THIRD AMENDMENT (this “Third Amendment”), dated as of March 4, 2003, among WYNDHAM INTERNATIONAL, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), the Lenders from time to time party to the Increasing Rate Note Purchase and Loan Agreement referred to below (the “Lenders”), J.P. MORGAN SECURITIES INC. (f/k/a Chase Securities Inc.) (“JP Morgan”), as Lead Arranger and Book Manager, BEAR STEARNS CORPORATE LENDING INC., as Co-Arranger and Syndication Agent and DEUTSCHE BANK TRUST COMPANY AMERICAS (f/k/a Bankers Trust Company), as Syndication Agent (each a “Syndication Agent”, together the “Syndication Agents”), and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”). All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings provided such terms in the IRL Agreement referred to below as amended hereby, provided that the terms first defined in the Fourth Amendment dated as of March 4, 2003 to the Credit Agreement (as defined in the IRL Agreement) (the “Credit Agreement Fourth Amendment”) shall have the same meanings when used herein.

 

W I T N E S S E T H:

 

WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Lenders, JP Morgan, the Syndication Agents and the Administrative Agent are parties to an Increasing Rate Note Purchase and Loan Agreement, dated as of June 30, 1999 (as amended, modified or supplemented to, but not including, the date hereof, the “IRL Agreement”);

 

WHEREAS, the parties hereto wish to amend the IRL Agreement as herein provided; and

 

WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions of this Third Amendment, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

I.   Agreements

 

1. The Lenders hereby acknowledge the changes made to Section 5 and 7 of the Credit Agreement (and to the definitions used therein) by the Credit Agreement Fourth Amendment, which changes are binding upon the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.02(d) of the IRL Agreement.

 

2. The Lenders hereby agree and consent to Section I.1 of the Credit Agreement Fourth Amendment.

 

II.   Amendments

 

1. Section 7.05 of the IRL Agreement is amended by changing all the references therein to “Subsidiaries” to read “Non-Excluded Subsidiaries (as defined in the Credit Agreement as in effect on the Fourth Amendment Effective Date)”.


 

III.   Consents and Waiver

 

1. The Lenders hereby acknowledge that all of the consents, waivers and authorizations granted by Section III of the Credit Agreement Fourth Amendment constitute changes to or waivers of, the provisions contained in Sections 3, 5, 6 and/or 7 of the Credit Agreement and thus are binding on all Lenders as provided in Section 9.02(d) of the IRL Agreement and the Lenders hereby grant all authorizations set forth in said Section.

 

IV.   Miscellaneous

 

1. In order to induce the undersigned Lenders to enter into this Third Amendment, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants that (x) no Default or Event of Default exists on the Third Amendment Effective Date (as defined below) after giving effect to this Third Amendment and (y) all of the representations and warranties contained in the IRL Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Third Amendment Effective Date after giving effect to this Third Amendment, with the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of the Third Amendment Effective Date (unless such representations expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case they shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date).

 

2. This Third Amendment is limited as specified and shall not constitute a modification, acceptance or waiver of any other provision of the IRL Agreement or any other Loan Document.

 

3. This Third Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which counterparts when executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. A complete set of counterparts shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

 

4. THIS THIRD AMENDMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 

5. This Third Amendment shall become effective on the date (the “Third Amendment Effective Date”) on which (i) the Borrower and Lenders constituting the Required Obligees shall have signed a counterpart hereof (whether the same or different counterparts) and shall have delivered (including by way of facsimile transmission) same to the Administrative Agent at White & Case LLP, 1155 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10036, Attention: Daniel M. Ford (facsimile number ###-###-####); and (ii) the Credit Agreement Fourth Amendment shall have become effective in accordance with its terms;

 

Unless the Administrative Agent has received actual notice from any Lender that the conditions contained in clause (ii) above have not been satisfied, upon the satisfaction of the condition described in clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence and upon the Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that the other conditions described above have been met, the Third Amendment Effective Date shall be deemed to have occurred, regardless of

 

2


any subsequent determination that one or more of the other conditions had not been met (although the occurrence of the Third Amendment Effective Date shall not release the Borrower from any liability for failure to satisfy one or more of the other conditions specified above).

 

6. The Borrower shall pay to each Lender which executed and delivered a counterpart of this Third Amendment on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on Tuesday, March 4, 2003 a non-refundable cash fee (the “Amendment Fee”) in an amount equal to .125% of the outstanding principal amount of the Loans of such Lender determined as of the Third Amendment Effective Date.

 

7. From and after the Third Amendment Effective Date all references in the IRL Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the IRL Agreement shall be deemed to be references to the IRL Agreement as modified hereby. Except as modified hereunder, the terms, provisions and conditions of the IRL Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall continue in full force and effect.
