorganization, merger or consolidation, beneficially own,
     directly or indirectly, more than 57.5% of the combined voting power of
     the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the
     election of directors of the Company resulting from such reorganization,
     merger or consolidation; or

          (d) the sale or other disposition of assets representing 50% or more
     of the assets of the Company in one transaction or series of related
     transactions.

     All defined terms used in the definition of "Change in Control" shall have
     the same meaning as set forth in the Form of Certificate of Designation of
     Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of Wyndham International, Inc.

          "Company" shall mean not only Wyndham International, Inc., but also
     its successors by merger or otherwise.

effect. The invalid portion of this Agreement, if any, shall be modified by any
court having jurisdiction to the extent necessary to render such portion
enforceable.

12.   Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each
of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together will
constitute one and the same instrument.

13.   Arbitration; Other Disputes. In the event of any dispute or controversy
arising under or in connection with this Agreement, the parties shall first
promptly try in good faith to settle such dispute or controversy by mediation
under the applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association before

unresolved in whole or in part for a period of thirty (30) days after it

                                       14

arises, the parties will settle any remaining dispute or controversy exclusively
by arbitration in Dallas, Texas, in accordance with the rules of the American
Arbitration Association then in effect. Judgment may be entered on the

the Company shall be entitled to seek a restraining order or injunction in any

Paragraph 4 or 5 hereof. Furthermore, should a dispute occur concerning
Executive's mental or physical capacity as described in Subparagraph 6(b), 6(c)
or 7(b), a doctor selected by Executive and a doctor selected by the Company
shall be entitled to examine Executive. If the opinion of the Company's doctor
and Executive's doctor conflict, the Company's doctor and Executive's doctor
shall together agree upon a third doctor, whose opinion shall be binding. Any
amount to which Executive is entitled under this Agreement (including any
disputed amount), which is not paid when due, shall bear interest at a rate
equal to the lesser of eighteen percent (18%) per annum or the maximum lawful
rate.

Executive's execution of this Agreement, Executive's employment with the Company
and the performance of Executive's proposed duties for the Company will not

Executive will not bring to the premises of the Company any copies or other
tangible embodiments of non-public information belonging to or obtained from any

in the future against or on behalf of the Company which relate to events or
occurrences that transpired while Executive was employed by the Company;
provided, however, that such cooperation shall not materially and adversely
affect Executive or expose Executive to an increased probability of civil or
criminal litigation. Executive's cooperation in connection with such claims or
actions shall include, but not be limited to, being available to meet with
counsel to prepare for discovery or trial and to act as a witness on behalf of
the Company at mutually convenient times. During and after Executive' s
employment, Executive also shall cooperate fully with the Company in connection
with any investigation or review of any federal, state or local regulatory
authority as any such investigation or review relates to events or occurrences
that transpired while Executive was employed by the Company. The Company shall
also provide Executive with compensation on an hourly basis (to be derived from
the sum of his Base Compensation or, if applicable, Adjusted Base Salary and
Average Incentive Compensation) for requested litigation and regulatory
cooperation that occurs after his termination of employment, and reimburse
Executive for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with his performance

                          WYNDHAM INTERNATIONAL, INC.
                     NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

                          Dated as of April 19, 1999


     Wyndham International, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of
Delaware (the "Company"), hereby grants to Anne L. Raymond, an Employee of the
Company (the "Optionee"), as of April 19, 1999 (the "Date of Grant"), a non-
qualified option (the "Option") to purchase from the Company 400,000 Paired
Shares, at the price of $5.00 per Paired Share, subject to the terms and
conditions set forth below. Such grant is pursuant to the Wyndham International,
Inc. 1997 Incentive Plan (the "Plan") and is made as an inducement to Optionee
to enter into the Employment Agreement between Optionee and the Company of even
date herewith (the "Employment Agreement").

1.   Option Subject to Acceptance of Option Agreement and Employment Agreement.
     The Option may not be exercised unless the Optionee accepts this Option
     Agreement and the Employment Agreement by executing both the Option
     Agreement and the Employment Agreement and returning such original
     execution copies to the Company.

2.   Time and Manner of Exercise of Option.

     1.   Maximum Term of Option. The Expiration Date of this Option is the date
          that is ten years from the Date of Grant. This Option may not be
          exercised on or after the Expiration Date.

