     The members of the Audit Committee are Doctor R. Crants, Edouard de Royere
and Daniel J. Altobello, who serves as Chair.  The Audit Committee meets at
least two times a year with the Company's independent auditors, management
representatives and internal auditors.  The Audit Committee recommends to the
Company's Board the appointment of independent auditors, approves the scope of
audits and other services to be performed by the independent and internal
auditors, and reviews the results of internal and external audits, the
accounting principles applied in financial reporting and the adequacy of
financial and operational controls.  The independent auditors and internal
auditors have unrestricted access to the Audit Committee and vice versa.

Shaw and Doctor R. Crants, who serves as Chair.  The functions of this Committee
include determining the compensation of senior officers and certain other
employees, administering employee compensation and benefit plans and reviewing
the operations and policies of such plans.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

     Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")
requires the Company's executive officers and directors, and persons who own
more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company's equity securities
("Reporting Persons"), to file reports of beneficial ownership and changes in
beneficial ownership of the Company's equity securities with the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the New York Stock Exchange.  Specific due dates
for these reports have been established, and the Company is required to report
in this report any failure by such persons to file such reports on a timely
basis during 1997.  During 1997, the Reporting Persons of Old Marriott were in
compliance with these requirements, with the exception of one transaction not
timely reported by Robert T. Pras and one transaction not timely reported by
Edwin D. Fuller.

Marriott Common Stock as a result of the Spinoff. All awards were made under the
Marriott International, Inc. 1993 Comprehensive Stock Incentive Plan or the
Marriott International, Inc. 1996 Comprehensive Stock Incentive Plan (the "Old
Marriott Plans"). In connection with the Spinoff, the awards under the Old
Marriott Plans were canceled and substitute awards were granted under the
Marriott International, Inc. 1998 Comprehensive Stock and Cash Incentive Plan
(the "New Marriott Plan"). The substitute awards preserved (but did not increase
or decrease) the economic value of the awards under the Old Marriott Plans.

1998, immediately following the Transactions, the persons listed below no longer
hold executive officer positions with the Company, but have assumed positions
with New Marriott.  Although not an employee of the Company, William J. Shaw has
been elected Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company.

(1)  Fiscal year 1996 base salary earnings were for 53 weeks, all other fiscal
     year base salary earnings were for 52 weeks.

(2)  Salary amounts include base salary earned and paid in cash during the
     fiscal year and the amount of base salary deferred at the election of the
     executive officer under the Old Marriott Employees' Profit Sharing,
     Retirement and Savings Plan and Trust (the "Profit Sharing Plan") and
     Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Deferred Plan").

(3)  All awards of restricted stock noted in the above table for 1995, 1996 and
     1997 were originally made under the Old Marriott Plans for 1995, 1996 and
     1997 performance.  Restricted stock awards granted by Old Marriott are
     subject to general restrictions, such as continued employment and non-
     competition, and in some cases, additional performance restrictions such as
     attainment of financial objectives.  Holders of restricted stock receive
     dividend payments and exercise voting rights with respect to such shares.
     Awards of deferred bonus stock were generally derived by dividing 20
     percent of each individual's annual cash bonus award by the average of the
     high and low trading prices for a share of Old Marriott Common Stock on the
     last trading day for the fiscal year.  No voting rights or dividends are
     attributed to award shares until such awards are distributed.  The
     individual executive may elect to denominate the awards as current or
     deferred.  A current award is distributed in 10 annual installments
     commencing one year after the award is granted.  A deferred award is
     distributed in a lump sum or in up to 10 installments following termination
     of employment.  Deferred bonus stock contingently vests pro-rata in ten
     annual installments commencing one year after the award is granted to the
     employee.  Awards are not subject to forfeiture once the employee reaches
     age 55 with 10 years of service with Old Marriott, or has 20 years of
     service with Old Marriott with Board approval.

(4)  Total awards for each executive including awards reflected in the
     restricted stock column in the above table include the following for the
     named individual:  (i) for Mr. Marriott 5,833 shares deferred bonus stock
     with a value of $399,910; (ii) for Mr. Shaw 15,651 shares deferred bonus
     stock, 27,000 shares restricted stock and 25,000 shares deferred contract
     stock with an aggregate value of $4,638,153; (iii) for Mr. Tiefel 66,569
     shares deferred bonus stock, 2,000 shares restricted stock and 49,847
     shares deferred contract stock with an aggregate value of $8,118,601; (iv)
     for Mr. Ryan 3,098 shares deferred bonus stock, 28,000 shares restricted
     stock and 10,000 shares deferred contract stock with an aggregate value of
     $2,817,679; (v) for Mr. Stein 5,977 shares deferred bonus stock, 15,000
     shares restricted stock and 10,000 shares deferred contract stock with an
     aggregate value of $2,123,783; and (vi) for Mr. Sullivan 9,308 shares
     deferred bonus stock, 12,000 shares restricted stock, 10,000 shares
     deferred contract stock with an aggregate value of $2,146,476.

(5)  Amounts included in "All Other Compensation" represent Company matching
     contributions made under one or both of the Profit Sharing Plan and the
     Deferred Plan.  In 1997, for Mr. Marriott, $3,711 was attributable to the
     Profit Sharing Plan and $75,879 was attributable to the Deferred Plan; for
     Mr. Shaw, $2,082 was attributable to the Profit Sharing Plan and $21,926
     was attributable to the Deferred Plan; for Mr. Tiefel, $3,711 was
     attributable to the Profit Sharing Plan and $41,003 was attributable to the
     Deferred Plan; for Mr. Ryan, $1,531 was attributable to the Profit Sharing
     Plan and $10,962 was attributable to the Deferred Plan; for Mr. Stein,
     $3,711 was attributable to the Profit Sharing Plan and $26,050 was
     attributable to the Deferred Plan; for Mr. Sullivan, $3,711 was
     attributable to the Profit Sharing Plan and $25,972 was attributable to the
     Deferred Plan.

(6)  In 1996, Mr. J.W. Marriott, Jr. waived his vested right to receive post-
     retirement distributions of cash under the Deferred Plan and Old Marriott
     Common Stock under the Old Marriott 1993 Comprehensive Stock Incentive Plan
     (the "1993 Plan").  The payments and stock distributions waived were
     awarded to Mr. Marriott in 1995 and prior years and were 

                                      -7-
<PAGE>
 
     disclosed as required in earlier proxy statements of Old Marriott or of
     Marriott Corporation. In connection with this waiver, Old Marriott entered
     into an arrangement to purchase life insurance policies for the benefit of
     a trust established by Mr. Marriott, which arrangement has been assigned to
     Old Marriott. The cost of the life insurance policies to Old Marriott will
     not exceed the projected after-tax cost Old Marriott expected to incur in
     connection with the payments under the Deferred Plan and the stock
     distributions under the 1993 Plan that were waived by Mr. Marriott.

(1)  Under the Old Marriott Plans, Old Marriott was entitled to grant to
     eligible employees stock options either on a non-qualified tax basis or as
     "incentive stock options" within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal
     Revenue Code.  All options granted to Old Marriott employees in 1997 were
     non-qualified options and totaled 3,449,975 shares.

(2)  All options granted except for the supplemental options granted on February
     6, 1997, vest over four years on the anniversary date of the grant at a
     rate of 25% per year and have a 15-year term.  Except as set forth in the
     succeeding sentence, if an optionee ceases to be an employee, other than by
     reason of death, while holding an exercisable option, the option will
     generally terminate if not exercised within three months of termination of
     employment.  Options held by optionees who retire and meet certain
     retirement provisions of the Old Marriott Plan (retirement approved by the
     Compensation Policy Committee of the Board of 

                                      -8-
<PAGE>
         Directors and either age 55 with 10 years of service, or 20 years of
         service) will not expire until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the
         option in accordance with its original term or (ii) one year from the
         date on which the option granted latest in time to the optionee has
         fully vested. Options are not transferable except that if an optionee
         dies while an employee of Old Marriott more than one year from the date
         the option was granted, a legatee may exercise the remaining options at
         any time up to one year after the date of death of the employee.

(3)      The options granted on February 6, 1997 will vest in full at the end of
         eight years on the anniversary date of the grant and may vest earlier
         at the end of three, four or five years if certain stock price
         appreciation goals are achieved.

(4)      The Black-Scholes option pricing model was used to estimate the present
         value of the options at the date of the grant. The material assumptions
         and adjustments used in estimating the value of the options include: a
         10-year option term for the February grant and a 15-year option term
         for the November grant, an exercise price of $54.188 for the options
         issued in February and $67.7813 for the options issued in November,
         expected volatility of 23.97%, an annual dividend of $0.35, a risk free
         interest rate of 6.15%, an expected life of 7.15 years and a 13.3%
         reduction to reflect the probability of forfeiture due to termination
         prior to vesting. These inputs resulted in an $18.47 per share option
         value for the February grant and a $23.52 per share option value for
         the November grant.

     Corporation) ("Host Marriott") in October 1993 (the "October 1993
     Distribution") and pursuant to the Marriott Corporation Employee Stock
     Option Plan, all Marriott Corporation options were adjusted to reflect the
     October 1993 Distribution. Each nonqualified Marriott Corporation option
     was "split" by (i) adjusting the price at which the Marriott Corporation
     option (as adjusted, a "Host Marriott Corporation Option") was exercisable
     for common stock of Host Marriott Corporation and (ii) providing the holder
     thereof with an option to purchase an identical number of shares of Old
     Marriott Common Stock (each, an "Old Marriott Option"). The exercise price
     of the Old Marriott Option was set, and the exercise price of the
     corresponding Host Marriott Corporation Option was adjusted, so as to
     equal, in the aggregate, the exercise price of the Marriott Corporation
     option prior to the October 1993 Distribution. Accordingly, these
     adjustments merely preserved, and did not increase or decrease, the
     economic value of the outstanding Marriott Corporation option prior to the
     October 1993 Distribution. In December of 1995, in connection with the
     distribution of all of Host Marriott Services Corporation's outstanding
     common stock on a share-for-share basis to shareholders of Host Marriott
     Corporation (the "Host Marriott Services Distribution") and pursuant to the
     Host Marriott Corporation 1993 Comprehensive Stock Incentive Plan, all Host
     Marriott Corporation Options were adjusted to reflect the Host Marriott
     Services Distribution. The Host Marriott Services Distribution resulted in
     a lower option price and greater number of options in Host Marriott
     Corporation for all Old Marriott employees with outstanding options in Host
     Marriott Corporation. The exercise price was set, and the price of the Host
     Marriott Corporation Options were adjusted, so as to preserve (but not
     increase or decrease) the economic value of each Host Marriott Corporation
     Option immediately prior to the Host Marriott Services Distribution.

(3)  Based on a per share price for Old Marriott Common Stock of $68.56 and a
     per share price for Host Marriott Corporation Common Stock of $19.21.
     These prices reflect the average of the high and low trading prices on the
     New York Stock Exchange on January 2, 1998.

