                             CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT


         THIS CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made as of the date
last below written by and among FelCor, Inc., a Texas corporation ("FCI"), RGC
Leasing, Inc., a Nevada corporation ("RGC" and, together with FCI, the
"Contributors"), DJONT Operations, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company,
FelCor Lodging Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership ("FLLP"), and
FelCor Lodging Trust Incorporated, a Maryland corporation and the sole general
partner of FLLP ("General Partner").

                                    RECITALS

         A. FCI is the record and beneficial owner of 100% of the issued and
outstanding Class A membership interest ("Class A Membership Interest") in
DJONT, constituting 50% of the issued and outstanding membership interests; and
RGC is the record and beneficial owner of 100% of the issued and outstanding
Class B membership interest ("Class B Membership Interest") in DJONT,
constituting the remaining 50% of the issued and outstanding membership
interests, and the Contributors desire to contribute the Class A and Class B
Membership Interests (the "Contributed Assets") to FLLP.

         B. FLLP desires to acquire the Contributed Assets from Contributors, on
the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

         C. General Partner, in order to induce Contributors to enter into this
Agreement, has agreed to make certain representations, warranties and covenants
in this Agreement, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this
Agreement.

                                    AGREEMENT

         NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and the mutual
covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

                                   ARTICLE I.
                                THE CONTRIBUTION

         1.1 Contribution of Contributed Assets. Contributors agree to
contribute and transfer the Contributed Assets to FLLP and FLLP agrees to accept
transfer of the Contributed Assets pursuant to the terms and conditions set
forth in this Agreement. The Contributed Assets shall be transferred to FLLP at
Closing (defined below), free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, security
interests, prior assignments or conveyances, conditions, restrictions, claims
and other matters affecting title.

         1.2 Consideration. The total consideration (the "Consideration") for
which Contributors agree to contribute and assign the Contributed Assets to
FLLP, and which FLLP agrees to pay or



                                      -1-
<PAGE>   5

deliver to Contributors, subject to the terms of this Agreement, shall be the
issuance to Contributors of the units ("Units") of limited partner interest in
FLLP equal to Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00) divided by the greater of (i)
the average closing price of the common stock of General Partner (the "Common
Stock") as reported on the New York Stock Exchange for the ten (10) trading days
preceding the Closing Date, and (ii) $24.00. Each Contributor shall be issued
fifty percent (50%) of the total number of Units to be issued hereunder, and
each Contributor hereby subscribes for and agrees to accept the issuance of such
Units and the terms and conditions of the Amended and Restated Agreement of
Limited Partnership for FLLP dated as of July 25, 1994, as amended to date (the
"Partnership Agreement"), including without limitation the power of attorney
granted in Section 1.4 of the Partnership Agreement, and to execute and deliver
at the Closing such other documents or instruments as may be required by General
Partner under Section 11.4 of the Partnership Agreement to effect such
Contributor's admission as a limited partner in FLLP.

         1.3 Redemption Rights for Units. Each Unit shall be redeemable, at the
option of Contributor, in accordance with, but subject to the restrictions
contained in, Section 7.5 of the Partnership Agreement; provided, however, that
Contributor's redemption option may not be exercised prior to the first
anniversary of the Closing Date (defined below).

         1.4 Registration Rights. As soon as practicable after the Effective
Date, the General Partner shall file with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "Commission") and use commercially reasonable efforts to become effective,
a registration statement under Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, or any similar rule that may be adopted by the Commission, covering the
resale of the shares of Common Stock issued upon redemption of the Units (the
"Registration Statement"). The General Partner may include in such Registration
Statement other securities of the General Partner to be resold by holders other
than the Contributor. Except as set forth above, the rights and obligations of
the Contributor with respect to the registration of shares of Common Stock
issuable to it shall be as set forth in that certain Registration Rights
Agreement dated as of dated as of July 21, 1994 by and among the General Partner
and the holders listed therein (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), the terms
of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein. To the extent any of the
terms of the Registration Rights Agreement shall be in conflict with the terms
of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

         1.5 SEC Filings. FLLP agrees to provide to Contributors a copy of all
periodic reports filed after the date of this Agreement by General Partner with
the SEC under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
This obligation will cease as to both Contributors upon the termination of this
Agreement prior to Closing or, as to each Contributor, upon the redemption by
such Contributor of all of its Units after Closing.

