                              Jeffery M. Jarvis
                              Vice President and Controller

                             EXHIBIT 10.23
                         EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

     THIS AGREEMENT, made as of the 1st day of July, 1995, between
Promus Hotel Corporation, a Delaware corporation with its executive
offices at 850 Ridge Lake Boulevard, Memphis, Tennessee (the
"Company"), and Raymond E. Schultz (the "Executive").

     The Company and the Executive agree as follows:

1.   Introductory Statement.

     The Company desires to secure the services of the Executive as
Chief Executive Officer, and the Executive is willing to execute
this Agreement with respect to his employment.  This Agreement is
effective on July 1, 1995, and shall expire on December 31, 1999
("the Termination Date"), subject to the terms and conditions
herein.

2.   Agreement of Employment.

     The Company agrees to, and hereby does, employ the Executive,
and the Executive agrees to, and hereby does accept, employment by
the Company, in a full-time capacity as Chief Executive Officer,
pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and of the bylaws of
the Company and subject to the control of the Board of Directors. 
It is understood that the Executive's position as Chief Executive
Officer is subject to his yearly re-election as Chief Executive
Officer by the Board.  See paragraph 6 herein for Executive's
rights if such re-election does not occur during the term of this
Agreement.  

 3.  Executive's Obligations.

     During the period of his service under this Agreement, the
Executive shall devote substantially all of his time and energies
during business hours to the supervision and conduct, faithfully
and to the best of his ability, of the business and affairs of the
Company and to the furtherance of its interests, and to such other
duties as directed by the Board.
  
4.   Compensation.

     The Company shall pay to Executive a salary at the rate of
$310,000 per year, in equal bi-weekly installments, provided,
however, that the Human Resources Committee of the Board (the
"HRC") shall in good faith review the salary of the Executive, on
an annual basis, with a view to consideration of appropriate merit
increases in such salary.  In addition, except as otherwise
provided in this Agreement, during the term of this Agreement the
Executive shall be entitled to participate in incentive
compensation programs and to receive employee benefits and
perquisites at least as favorable to the Executive as those
presently provided to Executive by the Company, and as may be
enhanced for all senior officers.  Such benefits include, but are
not limited to, the rabbi trust (provided pursuant to the escrow
agreement dated June 30, 1995 as amended (the "Escrow Agreement"))
and his Severance Agreement dated June 30, 1995, a copy of which is
attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Severance Agreement") both of
which will continue in force subject to their terms and conditions
including the termination and amendment provisions thereof.  There
will be no diminution of the above compensation, perquisites, or
benefits except as provided in this Agreement.

     The Executive will use the Company's aircraft for security
purposes for himself and his family (with standard charges for
non-employee family members and for non-Company business usage). 
The Company will also provide Executive with appropriate security
arrangements at his residence.

     If the Executive dies or resigns pursuant to this Agreement or
pursuant to any other agreement between the Company and the
Executive providing for such resignation during the period of this
Agreement, service for any part of the month in which any such
event occurs shall be considered service for the entire month.

5.   Termination From Employment on December 31, 1999

     5.1  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the date
of Executive's termination from employment shall be December 31,
1999 ("the Termination Date").

     5.2  After the date of Executive's termination from employment
at any time (including termination or resignation prior to the
Termination Date, if that should occur), he will be entitled to
participate at the Company's expense for his lifetime in the
Company's group health insurance plans applicable to corporate
executives including family coverage as applicable (medical, dental
and vision coverage).  It is understood that the Executive will be
subject to income tax on the cost of the benefits provided to him
after his termination.  His group health insurance benefits after
any termination of employment will not be less than those offered
to corporate officers of the Company, and he will be entitled to
any later enhancements in such benefits.  His benefits will be the
same as normally provided to other retired management directors
pursuant to the policy adopted by the HRC on May 26, 1995,
including term life insurance of $50,000 (except to the extent he
voluntarily elects not to participate in any plan).

     5.3  After the date of Executive's termination from
employment, his EDCP account and any other deferred compensation
balances will continue to be protected by the Escrow Agreement if
it is then in force subject to the terms and conditions of the
Escrow Agreement including its termination and amendment
provisions.

6.   Termination Without Cause or Resignation for Good Reason

     6.1  The Board reserves the right to terminate Executive from
his then current position without cause at any time upon at least
three months prior written notice.  The failure of the Board to
elect Executive as Chief Executive Officer during the annual
election of officers shall also be deemed termination without cause
for purposes of this Agreement unless, before the election, the
Board has sent the written notice initiating termination for Cause
as provided in paragraph 11.1, and Executive is thereafter
terminated for Cause.  Executive reserves the right to resign his
position for Good Reason (as defined in paragraph 11.2 herein) by
giving the Company 30 days written notice which states the reason
for his resignation.  For purposes of this Agreement, Good Reason
does not include changes that are expressly permitted by this
Agreement.

     6.2  Upon Executive's termination without cause or resignation
from his position with Good Reason as described in paragraph 6.1
above:

     (a)  Executive will continue in employee status as a
consultant-employee for two years beginning on the date of such
termination without cause or resignation with Good Reason (the
"Transition Period").  His stock options and any restricted stock
will continue in force for vesting purposes during the Transition
Period.  Any unvested stock options and unvested shares of
restricted stock that do not vest during the Transition Period will
be forfeited.

     (b)  Executive will become vested at the retirement rate under
the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan ("EDCP") on the date of
such termination without cause or resignation with Good Reason.

     (c)  Executive will continue to receive his then-current
salary rate and the right to participate in the Company's benefit
plans during the Transition Period but he will no longer be
eligible for bonus, stock option or restricted stock grants or any
other long term incentive awards then in effect.