     2.   Vesting Schedule. No portion of this Option may be exercised until
          such portion shall have vested. Except as set forth in Section 3 of
          this Agreement, this Option shall be vested and exercisable with
          respect to the following number of Paired Shares on the date indicated
          below provided that Optionee remains employed by the Company on such
          date:



              ==================================================
                              Vesting Schedule A
              --------------------------------------------------
                  Number of Paired
                 Shares Exercisable              Vesting Date

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the closing (the "Closing") of the
          Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Securities Purchase Agreement") by
          and among Patriot American Hospitality, Inc., Wyndham International,
          Inc., Patriot American Hospitality Partnership, L.P. and the
          Investors named therein dated as of February 28, 1999, as amended from
          time to time, the foregoing vesting
<PAGE>

          schedule shall not apply and except as set forth in Section 3 of this
          Agreement, this Option shall be vested and exercisable with respect to
          the following number of Paired Shares on the dates indicated below
          provided that Optionee remains employed by the Company on such dates:


              ==================================================
                              Vesting Schedule B
              --------------------------------------------------

              --------------------------------------------------
                  80,000 (20%)       4 years after Date of Grant
              --------------------------------------------------
                  80,000 (20%)       5 years after Date of Grant
              ==================================================


          In the event of a Change in Control of the Company (as defined in the
          Employment Agreement), if within 18 months of such Change in Control,
          the Optionee's employment with the Company is terminated by the
          Company without Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement) or for
          Good Reason (as defined in the Employment Agreement)), any unvested
          portions of this Option shall fully vest and become exercisable.
          Notwithstanding the foregoing, the purchase of securities by the
          Investors pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement shall not be
          deemed to be a Change in Control.

          A partial exercise of this Option shall not affect Optionee's right
          to exercise this Option with respect to the remaining Paired Shares.

     3.   Method of Exercise of Option. Subject to the limitations set forth in
          this Agreement, the Option may be exercised by the Optionee (1) by
          giving written notice to the Company specifying the number of whole
          Paired Shares to be purchased and accompanied by payment of the Option
          price in full (or arrangement made for such payment to the Company's
          satisfaction) either (i) in cash or cash equivalent acceptable to the
          Committee, (ii) in previously owned Paired Shares (which the Optionee
          has held for at least six months prior to the delivery of such Paired
          Shares or which the Optionee purchased on the open market and for
          which the Optionee has good title, free and clear of all liens and
          encumbrances) having a Fair Market Value, determined as of the date of
          exercise, equal to the aggregate purchase price payable pursuant to
          the Option by reason of such exercise, (iii) in cash or a check
          payable and acceptable to the Company by a broker-dealer acceptable to
          the Company to whom the Optionee

                                       2
<PAGE>

          has submitted an irrevocable notice of exercise or (iv) a combination
          of two or more of the foregoing, and (2) by executing such documents
          as the Company may reasonably request. Any fraction of a Paired Share
          which would be required to pay such purchase price shall be
          disregarded and the remaining amount due shall be paid in cash by the
          Optionee.

          The delivery of certificates representing the Paired Shares subject to
          the Option will be contingent upon the Company's receipt from Optionee
          of (1) full payment of the Option price, as set forth above, and (2)
          any agreement, statement or other evidence that the Company may
          require to satisfy itself that the issuance of Paired Shares to be
          purchased pursuant to the exercise of the Option and the subsequent
          resale of Paired Shares will be in compliance with applicable laws and
          regulations.

3.   Exercise After Termination of Employment. If the Optionee's employment by
     the Company or an Affiliate is terminated, the period within which to
     exercise the Option may be subject to earlier termination as set forth
     below. The Board's determination of the reason for termination of the
     Optionee's employment shall be conclusive and binding on the Optionee and
     his or her legal representatives or legatees. Any transfer of employment
     from the Company to any Affiliate of the Company shall not be deemed to be
     a termination of employment for purposes of this Agreement.

