NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements present the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of Marriott International, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, we, us or the Company).

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have not been audited. We have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. We believe the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. You should, however, read the condensed consolidated financial statements in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes to those financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. Certain terms not otherwise defined in this quarterly report have the meanings specified in that Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods and the disclosures of contingent liabilities. Accordingly, ultimate results could differ from those estimates. We have reclassified certain prior year amounts to conform to our 2005 presentation.

In our opinion, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of June 17, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the results of our operations for the twelve and twenty-four weeks ended June 17, 2005 and June 18, 2004 and our cash flows for the twenty-four weeks ended June 17, 2005 and June 18, 2004. Interim results may not be indicative of fiscal year performance because of seasonal and short-term variations. We have eliminated all material intercompany transactions and balances between entities consolidated in these financial statements.

2. Earnings Per Share

The table below illustrates the reconciliation of the earnings and number of shares used in the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations.

(in millions, except per share amounts)	Twelve Weeks Ended				Twenty-Four Weeks Ended
	June 17, 2005		June 18, 2004		June 17, 2005		June 18, 2004

Convertible debt		—		0.5		—		0.7
Shares for diluted earnings per share		234.5		240.3		237.8		241.5
Diluted earnings per share	$	0.59	$	0.67	$	1.19	$	1.14

We compute the effect of dilutive securities using the treasury stock method and average market prices during the period.

3. Share-Based Compensation

We have several share-based employee compensation plans that we account for using the intrinsic value method under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Accordingly, we do not reflect share-based employee compensation cost in net income for our Stock Option Program, the Supplemental Executive Stock Option awards or the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

6

The following table shows share-based employee compensation costs we recognized in the twelve and twenty-four weeks ended June 17, 2005 and June 18, 2004, and our deferred compensation balance at June 17, 2005 and December 31, 2004.

($ in millions)	Reported Share-Based Compensation, Net of Tax
	Twelve Weeks Ended				Twenty-Four Weeks Ended
	June 17, 2005		June 18, 2004		June 17, 2005		June 18, 2004
Deferred share grants	$	1	$	1	$	2	$	2
Restricted share grants		1		1		1		2
Restricted stock units		8		6		15		11
	$	10	$	8	$	18	$	15

($ in millions)	Deferred Compensation Balance
	June 17, 2005		December 31, 2004
Deferred share grants	$	11	$	14
Restricted share grants		9		10
Restricted stock units		149		84
	$	169	$	108

During the first half of 2005, we granted approximately 1.4 million units (each representing one share of our Class A common stock) under the restricted stock unit program.

The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share as if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” to share-based employee compensation. We have included the impact of measured but unrecognized compensation cost and excess tax benefits credited to additional paid-in-capital in the calculation of the diluted pro forma shares for all periods presented. In addition, we have included the estimated impact of reimbursements from third parties.

($ in millions, except per share amounts)	Twelve Weeks Ended						Twenty-Four Weeks Ended

4. Comprehensive Income and Capital Structure

Our total comprehensive income was $130 million and $161 million for the twelve weeks ended June 17, 2005 and June 18, 2004, respectively, and $273 million and $281 million, respectively, for the twenty-four weeks ended June 17, 2005 and June 18, 2004.

For the twenty-four weeks ended June 17, 2005, approximately 3.1 million shares of our Class A Common Stock were issued as a result of exercised options. In addition, during the first two quarters of 2005 we repurchased approximately 12.3 million shares of our Class A Common Stock at an average price of $63.86 per share.

5. Business Segments

We are a diversified hospitality company with operations in five business segments:

• Full-Service Lodging, which includes Marriott Hotels & Resorts, The Ritz-Carlton, Renaissance Hotels & Resorts and Bulgari Hotels & Resorts;

• Select-Service Lodging, which includes Courtyard, Fairfield Inn and SpringHill Suites;

• Extended-Stay Lodging, which includes Residence Inn, TownePlace Suites, Marriott ExecuStay and Marriott Executive Apartments;

• Timeshare, which includes the development, marketing, operation and ownership of timeshare properties under the Marriott Vacation Club International, The Ritz-Carlton Club, Marriott Grand Residence Club and Horizons by Marriott Vacation Club International brands; and

• Synthetic Fuel, which includes our interest in the operation of coal-based synthetic fuel production facilities.

We evaluate the performance of our segments based primarily on the results of the segment without allocating corporate expenses, interest income, provision for loan losses, and interest expense. With the exception of the Synthetic Fuel segment, we do not allocate income taxes to our segments. As timeshare note sales are an integral part of the timeshare business we include timeshare note sale gains in our Timeshare segment results, and we allocate other gains as well as equity in earnings (losses) from our joint ventures and divisional general, administrative and other expenses to each of our segments.

Our tax benefit of $20 million in the quarter ended June 17, 2005 includes a tax provision of $48 million before the impact of the Synthetic Fuel segment, more than offset by a $9 million tax benefit associated with the Synthetic Fuel segment losses and $59 million of synthetic fuel tax credits. Our tax provision of $33 million in the quarter ended June 18, 2004 includes a tax provision of $71 million before the impact of the Synthetic Fuel segment, partially offset by a $3 million tax benefit associated with the Synthetic Fuel segment losses and $35 million of synthetic fuel tax credits. Our tax benefit of $15 million for the first half of 2005 includes a tax provision of $115 million before the impact of the Synthetic Fuel segment, more than offset by a $24 million tax benefit associated with the Synthetic Fuel segment losses and $106 million of synthetic fuel tax credits. Our tax provision of $51 million in the first two quarters of 2004 includes a tax provision of $128 million before the impact of the Synthetic Fuel segment, partially offset by a $13 million tax benefit associated with the Synthetic Fuel segment losses and $64 million of synthetic fuel tax credits.

We have aggregated the brands and businesses presented within each of our segments considering their similar economic characteristics, types of customers, distribution channels and the regulatory business environment of the brands and operations within each segment.

6. Contingencies

Guarantees

We issue guarantees to certain lenders and hotel owners primarily to obtain long-term management contracts. The guarantees generally have a stated maximum amount of funding and a term of five years or less. The terms of guarantees to lenders generally require us to fund if cash flows from hotel operations are inadequate to cover annual debt service or to repay the loan at the end of the term. The terms of the guarantees to hotel owners generally require us to fund if the hotels do not attain specified levels of operating profit. Guarantee fundings to lenders and hotel owners are generally recoverable as loans and are generally repayable to us out of future hotel cash flows and/or proceeds from the sale of hotels.

