not later than the 45th calendar day after the receipt of such a Request by
Wyndham, Wyndham will use all reasonable efforts to cause to be filed with the
SEC a Required Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities
which Wyndham has been so requested to register by Holders thereof other than
the Initial Holder(s) initiating the Request by written request given to Wyndham
within 9 business days after the giving of such written notice by Wyndham,
providing for the registration under the Securities Act of the Registrable
Securities which Wyndham has been so requested to register by all such Holders,
to the extent necessary to permit the disposition of such Registrable Securities
so to be registered in accordance with the intended methods of distribution
thereof specified in such Request or further requests, and shall use all
reasonable efforts to have such Required Registration Statement declared
effective by the SEC as soon as practicable thereafter and to keep such Required
Registration Statement continuously effective for a period of at least 60
calendar days (or, in the case of an Underwritten Offering, such period as the
Underwriters shall reasonably require) following the date on which such Required
Registration Statement is declared effective (or such shorter period which will
terminate when all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Required
Registration Statement have been sold pursuant thereto), including, if
necessary, by filing with the SEC a post-effective amendment or a supplement to
the Required Registration Statement or the related Prospectus or any document
incorporated therein by reference or by filing any other required document or
otherwise supplementing or amending the Required Registration Statement, if
required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the
registration form used by Wyndham for such Required Registration Statement or by
the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities or blue sky laws, or
any rules and regulations thereunder.

          Wyndham shall not be required to effect, pursuant to this Section
2(a)(i), (i) a Required Registration hereunder unless Holders beneficially
owning Registrable Securities with an aggregate Market Value of $50 million have
initiated or joined in such Request and (ii) more than eight registrations in
the aggregate requested by the Holders, provided that so long as the Holders
collectively beneficially own Registrable Securities with a Market Value of at
least $100 million, the

                                       6
<PAGE>

Holders shall have the right to require Wyndham to effect additional Required
Registrations provided that the Registrable Securities included therein have an
aggregate Market Value of at least $50 million and provided further that any
Investor proposing to distribute its Registrable Securities to its partners or
shareholders shall have the right to require Wyndham to effect an additional
Required Registrations to facilitate such distribution.

          A Request may be withdrawn prior to the filing of the Required
Registration Statement by the Holder(s) which made such Request (a "Withdrawn
Request") and a Required Registration Statement may be withdrawn prior to the
effectiveness thereof by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities
included therein (a "Withdrawn Required Registration"), and, in either such
event, such withdrawal shall be treated as a Required Registration which shall
have been effected pursuant to clause (ii) of the immediately preceding
paragraph, except that the Holders may require Wyndham to disregard one
Withdrawn Request for purposes of such clause (ii).

          The Holders shall not, without Wyndham's consent, be entitled to
deliver a Request for a Required Registration after the completion of the
Required Registration if less than 90 calendar days have elapsed since (A) the
effective date of a prior Required Registration Statement, (B) in the case of a
Required Registration which is effected other than by means of an Underwritten
Offering, the date of sale by the Holders of their Registrable Securities
pursuant thereto or (C) the date of withdrawal of a Withdrawn Required
Registration.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, from and after the Closing, Wyndham may
delay the filing of a Required Registration Statement if the Board of Directors
of Wyndham determines that such action is in the best interests of Wyndham's
stockholders, and only for an aggregate number of days, taken together with any
Blackout Period invoked pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii), not to exceed 60 days in
any twelve month period (a "Blackout Period").

          The registration rights granted pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 2(a)(i) shall be in addition to the registration rights granted pursuant
to the other provisions of this Section 2.

