Item 1.01.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On June 4, 2015, certain subsidiaries of FelCor Lodging Trust Incorporated (the “Company”) and FelCor Lodging Limited Partnership (“FelCor LP”) entered into a Second Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Second A&R Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as the administrative agent and lender, and the other lenders thereto, which amends and restates the existing Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of December 18, 2012, as amended to date, providing for a revolving commitment (the “Facility”) of up to $400 million (increased from $225 million).
Under the Second A&R Credit Agreement, assuming exercise of a one-year extension option (which is subject to satisfaction of certain conditions), the Facility matures in June 2020 (extended from June 2017). Borrowings under the Facility bear interest at either (i) the greater of (a) the prime rate, (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5%, and (c) LIBOR plus 1%, in each case plus an applicable rate, which ranges from 1.25% to 1.75% depending on the leverage ratio (reduced from 2.375%), or (ii) LIBOR plus an applicable rate, which ranges from 2.25% to 2.75% depending on the leverage ratio (reduced from 3.375%). In addition to interest payable on amounts outstanding under the Facility, we will pay a quarterly fee, which ranges from 0.30% to 0.35% depending on the leverage ratio (reduced from 0.40%) on the undrawn portion of the Facility. The Facility continues to be guaranteed by the Company and FelCor LP pursuant to a Second Amended and Restated Guaranty Agreement (the “Second A&R Guaranty”) and is secured by mortgages and related security interests on seven hotels and pledges of the equity interests of the borrowers owning and operating such hotels. As long as FelCor LP’s 5.625% Senior Secured Notes due 2023 or 6.000% Senior Notes due 2025 (collectively, the “Senior Notes”) remain outstanding, the Facility imposes no corporate covenants; otherwise, the Facility adopts the same corporate covenants as applicable to the most recent senior notes. The Second A&R Credit Agreement includes rights to partial release and substitution of properties, subject to certain conditions, and the Facility is subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of certain events of default. A copy of the Second A&R Credit Agreement, the Second A&R Guaranty, a form of mortgage and a form of pledge agreement are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1.02.
Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
In connection with the closing of the Second A&R Credit Agreement, on June 4, 2015, the Company prepaid in full that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of July 21, 2014, among FelCor/JPM Phoenix Hotel, L.L.C., DJONT/JPM Phoenix Leasing, L.L.C., FelCor Union Square Hotel, L.L.C., FelCor Union Square Lessee, L.L.C., FelCor FQ Hotel, L.L.C., and FelCor FQ Lessee, L.L.C., as borrowers, and Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, as administrative agent, and the other lenders thereto (the “Bridge Loan”). The outstanding principal amount of the Bridge Loan as of June 4, 2015 was $140.0 million, and the Company paid approximately $140.2 million to fully repay the outstanding balance, including accrued interest, agent fees and legal expenses. The Bridge Loan bore interest at (i) with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans, LIBOR (no floor) plus 2.50% per annum or (ii) with respect to Base Rate Loans, a fluctuating rate per annum equal to 1.50%, plus the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, (b) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch as its “prime rate,” and (c) LIBOR plus 2.00% per annum. The Bridge Loan was guaranteed by the Company and FelCor LP and was secured by three hotels and pledges of the equity interests of the borrowers owning and operating such hotels, including one hotel that now comprises part of the security for the Facility. The Bridge Loan was scheduled to mature in July 2017.