Compensation of Directors

     Directors who are also employees of the Company receive no additional
compensation for service as directors.  The Chairman of the Board, who is not an
employee of the Company, receives an annual retainer fee of $50,000.  Other

$25,000.  Non-employee directors also receive a fee of $1,250 for attendance at
Board, Committee or Stockholder meetings.  The Chair of each Committee of the

ITEM 13 -- CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

General

     In general, see "THE TRANSACTIONS--Arrangements Between SMS and New
Marriott" and "Arrangements Between SMS and Sodexho" on pages 43 through 50 of
the Proxy Statement, for a discussion of certain arrangements with New Marriott
and Sodexho, respectively, that were entered into upon consummation of the
Transactions. Such sections of the Proxy Statement are incorporated by reference
into this report.

     Pierre Bellon, who is a Director of the Company, is the Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer of Sodexho.  Bellon S.A., a privately held corporation,
beneficially owns approximately 42 percent of Sodexho.  Mr. Bellon and members
of his family beneficially own approximately 68 percent of Bellon S.A., and
subsidiaries of Sodexho beneficially own approximately 19 percent of Bellon S.A.
Bernard Carton, who is a Director of the Company, is the Vice President, Finance
of Sodexho.  Edouard de Royere, who is a director of the Company, is a director
of Sodexho.

Certain Transactions

     JWM Family Enterprises, L.P. ("Family Enterprises"), a Delaware limited
partnership owned by J.W. Marriott, Jr., the former Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer of Old Marriott and now Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of New
Marriott, and members of his immediate family, owns a 216-room Courtyard Hotel
in Long Beach, California, a 120-room Residence Inn in San Antonio, Texas and a
468-room Fairfield Inn in Anaheim, California. Subsidiaries of Old Marriott
operate the three properties pursuant to management agreements with Family
Enterprises. For 1997, Old Marriott received management fees totaling $878,183
for these properties, plus reimbursement of certain expenses. Old Marriott also
received payments in 1997 of $54,647 from Family Enterprises related to
furnishings and supplies for the Anaheim and Long Beach Hotels.

     McIntosh Mill Ltd.  ("McIntosh Mill"), a Utah limited partnership in
which Richard E. Marriott, a former director of Old Marriott and a current
director of New Marriott, has a 40 percent limited partnership interest, is
party to an agreement with Marriott Ownership Resort, Inc. ("MORI"), a
subsidiary of Old Marriott, under which MORI purchased land in Park City, Utah
from McIntosh Mill on which MORI is constructing a mixed-use, multi-phase
development.  The terms of the Agreement call for McIntosh Mill to purchase from
MORI the commercial condominium units for a cash purchase price calculated as
the pro rata share of the development and construction costs of the project
allocable to the commercial units less (i) the value of the land allocated to
the residential condominium units retained by MORI for its time share resort,
and (ii) an agreed upon development fee earned by McIntosh Mill.  Construction
of all phases was completed in 1997 and the cash portion of the purchase price
for the commercial space payable to MORI is approximately $3.95 million.  MORI
has secured payment of these amounts by purchase money mortgages on the
commercial condominium units until McIntosh Mill obtains long term mortgage
financing which is expected to be arranged in 1998.

     On March 29, 1997, Old Marriott acquired substantially all of the
outstanding common stock of Renaissance Hotel Group N.V. ("RHG"), an operator
and franchisor of 150 hotels in 38 countries, for approximately $1 billion.  Dr.
Henry Cheng Kar-Shun, a former director of Old Marriott and now a director of
New Marriott, together with members of the Cheng family, beneficially owned
approximately 60 percent of the RHG shares acquired by Old Marriott, and Dr.
Cheng became a director of Old Marriott in connection with the RHG acquisition.
RHG operates 87 hotels in which affiliates of Dr. Cheng and members of the Cheng
family have a direct or indirect ownership or leasehold interest.  New World
Development, for which Dr. Cheng serves as Managing Director and which is 35.3
percent owned by Dr. Cheng and members of the Cheng family, its affiliates or


                                     -14-
<PAGE>
 
affiliates of Dr. Cheng have indemnified RHG, its subsidiaries and Old Marriott
for certain lease, debt, guarantee and other obligations in connection with the
formation of RHG as a hotel management company in 1995.

Relationship Between Old Marriott and Host Marriott

     J.W. Marriott, Jr. and Richard E. Marriott and their respective immediate
family members beneficially own approximately 6.5 percent and 6.5 percent,
respectively, of the common stock of Host Marriott Corporation ("Host
Marriott"). Richard E. Marriott is the Chairman of the Board of Host Marriott,
and J.W. Marriott, Jr. is a director of Host Marriott.

     Old Marriott and Host Marriott are or have been party to agreements
which provide, among other things, for Old Marriott to (i) manage lodging
properties owned or leased by Host Marriott (the "Host Marriott Lodging
Management Agreements"), (ii) manage senior living communities owned by Host
Marriott (the "Host Marriott Senior Living Management Agreements"), (iii)
advance up to $225 million to Host Marriott under a line of credit (the "Host
Marriott Credit Agreement"), (iv) guarantee Host Marriott's performance in
connection with certain loans or other obligations (the "Old Marriott
Guarantees") and (v) provide Host Marriott with various administrative and
consulting services and a sublease of office space at the Marriott headquarters
building (the "Services Agreements").  Old Marriott had the right to purchase up
to 20 percent of the voting stock of Host Marriott if certain events involving a
change of control of Host Marriott occur.  These agreements were assigned from
Old Marriott to New Marriott upon completion of the Spinoff.

     The Host Marriott Lodging Management Agreements provide for Old Marriott to
manage Marriott hotels, Courtyard hotels and Residence Inns owned or leased by
Host Marriott. Each Host Marriott Lodging Management Agreement, when entered
into, reflects market terms and conditions and is substantially similar to the
terms of management agreements with third-party owners regarding lodging
facilities of a similar type. Old Marriott recognized sales of $2,302 million
and operating profit (before corporate expenses and interest) of $140 million
during 1997, from the lodging properties owned or leased by Host Marriott.
Additionally, Host Marriott is a general partner in several unconsolidated
partnerships that own lodging properties operated by Old Marriott under long-
term agreements. Old Marriott recognized sales of $1,513 million and operating
profit (before corporate expenses and interest) of $122 million in 1997, from
the lodging properties owned by these unconsolidated partnerships. Old Marriott
also leases land to certain of these partnerships and recognized land rent
income of $23 million in 1997.

     In June 1997, Old Marriott sold to Host Marriott all of the issued and
outstanding stock of Forum Group, Inc. which owns or leases 29 senior living
communities, for aggregate consideration of approximately $550 million,
comprised of cash, notes from Host Marriott, Old Marriott's share of outstanding
debt of Forum Group, and approximately $87 million to be received as expansions
as certain communities are completed.  Marriott Senior Living Services, Inc., a
subsidiary of Old Marriott, manages these communities under the Host Marriott
Senior Living Management Agreements.  Each Host Marriott Senior Living
Management Agreement reflects market terms and conditions and is substantially
similar to the terms of management agreements with third-party owners regarding
senior living facilities of a similar type.  Old Marriott recognized sales of
$126 million and operating profit (before corporate expenses and interest) of $1
million under these agreements during 1997.

     On June 19, 1997, the $225 million secured credit facility under the
Host Marriott Credit Agreement was terminated by mutual consent.  Under the Host
Marriott Credit Agreement, interest on outstanding balances up to $112.5 million
accrued at LIBOR plus 3 percent; interest on outstanding balances from $112.5
million to $225 million accrued at LIBOR plus 4 percent.  Old Marriott has
provided, and New Marriott may in the future provide, financing to Host Marriott
for a portion of the cost of acquiring properties to be operated or franchised
by New Marriott, including 


                                     -15-
<PAGE>
 
notes received as partial consideration for Host Marriott's purchase of Forum
Group, Inc. The outstanding principal amount of these loans was $135 million at
January 2, 1998, and Old Marriott recognized $9 million in 1997 in interest and
fee income under these credit agreements with Host Marriott.

     Under the Old Marriott Guarantees, Old Marriott has guaranteed Host
Marriott's performance to lenders and other third parties.  These guarantees
were limited to $107 million at January 2, 1998.  No payments have been made by
Old Marriott pursuant to these guarantees.

     Old Marriott also provides certain administrative services to Host
Marriott (including the services provided to Host Marriott Services prior to the
Host Marriott Services Distribution) for which Old Marriott was paid
approximately $17 million in 1997, including reimbursements, pursuant to the
Services Agreements.

     In December 1997, Host Marriott completed its acquisition of the
Leisure Park at Lakewood, New Jersey senior living community, purchasing all but
one percent of Old Marriott's 50 percent interest for approximately $8.65
million in cash and notes.  In 1997, Old Marriott's subsidiary that manages this
facility received management fees of $919,665 from the partnership.

Relationship Between Old Marriott and Host Marriott Services

     Until December 29, 1995, Host Marriott Services Corporation ("Host
Marriott Services") was a wholly owned subsidiary of Host Marriott.  On that
date, Host Marriott separated the Host Marriott Services businesses from its
other businesses through the "Host Marriott Services Distribution" to holders of
outstanding shares of Host Marriott common stock of one share of Host Marriott
Services common stock for each five shares of Host Marriott common stock.  Upon
the consummation of the Host Marriott Services Distribution, Host Marriott
Services became a separate, publicly held company.

     J.W. Marriott, Jr. and Richard E. Marriott and their respective immediate
family members beneficially own approximately 6.9 percent and 6.8 percent,
respectively, of the common stock of Host Marriott Services. William J. Shaw,
former President and Chief Operating Officer and a director of Old Marriott and
now the President and Chief Operating Officer and a director of New Marriott and
a Director of the Company, is the Chairman of the Board of Host Marriott
Services, and J.W. Marriott, Jr. and Richard E. Marriott are directors of Host
Marriott Services.

     In connection with the Host Marriott Services Distribution, Old
Marriott and Host Marriott Services entered into service agreements that are
similar to the Service Agreements, and in some cases Host Marriott has assigned
to Host Marriott Services, and Host Marriott Services has assumed, the
applicable Services Agreements.  Old Marriott received payments aggregating
approximately $10 million in 1997, including reimbursements, pursuant to these
agreements.  In addition, Old Marriott provides and distributes food and
supplies to Host Marriott Services, for which Old Marriott charged approximately
$80 million in 1997.

     In connection with the Transactions, the obligations of Old Marriott
to Host Marriott Services under various service agreements were assigned to New
Marriott, and the Company and New Marriott entered into restated Noncompetition
Agreements with Host Marriott Services that superceded the previous
Noncompetition Agreement between Old Marriott and Host Marriott Services.

