PROSPECTUS
 
                           HOST MARRIOTT CORPORATION
 
              7,700,000 WARRANTS TO ACQUIRE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
                        7,700,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
 
  Host Marriott Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), is issuing
7,700,000 Warrants (the "Warrants") to acquire shares of the Company's common
stock, $1.00 par value per share ("Common Stock") in connection with the
settlement of class action lawsuits instituted against the Company and certain
individual defendants by certain holders and purchasers of senior notes and
debentures of the Company. The Warrants are being distributed pursuant to such
settlement to the "Initial Warrantholders" as described more fully herein. See
"Plan of Distribution." Additionally, 7,700,000 shares of Common Stock which
may be purchased upon exercise of the Warrants by holders thereof are being
offered hereby on a continuous basis. As of the date of this Prospectus, no
Warrants have been exercised and no shares of Common Stock have been issued
thereunder.
 
  Each Warrant entitles the holder upon exercise to acquire one share of Common
Stock, at the exercise price of (i) $8.00, if exercised on or before 5:00 p.m.
New York City time on October 8, 1996 or (ii) $10.00, if exercised after 5:00
p.m. New York City time on October 8, 1996, but on or before 5:00 p.m. New York
City time on October 8, 1998, subject to adjustment. See "Description of the
Warrants." The Warrants may be exercised at any time on or before 5:00 p.m. New
York City time on October 8, 1998 (the "Expiration Time"). The Warrants are
being issued in connection with the settlement of certain lawsuits and the
Company will not receive any proceeds from issuance of the Warrants. Proceeds
to the Company from the exercise of all Warrants, assuming an exercise price
for each Warrant of $8.00 and $10.00 would be $61,600,000 and $77,000,000,
respectively, before deducting expenses payable by the Company. No underwriting
discounts or commissions will be paid in connection with this offering.
   
  The Company does not intend to list the Warrants on any securities exchange
and no assurances can be given that a trading market for the Warrants will
develop or be maintained. The Common Stock is traded on the New York Stock
Exchange and on the Chicago Stock Exchange, the Pacific Stock Exchange and the
Philadelphia Stock Exchange under the symbol "HMT." On October 14, 1994, the
last reported sale price of the Common Stock, as reported on the New York Stock
Exchange Composite Tape, was $10.75 per share. See "Price Range of the Common
Stock and Dividends."     
 
PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE MATTERS SET FORTH UNDER
"RISK FACTORS."
 
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION NOR HAS THE SECURITIES
AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE
ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS

                               PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
 
  The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed
information and financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus.
Unless the context otherwise requires, the term "Company" refers to Host
Marriott Corporation and its subsidiaries and their respective operations.
 
                                  THE COMPANY
 
  The Company is one of the largest owners of lodging properties in the world.
The Company owns over 110 lodging properties that are operated under Marriott
brand names and managed by Marriott International, Inc. ("Marriott
International"), formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company
is the largest owner of hotels operated under Marriott brands. The Company also
holds minority interests in various partnerships that own in the aggregate
nearly 270 additional properties operated by Marriott International. The
Company's properties span several market segments, including full service
(Marriott Hotels, Resorts and Suites), moderately-priced (Courtyard by
Marriott), extended-stay (Residence Inn by Marriott) and economy (Fairfield Inn
by Marriott). These Marriott brands are among the most respected and widely
recognized in the lodging industry.
   
  The Company seeks to grow primarily through opportunistic acquisitions of
full service hotels in the U.S. and abroad. The Company believes that the full
service segment of the market offers opportunities to acquire assets at
attractive multiples of cash flow and at discounts to replacement value,
including under-performing hotels which can be improved under new management.
The Company believes that the full service segment, in particular, has
potential for improved performance as the economy continues to improve and as
business travel continues to increase. During 1994, the Company has acquired
six full service hotels totalling approximately 2,850 rooms in separate
transactions for approximately $236 million. The Company also provided 100%
financing totalling approximately $35 million to an affiliated partnership, in
which the Company owns the sole general partner interest, for the acquisition
of two full service hotels (totalling another 685 rooms). Subsequent to
September 9, 1994, the Company acquired a controlling interest in one 665 room
full service hotel for $52 million through an equity investment and the
assumption of debt. The Company considers all nine properties as owned hotels
for accounting purposes. The Company is also engaged in discussions with
respect to other acquisition opportunities. See "--Recent Developments--
Acquisitions."     
 
  The Company completed the sale of 26 of its Fairfield Inns by Marriott during
the third quarter of 1994 for net proceeds of approximately $114 million. The
Company also sold its 14 senior living facilities which are leased to Marriott
International under long-term leases. The sale, to an unrelated party for $320
million, was completed in stages. The sale of nine of the senior living
communities was completed in the second quarter of 1994 and the sale of the
five remaining senior living communities was completed in the third quarter of
1994. See "--Recent Developments--Dispositions."
 
  The Company is also the leading operator of airport and tollroad food and
merchandise concessions, with facilities in virtually every major commercial
airport in the U.S. The Company operates restaurants, gift shops and related
facilities at over 70 airports, on 14 tollroads (including over 90 travel
plazas) and at more than 40 tourist attractions, stadiums and arenas. Many of
the Company's concessions operate under branded names, including Pizza Hut,
Burger King, Taco Bell, Sbarro's, Dunkin' Donuts, TCBY yogurt, Mrs. Fields
cookies, Nathan's Famous hot dogs and Cheers.
 
                   THE DISTRIBUTION AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
 
  Prior to October 8, 1993, the Company was named "Marriott Corporation." In
addition to conducting the Company's existing businesses of owning lodging
properties (the "Ownership Business") and operating
 
                                       3
<PAGE>
 
restaurants, cafeterias, gift shops and related facilities at airports,
stadiums, arenas and tourist attractions and on highway systems (the
"Host/Travel Plazas Business"), Marriott Corporation engaged in lodging and
senior living services management, timeshare resort development and operation,
food service and facilities management and other contract services businesses
(the "Management Business"). On October 8, 1993, Marriott Corporation made a
special dividend consisting of the distribution (the "Distribution") to holders
of outstanding shares of Common Stock, on a share-for-share basis, of all
outstanding shares of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Marriott International, Inc.
("Marriott International"), which at the time of the Distribution held all of
the assets relating to the Management Business. Marriott International now
conducts the Management Business as a separate publicly-traded company. See
"The Distribution." The Company and Marriott International are parties to
several important ongoing arrangements, including agreements pursuant to which
Marriott International manages or leases the Company's lodging properties and a
$630 million line of credit (the "Revolving Line of Credit") provided by
Marriott International to the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, HMH Holdings,
Inc. ("Holdings") pursuant to a Credit Agreement between Holdings and Marriott
International (the "Credit Agreement"). See "Financing--Credit Agreement." In
connection with the Distribution, the Company consummated an exchange offer
(the "Exchange Offer") pursuant to which holders of approximately $1.2 billion
of its senior notes ("Old Notes") exchanged Old Notes for a combination of (i)
cash, (ii) Common Stock and (iii) new notes ("New Notes") issued by Host
Marriott Hospitality, Inc. ("Hospitality"), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary
of the Company. See "The Exchange Offer and Restructuring." References herein
to "the Distribution and related transactions" include the Exchange Offer.

                          time on October 8, 1998, subject to adjustment.
                          Warrants are not exercisable during any Suspension
                          Period (as described below).
 
No Rights as a          
Stockholder.............  Warrantholders will not be entitled to any assets of
                          the Company or rights as shareholders of the Company,
                          including with respect to voting.
 
No Fractional Shares....  The Company will not issue warrants to purchase
                          fractional shares of Common Stock. As a result, the
                          Warrants to which each Initial Warrantholder is
                          entitled will be rounded downward where the
                          fractional portion of such entitlement, if any,
                          involves less than one-half of a Warrant or upward
                          where the fractional portion of such entitlement, if
                          any, involves one-half or more of a Warrant, subject
                          to the overall limitation on the issuance of
                          Warrants. In the event of certain transactions,
                          described below, the number of shares of Common Stock
                          that may be purchased upon the exercise of each
                          Warrant is subject to adjustment. The Company will
                          not issue fractional shares of Common Stock on the
                          exercise of Warrants otherwise issuable as a result
                          of any of the aforementioned adjustments. If any
                          fraction of a share of Common Stock would be issuable
                          on the exercise of any Warrants (or portion thereof),
                          the Company shall pay to the exercising Warrantholder
                          (in lieu of issuance of such fractional share of
                          Common Stock) an amount of cash equal to the Exercise
                          Price on the date the Warrant is presented for
                          exercise, multiplied by such fraction.
 
Adjustment Provisions...  The exercise price and number of shares of Common
                          Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are
                          subject to adjustment from time to time upon the
                          occurrence of certain events, including (i) a change
                          in the capital stock of the Company (as described
                          more fully herein); (ii) certain distributions by the
                          Company of rights, options or warrants to acquire
                          Common Stock and (iii) certain other pro rata
                          distributions to holders of Common Stock. See
                          "Description of Warrants--Adjustment Provisions."

Registration of Warrant 
Shares..................  The Company has agreed to use its reasonable best
                          efforts to maintain the effectiveness under the
                          Securities Act of the registration statement of which
                          this Prospectus is a part, until the earlier of the
                          Expiration Time or the date on which all Warrants
                          have been exercised, subject to the Company's right
                          to discontinue the effectiveness of such registration
                          statement for such periods as the Company determines
                          are necessary and appropriate (any such period
                          referred to as a "Suspension Period").

                          The Company has also agreed to use its reasonable    
                          best efforts to obtain any required approvals or     
                          registrations under state securities laws for the    
                          issuance of the Common Stock upon exercise of the    
                          Warrants. Under the Warrant Agreement, however,      
                          Warrants may not be exercised by, or shares of Common
                          Stock issued to, any Warrantholder in any state where
                          such exercise would be unlawful.                      
 
Warrants Outstanding....  As a result of this offering, warrants to acquire
                          7,700,000 shares of Common Stock will be outstanding.

                          former employees of the Company, with a weighted
                          average exercise price of $3.97 per share (certain of

                SUMMARY HISTORICAL AND PRO FORMA FINANCIAL DATA
 
  The following table presents (i) summary historical financial data of the
Company for the twenty-four weeks ended June 17, 1994, (ii) summary pro forma
income statement data of the Company for the twenty-four weeks ended June 18,
1993 and (iii) summary historical balance sheet data and pro forma income
statement data of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1993. The
historical financial data provided herein is derived from the consolidated and
condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company included in this
Prospectus and the pro forma financial data provided herein is derived from the
Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income of the Company and the
condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company included in this
Prospectus. During the fourth quarter of 1993, the Company effected the
Distribution, which caused a substantial change in the composition of the
Company's assets, liabilities and operations. Accordingly, the Company's
historical financial data does not fully reflect the financial condition and
results of operations of the Company as it existed subsequent to the
Distribution (see "Selected Historical Financial Data"). The pro forma
financial information set forth below may not necessarily be indicative of the
results that would have been achieved had such transactions been consummated as
of the dates indicated, or that may be achieved in the future. The information
presented below should be read in conjunction with the Host Marriott
Corporation Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 1993, the Host Marriott Corporation Consolidated and
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto and Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
included in this Prospectus. The following information is unaudited except for
the balance sheet data as of December 31, 1993.

(1) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income
    Taxes," was adopted in the first fiscal quarter of 1993. In the second
    fiscal quarter of 1993, the Company changed its accounting method for
    assets held for sale. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements."
(2) The December 31, 1993 debt amount includes $20 million of convertible
    subordinated debt in the form of Liquid Yield Option Notes (LYONs). Long-
    term debt of the Company at June 17, 1994 and December 31, 1993 was $1.7
    billion and $2.1 billion, respectively.
(3) EBITDA, as defined in the New Notes Indenture, consists of the sum of
    consolidated net income (loss), interest expense, income taxes,
    depreciation and amortization and certain other non-cash charges, subject
    to certain other adjustments. EBITDA data is presented because such data is
    used by certain investors to determine the Company's ability to meet debt
    service requirements. The Company considers EBITDA
 
                                       7
<PAGE>
 
    to be an indicative measure of the Company's operating performance due to
    the significance of the Company's long-lived assets. EBITDA measures the
    Company's ability to service debt, fund capital expenditures and expand its
    business; however, such information should not be considered as an
    alternative to net income, operating profit, cash flows from operations, or
    any other operating or liquidity performance measure prescribed by generally
    accepted accounting principles.
(4) The historical information for the twenty-four weeks ended June 17, 1994
    and the pro forma information for the twenty-four weeks ended June 18, 1993
    and for fiscal year 1993 include the effects of the Distribution and
    related transactions. This information does not include the effects of the
    sale of the 26 Fairfield Inns by Marriott and the sale of the 14 senior
    living communities. See "Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Data."
(5) The ratio of earnings to fixed charges is computed by dividing income
    (loss) before taxes, interest expense and other fixed charges by total
    fixed charges, including interest expense, amortization of debt issuance
    costs and the portion of rent expense which represents interest. Earnings
    were inadequate to cover fixed charges by $19 million for the twenty-four
    weeks ended June 17, 1994. The deficiency is largely the result of
    depreciation and amortization of $82 million for the twenty-four weeks
    ended June 17, 1994.

                              RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
 
COMMON STOCK OFFERING
   
  On January 20, 1994, the Company completed the issuance of 20.1 million
shares of common stock for net proceeds of $231 million. HMC Acquisitions, Inc.
("HMC Acquisitions"), a wholly-owned subsidiary, was capitalized with
approximately $210 million of the proceeds from the Common Stock offering. The
amount used to capitalize HMC Acquisitions and any earnings therefrom will be
available for investment on an unrestricted basis under the terms of the
Revolving Line of Credit with Marriott International. HMC Acquisitions is a
guarantor under the Revolving Line of Credit.     
 
ACQUISITIONS
   
  During 1994, the Company has acquired six full service hotels totalling
approximately 2,850 rooms in separate transactions for approximately $236
million. The Company also provided 100% financing totalling approximately $35
million to an affiliated partnership, in which the Company owns the sole
general partner interest, for the acquisition of two full service hotels
(totalling another 685 rooms). Subsequent to September 9, 1994, the Company
acquired a controlling interest in one 665 room full service hotel for $52
million through an equity investment and the assumption of debt. The Company
considers all nine properties as owned hotels for accounting purposes.     
 
DISPOSITIONS
 
  During the first quarter of 1994, the Company signed an agreement to sell its
14 senior living communities to an unrelated third party for $320 million,
which approximates the communities' carrying value. The sale of nine of the
communities was completed in the second quarter of 1994 and the sale of the
five remaining communities was completed in the third quarter of 1994.
   
  In the third quarter of 1994, the Company completed the sale of 26 of its
Fairfield Inns by Marriott to an unrelated third party. The net proceeds from
the sale of such hotels were approximately $114 million, which exceeded the
carrying value of the hotels by approximately $12 million. Approximately $27
million of the proceeds was payable in the form of a note from the purchaser.
The gain on the sale of these hotels will be deferred.     
 
  In June 1994, the Company transferred its rights under an unprofitable
concessions contract to a third party. In connection with this decision to
discontinue servicing the contract, the Company wrote off related assets of
approximately $8 million in the second quarter of 1994. The Company also
established a reserve of approximately $4 million for amounts which are to be
paid to the third party transferee over the next six years.
 
NEW YORK MARRIOTT MARQUIS
 
  As of December 31, 1993, the Company owned a 50% partnership interest in
Times Square Hotel Company ("TSHCO"), the owner of the New York Marriott
Marquis, and held security interests in an additional 39% of the partnership
interests as collateral for loans made to certain partners. These partners
defaulted on their loans and in the first quarter of 1994, the Company
foreclosed on a 28.68% partnership interest and completed the transfer of an
additional 7.32% partnership interest in TSHCO in full satisfaction of the
loans. As a result, the Company now holds an 86% partnership interest in TSHCO,
which is consolidated in the Company's financial statements. See "Certain
Transactions--New York Marriott Marquis."
 
  In the second quarter of 1994, in a lawsuit filed by the general contractor
against the parent corporation of the structural steel contractor for the
construction of the New York Marriott Marquis, the jury entered a verdict in
favor of the general contractor. The award, which is subject to appeal, is
approximately $26 million
 
                                       9
<PAGE>
 
plus interest thereon from September 1985. Through agreement with its TSHCO
partners and the general contractor of the hotel, the Company has been
advancing to TSHCO substantially all costs of litigation and is entitled to
virtually the entire amount of any court award in this lawsuit, even though the
suit was brought in the name of the general contractor of the hotel. The
Company has not recognized any amount of the jury award but, if the award is
upheld upon any appeal, will utilize the amount of the award to reduce the
carrying value of the property on the Company's financial statements to the
extent that costs were previously capitalized.
 
BOND REDEMPTIONS AND REPURCHASES
 
  Based on Cumulative Available Net Proceeds from Qualifying Asset Sales (as
defined in the New Notes Indenture) of approximately $183 million through June
17, 1994, Hospitality redeemed or repurchased approximately $137 million of New
Notes in the third quarter of 1994. Based on Cumulative Available Net Proceeds
from Qualifying Asset Sales of approximately $228 million received in the third
quarter of 1994, Hospitality will initiate the process for redemption of $114
million of New Notes and initiate an offer to repurchase up to an additional
$57 million of New Notes during the fourth quarter of 1994.
 
TSHCO REFINANCING
 
  In August 1994, the TSHCO first mortgage loan was extended for five years
from its original maturity of December 1993. In connection with the extension,
a $10 million principal payment was made on the loan. The current principal
balance of the loan of $336 million is scheduled to mature as follows: $5
million in each of 1994 through 1997, and $316 million in 1998.
   
  Interest on $165 million of the loan is fixed at 8.4% and interest on the
remaining portion of the loan is based on LIBOR plus 150 basis points. All cash
flow in excess of annual minimum principal amortization will be applied as
additional amortization until the principal amount of the loan is paid down to
$300 million. Once the principal amount of the loan is paid down to $300
million, 75% of future cash flow in excess of annual minimum amortization
requirements ranging up to $9 million per year will be applied to further
principal amortization and the remaining 25% will be available for other
obligations of TSHCO. The Company provided a $10 million debt service guarantee
of principal and interest on the loan.

                                  RISK FACTORS
 
  In addition to the other information contained in this Prospectus,
prospective investors should consider carefully the following factors before
purchasing the securities offered hereby.
 
SUBSTANTIAL LEVERAGE; RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS
 
  The Company has substantial indebtedness. As of June 17, 1994, the Company
had consolidated debt of $2.4 billion and total shareholders' equity of $729
million. The Ownership Business and the Host/Travel Plazas Business are capital
intensive, and the Company will have significant capital requirements in the
future. The Company's leverage could affect its ability to obtain financing in
the future or to undertake refinancings on terms and subject to conditions
deemed acceptable by the Company.
 
  Most of the business of the Company's Real Estate and Operating Groups (each
as defined herein) is conducted by subsidiaries of Hospitality (a second-tier
subsidiary of the Company). As of June 17, 1994, Hospitality had approximately
$1.2 billion in aggregate principal amount of New Notes outstanding, which are
secured by a pledge of the stock of, and guaranteed by, Hospitality and certain
of its subsidiaries. The indenture governing these notes contains covenants
that, among other things, (i) limit the ability of Hospitality to pay dividends
and make other distributions and restricted payments, (ii) limit the ability of
Hospitality and its subsidiaries to incur additional debt, (iii) limit the
ability of Hospitality and its subsidiaries to create additional liens on their
respective assets, (iv) limit the ability of the subsidiaries of Hospitality to
incur debt and issue preferred stock, (v) limit the ability of Hospitality and
its subsidiaries to engage in certain transactions with related parties, (vi)
limit the ability of each subsidiary of Hospitality to enter into agreements
which restrict such subsidiary in paying dividends or making certain other
payments and (vii) limit the activities and businesses of Holdings. See
"Financing--New Notes" and "The Exchange Offer and Restructuring." In addition,
the Credit Agreement with Marriott International imposes certain restrictions
on the ability of the Company and certain other subsidiaries to incur
additional debt, impose liens or mortgages on their properties (other than
various types of liens arising in the ordinary course of business), extend new
guarantees (other than replacement guarantees), pay dividends, repurchase their
common stock, make investments and incur capital expenditures. The above
restrictions may limit the Company's ability to secure additional financing,
and may prevent the Company from engaging in transactions that might otherwise
be beneficial to the Company. See "Financing--Credit Agreement."
 
PENDING LITIGATION
 
  Between October 9, 1992 and approximately January 4, 1993, following the
announcement of the Distribution, ten plaintiffs who were holders or former
holders of Old Notes (the "Class Action Plaintiffs") filed lawsuits against the
Company purportedly brought on behalf of classes of holders and purchasers of
Old Notes (the "Class Action Lawsuits"). The Class Action Lawsuits were
consolidated under the caption United Apple Sales Incorporated Profit Sharing
Trust u/a DTD 8/1/71, et al. v. Marriott Corp. et al. in the United States
District Court for the District of Maryland. The Class Action Lawsuits asserted
various claims related to the Distribution and related disclosures.
   
  On October 29, 1992, a second group of plaintiffs (the "PPM Group")
purporting to hold approximately $120 million of principal amount of Old Notes
filed a lawsuit against the Company (the "PPM Lawsuit") in the United States
District Court for the District of Maryland. The PPM lawsuit claims that the
sale by the Company of certain series of its Old Notes violated the federal
securities laws and similar state laws. The PPM Group alleged that it had
incurred damages of approximately $30 million.     
 
  On or about March 25, 1993, the State Board of Administration of Florida,
purporting to hold approximately $7.5 million of principal amount of Old Notes,
filed an additional lawsuit asserting claims relating to the Distribution (the
"Florida Lawsuit"), purportedly on behalf of certain classes of holders of Old
Notes.
 
                                       11
<PAGE>
 
   
  The Company reached an agreement to settle the Class Action Lawsuits (the
"Class Action Settlement"), which settlement was approved by the Court on
September 10, 1993. The Class Action Settlement disposes of all legal claims
challenging the Distribution. Disclosure claims by certain holders and former
holders of Old Notes (principally members of the PPM Group) who had "opted out"
of the Class Action Settlement were not resolved as part of the Class Action
Settlement. As part of the Class Action Settlement, the Company effected the
Exchange Offer, paid certain legal fees and expenses of the Class Action
Plaintiffs and agreed to issue the Warrants. The Florida Lawsuit was also
settled on April 28, 1994. Under the terms of this settlement, the Company
agreed to repurchase at their par value the Old Notes held by the State Board
of Administration of Florida.     
   
  The PPM Group continues to litigate its claims. On December 17, 1993, the
Company filed a motion for summary judgment seeking judgment in favor of the
defendants in the PPM Lawsuit. The PPM Group also filed a motion for summary
judgment with respect to the Company's counterclaim that some of the PPM Group
plaintiffs tortiously interfered with the Company's contractual relationship
with some of its financial advisors. On May 23, 1994, the Court issued an order
granting in part and denying in part the Company's motion for summary judgment
on the remaining claims of the PPM Group. Specifically, the Court dismissed
claims brought by 13 of the 16 plaintiffs comprising the PPM Group for alleged
violations of Section 11 and Section 12(2) of the Securities Act. The Court
denied the Company's motion for summary judgment on the PPM Group's claims for
violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and for
common law fraud, as well as for the Section 11 and Section 12(2) claims
brought by three of the plaintiffs in the PPM Group. In addition, the Court
granted the PPM Group's motion for summary judgment on the Company's
counterclaim. The Company has reached a settlement of all claims with 5 of the
16 plaintiffs comprising the PPM Group whereby the Company has agreed to pay
certain legal expenses incurred by these plaintiffs. Under the terms of the
settlement, these plaintiffs may, in certain circumstances, receive additional
amounts based on a percentage of any judgment against, or settlement with, the
Company obtained by the remaining 11 plaintiffs comprising the PPM Group. Trial
for this lawsuit commenced on September 26, 1994. During the trial, the claims
brought by 3 of the 16 plaintiffs alleging violation of Section 11 of the
Securities Act, which were not dismissed pursuant to the Court's order dated
May 23, 1994, were voluntarily dismissed by the plaintiffs. Additionally, the
Court has directed a verdict in favor of the Company on claims brought by all
plaintiffs alleging common law fraud (under which such plaintiffs had requested
punitive damages).     
 
  The Company believes the remaining claims of the PPM Group are without merit
and that the litigation will not have a material effect on the financial
condition or results of operations of the Company. Nevertheless, there can be
no certainty as to the ultimate outcome of such litigation.
 
POTENTIAL CONFLICTS WITH MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL
 
  The interests of the Company and Marriott International may potentially
conflict due to the ongoing relationships between the companies. In addition,
the Company and Marriott International share two common directors--J.W.
Marriott, Jr. serves as Chairman of the Board of Directors and President of
Marriott International and also serves as a director of the Company, and
Richard E. Marriott serves as Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company
and also serves as a director of Marriott International. Messrs. J.W. Marriott,
Jr. and Richard E. Marriott, as well as certain other officers and directors of
Marriott International and the Company, also own shares (and/or options or
other rights to acquire shares) in both companies. With respect to the various
contractual arrangements between the two companies, the potential exists for
disagreement as to the quality of services provided by Marriott International
and as to contract compliance. Additionally, the possible desire of the
Company, from time-to-time, to finance, refinance or effect a sale of any of
the properties managed by Marriott International may, depending upon the
structure of such transactions, result in a need to modify the management
agreement with Marriott International with respect to such property. Any such
modification proposed by the Company may not be acceptable to Marriott
International, and the lack of consent from Marriott International could
adversely affect the Company's ability to consummate such financing or sale. In
addition, certain situations could arise where actions taken by Marriott
International in its capacity as manager of competing lodging properties would
not necessarily be in the best interests of the Company. Nevertheless, the
Company believes that there is sufficient mutuality of interest between the
Company and Marriott International to result in a mutually productive
relationship.
 
                                       12
<PAGE>
 
Moreover, appropriate policies and procedures are followed by the Board of
Directors of each of the companies to limit the involvement of Messrs. J.W.
Marriott, Jr. and Richard E. Marriott (and, if appropriate, other officers and
directors of such companies) in conflict situations, including requiring them
to abstain from voting as directors of either the Company or Marriott
International (or as directors of any of their subsidiaries) on certain matters
which present a conflict between the companies. See "Relationship Between the
Company and Marriott International."
 
DIVIDEND POLICY
   
  The Company intends to retain future earnings, if any, for use in its
business and does not currently anticipate paying dividends on the Common
Stock. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains restrictions on the payment
of dividends on the Common Stock. See "Dividend Policy" and "Financing." The
Company has also stated its intention to pay dividends on its outstanding
Convertible Preferred Stock only to the extent of earnings, and the Company has
not declared a dividend on the Convertible Preferred Stock for the last five
quarterly dividend periods. If six quarterly dividend payments are in arrears,
the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock will become entitled to elect
two directors of the Company. There are approximately 282,000 depositary
shares, each representing 1/1000th of a share of Convertible Preferred Stock,
that remain outstanding as of June 17, 1994 and the stated quarterly dividend
on these shares is approximately $300,000. The Company could recommence payment
of quarterly dividends in order to avoid the election of additional directors.
In addition, commencing January 15, 1996, the outstanding Convertible Preferred
Stock may be redeemed at an aggregate redemption price of approximately $15
million plus accrued and unpaid dividends.     
 
EFFECTS OF ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND CYCLICALITY
 
  The Company's ownership of real property, including hotels, and undeveloped
land parcels, is substantial. Real estate values are sensitive to changes in
local market and economic conditions and to fluctuations in the economy as a
whole. There can be no assurance that downturns or prolonged adverse conditions
in real estate or capital markets or the economy as a whole will not have a
material adverse impact on the Company.
 
ANTITAKEOVER PROVISIONS
 
  The Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws each contain
provisions that will make difficult an acquisition of control of the Company by
means of a tender offer, open market purchases, proxy fight, or otherwise, that
is not approved by the Board of Directors. Provisions that may have an
antitakeover effect include (i) a staggered board of directors with three
separate classes, (ii) a super-majority vote requirement for removal or filling
of vacancies on the Board of Directors and for amendment to the Company's
Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, (iii) limitations on
shareholder action by written consent and (iv) super-majority voting
requirements for approval of mergers and other business combinations involving
the Company and interested shareholders. In addition, the Company is subject to
Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law requiring super-majority
approval for certain business combinations. The Company has also adopted a
shareholder rights plan which may discourage or delay a change in control of
the Company. Finally, the Company has granted Marriott International, for a
period of ten years following the Distribution, the right to purchase up to 20%
of each class of the then outstanding voting stock of the Company at the fair
market value thereof upon the occurrence of certain specified events, generally
involving changes in control of the Company (the "Marriott International
Purchase Right"). The Marriott International Purchase Right may have certain
antitakeover effects with respect to the Company. See "Purposes and
Antitakeover Effects of Certain Provisions of the Company Certificate and
Bylaws and the Marriott International Purchase Right" and "Description of
Capital Stock--Rights and Junior Preferred Stock."
 
LACK OF PUBLIC MARKET FOR THE WARRANTS
 
  The Warrants have no established trading market and no assurance can be given
that any such market will develop or, if one develops, that it will be
sustained. The Company does not intend to apply to list the Warrants on any
stock exchange. If a market for the Warrants does not develop, Warrantholders
may be unable to sell the Warrants for an extended period of time, if at all.

                                  THE COMPANY
 
  The Company is one of the largest owners of lodging properties in the world.
The Company owns over 110 lodging properties that are operated under Marriott
brand names and managed by Marriott International, formerly a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company. The Company is the largest owner of hotels operated
under Marriott brands. The Company also holds minority interests in various
partnerships that own in the aggregate nearly 270 additional properties
operated by Marriott International. The Company's properties span several
market segments, including full service (Marriott Hotels, Resorts and Suites),
moderate-priced (Courtyard by Marriott), extended-stay (Residence Inn by
Marriott) and economy (Fairfield Inn by Marriott). These Marriott brands are
among the most respected and widely recognized in the lodging industry.
   
  The Company seeks to grow primarily through opportunistic acquisitions of
full service hotels in the U.S. and abroad. The Company believes that the full
service segment of the market offers numerous opportunities to acquire assets
at attractive multiples of cash flow and at discounts to replacement value,
including under-performing hotels which can be improved under new management.
The Company believes that the full service segment, in particular, has
potential for improved performance as the economy continues to improve and as
business travel continues to increase. During 1994, the Company has acquired
six full service hotels totalling approximately 2,850 rooms in separate
transactions for approximately $236 million. The Company also provided 100%
financing totalling approximately $35 million to an affiliated partnership, in
which the Company owns the sole general partner interest, for the acquisition
of two full service hotels (totalling another 685 rooms). Subsequent to
September 9, 1994, the Company acquired a controlling interest in one 665 room
full service hotel for $52 million through an equity investment and the
assumption of debt. The Company considers all nine properties as owned hotels
for accounting purposes. The Company is also engaged in discussions with
respect to other acquisition opportunities. See "Prospectus Summary--Recent
Developments--Acquisitions."     
   
  In the third quarter of 1994, the Company completed the sale of 26 of its
Fairfield Inns by Marriott. The Company also sold its 14 senior living
facilities which are leased to Marriott International under long-term leases.
The sale, to an unrelated party for $320 million, was completed in stages. The
sale of nine of the senior living communities was completed in the second
quarter of 1994 and the sale of the five remaining senior living communities
was completed in the third quarter of 1994. See "Prospectus Summary--Recent
Developments--Dispositions."     
 
  The Company is also the leading operator of airport and tollroad food and
merchandise concessions, with facilities in virtually every major commercial
airport in the U.S. The Company operates restaurants, gift shops and related
facilities at over 70 airports, on 14 tollroads (including over 90 travel
plazas) and at more than 40 tourist attractions, stadiums and arenas. Many of
the Company's concessions operate under branded names, including Pizza Hut,
Burger King, Taco Bell, Sbarro's, Dunkin' Donuts, TCBY yogurt, Mrs. Fields
cookies, Nathan's Famous hot dogs and Cheers.
 
  The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 10400 Fernwood
Road, Bethesda, Maryland, 20817, and its telephone number is (301) 380-9000.
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in 1929.
 
                                USE OF PROCEEDS
 
  The Warrants are being issued as part of the Class Action Settlement, and the
Company will not receive any proceeds from such issuance. The net proceeds to
be received by the Company from the sale of 7,700,000 shares of Common Stock
upon the exercise of the Warrants would be approximately $61.6 million,
assuming the exercise of all Warrants at an exercise price of $8.00 per share
and approximately $77 million, assuming the exercise of all Warrants at an
exercise price of $10.00 per share, before deducting expenses payable by the
Company. Any net proceeds are expected to be used for general corporate
purposes.

                                DIVIDEND POLICY
   
  The Company intends to retain future earnings, if any, for use in its
business and does not currently anticipate paying any dividends on the Common
Stock. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains restrictions on the payment
of dividends on the Common Stock and the Company's subsidiaries are subject to
certain agreements that limit their ability to pay dividends to the Company.
See "Financing." The Company has also stated its intention to pay dividends on
its outstanding Convertible Preferred Stock only to the extent of earnings, and
the Company has not declared a dividend on the Convertible Preferred Stock for
the last five quarterly dividend periods. If six quarterly dividend payments
are in arrears, the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock will become
entitled to elect two directors of the Company. There are approximately 282,000
depositary shares, each representing 1/1000th of a share of Convertible
Preferred Stock, that remain outstanding as of June 17, 1994, and the stated
quarterly dividend on these shares is approximately $300,000. The Company could
recommence payment of quarterly dividends in order to avoid the election of
additional directors. In addition, commencing January 15, 1996, the outstanding
Convertible Preferred Stock may be redeemed at an aggregate redemption price of
approximately $15 million plus accrued and unpaid dividends.     
 
                         CAPITALIZATION OF THE COMPANY
 
  The following table sets forth the capitalization of the Company at June 17,
1994 and the capitalization of the Company as adjusted to give effect to the
exercise of all Warrants, as if all such exercises had occurred on June 17,
1994. The capitalization of the Company should be read in conjunction with the
Company's Consolidated and Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and
Notes thereto each contained elsewhere in this Prospectus.

(1) The Real Estate Group, the majority of which was formerly classified in the
    "Lodging" segment, is comprised of the Company's existing business of
    owning lodging properties and senior living facilities, its partnership
    investments and undeveloped land parcels. The Operating Group, formerly
    included as part of the "Contract Services" segment, consists of the food,
    beverage and merchandise operations at airports, on tollroads and at
    tourist attractions, stadiums and arenas, as well as restaurant operations.
    The new segments reflect the Company's current business segments and
    operating environment.
(2) Certain revenues, costs and expenses have been reclassified to conform to
    the Company's new income statement presentation. These include
    reclassifying the senior living community operations from the Operating
    Group to the Real Estate Group, reclassifying the Company's equity in net
    losses of affiliates from corporate expenses to operating costs of the Real
    Estate Group, reclassifying the net gains/losses on certain property
    transactions from Real Estate Group operating cost and corporate expenses
    to Real Estate Group revenue, and netting the revenue and costs related to
    the sale of condominium units to the net gain on the sale of the units,
    which is included in Real Estate Group revenues.
(3) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income
    Taxes," was adopted in the first fiscal quarter of 1993. ln the second
    quarter of 1993, the Company changed its accounting method for assets held
    for sale. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements."
(4) The Company recognized a $5 million extraordinary loss (net of taxes) on
    the completion of the Exchange Offer. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial
    Statements."

transactions have had a significant effect on the assets, liabilities and
business operations of the Company. Accordingly, and as discussed more fully
below, a comparison of the results of operations of the Company on a historical
basis would not reflect the financial resources and operations of the Company
as they now exist. As a result, the Company's results of operations for the
twenty-four weeks ended June 17, 1994 (which fully reflect the Distribution and
the related transactions) are compared with pro forma results of operations for
the twenty-four weeks ended June 18, 1993, and the comparison of the Company's
results of operations for fiscal years 1993 and 1992 is presented on a pro
forma basis.
 
  As a result of the Distribution and its effect on the structure of the
Company, the Company has altered its financial statement presentation for
periods beginning on January 1, 1994 to better reflect the Company's current
business segments and operating environment. To facilitate comparison of the
Company's results of operations, the operating results for the twenty-four
weeks ended June 18, 1993 and for fiscal years 1993 and 1992 have been
reformatted to reflect the Company's current business segments and operating
environment.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
 Twenty-Four Weeks Ended June 17, 1994 Compared to Pro Forma Twenty-Four Weeks
Ended June 18, 1993 (reflecting the Distribution and related transactions)
 
  As noted above, the discussion of the Company's results of operations
presented herein compares the historical results for the twenty-four weeks
ended June 17, 1994 with pro forma results for the twenty-four weeks ended June
18, 1993. Management believes that, due to the substantial differences in
comparability between the Company's 1994 and 1993 historical results, the use
of pro forma results for 1993 provides a more meaningful basis for comparison
because the pro forma results assume that the Distribution and related
transactions occurred at the beginning of 1993 and include only the operations
retained by the Company.
 
  The Company reported 1994 year-to-date revenues of $660 million, a $63
million, or 11%, improvement over pro forma 1993 year-to-date results. Year-to-
date operating profit increased $18 million, or 31%, to $77 million due to the
strong performance of the Real Estate Group. The Real Estate Group posted a
significant increase in year-to-date operating profit--up $26 million over pro
forma 1993 year-to-date results. This increase was partially offset by an $8
million decrease in operating profit for the Operating Group due to $12 million
of termination expenses recorded for the transfer of the Company's rights under
an unprofitable concessions contract to a third party, partially offset by an
$8 million reduction in the general liability and workers' compensation
insurance reserves due to favorable claims experience.
 
  The Real Estate Group, consisting of the Ownership and Development Business,
posted a 23% increase in year-to-date revenues and a 58% increase in year-to-
date operating profit over 1993 year-to-date pro forma results. The operating
profit increase is due primarily to improved lodging results, coupled with a
reduction in equity losses on the Company's partnership investments, mainly due
to the consolidation of the partnership owning the New York Marriott Marquis
Hotel (TSHCO) on December 31, 1993. During the 1994 first quarter, the Company
increased its ownership interest in TSHCO to 86%.
 
  Year-to-date hotel revenues for the Real Estate Group increased $30 million
over pro forma 1993 amounts, as all four of the Company's lodging concepts
reported growth in room revenues generated per available room ("REVPAR") for
comparable units. Hotel revenues reflect the addition of three full-service
hotels: the New York Marriott Marquis; the Ft. Lauderdale Marina Marriott; and
the Washingtonian Marriott in Gaithersburg, Maryland, which are included in the
1994 operating results. These properties contributed $28 million in hotel
revenues and $7 million of hotel operating profit during 1994. Also, 1993 pro
forma results include $8 million of hotel revenues and $4 million in hotel
operating profit relating to
 
                                       22
<PAGE>
 
eleven Residence Inn properties that were sold in late 1993. Excluding the
impact of these noncomparable items, hotel revenues increased $10 million (9%)
and operating profit increased $11 million (24%) over pro forma 1993 levels.
 
  The Company's full service Marriott Hotels, Resorts and Suites posted a 4%
increase in REVPAR for comparable units. Average occupancy climbed two
percentage points for comparable units while average room rates increased 2%.
Overall operating results for most full-service properties were improved or
comparable to 1993 results with the exception of the Newport Beach, California
property which experienced reduced profits due to the southern California
earthquake in late 1993 and the Miami Airport, Florida property which achieved
very high occupancy levels in early 1993 resulting from Hurricane Andrew in
1992.
 
  The Company's moderate-priced Courtyard hotels reported significant increases
in operating profit in 1994. Courtyard's REVPAR increased 7% over 1993 fueled
by a 6% increase in average room rates and a one percentage point increase in
average occupancy.
 
  The Company's extended-stay Residence Inns reported an 8% increase in REVPAR
due primarily to an increase in average room rate for comparable units of 6%,
combined with a one percentage point increase in average occupancy.
 
  The Company's economy lodging Fairfield Inns generated a 4% increase in
REVPAR, with the average room rate up 4%, while average occupancy decreased
slightly. In the third quarter of 1994, the Company sold 26 of its Fairfield
Inns. See "Prospectus Summary--Recent Developments--Dispositions" and "Pro
Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Data."
 
  Senior living communities' revenues consist of rentals earned under the lease
agreements with Marriott International. During the first quarter of 1994, the
Company executed an agreement to sell all 14 of its senior living communities
to an unrelated party for $320 million, which approximates the communities'
carrying value. The sale of nine of the senior living communities was completed
in the second quarter of 1994 and the sale of the five remaining senior living
communities was completed in the third quarter of 1994. See "Prospectus
Summary--Recent Developments--Dispositions" and "Pro Forma Condensed
Consolidated Financial Data."
 
  The Operating Group, consisting of the Host/Travel Plazas Business, generated
a 7%, or $32 million increase to $496 million in year-to-date revenues over
1993 performance. Airport revenues increased $19 million, benefiting from
enplanement growth and severe winter weather conditions, which boosted sales as
the result of flight delays. Travel Plazas and other Operating Group revenues
posted modest increases in sales over last year's performance. These increases
are primarily attributed to the completion of the remaining New York Thruway
plazas and increased attendance at the Dallas Reunion Arena. Increased profits
driven by sales growth were primarily offset by contractual rent increases.
 
  During the second quarter of 1994, due to favorable claims experience for the
general liability and workers' compensation self-insurance programs, the
Company reduced its actuarially estimated reserves by $8 million, which is
reflected as a reduction in the Operating Group's operating costs and expenses.
 
  Interest expense increased by 8% to $95 million in 1994 as a result of
additional expense associated with the consolidation of TSHCO debt.
 
  Under the terms of the New Notes Indenture, Hospitality is obligated to use
50% of the net proceeds of the senior living communities and Fairfield Inn
asset sales to redeem New Notes and must offer to utilize an additional 25% of
the net proceeds to make additional New Note repurchases. For a discussion of
the Company's redemptions and repurchases of New Notes, see "Financing--New
Notes." The remaining net proceeds of the asset sales are expected to be used
primarily for future acquisitions of lodging properties or related assets, and
to the extent not so used will be used for general corporate purposes.

 1993 Compared to 1992
 
  Because of the changes to the Company's assets, liabilities and business
operations resulting from completion of the Distribution and the related
transactions on October 8, 1993, the December 31, 1993 consolidated financial
statements differ substantially compared to the 1992 consolidated financial
statements. In particular, the most significant differences relate to the
following:
 
  .  The 1992 and 1991 consolidated statements of operations include
     revenues, operating costs and expenses, corporate expenses, interest
     expense and interest income of operations of Marriott International,
     which were distributed to the Company's shareholders on October 8, 1993.
     In the 1993 consolidated statement of operations, such operations
     through the Distribution Date are combined and included as "Profit from
     operations distributed to Marriott International." See Note 2 to the
     consolidated financial statements.
 