We also enter into project completion guarantees with certain lenders in conjunction with hotels and timeshare units that we or our joint venture partners are building.

The maximum potential amount of future fundings for guarantees where we are the primary obligor and the carrying amount of the liability for expected future fundings at June 17, 2005, are as follows:

($ in millions) Guarantee Type	Maximum Potential Amount of Future Fundings		Liability for Future Fundings at June 17, 2005
Debt service	$	112	$	6
Operating profit		246		20
Project completion		26		—
Other		73		3
Total guarantees where Marriott International is the primary obligor	$	457	$	29

Our guarantees of $457 million listed above include $75 million for guarantees that will not be in effect until the underlying hotels open and we begin to manage the properties. The $75 million of guarantees not in effect is comprised of $61 million of operating profit guarantees and $14 million of debt service guarantees.

In addition to the guarantees noted above, in conjunction with financing obtained for specific projects or properties owned by joint ventures in which we are a party, we may provide industry standard indemnifications to the lender for loss, liability, or damage occurring as a result of the actions of the other joint venture owner or our own actions.

The guarantees of $457 million in the table above also do not include $339 million of guarantees related to Senior Living Services lease obligations and lifecare bonds for which we are secondarily liable. Sunrise Senior Living, Inc. (“Sunrise”) is the primary obligor of the leases and a portion of the lifecare bonds, and CNL Retirement Properties, Inc. (“CNL”) is the primary obligor of the remainder of the lifecare bonds. Prior to the sale of the Senior Living Services business in 2003, these pre-existing guarantees were guarantees by the Company of obligations of consolidated Senior Living Services subsidiaries. Sunrise and CNL have indemnified us for any guarantee fundings we may be called on to make in connection with these lease obligations and lifecare bonds. We do not expect to fund under the guarantees.

Additionally, the guarantees of $457 million in the table above do not include lease obligations for which we became secondarily liable when we acquired the Renaissance Hotel Group N.V. in 1997, consisting of annual rent payments of approximately $56 million and total remaining rent payments through the initial term plus available extensions of approximately $1.46 billion. We are also secondarily obligated for real estate taxes and other charges associated with the leases. Third parties have severally indemnified us for all payments we may be required to make in connection with these obligations. Since we assumed the guarantees, we have not funded any amounts, and we do not expect to fund any amounts under these guarantees in the future. For additional information, see our discussion under the heading “CTF Holdings Ltd.” in Footnote 9, “Acquisitions and Dispositions” later in this report.

10

Commitments and Letters of Credit

In addition to the guarantees noted above, as of June 17, 2005, we had extended approximately $167 million of loan commitments to owners of lodging properties, under which we expect to fund approximately $68 million by December 30, 2005, and $73 million in one to three years. We do not expect to fund the remaining $26 million of commitments, which expire as follows: $24 million in one to three years; and $2 million after five years. At June 17, 2005, we also have commitments to invest up to $33 million of equity for a minority interest in two partnerships that plan to purchase both full-service and select-service hotels in the United States.

At June 17, 2005, we also had $93 million of letters of credit outstanding on our behalf, the majority of which are related to our self-insurance programs. Surety bonds issued on our behalf as of June 17, 2005, totaled $563 million, the majority of which were requested by federal, state or local governments related to our timeshare and lodging operations and self-insurance programs.

Litigation and Arbitration

CTF/HPI arbitration and litigation. On April 8, 2002, we initiated an arbitration proceeding against CTF Hotel Holdings, Inc. and its affiliate, Hotel Property Investments (B.V.I.) Ltd. (“HPI”), in connection with a dispute over procurement and other issues for certain Renaissance hotels and resorts that we manage for CTF Hotel Holdings, Inc. and HPI. On April 12, 2002, CTF Hotel Holdings, Inc. filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Delaware against us and Avendra LLC, alleging that, in connection with procurement at 20 of those hotels, we engaged in improper acts of self-dealing, and claiming breach of fiduciary, contractual and other duties, fraud, misrepresentation, and violations of the RICO and the Robinson-Patman Acts. CTF Hotel Holdings, Inc. sought various remedies, including a stay of the arbitration proceedings against CTF Hotel Holdings, Inc. and unspecified actual, treble and punitive damages.

During the 2005 second quarter, we signed a purchase and sale agreement with CTF Holdings Ltd., the indirect parent company of CTF Hotel Holdings, Inc. As part of that transaction, we and CTF Holdings Ltd. and its subsidiaries agreed to dismiss all litigation pending between us, including litigation and arbitration involving CTF Hotel Holdings, Inc. and its affiliates described above. See Footnote No. 9, “Acquisitions and Dispositions” for additional information. On June 23, 2005, subsequent to the 2005 second quarter, we substantially completed the transaction, exchanged legal releases effective as of the closing date with CTF Holdings Ltd. and the litigation and arbitration between the two companies is now dismissed.

Synthetic Fuel

The tax credits available under Section 29 of the Internal Revenue Code for the production and sale of synthetic fuels were established by Congress to encourage the development of alternative domestic energy sources. Congress deemed that the incentives provided by Section 29 credits would not be necessary if the price of oil increased beyond certain thresholds as prices would then provide a more natural market for these alternative fuels. As a result, the tax credits available under Section 29 for the production and sale of synthetic fuel in any given calendar year are phased-out if the Reference Price of a barrel of oil for that year falls within a specified, inflation-adjusted price range. The Reference Price of a barrel of oil is an estimate of the annual average wellhead price per barrel of domestic crude oil and is determined for each calendar year by the Secretary of the Treasury by April 1 of the following year. In 2003 and 2004, the Reference Price was roughly $3.43 and $4.72 lower, respectively, than the average price for those years of the benchmark NYMEX futures contract for a barrel of light, sweet crude oil. The price range within which the credit is phased-out was set in 1980 and is adjusted annually for inflation. In 2004, the Reference Price phase-out range was $51.35 to $64.47. Because the Reference Price of a barrel of oil for 2004 was below that range, at $36.75, there was no reduction of the tax credits available for synthetic fuel produced and sold in 2004. We cannot predict with any accuracy the future price of a barrel of oil. If the Reference Price of a barrel of oil in 2005 or future years exceeds the applicable phase-out threshold for those years, the tax credits generated by our synthetic fuel facilities in those years could be reduced or eliminated and we could be required to reimburse our joint venture partner for excess earn-out payments and capital contributions received with respect to those years, which would have a negative impact on our financial statements.

