Item 2. Significant Events
Interstate Merger
On June 2, 1998, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the
"Merger Agreement") dated as of December 2, 1997 by and among Patriot American
Hospitality, Inc. ("Patriot REIT"), Wyndham International, Inc. ("Wyndham" and,
together with Patriot REIT, the "Patriot Companies") and Interstate Hotels
Company ("Interstate"), Interstate merged with and into Patriot REIT with
Patriot REIT being the surviving corporation (the "Interstate Merger").
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of Interstate
common stock generally was converted into the right to receive, at the option of
the holder of such share through a cash election procedure (subject to proration
as described below), either (i) $37.50 in cash (the "Cash Consideration") or
(ii) 1.341 paired shares of Patriot REIT common stock and Wyndham common stock
("Paired Shares"). The proration provisions of the Merger Agreement were
designed to ensure that approximately 40% of the outstanding shares of
Interstate common stock would be converted into the right to receive Cash
Consideration and the remaining approximately 60% of the outstanding shares of
Interstate common stock would be converted into the right to receive Paired
Shares.
Because holders of more than 40% of the outstanding shares of
Interstate common stock elected to receive Cash Consideration, the amount of
Cash Consideration each Interstate stockholder who made a cash election was
entitled to receive was prorated according to the number of shares of Interstate
common stock as to which each such election was made. Holders of shares of
Interstate common stock who duly elected to receive cash in lieu of Paired
Shares received (i) $37.50 per share in Cash Consideration in respect of
43.36115% of such Interstate shares (rounded down to the nearest whole share),
(ii) Paired Shares (at the 1.341 exchange ratio) in respect of the remaining
56.63885% of such Interstate shares (rounded up to the nearest whole share), and
(iii) a cash payment in lieu of the fractional interest in any Paired Shares
resulting from the conversion in the foregoing clause (ii). Holders of shares of
Interstate common stock who did not make cash elections received (A) Paired
Shares (at the 1.341 exchange ratio) in respect of all of their Interstate
shares, and (B) a cash payment in lieu of the fractional interest in any Paired
Shares resulting from the conversion in the foregoing clause (A). In addition,
former Interstate stockholders were entitled to receive a cash distribution (the
"Special Interstate Dividend") of $0.429 on each share of Interstate common
stock which was exchanged for Paired Shares in the Interstate Merger.
As a result of the Interstate Merger, former stockholders of Interstate
received an aggregate of 28,705,443 Paired Shares and $525,386,362.50 as merger
consideration and an additional $9,221,690.50 for the Special Interstate
Dividend.
Summerfield Acquisition
Patriot REIT indirectly acquired, as of June 5, 1998, 100% of the
partnership interests of SF Hotel Company, L.P., a Kansas limited partnership
("SFHC"), in exchange for aggregate
2
<PAGE>
consideration described below (such transactions, the "SFHC Acquisition").
SFHC is in the business of operating hotel properties under the Summerfield
Suites -TM- and Sierra Suites -TM- brand names. The SFHC Acquisition was
pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Contribution Agreement, dated as
of March 17, 1998 (the "Agreement"), by and among Patriot REIT, Wyndham,
Patriot American Hospitality Partnership, L.P., a subsidiary of Patriot REIT
("REIT OP"), Patriot American Hospitality Operating Partnership, L.P., a
subsidiary of Wyndham ("OpCo OP"), SFHC, and certain individuals and entities
who were partners of SFHC (collectively, the "SFHC Partners"). The
description of the Agreement in this Item 2 is qualified in its entirety by
the text of the Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 2.2 hereto
and incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein. The aggregate
consideration paid by REIT OP to the SFHC Partners at the closing of the SFHC
Acquisition is subject to adjustment as described below, and consisted of:
(i) approximately $162.4 million cash; (ii) 3,223,795 units of limited
partnership interests in REIT OP ("REIT OP Units"); (iii) a like number of
units of limited partnership interests in OpCo OP ("OpCo Op Units" and
together with REIT OP Units, the "Paired Units"); and (iv) 1,397,281 Paired
Shares. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, during a
period of approximately three years following the closing of the SFHC
Acquisition, the former SFHC Partners also may be entitled to receive
additional payments of cash and/or Paired Units if certain performance
criteria are met. In addition to the foregoing consideration paid, REIT OP
assumed approximately $17.1 million in debt of SFHC and incurred additional
transaction expenses in connection with the closing of the SFHC Acquisition.
See the pro forma financial information required by Item 7, which will be
filed by the Patriot Companies by amendment of this Current Report on
Form 8-K no later than August 16, 1998.
Prior to the SFHC Acquisition, partners of various partnerships
affiliated with SFHC (the "Affiliated Partnerships") contributed each of
their various partnership interests in a series of transactions to
consolidate the assets and liabilities of such Affiliated Partnerships into
SFHC (the "Reorganization Transactions"). In addition, prior to the SFHC
Acquisition, the Affiliated Partnerships contributed to SFHC, which in turn
contributed to Summerfield Associates, L.P. ("SALP," a newly formed entity
owned primarily by former SFHC Partners), and SALP assumed, certain assets
and liabilities of SFHC that were excluded from SFHC in the SFHC Acquisition
(such contribution by SFHC and assumption by SALP, the "Excluded Asset
Distribution").
Pursuant to the Agreement, immediately following the consummation of
the Reorganization Transactions and the Excluded Asset Distribution: (i) REIT
OP acquired all of the limited partnership interests in SFHC from the former
SFHC Partners; (ii) REIT OP acquired all of the capital stock of Summerfield
Hotel Corporation, the sole general partner of SFHC, from Rolf E. Ruhfus, its
sole stockholder; and (iii) PAH-Summerfield Leasing, Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of REIT OP, acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of
Summerfield Hotel Leasing Corporation, the general partner of Summerfield
Hotel Leasing Company, L.P. (a lessee of certain hotel properties), all of
the partnership interests of which are held directly or indirectly by REIT
OP. In connection with the foregoing transactions, Summerfield Hotel
Corporation sold its 1% general partner interest in SFHC to PAH-Summerfield
LLC, a single member limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary
of REIT OP.
Through the SFHC Acquisition, Patriot REIT has indirectly acquired
control of SFHC's hotel management business which is primarily comprised of
ownership and management interests in four (4) hotel properties, leasehold
and management interests in twenty-four (24) hotel properties, management and
franchise interests in thirteen (13) hotel properties, and development
interests in additional hotel properties.