     (d)  After the expiration of the Transition Period, Executive
will be entitled to the lifetime group insurance benefits described
in paragraph 5.2.

7.   Termination For Cause or Resignation Without Good Reason

     7.1  The Board will have the right to terminate Executive at
any time from his then-current position for Cause (as defined in
paragraph 11.1 herein).

     7.2  If Executive is terminated for Cause or if he resigns his
position without Good Reason (including if he retires without Good
Reason, except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 7.3 below), then
(a) all of his rights and benefits under this Agreement shall
thereupon terminate and his employment shall be deemed terminated
on the date of such termination or resignation, (b) he shall be
entitled to all accrued rights, payments and benefits vested or
paid on or before such date under the Company's plans and programs,
but unvested stock options and unvested shares of restricted stock,
if any, will be forfeited, (c) his right to exercise vested stock
options will expire at 12:00 p.m. midnight on the date of such
termination or resignation and all stock options not so exercised
will be forfeited, (d) his indemnification agreement will continue
in force, (e) the Escrow Agreement, if then in force, will continue
in force, unless such agreement is thereafter amended or terminated
pursuant to its terms, (f) he will be entitled to the lifetime
group insurance benefits described in paragraph 5.2 above except
that any future amendments to such benefits shall apply to him in
the same manner as such amendments apply to other employees and (g)
his Severance Agreement and all rights thereunder will terminate as
of such termination or resignation date unless a Change in Control
or Potential Change in Control (as such terms are defined in the
Severance Agreement) has occurred prior to such termination or
resignation date.

     If Executive's Severance Agreement is in force upon a Change
in Control (as defined in the Severance Agreement), the provisions
of this paragraph 7.2 will not be applicable if he resigns (with or
without Good Reason) within two (2) years after the Change in
Control, and in the event of such resignation after a Change in
Control he will be entitled to the payments, rights and benefits as
provided in paragraph 10 below.

     7.3  If Executive retires anytime after June 30, 1997, and
prior to the Termination Date, any stock options and shares of
restricted stock scheduled to vest during the two years after the
date of retirement shall vest immediately on the date of
retirement. If Executive retires after the Termination Date, all
unvested stock options and shares of restricted stock shall vest
immediately on the date of retirement. Except as provided in this
paragraph, all other provisions of Paragraph 7.2 shall apply if
Executive retires without Good Reason.  This provision shall
survive the termination of the agreement, but shall not apply if
Executive could, at the time of retirement, be discharged for
Cause.

8.   Death

     In the event of Executive's death prior to the Termination
Date, during his employment under this Agreement, his salary and
all rights and benefits under this Agreement will terminate, and
his estate and beneficiary(ies) will receive the benefits they are
entitled to under the terms of the Company's benefit plans and
programs by reason of a participant's death during active
employment including the death benefits provided by the EDCP and
the applicable rights and benefits under the Company's stock plans. 
The Escrow Agreement if then in force will continue in force
(subject to its amendment or termination in accordance with its
terms) for the benefit of Executive's beneficiaries until his
deferred compensation accounts are paid in full, and Executive's
indemnification agreement will continue in force for the benefit of
his estate. 

9.   Disability

     In the event of Executive's disability prior to the
Termination Date, during his employment, he will be entitled to
apply at his option for the Company's long term disability
benefits.  If he is accepted for such benefits, then the terms and
provisions of the Company's benefit plans and programs (including
the EDCP and the Company's Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plans)
that are applicable in the event of such disability of an employee
shall apply in lieu of the salary and benefits under this
Agreement, except that (a) the Escrow Agreement (if then in force)
and his indemnification agreement will continue in force (the
Escrow Agreement will be subject to amendment or termination in
accordance with its terms), and (b) he will be entitled to the
lifetime group insurance benefits described in paragraph 5.2.  If
Executive is disabled so that he cannot perform his duties (as
determined by the HRC), and if he does not apply for long term
disability benefits or is not accepted for such benefits, then the
Board may terminate his duties under this Agreement and, in such
event, he will receive two years salary continuation together with
all other benefits, and during such period of salary continuation
any stock options and restricted stock grants then in existence
will continue in force for vesting purposes.  However, during such
period of salary continuation for disability, Executive will not be
eligible to participate in the annual bonus plan nor will he be
eligible to receive stock option or restricted stock grants or any
other long term incentive awards except to the extent approved by
the HRC.

10.  Change in Control

     If a Change in Control as defined in Executive's Severance
Agreement occurs prior to Executive's termination of employment and
if the Severance Agreement is in force when the Change in Control
occurs, then, upon his termination or voluntary or involuntary
resignation within two years after the Change in Control (including
termination on December 31, 1999 due to expiration of this
Agreement), except if his termination of employment is for "Cause,"
"Disability" or "Retirement" as set forth in the Severance
Agreement, he will be entitled to all the rights, payments and
benefits provided under his Severance Agreement including the
benefits that the Severance Agreement provides with respect to the
benefit plans and programs of the Company resulting from his
termination or voluntary resignation, in lieu of the rights and
benefits that would otherwise apply under this Agreement by virtue
of his termination or resignation, provided that (a) the Escrow
Agreement (if then in force) and his indemnification agreement will
continue in force (the Escrow Agreement will be subject to
amendment or termination in accordance with its terms) and (b) he
will be entitled to the lifetime group insurance benefits described
in paragraph 5.2.