         1.6 Tax Consequences to Contributors. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, including without limitation the use of words and
phrases such as "sell," "sale," purchase" and "pay," the parties hereto
acknowledge and agree that it is their intent that the transaction contemplated
hereby be treated for federal income tax purposes as the contribution of the
Contributed Assets by Contributor to FLLP in exchange for the Units pursuant to
Section 721 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and
not as a transaction in which Contributor is



                                      -2-
<PAGE>   6

acting other than in its capacity as a prospective partner of FLLP. In addition,
the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that it is their intent that, assuming
that the Contributors execute the Reimbursement Agreement attached hereto as
Exhibit A (the "Reimbursement Agreement"), the transaction contemplated hereby
will not result in the recognition of income or gain associated with the portion
of any negative capital account balance associated with the Contributed Assets
that is allocable to a Contributor upon the closing of the contribution, to the
extent that the aggregate negative capital account balance (as determined in
accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)) of such
Contributor for which tax deferral is sought does not exceed the aggregate
amount of debt that is agreed to be reimbursed by such Contributor pursuant to
the Reimbursement Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE II.
                          REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS

FLLP hereby represent and warrant unto Contributor that each and every one of
the following statements is true, correct and complete in every material respect

good standing under the laws of the State of Maryland, and has full right, power
and authority to enter into this Agreement and to assume and perform all of its
obligations under this Agreement; that the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the performance by General Partner of its obligations under this
Agreement, including, but not by way of limitation, its obligations with respect
to the issuance of its shares of Common Stock upon the redemption of the Units
(if it elects to issue such shares of Common Stock) to be issued to Contributor
pursuant to this Agreement, have been approved by the Board of Directors of
General Partner and require no further action or approval of its directors or
shareholders or of any other individuals or entities in order to constitute this

Agreement and the performance by FLLP of its obligations under this Agreement
have been approved by the Board of Directors of General Partner and require no
further action or approval of FLLP's partners or of any other individuals or

obligation of FLLP.

                  (c) Neither the entry into nor the performance of, or
compliance with, this Agreement by either General Partner or FLLP has resulted,
or will result, in any violation of, or default under, or result in the
acceleration of, any obligation under any existing corporate charter,

                  (g) Neither the issuance, sale and delivery by FLLP of the
Units, nor the issuance, sale and delivery by General Partner of the shares of
Common Stock upon redemption of the Units, will conflict with or result in a
breach or violation of any of the terms and provisions of, or (with or without
the giving of notice or passage of time or both) constitute a default under the
certificate of incorporation or bylaws of General Partner or the certificate of
limited partnership or the Partnership Agreement of FLLP; any indenture,
mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, note, lease or other agreement or
instrument to which General Partner or FLLP is a party or to which any of them,
any of their respective properties or other assets or any hotel is subject; or
any applicable statute, judgment, decree, rule or regulation of any court or
governmental agency or body applicable to any of the foregoing or any of their
respective properties; or result in the creation or imposition of any lien,

Agreement and to assume and perform all of its obligations under this Agreement;
and the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance by
Contributor of its obligations under this Agreement require no further action or
approval of Contributor's shareholders, directors, members, managers, trustees
or partners (as the case may be) or of any other individuals or entities in
order to constitute this Agreement as a binding and enforceable obligation of
such Contributor.

                  (b) Neither the entry into nor the performance of, or
compliance with, this Agreement by either Contributor has resulted, or will
result, in any violation of, or default under, or result in the acceleration of,
any obligation under any existing corporate charter, certificate of
incorporation, bylaw, articles of organization, limited liability company
agreement, regulations, certificate of limited partnership, trust agreement,
partnership agreement, mortgage indenture, lien agreement, note, contract,
permit, judgment, decree, order, restrictive covenant, statute, rule or
regulation applicable to such Contributor or to the Contributed Assets.

                  (c) (i) Each Contributor is the sole owner of the Contributed
Assets owned by it, (ii) each Contributor has good title to the Contributed
Assets owned by it, (iii) the Contributed Assets are free and clear of any
liens, encumbrances, pledges and security interests whatsoever, and (iv) neither
Contributor has granted any other person or entity an option to purchase or a
right of first refusal upon the Contributed Assets.

                  (d) No authorization, consent, approval, permit or license of,
or filing with, any governmental or public body or authority, or any other
person or entity is required to authorize, or is required in connection with,

                  (e) Each Contributor is familiar with the business and
financial condition of General Partner and FLLP, and is not relying upon any
representations made to it by General Partner, FLLP or any of the officers,
employees or agents of either of them that are not contained or referred to
herein.

                  (f) Each Contributor is aware of the risks involved in making
an investment in the Units and in the Common Stock for which such Units may be
redeemable. Each Contributor has had an opportunity to ask questions of, and to
receive answers from, FLLP and General Partner, or a person or persons
authorized to act on their behalf, concerning the terms and conditions of this
investment and the financial condition, affairs and business of FLLP and General
Partner. Each Contributor confirms that all documents, records and information
pertaining to its investment in FLLP that have been requested by it, including a
complete copy of the Partnership Agreement as summarized in Schedule 2.1(h)
attached hereto, have been made available or delivered to it prior to the date
hereof.