          (ii)  Shelf Registration.  Promptly upon the Request of the Holders
          ------------------------
(but in no event later than the 75th calendar day after the receipt of such a
Request), the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to promptly process,
file and cause to become effective a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the
"Shelf") for an

                                       7
<PAGE>

offering of Registrable Securities to be made on a delayed or continuous basis
pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any similar rule that may be
adopted by the SEC) and permitting sales in ordinary course brokerage or dealer
transactions not involving an Underwritten Offering. Each Holder which owns, on
the date of the initial filing of the Shelf (the "Initial Filing Date"),
Registrable Securities (each such Holder, an "Eligible Holder") shall have the
right to resell such Registrable Securities under the Shelf until the date that
such Eligible Holder sells all of such Registrable Securities, whether or not
under the Shelf (such Eligible Holder's "Termination Date"). The Company agrees
to use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf continuously effective and
usable for resale of Registrable Securities until all Eligible Holders lose
their rights to resell Registrable Securities under the Shelf.

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) from the Closing and until the
effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement, Wyndham may delay the filing of
a Shelf Registration Statement, or (B) from and after the effectiveness of a
Shelf Registration Statement, each Holder agrees that it will not effect any
sales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration, in
either case, if the Board of Directors of Wyndham determines that such action is
in the best interests of Wyndham's stockholders, and only for a Blackout Period,
taken together with any Blackout Period invoked pursuant to Section 2(a)(i), not
to exceed 60 days.

          The registration rights granted pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 2(a)(ii) shall be in addition to the registration rights granted
pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 2.

          (iii)  Priority in Required and Shelf Registrations.  If a Required or
                 --------------------------------------------
Shelf Registration pursuant to this Section 2(a) involves an Underwritten
Offering, and the sole Underwriter or the lead managing Underwriter, as the case
may be, of such Underwritten Offering shall advise Wyndham in writing (with a
copy to each Holder requesting registration) on or before the date 5 days prior
to the date then scheduled for such offering that, in its opinion, the amount of
Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Required or Shelf
Registration exceeds the amount which can be sold in such offering without
adversely affecting the distribution of the Registrable Securities being
offered, Wyndham will include in such Required or Shelf Registration only the
amount of Registrable Securities that Wyndham is so advised can be sold in such
offering; provided, however, that Wyndham shall be required to include in such
Required or Shelf Registration: first, all Registrable Securities requested to
be included in the Required or Shelf Registration by the Holders and, to the
extent not all such Registrable Securities can be included in such Required
Registration, the number of Registrable Securities to be included shall be

                                       8
<PAGE>

allocated pro rata on the basis of the number of shares of Preferred Stock or
Common Stock (whichever is applicable) beneficially owned at that time by all
the Holders requesting to participate in the Required or Shelf Registration or
on such other basis as shall be agreed among the Holders, by agreement of the
Majority Holders; and second, if all Registrable Securities requested to be
included in the Required or Shelf Registration by the Holders can be so
included, all other securities requesting, in accordance with any registration
rights which are granted in compliance with Section 6(a), to be included in
such Required Registration which are of the same class as the Registrable
Securities and, to the extent not all such securities can be included in such
Required or Shelf Registration, the number of securities to be included shall be
allocated pro rata among the holders thereof requesting inclusion in such
Required or Shelf Registration on the basis of the number of securities
requested to be included by all such holders.

          (b)  Incidental Registration.
               -----------------------

          (i) Right to Include Registrable Securities.  If at any time Wyndham
              ---------------------------------------
proposes to register any of their Preferred Stock or Common Stock under the
Securities Act (other than (A) any registration of public sales or distributions
solely by and for the account of Wyndham of securities issued (x) pursuant to
any employee benefit or similar plan or any dividend reinvestment plan or (y) in
any acquisition by Wyndham, or (B) pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof), either in
connection with a primary offering for cash for the account of Wyndham or a
secondary offering, Wyndham will, each time it intends to effect such a
registration, give written notice to all Initial Holders of Registrable
Securities at least 10 business days prior to the initial filing of a
Registration Statement with the SEC pertaining thereto, informing such Initial
Holders of its intent to file such Registration Statement and of the Holders'
rights to request the registration of the Registrable Securities held by the
Holders under this Section 2(b) (the "Company Notice").  Upon the written
request of any Initial Holder made within 7 business days after any such Company
Notice is given (which request shall specify the Registrable Securities intended
to be disposed of by such Initial Holder and such Initial Holder's Permitted
Transferees and, unless the applicable registration is intended to effect a
primary offering of Preferred Stock or Common Stock for cash for the account of
Wyndham, the intended method of distribution thereof), Wyndham will use all
reasonable efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of all
Registrable Securities which Wyndham has been so requested to register by such
Initial Holders to the extent required to permit the disposition (in accordance
with the intended methods of distribution thereof or, in the case of a
registration which is intended to effect a primary offering for cash for the
account of Wyndham, in accordance with