(with respect to the United 

                                                                               4

States) and MWC (with respect to Canada) each hereby grants the following non-
exclusive license to use the Marriott Marks in connection with the Management
Services Business:

                  a. Corporate Name Use. For a period of four years following
                     ------------------
the Distribution Date, Spinco (with respect to the United States) and MWC (with
respect to Canada) grants to the SMS Parties a non-exclusive limited license to
use the "Marriott" mark solely as a part of (i) SMS's corporate name, "Sodexho
Marriott Services, Inc.," or "Sodexho Marriott Services", (ii) the names of
SMS's principal business divisions, which names shall be limited to "Sodexho
Marriott Health Care Services," "Sodexho Marriott Education Services," "Sodexho
Marriott Corporate Services," "Sodexho Marriott School Services," "Sodexho
Marriott Laundry Services," and "Sodexho Marriott Services Canada", and (iii)
such reasonable number of other corporate names of SMS Parties as may be
consented to by Spinco, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld
(collectively, the "Corporate Names"). Such use of the Corporate Names can be
made only in connection with the Management Services Business. No Subsidiary of
SMS, or party other than SMS itself, may use any Marriott Mark in any manner,
including its corporate, partnership, trade name or other entity name except
that any such Subsidiary may use the Corporate Names as the name of such
corporation, partnership or other entity, or as a d/b/a/ name, solely in
connection with the Management Services Business for the same period and subject
to the same terms and limitations that apply to use of the Corporate Names.
Subject to the other terms and provisions in this Agreement, this License
permits only the following uses of the Corporate Names in connection with the
Management Services Business:

                     (i)   Printed Materials. The SMS Parties may use the
                           -----------------
Corporate Names on printed materials and documentation, other than promotional
materials and advertising (and other printed materials that are covered by
clauses (ii) - (v) below), solely (a) to identify SMS as a company in
shareholder communications, including annual and quarterly reports, filings with
the Securities and Exchange Commission and other governmental entities, (b) in
documentation submitted to financial institutions in connection with financial
transactions such as loan applications, (c) to identify any SMS Party or its
employees to clients, suppliers and other third parties with which it deals in
the Management Services Business, (d) on stationary used in the Management
Services Business, and (e) on accounting forms, invoices, receipts and similar
preprinted or standardized business forms used in the Management Services
Business.

                     (ii)  Promotional Materials and Advertising. The SMS
                           -------------------------------------
Parties may use the Corporate Names in promotional materials and advertising
provided that (a) such use clearly identifies the services offered as relating
solely to the Management Services Business, and (b) at Spinco's or MWC's
request, not more often than once per fiscal quarter, and at any time upon
Spinco's or MWC's reasonable request based upon a reasonable belief that a
violation of this Agreement by an SMS Party may have occurred or be imminent,
representatives familiar with SMS's promotional materials and advertising shall
meet with representatives of Spinco and/or MWC at Spinco's headquarters to
provide samples of all such promotional materials and advertising used or
proposed to be used, the intended use or uses thereof, and other information
reasonably required by Spinco and/or MWC to enable Spinco and/or MWC to confirm
that such materials and uses are in conformity with this Agreement.

                                                                               5
<PAGE>
 
                   (iii) Signage. The SMS Parties may use the Corporate Names in
                         -------
connection with the Management Services Business on signage solely (a) at
corporate offices (e.g., corporate headquarters, regional offices, local
offices), and (b) at the unit level in the types of locations, and substantially
in the sizes, manner and frequency, consistent with past practice as of
September 30, 1997.

                   (iv)  SMS Logo. The SMS Parties may use the Corporate Names
                         --------
in a logo developed specifically for use by SMS, which logo must be approved by
Spinco and MWC, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The logo may
be used solely in the manners permitted by this Section 2.

                   (v)   Employee Badges and Uniforms, etc. The SMS Parties may
                         ---------------------------------
use the Corporate Names on employee uniforms, badges, identification cards,
bulletin boards, menus and menu boards and employee recognition displays and
other means of identifying the SMS Parties or their employees in connection with
the Management Services Business, consistent with past practice as of September
30, 1997. Notwithstanding the foregoing, employee uniforms and name badges may
contain the words "Sodexho Marriott" only, without the need to add "Services"
thereto.

                   (vi)  Certain Limitations at Senior Living Facilities.
                         -----------------------------------------------
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporate Names shall not be used in any way
at or in connection with any limited service or full service retirement or
senior living service facility or community, including any independent and/or
assisted living facility or congregate care facility; provided, that this
                                                      --------
limitation shall not apply to (A) any such facility in which SMS (not including
the Company or its Subsidiaries) has an account as of the Distribution Date, or
(B) any skilled nursing facility that does not include independent or assisted
living units; provided, further, that if requested by a client or potential
              --------  -------
client, an SMS Party may use the Corporate Names solely to disclose relevant
corporate-subsidiary relationships to the client. With respect to any use of the
Corporate Names permitted by clause (A) of the foregoing proviso, SMS shall
prohibit its client from using the Corporate Names in promotional or advertising
materials and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such client
not to use or invoke the Corporate Names in its sales or promotional activities,
whether within or outside the unit.

                   (vii) Certain Limitations at Conference Centers.
                         -----------------------------------------
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporate Names shall be used at or in
connection with the Retained Conference Centers only in a manner consistent with
past practice as of September 30, 1997. The parties agree that the Corporate
Names may not be used to advertise, promote or market the Retained Conference
Centers to the general public or to other third parties, other than brochures or
similar print media sent or provided solely to the client or to potential
invitees of the client which would use the conference center either in
connection with a preexisting relationship with the client or to use its
facilities (other than the conference center itself), in a manner consistent
with past practice as of September 30, 1997.

                                                                               6
<PAGE>
 
                     (viii) Name Prominence. The word "Marriott" shall be no
                            ---------------
more prominent that the word "Sodexho" in connection with any use of the
Marriott Mark or the Corporate Names hereunder.

For the avoidance of doubt, neither Spinco nor MWC shall have any right to
approve any use of (1) the corporate name of any SMS Party except the Corporate
Names or (2) other materials that do not include any Marriott Mark.

                  b. Existing Agreements. Spinco (with respect to the United
                     -------------------
States) and MWC (with respect to jurisdictions outside the United States) grants
to the SMS Parties a non-exclusive limited license to use the Marriott Marks
solely in accordance with and to the extent required by the terms of any joint
venture or similar agreement listed on Exhibit 1 hereto as any such agreement
exists as of the date hereof; provided that the SMS Parties shall use
                              --------
commercially reasonable efforts commencing as soon as practicable after the date
hereof to amend such agreements to delete any right to use the Marriott Marks;
provided further that if the SMS Parties fail to amend such agreements as
- ----------------
provided in the first proviso within one year following the Distribution Date,
Spinco and MWC, as applicable, shall have the right to negotiate directly with
the joint venture or its members to effect such amendment on terms reasonably
satisfactory to Spinco and SMS, and SMS agrees to cooperate with Spinco or MWC,
as applicable, in connection therewith, provided that such negotiations shall
not unreasonably interfere with the applicable joint venture's conduct of its
Management Services Business.

                  c. Transitional Trademark Usage. For a period of nine months
                     ----------------------------
following the Distribution Date, each of Spinco (with respect to the United
States) and MWC (with respect to Canada) grants to the SMS Parties a
non-exclusive license to use the Marriott Marks as trademarks or service marks
to identify goods or services provided in connection with the Management
Services Business solely in the manner in which the Marriott Marks are used in
the United States and Canada by the Marriott Management Services strategic
business unit of SMS as of September 30, 1997. This transitional license is
granted by Spinco and MWC to the SMS Parties solely for the purpose of phasing
out existing use of the Marriott Marks. Except for the use of the Corporate
Names permitted in Section 2(a) above and the use of the Marriott Marks
permitted in Section 2(b), the SMS Parties shall make no use whatsoever of the
Marriott Marks after the expiration of the nine month period following the
Distribution Date.

                  d. Usage Generally. No SMS Party is permitted to make any
                     ---------------
other use of the Marriott Marks without the prior written permission of Spinco
or MWC, as applicable, which Spinco or MWC, as applicable, may grant or withhold
in its sole discretion.

               3. Territory. The License granted in this Agreement covers the
                  ---------
United States, its possessions, Canada and, to the extent necessary to perform
the agreements set forth on Exhibit 1, as amended after the date hereof, such
other territories specifically identified in such agreements (which agreements
may not be amended or modified as to the use of the Marriott Marks, without the
prior written consent of Spinco or MWC, as applicable, which Spinco or MWC, as
applicable, may grant or withhold in its sole discretion).

                                                                               7
<PAGE>
 
         4. Restriction of License to SMS. The parties agree that the License
            -----------------------------
granted herein to use the Marriott Marks in connection with the Management
Services Business shall be restricted solely to SMS and the other SMS Parties,
and only for so long as such entities remain SMS Parties.

         5. Payment of License Fee. During the term hereof, SMS hereby agrees to
            ----------------------
pay to Spinco and MWC an annual license fee (the "License Fee") in the aggregate
amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000). Such amount shall be paid in equal
quarterly installments of $250,000 payable in advance on the Distribution Date
(pro rated for the remainder of the then-current fiscal quarter of Spinco) and
on the first day of each fiscal quarter of Spinco thereafter. If this Agreement
is terminated, such fee shall be prorated for any partial quarter during which
this Agreement is in effect, and Spinco and MWC (as a joint and several
obligation) will promptly return to SMS the balance of the License Fee for such
quarter.

         6. Spinco's and MWC's Ownership of the Marriott Marks.
            --------------------------------------------------

the Marriott Marks in the United States, and that MWC is the exclusive owner of
the Marriott Marks in Canada and in other territories outside the United States.
The SMS Parties agree that, except for the limited licensed right to use the
Marriott Marks as provided in this Agreement, no SMS Party has any right, title
or interest in or to the Marriott Marks. For purposes of clarification, the
parties acknowledge that no SMS Party has any right to use the Marriott Marks in
connection with the Management Services Business, except as provided in this
Agreement. The SMS Parties agree that all uses of the Marriott Marks by the SMS
Parties and the goodwill associated with such uses shall inure solely to the
benefit of Spinco and MWC, and upon termination of its rights to use the
Marriott Marks as provided in this Agreement, all right and interest of the SMS
Parties in and to the Marriott Marks shall revert fully to Spinco and MWC, as
applicable.

            b. The SMS Parties agree to cooperate fully with Spinco and MWC in
recording appropriate assignment and other documents evidencing Spinco's or
MWC's, as applicable, ownership of the Marriott Marks. The SMS Parties agree to
take no action inconsistent with Spinco's or MWC's ownership of and interest in
the Marriott Marks. Each of Spinco and MWC agrees to cooperate fully with SMS in
recording appropriate documents evidencing the License to SMS.

            c. The SMS Parties shall not (i) attack or challenge in any manner
whatsoever the validity of the Marriott Marks, Spinco's and MWC's ownership
thereof or any of the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) assist any third party in
doing any of the same. The SMS Parties hereby waive any right to contest the

Marriott Marks described in Section 2 of this Agreement is expressly subject to
the following conditions:

                                                                               8

                  a. All uses of Marriott Marks by the SMS Parties, except such
uses in advertising and promotional materials which are covered by Section
2.a.(ii) above, shall be subject to Spinco's and MWC's (as applicable) prior
written approval on the basis of samples submitted by SMS with a written
description of the intended use or uses. If such samples and uses are approved
in the manner set forth herein, they shall be made in strict conformance with
such reasonable specifications or requirements as Spinco or MWC (as applicable)
shall establish (such specifications and requirements to be consistent with the
requirements of this Agreement and/or with specifications and requirements then
in use for the Marriott Mark by Spinco and/or MWC), as such specifications or
requirements may be modified by Spinco or MWC from time to time upon reasonable
notice to SMS.

                  b. All displays of Marriott Marks by the SMS Parties shall
bear such copyright, trademark, service mark and other notices as Spinco or MWC
(as applicable) shall reasonably require, and the SMS Parties shall adhere to
any other reasonable and customary posting requirements developed by Spinco and
MWC with respect to the Marriott Marks.

                  c. The SMS Parties shall not use the Marriott Marks as part
of, or display the Marriott Marks in conjunction with, any other names or marks
except with Spinco's or MWC's (as applicable) prior written approval which
approval (except as provided otherwise in Section 2) may be granted or withheld
by Spinco in its sole discretion. Such prior written approval by Spinco shall be
provided within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such request from any SMS
Party. In the absence of a written disapproval within fifteen (15) days, the
specific use or intended use by the SMS Parties shall be presumed to be
consistent with this Agreement.

                  d. The SMS Parties shall not use the Marriott Marks or any
confusingly similar name, mark, term or design, except as expressly authorized
in this Agreement or consented to by Spinco or MWC (as applicable) in writing,
and the SMS Parties shall not attempt to register or aid any third party in
using or attempting to register any such name, mark, term or design in any
jurisdiction or locale.

                  e. The SMS Parties shall not use the Marriott Marks in any
manner that is inconsistent with the fact that they are using the Marriott Marks
as a licensee of Spinco or MWC (as applicable).

                  f. The SMS Parties shall not use the Marriott Marks in
connection with any reference to the experience, operations or history in the
Spinco Business of SMS, its Affiliates or predecessors (including the lodging,
senior living services and timeshare businesses) except for the specific
reference to SMS as "a former division of Marriott International, Inc., a
worldwide hospitality company."

