TRANSFER OF ASSETS
------------------
Section 2.01. Transfer of Assets to Services. Prior to the
------------------------------
Distribution Date, Host Marriott shall take or cause to be taken all actions
necessary to cause the transfer, assignment, delivery and conveyance to
Services or any Operating Group Subsidiary of all of Host Marriott's and its
Subsidiaries' right, title and interest in the Operating Group Assets.
Section 2.02. Transfers of Assets from Operating Group Subsidiaries
-----------------------------------------------------
to Host Marriott or Real Estate Group Subsidiaries.
--------------------------------------------------
Prior to the Distribution Date, Host International shall take or cause
to be taken all action necessary to cause the transfer, assignment, delivery
and conveyance to Host Marriott Hospitality, Inc. of all of such entity's
right, title and interest in the Sacramento Airport Hotel.
Section 2.03. Transfers Not Effected Prior to the Distribution. To
------------------------------------------------
the extent that any transfers contemplated by this Article II shall not have
been fully effected on the Distribution Date, the parties shall cooperate to
effect such transfers as promptly as shall be practicable following the
Distribution Date. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require the transfer of
any assets or the assumption of any Liabilities which by their terms or
operation of law cannot be transferred or assumed; provided, however, that
-------- -------
Services and Host Marriott and their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates
shall cooperate in seeking to obtain any necessary consents or approvals for
the transfer of all assets and Liabilities contemplated to be transferred
pursuant to this Article II. In the event that any such transfer of assets or
Liabilities has not
18
<PAGE>
been consummated effective as of the Distribution Date, the party retaining
such asset or Liability shall thereafter hold such asset in trust for the use
and benefit of the party entitled thereto (at the expense of the party
entitled thereto) and retain such Liability for the account of the party by
whom such Liability is to be assumed pursuant hereto, and take such other
actions as may be reasonably required in order to place the parties, insofar
as reasonably possible, in the same position as would have existed had such
asset been transferred or such Liability been assumed as contemplated hereby.
As and when any such asset or Liability becomes transferable, such transfer
and assumption shall be effected forthwith. The parties agree that, except as
set forth in this Section 2.03, as of the Distribution Date, each party hereto
shall be deemed to have acquired complete and sole beneficial ownership over
all of the assets, together with all rights, powers and privileges incidental
thereto, and shall be deemed to have assumed in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement all of the Liabilities, and all duties, obligations and
responsibilities incidental thereto, which such party is entitled to acquire
or required to assume pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
Section 2.04. Cooperation Re: Assets. In the case that at any time
-----------------------
after the Distribution Date, Services reasonably determines that any of the
Real Estate Group Assets are essential for the conduct of the Operating Group
Business, or Host Marriott reasonably determines that any of the Operating
Group Assets are essential for the conduct of the Real Estate Group Business,
and the nature of such assets makes it impracticable for Services or Host
Marriott, as the case may be, to obtain substitute assets or to make
alternative arrangements on commercially reasonable terms to conduct their
respective businesses, and reasonable provisions for the use thereof are not
already included in the Related Agreements, then Services (with respect to the
Operating Group Assets) and Host Marriott (with respect to the Real Estate
Group
19
<PAGE>
Assets) shall cooperate to make such assets available to the other party on
commercially reasonable terms, as may be reasonably required for such party to
maintain normal business operations (provided that such assets shall be
required to be made available only until such time as the other party may
reasonably obtain substitute assets or make alternative arrangements on
commercially reasonable terms to permit it to maintain normal business
operations).
Section 2.05. No Representations or Warranties; Consents. Each of
------------------------------------------
the parties hereto understands and agrees that no party hereto is, in this
Agreement, in any Related Agreement, or otherwise, representing or warranting
in any way (i) as to the value or freedom from encumbrance of, or any other
matter concerning, any assets of such party or (ii) as to the legal
sufficiency to convey title to any asset transferred pursuant to this
Agreement or any Related Agreement. It is also agreed and understood that
there are no warranties, express or implied, as to the merchantability or
fitness of any of the assets either transferred to or retained by the parties,
as the case may be, and all such assets shall be "as is, where is" and "with
all faults" provided, however, that the absence of warranties shall have no
effect upon the allocation of Liabilities under this Agreement and provided
further that Services represents and warrants that, prior to the Distribution
Date, Services and the Operating Group have maintained their accounts payable
and accounts receivable in a manner consistent with the customary practices of
the Operating Group Business. Each party hereto understands and agrees that
no party hereto is, in this Agreement, in any Related Agreement or otherwise,
representing or warranting in any way that the obtaining of any consents or
approvals, the execution and delivery of any amendatory agreements and the
making of any filings or applications contemplated by this Agreement, any
Related Agreement or otherwise will satisfy the provisions of any or all
applicable laws or judgments or other instruments or agreements relating to
such assets.
20
<PAGE>
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties shall use their good faith efforts
to obtain all consents and approvals, to enter into all reasonable amendatory
agreements and to make all filings and applications which may be reasonably
required for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and the Related Agreements, and shall take all such further
reasonable actions as shall be reasonably necessary to preserve for each of
the Services Group and the Host Marriott Group, to the greatest extent
feasible, the economic and operational benefits of the allocation of assets
and liabilities provided for in this Agreement. In case at any time after the
Distribution Date any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out
the purposes of this Agreement, the proper officers and directors of each
party to this Agreement shall take all such necessary or desirable action.
Section 2.06. Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments. In connection
---------------------------------------
with the Preliminary Transfers, the assignment of assets and the assumption of
Liabilities contemplated by this Agreement and any Related Agreements, the
parties shall execute, or cause to be executed by the appropriate entities,
the Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments in such forms as the parties shall
reasonably agree. The transfer of capital stock shall be effected by means of
delivery of stock certificates and executed stock powers and notation on the
stock record books of the corporation or other legal entities involved and, to
the extent required by applicable law, by notation on public registries.
Section 2.07. Cash Allocation; Cash Management.
--------------------------------
(a) Cash Allocation on the Distribution Date.
----------------------------------------
As of the close of business on the Distribution Date, Services shall
be allocated, out of the domestic and international cash bank balances and
short-term investments of Host Marriott and its Subsidiaries including all
Host Marriott Unit Cash ("Cash") recorded on the
21
<PAGE>
books of Host Marriott and its Subsidiaries, an amount of Cash (including the
Services Unit Cash) equal to the Services Initial Cash Balance and Host
Marriott shall retain all other Cash. To the extent practicable, the parties
shall use their reasonable best efforts to take all necessary action to cause
the Cash balances of Services and its Subsidiaries immediately prior to
consummation of the Distribution to equal the Services Initial Cash Balance.
In the event the actual Cash balances of Services and its Subsidiaries as of
the Distribution are less than the Services Initial Cash Balance, the amount
of the deficiency shall be recorded in the accounts of Host Marriott and
Services as of the Distribution Date as a payable from Host Marriott to
Services (which payable will be paid as promptly as practicable following the
Distribution); and in the event the actual Cash balances of Services and its
Subsidiaries as of the Distribution Date exceeds the Services Initial Cash
Balance, the amount of such excess shall be recorded in the accounts of Host
Marriott and Services as of the Distribution Date as a payable from Services
to Host Marriott (which payable will be paid as promptly as practicable
following the time it is determinable). Host Marriott's obligation to
transfer to Services Cash equal to the Services Initial Cash Balance pursuant
to this Section 2.07 is expressly conditioned upon Services and the Operating
Group maintaining the accounts payable and accounts receivable of the Services
Group from the date hereof through the Distribution Date in the ordinary
course of the Operating Group Business.
(b) Cash Management After the Distribution Date. Services shall
-------------------------------------------
establish and maintain a separate cash management system and accounting

Marriott or the Real Estate Group Subsidiaries on behalf of Services or the
Operating Group Subsidiaries in connection with the Operating Group
22
<PAGE>
Business (including without limitation, any such payments in respect of
Liabilities or other obligations of Services or the Operating Group
Subsidiaries under this Agreement and the Related Agreements) shall be
recorded in the accounts of the Services Group as a payable from the Services
Group to the Host Marriott Group; (ii) any payments by Services or the
Operating Group Subsidiaries on behalf of Host Marriott or the Real Estate
Group Subsidiaries in connection with the Real Estate Group Business
(including, without limitation, any such payments in respect to Liabilities or
other obligations of Host Marriott or the Real Estate Group Subsidiaries under
this Agreement and the Related Agreements) shall be recorded in the accounts
of the Host Marriott Group as a payable from the Host Marriott Group to the
Services Group; (iii) any cash payments received by Host Marriott and the Real
Estate Subsidiaries relating to the Operating Group Business shall be recorded
in the accounts of the Host Marriott Group as a payable from the Host Marriott
Group to the Services Group; (iv) any cash payments received by Services or
the Operating Group Subsidiaries relating to the Real Estate Group Business
shall be recorded in the accounts of the Services Group as a payable from the
Services Group to the Host Marriott Group; (v) Services and Host Marriott
shall make adjustments for late deposits, checks returned for not sufficient
funds and other post-Distribution Date transactions as shall be reasonable
under the circumstances consistent with the purpose and intent of this
Agreement and the Related Agreements; and (vi) the net balance due to the Host
Marriott Group or the Services Group, as the case may be, in respect of the
aggregate amounts of clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) shall be paid by
Services or Host Marriott, as appropriate, as promptly as practicable
following the date such net balance is determinable. For purposes of this
Section 2.07(b), the parties contemplate that the Real Estate Group Business
and the Operating Group Business,
23
<PAGE>
including, but not limited to, the respective parties' administration of
accounts payable and accounts receivable, will be conducted in the normal
course.