                                       9
<PAGE>

Wyndham's intended method of distribution) of the Registrable Securities so
requested to be registered, including, if necessary, by filing with the SEC a
post-effective amendment or a supplement to the Incidental Registration
Statement or the related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by
reference or by filing any other required document or otherwise supplementing or
amending the Incidental Registration Statement, if required by the rules,
regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by Wyndham
for such Incidental Registration Statement or by the Securities Act, any state
securities or blue sky laws, or any rules and regulations thereunder; provided,
however, that if, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to
register any securities and prior to the effective date of the Incidental
Registration Statement filed in connection with such registration, Wyndham shall
determine for any reason not to register or to delay registration of such
securities, Wyndham may, at its election, give written notice of such
determination to each Initial Holder of Registrable Securities and, thereupon,
(A) in the case of a determination not to register, Wyndham shall be relieved of
their obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such
registration (but not from their obligation to pay the Registration Expenses
incurred in connection therewith), and (B) in the case of a determination to
delay such registration, Wyndham shall be permitted to delay registration of any
Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Incidental Registration
Statement for the same period as the delay in registering such other securities.

          The registration rights granted pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 2(b) shall be in addition to the registration rights granted pursuant to
the other provisions of this Section.

          (ii) Priority in Incidental Registrations.  If a registration pursuant
               ------------------------------------
to this Section 2(b) involves an Underwritten Offering of the securities so
being registered, whether or not for sale for the account of Wyndham, and the
sole Underwriter or the lead managing Underwriter, as the case may be, of such
Underwritten Offering shall advise Wyndham in writing (with a copy to each
Initial Holder of Registrable Securities requesting registration) on or before
the date 5 days prior to the date then scheduled for such offering that, in its
opinion, the amount of securities (including Registrable Securities) requested
to be included in such registration exceeds the amount which can be sold in (or
during the time of) such offering without adversely affecting the distribution
of the securities being offered, then Wyndham will include in such registration:
first, all the securities entitled to be sold pursuant to such Registration
Statement without reference to the incidental registration rights of any
holder (including the Holders), and second, the amount of other securities
(including Registrable Securities) requested to be included in such

                                       10

registration that Wyndham is so advised can be sold in (or during the time of)
such offering, allocated, if necessary, pro rata among the holders (including
the Holders) thereof requesting such registration on the basis of the number of
the securities (including Registrable Securities) beneficially owned at the time
by the holders (including the Holders) requesting inclusion of their securities;
provided, however, that in the event Wyndham will not, by virtue of this
paragraph, include in any such registration all of the Registrable Securities of
any Holder requested to be included in such registration, such Holder may, upon
written notice to Wyndham given within 3 days of the time such Holder first is
notified of such matter, reduce the amount of Registrable Securities it desires
to have included in such registration, whereupon only the Registrable
Securities, if any, it desires to have included will be so included and the
Holders not so reducing shall be entitled to a corresponding increase in the
amount of Registrable Securities to be included in such registration.

          (c) Expenses.  Wyndham agrees to pay all Registration Expenses in
              --------
connection with (i) each of the registrations requested pursuant to Section
2(a) and (ii) each registration as to which Holders request inclusion of
Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2(b).  All Selling Expenses relating
to securities registered on behalf of the Holders shall be borne by the Holders
of shares included in such registration, other selling stockholders and Wyndham
pro rata on the basis of the number of shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock
so registered.