to be delivered by SFHC to Buyer immediately prior to the Closing);
provided, however, that in no event shall the Closing Date Site Advance
Reimbursement Amount exceed the applicable amount set forth on Exhibit

SFHC, in accordance with GAAP, or in accordance with the provisions of
this Section 2(c).
(D) The "Site Advance Reimbursement Amount" for
each Other Site Advance Property shall be equal to the amount mutually
agreed to by the Parties to represent the aggregate dollar amount of
all "Site Advances" of SFHC and its Affiliates as of the close of

(the aggregate dollar amount of all "Site Advances" for Other Site
Advance Properties as of the day immediately preceding the date of this
Agreement as set forth on Exhibit 2(c)(i)(B) hereto) and (ii) any "Site

Section 8(b)(xiv) of this Agreement. The Site Advance Reimbursement
Amount for each Other Site Advance Property shall be determined in a
manner consistent with the past accounting practices of SFHC and shall
not include any amounts which represent costs that may not be

(ii) At the Closing, Buyer shall pay to the SFHC
Partners' Representative (as agent for the SFHC Partners), in

Reimbursement Amount (as set forth on the Site Advance Statement).
(iii) In the event that (A) any Patriot/Wyndham Entity
or any Affiliate of any Patriot/Wyndham Entity or any other Person for
which any Patriot/Wyndham Entity or any Affiliate of any
Patriot/Wyndham Entity provides (or has agreed to provide) any
development or management services shall have acquired any Other Site

portion thereof) on which any Other Site Advance Property is proposed
to be constructed) or (B) any Patriot/Wyndham Entity or any Affiliate
of any Patriot/Wyndham Entity notifies SFHC or any SFHC Partner that
any Patriot/Wyndham Entity or any Affiliate of any Patriot/Wyndham
Entity intends to acquire any Other Site Advance Property (or any
interest therein or any real property (or portion thereof) on which any

a developer or manager for any other Person who intends to acquire any
Other Site Advance Property (or any
9
<PAGE>
interest therein or any real property (or portion thereof) on which any
Other Site Advance Property is proposed to be constructed), then on the
later of the Closing Date or two business days after the occurrence of
any of the events referred to in clause "(A") or clause "(B)" of this
sentence, Buyer shall promptly pay to the SFHC Partners' Representative
(as agent for the SFHC Partners), in immediately available funds (and
in addition to the amounts payable pursuant to Sections 2(b) and 2(d))
and without any deduction or setoff of any nature, an amount equal to
the Site Advance Reimbursement Amount (as set forth on the Site Advance
Statement) for such Other Site Advance Property.
(iv) If within 30 calendar days after the Closing, Buyer
objects to SFHC's determination of the Closing Date Site Advance
Reimbursement Amount (as set forth on the Site Advance Statement), then
Buyer shall deliver to the SFHC Partners' Representative a written
notice (the "Dispute Notice") describing in reasonable detail Buyer's
objections to such determination by SFHC, and setting forth the dollar
amount determined by Buyer to represent the Closing Date Site Advance
Reimbursement Amount. If a Dispute Notice describing in reasonable
detail Buyer's objections to SFHC's determination of the Closing Date
Site Advance Reimbursement Amount (as set forth on the Site Advance
Statement) is not delivered by Buyer to the SFHC Partners'
Representative within 30 calendar days after the Closing, then SFHC's
determination of the Closing Date Site Advance Reimbursement Amount (as
set forth on the Site Advance Statement) shall be conclusive and
binding upon Buyer.
(v) If Buyer delivers a Dispute Notice to the SFHC
Partners' Representative within 30 calendar days after the Closing and
Buyer and the SFHC Partners' Representative are unable to resolve the
dispute reflected in such Dispute Notice within 15 calendar days of
delivery of such notice, the dispute shall promptly be submitted by
Buyer and the SFHC Partners' Representative to a "big six" accounting
firm (other than the independent accountant for Buyer or SFHC as of the
Closing Date) mutually acceptable to Buyer and the SFHC Partners'
Representative (the "Accounting Firm"). The decision of the Accounting
Firm shall (absent manifest error) be binding on Buyer and the SFHC
Partners' Representative (it being understood that in no event shall
the Closing Date Site Advance Reimbursement Amount be less than the
amount set forth in the Dispute Notice or more than the amount set
forth in the Site Advance Statement). If the Accounting Firm determines
that SFHC's determination of the Closing Date Site Advance
Reimbursement Amount (as set forth on the Site Advance Statement) was
not made in a manner consistent with the past accounting practices of
SFHC, was not made in accordance with GAAP, was not made in accordance
with the provisions of Section 2(c), or that SFHC's determination of
the Closing Date Site Advance Reimbursement Amount (as set forth on the
Site Advance Statement) exceeds the actual dollar amount of "Site
Advances" for Approved Properties as of the close of business on the
day immediately preceding the Closing Date, then the SFHC Partners'
Representative shall promptly cause to be paid to Buyer the amount by
which the Closing Date Site Advance Reimbursement Amount (as set
10
<PAGE>
forth on the Site Advance Statement) exceeds the actual dollar amount
of "Site Advances" for Approved Properties as of the close of business
on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date (as determined by the
Accounting Firm). All fees of and costs payable to the Accounting Firm
in connection with the determination referred to in this Section 2(c)
shall be borne by Buyer; provided, however, that if the Closing Date
Site Advance Reimbursement Amount as determined by SFHC exceeds by 0.5%
or more such amount as determined by the Accounting Firm, then such
fees and costs shall be borne by the SFHC Partners.