     1.   Termination Due to Death. If, on or after the Closing, the Optionee's
          employment terminates by reason of death, the Option held by the
          Optionee shall vest and become exercisable in accordance with the
          Vesting Schedule B as set forth in Section 2(b), plus an additional
          number of Paired Shares that would have vested on the next vesting
          anniversary date. The Optionee's legal representative or legatee may
          exercise the Option to the extent exercisable in accordance with this
          Section 3(a), for a period of 360 days from the date of death or until
          the Expiration Date, if earlier. Any portion of the Option that is not
          exercisable at the time of death shall terminate immediately and be of
          no further force or effect.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Optionee's employment terminates
          by reason of death on or after the Date of Grant but before the
          Closing, the Option held by the Optionee shall vest and become
          exercisable in accordance with Vesting Schedule A as set forth in
          Section 2(b).

     2.   Termination Due to Disability. If, on or after the Closing, the
          Optionee's employment terminates by reason of incapacity due to
          physical or mental illness which resulted in his or her absence from
          his or her duties with the Company on a full-time basis for 180
          calendar days in the aggregate in any 12-month period, the Option held
          by the Optionee shall vest and become exercisable in accordance with
          the Vesting Schedule B as set forth in Section 2(b), plus an
          additional

                                       3
<PAGE>

          number of Paired Shares that would have vested on the next vesting
          anniversary date. The Optionee may exercise the Option to the extent
          exercisable in accordance with this Section 3(b), for a period of 360
          days from the date of termination of employment or until the
          Expiration Date, if earlier. Any portion of the Option that is not
          exercisable upon termination of employment shall terminate immediately
          and be of no further force or effect.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, on or after the Date of Grant but
          before the Closing, the Optionee's employment terminates by reason of
          incapacity due to physical or mental illness which resulted in his or
          her absence from his or her duties with the Company on a full-time
          basis for 180 calendar days in the aggregate in any 12-month period,
          the Option held by the Optionee shall vest and become exercisable in
          accordance with Vesting Schedule A as set forth in Section 2(b).

     3.   Termination without Cause or for Good Reason. If, on or after the
          Closing, the Optionee's employment is terminated by the Company
          without Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement) or the Optionee
          resigns from the Company for Good Reason (as defined in the Employment
          Agreement), the Option held by the Optionee shall continue to vest and
          become exercisable in accordance with the Vesting Schedule B as set
          forth in Section 2(b) for an additional 24 months. The Optionee may
          exercise the Option, to the extent exercisable in accordance with this
          Section 3(c), for a period of 360 days after the end of the 24-month
          period or until the Expiration Date, if earlier. Any portion of the
          Option that is not exercisable at the end of 24 months following
          termination of employment shall terminate immediately and be of no
          further force or effect.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Optionee breaches any of the
          provisions contained in Paragraph 4 or 5 of the Employment Agreement,
          (i) any portion of the Option that vested or will vest by virtue of
          this Section 3(c) shall immediately terminate and be of no force and
          effect, and (ii) to the extent any portion of the Option that vested
          by virtue of this Section 3(c) has been exercised, Optionee shall be
          required to disgorge to the Company the difference between the fair
          market value per Paired Share on the date of exercise and the Option
          price per Paired Share, multiplied by the number of Paired Shares
          acquired by Optionee.

          Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Optionee's
          employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined in
          the Employment Agreement) or the Optionee resigns from the Company for
          Good Reason (as defined in the Employment Agreement) on or after the
          Date of Grant but before the Closing or a Change in Control, the
          Option held by the Optionee shall vest and become exercisable in
          accordance with Vesting Schedule A as set forth in Section 2(b).

     4.   Termination for Cause. If the Optionee's employment is terminated for
          Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement), the Option held by the
          Optionee shall terminate immediately and be of no further force and
          effect.

     5.   Other Termination. If the Optionee's employment terminates for any
          reason not covered in Subsections (a), (b), (c) or (d) of this
          Section 3, the Option held by the Optionee may be exercised, to the
          extent exercisable on the date of termination pursuant to the
          applicable vesting schedule in Section 2(b), for a period of three (3)
          months from the date of termination or until the Expiration Date, if
          earlier. Any portion of the Option that is not exercisable at such
          time shall terminate immediately and be of no further force or effect.

4.   Incorporation of Plan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
     this Option shall be subject to and governed by all the terms and
     conditions of the Plan. Capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the
     meaning specified in the Plan, unless a different meaning is specified
     herein. All references herein to the Plan shall mean the Plan in effect as
     of the date hereof. In the event of any conflict between the provisions in
     the Plan and the provisions in this Agreement, the provisions of the Plan
     shall govern.