11.   Definitions of Cause and Good Reason.

      11.1  Cause.  Termination by the Company of this Agreement
for "Cause" shall mean termination upon the Executive's engaging in
willful and continued misconduct, or the Executive's willful and
continued failure to substantially perform his duties with the
Company (other than due to physical or mental illness), if such
failure or misconduct is materially damaging or materially
detrimental to the business and operations of the Company; provided
that Executive shall have received written notice of such failure
or misconduct and shall have continued to engage in such failure or
misconduct after 30 days following receipt of such notice from the
Board, which notice specifically identifies the manner in which the
Board believes that Executive has engaged in such failure or
misconduct.  For purposes of this Paragraph, no act, or failure to
act, on the Executive's part shall be deemed "willful" unless done,
or omitted to be done, by the Executive not in good faith and
without reasonable belief that the Executive's action or omission
was in the best interest of the Company.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Executive shall not be deemed to have been
terminated for Cause unless and until there shall have been
delivered to the Executive a copy of a resolution duly adopted by
the affirmative vote of not less than three-quarters of the entire
membership of the Board at a meeting of the Board called and held
for such purposes (after reasonable notice to the Executive and an
opportunity for him, together with his counsel, to be heard before
the Board), finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board the
Executive was guilty of failure to substantially perform his duties
or of misconduct in accordance with the first sentence of this
paragraph, and of continuing such failure to substantially perform
his duties or misconduct as aforesaid after notice from the Board,
and specifying the particulars thereof in detail.

     11.2  Good Reason.  "Good Reason" shall mean, without
Executive's express written consent, the occurrence of any of the
following circumstances unless, in the case of paragraphs (a), (e),
(f) or (g), such circumstances are fully corrected prior to the
date of termination specified in the written notice given by
Executive notifying the Company of his resignation for Good Reason:

     (a)  The assignment to Executive of any duties inconsistent
with his status as Chief Executive Officer of the Company or a
substantial adverse alteration in the nature or status of his
responsibilities;

     (b)  A reduction by the Company in his annual base salary of
$310,000 or as the same may be increased from time to time pursuant
to paragraph 4 hereof;

     (c)  The relocation of the Company's principal executive
offices where Executive is working to a location more than 50 miles
from the location of such offices on the date of this Agreement, or
the Company's requiring Executive to be based anywhere other than
the location of the Company's principal offices where Executive is
working on the date of this Agreement except for required travel on
the Company's business to an extent substantially consistent with
Executive's present business travel obligations;

     (d)  The failure by the Company, without Executive's consent,
to pay to him any portion of his current compensation except
pursuant to a compensation deferral elected by the Executive, or to
pay to Executive any portion of an installment of deferred
compensation under any deferred compensation program of the Company
within thirty days of the date such compensation is due;

     (e)  Except as permitted by this Agreement, the failure by the
Company to continue in effect any compensation plan in which
Executive is participating on the date of this Agreement which is
material to Executive's total compensation, including, but not
limited to, the Company's annual bonus plan, the EDCP (which may be
modified or terminated as to further deferrals after 1995), the
Restricted Stock Plan, or the Stock Option Plan or any substitute
plans unless an equitable arrangement (embodied in an ongoing
substitute or alternative plan) has been made with respect to such
plan, or the failure by the Company to continue Executive's
participation therein (or in such substitute or alternative plan)
on a basis not materially less favorable, both in terms of the
amount of benefits provided and the level of Executive's
participation relative to other participants at Executive's grade
level;

     (f)  The failure by the Company to continue to provide
Executive with benefits substantially similar to those enjoyed by
him under the S&RP, except as required by law, and the life
insurance, medical, health and accident, and disability plans in
which Executive is participating on the date of this Agreement, the
taking of any action by the Company which would directly or
indirectly materially reduce any of such benefits or deprive
Executive of any material fringe benefit enjoyed by Executive on
the date of this Agreement except as permitted by this Agreement,
or the failure by the Company to provide Executive with the number
of paid vacation days to which Executive is entitled; or

     (g)  The failure of the Company to obtain a satisfactory
agreement from any successor to assume and agree to perform this
Agreement, as contemplated in Section 14 hereof.

     Executive's right to terminate his employment pursuant to this
Agreement for Good Reason shall not be affected by Executive's
incapacity due to physical or mental illness.  Executive's
continued employment shall not constitute consent to, or a waiver
of rights with respect to, any circumstance constituting Good
Reason hereunder.

12. Non-Competition Agreement.

     12.1  For a period of two years after Executive's full-time,
active employment (which period, for purposes of this paragraph
12.1, shall not include employee status as a consultant-employee in
paragraph 6.2(a)) with the Company (or with a direct or indirect
subsidiary of the Company) ends, he will not, directly or
indirectly, solicit or recruit any employee of the Company or of
any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries, and he will not engage
(as an employee, consultant, director, investor, contractor, or
otherwise) directly or indirectly in any business in the United
States, Canada or Mexico that is competitive with any business that
the Company or its direct or indirect subsidiaries are engaged (as
owner, manager, consultant, licensor, partner, or otherwise) in at
the time such employment ends except with the prior specific
approval of the Board.

     12.2  If Executive breaches any of the above covenants in
12.1, then the Board may terminate any of his rights under this
Agreement upon thirty days written notice whereupon all of the
Company's obligations under this Agreement shall terminate
(including, without limitation, the right to lifetime group
insurance) without further obligation to him except for obligations
that have been paid, accrued or are vested as of or prior to such
termination date.  In addition the Company shall be entitled to
enforce any such covenants including obtaining monetary damages,
specific performance and injunctive relief.