received by Summerfield Suites Development Company, L.P. under the

Partners), in immediately available funds (and in addition to the
amounts payable pursuant to Sections 2(b) and 2(c)), a dollar amount
equal to the amount by which the Cumulative Net Development Income
exceeds the Aggregate Development Amount. If the Aggregate Development
Amount exceeds the Cumulative Net Development Income, then the Cash
Consideration payable pursuant to Section 2(b) shall be reduced by a
dollar amount equal to the amount by which the Aggregate Development
Amount exceeds the Cumulative Net Development Income.
(e) Adjustment Consideration.
(i) If the Highest Average Stock Price (as defined

aggregate number of Units and Paired Shares delivered pursuant to
Section 2(b) multiplied by the lesser of (A) $1.50 or (B) the amount by

delivered to the SFHC Partners' Representative in accordance with such

election to the SFHC Partners' Representative on or before November 15,
1998, Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to pay all consideration
payable pursuant to Section 2(e)(i) in the form of cash. For purposes
of this Section 2(e), each Unit and Operating Unit, considered
together, shall be deemed to have a value equal to the Twenty-Day
Average Stock Price for the period of twenty consecutive trading days

(D) maintain the product design with respect to
the Development Properties in a manner which is intended to generate

(E) furnish to the SFHC Partners' Representative,

and 2000, copies of the financial statements for each Designated
Property for such accounting period;
(F) upon reasonable advance notice and during
normal business hours, make available from time to time to the SFHC
Partners' Representative and his advisors and representatives such
information and documentation (including books, records, contracts,

<PAGE>
(G) promptly furnish to the SFHC Partners'

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2(f)(iii)(B),

identified on Exhibit 2(f)(i) hereto if Buyer provides documentary evidence
reasonably satisfactory to the SFHC Partners' Representative demonstrating that
the total of the "Hard Costs" (as defined in Exhibit 2(f)(iii) hereto) that

equivalent to the hotel specifically contemplated by the working drawings (if
any) existing as of the Closing Date for such Development Property (or, if no
such working drawings exist as of the Closing Date, the prototype plans and
specifications in existence as of the Closing Date applicable to such
Development Property) exceed, by more than 8%, the "Projected Hard Cost" of the
development of such Development Property as set forth on Exhibit 2(f)(iii).
(iv) Objections; Dispute Resolution.
(A) If within 60 calendar days after delivery of
any statement referred to in Section 2(f)(ii)(B) or Section
2(f)(ii)(C), the SFHC Partners' Representative objects to the Buyer's
determination of the dollar amount of the consideration required to be
delivered with such statement, then the SFHC Partners' Representative
shall deliver to Buyer a written notice (an "Objection Notice") setting
forth the dollar amount determined by the SFHC Partners' Representative
to represent the amount of such consideration.
(B) If Buyer and the SFHC Partners' Representative
are unable to resolve the dispute reflected in an Objection Notice, the
dispute shall promptly be submitted by Buyer and the SFHC Partners'
Representative to a "big six" accounting firm (other than the
independent accountant for Buyer or SFHC (as of the Closing Date))
mutually acceptable to Buyer and the SFHC Partners' Representative (the
"Independent Accountant"). The decision of the Independent Accountant
shall (absent manifest error) be binding on Buyer and the SFHC
Partners' Representative (it being understood that in no event shall
the dollar amount of the consideration determined to be payable be less
than the amount set forth in the applicable statement delivered by
Buyer to the SFHC Partners' Representative pursuant to Section
2(f)(ii)(B) or Section 2(f)(ii)(C), as the case may be). If the
Independent Accountant determines that the aggregate dollar amount of
the consideration that was required to have been delivered to the SFHC
Partners' Representative exceeds the dollar amount of the consideration
actually delivered, then Buyer shall promptly cause to be delivered to
the SFHC Partners' Representative (1) the additional cash and/or Units
and Operating Units that should have originally been delivered to the
SFHC Partners' Representative, plus (2) a cash amount representing
interest at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum (for the period
from January 25, 2000 or 2001, as the case may be, through the date on
which the full amount of such additional consideration is delivered to
the SFHC
18
<PAGE>
Partners' Representative) on the aggregate dollar amount of such
additional consideration (including the dollar amount of any component
of such additional consideration that is paid in the form of Units and
Operating Units).
(C) All fees of and costs payable to the
Independent Accountant in connection with the determination referred to
in this Section 2(f) shall be borne by Buyer; provided, however, that
if the Independent Accountant determines that additional consideration
represents less than one-half percent (0.5%) of the consideration set
forth in Buyer's statement under Section 2(f)(ii)(B) or (C), as the
case may be, is to be delivered to the SFHC Partners' Representative,
then the SFHC Partners' Representative shall bear the fees of and costs
payable to the Independent Accountant.
(g) Post-Closing Fee Payments
(i) Definitions.
(A) "Fee Payment" shall mean any payment of any
base management fee, incentive management fee, accounting fee, software
fee, services fee, license fee, franchise fee or other similar fee

receives, at any time on or after the Closing Date, any Fee Payment
that relates to any Pre-Closing Accounting Period, then, within two
days after the receipt of such Fee Payment, Buyer shall cause to be
paid to the SFHC Partners' Representative (as agent for the SFHC
Partners) in immediately available funds, without any deduction or
setoff of any nature, an amount equal to the full amount of such Fee
Payment.
(iii) If SFHC, Buyer, any other Patriot/Wyndham Entity
or any Affiliate of or successor to SFHC or any Patriot/Wyndham Entity
receives, at any time on or after the Closing Date, any Fee Payment
that relates to any Straddling Accounting Period, then, within two days
after the receipt of such Fee Payment, Buyer shall cause to be paid to
the SFHC Partners' Representative (as agent for the SFHC Partners) in
19
<PAGE>
immediately available funds, without any deduction or setoff of any
nature, an amount equal to the amount of such Fee Payment multiplied by
a fraction having a numerator equal to the number of days in the period
commencing on the first day of such Straddling Accounting Period and
ending on the Closing Date and having a denominator equal to 28.
(iv) If any Fee Payment relating to any Pre-Closing
Accounting Period or any Straddling Accounting Period was improperly
paid and is refunded, an appropriate payment shall be made to Buyer.
(h) Post-Closing Payment with respect to Leased Hotels.
(i) Within 60 days after the Closing Date, the SFHC
Partners' Representative shall cause to be delivered to Buyer the
following balance sheets (the "Leased Hotel Balance Sheets"): (A) a
consolidated balance sheet of Summerfield Suites Lease Company, L.P.