<PAGE>   9

                  (g) Each Contributor understands that neither the Units nor
the shares of Common Stock for which the Units may be redeemed have been
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities
acts and are instead being offered and sold in reliance on an exemption from
such registration requirements. The Units for which each Contributor hereby
subscribes are being acquired solely for its own account, for investment, and
are not being acquired with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any
distribution, subdivision or fractionalization thereof, in violation of such
laws, and (except as expressly set forth herein) Neither Contributor has any
present intention to enter into any contract, undertaking, agreement or
arrangement with respect to any such resale. Each Contributor understands that
the Units will contain appropriate legends reflecting the requirement that the
Units not be resold by such Contributor without registration under such laws or
the availability of an exemption from such registration.

                  (h) Each Contributor is an accredited investor as that term is
defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D of the SEC.

         2.3 Representations by DJONT. DJONT hereby represents and warrants unto
FLLP that each and every one of the following statements is true, correct and
complete in every material respect as of the date of this Agreement and will be
true, correct and complete as of the Closing Date:

                  (a) DJONT has been duly formed and is validly existing as a
limited liability company in good standing under the Delaware Limited Liability
Company Act (the "Delaware LLC Act"). Except for the entities listed on Schedule
2.3(a) hereto (the "Subsidiaries"), DJONT does not own, control, or have an
equity interest in, directly or indirectly, any corporation, association or
other entity. DJONT, or a Subsidiary, as applicable, owns the percentage equity
interests of each of the Subsidiaries as reflected on Schedule 2.3(a). All of
such equity interests have been duly and validly authorized and issued and are
fully paid and are so owned free and clear of any pledge, lien, charge,
encumbrance, security interests, preemptive right or other claims, except as set
forth in such entity's governing documents. FCOAM, Inc. has been duly

business. Each direct and indirect subsidiary of DJONT (other than FCOAM, Inc.)
has been duly formed and is validly existing as a limited liability company in

subsidiaries have been duly qualified to do business and are in good standing as
a foreign limited liability company or corporation in each other jurisdiction in
which the ownership or leasing of their properties or the nature or conduct of
their business as now conducted requires such qualification, except where the
failure to do so would not have a material adverse effect on DJONT.

                  (b) The limited liability company agreements, articles of
incorporation, and bylaws, and all amendments thereof to date, of DJONT and each

otherwise dispose of, or to purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any of their
respective equity interests. The issuance of all equity interests of DJONT and
its subsidiaries been in full compliance with all federal and state securities

warrants, preemptive rights, rights of first refusal, proxies, voting
agreements, restrictions (other than restrictions on transfer) imposed under
federal or state securities laws) or agreements or understandings of any nature
which restrict or relate to the voting or transfer of, require the issuance,
sale, purchase or redemption of or otherwise relate to the equity interests of
DJONT or any of its Subsidiaries. DJONT has no classes of membership interests,
other than the Class A and Class B Membership Interests, authorized and/or

in compliance with all federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations,
including but not limited to, all environmental laws and regulations, of each
jurisdiction in which DJONT or its Subsidiaries transact business and are not in
breach of any such laws, rules and regulations. Neither DJONT nor any of its
Subsidiaries has been cited for any violation of any laws, rules or regulations.

                  (e) Neither the execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement by Contributors, nor the consummation by Contributors of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, nor compliance by Contributors with
all of the provisions of this Agreement will: (i) require the consent of any
third party; (ii) cause a default (or give rise to any right of termination,
cancellation or acceleration) under any of the terms, conditions or provisions
of any contract or agreement to which DJONT or any Subsidiary is a party; (iii)
violate any law, statute, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction or
decree applicable to DJONT or any of its Subsidiaries; (iv) not create any
claim, liability, lien, pledge, condition, charge or encumbrance of any nature
whatsoever upon any assets of the DJONT or any of its Subsidiaries or the
Contributed Assets; or (v) conflict with or violate any provision of the limited
liability company agreements, articles of incorporation or by-laws, as
applicable, of DJONT or any of its Subsidiaries. No consent or approval by, or
any notification of or filing with, any public body or authority is required in
connection with the execution, delivery and performance by Contributors of this
Agreement, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.