13. Binding Arbitration.

     Any and all claims, disputes or controversies arising out of
or related to this Agreement or the breach thereof shall be
resolved by arbitration in accordance with the rules of the
American Arbitration Association (the "AAA") then in existence,
subject to this paragraph 13.  Such arbitration shall be conducted
by a panel of three arbitrators.  The Executive shall appoint one
arbitrator, the Company shall appoint one arbitrator, and the third
shall be appointed by the two arbitrators appointed by the parties. 
The third arbitrator shall serve as chairman of the panel.  The
parties shall appoint their arbitrators within 30 days after the
demand for arbitration is served, failing which the AAA promptly
shall appoint a defaulting party's arbitrator, and the two
arbitrators shall select the third arbitrator within 15 days after
their appointment, or if they cannot agree or fail to so appoint,
then the AAA promptly shall appoint the third arbitrator.  The
arbitrators shall render their decision in writing within 60 days
after the close of evidence or other termination of the proceedings
by the panel.  The determination or award rendered in such
arbitration shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties and
shall not be appealable, and judgment may be entered thereon in
accordance with applicable law in any court of competent
jurisdiction.  Any hearings in the arbitration shall be held in
Memphis, Tennessee, and shall be private and not open to the
public.  Each party shall bear the fees and expenses of its
arbitrator, counsel and witnesses, and the fees and expenses of the
third arbitrator shall be shared equally by the parties.  Other
costs of the arbitration, including the fees of AAA, shall be
shared equally by the parties.

14.  Assumption of Agreement on Merger, Consolidation or Sale of
Assets.

     The Company agrees that until the termination of this
Agreement as above provided, it will not enter into any merger or
consolidation with another company in which the Company is not the
surviving company, or sell or dispose of all or substantially all
of its assets, unless the company which is to survive such merger
or consolidation or the prospective purchaser of such assets first
makes a written agreement with the Executive either (1) assuming
the Company's financial obligations to the Executive under this
Agreement, or (2) making such other provision for the Executive as
is satisfactory to the Executive and approved by him in writing in
lieu of assuming the Company's financial obligations to him under
this Agreement.

15.  Assurances on Liquidation.

     The Company agrees that until the termination of this
Agreement as above provided, it will not voluntarily liquidate or
dissolve without first making a full settlement or, at the
discretion of the Executive, a written agreement with the Executive
satisfactory to and approved by him in writing, in fulfillment of
or in lieu of its obligations to him under this Agreement.

16.  Amendments.

     This Agreement may not be amended or modified orally, and no
provision hereof may be waived, except in a writing signed by the
parties hereto.

17.  Assignment.

     17.1  Except as otherwise provided in paragraph 17.2, this
Agreement cannot be assigned by either party hereto except with the
written consent of the other.  Any assignment of this Agreement by
either party hereto shall not relieve such party of its or his
obligations hereunder.

     17.2  The Company may elect to perform any or all of its
obligations under this Agreement through its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Promus Hotels, Inc., or another subsidiary, and if the
Company so elects, Executive will be an employee of Promus Hotels,
Inc., or such other subsidiary.  Notwithstanding any such election,
the Company's obligations to Executive under this Agreement will
continue in full force and effect as obligations of the Company,
and the Company shall retain primary liability for their
performance.

18.  Binding Effect.

     This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of the personal representatives and successors in interest of the
Company.

19.  Choice of Law.

     This Agreement shall be governed by the law of the State of
Tennessee as to all matters, including but not limited to matters
of validity, construction, effect and performance.

20.  Severability of Provisions.

     In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this
Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby, and this Agreement shall be interpreted as if
such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision was not contained
herein.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Executive has hereunto set his hand
and the Company has caused this Agreement to be executed in its
name and on its behalf and its corporate seal to be hereunto
affixed and attested by its corporate officers thereunto duly
authorized.

Retirement:  The Board can terminate him for "Cause."  If so, or if
he resigns without Good Reason, any unvested options and restricted
stock are forfeited.  However, if he retires after June 30, 1997
but before December 31, 1999, any stock options and  restricted
stock scheduled to vest during the next two years vest immediately;
if he retires after December 31, 1999, all unvested options and
shares of restricted stock vest immediately.  He can exercise
vested stock options up to 12:00 p.m. on the termination date. 
Benefits cease except for lifetime health insurance.

     6.  Expiration of Agreement:  Upon expiration of the
agreement, all salary and benefits will cease (except for lifetime
health insurance).

     7.  Change in Control:  If he resigns or is terminated (except
due to death, disability or retirement) within two years after a
change in control, he receives benefits under his severance
agreement in lieu of salary continuation or other rights under his
employment agreement.

     8.  Death:  Upon his death, the employment agreement
terminates, and his beneficiary/estate will receive the benefits
normally provided to the beneficiaries of a deceased employee.

     9.  Disability:  Upon disability, he can apply for standard
long-term disability benefits.  If he does not apply or does not
qualify, and if the Human Resources Committee nevertheless
determines he is unable to perform his job, the Board can terminate
his agreement.  If this occurs, he will receive two years salary
continuation and all benefits (except for new stock grants and
annual bonus), and his unvested options and restricted stock will
continue in force for vesting purposes during the salary
continuation period.  He will receive lifetime insurance benefits. 
If he does qualify for long-term disability, then the terms of the
applicable plans and programs will apply in lieu of salary and
benefits under this agreement.

     10.  Escrow Agreement (Rabbi Trust) and Indemnification
Agreement:  If his employment terminates for any reason, his
indemnification agreement will continue in effect, and the Escrow
Agreement will continue in effect subject to amendment or
termination under its own terms.

     11.  Covenant Not to Compete:  For two years after his
termination of employment status or consultancy, he agrees not to
engage directly or indirectly in any business in the U.S., Mexico,
or Canada that is competitive with any business of the Company and
not to solicit or recruit Promus Hotel employees without prior
specific Board approval.

     12.  Arbitration:  All disputes under the agreement are to be
settled by binding arbitration with each party bearing its own cost
and expenses.