Transactions), prepared in accordance with GAAP; and (B) a balance
sheet of Summerfield HPT Lease Company, L.P. as of the Closing Date
(immediately prior to the consummation of the Reorganization
Transactions), prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Leased Hotel
Balance Sheets shall be accompanied by a statement (the "Leased Hotel
Statement') setting forth the SFHC Partners' Representative's
calculation of the amount by which (A) the aggregate dollar amount of
the current assets reflected on the Leased Hotel Balance Sheets
(excluding the aggregate dollar amount of the F, F & E Reserve
reflected on such Leased Hotel Balance Sheets) exceeds (B) the
aggregate dollar amount of the current liabilities reflected on the
Leased Hotel Balance Sheets. (The amount by which (A) the aggregate
dollar amount of the current assets reflected on the Leased Hotel
Balance Sheets exceeds (B) the aggregate dollar amount of the current
liabilities reflected on the Leased Hotel Balance Sheets is referred to
herein as the "Net Leased Hotel Amount.")
(ii) Within five days after the delivery to Buyer of the
Leased Hotel Statement, Buyer shall cause to be paid to the SFHC

immediately available funds, without any deduction or setoff of any
nature, an amount equal to the Net Leased Hotel Amount.
(iii) If within 30 calendar days after the delivery to
Buyer of the Leased Hotel Statement, Buyer objects to the SFHC
Partners' Representative's calculation of the Net Leased Hotel Amount
(as set forth on the Leased Hotel Statement), then Buyer shall deliver
to the SFHC Partners' Representative a written notice (a "Disagreement
Notice") describing in reasonable detail Buyer's objections to the SFHC
Partners' Representative's calculation of the Net Leased Hotel Amount,
and setting forth the dollar amount determined by Buyer to represent
the Net Leased Hotel Amount. If a Disagreement Notice describing in
reasonable detail Buyer's objections to
20
<PAGE>
the SFHC Partners' Representative's calculation of the Net Leased Hotel
Amount (as set forth on the Leased Hotel Statement) is not delivered by
Buyer to the SFHC Partners' Representative within 30 calendar days
after the delivery to Buyer of the Leased Hotel Statement, then the
SFHC Partners' Representative's calculation of the Net Leased Hotel
Amount (as set forth on the Leased Hotel Statement) shall be conclusive
and binding upon Buyer.
(iv) If Buyer delivers a Disagreement Notice to the SFHC
Partners' Representative within 30 calendar days after the delivery to
Buyer of the Leased Hotel Statement and Buyer and the SFHC Partners'
Representative are unable to resolve the dispute reflected in such
Disagreement Notice, the dispute shall promptly be submitted by Buyer
and the SFHC Partners' Representative to a "big six" accounting firm
(other than the independent accountant for Buyer or SFHC (as of the
Closing Date)) mutually acceptable to Buyer and the SFHC Partners'
Representative (the "Third Party Accounting Firm"). The Third Party
Accounting Firm's calculation of the Net Leased Hotel Amount shall
(absent manifest error) be binding on Buyer and the SFHC Partners'
Representative (it being understood that in no event shall the Net
Leased Hotel Amount (as determined by the Third Party Accounting Firm)
be less than the amount set forth in the Disagreement Notice). All fees
of and costs payable to the Third Party Accounting Firm in connection
with the determination referred to in this Section 2(h) shall be borne
by Buyer; provided, however, that if the SFHC Partners'
Representative's determination of the Net Leased Hotel Amount (as set
forth on the Leased Hotel Statement) exceeds by 0.5% or more the Third
Party Accounting Firm's determination of the Net Leased Hotel Amount,
then the SFHC Partners shall bear the fees of and costs payable to the
Third Party Accounting Firm.

Section 6. Representations and Warranties of SFHC. As a material
inducement to Buyer to enter into and perform its obligations under this
Agreement, except as disclosed in the SFHC Disclosure Schedule, SFHC represents
and warrants to Buyer as follows:
(a) Organization of SFHC and its Affiliates. SFHC is a limited
partnership duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws
of Kansas and is qualified to do business in every jurisdiction in which the
nature of its business or its ownership of property requires it to be qualified,
except where the failure to do so would not have a Material Adverse Effect on
SFHC. Section 6(a) of the SFHC Disclosure Schedule lists all of the
jurisdictions in which SFHC is qualified to do business as of the date hereof.
SFHC has full power and authority as a limited partnership to own or lease its
properties and to conduct its business in the manner and in the places where
such properties are owned or leased or such business is currently conducted. The
copies of SFHC's Certificate of Limited Partnership as amended to date,
certified by the Kansas Secretary of State, and of SFHC's Partnership Agreement,
as amended to date, certified by SFHC's general partner, and heretofore
delivered to Buyer's counsel, are complete and correct, and no amendments
thereto are pending, except as herein contemplated by the Reorganization
Transactions. SFHC is not in violation of any term of its Certificate of Limited
Partnership or Partnership Agreement.
(b) Authorization of Transaction.
(i) SFHC and each SFHC Partner has full power and
authority (or, if such SFHC Partner is a natural person, is an adult
acting with full capacity) to execute and deliver the Transaction
Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations
thereunder. SFHC and each SFHC Partner has duly authorized the
execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents to which it is a
party and the consummation by SFHC (or such SFHC Partner) of the
Contemplated Transactions. No other proceedings on the part of SFHC or
any SFHC Partner are necessary to approve and authorize the execution
and delivery of the Transaction Documents by SFHC (and each SFHC
Partner, as applicable), or the consummation by SFHC (and each SFHC
Partner, as applicable) of the Contemplated Transactions. Each
Transaction Document to which SFHC (or any SFHC Partner) is a party
will, upon execution by SFHC (or such SFHC Partner, as applicable),

Permitted Lien) upon any of the assets of SFHC unless such Lien does
not have a Material Adverse Effect on SFHC.
(ii) SFHC is not required to give any notice to, make