5.   Additional Terms and Conditions of Option.

     1.   Nontransferability of Option. This Agreement is personal to the
          Optionee, is non-assignable and is not transferable in any manner, by
          operation of law or otherwise, other than by will or the laws of
          descent and distribution. This Option is exercisable, during the
          Optionee's lifetime, only by the Optionee, and thereafter only by the
          Optionee's legal representative or legatee.

     2.   Delivery of Certificates. Upon the exercise of the Option, in whole or
          in part, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered one or
          more certificates representing the number of Paired Shares purchased
          against full payment therefor. The Company shall pay all original
          issue or transfer taxes and all fees and expenses incident to such
          delivery.

     3.   Option Confers No Rights as Stockholder. The Optionee shall not be
          entitled to any privileges of ownership with respect to Paired Shares
          subject to the Option unless and until purchased and delivered upon
          the exercise of the Option, in whole or in part, and the Optionee
          becomes a stockholder of record with respect to such delivered Paired
          Shares; and the Optionee shall not be considered a stockholder of the
          Company with respect to any such Paired Shares not so purchased and
          delivered.

                                       5
<PAGE>

     4.   Decisions of Committee. The Committee shall have the right to resolve
          all questions which may arise in connection with the Option or its
          exercise. Any interpretation, determination or other action made or
          taken by the Committee regarding this Agreement shall be final,
          binding and conclusive.

     5.   Reservation of Paired Shares. The Company shall at all times prior to
          the expiration or termination of the Option reserve or cause to be
          reserved and keep or cause to be kept available, either in its
          treasury or out of its authorized but unissued shares of common stock,
          the full number of shares of common stock of the Company subject to
          the Option from time to time. In addition, pursuant to Section 2(c) of
          the Pairing Agreement, the Company shall request Patriot American
          Hospitality, Inc. to issue the number of shares of common stock of
          Patriot American Hospitality, Inc. subject to the Option so that the
          Optionee shall receive Paired Shares upon exercise of the Option.

     6.   Change in Capital Structure. The terms of this Option shall be
          adjusted as the Committee determines is equitably required in the
          event the Company effects one or more stock dividends, stock split-
          ups, subdivisions or consolidations of shares or other similar changes
          in capitalization.

     7.   Fractional Shares. Fractional shares shall not be issuable hereunder,
          and when any provision hereof may entitle Optionee to a fractional
          share such fraction shall be disregarded.

6.   Tax Withholding. The Optionee shall, not later than the date as of which
     the exercise of this Option becomes a taxable event for Federal income tax
     purposes, pay to the Company or make arrangements satisfactory to the
     Committee for payment of any Federal, state, and local taxes required by
     law to be withheld on account of such taxable event. Subject to the
     approval of the Committee, the Optionee may elect to have such tax
     withholding obligation satisfied, in whole or in part, by (i) authorizing
     the Company to withhold from Paired Shares to be issued, or (ii)
     transferring to the Company a number of previously owned whole Paired
     Shares (which the Optionee has held for at least six months prior to the
     delivery of such Paired Shares or which the Optionee purchased on the open
     market and for which the Optionee has good title, free and clear of all
     liens and encumbrances) having an aggregate Fair Market Value, determined
     as of the date of exercise, that would satisfy the withholding amount due.

7.   Miscellaneous Provisions.

     1.   Designation as Non-qualified Stock Option. The Option is hereby
          designated as not constituting an "incentive stock option" within the
          meaning of section 422 of the Code. This Agreement shall be
          interpreted and treated consistently with such designation.

                                       6

     2.   Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
          benefit of any successor or successors of the Company and any person
          or persons who shall, upon the death of the Optionee, acquire any
          rights hereunder in accordance with this Agreement or the Plan.

     3.   Notices. All notices requests or other communications provided for
          in this Agreement shall be made, if to the Company, to the Secretary
          of the Company at the Company's principal executive office, and if to
          the Optionee, to his or her address on the books of the Company (or to
          such other address as the Company or the Optionee may give to the
          other for purposes of notice hereunder).