                  (f) Attached as Schedule 2.3(f) hereto is a true, complete and
correct list and brief description of all of material leases, management
agreements, franchise and license agreements, and other contracts, agreements
and instruments material to DJONT or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, the
"Material Contracts"). All of the Material Contracts are in full force and
effect and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of DJONT or its
Subsidiary, as applicable, and of each other party to the Material Contracts and
are enforceable in accordance with the terms of the Material Contracts. DJONT or
its Subsidiary, as applicable, has performed all the obligations required to be
performed by it as of the Closing Date under all of the Material Contracts and
is not in default or alleged to be in default in any respect under any of the
Material Contracts. There exists no event, condition or occurrence which, after
notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default by a party to any
of the Material Contracts. Other than the Material Contracts, neither DJONT nor
any of its Subsidiaries requires any contract or other agreement to enable it to
carry on its business as presently being conducted. DJONT is not aware of any
intention by any party to any



                                      -7-
<PAGE>   11

Material Contract: (i) to terminate such Material Contract or amend the terms of
such Material Contract; (ii) to refuse to renew such Material Contract upon the
expiration of the term of such Material Contract; or (iii) to renew such
Material Contract upon expiration only on terms and conditions which are more
onerous than those now existing. There is no default by any other party to any
of the Material Contracts. DJONT has furnished to FLLP complete and correct
copies of all Material Contracts.

                  (g) There are no (i) audits, inspections, actions, suits,
claims, investigations or legal or administrative or arbitration proceedings
pending or threatened against DJONT or any of its Subsidiaries, their respective
officers, directors or employees, affecting or relating to DJONT or any of its
Subsidiaries, whether at law or in equity, whether civil or criminal in nature
or whether before or by any federal, state, municipal, or other governmental
court, department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, nor
does any known basis exist therefor, or (ii) judgments, awards, decrees,
injunctions or orders of any court, governmental department, commission, agency,
instrumentality or arbitrator against or involving DJONT or any of its
Subsidiaries or their respective assets, except for those that individually, or
in the aggregate in connection with a series of related claims, would not
reasonably be expected to result in any material uninsured liability to DJONT or
any of its Subsidiaries. Neither DJONT nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default
with respect to any order, injunction or decree of any federal, state or local
court, department, agency or instrumentality. Neither DJONT nor any of its
Subsidiaries is presently engaged in any legal action to recover a material
amount of monies due to DJONT or such Subsidiary for damage sustained by it.

                  (h) DJONT and its Subsidiaries have filed within the time and
in the manner prescribed by law all federal, state and local tax returns and
reports, including but not limited to income, gross receipts, intangible, real
property, excise, withholding, franchise, sales, use, employment, personal
property and other tax returns and reports, required to be filed by any of them
under the laws of the United States and of each state or other jurisdiction in
which DJONT or any of its Subsidiaries conducts business activities requiring
the filing of tax returns or reports. All tax returns and reports filed by DJONT
and its Subsidiaries are true and correct in all material respects. DJONT and
its Subsidiaries have paid in full all taxes of whatever kind or nature for the
periods covered by such returns. DJONT and its Subsidiaries have not been
delinquent in the payment of any tax, assessment or governmental charge or
deposit and have no tax deficiency or claim outstanding, assessed, threatened or
proposed against any of them. The charges, accruals and reserves for unpaid
taxes on the books and records of DJONT and its Subsidiaries as of the Closing
Date are sufficient in all respects for the payment of all unpaid federal, state
and local taxes of DJONT and its Subsidiaries accrued for or applicable to all
periods ended on or before the Closing Date. There are no tax liens, whether
imposed by the United States, any state, local or other taxing authority,
outstanding against DJONT or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective
assets. The federal, state and local tax returns of DJONT or any of its
Subsidiaries have not been audited, nor has any of them received any notice of
any federal, state or local audit.

                  (i) DJONT and its Subsidiaries have good and marketable title
to all of their respective properties and assets used in their business or owned
by them, whether real, personal, tangible or intangible (except for real
properties and other assets held pursuant to leases as described



                                      -8-
<PAGE>   12

in Schedule 2.3(f)), free and clear of all mortgages, liens, pledges, easements,
covenants, conditions, restrictions; claims and encumbrances, other than (i) as
referred to in the Financial Statements (defined below), (ii) liens consisting
of zoning or planning restrictions, easements, permits and other restrictions or
limitations on the use of real property or irregularities in title thereto which
do not materially detract from the value of, or impair the use of, such property
by DJONT or a Subsidiary in the operation of its business, (iii) liens imposed
by law and incurred in the ordinary course of business for obligations not past
due to carriers, warehouseman, laborers, material users and the like, (iv) liens
in respect of pledges or deposits under workers' compensation laws or similar
legislation, and (v) liens for taxes not yet due and payable. DJONT and its
Subsidiaries have possession of all assets and properties owned or leased by
them. None of the operations of DJONT and its Subsidiaries on such leased real
property is in violation of any applicable zoning requirement or classification,
environmental statute, building code, pollution control ordinance or statute or
any other applicable law, ordinance, regulation, order or requirement relating
to such properties or to such operations. No party has commenced, nor has DJONT
nor any Subsidiary received notice of the commencement of, any proceeding that
would affect the present zoning classification of any property owned or leased
by any of them. No portion of leased real property has been condemned,
requisitioned or taken by any governmental authority, and, to the best of
DJONT's knowledge, no such action is threatened. Subject to the terms of its
leases, DJONT and its Subsidiaries have the right to quiet enjoyment of all
leased real property for the full term of each lease and any renewal option.
DJONT and its Subsidiaries have all rights of ingress and egress necessary for
all operations conducted by them.