SFHC Partners, and such fees shall be satisfied by the SFHC Partners in

qualified to do business in each jurisdiction where such
30

have a Material Adverse Effect on SFHC. As of the Closing Date, there will be no

options or other rights to acquire any such convertible securities.

it and is not in default under or in breach of nor in receipt of any written
claim (other than a claim which is no longer pending) of default or breach under
any agreement, lease, contract, commitment or other agreement to which it is a
party that has not been cured under the terms of any such agreement, except
where such nonperformance, default or breach would not have a Material Adverse
Effect on SFHC; and no event has occurred which with the passage of time or the
giving of notice or both would result in a default, breach or event of
noncompliance under any such agreement (or would allow any other party to such
agreement to take any action) which would have a Material Adverse Effect on
SFHC. SFHC has no knowledge of any pending material breach or reasonably
foreseeable material breach by any other party of any material agreement to
which SFHC is a party relating to the Business. Upon consummation of the
Contemplated Transactions, subject to the receipt of any necessary approvals and
consents set forth in Section 6(o) of the SFHC Disclosure Schedule, each
Material Contract described in the SFHC Disclosure Schedule shall be in full
force and effect without penalty or other modification except as would not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on SFHC or a Material

payable in the ordinary course) and SFHC is not in default with respect to its
obligations under any of such Insurance Policies and has not received any
written notification of cancellation of any of such Insurance Policies and has
no claim outstanding as of the date hereof which would reasonably be expected to

SFHC has with any banking institution as of the date hereof are described in
Section 6(p) of the SFHC Disclosure Schedule, indicating with respect to each of
such arrangements the type of arrangement maintained (such as checking account,

proceedings (including grievance proceedings), hearings, orders or (to the

Business (or, to the knowledge of SFHC, pending or threatened against or
affecting any of the officers, managers or employees of SFHC with respect to the
Business), at law or in equity, before or by any Government Entity which would
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on SFHC or which would
have a Material Adverse Effect on SFHC's ability to consummate the Contemplated

Affiliates on the date hereof, including, without limitation, all Licenses
required under any federal, state or local law relating to public health and
safety, employee health and safety, pollution or protection of the environment,
other than those Licenses where the failure to obtain such Licenses would not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on SFHC. As of the date
hereof, SFHC and its Affiliates are, and as of the Closing Date, SFHC will be,
in material compliance with the terms and conditions of such Licenses and
neither SFHC nor any Affiliate has received any written notices that it is in
violation of any of the terms or conditions of such Licenses, except for any
noncompliance or notice that has been remedied, satisfied or is no longer
pending or that would not have a Material Adverse Effect on SFHC. SFHC and its
Affiliates have taken and will take all necessary action to maintain such
Licenses, and no loss or expiration of any such License is (to the knowledge of
SFHC) being overtly threatened, pending or reasonably foreseeable other than
expiration in accordance with the terms thereof or such loss or expiration that
would not have a Material Adverse Effect on SFHC.

regulations relating to labor and employment including, without
limitation, provisions thereof relating to wages, hours, equal
opportunity, collective bargaining, immigration and the payment of

except for any such charge or complaint that would not have a Material
Adverse Effect on SFHC; and, to the knowledge SFHC, no reasonable basis

of Code Section 414(b) and (c)) has ever maintained, or

and other authorizations would not have a Material Adverse Effect on
SFHC;
(ii) neither SFHC nor any Affiliate has handled or
disposed of any substance, arranged for the disposal of any substance,
exposed any employee or other individual to any substance or condition,
or owned or operated the Business or any property or facility (and, to
the knowledge of SFHC, no such property or facility is contaminated

any liability or corrective or remedial obligation under any
Environmental, Health and Safety Laws, other than any liabilities or
corrective or remedial obligations that would not have a Material
Adverse Effect on SFHC;
(iii) SFHC and its Affiliates have complied with all
Environmental, Health and Safety Laws (except where the failure to be

such Affiliate, as the case may be.
(w) Designated Properties Formula. If the owner of a
particular Designated Property is a party to a management agreement, franchise

31, 2000) all of such agreements were to remain exactly the same as they
currently are (and all fees payable thereunder were to be calculated in exactly
the same manner as they are currently calculated), then the 1998 Pro Forma Fee
Amount, the 1999 Pro Forma Fee Amount, and the 2000 Pro Forma Fee Amount with
respect to such Designated Property would not exceed the aggregate dollar amount
of all management, lease, franchise, corporate and brand related fees for the
"Applicable Period" referred to in Section 2(f) that would be generated with
respect to such Designated Property under such management, franchise, and lease
agreements.
(x) Disclosure. As of the date hereof, the representations and

inducement to SFHC and the SFHC Partners to perform its obligations under this
Agreement, Buyer hereby represents and warrants to SFHC and the SFHC Partners as
follows:
(a) Organization of Buyer and Certain Affiliates. Each of
Buyer and Operating Partnership is a limited partnership duly organized, validly
existing, and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and is
qualified to do business in all jurisdictions in which such qualification is

Effect on Buyer or a material adverse effect on the business, results of
operations or financial condition of Operating Partnership, respectively. Each

incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state
of its incorporation. Each of Patriot REIT and Wyndham International, Inc. is
duly licensed or qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in
good standing under the laws of any other state of the United States in which
the character of the properties owned or leased by it therein or in which the
transaction of its business makes such qualification necessary, except where the
failure to be so licensed or
43
<PAGE>
qualified could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on
the business, results of operations or financial condition of Patriot REIT and
its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or Wyndham International, Inc. and its
subsidiaries, taken as a whole, respectively.
(b) Authorization of Transaction. Each of the Patriot/Wyndham
Entities has full power and authority to enter into the Transaction Documents to
which it is a party and to perform all of its obligations thereunder. The
execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents to which each
Patriot/Wyndham Entity is a party and the performance by such Patriot/Wyndham
Entity of its obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by such action as
may be required, and no further action or approval is required in order to
consummate transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents to which such
Patriot/Wyndham Entity is a party or to constitute each of such Transaction
Documents as a binding and enforceable obligation of such Patriot/Wyndham
Entity.
(c) Noncontravention. Neither the execution and the delivery
of the Transaction Documents, nor the consummation of the Contemplated
Transactions or the performance of any obligation under any of the Transaction
Documents shall, except as explicitly required or permitted herein (i) violate
any constitution, statute, regulation, rule, injunction, judgment, order,
decree, ruling, charge, or other restriction of any Government Entity to which
any Patriot/Wyndham Entity is subject or any provision of its partnership
agreement, certificate of incorporation or by-laws or (ii) conflict with, result
in a breach of, constitute a default under, result in the acceleration of,
create in any party the right to accelerate, terminate, modify, or cancel, or
require any notice under any agreement, contract, lease, license, instrument, or
other arrangement to which any Patriot/Wyndham Entity is a party or by which any
Patriot/Wyndham Entity is bound unless such effect does not have a Material
Adverse Effect on Buyer or a material adverse effect on the financial condition
or results of operations of such other Patriot/Wyndham Entity, as the case may
be. Except as set forth in Section 7(c) of the Buyer Disclosure Schedule to be
attached hereto, none of the Patriot/Wyndham Entities is required to give any
notice to, make any filing with, or obtain any authorization, consent, or
approval of any Government Entity or third party in order to enter into the
Transaction Documents or to consummate the Contemplated Transactions or perform
any obligation under any of the Transaction Documents, except where the failure
to make or obtain such notice, filing, authorization, consent or approval would
not have a Material Adverse Effect on Buyer or a material adverse effect on the
financial condition or results of operations of such other Patriot/Wyndham
Entity, as the case may be.
(d) Status of the Partnership Agreement The partnership
agreement of each of Buyer and the Operating Partnership is in full force and
effect, a true, complete and correct copy thereof has been delivered to SFHC and
there are no dissolution, termination or liquidation proceedings pending or
contemplated with respect to Buyer or the Operating Partnership, respectively.
Each of Buyer and the Operating Partnership is, and has been since the date of
its formation, taxable as a "partnership" as defined in Section 7701(a) of the
Code and is, and has been since the date of its formation, not taxable as a
corporation by reason of not being a publicly traded partnership within the
meaning of Section 7704 of the Code.

(e) No Litigation; Proceedings. There are no pending or, to
Buyer's knowledge, overtly threatened investigations, actions, suits,
proceedings or claims against or affecting any Patriot/Wyndham Entity at law or
in equity or before or by any Government Entity which, if determined adversely,
would have a Material Adverse Effect on Buyer or a material adverse effect on
the financial condition or results of operations of such other Patriot/Wyndham
Entity, as the case may be, or adversely affect the ability of any
Patriot/Wyndham Entity to consummate the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents to which it is a party.

issued, fully paid and non-assessable. At the Closing, upon receipt of the
Contributed Interests, Buyer will have issued the Units free and clear of all
Liens (other than any Liens in favor of the partners of Buyer pursuant to the
Partnership Agreement), and as of the Closing, each of the SFHC Partners will be
admitted as a limited partner of Buyer. The issuance of the Units to the SFHC

Partners' Representative shall have the option, at its sole cost and expense, to
take possession of the records set for destruction, in which case the SFHC
Partners' Representative shall assume all further cost of storage and
destruction of such records. The SFHC Partners' Representative shall be afforded
access to and the right to copy such records in the names of the Buyer during
normal business hours, at his expense.
(b) Transaction Expenses. Each Party shall pay all of its
expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation and the consummation of the

or otherwise incurred by them in connection with the Contemplated Transaction,
(2) all charges incurred by them for or in connection with the recording of any

Subsidiary; (ii) no expenses of SFHC, any Subsidiary or any SFHC Partner
relating solely to the Contemplated Transactions, including without limitation
legal, accounting, financial advisory or other professional expenses of SFHC,
any Subsidiary or any SFHC Partner relating solely to the Contemplated

(iii) notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any payment is required

equally by the Buyer on the one hand and the SFHC Partners on the other. In

Representative and each SFHC Partner shall execute and deliver such further
instruments of conveyance and transfer and take such additional action as Buyer
may reasonably request to effect, consummate, confirm or evidence the transfer
to Buyer of the Contributed Interests, and SFHC, the SFHC Partners'
Representative and each SFHC Partner shall execute such documents as may be
reasonably necessary to assist Buyer in preserving or perfecting its rights in
the Contributed Interests. Buyer shall execute and deliver such further
instruments and take such additional action as SFHC or the SFHC Partners'
Representative may reasonably request to effect, consummate, confirm or evidence
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(e) Litigation Support. Except in the case of a dispute among
the parties hereto, in the event and for so long as any Party actively is
contesting or defending against any charge, complaint, action, suit,
proceedings, hearing, investigation, claim, or demand in connection with (i) any
transaction contemplated by this Agreement or (ii) any fact, situation,
circumstance, status, condition, activity, practice, plan, occurrence, event,