description of the use of such funds. Within 15 days following receipt of the
Capex Statement, Host Marriott shall pay to Services cash in the amount equal

minus the aggregate amount of Deferred Capex Expenditures paid to Services

ARTICLE IV.
OBLIGATIONS FOR HOST MARRIOTT WARRANTS
--------------------------------------
Section 4.01. Sharing of Warrant Obligations. In connection with
------------------------------
the settlement of litigation brought by certain prior holders and purchasers
of senior notes and debentures of Host Marriott, Host Marriott issued the
Warrants, of which approximately 7.3 million Warrants were outstanding and
unexercised as of the date of this Agreement. The Warrants contain provisions
requiring an adjustment, effective immediately following the Distribution
Record Date, to reflect the effects of the Distribution. Pursuant to this
adjustment, either (i) the exercise price of the Warrants must be reduced and
the number of shares of Host Marriott Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
the Warrants must be increased, in accordance with the formula specified in
Section 12(c) of the Warrant Agreement, or (ii) the Warrant holders must be
entitled to participate in the Distribution on a basis and with notice that
the Host Marriott Board determines to be fair and appropriate in light of the
basis and notice on which the holders of Host Marriott Common Stock
participate in the Distribution. In order to provide for the treatment of the
Warrants in the Distribution referenced in clause (ii) of the preceding
sentence, the Host Marriott Board has determined that, in connection with the
Distribution, Services will assume its proportionate share of the obligations
represented by the Warrants, as set forth below in this Article IV.
Section 4.02. Issuance of Services Common Stock Upon Exercise of
--------------------------------------------------
Warrants.
--------
(a) Following the Distribution Record Date, upon exercise of a
Warrant to purchase a share of Host Marriott Common Stock and payment of the
exercise price therefor, the holder of the Warrant will be entitled to
receive, in addition to the share of Host Marriott Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of the Warrant, one-fifth of a share of Services Common
26
<PAGE>
Stock. Upon receipt of a notice of exercise of Warrants, Host Marriott will
promptly provide notice thereof to Services or a transfer agent designated by
Services to receive such notice (which notice will contain the number of
shares of Services Common Stock issuable by Services in connection with such
exercise, the person in whose name such shares are to be issued and the
address for delivery of the share certificates issuable to such person); and
Services shall promptly thereafter (and in any event within 5 business days
after receipt of such notice) issue the shares of Services Common Stock as set
forth in such notice. Services and Host Marriott will, and will cause their
respective transfer agents to, work together in good faith to establish
procedures to ensure that such notices are received by Services, and such
shares are issued by Services, as promptly as practicable.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.02(a) above,
Services shall not be required to issue any fractional shares of Services
Common Stock upon exercise of any Warrant. If any fraction of a share of
Services Common Stock would, except for the provision of this Section 4.02(b),
be issuable on the exercise of any Warrants, Services shall pay to the
exercising Warrant holder (in lieu of issuance of such fractional share) an
amount in cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the Services Warrant
Exercise Amount, where the "Services Warrant Exercise Amount" equals the
Services Applicable Percentage (as defined below) multiplied by the exercise
price paid by the Warrant holder upon such exercise.
Section 4.03. Allocation of Exercise Price. Services shall be
-----------------------------
entitled to receive the Services Applicable Percentage (as defined below) of
the exercise price paid upon the exercise of any Warrants (which exercise
price currently is $8.00 per Warrant and will increase to $10.00 per Warrant
as of October 8, 1996) occurring on or after October 1, 1995. Such Services
Applicable Percentage shall be paid over to Services by Host Marriott as
promptly as
27
<PAGE>
practicable following Host Marriott's receipt of the exercise price for any
Warrants. The term "Services Applicable Percentage" shall mean the result of
the following calculation, expressed as a percentage: (i) one-fifth of the
Services Initial Trading Price (as defined below), divided by (ii) the sum of
------- --
(x) one-fifth of the Services Initial Trading Price plus (y) the Host Marriott
----
Initial Trading Price (defined below). The "Services Initial Trading Price"
shall mean the Sale Price of the Services Common Stock on the first full
Trading Day following the Distribution Date that Services Common Stock trades
"regular way"; and the "Host Marriott Initial Trading Price" shall mean the
Sale Price of the Host Marriott Common Stock on the first full Trading Day
following the Distribution Date that Host Marriott Common Stock trades "ex-
distribution" one-fifth share of Services. The term "Sale Price" as applied
to a share of Services Common Stock or Host Common Marriott Stock on any date
means the closing per share sale price of a share of Services Common Stock or
Host Marriott Common Stock, as applicable (or if no closing sale price is
reported, the average of the bid and ask prices or, if more than one in either
case, the average of the average bid and the average ask prices) on such date
as reported in composite transactions for the principal United States

effectiveness of such registration statement with respect to the Services
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Warrants for such periods as Services
determines are necessary and appropriate. Services will notify the Warrant
Agent at any time that the effectiveness of the registration statement with

ARTICLE V.
OBLIGATIONS FOR MI EMPLOYEE BENEFIT AWARDS
------------------------------------------
Section 5.01. Treatment of MI Employee Benefit Awards in the
----------------------------------------------
Distribution. Host Marriott has issued to persons who were formerly employed
------------
by Host Marriott and/or Subsidiaries of Host Marriott and who, in connection
with the MI Distribution, became employees of Marriott International and/or
its subsidiaries, (i) options to purchase Host Marriott Common Stock (the "MI
--
Employee Options") and (ii) deferred shares of Host Marriott Common Stock (the
----------------
"MI Deferred Stock"). In connection with the Distribution and pursuant to the
-----------------
Employee Benefits Allocation Agreement, Host Marriott will adjust (the
"Adjustment") the MI Employee Options such that the exercise price of the MI
Employee Options will be reduced and the number of shares of Host Marriott
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the MI Employee Options will be
increased in order to reflect the effects of the Distribution, and the MI
Deferred Stock such that the number of shares of MI Deferred Stock will be
increased in order to reflect the effects of the Distribution. In light of
these adjustments, and in order that Services may assume its proportionate
share of the obligations evidenced by the MI Employee Options and MI Deferred
Stock outstanding prior to the Distribution, Services has agreed to comply
with the provisions of this Article V.
30
<PAGE>
Section 5.02. Services Reimbursement Obligation.
---------------------------------
(a) Within 10 days after the end of each fiscal year following the
Distribution Date (commencing with fiscal year 1996), Host Marriott will
deliver to Services (i) a statement (the "Statement") showing the number of
---------
shares of MI Deferred Stock vested, and the number of MI Employee Options
exercised, during the preceding fiscal year (and, in the case of the Statement
for fiscal year 1996, during any portion of fiscal year 1995 following the
Distribution Record Date) and a calculation of the aggregate exercise price
paid upon exercise of such options (the shares of MI Deferred Stock vested
during the period covered by such Statement being referred to herein as
"Vested MI Deferred Stock," the MI Employee Options exercised during the
------------------------
period covered by such Statement being referred to herein as the "Exercised MI
------------
Options," and the aggregate exercise price for such Exercised MI Options being
-------
referred to herein as the "Annual Aggregate Exercise Price") and (ii) an
-------------------------------
amount in cash equal to the Services Allocable Exercise Price for such
Exercised MI Options, where the "Services Allocable Exercise Price" equals the
---------------------------------
Annual Aggregate Exercise Price for the period covered by a Statement
multiplied by the Services Applicable Percentage.
-------------
(b) Within 10 days following receipt of such Statement, Services
shall select one of the following alternatives (by making the appropriate
notifications and deliveries set forth in Section 5.02(c) below):
(i) Services shall issue to Host Marriott a number of shares of
Services Common Stock (the "Services MI Shares") equal to (x) one-
------------------
fifth of the aggregate number of shares of Host Marriott Common
Stock comprising Vested MI Deferred Stock and issued pursuant to the
Exercised MI Options multiplied by (y) the
-------------
31
<PAGE>
Pre-Adjustment Percentage. The "Pre-Adjustment Percentage" shall
-------------------------
mean the result of the following calculation expressed as a
percentage: (i) the aggregate number of shares of Host Marriott
Common Stock issuable under the MI Employee Options outstanding
immediately prior to the Adjustment (whether or not then vested)
divided by (ii) the aggregate number of shares of Host Marriott
------- --
Common Stock issuable under the MI Employee Options immediately
following the Adjustment.
OR
--
(ii) Services shall pay to Host Marriott, in cash, an amount
equal to the number of Services MI Shares multiplied by the Services
Year-End Stock Price. "Services Year-End Stock Price" shall mean
-----------------------------
the Sale Price of the Services Common Stock for the last Trading Day
of the fiscal year to which the Statement relates.
(c) In the event that Services elects the alternative set forth in
subparagraph (i) of Section 5.02(b) ("Alternative I"), Services shall so
-------------
notify Host Marriott and deliver to Host Marriott certificates for the shares
of Services Common Stock to be issued to Host Marriott pursuant to Alternative
I. In the event that Services elects the alternative set forth in
subparagraph (ii) of Section 5.02(b) ("Alternative II"), Services shall notify
--------------
Host Marriott and deliver to Host Marriott payment of the amount set forth in
subparagraph (ii) of Section 5.02(b).
Section 5.03. Disposition of Services Common Stock; Registration
--------------------------------------------------
Rights; Voting Agreement. The parties acknowledge that it is Host Marriott's
------------------------
intention to dispose of any shares
32
<PAGE>
of Services Common Stock received by it pursuant to Services' election of
Alternative I (as set forth in Section 5.02 above) as soon as practicable
following Host Marriott's receipt of such shares. The parties also
acknowledge and agree, however, that it would not be in the best interests of
either Host Marriott or Services for Host Marriott to dispose of such shares
in a manner that would adversely affect the market value of Services Common
Stock. Accordingly, the parties have agreed to the following provisions
governing Host Marriott's disposition of shares of Services Common Stock
received by it pursuant to this Article V:
(a) Services shall not elect Alternative I unless, at the time
such election is made, there is an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act and, if necessary, under any state "blue
sky" securities laws, covering, and any other necessary approvals
obtained in respect of, (i) the distribution by Services to Host
Marriott of the Services Common Stock to be issued to Host Marriott
pursuant to Alternative I and (ii) the subsequent resale by Host
Marriott of such shares. Services shall use its reasonable best
efforts to keep such approvals or registration statements effective
for the longer of (i) 120 days or (ii) the period required for Host
Marriott to dispose of such shares consistent with the requirements
of subparagraph (b) below.
(b) Host Marriott shall dispose of the shares of Services
Common Stock received by it as promptly as practicable, consistent
with the purpose and intent of this Section 5.03.
33
<PAGE>
(c) In the event that Host Marriott holds any shares of
Services Common Stock received by it under this Section 5.03 at a
time when a vote of the holders of Services Common Stock is required
as to any matter, Host Marriott will vote the shares of Services
Common Stock held by it in the same proportionate manner as all
other holders of Services Common Stock entitled to vote on such
matter, viewed as a whole (the "Other Services Stockholders"), it
---------------------------
being the intention of the parties that Host Marriott will not use
its ownership of Services Common Stock received under this Section
5.03 to affect the management or policies of Services. (For example,
if Host Marriott holds 1,000 shares of Services Common Stock
received under this Section 5.03, and if 57% of the Other Services
Stockholders vote in favor of a proposal submitted to the holders of
the Services Common Stock, Host Marriott will be deemed to have
voted 570 shares in favor of such proposal.)
ARTICLE VI.

conditions shall not create any obligation on the part of Host Marriott or any
other party hereto to effect the Distribution or in any way limit Host
Marriott's power of termination set forth in Section 11.07 or alter the
consequences of any such termination from those specified in such Section.
Section 6.03. The Distribution. On the Distribution Date, subject

to the conditions and rights of termination set forth in this Agreement, Host
Marriott shall deliver to the Agent a share certificate representing all of
the then outstanding shares of Services Common Stock owned by Host Marriott
and shall instruct the Agent to distribute, on or as soon as practicable
following the Distribution Date, such Services Common Stock to the Holders.
Services agrees to provide all share certificates that the Agent shall require
in order to effect the Distribution.