          (d) Effective Registration Statement; Suspension.  Subject to the
              --------------------------------------------
third paragraph of Section 2(a)(i), a Registration Statement pursuant to Section
2(a) will not be deemed to have become effective (and the related registration
will not be deemed to have been effected) unless it has been declared effective
by the SEC prior to a request by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable
Securities included in such registration that such Registration Statement be
withdrawn; provided, however, that if, after it has been declared effective, the
offering of any Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement
is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement
of the SEC or any other governmental agency or court shall have been in effect
for at least 30 days, such Registration Statement will be deemed not to have
become effective and the related registration will not be deemed to have been
effected.

          (e) Selection of Underwriters.   At any time or from time to time, the
              -------------------------
Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities covered by a Required
Registration Statement may elect to have such Registrable Securities sold in an
Underwritten Offering and may select the investment banker or investment bankers
and manager or managers that will serve as lead and co-managing Underwriters
with

                                       11
<PAGE>

respect to the offering of such Registrable Securities, subject to the consent
of Wyndham which shall not be unreasonably withheld. No Holder may participate
in any Underwritten Offering hereunder unless such Holder (a) agrees to sell
such Holder's securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements
approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (b)
completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, custody
agreements, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required
under the terms of such Underwritten Offering.

          Section  3.    Restrictions on Public Sale by Wyndham.
                         --------------------------------------

          If requested by the sole Underwriter or lead managing Underwriter(s)
in such Underwritten Offering, Wyndham agrees not to effect any public sale or
distribution (other than public sales or distributions solely by and for the
account of Wyndham of securities issued pursuant to any employee benefit or
similar plan or any dividend reinvestment plan) of any securities during the
period commencing on the date Wyndham receives a Request from any Initial Holder
and continuing until (a) for a Registration Statement relating to such
Underwritten Offering other than a Shelf Registration, 90 days after such
Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC and (b) for a Shelf
Registration Statement relating to such Underwritten Offering, 90 days after the
commencement of such Underwritten Offering, (or for such shorter period as the

the sole Underwriter or lead managing Underwriter(s) in such Underwritten
Offering.

the provisions of Section 11 (a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder;

          Section 5.     Indemnification; Contribution.
                         -----------------------------

          (a) Indemnification by Wyndham.  Wyndham agrees, jointly and
              --------------------------
severally, to indemnify and hold harmless each Person who participates as an
underwriter (any such Person being an "Underwriter"), each Holder and their
respective partners, directors, officers and employees and each Person, if any,
who controls any Holder or Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act as follows:

                                       18
<PAGE>

          (i) against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages,
     judgments and expenses whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue
     statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
     Registration Statement pursuant to which Registrable Securities were
     registered under the Securities Act, including all documents incorporated
     therein by reference, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a
     material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
     statements therein not misleading or arising out of any untrue statement or
     alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus,
     including all documents incorporated therein by reference, or the omission
     or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make
     the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they
     were made, not misleading;

          (ii) against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages,
     judgments and expenses whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the
     aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, investigation or
     proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or
     of any other claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or
     omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, if such
     settlement is effected with the written consent of Wyndham; and

          (iii)  against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including
     fees and disbursements of counsel), incurred in investigating, preparing or
     defending against any litigation, investigation or proceeding by any
     governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, in each case whether
     or not such Person is a party, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such
     untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or
     omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under
     subparagraph (i) or (ii) above;

provided, however, that this indemnity agreement does not apply to any Holder or
Underwriter with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage, judgment or
expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus, or the omission or
alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading, in any such case made in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished to Wyndham by such Holder or Underwriter expressly
for use in a Registration

                                       19
<PAGE>

Statement (or any amendment thereto) or any Prospectus (or any amendment or
supplement thereto).