(p) Agreement to Hold Certain Assets .
(i) Buyer agrees that it will not, and will cause its
Affiliates not to, (A) sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of
any real property, leaseholds or tangible or intangible personal
property held by SFHC as of the Closing or to which Buyer or any of its
Affiliates becomes successor holder to SFHC as a result of the
Contemplated Transactions (the "Successor Properties and Successor
Leaseholds") or any interest in any such Successor Property or
Successor Leasehold or (B) enter into any other transaction that could
result in potential Tax liabilities to any SFHC Partner under the Code,
for a period from and including the Closing Date to and including the
fifth anniversary thereof; provided, however, that Buyer or any
Affiliate may make any such disposition during such period if such
disposition is structured as a tax-deferred like-kind exchange under
Section 1031 of the Code (which exchange will not include any cash
consideration to Buyer or its Affiliates in excess of customary costs
and expenses incurred by Buyer or its Affiliates in connection with
negotiating and closing the acquisition of replacement property
effecting such exchange) or that otherwise does not result in the
recognition of gain by or any potential Tax liability to any SFHC
Partner or any Successor Partner under the Code. For purposes of this
Agreement, (1) "Successor Partner" means a member of the family of or
lineal descendant to a SFHC Partner or any Affiliate of such SFHC
Partner, family member or lineal descendant to whom such SFHC Partner
sells, assigns, transfers or otherwise disposes of any Unit or
56
<PAGE>
any Operating Unit (or any interest therein), and (2) "Prohibited
Transaction" means any sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition,
or the entering into of any other transaction, prohibited by the
preceding sentence of this Section 10(p)(i).
(ii) If Buyer breaches its obligations under clause
(i) of this Section 10(p), the Parties agree that the appropriate
measure of damages suffered by a particular SFHC Partner and any
Successor Partner shall equal (i) such SFHC Partner's (or Successor
Partner's) aggregate combined federal and state income tax liability
arising in connection with a Prohibited Transaction that is allocated
to such SFHC Partners under Section 704(c) of the Code or other
applicable U.S. Tax law minus (ii) the present value of such liability,
determined as if it were incurred on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the
Closing (The aggregate amount by which (A) a particular SFHC Partner's
or Successor Partner's combined federal and state income tax liability
arising in connection with any Prohibited Transaction, exceeds (B) the
present value of such liability, determined in accordance with this
Section 10(p)(ii), is referred to in this Section 10(p) as the "Tax
Reimbursement Amount"). The present value shall be determined using a
discount rate equal to the prime rate as reported in The Wall Street
Journal on the date of the consummation of the Prohibited Transaction
(the "Consummation Date").
(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Section 10(p) or elsewhere in this Agreement: (A)
within three days after execution of a definitive agreement relating to
a Prohibited Transaction, Buyer shall cause a copy of said definitive
agreement to be delivered to the SFHC Partners' Representative, and (B)
on the Consummation Date relating to such Prohibited Transaction, Buyer
shall pay to each SFHC Partner and to each Successor Partner, in
immediately available funds and without any deduction or setoff of any
nature, an amount equal to such SFHC Partner's or Successor Partner's
good faith reasonable estimate of the Tax Reimbursement Amount
applicable to such SFHC Partner or Successor Partner with respect to
such Prohibited Transaction (as communicated by such SFHC Partner or
Successor Partner to Buyer).
(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Section 10(p) or elsewhere in this Agreement: (A) if
at any time following the consummation of a Prohibited Transaction, any
SFHC Partner or any Successor Partner notifies Buyer that the actual
Tax Reimbursement Amount applicable to such SFHC Partner or Successor
Partner with respect to such Prohibited Transaction exceeds the
estimated amount actually paid by Buyer to such SFHC Partner or
Successor Partner pursuant to this Section 10(p) on the Consummation
Date relating to such Prohibited Transaction, then Buyer shall promptly
pay to such SFHC Partner or Successor Partner, in immediately available
funds and without any deduction or setoff of any nature, an amount
equal to the amount by which (1) such actual Tax Reimbursement Amount,
exceeds (2) such estimated amount, and (B) if at any time following the
entering into of any Prohibited Transaction, Buyer determines that the
estimated amount actually paid
57
<PAGE>
by Buyer to a particular SFHC Partner or Successor Partner pursuant to
this Section 10(p) on the Consummation Date relating to such Prohibited
Transaction exceeds the actual Tax Reimbursement Amount applicable to
such SFHC Partner or Successor Partner with respect to such Prohibited
Transaction, then such SFHC Partner or Successor Partner shall pay to
Buyer an amount equal to the amount by which (1) such estimated amount,
exceeds (2) such actual Tax Reimbursement Amount.
(v) Buyer shall ensure that any payment made pursuant
to this Section 10(p) is treated as a distribution from Buyer to the
applicable SFHC Partner to whom such payment is made.
(q) Hanover Expansion Payment. In the event that, on or prior
to the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer
shall have substantially completed construction pursuant to which additional
hotel rooms will be added to the number of hotel rooms certified for occupancy
as of the Closing Date with respect to the Hanover Property (currently 136
rooms), then Buyer shall give notice of such construction (a "Hanover Expansion
Notice") not less than 30 calendar days prior to the date on which the temporary
certificate of occupancy with respect to such additional rooms will be issued,
as reasonably determined by Buyer (the date of actual certificate issuance, the
"Occupancy Date") and shall pay to the SFHC Partners' Representative (as agent
for the SFHC Partners), without any deduction or setoff of any nature, on a date
not later than two business days after the Occupancy Date, in immediately
available funds, an amount equal to the $15,000 per additional hotel room or
suite, as appropriate.
(r) Notification of Proposed Sale. During the two-year period
commencing on the Closing Date, Buyer shall promptly deliver to the SFHC
Partners' Representative a written notice of any proposal made, and any
discussions held or to be held, with respect to a possible sale or other
disposition of all or a substantial portion of or a substantial direct or
indirect interest in the "Summerfield Suites" business (or any successor
business) or the "Sierra Suites" business (or any successor business).
(s) Geographical Restriction on Competition. During the period
commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the tenth anniversary of the
Closing Date: (i) none of the Patriot/Wyndham Entities shall cause or permit any
hotel bearing the "Summerfield Suites" name (or any successor name) to be
developed or operated in any of the areas described on Exhibit 10(s)-1 (without
the prior written consent of the SFHC Partners' Representative); and (ii) none
of the Patriot/Wyndham Entities shall cause or permit any hotel bearing the
"Sierra Suites" name (or any successor name) to be developed or operated in any
of the areas described on Exhibit 10(s)-2 (without the prior written consent of
the SFHC Partners' Representative).