          All notices, requests or other communications provided for in this
          Agreement shall be made in writing either (a) by personal delivery to
          the party entitled thereto, (b) by facsimile with confirmation of
          receipt, (c) by mailing in the United States mail to the last known
          address of the party entitled thereto or (d) by express courier
          service. The notice, request or other communication shall be deemed to
          be received upon personal delivery, upon confirmation of receipt of
          facsimile transmission or upon receipt by the party entitled thereto
          if by United States mail or express courier service; provided,
          however, that if a notice, request or other communication in not
          received during regular business hours, it shall be deemed to be
          received on the next succeeding business day of the Company.

     4.   Governing Law. This Agreement and all determinations made and actions
          taken pursuant hereto and thereto, to the extent not governed by the
          laws of the United States, shall be governed by the laws of the State
          of Delaware and construed in accordance therewith without giving
          effect to principles of conflicts of laws.

     5.   Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two counterparts, each
          of which shall be deemed an original and both of which together shall
          constitute one and the same instrument.

     6.   Further Assurances. The Company and the Optionee shall execute and
          deliver such further instruments and take such additional action as
          each party may reasonably request to effect, consummate, confirm or
          evidence the grant of the Option to the Optionee, and they shall each
          execute such documents as may be reasonably necessary to assist each
          other in preserving or perfecting their respective rights in the
          Option.

     7.   No Right to Continued Employment. This Agreement does not confer upon
          Optionee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or an
          Affiliate, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the
          Company or an Affiliate to terminate such employment at any time.

               NO PERSONAL LIABILITY NONRECOURSE PROMISSORY NOTE

                                Dallas , Texas
$5,196,959.00                                                     April 19, 1999

     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, ANNE L. RAYMOND (referred to herein as the "Maker"),
promises to pay to WYNDHAM INTERNATIONAL, INC., a Delaware corporation (referred
to herein as the "Payee"), or its assigns, the sum of FIVE MILLION ONE HUNDRED
NINETY-SIX THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED FIFTY-NINE DOLLARS AND NO CENTS
($5,196,959.00), together with interest on the unpaid principal balance as set
forth below .

     1.   Certain Definitions. The following terms, when used in this Note,
shall have the meanings assigned to them below:

          (a) Collateral. The term "Collateral" shall mean 166,603 paired shares
of the common stock, $.01 par value, of Wyndham International, Inc. and Patriot
American Hospitality, Inc. (the "Shares") and all dividends, distributions and
payments in respect of the Shares ("Proceeds").

          (b) Fixed Rate. The term "Fixed Rate" means the rate of six percent
(6%) per annum, compounded annually.

          (c) Market Value. The term "Market Value," when used with reference
to Shares as of any date, shall mean the average of the closing sale prices for
a Share, on the principal national securities exchange on which the Shares are
listed, for each trading day during the 90-day period immediately preceding the
date in question.

          (d) Maximum Rate. The term "Maximum Rate" shall mean, on any day, the
highest nonusurious rate of interest (if any) permitted by applicable law on
such day. For purposes of Tex. Rev. Civ. Stat. Ann. Art. 5069-1.04(b), as it may
from time to time be amended, the "applicable rate ceiling" shall be the
"indicated rate" ceiling from time to time in effect as limited by Art.
5069-1.04(b); provided, however, that to the extent permitted by applicable law,
Payee reserves the right to change the "applicable rate ceiling" from time to
time by further notice and disclosure to Maker; and, provided further, that the
"highest nonusurious rate of interest permitted by applicable law" for purposes
of this Note shall not be limited to the applicable rate ceiling under Art.
5069-1.04 if federal laws or other state laws now or hereafter in effect and
applicable to this Note (and the interest contracted for, charged and collected
hereunder) shall permit a higher rate of interest.

     2.   Interest Rate. The unpaid principal balance from the date hereof until
maturity shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of the
Fixed Rate or the Maximum Rate. Interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof
shall be calculated at a daily rate equal to
<PAGE>

1/365th of the rate per annum herein provided, and shall be charged and
collected on the actual number of days elapsed. After maturity, unpaid principal
and, to the extent permitted by law, interest on this Note shall bear interest
at a rate equal to the lesser of four (4) percentage points over the Fixed Rate,
or the Maximum Rate.

     3.   Payment of Principal and Interest. The entire principal balance and
accrued interest on this Note shall mature and become due and payable on demand,
or if demand has not been previously made on the earlier of April 19, 2002, or
ten (10) days after Maker's termination of employment with Payee.