                                                                               9
<PAGE>
 
                  g. The SMS Parties shall not use the Marriott Marks in any
manner that may tend to: (1) negatively impact or disparage the image or
reputation of the Marriott Marks, and/or (2) dilute the distinctiveness of the
Marriott Marks.

Any breach of the foregoing provisions may be remedied by the remedies set forth
in Section 16 of this Agreement as applicable.

         8.       Quality Control.
                  ---------------

                  a. Each of Spinco and MWC is familiar with the general quality
of the goods and services now provided by SMS and the Retained Subsidiaries in
the Management Services Business and finds, at the present time, the quality of
such goods and services to be acceptable. All goods and services to be provided
by the SMS Parties under the Marriott Marks shall be provided in accordance with
the quality standards of SMS and the Retained Subsidiaries now in place and such
other quality standards that Spinco or MWC (as applicable) may reasonably impose
from time to time; provided that such other quality standards shall not be
                   --------
higher than the standard then prevailing in the industry for similar services
and products in similar markets, unless a higher standard is required by law.

                  b. Spinco (in the United States) and MWC (in Canada and
elsewhere in the Territory) shall have the right, at reasonable times and with
prior notice, to inspect any facility operated by any SMS Party, and any goods
provided by any SMS Party, at any time for the purpose of determining whether
they have met or are meeting the quality standards required under this
Agreement. SMS shall promptly produce and deliver (at its own expense) to Spinco
or MWC (as applicable) such examples of the use of the Marriott Marks by any SMS
Party as Spinco shall reasonably request.

Any breach of the foregoing provisions discovered by inspection or otherwise may
be remedied by the remedies set forth in Section 16 of this Agreement.

         9.       Limitation of Liability; Indemnity.
                  ----------------------------------

                  a. IN NO EVENT SHALL SPINCO OR MWC BE LIABLE FOR ANY MATTER
WHATSOEVER RELATING TO THE USE BY ANY SMS PARTY OF THE MARRIOTT MARKS EXCEPT AS
OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 9.

                  b. The SMS Parties shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless
Spinco and MWC and their respective employees, representatives, directors,
officers and agents from and against any and all costs, judgments, liabilities
and expenses, including interest, penalties, attorneys' and third party fees,
and all other amounts paid in the investigation, litigation, defense and/or
settlement (collectively, "Expenses") resulting from any actual or potential
claim, demand, dispute, notice, lawsuit, administrative proceeding or other
action (collectively, 

                                                                              10
<PAGE>
 
"Dispute") that relates in any way to the exercise of the rights granted in this
Agreement by any SMS Party or any other usage by any SMS Party of any Marriott
Mark.

                  c. Spinco and MWC shall, jointly and severally, indemnify,
defend and hold harmless the SMS Parties and their employees, representatives,
directors, officers and agents from and against any and all Expenses resulting
from any Dispute that relates to a third party claim that the Marriott Mark
infringes any other trademark, tradename or service mark.

                  d. The parties agree that Disputes arising hereunder shall be
governed by the procedures set forth in Section 4.4 and 4.5 of the Distribution
Agreement.

                  e. The SMS Parties shall maintain a third party liability
insurance policy during the term of this Agreement and for two years after its
termination, in amounts and coverages and with deductibles customary for
businesses of SMS's nature and size, to which policy each of Spinco and MWC
shall be named as an additional insured to the full extent of the insurance
carried by the SMS Parties; provided that in substitution of such policy Sodexho
                            --------
may provide an unconditional, continuing guaranty in favor of each of Spinco and
MWC (in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Spinco and MWC) pursuant to
which Sodexho shall guaranty the indemnification obligations of the SMS Parties
under this Section 9.

              10. Infringement Proceedings. Each of Spinco and MWC shall take
                  ------------------------
those steps it deems necessary, in its reasonable judgment, to protect its
rights and interests in the Marriott Marks. Promptly upon receiving notice or
knowledge thereof, each SMS Party shall provide Spinco and MWC with written
notice of any unauthorized use or potentially infringing use by third parties of
any Marriott Mark or any confusingly similar trademarks, service marks, trade
names, terms or designs. Spinco and MWC shall each have the right, in its sole
discretion and at its sole cost and expense, to commence infringement, unfair
competition or other actions regarding any such use by third parties of any of
the Marriott Marks or confusingly similar marks. The SMS Parties, at Spinco's
and MWC's expense, shall cooperate with and assist Spinco and/or MWC in its
investigation and prosecution of any of the foregoing.

              11. Assignment and Sublicense. The SMS Parties may not assign
                  -------------------------
their rights under this Agreement or sublicense their rights to use the Marriott
Marks licensed to them pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement, in whole or in
part, to any third party. Any purported assignment or sublicense by the SMS
Parties not in compliance with the terms of this Agreement shall be null and
void. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of the parties and their successors and assigns. No third party
beneficiaries are intended by execution and delivery of this Agreement.

              12. Other Licensees. During the term of the license granted
                  ---------------
hereunder, neither Spinco nor MWC shall grant a license or other right to any
other party (other than a Subsidiary or Affiliate of Spinco; for the avoidance
of doubt, Host Marriott Services Corporation and its Subsidiaries are not
Affiliates of Spinco for this purpose) to use a Marriott Mark in any business
that competes with the MMS Business as such term is defined in the Non-
Competition 

                                                                              11

Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not require Spinco to
           --------  -------
amend, waive or take any other action with respect to that certain License

         15. Effect of Termination. For a period of 180 days after the earlier
             ---------------------
of the termination of this Agreement or the giving of notice of termination
under Section 14.(ii) (but in any event not beyond the expiration of the term
(set forth in Section 13)), the SMS Parties shall be entitled to continue to use
the Marriott Marks in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, but only for
the purpose of effecting an orderly transition to the use of new marks or names.
No use whatsoever is permitted after the expiration of the term (set forth in
Section 13). Upon the expiration of the earlier of the term (set forth in
Section 13) or of such 180 day period, as applicable, the SMS Parties shall:

             a. immediately discontinue use of the Marriott Marks, and not use
any confusingly similar names, marks, terms or designs; take all steps necessary
to remove the Marriott Marks from the Corporate Names; and eliminate all uses of
the Marriott Marks, including destroying all unused materials bearing the
Marriott Marks such as stationary and forms, and changing all signage that bears
the Marriott Marks;

             b. if Spinco or MWC (as applicable) requires, cooperate with Spinco
or MWC (as applicable) to apply to the appropriate authorities to cancel from
all governmental records the recording of this Agreement;

             c. permit Spinco and MWC to inspect any of the SMS Parties'
premises to ensure compliance with this Section 15; and

Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement and/or the License, the
provisions of Sections 6, 7(d), 9 and 15 of this Agreement shall remain in full
force and effect in perpetuity.

         16. Remedies.
             --------

             a. The SMS Parties, and Spinco and MWC, acknowledge and agree that
money damages would be inadequate relief for any breach or threatened breach by

breaching party or parties, as the case may be, shall be entitled to injunctive
or other equitable relief for any breach or threatened breach thereof.

             b. The SMS parties acknowledge that the failure by any SMS Party to
cease use of the Marriott Marks after termination of the License, the use by any

such Marriott Marks, or the attempt by any SMS Party to assign its rights in
violation of this Agreement will result in immediate and irreparable damage to
Spinco and MWC. The SMS Parties acknowledge and admit that there is no adequate
remedy at law for such breaches of this Agreement, and the SMS Parties agree
that in the event of such breaches (individually or collectively), Spinco and
MWC

     (b)  Beginning 120 days prior to the end of the Initial Period, Sodexho and
SMS shall negotiate in good faith to determine the amount and payment mechanics
of the Royalty Fee payable for periods commencing after the Initial Period,
based on the fair market value of the use of the Tradename hereunder.  Any such
subsequent Royalty Fee shall require the approval of the Independent Directors.

     (c)  During the Initial Period, the Royalty Fee shall be payable as
follows:

          quarter and the denominator of which is the total number of days in
          such fiscal quarter.

                  (ii)   On the first day of each fiscal quarter of SMS
          thereafter, SMS shall pay to Sodexho an amount equal to 0.05% of SMS's
          projected gross sales for such fiscal quarter.

                  (iii)  Within 45 days following the end of each fiscal
          quarter, SMS shall deliver to Sodexho its consolidated income
          statement for such fiscal quarter and a calculation of the Royalty Fee
          payable for such fiscal quarter based on the gross sales set forth
          therein.  If the Royalty Fee exceeds the quarterly advance previously
          paid with respect to such fiscal quarter, then SMS will promptly pay
          to Sodexho the amount of such excess, and if the quarterly advance
          previously paid with respect to such fiscal quarter exceeds the
          Royalty Fee, then Sodexho will promptly pay to SMS the amount of such
          excess.

     (d)  If this Agreement is terminated, the Royalty Fee shall be prorated for
any partial quarter (based on the number of days elapsed) during which this
Agreement is in effect, and Sodexho will promptly return to SMS the balance of
the Royalty Fee for such quarter.

       5. Sodexho's Ownership of the Tradename.  (a)   SMS acknowledges that
Sodexho is the exclusive owner of the Tradename in the United States, Canada and
certain other territories outside the United States.  SMS agrees that, except
for the limited licensed right to use the Tradename as provided in this
Agreement, SMS has no right, title or interest in or to the 

                                       4
<PAGE>
 
Tradename. SMS agrees that all uses of the Tradename by SMS and the goodwill
associated with such uses shall inure solely to the benefit of Sodexho, and upon
termination of its rights to use the Tradename as provided in this Agreement,
all right and interest of SMS in and to the Tradename shall revert fully to
Sodexho.