  .  As described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the
     Company included the sales and operating expenses of its owned hotels in
     lodging revenues and lodging operating costs and expenses, respectively,
     prior to the Distribution. Subsequent to the Distribution, lodging
     revenues represent house profit from these properties. House profit
     represents hotel operating results less property level expenses
     excluding depreciation, real and personal property taxes, ground rent,
     insurance and management fees which are classified as operating costs
     and expenses.
 
  Due to these substantial differences in comparability between the Company's
historical operating results for 1993 versus 1992, management believes that it
is more meaningful and relevant in understanding the present and ongoing
Company operations to compare the Company's pro forma operating results for
1993 and 1992. Accordingly, the Company's pro forma consolidated statements of
operations for fiscal 1993 and 1992 are presented below. These pro forma
consolidated statements of operations were prepared as if the Distribution,
Exchange Offer, Restructuring and the implementation of the various related
agreements entered into with Marriott International, including the lodging
management and senior living community leases, occurred at the beginning of
each period and include only the operations of the businesses retained by the
Company, and exclude, among other items, certain non-recurring costs. These
non-recurring costs include (i) costs of the Distribution of $13 million in
1993 and $21 million in 1992, (ii) an extraordinary loss related to the
completion of the Exchange Offer of $5 million, net-of-tax, (iii) the
cumulative effect of a change in accounting for income taxes ($30 million
credit) adopted in the first quarter of 1993 and (iv) the cumulative effect of
a change in accounting for assets held for sale ($32 million after-tax charge)
adopted in the second quarter of 1993. See the notes to the consolidated
financial statements for discussion of the Distribution, Exchange Offer,
Restructuring and the related transactions and agreements.
 
  The following pro forma consolidated statements of income for 1993 and 1992
and the management's discussion and analysis related thereto are presented in
the format that the Company adopted as of January 1, 1994 and reflect the
impact of the Distribution and related transactions. This format breaks down
the Company's operations into the Real Estate Group, consisting of the results
of all of the Company's owned hotel properties and senior living communities as
well as its partnership investments and investments in certain other financial
assets, and the Operating Group, consisting of the Host/Travel Plazas Business
and certain discontinued restaurant operations. These pro forma consolidated
statements of operations do not purport to be indicative of results which may
occur in the future.

(1) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income
    Taxes" was adopted in the first fiscal quarter of 1993. In the second
    quarter of 1993, the Company changed its accounting method for assets held
    for sale. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements."
(2) The Company recognized a $5 million extraordinary loss (net-of-tax) on the
    completion of the Exchange Offer. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial
    Statements."
   
(3) Based on weighted average common shares of Marriott Corporation adjusted to
    reflect (i) the conversion of Marriott Corporation preferred stock into
    10.6 million shares of common stock prior to the Distribution, and (ii) the

    prior to the Distribution, in connection with the refinancing of certain of
    its senior debt.     
 
                                       25

  The Company reported a pro forma loss before extraordinary item and
accounting changes in 1993 of $60 million, versus the 1992 pro forma loss of
$37 million. Comparisons of the pro forma 1993 results to the preceding year
were affected by the following items:
 
  .  The $11 million charge recorded in 1993 to write down the carrying value
     of Fairfield Inns held as available for sale.
 
  .  The restructuring costs of $7 million recorded in 1993 as a result of
     the reorganization of the Operating Group.
 
  .  The effect on the income tax provision in 1993 resulting from the
     increase in corporate income tax rates due to tax legislation.
 
  Excluding the impact of these items, the loss before extraordinary item and
accounting changes was relatively unchanged between years.
 
  Hotel revenues represent house profit which is hotel operating results less
property-level expenses, excluding depreciation, property taxes, ground rent
expense, insurance and management fees. As described in Note 1 to the
consolidated financial statements, subsequent to the Distribution, the Company
does not report the gross operations of the individual hotels but, rather, the
net results which are distributed to the Company in accordance with the terms
of the management agreements. Revenues and operating costs and expenses have
been reclassified in the pro forma operating data to reflect those operations
consistently with the new policy. Pro forma hotel revenues increased 5% from
$239 million in 1992 to $251 million in 1993 due to (i) the combined increase
in room revenues generated per available room (REVPAR) for comparable
properties of approximately 7% and (ii) higher house profit margins offset by
the sale of seven properties in mid-1992.
 
  Hotel operating profits increased 7% over 1992 to $94 million as a result of
increased revenues, as discussed above, offset by higher ground rent expense
and management fees tied to improved property performance. Excluding the impact
of the Fairfield Inn write-down in 1993, the sale of seven full service hotels
and 13 Courtyard hotels in 1992 and higher deferred gain amortization in 1992,
the Real Estate Group's operating profit increased 29% to $90 million in 1993.
 
  Senior living community revenues consist of rentals earned under the lease
agreements with Marriott International. The terms of the leases call for annual
payments of $28 million (with all 14 properties fully operational) plus a
percentage of certain annual revenues from operation of the facilities in
excess of $72 million on a combined basis. The increase in pro forma revenues
is due to the opening of additional properties through 1993 and the
corresponding commencement of the rental payments for such properties. On March
17, 1994, the Company executed an agreement to sell all of its senior living
communities to an unrelated party for $320 million, which approximates the
communities' carrying value. The sale of nine of the senior living communities
was completed in the second quarter of 1994 and the sale of the remaining five
senior living communities was completed in the third quarter of 1994. See
"Prospectus Summary--Recent Developments--Dispositions."
 
  Operating profits for senior living communities represent rentals less
depreciation expense. The increase in operating profits for these senior living
communities in 1993 is in direct relation to their increase in revenues.
 
  Net gains (losses) on property transactions consists of gains and losses on
the sale of real estate or financial assets. Included, as well, are writedowns
in connection with other property-related transactions. Such transactions are
included in lodging operating profit in the Company's historical consolidated
financial statements with respect to owned hotel transactions and corporate
expenses with respect to partnership and other financial asset transactions. In
1993, profits were earned from the sales of the Company's interests in
 
                                       26
<PAGE>
 
the Boston Copley Marriott and The Jefferson senior living community
condominium units and were reduced by the charge recorded to write down the
carrying value of certain Fairfield Inns held as available for sale and by
certain partnership transactions. The amount of net gain on property
transactions in 1992 primarily consisted of gains on the sales of condominium
units at The Jefferson.
 
  Included in Other Expenses for the Real Estate Group are the net equity in
earnings for the Company's equity investments in partnerships and the carrying
costs of the Company's undeveloped land parcels. Such expenses are included in
Corporate expenses in the Company's historical consolidated financial
statements. There was an increase in these expenses to $25 million in 1993,
principally from an increase in the proportion of losses recorded for the New
York Marriott Marquis partnership.
 
  Revenues for the Operating Group grew by 16% in 1993 to $1,081 million due to
the acquisition of 32 Dobbs contracts in September 1992. Operating profit for
the Operating Group was down 12% from the prior year to $43 million excluding
restructuring charges of $7 million, despite higher revenues. This decline was
due to (i) higher employee benefit costs, (ii) reduced operating efficiencies
as locally and minority-owned business participation reduced market share and
(iii) higher rents and depreciation expense for certain contracts. Depreciation
increased $13 million (24%) on higher asset balances, principally from the
Dobbs contract acquisitions.
 
  During the fourth quarter of 1993, the Company recorded a $7 million pre-tax
restructuring charge for the costs of redesigning its operating structure. Such
costs represent $4 million of severance and relocation payments, a $2.5 million
write off of development costs for a data processing system no longer required
under the new organization structure and $500,000 of other charges. Most of
these expenditures were incurred in the first quarter of 1994. The Company
expects to realize improved operating profits of approximately $2 million
annually as a result of the restructuring.
 
  Corporate expenses include executive management and administrative costs. On
a pro forma basis, these costs were up $4 million in 1993 to $28 million,
principally due to increased minority interest expense and higher
administrative costs.
 
  Interest expense decreased by 4% to $190 million in 1993 due to the paydown
in debt from the proceeds of hotel sales in 1992 and other asset sales
occurring in late 1993. Declining interest rates on variable rate debt also had
a favorable impact on interest expense.
 
 1992 Compared to 1991
 
  The following discussion represents an analysis of the comparative operating
results of the Company for 1992 versus 1991 on an historical basis, including
the operations of Marriott International for both periods as these operations
were not distributed to shareholders until October 8, 1993.
 
  Net Income totaled $85 million in 1992, compared to $82 million in 1991, on a
5% increase in sales. The Company's earnings per common share were $.64, down
from $.80 in 1991. Comparisons of 1992 earnings to the preceding year were
affected by several noncomparable items, including operating results and
financing costs for recently opened lodging and senior living services
properties, reduced gain amortization from earlier asset sales, lodging
dispositions in both years, the issuance of preferred stock in 1991, and
approximately $21 million of costs related to the Distribution planned for
1993.
 
  Excluding the impact of these items, the Company's operating profit and net
income increased by 11% and 56%, respectively, principally due to strong
improvement in four of the Company's five lodging divisions and growth in its
senior living services operations.
 
  Lodging sales and operating profit both increased 4% in 1992. Excluding the
impact of the noncomparable items cited above, lodging profits were up 14%
compared to the preceding year. Lodging sales growth was generated primarily by
the net addition of 107 hotels (16,750 rooms) since the beginning of
 
                                       27

1991, and higher occupancy rates. Average room rates across the Marriott system
increased slightly. Food and beverage sales were flat with the prior year due
to more rapid expansion of product lines with limited food service facilities,
and the closing of certain low volume restaurants. At year-end 1992, the
Company's lodging business encompassed 746 hotels with over 167,000 rooms,
including the net addition of 48 hotels (5,800 rooms) during 1992.
 
  Marriott Hotels, Resorts and Suites, the full service lodging division,
posted increases in occupancy for comparable U.S. hotels of two percentage
points for 1992--to the mid-70s--while the average room rate was unchanged.
Profits were flat excluding the impact of the aforementioned noncomparable
items.
 
  Courtyard, the moderate price lodging product, posted strong increases in
sales and profits for 1992. Occupancy for comparable units advanced nearly
eight percentage points for 1992 to the upper 70s. Average room rates were
slightly lower, reflecting the division's strategy of increasing occupancy and
total revenues. Reduced administrative expenses also improved results.
 
  Residence Inn, the extended stay lodging product, reported solid sales and
profit growth for 1992. Occupancy for comparable units increased nearly three
percentage points--to the low 80s--as business travel and weekend leisure
business improved from 1991 levels. Average room rates were slightly higher.
 
  Fairfield Inn, the economy lodging product, generated higher sales and
profits for 1992 on occupancy growth of more than three percentage points--to
the upper 70s--for comparable units. Average room rate growth matched
inflation.
 
  Marriott Ownership Resorts, the timeshare division, posted higher sales and
profits in 1992 due to increased sales at existing timesharing properties, the
addition of two new properties, and greater cost efficiencies in marketing and
product development.
 
  Contract Services reported increases in sales and operating profit of 6% and
3%, respectively, compared to 1991, largely due to significant growth for
Marriott Senior Living Services, although all four divisions in the group
reported higher sales.
 
  Marriott Management Services, benefitted from increased profits in its health
care, higher education and school services divisions. Overall results increased
only modestly due to the offsetting effect of losses at a west coast laundry
facility and lower profits for Canadian operations.
 
  Host/Travel Plazas results were helped by operating efficiencies, and the
increased travel resulting from low summer airfares, the September 1992
acquisition of the Dobbs airport concessions, and improved performance in
stadiums and arenas. However, lower profits reflected reduced results on
several major tollroads served by the Company, and at merchandise operations in
Las Vegas and Atlantic City.
 
  Marriott Senior Living Services reported strong sales and profit increases in
1992, aided by the sale of condominium units at a new retirement community in
the Washington, D.C. area, and the maturing of units opened in prior years.
Occupancy for comparable units increased by more than nine percentage points to
nearly 90 percent.
 
  Marriott Distribution Services had higher sales in 1992. Profits were
slightly lower due to costs associated with new distribution center openings,
and reduced volume at certain distribution centers resulting from the Company's
disposition of its family restaurant division.
 
  Corporate expenses increased 16% in 1992 due to $21 million of costs
associated with the Distribution. Corporate expenses decreased 3% in 1992
excluding these costs, following a 19% decline in the preceding year. After a
major administrative downsizing program conducted in 1990-91, the Company
eliminated additional administrative staff positions in 1992.
 
                                       28
<PAGE>
 
  Interest expense declined 6% in 1992 due to lower average borrowings as well
as lower interest rates, which were partially offset by reduced interest
capitalization. Interest income was down 28% primarily as a result of lower
temporary cash investments. The Company's effective tax rate was 43.3% in 1992
compared to 43.4% in the preceding year.
 
  During 1992, the Company sold thirteen Courtyard hotels for $146 million in a
sale/leaseback transaction. The Company also sold seven full service hotels in
1992 for total proceeds of $200 million. Pre-tax gains on these full service
hotel sales of approximately $15 million were offset by adjustments to
previously established reserves, resulting in no net gain or loss. Most of the
reserve adjustment was a valuation allowance, related to the in-substance
foreclosure of a 28.7% interest in the Times Square Hotel Company (the owner of
the New York Marriott Marquis hotel), equal to the difference between the
estimated fair value of the in-substance foreclosed ownership interest and the
carrying amount of the receivable.
 
 Sources and Uses of Capital
 
  The Company has historically funded its capital requirements with a
combination of operating cash flow, proceeds from sales of hotels and other
properties, and debt and equity financing. Operating cash flow is generated
principally by the Company's Ownership Business and by the Host/Travel Plazas
Business. The Company believes that financial resources from ongoing operations
as well as funds available under the Revolving Line of Credit from Marriott
International will be sufficient to enable it to meet its debt service needs
and finance its capital expenditures for the foreseeable future.
 
  Financing Activities. The Company had debt of $2.4 billion at June 17, 1994.
A substantial portion of this debt carries fixed interest rates and the
weighted average rate approximated 9.3% at June 17, 1994. Aggregate debt
maturities at June 17, 1994, excluding capital lease obligations, are:

  The Company's derivative activities are very limited and currently are
solely related to interest rate exchange agreements. The Company regularly
evaluates its mix of fixed and floating rate obligations in comparison to the
variability of its sources of cash flow. From time-to-time, the Company may
enter into interest rate exchange agreements to manage its blend of fixed
versus floating rate debt. The Company currently is party to five interest
rate exchange agreements with notional amounts of $100 million each. These
agreements with Citibank, N.A. New York, First National Bank of Chicago, and
Salomon Brothers (the contracting parties) require the Company to pay interest
based on specified floating rates of one to six month LIBOR (average rate of
4.7% at June 17, 1994) and collect interest at fixed rates (average rate of
7.6% at June 17, 1994). The Company realized a net reduction of interest
expense for both 1993 and 1992 of $21 million and a net reduction of $6
million for 1991 related to the interest rate exchange agreements.
Additionally, the Company realized a net reduction of interest expense of $8
million for the period ended June 17, 1994 related to the interest rate
exchange agreements. The agreements expire in 1995 through 1997. The Company
monitors the credit worthiness of its contracting parties by evaluating credit
exposure and referring to the ratings of widely accepted credit rating
services. The Standard and Poors' long-term debt ratings for the contracting
parties are all A- or better. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the
event of non-performance by the contracting parties; however, the Company does
not anticipate non-performance by the contracting parties.     
 
  The Company owns a portfolio of real estate which can be sold or used to
secure new financings. Property and equipment totaled $2.9 billion at June 17,
1994, $1.7 billion of which had not been pledged or mortgaged. The Company may
secure long-term financing and (subject, among other things, to compliance
with its existing debt agreements, including requirements to use the proceeds
of certain refinancings to repay indebtedness) may use unencumbered assets as
security for future financings, if such financings are determined to be
advantageous. Such financings could take the form of traditional secured real
estate financings or could be effected through vehicles such as formation of a
real estate investment trust (REIT) or collateralized mortgage financings.
 
  In addition, the Company may, from time to time, consider opportunities to
sell certain of its real estate properties if price targets can be achieved.
During the second quarter of 1994, the Company completed the sale of nine of
its 14 senior living properties and the sale of the five remaining senior
living communities was completed in the third quarter of 1994. During the
third quarter of 1994, the Company also sold 26 of its Fairfield Inns. All of
the Fairfield Inns and the senior living communities sold were owned by
subsidiaries of Hospitality, the issuer of the notes issued in the Exchange
Offer. Under the terms of the New Notes Indenture, Hospitality is obligated to
use 50% of the net proceeds of these asset sales to redeem New Notes and must
offer to utilize an additional 25% of the net proceeds to make additional
repurchases of New Notes. Based on Cumulative Available Net Proceeds from
Qualifying Asset Sales (as defined in the New Notes Indenture) of
approximately $183 million through June 17, 1994, Hospitality redeemed
approximately $137 million of New Notes in the third quarter of 1994. Based on
Cumulative Available Net Proceeds from Qualifying Asset Sales of approximately
$228 million received in the third quarter of 1994, Hospitality will initiate
the process for redemption of $114 million of New Notes and initiate an offer
to repurchase up to an additional $57 million of New Notes during the fourth
quarter of 1994. Hospitality will make further redemptions and offers to
repurchase as and when necessary based on future net proceeds from qualifying
asset sales. Hospitality may also from time to time make open market purchases
of its debt securities, including the New Notes, to the extent such purchases
are viewed as an attractive use of available cash. During the second quarter
of 1994, Hospitality purchased approximately $15 million of New Notes with
excess cash from operations.
 
  In cases where there is an intent to sell particular properties, the Company
assesses impairment of each individual property to be sold on the basis of
expected sales price less estimated costs of disposal. Otherwise, the Company
assesses impairment of its real estate properties based on whether it is
probable that undiscounted future cash flows from such properties will be less
than their net book value. As previously discussed, the Company recorded an
$11 million charge in the fourth quarter of 1993 to write-down 15 individual
Fairfield Inn properties to their net realizable value although the overall
sales transaction provided an aggregate sales value in excess of the 26
properties' aggregate carrying value.
 
  In January 1994, the Company completed the sale of 20.1 million shares of
its common stock for net proceeds of $231 million. Cash from financing
activities of $155 million includes this $231 million, $27 million of debt
financing from the mortgage loan provided by Marriott International for the
construction of the Philadelphia Convention Center Hotel, offset by a $30
million paydown on the $630 million Revolving Line
 
                                      30

of Credit from Marriott International, $15 million of open market repurchases
of New Notes, the repurchase of approximately $7.5 million in Old Notes in
settlement of litigation and other debt repayments of $54 million.
 
  Lodging Properties Formerly Held For Sale. Historically and prior to the
Distribution, the Company developed and sold lodging properties to syndicated
limited partnerships, while continuing to operate the properties under long-
term agreements. Those agreements provided the Company with specified
percentages of sales and operating profits as compensation for operating the
properties for the owners.
 
  Most lodging properties developed by the Company since the early 1980s were
reported as assets held for sale prior to 1992. The Company used this
classification because the sale of newly-developed lodging properties, subject
to long-term operating agreements, was the principal method of financing the
Company's lodging property development during this period. Sales of such
properties also enabled the Company to transfer the risk of real estate
ownership. Most of these properties were in the Company's Courtyard, Fairfield
Inn and Residence Inn brands, and were sold in large groups with a balanced
geographical mix of properties of the same brand.
 
  In April 1992, as a result of continuing unfavorable conditions in the real
estate markets, the Company decided it was no longer appropriate to view such
sales of lodging properties as a primary means of long-term financing.
Accordingly, the Company discontinued classification of these properties as
assets held for sale.
 
  During the period the Company classified lodging properties as assets held
for sale, it determined the net realizable value of such assets on a property-
by-property basis in the case of full service hotels, resorts and suites, and
on an aggregate basis, by brand, in the case of its limited service (i.e.,
Courtyard, Fairfield Inn and Residence Inn) lodging properties. On this basis,
carrying value of these properties was not in excess of their net realizable
value based on estimated selling prices, although, as a result of deteriorating
market conditions, certain individual properties within a limited service brand
had carrying values in excess of their estimated selling prices. In certain
cases, these unrealized losses related to properties constructed during 1990
and 1991 where total development and construction costs exceeded net realizable
value. Following the reclassification of these properties, the Company assesses
impairment of its owned real estate properties based on whether it is probable
that undiscounted future cash flows from such properties will be less than
their net book value.
 
  Beginning in the second fiscal quarter of 1993, under a new accounting policy
adopted by the Company, net realizable value of assets held for sale are
determined on a property-by-property basis as to all lodging properties,
whereas formerly such determination was made on an aggregate basis by hotel
brand as to Courtyard hotels, Fairfield Inns and Residence Inns. The after-tax
cumulative effect of this change on years prior to 1993 of $32 million was
recorded in the quarter ended June 18, 1993. The reduction in the annual
depreciation charge as a result of this change did not have a material effect
on 1993 results of operations.
 
  Capital Expenditures and Acquisitions. Management estimates that capital
spending for renovation and refurbishment of the Company's existing lodging
properties will approximate $45 million annually. The majority of this amount
is expected to be reserved in accordance with the terms of the management
agreements for the lodging properties. Management anticipates that an
additional $50 million will be spent annually to maintain and expand the
business conducted through the Operating Group.
 
  In addition, the Company is completing construction of two hotels. Capital
expenditures for these projects were $60 million in 1993 (including amounts
incurred before the Distribution), and are estimated to be $125 million in 1994
and $50 million in 1995. The Company has obtained a $40 million industrial
 
                                       31
<PAGE>
 
development bond to finance a portion of the construction costs for the
Philadelphia Airport Hotel and will receive mortgage financing from Marriott
International of up to $125 million to finance 60% of the development and
construction costs for the Philadelphia Convention Center Hotel, of which
approximately $67 million was borrowed as of June 17, 1994. The remaining
portion of capital expenditures will be funded from operating cash or
borrowings under the Revolving Line of Credit with Marriott International.
 
  Capital expenditures amounted to $235 million in 1993 compared to $210
million in 1992. Proceeds from sales of assets totaled $83 million in 1993,
compared to $484 million in 1992. Asset dispositions during 1992 included the
sale of 13 Courtyard hotels for $146 million in a sale/leaseback transaction,
203 family restaurants for total proceeds of $84 million and seven full service
hotels for total proceeds of $200 million.
 
  In September 1992, the Company acquired 32 Dobbs House concession contracts
at 19 airports for approximately $47 million. In addition, during 1993, the
Company acquired the National Airport concession contract in Washington, D.C.
for $9 million.
 
  The Company is seeking to acquire full service lodging properties or related
assets, to the extent that attractive acquisition opportunities become
available. The Company is actively engaged in purchase negotiations with a
number of owners of individual hotel properties and lodging chains. The Company
may seek additional debt or equity financing in connection with such
acquisitions, including debt secured by properties acquired. The Company
believes it will have adequate sources of funding to permit it to pursue its
acquisition strategy.
 
  Partnership Activities. The Company or its subsidiaries serve as general
partner or the managing general partner of numerous limited partnerships which
own hotels. Debt of the hotel limited partnerships is typically secured by
first mortgages on the properties and generally is nonrecourse to the
partnership and the partners. However, the Company has committed to advance
amounts to these affiliated limited partnerships, if necessary, to cover
certain future debt service requirements. Such commitments were limited, in the
aggregate, to $271 million at December 31, 1993. Funding under these guarantees
amounted to $14 million in 1993 and has declined significantly in 1994 as the
Company's guarantee obligations expired or maturities of partnership debt were
extended.
 
  Divestitures. The Company disposes of businesses that no longer meet its
financial return or growth objectives. In 1989, the Company divested its
airline catering business for over $500 million. In 1990, the Company sold its
fast food restaurant division for more than $365 million. In 1991, 138
additional family restaurants were sold. The Company sold 10 family restaurants
in 1993 and 203 family restaurants in 1992 for cash proceeds of $4 million and
$23 million, respectively.
 
  Revolving Line of Credit. An additional source of liquidity for the Company
is the $630 million Revolving Line of Credit from Marriott International
available through 2007. As of June 17, 1994, $163 million was outstanding under
the Revolving Line of Credit.
 
  Inflation. The Company's lodging properties are impacted by inflation through
its effect on increasing costs and on the operator's ability to increase room
rates. Unlike other real estate, hotels have the ability to change room rates
on a daily basis, so the impact of higher inflation can be passed on
immediately to customers.
 
  The Operating Group expenses are similarly impacted by inflation, especially
with regard to employee benefits. While price increases can be instituted as
inflation occurs, several contracts require landlord approval before prices can
be increased. Over time, this should not inhibit the Company's ability to raise
prices and improve profitability.
 
  A substantial portion of the Company's debt bears interest at fixed rates.
This debt structure largely mitigates the impact of changes in the rate of
inflation on future interest costs. However, the Company does
 
                                       32
<PAGE>
 
participate in five interest rate swap agreements aggregating $500 million with
Citibank, N.A. New York, First National Bank of Chicago, and Salomon Brothers.
Under these agreements, the Company collects interest at fixed rates (average
rate of 7.6% at June 17, 1994) and pays interest based on specified floating
interest rates of one to six month LIBOR (average rate of 4.7% at June 17,
1994). Additionally, the Revolving Line of Credit with Marriott International
totalling $163 million at June 17, 1994, bears interest at LIBOR plus 4% (8.31%
at June 17, 1994). Accordingly, the amount of the Company's interest expense
under the interest rate swap agreements and the Revolving Line of Credit for a
particular year will be affected by changes in the one month, three month and
six month LIBOR during such period.

                       SELECTED HISTORICAL FINANCIAL DATA
 
  The following table presents certain selected historical financial data of
the Company which has been derived from the Host Marriott Corporation
Consolidated and Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the
twenty-four weeks ended June 17, 1994 and June 18, 1993 and the five most
recent fiscal years ended December 31, 1993. Except as to the twenty-four weeks
ended June 17, 1994 and the balance sheet data at December 31, 1993, the
financial data in the table does not reflect the Distribution and related
transactions and, accordingly, the table presents data for the Company that
include amounts attributable to Marriott International. As a result of the
Distribution and related transactions, the assets, liabilities and businesses
of the Company have changed substantially. Accordingly, except for the
financial information as of and for the twenty-four weeks ended June 17, 1994
and the balance sheet at December 31, 1993, the financial data set forth in the
table below does not reflect the financial condition and results of operations
of the Company as it now exists. See "Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated
Statement of Income" included elsewhere in this Prospectus. The information set
forth below should be read in conjunction with the Host Marriott Corporation
Consolidated and Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto
and the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations each included in this Prospectus.

(1) Certain revenues and costs and expenses for the twenty-four weeks ended
    June 18, 1993 have been reclassified to conform to the Company's new income
    statement presentation.
(2) Operating results for 1993 include the operations of Marriott International
    only through the Distribution date of October 8, 1993. These operations had
    a net pre-tax effect on income of $129 million for the twenty-four weeks
    ended June 18, 1993 and $211 million for the year ended December 31, 1993
    and are recorded as "Profit from operations distributed to Marriott
    International" on the Company's consolidated statements of operations and
    are, therefore, not included in sales, operating profit before corporate
    expenses and interest, interest expense and interest income for the same
    periods. The net pre-tax effect of these operations is, however, included
    in income before income taxes, extraordinary item and cumulative effect of
    changes in accounting principles and in net income for the same periods.

(3) Operating results in 1993 and 1992 included pre-tax costs related to the
    Distribution totaling $13 million and $21 million, respectively, and a $7
    million pre-tax restructuring charge for Host/Travel Plazas in 1993.
(4) Operating results in 1990 included pre-tax restructuring charges and
    writeoffs, net of certain non-recurring gains, of $153 million related to
    continuing operations.
(5) Operating results in 1989 included pre-tax restructuring charges and

    pre-tax gain on the transfer of the airline catering division, and a $39
    million after-tax charge recorded in conjunction with the planned disposal
    of restaurant operations.
(6) The Company's restaurant operations were discontinued in 1989.
(7) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income
    Taxes," was adopted in the first fiscal quarter of 1993. In the second
    quarter of 1993, the Company changed its accounting method for assets held
    for sale. The 1993 income and per share data have been restated to reflect
    the cumulative effect of the change in accounting for assets held for sale
    as if it had occurred in the first quarter of 1993. Also, the Company
    recognized a $5 million extraordinary loss (net-of-tax) on the completion
    of the Exchange Offer.
(8) Earnings per common share is computed on a fully diluted basis by dividing
    net income available for common stock by the weighted average number of
    outstanding common and common equivalent shares, plus other potentially
    dilutive securities. Common equivalent shares and other potentially
    dilutive securities have been excluded from the weighted average number of
    outstanding common shares for the twenty-four weeks ended June 17, 1994, as
    they are antidilutive.
(9) Includes convertible subordinated debt of $236 million at June 18, 1993,
    $20 million at December 31, 1993, $228 million at January 1, 1993 and $210

                            BUSINESS AND PROPERTIES
 
GENERAL
 
  The Company is one of the largest owners of lodging properties in the world.
The Company owns over 110 lodging properties that are operated under Marriott
brand names and managed by Marriott International. The Company also holds
minority interests in various partnerships that own in the aggregate nearly 270
additional properties operated by Marriott International. The Company's
properties span several market segments, including full service (Marriott
Hotels, Resorts and Suites), moderate-priced (Courtyard by Marriott), extended-
stay (Residence Inn by Marriott) and economy (Fairfield Inn by Marriott). Until
recently, the Company owned 14 senior living communities which were leased to
Marriott International under long-term leases and which the Company sold during
the second and third quarters of 1994. See "Prospectus Summary--Recent
Developments--Dispositions."
 
  The Real Estate Group, the majority of which was formerly classified in the
"Lodging" segment, is comprised of the Company's existing business of owning
lodging properties, its partnership investments and undeveloped land parcels,
which together are sometimes referred to as the Company's "Ownership and
Development Business." The Operating Group, formerly included in the "Contract
Services" segment, consists of the food, beverage and merchandise operations at
airports, on tollroads and at tourist attractions, stadiums and arenas, as well
as restaurant operations, which together are sometimes referred to as the
Company's "Host/Travel Plazas Business." The new segments reflect the Company's
current business segments and operating environment.
 
  The Company, through its Operating Group, is the leading operator of airport
and tollroad food and merchandise concessions, with facilities in most major
commercial airports in the U.S. The Company operates restaurants, gift shops
and related facilities at over 70 airports, on 14 tollroads (including over 90
travel plazas) and at more than 40 tourist attractions, stadiums and arenas.
Many of the Company's concessions operate under branded names, including Pizza
Hut, Burger King, Taco Bell, Sbarro's, Dunkin' Donuts, Starbucks, TCBY yogurt,
Mrs. Fields cookies, Nathan's Famous hot dogs and Cheers.
 
  The Company leases certain property and equipment under non-cancelable
operating leases. Leases related to the Company's Real Estate Group include
long-term ground leases for certain hotels, generally with multiple renewal
options. Leases related to the Company's Operating Group generally do not have
renewal or extension provisions.
 
  Certain leases contain provisions for the payment of contingent rentals based
on a percentage of sales in excess of stipulated amounts. Certain leases also
contain contractual rental payment increases throughout the term of the lease.
The minimum rent increases are amortized over the life of the lease on a
straight-line basis. The Company remains contingently liable on certain leases
related to divested properties. Management considers the likelihood of any
substantial funding related to these leases to be remote. For a further
discussion of the Company's leasing commitments, see "Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements" included elsewhere in this Prospectus.
 
REAL ESTATE GROUP
 
  The Real Estate Group's properties are operated under four Marriott brand
lodging concepts which offer distinct choices to meet consumers' specialized
needs whenever they travel. These brands have achieved favorable results
compared to competitive hotels.
 
  One commonly used indicator of market performance for hotels is revenue per
available room, or REVPAR, which measures daily room revenues generated on a
per room basis. This does not include food and beverage or other ancillary
revenues generated by the property. REVPAR represents the combination of the
average daily room rate charged and the average daily occupancy achieved. The
Company's properties in each of the four Marriott brand lodging concepts
reported, in the aggregate, increases in REVPAR during
 
                                       36
<PAGE>
 
1994, 1993 and 1992 with a particularly strong improvement in 1993 by the
properties operated under the Courtyard and Residence Inn lodging concepts.
   
  The following table sets forth information as of September 9, 1994 regarding
the properties that comprise the Company's Real Estate Group. Each of these
properties is operated by Marriott International pursuant to a management
agreement.

(2) Includes a Residence Inn currently under development and scheduled for
    completion in early 1996.
 
  As part of the Company's annual capital expenditure program, its properties
are improved or upgraded on a regular basis. The Company expends approximately
$45 million annually on the renovation and refurbishment of the Company's
existing lodging properties. The expenditures provide for full utilization of
the properties through their estimated useful lives of generally 40 years.
 
  Marriott Hotels, Resorts and Suites. The full service Marriott hotels owned
by the Company are part of the Marriott full service hotel system. These
Company-owned Marriott hotels generally contain from 300 to 600 rooms. The
Company's convention hotels are larger and contain up to 1,900 rooms. Hotel
facilities typically include swimming pools, gift shops, convention and banquet
facilities, a variety of restaurants and lounges, and parking facilities. The
Company's full service hotels primarily serve business and pleasure travelers
and group meetings at locations in downtown and suburban areas, near airports
and at resort locations. The age of the full-service lodging properties range
from one to 24 years with an average room age of 11 years. These hotels
achieved an average occupancy rate of 74.9 percent for 1993. The chart below
sets forth comparable performance information for such hotels for fiscal years
1991 through 1993.

(b) Excludes the New York Marriott Marquis, which was not treated as an owned
    hotel until December 31, 1993, and excludes the hotels added in 1994. See
    "Prospectus Summary--Recent Developments--Acquisitions."
 
  The Company is developing two other full service Marriott hotels, the
Philadelphia Convention Center Hotel (1,200 rooms, completion scheduled for
late 1994) and the Philadelphia Airport Hotel (419 rooms, completion scheduled
for 1995), which, when completed, will be operated by Marriott International.
The Philadelphia Airport Hotel has been largely pre-financed through the
issuance of $40 million of industrial
 
                                       37
<PAGE>
 
revenue bonds. The Philadelphia Convention Center Hotel was financed initially,
in part, by a mortgage loan provided by Marriott International.
 
  During 1994, the Company acquired six full service hotels totalling
approximately 2,850 rooms in separate transactions for approximately $236
million. The Company also provided 100% financing totalling approximately $35
million to an affiliated partnership, in which the Company owns the sole
general partner interest, for the acquisition of two full service hotels (685
rooms). The Company considers these properties as owned hotels for accounting
purposes. The Company is also engaged in discussion with respect to other
acquisition opportunities. See "Prospectus Summary--Recent Developments--
Acquisitions."
 
  Courtyard Hotels. The Company's moderate-priced Courtyard hotels are
positioned to compete in their respective markets directly with major national
franchised moderate-priced hotel chains. Aimed at individual business and
pleasure travelers as well as families, Courtyard hotels typically have about
150 rooms. Well-landscaped grounds include a courtyard with a pool and
socializing areas. Each hotel features meeting rooms and a restaurant and
lounge with approximately 80 seats. The operating systems developed for these
hotels allow Courtyard to be price competitive while providing value through
superior product and guest service. The 54 Courtyard hotels owned by the
Company are among the newest in the Courtyard hotel system, averaging only four
years old. The chart below sets forth comparable performance information for
fiscal years 1991 through 1993.

  Residence Inns. Residence Inn is the market leader in the extended-stay
lodging segment, enjoying solid customer preference, high guest satisfaction
and strong intent-to-return. The extended-stay lodging segment caters primarily
to business and family travelers who stay more than five consecutive nights.
Residence Inns generally have 80 to 130 studio and two-story penthouse suites.
Each inn features a series of residential style buildings with landscaped
walkways, courtyards and recreational areas. The Inns do not have restaurants
but offer complimentary continental breakfast, and most provide a complimentary
evening hospitality hour. Each suite contains a fully equipped kitchen, and
many suites have woodburning fireplaces.
 
  The 18 Residence Inns owned by the Company are among the newest in the
Residence Inn system, averaging only four years old. The chart below sets forth
performance information for such Inns for fiscal years 1991 through 1993.
During 1993, the Company sold the majority of its equity interest in a
partnership owning eleven Residence Inns. The following table excludes
information with respect to the eleven Residence Inns that are no longer
consolidated with the Company as of December 31, 1993.

  Fairfield Inns. The Company's Fairfield Inns are positioned to compete in
their respective markets directly with major national economy motel chain
operators. Aimed at budget conscious individual business and pleasure
travelers, Fairfield Inns typically have 104 to 138 rooms. A Fairfield Inn has
limited public space and does not include a restaurant, however, they do offer
a complimentary breakfast program. The Fairfield Inns owned by the Company
average only four years old. The chart below sets forth performance information
for such Inns for fiscal years 1991 through 1993.

  In the third quarter of 1994, the Company completed the sale of 26 of its
Fairfield Inns to an unrelated party. The net proceeds from the sale were
approximately $114 million, which exceeds the carrying value of the hotels.
Approximately $27 million of the proceeds were be payable in the form of a note
from the purchaser. See "Prospectus Summary--Recent Developments--
Dispositions."
 
  Senior Living Communities. Until recently, the Company owned 14 senior living
communities (one of which opened in February 1994). These communities are
located in seven states and offer independent living apartments, assisted
living services and skilled nursing care. Certain of these senior living
communities are operated under the trade names Brighton Gardens and Stratford
Court. Commencing with the Distribution, these communities have been leased to
and operated by Marriott International.
 
  During the first quarter of 1994, the Company signed an agreement to sell its
14 senior living communities to an unrelated party for $320 million, which
approximates the communities' carrying value. The sale was completed in stages.
The sale of nine of the 14 senior living communities was completed in the
second quarter of 1994 and the sale of the five remaining communities was
completed in the third quarter of 1994. See "Prospectus Summary--Recent
Developments--Dispositions."
 
  Partnership Investments. The Company and certain of its subsidiaries also
monitor the Company's partnership investments and conduct the partnership
services business (the "Partnership Business"). The Company and/or its
subsidiaries own an equity investment in, and serve as the general partner or
the managing general partner for, various partnerships which collectively own
45 Marriott full service hotels, 120 Courtyard hotels, 50 Residence Inns and 50
Fairfield Inns. In addition, the Company holds notes receivable (net of
reserves) from partnerships totalling $180 million.
 
  As a general partner or the managing general partner, the Company or its
subsidiaries are responsible for the day-to-day management of partnership
operations, which includes payment of partnership obligations from partnership
funds, preparation of financial reports and tax returns and communications with
lenders, limited partners and regulatory bodies. As managing general partner,
the Company or its subsidiary is usually reimbursed for the cost of providing
these services.
 
  Hotel properties owned by the partnerships generally were acquired from the
Company or its subsidiaries in connection with limited partnership offerings.
These hotel properties are currently operated under existing management
agreements with Marriott International. As the general partner or the managing
general partner of such partnerships, the Company and its subsidiaries oversee
and monitor Marriott International's performance pursuant to these agreements.
 
  The Company's interests in these partnerships range from 1% to 50%. Cash
distributions provided from these partnerships are tied to the overall
performance of the underlying properties and the overall level of
 
                                       39
<PAGE>
 
debt owed by the partnership. Partnership distributions to the Company
approximated $6 million in 1993. All partnership debt is non-recourse to the
Company and its subsidiaries except to the extent of limited debt service
guarantees discussed below.
 
  The Company is contingently liable under various guarantees of debt
obligations of certain of these partnerships. Such commitments are limited in
the aggregate to $271 million at December 31, 1993. Management believes
fundings under these guarantees will decline significantly in 1994 as the
Company's guarantee obligations expire or maturities of partnership debts are
extended. In most cases, fundings of such guarantees represent loans to the
respective partnerships.
 
  Other. The Company owns 56 undeveloped parcels of vacant land originally
purchased for the development of hotels or senior living communities. In
addition, the Company owns a 210-acre parcel of undeveloped land in Germantown,
Maryland, suitable for commercial use. The Company may sell these properties
from time to time when market conditions are favorable. Some of the properties
may be developed as part of a long-term strategy to realize the maximum value
of these parcels.
 
OPERATING GROUP
 
  The Operating Group operates food, beverage and merchandise concessions at
airports, travel plazas and other locations.
 
  The Company, through the Operating Group, is the leading operator of airport
concessions in the United States with restaurants, gift shops and related
facilities at over 70 domestic airports and four foreign airports. The
Company's foreign airport operations include concessions at two airports in New
Zealand, one airport in Australia and one airport in Canada. The Company's
airport concessions operate primarily under the trade name "Host" and "Host
Marriott" and include restaurants, cafeterias, snack bars and gift shops.
Payments by the Company under operating contracts with airport authorities are
typically based on percentages of sales subject to an annual minimum. The terms
of such agreements vary but many have initial terms of ten or more years for
food and beverage concessions, and five or more years for merchandise
facilities. Additionally, the Company operates restaurants, gift shops and
related facilities at more than 40 major tourist attractions, stadiums and
arenas.
 
  During the fourth quarter of 1992, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company
acquired the airport concessions business of Dobbs Houses, Inc. for
approximately $47 million, adding 32 contracts at 19 airports and two hotel
gift shops to the concessions business. In addition, during 1993, the Company
acquired the National Airport concession contract in Washington, D.C. for $9
million.
 
  The Company is also the leading operator of travel plazas in the United
States, with over 90 travel plazas on 14 tollroads. The Company currently
operates such facilities under contracts with the highway authorities which
typically extend 15 years. The highway systems are located primarily in the
Mid-Atlantic, Midwest and New England states as well as in Florida. Travel
plazas typically include restaurants, snack bars, vending areas and merchandise
facilities.
 
  The Operating Group now employs 17 different food, beverage and merchandise
concepts at many of its airports and tollroads, including Pizza Hut, Burger
King, Taco Bell, Sbarro's, Dunkin Donuts, Starbucks, TCBY yogurt, Mrs. Fields
cookies, Nathan's Famous hot dogs and Cheers. As a licensee of these brands,
the Company typically pays royalties based on a percentage of sales.
 
  In November 1993, the Operating Group announced a plan to redesign its
operations structure to improve the effectiveness and competitiveness of the
business. Implementation of the new structure was completed in early 1994. In
the fourth quarter of 1993, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of
approximately $7 million pre-tax, principally for severance, relocation, and
the closing of certain offices.

COMPETITION
 
  Competition in the U.S. lodging industry is strong. Room revenues, which are
determined by occupancy levels and room rates, have been impacted by a slow
growth economy, overbuilt markets and price-sensitive customers. However, the
Company has experienced increases in REVPAR in each of its lodging product
lines in 1994 compared to 1993. Room supply growth is expected to be minimal
over the next few years.
 
  The cyclical nature of the U.S. lodging industry has been demonstrated over
the past two decades. Low hotel profitability during the 1974-75 recession led
to a prolonged slump in new construction and, over time, high occupancy rates
and real price increases in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Changes in tax and
banking laws during the early 1980s precipitated a construction boom that
peaked in 1986 but created an oversupply of hotel rooms that has not yet been
fully absorbed by increased demand. The Company expects the U.S. hotel
supply/demand imbalance to continue to improve gradually over the next few
years.
 