          (b) Indemnification by Holders.  (i)  Each selling Holder severally
              --------------------------
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Wyndham, each Underwriter and the other
selling Holders, and each of their respective partners, directors, officers and
employees (including each officer of Wyndham who signed the Registration
Statement), and each Person, if any, who controls Wyndham, any Underwriter or
any other selling Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act,
against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages, judgments and expenses
described in the indemnity contained in paragraph (a) of this Section
(provided that any settlement of the type described therein is effected with the
written consent of such selling Holder), as incurred, but only with respect to
untrue statements or alleged untrue statements of a material fact contained in
any Prospectus or the omissions, or alleged omissions therefrom of a material
fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading, in any such case made in reliance
upon and in conformity with written information furnished to Wyndham by such
selling Holder expressly for use in such Registration Statement (or any
amendment thereto) or such Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto).

          (c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings.  Each indemnified party or
              --------------------------------------
parties shall give reasonably prompt notice to each indemnifying party or
parties of any action or proceeding commenced against it in respect of which
indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure so to notify an indemnifying
party or parties shall not relieve it or them from any liability which it or
they may have under this indemnity agreement, except to the extent that the
indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by such failure to give notice.
If the indemnifying party or parties so elects within a reasonable time after
receipt of such notice, the indemnifying party or parties may assume the defense
of such action or proceeding at such indemnifying party's or parties' expense
with counsel chosen by the indemnifying party or parties and approved by the
indemnified party defendant in such action or proceeding, which approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that, if such indemnified party
or parties determine in good faith that a conflict of interest exists and that
therefore it is advisable for such indemnified party or parties to be
represented by separate counsel or that, upon advice of counsel, there may be
legal defenses available to it or them which are different from or in addition
to those available to the indemnifying party, then the indemnifying party or
parties shall not be entitled to assume such defense and the indemnified party
or parties shall be entitled to separate counsel (limited in each jurisdiction
to one

                                       20
<PAGE>

counsel for all Underwriters and another counsel for all other indemnified
parties under this Agreement) at the indemnifying party's or parties' expense.
If an indemnifying party or parties is not so entitled to assume the defense of
such action or does not assume such defense, after having received the notice
referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph, the indemnifying party or
parties will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the indemnified
party or parties (limited in each jurisdiction to one counsel for all
Underwriters and another counsel for all other indemnified parties under this
Agreement). No indemnifying party or parties will be liable for any settlement
effected without the written consent of such indemnifying party or parties,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If an indemnifying party is
entitled to assume, and assumes, the defense of such action or proceeding in
accordance with this paragraph, such indemnifying party or parties shall not,
except as otherwise provided in this subsection (c), be liable for any fees and
expenses of counsel for the indemnified parties incurred thereafter in
connection with such action or proceeding.

          (d) Contribution.  (i)  In order to provide for just and equitable
              ------------
contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in
this Section is for any reason held to be unenforceable by the indemnified
parties although applicable in accordance with its terms in respect of any
losses, liabilities, claims, damages, judgments and expenses suffered by an
indemnified party referred to therein, each applicable indemnifying party, in
lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount
paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses,
liabilities, claims, damages, judgments and expenses in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of Wyndham on the one hand and of the
liable selling Holders (including, in each case, that of their respective
officers, directors, employees and agents) on the other in connection with the
statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims,
damages, judgments or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations.  The relative fault of Wyndham on the one hand and of the liable
selling Holders (including, in each case, that of their respective officers,
directors, employees and agents) on the other shall be determined by reference
to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact
relates to information supplied by Wyndham, on the one hand, or by or on behalf
of the selling Holders, on the other, and the parties' relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
statement or omission.  The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of
the losses, liabilities, claims, damages, judgments and expenses referred to
above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in
paragraph (c) of this Section, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably

                                       21
<PAGE>

incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action
or claim.

          (ii) Wyndham and each Holder of Registrable Securities agree that it
would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this paragraph (d)
were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation
which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in sub-
paragraph (i) above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), in
the case of distributions to the public, an indemnifying Holder shall not be
required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which (A) the total
price at which the Registrable Securities sold by such indemnifying Holder and
its affiliated indemnifying Holders and distributed to the public were offered
to the public exceeds (B) the amount of any damages which such indemnifying
Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged
untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11 (f) of the Securities Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation.