     (b)  SMS agrees to cooperate fully with Sodexho in recording appropriate
assignment and other documents evidencing Sodexho's ownership of the Tradename.
SMS agrees to take no action inconsistent with Sodexho's ownership of and
interest in the Tradename.  Sodexho agrees to cooperate fully with SMS in
recording appropriate documents evidencing the License to SMS.

     (c)  SMS shall not (i) attack or challenge in any manner whatsoever the
validity of the Tradename, Sodexho's ownership thereof or any of the terms of
this Agreement, or (ii) assist any third party in doing any of the same.  SMS
hereby waives any right to contest the validity of the Tradename.

       6. Limitations on Use of the Tradename. The License to use the Tradename
described in Section 2 of this Agreement is expressly subject to the following
conditions:

     (a)  All displays of the Tradename by SMS shall bear such copyright,
trademark, service mark and other notices as Sodexho shall reasonably require,
and SMS shall adhere to any other reasonable and customary posting requirements
developed by Sodexho with respect to the Tradename.

     (b)  SMS shall not use the Tradename or any confusingly similar name, mark,
term or design, except as expressly authorized in this Agreement or consented to
by Sodexho in writing, and SMS shall not attempt to register or aid any third
party in using or attempting to register any such name, mark, term or design in
any jurisdiction or locale.

     (c)  SMS shall not use the Tradename in any manner that is inconsistent
with the fact that it is using the Tradename as a licensee of Sodexho.

     (d)  SMS shall not use the Tradename in any manner that may tend to: (i)
disparage the image or reputation of the Tradename, and/or (ii) dilute the
distinctiveness of the Tradename.

Any breach of the foregoing provisions may be remedied by the remedies set forth
in Section 14 of this Agreement as applicable.

     7.   Quality Control.  (a)   Sodexho is familiar with the general quality
of the goods and services now provided by SMS (through MMS, MMS Canada, ICC,
Sodexho Canada, and their respective subsidiaries) in the SMS Business and
finds, at the present time, the quality of such goods and services to be
acceptable. All goods and services to be provided by SMS under the Tradename
shall be provided in accordance with the quality standards of SMS now in place
and such other quality standards that Sodexho may reasonably impose from time to
time; provided that such other quality standards shall not be higher than the
standard then prevailing in the industry for similar services and products in
similar markets, unless a higher standard is required by law.

                                       5
<PAGE>
 
     (b)  Sodexho shall have the right, at reasonable times and with prior
notice, to inspect any facility operated by SMS, and any goods provided by SMS,
at any time for the purpose of determining whether they have met or are meeting
the quality standards required under this Agreement. SMS shall promptly produce
and deliver (at its own expense) to Sodexho such examples of the use of the
Tradename by SMS as Sodexho shall reasonably request.

Any breach of the foregoing provisions discovered by inspection or otherwise may
be remedied by the remedies set forth in Section 14 of this Agreement.

       8. Limitation of Liability; Indemnity.  (a)   IN NO EVENT SHALL SODEXHO
BE LIABLE FOR ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER RELATING TO THE USE BY SMS OF THE TRADENAME
EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 8.

     (b)  SMS shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Sodexho and its
employees, representatives, directors, officers and agents from and against any
and all costs, judgments, liabilities and expenses, including interest,
penalties, attorneys' and third party fees, and all other amounts paid in the
investigation, litigation, defense and/or settlement (collectively, "Expenses")
resulting from any actual or potential claim, demand, dispute, notice, lawsuit,
administrative proceeding or other action (collectively, "Dispute") that relates
in any way to the exercise of the rights granted in this Agreement to SMS or any
other usage by SMS of the Tradename.

     (c)  Sodexho shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless SMS and its
employees, representatives, directors, officers and agents from and against any
and all Expenses resulting from any Dispute that relates to a third party claim
that the Tradename infringes any other trademark, tradename or service mark.

     (d)  The parties agree that Disputes arising hereunder shall be governed by
the procedures set forth in Section 4.4 and 4.5 of the Distribution Agreement.

     (e)  SMS shall maintain a third party liability insurance policy during the
term of this Agreement and for two years after its termination, in amounts and
coverages and with deductibles customary for businesses of SMS's nature and
size, to which policy Sodexho shall be named as an additional insured to the
full extent of the insurance carried by SMS.

       9. Infringement Proceedings.  Sodexho shall take those steps it deems
necessary, in its reasonable judgment, to protect its rights and interests in
the Tradename.  Promptly upon receiving notice or knowledge thereof, SMS shall
provide Sodexho with written notice of any unauthorized use or potentially
infringing use by third parties of the Tradename or any confusingly similar
trademarks, service marks, trade names, terms or designs. Sodexho shall have the
right, in its sole discretion and at its sole cost and expense, to commence
infringement, unfair competition or other actions regarding any such use by
third parties of the Tradename or confusingly similar marks.  SMS, at Sodexho's
expense, shall cooperate with and assist Sodexho in its investigation and
prosecution of any of the foregoing.

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
       10. Assignment and Sublicense. Except as set forth in Section 3, SMS may
not assign its rights under this Agreement or sublicense its rights to use the
Tradename licensed to it pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement, in whole or in
part, to any third party. Any purported assignment or sublicense by SMS not in
compliance with the terms of this Agreement shall be null and void. Subject to
the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the parties and their successors and assigns. No third party beneficiaries are
intended by execution and delivery of this Agreement.

       11. Term. The License to use the Tradename will extend from the
Distribution Date until the tenth anniversary of the Distribution Date, unless
earlier terminated as provided in Section 12.

       12. Termination of License. (a) Sodexho may terminate this Agreement
prior to the expiration of the term as follows:

                  (i)   upon (A) filing of a voluntary bankruptcy petition by
          SMS; (B) filing of an involuntary bankruptcy petition against SMS
          which is not vacated, stayed or dismissed within ninety (90) days
          after filing thereof and results in the entry of an order for relief;
          (C) assignment for the benefit of creditors made by SMS; or (D)
          appointment of a receiver for SMS;

                  (ii)  if SMS attempts to transfer or license any rights to the
          Tradename in violation of this Agreement; or

                  (iii) if SMS breaches any term of this Agreement and such
          breach is not cured within thirty (30) days following provision of
          written notice of such breach by Sodexho to SMS.

SMS hereby agrees to notify Sodexho in writing immediately upon the occurrence
of any such event.

     (b)  If Sodexho ceases to own 10% or more of the outstanding common stock
of SMS, SMS may terminate this Agreement upon 180 days' prior written notice to
Sodexho.

       13. Effect of Termination. For a period of 180 days after the earlier of
the termination of this Agreement or the giving of notice of termination under
Section 12(b) (but in any event not beyond the expiration of the term set forth
in Section 11), SMS shall be entitled to continue to use the Tradename in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, but only for the purpose of
effecting an orderly transition to the use of new marks or names. No use
whatsoever is permitted after the expiration of the term set forth in Section
11. Upon the expiration of the earlier of the term set forth in Section 11 or of
such 180 day period, as applicable, SMS shall:

     (a)  immediately discontinue use of the Tradename, and not use any
confusingly similar names, marks, terms or designs; take all steps necessary to
remove the Tradename from its corporate name; and eliminate all uses of the
Tradename, including destroying all unused 

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
materials bearing the Tradename such as stationery and forms, and changing all
signage that bears the Tradename;

     (b)  if Sodexho requires, cooperate with Sodexho to apply to the
appropriate authorities to cancel from all governmental records the recording of
this Agreement;

     (c)  permit Sodexho to inspect any of SMS's premises to ensure compliance
with this Section 13; and

     (d)  upon request, provide Sodexho with evidence that SMS has changed its
corporate name and any d/b/a names to eliminate all uses of the Tradename and
otherwise complied with this Section 13.

Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement and/or the License, the
provisions of Sections 5, 6(b), 8 and 13 of this Agreement shall remain in full
force and effect in perpetuity.

     14.  Remedies. (a)   SMS and Sodexho acknowledge and agree that money
damages would be inadequate relief for any breach or threatened breach by the
other of its obligations hereunder, and that upon such breach, the non-breaching
party shall be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief for any breach
or threatened breach thereof.

     (b)  SMS acknowledges that the failure by SMS to cease use of the Tradename
after termination of the License, the use by SMS of the Tradename in any way
that disparages such Tradename, or the attempt by SMS to assign its rights in
violation of this Agreement will result in immediate and irreparable damage to
Sodexho. SMS acknowledges and admits that there is no adequate remedy at law for
such breaches of this Agreement, and SMS agrees that in the event of such
breaches (individually or collectively), Sodexho shall be entitled to equitable
relief by way of a preliminary injunction and such other relief as any court
with jurisdiction may deem just and proper.

      15. Severability. The invalidity or partial invalidity or unenforceability
of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or
enforceability of any other provisions.

      16. Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be construed under and enforced in
accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without giving effect
to conflict of law principles.

      17. Attorneys' Fees. If any party commences an action against another
party with respect to this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action shall
be entitled to an award of reasonable costs and expenses of litigation,
including reasonable attorneys' fees, to be paid by the non-prevailing party.

      18. Entire Agreement; Termination of Prior Agreement.

      (a) This Agreement (together with the other Transaction Documents)
constitutes the entire agreement and understanding among the parties with
respect to its subject matter and is 

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
intended as a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of their agreement.
To the extent that this Agreement conflicts with any prior or contemporaneous
agreement or understanding related to the subject matter hereof, the terms of
this Agreement shall control.

     (b) Sodexho agrees that, effective as of the date hereof, the Royalty
Agreement dated as of September 1, 1994 between Sodexho and Sodexho USA, Inc.
shall terminate pursuant to the Termination attached as Appendix B hereto.

     19. Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended, supplemented or modified
in any respect except by written agreement between the parties, duly signed by
their respective authorized representatives. In addition, any material
amendment, supplement or modification to this Agreement shall require the
approval of the Independent Directors.

     20. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all such
counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

     21. Consent to Jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto hereby consents to
the exclusive jurisdiction of a federal court of the United States of America
sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, or, if subject matter
jurisdiction is unavailable, a New York state court sitting in the City of New
York, Borough of Manhattan (each a "New York Court"), over any suit, action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement. Each party hereto
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which
it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue in any such New York Court
or that any such proceeding which is brought in accordance with this Section has
been brought in an inconvenient forum. Subject to applicable law, process in any
such proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within
or without the jurisdiction of any such New York Court. Without limiting the
foregoing and subject to applicable law, each party agrees that service of
process on such party as provided in Section 23 shall be deemed effective
service of process on such party. Nothing herein shall affect the right of any
party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or at equity
or to enforce in any lawful manner a judgment obtained in one jurisdiction in
any other jurisdiction. Each party hereby agrees to waive its respective rights
to a jury trial of any claim or cause of action based upon or arising out of
this Agreement.

     22. Waiver. SMS may specifically waive any breach of this Agreement by
Sodexho and Sodexho may waive any breach of this Agreement by SMS; provided,
however, that no such waiver shall be deemed effective unless in writing, signed
by the waiving party, and specifically designating the breach waived. No waiver
shall constitute a continuing waiver of similar or other breaches.