11

In July 2004, Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) field auditors challenged the placed-in-service dates of three of our four synthetic fuel facilities. One of the conditions to qualify for tax credits under Section 29 of the Internal Revenue Code is that the production facility must have been placed in service before July 1, 1998. In June 2005 we were notified that the IRS National Office issued a Technical Advice Memorandum confirming that the three synthetic fuel facilities in question meet the placed-in-service requirement under Section 29 of the Internal Revenue Code.

7. Long-Term Debt

Our long-term debt at June 17, 2005, and December 31, 2004, consisted of the following:

($ in millions)	June 17, 2005			December 31, 2004
Senior Notes:

Other		119			84
		1,432			1,325
Less current portion		(225	)		(489	)
	$	1,207		$	836

As of the end of our 2005 second quarter, all debt, other than mortgage debt and $103 million of other debt, is unsecured.

We are party to a multicurrency revolving credit facility that provides for borrowings of up to $2 billion which we entered into in the second quarter of 2005 and expires in 2010. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus a spread, based on our public debt rating. Additionally, we pay annual fees on the facility at a rate also based on our public debt rating.

8. Asset Securitizations

In June 2005, we sold $196 million of notes receivable generated by our timeshare business in connection with the sale of timeshare intervals. In conjunction with the sale, we received net proceeds of $176 million, retained residual interests of $50 million, and recorded a gain of $29 million. We used the following key assumptions to measure the fair value of the residual interests: discount rate of 8.15 percent; expected annual prepayments, including defaults, of 19.16 percent; expected weighted average life of prepayable notes receivable, excluding prepayments and defaults, of 72 months; and expected weighted average life of prepayable notes receivable, including prepayments and defaults, of 37 months. Our key assumptions are based on our experience with other timeshare notes receivable that we originated.

9. Acquisitions and Dispositions

Marriott and Whitbread Joint Venture

We announced in the first quarter of 2005 that we had signed an agreement with Whitbread PLC (“Whitbread”) to establish a 50/50 joint venture to acquire Whitbread’s portfolio of 46 franchised Marriott and Renaissance hotels of over 8,000 rooms, and for us to take over management of the entire portfolio of hotels upon the transfer of the hotels to the new joint venture. Closing occurred in the 2005 second quarter.

Whitbread sold its interest in the 46 hotels to the joint venture for approximately £995 million. Whitbread received approximately £710 million in cash (including £620 million from senior debt proceeds) and 50 percent of the preferred and ordinary shares of the joint venture and non-voting deferred consideration shares valued at $285 million. We contributed approximately £90 million ($171 million) in the second quarter of 2005 for the remaining 50 percent of the preferred and ordinary shares of the joint venture. As the joint venture sells the hotels, our interest in the joint venture will be redeemed. The joint venture expects to sell properties to investors over the next two years subject to long-term management agreements with us.

CTF Holdings Ltd. (“CTF”)

During the 2005 second quarter, we signed a purchase and sale agreement with CTF to purchase 32 properties (in each case through a purchase of real estate, a purchase of the entity that owned the hotel, or an assignment of CTF’s leasehold rights) and certain joint venture interests from CTF for an aggregate price of $1,452 million. At that time, all of the properties were operated by us or our subsidiaries and included 29 Renaissance Hotels & Resorts brand properties and three Courtyard brand properties. The agreement permitted us to designate substitute purchasers at closing. Sunstone Hotel Investors, Inc. (“Sunstone”), Walton Street Capital, L.L.C. (“Walton Street”) and Tarsadia Hotels (“Tarsadia”) signed separate agreements with us to be substitute purchasers and acquire 15 hotels and certain joint venture interests from CTF for approximately $1 billion at the transaction’s closing. Sunstone agreed to purchase five hotels and one joint venture interest for $419 million, Walton Street agreed to purchase eight hotels for $578 million, and Tarsadia agreed to purchase two hotels for $29 million. Walton Street and Sunstone also agreed to invest a combined $68 million to further upgrade the 13 hotels they were acquiring and enter into new long-term management agreements with us.

The Walton Street, Sunstone, and Tarsadia closings took place on June 23, 2005, after the end of our second quarter. We continue to manage the hotels purchased by Walton Street and Sunstone under long-term agreements. The two hotels purchased by Tarsadia are being operated under short-term management and franchise agreements.

We also completed the purchase of 12 hotels from CTF, on June 23, 2005, for an aggregate price of $374 million and are currently discussing the sale of a number of these hotels with potential purchasers. Our purchase of the five remaining hotels and a joint venture interest, which represent $52 million of the previously announced total purchase price was postponed pending receipt of certain third-party consents. We expect to close on those remaining hotels before the end of the year. We plan to sell 11 of the hotels we purchase in this transaction to third-party owners. The remaining six hotels are operated under leases, five of which expire by 2012.

We and CTF also exchanged legal releases effective as of the closing date, and the litigation and arbitration between the two companies is now dismissed, including litigation and arbitration involving CTF and its affiliates described under Footnote No. 6, “Contingencies.”

13

On the closing date we and CTF also modified management agreements on 29 other CTF-leased hotels, 28 located in Europe and one hotel located in the United States. We became secondarily liable for annual rent payments for certain of these hotels when we acquired the Renaissance Hotel Group N.V. in 1997. We will continue to manage 16 of these hotels under new long-term management agreements. CTF has placed approximately $89 million in trust accounts to cover possible shortfalls in cash flow necessary to meet rent payments under these leases. In turn, we released CTF affiliates from their guarantees in connection with these leases. Our third quarter financial statements will reflect us as lessee on these hotels with minimum annual payments of approximately $48 million.

For the remaining 13 European leased hotels, CTF may terminate management agreements with us as CTF obtains releases from landlords of our back-up guarantees. Pending completion of the CTF-landlord agreements, we continue to manage these hotels under modified management agreements and remain secondarily liable under certain of these leases. CTF has made available €35 million in cash collateral in the event that we are required to fund under such guarantees. As CTF obtains releases from the landlords and these hotels exit the system, our contingent liabilities will decline.