     4.   Mandatory Prepayment. Prior to maturity, all Proceeds to which Maker
is entitled in respect of the Shares shall be applied, at the time Maker is
entitled to receive such Proceeds, to payment of this Note, with such payments
to be applied first to accrued interest and then to the outstanding principal
balance of this Note. By execution of this Note, Maker hereby irrevocably
authorizes and hereby grants to Payee a special power of attorney irrevocably
making, constituting and appointing Payee, with unrestricted power of
substitution and resubstitution, as the attorney-in-fact for Maker, with power
and authority to apply the payments referred to in this Paragraph in accordance
with the provisions hereof and to execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all
such documents and instruments as may be necessary or appropriate to carry out
the provisions of this Paragraph 4.

     5.   Events of Default.

          (a) The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall be
deemed an event of default hereunder ("Event of Default"):

              (i)   The failure of Maker to make any payment on this Note when
          the same becomes due and payable and such failure continues for ten
          (10) days after notice of such failure to pay is received by Maker
          from Payee; or

              (ii)  Maker shall commence any case, proceeding or other action
          seeking reorganization, arrangement or adjustment of its debts under
          any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization law, or seek the
          appointment of a receiver, trustee or custodian for Maker or for all
          of its property; or

              (iii) Any case, proceeding or other action shall be commenced
          against Maker seeking reorganization, arrangement or adjustment of its
          debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization law or
          seeking the appointment of a receiver, custodian or trustee for Maker
          or for all or substantially all of its property, and such case,
          proceeding or other action remains undismissed for a period of sixty
          (60) days after commencement thereof; or

              (iv)  The dissolution or liquidation of Maker.

                                       3
<PAGE>

          (b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, Payee, at
its option, may declare the entire unpaid principal balance and accrued interest
on this Note to be immediately due and payable without notice of any kind to
Maker and without any other presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind,
all of which are hereby expressly waived by Maker, and may, at its option,
exercise any other right or remedy existing at law or in equity. Failure to
exercise any such right or remedy shall not constitute a waiver of the right to
exercise the same in the event of any subsequent default.

          (c) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, Payee shall
purchase the Collateral from Maker for an amount equal to the Market Value of
the Collateral, or the entire principal balance and accrued interest due on the
Note, whichever is higher. Such payment shall be applied towards the repayment
of the outstanding amount of the Note. If the Market Value of the Collateral
exceeds the outstanding amount of the Note, the excess Collateral remaining
after full satisfaction of the Note shall be returned to Maker without offset
of any kind and free and clear of all liens, claims or encumbrances in favor of
Payee.

     6.   Voluntary Prepayment. Maker shall have the right and privilege from
time to time to prepay in whole or in part the unpaid principal of this Note
without premium or penalty, provided that the accrued interest on the amount
prepaid is likewise paid, and the accrual of interest shall immediately cease on
any amount so prepaid.

     7.   Waiver. Maker waives demand, presentment for payment, notice of
nonpayment, protest and notice of protest and agrees to any substitution,
subordination or release of any parties primarily or secondarily liable hereon.
No waiver by Payee of any of its rights or remedies hereunder or under any other
document evidencing or securing this Note or otherwise shall be considered a
waiver of any other subsequent right or remedy of Payee; and no delay or
omission in the exercise or enforcement by Payee of any rights or remedies shall
be construed as a waiver of any right or remedy of Payee.

     8.   Attorneys' Fees. If this Note is not paid pursuant to the terms
hereof and is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection, or if it is
collected through bankruptcy or any other court proceeding after maturity, then
Payee shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees for collection.

     9.   Limitation on Agreements. It is the intention of Maker and Payee to
comply with applicable usury laws. In furtherance thereof, Maker and Payee
stipulate and agree that, notwithstanding any provision contained in this Note,
or in any other agreement between Maker and Payee, Payee shall never be entitled
to receive, collect or apply as interest on this Note, any amount in excess of
the Maximum Rate, and, in the event Payee ever receives, collects or applies as
interest any such excess, such amount that would be excessive interest shall be
deemed to be a partial prepayment of principal and treated hereunder as such,
and, if the principal amount of the Note is paid in full, any remaining excess
shall forthwith be paid to Maker. In determining whether the interest paid or
payable, under any specific contingency, exceeds the Maximum Rate, Maker and
Payee shall, to the maximum extent permitted under

                                       4
<PAGE>

applicable law, (i) characterize any non-principal payments (other than payments
hereunder) as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest, (ii) exclude
voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (iii) amortize, prorate,
allocate and spread in equal parts the total amount of interest throughout the
entire contemplated term of this Note so that the interest rate is uniform
throughout such term.