     23. Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in
writing and shall be delivered by hand, by facsimile, delivered by nationally
recognized overnight courier, or mailed by registered or certified mail (return
receipt requested) to the parties at the following addresses (or at such other
addresses for a party as shall be specified by like notice) and shall be deemed
given on the date on which such notice is received:

     STOCKHOLDER AGREEMENT dated as of March 27, 1998 between Sodexho Marriott
Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("SMS"), and Sodexho Alliance, S.A., a
societe anonyme organized under the laws of France ("SODEXHO").

     WHEREAS, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of September

     WHEREAS, the parties hereto wish to enter into this Agreement to govern
certain of their rights and obligations after consummation of the transactions

                        Corporate Governance; Covenants

     Section 2.1.  Composition of the Board.  (a) The Board shall consist of
eight members as follows: three Sodexho Designees (as defined below), two
Independent Directors (as defined below), the person who is then serving as the
Chief Executive Officer of SMS (subject to Section 2.01(g)) and two New Marriott
Directors (as defined below).

       (b)  So long as Sodexho and its Affiliates own at least 20% of the
outstanding Common Stock, Sodexho shall be entitled to designate three members
of the Board.  At such time as Sodexho and its Affiliates own less than 20% of
the outstanding Common Stock, Sodexho shall be entitled to designate two members
of the Board so long as either (i) Sodexho and its Affiliates own at least 10%
of the outstanding Common Stock or (ii) the Royalty Agreement remains in full
force and effect.  At such time as Sodexho and its Affiliates own less than 10%
of the outstanding Common Stock and the Royalty Agreement has terminated,
Sodexho's right to designate members of the Board pursuant to this Section
2.01(b) shall terminate.  Members of the Board that Sodexho is entitled to
designate pursuant to this Section 2.01(b) shall constitute "SODEXHO DESIGNEES".
In the event that after the third anniversary of the date hereof the total Board
does not consist of eight members, the number of Board members that Sodexho
shall have the right to designate shall be adjusted as follows: (i) in lieu of
three members, the lowest number of members that would result Sodexho Designees
representing at least 37.5% of the total Board and (ii) in lieu of two members,
the lowest number of members that would result in Sodexho Designees representing
at least 25% of the Board.  Initially the Sodexho Designees shall be Pierre
Bellon, Bernard Carton and Edouard de Royere.

       (c)  A person will qualify as an "INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR" if he or she (i)
is not an employee of SMS, Sodexho, New Marriott or any of their Subsidiaries,
(ii) is not otherwise receiving, directly or indirectly, compensation for
services that is material to such person from SMS, Sodexho, New Marriott or any
of their Subsidiaries and (iii) is not a member of the immediate family (as
defined in Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act) of any person
described in clauses (i) and (ii) above.  Initially, the Independent Directors
shall be Doctor R. Crants and Daniel J. Altobello.

       (d)  "NEW MARRIOTT DIRECTORS" shall mean (i) initially, William J. Shaw
and John W. Marriott III and (ii) thereafter, any Board members who fill the
Board positions initially filled by such persons.

       (e)  SMS and Sodexho shall use their best efforts (including using their
best efforts to cause SMS to call a special meeting of stockholders) in order to
ensure that the composition of the Board is as set forth in any provisions of
Sections 2.01 and 2.02 then in force.

       (f)  Sodexho may at any time revoke the designation as to a particular
individual who is a Sodexho Designee, in which case Sodexho and SMS will take
all actions reasonably necessary to effect the removal of such individual from
the Board as promptly as practicable.

       (g)  In the event that the Chief Executive Officer of SMS is (x) an
employee of Sodexho or any of its Subsidiaries, (y) otherwise receiving,
directly or indirectly, compensation for services that is material to such
person from Sodexho or any of its Subsidiaries or (z) a member of the immediate
family (as defined in Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K of the Securities Act) of
any person described in clauses (x) or (y) above:

                                       4
<PAGE>
 
            (i)  such Chief Executive Officer shall not be eligible to serve as
     a director in the Board seat otherwise intended for the Chief Executive
     Officer pursuant to Section 2.01(a) hereof; and

            (ii)  the individual that fills the vacancy on the Board created
     thereby shall be chosen according to SMS's Bylaws and shall be a person who
     qualifies as an Independent Director.

For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.01(g) shall not prohibit Sodexho from
designating such Chief Executive Officer to the Board as a Sodexho Designee.

     Section 2.2.  Vacancies.  In the event that, as a result of death,
disability, retirement, resignation, removal (with or without cause) or
otherwise, there shall exist or occur any vacancy of the Board, the provisions
of Section 2.01(g)(ii) and this Section 2.02 shall apply.

       (a)  If the director whose death, disability, retirement, resignation or
removal resulted in such vacancy was a Sodexho Designee, Sodexho may designate
another individual to fill such position and serve as a director of SMS.

       (b)  If the director whose death, disability, retirement, resignation or
removal resulted in such vacancy was an Independent Director, the individual
that fills such position and serves as a director of SMS shall be chosen
according to SMS's Bylaws and shall be a person who qualifies as an Independent
Director.

       (c)  If the director whose death, disability, retirement, resignation or
removal resulted in such vacancy was a New Marriott Director, the remaining New
Marriott Director (or the departing New Marriott Director causing such vacancy,
if each New Marriott Director resigns or otherwise no longer serves effective on
or about the same date) may designate another individual to fill such position
and serve as a director of SMS.  If such designation is not made within 15 days
after the vacancy occurs, the individual that fills such position and serves as
a director of SMS shall be chosen according to SMS's Bylaws and shall be a
person who qualifies as an Independent Director.

     Section 2.3.  Removal.  Sodexho agrees that if, at any time, it is then
entitled to vote for the removal of directors of SMS, it will not take such
action by written consent unless such removal shall be for Cause.  Removal for
"CAUSE" shall mean removal of a director because of such director's (a) willful
and continued failure to substantially perform his or her duties as a director
of SMS, (b) willful and continued conduct inconsistent with the good faith
exercise of his or her fiduciary obligations and which is significantly
injurious to SMS, monetarily or otherwise, or (c) conviction for, or guilty plea
to, a felony.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the person serving as Chief
Executive Officer of SMS is removed from such position in accordance with SMS's
Bylaws, Sodexho shall be permitted to take action by written consent to remove
such person as a director of SMS.

     Section 2.4.  Compensation Committee.    The Board will create a three-
member Compensation Committee which shall have the duties specified in SMS's
Bylaws.  The Compensation Committee shall consist of one Independent Director
who will serve as the Chairman of the committee, one Sodexho Designee and one
New Marriott Director.  The initial members of the Compensation Committee shall
be Doctor R. Crants (Chairman), Bernard Carton and William J. Shaw.

     Section 2.5.  Audit Committee.  The Board will create a three-member Audit
Committee which shall have the duties specified in SMS's Bylaws.  The initial
members of the Audit Committee shall be Daniel J. Altobello (Chairman), Doctor
R. Crants and Edouard de Royere.

     Section 2.6.  Determination as to Breach.  Any determination as to whether
Sodexho is in breach of this Article 2, and whether SMS should as a result
thereof pursue any remedies available to it under this Agreement or otherwise,
shall be made on behalf of SMS solely by the Independent Directors.

     Section 2.7.  Termination of Article 2.  Except for Sections 2.01(b),
2.01(e), 2.01(f) and 2.02(a), the provisions of this Article 2 shall terminate
and have no further force or effect on the third anniversary of the date hereof.

                                    Legends

     Section 3.1.  Legend on Share Certificates.  (a) In addition to any other
legend that may be required, each certificate for Registrable Securities that is
issued to Sodexho shall bear a legend in substantially the following form:

          "THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED
          OR QUALIFIED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY
          STATE SECURITIES LAW.  NO TRANSFER OR SALE OF THESE SECURITIES OR ANY
          INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE MADE WITHOUT SUCH REGISTRATION AND
          QUALIFICATION UNLESS THE ISSUER RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE
          HOLDER OF THESE SECURITIES REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER
          STATING THAT SUCH TRANSFER OR SALE DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION OR
          QUALIFICATION UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.  THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS
          CERTIFICATE ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS AS SET FORTH IN THE
          STOCKHOLDER AGREEMENT DATED AS OF MARCH 27, 1998, COPIES OF WHICH MAY
          BE OBTAINED UPON REQUEST FROM SODEXHO MARRIOTT SERVICES, INC. AND ANY
          SUCCESSOR THERETO."

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
       (b)  If any shares of Common Stock shall cease to be Registrable
Securities, SMS shall, upon the written request of the holder thereof, issue to
such holder a new certificate evidencing such shares without the first two
sentences of the legend required by Section 3.01(a) endorsed thereon.

                                   ARTICLE 4

                              Registration Rights

     Section 4.1.  Demand Registration.  (a) Registration on Request of Sodexho.
Upon the written request of Sodexho that SMS effect the registration under the
Securities Act of Registrable Securities having a fair market value of not less
than $50 million and specifying the intended method of disposition thereof, SMS
will thereupon will use its best efforts to effect, as promptly as practicable,
the registration under the Securities Act of such Registrable Securities to the
extent necessary to permit the disposition (in accordance with the intended
methods for such disposal) of such Registrable Securities; provided that:

            (i)  SMS shall not be obligated to file a registration statement
     relating to a registration request pursuant to this Section 4.01 at any
     time during the one-year period immediately following the effective date of
     another registration statement filed pursuant to this Section 4.01(a); and

            (ii)  with respect to any registration statement filed or to be
     filed pursuant to this Section 4.01 and not yet effective, if the Board
     (which for this purpose shall not include the Sodexho Designees) shall
     determine, in its good faith judgment, that to permit such registration
     statement to become effective (or, if no registration statement has yet
     been filed, to file such a registration statement) would be significantly
     disadvantageous (a "DISADVANTAGEOUS CONDITION") to SMS or its stockholders
     in light of the existence, or in anticipation, of any acquisition or
     financing activity involving SMS or the unavailability for reasons beyond
     SMS's control of any required financial statements, SMS may, for the
     shortest possible period (but in no event to exceed 180 days from the date
     of the Board's determination), cause such registration statement to be
     withdrawn or, if no registration statement has yet been filed, to delay the
     filing of such registration statement.

     Unless Sodexho shall consent in writing, no other party, including SMS,
shall be permitted to offer securities under any registration pursuant to this
Section 4.01(a).  Sodexho may, at any time prior to the effective date of the
registration statement relating to such registration, revoke such request,
without liability (except as set forth in Section 4.01(c)) by providing a
written notice to SMS revoking such request.  If SMS determines to take any
action pursuant to clause (ii) above, SMS shall deliver a notice to Sodexho to
such effect, and furnish to Sodexho a certified copy of the resolution of the
Board authorizing such action, together with a general description of the
applicable Disadvantageous Condition.  If any Disadvantageous Condition shall
cease to exist SMS shall promptly notify Sodexho to such effect.  SMS shall, if
any registration statement shall have been withdrawn, at the end of the period
(not to exceed 180

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
days) referred to in clause (ii) above (or, if earlier, at such time as it in
good faith deems appropriate) file a new registration statement covering the
Registrable Securities that were covered by such withdrawn registration
statement, and the effectiveness of such registration statement shall be
maintained for such time as may be necessary so that the period of effectiveness
of such new registration statement, when aggregated with the period during which
such withdrawn registration statement was effective, shall be such time as may
be otherwise required by this Agreement.