  The Company believes that its lodging properties will enjoy competitive
advantages arising from their participation in the Marriott International hotel
system. Repeat guest business in the Marriott hotel system is enhanced by the
Marriott Honored Guest Awards program, which awards frequent travelers with
free stays at Marriott Hotels, Resorts and Suites, and by frequent stay
programs established by the Courtyard (Courtyard Club) and Fairfield Inn
(INNsiders Club) systems. Marriott International's nationwide marketing
programs and reservation systems as well as the advantage of increasing
customer preference for Marriott brands should also help these properties to
maintain or increase their premium over competitors in both occupancy and room
rates.
 
  Through its Operating Group, the Company competes with several national and
regional companies to obtain the rights from airport and highway authorities to
operate food, beverage and merchandise concessions. To compete effectively, the
Company regularly updates and refines its product offerings (including the
addition of branded products) and facilities. Through these efforts, the
Company is able to generate higher sales and thereby increase returns both to
the airport and highway authorities and the Company. Generating these financial
results, as well as achieving high satisfaction with the products and services
provided, better positions the Operating Group to be a preferred choice when
renewing contracts or obtaining new contracts.
 
  The Operating Group's contracts generally do not contain extension or renewal
provisions, although they are frequently extended on month-to-month leases at
contract completion while a rebidding procedure is completed. In any given
year, a number of the Operating Group's contracts expire and are rebid. Based
upon the Company's successful track record in achieving extensions of existing
contracts and gaining new contracts, management expects that most of these
contracts will be renewed and a limited number of new contracts also will be
awarded to the Company.
 
  Three major Operating Group airport contracts will expire in 1994. These
contracts represent approximately 18% of the total airport concessions'
business annual revenue. The Company is currently operating under month-to-
month contracts at these locations which, for the most part, are expected to
extend for one to two years. It also has detailed development strategies in
place with respect to each of these airports in order to maintain significant
presence on a profitable basis. Based upon its negotiations with the local
authorities, the Company believes that it will be successful in executing those
strategies. There are no other contracts expiring through 1995 that are
material, individually or in the aggregate, to the Company's financial position
or results of operations.
 
EMPLOYEES
 
  At June 17, 1994, the Company and its subsidiaries collectively have
approximately 23,000 employees. Approximately 6,000 of the employees of the
Company and its subsidiaries are covered by collective bargaining agreements.

                               LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
  A number of holders of the Company's Old Notes instituted legal proceedings
against the Company. For a discussion of the allegations raised and agreements
to settle certain of such claims, see "Risk Factors--Pending Litigation."
 
                                THE DISTRIBUTION
 
  Prior to October 8, 1993, the Company was named "Marriott Corporation." In
addition to conducting its existing Ownership Business and the Host/Travel
Plazas Business, Marriott Corporation engaged in lodging and senior living
services management, timeshare resort development and operation, food service
and facilities management and other contract services businesses (the
"Management Business"). On October 8, 1993, Marriott Corporation made a special
dividend consisting of the distribution (the "Distribution") to holders of
outstanding shares of Common Stock, on a share-for-share basis, of all
outstanding shares of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Marriott International,
which at the time of the Distribution held all of the assets relating to the
Management Business. Marriott International now conducts the Management
Business as a separate publicly-traded company. The Company and Marriott
International are parties to several important ongoing arrangements, including
(i) agreements pursuant to which Marriott International manages or leases the
Company's portfolio of lodging properties and senior living facilities and (ii)
the Credit Agreement pursuant to which Marriott International provides a $630
million line of credit to Holdings. See "Relationship Between the Company and
Marriott International" and "Financing--Credit Agreement."
 
                      THE EXCHANGE OFFER AND RESTRUCTURING
 
THE EXCHANGE OFFER
 
  In connection with the Distribution, the Company also completed the Exchange
Offer pursuant to which holders of Old Notes in aggregate principal amount of
approximately $1.2 billion exchanged such Old Notes for a combination of (i)
cash, (ii) Common Stock and (iii) New Notes issued by Hospitality. The coupon
and maturity date for each series of New Notes was 100 basis points higher and
four years later, respectively, than the series of Old Notes for which it was
exchanged (except that the maturity of the New Notes issued in exchange for the
Series L Senior Notes due 2012 was shortened by five years). The Company also
conducted a consent solicitation pursuant to which, as a condition to
participation in the Exchange Offer, holders of Old Notes were required to
deliver (i) a consent to the Distribution and a waiver of any defaults, claims
or rights under the Old Note Indenture relating thereto, (ii) a release and
discharge of legal or equitable claims relating to the Distribution and (iii) a
consent to the deletion of a negative pledge covenant in the Old Note Indenture
to permit the Restructuring and grant of a stock pledge under the New Note
Indenture (collectively, the "Consents and Releases").
 
  The Company received tenders of approximately $1.2 billion of Old Notes.
Excluding the Series F Notes due 1995 (the "Old Series F Notes") and the Series
I Senior Notes due 1995 (the "Old Series I Notes"), the Company received
tenders for 82% of the aggregate amount of Old Notes subject to the Exchange
Offer. The Company has redeemed all of the Old Series F Notes that did not
tender in the Exchange Offer, and has secured the Old Series I Notes equally
and ratably with the New Notes issued in the Exchange Offer. The Company
recognized an extraordinary after-tax loss of approximately $5 million in the
fourth quarter of fiscal 1993 in connection with extinguishment of debt in the
Exchange Offer.
 
THE RESTRUCTURING
 
  In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Company effected the restructuring
of its assets (the "Restructuring"). As a result of the Restructuring, the
Company's primary asset is the capital stock of Holdings, although the Company
conducts certain operations directly and holds interests in various other
 
                                       42
<PAGE>
 
subsidiaries. Holdings is a holding company, the primary asset of which is the
capital stock of Hospitality, and is the borrower under the Credit Agreement.
Hospitality is also a holding company which owns the capital stock of HMH
Properties, Inc. ("HMH Properties") and Host Marriott Travel Plazas, Inc.
("HMTP"). In the Restructuring, most of the assets relating to the Ownership
Business were transferred to HMH Properties and its subsidiaries, and most of
the assets relating to the Host/Travel Plazas Business were transferred to HMTP
and its subsidiaries. Certain assets relating to such businesses (the "Retained
Business") were retained directly by the Company and certain of its other
subsidiaries (the "Retained Business Subsidiaries").
 
  The Company also has two subsidiaries used to fund new acquisitions. HMC
Ventures, Inc. ("HMC Ventures") is an unrestricted subsidiary under the Credit
Agreement that has been capitalized with approximately $50 million from recent
asset sales. HMC Acquisitions is a newly-formed subsidiary that, pursuant to
amendments to the Credit Agreement, is permitted to use the net proceeds of the
January 1994 sale of Common Stock (approximately $231 million) to fund
acquisitions. See "Prospectus Summary--Recent Developments--Common Stock
Offering." HMC Acquisitions is a guarantor under the Credit Agreement. See
"Financing--Credit Agreement."
 
                                   FINANCING
 
  The following is a summary of important terms of certain indebtedness and
financing arrangements of the Company and its subsidiaries. For more complete
information regarding such documents, reference is made to the definitive
agreements and instruments governing such indebtedness and financing
arrangements, copies of which have been filed as exhibits to, or incorporated
by reference in, the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part,
and which are incorporated by reference herein.
 
NEW NOTES
 
  Hospitality issued $1.2 billion in aggregate principal amount of New Notes in
the Exchange Offer. Each series of New Notes is secured by a pledge of all of
the capital stock of Hospitality, HMH Properties, HMTP and certain of their
subsidiaries, and is guaranteed (the "Guarantees") by Holdings, HMH Properties,
HMTP and their material subsidiaries (the "Guarantors"). The New Notes were
issued in series with an average maturity of 11.3 years. The weighted average
interest rate on the New Notes is 10.5%. The New Notes are senior obligations
of Hospitality and the Guarantees are senior obligations of the Guarantors. The
New Note Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, (i) limit the
ability of Hospitality to pay dividends and make other distributions and
restricted payments, (ii) limit the ability of Hospitality and its subsidiaries
to incur additional debt, (iii) limit the ability of Hospitality and its
subsidiaries to create additional liens on their respective assets, (iv) limit
the ability of the subsidiaries of Hospitality to incur debt and issue
preferred stock, (v) limit the ability of Hospitality and its subsidiaries to
engage in certain transactions with related parties, (vi) limit the ability of
each subsidiary of Hospitality to enter into agreements restricting such
subsidiary in paying dividends or making certain other payments and (vii) limit
the activities and businesses of Holdings.
 
  Under certain circumstances, Hospitality is required to redeem all or a
portion of the New Notes with the proceeds of Refinancing Indebtedness (as
defined in the New Note Indenture) incurred by Hospitality or its subsidiaries,
and with certain proceeds of the sale of equity interests of HMTP and/or its
subsidiaries, at a redemption price of (i) 100% of the aggregate principal
amount of such notes plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if the
Comparable Interest Rate (as defined in the New Note Indenture) of this
Refinancing Indebtedness (or, in the case of the sale of equity interests,
certain Refinancing Indebtedness incurred substantially contemporaneously
therewith) is not less than the interest rate of the notes redeemed or if the
notes redeemed mature within 18 months, or (ii) otherwise, 103% of the
aggregate principal amount of such notes plus accrued and unpaid interest
thereon. Hospitality is also required, under certain circumstances, to redeem
and offer to repurchase New Notes upon the sale of certain assets of
Hospitality or its subsidiaries,
 
                                       43
<PAGE>
 
with up to 75% of the net proceeds of such asset sales, at a
redemption/repurchase price of 100% of the aggregate principal amount of such
notes plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon. In addition, each holder of the
New Notes has the right to require Hospitality to repurchase the New Notes of
such holder, at 101% of their aggregate principal amount plus accrued and
unpaid interest thereon, upon the occurrence of certain events constituting a
Change of Control as defined under the New Note Indenture.
 
  Based on Cumulative Available Net Proceeds from Qualifying Asset Sales (as
defined in the New Notes Indenture) of approximately $183 million through June
17, 1994, Hospitality redeemed or repurchased approximately $137 million of New
Notes in the third quarter of 1994. Based on Cumulative Available Net Proceeds
from Qualifying Asset Sales of approximately $228 million received in the third
quarter of 1994, Hospitality will initiate the process for redemption of $114
million of New Notes and initiate an offer to repurchase up to an additional
$57 million of New Notes during the fourth quarter of 1994. Hospitality will
make further redemptions and offers to repurchase as and when necessary based
on cumulative net proceeds from qualifying asset sales. Hospitality may also
from time to time make open market purchases of its debt securities, including
the New Notes, to the extent such purchases are viewed as an attractive use of
available cash. During the second quarter of 1994, Hospitality purchased
approximately $15 million of New Notes with excess cash from operations.
 
  Management believes that the covenants and other provisions of the New Notes
Indenture will not materially restrict or inhibit the Company's ability to meet
its future financing needs.
 
OLD NOTES
 
  The Company has $223 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding of Old
Notes. The Old Notes are senior obligations of the Company. The Old Notes were
issued in series and have an average maturity of approximately 4 years. The
weighted average interest rate on the Old Notes is 9.0%, exclusive of the
impact of interest rate swaps. The Old Note Indenture contains certain
covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of the Company to (i)
create liens on its assets and (ii) enter into certain sale and leaseback
transactions. Approximately $7.5 million of Old Notes were repurchased during
1994. See "Risk Factors--Pending Litigation."
 
CREDIT AGREEMENT
 
  Marriott International and Holdings have entered into a Credit Agreement
pursuant to which Holdings has the right to borrow from Marriott International
up to $630 million to fund (i) obligations under certain guarantees made by the
Company, (ii) specified recourse debt of the Company and its subsidiaries
(including the New Notes at maturity), (iii) repayment of interest on amounts
borrowed under the Credit Agreement and on specified recourse debt of the
Company and its subsidiaries (including the New Notes), (iv) certain capital
expenditures under commitments to construct the Philadelphia Airport hotel (to
the extent not funded by an existing $40 million credit facility) and
Philadelphia Marriott Convention Center hotel (the "Philadelphia Convention
Center hotel") (to the extent not funded under the Philadelphia Mortgage
(defined below)) and Port St. Lucie and Boca Point, Florida senior living
communities, and (v) other Marriott International approved capital expenditures
or other guarantees of the Company. The line of credit established by the
Credit Agreement will be available through August 2007 (or, if earlier, the
date when no New Notes are outstanding), with final maturity one year
thereafter. Holdings will pay Marriott International a commitment fee equal to
one percent per year on any unborrowed amounts. Additionally, any such
borrowings are guaranteed by, or secured by the pledge of the stock of, certain
subsidiaries of the Company, other than Hospitality or any of Hospitality's
subsidiaries.
 
  Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a floating rate equal
to the London Interbank Borrowing Rate ("LIBOR") (as defined in the Credit
Agreement) plus 400 basis points (provided that any interest in excess of 10.5
percent per annum will be deferred until maturity and will not reduce
availability under the Credit Agreement). Outstanding borrowings must be
reduced or repaid out of Net Cash Flow (as
 
                                       44
<PAGE>
 
defined in the Credit Agreement), on an annual basis, with respect to fiscal
year 1994, and on a quarterly basis thereafter. Amounts repaid may be
reborrowed for the purposes specified in the Credit Agreement during the
commitment term, subject to availability under the commitment (which is $630
million, subject to reduction to the extent that the sum of outstanding
borrowings plus the principal amount of New Notes outstanding is less than $630
million).
 
  The Credit Agreement imposes certain restrictions on the ability of the
Company and the Retained Business Subsidiaries to incur additional debt, impose
liens or mortgages on their properties (other than various types of liens
arising in the ordinary course of business), extend new guarantees (other than
replacement guarantees), pay dividends, repurchase their common stock, make
investments and incur capital expenditures. New debt is generally restricted to
refinancing debt, non-recourse secured debt with a loan to value ratio of not
less than 50% and certain types of subordinated debt. Liens and mortgages
securing debt, other than existing liens and replacements of existing liens in
connection with a debt refinancing, are generally limited to liens securing the
new non-recourse secured debt described above. New guarantees of the Company's
and its subsidiaries' debt, with an aggregate guarantee liability of not more
than $150 million, are permitted, to the extent that each such guarantee
supports no more than 20% of the principal amount of new non-recourse secured
debt to which it relates and the principal amount of such debt is not greater
than 70% of the value of the property which secures it. Dividends and
distributions on stock (other than dividends on the Company's existing
preferred stock, which are permitted), repurchases of stock, capital
expenditures (other than expenditures to maintain existing assets and business
operations), investments in persons other than subsidiaries and certain other
restricted payments by the Company and the Retained Business Subsidiaries are
generally prohibited (subject to specified exceptions), so long as there are
any outstanding advances under the Credit Agreement. When no advances are
outstanding under the Credit Agreement and the Company and the Retained
Business Subsidiaries have adequately reserved for debt maturities over a
6-month term, (i) capital expenditures and additional investments to acquire
entities engaged in the Ownership Business and the Host/Travel Plazas Business
are generally permitted and (ii) such restricted payments as would otherwise be
prohibited are permitted in the amount by which aggregate EBITDA of the Company
and the Retained Business Subsidiaries (unconsolidated with Hospitality) and
the proceeds of specified stock issuances exceed 170% of the aggregate of
certain specified charges. Other covenants under the Credit Agreement restrict
the ability of the Company and the Retained Business Subsidiaries to enter into
new leases (other than in the ordinary course of business), sell assets (except
for fair market value and, subject to certain exceptions, for at least 75% cash
consideration), issue new preferred stock, prepay indebtedness (other than in
connection with refinancings, prepayments of LYONs and other specified
exceptions), merge or consolidate with other entities or change the nature of
their business.
 
  If an event of default (as defined in the Credit Agreement) occurs and is
continuing, Marriott International is entitled to certain specified remedies,
including the right to foreclose on its security interest in the stock of
certain of the Retained Business Subsidiaries and the right to require Net Cash
Flow (which includes proceeds of stock issuances) of the Company and the
Retained Business Subsidiaries to be turned over on a quarterly basis to
Marriott International, to be used to repay all advances under the Credit
Agreement with the remainder to be held by Marriott International in trust as
security for future such advances until all events of default cease to exist.
However, prior to August 2007 (or such earlier date as no New Notes are
outstanding) Marriott International will not be entitled to (i) accelerate the
maturity of amounts due under the Credit Agreement (other than upon the
occurrence of certain bankruptcy events, or the acceleration of the maturity of
the New Notes as a result of an event of default under the New Note Indenture)
or (ii) foreclose on its security interest in the stock of Holdings. Upon the
occurrence and during the continuation of any event of default under the Credit
Agreement, Marriott International has the right to set-off and apply amounts
owed by it to or for the credit or account of the Company or certain
subsidiaries identified in the Credit Agreement against any Obligation (as
defined in the Credit Agreement) of Holdings then due and payable under the
Credit Agreement. Marriott International's right of set-off does not apply,
however, to the extent (but only to the extent) that any agreement in effect on
the Distribution Date to which the Company or certain specified subsidiaries is
a party, or any financing agreement permitted by the Credit
 
                                       45
<PAGE>
 
Agreement entered into by the Company or a specified subsidiary prohibits such
set-off with respect to the Company or the specified subsidiaries or with
respect to any specified assets of the Company or such subsidiaries.
 
  In connection with the Company's offering of Common Stock in January 1994,
Marriott International and the Company entered into an amendment to the Credit
Agreement, that (i) permits the Company to use any portion of the proceeds of
such offering (approximately $231 million) to capitalize HMC Acquisitions, a
new subsidiary formed to make acquisitions, and (ii) exempt such proceeds from
the mandatory repayment provisions of the Credit Agreement. HMC Acquisitions is
permitted to incur indebtedness and to reinvest its Net Cash Flow (including
proceeds from asset sales) in its ongoing businesses and/or new acquisitions,
except that, when the outstanding balance under the Credit Agreement exceeds
$450 million, then HMC Acquisitions will be required to use Net Cash Flow (plus
any unused portion of the net proceeds from such offering) to repay balances
under the Credit Agreement and will be restricted in developing or acquiring
new assets. HMC Acquisitions was capitalized with approximately $210 million of
the proceeds from the Common Stock offering.
 
  The Company owns a portfolio of real estate which can be sold or used to
secure new financings. Property and equipment totaled $2.9 billion at June 17,
1994, $1.7 billion of which had not been pledged or mortgaged. The Company may
secure long-term financing and (subject, among other things, to compliance with
its existing debt agreements, including requirements to use the proceeds of
certain refinancings to repay indebtedness) may use unencumbered assets as
security for future financings, if such financings are determined to be
advantageous. Such financings could take the form of traditional secured real
estate financings or could be effected through vehicles such as formation of a
real estate investment trust (REIT) or collateralized mortgage financings. At
June 17, 1994, approximately $1.6 billion of the Company's $2.9 billion
portfolio of real estate was owned by Hospitality and its subsidiaries. The
capital stock of Hospitality and of most of its subsidiaries has been pledged
as security for the New Notes. Of this $1.6 billion portfolio of property and
equipment owned by Hospitality and its subsidiaries, only $181 million has been
pledged or mortgaged. Under the New Notes Indenture, up to 75% of the Net
Proceeds from Qualifying Net Asset Sales or from Refinancing Indebtedness (each
as defined in the New Notes Indenture) are to be used to redeem or repurchase
New Notes.
 
  Management believes that the covenants and other provisions of the Credit
Agreement will not materially restrict or inhibit the Company's ability to meet
its future financing needs.
 
                      RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND
                             MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL
 
  For the purpose of governing certain of the ongoing relationships between the
Company and Marriott International after the Distribution and to provide
mechanisms for an orderly transition, the Company and Marriott International
have entered into various agreements and have adopted policies, as described in
this section. The following are summaries of the principal terms of most such
agreements and do not purport to be complete. The following summaries are
qualified in their entirety by reference to the actual agreements which have
been previously filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
 
DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT
 
  Prior to the Distribution, the Company and Marriott International entered
into the Distribution Agreement, which provided for, among other things, (i)
certain asset transfers to occur prior to the Distribution (the "Assets
Transfers"), (ii) the Distribution, (iii) the division between the Company and
Marriott International of certain liabilities and (iv) certain other agreements
governing the relationship between the Company and Marriott International
following the Distribution.
 
 
                                       46
<PAGE>
 
  Subject to certain exceptions, the Distribution Agreement provides for, among
other things, assumptions of liabilities and cross-indemnities designed to
allocate, effective as of the Distribution, financial responsibility for the
liabilities arising out of or in connection with the Management Business to
Marriott International and its subsidiaries, and financial responsibility for
the liabilities arising out of or in connection with the Ownership Business and
Host/Travel Plazas Business, along with the Company's liabilities under a
substantial portion of its pre-existing financing and long-term debt
obligations, to the Company and its retained subsidiaries. The agreements
executed in connection with the Distribution Agreement also set forth certain
specific allocations of liabilities between the Company and Marriott
International.
 
  To avoid adversely affecting the intended tax consequences of the
Distribution and related transactions, the Distribution Agreement provides
that, until the second anniversary of the Distribution, Marriott International
must obtain an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company or a
supplemental tax ruling before Marriott International may make certain material
dispositions of its assets, engage in certain repurchases of Marriott
International capital stock or cease the active conduct of its business
independently, with its own employees and without material changes. The Company
must also obtain an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to Marriott
International or a supplemental tax ruling before the Company may engage in
similar transactions during such period. The Company does not expect these
limitations to inhibit significantly its operations, growth opportunities or
its ability to respond to unanticipated developments.
 
  Under the Distribution Agreement, Marriott International has a right (the
"Marriott International Purchase Right") to purchase up to 20% of each class of
the Company's voting stock (determined after assuming full exercise of the
right) at its then fair market value (based on an average of trading prices
during a specified period), upon the occurrence of certain specified events
generally involving a change in control of the Company. The Marriott
International Purchase Right terminates on October 8, 2003. The Marriott
International Purchase Right may have certain antitakeover effects as described
in "Antitakeover Effects of Certain Provisions of the Company's Certificate and
Bylaws and the Marriott International Purchase Right."
 
  In addition, under the Distribution Agreement, Marriott International has a
right of first offer if the Company decides to sell all or any substantial
portion of the business of the Company's Operating Group. Pursuant to such
right, prior to selling all or a substantial portion of such business to any
third-party, the Company must first offer to sell the Operating Group business
(or applicable portion thereof) to Marriott International. If Marriott
International declines to purchase the Operating Group business at a price
established by the Company, the Company will be free to sell such business for
a specified period of time to an unrelated third-party at a price at least
equal to 95% of the price offered to Marriott International and on terms and
conditions substantially consistent with those offered to Marriott
International. The right of first offer with respect to the Operating Group
business will terminate on October 8, 2003. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Company currently has no intention to sell or dispose of all or any significant
portion of the Operating Group business.
 
LODGING MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS
 
  Marriott International and certain of its subsidiaries entered into
management agreements with the Company and certain of its subsidiaries (the
"Lodging Management Agreements") to manage the Marriott Hotels, Resorts and
Suites, Courtyard hotels, Residence Inns and Fairfield Inns owned by the
Company and its subsidiaries as of October 8, 1993. There are four types of
Lodging Management Agreements corresponding to each line of Marriott lodging
facilities. The terms of each type of Lodging Management Agreement reflect
market terms and conditions and are substantially similar to the terms of
recently negotiated management agreements with third-party owners regarding
lodging facilities of the same type. A separate agreement was entered into with
respect to each individual lodging facility, or in certain cases a group of
lodging facilities, based on the appropriate form of Lodging Management
Agreement for lodging facilities of such type, with appropriate adjustments
made for properties subject to ground leases, existing mortgages or covenants,
conditions and other special factors relating to a particular lodging facility.
Each Lodging Management Agreement has an initial term of 20 years and, at the
option of Marriott International,
 
                                       47
<PAGE>
 
may be renewed for up to three additional terms of ten years each, aggregating
30 years, for a total term of up to 50 years. Each Lodging Management Agreement
for the Courtyard hotels, Fairfield Inns and Residence Inns (but not full
service hotels) is also subject to the terms of a Consolidation Agreement (the
"Consolidation Agreement") entered into between Marriott International and the
Company, pursuant to which (i) certain fees payable under the Lodging
Management Agreement with respect to a particular lodging facility will be
determined on a consolidated basis with certain fees payable under the Lodging
Management Agreements for all lodging facilities of the same type, and (ii)
certain base fees payable under Lodging Management Agreements with respect to a
particular lodging facility will be waived in return for payment of an
incentive fee upon the sale of such facility. Marriott International does not
have the right to set off amounts owed to the Company under any Lodging
Management Agreement against any other indebtedness or amounts due from the
Company although, under the Consolidation Agreement (which is discussed below),
all revenues collected, expenses incurred and management fees earned by
Marriott International under Lodging Management Agreements for the Company's
limited service hotels are aggregated on the basis of hotel product line. In
general, properties remain subject to the Lodging Management Agreement upon the
sale of such property to third parties. The principal terms of the four types
of Lodging Management Agreements, along with the Consolidation Agreement, are
summarized below.
 
  Under each Lodging Management Agreement for full service hotels, Marriott
International collects all revenue generated at a particular lodging property.
Marriott International holds such amounts on behalf of the Company in
segregated accounts and forwards to the Company every two weeks all amounts in
excess of certain expenses and management fees (as described more fully below).
Under the Lodging Management Agreements for the Company's limited service
hotels and the Consolidation Agreement (which is discussed below), all revenues
generated at the Company's limited service hotels are collected and aggregated
in a single segregated account for each limited service product line (i.e.,
Courtyard, Fairfield Inns and Residence Inns). Marriott International forwards
to the Company amounts in excess of aggregated expenses and management fees in
a manner similar to that for the full service hotels. Because amounts collected
by Marriott International are held on the Company's behalf, the Company does
not depend upon the creditworthiness of Marriott International for receipt of
such payments.
 
  Marriott Hotels, Resorts and Suites. The form of Lodging Management Agreement
for full service hotels in the Marriott Hotels, Resorts and Suites line
provides for a base management fee equal to three percent of annual gross
revenues plus an incentive management fee equal to 50 percent of "Available
Cash Flow" for each fiscal year (provided that the cumulative incentive
management fee may not on any date exceed 20 percent of the cumulative
operating profit of the hotel from the Distribution through such date).
"Available Cash Flow" is defined to be the excess of "Operating Profit" over
the "Owner's Priority." "Operating Profit" is defined generally in all forms of
Lodging Management Agreements as gross revenues, less all ordinary and
necessary operating expenses, including all base and system fees and
reimbursement for certain system-wide operating costs ("Chain Services"), as
well as a deduction to fund a required reserve for furniture, fixtures and
equipment, before any depreciation or amortization or similar fixed charges.
"Owner's Priority" in all forms of Lodging Management Agreements is derived
from an agreed upon base amount assigned to each lodging facility. Marriott
International is also entitled to reimbursement for certain costs attributable
to Chain Services of Marriott International. The Company has the option to
terminate the agreement if specified performance thresholds regarding Operating
Profit are not satisfied and if specified revenue market share tests are not
met (provided that Marriott International can elect to avoid such termination
by making cure payments to the extent necessary to allow the specified
Operating Profit thresholds to be satisfied).
   
  Since October 8, 1993, the Company has added eight full service hotels. See
"Prospectus Summary--Recent Development--Acquisitions." These properties are
managed by Marriott International using the Marriott brand name under
management agreements that were in place with the previous owners or that were
negotiated by the Company in connection with the acquisitions. The terms of the
contracts vary, but are generally similar, to the terms outlined above for
hotels owned at October 8, 1993.

  The Company intends to aggressively pursue further hotel acquisitions and it
is anticipated that the Company will engage Marriott International to manage
many of the hotels that are acquired.     
 
  Limited Service Hotels. The forms of Lodging Management Agreements for
Courtyard hotels, Residence Inns and Fairfield Inns provide for a system fee
equal to three percent (in the case of Courtyard hotels and Fairfield Inns) or
four percent (in the case of Residence Inns) of annual gross revenue, and a
base fee equal to two percent of annual gross revenues. The base fee is
deferred in favor of the Owner's Priority, and in any fiscal year in which the
base fee is greater than Operating Profit (prior to deduction of the base fee)
less Owner's Priority, the excess base fee is deferred, to be paid in a
subsequent fiscal year out of excess Operating Profit. Owner's Priority and
Operating Profit are determined in substantially the same manner as described
above for Marriott Hotels, Resorts and Suites. In addition, the agreements
provide for an incentive management fee equal to 50 percent of "Available Cash
Flow" for each fiscal year (provided that the cumulative incentive management
fee may not on any date exceed 20 percent of the cumulative Operating Profit of
the hotel through such date). "Available Cash Flow" is defined to be the excess
of Operating Profit (after deduction of the base fee, including any portion of
the base fee that is deferred or waived) over the Owner's Priority. Under such
forms of agreement, Marriott International is also entitled to reimbursement
for certain costs attributable to Chain Services of Marriott International. The
Company or its subsidiaries have the option to terminate the agreement if
specified performance thresholds regarding Operating Profit are not satisfied
and if specified revenue market share tests are not met (provided that Marriott
International can elect to avoid such termination by making cure payments to
the extent necessary to allow the specified Operating Profit thresholds to be
satisfied).
 
  Consolidation Agreement. Each Lodging Management Agreement for the Courtyard
hotels, Fairfield Inns and Residence Inns (but not full service hotels) is
subject to the terms of the Consolidation Agreement. Pursuant to the
Consolidation Agreement, certain revenues, expenses and fees payable under the
Lodging Management Agreements for Courtyard hotels, Residence Inns and
Fairfield Inns are consolidated by product line as set forth below. With
respect to any Courtyard hotels, Residence Inns or Fairfield Inns managed by
Marriott International under a Lodging Management Agreement, for so long as the
Company has not sold or financed any such lodging facility, then the
calculations, distributions and dispositions of gross revenues, reserves, base
fees, Owner's Priority, incentive management fees and system fees under the
Lodging Management Agreement with respect to such lodging facility will be
determined and reported on an aggregate basis, together with all such
facilities governed by a Lodging Management Agreement in the same product line.
After any such lodging facility is sold or financed, the Consolidation
Agreement will no longer be applicable to such facility, and the gross
revenues, reserves, base fee, Owner's Priority, incentive management fee and
system fee for such facility will be determined solely in accordance with the
Lodging Management Agreement applicable to such facility.
 
  In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Consolidation Agreement, the base
fee payable under the Lodging Management Agreements (other than Lodging
Management Agreements for full service hotels) is modified as set forth below.
Until December 31, 2000, in lieu of the base fees payable to Marriott
International with respect to the Courtyard hotels, Residence Inns and
Fairfield Inns managed by Marriott International under a Lodging Management
Agreement, Marriott International will receive a "Bonus Incentive Fee" upon the
sale of any of such facilities by the Company. The "Bonus Incentive Fee" is
defined to be 50 percent of the "Net Excess Sale Proceeds" resulting from the
sale of such facility (provided that the Bonus Incentive Fee shall not exceed
two percent of the cumulative gross revenues of such facility, from the date of
inception of the Lodging Management Agreement for such facility through the
earlier of December 31, 2000 or the date of sale). "Net Excess Sale Proceeds"
is defined to be the gross property sales price for the facility less (i) the
reasonable costs incurred by the Company in connection with the sale and (ii) a
base amount assigned to each lodging facility. Any future owners of such
facility, and the Company to the extent that it retains ownership of such
facility after December 31, 2000, will not be subject to the foregoing terms
and will be required to pay to Marriott International the base fee as set forth
in the Lodging Management Agreement applicable to such facility.

SENIOR LIVING SERVICES LEASE AGREEMENTS
 
  As part of the Distribution, Marriott International entered into lease
agreements with the Company (the "Senior Living Services Lease Agreements") to
operate the 14 senior living facilities (including one under development) then
owned by the Company and its subsidiaries. Under the terms of the Senior Living
Services Lease Agreements, Marriott International will pay or reimburse the
Company for all costs and expenses (including property taxes) associated with
the facilities, and in addition will pay the Company (i) fixed rentals,
aggregating $28 million a year for all 14 facilities and (ii) additional
rentals equal to 4.5 percent of annual revenues from operation of the
facilities in excess of $72 million per annum beginning in 1994. The Senior
Living Services Lease Agreements have initial terms of 20 years with renewal
options aggregating 20 years and contain other terms and conditions customary
for "triple net" leases.
 
  The Company has sold these 14 senior living communities to an unrelated party
for $320 million. In the second quarter of 1994, the sale of nine of the 14
senior living communities was completed and the sale of the five remaining
senior living communities was completed in the third quarter of 1994. See
"Prospectus Summary--Recent Development--Dispositions."
 
CREDIT AGREEMENT
 
  Marriott International and Holdings have entered into a Credit Agreement
pursuant to which Holdings has the right to borrow from Marriott International
up to $630 million. For a description of the Credit Agreement, see "Financing--
Credit Agreement."
 
PHILADELPHIA MORTGAGE
 
  Marriott International is providing first mortgage financing for a portion of
the development and construction costs for the Philadelphia Marriott hotel (the
"Philadelphia Convention Center Hotel") being constructed by the Company
pursuant to a mortgage financing agreement (the "Philadelphia Mortgage")
entered into between the Company and Marriott International. The Philadelphia
Mortgage provides for the funding of a portion (approximately 60 percent) of
the construction and development costs of such hotel, as and when such costs
are incurred, up to a maximum of $125 million of funding. The Philadelphia
Mortgage (i) is a two-year construction loan, convertible into a two-year
"mini-perm" facility upon completion of construction, carrying a floating
interest rate of LIBOR plus 300 basis points, and (ii) will, upon maturity of
the two-year mini-perm, fund into a ten-year term loan, bearing cash-pay
interest at the rate of ten percent per annum, plus deferred interest of two
percent per annum. The Philadelphia Mortgage is due on sale of the property (or
any majority interest therein) and is subject to other terms and conditions
customary for first mortgage financings of this type.
 
TAX SHARING AGREEMENT
 
  The Company and Marriott International have entered into a tax sharing
agreement (the "Tax Sharing Agreement") that defines the parties' rights and
obligations with respect to deficiencies and refunds of federal, state and
other income or franchise taxes relating to the Company's businesses for tax
years prior to the Distribution and with respect to certain tax attributes of
the Company after the Distribution. In general, with respect to periods ending
on or before the last day of 1993, the Company is responsible for (i) filing
both consolidated federal tax returns for the Company affiliated group and
combined or consolidated state tax returns for any group that includes a member
of the Company affiliated group, including in each case Marriott International
and its subsidiaries for the relevant periods of time that such companies were
members of the applicable group, and (ii) paying the taxes relating to such
returns (including any subsequent adjustments resulting from the
redetermination of such tax liabilities by the applicable taxing authorities).
Marriott International will reimburse the Company for the portion of such taxes
relating to the Management Business. Marriott International is responsible for
filing returns and paying taxes related to the Management Business for
subsequent periods. The Company and Marriott International have agreed to
cooperate with each other and to share information in preparing such tax
returns and in dealing with other tax matters.

HOST CONSULTING AGREEMENT
 
  Pursuant to the Host Consulting Agreement, effective October 8, 1993,
Marriott International has agreed to provide certain consulting and advisory
services to the Company and its subsidiaries with respect to certain
operational matters involving the Operating Group business (formerly known as
the "Host/Travel Plazas Business"). The Host Consulting Agreement has an annual
base fee of $500,000 and runs for an initial three-year term and thereafter
will automatically renew for additional one-year terms unless cancelled by
either party. If services under the Host Consulting Agreement require more than
500 employee-hours, Marriott International will be paid an additional amount
equal to 200 percent of the hourly compensation payable to the employee
providing such consulting services. The Host Consulting Agreement reflects the
fact that the Host/Travel Plazas business comprising a portion of the Operating
Group business was in the past included within the Company's contract services
segment, most of which was transferred to Marriott International. Accordingly,
certain of the key executive employees of the contract services group who were
transferred to Marriott International will continue to provide certain advisory
services to the management of the Company with respect to operating and
personnel matters.
 
ASSIGNMENT AND LICENSE AGREEMENT
 
  Pursuant to the terms of an Assignment and License Agreement, all of the
Company's right, title and interest in certain trademarks, including the
trademarks "Marriott," "Courtyard," "Residence Inns by Marriott" and "Fairfield
Inns by Marriott," were conveyed to Marriott International. The Company and its
subsidiaries have been granted a license to use such trademarks in their
corporate names and in connection with the Host/Travel Plazas Business, subject
to specified terms and conditions.
 
NONCOMPETITION AGREEMENT
 
  The Company and Marriott International entered into a noncompetition
agreement (the "Noncompetition Agreement") that defines the parties' rights and
obligations with respect to certain businesses operated by Marriott
International and the Company. Under the Noncompetition Agreement, the Company
and its subsidiaries are prohibited from entering into, or acquiring an
ownership interest in any entity that operates, any business that competes with
the food and facilities management business as conducted by a former subsidiary
of the Company, Marriott Management Services, Inc. ("MMS," with such business
being referred to as the "MMS Business"), provided that such restrictions do
not apply to businesses that constitute part of the Host/Travel Plazas Business
as of the Distribution. Marriott International is prohibited from entering
into, or acquiring an ownership interest in any entity that operates any
business that competes with the Host/Travel Plazas Business, provided that such
restrictions do not apply to businesses that constitute part of the MMS
Business as of the Distribution. The Noncompetition Agreement confirms the
Company's right to compete in the hotel management business subject to certain
prohibited transactions. The Noncompetition Agreement has a seven-year term
that commenced on October 8, 1993.
 
TRANSITIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENTS
 
  Marriott International and the Company entered into a number of agreements
pursuant to which Marriott International has agreed to provide certain
continuing services to the Company and its subsidiaries for a transitional
period. Such services are to be provided on market terms and conditions.
Subject to the termination provisions of the specific agreements, the Company
and its subsidiaries are free to procure such services from outside vendors or
may develop an in-house capability in order to provide such services
internally. The Company believes that these agreements are based on
commercially reasonable terms including pricing and payment terms. In general,
the transitional services agreements can be kept in place at least through
1997. The Company has the right to terminate such agreements upon giving 180
day (or less) notice.

POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR ADDRESSING CONFLICTS
 
  The on-going relationships between Marriott International and the Company may
present certain conflict situations for Messrs. J.W. Marriott, Jr. and Richard
E. Marriott, because J.W. Marriott, Jr. serves as Chairman of the Board of
Directors and President of Marriott International and also serves as a director
of the Company and Richard E. Marriott serves as Chairman of the Board of
Directors of the Company and also serves as a director of Marriott
International. Messrs. J.W. Marriott, Jr. and Richard E. Marriott, as well as
other executive officers and directors of the Company and Marriott
International, also own (or have options or other rights to acquire) a
significant number of shares of common stock in both the Company and Marriott
International. The Company and Marriott International have adopted appropriate
policies and procedures to be followed by the Board of Directors of each
company to limit the involvement of Messrs. J.W. Marriott, Jr. and Richard E.
Marriott (or such other executive officers and directors having a significant
ownership interest in both companies) in conflict situations, including matters
relating to contractual relationships or litigation between the companies. Such
procedures include requiring Messrs. J.W. Marriott, Jr. and Richard E. Marriott
(or such other executive officers or directors having a significant ownership
interest in both companies) to abstain from making management decisions in
their capacities as officers of Marriott International and the Company,
respectively, and to abstain from voting as directors of either company, with
respect to matters that present a significant conflict of interest between the
companies. Whether or not a significant conflict of interest situation exists
is determined on a case-by-case basis depending on such factors as the dollar
value of the matter, the degree of personal interest of Messrs. J.W. Marriott,
Jr. or Richard E. Marriott (or such other executive officers and directors
having a significant ownership interest in both companies) in the matter, the
interests of the shareholders of the Company and the likelihood that resolution
of the matter has significant strategic, operational or financial implications
for the business of the Company. It is a principal responsibility of the
general counsel of the Company to monitor this issue in consultation with the
Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. See "Risk Factors--Potential
Conflicts with Marriott International."

(6) Pursuant to the Employee Benefits Allocation Agreement, the intercompany
    agreement between Host Marriott and Marriott International regarding

    participant in the Marriott Corporation Restricted Stock Plan received one
    share of Marriott International Common Stock for each share of Marriott
    Corporation common stock held by the plan participant on the Distribution
    Date. Both the Marriott Corporation restricted shares (now Host Marriott
    Corporation shares) and Marriott International restricted shares are
    subject to continued employment and other vesting conditions. In accordance
    with the Employee Benefits Allocation Agreement, each participant in the
    Marriott Corporation Deferred Plan could elect to receive either one share
    of Company Stock and one share of Marriott International Common Stock or an
    equivalent value entirely in Company Common Stock. As a result of this
    election, Messrs. J.W. Marriott, R.E. Marriott, Shaw, McCarten, Hart and
    McKenna elected to convert their outstanding Deferred Bonus Stock Awards
    into one share each of Company Common stock and Marriott International
    Common Stock. Mr. Bollenbach elected to convert his outstanding awards
    entirely into shares of Company Stock. Mr. Tiefel elected to convert his
    outstanding awards entirely into shares of Marriott International Common
    Stock. In all cases, the value of the award immediately after the
    adjustment was equal to the value of the award immediately before the
    adjustment.
(7) The Deferred Stock Bonus Awards granted by the Company are generally
    derived based on dividing twenty percent of each individual's annual cash
    bonus award by the average of the high and low trading prices for a share
    of Company Common Stock on the last trading day of the fiscal year. No
    voting rights or dividends are attributed to award shares until such award
    shares are distributed. Awards may be denominated as current awards or
    deferred awards. A current award is distributed in 10 annual installments
    commencing one year after the award is granted. A deferred award is
    distributed in a lump sum or in up to 10 installments following termination
    of employment. Deferred award shares contingently vest pro rata in annual
    installments commencing one year after the Deferred Stock Bonus Award is
    granted to the employee. Awards are not subject to forfeiture once the
    employee reaches age 55 or after 10 years of service with the Company. The
    aggregate number and value of shares of
 
                                       58

     in which any restrictions apply, holders of restricted stock are entitled
     to receive all dividends or other distributions paid with respect to such
     stock.

(1) In connection with the Distribution, and pursuant to the Company's 1976
    Employee Stock Option Plan, all Company stock options were adjusted to
    reflect the effects of the Distribution. Each non-qualified stock option
    held by a Company employee (or retiree) prior to the Distribution was
    effectively converted into two separate options: a Company option and a
    Marriott International Option, in both cases for a number of shares equal
    to the underlying Company option. The exercise price of the underlying
    Company option was allocated to the two options pursuant to a formula
    designed to preserve the economic value of the underlying Company option
    prior to the Distribution. Each incentive stock option held by an employee
    remaining a Company employee after the Distribution was adjusted in number
    and as to the exercise price in order to preserve the economic value of
    each such incentive stock option immediately prior to the Distribution.
(2) Based on a per share price for Company Common Stock of $9.19 and a per
    share price for Marriott International of $28.69. These prices represent
    the average of the high and low trading prices for a share on December 31,
    1993.