                  (j) The financial statements of DJONT and its Subsidiaries
provided to the General Partner and included in the General Partner's Form 10-Q
for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2000 (collectively, the "Financial
Statements") are complete and present fairly the financial position of the DJONT
and its Subsidiaries and the results of their operations as of the dates of the
Financial Statements and for the periods covered by the Financial Statements.
Except to the extent reflected or reserved against in the Financial Statements,
neither DJONT nor any Subsidiary, as of the Closing Date, has any liabilities of
any nature, whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise. The Financial
Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles applied on a consistent basis.

                  (k) Since September 30, 2000, DJONT and its Subsidiaries have
operated their business only in the usual, regular and ordinary manner as the
business was conducted prior to such date, and there has not been any material
adverse change in the business, prospects or properties of the business,
including any material damage, destruction or loss (whether or not covered by
insurance).

         2.4 Contributors' Indemnity. Contributors jointly and severally agree
to indemnify and hold FLLP and General Partner harmless of and from all
liabilities, losses, damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees) which FLLP or General Partner may suffer or incur by reason of
any act or cause of action occurring or accruing prior to the Closing Date and
arising from the ownership or operation of the Contributed Assets prior to the
Closing Date.



                                      -9-
<PAGE>   13

         2.5 FLLP's and General Partner's Indemnity. FLLP and General Partner
jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold Contributors harmless of and
from all liabilities, losses, damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonably
attorneys' fees) which the Contributors may suffer or incur by reason of any act
or cause of action occurring or accruing subsequent to the Closing Date and
arising from the ownership or operation of the Contributed Assets subsequent to
the Closing Date.

         2.6 Maintenance of Debt.

                  (a) FLLP covenants to the Contributors that FLLP will maintain
indebtedness (above and beyond any amount of FLLP's indebtedness that previously
has been guaranteed or agreed to be reimbursed by parties other than the
Contributors) (the "Required Indebtedness") under that certain Sixth Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of December 18, 2000, by and among FLLP,
General Partner, the financial institutions party thereto (the "Lenders"), and
The Chase Manhattan Bank, as administrative agent for the Lenders, as such
agreement may be amended, modified, restated, or replaced from time to time (the
"Credit Agreement"), or under any replacement or additional line of credit of
FLLP, in a principal amount equal to the lesser of (i) $25,000,000 or (ii) the
aggregate negative capital account balances of the Contributors as of the
Closing Date (the "Initial Negative Capital Accounts"), until the earlier of (A)
five years following the Closing Date or (B) the date on which the Contributors
have redeemed or otherwise disposed of all of their Units.

                  (b) The Required Indebtedness shall be reduced to the extent
that the Contributors redeem their Units, in whole or in part, in exchange for
Common Stock or for cash, or otherwise dispose of some or all of their Units
(the Units that are so redeemed or disposed of are referred to herein as
"Stepped-Up Basis Units"). In such a case, the Required Indebtedness shall be
reduced by an amount equal to the original Required Indebtedness prior to any
reduction multiplied by a fraction equal to (i) the portion of the Initial
Negative Capital Accounts allocable to the Stepped-Up Basis Units redeemed or
transferred immediately prior to the reduction of the Required Indebtedness,
divided by (ii) the Initial Negative Capital Accounts.

                  (c) FLLP shall indemnify the Contributors against any and all
federal and state income tax liability (including interest and penalties), plus
reasonable attorney's fees (if any), incurred by the Contributors as a result of
FLLP's breach of its obligation to maintain debt pursuant to this Section 2.6.

                  (d) To the extent that, at the end of the five (5) year
period, the Required Indebtedness remains in place, each Contributor, with the
consent of General Partner, may separately elect to continue, renew, and extend
the Reimbursement Agreement on the same terms, conditions, and priorities on a
year-to-year basis.