     10.  Pledge and Grant of Security Interest. Maker hereby pledges and grants
to Payee a security interest in the Collateral, and in connection therewith,
Payee shall have all of the rights of a secured party under Chapter 9 of the
Texas Uniform Commercial Code. Maker agrees to execute and deliver such other
documents as may be reasonably necessary to confirm, evidence or perfect such
pledge and security interest. Payee currently holds certificates representing
all Shares currently constituting the Collateral. Unless and until an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Maker shall be entitled to vote
all or any part of the Shares constituting the Collateral and to execute
consents and waivers in respect thereof, all with the same force and effect as
if this Note did not exist.

     11.  Nature of Obligation: Limitation on Liability. The principal amount of
this Note represents the unpaid principal balance and accrued interest as of
December 31, 1998 on that certain Promissory Note dated March 20, 1996 from
Maker to Wyndham Finance Limited Partnership in the original principal amount of
$4,417,588.00 on which no payments have been made as of the date hereof and
which is also secured by the Collateral. This Note is an amendment in its
entirety of such March 20, 1996 Note. Maker agrees that all existing security
interest in the Collateral existing immediately prior to the execution hereof
shall continue to exist and shall secure this Note. THIS NOTE SHALL BE
NONRECOURSE TO MAKER AND MAKER SHALL HAVE NO PERSONAL LIABILITY FOR THE PAYMENT
HEREOF, AND PAYEE SHALL PROCEED SOLELY AGAINST THE COLLATERAL UPON THE
OCCURRENCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT UNDER THIS NOTE.

     12.  Governing Law and Venue. This Note is being executed and delivered and
is intended to be performed in the State of Texas. This Note shall be construed
as to both validity and performance and enforced in accordance with and governed
by the laws of the State of Texas.

     13.  Notices. All notices or other communications required or permitted
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if
delivered personally or sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid,
with return receipt requested, addressed to Maker or Payee as follows:

                    If to Maker to:

                    Anne L. Raymond at address on file with the Payee

or such other address as shall be furnished in writing by Maker or Payee to the
other, in accordance with the above provisions, and such notice or
communication shall be deemed to have been given as of the date so delivered in
the case of personal delivery or three (3) days after deposit in the mail in the
case of certified or registered mail.

     14.  Arbitration. Maker and Payee agree that any claim, controversy or
dispute arising out of or relating to this Note that cannot be amicably settled
shall be referred to binding arbitration as hereinafter provided. If arbitration
is required to resolve a dispute between Maker and Payee, Payee will notify the
American Arbitration Association ("AAA") and request AAA to select one person to
act as the arbitrator for resolution of this dispute. The selected arbitrator
will establish the rules for arbitration of the dispute and such rules will be
binding upon all parties to the arbitration proceeding. The arbitrator may use
the rules of the AAA for commercial arbitration but is encouraged to adopt such
rules as the arbitrator deems appropriate to accomplish the arbitration in the
quickest and least expensive manner possible. Accordingly, the arbitrator may
(i) dispense with any formal rules of evidence and allow hearsay testimony so as
to limit the number of witnesses required, (ii) minimize discovery procedures as
the arbitrator deems appropriate, (iii) act upon his understanding or
interpretation of the law on any issue without the obligation to research such
issue or accept or act upon briefs of the issue prepared by any party, (iv)
limit the time for presentation of any party's case as well as the amount of
information or number of witnesses to be presented in connection with any
hearing, (v) prevent any party from allowing an attorney to present or argue the
party's case before the arbitrator in any hearing, and (iv) impose any other
rules which the arbitrator believes appropriate to effect a resolution of the
dispute as quickly and inexpensively as possible. The arbitration shall take
place in Dallas, Texas. The arbitrator will have the exclusive authority to