       (b)  Registration Statement Form.  Registrations under this Section 4.01
shall be on such appropriate registration form of the Commission (i) as shall be
selected by SMS and as shall be reasonably acceptable to Sodexho and (ii) as
shall permit the disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with
the method or methods of disposition intended on the part of Sodexho.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if, pursuant to a registration
request under this Section 4.01, (x) SMS proposes to effect registration by
filing a registration statement on Form S-3 (or any successor or similar short-
form registration statement), (y) such registration is in connection with an
underwritten Public Offering and (z) the managing underwriter shall advise SMS
in writing that, in its opinion, the use of another form of registration
statement is of material importance to the success of such proposed offering,
then such registration shall be effected on such other form.

       (c)  Expenses.  SMS shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection
with the registrations which are requested and become effective pursuant to this
Section 4.01, provided that after four such registrations have been requested
and become effective, Sodexho shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection
with subsequent registrations pursuant to this Section 4.01.  Sodexho shall pay
all underwriting discounts and commissions, the fees and disbursements of
special counsel designated to represent Sodexho,  its out-of-pocket expenses and
transfer taxes, if any, relating to the sale or disposition of Sodexho's
Registrable Securities pursuant to a registration statement requested pursuant
to this Section 4.01.  SMS shall not be liable for Registration Expenses in
connection with a registration that shall not have become effective due to a
revocation by Sodexho requesting such registration under this Section 4.01, and
such Registration Expenses shall be borne by Sodexho.

       (d)  Effective Registration Statement.  A registration requested pursuant
to this Section 4.01 shall not be deemed to have been effected unless the
registration statement relating thereto has been effective (and not subject to
any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the Commission or
other governmental agency or court for any reason) for a period of 180 days
following the date on which such registration statement was declared effective
or such shorter period which will terminate when all Registrable Securities
covered by such registration statement have been sold.

       (e)  Priority Participation in Requested Registrations.  If a
registration pursuant to this Section 4.01 involves an underwritten Public
Offering and the managing underwriter shall advise SMS that, in its view, the
number or proposed mix of equity securities requested to be included in such
registration (including securities which SMS requests to be included which are
not

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
Registrable Securities) exceeds the largest number or appropriate mix of
securities which can be sold without having an adverse effect on such offering
(the "MAXIMUM OFFERING SIZE"), including the price at which such securities can
be sold, SMS will include in such registration, in the priority listed below,
securities up to the Maximum Offering Size:

            (i)  first, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in
     such registration pursuant to Sections 4.01(a)(i) by Sodexho; and

            (ii)  second, securities to be sold for the account of other Persons
     (including SMS), with such priorities among them as the SMS shall
     determine.

     Section 4.2.  Incidental Registration. (a) If SMS at any time proposes
to register any of its equity securities (the "PRIORITY SECURITIES") under the
Securities Act (other than a registration (i) on Form S-8 or S-4 or any
successor or similar forms, (ii) relating to Common Stock issuable upon exercise
of employee stock options or in connection with any employee benefit or similar
plan of SMS, (iii) in connection with a direct or indirect acquisition by SMS of
another Person or (iv) pursuant to a shelf registration of securities pursuant
to Rule 415 under the Securities Act), whether or not for sale for its own
account, in a manner which would permit registration of Registrable Securities
for sale to the public under the Securities Act, it will each such time, subject
to the provisions of Section 4.02(b), give prompt written notice to Sodexho of
its intention to do so at least 30 days prior to the anticipated filing date of
the registration statement relating to such registration.  Any such notice shall
offer Sodexho the opportunity to include in such registration such number of
Registrable Securities as Sodexho may request.  Upon the written request of
Sodexho within 15 days after the receipt of notice from SMS (which request shall
specify the number of Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of and the
intended method of disposition thereof), SMS will use its best efforts to effect
the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities which
SMS has been so requested to register by Sodexho, to the extent required to
permit the disposition (in accordance with such intended methods thereof) of the
Registrable Securities so to be registered; provided that (i) if such
registration involves an underwritten Public Offering, Sodexho must sell its
Registrable Securities to the underwriters selected by SMS on the same terms and
conditions as apply to SMS and (ii) if, at any time after giving written notice
of its intention to register any securities pursuant to this Section 4.02(a) and
prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection
with such registration, SMS shall determine for any reason not to register such
securities, SMS shall give written notice to Sodexho and shall be relieved of
its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such
registration.  If a registration pursuant to this Section 4.02(a) involves an
underwritten Public Offering, Sodexho may elect, in writing not less than 5
Business Days prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in
connection with such registration, not to register such securities in connection
with such registration.  No registration effected under this Section 4.02 shall
relieve SMS of its obligations to effect registrations upon request under
Section 4.01.  SMS will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with each
registration of Registrable Securities requested pursuant to this Section 4.02,
and Sodexho shall pay all underwriting discounts and commissions, the fees and
disbursements of special counsel designated to represent Sodexho, its out-of-
pocket expenses and

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
transfer taxes, if any, relating to the sale or disposition of Sodexho's
Registrable Securities pursuant to a registration statement effected pursuant to
this Section 4.02.

       (b)  Priority in Incidental Registrations.  If a registration pursuant to
this Section 4.02 involves an underwritten Public Offering and the managing
underwriter shall advise SMS that, in its view, the number or proposed mix of
equity securities (including all Registrable Securities) which SMS, Sodexho and
any other Persons, intend to include in such registration exceeds the Maximum
Offering Size, SMS will include in such registration, in the priority listed
below, securities up to the Maximum Offering Size:

            (i)  first, securities to be sold for SMS's own account;

            (ii)  second, Registrable Securities requested to be included in
     such registration by Sodexho pursuant to Section 4.02(a).

     Section 4.3.  Holdback Agreements. (a) If any registration of
Registrable Securities shall be in connection with an underwritten Public
Offering, Sodexho agrees not to effect any public sale or distribution,
including any sale pursuant to Rule 144, of any Registrable Securities, (other
than as part of such Public Offering) during the 14 days prior to, and during
the 90 day period beginning on, the effective date of such registration
statement (except as part of such registration); provided that Sodexho has
received written notice of such registration at least 2 Business Days prior to
the anticipated beginning of the 14 day period referred to above.

       (b)  If any registration of Registrable Securities shall be in connection
with an underwritten Public Offering, SMS agrees (i) not to effect any public
sale or distribution of any of its securities during the 14 days prior to, and
during the 90 day period beginning on, the effective date of such registration
statement (except as part of such registration) and (ii) that any agreement
entered into after the date of this Agreement pursuant to which SMS issues or
agrees to issue any privately placed securities shall contain a provision under
which holders of such securities agree not to effect any public sale or
distribution of any such securities during the periods described in (i) above,
in each case including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 (except as part of any such
registration, if permitted); provided that the provisions of this paragraph (b)
shall not prevent the conversion or exchange of any securities pursuant to their
terms into or for other securities.

     Section 4.4. Registration Procedures. Whenever Sodexho requests that
any Registrable Securities be registered pursuant to Section 4.01 or 4.02, SMS
shall, subject to the provisions of such Sections, use its best efforts to
effect the registration and the sale of such Registrable Securities in
accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof as quickly as
practicable, and in connection with any such request:

       (a)  SMS will as expeditiously as possible prepare and file with the
Commission a registration statement on the requisite form, subject to Section
4.01(b), and use its best efforts to cause such filed registration statement to
become and remain effective for the period set forth in Section 4.01(d).

                                       10
<PAGE>
 
       (b)  SMS will, if requested, prior to filing a registration statement or
prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, furnish to Sodexho and each
underwriter, if any, of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration
statement copies of such registration statement as proposed to be filed, and
thereafter SMS will furnish to Sodexho and such underwriter, if any, such number
of copies of such registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto
(in each case including all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by
reference therein), the prospectus included in such registration statement
(including each preliminary prospectus) and such other documents as Sodexho or
such underwriter may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition
of the Registrable Securities owned by Sodexho.  Sodexho shall have the right to
request that SMS modify any information contained in such registration
statement, amendment and supplement thereto pertaining to Sodexho and SMS shall
use all reasonable efforts to comply with such request; provided that SMS shall
not have any obligation to so modify any information if so doing would cause the
prospectus to contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state
any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading.

       (c)  After the filing of the registration statement, SMS will promptly
notify Sodexho of any stop order issued or threatened by the Commission and take
all reasonable actions required to prevent the entry of such stop order or to
remove it if entered.

       (d)  SMS will use its best efforts (i) to register or qualify the
Registrable Securities under such other securities or blue sky laws of such
jurisdictions in the United States as Sodexho (in light of its intended plan of
distribution) requests and (ii) to cause such Registrable Securities to be
registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities
as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of SMS and do any
and all other acts and things that may be reasonably necessary or advisable to
enable Sodexho to consummate the disposition of its Registrable Securities;
provided that SMS will not be required (x) to qualify generally to do business
in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for
this paragraph (d), (y) to subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction
or (z) to consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction.

       (e)  SMS will immediately notify Sodexho, at any time when a prospectus
relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the
occurrence of an event requiring the preparation of a supplement or amendment to
such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such
Registrable Securities, such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of
a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and promptly make
available to Sodexho and file with the Commission any such supplement or
amendment.

       (f)  SMS will enter into customary agreements (including an underwriting
agreement in customary form) and take such other actions as are reasonably
required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable
Securities.

                                       11
<PAGE>
 
       (g)  Upon execution of confidentiality agreements in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to SMS, SMS will make available for inspection by
Sodexho, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such
registration statement and any attorney, accountant or other professional
retained by Sodexho or such underwriter (collectively, the "INSPECTORS"), all
financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of SMS
(collectively, the "RECORDS") as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to
exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause SMS's officers, directors
and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any Inspectors
in connection with such registration statement.

       (h)  SMS will furnish to Sodexho and to each underwriter, if any, a
signed counterpart of a comfort letter or comfort letters from SMS's independent
public accountants, each in customary form and covering such matters of the type
customarily covered by comfort letters as Sodexho or the managing underwriter
therefor reasonably requests.

       (i)  SMS will otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all
applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and make available to
Sodexho, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering a
period of 12 months, beginning within three months after the effective date of
the registration statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the
provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.

       (j)  SMS will use its best efforts to cause all such Registrable
Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities
issued by SMS are then listed.

     SMS may require Sodexho promptly to furnish in writing to SMS such
information regarding the distribution of the Registrable Securities as SMS may
from time to time reasonably request and such other information as may be
legally required in connection with such registration.