         2.7 Restrictions on Subsequent Disposition of the Contributed Assets or
Certain Successor Assets. FLLP covenants and agrees that, until the earlier of
(i) five (5) years after the Closing Date and (ii) the date on which the
Contributors, in the aggregate, no longer own at least 25% of the Units issued
to the Contributors hereunder on the Closing Date, FLLP will not sell,



                                      -10-
<PAGE>   14

assign, transfer, distribute or otherwise dispose of the Contributed Assets (or
any successor asset or assets acquired by FLLP in exchange for the Contributed
Assets in a non-taxable transaction, such as stock in a "taxable REIT
subsidiary" of General Partner that is acquired by FLLP in a tax-free
transaction under Code section 351 ("Successor Assets")) in a transaction that
would result in the allocation of taxable income or gain by FLLP to the
Contributors under Code section 704(c). Nothing in this Section 2.7 shall
prevent FLLP or one or more of its affiliates from (i) pledging or encumbering
any of the Contributed Assets or Successor Assets, as applicable, or (ii)
assigning, transferring, or otherwise disposing of the Contributed Assets or
Successor Assets, as applicable, to a subsidiary 100% of the beneficial
ownership interests in which is owned by FLLP and/or General Partner as long as
such transfer does not result in the allocation of taxable income or gain to the
Contributors under Code section 704(c). FLLP shall indemnify the Contributors
against any and all federal and state income tax liability (including interest
and penalties), plus reasonable attorney's fees (if any), incurred by the
Contributors as a result of FLLP's breach of its obligation not to dispose of
the Contributed Assets or Successor Assets, as applicable, pursuant to this
Section 2.7.

         2.8 Reimbursement Agreement. General Partner is a co-obligor with
respect to the loan extended pursuant to the Credit Agreement (the "Loan") and
the Loan is a recourse obligation of General Partner. Pursuant to the
Reimbursement Agreement, the Contributors, severally and in proportion to each
Contributor's respective share of the Reimbursable Amount (as described in
Section 3 of the Reimbursement Agreement), but not jointly, are agreeing to
reimburse General Partner for the amount that General Partner must pay with
respect to the Loan (or bear the economic risk of loss for); provided, however,
that (i) the amount that each Contributor is required to pay pursuant to the
Reimbursement Agreement will in no event exceed its respective share of the
Reimbursable Amount and (ii) the Contributors will be required to pay the
Reimbursable Amount only to the extent that General Partner does not otherwise
recover (or is relieved of paying as a result of recoveries by the Lenders) an
amount at least equal to the Reimbursable Amount after (A) the Lenders and the
Reimbursee have exhausted their remedies against FLLP's assets and the assets of
any person or entity other than the Reimbursee that enters into a guaranty with
respect to the Loan and (B) the Reimbursee has demanded payment from any other
person or entity that enters into a reimbursement agreement with the Reimbursee.
The Reimbursement Agreement provides for the Contributors to reimburse General
Partner for an amount up to their Initial Negative Capital Accounts, but not to
exceed an aggregate amount of $25,000,000 in principal amount for both
Contributors.

         2.9 Tax Elections. FLLP hereby agrees to use the 'traditional method"
of making Code section 704(c) allocations as described in section 704-3(b) of
the Treasury Regulations with respect to the Contributed Assets or Successor
Assets, as applicable.

         2.10 Cooperation. If FLLP or one of its affiliates takes any action
with respect to the Contributed Assets or Successor Assets, as applicable, or
the Required Indebtedness and Contributors give written notice to FLLP of
material adverse tax implications to Contributors as a result of such action
(with reasonable detail of such anticipated tax implications), then FLLP shall
reasonably cooperate with Contributors, at Contributors' sole cost (including
the reimbursement of FLLP for its costs including attorneys' fees), in
Contributors' efforts to avoid or minimize the impact



                                      -11-
<PAGE>   15

on Contributors' tax liability resulting from such action. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, however, this Section 2.10 shall not be deemed to require FLLP to (i)
delay the timing of such action, (ii) alter the economic benefits to be received
by FLLP or its affiliates from the occurrence of such action, (iii) increase
FLLP's or its affiliates' legal, financial, tax, or other risks, or (iv) extend
the period of its obligations under Section 2.6 or Section 2.7 hereof. FLLP
shall use its best efforts to give Contributors reasonable advance notice of any
action with respect to the Contributed Assets or Successor Assets, as
applicable, or the Required Indebtedness which may have material adverse tax
implications to Contributors; provided, however, that any unintentional failure
by FLLP to give any such notice to Contributors shall not be deemed a breach of
FLLP's obligations hereunder.

                                  ARTICLE III.