"Services Indemnifiable Loss") of the Services Indemnitees arising out of or
---------------------------
due to the failure or alleged failure of Host Marriott, any Real Estate Group
Subsidiary, or any of their Affiliates to (i) pay, perform or otherwise
discharge in due course any of the Real Estate Group Liabilities, or (ii)
comply with the provisions of Section 8.04. To the extent that counsel is

selected by Host Marriott and such counsel may include its in-house corporate
counsel.

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

and hold harmless Host Marriott and each of the Real Estate Group
Subsidiaries, and each of their directors, officers, employees, agents and

Group Liabilities and any and all losses, Liabilities, damages, including,
without limitation, the costs and expenses of any and all Actions, threatened
Actions, demands, assessments, judgments, settlements and compromises relating
thereto and attorneys' fees and any and all expenses whatsoever reasonably
incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any such Actions or

37
<PAGE>
(collectively, "Host Marriott Indemnifiable Losses" and, individually, a "Host
---------------------------------- ----
Marriott Indemnifiable Loss") of the Host Marriott Indemnitees arising out of
---------------------------
or due to the failure or alleged failure of Services, any Operating Group
Subsidiaries, or any of their Affiliates to (i) pay, perform or otherwise
discharge in due course any of the Operating Group Liabilities or (ii) comply
with the provisions of Section 8.04. The "Services Indemnifiable Losses" and
the "Host Marriott Indemnifiable Losses" are collectively referred to as the
"Indemnifiable Losses." To the extent that counsel is provided to Host
--------------------
Marriott under this Indemnification, such counsel shall be selected by
Services and such counsel may include its in-house corporate counsel.
Section 7.03. Insurance Proceeds. The amount which any party (an
------------------
"Indemnifying Party") is or may be required to pay to any other Person (an
------------------
"Indemnitee") pursuant to Section 7.01 or Section 7.02 shall be reduced
----------
(including, without limitation, retroactively) by any Insurance Proceeds or
other amounts actually recovered by or on behalf of such Indemnitee in
reduction of the related Indemnifiable Loss. If an Indemnitee shall have
received the payment required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party in
respect of an Indemnifiable Loss and shall subsequently actually receive
Insurance Proceeds, or other amounts in respect of such Indemnifiable Loss as
specified above, then such Indemnitee shall pay to such Indemnifying Party a
sum equal to the amount of such Insurance Proceeds or other amounts actually
received.
Section 7.04. Procedure for Indemnification.
-----------------------------
(a) Except as may be set forth in a Related Agreement, if an
Indemnitee shall receive notice or otherwise learn of the assertion by a
Person (including, without limitation, any governmental entity) who is not a
party to this Agreement or to any of the Related Agreements of any claim or of
the commencement by any such Person of any Action with respect to which
38
<PAGE>
an Indemnifying Party may be obligated to provide indemnification pursuant to
this Agreement (a "Third-Party Claim"), such Indemnitee shall give such
-----------------
Indemnifying Party written notice thereof promptly after becoming aware of
such Third-Party Claim; provided, that the failure of any Indemnitee to give
--------
notice as required by this Section 7.04 shall not relieve the Indemnifying
Party of its obligations under this Article VII, except to the extent that
such Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure to give notice. Such
notice shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, and shall
indicate the amount (estimated if necessary) of the Indemnifiable Loss that
has been or may be sustained by such Indemnitee.
(b) An Indemnifying Party may elect to defend or to seek to settle
or compromise, at such Indemnifying Party's own expense and by such
Indemnifying Party's own counsel, any Third-Party Claim, provided that the
Indemnifying Party must confirm in writing that it agrees that the Indemnitee
is entitled to indemnification hereunder in respect of such Third-Party Claim.
Within 30 days of the receipt of notice from an Indemnitee in accordance with
Section 7.04(a) (or sooner, if the nature of such Third-Party Claim so
requires), the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnitee of its election
whether to assume responsibility for such Third-Party Claim (provided that if
the Indemnifying Party does not so notify the Indemnitee of its election
within 30 days after receipt of such notice from the Indemnitee, the
Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have elected not to assume
responsibility for such Third-Party Claim), and such Indemnitee shall
cooperate in the defense or settlement or compromise of such Third-Party
Claim. After notice from an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnitee of its
election to assume responsibility for a Third-Party Claim, such Indemnifying
Party shall not be liable to such Indemnitee under this Article VII for any
legal or other expenses (except expenses approved in advance by the
Indemnifying Party) subsequently incurred by such Indemnitee in
39
<PAGE>
connection with the defense thereof; provided, that if the defendants in any
--------
such claim include both the Indemnifying Party and one or more Indemnitees and
in such Indemnitees' reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such
Indemnitees and such Indemnifying Party exists in respect of such claim, such
Indemnitees shall have the right to employ separate counsel and in that event
the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel (but not more than
one separate counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party) shall
be paid by such Indemnifying Party. If an Indemnifying Party elects not to
assume responsibility for a Third-Party Claim (which election may be made only
in the event of a good faith dispute that a claim was inappropriately tendered
under Section 7.01 or 7.02, as the case may be) such Indemnitee may defend or
(subject to the following sentence) seek to compromise or settle such Third-
Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnitee may not settle or
compromise any claim without prior written notice to the Indemnifying Party,
which shall have the option within ten days following the receipt of such
notice (i) to disapprove the settlement and assume all past and future
responsibility for the claim, including reimbursing the Indemnitee for prior
expenditures in connection with the claim, or (ii) to disapprove the
settlement and continue to refrain from participation in the defense of the
claim, in which event the Indemnifying Party shall have no further right to
contest the amount or reasonableness of the settlement if the Indemnitee
elects to proceed therewith, or (iii) to approve the amount of the settlement,
reserving the Indemnifying Party's right to contest the Indemnitee's right to
indemnity, or (iv) to approve and agree to pay the settlement. In the event
the Indemnifying Party makes no response to such written notice from the
Indemnitee, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have elected option
(ii).
(c) If an Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or to seek to
compromise any Third-Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall make available to such
Indemnifying Party any
40
<PAGE>
personnel and any books, records or other documents within its control or
which it otherwise has the ability to make available that are necessary or
appropriate for such defense.
(d) Any claim on account of an Indemnifiable Loss which does not
result from a Third-Party Claim shall be asserted by written notice given by
the Indemnitee to the applicable Indemnifying Party. Such Indemnifying Party
shall have a period of 15 days after the receipt of such notice within which
to respond thereto. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such
15-day period, such Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have refused to
accept responsibility to make payment. If such Indemnifying Party does not
respond within such 15-day period or rejects such claim in whole or in part,
such Indemnitee shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to
such party under applicable law or under this Agreement.
(e) In addition to any adjustments required pursuant to Section
7.03, if the amount of any Indemnifiable Loss shall, at any time subsequent to
the payment required by this Agreement, be reduced by recovery, settlement or
otherwise, the amount of such reduction, less any expenses incurred in
connection therewith, shall promptly be repaid by the Indemnitee to the
Indemnifying Party.
(f) In the event of payment by an Indemnifying Party to any
Indemnitee in connection with any Third-Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party
shall be subrogated to and shall stand in the place of such Indemnitee as to
any events or circumstances in respect of which such Indemnitee may have any
right or claim relating to such Third-Party Claim against any claimant or
plaintiff asserting such Third-Party Claim. Such Indemnitee shall cooperate
with such Indemnifying Party in a reasonable manner, and at the cost and
expense of such Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any subrogated right or
claim.
41
<PAGE>
Section 7.05. Remedies Cumulative. The remedies provided in this
-------------------
Article V shall be cumulative and shall not preclude assertion by any
Indemnitee of any other rights or the seeking of any and all other remedies
against any Indemnifying Party.
Section 7.06. Survival of Indemnities. The obligations of each of
-----------------------
Services and Host Marriott under this Article VII shall survive the sale or
other transfer by it of any assets or businesses or the assignment by it of
any Liabilities, with respect to any Indemnifiable Loss of the other related
to such assets, businesses or Liabilities.

any Services capital stock (other than stock issued pursuant to employee plans

each of cases (A), (B) and (C), in the opinion of counsel to Services, which

favorable supplemental ruling letter reasonably satisfactory to Host Marriott,
such act or omission would not adversely affect the tax consequences of the

Marriott, as set forth in any ruling issued by any taxing authority; and
Services has no present intention to take any such actions.
(b) Host Marriott. (i) Host Marriott shall, and shall cause each of

the Real Estate Group Subsidiaries to comply with each representation and
statement made, or to be made, to any taxing authority in connection with the

--------------------
Date, the Services Board may elect, in its sole discretion, to recommend that
Services adopt a shareholder rights
44

substantially similar to the Host Marriott Rights Plan and will provide for
the distribution of preferred share purchase rights ("Services Rights") with
---------------
respect to each share of Services Common Stock. The Services Rights will be
attached to the Services Common Stock and will not be exercisable, or
transferable apart from the Services Common Stock, unless and until certain
events occur. If certain events occur relating to the acquisition by an
acquiring person of Services Common Stock, or a merger or other combination of
Services with an acquiring person, the Services Rights will entitle holders

to continue the use of the Host Marriott Logo, it may request Services to
consent to an additional 12 months, such consent by Services not to be
unreasonably withheld.