     Sodexho agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from SMS of the happening
of any event of the kind described in Section 4.04(e), Sodexho will forthwith
discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration
statement covering such Registrable Securities until Sodexho's receipt of the
copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section
4.04(e), and, if so directed by SMS, Sodexho will deliver to SMS all copies of
the most recent prospectus covering such Registrable Securities at the time of
receipt of such notice.  In the event SMS shall give such notice, SMS shall
extend the period during which the effectiveness of such registration statement
shall be maintained (including the period referred to in Section 4.04(a) hereof)
by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the
giving of notice pursuant to Section 4.04(e) to the date when SMS shall make
available to Sodexho a prospectus supplemented or amended to conform with the
requirements of Section 4.04(e).

     SMS shall not be liable for the failure of any such registration to become
effective provided that SMS complies with its obligations hereunder.

     Section 4.5.  Indemnification by SMS. SMS agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless Sodexho, its officers, directors and agents, and each Person, if any,
who controls Sodexho within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or
Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any and all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities and expenses caused by any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement or
prospectus relating to the Registrable Securities (as amended or supplemented if
SMS shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) or any
preliminary prospectus, or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or expenses are caused by any such untrue statement or
omission or alleged untrue statement or omission based upon information
furnished in writing to SMS by Sodexho or on Sodexho's behalf expressly for use
therein; provided that with respect to any untrue statement or omission or
alleged untrue statement or omission made in any preliminary prospectus, or in
any prospectus, as the case may be, the indemnity agreement contained in this
Section 4.05 shall not apply to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or expense results from the fact that a current copy of the prospectus
(or, in the case of a prospectus, the prospectus as amended or supplemented) was
not sent or given to the Person asserting any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or expense at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of the
Registrable Securities concerned to such Person if it is determined that SMS has
provided such prospectus to Sodexho and it was the responsibility of Sodexho to
provide such Person with a current copy of the prospectus (or such amended or
supplemented prospectus, as the case may be) and such current copy of the
prospectus (or such amended or supplemented prospectus, as the case may be)
would have cured the defect giving rise to such loss, claim, damage, liability
or expense.  SMS also agrees to indemnify any underwriters of the Registrable
Securities, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such
underwriters on substantially the same basis as that of the indemnification of
Sodexho provided in this Section 4.05, or on any other basis agreed to by such
underwriters.

     Section 4.6.  Indemnification by Sodexho of Registrable Securities.
Sodexho agrees to indemnify and hold harmless SMS, its officers, directors and
agents and each Person, if any, who controls SMS within the meaning of Section
15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as
the foregoing indemnity from SMS to Sodexho, but only (i) with respect to
information furnished in writing by Sodexho or on Sodexho's behalf expressly for
use in any registration statement or prospectus relating to the Registrable
Securities, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any preliminary
prospectus or (ii) to the extent that any loss, claim, damage, liability or
expense described in Section 4.05 results from the fact that a current copy of
the prospectus (or, in the case of a prospectus, the prospectus as amended or
supplemented) was not sent or given to the Person asserting any such loss,
claim, damage, liability or expense at or prior to the written confirmation of
the sale of the Registrable Securities concerned to such Person if it is
determined that it was the responsibility of Sodexho to provide such Person with
a current copy of the prospectus (or such amended or supplemented prospectus, as
the case may be) and such current copy of the prospectus (or such amended or
supplemented prospectus, as the case may be) would have cured the defect giving
rise to such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense.  Sodexho also agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless underwriters

                                       13
<PAGE>
 
of the Registrable Securities, their officers and directors and each Person who
controls such underwriters on substantially the same basis as that of the
indemnification of SMS provided in this Section 4.06. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, in no event shall Sodexho be liable under the provisions
of this Section 4.06 for an amount in excess of the aggregate net proceeds of
the sale of its Registrable Securities received by it.

     Section 4.7.  Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. In case any
proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted
involving any Person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to
Section 4.05 or 4.06, such Person (an "INDEMNIFIED PARTY") shall promptly notify
the Person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the "INDEMNIFYING PARTY")
in writing and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof,
including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified
Party, and shall assume the payment of all fees and expenses.  In any such
proceeding, any Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own
counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of
such Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified
Party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii)
representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to
actual or potential differing interests between them.  It is understood that the
Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related
proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and
expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local
counsel) at any time for all such Indemnified Parties, and that all such fees
and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred.  In the case of any such
separate firm for the Indemnified Parties, such firm shall be designated in
writing by the Indemnified Parties.  The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable
for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but
if settled with such consent, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff,
the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnified
Parties from and against any loss or liability (to the extent stated above) by
reason of such settlement or judgment.  No Indemnifying Party shall, without the
prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any
pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or
could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such
Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of
such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such proceeding.

     Section 4.8.  Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this
Article 4 is unavailable to the Indemnified Parties in respect of any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein, then each Indemnifying Party,
in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount
paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (i) as between SMS and Sodexho on the one hand and the
underwriters on the other, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative benefits received by SMS and Sodexho on the one hand and the
underwriters on the other from the offering of the Registrable Securities, or if
such allocation is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits but also the relative
fault of SMS and Sodexho on the one hand and of the underwriters on the other in
connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities, as well as

                                       14
<PAGE>
 
any other relevant equitable considerations and (ii) as between SMS on the one
hand and Sodexho, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
fault of SMS and Sodexho in connection with such statements or omissions, as
well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits
received by SMS and Sodexho on the one hand and the underwriters on the other
shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total proceeds from the
offering (net of underwriting discounts and commissions but before deducting
expenses) received by SMS and Sodexho bear to the total underwriting discounts
and commissions received by the underwriters, in each case as set forth in the
table on the cover page of the prospectus. The relative fault of SMS and Sodexho
on the one hand and of the underwriters on the other shall be determined by
reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact
relates to information supplied by SMS and Sodexho or by the underwriters. The
relative fault of SMS on the one hand and Sodexho on the other shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state
a material fact relates to information supplied by such party, and the parties'
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or
prevent such statement or omission.

     SMS and Sodexho agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contribution pursuant to this Section 4.08 were determined by pro rata
allocation (even if the underwriters were treated as one entity for such
purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the
equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph.
The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the losses,
claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding
paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth
above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party
in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.08, no underwriter shall be
required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total
price at which the Registrable Securities underwritten by it and distributed to
the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which
such underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission, and Sodexho shall not
be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total
price at which its Registrable Securities were offered to the public exceeds the
amount of any damages which Sodexho has otherwise been required to pay by reason
of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.  No
Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section
11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person
who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

     Section 4.9.  Participation in Public Offering. Sodexho may not
participate in any underwritten Public Offering hereunder unless Sodexho (i)
agrees to sell its Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any
underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to approve
such arrangements and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of
attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably
required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements and this Article 4.

     Section 4.10.  Termination of Registration Rights.  The registration rights
for the Registrable Securities pursuant to this Article 4 shall terminate when
Sodexho shall be able to sell its shares of Common Stock under section (k) of
Rule 144 (or any similar provision then in force permitting the sale of
restricted securities without limitation on the amount of securities sold or the
manner of sale, and without requirements as to current public information about
the issuer thereof or notice of the proposed sale).

                                   ARTICLE 5

                                 Miscellaneous

construction of any provisions hereof.

into any agreement with respect to its securities which is inconsistent with, or
grant rights superior to the rights granted to Sodexho pursuant to, this
Agreement.

     Section 5.3.  Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Merger Agreement,
the Distribution Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (as defined in
the Merger Agreement) to which SMS and Sodexho are party constitute the entire
agreement and understanding of the parties hereto or thereto in respect of the
subject matter contained herein, and there are no restrictions, promises,
representations, warranties, covenants, or undertakings with respect to the
subject matter hereof or thereof, other than those expressly set forth or
referred to herein.  This Agreement, the Merger Agreement, the Distribution
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which SMS and Sodexho are party
supersede all prior agreements and understandings between the parties hereto
with respect to the subject matter hereof.

     Section 5.4.  Notices. All notices, requests and other communications to
any party hereunder shall be in writing (including facsimile) and shall be

irrevocably submits to jurisdiction of such courts in such action or proceeding.
Subject to applicable law, process in any such action or proceeding may be

WITH RESPECT TO A PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT, EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES
AND RELEASES TO THE OTHER PARTIES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, AND AGREES THAT
IT WILL NOT SEEK A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING.

     Section 5.6.  Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
provisions of this Agreement in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity,
legality or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in such
jurisdiction or the validity, legality or enforceability of this Agreement,

all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be enforceable to the
fullest extent permitted by law.

     Section 5.7.  Termination. Subject to Sections 2.07 and 4.10, this
Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect with respect to
Sodexho when Sodexho ceases to hold any shares of Common Stock; provided that
the provisions of Sections 5.05 and 5.12 shall survive any termination hereof.

     Section 5.8.  Successors; Assigns; Transferees. The provisions of this
Agreement shall be binding upon and accrue to the benefit of the parties hereto
and their respective successors and permitted assigns. If Sodexho shall transfer
the Registrable Securities (other than pursuant to a public sale), (i) it may
assign to the acquiror of such securities any of its rights under this Agreement
and (ii) the acquiror shall agree in writing to bound by the terms and
conditions of this Agreement.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence,
neither this Agreement nor any right, remedy, obligation or liability arising

than the parties hereto, and their respective successors and permitted assigns,
any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this
Agreement.

     Section 5.9.  Amendments; Waivers. No failure or delay on the part of
either party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate

is to be effective.  No provision of this Agreement may be amended or otherwise

<PAGE>
 
spin-off, partial or complete liquidation, stock dividend, split-up, sale of
assets, distribution to stockholders or combination of shares of Common Stock or
any other change in capital structure of SMS, appropriate adjustments shall be
made with respect to the relevant provisions of this Agreement so as to fairly
and equitably preserve, as far as practicable, the original rights and
obligations of the parties hereto under this Agreement.

     Section 5.12.  Remedies. Each party hereto acknowledges that the
remedies at law of the other parties for a breach or threatened breach of this
Agreement would be inadequate and, in recognition of this fact, any party to
this Agreement, without posting any bond, and in addition to all other remedies
which may be available, shall be entitled to obtain equitable relief in the form
of specific performance, a temporary restraining order, a temporary or permanent
injunction or any other equitable remedy which may then be available.

     Section 5.13.  Confidentiality. Sodexho will hold, and will use its best
efforts to cause its officers, directors, employees, accountants, counsel,
consultants, advisors and agents (all such persons being collectively referred
to as "REPRESENTATIVES"), to hold, in confidence, unless compelled to disclose
by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of law, all
confidential information concerning SMS and its Subsidiaries, except to the
extent that such information can be shown to have been (i) previously known on a
nonconfidential basis by Sodexho, (ii) in the public domain through no fault of
Sodexho or (iii) later lawfully acquired by Sodexho from sources other than SMS
who, to the actual knowledge of the recipient, are not subject to a
confidentiality agreement; provided that Sodexho and its Representatives may
disclose such information (x) to any Controlled Entity of Sodexho or (y) to any
other Person (other than the Universal Services Partnership and any of its
Subsidiaries or Affiliates, including the Universal/Doyon Joint Venture) so long
as such Person is advised of the confidential nature of the information and
agrees to keep such information confidential on a basis consistent with the
provisions hereof.  The obligation of Sodexho to hold any such information in
confidence shall be satisfied if it exercises the same care with respect to such