We also continue to manage three hotels in the United Kingdom under amended management agreements with CTF-affiliated companies and continue to manage 14 properties in Asia on behalf of New World Development Company Limited and its affiliates. CTF’s principals are officers, directors and stockholders of New World Development Company Limited. The owners of the UK and Asian hotels have agreed to invest $17 million to renovate those properties.

In the 2005 second quarter we recorded a $94 million pre-tax charge primarily due to the non-cash write-off of deferred contract acquisition costs associated with the expected termination of the existing management agreements. As described above, we entered into new long-term management agreements with CTF, Walton Street and Sunstone at the closing of the transactions, and we expect that the hotels we acquired will also be sold subject to long-term management agreements.

10. Notes Receivable

($ in millions)	June 17, 2005			December 31, 2004
Loans to timeshare owners	$	318		$	315
Lodging senior loans		75			75
Lodging mezzanine and other loans		497			867
		890			1,257

Amounts due within one year are classified as current assets in the caption accounts and notes receivable in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet, including $25 million and $26 million, respectively, as of June 17, 2005, and December 31, 2004, related to the loans to timeshare owners.

11. Synthetic Fuel

On April 29, 2005, we entered into an amendment agreement with our synthetic fuel partner. This amendment extended until June 30, 2005, the period in which our partner had the right to elect to have its approximately 50 percent ownership interest in the three synthetic fuel facilities that were subject to the IRS’s placed-in-service challenge redeemed. Our joint venture partner had the right to have us redeem its ownership interest in those three facilities because the IRS’s placed-in-service challenge remained outstanding as of March 31, 2005. Under the terms of the amendment, our partner was allocated 1 percent of the tax credits from those three facilities until May 31, 2005. Effective as of June 1, 2005, our partner’s share of the tax credits from those three facilities has returned to approximately 50 percent.

14

In June 2005, we were notified that the IRS National Office issued a Technical Advice Memorandum confirming that the three synthetic fuel facilities that were under IRS review meet the placed-in-service requirement under Section 29 of the Internal Revenue Code.

On June 30, 2005, we entered into another amendment agreement with our synthetic fuel partner. This amendment gives our partner the right to elect to have us redeem its approximately 50 percent ownership interest in the three synthetic fuel facilities owned by Synthetic American Fuel Enterprises II, LLC on November 30, 2005, or December 31, 2005.

12. Variable Interest Entities

Since year-end 2004, we have one new significant interest in an entity that is a variable interest entity under FIN 46R, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” Revised (“FIN 46(R)”). As described in Footnote 9 “Acquisitions and Dispositions” under the heading “Marriott and Whitbread Joint Venture,” in the 2005 second quarter we formed a joint venture with Whitbread for the purpose of acquiring a portfolio of 46 hotels from Whitbread to be managed by us. The purchase price of the portfolio was approximately £995 million. As of the end of our 2005 second quarter, our maximum exposure to loss from our investment in this joint venture is £92 million ($167 million). We do not consolidate the joint venture since we do not bear the majority of the expected losses or expected residual returns.

13. Courtyard Joint Venture

During the 2005 second quarter, Sarofim Realty Advisors (“Sarofim”), on behalf of an institutional investor, completed the acquisition of a 75 percent interest in the Courtyard Joint Venture, and we signed new long-term management agreements with the joint venture. The transaction will result in an accelerating pace of reinventions and upgrades at the joint venture’s hotels.

Prior to Sarofim’s acquisition, we and Host Marriott owned equal shares in the 120-property joint venture. With the addition of the new equity, our interest in the joint venture has declined to approximately 21 percent and Host Marriott’s interest declined to less than 4 percent. As part of the completed transaction, our mezzanine loan to the joint venture (including accrued interest) totaling approximately $269 million was repaid. We are making available to the joint venture a seven year subordinated loan of up to $129 million, primarily to fund renovation costs in 2005 and 2006 for the remaining hotels in the portfolio. No fundings have yet occurred.

Item 2.     Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

We make forward-looking statements in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in this report based on the beliefs and assumptions of our management and on information currently available to us. Forward-looking statements include information about our possible or assumed future results of operations which follow under the headings “Business and Overview,” “Liquidity and Capital Resources” and other statements throughout this report preceded by, followed by or that include the words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” or similar expressions.

Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements, including the risks and uncertainties described below and other factors described from time to time in our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We therefore caution you not to rely unduly on any forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements in this report speak only as of the date of the report in which the forward-looking statement is made, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

Risks and Uncertainties

We are subject to various risks that could have a negative effect on the Company and its financial condition. You should understand that these risks could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements contained in this report and in other Company communications. Because there is no way to determine in advance whether, or to what extent, any present uncertainty will ultimately impact our business, you should give equal weight to each of the following.

The lodging industry is highly competitive, which may impact our ability to compete successfully with other hotel and timeshare properties for customers. We generally operate in markets that contain numerous competitors. Each of our hotel and timeshare brands competes with major hotel chains in national and international venues and with independent companies in regional markets. Our ability to remain competitive and to attract and retain business and leisure travelers depends on our success in distinguishing the quality, value and efficiency of our lodging products and services from those offered by others. If we are unable to compete successfully in these areas, this could limit our operating margins, diminish our market share and reduce our earnings.

We are subject to the range of operating risks common to the hotel, timeshare and corporate apartment industries. The profitability of the hotels, vacation timeshare resorts and corporate apartments that we operate or franchise may be adversely affected by a number of factors, including:

(1) the availability of and demand for hotel rooms, timeshares and apartments;

(2) international, national and regional economic conditions;

(3) the desirability of particular locations and changes in travel patterns;

(4) taxes and government regulations that influence or determine wages, prices, interest rates, construction procedures and costs;

(5) the availability of capital to allow us and potential hotel owners and joint venture partners to fund investments;

(6) regional and national development of competing properties; and

(7) increases in wages and other labor costs, energy, healthcare, insurance, transportation and fuel, and other expenses central to the conduct of our business.

Any one or more of these factors could limit or reduce the demand, and therefore the prices we are able to obtain, for hotel rooms, timeshare units and corporate apartments or could increase our costs and therefore reduce the profits of our businesses. In addition, reduced demand for hotels could also give rise to losses under loans, guarantees and minority equity investments that we have made in connection with hotels that we manage.