  Long-Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP") Awards. Table III below sets forth
information regarding Restricted Stock Awards subject to certain performance
criteria granted by the Company under the Comprehensive Stock Plan and
previously awarded by the Company under the Company's Restricted Stock Plan to
the persons listed on Table I above in respect of the 1993 fiscal year.
 
  The Board of Directors may, upon the recommendation of its Compensation
Policy Committee, award to certain key employees shares of restricted stock
which vest upon satisfaction of specified performance objectives. The award of
such performance-restricted stock is maintained in the name of the recipient in
an account at the transfer agent and is restricted from further transfer, sale,
alienation or hypothecation, until such time as the conditions restricting
transfer have been satisfied. Such conditions include continued employment,
non-competition, proper conduct, and attainment of specified Company business
objectives. While such restricted shares are maintained on account, the award
recipient is entitled to vote such shares. Upon satisfaction of the business
objectives and all other conditions, the shares are released from restrictions
and may be sold or transferred by the employee. The performance objectives for
1994 relate to cash coverage of interest, maintaining an acceptable level of
total Company debt in relation to total cash flow, free cash flow, favorable
asset dispositions or financings, stock price appreciation and utilizing the
strategic alliance with Marriott International to expand the Company's
portfolio of full service Marriott hotels.

                              CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
 
NEW YORK MARRIOTT MARQUIS
 
  In 1985, the Company sold for $10.03 million a 10.32% equity interest in the
Times Square Hotel Company partnership ("TSHCO"), owner of the New York
Marriott Marquis Hotel, to MM Times Square Hotel Investors ("MM Times Square"),
a limited partnership which includes J.W. Marriott, Jr. and Richard E. Marriott
as partners. The Company received cash at closing of $3.15 million and a $6.88
million nonrecourse promissory note due September 1, 2015 with interest at 12%
per annum, collateralized by the ownership interest sold. At the same time, the
Company sold a 28.68% interest in TSHCO to an unrelated third-party for
approximately $26.3 million on essentially the same terms.
 
                                       61
<PAGE>
 
  Preliminary agreements were reached in 1991 with the purchaser of the 28.68%
interest, and in 1992 with MM Times Square, to restructure the respective
promissory notes payable to the Company. During the fourth quarter of 1992, the
purchaser of the 28.68% interest informed the Company that he would not be
making further payments on his promissory note. In view of this action, the
restructurings of the promissory notes with both TSHCO and MM Times Square were
discontinued and, in the first quarter of 1994, the Company foreclosed on the
28.68% interest. The Company also accepted from MM Times Square a transfer of a
7.23% equity interest in TSHCO in exchange for cancellation of the outstanding
debt. The Company currently holds an 86% interest in TSHCO, which is
consolidated in the Company's financial statements. See "Prospectus Summary--
Recent Developments--New York Marriott Marquis."
 
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL
 
  The Company and its subsidiaries and Marriott International and its
subsidiaries have entered into certain relationships following the
Distribution. By reason of their ownership of shares of common stock of
Marriott International and their positions as Chairman and director,
respectively, J.W. Marriott, Jr. and Richard E. Marriott, who also are a
director and Chairman, respectively, of the Company, would be deemed in control
of Marriott International within the meaning of the federal securities laws.
Other members of the Marriott family might also be deemed control persons of
Marriott International by reason of their ownership of shares of Marriott
International and/or their relationship to other family members.
 
  Prior to the Distribution, the Company and Marriott International entered
into the Distribution Agreement, which provided for, among other things, (i)
certain asset transfers to occur prior to the Distribution, (ii) the
Distribution, (iii) the division between the Company and Marriott International
of certain liabilities and (iv) certain other agreements governing the
relationship between the Company and Marriott International following the
Distribution. See "Relationship Between the Company and Marriott
International."
 
SALE OF LAND PARCEL
 
  During the second quarter of 1994, a subsidiary of the Company sold a parcel
of land in San Antonio, Texas to JWM Family Enterprises, L.P., a partnership
which is comprised of members of J.W. Marriott, Jr.'s immediate family. The
purchase price of $1.3 million was determined by using an appraisal prepared by
an unaffiliated, professional land appraisal firm. The partnership intends to
develop a Residence Inn on the land.
 
                        OWNERSHIP OF COMPANY SECURITIES
 
  As of February 28, 1994, the Company had two outstanding classes of equity or
equity-linked securities: Common Stock and Convertible Preferred Stock. None of
the directors, nominees or executive officers owns shares of Convertible
Preferred Stock.
 
  Based upon a Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on September 27, 1993, the Company believes that a group including Gotham
Capital III, L.P., Alfred Partners, L.P., Joel M. Greenblatt and Daniel L. Nir,
each with an address of 100 Jericho Quadrangle, Jericho, New York, 11753,
beneficially own 220,200 depositary shares representing 220.2 shares of the
Convertible Preferred Stock. Such holdings represented 75.41% of the
approximately 286,000 depositary shares of Convertible Preferred Stock
outstanding as of February 28, 1994, and are convertible into approximately
4,219,000 shares of Company Common Stock.
 
  Except as indicated in the footnotes thereto, set forth below is the
ownership as of February 28, 1994 of Common Stock by directors, the chief
executive officer and the four additional most highly compensated executive
officers and certain former executive officers of the Company, as well as by
all directors and
 
                                       62

executive officers (including such former executive officers) of the Company as

                          DESCRIPTION OF THE WARRANTS
 
GENERAL
   
  As part of the Class Action Settlement and pursuant to that certain
Stipulation and Agreement of Compromise and Settlement dated as of June 16,
1993 (the "Settlement Agreement"), the Company has agreed to issue the Warrants
to the Initial Warrantholders as described in "Plan of Distribution." The
Company will issue the Warrants pursuant to a Warrant Agreement (the "Warrant
Agreement") between the Company and First Chicago Trust Company of New York, as
Warrant Agent, in the manner described more fully in "Plan of Distribution."
The following summary of certain provisions of the Warrant Agreement does not
purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by
reference to, all the provisions of the Warrant Agreement, including the
definition of certain terms therein. A copy of the Warrant Agreement has been
filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this Prospectus is a
part. Wherever particular sections or defined terms of the Warrant Agreement
not otherwise defined herein are referred to, such section or defined terms
shall be incorporated herein by reference.     
 
  The Warrants will be evidenced by warrant certificates (the "Warrant
Certificates"), a form of which is attached as an exhibit to the Warrant
Agreement. Each Warrant entitles the Warrantholder, at any time prior to 5:00
p.m. on October 8, 1998 (the "Expiration Time"), to purchase one share of
Common Stock from the Company at a price (the "Exercise Price") of (i) $8.00,
if exercised on or before 5:00 p.m. New York City time on October 8, 1996, or
(ii) $10.00, if exercised after 5:00 p.m. New York City time on October 8,
1996, but on or before 5:00 p.m. New York City time on October 8, 1998. Both
the Exercise Price and the number of shares subject to the Warrants are subject
to certain adjustments, as described below. Warrants that are not exercised
prior to the Expiration Time expire and become void.
 
  Warrantholders will not be entitled to vote or to consent or to receive
notice as shareholders in respect of the meeting of shareholders or the
election of Directors of the Company or any other matter, or possess any rights
whatsoever as shareholders of the Company.
 
  The Company has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the
effectiveness under the Securities Act of the registration statement of which
this Prospectus is a part until the earlier of the Expiration Time or the date
on which all Warrants have been exercised, subject to the Company's right to
discontinue the effectiveness of such registration statement for such periods
as the Company determines are necessary and appropriate (any such period
referred to as a "Suspension Period"). The Company expects to exercise its
right to discontinue the effectiveness of the registration statement only (i)
if it determines that, based on circumstances arising after the date hereof,
the registration statement contains an untrue statement of material fact or
omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein in order to make
the statements therein not misleading or (ii) as may otherwise be required
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. During the pendency of any
Suspension Period, no Warrants may be exercised and no shares of Common Stock
may be issued upon the exercise of any Warrant.
   
  The Company has also agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain any
required approvals or registration under state securities laws for the issuance
of the Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants. Under the Warrant Agreement,
however, Warrants may not be exercised by, or shares of Common Stock issued to,
any Warrantholder in any state where such exercise or issuance would be
unlawful.     
 
  The Warrants have no established trading market and no assurance can be given
that any such markets will develop. The Company does not intend to apply to
list the Warrants on any stock exchange. See "Risk Factors--No Trading Market
for the Warrants."
 
EXERCISE OF THE WARRANTS
 
  The Warrants are exercisable at the election of the holder, in full or from
time to time in part, at any time prior to the Expiration Time, except that
Warrants may not be exercised during a Suspension Period. In
 
                                       65
<PAGE>
 
the event of partial exercise of Warrants evidenced by a Warrant Certificate, a
new certificate evidencing the remaining Warrant or Warrants will be issued.
 
  To exercise all or any of the Warrants represented by a Warrant Certificate,
the Warrantholder is required to surrender to the Warrant Agent the Warrant
Certificate, a duly executed copy of the Form of Election to Purchase (which is
set forth in the Warrant Certificate) and payment in full of the Exercise Price
for each share of Common Stock as to which a Warrant is exercised, which
payment may be made in cash or by certified or official bank check to the order
of the Company.
 
  Upon the exercise of any Warrants in accordance with the Warrant Agreement,
the Company will issue and cause to be delivered to, or upon the written order
of, the holder, in such name or names as the Warrantholder may designate, a
certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock
issuable upon the exercise of Warrants. Any shares of Common Stock issuable by
the Company upon the exercise of the Warrants must be validly issued, fully
paid and non-assessable.
 
PAYMENT OF TAXES AND OTHER COSTS
 
  Warrantholders are required to pay any and all taxes payable (a) in respect
of the issuance of the Warrants or of the shares of Common Stock upon the
exercise of Warrants and (b) in respect of any transfer of any Warrant
Certificate or the issuance of any certificate for shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of Warrants in a name other than that of the registered
holder of the Warrant Certificates surrendered upon the exercise of the
Warrant.
 
  Any Warrantholder requesting transfer or exchange of any Warrant Certificates
pursuant to the Warrant Agreement is also required to pay any and all costs and
expenses of such transfer or exchange (including without limitation the fees
and expenses of the Warrant Agent in connection therewith).
 
  The Company is not required to issue or deliver, transfer or exchange new
Warrant Certificates or issue or deliver shares of Common Stock upon exercise
of the Warrants unless and until the person requesting such issuance, delivery,
transfer or exchange shall have paid to the Company the amount of such taxes,
costs and expenses or established to the Company's satisfaction that such
taxes, costs and expenses have been paid.
 
NO FRACTIONAL SHARES
 
  The Company will not issue warrants to purchase fractional shares of Common
Stock. As a result, the Warrants to which each Initial Warrantholder is
entitled will be rounded downward where the fractional portion of such
entitlement, if any, involves less than one-half of a Warrant or upward where
the fractional portion of such entitlement, if any, involves one-half or more
of a Warrant, subject to the overall limitation on the issuance of Warrants. In
the event of certain transactions described below, the number of shares of
Common Stock that may be purchased upon the exercise of each Warrant is subject
to adjustment. See "--Adjustment Provisions" below. The Company will not issue
fractional shares of Common Stock on the exercise of Warrants otherwise
issuable as a result of any of the aforementioned adjustments. If any fraction
of a share of Common Stock would be issuable on the exercise of any Warrants
(or portion thereof), the Company will pay to the exercising Warrantholders (in
lieu of issuance of such fractional share of Common Stock) an amount of cash
equal to the Exercise Price on the date the Warrant is presented for exercise,
multiplied by such fraction.
 
ADJUSTMENT PROVISIONS
 
  The number of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased upon the exercise
of each Warrant and the Exercise Price are each subject to adjustment in the
event of certain transactions involving the Company, including (a)(i) issuing
shares of Common Stock as a stock dividend to the holders of Common Stock; (ii)
subdividing or combining the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater
or lesser number of shares; (iii) issuing shares of its capital stock other
than Common Stock as a distribution to the holders of Common
 
                                       66
<PAGE>
 
Stock; (iv) issuing by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of its
capital stock, (b) distributing any rights, options or warrants to all holders
of Common Stock entitling such holders to purchase shares of Common Stock at a
price per share less than the current market price per share on the record date
for such distribution, and (c) distributing to all holders of Common Stock any
of the assets or any rights or warrants to purchase assets or other securities
of the Company.
 
  In case of any consolidation, merger or sale of all or substantially all of
the assets of the Company, upon the consummation of the transaction, the
Warrants automatically become exercisable for the kind and amount of
securities, cash or other assets which the holder of a Warrant would have owned
immediately after the consolidation, merger, transfer or lease if the holder
had exercised the Warrant immediately before the effective date of the
transaction.
 
                          DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
 
  The following description of the Company's capital stock is a summary and is
subject in all respects to applicable Delaware law and to the provisions of the
Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation and shareholder's rights plan
listed as exhibits to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a
part.
 
GENERAL
   
  The Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as corrected (the
"Company Certificate"), authorizes the issuance of a total of 301 million
shares of all classes of stock, of which one million may be shares of preferred
stock, without par value, and 300 million may be shares of Common Stock. At
June 17, 1994, approximately 152.4 million shares of Common Stock were
outstanding. The Company Certificate provides that the Board is authorized to
provide for the issuance of shares of preferred stock, from time to time, in
one or more series, and to fix any voting powers, full or limited or none, and
the designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other
special rights, applicable to the shares to be included in any such series and
any qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereon.     
 
COMMON STOCK
 
  Voting Rights. Each holder of Common Stock is entitled to one vote for each
share registered in his name on the books of the Company on all matters
submitted to a vote of shareholders. Except as otherwise provided by law, the
holders of Common Stock vote as one class. The shares of Common Stock do not
have cumulative voting rights. As a result, subject to the voting rights, if
any, of the holders of any shares of the Company's preferred stock which may at
the time be outstanding, the holders of Common Stock entitled to exercise more
than 50% of the voting rights in an election of directors will be able to elect
100% of the directors to be elected if they choose to do so. In such event, the
holders of the remaining Common Stock voting for the election of directors will
not be able to elect any persons to the Board of Directors. The Company
Certificate provides that the Board of Directors is classified into three
classes, each serving a three year term, with one class to be elected in each
of three consecutive years.
 
  Dividend Rights. Subject to the rights of the holders of any shares of the
Company's preferred stock which may at the time be outstanding, holders of
Common Stock are entitled to such dividends as the Board of Directors may
declare out of funds legally available therefor. The Company intends to retain
future earnings for use in its business and does not currently intend to pay
dividends. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains restrictions on the
payment of dividends on the Common Stock. See "Dividend Policies."
 
  Liquidation Rights and Other Provisions. Subject to the prior rights of
creditors and the holders of any of the Company's preferred stock which may be
outstanding from time to time, the holders of Common Stock are entitled in the
event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up to share pro rata in the
distribution of all remaining assets. The Common Stock is not liable for any
calls or assessments and is not convertible into any
 
                                       67
<PAGE>
 
other securities. The Company Certificate provides that the private property of
the shareholders shall not be subject to the payment of corporate debts. There
are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Common Stock,
and the Company Certificate provides that there shall be no preemptive rights.
 
  The transfer agent and registrar for the Common Stock is The First National
Bank of Boston.
 
RIGHTS AND JUNIOR PREFERRED STOCK
 
  The Company has adopted a shareholder rights plan as set forth in that
certain Rights Agreement dated February 3, 1989, as amended, between the
Company and the Bank of New York, as rights agent (the "Rights Agreement"). The
following is a summary of the terms of the Rights Agreement.
 
  Rights. Following the occurrence of certain events (the "Occurrence Date")
and except as described below, each right (a "Right," and, collectively, the
"Rights") will entitle the registered holder thereof to purchase from the
Company one one-thousandth of a share (a "Unit") of the Company's Series A
Junior Participating Preferred Stock ("Junior Preferred Stock") at a price (the
"Purchase Price") of $150 per Unit, subject to adjustment. The Rights are not
exercisable until the Occurrence Date. The Rights expire on the tenth
anniversary of the adoption of the Rights Agreement, unless exercised in
connection with a transaction of the type described below or unless earlier
redeemed by the Company.
 
  Until a Right is exercised, the holder thereof, as such, will have no rights
as a shareholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to
vote or to receive dividends.
 
  Initially, ownership of the Rights will be attached to all Common Stock
certificates representing shares then outstanding, and no separate certificates
representing the Rights (the "Rights Certificates") will be distributed. Until
the Occurrence Date (or earlier redemption or expiration of the Rights), the
Rights will be transferable only with the Common Stock, and the surrender or
transfer of any certificate of Common Stock will also constitute the transfer
of the Rights associated with the Common Stock represented by such certificate.
The Rights will separate from the Common Stock and an Occurrence Date will
occur upon the earlier of (i) 10 days following the date (a "Stock Acquisition
Date") of a public announcement that a person or group of affiliates or
associated persons (an "Acquiring Person") has acquired, or obtained the right
to acquire, beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the outstanding Common Stock
or (ii) 10 business days following the commencement of or announcement of an
intention to make a tender offer or exchange offer, the consummation of which
would result in the Acquiring Person becoming the beneficial owner of 30% or
more of such outstanding Common Stock (such date being called the Occurrence
Date).
 
  For purposes of the Rights Agreement, a person shall not be deemed to
beneficially own "Exempt Shares" which include (i) shares of Common Stock
acquired by such person by gift, bequest and certain other transfers, which
shares were Exempt Shares immediately prior to such transfer and were held by
such person continuously thereafter and (ii) shares acquired by such person in
connection with certain distributions of Common Stock with respect to Exempt
Shares which were held by such person continuously thereafter. In connection
with the Distribution, the Board amended the Rights Agreement to provide that
the shares of Common Stock acquired by Marriott International upon exercise of
the Marriott International Purchase Right will be deemed "Exempt Shares" under
the Rights Agreement, such that the exercise of such right by Marriott
International will not cause Marriott International to be deemed an "Acquiring
Person" under the Rights Agreement and thus trigger a distribution of the
Rights. See "Relationship Between the Company and Marriott International--
Marriott International Purchase Right."
 
  As soon as practicable following an Occurrence Date, Rights Certificates will
be mailed to holders of record of Common Stock as of the close of business on
the Occurrence Date. After such time, such separate Rights Certificates alone
will evidence the Rights and could trade independently from the Common Stock.
 
  In the event (i) the Company is the surviving corporation in a merger with an
Acquiring Person and the Common Stock is not changed or exchanged, or (ii) an
Acquiring Person becomes the beneficial owner of
 
                                       68
<PAGE>
 
30% or more of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock (except pursuant to
an offer for all outstanding shares of Common Stock which the Board determines
to be fair to and otherwise in the best interests of the Company and its
shareholders), each holder of a Right will, in lieu of the right to receive one
one-thousandth of a share of Junior Preferred Stock, thereafter have the right
to receive, upon exercise, Common Stock (or, in certain circumstances, cash,
property or other securities of the Company) having a value equal to two times
the exercise price of the Right. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing,
following the occurrence of any of the events set forth in this paragraph, all
Rights that are (or, under certain circumstances specified in the Rights
Agreement, were) beneficially owned by any Acquiring Person will be null and
void. However, the Rights are not exercisable following the occurrence of
either of the events set forth above until such time as the Rights are no
longer redeemable by the Company as set forth below.
 
  For example, at an exercise price of $150 per Right, each Right not owned by
an Acquiring Person (or by certain related parties) following an event set
forth in the preceding paragraph would entitle its holder to purchase $300
worth of Common Stock (or other consideration, as noted above) for $150.
Assuming that the Common Stock had a per share value of $30 at such time, the
holder of each valid Right would be entitled to purchase 10 shares of Common
Stock for $150.
 
  In the event that, at any time following the Stock Acquisition Date, (i) the
Company is acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction in
which the Company is not the surviving corporation (other than a merger
described in the second preceding paragraph or a merger which follows an offer
described in the second preceding paragraph), or (ii) 50% or more of the
Company's assets or earning power is sold or transferred, each holder of a
Right (except Rights which previously have been voided as set forth above)
shall thereafter have the right to receive, upon exercise, common stock of the
acquiring company having a value equal to two times the exercise price of the
Right.
 
  In general, the Board may redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part, at any
time until 10 days following the Stock Acquisition Date, at a price of $.01 per
Right. After the redemption period has expired, the Company's right of
redemption may be reinstated if an Acquiring Person reduces its beneficial
ownership to 10% or less of the outstanding shares of Common Stock in a
transaction or series of transactions not involving the Company. Immediately
upon the action of the Board ordering redemption of the Rights, the Rights will
terminate and the only right of the holders of Rights will be to receive the
$.01 per Right redemption price.
 
  The purchase price payable, and the number of shares of Junior Preferred
Stock or other securities or property issuable upon exercise of the Rights are
subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events with respect to the
Company, including stock dividends, sub-divisions, combinations,
reclassifications, rights or warrants offerings of Junior Preferred Stock at
less than the then current market price and certain distributions of property
or evidences of indebtedness of the Company to holders of Junior Preferred
Stock, all as set forth in the Rights Agreement.
 
  The Rights have certain anti-takeover effects. The Rights may cause
substantial dilution to a person or group that attempts to acquire the Company
on terms not approved by the Board of Directors, except pursuant to an offer
conditioned on a substantial number of Rights being acquired. The Rights should
not interfere with any merger or other business combination approved by the
Board of Directors since the Rights may be redeemed by the Company as set forth
above. See "Purposes and Antitakeover Effects of Certain Provisions of the
Company Certificate and Bylaws and the Marriott International Purchase Right."
 
  Junior Preferred Stock. In connection with the Rights Agreement, 300,000
shares of Junior Preferred Stock are authorized and reserved for issuance by
the Board. No shares of Junior Preferred Stock are currently outstanding. The
following statements with respect to the Junior Preferred Stock are subject to
the detailed provisions of the Company Certificate and the certificate of
designation relating to the Junior Preferred Stock (the "Junior Preferred Stock
Certificate of Designation"). The material terms of the Junior
 
                                       69
<PAGE>
 
Preferred Stock are summarized herein; however, such summary is subject to the
terms of the Company Certificate and the Junior Preferred Stock Certificate of
Designation.
 
  Subject to the prior payment of cumulative dividends on any class of
preferred stock ranking senior to the Junior Preferred Stock, a holder of
Junior Preferred Stock will be entitled to cumulative dividends out of funds
legally available therefor, when, as and if declared by the Board, at a
quarterly rate per share of Junior Preferred Stock equal to the greater of (a)
$10.00 or (b) 1,000 times (subject to adjustment upon certain dilutive events)
the aggregate per share amount of all cash dividends and 1,000 times (subject
to adjustment upon certain dilutive events) the aggregate per share amount
(payable in kind) of all non-cash dividends or other distributions (other than
dividends payable in Common Stock or a sub-division of the outstanding shares
of Common Stock) declared on Common Stock, since the immediately preceding
quarterly dividend payment date for the Junior Preferred Stock (or since the
date of issuance of the Junior Preferred Stock if no such dividend payment date
has occurred).
 
  A holder of Junior Preferred Stock will be entitled to 1,000 votes (subject
to adjustment upon certain dilutive events) per share of Junior Preferred Stock
on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders of the Company. Such holders
will vote together with the holders of the Common Stock as a single class on
all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders of the Company.
 
  In the event of a merger or consolidation of the Company which results in
Common Stock being exchanged or changed for other stock, securities, cash
and/or other property, the shares of Junior Preferred Stock shall similarly be
exchanged or changed in an amount per share equal to 1,000 times (subject to
adjustment upon certain dilutive events) the aggregate amount of stock,
securities, cash and/or other property, as the case may be, into which each
share of Common Stock has been exchanged or changed.
 
  In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, a
holder of Junior Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive $1,000 per share,
plus accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions thereon, before any
distribution may be made to holders of shares of stock of the Company ranking
junior to the Junior Preferred Stock, and the holders of Junior Preferred Stock
are entitled to receive an aggregate amount per share equal to 1,000 times
(subject to adjustment upon certain dilutive events) the aggregate amount to be
distributed per share to holders of Common Stock.
 
  In the event that dividends on the Junior Preferred Stock are in arrears in
an amount equal to six quarterly dividends thereon, all holders of Junior
Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class with the holders of any other
series of preferred stock of the Company with dividends in arrears, will be
entitled to elect two Directors pursuant to provisions of the Company
Certificate. Such right to elect two additional directors shall continue at
each annual meeting until all dividends in arrears (including the then-current
quarterly dividend payment) have been paid or declared and set apart for
payment. Upon payment or declaration and reservation of funds for payment of
all such dividends, the term of office of each director elected shall
immediately terminate and the number of directors shall be such number as may
be provided for in the Company Certificate or Bylaws.
 
  The Junior Preferred Stock is not subject to redemption. The terms of the
Junior Preferred Stock provide that the Company is subject to certain
restrictions with respect to dividends and distributions on and redemptions and
purchases of shares of stock of the Company ranking junior to or on a parity
with the Junior Preferred Stock in the event that payments of dividends or
other distributions payable on the Junior Preferred Stock are in arrears.
 
CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
 
  The Company has outstanding 282,000 depositary shares of Convertible
Preferred Stock, each having a liquidation preference of $50 per depositary
share plus an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon. The
Distribution did not affect the terms of the Convertible Preferred Stock, which
are set forth in
 
                                       70
<PAGE>
 
the Company's Certificate of Designation with respect to the Convertible
Preferred Stock (the "Convertible Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation").
However, pursuant to Section 5(e)(iv) of the Convertible Preferred Stock
Certificate of Designation, the conversion price at which the Convertible
Preferred Stock is convertible into Common Stock after the Distribution was
adjusted from $17.40 per share to $2.61 per share. At the current conversion
price of $2.61 per share, the 282,000 outstanding depositary shares of the
Convertible Preferred Stock are convertible into approximately 5.4 million
shares of Common Stock.
   
  Pursuant to Section 6(c) of the Convertible Preferred Stock Certificate of
Designation, if the equivalent of six quarterly dividends payable on the
Convertible Preferred Stock are in arrears, the number of directors of the
Company will be increased by two and the holders of Convertible Preferred Stock
voting separately as a class with the holders of shares of any one or more
other series of preferred stock ranking on a parity with the Convertible
Preferred Stock whether as to payment of dividends or the distribution of
assets and upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are
exercisable, will be entitled to elect two directors for one year terms to fill
such vacancies at the Company's next annual meeting of shareholders. Such right
to elect two additional directors shall continue at each subsequent annual
meeting until all dividends in arrears have been paid or declared and set apart
for payment. Upon payment or declaration and reservation of funds for payment
of all such dividends in arrearage, the term of office of each director elected
shall immediately terminate and the number of directors constituting the entire
Board of Directors of the Company shall be reduced by the number of directors
elected by the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock and any other series
of preferred stock ranking on a parity with the Convertible Preferred Stock as
discussed above. The Company has failed to pay dividends for five quarterly
periods and presently intends to pay preferred stock dividends only to the
extent earnings equal or exceed the amount of such dividends. This policy may
result in an indefinite suspension of dividends on the Convertible Preferred
Stock. See "Dividend Policy." In such case, the holders of the Convertible
Preferred Stock may become entitled to elect two members of the Board of
Directors. However, the stated quarterly dividend on the outstanding shares of
Convertible Preferred Stock is approximately $300,000, and the Company could
recommence payment of quarterly dividends in order to avoid the election of
additional directors. In addition, commencing January 15, 1996, the outstanding
Convertible Preferred Stock may be redeemed at an aggregate redemption price of
$15 million plus accrued and unpaid dividends.     
 
                    CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
 
  The following summary describes the material federal income tax consequences
of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of the Warrants.
 
  The discussion is based upon the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code"), the applicable Treasury Regulations promulgated
and proposed thereunder, judicial authority and current administrative rulings
and practice. Legislative, judicial or administrative changes or
interpretations may be forthcoming that could alter or modify the validity of
the statements and conclusions set forth below. Any such changes or
interpretations may be retroactive and could affect the continued validity of
the discussion. This discussion does not purport to deal with all aspects of
federal income taxation that might be relevant to particular Warrantholders in
light of their personal investment circumstances or status, nor does it discuss
the federal income tax consequences to certain types of Warrantholders subject
to special treatment under the federal income tax laws, such as certain
financial institutions, insurance companies, dealers in securities, tax-exempt
organizations, foreign corporations or nonresident alien individuals. Moreover,
the effect of any applicable state, local or foreign tax laws is not discussed.
The federal income tax treatment of the receipt of the Warrants by the Initial
Warrantholders will vary depending on the facts and circumstances of each such
holder. Initial Warrantholders should consult their own tax advisors regarding
the proper federal income tax treatment of the receipt of the Warrants.
 
 
                                       71

  Except as otherwise indicated below, this discussion assumes that the
Warrants (and any Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of a Warrant)
are or will be held as capital assets (as defined in Section 1221 of the Code)
by the holders thereof. The Internal Revenue Service (the "Service") may take a
contrary view as to the foregoing and other assumptions, and if the Service is
successful in asserting such contrary views, the federal income tax
consequences to the Warrantholders may differ from those described below.
 
SALE OF THE WARRANTS
 
  Generally, a Warrantholder will recognize gain or loss upon the sale of the
Warrants in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized on
the sale and the holder's adjusted tax basis for the Warrants. Under Section
1234 of the Code, gain or loss attributable to the sale of an option to buy or
sell property is considered gain from the sale of property which has the same
character as the property to which the option relates. Since the Warrants
relate to stock, gains or losses attributable to the sale of the Warrants will
generally constitute capital gains and losses and will be long-term if the
Warrants have been held for more than one year and if the stock would be a
capital asset in the hands of the holder.
 
EXERCISE OF THE WARRANTS
   
  The exercise of a Warrant with cash will not result in a taxable event to the
holder of the Warrant. The difference between the value of the shares received
and the exercise price, plus the basis, of the Warrant will only be recognized
for tax purposes if the shares are subsequently sold or redeemed. Upon exercise
of a Warrant for cash, the Warrantholder's basis in the shares of Common Stock
issued thereunder will be the sum of (a) its basis in the Warrant and (b) the
exercise price of the Warrant. The holding period for capital gains purposes
for the shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of a Warrant will not
include the period during which the Warrant was held. If any cash is received
in lieu of fractional shares, the holder will recognize gain or loss, and the
character and amount of gain or loss will be determined as if the holder had
received such fractional shares and then immediately resold them for cash.     
 
EXPIRATION OF THE WARRANTS
 
  Upon the expiration of an unexercised Warrant, the Warrantholder will
recognize a loss equal to the adjusted tax basis of the Warrant in the hands of
the holder. Under Section 1234 of the Code, the character of the loss realized
upon the failure to exercise an option is determined based on the character or
the property to which the option relates. Since the Warrant relates to stock, a
loss realized upon expiration of the Warrant will generally be a capital loss
and will be long term if the Warrant was held for more than one year and if the
stock would have been a capital asset in the hands of the Warrantholder.
 
ADJUSTMENTS UNDER THE WARRANTS
 
  Pursuant to the terms of the Warrants, the number of shares of Common Stock
purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants is subject to adjustment from time to
time upon the occurrence of certain events. Under Section 305 of the Code, a
change in conversion ratio or any transaction having a similar effect on the
interest of a holder of the Warrants may be treated as a distribution with
respect to any holder of the Warrants whose proportionate interest in the
earnings and profits of the Company is increased by such change or transaction.
Thus, under certain future circumstances which may or may not occur, such an
adjustment pursuant to the terms of the Warrants may be treated as a taxable
distribution to the holders of the Warrants, to the extent of the Company's
current or accumulated earning and profits, without regard to whether the
holders of the Warrants receive any cash or other property. For example, if the
Company distributes a cash or property dividend to its shareholders and a
related adjustment is made to the number of shares purchasable upon exercise of
the Warrants, such an adjustment will generally be treated as a taxable
distribution to the Warrantholders, despite the fact that the Warrantholders
receive no cash or property. If the holders of the Warrants receive such a
taxable distribution their bases in the Warrants will be increased by an amount
equal to the taxable distribution.
 
                                       72
<PAGE>
 
  The rules with respect to adjustments are complex and Warrantholders should
consult their own tax advisors in the event of an adjustment.
 
BACKUP WITHHOLDING
 
  The backup withholding rules require the Company to deduct and withhold
federal income tax at the rate of 31% with respect to payments made to
noncorporate holders who are not otherwise exempt if (a) the holder fails to
furnish a taxpayer identification number ("TIN") to the Company, (b) the IRS
notifies the Company that the TIN furnished by the holder is incorrect, (c)
there has been notified payee underpaying, or (d) there has been payee
certification failure. Any amounts withheld from a payment to a holder under
the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or credit against such
holder's federal income tax, provided that the required information is
furnished to the IRS.
 
  THE FOREGOING DISCUSSION OF CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS DOES
NOT CONSIDER THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES OF ANY PARTICULAR PROSPECTIVE
PURCHASER'S SITUATION OR STATUS. THE SUMMARY IS BASED ON THE PROVISIONS OF THE
CODE, REGULATIONS, PROPOSED REGULATION, RULINGS AND JUDICIAL DECISIONS NOW IN
EFFECT, ALL OF WHICH ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE, POSSIBLY ON A RETROACTIVE BASIS.
EACH WARRANTHOLDER SHOULD CONSULT HIS OR HER OWN TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO
THE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO SUCH WARRANTHOLDER, INCLUDING THE TAX CONSEQUENCES
UNDER STATE, LOCAL, FOREIGN AND OTHER TAX LAW, ARISING OUT OF THE PURCHASE,
OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF THE WARRANTS.
 
                 PRICE RANGE OF THE COMMON STOCK AND DIVIDENDS
 
  The Common Stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange and on several
regional exchanges, and since consummation of the Distribution is traded under
the symbol "HMT." The following table sets forth, for the fiscal periods
indicated, the high and low sales prices per share of the Common Stock as
reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Tape and traded during
periods prior to the Distribution under the symbol "MHS," and the cash
dividends paid per share of Common Stock. The stock prices and dividends paid
during periods prior to the Distribution (i.e., all periods prior to the fourth
quarter of 1993) are not indicative of the Company's current stock price or
dividend policies. The Company currently intends to retain future earnings, if
any, for use in its business and does not anticipate paying dividends on the
Common Stock. See "Dividend Policy." As of June 17, 1994, there were
approximately 64,000 holders of record of Common Stock.

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
  The Warrants offered hereby are being distributed to the Initial
Warrantholders as part of the Class Action Settlement pursuant to the
Settlement Agreement, which was approved by the United States District Court
for the District of Maryland (the "Court") on September 10, 1993. See "Risk
Factors--Pending Litigation."'
 
  As part of the Class Action Settlement, 5,775,000 Warrants are being
distributed to purchasers of the Company's senior notes between July 11, 1991
and October 5, 1992 who sold such senior notes on or after October 5, 1992 and
prior to September 10, 1993 and who suffered a loss on such purchase and sale.
Under the terms of the Class Action Settlement, in order to receive Warrants,
members of the plaintiff class satisfying the above criteria were required to
file a proof of claim with the settlement fund administrator retained by the
Class Action Plaintiffs to determine the total recognized loss from eligible
claims. Pursuant to the Court's order dated June 10, 1994, the total recognized
loss approved by the Court was $14,329,027, which means that each approved
claimant will receive .403 Warrants for each dollar of recognized loss, except
that no fractional warrants will be issued. See "Description of Warrants--No
Fractional Shares." Also, as part of the Class Action Settlement, counsel to
the plaintiffs in the Class Action Lawsuits will receive 1,925,000 Warrants in
payment of such counsel's fees and expenses. The plaintiffs who will receive
Warrants as part of the Class Action Settlement and counsel to plaintiffs in
the Class Action Lawsuit are sometimes referred to in this Prospectus as the
"Initial Warrantholders."

            PURPOSES AND ANTITAKEOVER EFFECTS OF CERTAIN PROVISIONS
                 OF THE COMPANY CERTIFICATE AND BYLAWS AND THE
                     MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL PURCHASE RIGHT
 
COMPANY CERTIFICATE AND BYLAWS
 
  The Company Certificate contains several provisions that will make difficult
an acquisition of control of the Company, by means of a tender offer, open
market purchases, a proxy fight or otherwise, that is not approved by the
Board. The Company's Bylaws (the "Bylaws") also contain provisions that could
have an antitakeover effect.
 
  The purposes of the relevant provisions of the Company Certificate and Bylaws
are to discourage certain types of transactions, described below, which may
involve an actual or threatened change of control of the Company and to
encourage persons seeking to acquire control of the Company to consult first
with the Board of Directors to negotiate the terms of any proposed business
combination or offer. The provisions are designed to reduce the vulnerability
of the Company to an unsolicited proposal for a takeover that does not
contemplate the acquisition of all outstanding shares or is otherwise unfair to
shareholders of the Company or an unsolicited proposal for the restructuring or
sale of all or part of the Company. The Company believes that, as a general
rule, such proposals would not be in the best interests of the Company and its
shareholders.
 
  There has been a history of the accumulation of substantial stock positions
in public companies by third parties as a prelude to proposing a takeover or a
restructuring or sale of all or part of the company or another similar
extraordinary corporate action. Such actions are often undertaken by the third-
party without advance notice to, or consultation with, the management or board
of directors of the target company. In many cases, the purchaser seeks
representation on the company's board of directors in order to increase the
likelihood that its proposal will be implemented by the company. If the company
resists the efforts of the purchaser to obtain representation on the company's
board, the purchaser may commence a proxy contest to have its nominees elected
to the board in place of certain directors or the entire board. In some cases,
the purchaser may not truly be interested in taking over the company, but may
use the threat of a proxy fight and/or a bid to take over the company as a
means of forcing the company to repurchase its equity position at a substantial
premium over market price.
 
  The Company believes that the imminent threat of removal of the Company's
management or Board in such situations would severely curtail the ability of
management or the Board to negotiate effectively with such purchasers. The
management or the Board would be deprived of the time and information necessary
to evaluate the takeover proposal, to study alternative proposals and to help
ensure that the best price is obtained in any transaction involving the Company
which may ultimately be undertaken. If the real purpose of a takeover bid were
to force the Company to repurchase an accumulated stock interest at a premium
price, management or the Board would face the risk that, if it did not
repurchase the purchaser's stock interest, the Company's business and
management would be disrupted, perhaps irreparably.
 
  Certain provisions of the Company Certificate and Bylaws, in the view of the
Company, will help ensure that the Board, if confronted by a surprise proposal
from a third-party which has acquired a block of stock, will have sufficient
time to review the proposal and appropriate alternatives to the proposal and to
act in what it believes to be the best interests of the shareholders. In
addition, certain other provisions of the Company Certificate are designed to
prevent a purchaser from utilizing two-tier pricing and similar inequitable
tactics in the event of an attempt to take over the Company.
 
  These provisions, individually and collectively, will make difficult and may
discourage a merger, tender offer or proxy fight, even if such transaction or
occurrence may be favorable to the interests of the shareholders, and may delay
or frustrate the assumption of control by a holder of a large block of stock of
the Company and the removal of incumbent management, even if such removal might
be beneficial to the shareholders. Furthermore, these provisions may deter or
could be utilized to frustrate a future takeover attempt which is not approved
by the incumbent Board of Directors, but which the holders of a majority of
 
                                       75
<PAGE>
 
the shares may deem to be in their best interests or in which shareholders may
receive a substantial premium for their stock over prevailing market prices of
such stock. By discouraging takeover attempts, these provisions might have the
incidental effect of inhibiting certain changes in management (some or all of
the members of which might be replaced in the course of a change of control)
and also the temporary fluctuations in the market price of the stock which
often result from actual or rumored takeover attempts.
 
  Set forth below is a description of such provisions in the Company
Certificate and Bylaws. Such description is intended as a summary only and is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the Company Certificate and Bylaws
which are exhibits to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 of which this
Prospectus is a part.
 
  Classified Board of Directors. The Company Certificate provides for the Board
to be divided into three classes serving staggered terms so that directors'
current terms will expire either at the 1995, 1996 or 1997 annual meeting of
shareholders. See "Management--Board of Directors."
 
  The classification of directors will have the effect of making it more
difficult for shareholders to change the composition of the Board in a
relatively short period of time. At least two annual meetings of shareholders,
instead of one, will generally be required to effect a change in a majority of
the Board. Such a delay may help ensure that the Board, if confronted by a
holder attempting to force a stock repurchase at a premium above market prices,
a proxy contest or an extraordinary corporate transaction, will have sufficient
time to review the proposal and appropriate alternatives to the proposal and to
act in what it believes are the best interests of the shareholders.
 
  The classified board provision could have the effect of discouraging a third-
party from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of
the Company, even though such an attempt might be beneficial to the Company and
its shareholders. The classified board provision could thus increase the
likelihood that incumbent directors will retain their positions. In addition,
since the classified board provision is designed to discourage accumulations of
large blocks of the Company's stock by purchasers whose objective is to have
such stock repurchased by the Company at a premium, the classified board
provision could tend to reduce the temporary fluctuations in the market price
of the Company's stock that could be caused by accumulations of large blocks of
such stock. Accordingly, shareholders could be deprived of certain
opportunities to sell their stock at a temporarily higher market price.
 
  The Company believes that a classified board of directors helps to assure the
continuity and stability of the Board and business strategies and policies as
determined by the Board, because generally a majority of the directors at any
given time will have had prior experience as directors of the Company. The
classified board provision also helps assure that the Board, if confronted with
an unsolicited proposal from a third-party that has acquired a block of the
voting stock of the Company, will have sufficient time to review the proposal
and appropriate alternatives and to seek the best available result for all
shareholders.
 
  Removal; Filling Vacancies. The Company Certificate provides that, subject to
any rights of the holders of preferred stock, only a majority of the Board then
in office shall have the authority to fill any vacancies on the Board,
including vacancies created by an increase in the number of directors. In
addition, the Company Certificate provides that a new director elected to fill
a vacancy on the Board will serve for the remainder of the full term of his or
her class and that no decrease in the number of directors shall shorten the
term of an incumbent. Moreover, the Company Certificate provides that directors
may be removed with or without cause only by the affirmative vote of holders of
at least 66 2/3% of the voting power of the shares entitled to vote at the
election of directors, voting together as a single class. These provisions
relating to removal and filling of vacancies on the Board will preclude
shareholders from enlarging the Board or removing incumbent directors and
filling the vacancies with their own nominees.
 
  Limitations on Shareholder Action By Written Consent; Special Meetings. The
Company Certificate and Bylaws provide that shareholder action can be taken
only at an annual or special meeting of shareholders
 
                                       76
<PAGE>
 
and prohibit shareholder action by written consent in lieu of a meeting. The
Company Certificate and Bylaws provide that, subject to the rights of holders
of any series of preferred stock, special meetings of shareholders can be
called only by a majority of the entire Board. Shareholders are not permitted
to call a special meeting or to require that the Board call a special meeting
of shareholders. Moreover, the business permitted to be conducted at any
special meeting of shareholders is limited to the business brought before the
meeting by or at the direction of the Board.
 