                                    EXHIBIT A

                             REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT

         THIS REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is entered into as of
January 1, 2001, by and among FELCOR, INC., a Texas corporation ("FCI"), RGC
LEASING, INC., a Nevada corporation ("RGC" and, together with FCI, the
"Reimbursors"), and FELCOR LODGING TRUST INCORPORATED, a Maryland corporation
(the "Reimbursee").

                                    RECITALS

         A. The Reimbursee is the sole general partner of FelCor Lodging Limited
Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership ("FLLP").

         B. Pursuant to a Contribution Agreement, dated as of January 1, 2001
(the "Contribution Agreement"), between the Reimbursors, FLLP, the Reimbursee,
and DJONT Operations, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("DJONT"),
the Reimbursors contributed all of the outstanding membership interests in DJONT
to FLLP in exchange for limited partnership interests ("Units") in FLLP (the
"Contribution").

         C. Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, until the earlier of (i)
January 1, 2006 or (ii) the date on which the Reimbursors have redeemed or
otherwise disposed of all of their Units, FLLP agreed to maintain indebtedness
(above and beyond any amount of FLLP's indebtedness guaranteed or agreed to be
reimbursed by parties other than the Reimbursors) (the "Required Indebtedness")
in a principal amount equal to the lesser of (i) $25,000,000 or (ii) the
aggregate negative capital account balances of the Reimbursors as of the Closing
Date (the "Initial Negative Capital Accounts").

         D. Pursuant to that certain Sixth Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement, dated as of December 18, 2000 (the "Credit Agreement"), by and among
FLLP, the Reimbursee, the financial institutions party thereto (the "Lenders"),
and The Chase Manhattan Bank, as administrative agent for the Lenders, the
Lenders have extended a loan (the "Loan") to FLLP. The Loan is evidenced by
Promissory Notes dated December 18, 2000, in the aggregate original principal
amount of $600 Million (the "Notes"). The Notes are unsecured.

         E. The Reimbursee is a co-obligor with respect to the Loan and the Loan
is a recourse obligation of the Reimbursee.

         F. The Reimbursors have agreed to reimburse the Reimbursee up to a
certain amount in the event (i) the Lenders have exhausted their remedies
against FLLP's assets and the assets of any person or entity (other than the
Reimbursee) that enters into a guaranty with respect to the Loan (collectively,
the "Other Guarantors") and (ii) the Reimbursee has demanded payment from any
other person or entity that enters into a reimbursement agreement with the
Reimbursee (collectively, the "Other Reimbursors"), and the Reimbursee must pay,
directly or indirectly, to the Lenders (or bear the economic risk of loss for)
any portion of the Required Indebtedness. The amounts for which the


<PAGE>   22

Reimbursors have agreed to reimburse the Reimbursee are set forth in Section 3
hereof. The aggregate amount for which the Reimbursee may be reimbursed pursuant
to this Agreement is referred to herein as the "Reimbursable Amount."

         NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Reimbursors and the Reimbursee
hereby agree as follows:

                                    AGREEMENT

         1. TERM.

                  (a) This Agreement shall terminate on January 1, 2006;
provided, however, this Agreement shall terminate as to a Reimbursor twelve
months after the taxable disposition by such Reimbursor of all of its Units,
provided that no demand for payment has been made by the Reimbursee on such
Reimbursor before the expiration of such twelve-month period.

                  (b) On January 1, 2006, each Reimbursor, with the consent of
the Reimbursee, if the Required Indebtedness remains in place, may separately
elect to continue, renew, and extend this Agreement on the same terms,
conditions, and priorities on a year-to-year basis.

         2. REIMBURSEMENT OBLIGATIONS. The Reimbursors, severally and in
proportion to each Reimbursor's respective share of the Reimbursable Amount (as
described in Section 3 hereof), but not jointly, hereby agree to reimburse the
Reimbursee for the amount that the Reimbursee must pay with respect to the Loan
(or bear the economic risk of loss for); provided, however, that (i) the amount
that each Reimbursor is required to pay pursuant to this Agreement shall in no
event exceed its respective share of the Reimbursable Amount and (ii) the
Reimbursors shall be required to pay the Reimbursable Amount only to the extent
that the Reimbursee does not otherwise recover (or is relieved of paying as a
result of recoveries by the Lenders) an amount at least equal to the
Reimbursable Amount after (A) the Lenders and the Reimbursee have exhausted
their remedies against FLLP's assets and the assets of any Other Guarantors and
(B) the Reimbursee has demanded payment from any Other Reimbursors. The
Reimbursors' obligations set forth in this Section 2 shall be referred to herein
as the "Reimbursement Obligations."

         3. RESPECTIVE SHARES OF REIMBURSABLE AMOUNT. Each Reimbursor's
respective share of the Reimbursable Amount is as follows.