16

The uncertain pace of the lodging industry’s recovery will continue to impact our financial results and growth. Both the Company and the lodging industry were hurt by several events occurring over the last few years, including the global economic downturn, the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington in September 2001, the global outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in 2003 and military action in Iraq. Business and leisure travel decreased and remained depressed as some potential travelers reduced or avoided discretionary travel in light of increased delays and safety concerns and economic declines stemming from an erosion in consumer confidence. Weaker hotel performance reduced management and franchise fees and gave rise to fundings or losses under loans, guarantees and minority investments that we have made in connection with some hotels that we manage, which, in turn, has had a material adverse impact on our financial performance. Although both the lodging and travel industries are recovering, the pace, duration and full extent of that recovery remain unclear. Accordingly, our financial results and growth could be harmed if that recovery stalls or is reversed.

Our lodging operations are subject to international, national and regional conditions. Because we conduct our business on a national and international platform, our activities are susceptible to changes in the performance of regional and global economies. In recent years, our business has been hurt by decreases in travel resulting from recent economic conditions, the military action in Iraq and the heightened travel security measures that have resulted from the threat of further terrorism. Our future economic performance is similarly subject to the uncertain magnitude and duration of the economic recovery in the United States, the prospects of improving economic performance in other regions, the unknown pace of any business travel recovery that results and the occurrence of any future incidents in the countries in which we operate.

Our growth strategy depends upon third-party owners/operators, and future arrangements with these third parties may be less favorable. Our present growth strategy for development of additional lodging facilities entails entering into and maintaining various arrangements with property owners. The terms of our management agreements, franchise agreements and leases for each of our lodging facilities are influenced by contract terms offered by our competitors, among other things. We cannot assure you that any of our current arrangements will continue. Moreover, we may not be able to enter into future collaborations, or to renew or enter into agreements in the future, on terms that are as favorable to us as those under existing collaborations and agreements.

We may have disputes with the owners of the hotels that we manage or franchise. Consistent with our focus on management and franchising, we own very few of our lodging properties. The nature of our responsibilities under our management agreements to manage each hotel and enforce the standards required for our brands under both management and franchise agreements may, in some instances, be subject to interpretation and may give rise to disagreements. We seek to resolve any disagreements in order to develop and maintain positive relations with current and potential hotel owners and joint venture partners but have not always been able to do so. Failure to resolve such disagreements has in the past resulted in litigation, and could do so in the future.

Our ability to grow our management and franchise systems is subject to the range of risks associated with real estate investments. Our ability to sustain continued growth through management or franchise agreements for new hotels and the conversion of existing facilities to managed or franchised Marriott brands is affected, and may potentially be limited, by a variety of factors influencing real estate development generally. These include site availability, financing, planning, zoning and other local approvals and other limitations that may be imposed by market and submarket factors, such as projected room occupancy, changes in growth in demand compared to projected supply, territorial restrictions in our management and franchise agreements, costs of construction and anticipated room rate structure.

We depend on capital to buy and maintain hotels, and we may be unable to access capital when necessary. In order to fund new hotel investments, as well as refurbish and improve existing hotels, both the Company and current and potential hotel owners must periodically spend money. The availability of funds for new investments and maintenance of existing hotels depends in large measure on capital markets and liquidity factors over which we can exert little control. Our ability to recover loan and guarantee advances from hotel operations or from owners through the proceeds of hotel sales, refinancing of debt or otherwise may also affect our ability to recycle and raise new capital.

17

In the event of damage to or other potential losses involving properties that we own, manage or franchise, potential losses may not be covered by insurance. We have comprehensive property and liability insurance policies with coverage features and insured limits that we believe are customary. Market forces beyond our control may nonetheless limit both the scope of property and liability insurance coverage that we can obtain and our ability to obtain coverage at reasonable rates. There are certain types of losses, generally of a catastrophic nature, such as earthquakes, hurricanes and floods or terrorist acts, that may be uninsurable or may be too expensive to justify insuring against. As a result, we may not be successful in obtaining insurance without increases in cost or decreases in coverage levels. In addition, we may carry insurance coverage that, in the event of a substantial loss, would not be sufficient to pay the full current market value or current replacement cost of our lost investment or that of hotel owners or in some cases could also result in certain losses being totally uninsured. As a result, we could lose all, or a portion of, the capital we have invested in a property, as well as the anticipated future revenue from the property, and we could remain obligated for guarantees, debt or other financial obligations related to the property.

Risks relating to acts of God, terrorist activity and war could reduce the demand for lodging, which may adversely affect our revenues. Acts of God, such as natural disasters and the spread of contagious diseases, in locations where we own, manage or franchise significant properties and areas of the world from which we draw a large number of customers can cause a decline in the level of business and leisure travel and reduce the demand for lodging. Wars (including the potential for war), terrorist activity (including threats of terrorist activity), political unrest and other forms of civil strife and geopolitical uncertainty can have a similar effect. Any one or more of these events may reduce the overall demand for hotel rooms, timeshare units and corporate apartments or limit the prices that we are able to obtain for them, both of which could adversely affect our revenues.

Increasing use of third-party internet reservation services may adversely impact our revenues. Some of our hotel rooms are booked through internet travel intermediaries serving both the leisure and, increasingly, the corporate travel sectors. While Marriott’s Look No Further Best Rate Guarantee has greatly reduced the ability of these internet travel intermediaries to undercut the published rates of Marriott hotels, these internet travel intermediaries continue their attempts to commoditize hotel rooms by aggressively marketing to price-sensitive travelers and corporate accounts and increasing the importance of general indicators of quality (such as “three-star downtown hotel”) at the expense of brand identification. These agencies hope that consumers will eventually develop brand loyalties to their travel services rather than to our lodging brands. Although we expect to continue to maintain and even increase the strength of our brands in the online marketplace, if the amount of sales made through internet intermediaries increases significantly, our business and profitability may be harmed.

Changes in privacy law could adversely affect our ability to market our products effectively. Our timeshare segment, and to a lesser extent our other lodging segments, rely on a variety of direct marketing techniques, including telemarketing and mass mailings. Recent initiatives, such as the National Do Not Call Registry and various state laws regarding marketing and solicitation, including anti-spam legislation, have created some concern about the continuing effectiveness of telemarketing and mass mailing techniques and could force further changes in our marketing strategy. If this occurs, we may not be able to develop adequate alternative marketing strategies, which could impact the amount and timing of our sales of timeshare units and other products. We also obtain lists of potential customers from travel service providers with whom we have substantial relationships and market to some individuals on these lists directly. If the acquisition of these lists were outlawed or otherwise restricted, our ability to develop new customers and introduce them to our products could be impaired.