     13.  Merger/Liquidation:  The Company cannot liquidate or
merge into another company unless the new company assumes the
financial obligation of the employment agreement or unless a
settlement agreement is entered into that is satisfactory to him.

     14.  Employment by Subsidiary:  He may legally be an employee
of Promus Hotels, Inc., or another Promus Hotel Corporation
subsidiary, but Promus Hotel Corporation will remain primarily
obligated for the obligations under this agreement.


                             EXHIBIT 10.27
                        SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT


          This SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made and
entered as of this 17th day of October, 1995, by and among PROMUS
HOTELS, INC. ("Promus"), a Delaware corporation, FELCOR SUITE
HOTELS, INC. (the "Company"), a Maryland corporation, and FELCOR
SUITES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (the "Partnership"), a Delaware limited
partnership.

                                RECITALS

     A.  Promus owns, operates and franchises hotels under the
trademark and service mark Embassy Suites ("Embassy Suites
hotels").

     B.  The Company owns an approximate 82.8% general partner
interest in the Partnership, which currently owns interests in
thirteen Embassy Suites hotels, all of which hotels are leased by
the Partnership to DJONT Operations, L.L.C. (the "Lessee").

     C.  All of the Embassy Suites hotels currently owned by the
Partnership are operated by the Lessee under franchise licenses
from Promus pursuant to franchise license agreements between the
Lessee and Promus, and twelve of the Embassy Suites hotels
currently owned by the Partnership are managed on behalf of the
Lessee by Promus pursuant to management agreements between the
Lessee and Promus.

     D.  As of September 19, 1995, Felcor/CSS Holdings, L.P. and
PFS Ventures, Inc. ("FelCor") entered into documents (as in effect
on such date and without regard to any subsequent amendments or
modifications thereto, the "Acquisition Documents") regarding the
acquisition by FelCor of fee ownership of thirteen Crown Sterling
hotels, ground leases in three Crown Sterling hotels, general and
limited partnership interests in the LAX and Mandalay Crown
Sterling hotels (the "Partnership Interests"), the Crown Sterling
trademark and related intellectual property and all management and
license agreements with respect to Crown Sterling (collectively the
"Crown Sterling Hotel Chain").  The acquisition contemplated by the
Acquisition Documents is intended to be closed in two or more
phases.  At a closing anticipated for November 15, 1995 (the "First
Crown Sterling Closing"), it is contemplated that FelCor will
acquire up to seven Crown Sterling hotels, the Partnership
Interests, the Crown Sterling trademark and related intellectual
property, and the management and license agreements relating to
such hotels.  It is contemplated that FelCor will acquire the
remaining Crown Sterling hotels and the remainder of the Crown
Sterling Hotel Chain at a second closing (the "Second Crown
Sterling Closing") anticipated for January 3, 1996, but extendible
to a date not later than February 15, 1996.

     E.  The Company intends to undertake a public offering of its
common stock, $0.01 par value (the "Common Stock") pursuant to a
registration statement to be filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on or shortly after October 18, 1995 (the "Public
Offering"), all of the proceeds of which will be contributed by the
Company to the Partnership for use by the Partnership, in part, to
complete the acquisition by FelCor contemplated by the Acquisition
Documents.  Concurrently with the Public Offering, Promus shall
purchase Common Stock in the amount of Twenty-Five Million Dollars
($25,000,000), at a per share price equal to the per share price at
which shares of Common Stock are sold in the Public Offering,
pursuant to the same registration statement in a concurrent
offering (the "Promus Offering").

     F.  Also in connection with the acquisition contemplated by
the Acquisition Documents and certain other acquisitions as set
forth herein, Promus has agreed to subscribe for the purchase of up
to Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000) in Common Stock and/or
units of limited partner interest of the Partnership (the "Units")
upon the terms outlined in this Agreement (the "Crown Sterling
Subscription").  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in
this Agreement, the aggregate amount committed by Promus in
connection with the Promus Offering and the Crown Sterling
Subscription shall be up to Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000),
subject to compliance with applicable law.

     G.  The parties to this Agreement agree that Promus will have
the right to sell to the public any Common Stock and/or Units
received in the Promus Offering and/or pursuant to the Crown
Sterling Subscription at any time following one year from the date
of first issuance of said Common Stock and/or Units to Promus.

                            AGREEMENT

          NOW, THEREFORE, FOR AND IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual
promises and covenants contained herein, and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the parties do hereby agree as follows:

          1.   Terms of Subscription

                     (a)  Promus Offering.  Promus hereby
                subscribes for and agrees to consummate the Promus
                Offering at the purchase price determined in
                accordance with Section 2 below.

                     (b)  Crown Sterling Subscription.  Promus
                hereby subscribes for and agrees to purchase, from
                time to time, Common Sock and/or Units in
                consummation of the Crown Sterling Subscription,
                subject to the limitations set forth in Section
                1(e) below, at the purchase price determined in
                accordance with Section 2 below.  The Crown
                Sterling Subscription shall consist exclusively of
                Common Stock unless, at the time of any incremental
                purchase (each a "Crown Sterling Incremental
                Purchase"), Promus owns the maximum amount of
                Common Stock (the "Limit") permitted under the
                charter of the Company and no waiver of such Limit
                can be made without jeopardizing the Company's REIT
                status.