  The provisions of the Company Certificate and Bylaws restricting shareholder
action by written consent may have the effect of delaying consideration of a
shareholder proposal until the next annual meeting unless a special meeting is
called by a majority of the entire Board. These provisions would also prevent
the holders of a majority of the voting power of the voting stock from using
the written consent procedure to take shareholder action and from taking action
by consent without giving all the shareholders of the Company entitled to vote
on a proposed action the opportunity to participate in determining such
proposed action. Moreover, a shareholder could not force shareholder
consideration of a proposal over the opposition of the Company Board by calling
a special meeting of shareholders prior to the time the Board believed such
consideration to be appropriate.
 
  The Company believes that such limitations on shareholder action will help to
assure the continuity and stability of the Board and the Company's business
strategies and policies as determined by the Board, to the benefit of all of
the Company's shareholders. If confronted with an unsolicited proposal from
Company shareholders, the Board will have sufficient time to review such
proposal and to seek the best available result for all shareholders, before
such proposal is approved by such shareholders by written consent in lieu of a
meeting or through a special meeting of shareholders.
 
  Nominations of Directors and Shareholder Proposals. The Bylaws establish an
advance notice procedure with regard to the nomination, other than by or at the
direction of the Board, of candidates for election as directors (the
"Nomination Procedure") and with regard to shareholder proposals to be brought
before an annual or special meeting of shareholders (the "Business Procedure").
 
  The Nomination Procedure provides that only persons who are nominated by or
at the direction of the Board of Directors, or by a shareholder who has given
timely prior written notice to the Secretary of the Company prior to the
meeting at which directors are to be elected, will be eligible for election as
directors. The Business Procedure provides that shareholder proposals must be
submitted in writing in a timely manner in order to be considered at any annual
or special meeting. To be timely, notice must be received by the Company (i) in
the case of an annual meeting, not less than 90 days prior to the annual
meeting for a director nomination, and not less than 120 days prior to the
annual meeting for a shareholder proposal or (ii) in the case of a special
meeting not later than the seventh day following the day on which notice of
such meeting is first given to shareholders for both a director nomination and
a shareholder proposal.
 
  Under the Nomination Procedure, notice to the Company from a shareholder who
proposes to nominate a person at a meeting for election as a director must
contain certain information about that person, including age, business and
residence addresses, principal occupation, the class and number of shares of
Common Stock beneficially owned, the consent to be nominated and such other
information as would be required to be included in a proxy statement soliciting
proxies for the election of the proposed nominee, and certain information about
the shareholder proposing to nominate that person. Under the Business
Procedure, notice relating to a shareholder proposal must contain certain
information about such proposal and about the shareholder who proposes to bring
the proposal before the meeting, including the class and number of shares of
Common Stock beneficially owned by such shareholder. If the Chairman or other
officer presiding at a meeting determines that a person was not nominated in
accordance with the Nomination Procedure, such person will not be eligible for
election as a director, or if he determines that the shareholder proposal was
not properly brought before such meeting, such proposal will not be introduced
at such meeting. Nothing in the Nomination Procedure or the Business Procedure
will preclude discussion by any shareholder of any
 
                                       77
<PAGE>
 
nomination or proposal properly made or brought before an annual or special
meeting in accordance with the above-mentioned procedures.
 
  The purpose of the Nomination Procedure is, by requiring advance notice of
nomination by shareholders, to afford the Board a meaningful opportunity to
consider the qualifications of the proposed nominees and, to the extent deemed
necessary or desirable by the Board, to inform shareholders about such
qualifications. The purpose of the Business Procedure is, by requiring advance
notice of shareholder proposals, to provide a more orderly procedure for
conducting annual meetings of shareholders and, to the extent deemed necessary
or desirable by the Board, to provide the Board with a meaningful opportunity
to inform shareholders, prior to such meetings, of any proposal to be
introduced at such meetings, together with any recommendation as to the Board's
position or belief as to action to be taken with respect to such proposal, so
as to enable shareholders better to determine whether they desire to attend
such meeting or grant a proxy to the Board as to the disposition of any such
proposal. Although the Bylaws do not give the Board any power to approve or
disapprove shareholder nominations for the election of directors or of any
other proposal submitted by shareholders, the Bylaws may have the effect of
precluding a nomination for the election of directors or precluding the
conducting of business at a particular shareholder meeting if the proper
procedures are not followed, and may discourage or deter a third-party from
conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect its own slate of directors or
otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company, even if the conduct of
such solicitation or such attempt might be beneficial to the Company and its
shareholders.
 
  Fair Price Provision. Article Fifteenth of the Company Certificate (the "Fair
Price Provision") requires the approval by the holders of 66 2/3% of the voting
power of the outstanding capital stock of the Company entitled to vote
generally in the election of directors (the "Voting Stock") as a condition for
mergers and certain other business combinations ("Business Combinations")
involving the Company and any holder of more than 25% of such voting power (an
"Interested Shareholder") unless the transaction is either (i) approved by a
majority of the members of the Board who are not affiliated with the Interested
Shareholder and who were directors before the Interested Shareholder became an
Interested Shareholder (the "Disinterested Directors") or (ii) certain minimum
price and procedural requirements are met.
 
  The Fair Price Provision is designed to prevent a third-party from utilizing
two-tier pricing and similar inequitable tactics in a takeover attempt. The
Fair Price Provision is not designed to prevent or discourage tender offers for
the Company. It does not impede an offer for at least 66 2/3% of the Voting
Stock in which each shareholder receives substantially the same price for his
or her shares as each other shareholder or which the Board has approved in the
manner described herein. Nor does the Fair Price Provision preclude a third-
party from making a tender offer for some of the shares of Voting Stock without
proposing a Business Combination in which the remaining shares of Voting Stock
are purchased. Except for the restrictions on Business Combinations, the Fair
Price Provision will not prevent an Interested Shareholder having a controlling
interest of the Voting Stock from exercising control over the Company or
increasing its interest in the Company. Moreover, an Interested Shareholder
could increase its ownership to 66 2/3% and avoid application of the Fair Price
Provision. However, the separate provisions contained in the Company
Certificate and the Bylaws relating to "Classified Boards of Directors"
discussed above will, as therein indicated, curtail an Interested Shareholder's
ability to exercise control in several respects, including such shareholder's
ability to change incumbent directors who may oppose a Business Combination or
to implement a Business Combination by written consent without a shareholder
meeting. The Fair Price Provision would, however, discourage some takeover
attempts by persons intending to acquire the Company in two steps and to
eliminate remaining shareholder interests by means of a business combination
involving less consideration per share than the acquiring person would propose
to pay for its initial interest in the Company. In addition, acquisitions of
stock by persons attempting to acquire control through market purchases may
cause the market price of the stock to reach levels which are higher than would
otherwise be the case. The Fair Price Provision may thereby deprive some
holders of the Common Stock of an opportunity to sell their shares at a
temporarily higher market price.
 
 
                                       78
<PAGE>
 
  Although the Fair Price Provision is designed to help assure fair treatment
of all shareholders vis-a-vis other shareholders in the event of a takeover, it
is not the purpose of the Fair Price Provision to assure that shareholders will
receive a premium price for their shares in a takeover. Accordingly, the Board
is of the view that the adoption of the Fair Price Provision does not preclude
the Board's opposition to any future takeover proposal which it believes would
not be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, whether or
not such a proposal satisfies the minimum price criteria and procedural
requirements of the Fair Price Amendment.
 
  In addition, under Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law as
applicable to the Company, certain "business combinations" (defined generally
to include (i) mergers or consolidations between a Delaware corporation and an
interested shareholder (as defined below) and (ii) transactions between a
Delaware corporation and an interested shareholder involving the assets or
stock of such corporation or its majority-owned subsidiaries, including
transactions which increase the interested shareholder's percentage ownership
of stock) between a Delaware corporation, whose stock generally is publicly
traded or held of record by more than 2,000 shareholders, and an interested
shareholder (defined generally as those shareholders, who, on or after December
23, 1987, become beneficial owners of 15 percent or more of a Delaware
corporation's voting stock) are prohibited for a three-year period following
the date that such shareholder became an interested shareholder, unless (i)
prior to the date such shareholder became an interested shareholder, the board
of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the
transaction which resulted in the shareholder becoming an interested
shareholder, (ii) upon consummation of the transaction that made such
shareholder an interested shareholder, the interested shareholder owned at
least 85 percent of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time
the transaction commenced (excluding voting stock owned by officers who also
are directors and voting stock held in employee benefit plans in which the
employees do not have a confidential right to tender or vote stock held by the
plan), or (iii) the business combination was approved by the board of directors
of the corporation and ratified by two-thirds of the voting stock which the
interested shareholder did not own. The three-year prohibition also does not
apply to certain business combinations proposed by an interested shareholder
following the announcement or notification of certain extraordinary
transactions involving the corporation and a person who had been an interested
shareholder during the previous three years or who became an interested
shareholder with the approval of a majority of the corporation's directors.
 
  Shareholder Rights Plan. The Company has adopted a shareholder rights plan
which may have anti-takeover effects. See "Description of Capital Stock-Rights
and Junior Preferred Stock."
 
  Amendment of the Company Certificate and Bylaws. The Company Certificate
contains provisions requiring the affirmative vote of the holders of at least
66 2/3% the voting power of the stock entitled to vote generally in the
election of directors to amend certain provisions of the Company Certificate
and Bylaws (including the provisions discussed above). These provisions make it
more difficult for shareholders to make changes in the Company Certificate or
Bylaws, including changes designed to facilitate the exercise of control over
the Company. In addition, the requirement for approval by at least a 66 2/3%
shareholder vote will enable the holders of a minority of the Company's capital
stock to prevent holders of a less-than-66 2/3% majority from amending such
provisions of the Company's Certificate or Bylaws.
 
MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL PURCHASE RIGHT
 
  Pursuant to the terms of the Distribution Agreement, the Company granted to
Marriott International, for a period of ten years following the Distribution,
the right to purchase a number of shares equal in amount of up to 20% of each
class of the Company's outstanding voting stock at the then fair market value
upon the occurrence of certain change of control events involving the Company.
The Marriott International Purchase Right may be exercised for a 30-day period
following the date a person or group of affiliated persons has (i) become the
beneficial owner of 20% or more of the total voting power of the then
outstanding shares of the Company's voting stock or (ii) announced a tender
offer for 30% or more of the total voting power of the then outstanding shares
of the Company's voting stock. These change of control events upon which the
 
                                       79
<PAGE>
 
Marriott International Purchase Right becomes exercisable are substantially
identical to those events that cause a distribution of the Rights under the
Rights Agreement (see "Description of Capital Stock--Rights and Junior
Preferred Stock"). Accordingly, certain share ownership of the Company's voting
stock by specified persons that is exempt under the Rights Agreement, and
consequently will not result in a distribution of Rights, also will not cause
the Marriott International Purchase Right to become exercisable.
 
  The Board amended the terms of the Rights Agreement to provide that the
exercise of the Marriott International Purchase Right will not result in a
distribution of the Rights. Accordingly, upon exercise of the Marriott
International Purchase Right, Marriott International will be entitled to
receive the Rights associated with the Common Stock and will not be deemed an
"Acquiring Person" under the Rights Agreement.
 
  The purchase price for the Common Stock to be purchased upon the exercise of
the Marriott International Purchase Right is determined by taking the average
of the closing sale price of the Common Stock during the 30 consecutive trading
days preceding the date the Marriott International Purchase Right becomes
exercisable. The specific terms of the Marriott International Purchase Right
are set forth in the Distribution Agreement.
 
  The Marriott International Purchase Right will have an antitakeover effect.
Any person considering acquiring a substantial or controlling block of Common
Stock would face the possibility that its ability to exercise control would be
impaired by Marriott International's 20% ownership resulting from exercise of
the Marriott International Purchase Right. So long as the Marriott family's
current percentage of ownership of Common Stock continues, the combined
Marriott family (including various trusts established by members of the
Marriott family) and Marriott International ownership following exercise of the
Marriott International Purchase Right would effectively block control by others
(see "Description of Capital Stock"). It is also possible that the exercise
price of the Marriott International Purchase Right would be lower than the
price at which a potential acquiror might be willing to purchase a 20% block of
shares of Common Stock because the purchase price for the Marriott
International Purchase Right is based on the average trading price during a 30-
day period which may be prior to the announcement of the takeover event. This
potential price differential may have a further antitakeover effect by
discouraging potential acquirers of the Company. The antitakeover effect of the
Marriott International Purchase Right will be in addition to the antitakeover
effects of the provisions contained in the Company Certificate and Bylaws.
 
                                 LEGAL MATTERS
   
  The validity of the Common Stock offered hereby will be passed upon for the
Company by Christopher G. Townsend, Esq., Vice President and Deputy General
Counsel of the Company, and certain legal matters with respect to the Company's
Convertible Preferred Stock will be passed upon for the Company by Potter,
Anderson & Corroon, Wilmington, Delaware.     
 
  Mr. Townsend owns Common Stock, and holds stock options, deferred stock and
restricted stock awards under the Comprehensive Stock Plan and may receive
additional awards under the plan in the future.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
To Host Marriott Corporation:
 
  We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Host Marriott
Corporation (formerly Marriott Corporation) and subsidiaries as of December 31,
1993 and January 1, 1993, and the related consolidated statements of income,
shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the
period ended December 31, 1993. These financial statements and the schedules
referred to below are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
schedules based on our audits.
 
  We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
 
  In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Host
Marriott Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993 and January 1,
1993, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three fiscal years in the period ended December 31, 1993 in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
 
  As discussed in Notes 3 and 7 to the consolidated financial statements, in
1993 the Company changed its methods of accounting for assets held for sale and
income taxes.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
 Description of Business
 
  The structure of Host Marriott Corporation (the "Company," formerly Marriott
Corporation) was substantially altered on October 8, 1993 when the Company
distributed the stock of a wholly-owned subsidiary, Marriott International,
Inc. ("Marriott International") in a special dividend (see Note 2). The Company
owns 127 lodging properties operated under Marriott brand names and managed by
Marriott International. The Company also holds minority interests in various
partnerships that own an additional 268 properties operated by Marriott
International. The Company's properties span several market segments, including
full service (Marriott Hotels, Resorts and Suites), moderate price (Courtyard
by Marriott), extended stay (Residence Inn by Marriott) and economy (Fairfield
Inn by Marriott). In addition, the Company owns 14 senior living communities
which are leased to Marriott International under long-term leases.
 
  The Company also operates restaurants, gift shops and related facilities at
73 airports, on 14 tollroads (including 93 travel plazas) and at 42 tourist
attractions, stadiums and arenas. Many of the Company's concessions operate
under branded names.
 
  The Company's financial statements include the results of operations and cash
flows of Marriott International through the Distribution Date (see Note 2).
Accordingly, the financial disclosures herein do not reflect the results of
operations of the Company as it now exists.
 
 Principles of Consolidation
 
  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its subsidiaries and controlled affiliates. Investments in 50% or less owned
affiliates over which the Company has the ability to exercise significant
influence are accounted for using the equity method. The Company's equity in
net losses of these affiliates is included in corporate expenses. All material
intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Certain prior year
amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 1993 presentation.
 
  In late 1992, the Board of Directors approved the special dividend of
Marriott International stock (see Note 2). Marriott International's results of
operations through the Distribution Date included in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements consist of the following:

 Fiscal Year
 
  The Company's fiscal year ends on the Friday nearest to December 31 for U.S.
operations and on November 30 for most non-U.S. operations. Fiscal 1993 and
1992, which ended December 31, 1993 and January 1, 1993, respectively, include
52 weeks. Fiscal 1991, which ended January 3, 1992, includes 53 weeks.
 
 Revenues
 
  Subsequent to the Distribution (see Note 2), Lodging revenues include house
profit from the Company's owned hotel properties, and Contract Services
revenues include sales of food, beverage and merchandise at
 
                                      F-7

                   HOST MARRIOTT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
various Host/Travel Plazas locations and lease revenues from the Company's
owned senior living communities. House profit represents hotel operating
results, less property-level expenses, excluding depreciation, real and
personal property taxes, ground rent, insurance and management fees which are
classified as operating costs and expenses.
 
  Prior to the Distribution, Lodging revenues included room sales and food and
beverage sales at both owned and managed hotel properties, franchise fees for
franchised hotel properties, and sales of timeshare units. Contract Services
revenues included sales of food, beverages and merchandise at various
Host/Travel Plazas locations as well as contract revenue from various facility
management contracts, distribution service revenues and sales from senior
living communities. In 1993, revenues related to Marriott International are
included in profits from operations distributed to Marriott International in
the accompanying statement of income.
 
  Prior to the Distribution, the Company operated 388 hotels under long-term
management agreements whereby payments to owners were based primarily on hotel
profits. Working capital and operating results of managed hotels operated with
the Company's employees were consolidated because the operating
responsibilities associated with such hotels were substantially the same as
those for owned and leased hotels. The consolidated financial statements
include the following amounts related to managed hotels: current assets and
current liabilities of $246 million at January 1, 1993; sales of $2,276 million
in 1993, $2,896 million in 1992, and $2,809 million in 1991; and operating
expenses, including payments to owners, of $2,148 million in 1993, $2,721
million in 1992, and $2,616 million in 1991.
 
 International Operations
 
  The consolidated statements of income include the following amounts related
to non-U.S. subsidiaries and affiliates; sales of $258 million in 1993
(including $223 million related to Marriott International), $355 million in
1992, and $329 million in 1991; and income before income taxes of $26 million
in 1993, $24 million in 1992, and $26 million in 1991. International sales and
income before income taxes, subsequent to the Distribution, were not material.
 
 Property and Equipment
 
  Property and equipment is recorded at cost, including interest, rent and real
estate taxes incurred during development and construction. Replacements and
improvements are capitalized.
 
  Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the assets, generally 40 years for buildings and three to 10
years for furniture and equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over
the shorter of the asset life or lease term.
 
  Gains upon the sales of properties are recognized at the time of sale or
deferred to the extent required by generally accepted accounting principles.
Deferred gains are recognized as income in subsequent periods as conditions
requiring deferral are satisfied or expire without further cost to the Company.
 
  In cases where management is holding for sale particular lodging properties,
the Company assesses impairment based on whether the net realizable value
(estimated sales price less costs of disposal) of each individual property to
be sold is less than the net book value. A lodging property is considered to be
held for sale when the Company has made the decision to dispose of the
property. Otherwise, the Company assesses

<PAGE>
 
                   HOST MARRIOTT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
impairment of its real estate properties based on whether it is probable that
undiscounted future cash flows from each individual property will be less than
their net book value.
 
 Pre-Opening Costs
 
  Costs of an operating nature incurred prior to opening of lodging and senior
living service properties are deferred and amortized over three years.
 
 Self-Insurance Programs
 
  Prior to the Distribution Date (see Note 2), the Company was self-insured for
certain levels of general liability, workers' compensation and employee medical
coverage. Estimated costs of these self-insurance programs were accrued at
present values of projected settlements for known and anticipated claims. The
Company discontinued its self-insurance program for claims arising subsequent
to the Distribution Date. The self-insurance claims arising prior to the
Distribution Date continue to be administered by Marriott International.
 
 Earnings Per Common Share
 
  Earnings per common share are computed on a fully diluted basis by dividing
net income available for common stock by the weighted average number of
outstanding common and common equivalent shares, plus other potentially
dilutive securities, aggregating 121.3 million in 1993, 106.5 million in 1992,
and 101.5 million in 1991.
 
  During 1993, the Company issued 1.8 million common shares to former holders
of certain Senior Notes and debentures of the Company as part of the Exchange
Offer (see Note 2), 10.9 million common shares to former holders of the
Company's preferred stock and, during 1993 and subsequent to year-end, 9.0
million common shares to holders of the LYONs notes upon their conversion (see
Note 10). Supplemental earnings per share, giving effect to the transactions
discussed above as if they had occurred as of the first day of the period
presented was $.42 and $.74 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1993 and
January 1, 1993, respectively. Weighted average shares outstanding, giving
effect to the transactions discussed above as if they had occurred as of the
first day of the period presented, were 138 million and 128 million for the
fiscal years ended December 31, 1993 and January 1, 1993, respectively.
 
 Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
  The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three
months or less at date of purchase to be cash equivalents.
 
 Interest Rate Swap Agreements
 
  The Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements to diversify a
portion of its debt to a variable rate basis. The interest rate differential to
be paid or received on interest rate swap agreements is accrued as interest
rates change and is recognized as an adjustment to interest expense.
 
 New Statements of Financial Accounting Standards
 
  The Company is required to adopt Statements of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits," and SFAS
No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," no
later than its fiscal year ending December 30, 1994. The Company is also
required to adopt SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a
Loan," no later than its fiscal year ending December 29, 1995. Application of
these statements will not have any material effect on the Company's
consolidated financial statements.

2. THE DISTRIBUTION
 
  On October 8, 1993 (the "Distribution Date"), Marriott Corporation
distributed, through a special tax-free dividend (the "Distribution"), to
holders of Marriott Corporation's common stock (on a share-for-share basis),
approximately 116.4 million outstanding shares of common stock of an existing
wholly-owned subsidiary, Marriott International, resulting in the division of
Marriott Corporation's operations into two separate companies. The distributed
operations included the former Marriott Corporation's lodging management,
franchising and resort timesharing operations, senior living service
operations, and the institutional food service and facilities management
business. The Company retained the former Marriott Corporation's airport and
tollroad food, beverage and merchandise concessions operations, as well as most
of its real estate properties. Effective at the Distribution Date, Marriott
Corporation changed its name to Host Marriott Corporation. Subsequent to the
Company's announcement in late 1992 of the planned Distribution, the Company
recorded a reserve of $21 million, representing management's best estimate, at
that time, of the anticipated costs to complete the Distribution. During 1993,
the Company recognized an additional $13 million of charges based on
management's revised estimate of the ultimate cost of completing the
Distribution. The costs include $30 million payable to attorneys, investment
bankers, consultants and financial institutions, and $4 million in employee
compensation awards. The Company expects substantially all of the unpaid costs
at December 31, 1993 to be paid during 1994. The other notes to the financial
statements discuss further the agreements and events relating to the
Distribution.
 
  In connection with the Distribution, the Company completed an exchange offer
("Exchange Offer") pursuant to which holders of Senior Notes in an aggregate
principal amount of approximately $1.2 billion ("Old Notes") exchanged such Old
Notes for a combination of (i) cash, (ii) common stock and (iii) New Notes
("New Notes") issued by an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company,
Host Marriott Hospitality, Inc. ("Hospitality"). The coupon and maturity date
for each series of New Notes is 100 basis points higher and four years later,
respectively, than the series of Old Notes for which it was exchanged (except
that the maturity of the New Notes issued in exchange for the Series L Senior
Notes due 2012 was shortened by five years). The Company has redeemed all of
the old Series F Senior Notes that did not tender in the Exchange Offer, and
has secured the old Series I Notes equally and ratably with the New Notes
issued in the Exchange Offer. The Exchange Offer was treated as an
extinguishment of debt and, accordingly, the Company recognized an
extraordinary loss of $5 million, net of taxes of $4 million.
 
  In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Company effected a restructuring
(the "Restructuring"). As a result of the Restructuring, the Company's primary
asset is the capital stock of a wholly-owned subsidiary, HMH Holdings, Inc.
("Holdings"). Holdings' primary asset is the capital stock of Hospitality, and
Holdings is the borrower under a Revolving Line of Credit with Marriott
International. In the Restructuring, most of the Company's real estate and
operating assets were transferred to subsidiaries of Hospitality. Certain
assets relating to such businesses (the "retained business") were retained
directly by the Company and certain of its other subsidiaries (the "retained
business subsidiaries"). In addition, HMC Ventures, Inc. ("HMC Ventures") was
created as an unrestricted subsidiary that was capitalized subsequent to year-

  Interest cost capitalized in connection with the Company's development and
construction activities totaled $11 million in 1993, $14 million in 1992, and
$55 million in 1991.
 
  Most hotels developed by the Company since the early 1980s were reported as
assets held for sale prior to 1992. In early 1992, the Company decided it was
no longer appropriate to view sales of lodging properties, subject to operating
agreements, as a primary means of long-term financing. Accordingly, the Company
discontinued classification of these properties (with an aggregate carrying
value of approximately $1,150 million at that time) as assets held for sale.
 
  Following discussions with the Staff of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, the Company agreed in the second quarter of 1993 to change its
method of determining net realizable value of assets reported as held for sale.
The Company previously determined net realizable value of such assets on a
property-by-property basis in the case of full service hotels, resorts and
suites, and on an aggregate basis, by hotel brand, in the case of Courtyard
hotels, Fairfield Inns and Residence Inns. Beginning in the second fiscal
quarter of 1993 and thereafter, under the Company's new accounting policy, net
realizable value of all assets held for sale is determined on a property-by-
property basis. The after-tax cumulative effect of this change on periods prior
to the second quarter of 1993 of $32 million is reflected as a cumulative
effect of a change in accounting for assets held for sale in the accompanying
consolidated statement of income for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1993.
The reduction in the annual depreciation charge as a result of this change did
not have a material effect on results of operations.
 
  The following amounts have been adjusted to show the pro forma effect of this
change had the new accounting policy been applied in prior years. There is no
pro forma impact on the results for 1993. All amounts are in millions, except
per common share amounts.

  During the fourth quarter of 1993, the Company engaged in formal negotiations
to sell the majority of its Fairfield Inns and executed a letter of intent in
January 1994. In the fourth quarter of 1993, the Company considered these
hotels as held for sale and recorded a pre-tax charge to earnings of $11
million to write-down the carrying value of 15 such properties to their
individual estimated net realizable value. Although these individual hotels had
an indicated net realizable value below their carrying value, the proposed
transaction is expected to result in an aggregate gain.

  Hotel properties owned by affiliates generally were acquired from the Company
in connection with limited partnership offerings. The Company or one of its
subsidiaries typically serve as a general partner of each partnership and the
hotels are operated under long-term agreements by Marriott International.
Included in the 48 Marriott hotels owned by affiliates is the Company's 49%
interest in one international hotel, in Budapest, Hungary.
 
  At year-end, the Company owned a 50% interest in Times Square Hotel Company
("TSHCO"), the owner of the New York Marriott Marquis, and held security
interests in an additional 39% of the partnership interests as collateral for
loans made to certain partners. The partners were in default on the loans and
the Company, for accounting purposes, realized an in-substance foreclosure of
their partnership interests. In early 1994, the Company foreclosed on a 29%
interest and finalized arrangements to transfer another 7% interest to the
Company. In 1993, the Company began reporting substantially all the losses of
TSHCO and on December 31, 1993 began consolidating TSHCO. The Company's balance
sheet has been impacted by an increase in debt and other long-term liabilities
of approximately $451 million, and a corresponding increase in assets
(principally property and equipment).

            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
  Of the $451 million of long-term liabilities of TSHCO, $375 million
represents a non-recourse first mortgage loan, $27 million represents a non-
recourse second mortgage loan, and $49 million represents non-recourse deferred
ground rent and related accrued interest. The first mortgage loan matured
December 7, 1993 and a preliminary agreement has been reached for the extension
of the loan for a term of five years, which is subject to final approval of the
lenders and completion of definitive documentation. The preliminary agreement
calls for a paydown of the loan by $37 million at, or before, closing. However,
there can be no assurance that a final agreement will be reached and that the
loan will not enter into default.
 
  In December 1993, the Company sold its 15% interest in the partnership owning
the Boston Copley Marriott Hotel for $10.4 million.
 
  In 1993, the Company sold portions of its equity interests in Residence Inns
USA partnership for $31 million. These sales reduced the Company's ownership by
the fourth quarter of 1993 to 16.6% and allowed the Company to be released from
certain debt guarantee obligations. Accordingly, the Company is no longer
consolidating the partnership and has removed the $64 million of debt and $96
million of property, plant and equipment from its consolidated balance sheet at
December 31, 1993. A gain on this transaction totalling $12 million was
deferred and is being amortized over three years.
 
  In the fourth quarter of 1993, a Company-owned addition to a hotel owned by a
partnership in which the Company is a general partner was taken through
foreclosure by the hotel's lender. The Company's investment in the addition was
written off at that time.
 
  The Company recorded a net gain of $4 million in 1993 as a result of the
aforementioned affiliate transactions.
 
  The Company's equity in three affiliates exceeded its proportionate share of
net assets by $17 million at December 31, 1993. This excess is being amortized
over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.
 
  Receivables from affiliates are reported net of reserves of $196 million at
December 31, 1993 and $266 million at January 1, 1993. Receivables from
affiliates at December 31, 1993 included a $154 million mortgage note at 9%
which amortizes through 2003, and net debt service and other advances totalling
$20 million which are generally secured by subordinated liens on the
properties. The Company has committed to advance additional amounts to
affiliates, if necessary, to cover certain debt service requirements and has
accrued $7 million in connection therewith. Such commitments are limited, in
the aggregate, to an additional $271 million at December 31, 1993. Net amounts
funded under these commitments totalled $14 million in 1993 and $22 million in
1992.
 
  The Company's pre-tax income from affiliates includes the following:

7. INCOME TAXES
 
  The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"), during the first quarter of 1993.
Prior to such adoption, the Company deferred the past tax effects of timing
differences between amounts recorded for financial reporting purposes and
taxable income. SFAS 109 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and
liabilities equal to the expected future tax consequences of temporary
differences.
 
  The $30 million cumulative credit resulting from this change in accounting
principle has been reflected as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting
for income taxes in the consolidated statements of income. Adjustments to the
carrying values of certain assets and liabilities acquired in prior purchase
business combinations, required under SFAS 109, did not affect the Company's
income before income taxes for 1993.
 
  Total deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 1993 were as
follows (in millions):

</TABLE>
 
  The valuation allowance required under SFAS 109 primarily represents prior
purchase business combination tax credits ($17 million) and net operating loss
carryforwards (NOLs) ($4 million), the benefits of which were not previously
recorded, but which have been recorded under SFAS 109 as deferred tax assets
with an offsetting valuation allowance. Any subsequent reduction in the
valuation allowance related to the prior purchase business combination tax
credits and NOLs will be recorded as a reduction of income tax expense. There
was no change in the valuation allowance during 1993.
 
  The tax effect of each type of temporary difference and carryforward that
gives rise to a significant portion of deferred tax assets and liabilities as

  Prior to 1993, deferred income taxes resulted from timing differences in the
recognition of income and expenses for financial and tax reporting purposes.

to the Company under noncancelable subleases.
 
  The Company remains contingently liable at December 31, 1993 on certain
leases relating to divested properties. Such contingent liabilities aggregated
$195 million. However, management considers the likelihood of any substantial
funding related to these leases to be remote.

  In connection with the Distribution, the Company entered into the Revolving
Line of Credit with Marriott International. Pursuant to the Revolving Line of
Credit, Holdings may borrow up to $630 million for certain permitted uses from
Marriott International through 2007, with all unpaid advances due August 31,
2008. Borrowings under the Revolving Line of Credit bear interest at LIBOR plus
4%, with any interest in excess of 10.5% per annum deferred. An annual fee of
one percent is charged on the unused portion of the commitment. The Revolving
Line of Credit is guaranteed by the Company and certain subsidiaries.
 
  The Revolving Line of Credit imposes certain restrictions on the ability of
the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to incur additional debt, impose
liens or mortgages on their properties (other than various types of liens
arising in the ordinary course of business), extend new guarantees (other than
replacement guarantees), pay dividends, repurchase their common stock, make
investments and incur capital expenditures.
 
  Hospitality is the issuer of the New Notes secured by a pledge of the stock
of, and guaranteed by, Holdings, Hospitality and certain of its subsidiaries.
The indenture governing these notes contains covenants that, among other
things, limit the ability of Hospitality to pay dividends and make other
distributions and restricted payments. It also limits the ability of
Hospitality and its subsidiaries to incur additional debt, create additional
liens on their assets, engage in certain transactions with related parties,
enter into agreements which restrict a subsidiary in paying dividends or making
certain other payments and limit the activities and businesses of Holdings. The
net assets of Hospitality at December 31, 1993 were $655 million, substantially
all of which are restricted.
 
  The Company has available up to $125 million of first mortgage financing from
Marriott International for approximately 60% of the construction and
development costs of the Philadelphia Convention Center Hotel. As of December
31, 1993, the outstanding loans balance was approximately $40 million. The loan
bears interest at LIBOR plus 3% for the period ending two years after
construction. For the following 10 years, the loan bears interest at 10% per
annum with an additional 2% per annum deferred.

  During 1993, the Company defeased $100 million of Old Series G Senior Notes
due in February 1994 for an amount substantially equal to its net carrying
value.
   
  At December 31, 1993, the Company was party to $500 million aggregate
notional amount of interest rate exchange agreements with two financial
institutions and one investment bank (the contracting parties). Under these
agreements, the Company collects interest at fixed rates (average rate of 7.6%
at December 31, 1993), and pays interest based on specified floating interest
rates (average rate of 3.5% at December 31, 1993) through 1997. The Company
realized a net reduction of interest expense for both 1993 and 1992 of
$21 million and a net reduction of $6 million for 1991 related to interest rate
exchange agreements. The Company monitors the credit worthiness of its
contracting parties by evaluating credit exposure and referring to the ratings
of widely accepted credit rating services. The Standard and Poors' long-term
debt ratings for the contracting parties are all A- or better. The Company is
exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the contracting
parties to the interest rate swap agreements; however, the Company does not
anticipate non-performance by the contracting parties.

obligations, are (in millions):

  Deferred financing costs, which are included in other assets, amounted to $42
million and $32 million at December 31, 1993 and January 1, 1993, respectively.
 
10. CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED DEBT
 
  In June 1991, the Company issued $675 million (principal amount at maturity)
of zero coupon convertible subordinated debt in the form of Liquid Yield Option
Notes (LYONs) due 2006. Net proceeds from the LYONs issuance approximated $200
million, representing a yield to maturity of 8.25% per annum.
 
  Pursuant to the LYONs Allocation Agreement which was executed in connection
with the Distribution, Marriott International assumed 90% and the Company
retained 10% of the debt obligations evidenced by the LYONs. The LYONs were
convertible into 13.277 shares of the Company common stock and 13.277 shares of
Marriott International common stock for each $1,000 principal amount of LYONs.
 
  On December 13, 1993, the Company initiated a call of the LYONs to be
redeemed on January 25, 1994. Substantially all of the LYONs' holders elected
to convert their LYONs into the Company's common stock and Marriott
International common stock prior to the redemption. LYONs were converted into
8.3 million shares of the Company's common stock through December 31, 1993.
Subsequent to year-end, substantially all of the remaining LYONs were converted
into .7 million additional shares of the Company's common stock.

11. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
 
  Three hundred million shares of common stock, with a par value of $1 per
share, are authorized, of which 129.7 million and 105.0 million were issued as
of December 31, 1993 and January 1, 1993, respectively. One million shares of
preferred stock, without par value, are authorized, of which 286 (equivalent to
286,000 depositary shares) were issued as of December 31, 1993. Additional
paid-in capital at December 31, 1993 includes deferred compensation credits of
$10 million.
 
  In December 1991, the Company issued four million non-voting depositary
shares, each representing 1/1000th share of 8.25% Series A cumulative
convertible preferred stock (no par value) for net proceeds totaling $195
million. Each depositary share was convertible at any time at the option of the
holder into approximately 2.87 shares of common stock. In September 1993,
approximately 92% or 3.7 million depositary shares were converted into 10.6
million shares of Company common stock. As a result, holders of the common
shares issued upon conversion participated in the Distribution. On September
30, 1993, the Company's Board of Directors adjusted the conversion rate of the
Company's remaining depositary shares to reflect the Distribution. Each
depositary share is currently convertible at any time at the option of the
holder into 19.16 shares of common stock of the Company. Dividends, if
declared, are payable quarterly. The Company intends to pay dividends only to
the extent of earnings, and the Company did not pay a dividend in the fourth
quarter of 1993. Beginning on January 15, 1996, the Series A preferred stock is
redeemable, in whole or in part, at the Company's option, at $52.48 per
depositary share, declining ratably to $50 per depositary share in 2002, plus
accrued and unpaid dividends to the redemption date.
 
  In February 1989, the Board of Directors adopted a shareholder rights plan
under which a dividend of one preferred stock purchase right was distributed
for each outstanding share of the Company's common stock to shareholders of
record on February 20, 1989. Each right entitles the holder to buy 1/1000th of
a share of a newly issued series of junior participating preferred stock of the
Company at an exercise price of $150 per share. The rights will be exercisable
10 days after a person or group acquires beneficial ownership of 20% or more of
the Company's common stock, or begins a tender or Exchange Offer for 30% or
more of the Company's common stock. Shares owned by a person or group on
February 3, 1989 and held continuously thereafter are exempt for purposes of
determining beneficial ownership under the rights plan. The rights are
nonvoting and will expire on February 2, 1999, unless exercised or previously
redeemed by the Company for $.01 each. If the Company is involved in a merger
or certain other business combinations not approved by the Board of Directors,
each right entitles its holder, other than the acquiring person or group, to
purchase common stock of either the Company or the acquirer having a value of
twice the exercise price of the right.
 
  In connection with the class action settlement, the Company has agreed to
issue warrants to purchase up to 7.7 million shares of the Company's common
stock (see Note 17).

Company has an employee stock purchase plan (the "stock purchase plan"). The
principal terms and conditions of the two plans are summarized on the following
page.
 
  Employee stock options may be granted to officers and key employees at not
less than fair market value on the date of grant. Option granted before May 11,
1990 expire 10 years after the date of grant and nonqualified options granted
on or after May 11, 1990 expire up to 15 years after the date of grant. Most
options vest ratably over each of the first four years. In connection with the
Distribution, the Company issued an equivalent number of Marriott International
options and adjusted the exercise prices of its options then outstanding based
on the relative trading prices of the common stock of the two companies.
Therefore, the options outstanding at December 31, 1993 reflect these revised
exercise prices. Option activity is summarized as follows:

  Deferred stock incentive plan shares granted to officers and key employees
after 1990 generally vest over 10 years in annual installments commencing one
year after the date of grant. Certain employees may elect to defer payments
until termination or retirement. Deferred stock incentive plan shares granted
in 1990 and prior years generally vest in annual installments commencing one
year after the date of grant and continuing until retirement. Employees also
could elect to forfeit one-fourth of their deferred stock incentive plan award
in exchange for accelerated vesting over a 10-year period. The Company accrues
compensation expense for the fair market value of the shares on the date of
grant, less estimated forfeitures. In 1993, 1992 and 1991, 489,000, 671,000 and
1,180,000 shares were granted, respectively, under this plan.
 
  In 1993, restricted stock plan shares under the comprehensive plan were
issued to officers and key executives and will be distributed over the next
three to five years in annual installments based on continued employment and
the attainment of certain performance criteria. The Company recognizes
compensation expense over the restriction period equal to the fair market value
of the shares on the date of issuance adjusted for forfeitures, and where
appropriate, the level of attainment of performance criteria and fluctuations
in the fair market value of the stock. Prior to 1993, restricted stock shares
were issued to officers and key employees and are distributed over 10 years in
annual installments, subject to certain prescribed conditions including
continued employment. The Company recognizes compensation expense on these pre-
1993 awards over the

restriction period equal to the fair market value of the shares on the date of
issuance. The Company issued 3,537,000, 32,000 and 40,000 shares under these
plans in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.
 
  Under the terms of the stock purchase plan, eligible employees may purchase
common stock through payroll deductions at the lower of market value at the
beginning or end of the plan year.
 
13. PROFIT SHARING PLANS AND POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFIT PLANS
 
  The Company contributes to profit sharing and other defined contribution
plans for the benefit of employees meeting certain eligibility requirements and
electing participation in the plans. Company contributions are determined
annually by the Board of Directors, and totaled $20 million for 1993, $25
million for 1992, and $24 million for 1991.
 
  The Company provides medical benefits to a limited number of retired
employees meeting restrictive eligibility requirements. The Company's adoption
of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting
for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions" during 1992 did not have any
material effect.
 
14. HOST/TRAVEL PLAZAS RESTRUCTURING
 
  In November 1993, the Company's Host/Travel Plazas Business announced a plan
to redesign its operations structure to improve the effectiveness and
competitiveness of the business. Implementation of the new structure is
expected to be completed in the first quarter of 1994. The Company will incur
costs of approximately $7 million, principally for severance, relocation, and
the closing of certain offices. The Company took a restructuring charge in the
fourth quarter of 1993 to reflect these costs.
 
15. DISPOSITIONS
 
  During the fourth quarter of 1993, the Company realized proceeds of
approximately $42 million on the disposition of two preferred stock
investments.
 
  In February 1992, the Company sold 13 Courtyard hotels for $146 million in a
sale/leaseback transaction. The Company also sold seven full service hotels in
1992, for total proceeds of $200 million. Pre-tax gains on these full service
hotel sales of approximately $15 million were offset by adjustments to
previously established reserves, resulting in no net gain or loss.
 
  In 1992 and 1991, the Company sold with recourse certain timeshare notes
receivable taken by its vacation resorts division in connection with the sale
of timesharing units. Net proceeds from these transactions totaled $34 million
in 1992 and $73 million in 1991.
 
  During 1991, the Company sold four Courtyard hotels to the Marriott
Corporation Employees' Profit Sharing, Retirement and Savings Plan and Trust
for total proceeds of $33 million. As a result of the Distribution, Marriott
International currently operates these hotels under a long-term agreement.
 
  In December 1989, the Company announced a decision to sell its fast food and
family restaurant operations. A pre-tax provision of $61 million was recorded
at that time to reduce restaurant assets to net realizable value, and to
provide for other costs related to the discontinuance of these businesses. In
April 1990, the Company sold its Roy Rogers fast food restaurant division to
Hardee's Food Systems, Inc. for $365 million in cash, plus the assumption of
certain liabilities by the buyer. Sale proceeds were reported as a reduction of
the Company's remaining investment in restaurant properties held for sale. The
Company sold

10 family restaurants in 1993, 203 in 1992 and 138 in 1991 for cash proceeds of
$4 million, $23 million and $43 million, respectively.
 
16. RELATIONSHIP WITH MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL
 
  In connection with the Distribution, the Company and Marriott International
have entered into various agreements which provide, among other things, that
(i) lodging properties owned by the Company as of the Distribution Date will be
managed by Marriott International under agreements with initial terms of 20
years and which are subject to renewal at the option of Marriott International
for up to three additional 10-year terms, (ii) the Company will lease its owned
senior living communities to Marriott International (see Note 8), (iii)
Marriott International will guarantee the Company's performance in connection
with certain loans and other obligations, (iv) the Company can borrow up to
$630 million for certain permitted uses under the Revolving Line of Credit and
up to $125 million of first mortgage financing for construction of the
Philadelphia Convention Center Hotel (see Note 9) and (v) Marriott
International assumes 90% of the LYONs obligation (see Note 10).
 
  From the Distribution Date through December 31, 1993, the Company paid to
Marriott International $5 million in lodging management fees, $5 million in
interest and commitment fees under the Revolving Line of Credit and
Philadelphia Convention Center Hotel mortgage, and $3 million under the various
transitional services agreements, and earned $5 million under the senior living
community leases during 1993. The Company purchased $14 million of food and
supplies in 1993, after the Distribution Date, from affiliates of Marriott
International.
 