                  RGC                                      $  1,200,000
</TABLE>



<PAGE>   23

         4. MODIFICATION OF REIMBURSABLE AMOUNT. The Reimbursable Amount shall
not be reduced by any regularly scheduled amortization payments made under the
documents evidencing or securing the Loan (the "Loan Documents"), or by any
Extraordinary Payments (as defined in this Section 4). For purposes of this
Section 4, the term "Extraordinary Payment" shall mean any payment made to the
Lenders to reduce the principal amount of the Loan other than regularly
scheduled amortization payments, including, without limitation: (a) any partial
prepayment of the Loan; (b) any award by a governmental or quasi-governmental
entity by reason of a taking of all or any portion of FLLP's property, or any
interest therein, in condemnation or by exercise of the power of eminent domain
or by an agreement in lieu thereof, to the extent applied in reduction of the
Loan; and (c) any insurance proceeds, or the amount thereof remaining after
repair of damage to FLLP's property caused by fire or other casualty, to the
extent applied in reduction of the Loan.

         5. REIMBURSEMENT PROCEDURES. Any reimbursement made under this
Agreement shall be made no later than 90 days after a Reimbursor's receipt of a
written request by the Reimbursee stating the amount of the Reimbursement
Obligations. If a claim under this Agreement is not paid in full by a Reimbursor
within 90 days after a written request for payment has first been received by
the Reimbursor, the Reimbursee may at any time thereafter bring an action
against the Reimbursor to recover the Reimbursor's unpaid amount of the claim.

         6. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of
the parties and supersedes any and all previous agreements among the Reimbursors
and the Reimbursee, whether written or oral, respecting the subject matter
hereof and thereof. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by an
instrument in writing signed by or on behalf of the parties hereto.

         7. AMENDMENTS; GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement may not be waived,
modified, or amended except by an agreement in writing signed by the Reimbursors
and the Reimbursee. The respective rights and obligations of the Reimbursors and
the Reimbursee shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of Texas.

         8. SECTION HEADINGS. The section headings in this Agreement are
included for convenience only and are not a part of, nor shall be used in
construing, this Agreement.

         9. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
shall inure to the benefit of the Reimbursors and the Reimbursee, and their
respective successors and assigns. Except for the Reimbursors and the
Reimbursee, and their respective successors and assigns, no other person shall
be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement or to rely hereon. Upon the
dissolution or liquidation of a Reimbursor (the "Predecessor Reimbursor"), the
successors, assigns, and/or distributees of the Predecessor Reimbursor shall,
without the necessity of obtaining the consent or approval of the Reimbursee,
assume or otherwise undertake the Reimbursement Obligations of the Predecessor
Reimbursor, and shall enter into and deliver to the Reimbursee an agreement
wherein such successors, assigns, and/or distributees assume the Reimbursement
Obligations of the Predecessor Reimbursor under this Agreement, in order to
satisfy all or any portion of the Reimbursement Obligations of the Predecessor
Reimbursor. If one or more, but not all, of the


<PAGE>   24

successors, assigns, and/or distributees elect to assume or otherwise undertake
their respective shares of the Reimbursement Obligations of the Predecessor
Reimbursor, then all those making such election shall be severally liable for
their respective shares of the Predecessor Reimbursor's respective share of the
Reimbursable Amount, as determined pursuant to Section 4 hereof. Upon the merger
of any Reimbursor with another entity, the surviving entity shall, without the
necessity of obtaining the consent or approval of the Reimbursee, assume or
otherwise undertake the Reimbursement Obligations of the target entity and shall
enter into and deliver to the Reimbursee an agreement wherein such surviving
entity assumes the Reimbursement Obligations of the target entity under this
Agreement, in order to satisfy all or any portion of the Reimbursement
Obligations of the target entity.

         10. SEVERABILITY. If this Agreement would be held or determined to be
void, invalid, or unenforceable by reason of the amount of the Reimbursors'
liability under this Agreement, then, notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement to the contrary, the maximum amount of the liability of the
Reimbursors under this Agreement shall, without any further action by the
Reimbursors, the Reimbursee, or any other person, be automatically limited and
reduced to an amount that is valid and enforceable.

         11. NO SUBROGATION. Reimbursors hereby waive all rights of subrogation
or contribution that they may have against FLLP or the Reimbursee, whether
arising by contract or operation of law by reason of any payment pursuant
hereto.

         12. NOTICES. All notices or other communications hereunder shall be in
writing and shall be sent by: (a) overnight courier service or United States
Express Mail against receipt; or (b) Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested,
postage prepaid. Notices shall be deemed given two business days after being