                     (c)  Units.  Any Crown Sterling Incremental
                Purchase which, if consisting exclusively of Common
                Stock, would result in Promus owning an amount of
                Common Stock in excess of the Limit shall consist
                of (i) in those instances where, prior to
                undertaking the Crown Sterling Incremental Purchase
                in question, Promus did not own an amount of Common
                Stock equal to or in excess of the Limit, (A)
                Common Stock up to and until such point as Promus
                owns the Limit of Common Stock and (B) Units in
                sufficient number to satisfy any difference between
                the dollar amount of such Crown Sterling
                Incremental Purchase and the dollar amount of
                Common Stock received by Promus pursuant to clause
                (A) above, or (ii) in those instances where, prior
                to undertaking the Crown Sterling Incremental
                Purchase in question, Promus owns an amount of
                Common Stock equal to or in excess of the Limit,
                Units exclusively.  To the extent that any
                provision of the charter of the Company would
                restrict the amount of Common Stock which Promus
                could acquire, the Company agrees to waive such
                restriction so long as its REIT status would not be
                jeopardized as a result of such waiver.

                     (d)  Redemption of Units.  Each Unit shall be
                redeemable by Promus, at any time following one
                year after the date of first issuance of such Units
                pursuant to this Section 1 for one share of Common
                Stock, subject only to the restrictions contained
                in Section 7.5 of the Amended and Restated
                Agreement of Limited Partnership of the
                Partnership, dated as of July 25, 1994 (as in
                effect as of the date of this Agreement and without
                regard to any subsequent amendments or
                modifications thereto, the "Partnership
                Agreement"); provided, that if Promus would be
                subject to the recovery of profits under
                Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of
                1934, as amended, with respect to the redemption of
                such Units for cash, the Partnership shall not
                satisfy such redemption in whole or in part with
                cash without the prior consent of Promus.

                     (e)  Limitations.  Promus' agreement herein to
                purchase Common Stock and/or Units in the Crown
                Sterling Subscription, the proceeds of which are to
                be used by the Partnership to complete the
                acquisition by FelCor pursuant to the Acquisition
                Documents shall not exceed at any time the amount
                (the "Aggregate Subscription Limit") by which the
                Closed Hotel Amount (as hereinafter defined)
                exceeds Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000). 
                The "Closed Hotel Amount" shall equal Fifty Million
                Dollars ($50,000,000) times a fraction, the
                numerator of which is the sum of the Allocated
                Purchase Price (as set forth on Exhibit A hereto)
                for all hotels the purchase of which has been
                closed pursuant to the Acquisition Documents, and
                the denominator of which shall equal Four Hundred
                Eighty-Five Million Five Hundred Thirty-Eight
                Thousand Seven dollars ($485,538,007).  The
                difference between the Aggregate Subscription Limit
                and Twenty Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000) shall
                be available for purchases of Qualifying Hotels, as
                defined in, and pursuant to the terms and
                conditions of, that certain Subscription Agreement,
                dated as of May 3, 1995 by and among Embassy
                Suites, Inc., the Company and the Partnership (the
                "Prior Subscription Agreement") as though such
                terms and conditions of the Prior Subscription
                Agreement were set forth herein, and in no event
                shall the amount of Common Stock and/or Units
                purchased by Promus hereunder (other than pursuant
                to the Promus Offering) exceed Twenty Five Million
                Dollars ($25,000,000).

                     (f)  Sale.  Subject to Section 8(d) hereof,
                Promus may not sell to the public any Common Stock
                and/or Units received in the Promus Offering,
                pursuant to the Crown Sterling Subscription or upon
                redemption of such Units until at least one year
                following the date of first issuance of said Common
                Stock and/or Units.

          2.  Purchase Price.  The purchase price for each share of
Common Stock and each Unit acquired hereunder (the "Crown Sterling
Purchase Price") shall be equal to the public offering price per
share at which shares of Common Stock are sold in the Public
Offering.

          3.  Conditions to Purchase.  The following shall be
conditions precedent to the obligation of Promus to purchase Common
Stock and/or Units in connection with the Crown Sterling
Subscription:

                     (a)  FelCor shall have made a formal request
                upon Promus in connection with either (i) the First
                Crown Sterling Closing, (ii) the Second Crown
                Sterling Closing, (iii) an interim closing of the
                purchase by FelCor of interests in one or more
                Crown Sterling hotels pursuant to the Acquisition
                Documents or (iv) following the date on which a
                minimum of fourteen (14) of the hotels listed on
                Exhibit A have been acquired pursuant to the
                Acquisition Documents, the purchase of any other
                Qualifying Hotel.

                     (b)  With respect to acquisitions pursuant to
                the Acquisition Documents, any request for a Crown
                Sterling Incremental Purchase from the Company
                shall be for an amount which, when aggregated with
                all amounts previously purchased hereunder, shall
                not exceed the Aggregate Subscription Limit.  No
                request hereunder shall, when aggregated with all
                amounts previously subscribed hereunder, exceed
                Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000) in the
                aggregate.

          4.  Purchase Closings.  In connection with the Crown
Sterling Subscription, Promus shall pay to the Partnership, by wire
transfer or by certified or bank cashier's check, amounts as
designated by the Partnership from time to time, the aggregate
amount not to exceed the Aggregate Subscription Limit with respect
to the acquisition pursuant to the Acquisition Documents, and
Twenty Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000) in the aggregate.  In
connection with each Crown Sterling Incremental Purchase, the
Partnership shall issue to Promus one or more certificates
representing the whole number of shares of Common Stock and/or
Units, as provided in Section 1 hereof, equal to the quotient of
(i) the amount paid by Promus to the Partnership in connection with
such incremental purchase divided by (ii) the Crown Sterling
Purchase Price.  The Partnership shall not be required to issue
fractional shares of Common Stock or Units in connection with such
incremental purchase and, in lieu thereof, the Partnership shall
refund to Promus the cash amount represented by the fractional
share of Common Stock or Unit based upon the Crown Sterling
Purchase Price.