Operating risks at our synthetic fuel operations could reduce the tax benefits generated by those facilities. The Company owns an interest in four synthetic fuel production facilities. Section 29 of the Internal Revenue Code provides tax credits for the production and sale of synthetic fuels produced from coal through 2007.

18

Although our synthetic fuel facilities incur significant losses, those losses are more than offset by the tax credits generated under Section 29, which reduce our income tax expense. Problems related to supply, production and demand at any of the synthetic fuel facilities, the power plants and other end users that buy synthetic fuel from the facilities or the coal mines from which the facilities buy coal could diminish the productivity of our synthetic fuel operations and adversely impact the ability of those operations to generate tax credits. In addition, if our businesses do not generate sufficient profits, we might suffer losses associated with generating tax credits that we were unable to utilize.

High oil prices in 2005 and beyond could reduce or eliminate the tax credits generated by our synthetic fuel facilities. The tax credits available under Section 29 of the Internal Revenue Code for the production and sale of synthetic fuel produced in any given year are phased out if the Reference Price of a barrel of oil for that year falls within a specified, inflation-adjusted price range. The “Reference Price” of a barrel of oil is an estimate of the annual average wellhead price per barrel of domestic crude oil and is determined for each calendar year by the Secretary of the Treasury by April 1 of the following year. In 2003 and 2004, the Reference Price was roughly $3.43 and $4.72 lower, respectively, than the average price for those years of the benchmark NYMEX futures contract for a barrel of light, sweet crude oil for those years. The price range within which the credit is phased-out was set in 1980 and is adjusted annually for inflation. In 2004, the phase-out range was $51.35 to $64.47. Because the Reference Price of a barrel of oil for 2004 was below that range, at $36.75, there was no reduction of the tax credits available for synthetic fuel produced and sold in 2004. Assuming a 2 percent inflation rate for 2005 and assuming that the ratio of the Reference Price to the average price of the benchmark NYMEX futures contract remains the same in 2005 as it was in 2004, we currently estimate that, because the average NYMEX price for the first half of the year was approximately $52, the price of the benchmark NYMEX futures contract for a barrel of light, sweet crude oil would need to average in excess of $68 per barrel for the remainder of 2005 in order for the tax credits available for the production and sale of synthetic fuel in 2005 to begin to be reduced. We cannot predict with any accuracy the future price of a barrel of oil. If the Reference Price of a barrel of oil in 2005 or future years exceeds the applicable phase-out threshold for those years, the tax credits generated by our synthetic fuel facilities in those years could be reduced or eliminated and we could be required to reimburse our joint venture partner for excess earn-out payments and capital contributions received with respect to those years, which would have a negative impact on our financial statements.

BUSINESS AND OVERVIEW

As expected, the favorable momentum that we saw building in 2004 has continued through the first half of 2005. Demand for our properties is strong in most markets around the world, although Europe remains a challenge as some economies continue to experience difficulties. The weak U.S. dollar continues to drive international travelers into the United States with New York, Washington, D.C., Florida and California particularly benefiting. Demand associated with business travel continues to improve and leisure demand remains strong. Demand is strong in most markets in the United States. Resorts in the Caribbean, Mexico, and the Middle East were also popular with vacationers from around the world, and demand in China remained strong. Comparable Revenue per Available Room (“RevPAR”) for our worldwide systemwide properties increased 9.8 percent year-to-date versus the prior year, driven principally by rate increases, but also by occupancy improvements.

We currently have approximately 60,000 rooms in our development pipeline and expect to open a total of 25,000 to 30,000 rooms in 2005. During the first two quarters of 2005, over 29 percent of the rooms added to our system were conversions from competitor brands.

Our brands are strong because of our superior customer service with an emphasis on guest satisfaction, the location and quality of our products, the Marriott Rewards loyalty program, an information-rich and easy-to-use web site, and desired amenities including meeting and banquet facilities, fitness centers, award winning restaurants, and high speed and wireless internet access.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

The following discussion presents an analysis of results of our operations for the twelve weeks ended June 17, 2005 compared to the twelve weeks ended June 18, 2004.

Revenues

Revenues increased 11 percent to $2,661 million in 2005 from $2,402 million in 2004, primarily reflecting higher fees resulting from strong demand for hotel rooms reflected in year-over-year RevPAR increases driven primarily by rate increases as well as by occupancy improvement and unit expansion. Also favorably impacting revenue was higher financially reportable development revenue associated with our timeshare operations partially offset by lower synthetic fuel revenue associated with lower production.

Reflected in the 11 percent increase in total revenue is $181 million of increased cost reimbursements revenue, to $1,795 million in the 2005 second quarter from $1,614 million in the year ago quarter. This revenue represents reimbursements of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties and relate, predominantly, to payroll costs at managed properties where we are the employer. As cost reimbursements revenue is paid to us based upon the costs incurred with no added mark-up, this revenue and related reimbursed costs expense have no impact on either our operating income or net income. The increase in reimbursed costs is primarily attributable to the growth in the number of properties we manage. We have added 71 managed properties (12,692 rooms) to our system since the end of the 2004 second quarter (including the Whitbread properties added in the 2005 second quarter as more fully described under the caption “Marriott and Whitbread Joint Venture” in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section which follows).

Operating Income

Operating income decreased $77 million to $41 million in 2005 from $118 million in 2004. The decrease is primarily due to $157 million of increased general and administrative expenses, and $6 million of increased synthetic fuel operating losses reflecting lower synthetic fuel revenue coupled with increased costs, offset to some extent by lower production. General, administrative and other expenses increased $157 million in the second quarter of 2005 to $284 million, primarily due to a $94 million pre-tax charge impacting our Full-Service Lodging segment primarily due to the non-cash write-off of deferred contract acquisition costs associated with the termination of management agreements (discussed more fully below in “Liquidity and Capital Resources” under the heading “CTF Holdings Ltd.”) and $29 million of pre-tax expenses associated with our bedding incentive program impacting our Full-Service, Select-Service and Extended-Stay Lodging segments. We implemented the bedding incentive program in 2005 to ensure that guests could enjoy the comfort and luxury of our new bedding by year-end 2005. In 2005, we also recorded a $12 million pre-tax charge for a cure payment associated with one property and a $6 million pre-tax charge associated with guarantees, and we had increased overhead costs related to the Company’s unit growth and development, all of which impacted general and administrative expenses. As our unallocated corporate general and administrative expenses were flat as compared to last year, the $157 million increase over last year relates entirely to our Lodging segments. Partially offsetting these unfavorable items were a combined base, incentive and franchise fee improvement of $39 million, $30 million of stronger timeshare interval sales and services revenue net of direct expenses, and $17 million of stronger owned, leased, corporate housing and other revenue net of direct expenses. The $17 million increase includes our receipt of a $10 million termination fee associated with one property which left our system.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased $3 million (13 percent) to $21 million primarily due to lower interest associated with the payoff, at maturity, in April 2005 of our Series D senior notes and higher capitalized interest primarily associated with timeshare projects under construction, partially offset by higher interest associated with the Marriott Rewards program.