legitimate business purposes of either party, including without limitation,
audit, accounting, claims (including claims for indemnification hereunder),
litigation and tax purposes, as well as for purposes of fulfilling disclosure
and reporting obligations and for performing this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby. The parties hereby agree that Services
shall also grant to Host Marriott reasonable access to the computer systems
maintained by Services after the Distribution that contain data and other
information reasonably related to the Real Estate Group Assets or the Real
Estate Group Business, for purposes of review and retrieval of such data
(including the generation of reports containing such data). Host Marriott
agrees to reimburse Services for the reasonable costs of the use of such
computer systems.

efforts to make available to the other, upon written request, its and its
Subsidiaries' officers, directors, employees and agents as witnesses to the
extent that such persons may reasonably be required in connection with any
Action.
Section 9.04. Reimbursement. Except to the extent otherwise
-------------
contemplated in any Related Agreement, a party providing Information or
witness services to the other party under this Article IX shall be entitled to
receive from the recipient, upon the presentation of invoices therefor,
payments of such amounts, relating to supplies, disbursements and other out-
of-pocket expenses (at cost) and direct and indirect expenses of employees who
are witnesses or otherwise furnish assistance (at cost), as may be reasonably
incurred in providing such Information or witness services.
Section 9.05. Retention of Records. Except as otherwise required
--------------------
by law or agreed to in a Related Agreement or otherwise in writing, each of
Services and Host Marriott may destroy or otherwise dispose of any of the
Information, which is material Information and is not contained in other

than 120 days prior written notice to the other, specifying in reasonable
detail the Information proposed to be destroyed or disposed of and (b) if a
recipient of such notice shall request in writing prior to the scheduled date
for such destruction or disposal that any of the Information proposed to be

arrange for the delivery of such of the Information as was requested at the
expense of the party requesting such Information.

furnished by the other or the other's representatives pursuant to this
Agreement (except to the extent that such Information has been (i) in the
public domain through no fault of such party or (ii) later lawfully acquired
from other sources by such party), and each party shall not release or
disclose such Information to any other person, except its auditors, attorneys,
financial advisors, rating agencies, bankers and other consultants and
advisors, unless compelled to disclose by judicial or administrative process
or, as reasonably advised by its counsel, by other requirements of law, or
unless such Information is reasonably required to be disclosed in connection
with (x) any litigation with any third-parties or litigation between the Host
Marriott Group and the Services Group, (y) any contractual agreement to which
the Host Marriott Group or the Services Group are currently parties, or (z) in
exercise of either party's rights hereunder.
Section 9.07. Privileged Matters. Services and Host Marriott
------------------
recognize that legal and other professional services that have been and will
be provided prior to the Distribution Date have been and will be rendered for
the benefit of both the Host Marriott Group and the Services Group and that
both the Host Marriott Group and the Services Group should be deemed to be the
client for the purposes of asserting all Privileges. To allocate the
interests of each party in the Privileged Information, the parties agree as
follows:
(a) Host Marriott shall be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the
assertion or waiver of all Privileges in connection with Privileged
Information which relates solely to the
49
<PAGE>
Real Estate Group, whether or not the Privileged Information is in the
possession of or under the control of Host Marriott or Services. Host
Marriott shall also be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or
waiver of all Privileges in connection with Privileged Information that
relates solely to the subject matter of any claims constituting Real Estate
Group Liabilities, now pending or which may be asserted in the future, in any
lawsuits or other proceedings initiated against or by Host Marriott, whether
or not the Privileged Information is in the possession of or under the control
of Host Marriott or Services.
(b) Services shall be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the
assertion or waiver of all Privileges in connection with Privileged
Information which relates solely to the Operating Group, whether or not the
Privileged Information is in the possession of or under the control of Host
Marriott or Services. Services shall also be entitled, in perpetuity, to
control the assertion or waiver of all Privileges in connection with
Privileged Information which relates solely to the subject matter of any
claims constituting Operating Group Liabilities, now pending or which may be
asserted in the future, in any lawsuits or other proceedings initiated against
or by Services, whether or not the Privileged Information is in the possession
of or under the control of Host Marriott or Services.
(c) Services and Host Marriott agree that they shall have a shared
Privilege, with equal right to assert or waive, subject to the restrictions in
this Section 9.07, with respect to all Privileges not allocated pursuant to
the terms of Sections 9.07(a) and (b). All Privileges relating to any claims,
proceedings, litigation, disputes, or other matters which involve both
Services and Host Marriott or in respect of which both Services and Host
Marriott retain any responsibility or liability under this Agreement, shall be
subject to a shared Privilege.
50
<PAGE>
(d) No party may waive any Privilege which could be asserted under
any applicable law, and in which the other party has a shared Privilege, with
out the consent of the other party, except to the extent reasonably required
in connection with any litigation with third-parties or as provided in
subsection (e) below. Consent shall be in writing, or shall be deemed to be
granted unless written objection is made within twenty (20) days after written
notice upon the other party requesting such consent.
(e) In the event of any litigation or dispute between a member of
the Host Marriott Group and a member of the Services Group, either party may
waive a Privilege in which the other party has a shared Privilege, without
obtaining the consent of the other party, provided that such waiver of a
shared Privilege shall be effective only as to the use of Information with
respect to the litigation or dispute between the Host Marriott Group and the
Services Group, and shall not operate as a waiver of the shared Privilege with
respect to third-parties.
(f) If a dispute arises between the parties regarding whether a
Privilege should be waived to protect or advance the interest of either party,
each party agrees that it shall negotiate in good faith, shall endeavor to
minimize any prejudice to the rights of the other party, and shall not
unreasonably withhold consent to any request for waiver by the other party.
Each party specifically agrees that it will not withhold consent to waiver for
any purpose except to protect its own legitimate interests.
(g) Upon receipt by any party of any subpoena, discovery or other
request which arguably calls for the production or disclosure of Information
subject to a shared Privilege or as to which the other party has the sole
right hereunder to assert a Privilege, or if any party obtains knowledge that
any of its current or former directors, officers, agents or employees have
51
<PAGE>
received any subpoena, discovery or other requests which arguably calls for
the production or disclosure of such Privileged Information, such party shall
promptly notify the other party of the existence of the request and shall
provide the other party a reasonable opportunity to review the Information and
to assert any rights it may have under this Section 7.07 or otherwise to
prevent the production or disclosure of such Privileged Information.
(h) The transfer of the Services Books and Records and the Host
Marriott Books and Records and other Information between Host Marriott and its
Subsidiaries and Services and its Subsidiaries is made in reliance on the
agreement of Services and Host Marriott, as set forth in Sections 9.06 and
9.07, to maintain the confidentiality of Privileged Information and to assert
and maintain all applicable Privileges. The access to information being
granted pursuant to Sections 9.01 and 9.02 hereof, the agreement to provide
witnesses and individuals pursuant to Section 9.03 hereof and the transfer of
Privileged Information between Host Marriott and its Subsidiaries and Services
and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver
of any Privilege that has been or may be asserted under this Agreement or
otherwise.

Section 8. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Warrant Shares
---------------------------------------------------------
Issuable.
- --------
The first two sentences of Section 12 of the Warrant Agreement shall
be deleted and the following text shall be inserted in its place:
"The Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares and
Services 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 only of application of this Section 12 to
events occurring with respect to the Company ("Company Events"), (a)
"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, and (b) "Exercise Price" means the "Company
Portion of the Exercise Price," which equals the product of the
Exercise Price and the Company Percentage. The "Company Percentage"
means the amount, expressed as a percentage, resulting from the
following calculation: (i) the Company Initial Trading Price (as
defined below), divided by (ii) the sum of (x) one fifth of the
------- --
Services Initial Trading Price (as defined below) plus (y) the Company
Initial Trading Price. The "Company Initial Trading Price" shall mean
the Sale Price of Company Common Stock on the first full Trading Day
following the date on which the Distribution was effected (the
"Distribution Date") that the Company Common Stock trades "ex-
distribution" one-fifth share of Services Common Stock. The "Services
Initial Trading Price" shall mean the Sale Price of the Services
Common Stock on the first full Trading Day following the Distribution
Date that the Services Common Stock trades "regular way." The term
"Sale Price" as applied to a share of Services Common Stock or Company
Common Stock on any date means the closing per share sale price of a
share of Services Common Stock or Company Common Stock, as applicable
(or, if no closing sale price is reported, the average of the bid and
asked prices or, if more than one in either case, the average of the
average bid and the asked prices) on such date as reported in
composite transaction for the principal United States securities
exchange on which the Services Common Stock or Company Common Stock
(as applicable) is traded or, if such stock is not listed on a United
States national or regional stock exchange, as reported by the
National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System.
The term "Trading Day" means each day on which the Securities Exchange
or Quotation System which is used to determine the Sale Price is open
for trading or quotation. No adjustment under this Section 12 shall
be made to the Services
5
<PAGE>
Portion of the Exercise Price (as defined below) or to the number of
Services Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of a Warrant in
connection with Company Events.
For purposes only of application of this Section 12 to
events occurring with respect to Services ("Services Events"), (a)
"the Company" means Services, (b) "Common Stock" means shares now or
hereafter authorized of any class of common stock of Services and any
other stock of Services, 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 and (c) "Exercise
Price" means the "Services Portion of the Exercise Price," which
equals the product of the Exercise Price and the Services Percentage.
The "Services Percentage" means the amount, expressed as a percentage,
resulting from subtracting the Company Percentage from one hundred
percent (100%). No adjustment under the Section 12 shall be made to
the Company Portion of the Exercise Price or to the number of Warrant
Shares issuable upon exercise of a Warrant in connection with Services
Events.
Successive adjustments may be made with respect to Company
Events specified in this Section 12, but such adjustments shall affect
only the number of and/or type of capital stock of the Company
issuable in consideration of the Company Portion of the Exercise
Price. Successive adjustments may be made with respect to Services
Events specified in this Section 12, but such adjustments shall affect
only the number and/or type of capital stock of Services issuable in
consideration of the Services Portion of the Exercise Price.
Notwithstanding such adjustments, each Warrant may be exercised only
upon payment of the applicable Exercise Price set forth in the Warrant
Certificate (i.e., $8 per Warrant if exercised on or before 5:00 p.m.
----
New York City time on October 8, 1996, and $10 per Warrant if
exercised thereafter); and upon exercise of a Warrant and payment of
such Exercise Price following consummation of the Distribution, the
holder shall be entitled to receive one share of Company Common Stock
(subject to adjustment under this Section 12 with respect to
subsequent Company Events) and one-fifth of one share of Services
Common Stock (subject to adjustment under this Section 12 with respect
to subsequent Services Events.)"
Section 9. Fractional Interests. (a) The last sentence of Section 13
--------------------
of the Warrant Agreement shall be deleted and the following text inserted in its
place:
"If any fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provision
this Section 13, be issuable upon 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 equal to (a) the Exercise Price on the date of the
Warrant is presented for exercise multiplied by (b) the Company
---------- --
Percentage (as defined in Section 12) multiplied by (c) such
---------- --
fraction."
6
<PAGE>
(b) A new Section 13A shall be added to the Warrant Agreement
immediately after Section 13 as follows:
"SECTION 13A. Fractional Interests -- Services Warrant Shares.
-----------------------------------------------
Services shall not be required to issue fractional Services 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 Services Warrant Shares which shall be issuable
upon the exercise thereof shall be computed on the basis of the
aggregate number of Services Warrant Shares issuable on exercise of
the Warrants so presented. If any fraction of a Services Warrant
Share would, except for the provision of this Section 13A, be issuable
on the exercise of any Warrants (or specified portion thereof),
Services shall pay to the exercising Warrant holder (in lieu of
issuance of such fractional Services Warrant Share) an amount in cash
equal to (a) the Exercise Price on the date the Warrant is presented
for exercise multiplied by (b) the Services Percentage (as defined in
---------- --
Section 12) multiplied by (c) such fraction."
---------- --
Section 10. Notices to Warrant Holders.
--------------------------
(a) The first sentence of Section 14 of the Warrant Agreement shall
be deleted and the following text inserted in its place:
"Upon the occurrence of a Company Event, 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 an Assistant
Treasurer, specifying the adjustment of the number of Warrant Shares
issuable upon exercise of a Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price
pursuant to Section 12 and setting forth in reasonable detail the
method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculations are
based, 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."
(b) A new Section 14A shall be added to the Warrant Agreement
immediately after Section 14 as follows:
"SECTION 14A. Notices to Warrant Holders By Services. Upon the
--------------------------------------
occurrence of a Services Event, Services shall promptly thereafter (i)