          5.  Term.  Promus' obligations in connection with the
Crown Sterling Subscription shall terminate (a) upon the earliest
to occur of (i) the date that Promus shall have completed its
subscription obligation in connection with the Crown Sterling
Subscription, (ii) delivery of written notice to Promus that the
Partnership has terminated Promus' obligation in connection with
the Crown Sterling Subscription and (iii) with respect to hotels
acquired pursuant to the Acquisition Documents, the date on which
the final Crown Sterling Closing occurs, but not later than March
31, 1996, and (b) with respect to any other Qualifying Hotels, June
30, 1996.

          6.  Representations and Warranties of Promus.  Promus
hereby represents and warrants to the Company and the Partnership
as follows:

                     (a)  The execution, delivery and performance
                of this Agreement by Promus has been duly
                authorized by all necessary corporate action.  This
                Agreement constitutes a valid and binding
                obligation of Promus, enforceable in accordance
                with its terms.

                     (b)  It is familiar with the business and
                financial condition of the Company and the
                Partnership, and is not relying upon any
                representations made to it by the Company, the
                Partnership or any of the officers, employees or
                agents of either of them that are not contained
                herein.

                     (c)  It is aware of the risks involved in
                making an investment in the Common Stock and in the
                Units.  It has had an opportunity to ask questions
                of, and to receive answers from, the Partnership
                and the Company, or a person or persons authorized
                to act on their behalf, concerning the terms and
                conditions of this investment.  Promus confirms
                that all documents, records and books pertaining to
                its investment in the Partnership that have been
                requested by it have been made available or
                delivered to it prior to the date hereof.

                     (d)  It understands that neither the Common
                Stock nor the Units to be issued pursuant to the
                Crown Sterling Subscription have been registered
                under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or
                any state securities acts, and are instead being
                offered and sold in reliance on an exemption from
                such registration requirements.  The Common Stock
                and Units for which Promus hereby subscribes are
                being acquired solely for its own account, for
                investment, and are not being purchased with a view
                to, or for resale in connection with, any
                distribution, subdivision or fractionalization
                thereof, in violation of such laws and Promus has
                no present intention to enter into any contract,
                undertaking, agreement or arrangement with respect
                to any such resale.

                     (e)  It is an accredited investor as that term
                is defined in Rule 501 and Regulation D of the
                Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

          The foregoing representations and warranties are true and
accurate as of the date hereof and shall be true and accurate as of
the date of each incremental purchase pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement.  If in any respect such representations and warranties
shall not be true and accurate as of any such incremental purchase,
Promus shall give written notice of such fact to the Company and
the Partnership prior to such purchase, specifying which
representations and warranties are not true and accurate and the
reasons therefor.

          7.  Representations and Warranties of the Company and the
Partnership.  Each of the Company and the Partnership hereby
jointly and severally represents and warrants to Promus that the
representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit B attached
hereto and by this reference incorporated herein shall be true and
correct in all material respects as of the date of the consummation
of the Public Offering, and each of the Company and the Partnership
further jointly and severally represents and warrants to Promus as
follows:

                     (a)  The Company and the Partnership each have
                full legal right, power and authority to enter into
                this Agreement and the registration rights
                agreement referred to in Section 8 hereof, and to
                consummate the transactions contemplated herein and
                therein.  This Agreement has been, and the
                registration rights agreement referred to in
                Section 8 hereof will be, duly authorized by all
                necessary corporate and partnership action, and
                each will constitute the valid and binding
                obligation of each of the Company and the
                Partnership, enforceable in accordance with their
                respective terms.  The Partnership Agreement
                constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the
                Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

                     (b)  Units, when issued to Promus, will have
                been duly and validly authorized and issued, free
                of any preemptive or similar rights, and be fully
                paid and nonassessable, without any obligation to
                restore capital except as required by the Delaware
                Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act (the
                "Delaware Act").  As a holder thereof, Promus shall
                be admitted as a limited partner of the Partnership
                entitled to all of the rights and protections of
                limited partners under the Delaware Act and the
                provisions of the Partnership Agreement, with the
                same rights, preferences and privileges as all
                existing limited partners on a pari passu basis. 
                The Common Stock has been validly authorized and,
                when issued to Promus, will be duly and validly
                issued, fully paid, nonassessable and free of
                preemptive or similar rights.  Authorized and
                unissued shares of Common Stock sufficient to
                satisfy the Company's obligation to issue such
                shares to Promus upon redemption of Units shall at
                all times be reserved by the Company, and the
                Company shall take no action to prevent the
                redemption of the Units by virtue of Section
                7.5(c)(v) of the Partnership Agreement.

                     (c)  Assuming the accuracy of the
                representations of Promus set forth in Section 6
                hereof, (i) the Common Stock and Units will have
                been issued, offered and sold to Promus in
                compliance with all applicable laws (including,
                without limitation, federal and state securities
                laws), (ii) any share of Common Stock issued to
                Promus, either in connection with an incremental
                purchase pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or
                upon redemption of Units so received, shall have
                been issued, offered and sold in compliance with
                all applicable laws (including, without limitation,
                federal and state securities laws) and (iii) each
                consent, approval, authorization, order, license,
                certificate, permit, registration, designation or
                filing by or with any governmental agency or body
                necessary for the valid authorization, issuance,
                sale and delivery of any Common Stock or Units to
                Promus, the valid authorization, issuance, sale and
                delivery of such shares upon redemption of the
                Units, the execution, delivery and performance of
                this Agreement and the registration rights
                agreement referred to in Section 8 hereof and the
                consummation by the Company and the Partnership of
                the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby
                has been made or obtained and is in full force and
                effect.