Interest Income, Provision for Loan Losses and Income Tax

Interest income decreased $14 million (36 percent) to $25 million, primarily reflecting the impact of loans repaid to us. Since year-end 2004, our notes receivable balance has declined by $367 million, primarily reflecting loans repaid to us, including the Courtyard Joint Venture loan as described more fully under the “Courtyard Joint Venture” caption in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section later in this report. There were no loan loss provisions in the 2005 second quarter versus a $3 million provision in the year ago quarter.

Income before income taxes and minority interest generated a tax benefit of $20 million in the second quarter of 2005, compared to a tax provision of $33 million in the second quarter of 2004. The difference is attributable to the impact of our synthetic fuel joint ventures, which generated a tax benefit and tax credits of $68 million in 2005, compared to $38 million in 2004, and $23 million of lower taxes attributable to lower pre-tax income associated with our other activities. For additional information see the analysis of results of operations for the Synthetic Fuel segment for the twelve weeks ended June 17, 2005, compared to the twelve weeks ended June 18, 2004, later in this report.

Minority Interest

Minority interest decreased from a $14 million benefit in the second quarter of 2004 to a benefit of $4 million in the second quarter of 2005, as a result of both lower production and our increased proportion of operating losses associated with the three synthetic fuel facilities that were under IRS review. For additional information see the analysis of results of operations for the Synthetic Fuel segment for the twelve weeks ended June 17, 2005, compared to the twelve weeks ended June 18, 2004, later in this report.

Net Income

Net income decreased $22 million (14 percent) to $138 million in 2005, and diluted earnings per share decreased $0.08 (12 percent) to $0.59. The unfavorable variance to the year ago quarter was primarily driven by higher general and administrative expenses including, as described in the preceding “Operating Income” discussion, a $94 million pre-tax charge primarily due to the non-cash write-off of deferred contract acquisition costs associated with the termination of management agreements, pre-tax expenses totaling $29 million associated with our bedding incentive program, and a $12 million pre-tax cure payment associated with one property, coupled with lower interest income. These unfavorable variances to the prior year were significantly offset by, among other items, higher fees associated with stronger demand, higher timeshare interval sales and services revenue net of direct expenses reflecting increased reportability levels and improved margins, higher gains reflecting the impact of loans repaid to us in 2005 before maturity, receipt of a termination fee associated with one property, stronger Synthetic Fuel segment results (including tax credits and earn-outs) and lower income taxes associated with our non-synthetic fuel activities, reflecting lower pre-tax income.

Business Segments

We are a diversified hospitality company with operations in five business segments:

• Full-Service Lodging, which includes Marriott Hotels & Resorts, The Ritz-Carlton, Renaissance Hotels & Resorts and Bulgari Hotels & Resorts;

• Select-Service Lodging, which includes Courtyard, Fairfield Inn and SpringHill Suites;

• Extended-Stay Lodging, which includes Residence Inn, TownePlace Suites, Marriott ExecuStay and Marriott Executive Apartments;

• Timeshare, which includes the development, marketing, operation and ownership of timeshare properties under the Marriott Vacation Club International, The Ritz-Carlton Club, Marriott Grand Residence Club and Horizons by Marriott Vacation Club International brands; and

• Synthetic Fuel, which includes our interest in the operation of coal-based synthetic fuel production facilities.

We evaluate the performance of our segments based primarily on the results of the segment without allocating corporate expenses, interest income, provision for loan losses, and interest expense. With the exception of the Synthetic Fuel segment, we do not allocate income taxes to our segments. As timeshare note sales are an integral part of the timeshare business we include timeshare note sale gains in our Timeshare segment results, and we allocate other gains as well as equity in earnings (losses) from our joint ventures and divisional general, administrative and other expenses to each of our segments.

We have aggregated the brands and businesses presented within each of our segments considering their similar economic characteristics, types of customers, distribution channels and the regulatory business environment of the brands and operations within each segment.

Marriott Lodging

We consider lodging revenues and lodging financial results to be meaningful indicators of our performance because they measure our growth in profitability as a lodging company and enable investors to compare the sales and results of our lodging operations to those of other lodging companies.

Lodging, which includes our Full-Service, Select-Service, Extended-Stay, and Timeshare segments, reported financial results of $171 million in the second quarter of 2005, compared to $221 million in the second quarter of 2004, and revenues of $2,563 million in the second quarter of 2005, a 12 percent increase from revenues of $2,291 million in the second quarter of 2004. The results as compared to the year ago quarter reflect a $39 million increase (18 percent) in base, franchise and incentive fees, from $214 million in the second quarter of 2004 to $253 million in the second quarter of 2005, stronger Timeshare segment results, stronger owned, leased, corporate housing and other revenue, net of direct expenses, improved equity income and higher gains. The increase in base and franchise fees was driven by higher RevPAR for comparable rooms, resulting primarily from both domestic and international rate increases as well as from occupancy improvements, and new unit growth. Incentive management fees increased $16 million (44 percent) during the quarter, reflecting the impact of increased travel worldwide driving strong property level profits. More than offsetting these improvements were $157 million of increased general and administrative expenses as noted in the preceding “Operating Income” discussion.

We have added 136 properties (22,370 rooms) and deflagged 45 properties (7,067 rooms) since the end of the second quarter of 2004. Most of the deflagged properties were Fairfield Inns. In addition, 206 properties (27,647 rooms) exited our system as a result of the sale of our Ramada International Hotels & Resorts franchised brand in the fourth quarter of 2004.