          (iii) For purposes of this Section, each Person, if any, who
controls a Holder or an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act (and their respective partners, directors, officers and
employees) shall have the same rights to contribution as such Holder or
Underwriter; and each director of Wyndham, each officer of Wyndham who signed
the Registration Statement, and each Person, if any, who controls Wyndham within
the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, shall have the same rights to
contribution as Wyndham.

          Section 6.     Miscellaneous.
                         -------------

          (a) Inconsistent Agreements.  Wyndham is not a party to, and will not
              -----------------------
on or after the date of this Agreement enter into, any agreement which conflicts
with the provisions of this Agreement nor has Wyndham entered into any such
agreement, and Wyndham will not on or after the date of this Agreement modify in
any manner adverse to the Holders any such agreement; provided, however, that
nothing in this sentence shall prohibit Wyndham from granting registration
rights, which become exercisable from and after the Closing, to any Person (a
"Third Party") who becomes an owner of shares of any of Wyndham's capital stock
after the date hereof (including granting incidental registration rights with
respect to any Registration Statement required to be filed or maintained
hereunder) if and only if (i) the Third-Party's registration rights (including,
without limitation, demand registration rights) provide to the Holders of
Registrable Securities who seek to

                                       22
<PAGE>

participate in such registration (whether or not such registration is initiated
hereunder) rights no less favorable to such Holders than those rights provided
to the Holders hereunder as if such registration were a Required Registration
(including, without limitation, the priority provisions contained in Section
2(a)(iii)), provided, further, however, that if such registration is not
initiated by the Initial Holders such registration shall not be deemed one of
the eight Required Registrations for purposes of the limitations contained in
the second paragraph of Section 2(a)(i), and (ii) the Third Party is required to
enter into the agreements provided for in Section 3 hereof (as if it were
Wyndham) on the terms and for the period applicable to Wyndham (including
preventing sales pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act) if requested by
the sole Underwriter or lead managing Underwriter in an Underwritten Offering
initiated by Holders of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2(a). The
rights granted to the Holders hereunder do not in any way conflict with and are
not inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of Wyndham's other
issued and outstanding securities under any such agreements.

          (b) Amendments and Waivers.  The provisions of this Agreement,
              ----------------------
including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or
supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof
may not be given unless Wyndham has obtained the written consent of a majority
of the Holders and, if any such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or
consent would adversely affect the rights of any Holder hereunder, the written
consent of each Holder which is affected shall be obtained; provided, however,
that nothing herein shall prohibit any amendment, modification, supplement,
waiver or consent the effect of which is limited only to those Holders who have
agreed to such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent.

          (c) Notices.  All notices and other communications provided for or
              -------
permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand delivery, telex,
telecopier, or any courier guaranteeing overnight delivery (i) if to a Holder,
at the most current address given by such Holder to Wyndham by means of a notice
given in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph (c), which address
initially is, with respect to each Holder as of the date hereof, the address set
forth next to such Holder's name on the signature pages hereof with a copy to
Randall H. Doud, Esq., telecopier number (212) 735-2000, and with respect to
each Holder who becomes such after the date hereof, the address of such Holder
in the stock records of Wyndham, (ii) if to Wyndham, at 1950 Stemmons Freeway,
Suite 6001, Dallas, Texas 75207, telecopier number (214) 863-1527, Attention:
General Counsel, with a copy to Gilbert G. Menna, P.C., telecopier number (617)
523-1231, and thereafter at such other address, notice of which is given in
accordance with the provisions of this paragraph.

                                       23
<PAGE>

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Wyndham shall not be obligated to provide any
notice to any Holder which is not an Initial Holder except with respect to a
Required or Incidental Registration Statement which has been filed and pursuant
to which such Holder is identified as a selling stockholder.