                     (d)  Neither the issuance, sale and delivery
                to Promus by the Partnership of the Units, nor the
                issuance, sale and delivery to Promus by the
                Company of the Common Stock directly or upon
                redemption of the Units, nor the execution,
                delivery and performance of this Agreement and the

                transactions contemplated hereby or thereby by the
                Company or the Partnership, as applicable, will
                conflict with or result in a breach or violation of
                any of the terms and provisions of, or (with or
                without the giving of notice or passage of time or
                both) constitute a default under, any agreement to
                which the Company, the Partnership, the Lessee or
                FelCor is a party, the certificate of
                incorporation, bylaws, certificate of limited
                partnership, partnership agreement or limited
                liability company agreement, as the case may be, of
                the Company, the Partnership or the Lessee, any
                indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement,
                note, lease or other agreement or instrument to
                which the Company, the Partnership or the Lessee is
                a party or to which any of them, any of their
                respective properties or other assets or any hotel
                is subject, or any applicable statute, judgment,
                decree, rule or regulation of any court or
                governmental agency or body applicable to any of
                the foregoing or any of their respective
                properties, or result in the creation or imposition
                of any lien, charge, claim or encumbrance upon any
                property or asset of any of the foregoing.

            The foregoing representations and warranties are true
and accurate as of the date hereof, or such other date as of which
they are deemed to be made, and shall be true and accurate as of
the date of the first subscription pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement, and shall survive such date; and the representations and
warranties set forth in Exhibit B hereto, and paragraphs (a)
through (d) above, shall also be true and accurate as of the date
of each subsequent Crown Sterling Incremental Purchase, and shall
survive each such date.

            8.  Registration Rights.  Prior to the earlier to occur
of the first purchase of Units hereunder and the closing of the
Promus Offering, the Company shall enter into with Promus a
registration rights agreement in form and substance agreeable to
Promus and the Company, providing, among other things, for the
following with respect to Common Stock purchased by Promus pursuant
to the Promus Offering, Common Stock acquired by Promus pursuant to
the Crown Sterling Subscription and Common Stock issued upon
redemption of the Units:

                (a)  On or before July 1, 1996, the Company shall
           file and use its best efforts to cause to become
           effective, a registration statement under the Securities
           Act of 1933, as amended, and necessary qualifications or
           registrations under the securities laws covering the
           resale by Promus of all shares of Common Stock issued to
           Promus under and pursuant to this Agreement and pursuant
           to the redemption of any Units issued to Promus under and
           pursuant to this Agreement.  The Company shall use its
           best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such
           registration statement and such qualifications or
           registrations (except during periods when Promus shall be
           restricted from selling shares hereunder) until the
           earlier of (i) such time as all of the shares of Common
           Stock issuable upon redemption of the Units and pursuant
           to the Promus Offering have been issued to and sold by
           Promus, (ii) such time as all remaining shares of Common
           Stock issuable upon redemption of the Units and pursuant
           to the Promus Offering have been issued to and may be
           resold by Promus without restriction under the Securities
           Act of 1933, as amended, and (iii) December 31, 2000.

                (b)  During any consecutive three month period,
           Promus shall be prohibited, unless the Company shall
           otherwise consent thereto in writing, from selling more
           than 3% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock,
           whether pursuant to said registration statement or
           otherwise, except in an underwritten public offering in
           which the managing underwriter is one reasonably
           acceptable to the Company.

                (c)  All expenses of such registration statement,
           other than any underwriting discounts or commissions or
           transfer taxes, but including the reasonable fees and
           expenses of all separate counsel for Promus, shall be
           borne by the Company.

                (d)  (i) Promus shall refrain from the sale of any
           shares of Common Stock for one or more periods of not
           more than sixty (60) days following written notice from
           the Company that the registration statement is not then
           current, due to the existence of material non-public
           information disclosure of which would materially
           adversely affect the business interests of the Company,
           and prior to Promus' receipt from the Company of written
           notice that such registration statement is again current,
           provided that Promus shall not be precluded from
           effecting sales pursuant to this clause (i) for more than
           ninety (90) days during any 360-day period.

                     (ii) Following written notice from the Company
           that it has filed and caused to become effective a
           registration statement including an offering of shares of
           Common Stock for sale by the Company to the public in an
           underwritten public offering, Promus shall enter into
           agreements with the underwriters of such public offering,
           substantially in the same form as agreements entered into
           by the officers and directors of the Company, precluding
           the sale of Common Stock by Promus for a period not to
           exceed one hundred eighty (180) days following such
           notice, provided that Promus was given the opportunity to
           include its shares for sale in such public offering.

           9.  Use of Proceeds.  The Company and the Partnership
agree with Promus that the proceeds of the sale of Common Stock
and/or Units in connection with the Crown Sterling Subscription
will be used solely to complete the acquisition by FelCor of the
Crown Sterling Hotel Chain pursuant to the Acquisition Documents
or, prior to June 30, 1996, as a portion of the purchase price for
the Partnership or FelCor to acquire other Qualifying Hotels
(provided that a minimum of fourteen (14) of the hotels listed on
Exhibit A have been acquired pursuant to the Acquisition
Documents).

           10.  Miscellaneous

                     (a)  All notices or other communications given
                or made hereunder shall be in writing and shall be

                mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, to

                     (b)  NOTWITHSTANDING THE PLACE WHERE THIS
                AGREEMENT MAY BE EXECUTED BY ANY OF THE PARTIES
                HERETO, THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT ALL OF THE

                PRINCIPLES), APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO
                BE WHOLLY PERFORMED THEREIN.

                Memorandum of Terms, dated as of September 20,
                1995, by and between Promus and the Company, and

                parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
                hereof.  This Agreement may be amended only by an
                instrument in writing executed by all parties. 
                Promus may assign and transfer its rights and
                obligations hereunder, and the Common Stock or
                Units it acquires, to any direct or indirect