on January 5, 1996. Each share of Convertible Preferred Stock (at its face
value of $50,000 per share, representing $50 per Depositary Share) is
convertible at a conversion price of $2.61 per share of Common Stock (resulting
a conversion ratio of 19,157.088 shares of Common Stock per share of Convertible
Preferred Stock, representing 19.157088 shares of Common Stock per Depositary
Share) subject to adjustment as set forth below.
As you know, Host Marriott (i) intends to distribute (the "Distribution")
to the holders of its Common Stock, on a one-fifth share-for-one-share basis,
all of the shares of the common stock, no par value per share ("Services Common
Stock"), of Host Marriott Services Corporation ("Services"), (ii) has set
December 22, 1995 as the record date (the "Record Date") for determining the
identity of its common stockholders of record who will participate in the
Distribution and (iii) has set December 29, 1995, as the date (the Distribution
Date") on which (subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions discussed
below) the Distribution will be made. Holders who exercise their right to
convert their Depositary Shares into shares of Common Stock on or prior to the
Record Date will participate in the Distribution on the same basis as any other
holders of record of Common Stock on such date. Those who do not convert their
Depositary Shares into shares of Common Stock prior to the close of business on
the Record Date will be entitled to an adjustment in the price (the "Conversion
Price") at which their Depositary Shares will be
<PAGE>
convertible into Common Stock subsequent to the Record Date, but will not be
entitled to receive shares of Services Common Stock in the Distribution. The
adjusted conversion price for each share of Convertible Preferred Stock after
the Record Date will be $2.2185 per share (resulting in a conversion ratio of
22,537.75 shares of Common Stock per share of Convertible Preferred Stock,
representing 22.53775 shares of Common Stock per Depositary Share).
The Distribution is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions on or
before December 21, 1995. These conditions include, among other things, (i)
receipt of a favorable tax ruling from the Internal Revenue Service with respect
to the Distribution, (ii) the registration statement on Form 10 with respect to
the Services Common Stock having been declared effective under the Securities
and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and (iii) the registration statement on
Form 10 with respect to the Services Common Stock having been declared effective
under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and (iii) the receipt
of any necessary consents to the Distribution from third parties to certain
concession and other contracts, except for those the failure of which to obtain
would not have a material adverse effect on Services or the Company. If such
conditions are not satisfied or waived by the Board on or before December 21,
1995, the Board may elect to postpone the Distribution Date and to establish a
new Record Date for the Distribution, in which case the Distribution will remain
subject to fulfillment or waiver of such conditions and/or such other conditions
as the Board may impose in connection with the establishment of such new
Distribution Date and Record Date.

Convertible Preferred Stock, in addition to your existing appointments as

HOST MARRIOTT ISSUES SPECIAL DIVIDEND,
COMPLETING SPLIT INTO TWO COMPANIES
BETHESDA, MD, Jan. 2, 1996 -- Host Marriott Corporation announced today that on
December 29, 1995 it completed the special dividend, plans for which were first
announced in August 1995, dividing Host Marriott into two companies.
As a result of the special dividend, shareholders of record on December 22,
1995 are receiving one share of Host Marriott Services Corporation for every
five common shares they own in Host Marriott Corporation. Host Marriott
Corporation will continue to own hotels and real estate, while Host Marriott
Services Corporation will operate concessions at airports, on tollroads and at
sports and entertainment attractions.
"This split should have strategic and economic benefits for both companies,"
said Terence C. Golden, president and chief executive officer of Host Marriott
Corporation. "Each company now will be able to allocate its resources to help
realize its full potential, and investors will be able to make focused decisions
based on the specific attributes of each business."
Mr. Golden said that Host Marriott Corporation would continue its successful
strategy of acquiring full service hotels, which remain available at prices well
below replacement cost. "The full service segment still offers the best
opportunity for capital appreciation and return on investment. Through the third
quarter of 1995, the company's Earnings Before Interest Expense, Taxes,
Depreciation, Amortization and other non-cash items (EBITDA) from its hotels was
up 16% over last year," he said. "With little new full service hotel supply
coming on line, and our strategic alliance with Marriott International adding
considerable value to the properties we acquire, we see continued strong revenue
and cash flow growth."
Host Marriott Corporation currently owns 90 lodging properties operated
primarily under Marriott brand names. On a pro forma basis, if it had been a
separate company without the concessions businesses in 1994, it would have had
annual revenues of approximately $380 million and EBITDA of approximately $269
million.
Host Marriott Services Corporation will be the nation's leading operator and
developer of restaurant and retail outlets at airports, on tollroads and at
sports and entertainment attractions.
Host Marriott Services Corporation has operations at over 70 domestic and
international airports, on 13 tollroads (including over 90 travel plazas) and at
more than 35 tourist attractions, stadiums and arenas. On a historical basis, as
a separate company in 1994, Host Marriott Services Corporation would have had
annual revenues of approximately $1.1 billion and EBITDA of approximately $108
million. The company has $409 million of debt consisting primarily of $400
million of bonds due in 2005, issued in 1995.
"The prospects for Host Marriott Services Corporation as an independent
company are excellent," said William W. McCarten, president and chief executive
officer. Mr. McCarten had been president of the Host Marriott Operating Group
prior to the split.
"Our significant presence in nearly all of the largest airports and tollroads
in the United States gives us a strong platform for future growth. A total focus
on the business, together with the continued commitment of the Marriott family,
should further strengthen our new company's market position," Mr. McCarten said.
"Our leadership position, experience and expertise provide increasing access to
attractive opportunities, both domestically and abroad."

will remain chairman of the board of Host Marriott Corporation. William J. Shaw,
executive vice president of Marriott International, Inc. and president of the
Marriott Service Group, will serve as chairman of the board of Host Marriott
Services Corporation while retaining his positions at Marriott International.
Richard E. Marriott and J.W. Marriott, Jr., his brother and the chairman and
president of Marriott International, Inc., will serve as directors of both
companies.
Both Host Marriott Corporation and Host Marriott Services Corporation are
listed on the New York Stock Exchange. "Regular way" trading in the common stock
of Host Marriott Services Corporation (ticker symbol HMS) commenced today.
Latham & Watkins, James D. Wolfensohn Incorporated and American Appraisal
Associates acted as advisors to Host Marriott Corporation on the transaction.