(t) Tax Basis Letters. Each SFHC Partner agrees to provide
reasonable assistance to SFHC such that statements identifying such SFHC
Partner's tax basis (for U.S.
58
<PAGE>
federal income tax purposes) in its Contributed Interest as of the Closing Date
can be prepared and delivered to Buyer within 60 days following the Closing
Date.
Section 11. Termination; Effect of Termination.
(a) Termination. This Agreement may be terminated prior to
the Closing as provided below:
(i) by mutual written consent of Buyer and SFHC;
(ii) by Buyer if there has been a material
misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder on the
part of SFHC such that the condition contained in Section 4(a) or 4(b)
would not be satisfied as of the Scheduled Closing Time, or by SFHC if
there has been a material misrepresentation or breach of warranty or
covenant hereunder on the part of Buyer such that the condition
contained in Section 5(a) or 5(b) would not be satisfied as of the
Scheduled Closing Time, in both cases only if such breach or
misrepresentation is not cured within 15 days of notice of such breach
or misrepresentation given by the non-misrepresenting and non-breaching
Party to the other Party (except no such notice or 15-day period shall
be required if such breach or misrepresentation is incurable in the
reasonable opinion of the non-misrepresenting and non-breaching party);
(iii) by SFHC at or at any time after the Scheduled
Closing Time if the Twenty-Day Average Stock Price for the period of
twenty consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately
preceding the date on which the Scheduled Closing Time occurs is below
$24.00;
(iv) by either Buyer or SFHC at or at any time after
the Scheduled Closing Time if, at the Scheduled Closing Time, any
material condition to such Party's obligations to consummate the
Contemplated Transactions (as set forth in Section 4 or 5, as
applicable) has not been satisfied or waived;
(v) by Buyer at the Scheduled Closing Time if Buyer
demonstrates to SFHC that the consummation of the transactions referred
to in Sections 2(a)(ii), 2(b), 2(c) and 2(d) at the Scheduled Closing
Time will cause Buyer to fail to qualify as a real estate investment
trust under the Code;
(vi) by either Buyer or SFHC if a court of competent
jurisdiction or other Government Entity shall have issued a final and
nonappealable order, decree or ruling, or shall have taken any other
final action, after the date of this Agreement, having the effect of
permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the
consummation of the Contemplated Transactions;
59
<PAGE>
(vii) by Buyer if the timely satisfaction of any
condition set forth in Section 4 has become impossible (other than as a
result of any failure on the part of Buyer to comply with or perform
any material covenant or obligation of Buyer set forth in this
Agreement);
(viii) by SFHC if the timely satisfaction of any
condition set forth in Section 5 has become impossible (other than as a
result of any failure on the part of SFHC to comply with or perform any
material covenant or obligation of SFHC set forth in this Agreement);
or
(ix) by SFHC if the Closing shall not have occurred
on or prior to the Scheduled Closing Time;
provided, however, that neither Buyer nor SFHC shall be entitled to terminate
this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11(a) if such Party's willful breach of
this Agreement has prevented the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions.
(b) Effect of Termination. Except as otherwise set forth in
this Section 11(b), in the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant
to Section 11(a) above, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall
thereafter become void and have no effect, and no Party shall have any liability
to any other Party hereto or its partners, managers, directors or officers in
respect thereof (and each Party is hereby unconditionally released from any such
liability); provided, however, that (i) the termination of this Agreement shall
not relieve any Party from any liability for any willful breaches of this
Agreement prior to the time of such termination; and (ii) Sections 10(b), 10(f),
11 and 12 of this Agreement and the obligations of the Parties under the
Confidentiality Agreement shall survive such a termination. If this Agreement is
validly terminated by SFHC pursuant to Section 11(a)(iii) or there is a
"Designated Termination by Buyer," or if (1) at 10:00 a.m. on April 9, 1998, any
condition set forth in Section 4(a), 4(b), 4(e) or 4(h) shall not have been
satisfied and shall not have been waived, or at the Scheduled Closing Time, the
condition set forth in Section 4(c) has not been satisfied and has not been
waived, and (2) this Agreement is validly terminated by Buyer pursuant to
Section 11(a)(ii) or Section 11(a)(iv), then, on or before the date two business
days after such valid termination of this Agreement, the Management Deposit
shall (to the extent previously received by SFHC in cash) be returned to Buyer.
For purposes of this Section 11(b), there shall be deemed to be a "Designated
Termination by Buyer" if (1) this Agreement is validly terminated by Buyer
pursuant to Section 11(a)(v) (on the grounds that the consummation of the
transactions referred to in Sections 2(a)(ii), 2(b), 2(c) and 2(d) at the
Scheduled Closing Time will cause Buyer to fail to qualify as a real estate
investment trust under the Code), (2) during the period from the date hereof
through the valid termination of this Agreement by Buyer pursuant to Section
11(a)(v), each of the Patriot/Wyndham Entities shall have provided reasonable
assistance to SFHC and its Affiliates for the purpose of assisting SFHC and its
Affiliates in obtaining the consent referred to in Section 8(a)(xv) of the SFHC
Disclosure Schedule and (3) the sole reason that the consummation of the
transactions referred to in Sections 2(a)(ii), 2(b), 2(c) and 2(d) at the
Scheduled Closing Time will cause
60
<PAGE>
Buyer to fail to qualify as a real estate investment trust under the Code is the
failure of SFHC to obtain the consent referred to in Section 8(a)(xv) of the
SFHC Disclosure Schedule.
(c) Good Faith Discussions. If the definitive agreement
relating to the Interstate Acquisition is irrevocably terminated and this
Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 11(a)(v), then, to the
extent reasonably requested by Buyer, a representative or representatives of
SFHC shall, during the 30-day period commencing on the date this Agreement is
terminated pursuant to Section 11(a)(v), conduct discussions in good faith with
representatives of Buyer for the purpose of considering the possibility of
restructuring the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in a manner that
would provide after-Tax benefits to the SFHC Partners that are at least as
substantial and favorable to each of the SFHC Partners as the after-Tax benefits
expected to be derived by them from the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement. Buyer acknowledges that: (i) neither SFHC nor any of the SFHC
Partners shall be under any obligation (during or after such 30-day period) to
pursue or enter into any restructured transaction with Buyer; (ii) SFHC and each
of the SFHC Partners shall be free to engage in negotiations with any other
Person or Persons during such 30-day period regarding the possible sale of all
or any portion of or interest in the business of SFHC and its Affiliates; and
(iii) SFHC and each of the SFHC Partners shall be free to enter into or
consummate any transaction with any other Person involving the sale of all or
any portion of or interest in the business of SFHC and its Affiliates after such
30-day period.

provided that (i) Buyer may (A) assign any or all of its rights and interests