  Additionally, Marriott International has the right to purchase up to 20% of
the voting stock of the Company if certain events involving a change in control
of the Company occur. Marriott International also has the right of first offer
if the Company decides to sell the Host/Travel Plazas Business.
 
17. LITIGATION
 
  In March 1993, the Company reached agreement in principle (the "class action
settlement") with certain holders and recent purchasers of the Company's Old
Notes, who had either instituted or threatened litigation in response to the
Distribution. In August 1993, the United States District Court approved the
settlement with the members of certain classes of the Company's holders and
recent purchasers of the Senior Notes.
 
  A group of bond holders, purported to have at one time owned approximately
$120 million of Senior Notes, and another group purporting to hold
approximately $7.5 million of Senior Notes, have opted out of the settlement.
The two groups allege that laws had been violated in connection with the sale
by the Company of certain series of its Senior Notes and debentures and claim
damages of approximately $30 million. The Company believes the claims are
without merit and that the ultimate outcome of such litigation pursued by those
who opted out of the settlement will not have a material effect on the
financial condition or results of operations of the Company.
 
  The class action settlement included a settlement for the benefit of certain
persons who sold Senior Notes of the Company after October 5, 1992, the date on
which the planned Distribution was publicly announced and, therefore, were not
in position to participate in the Exchange Offer. In connection with this
settlement, the Company has agreed to issue warrants to purchase up to 7.7
million shares of Host Marriott common stock. Such warrants would be
exercisable for five years from the Distribution Date, at $8.00 per share
during the first three years and $10.00 per share during the last two years.

1993. A fair value is assigned to commitments with expected future fundings.
The fair value of the commitments represents the net expected future payments
discounted at risk-adjusted rates. Such payments are accrued on an undiscounted
basis.
 
  The fair value of interest rate swap agreements is based on the estimated
amount the Company would receive to terminate the swap agreements. The
aggregate notional amount of the agreements was $500 million and $627 million
at December 31, 1993 and January 1, 1993, respectively.

a charge of $11 million related to a write-down of lodging properties (see Note
3), a charge of $7 million related to the Host/Travel Plazas Business
Restructuring (see Note 14) and the extraordinary loss of $5 million (net-of-
tax) on the extinguishment of debt (see Note 2). As a result of the
Distribution, Marriott International's operations have been substantially
eliminated from the fourth quarter 1993 data.
 
  The sum of the earnings (loss) per common share for the four quarters in 1993
and 1992 differs from the annual earnings per common share due to the required
method of computing the weighted average number of shares in the respective
periods.
 
  The first and second quarter 1993 income and per share data have been
restated to reflect the cumulative effect of the change in accounting for
assets held for sale as if it had occurred in the first quarter of 1993 (see
Note 3). First quarter 1993 earnings per common share was also impacted by the
Company's accounting change for income taxes (see Note 7).
 
21. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
  On January 27, 1994, the Company completed the issuance of 20.1 million
shares of common stock for net proceeds of $231 million. HMC Acquisitions, Inc.
("HMC Acquisitions"), a newly-formed subsidiary, was capitalized with a portion
of the proceeds from the common stock offering. The amount used to capitalize
HMC Acquisitions and any earnings therefrom will be available for investment on
an unrestricted basis. HMC Acquisitions is a guarantor under the Revolving Line
of Credit.

                   HOST MARRIOTT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
                                  (UNAUDITED)
 
1. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Host
   Marriott Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company", formerly Marriott
   Corporation) have been prepared by the Company without audit. Certain
   information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
   statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting
   principles have been condensed or omitted. The Company believes the
   disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not
   misleading. However, the condensed consolidated financial statements should
   be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes
   thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
   year ended December 31, 1993.
 
    In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed
  consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (which include
  only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the
  financial position of Host Marriott Corporation and subsidiaries as of June
  17, 1994 and December 31, 1993, and the results of operations for the
  twenty-four weeks ended June 17, 1994 and June 18, 1993, and cash flows for
  the twenty-four weeks ended June 17, 1994 and June 18, 1993. Interim
  results are not necessarily indicative of fiscal year performance because
  of the impact of seasonal and short-term variations.
 
2. On October 8, 1993 (the "Distribution Date"), Marriott Corporation
   distributed, through a special tax-free dividend (the "Distribution"), to
   holders of Marriott Corporation's common stock (on a share-for-share basis),
   approximately 116.4 million outstanding shares of common stock of an
   existing wholly-owned subsidiary, Marriott International, resulting in the
   division of Marriott Corporation's operations into two separate companies.
   The distributed operations included the former Marriott Corporation's
   lodging management, franchising and resort timesharing operations, senior
   living service operations, and the institutional food service and facilities
   management business. Effective at the Distribution Date, Marriott
   Corporation changed its name to Host Marriott Corporation.
 
    In connection with the Distribution, the Company completed an exchange
  offer ("Exchange Offer") pursuant to which holders of senior notes and
  debentures in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $1.2 billion
  ("Old Notes") exchanged such Old Notes for a combination of (i) cash, (ii)
  common stock and (iii) New Notes ("New Notes") issued by an indirect
  wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Host Marriott Hospitality, Inc.
  ("Hospitality"). The coupon and maturity date for each series of New Notes
  is 100 basis points higher and four years later, respectively, than the
  series of Old Notes for which it was exchanged (except that the maturity of
  the New Notes issued in exchange for the Series L Senior Notes due 2012 was
  shortened by five years). The Company redeemed all of the old Series F
  Senior Notes that did not tender in the Exchange Offer, and secured the old
  Series I Notes equally and ratably with the New Notes issued in the
  Exchange Offer.
 
    In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Company effected a
  restructuring (the "Restructuring"). As a result of the Restructuring, the
  Company's primary asset is the capital stock of a wholly-owned subsidiary,
  HMH Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings"). Holdings' primary asset is the capital
  stock of Hospitality, and Holdings is the borrower under a Revolving Line
  of Credit with Marriott International. In the Restructuring, most of the
  assets relating to the Real Estate Group and the Operating Group were
  transferred to subsidiaries of Hospitality. Certain assets relating to such
  businesses were retained directly by the Company and certain of its other
  subsidiaries. In addition, HMC Ventures, Inc., an unrestricted subsidiary,
  was capitalized during the first quarter of 1994 with approximately $50
  million from recent asset dispositions.

3. The Distribution Exchange Offer and Restructuring referred to in Note 2
   substantially altered the structure of the Company. Historical operating
   results for the twenty-four weeks ended June 18, 1993, as presented in prior
   filings, have been reformatted to reflect the Company's current business
   segments and operating environment. The Real Estate Group is comprised of
   the development and ownership businesses, partnership investments and
   undeveloped land parcels. The Operating Group consists of the food, beverage
   and merchandise operations at airports, on tollroads and at tourist
   attractions, stadiums and arenas, as well as restaurant operations. The 1993
   pro forma statement of operations was prepared as if the Distribution,
   Exchange Offer and Restructuring and the implementation of the various
   related agreements entered into with Marriott International, including the
   lodging management and senior living community leases, occurred at the
   beginning of the period and include only the operations retained by the
   Company. The other differences between the 1993 pro forma amounts and the
   1993 historical operating results are:     
   
.  The 1993 historical condensed consolidated statement of operations include
   the revenues, operating costs and expenses, corporate expenses, interest
   expense and interest income relating to Marriott International in the
   caption, "Profit from Operations Distributed to Marriott International,"
   while the 1993 pro forma amounts have such results removed. Marriott
   International's results of operations for the twenty-four weeks ended June
   18, 1993 included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial
   statements consist of the following (in millions):

.  In the 1994 historical and 1993 pro forma condensed consolidated statements
   of operations, revenues for the Real Estate Group represent house profit
   from the Company's owned hotel properties, lease rentals for the Company's
   owned senior living communities and gains/losses on property transactions.
   House profit represents hotel operating results less property-level expenses
   excluding depreciation, real and personal property taxes, ground rent,
   insurance and management fees which are classified as operating costs and
   expenses.

  The 1993 historical condensed consolidated statement of operations reports
the Real Estate Group revenues as gross sales of the Company's owned hotels and
senior living communities, while the related property-level expenses are
included in operating costs and expenses. House profit generated by the
Company's owned hotels for 1994 and 1993 (on a pro forma basis) consists of:

.  The 1993 pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations reflects
   adjustments to interest expense for the impact of the Revolving Line of
   Credit with Marriott International (commitment fees and interest), the
   effects of the Exchange Offer, debt assumed by Marriott International and
   the income tax impact of the pro forma adjustments.
 
.  In connection with the Exchange Offer, the Company issued 1.8 million common
   shares to former holders of certain senior notes and debentures and issued
   10.6 million common shares to former holders of the Company's preferred
   stock, upon such holders' conversion. The pro forma 1993 loss per share
   gives effect to these transactions as if they had occurred at the first day
   of fiscal year 1993. The related weighted average shares outstanding were
   114.4 million for the twenty-four weeks ended June 18, 1993.
 
  Additionally, the majority of the Company's assets are primarily related to
its Real Estate Group and, accordingly, the balance sheet has been presented in
a non-classified format.
 
4. Earnings (loss) per common share is computed on a fully diluted basis by
   dividing net income (loss) available for common stock by the weighted
   average number of outstanding common and common equivalent shares, plus
   other potentially dilutive securities. Common equivalent shares and other
   potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the weighted average
   number of outstanding shares for the twenty-four weeks ended June 17, 1994,
   as they are antidilutive. Accordingly, the weighted average shares were
   149.6 million and 109.1 million for the twenty-four weeks ended June 17,
   1994 and June 18, 1993, respectively.

6.  On January 20, 1994, the Company completed the issuance of 20.1 million
    shares of common stock for net proceeds of $231 million. HMC Acquisitions,
    Inc. ("HMC Acquisitions"), a newly-formed subsidiary, was capitalized with
    $210 million of the proceeds from the common stock offering. The amount used
    to capitalize HMC Acquisitions and any earnings therefrom will be available
    for investment on an unrestricted basis. HMC Acquisitions is a guarantor
    under the Revolving Line of Credit with Marriott International.
 
7.  During the first quarter of 1994, the Company foreclosed on a 29% interest
    and completed the transfer of an additional 7% interest in the Times Square
    Hotel Company ("TSHCO"), the owner of the New York Marriott Marquis, to the
    Company. The Company currently holds an 86% interest in TSHCO, which is
    consolidated in the Company's financial statements.
 
8.  During the first quarter of 1994, the Company signed an agreement to sell
    its 14 senior living communities to an unrelated entity for $320 million,
    which approximates the communities' carrying value. The sale of nine of the
    communities was completed during the second quarter and the sale of the five
    remaining communities was completed in the third quarter of 1994.
 
9.  During the third quarter of 1994, the Company sold 26 of its Fairfield Inns
    by Marriott hotels to an unrelated party. The net proceeds from the sale
    were approximately $114 million, which exceeded the carrying value of the
    hotels by approximately $12 million. Approximately $27 million of the
    proceeds were payable in the form of a note from the purchaser. The gain on
    the sale of these hotels will be deferred.
 
10. The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112,
    "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits" and Statement of
    Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Debt and
    Equity Securities" during the first quarter of 1994. Implementation of these
    statements did not have a material effect on the Company's financial
    position or results of operations.

Item 14.  Indemnification of Officers and Directors
    
     Article Eleventh and Article Sixteenth of the Company's Certificate and
Section 7.7 of the Bylaws limit the personal liability of directors to the
Company or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty.
The provisions of the Company Certificate and Bylaws are collectively referred
to herein as the "Director Liability and Indemnification Provisions."  The
Company Certificate and the Company Bylaws are included as exhibits to this
Registration Statement on Form S-1 of which this Prospectus is a part.     

     The Director Liability and Indemnification Provisions define and clarify
the rights of certain individuals, including Company directors and officers, to
indemnification by the Company in the event of personal liability or expenses
incurred by them as a result of certain litigation against them.  Such
provisions are consistent with Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General
Corporation Law, which is designed, among other things, to encourage qualified
individuals to serve as directors of Delaware corporations by permitting
Delaware corporations to include in their articles or certificates of
incorporation a provision limiting or eliminating directors' liability for
monetary damages and with other existing Delaware General Corporation Law
provisions permitting indemnification of certain individuals, including
directors and officers.  The limitations of liability in the Director Liability
and Indemnification Provisions may not affect claims arising under the federal
securities laws.

     In performing their duties, directors of a Delaware corporation are
obligated as fiduciaries to exercise their business judgment and act in what
they reasonably determine in good faith, after appropriate consideration, to be
the best interests of the corporation and its shareholders.  Decisions made on
that basis are protected by the so-called "business judgment rule."  The
business judgment rule is designed to protect directors from personal liability
to the corporation or its shareholders when business decisions are subsequently
challenged.  However, the expense of defending lawsuits, the frequency with
which unwarranted litigation is brought against directors and the inevitable
uncertainties with respect to the outcome of applying the business judgment rule
to particular facts and circumstances mean that, as a practical matter,
directors and officers of a corporation rely on indemnity from, and insurance
procured by, the corporation they serve, as a financial backstop in the event of
such expenses or unforeseen liability.  The Delaware legislature has recognized
that adequate insurance and indemnity provisions are often a condition of an
individual's willingness to serve as director of a Delaware corporation.  The
Delaware General Corporation Law has for some time specifically permitted
corporations to provide indemnity and procure insurance for its directors and
officers.

     Recent changes in the market for directors and officers liability insurance
have resulted in the unavailability for directors and officers of many
corporations of any meaningful liability insurance coverage.  Insurance carriers
have in certain cases declined to renew existing directors and officers
liability policies, or have increased premiums to such an extent that the cost
of obtaining such insurance becomes prohibitive.  Moreover, current policies
often exclude coverage for areas where the service of qualified independent
directors is most needed.  For example, many policies do not cover

                                      II-1
<PAGE>
 
liabilities or expenses arising from directors' and officers' activities in
response to attempts to take over a corporation.  Such limitations on the scope
of insurance coverage, along with high deductibles and low limits of liability,
have undermined meaningful directors and officers liability insurance coverage.

     The unavailability of meaningful directors and officers liability insurance
is attributable to a number of factors, many of which are affecting the
liability insurance industry generally, including granting of unprecedented
damages awards and reduced investment income on insurance company investments.

     According to published sources, the inability of corporations to provide
meaningful directors and officers liability insurance has had a damaging effect
on the ability of public corporations to recruit and retain corporate directors.
Although the Company has not directly experienced this problem, the Company
believes it is necessary to take every possible step to ensure that they will be
able to attract the best possible officers and directors.

     Set forth below is a description of the Director Liability and
Indemnification Provisions.  Such description is intended as a summary only and
is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Company Certificate and the
Company Bylaws.

     Elimination of Liability in Certain Circumstances.  Article Sixteenth of
the Company Certificate protects directors against monetary damages for breaches
of their fiduciary duty of care, except as set forth below.  Under the Delaware
General Corporation Law, absent such liability provisions as are provided in
Article Sixteenth, directors could generally be held liable for gross negligence
for decisions made in the performance of their duty of care but not for simple
negligence.  Article Sixteenth eliminates liability of directors for negligence
in the performance of their duties, including gross negligence.  In a context
not involving a decision by the directors (i.e., a suit alleging loss to the
Company due to the directors' inattention to a particular matter) a simple
negligence standard might apply.  Directors remain liable for breaches of their
duty of loyalty to the Company and its shareholders, as well as acts or
omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of law and transactions from which a director derives improper
personal benefit.  Article Sixteenth does not eliminate director liability under
Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which makes directors
personally liable for unlawful dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or
redemptions and expressly sets forth a negligence standard with respect to such
liability.

     While the Director Liability and Indemnification Provisions provide
directors with protection from awards of monetary damages for breaches of the
duty of care, they do not eliminate the directors' duty of care.  Accordingly,
these provisions will have no effect on the availability of equitable remedies
such as an injunction or rescission based upon a director's breach of the duty
of care.  The provisions of Article Sixteenth, which eliminates liability as
described above, will apply to officers of the Company only if they are
directors of the Company and are acting in their capacity as directors, and will
not apply to officers of the Company who are not directors.  The elimination of
liability of directors for monetary damages in the circumstances described above
may deter persons from bringing third-party or derivative actions against
directors to the extent such actions seek monetary damages.

     Indemnification and Insurance.  Under Section 145 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law, directors and officers as well as other employees and
individuals may be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with specified
actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation - a
"derivative action") if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the company, and with
respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe
their conduct was unlawful.  A similar standard of care is applicable in the
case of the derivative actions, except that indication only extends to expenses
(including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with defense or settlement of
such an action, and the Delaware General Corporation Law requires court approval
before there can be any indemnification where the person seeking indemnification
has been found liable to the corporation.

     Section 7.7 of the Bylaws provides that the Company shall indemnify any
person to whom, and to the extent, indemnification may be granted pursuant to
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation law.

                                      II-2
<PAGE>
 
     Article Eleventh of the Company Certificate provides that a person who was
or is made a party to, or is involved in, any action, suit or proceeding by
reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer or employee of the
Company will be indemnified by the Company against all expenses and liabilities,
including counsel fees, reasonably incurred by or imposed upon him, except in
such cases where the director, officer or employee is adjudged guilty of willful
misfeasance or malfeasance in the performance of his duties.  Article Eleventh
also provides that the right of indemnification shall be in addition to and not
exclusive of all other rights to which such director, officer or employee may be
entitled.

ITEM 17:  UNDERTAKINGS

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of registrant pursuant to the provisions described under Item 14 above,
or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a
claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of such registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

     (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement;
    
          (i)   To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
     Securities Act of 1933;

          (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
     the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-
     effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
     represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
     registration statement;

          (iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
     distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any
     material change to such information in the registration statement.      

     (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

     (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.

             REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS ON SCHEDULES

To Host Marriott Corporation

    We have audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, 
the consolidated financial statements of Host Marriott Corporation and 
subsidiaries (formerly Marriott Corporation), included in this registration 
statement and have issued our report thereon dated February 25, 1994. Our audits
were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic consolidated
financial statements taken as a whole. The schedules appearing on pages S-2
through S-9 are the responsibility of the Company's management and are presented
for purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange Commision's rules and
are not part of the basic consolidated financial statements. These schedules
have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the
basic consolidated financial statements and, in our opinion, fairly state in
all material respects the financial data required to be set forth therein in
relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

                           HOST MARRIOTT CORPORATION
                 CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF REGISTRANT

                    NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION


A)   On October 8, 1993, Host Marriott Corporation (the "Parent Company,"
     formerly Marriott Corporation) completed a distribution of Marriott
     International common stock and an exchange offer.  See Note 2 to the
     Company's consolidated financial statements for more information about the
     Distribution and exchange offer.

     In connection with the exchange offer, the Parent Company effected a
     restructuring (the "Restructuring").  As a result of the Restructuring, the
     Parent Company's primary asset is the capital stock of a wholly-owned
     subsidiary, HMH Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings").  Holdings' primary asset is
     the capital stock of Host Marriott Hospitality, Inc. ("Hospitality"), and
     Holdings is the borrower under a $630 million Revolving Line of Credit with
     Marriott International.

     In the Restructuring, most of the Parent Company's real estate and
     operating assets were transferred to subsidiaries of Hospitality.  The
     remaining assets were retained directly by the Parent Company and certain
     of its other subsidiaries (the "Retained Businesses") and are unrestricted.

     Hospitality is the issuer of Senior Notes secured by a pledge of the stock
     of, and guaranteed by, Holdings, Hospitality and certain of its
     subsidiaries.  The indenture governing these Notes contain covenants that,
     among other things, limit the ability of Hospitality to pay dividends and
     make other distributions and restricted payments, incur additional debt,
     create additional liens on its subsidiaries' assets, engage in certain
     transactions with related parties, enter into agreements which restrict a
     subsidiary in paying dividends or making certain other payments and limit
     the activities and businesses of Holdings.  At December 31, 1993,
     substantially all of Hospitality's net assets are restricted.

     Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements present the operations
     of the Parent Company and Retained Businesses with the investment in, and
     operations of, Holdings and Hospitality presented on the equity method of
     accounting.

B)   The accompanying financial statements present the financial position,
     results of operations and cash flows of the Parent Company and Retained
     Businesses as if the organizational structure described in Note A was in
     place for all periods presented.  Marriott Corporation's historical basis
     in the assets and liabilities of the Parent Company and Retained Businesses
     has been carried over.  All material intercompany transactions between the
     companies have been eliminated.

                        CERTIFICATE OF CORRECTION FILED
                       TO CORRECT A CERTAIN ERROR IN THE
                    RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION OF
                           HOST MARRIOTT CORPORATION
                    FILED IN THE OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF
                      STATE OF DELAWARE ON AUGUST 11, 1992


          HOST MARRIOTT CORPORATION (FORMERLY KNOWN AS MARRIOTT CORPORATION), a
corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware,

          DOES HEREBY CERTIFY:

          1.  The name of the corporation is Host Marriott Corporation.

          2.  A Restated Certificate of Incorporation was filed with the
Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on August 11, 1992, and said
Certificate requires correction as permitted by subsection (f) of Section 103 of
The General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

          3.  The inaccuracy or defect of said Certificate to be corrected is as
follows:

          The Restated Certificate of Incorporation correctly reflects that
Three Hundred Thousand (300,000) shares of the Corporation's Preferred Stock
have been designated as Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock and Four
Thousand (4,000) shares of the Corporation's Preferred Stock have been
designated as Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock.  The former
designation was established by a Certificate of Designations filed with the
Secretary of State on February 10, 1989 and the latter designation was
established by a Certificate of Designations filed with the Secretary of State
on December 18, 1991.  The rights and preferences of each of the Series A Junior
Participating Preferred Stock and Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred
Stock were inadvertently omitted from the Restated Certificate of Incorporation.
Said rights and preferences should be set forth in full in Article Fourth of the
Restated Certificate.

          4.  Article Fourth of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation is
corrected to read in its entirety as follows:

              FOURTH. The total number of shares of all classes of stock which
the corporation shall have authority to issue is Three Hundred and One Million
(301,000,000). Of such shares, (i) Three Hundred Million (300,000,000) shall be
Common Stock of the par value of One Dollar ($1.00) per share, and (ii) One

                                       1
<PAGE>
 
Million (1,000,000) shall be Preferred Stock without par value.  Of the
Preferred Stock shares, (i) Three Hundred Thousand (300,000) shall be designated
as Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock without par value, and (ii)
Four Thousand (4,000) shall be designated as Series A Cumulative Convertible
Preferred Stock without par value.  The shares of authorized Common Stock of the
corporation shall be identical in all respects and shall have equal rights and
privileges.

              No holder of stock of any class of the corporation, whether now or
hereafter authorized or issued, shall be entitled as such, as a matter of right,
to subscribe for or purchase any part of any new or additional issue of stock of
any class whatsoever, or of any securities convertible into stock of any class,
or any character or to which are attached or with which are issued warrants or
rights to purchase any such stock, whether now or hereafter authorized, issued
or sold, or whether issued for moneys, property or services, or by way of
dividend or otherwise, or any right or subscription to any thereof, other than
such, if any, as the board of directors in its discretion may from time to time
fix, pursuant to authority hereby conferred upon it; and any shares of stock or
convertible obligations with warrants or rights to purchase any such stock,
which the board of directors may determine to offer for subscription, may be
sold without being first offered to any of the holders of the stock of the
corporation of any class or classes or may, as such board shall determine, be
offered to holders of any class or classes of stock exclusively or to the
holders of all classes of stock, and if offered to more than one class of stock,
in such properties as between such classes of stock as the board of directors,
in its discretion, may determine.

              The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more
series pursuant to a resolution or resolutions providing for such issue duly
adopted by the board of directors (authority to do so being hereby expressly
vested in the board) and such resolution or resolutions shall also set forth the
voting powers, full or limited or none, of each such series of Preferred Stock
and shall fix the designations, preferences and relative, participating,
optional or other special rights, and qualifications, limitations or
restrictions of each such series of Preferred Stock.

          SECTION A.  DESIGNATION AND AMOUNT.  The shares of such series shall
                      ----------------------                                  
be designated as "Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock" and the number
of shares constituting such series shall be 300,000.

          SECTION B.  DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS.
                      --------------------------- 

               1.  Subject to the prior and superior rights of the holders of
any shares of any series of Preferred Stock ranking prior and superior to the
shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock with respect to
dividends, the holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred
Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of
Directors out of funds legally available for the purpose, quarterly dividends
payable in cash on the last day of March, June, September and December in each
year (each such date being referred to herein as a "Quarterly Dividend Payment
Date"), commencing on the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date after the first
issuance of a share or fraction of a share of Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock, in an amount per share (rounded to the nearest cent) equal to
the greater of (a) $10 or (b) subject to the provision for adjustment
hereinafter set forth, 1000 times the aggregate per share amount of all cash
dividends, and 1000 times the aggregate per share amount (payable in kind) of
all non-cash dividends or other distributions other than a dividend payable in
shares of common stock, par value $1 per share, of the Corporation (the "Common
Stock") or a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by
reclassification or otherwise), declared on the Common Stock, since the
immediately preceding Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, or, with respect to the
first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, since the first issuance of any share or
fraction of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock. In the
event the Corporation shall at any time after February 3, 1989 (the "Rights
Declaration Date") (i) declare any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of
Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock, or (iii) combine the
outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case
the amount to which holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred
Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event under clause (b) of the
preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction
the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of
shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

               2.  Dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative on
outstanding shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock from the
Quarterly Dividend Payment Date next preceding the date of issue of such shares
of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, unless the date of issue of
such shares is prior to the record date for the first Quarterly Dividend Payment
Date, in which case dividends on such shares shall begin to accrue from the date
of issue of such shares, or unless the date of issue is a Quarterly

                                       3
<PAGE>
 
Dividend Payment Date or is a date after the record date for the determination
of holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock entitled
to receive a quarterly dividend and before such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date,
in either of which events such dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative
from such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date.  Accrued but unpaid dividends shall
not bear interest.  Dividends paid on the shares of Series A Junior
Participating Preferred Stock in an amount less than the total amount of such
dividends at the time accrued and payable on such shares shall be allocated pro
rata on a share-by-share basis among all such shares at the time outstanding.
The Board of Directors may fix a record date for the determination of holders of
shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock entitled to receive
payment of a dividend or distribution declared thereon, which record date shall
be no more than 30 days prior to the date fixed for the payment thereof.

          SECTION C.  VOTING RIGHTS.  The holders of shares of Series A Junior
                      -------------                                           
Participating Preferred Stock shall have the following voting rights:

               1.  Subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set
forth, each share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall entitle
the holder thereof to 1000 votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the
stockholders of the Corporation. In the event the Corporation shall at any time
after the Rights Declaration Date (i) declare any dividend on Common Stock
payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock,
or (iii) combine the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares,
then in each such case the number of votes per where to which holders of shares
of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior
to such event shall be adjusted by multiplying such number by a fraction the
numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of
shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

               2.  Except as otherwise provided herein or by law, the holders of
shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock and the holders of
shares of Common Stock shall vote together as one class on all matters submitted
to a vote of stockholders of the Corporation.

               3.  a.  If at any time dividends on any Series A Junior
     Participating Preferred Stock shall be in arrears in an amount equal to six
     (6) quarterly dividends thereon, the occurrence of such contingency shall
     mark the beginning of a period (herein called a "default period") which
     shall extend until such time when all accrued and

                                       4
<PAGE>
 
     unpaid dividends for all previous quarterly dividend periods and for the
     current quarterly dividend period on all shares of Series A Junior
     Participating Preferred Stock then outstanding shall have been declared and
     paid or set apart for payment.  During each default period, all holders of
     Preferred Stock (including holders of the Series A Junior Participating
     Preferred Stock) with dividends in arrears in an amount equal to six (6)
     quarterly dividends thereon, voting as a class, irrespective of series,
     shall have the right to elect two (2) Directors.

               b.  During any default period, such voting right of the holders
     of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock may be exercised initially
     at a special meeting called pursuant to subparagraph (iii) of this Section
     3(C) or at any annual meeting of stockholders, and thereafter at annual
     meetings of stockholders, provided that neither such voting right nor the
     right of the holders of any other series of Preferred Stock, if any, to
     increase, in certain cases, the authorized number of Directors shall be
     exercised unless the holders of one-third in number of shares of Preferred
     Stock outstanding shall be present in person or by proxy.  The absence of a
     quorum of the holders of Common Stock shall not affect the exercise by the
     holders of Preferred Stock of such voting right.  At any meeting at which
     the holders of Preferred Stock shall exercise such voting right initially
     during an existing default period, they shall have the right, voting as a
     class, to elect Directors to fill such vacancies, if any, in the Board of
     Directors as may then exist up to two (2) Directors or, if such right is
     exercised at an annual meeting, to elect two (2) Directors.  If the number
     which may be so elected at any special meeting does not amount to the
     required number, the holders of the Preferred Stock shall have the right to
     make such increase in the number of Directors as shall be necessary to
     permit the election by them of the required number.  After the holders of
     the Preferred Stock shall have exercised their right to elect Directors in
     any default period and during the continuance of such period, the number of
     Directors shall not be increased or decreased except by vote of the holders
     of Preferred Stock as herein provided or pursuant to the rights of any
     equity securities ranking senior to or pari passu with the Series A Junior
                                            ---- -----                         
     Participating Preferred Stock.

               c.  Unless the holders of Preferred Stock shall, during an
     existing default period, have previously exercised their right to elect
     Directors, the Board of Directors may order, or any stockholder or
     stockholders owning in the aggregate not less than ten percent (10%) of

                                       5
<PAGE>
 
     the total number of shares of Preferred Stock outstanding, irrespective of
     series, may request, the calling of a special meeting of the holders of
     Preferred Stock, which meeting shall thereupon be called by the President,
     a Vice President or the Secretary of the Corporation.  Notice of such
     meeting and of any annual meeting at which holders of Preferred Stock are
     entitled to vote pursuant to this paragraph (C) (iii) shall be given to
     each holder of record of Preferred Stock by mailing a copy of such notice
     to him at his last address as the same appears on the books of the
     Corporation.  Such meeting shall be called for a time not earlier than 20
     days and not later than 60 days after such order or request or in default
     of the calling of such meeting within 60 days after such order or request,
     such meeting may be called on similar notice by any stockholder or
     stockholders owning in the aggregate not less than ten percent (10%) of the
     total number of shares of Preferred Stock outstanding.  Notwithstanding the
     provisions of this paragraph (C)(iii), no such special meeting shall be
     called during the period within 60 days immediately preceding the date
     fixed for the next annual meeting of the stockholders.

               d.  In any default period, the holders of Common Stock, and other
     classes of stock of the Corporation if applicable, shall continue to be
     entitled to elect the whole number of Directors until the holders of
     Preferred Stock shall have exercised their right to elect two (2) Directors
     voting as a class, after the exercise of which right (x) the Directors so
     elected by the holders of Preferred Stock shall continue in office until
     their successors shall have been elected by such holders or until the
     expiration of the default period, and (y) any vacancy in the Board of
     Directors may (except as provided in paragraph (C)(ii) of this Section 3)
     be filled by vote of a majority of the remaining Directors theretofore
     elected by the holders of the class of stock which elected the Director
     whose office shall have become vacant.  References in this paragraph (C) to
     Directors elected by the holders of a particular class of stock shall
     include Directors elected by such Directors to fill vacancies as provided
     in clause (y) of the foregoing sentence.

               e.  Immediately upon the expiration of a default period, (x) the
     right of the holders of Preferred Stock as a class to elect Directors shall
     cease, (y) the term of any Directors elected by the holders of Preferred
     Stock as a class shall terminate, and (z) the number of Directors shall be
     such number as may be provided for in the certificate of incorporation or
     by-laws irrespective of any increase made pursuant to the provisions of
     paragraph (C)(ii) of this Section 3 (such number being sub-

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
     ject, however, to change thereafter in any manner provided by law or in the
     certificate of incorporation or bylaws).  Any vacancies in the Board of
     Directors effected by the provisions of clauses (y) and (z) in the
     preceding sentence may be filled by a majority of the remaining Directors.

               4.  Except as set forth herein, holders of Series A Junior
Participating Preferred Stock shall have no special voting rights and their
consent shall not be required (except to the extent they are entitled to vote
with holders of Common Stock as set forth herein) for taking any corporate
action.

          SECTION D.  CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS.
                      -------------------- 

               1.   Whenever quarterly dividends or other dividends or
distributions payable on the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock as
provided in Section 2 are in arrears, thereafter and until all accrued and
unpaid dividends and distributions, whether or not declared, on shares of Series
A Junior Participating Preferred Stock outstanding shall have been paid in full,
the Corporation shall not

                    a. declare or pay dividends on, make any other distributions
          on, or redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any
          shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon
          liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Junior
          Participating Preferred Stock;

                    b. declare or pay dividends on or make any other
          distributions on any shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as to
          dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the
          Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, except dividends paid
          ratably on the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock and all
          such parity stock on which dividends are payable or in arrears in
          proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such
          shares are then entitled;

                    c. redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration
          shares of any stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or
          upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series A Junior
          Participating Preferred Stock, provided that the Corporation may at
          any time redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire shares of any such
          parity stock in exchange for shares of any stock of the Corporation
          ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon dissolution,
          liquidation or winding

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
          up) to the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock;

                    d. purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any
          shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, or any shares
          of stock ranking on a parity with the Series A Junior Participating
          Preferred Stock, except in accordance with a purchase offer made in
          writing or by publication (as determined by the Board of Directors) to
          all holders of such shares upon such terms as the Board of Directors,
          after consideration of the respective annual dividend rates and other
          relative rights and preferences of the respective series and classes,
          shall determine in good faith will result in fair and equitable
          treatment among the respective series or classes.

               2.   The Corporation shall not permit any subsidiary of the
Corporation to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of
stock of the Corporation unless the Corporation could, under paragraph (A) of
this Section 4, purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at such time and in
such manner.

          SECTION E.  REACQUIRED SHARES.  Any shares of Series A Junior
                      -----------------                                
Participating Preferred Stock purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation
in any manner whatsoever shall be retired and cancelled promptly after the
acquisition thereof.  All such shares shall upon their cancellation become
authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock and may be reissued as part of
a new series of Preferred Stock to be created by resolution or resolutions of
the Board of Directors, subject to the conditions and restrictions on issuance
set forth herein.

          SECTION F.  LIQUIDATION, DISSOLUTION OR WINDING UP.
                      -------------------------------------- 

               1.   Upon any liquidation (voluntary or otherwise), dissolution
or winding up of the Corporation, no distribution shall be made to the holders
of shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation,
dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock
unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock shall have received $1000 per share, plus an amount equal to
accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions thereon, whether or not declared,
to the date of such payment (the "Series A Liquidation Preference").  Following
the payment of the full amount of the Series A Liquidation Preference, no
additional distributions shall be made to the holders of shares of Series A
Junior Participating Preferred Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of
shares of Common Stock shall have received an

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
amount per share (the "Common Adjustment") equal to the quotient obtained by
dividing (i) the Series A Liquidation Preference by (ii) 1000 (as appropriately
adjusted as set forth in subparagraph C below to reflect such events as stock
splits, stock dividends and recapitalizations with respect to the Common Stock)
(such number in clause (ii) immediately above being referred to as the
"Adjustment Number").  Following the payment of the full amount of the Series A
Liquidation Preference and the Common Adjustment in respect of all outstanding
shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock and Common Stock,
respectively, holders of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock and
holders of shares of Common Stock shall receive their ratable and proportionate
share of the remaining assets to be distributed in the ratio of the Adjustment
Number to one (1) with respect to such Preferred Stock and Common Stock, on a
per share basis, respectively.

               2.   In the event, however, that there are not sufficient assets
available to permit payment in full of the Series A Liquidation preference and
the liquidation preferences of all other series of preferred stock, if any,
which rank on a parity with the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock,
then such remaining assets shall be distributed ratably to the holders of such
parity shares in proportion to their respective liquidation preferences.  In the
event, however, that there are not sufficient assets available to permit payment
in full of the Common Adjustment, then such remaining assets shall be
distributed ratably to the holders of Common Stock.

               3.   In the event the Corporation shall at any time after the
Rights Declaration Date (i) declare any dividend on Common Stock payable in
shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock, or (iii)
combine the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in
each such case the Adjustment Number in effect immediately prior to such event
shall be adjusted by multiplying such Adjustment Number by a fraction the
numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of
shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

          SECTION G.  CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, ETC.  In case the Corporation shall
                      --------------------------                                
enter into any consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction in which
the shares of Common Stock are exchanged for or changed into other stock or
securities, cash and/or any other property, then in any such case the shares of
Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall at the same time be
similarly exchanged or changed in an amount per share (subject to the provision
for adjustment hereinafter set forth) equal to 1000 times the aggregate amount
of stock, securities, cash and/or any other property (payable

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
in kind), as the case may be, into which or for which each share of Common Stock
is changed or exchanged.  In the event the Corporation shall at any time after
the Rights Declaration Date (i) declare any dividend on Common Stock payable in
shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock, or (iii)
combine the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in
each such case the amount set forth in the preceding sentence with respect to
the exchange or change of shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred
Stock shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction the numerator
of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after
such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock
that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

          SECTION H.  NO REDEMPTION.  The shares of Series A Junior
                      -------------                                
Participating Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable.

          SECTION I.  RANKING.  The Series A Junior Participating Preferred
                      -------                                              
Stock shall rank junior to all other series of the Corporation's Preferred Stock
as to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets, unless the terms
of any such series shall provide otherwise.

          SECTION J.  AMENDMENT.  The Certificate of Incorporation of the
                      ---------                                          
Corporation shall not be further amended in any manner which would materially
alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the Series A Junior
Participating Preferred Stock so as to affect them adversely without the
affirmative vote of the holders of a majority or more of the outstanding shares
of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class.

          SECTION K.  FRACTIONAL SHARES.  Series A Junior Participating
                      -----------------                                
Preferred Stock may be issued in fractions of a share but no such fraction shall
be less than one one-thousandth of a share which shall entitle the holder, in
proportion to such holders fractional shares, to exercise voting rights, receive
dividends, participate in distributions and to have the benefit of all other
rights of holders of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock.


          SERIES A CUMULATIVE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
          -----------------------------------------------

          1.   DESIGNATION.  The designation of the series of Preferred Stock
               -----------                                                   
created by this resolution shall be Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred
Stock, without par value, of Marriott (the "Corporation") (hereinafter referred
to as "Convertible Preferred Stock"), and the number of shares constituting such
series shall be 4,000, which number may be increased (but not above the total
number of shares of

                                       10
<PAGE>
 
Preferred Stock of the Corporation less the number of shares reserved for the
Junior Preferred Stock) or decreased (but not below the number of shares then
outstanding) from time to time by the Board of Directors.  The Convertible
Preferred Stock shall rank prior to the Common Stock and Junior Preferred Stock
of the Corporation with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution
of assets.

          2.   DIVIDEND RIGHTS.
               --------------- 

          (a) The holders of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock shall be
entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors, out of
funds legally available therefor, cash dividends, accruing from the date of
original issue (which is expected to occur on or about December 23, 1991), at
the annual rate of 8.25% per annum, and no more, payable, when and as declared
by the Board of Directors, quarterly on January 15, April 15, July 15 and
October 15 of each year (each quarterly period ending on any such date being
hereinafter referred to as a "dividend period"), commencing April 15, 1992, at
such annual rate.  Each dividend will be payable to holders of record as they
appear on the stock books of the Corporation on such record dates, not exceeding
45 days preceding the payment dates thereof, as shall be fixed by the Board of
Directors of the Corporation.  The date of initial issuance of shares of
Convertible Preferred Stock is hereinafter referred to as the "Issue Date".
Dividends payable on the Convertible Preferred Stock (i) for any period other
than a full dividend period, shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year
consisting of twelve 30-day months and (ii) for each full dividend period, shall
be computed by dividing the annual dividend rate by four.

               (b)  Dividends on shares of Convertible Preferred Stock shall be
cumulative from the Issue Date whether or not there shall be funds legally
available for the payment thereof. If there shall be outstanding shares of any
other series of Preferred Stock ranking junior to or on a parity with the
Convertible Preferred Stock as to dividends, no dividends shall be declared or
paid or set apart for payment on any such other series for any period unless
full cumulative dividends have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid
or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof is set apart for such
payment on the Convertible Preferred Stock for all dividend periods terminating
on or prior to the date of payment of such dividends. If dividends on the
Convertible Preferred Stock and on any other series of Preferred Stock ranking
on a parity as to dividends with the Convertible Preferred Stock are in arrears,
in making any dividend payment on account of such arrears, the Corporation shall
make payments ratably upon all outstanding shares of the Convertible Preferred
Stock and shares of such other series of Preferred

                                       11
<PAGE>
 
Stock in proportion to the respective amounts of dividends in arrears on the
Convertible Preferred Stock and on such other series of Preferred Stock to the
date of such dividend payment.  Holders of shares of the Convertible Preferred
Stock shall not be entitled to any dividend, whether payable in cash, property
or stock, in excess of full cumulative dividends on such shares.  No interest,
or sum of money in lieu of interest shall be payable in respect of any dividend
payment or payments which may be in arrears.

               (c)  Unless full cumulative dividends on all outstanding shares
of the Convertible Preferred Stock shall have been paid or declared and set
aside for payment for all past dividend periods, no dividend (other than a
dividend in Common Stock or Junior Preferred Stock or in any other stock ranking
junior to the Convertible Preferred Stock as to dividends and the distribution
of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) shall be declared upon
the Common Stock or Junior Preferred Stock or upon any other stock ranking
junior to the Convertible Preferred Stock as to dividends and the distribution
of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, nor shall any Common
Stock or Junior Preferred Stock or any other stock of the Corporation ranking
junior to or on a parity with the Convertible Preferred Stock as to dividends or
upon the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up be
redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration (or any moneys
be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any shares
of any such stock) by the Corporation (except by conversion into or exchange for
stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Convertible Preferred Stock as to
dividends and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or
winding up).

          3.   LIQUIDATION PREFERENCES.
               ----------------------- 

               (a)  In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up
of the affairs of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the holders
of Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of
the Corporation available for distribution to stockholders an amount equal to
$50,000 per share plus an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid dividends
thereon to and including the date of such distribution, and no more, before any
distribution shall be made to the holders of Common Stock or Junior Preferred
Stock or any other class of stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the
Convertible Preferred Stock as to the distribution of assets. After payment of
such liquidating distributions, the holders of shares of Convertible Preferred
Stock will not be entitled to any further participation in any distribution of
assets by the Corporation.