TRANSITIONAL CORPORATE SERVICES AGREEMENT
-----------------------------------------
BETWEEN
--------
HOST MARRIOTT CORPORATION AND
-----------------------------
HOST MARRIOTT SERVICES CORPORATION
----------------------------------
Host Marriott Corporation ("Host Marriott") and Host Marriott Services
Corporation ("HM Services"), enter into this Agreement for the purpose of
providing certain transitional corporate services to each other in connection
with the distribution of all of the shares of common stock of HM Services to
shareholders of Host Marriott (the "HM Services Distribution"). Subject to final
approval of the Host Marriott Board of Directors, the HM Services Distribution
is expected to occur on or about December 29, 1995 or as soon thereafter as the
Host Marriott Board shall specify. To ensure an orderly separation of Host
Marriott into two separate and independent corporations, Host Marriott and HM
Services agree:
(1) Host Marriott and HM Services intend this Agreement to cover all
intercompany corporate services between them except legal and corporate
secretary services;
(2) It is intended, without limitation, that Host Marriott may provide
corporate accounting, corporate tax, cash management, and investor relations
services to HM Services, and that HM Services may provide human resources,
internal audit, and LAN/systems services to Host Marriott. This listing of
services that each company may provide to the other is not exhaustive of the
services that may be provided nor a guarantee that either company will in fact
request any or all of the services listed in this paragraph;
(3) If Host Marriott requests a corporate service of HM Services or HM
Services requests a service of Host Marriott, such services shall be provided
and the service provider company shall use good faith and its reasonable best
efforts to provide the service in a timely and competent manner. All services
provided under this Agreement shall be provided in accordance with the provider
company's standard policies, procedures and practices;
(4) If after receiving a request for a corporate service the requested
provider company cannot in good faith using reasonable best efforts provide the
service in a timely and competent manner, the provider company shall so inform
the requestor company which shall secure such service form another provider.
Host Marriott and HM Services do not expect such situations to arise and
recognize that such situations should be extraordinary
<PAGE>
occurrences. Nothing in this paragraph shall excuse Host Marriott or HM Services
from providing a mandatory service or duty under any other inter-company
agreement between them;
(5) The service provider company shall be paid the fees for service set
forth in Schedule 1 to this Agreement and shall be further reimbursed for
certain direct, non-overhead costs such as travel and legal fees, provided,
however that no travel or legal or other non-overhead costs shall be incurred
without prior consultation with the requesting company. For a period of ninety
(90) days after the HM Services Distribution, no fee for services and
non-overhead costs shall be charged by the provider company to the requesting
company, Payment for all services shall be made to the provider company within
45 days of receipt of invoice for payment, such invoice to include documentation
of any applicable direct, non-overhead costs not included in the hourly rate;
(6) It shall be presumed, without need for further or separate
documentation, that any request for a corporate service not otherwise the
subject of a separate intercompany agreement is governed by this Agreement;
(7) This Agreement shall terminate 180 days after the HM Services
Distribution unless the parties mutually agree to extend the Agreement for an
additional 180 days. The Agreement shall also terminate in the event of a
material default by either party or a change in control of either party;
(8) The parties agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the other
and its agents, employees, directors, and shareholders from any claims or
actions of whatever nature may arise in connection with Host Marriott providing
services under this Agreement to HM Services and HM Services providing services
under the Agreement to Host Marriott. Neither company shall become a fiduciary
to the other by providing services under this Agreement;
(9) This Agreement shall be governed by the law of the State of Maryland
without regard to conflict or choice of law rules which might make the law of
another jurisdiction apply. The parties expressly select Maryland law to apply;
(10) This Agreement represents the full and complete Agreement of the
parties and cannot be modified except in writing. Any legal notices shall be
sent to the General Counsel of the company to be placed on notice.

acceptable to the HMC administrator or Trustee representing the account
balances of all Retained Individuals, and HMC shall credit the accounts of such
individuals under the Host Marriott Corporation (HMC) Retirement Plan with said
amounts. Each such transfer shall comply with Section 414(l) of the Code and
the requirements of ERISA and the regulations promulgated thereunder. HMC shall
cause the trustees or other funding agent of the Plan to accept the plan-to-
plan transfer from the Host Marriott Services Profit Sharing Plan trustees, and
to credit the accounts of such Retained Individuals under the Host Marriott
Corporation (HMC) Retirement Plan with amounts transferred on their behalf.

as soon as practicable after the Distribution Date (with the cooperation of
Host Marriott Services to the extent that relevant information is in the

qualification requirements under Section 401(a) and 401(k) of the Code, and the
transfers described in Section 2.02(f) shall take place as soon as practicable.
Such transfers may take place pending issuance of favorable determination
letters, upon receipt of an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to both
Host Marriott and Host Marriott Services that the aforesaid Plans so qualify,

will not adversely affect the qualified status of either Plan or decrease the
accrued benefits of any participant.

2.05 Stock Plans.
(a) Host Marriott Comprehensive Stock Incentive Plan. HMC shall continue
the 1993 HMC Comprehensive Stock Incentive Plan. All awards under the 1993 HMC
Comprehensive Stock Incentive Plan will continue to be denominated in HMC
Common Stock. HMC shall continue to reserve those shares already reserved under
the 1993 HMC Comprehensive Stock Plan, including those awards held by certain
Marriott International Employees which are denominated in shares of HMC Common
Stock and were granted prior to or in connection with the Marriott
International Distribution. Additionally, HMC, after the Distribution, will
cause to be reserved any additional shares identified for reservation
thereunder to the extent authorized by the shareholders. In addition, HMC shall

Comprehensive Stock Incentive Plan, any Conversion Awards denominated in HMC
Common Stock after the Distribution as described in Section 2.05(c).
(b) Host Marriott Services Comprehensive Stock Plan. As soon as practicable
after the date hereof and effective as of the Distribution Date, Host Marriott
Services shall take, or cause to be taken, all action necessary and appropriate
to ratify the adoption of the Host Marriott Services Comprehensive Stock Plan,
and to provide Conversion Awards of Host Marriott Services Common Stock or Host
Marriott Services Stock Options for all Host Marriott Services Individuals, in
accordance with Section 2.05(c). All awards under the Host Marriott Services
Comprehensive Stock Plan will be denominated in Host Marriott Services Common
Stock. Host Marriott Services will reserve as shares under the Host Marriott
Services Comprehensive Stock Plan, 6.5 million shares of Host Marriott Services
Common Stock identified for reservation thereunder, to the extent authorized by
HMC, its sole shareholder, prior to the Distribution Date. Any such shares not
used to adjust outstanding awards pursuant to Section 2.05(c) will be available
for future awards to Host Marriott Services Individuals. Host Marriott Services
shall assume all obligations with respect to, and shall administer any
Conversion Award denominated in Host Marriott Services Common Stock under the
Host Marriott Services Comprehensive Stock Plan under the terms governing such
awards.
(c) Effect of the Distribution on Awards Made Prior to the Cut-off Date.
(i) Restricted Stock: After the Distribution Date, the grantee of each
restricted share of HMC Common Stock awarded under the HMC Comprehensive Stock
Incentive Plan as of the Cut-off Date shall retain such share, and shall
receive as part of the Distribution one restricted share of Host Marriott
Services Common Stock for each five restricted shares of HMC Common Stock
awarded under the HMC Comprehensive Stock Plan as of the Distribution Date. For
the Retained Employees and HMC Terminees and Marriott International Employees,
the
17
<PAGE>
restricted shares of Host Marriott Services Common Stock will be subject to
restrictions identical to those applicable to the underlying restricted shares
of HMC Common Stock. For Host Marriott Services Employees and Host Marriott
Services Terminees, all restrictions will be replaced with restrictions for the
benefit of Host Marriott Services. Restricted shares of Host Marriott Services
Common Stock awarded as part of the Distribution shall be released from
restrictions at the same time and on the same schedule as the shares of HMC
Common Stock retained, under the terms of the restrictions to which the
grantee's award under the 1993 HMC Comprehensive Stock Incentive Plan were
subject, except that: (1) release of such restricted shares shall be contingent
upon a finding by the President (or other equivalent or higher officer) of HMC
that a grantee who is a Retained Employee has satisfied conditions for such
release; (2) release of such shares shall be contingent upon a finding by the
President (or other equivalent or higher officer) of Host Marriott Services
that a grantee who is a Host Marriott Services Employee has satisfied
conditions for such release; or (3) release of such restricted shares shall be
contingent upon a finding by the President (or other equivalent or higher
officer) of Marriott International that a grantee who is a Marriott
International Employee has satisfied conditions for such release.
After the Distribution, with respect to Host Marriott Services Employees and
only upon obtaining the consent of such Host Marriott Services Employees,
outstanding awards of restricted shares of non-Employer Common Stock will be
redenominated into restricted shares of Employer Common Stock as follows: (1)
restricted shares of Host Marriott Services Common Stock will be converted to a
number of restricted shares of HMC Common Stock equal to the market value, on
the Restricted Stock Measurement Date, of the restricted shares of Host
Marriott Services Common Stock exchanged therefor; and (2) restricted shares of
HMC Common Stock will be converted to a number of restricted shares of Host
Marriott Services Common Stock equal to 115% of the market value, on the
Restricted Stock Measurement Date, of the restricted shares of HMC Common Stock
exchanged therefor. Such exchange of HMC restricted shares for Host Marriott
Services restricted shares at 115% of market is subject to opinion of counsel
that the exchange is in compliance with all applicable laws and does not result
in adverse tax consequences to HMC or Host Marriott Services.
(ii) Deferred Stock: HMC Retained Employees and Host Marriott Services
Employees with Deferred Stock Bonus Award balances denominated in HMC stock
shall have their accounts adjusted to reflect shares of both companies as
follows--one additional share of Host Marriott Services will be reserved for
every five shares of HMC.
Any Marriott International Employee that is a grantee of an award of
deferred stock denominated in shares of HMC Common Stock granted prior to or in
connection with the Marriott International Distribution will have the number of
HMC shares reserved for such grantees on the Cut-off Date multiplied by the HMC
Closing Stock Price to determine the Aggregate Value. The Aggregate Value shall
then be divided by the Post-Conversion Stock Price for HMC Common Stock to
determine the adjusted number of whole shares of HMC Common Stock reserved for
the grantee as of the Distribution Date.
18
<PAGE>
(iii) Substitution of Stock Options: On the Distribution Date, each
Retained Employee or Host Marriott Services Employee that is a grantee of a
Nonqualified Award of an Existing HMC Stock Option shall receive for each such
award, in substitution therefor, a Conversion Award, consisting of two
separately exercisable nonqualified options: one to purchase a number of shares
of HMC Common Stock equal to the number of shares covered by the Existing HMC
Stock Option (the "New HMC Nonqualified Stock Option"), and one to purchase a
number of shares of Host Marriott Services Common Stock equal to one-fifth of
the number of shares covered by the Existing HMC Stock Option (the "Host
Marriott Services Nonqualified Stock Option").
Each Marriott International Employee that is a grantee of a Nonqualified
Award of an Existing HMC Stock Option granted prior to or in connection with
the Marriott International Distribution will not receive a similar Conversion
Award. Such nonqualified options will remain an option to acquire only shares
of HMC Common Stock, except that the exercise price of, and the number of
shares underlying, such option shall be adjusted pursuant to 2.05(c)(iv) and
(v) below to maintain the Aggregate Spread with respect to such Existing HMC
Stock Options held by Marriott International Employees.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the HMC Board of Directors reserves the right
prior to the issuance of any Conversion Awards and effective as of the
Distribution Date, to adopt resolutions modifying the terms and conditions
under which any Conversion Awards of nonqualified options shall be granted.
Modifications may include, without limitation, shortening the term within which
options to purchase shares that are not Employer Common Stock may be exercised,
and providing for Conversion Awards of such nonqualified options to be issued
solely as options to acquire shares of Employer Common Stock.
(iv) Adjustment of Option Price: For purposes of determining the adjusted
option price of a Conversion Award of a New HMC Nonqualified Stock Option and a
Host Marriott Services Nonqualified Stock Option, the following formula shall
be used to maintain the grantee's Aggregate Spread on each outstanding grant of
a Nonqualified Award of an Existing HMC Stock Option. The Aggregate Spread on
each such outstanding grant shall be maintained by setting the option prices
for the New HMC Nonqualified Stock Options and the Host Marriott Services
Nonqualified Stock Options to ensure that the difference between (1) the Post
Conversion Stock Price of the HMC Common Stock granted in the Conversion Award
multiplied by the number of shares of HMC Common Stock underlying the options
granted in the Conversion Award plus the Post Conversion Stock Price of the
Host Marriott Services Common Stock multiplied by the number of shares of Host
Marriott Services Common Stock underlying the options granted in the Conversion
Award and (2) the per Share exercise price of the New HMC Nonqualified Stock
Option multiplied by the number of shares of HMC Common Stock underlying the
options granted in the Conversion Award plus the per share exercise price of
the Host Marriott Services Nonqualified Stock Option multiplied by the number
of shares of Host Marriott Services Common Stock underlying the options granted
in the Conversion Award exercise is equal to (3) the Aggregate Spread.
19
<PAGE>
In addition, the adjusted price under each option to acquire Host Marriott
Common Stock or Host Marriott Services Common Stock granted in a Conversion
Award shall be set so that the ratio of (1) the adjusted option exercise price
for the New HMC Nonqualified Stock Option and Host Marriott Services
Nonqualified Stock Option, respectively, to (2) the Post-Conversion Stock Price
of the Common Stock purchasable under the Conversion Award (Host Marriott
Common Stock or Host Marriott Services Common Stock, respectively) shall equal
(3) the ratio of the exercise price of each Existing HMC Stock Option being
converted to the HMC Closing Stock Price.
For purposes of maintaining the Aggregate Spread of Existing HMC Stock
Options held by Marriott International Employees, the adjusted option price for
such Existing HMC Stock Options shall be set to ensure that the difference
between (1) the Post-Conversion Stock Price of the HMC Common Stock multiplied
by the number of shares underlying each such Existing HMC Stock Option, and,
(2) the adjusted per share option exercise price for each such Existing HMC
Stock Option multiplied by the number of shares underlying, is equal to (3) the
Aggregate Spread.
(v) Adjustment of Number of Shares Covered by Options: With respect to
Conversion Awards replacing Existing HMC Stock Options and with respect to
Existing HMC Stock Options held by Marriott International Employees, additional
adjustments may be made to the extent the adjustments in Section 2.05(c)(iv)
are not sufficient to maintain the Aggregate Spread and ratio described in
Section 2.05(c)(iv) or to the extent it is determined that additional
adjustments are desirable. In the case of Conversion Awards of a New HMC
Nonqualified Stock Option and a Host Marriott Services Nonqualified Stock
Option, the number of shares of HMC Common Stock and Host Marriott Services
Common Stock purchasable shall be adjusted as necessary to maintain the
Aggregate Spread and ratio described in Section 2.05(c)(iii).
(vi) Limitation on Adjustments: To the extent that any adjustment or
limitation of this section 2.05(c) is inconsistent with the 1993 HMC
Comprehensive Stock Plan, the Host Marriott Services Comprehensive Stock Plan
or the intended tax or accounting treatment of the Distribution or any option,
it shall not apply, and Host Marriott Corporation and Host Marriott Services
Corporation shall mutually agree on an alternative adjustment.
2.06 Stock Purchase Plan.
The 1995 Plan Year for the Host Marriott Corporation Stock Purchase Plan
shall end on December 15, 1995 or such other date as the Plan Administrator
shall specify, and shares of HMC common stock shall be purchased for all
eligible Plan participants so as to allow Plan participants to participate in
the Distribution of the shares of Host Marriott Services. The 1996 Plan Year
for the 1996 HM Corporate Stock Purchase Plan shall begin on February 1, 1996,