          All such notices and communications shall be deemed to have been duly
given: at the time delivered by hand, if personally delivered; when answered
back, if telexed; when receipt is acknowledged, if telecopied; and on the next
business day if timely delivered to a courier guaranteeing overnight delivery.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 6(c) is intended to
enlarge the class of Persons which are Holders, as defined in the preamble of
this Agreement, and thus entitled to the rights granted hereunder.

          (d) Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit
              ----------------------
of and be binding upon the successors, assigns and transferees of each of the
parties, including, without the need for an express assignment, subsequent
Holders. If any successor, assignee or transferee of any Holder shall acquire
Registrable Securities in any manner, whether by operation of law or otherwise,
such Registrable Securities shall be held subject to all of the terms of this
Agreement, and by taking and holding such Registrable Securities such Person
shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to perform all of
the terms and provisions of this Agreement and to receive the benefits hereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 6(d) is intended to
enlarge the class of Persons which are Holders, as defined in the preamble of
this Agreement, and thus entitled to the rights granted hereunder.  For purposes
of this Agreement, "successor" for any entity other than a natural person shall
mean a successor to such entity as a result of such entity's merger,
consolidation, liquidation, dissolution, sale of substantially all of its
assets, or similar transaction.

          (e) Recapitalizations, Exchanges, Etc., Affecting Registrable
              ---------------------------------------------------------
Securities.  The provisions of this Agreement shall apply, to the full extent
----------
set forth herein with respect to the Registrable Securities, to any and all
securities or capital stock of Wyndham or any successor or assign of Wyndham
(whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets or otherwise) which may be
issued in respect of, in exchange for, or in substitution of such Registrable
Securities, by reason of any dividend, split, issuance, reverse split,
combination, recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or
otherwise.  Upon the occurrence of any of such events, Preferred Stock and
Common Stock amounts hereunder shall be appropriately adjusted if necessary.

                                       24
<PAGE>

          (f) Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more
              ------------
counterparts, each of which, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to
be an original, but all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute
one and the same instrument.

          (g) Descriptive Headings, Etc.  The headings in this Agreement are for
              -------------------------
convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the
meaning of terms contained herein.  Unless the context of this Agreement
otherwise requires: (1) words of any gender shall be deemed to include each
other gender; (2) words using the singular or plural number shall also include
the plural or singular number, respectively; (3) the words "hereof", "herein"
and "hereunder" and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall
refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this
Agreement, and Article, Section, paragraph and clause references are to the
Articles, Sections, paragraphs and clauses to this Agreement unless otherwise
specified; (4) the word "including" and words of similar import when used in
this Agreement shall mean "including, without limitation," unless otherwise
specified; (5) "or" is not exclusive; and (6) provisions apply to successive
events and transactions.

          (h) Severability.  In the event that any one or more of the
              ------------
provisions, paragraphs, words, clauses, phrases or sentences contained herein,
or the application thereof in any circumstances, is held invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity, legality and
enforceability of any such provision, paragraph, word, clause, phrase or
sentence in every other respect and of the other remaining provisions,
paragraphs, words, clauses, phrases or sentences hereof shall not be in any way
impaired, it being intended that all rights, powers and privileges of the
parties hereto shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

          (i) Governing Law.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
              -------------
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE (WITHOUT GIVING
EFFECT TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF).

          (j) Specific Performance.  The parties hereto acknowledge that there
              --------------------
would be no adequate remedy at law if any party fails to perform in any material
respect any of its obligations hereunder, and accordingly agree that each party,
in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled at law or in equity,
shall be entitled to compel specific performance of the obligations of any other
party under this Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement in any court of the United States or any State thereof having
jurisdiction.

          (k) Entire Agreement.  This Agreement is intended by the parties as a
              ----------------
final expression of their agreement and intended to be a complete and exclusive
statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of
the subject matter contained herein.  This Agreement supersedes all prior
agreements and understandings between Wyndham, on the one hand, and the other
parties to this Agreement, on the other, with respect to such subject matter.