                                       12
<PAGE>
 
               (b)  In the event the assets of the Corporation available for
distribution to stockholders upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
the affairs of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, shall be
insufficient to pay in full the amounts payable with respect to the Convertible
Preferred Stock and any other shares of Preferred Stock ranking on a parity with
the Convertible Preferred Stock as to the distribution of assets, the holders of
Convertible Preferred Stock and the holders of such other Preferred Stock shall
share ratably in any distribution of assets of the Corporation in proportion to
the full respective preferential amounts to which they are entitled.

               (c)  The merger or consolidation of the Corporation into or with
any other corporation, the merger or consolidation of any other corporation into
or with the Corporation or the sale of the assets of the Corporation
substantially as an entirety shall not be deemed a liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the affairs of the Corporation within the meaning of this Section
3.

          4.   REDEMPTION.
               ---------- 

               (a)  The Corporation, at its Option, may redeem any or all shares
of Convertible Preferred Stock, at any time or from time to time, on or after
January 15, 1996 at a redemption price of $52,480 per share during the period
from January 15, 1996 to, but not including, January 15, 1997, and thereafter at
the redemption prices set forth below during the 12-month period beginning on
January 15 of the years shown below, plus in each case an amount equal to
accrued and unpaid balances thereon to and including the date of redemption (the
"Redemption Price").

               (b)  If less than all the outstanding shares of Convertible
Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, the shares to be redeemed shall be selected
pro rata as nearly as practicable or by lot, or by such other method as the
Board of Directors may determine to be fair and appropriate.

               (c)  Notice of any redemption shall be given by first class mail,
postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date
fixed for redemption to the

                                       13
<PAGE>
 
holders of record of the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock to be redeemed,
at their respective addresses appearing on the books of the Corporation.  Notice
so mailed shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not
actually received.  Such notice shall state: (i) the date fixed for redemption;
(ii) the Redemption Price; (iii) that the holder has the right to convert such
shares into Common Stock until the close of business on the tenth day preceding
the redemption date; (iv) the then-effective conversion price and the place
where certificates for such shares may be surrendered for conversion; (v) the
number of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock to be redeemed and if less than
all the shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares
to be so redeemed from such holder; (vi) the place where certificates for such
shares are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price; and (vii) that
after such date fixed for redemption the shares to be redeemed shall not accrue
dividends.  If such notice is mailed as aforesaid, and if on or before the date
fixed for redemption funds sufficient to redeem the shares called for redemption
are set aside by the Corporation in trust for the account of the holders of the
shares to be redeemed, notwithstanding the fact that any certificate for shares
called for redemption shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, on and
after the redemption date the shares represented thereby so called for
redemption shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding, dividends thereon shall
cease to accrue and all rights of the holders of such shares as stockholders of
the Corporation shall cease (except the right to receive the Redemption Price,
without interest, upon surrender of the certificate representing such shares).
Upon surrender in accordance with the aforesaid notice of the certificate for
any shares so redeemed (duly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate instruments
of transfer, if so required by the Corporation in such notice), the holders of
record of such shares shall be entitled to receive the Redemption Price, without
interest.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, as and to the extent that the
Corporation is required under the abandoned property laws of any jurisdiction to
escheat any redemption funds held in trust for the benefit of any holder, the
Corporation shall be absolved of any further obligation or liability to such
holder to the full extent provided by any such law.  In case fewer than all the
shares represented by any such certificate are redeemed, a new certificate shall
be issued representing the unredeemed shares without cost to the holder thereof.

               (d)  At the option of the Corporation, if notice of redemption is
mailed as aforesaid, and if prior to the date fixed for redemption funds
sufficient to pay in full the Redemption Price are deposited in trust, for the
account of the holders of the shares to be redeemed, with a bank or trust
company named in such notice doing business in the Borough of

                                       14
<PAGE>
 
Manhattan, The City of New York, State of New York, and having capital and
surplus of at least $100 million (which bank or trust company also may be the
transfer agent and/or paying agent for the Convertible Preferred Stock)
notwithstanding the fact that any certificate(s) for shares called for
redemption shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, on and after such
date of deposit the shares represented thereby so called for redemption shall be
deemed to be no longer outstanding, and all rights of the holders of such shares
as shareholders of the Corporation shall cease, except the right of the holders
thereof to convert such shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 5 at
any time prior to the close of business on the tenth day preceding the
redemption date and the right of the holders thereof to receive out of the funds
so deposited in trust the Redemption Price, without interest, upon surrender of
the certificate(s) representing such shares.  Any funds so deposited with such
bank or trust company in respect of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock
converted before the close of business on the tenth day preceding the redemption
date shall be returned to the Corporation upon such conversion.  Unless
otherwise required by law, any funds so deposited with such bank or trust
company which shall remain unclaimed by the holders of shares called for
redemption at the end of two years after the redemption date shall be repaid to
the Corporation, on demand, and thereafter the holder of any such shares shall
look only to the Corporation for the payment, without interest, of the
Redemption Price.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, as and to the extent
that the Corporation is required under the abandoned property laws of any
jurisdiction to escheat any redemption funds held in trust for the benefit of
any holder, the Corporation shall be absolved of any further obligation or
liability to such holder to the full extent provided by any such laws.

               (e)  Any provision of this Section 4 to the contrary
notwithstanding, in the event that any quarterly dividend payable on the
Convertible Preferred Stock shall be in arrears and until all such dividends in
arrears shall have been paid or declared and set apart for payment, the
Corporation shall not redeem any shares of Convertible Preferred Stock unless
all outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock are simultaneously
redeemed and shall not purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of Convertible
Preferred Stock except in accordance with a purchase or exchange offer made on
the same terms to all holders of record of Convertible Preferred Stock for the
purchase of all outstanding shares thereof.

          5.   CONVERSION RIGHTS.  The holders of shares of Convertible 
               -----------------                                         
Preferred Stock shall have the right, at their option, to convert such shares
into shares of Common Stock on the following terms and conditions:

               (a)  Shares of Convertible Preferred Stock shall be convertible
at any time into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock at a
conversion price of $17.40 per share of Common Stock (the "Conversion Price").
For purposes of this Section 5, references to shares of Convertible Preferred
Stock shall apply equally to fractional shares thereof, but only to the extent
that such fractional shares are integral multiples of 1/1,000 of one share. The
Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as hereinafter
provided. For purposes of such conversion, each share of Convertible Preferred
Stock will be valued at $50,000. No payment or adjustment shall be made on
account of any accrued and unpaid dividends on shares of Convertible Preferred
Stock surrendered for conversion prior to the record date for the determination
of stockholders entitled to such dividends or on account of any dividends on the
shares of Common Stock issued upon such conversion subsequent to the record date
for the determination of stockholders entitled to such dividends. If any shares
of Convertible Preferred Stock shall be called for redemption, the right to
convert the shares designated for redemption shall terminate at the close of
business on the tenth day preceding the date fixed for redemption unless default
is made in the payment of the Redemption Price. In the event of default in the
payment of the Redemption Price, the right to convert the shares designated for
redemption shall terminate at the close of business on the business day
immediately preceding the date that such default is cured.

               (b)  In order to convert shares of Convertible Preferred Stock
into Common Stock, the holder thereof shall surrender the certificates therefor,
duly endorsed if the Corporation shall so require, or accompanied by appropriate
instruments of transfer satisfactory to the Corporation, at the office of the
transfer agent for the Convertible Preferred Stock, or at such other office as
may be designated by the Corporation, together with written notice that such
holder irrevocably elects to convert such shares or any fraction of a share of
Convertible Preferred Stock having a denominator of 1,000, each such fractional
interest, measured in 1/1,000 of a share, being valued for purposes of
conversion at $50; references in this Section 5 to the conversion of any share
of Convertible Preferred Stock shall also apply, mutatis mutandis, to such
fractional interests. Such notice shall also state the name and address in which
such holder wishes the certificate for the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion to be issued. As soon as practicable after receipt of the
certificates representing the shares of Convertible Preferred

                                       16
<PAGE>
 
Stock to be converted and the notice of election to convert the same, the
Corporation shall issue and deliver at said office a certificate for the number
of whole shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the shares of
Convertible Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion, together with a cash
payment in lieu of any fraction of a share, as hereinafter provided, to the
person entitled to receive the same.  If more than one stock certificate for
Convertible Preferred Stock shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by
the some holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of
shares represented by all the certificates so surrendered.  Shares of
Convertible Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have been converted immediately
prior to the close of business on the date such shares are surrendered for
conversion and notice of election to convert the same is received by the
Corporation in accordance with the foregoing provision, and the person entitled
to receive the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed for
all purposes as the record holder of such Common Stock as of such date.

               (c)  In the case of any share of Convertible Preferred Stock
which is converted after any record date with respect to the payment of a
dividend on the Convertible Preferred Stock and on or prior to the date on which
such dividend is payable by the Corporation (the "Dividend Due Date"), the
dividend due on such Dividend Due Date shall be payable on such Dividend Due
Date to the holder of record of such shares as of such preceding record date
notwithstanding such conversion. Shares of Convertible Preferred Stock
surrendered for conversion during the period from the close of business on any
record date with respect to the payment of a dividend on the Convertible
Preferred Stock next preceding any Dividend Due Date to the opening of business
on such Dividend Due Date shall (except in the case of shares of Convertible
Preferred Stock which have been called for redemption on a redemption date
within such period) be accompanied by payment in New York Clearing House funds
or other funds acceptable to the Corporation of an amount equal to the dividend
payable on such Dividend Due Date on the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock
being surrendered for conversion. The dividend with respect to a share of
Convertible Preferred Stock called for redemption on a redemption date during
the period from the close of business on any record date with respect to the
payment of a dividend on the Convertible Preferred Stock next preceding any
Dividend Due Date to the opening of business on such Dividend Due Date shall be
payable on such Dividend Due Date to the holder of record of such share on such
dividend record date, notwithstanding the conversion of such share of
Convertible Preferred Stock after such record date and prior to such Dividend
Due Date, and the holder converting such share of Convertible Preferred Stock
need not include a payment of such

                                       17
<PAGE>
 
dividend amount upon surrender of such share of Convertible Preferred Stock for
conversion.  Except as provided in this subsection, no payment or adjustment
shall be made upon any conversion on account of any dividends accrued on shares
of Convertible Preferred Stock surrendered for conversion or on account of any
dividends on the shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion.

               (d)  No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon
conversion of any shares of Convertible Preferred Stock. If more than one share
of Convertible Preferred Stock is surrendered at one time by the same holder,
the number of full shares issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on
the basis of the aggregate number of shares so surrendered. If the conversion of
any shares of Convertible Preferred Stock results in a fractional share of
Common Stock, the Corporation shall pay cash in lieu thereof in an amount equal
to such fraction multiplied by the closing price, determined as provided in
subsection (vi) of Section 5(e) below, on the date on which the shares of
Convertible Preferred Stock were duly surrendered for conversion, or if such
date is not a trading date, on the next succeeding trading date.

               (e) The Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time as
follows:

                    (i) In case the Corporation shall pay or make a dividend or
          other distribution on shares of Common Stock in Common Stock, the
          Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the date
          following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders
          entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be
          reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which
          the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
          outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such
          determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of
          shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend or
          other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately
          after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for
          such determination.  For purposes of this subsection, the number of
          shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include
          shares held in the treasury of the Corporation but shall include
          shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of
          fractions of shares of Common Stock.  The Corporation will not pay any
          dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in
          the treasury of the Corporation.

                                       18
<PAGE>
 
                    (ii)  In case the Corporation shall issue additional rights
          or warrants to all holders of its Common Stock entitling them to
          subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share
          less than the then current market price per share (determined as
          provided in subsection (vi) below) of the Common Stock on the date
          fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
          rights or warrants (other than pursuant to a dividend reinvestment
          plan), the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on
          the day following the date fixed for such determination shall be
          reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which
          the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
          outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such
          determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the
          aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of
          Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at
          such current market price (determined as provided in subsection (vi)
          below) and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common
          Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such
          determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock so offered for
          subscription or purchase, such reduction to become effective
          immediately after the opening of business on the day following the
          date fixed for such determination.  For the purposes of this
          subsection (ii), the number of shares of Common Stock at anytime
          outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the
          Corporation but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip
          certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock.
          The Corporation will not issue any rights or warrants in respect of
          shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Corporation during
          the period so held.

                    (iii)     In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall
          be subdivided into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the
          Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business on the day
          following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall
          be proportionately reduced, and, conversely, in case outstanding
          shares of Common Stock shall be combined into a smaller number of
          shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening
          of business on the day following the day upon which such combination
          becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction
          or increase, as the case may be, to become

                                       19
<PAGE>
 
          effective immediately after the opening of business on the day
          following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes
          effective.

                    (iv)  In case the Corporation shall, by dividend or
          otherwise, distribute to all holders of its Common Stock evidences of
          its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding (1)
          any rights or warrants referred to in subsection (ii) above, (2) any
          dividend or distribution paid in cash out of the retained earnings of
          the Corporation and (3) any dividend or distribution referred to in
          subsection (i) above), the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that
          the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the
          Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business
          on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to
          receive such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall
          be the current market price per share (determined as provided in
          subsection (vi) below) of the Common Stock on the date fixed for such
          determination less the then fair market value (as determined by the
          Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and shall
          be described in a statement filed with the transfer agent for the
          Convertible Preferred Stock) of the portion of the evidences of
          indebtedness or assets so distributed applicable to one share of
          Common Stock and the denominator shall be such current market price
          per share of the Common Stock, such adjustment to become effective
          immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the
          date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive
          such distribution.

                    (v) The reclassification of Common Stock into securities
          including securities other than Common Stock (other than any
          reclassification upon a consolidation or merger to which Section 5(g)
          below applies) shall be deemed to involve (A) a distribution of such
          securities other than Common Stock to all holders of Common Stock (and
          the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be "the
          date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive
          such distribution" and the "date fixed for such determination" within
          the meaning of subsection (iv) above), and (B) a subdivision or
          combination, as the case may be, of the number of shares of Common
          Stock outstanding immediately prior to such reclassification into the
          number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately thereafter
          (and the effective date of

                                       20
<PAGE>
 
          such reclassification shall be deemed to be "the day upon which such
          subdivision became effective" or "the day upon which such combination
          becomes effective" as the case may be, and "the day upon which such
          subdivision or combination becomes effective" within the meaning of
          subsection (iii) above).

                    (vi) For the purpose of any computation under subsections
          (ii) and (iv) above, the current market price per share of Common
          Stock on any day shall be deemed to be the average of the daily
          closing prices for the 30 consecutive trading days commencing 45
          trading days before the day in question.  The closing price for each
          day shall be the reported last sale price regular way or, in case no
          such reported sale takes place on such day, the average of the
          reported closing bid and asking prices regular way, in either case on
          the New York Stock Exchange or, if the Common Stock is no longer
          listed or admitted to trading on such Exchange, on the principal
          national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or
          admitted to trading or, if not listed or admitted to trading on any
          national securities exchange, on the National Association of
          Securities Dealers Automated Quotations National Market System or, if
          the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on any national
          securities exchange or quoted on such National Market System, the
          average of the closing bid and asked prices in the over-the-counter
          market as furnished by any New York Stock Exchange member firm
          selected from time to time by the Board of Directors for that purpose.

                    (vii)     Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment in
          the Conversion Price for the Convertible Preferred Shares shall be
          required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease
          of at least 1% in such price; provided, however, that any adjustments
          which by reason of this subsection (vii) are not required to be made
          shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent
          adjustment.  All calculations under this Section shall be made to the
          nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case
          may be.

               (f)  Whenever the Conversion Price shall be adjusted as herein
provided (i) that Corporation shall forthwith make available at the office of
the transfer agent for the Convertible Preferred Stock a statement describing in
reasonable detail the adjustment, the facts requiring such adjustment and the
method of calculation used; and (ii) the Corporation shall cause to be mailed by
first class mail,

                                       21
<PAGE>
 
postage prepaid, as soon as practicable to each holder of record of shares of
Convertible Preferred Stock a notice stating that the Conversion Price has been
adjusted and setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price.

               (g)  In the event of any consolidation of the Corporation with or
merger of the Corporation into any other corporation (other than a merger in
which the Corporation is the surviving corporation) or a sale, lease or
conveyance of the assets of the Corporation as an entirety or substantially as
an entirety, or any statutory exchange of securities with another corporation,
the holder of each share of Convertible Preferred Stock shall have the right,
after such consolidation, merger, sale or exchange to convert such share into
the number and kind of shares of stock or other securities and the amount and
kind of property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or exchange by
a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
such shares of Convertible Preferred Stock immediately prior to such
consolidation, merger or sale.  Provision shall be made for adjustments in the
Conversion Price which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to
the adjustments provided for in Section 5(e).  The provisions of this Section
5(g) shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales or
exchanges.

               (h)  The Corporation shall pay any taxes that may be payable in
respect of the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of shares of
Convertible Preferred Stock, but the Corporation shall not be required to pay
any taxes which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the
issuance of shares of Common Stock in the name other then that in which the
shares of Convertible Preferred Stock so converted are registered, and the
Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver any such shares unless and
until the person requesting such issuance shall have paid to the Corporation the
amount of any such taxes, or shall have established to the satisfaction of the
Corporation that such taxes have been paid.

               (i)  The Corporation may (but shall not be required to) make such
reductions in the Conversion Price, in addition to those required by subsections
(i) through (iv) of Section 5(e) above, as it considers to be advisable in order
that any event treated for federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or
stock rights shall not be taxable to the recipients.

               (j)  The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep
available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock the full number of
shares of Common Stock and attached Rights, if any, issuable upon the conversion
of all shares of Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding.

                                       22
<PAGE>
 
               (k)  In the event that:

                    (i) the Corporation shall declare a dividend or any other
          distribution on its Common Stock, payable otherwise than in cash out
          of retained earnings; or

                    (ii) the Corporation shall authorize the granting to the
          holders of its Common Stock of rights to subscribe for or purchase any
          shares of capital stock of any class or of any other rights; or

                    (iii)     any capital reorganization of the Corporation,
          reclassification of the capital stock of the Corporation,
          consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another
          corporation (other than a merger in which the Corporation is the
          surviving corporation), or sale, lease or conveyance of the assets of
          the Corporation as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to
          another corporation occurs; or

                    (iv) the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation
          or winding up of the Corporation occurs;

the Corporation shall cause to be mailed to the holders of record of Convertible
Preferred Stock at least 15 days prior to the applicable date hereinafter
specified a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the
purpose of such dividend, distribution or rights or, if a record is not to be
taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled
to such dividend, distribution or rights are to be determined or (y) the date on
which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, lease
conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to take place,
and the date, if any is to be fixed, as of which holders of Common Stock of
record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities
or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, lease, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or
winding up.  Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not
affect the legality or validity of such dividend, distribution, reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, lease, conveyance, dissolution,
liquidation or winding up.

          6.   VOTING RIGHTS.  Other than as required by applicable law, the
               -------------                                                
Convertible Preferred Stock shall not have any voting powers either general or
special except that:

                                       23
<PAGE>
 
               (a)  Unless the vote or consent of the holders of a greater
number of shares shall then be required by law, the affirmative vote or consent
of the holders of at least 66-2/3% of all of the shares of the Convertible
Preferred Stock, and any one or more other series of Preferred Stock of the
Corporation similarly affected, at the time outstanding, given in person or by
proxy, either in writing or by a vote at a meeting called for the purpose at
which the holders of shares of the Convertible Preferred stock and any such
other series of Preferred Stock shall vote together as a separate class, shall
be necessary for authorizing, effecting or validating the amendment, alteration
or repeal of any of the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, as
amended, or of any amendment or supplement thereto (including any certificate of
designation or any similar document relating to any series of Preferred Stock)
of the Corporation, which would adversely affect the preferences, rights, powers
or privileges, qualifications, limitations and restrictions of the Convertible
Preferred Stock and any such other series of Preferred Stock.

               (b)  Unless the vote or consent of the holders of a greater
number of shares shall then be required by law, the affirmative vote or consent
of the holders of at least 66-2/3% of all of the shares of the Convertible
Preferred Stock and any other series of Preferred Stock of the Corporation
ranking on a parity with shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock, either as to
dividends or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding
up, at the time outstanding, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or
by a vote at a meeting called for the purpose at which the holders of shares of
the Convertible Preferred Stock and any such other series of Preferred Stock of
the Corporation shall vote together as a single class without regard to series,
shall be necessary to create, authorize or issue, or reclassify any authorized
stock of the Corporation into, or create, authorize or issue any obligation or
security convertible into or evidencing a right to purchase, any shares of any
class of stock of the Corporation ranking prior to the Convertible Preferred
Stock or ranking prior to any other series of Preferred Stock of the Corporation
which ranks on a parity with the Convertible Preferred Stock as to dividends or
upon the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up.
Subject to the foregoing, the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation, as
amended, may be amended to increase the number of authorized shares of Preferred
Stock without the vote of the holders of Preferred Stock, including the
Convertible Preferred Stock.

               (c)  Whenever, at any time or times, dividends payable on the
shares of Convertible Preferred Stock shall be in arrears in an amount equal to
at least six full quarterly dividends on shares of the Convertible Preferred
Stock at the

                                       24
<PAGE>
 
time outstanding, the holders of the outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred
Stock shall have the exclusive right, voting separately as a class together with
holders of shares of any one or more other series of Preferred Stock ranking on
a parity with the Convertible Preferred Stock either as to dividends or the
distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up and upon
which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable, to elect two
directors of the Corporation for one-year terms at the Corporation's next annual
meeting of stockholders and at each subsequent annual meeting of stockholders.
At elections for such directors, each holder of Convertible Preferred Stock
shall be entitled to one vote for each share held (the holders of shares of any
other series of Preferred Stock ranking on such a parity being entitled to such
number of votes, if any, for each share of stock hold as may be granted to
them).  Upon the vesting of such right of the holders of Convertible Preferred
Stock, the maximum authorized number of members of the Board of Directors shall
automatically be increased by two and the two vacancies so created shall be
filled by vote of the holders of the outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred
Stock (either alone or together with the holders of shares of any one or more
other series of Preferred Stock ranking on such a parity) as hereinafter set
forth.  The right of the holders of Convertible Preferred Stock, voting
separately as a class to elect (either alone or together with the holders of
shares of any one or more other series of Preferred Stock ranking on such a
parity) members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation as aforesaid shall
continue until such time as all dividends accumulated on the Convertible
Preferred Stock shall have been paid in full or declared and set apart for
payment, at which time such right shall immediately terminate, except as herein
or by law expressly provided, subject to revesting in the event of each and
every subsequent default of the character above mentioned.

               (d)  Upon termination of such special voting rights attributable
to all holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock and any other series or
Preferred Stock ranking on a parity with the Convertible Preferred Stock as to
dividends or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding
up and upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable,
the term of office of each director elected by the holders of shares of
Convertible Preferred Stock and such parity Preferred Stock (a "Preferred Stock
Director") pursuant to such special voting rights shall immediately terminate
and the number of directors constituting the entire Board of Directors shall be
reduced by the number of Preferred Stock Directors. Any Preferred Stock Director
may be removed by, and shall not be removed otherwise than by, the vote of the
holders of record of a majority of the outstanding shares of Convertible
Preferred Stock and all other series of

                                       25
<PAGE>
 
Preferred Stock ranking on a parity with the Convertible Preferred Stock with
respect to dividends who were entitled to participate in such Preferred Stock
Director's election, voting as a separate class, at a meeting called for such
purposes.  If the office of any Preferred Stock Director becomes vacant by
reason of death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal from office,
or otherwise, the remaining Preferred Stock Director may choose a successor who
shall hold office for the unexpired term in respect of which such vacancy
occurred.

          entitled to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon

          preference or priority to the holders of the Convertible Preferred
          Stock;

          dissolution or winding up, whether or not the dividend rates, dividend
          payment dates or redemption or liquidation prices per share thereof be
          different from those of the Convertible Preferred Stock, if the
          holders of such class of stock and the Convertible Preferred Stock
          shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends or of amounts
          distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case
          may be, in proportion to their respective amounts of accrued and
          unpaid dividends per share or liquidation prices, without preference
          or priority one over the other; and

                    (iii)     junior to the Convertible Preferred Stock, as to
          dividends or as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation,
          dissolution or winding up, if such stock shall be Common Stock or
          Junior Preferred Stock or if the holders of Convertible Preferred
          Stock shall be entitled to receipt of dividends or of amounts
          distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case

                                       26
<PAGE>
 
          may be, in preference or priority to the holders of shares of such
          stock.

               ---------------                                                
subject to the operation of a sinking fund or other obligation of the
Corporation to redeem or retire the Convertible Preferred Stock.

          WARRANT AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") dated as of October ___, 1994
between Host Marriott Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and
First Chicago Trust Company of New York, as Warrant Agent (the "Warrant Agent").

                                   RECITALS
                                   --------

          WHEREAS, the Company has agreed to issue Common Stock Purchase
Warrants, as hereinafter described (the "Warrants"), to purchase an aggregate of
7.7 million shares of Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the "Common
Stock"), of the Company (the Common Stock issuable on exercise of the Warrants
being referred to herein as the "Warrant Shares") pursuant to that certain
Stipulation and Agreement of Compromise and Settlement dated as of March 23,
1993 (the "Settlement Agreement") entered into in connection with the settlement
of the class action lawsuits instituted against the Company and certain
individual defendants by certain holders and purchasers of senior notes and
debentures of the Company (the "Class Action Lawsuits"), which Settlement
Agreement was approved by the United States District Court for the District of
Maryland on September 10, 1993.

          WHEREAS, the issuance of the Warrants is exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"),
pursuant to Section 3(a)(10) thereunder; and

          WHEREAS, a registration statement with respect to the issuance of the
Warrants and the Warrant Shares was declared effective on ______, 1994; and

          WHEREAS, the Company desires the Warrant Agent to act on behalf of the
Company, and the Warrant Agent is willing so to act, in connection with the
issuance of Warrant Certificates (as defined below) and other matters as
provided herein.

                                   AGREEMENT
                                   ---------

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
agreements herein set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

          SECTION 1.  Appointment of Warrant Agent.  The Company hereby appoints
                      ----------------------------                              
the Warrant Agent to act as agent for the Company in accordance with the
instructions set forth in this Agreement, and the Warrant Agent hereby accepts
such appointment.

          SECTION 2.  Warrant Certificates.  The certificates evidencing the
                      --------------------                                  
Warrants (the "Warrant Certificates") to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement
shall be in registered form only and shall be substantially in the form set
forth in Exhibit A attached hereto.
<PAGE>
 
          SECTION 3.  Execution of Warrant Certificates.  Warrant Certificates
                      ---------------------------------                       
shall be signed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board or its
President or a Vice President and by its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary
under its corporate seal.  Each such signature upon the Warrant Certificates may
be in the form of a facsimile signature of the present or any future Chairman of
the Board, President, a Vice President, Secretary or an Assistant Secretary and
may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Warrant Certificates and for
that purpose the Company may adopt and use the facsimile signature of any person
who shall have been Chairman of the Board, President, a Vice President,
Secretary or an Assistant Secretary, notwithstanding the fact that at the time
the Warrant Certificates shall be countersigned and delivered or disposed of he
or she shall have ceased to hold such office.  The seal of the Company may be in
the form of a facsimile thereof and may be impressed, affixed, imprinted or
otherwise reproduced on the Warrant Certificates.

          In case any officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the
Warrant Certificates shall cease to be such officer before the Warrant
Certificates so signed shall have been countersigned by the Warrant Agent, or
disposed of by the Company, such Warrant Certificates nevertheless may be
countersigned and delivered or disposed of as though such person had not ceased
to be such officer of the Company; and any Warrant Certificate may be signed on
behalf of the Company by any person who, at the actual date of the execution of
such Warrant Certificate, shall be a proper officer of the Company to sign such
Warrant Certificate, although at the date of the execution of this Agreement any
such person was not such officer.

          Warrant Certificates shall be dated the date of countersignature by
the Warrant Agent.

          SECTION 4.  Registration and Countersignature. The Warrant Agent, on
                      ---------------------------------                       
behalf of the Company, shall number and register the Warrant Certificates in a
register as they are issued by the Company.

          Warrant Certificates shall be manually countersigned by the Warrant
Agent and shall not be valid for any purpose unless so countersigned.  The
Warrant Agent shall, upon written instructions of the Chairman of the Board, the
President, a Vice President, the Treasurer or the Controller of the Company,
initially countersign, issue and deliver Warrants entitling the holders thereof
to purchase in the aggregate not more than the number of Warrant Shares referred
to above in the first recital hereof and shall countersign and deliver Warrants
as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

          The Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the registered
holder(s) of the Warrant Certificates as the absolute owner(s) thereof
(notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made by
anyone, including the


                                       2
<PAGE>
 
registered holder(s)) for all purposes, and neither the Company nor the Warrant
Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

          SECTION 5.  Registration of Transfers and Exchanges.  The Warrant
                      ---------------------------------------              
Agent shall from time to time register the transfer of any outstanding Warrant
Certificates upon the records to be maintained by it for that purpose, upon
surrender thereof, accompanied (if so required by it) by a written instrument or
instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Warrant Agent, duly executed
by the registered holder or holders thereof or by the duly appointed legal
representative thereof or by a duly authorized attorney.  Upon any such
registration of transfer, a new Warrant Certificate shall be issued to the
transferee(s) and the surrendered Warrant Certificate shall be cancelled by the
Warrant Agent.  Cancelled Warrant Certificates shall thereafter be disposed of
in a manner satisfactory to the Company.  Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary, the Company shall have the right to suspend transfers of Warrant
Certificates upon notice to the Warrant Agent during the pendency of any
Suspension Period (defined below) as provided in Section 11.

          By accepting delivery of a Warrant Certificate evidencing one or more
Warrants, each Warrant holder represents and warrants to the Company that:

               (1)  Such holder is not acting as an "underwriter" or "dealer"
within the meaning of Section 2(11) and Section 2(12), respectively, of the
Securities Act with respect to the Warrants; and

               (2)  Such holder is not directly or indirectly controlling or
controlled by the Company or any person under direct or indirect common control
with the Company, within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act.

          Warrant Certificates may be exchanged at the option of the holder(s)
thereof, when surrendered to the Warrant Agent at its office for another Warrant
Certificate or other Warrant Certificates of like tenor and representing in the
aggregate a like number of Warrants.  Warrant Certificates surrendered for
exchange shall be cancelled by the Warrant Agent.  Such cancelled Warrant
Certificates shall then be disposed of by such Warrant Agent in a manner
satisfactory to the Company.

          The Warrant Agent is hereby authorized to countersign, in accordance
with the provisions of this Section 5 and of Section 4, the new Warrant
Certificates required pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.

          SECTION 6.  Terms of Warrants; Exercise of Warrants.  Subject to the
                      ---------------------------------------                 
terms of this Agreement, each Warrant holder shall have the right, which may be
exercised commencing upon the execution of this Agreement and until 5:00 p.m.,
New York City

                                       3
<PAGE>
 
time on October 8, 1998 (the "Expiration Time") to receive from the Company the
number of fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares which the holder may at
the time be entitled to receive on exercise of such Warrants and payment of the
Exercise Price (as defined below) then in effect for such Warrant Shares
(provided that Warrants shall not be exercisable during any Suspension Period
(as defined below) as provided in Section 11).  Each Warrant not exercised prior
to the Expiration Time shall become void and all rights thereunder and all
rights in respect thereof under this Agreement shall cease as of such time. No
adjustments as to dividends will be made upon exercise of the Warrants.

          A Warrant may be exercised upon surrender to the Company at the
principal office of the Warrant Agent of the certificate or certificates
evidencing the Warrants to be exercised with the form of election to purchase on
the reverse thereof duly filled in and signed, which signature shall be
guaranteed by a bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the
United States or a broker or dealer which is a member of a registered securities
exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., and upon
payment to the Warrant Agent for the account of the Company of the exercise
price (the "Exercise Price") which is set forth in the form of Warrant
Certificate attached hereto as Exhibit A, as adjusted as herein provided, for
the number of Warrant Shares in respect of which such Warrants are then
exercised.  Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price shall be made in cash or by
certified or official bank check to the order of the Company.

          Subject to the provisions of Section 8 hereof, upon such surrender of
Warrants and payment of the Exercise Price the Company shall issue and cause to
be delivered with all reasonable dispatch to or upon the written order of the
holder, and in such name or names as the Warrant holder may designate, a
certificate or certificates for the number of full Warrant Shares issuable upon
the exercise of such Warrants together with cash as provided in Section 13.
Such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued and any
person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder
of record of such Warrant Shares as of the date of the surrender of such
Warrants and payment of the Exercise Price.

          The Warrants shall be exercisable, at the election of the holders
thereof, either in full or from time to time in part and, in the event that a
certificate evidencing Warrants is exercised in respect of fewer than all of the
Warrant Shares issuable on such exercise at any time prior to the Expiration
Time, a new certificate evidencing the remaining Warrant or Warrants will be
issued, and the Warrant Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized to countersign
and to deliver the required new Warrant Certificate or Certificates pursuant to
the provisions of this Section and of Section 4 hereof, and the Company,
whenever required by the Warrant Agent, will supply the


                                       4
<PAGE>
 
Warrant Agent with Warrant Certificates duly executed on behalf of the Company
for such purpose.

          All Warrant Certificates surrendered upon exercise of Warrants shall
be cancelled by the Warrant Agent.  Such cancelled Warrant Certificates shall
then be disposed of by the Warrant Agent in a manner satisfactory to the
Company. The Warrant Agent shall account promptly to the Company with respect to
Warrants exercised and concurrently pay to the Company all monies received by
the Warrant Agent for the purchase of the Warrant Shares.

          The Warrant Agent shall keep copies of this Agreement and any notices
given or received under Section 14 of this Agreement available for inspection by
the holders of Warrants during normal business hours at its office.  The Company
shall supply the Warrant Agent from time to time with such numbers of copies of
this Agreement as the Warrant Agent may request.

          SECTION 7.  No Rights as Stockholders.  Nothing contained in this
                      -------------------------                            
Agreement or in any of the Warrant Certificates shall be construed as conferring
upon the holders of Warrant Certificates the right to vote or to consent or to
receive notice as shareholders in respect of the meetings of shareholders or the
election of Directors of the Company or any other matter, or any rights
whatsoever as shareholders of the Company.

          SECTION 8.  Payment of Taxes and Other Costs.  The Warrant holder
                      --------------------------------                     
shall be required to pay any and all tax or taxes which may be payable in
respect of (i) the issuance of the Warrants, (ii) the issuance of Warrant Shares
upon exercise of the Warrants, or (iii) any transfer of any Warrant Certificates
or the issuance of any certificates for Warrant Shares in a name other than that
of the registered holder of the Warrant Certificate surrendered upon the
exercise of the Warrant, and the Company shall not be required to issue or
deliver Warrant Shares or new Warrant Certificates unless and until the person
or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the
amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company
that such tax has been paid.

          The holder of any Warrant Certificate requesting transfer or exchange
thereof pursuant to Section 5 shall also be required to pay any and all costs
and expenses of such transfer or exchange, including without limitation the fees
and expenses of the Warrant Agent in connection therewith; and the Company shall
not be required to issue or deliver new Warrant Certificates upon such transfer
or exchange unless and until the person or persons requesting such transfer or
exchange shall have paid to the Company the amount of such costs and expenses or
shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such costs and
expenses have been paid.

          SECTION 9.  Mutilated or Missing Warrant Certificates.  In case any of
                      -----------------------------------------                 
the Warrant Certificates shall be mutilated, lost,


                                       5
<PAGE>
 
stolen or destroyed, the Company may in its discretion issue and the Warrant
Agent may countersign, in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of
the mutilated Warrant Certificate, or in lieu of and substitution for the
Warrant Certificate lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Warrant Certificate of like
tenor and representing an equivalent number of Warrants, but only upon receipt
of evidence satisfactory to the Company and the Warrant Agent of such loss,
theft or destruction of such Warrant Certificate and indemnity, if requested,
also satisfactory to them.  Applicants for such substitute Warrant Certificates
shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and pay such other
reasonable charges as the Company or the Warrant Agent may prescribe.

          SECTION 10.  Reservation of Warrant Shares.  The Company will at all
                       -----------------------------                          
times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of the
aggregate of its authorized but unissued Common Stock or its authorized and
issued Common Stock held in its treasury, for the purpose of enabling it to
satisfy any obligation to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of Warrants, the
maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may then be deliverable upon the
exercise of all outstanding Warrants.

          The Company or, if appointed, the transfer agent for the Common Stock
(the "Transfer Agent") and every subsequent transfer agent for any shares of the
Company's capital stock issuable upon the exercise of any of the rights of
purchase aforesaid will be irrevocably authorized and directed at all times to
reserve such number of authorized shares as shall be required for the issuance
of the Warrant Shares.  The Company will keep a copy of this Agreement on file
with the Transfer Agent and with every subsequent transfer agent for any shares
of the Company's capital stock issuable upon the exercise of the rights of
purchase represented by the Warrants.  The Warrant Agent is hereby irrevocably
authorized to requisition from time to time from such Transfer Agent the stock
certificates required to honor outstanding Warrants upon exercise thereof in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  The Company will supply such
Transfer Agent with duly executed certificates for such purposes and will
provide or otherwise make available any cash which may be payable as provided in
Section 13.  The Company will furnish such Transfer Agent a copy of all notices
of adjustments and certificates related thereto, as required by Section 14
hereof.

          Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment pursuant to
Section 12 hereof to reduce the Exercise Price below the then par value (if any)
of the Warrant Shares, the Company will take any corporate action which, in the
opinion of its counsel (which may be counsel employed by the Company), may be
necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and
nonassessable Warrant Shares at the Exercise Price as so adjusted.


                                       6
<PAGE>
 
          The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon
exercise of Warrants will, upon issuance, be fully paid, nonassessable, free of
preemptive rights and free from all taxes, liens, charges and security interests
with respect to the issuance thereof.

          SECTION 11.  Registration of Warrant Shares.  The Company will use its
                       ------------------------------                           
reasonable best efforts to maintain an effective and current registration
statement under the Securities Act for the issuance of the Warrant Shares during
the period commencing on the date hereof through the earlier of (i) the
Expiration Time or (ii) the date on which all Warrants have been exercised;
provided that the Company (in its sole discretion) shall have the right to
discontinue the effectiveness of such registration statement with respect to the
Warrant Shares for such periods as the Company determines are necessary and
appropriate.  The Company will notify the Warrant Agent at any time that the
effectiveness of the registration statement with respect to the Warrant Shares
has been suspended (any such period during which effectiveness of the
registration statement is suspended being referred to as a "Suspension Period"),
and during any Suspension Period the Warrants will not be exercisable.

          The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain any
required approvals or registrations under state "blue sky" securities laws for
the issuance of the Warrant Shares; provided however, that Warrants may not be
exercised by, or Warrant Shares issued to, any holder in any state where such
exercise or issuance would be unlawful.

          SECTION 12.  Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares
                       ---------------------------------------------------------
Issuable.  The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the
- --------                                                                        
exercise of each Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time upon the
occurrence of the events enumerated in this Section 12.  For purposes of this
Section 12, "Common Stock" means shares now or hereafter authorized of any class
of common stock of the Company and any other stock of the Company, however
designated, that has the right (subject to any prior rights of any class or
series of preferred stock) to participate in any distribution of the assets or
earnings of the Company without limit as to per share amount.

          (a) Adjustment for Change in Capital Stock.
              -------------------------------------- 

          If the Company:

              (1) pays a dividend, or makes a distribution, on its Common Stock
     in shares of its Common Stock;

              (2) subdivides its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
     greater number of shares;

              (3) combines its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
     smaller number of shares;



                                       7
<PAGE>
 
              (4) makes a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of its
     capital stock other than Common Stock; or

              (5) issues by reclassification of its Common Stock any shares of
     its capital stock;

then the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be
proportionately adjusted so that the holder of any Warrant thereafter exercised
may receive the aggregate number and kind of shares of capital stock of the
Company which such holder would have owned immediately following such action if
such Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such action.

          The adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record
date in the case of a dividend or distribution and immediately after the
effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification.

          If after an adjustment a holder of a Warrant upon exercise thereof may
receive shares of two or more classes of capital stock of the Company, the
Company shall determine the allocation of the adjusted Exercise Price between
the classes of capital stock.  After such allocation, the exercise privilege and
the Exercise Price of each class of capital stock shall thereafter be subject to
adjustment on terms comparable to those applicable to Common Stock in this
Section.

          Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed
in (1) through (5) above shall occur.

          (b)  Adjustment for Rights Issue.
               --------------------------- 

          If the Company distributes any rights, options or warrants to all
holders of its Common Stock entitling them for a period expiring within 60 days
after the record date mentioned below to purchase shares of Common Stock at a
price per share less than the current market price per share on that record
date, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted in accordance with the formula,
effective as of the expiration of such rights, options or warrants:

                        O + N x P
                            -----
               E' = E x       M
                        -----------
                            O + N
 where:

     E' = the adjusted Exercise Price.

     E  = the current Exercise Price.

     O  = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date.


                                       8
<PAGE>
 
     N  = the number of additional shares of Common Stock issued upon
          exercise thereof.
   
     P  = the offering price per share of the additional shares.

     M  = the current market price per share of Common Stock on the record date.

          The adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such rights,
options or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the
record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive the
rights, options or warrants.

          (c)  Adjustment for Other Distributions.
               ---------------------------------- 

          If the Company distributes to all holders of its Common Stock any of
its assets or any rights or warrants to purchase assets or other securities of
the Company, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted in accordance with the
formula:


                       E' = E x M - F
                                -----
                                  M
where:

     E' = the adjusted Exercise Price.

     E  = the current Exercise Price.

     M  = the current market price per share of Common Stock on the record date
          mentioned below.

     F  = the fair market value on the record date of the assets, securities,
          rights or warrants applicable to one share of Common Stock.  The Board
          of Directors shall determine the fair market value.

          The adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such
distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record
date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive the distribution.

          This subsection (c) does not apply to (i) cash dividends or cash
distributions paid out of consolidated current or retained earnings as shown on
the books of the Company prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, (ii) distributions of capital stock of the Company
referred to in subsection (a) of this Section 12 or (iii) distribution of
rights, options or warrants referred to in subsection (b) of this Section 12.


                                       9
<PAGE>
 
          (d)  Current Market Price.
               -------------------- 

          In subsections (b) and (c) of this Section 12 the current market price
per share of Common Stock on any date is the average of the Quoted Prices of the
Common Stock for 30 consecutive trading days commencing 45 trading days before
the date in question.  The "Quoted Price" of the Common Stock is the last
reported sales price of the Common Stock as reported by NASDAQ, National Market
System, or if the Common Stock is listed on a securities exchange, the last
reported sales price of the Common Stock on the principal such exchange, which
shall be for consolidated trading if applicable to such exchange, or if neither
so reported or listed, the last reported bid price of the Common Stock.  In the
absence of one or more such quotations, the Board of Directors of the Company
shall determine the current market price on the basis of such quotations as it
in good faith considers appropriate.