for the associated liabilities and accrued obligations of and relating to all
Retained Employees and their eligible dependents who will be offered
participation in a Host Marriott Corporation (HMC) medical/dental plan or plans
on terms and conditions deemed appropriate by HMC. Retained Employees shall
have no preexisting condition limitation imposed other than that which is or
was imposed under their existing plan or plans, and they will be credited with
any expenses incurred toward deductibles, out-of-pocket expenses, maximum
benefit payments, and any benefit usage toward plan limits which would have
been applicable to the plan in which they were enrolled prior to the
Distribution.
Host Marriott Services shall sponsor and continue the existing HMC
medical/dental plans and be responsible for providing medical/dental coverage,
including appropriate stop-loss insurance, and assuming responsibility for the
associated liabilities and accrued obligations of these plans relating to Host
Marriott Services Employees and Host Marriott Services Individuals, and
Retained Individuals. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.07, Retained
Individuals shall also include any Employee of HMC and their Qualified
Beneficiaries, who are deemed employees of HMC as of the result of the terms of
any management contract between HMC and Host Marriott Services. HMC must
reimburse Host Marriott Services for any incurred obligations relating to such
covered Retained Individuals after the Distribution Date. Host Marriott
Services Employees, Host Marriott Services Individuals and Retained Individuals
shall have no pre-existing condition limitation imposed other than that which
is or was imposed under the existing plan or plans, and they will be credited
with any expenses incurred toward deductibles, out-of-pocket expenses, maximum
benefit payments, and any benefit usage toward plan limits which would have
been applicable to the plan in which they were enrolled prior to the
Distribution. The medical/dental plans to be sponsored and continued by Host
Marriott Services are listed on Schedule MD attached to and incorporated into
this Agreement.
(b) Continuation Coverage Administration. As of the Distribution Date, Host
Marriott Services or a Host Marriott Services Subsidiary shall assume or retain
and shall be solely responsible for, or cause its insurance carriers or HMOs to
be responsible for, the administration of the continuation coverage
requirements imposed by Code Section 4980B and ERISA Sections 601 through 608
as they relate to any current Qualified Beneficiary or any Host Marriott
Services Qualified Beneficiary. As of the Distribution Date, Host Marriott
Services or a Host Marriott Services Subsidiary shall assume or retain and

responsible for, all liabilities and obligations in connection with coverage to

any HMC Medical/Dental Plan or any HMC Medical/Dental Plan in respect of any
current Qualified Beneficiary or any Host Marriott Services Qualified

2.08 Vacation and Sick Pay Liabilities.
(a) Division of Liabilities. Effective on the Distribution Date, Host
Marriott Services shall assume, as to the Host Marriott Services Employees, and
HMC shall retain, as to the Retained Employees, all accrued liabilities
(whether vested or unvested, and whether funded or unfunded) for vacation and
sick leave in respect of employees of HMC as of the Cut-off Date. Host Marriott
Services shall be solely responsible for the payment of such vacation or sick
leave to Host Marriott Services Employees after the Cut-off Date, and HMC shall
be solely responsible for the payment of such vacation or sick leave to
Retained Employees after the Cut-off Date. Each party shall provide to its own
Employees on the Distribution Date the same vested and unvested balances of
vacation and sick leave as credited to such Employee on the HMC payroll system
on the Cut-off Date. The preceding sentence shall not be construed as in any
way limiting the right of either Host Marriott Services or HMC to change its
vacation or sick leave policies as it deems appropriate.
(b) Funded Reserves. Assets attributable to funded reserves for the
vacation or sick leave liabilities being divided in accordance with Section
2.09(a) (whether held in a trust, a voluntary employees beneficiary
association, or any other funding vehicle) shall be allocated in an appropriate
and equitable manner between HMC and Host Marriott Services.
2.09 Preservation of Right To Amend or Terminate Plans. Except as
otherwise expressly provided in Article II, no provisions of this Agreement,
including, without limitation, the agreement of HMC or Host Marriott Services,
or any Retained Subsidiary or Host Marriott Services Subsidiary, to make a
contribution or payment to or under any Plan herein referred to for any period,
shall be construed as a limitation on the right of HMC or Host Marriott
Services or any Retained Subsidiary or Host Marriott Services Subsidiary to
amend such Plan or terminate its participation therein which HMC or Host
Marriott Services or any Retained Subsidiary or Host Marriott Services
Subsidiary would otherwise have under the terms of such Plan or otherwise. No
provision of this Agreement shall be construed to create a right in any
employee or former employee, or dependent or beneficiary of such employee or
former employee, under a Plan which such person would not otherwise have under
the terms of the Plan itself.
2.10 Notice: HMC and Host Marriott Services acknowledge that HMC and the
Retained Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Host Marriott Services and the Host
Marriott Services Subsidiaries, on the other hand, may incur costs and
expenses, including, but not limited to, contributions to Plans and the payment
of insurance premiums arising from or related to any of the Plans which are, as
set forth in the Agreement, the responsibility of the other party hereto.
Accordingly, HMC (and any Retained Subsidiary responsible therefor) and Host
Marriott Services (and any Host Marriott Services Subsidiary responsible
therefor) shall give notice to the other party of the costs to be incurred
prior to payment and demand that the other party which has the obligation to
pay shall pay the cost and expense.

Host Marriott Services Business, and each Retained Individual or Host Marriott
Services Individual associated with such business unit or business operation
shall be assigned for payroll reporting purposes to HMC or Host Marriott

Advance Payment Certificate). Under this procedure HMC shall provide to Host
Marriott Services as the successor employer all IRS Forms W-4 and W-5 on file
with respect to each Host Marriott Services Individual, and Host Marriott
Services will honor these forms until such time, if any, that such Host
Marriott Services Individual submits a revised form.
(c) Garnishments, Tax Levies, Child Support Orders, Qualified Medical Child
Support Orders, and Wage Assignments. With respect to Employees with
garnishments, tax levies, child support orders, qualified medical child support
orders, and wage assignments in effect with HMC on the Cut-off Date, Host

or governmental orders applicable to HMC Plans and will continue to make
payroll deductions and payments to any authorized payee, as specified by the

23
<PAGE>
authorizations relating to each Host Marriott Services Individual, and shall
not require that such Host Marriott Services Individual submit a new

Services does not differ from that made by HMC. Such deduction types include,
without limitation, contributions to any Plan, U.S. Savings Bonds, and United
Giver's Fund; scheduled loan repayments to the Profit Sharing Plan or to an
employee credit union; and Direct Deposit of Payroll, bonus advances, union
dues, employee relocation loans, and other types of authorized company

Employees and Retained Employees on such date. The percentage of the liability
assumed by HMC shall equal the ratio of (i) the total number of HMC Employees

purposes, (i) the Services Members shall be included in the consolidated federal
Tax Return of the Pre-Spin-off Group for the Taxable Year that ends at the close

Returns shall be filed consistently with this position.
(d) Straddle Period Taxes.
(i) For purposes of this Agreement, Taxes shall be allocated
between the Pre- and Post-Closing Straddle Periods, in Host Marriott's
reasonable judgment with the consent of the appropriate Services' personnel,
which shall not be unreasonably withheld, in the following manner: (A) to the
extent not impractical, Taxes shall be allocated on the basis of the actual
taxable income for each such period, determined by closing the books of the Pre-
Spin-off Group at the close of business on the Closing Date; and (B) to the
extent that such an allocation based on a closing of the books is impractical,
Host Marriott shall be authorized to allocate Taxes based on rounding to the
next nearest accounting period-end.
(ii) Host Marriott shall pay to Services within fourteen
(14) days after receipt of an executed Straddle Period Tax Return prepared by
Services pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii)(B), the excess of any amount so allocated
(based on the amount of Tax shown on such Tax Return) to the Pre-Closing

or Services shall pay to Host Marriott within fourteen (14) days after the
filing of such Tax Return the excess of the amount of any estimated Taxes
previously paid by any Pre-Spin-off Member to the relevant Taxing Authority
prior to the Closing Date over the amount so allocated to such Period.

shown to be due and payable on all Tax Returns filed by (A) Host Marriott
pursuant to Section 2(a)(i) hereof and (B) Services pursuant to Section

thereafter become due and payable with respect to all Tax Returns filed pursuant
to Sections 2(a)(i) and 2(a)(ii)(A) as a result of a Final Determination;

to the Caterair Transaction and (ii) federal Taxes for all Taxable Years ending
on or prior to December 28, 1990). Services shall pay all Taxes attributable to

Closing Taxable Periods filed by Host Marriott may be amended without Host
Marriott's and Services' consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld .

provided, however, that Host Marriott shall reimburse Services for the amount of
any Tax Benefit attributable to any Services Member for all Pre-Closing Taxable
Periods which arises as a result of a Final Determination. Services shall be
entitled to any refund with respect to all Tax Returns filed by Services
pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii)(B). Any such refunds attributable to a Straddle
Period shall be allocated between the Pre-Closing Straddle Period and Post-
Closing Straddle Period on a basis consistent with the method used to allocate
the Tax liability for such Straddle Period. With respect to Straddle Period Tax
Returns prepared by Services pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii)(B), Host Marriott
shall be entitled to any refund attributable to a Pre-Closing Straddle Period.
(ii) If Host Marriott or any Host Marriott Member receives a
Tax refund or Tax Benefit to which Services or any Services Member is entitled
pursuant to this Agreement, Host Marriott shall pay (in accordance with Section
4) the amount of such Tax refund or Tax Benefit to Services [within fourteen
(14) days of] receipt thereof.

Services or any Services Member receives a Tax refund or Tax Benefit to which
Host Marriott or any Host Marriott Member is entitled pursuant to this

provisions, covenants and restrictions hereof without including any of such
which may hereafter be declared invalid, void or unenforceable. In the event
that any such term, provision, covenant or restriction is hereafter held to be
invalid, void or unenforceable, the parties hereto agree to use their best
efforts to find and employ an alternate means to achieve the same or
substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision,
covenant or restriction.
(e) Indulgences, etc. Neither the failure nor any delay on the
part of any party hereto to exercise any right under this Agreement shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
right preclude any other or further exercise of the same or any other right, nor
shall any waiver of any right with respect to any occurrence be construed as a
waiver of such right with respect to any other occurrence.
(f) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Maryland without
regard to the conflict of law principles thereof, except with respect to matters
of law concerning the internal corporate affairs of any corporate entity which

this Agreement may not be assigned without the prior written consent of the

inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and
permitted assigns, and shall survive any acquisition, disposition or other
corporate restructuring or transaction involving either party.
(j) No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is solely for the
benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their respective Affiliates and
should not be deemed to confer upon third parties any remedy, claim, liability,
reimbursement, claim of action or other right in excess of those existing
without this Agreement.
(k) Other. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each such counterpart being deemed to be an original instrument,
and all of such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same
instrument. The section numbers and captions herein are for convenience of
reference only, do not constitute part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed
to limit or otherwise affect any of the provisions hereof.
(l) Predecessors and Successors. To the extent necessary to give
effect to the purposes of this Agreement, any reference to any corporation,
Affiliated Group or member of an Affiliated Group shall also include any
predecessors or successors thereto, by operation of law or otherwise.

In connection with the October 8, 1993 special dividend of all of the

other things, HM and its subsidiaries obtain certain corporate services.
HM now intends to consolidate its Host/Travel Plazas business under Host
Marriott Services Corporation ("HMSC"), and distribute all of HMSC's outstanding
common stock to HM's shareholders (the "HMSC Distribution"). In connection with
the HMSC Distribution, HM intends to assign the Corporate Services Agreement to
HMSC, as permitted under the Corporate Services Agreement, and has asked MI to
agree to provide certain but not all of the services described in the Corporate
Services Agreement to HM. MI and HM intend to enter into a separate corporate
services agreement for those certain services which agreement will be
substantially similar to the relevant terms and conditions of the Corporate
Services Agreement.
MI hereby agrees to provide the following services for the benefit of HM:
. headquarters telephones and access to the Marriott Computing and Network
Center under the pricing structure identified in the Corporate Services
Agreement.

Re: Host Marriott Services Corporation Spin-Off: Termination of Consulting
Agreement, Reimbursement of A&C Severance Costs, and Early Termination
right under HMSC Sublease
Ladies and Gentlemen:
In connection with the October 8, 1993 special dividend (the ''Special
Dividend'') of all of the outstanding common stock of Marriott International,
Inc. (''MI'') to the shareholders of Marriott Corporation, MI and its
subsidiaries entered into a Distribution Agreement (the ''Distribution
Agreement'') and certain other agreements (collectively, the ''Host Marriott
Agreements'') with Host Marriott Corporation (formerly known as Marriott
Corporation, ''HM'') and its subsidiaries, pursuant to which, among other
things, HM and its subsidiaries (i) obtain a wide range of services (the
''Intercompany Services'') from MI, (ii) have certain limited rights to use the
''Marriott'' name, and (iii) sublease space in MI's corporate headquarters
building. Also in connection with the Special Dividend, each existing Marriott
Corporation nonqualified employee stock option was on October 8, 1993 split into
(i) an option to purchase an equal number of shares of the common stock of HM
(collectively, the ''Host Split Options'') and (ii) an option to purchase an
equal number of shares of the common stock of MI.
HM now intends to consolidate its Host/Travel Plazas business under Host
Marriott Services Corporation (''HMSC'') and HMSC's subsidiaries (collectively
with HMSC, ''Services''), and distribute all of HMSC's outstanding common stock
to HM's shareholders (the ''HMSC Distribution''). In connection with the HMSC
Distribution, (i) HM and its remaining subsidiaries (collectively with HM,
''Host Marriott'') and Services have asked MI to agree to certain modifications
to the Host Marriott Agreements and to enter into certain agreements with
Services in order to facilitate the HMSC Distribution, and (ii) HM has decided,
in response to, among other things, a request by MI, to re-denominate the Host
Split Options which are held by employees of MI and its subsidiaries so that,
after the HMSC Distribution, those options will remain exercisable only for HM
common stock, rather than further splitting those Host Split Options between HM
and HMSC. In response to that re-denomination and in consideration of, among
other things, this Letter Agreement, MI is entering into certain agreements with
HMSC which are substantially similar to the Host Marriott Agreements and is
making certain modifications to the Host Marriott Agreements to, among other
things, (i) provide for the continued provision of certain Intercompany Services
to Host Marriott and/or Services, (ii) acknowledge that certain Intercompany
Services which pertain primarily to the businesses of Services will no longer be
required by Host Marriott, and vice versa, (iii) terminate MI's right of first
offer for the Host/Travel Plazas business under the Distribution Agreement, and
(iv) grant HMSC, pursuant to a license agreement with MI, certain limited rights
to use the name ''Marriott.''

In consideration of the foregoing, HM and HMSC hereby agree with MI as follows:
(i) HMSC will promptly (and in any event within 30 days of receipt of an invoice
from MI) reimburse MI and its subsidiaries for up to $600,000 in A&C employee
severance costs that MI and its subsidiaries may incur (to the extent actually
incurred) in connection with the termination of certain architecture and
construction services presently provided to the Host/Travel Plaza's business;
(ii) HMSC shall be entitled to early termination under its Sublease Agreement
with MI dated as of August 16, 1995, upon (a) not less than nine months prior
written notice of the date of termination, which termination date may not be
earlier than December 31, 1996, (b) payment of a $750,000 early termination fee
at the time of such notice, and (c) satisfaction of all of HMSC's other
obligations thereunder on the termination date (including payment of all
amounts, other than rents for periods beyond the termination date and associated
costs, that may then be due MI thereunder and surrender of the premises in
accordance with the provisions of section 15 thereof); and (iii) in
consideration of MI's prompt receipt of $113,710 (representing accrued by unpaid
fees from October 8, 1995 through the date hereof) under that certain Consulting
Agreement dated as of October 8, 1993 among MI and HM pertaining to the
Host/Travel Plazas business and Consulting Agreement is hereby terminated and MI
hereby releases HM from any further payment obligations thereunder.
By executing this letter agreement in the space provided below, HM and HMSC each
acknowledge their acceptance of and agreement to the foregoing. This letter
agreement will be automatically canceled and its provisions will be of no
further force or effect if it is not fully executed by both HM and HMSC by
December 29, 1995.
Sincerely,
MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL, INC.