          (e)  When De Minimis Adjustment May Be Deferred.
               ------------------------------------------ 

          No adjustment in the Exercise Price need be made unless the adjustment
would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Exercise Price.  Any
adjustments that are not made shall be carried forward and taken into account in
any subsequent adjustment.

          All calculations under this Section shall be made to the nearest cent
or to the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be.

          (f)  When No Adjustment Required.
               --------------------------- 

          No adjustment need be made for a transaction referred to in
subsections (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 12 if Warrant holders are to
participate in the transaction on a basis and with notice that the Board of
Directors determines to be fair and appropriate in light of the basis and notice
on which holders of Common Stock participate in the transaction.

          No adjustment need be made for the issuance of rights to purchase
Common Stock pursuant to a Company plan for reinvestment of dividends or
interest.

          No adjustment need be made for a change in the par value (or no par
value) of the Common Stock.

          To the extent the Warrants become convertible into cash, no adjustment
need be made thereafter as to the cash. Interest will not accrue on the cash.

          (g)  Notice of Adjustment.
               -------------------- 

          Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted, the Company shall provide the
notices required by Section 14 hereof.

          (h)  Voluntary Reduction.
               ------------------- 

          The Company from time to time may elect to reduce the Exercise Price
by any amount for any period of time if the period is at least 15 days and if
the reduction is irrevocable during the period; provided, however, that in no
                                                --------  -------            
event may the Exercise Price be less than the par value of a share of Common
Stock.

          Whenever the Exercise Price is reduced, the Company shall mail to
Warrant holders a notice of the reduction.  The Company shall mail the notice at
least 5 days before the date the reduced Exercise Price takes effect.  The
notice shall state the reduced Exercise Price and the period it will be in
effect.

          A reduction of the Exercise Price does not change or adjust the
Exercise Price otherwise in effect for purposes of subsections (a), (b) or (c)
of this Section 12.

          (i)  Notice of Certain Transactions.
               ------------------------------ 

          If:

               (1) the Company takes any action that would require an adjustment
     in the Exercise Price pursuant to subsections (a), (b) or (c) of this
     Section 12 and if the Company does not arrange for Warrant holders to
     participate pursuant to subsection (f) of this Section 12;

               (2) the Company takes any action that would require a
     supplemental Warrant Agreement pursuant to subsection (j) of this Section
     12; or

               (3) there is a liquidation or dissolution of the Company,

the Company shall mail to Warrant holders a notice stating the proposed record
date for a dividend or distribution or the proposed effective date of a
subdivision, combination, reclassification, consolidation, merger, transfer,
lease, liquidation or dissolution.  The Company shall mail the notice at least
15 days before such date.  Failure to mail the notice or any defect in it shall
not affect the validity of the transaction.

          (j)  Reorganization of Company.
               ------------------------- 

          If the Company consolidates or merges with or into, or transfers or
leases all or substantially all its assets to, any person, upon consummation of
such transaction the Warrants shall


                                      11
<PAGE>
 
automatically become exercisable for the kind and amount of securities, cash or
other assets which the holder of a Warrant would have owned immediately after
the consolidation, merger, transfer or lease if the Holder had exercised the
Warrant immediately before the effective date of the transaction.  Concurrently
with the consummation of such transaction, the corporation formed by or
surviving any such consolidation or merger if other than the Company, or the
person to which such sale or conveyance shall have been made, shall enter into a
supplemental Warrant Agreement so providing and further providing for
adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practical to the
adjustments provided for in this Section.  The successor Company shall mail to
Warrant holders a notice describing the supplemental Warrant Agreement.

          If the issuer of securities deliverable upon exercise of Warrants
under the supplemental Warrant Agreement is an affiliate of the formed,
surviving, transferee or lessee corporation, that issuer shall join in the
supplemental Warrant Agreement.

          If this subsection (j) applies to any transaction, subsections (a),
(b) and (c) of this Section 12 shall not apply to such transaction.

          (k)  Company Determination Final.
               --------------------------- 

          Any determination that the Company or the Board of Directors must make
pursuant to this Section 12 shall be conclusive.

          (l)  Warrant Agent's Disclaimer.
               -------------------------- 

          The Warrant Agent has no duty to determine when an adjustment under
this Section 12 should be made, how it should be made or what it should be.  The
Warrant Agent has no duty to determine whether any provisions of a supplemental
Warrant Agreement under subsection (j) of this Section 12 are correct.  The
Warrant Agent makes no representation as to the validity or value of any
securities or assets issued upon exercise of Warrants.  The Warrant Agent shall
not be responsible for the Company's failure to comply with this Section.

          (m)  When Issuance or Payment May Be Deferred.
               ---------------------------------------- 

          In any case in which this Section 12 shall require that an adjustment
in the Exercise Price be made effective as of a record date for a specified
event, the Company may elect to defer until the occurrence of such event (i)
issuing to the holder of any Warrant exercised after such record date the
Warrant Shares and other capital stock of the Company, if any, issuable upon
such exercise over and above the Warrant Shares and other capital stock of the
Company, if any, issuable upon such exercise on the basis of the Exercise Price
and (ii) paying to such holder any


                                      12
<PAGE>
 
amount in cash in lieu of a fractional share pursuant to Section 13; provided,
                                                                     -------- 
however, that the Company shall deliver to such holder a due bill or other
- -------                                                                   
appropriate instrument evidencing such holder's right to receive such additional
Warrant Shares, other capital stock and cash upon the occurrence of the event
requiring such adjustment.

          (n)  Adjustment in Number of Shares.
               ------------------------------ 

          Upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section
12, each Warrant outstanding prior to the making of the adjustment in the
Exercise Price shall thereafter evidence the right to receive upon payment of
the adjusted Exercise Price that number of shares of Common Stock (calculated to
the nearest hundredth) obtained from the following formula:

                            N'= N x  E
                                    ---
                                     E'

where:

     N' = the adjusted number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of a
          Warrant by payment of the adjusted Exercise Price.

     N  = the number or Warrant Shares previously issuable upon exercise of a
          Warrant by payment of the Exercise Price prior to adjustment.

     E' = the adjusted Exercise Price.

     E  = the Exercise Price prior to adjustment.

          (o)  Form of Warrants.
               ---------------- 

          Irrespective of any adjustments in the Exercise Price or the number or
kind of shares purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants, Warrants
theretofore or thereafter issued may continue to express the same price and
number and kind of shares as are stated in the Warrants initially issuable
pursuant to this Agreement.

          SECTION 13.  Fractional Interests.  The Company shall not be required
                       --------------------                                    
to issue fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of Warrants.  If more than
one Warrant shall be presented for exercise in full at the same time by the same
holder, the number of full Warrant Shares which shall be issuable upon the
exercise thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of
Warrant Shares purchasable on exercise of the Warrants so presented.  If any
fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this Section 13,
be issuable on the exercise of any Warrants (or specified portion thereof), the
Company shall pay to the exercising Warrant holder (in lieu of issuance of such
fractional Warrant Share) an amount in cash


                                      13
<PAGE>
 
equal to the Exercise Price on the date the Warrant is presented for exercise,
multiplied by such fraction.

          SECTION 14.  Notices to Warrant Holders.  Upon any adjustment of the
                       --------------------------                             
Exercise Price pursuant to Section 12, the Company shall promptly thereafter (i)
cause to be filed with the Warrant Agent a certificate signed by the Chief
Financial Officer, the Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer, setting forth the
Exercise Price after such adjustment and setting forth in reasonable detail the
method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculations are based and
setting forth the number of Warrant Shares (or portion thereof) issuable after
such adjustment of the Exercise Price, upon exercise of a Warrant and payment of
the adjusted Exercise Price, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of
the correctness of the matters set forth therein, and (ii) cause to be given to
each of the registered holders of the Warrant Certificates at his or her address
appearing on the Warrant register written notice of such adjustments by first-
class mail, postage prepaid.  Where appropriate, such notice may be given in
advance and included as a part of any notice required to be mailed under the
other provisions of this Agreement.

          SECTION 15.  Merger, Consolidation or Change of Name of Warrant Agent.
                       -------------------------------------------------------- 
Any corporation into which the Warrant Agent may be merged or with which it may
be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation
to which the Warrant Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to
the business of the Warrant Agent, shall be the successor to the Warrant Agent
hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the
part of any of the parties hereto, provided that such corporation would be
eligible for appointment as a successor warrant agent under the provisions of
Section 17.  In case at the time such successor to the Warrant Agent shall
succeed to the agency created by this Agreement, and in case at that time any of
the Warrant Certificates shall have been countersigned but not delivered, any
such successor to the Warrant Agent may adopt the countersignature of the
original Warrant Agent; and in case at that time any of the Warrant Certificates
shall not have been countersigned, any successor to the Warrant Agent may
countersign such Warrant Certificates either in the name of the predecessor
Warrant Agent or in the name of the successor to the Warrant Agent; and in all
such cases such Warrant Certificates shall have the full force and effect
provided in the Warrant Certificates and in this Agreement.

          In case at any time the name of the Warrant Agent shall be changed and
at such time any of the Warrant Certificates shall have been countersigned but
not delivered, the Warrant Agent whose name has been changed may adopt the
countersignature under its prior name, and in case at that time any of the
Warrant Certificates shall not have been countersigned, the Warrant Agent may
countersign such Warrant Certificates either in its prior name or in its changed
name, and in all such cases such Warrant


                                      14
<PAGE>
 
Certificates shall have the full force and effect provided in the Warrant
Certificates and in this Agreement.

          SECTION 16.  Warrant Agent.  The Warrant Agent undertakes the duties
                       -------------                                          
and obligations imposed by this Agreement upon the following terms and
conditions, by all of which the Company and the holders of Warrants, by their
acceptance thereof, shall be bound:

               (a)   The statements contained herein and in the Warrant
     Certificates shall be taken as statements of the Company and the Warrant
     Agent assumes no responsibility for the correctness of any of the same
     except such as describe the Warrant Agent or action taken or to be taken by
     it.  The Warrant Agent assumes no responsibility with respect to the
     distribution of the Warrant Certificates except as herein otherwise
     provided.

               (b)   The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for any failure
     of the Company to comply with any of the covenants contained in this
     Agreement or in the Warrant Certificates to be complied with by the
     Company.

               (c)   The Warrant Agent may consult at any time with counsel
     satisfactory to it (who may be counsel for the Company) and the Warrant
     Agent shall incur no liability or responsibility to the Company or to any
     holder of any Warrant Certificate in respect of any action taken, suffered
     or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the opinion
     or the advice of such counsel.

               (d)   The Warrant Agent shall incur no liability or
     responsibility to the Company or to any holder of any Warrant Certificate
     for any action taken in reliance on any Warrant Certificate, certificate of
     shares, notice, resolution, waiver, consent, order, certificate, or other
     paper, document or instrument believed by it to be genuine and to have been
     signed, sent or presented by the proper party or parties.

               (e)   The Company agrees to pay to the Warrant Agent reasonable
     compensation for all services rendered by the Warrant Agent in the
     execution of this Agreement, to reimburse the Warrant Agent for all
     expenses, taxes and governmental charges and other charges of any kind and
     nature incurred by the Warrant Agent in the execution of this Agreement and
     to indemnify the Warrant Agent and save it harmless against any and all
     liabilities, including judgments, costs and counsel fees, for anything done
     or omitted by the Warrant Agent in the execution of this Agreement except
     as a result of its negligence or bad faith.

               (f)   The Warrant Agent shall be under no obligation to institute
     any action, suit or legal proceeding


                                      15

     or to take any other action likely to involve expense unless the Company or
     one or more registered holders of Warrant Certificates shall furnish the
     Warrant Agent with reasonable security and indemnity for any costs and
     expenses which may be incurred, but this provision shall not affect the
     power of the Warrant Agent to take such action as it may consider proper,
     whether with or without any such security or indemnity.  All rights of
     action under this Agreement or under any of the Warrants may be enforced by
     the Warrant Agent without the possession of any of the Warrant Certificates
     or the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative
     thereto, and any such action, suit or proceeding instituted by the Warrant
     Agent shall be brought in its name as Warrant Agent and any recovery of
     judgment shall be for the ratable benefit of the registered holders of the
     Warrants, as their respective rights or interests may appear.

               (g)   The Warrant Agent, and any stockholder, director, officer
     or employee of it, may buy, sell or deal in any of the Warrants or other
     securities of the Company or become pecuniarily interested in any
     transaction in which the Company may be interested, or contract with or
     lend money to the Company or otherwise act as fully and freely as though it
     were not Warrant Agent under this Agreement. Nothing herein shall preclude
     the Warrant Agent from acting in any other capacity for the Company or for
     any other legal entity.

               (h)   The Warrant Agent shall act hereunder solely as agent for
     the Company, and its duties shall be determined solely by the provisions
     hereof. The Warrant Agent shall not be liable for anything which it may do
     or refrain from doing in connection with this Agreement except for its own
     negligence or bad faith.

               (i)   The Warrant Agent shall not at any time be under any duty
     or responsibility to any holder of any Warrant Certificate to make or cause
     to be made any adjustment of the Exercise Price or number of the Warrant
     Shares or other securities or property deliverable as provided in this
     Agreement, or to determine whether any facts exist which may require any of
     such adjustments, or with respect to the nature or extent of any such
     adjustments, when made, or with respect to the method employed in making
     the same. The Warrant Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the
     validity or value or the kind or amount of any Warrant Shares or of any
     securities or property which may at any time be issued or delivered upon
     the exercise of any Warrant or with respect to whether any such Warrant
     Shares or other securities will when issued be validly issued and fully
     paid and nonassessable, and makes no representation with respect thereto.

          SECTION 17.  Change of Warrant Agent.  If the Warrant Agent shall
                       -----------------------                             
become incapable of acting as Warrant Agent, the Company shall appoint a
successor to such Warrant Agent.  If the Company shall fail to make such
appointment within a period of 30 days after it has been notified in writing of
such incapacity by the Warrant Agent, then the registered holder of any Warrant
Certificate may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment
of a successor to the Warrant Agent.  Pending appointment of a successor to such
Warrant Agent, either by the Company or by such a court, the duties of the
Warrant Agent shall be carried out by the Company.  After appointment, the
successor to the Warrant Agent shall be vested with the same powers, rights,
duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally named as Warrant Agent
without further act or deed; but the former Warrant Agent shall deliver and
transfer to the successor to the Warrant Agent any property at the time held by
it hereunder and execute and deliver any further assurance, conveyance, act or
deed necessary for the purpose.  Failure to give any notice provided for in this
Section 17, however, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or
validity of the appointment of a successor to the Warrant Agent.

          SECTION 18.  Notices to Company and Warrant Agent. Any notice or
                       ------------------------------------               
demand authorized by this Agreement to be given or made by the Warrant Agent or
by the registered holder of any Warrant Certificate to or on the Company shall

          In case the Company shall fail to maintain such office or agency or
shall fail to give such notice of the location or of any change in the location
thereof, presentations may be made and notices and demands may be served at the
principal office of the Warrant Agent.

          Any notice pursuant to this Agreement to be given by the Company or by
the registered holder(s) of any Warrant Certificate to the Warrant Agent shall
be sufficiently given when and if deposited in the mail, first-class or

expiring October 8, 1998 (the "Warrants") to purchase Common Stock, par value
$1.00 (the "Common Stock"), of Host Marriott Corporation, a Delaware corporation

the Company one fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock (a "Warrant
Share") at the exercise price (the "Exercise Price") of (i) $8.00, if exercised
on or before 5:00 p.m. New York City time on October 8, 1996 or (ii) $10.00, if
exercised after 5:00 p.m. New York City time on October 8, 1996 but on or before

certain events set forth in the Warrant Agreement.

          No Warrant may be exercised after 5:00 p.m., New York City time on

          This Warrant Certificate shall not be valid unless countersigned by

                         [Form of Warrant Certificate]

                                   [Reverse]

          The Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate are part of a duly
authorized issue of Warrants expiring October 8, 1998 entitling the holder on
exercise to receive shares of Common Stock, par value $1.00, of the Company (the
"Common Stock"), and are issued pursuant to a Warrant Agreement dated as of
_____________, 1994 (the "Warrant Agreement"), duly executed and delivered by
the Company to First Chicago Trust Company of New York, a New York banking
corporation, as warrant agent (the "Warrant Agent"), which Warrant Agreement is
hereby incorporated by reference in and made a part of this instrument and is
hereby referred to for a description of the rights, limitation of rights,
obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Warrant Agent, the Company
and the holders (the words "holders" or "holder" meaning the registered holders
or registered holder of the Warrants).  A copy of the Warrant Agreement may be
obtained by the holder hereof upon written request to the Company.

          Warrants may be exercised at any time on or before 5:00 p.m., New York
City time on October 8, 1998; provided, however, that no Warrants may be
exercised during any Suspension Period, as defined in the Warrant Agreement.
The holder of Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate may exercise them
by surrendering this Warrant Certificate, with the form of election to purchase
set forth hereon properly completed and executed, together with payment of the
Exercise Price in cash at the office of the Warrant Agent.  In the event that
upon any exercise of Warrants evidenced hereby the number of Warrants exercised
shall be less than the total number of Warrants evidenced hereby, there shall be
issued to the holder hereof (or, subject to reimbursement for certain transfer
costs, such holder's assignee) a new Warrant Certificate evidencing the number
of Warrants not exercised.

          The Warrant Agreement provides that upon the occurrence of certain
events the Exercise Price set forth on the face hereof may, subject to certain
conditions, be adjusted.  If the Exercise Price is adjusted, the Warrant
Agreement provides that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
exercise of each Warrant shall be adjusted.  No fractions of a share of Common
Stock will be issued upon the exercise of any Warrant, but the Company will pay
the cash value thereof determined as provided in the Warrant Agreement.

          Warrant Certificates, when surrendered at the office of the Warrant
Agent by the registered holder thereof in person or by legal representative or
attorney duly authorized in writing, may be exchanged, in the manner and subject
to the limitations provided in the Warrant Agreement (including payment of any
other costs and expenses of exchange) for another Warrant Certificate

                                      A-4
<PAGE>
 
or Warrant Certificates of like tenor evidencing in the aggregate a like number
of Warrants.

          Upon due presentation for registration of transfer of this Warrant
Certificate at the office of the Warrant Agent a new Warrant Certificate or
Warrant Certificates of like tenor and evidencing in the aggregate a like number
of Warrants shall be issued to the transferee(s) in exchange for this Warrant
Certificate, subject to the limitations provided in the Warrant Agreement
(including payment of any tax or other costs and expenses in connection
therewith, and the Company's right to suspend transfers of Warrant Certificates
during the pendency of any Suspension Period).

          The Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the registered
holder(s) thereof as the absolute owner(s) of this Warrant Certificate
(notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon made by
anyone), for the purpose of any exercise hereof, of any distribution to the
holder(s) hereof, and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the
Warrant Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.  Neither the
Warrants nor this Warrant Certificate entitles any holder hereof to any rights
of a stockholder of the Company.

                                   [Reverse]

          The Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate are part of a duly
authorized issue of Warrants expiring October 8, 1998 entitling the holder on
exercise to receive shares of Common Stock, par value $1.00, of the Company (the
"Common Stock"), and are issued pursuant to a Warrant Agreement dated as of
_____________, 1994 (the "Warrant Agreement"), duly executed and delivered by
the Company to First Chicago Trust Company of New York, a New York banking
corporation, as warrant agent (the "Warrant Agent"), which Warrant Agreement is
hereby incorporated by reference in and made a part of this instrument and is
hereby referred to for a description of the rights, limitation of rights,
obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Warrant Agent, the Company
and the holders (the words "holders" or "holder" meaning the registered holders
or registered holder of the Warrants).  A copy of the Warrant Agreement may be
obtained by the holder hereof upon written request to the Company.

          Warrants may be exercised at any time on or before 5:00 p.m., New York
City time on October 8, 1998; provided, however, that no Warrants may be
exercised during any Suspension Period, as defined in the Warrant Agreement.
The holder of Warrants evidenced by this Warrant Certificate may exercise them
by surrendering this Warrant Certificate, with the form of election to purchase
set forth hereon properly completed and executed, together with payment of the
Exercise Price in cash at the office of the Warrant Agent.  In the event that
upon any exercise of Warrants evidenced hereby the number of Warrants exercised
shall be less than the total number of Warrants evidenced hereby, there shall be
issued to the holder hereof (or, subject to reimbursement for certain transfer
costs, such holder's assignee) a new Warrant Certificate evidencing the number
of Warrants not exercised.

          The Warrant Agreement provides that upon the occurrence of certain
events the Exercise Price set forth on the face hereof may, subject to certain
conditions, be adjusted.  If the Exercise Price is adjusted, the Warrant
Agreement provides that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
exercise of each Warrant shall be adjusted.  No fractions of a share of Common
Stock will be issued upon the exercise of any Warrant, but the Company will pay
the cash value thereof determined as provided in the Warrant Agreement.

          Warrant Certificates, when surrendered at the office of the Warrant
Agent by the registered holder thereof in person or by legal representative or
attorney duly authorized in writing, may be exchanged, in the manner and subject
to the limitations provided in the Warrant Agreement (including payment of any
other costs and expenses of exchange) for another Warrant Certificate

or Warrant Certificates of like tenor evidencing in the aggregate a like number
of Warrants.

          Upon due presentation for registration of transfer of this Warrant
Certificate at the office of the Warrant Agent a new Warrant Certificate or
Warrant Certificates of like tenor and evidencing in the aggregate a like number
of Warrants shall be issued to the transferee(s) in exchange for this Warrant
Certificate, subject to the limitations provided in the Warrant Agreement
(including payment of any tax or other costs and expenses in connection
therewith, and the Company's right to suspend transfers of Warrant Certificates
during the pendency of any Suspension Period).

          The Company and the Warrant Agent may deem and treat the registered
holder(s) thereof as the absolute owner(s) of this Warrant Certificate
(notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing hereon made by
anyone), for the purpose of any exercise hereof, of any distribution to the
holder(s) hereof, and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the
Warrant Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.  Neither the
Warrants nor this Warrant Certificate entitles any holder hereof to any rights
of a stockholder of the Company.

         Re:  Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock
              Registration Statement on Form S-1
              -----------------------------------------------

Gentlemen:

          You have requested our opinion under Delaware law with respect to the 
Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock ("the Preferred Stock") of Host 
Marriott Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("the Company"), in connection with
the above-referenced Registration Statement on Form S-1 under the Securities Act
of 1933 relating to the registration of 7,700,000 warrants to acquire the common
stock of the Company and 7,700,000 shares of the common stock of the Company
(the "Registration Statement").

          You have advised us that the Preferred Stock has a liquidation 
preference of $50,000.00 per share plus an amount in cash equal to all accrued 
but unpaid dividends thereon to the date of distribution.  Although the 
Preferred Stock is no par its stated capital is $50,000 per share.  The specific
questions posed are whether under Delaware law, exclusive of any restrictions


<PAGE>
 
Host Marriott
October 14, 1994
Page 2



contained in the Certificate of Incorporation, imposed by the board of 
directors, or contained in any agreement or instrument by which the Company is 
bound, (i) there will exist any restriction upon the Company's surplus solely by
reason of the excess of the Preferred Stock's liquidation preference over its 
stated capital, and (ii) any remedy will be available to holders of the 
Preferred Stock before or after payment of any dividend that would reduce 
surplus to an amount less than the excess of the liquidation preference over the
stated capital of the Preferred Stock.  In our opinion, the answer to each 
question is no.

          With respect to the excess of the Preferred Stock's liquidation 
preference over the stock's stated capital, the Delaware General Corporation Law
("DGCL") does not require a sinking fund, reserve or other restriction on 
surplus where the liquidation value of preferred stock exceeds its stated 
capital, and we have found no decision of the Delaware courts imposing such a 
restriction.  This conclusion finds support in the provisions of Section 170 of 
the Delaware statute which regulates the payment of dividends.  Section 170(a) 
of the DGCL provides that a corporation may declare and pay dividends either (1)
"out of its surplus" (as elsewhere defined in the statute), or (2) if there is 
no surplus, "out of its net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is
declared and/or the preceding fiscal year." 8 Del.C. (S)170(a).

<PAGE>
 
Host Marriott

Page 3



          With respect to the latter, Section 170 provides that when there is a 
capital deficit, and capital has been depleted to an amount less than the 
aggregate amount of capital represented by outstanding stock of all classes 
having a preference upon a distribution of assets, no dividend on any 
outstanding shares may be legally paid out of such net profits until the 
deficiency in the amount of capital represented by the stock having a 
liquidation preference shall have been restored.  Id.  Thus, the only statutory 
                                                  --
restriction upon payment of dividends arises when the capital of the corporation
has been depleted to an amount less than the aggregate stated capital of the 
outstanding stock having a liquidation preference.

          With respect to the former, surplus is defined in Section 154 of the 
DGCL as follows:
          The excess, if any, at any given time, of the net assets of the
          corporation over the amount so determined to be capital shall be
          surplus. Net assets means the amount by which total assets exceed
          total liabilities. Capital and surplus are not liabilities for this
          purpose.
8 Del.C. (S)154
          This formula for determining surplus available for dividends does not 
explicitly require or recognize any restriction for a liquidation preference in 
excess of stated capital.  Thus it appears that the mere existence of a spread 
between aggregate
<PAGE>
 
Host Marriott
October 14, 1994
Page 4



stated capital and total liquidation preference does not limit or restrict the 
use of surplus for the payment of dividends.
          
          The question remains, however, whether the value of a liquidation 
preference should be treated as a liability in calculating net assets for 
purposes of Section 154.  While our courts have not ruled upon this precise 
question, the decision of the Delaware Supreme Court in Rothschild Int'l Corp. 
                                                        ----------------------
V. Liggett Group Inc., Del.Supr., 474 A.2d 133 (1984) lends further support to 
- ---------------------
our conclusion that such a contention would not prevail.  In that decision, 
preferred stockholders of a merged corporation asserted that the merger amounted
to a liquidation of the company, triggering their liquidation preference.  
Rejecting this claim, the Court observed that "[o]nly upon a liquidation of its 
assets would Liggett's preferred shareholders' charter rights to payment of par 
value 'spring into being'."  Id. at 136.  Similarly, in Dart V. Kohlberg, 
                             --                         -----------------
Kravis, Roberts & Co., Del.Ch., C.A. No. 7366, Hartnett, V.C. (May 6, 1985),
- ---------------------
the court rejected a claim asserted by preferred shockholders that a leveraged 
buy-out merger of the corporation constituted a redemption entitling them to be 
paid either the redemption price or liquidation price provided in the 
certificate of incorporation.  Other Delaware decisions have held that a 
preferred shockholder is not a creditor of the corporation with respect to 
accumulated but unpaid dividends.  See Federal

Del.Ch., 142 A.2d 520, 523 (1958).
 
          Finally, two decisions in the United States District Court for 
Delaware, applying Delaware law, indicate that a liquidation preference does not
constitute a matured liability until liquidation actually occurs (or, possibly, 
when it becomes reasonably foreseeable).  In Goldman V. Postal Telegraph, Inc.,
                                             ---------------------------------  
52 F.Supp. 763 (D.Del. 1943), plaintiff attacked a plan which included amendment
of the defendant corporation's certificate of incorporation to eliminate the 
right of a class of preferred stockholders to receive a $60 per share 
liquidation preference.  Plaintiff contended that the elimination of the 
preference was an unconstitutional interference with his "fixed", "vested" or 
"contractual" rights.  In ruling that plaintiff's constitutional rights were not
violated, the court stated it had little doubt the Delaware courts
          . . . would have held the plaintiff's right to $60 on liquidation did
          not enjoy the qualities of a matured debt, but is indistinguishable
          from any other "preference" which is subject to alteration.
52 F.Supp. at 769.

          In Bailey V. Tubize Rayon Corp., 56 F.Supp. 418 (D.Del. 1944), 
             ----------------------------
plaintiff contended that an amendment that would have eliminated a class of 
preferred stock, and which its liquidation
<PAGE>
 
Host Marriott

preference, was invalid.  The court rejected this argument, stating 
         . . . the preferential right of the Class A stockholders [sic] to
         receive $100 in liquidation gives them no present interest in any
                                     -------------------------------------
         portion of the defendant's assets. That right would arise only upon the
         ---------------------------------
         liquidation of the defendant and, since defendant is engaged in a
         profitable going business, it is impossible to foresee ultimate
         liquidation values of the company.
56 F.Supp. at 423 (emphasis added).

          These authorities indicate that until liquidation occurs (or, 
possible, becomes reasonably foreseeable), a liquidation preference is not a 
matured debt and does not represent a present or vested interest in a 
corporation's assets./1/  This would strongly suggest that such a preference is 
not a liability that must be taken into account under Section 154 of the DGCL in
computing surplus available for dividends in a going concern.
          It could also be argued that the liquidation preference should be 
reflected when determining capital under the formula set forth in Section 154.  
It is clear under the terms of that section, however, that stated capital in the
case of shares having no par value consists only of the aggregate stated capital
of such

- -------------------------

1     Whether the foreseeability as opposed to the occurrence of liquidation
      would convert the liquidation preference of the preferred to a "matured
      debt" need not be and is not addressed here, since we have assumed that
      liquidation of the Company is not now reasonably foreseeable.

shares unless the board otherwise expressly provides for a higher capital 
account.  The liquidation preference therefore plays no part in this computation
under the terms of the statute.

          We therefore conclude that the difference between the stated capital 
and the higher liquidation preference of the Preferred Stock does not result in 
any restriction on the Company's surplus.  Dividends which would reduce surplus 
to a level within the spread between the aggregated stated capital and the 
liquidation preference of the Preferred Stock would be permissible under

and Guarantee Reimbursement Agreement dated as of October 8, 1993, as amended by
that certain Amendment No. 1 to Line of Credit and Guaranty Reimbursement 
Agreement dated as of January 19, 1994 (as so amended, the "Existing

     WHEREAS, the parties now wish to further amend the Existing Agreement to

                                  AGREEMENT:

     NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed:

     C.  Section 2.1(a); Regular Advances. Section 2.1(a) of the Agreement is 
amended and restated as follows:

             (a) Regular Advances. Marriott International agrees, on the terms 
     and conditions hereinafter set forth, to make advances (each a "Regular
     Advance") to Holdings from time to time on any Business Day during the
     Commitment Term, provided, that no such advance shall exceed the amount of
     the then Available Commitment less the amount of the Letter of Credit
     Reserve. Each Regular Advance shall be in the amount of $1,000,000 or an
     integral multiple of $1,000,000 (or if less, in an amount equal to the then
     Available Commitment less the Letter of Credit Reserve). Within the limits
     of the Available Commitment less the Letter of Credit Reserve, Holdings may
     borrow under this Section 2.1(a) (in accordance with the provisions of
     Section 2.2), prepay pursuant to Section 2.5 and (during the Commitment
     Term) re-borrow under this Section 2.1(a).

     D.  Sections 2.1(b); Guaranty Advances. Section 2.1(b) of the Agreement is 
amended by adding the following to the end of such Section:

     In addition to the foregoing, each Reserved Letter of Credit Funding under
     Section 2.12(d) hereof shall also constitute a deemed advance hereunder by
     Marriott International to Holdings effective as of the date of funding and
     shall constitute a "Guarantee Advance" for all purposes under this
     Agreement.

     E.  Sections 2.3(a) and (b); Commitment Advances, the Available Commitment,
and Commitment Reductions. Sections 2.3(a) and (b) of the Agreement and restated
as follows:

             (a) The Commitment and Commitment Reductions. The Commitment shall 
     terminate on the Commitment Termination Date. Prior to the Commitment
     Termination Date, the Commitment shall be automatically and permanently
     reduced, on a dollar for dollar basis, at such time as the sum of (i) the
     aggregate principal balance of the Outstanding Exchange Bonds, (ii) the
     aggregate principal amount of outstanding Regular Advances and Guarantee
     Advances hereunder, and (iii) the amount of the Letter of Credit Reserve,
     falls below $630,000,000 (the amount of the Commitment, as so reduced, to
     be equal to the sum of (i), (ii), and (iii)). Holdings shall also have the
     right, upon at least five Business Days' notice to Marriott

                                       2
<PAGE>
 
     International, to terminate in whole or reduce in part the Commitment;
     provided, however, that no termination or reduction shall be effective if,
     or to the extent that, such termination or reduction would result in a
     default under or is otherwise prohibited by the Indenture of the L.C. Bank
     Agreements.

             (b)  The Available Commitment. At any given time during the 
     Commitment Term, the "Available Commitment" shall consist of the Commitment
     as then in effect, as reduced by the aggregate principal amount of all
     Regular Advances and Guarantee Advances occurring prior to such time, and
     as increased by the aggregate principal amount of all repayments (whether
     mandatory or optional) of Regular Advances and Guarantee Advances occurring
     prior to such time; provided, however, that (1) if the Available Commitment
     (calculated as set forth above) minus the amount of the Letter of Credit
     Reserve is less than or equal to zero, no further Regular Advances will be
     permitted until the Available Commitment (calculated as set forth above) 
     minus the amount of the Letter of Credit Reserve is again positive and 
     Regular Advances may again be made pursuant to Sections 2.1(a) and 2.2, and
     (2) at no time shall the Available Commitment exceed the aggregate
     principal amount of the Exchange Bonds then Outstanding. Excess Interest
     Advances and repayment of Excess Interest Advances have no effect on the
     Available Commitment.

     F.  Section 2.12; the Letter of Credit Reserve and Letter of Credit 
Fundings. The following is added as Section 2.12 of the Agreement:

         Section 2.12. Letter of Credit Reserve and Letter of Credit Fundings.
     In order to assist the Host Marriott Group in obtaining, replacing or
     otherwise maintaining certain third party letters of credit used in the
     businesses of the Host Marriott Group, Holdings, each other Host Marriott
     Party, and Marriott International agree to reserve a portion of the
     Available Commitment through August 31, 1999 (the "Letter of Credit
     Reserve") exclusively for the funding of Reserved Letters of Credit upon
     the terms and conditions set forth below:

             (a)  Reserved Letters of Credit. Subject to Section 2.12(d), each 
         standby or direct pay letter of credit issued by one or more financial
         institutions (individually or collectively with respect to a letter of
         credit, the "L.C. Bank") for the benefit of a Host Marriott Group
         Member or an Affiliate of a Host Marriott Group Member shall constitute
         a "Reserved Letter of Credit" from such time as each of the following
         conditions are fully satisfied with respect to such letter of credit:

                  (1)  the letter of credit:

                       (A) was issued and outstanding on October 8, 1993 (or 
                  replaces such a letter of credit), was supported by a Marriott
                  International Guarantee prior to becoming a Reserved Letter of
                  Credit, and said


                                       3


<PAGE>

                  Marriott International Guarantee has been duly and fully
                  released by all beneficiaries thereof to the satisfaction of
                  Marriott International; or

                      (B) supports ordinary course operational requirements of
                  the Host/Travel Plazas Business and does not support
                  Indebtedness for Borrowed Money; provided that the face amount
                  of such letter of credit, when added to that of all other
                  Reserved Letters of Credit described in this Section
                  2.12(a)(1)(B) does not exceed $20,000,000; and

                  (2) Holdings, Marriott International, the L.C. Bank, and, if
             necessary or appropriate, other Host Marriott Group Members or
             Affiliates, have entered into an agreement (the "L.C. Bank
             Agreement") with respect to such letter of credit which, among
             other things, (i) establishes the dollar amount of the Letter of
             Credit Reserve to be set aside solely for such letter of credit
             (the "Reserved Portion") and, if requested by the L.C. Bank, (ii)
             assigns to the L.C. Bank all of Holdings' rights hereunder to
             borrow the Reserved Portion; and

                  (3) the Reserved Portion of such letter of credit, when added
             to the Reserved Portion of all other outstanding Reserved Letters
             of Credit, does not exceed the lesser of (A) $140,000,000 minus the
             aggregate amount of any Letter of Credit Fundings and (B) the then
             Available Commitment.


             (b) Amount of Letter Credit Reserve. The amount of the Letter of
         Credit Reserve shall at any given time prior to September 1, 1999 equal
         the aggregate Reserved Portions of all Reserved Letters of Credit, as
         decreased by the amount of each Letter of Credit Funding which has
         occurred prior to such time (as defined below).

             (c) Letter of Credit Fundings. If at any time prior to September 1,
         1999 and L.C. Bank has given Marriott International (1) written notice
         of (A) an Event of Default, (B) an event giving rise to a drawing under
         the terms of a Reserved Letter of Credit, or (C) any other event
         specified in the applicable L.C. Bank Agreement as giving rise to a
         funding under this Section 2.12(c) and (2) a written request for such
         funding which satisfies the terms of such L.C. Bank Agreement, Marriott
         International will on behalf of Holdings and in accordance with the
         terms of the applicable L.C. Bank Agreement, pay to the L.C. Bank, not
         later than the fifth Business Day following receipt of such notice and
         request, an amount not to exceed the Reserved Portion. Each such
         payment (a "Letter of Credit Funding") shall constitute a Guaranty
         Advance for all purposes hereunder and, accordingly, shall fully
         satisfy Marriott International's obligations to make Advances under
         Article II of this Agreement with respect to that portion of the
         Available Commitment which is equal to the amount of such Letter of
         Credit 

                                       4
<PAGE>
 
         Funding. Letter of Credit Fundings are not subject to the notice and
         timing provisions of Section 2.2, and shall not, with respect to any
         Reserved Letter of Credit, exceed in the aggregate the Reserved Portion
         attributable to such Reserved Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding
         anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Marriott
         International shall in no event be required to make any Letter of
         Credit Funding to the extent that such Letter of Credit Funding would
         exceed the then Available Commitment.

             (d) Replacement of Reserved Letter of Credit. The Host Marriott
         Group may from time to time seek to obtain new letters of credit (each,
         a "New Letter of Credit") for the purpose of replacing previously
         established Reserved Letters of Credit (each, an "Old Letter of
         Credit"). In order to accommodate such replacements, Marriott
         International and the Host Marriott Parties agree that a New Letter of
         Credit will constitute a Reserved Letter of Credit and the
         corresponding Old Letter of Credit will cease to constitute a Reserved
         Letter of Credit, if, and at such time prior to September 1, 1999 as,

                 (1) the requirements of Sections 2.12(a)(2), 2.12(a)(3), and
             (to the extent applicable) 2.12(a)(1)(B) are satisfied with respect
             to such New Letter of Credit (in each case determined as if the Old
             Letter of Credit no longer constituted a Reserved Letter of
             Credit);

                 (2) the face amount of the New Letter of Credit does not exceed
             the current available amount of the Old Letter of Credit; and

                 (3) Marriott International has received from the L.C. Bank for
             the Old Letter of Credit in form and substance satisfactory to
             Marriott International a duly executed written consent to the
             release of the Reserved Portion for such Old Letter of Credit and
             cancellation of the associated L.C. Bank Agreement (or, if the L.C.
             Bank Agreement relates to more than one Reserved Letter of Credit,
             release of the Old Letter of Credit from the terms of the L.C. Bank
             Agreement).

         Upon such replacement, the amount of the Letter of Credit Reserve will
         be adjusted to reflect any difference between the Reserved Portion for
         the Old Letter of Credit and the Reserved Portion for the New Letter of
         Credit.

             (d) Consent of Guarantors. Each of the Guarantors hereby consents
         to each and every L.C. Bank Agreement which is entered into by
         Holdings, irrevocably waives any objection to any such L.C. Bank
         Agreement, and agrees that each such L.C. Bank Agreement will be
         subject to all of the benefits of this Section 2.12, in each case
         regardless of whether or not any of the Guarantors is made party to any
         such L.C. Bank Agreement. The provisions of this paragraph are

                                       5
<PAGE>
 
         and are intended to be self-operative, and shall in no event require 
any further written agreement or consent by any of the Guarantors.

     G.  Representations and Warranties.

         1.  The Agreement and the Amendment. Each Host Marriott Party 
represents and warrants that (a) each of the representations and warranties 
contained in Section 4.1 through 4.4, inclusive, of the Existing Agreement is 
true and correct with respect to such Host Marriott Party on and as of the date 
hereof, as though made on and as of such date and (b) no Default or Event of 
Default has occurred and is continuing on and as of the date hereof. Without 
limiting the generality of the foregoing, each representation made in clause (a)
with respect to this Agreement shall be deemed to apply independently to both 
(i) this Amendment and (ii) the Agreement.

         2.  Solvency. Each of Host Marriott and Holdings represents that, as of
the date hereof, (a) the fair value of its property exceeds its total
liabilities (including, without limitation, contingent liabilities), (b) the
present fair saleable value of its aggregate assets is not less than the amount
that will be required to pay its probable liability on its debts as they become
absolute and matured, (c) it does not intend to, and does not believe that it
will, incur debts or liabilities beyond its ability to pay as such debts and
liabilities mature and (d) it is not engaged, and is not about to engage, in
business or a transaction for which its property would constitute an
unreasonably small capital. For purposes of this paragraph, the amount of
contingent liability shall be computed as the amount that, in light of all the
facts and circumstances existing at such time, represents the amount that can
reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability.

     H.  Exhibit E; Reporting Requirements. The following additional 
reporting requirement is added to Exhibit E to the Existing Agreement:

         XI.  Reports Pertaining to Letters of Credit. Host Marriott shall 
promptly provide Marriott International with (A) a cop of each Reserved Letter 
of Credit and each agreement and instrument pertaining thereto (including, 
without limitation, any reimbursement agreement), and (B) a brief written 
description of all Reserved Letters of Credit and shall promptly update and 
reissue such description upon each (1) establishment of a Reserved Letter of 
Credit under Section 2.12(a), (2) Letter of Credit Funding, and (3) replacement 
of a Reserved Letter of Credit under Section 2.12(d).

         I.  Conditions of Effectiveness. This Amendment shall become effective 
when (such date, the ``Amendment Effective Date''), and only when:

             1.  Marriott International shall have received (i) an original of 
this Amendment fully executed by all Persons who are Host Marriott Parties as of
the Amendment Effective Date, (ii) certified copies of any resolutions of the 
Board of Directors of each such Host Marriott
<PAGE>
 
     Party which authorize such Host Marriott Party to enter into this Amendment
     and which have not been previously provided to Marriott International, and
     (iii) an opinion of counsel dated as of the Amendment Effective Date
     substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-1; and

         2. Holdings shall have received (i) an original of this Amendment fully
     executed by Marriott International, and (ii) an opinion of counsel dated
     as of the Amendment Date substantially the form attached hereto as 
     Exhibit D-2.

     J. Reference to and Effect on the Agreement. On and after the occurrence of
the Amendment Effective Date each reference in the Existing Agreement to "this
Agreement", "hereunder", "hereof" or words of like import referring to the
Agreement shall mean and be a reference to the Agreement as amended hereby.
Except as specifically amended hereby, the Existing Agreement is and shall
continue to be in full force and effect and is hereby in all respects ratified
and confirmed. The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall
not, except as except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any
right, power or remedy of Marriott International nor constitute a waiver of any
provision of the Agreement.

     K. Execution in Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number 
of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each 
of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and 
all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same agreement.

     L. Governing Law. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN 
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF MARYLAND.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Amendment to be 
executed and delivered by their respective duly authorized officers as of the 
date first written above.