23

Systemwide RevPAR, which includes data from our franchised properties, in addition to our owned, leased and managed properties, for comparable North American properties increased 9.8 percent, and RevPAR for our comparable North American company-operated properties increased 10.0 percent. Systemwide RevPAR for comparable international properties increased 13.4 percent, and RevPAR for comparable international company-operated properties increased 12.2 percent. Worldwide RevPAR for comparable company-operated properties increased 10.5 percent while worldwide RevPAR for comparable systemwide properties increased 10.4 percent. In addition, worldwide company-operated property level house profit margins increased 170 basis points.

Summary of Properties by Brand. We opened 34 lodging properties (5,932 rooms) during the second quarter of 2005, while six hotels (946 rooms) exited the system, increasing our total properties to 2,676 (489,430 rooms). The table below shows properties by brand as of June 17, 2005 (excluding 1,817 rental units relating to Marriott ExecuStay):

Revenue per Available Room

We consider RevPAR to be a meaningful indicator of our performance because it measures the period-over-period change in room revenues for comparable properties. We calculate RevPAR by dividing room sales for comparable properties by room nights available to guests for the period. RevPAR may not be comparable to similarly titled measures, such as revenues.

The following table shows occupancy, average daily rate and RevPAR for each of our comparable principal established brands. We have not presented statistics for company-operated North American Fairfield Inn properties here because we operate only a limited number of properties, as the brand is predominantly franchised and such information would not be meaningful (identified as “nm” in the following table). Systemwide statistics include data from our franchised properties, in addition to our owned, leased and managed properties.

24

For North American properties the occupancy, average daily rate and RevPAR statistics used throughout this report for the twelve weeks ended June 17, 2005, include the period from March 26, 2005 through June 17, 2005, while the twelve weeks ended June 18, 2004, include the period from March 27, 2004 through June 18, 2004 (except, in each case, for The Ritz-Carlton, which includes only March through May).

Revenues	$	1,751	$	1,548	13	%
Segment results	$	30	$	113	-73	%

Full-Service Lodging includes our Marriott Hotels & Resorts, The Ritz-Carlton, Renaissance Hotels & Resorts, Ramada International and Bulgari Hotels & Resorts brands. Our second quarter 2005 segment results as compared to the prior year reflect a $21 million increase in base management, incentive management and franchise fees, and $16 million of other revenue which included a $10 million termination fee associated with one property which left our system, more than offset by $141 million of higher general and administrative costs. As noted in our preceding “Operating Income” discussion, during the 2005 second quarter we recorded a $94 million pre-tax charge primarily due to the non-cash write-off of deferred contract acquisition costs associated with the termination of management agreements (discussed more fully below in “Liquidity and Capital Resources” under the heading “CTF Holdings Ltd.”), and we incurred pre-tax expenses of $18 million related to our bedding incentive program, both of which impacted our general and administrative expenses. We also recorded a $12 million pre-tax charge for a cure payment associated with one property and a $4 million pre-tax charge associated with a guarantee, both of which further impacted general and administrative expenses.

The increase in fees is largely due to stronger RevPAR, driven primarily by rate as well as by occupancy increases both favorably impacting property level house profits (above minimum thresholds), and to the growth in the number of rooms. Since the second quarter of 2004, across our Full-Service Lodging segment, we have added 29 hotels (8,763 rooms) and deflagged five hotels (2,127 rooms). In addition, 206 properties (27,647 rooms) exited our system as a result of the sale of our Ramada International Hotels & Resorts franchised brand in the fourth quarter of 2004. Owned and leased property results were favorable to the year ago quarter by $4 million.

Further impacting segment results, gains were $13 million higher than last year, and equity results were $4 million higher than last year. The increase in gains is primarily attributable to the sale or repayment before maturity of loans receivable associated with three properties.

RevPAR for Full-Service Lodging comparable company-operated North American hotels increased 10.3 percent to $129.06. Occupancy for these hotels increased to 75.9 percent, while average daily rates increased 8.2 percent to $169.98.

Financial results for our international operations were strong across most regions, generating a 12.2 percent RevPAR increase for comparable company-operated hotels. Occupancy increased 1.8 percentage points, while average daily rates increased to $142.50. Demand was strong in China, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Egypt, while the European markets generally continue to remain less robust.

Revenues	$	293	$	264	11	%
Segment results	$	48	$	39	23	%

Select-Service Lodging includes our Courtyard, Fairfield Inn and SpringHill Suites brands. The $9 million increase in segment results reflects an $11 million increase in base management, incentive management and franchise fees, $6 million of higher gains, $3 million of stronger owned and leased results, and essentially flat equity results, partially offset by $11 million of higher general and administrative costs, which included $7 million of pre-tax expenses related to our bedding incentive program. The increase in gains is primarily attributable to the early repayment to us of the loan we made to the Courtyard Joint Venture (see the discussion which follows in “Liquidity and Capital Resources” under the caption “Courtyard Joint Venture”). The increase in fees is largely due to higher RevPAR, driven primarily by rate increases as well as by occupancy improvements, both favorably impacting property level house profits (above minimum thresholds), and to the growth in the number of rooms. Across our Select-Service Lodging segment, we have added 72 hotels (8,921 rooms) and deflagged 39 hotels (4,860 rooms) since the second quarter of 2004.

Extended-Stay Lodging includes our Residence Inn, TownePlace Suites, Marriott Executive Apartments, and Marriott ExecuStay brands. Our base and incentive management fees were $3 million higher than last year while our franchise fees, principally associated with our Residence Inn brand, increased $2 million. The increase in franchise fees is largely due to higher RevPAR and the growth in the number of rooms. Since the second quarter of 2004, across our Extended-Stay Lodging segment, we have added 30 hotels (3,332 rooms) and deflagged one hotel (80 rooms). Corporate housing and other revenue, net of direct costs declined $3 million compared to the year ago quarter primarily as a result of the shift towards franchising for our ExecuStay brand, and gains were $4 million lower than the prior year. General and administrative costs were unfavorable to the prior year by $2 million, primarily reflecting pre-tax expenses of $4 million related to our bedding incentive program, partially offset by other lower general and administrative expenses including lower costs associated with ExecuStay’s shift towards franchising.

RevPAR for Select-Service and Extended-Stay Lodging comparable company-operated North American hotels increased 9.2 percent to $79.76. Occupancy for these hotels increased to 76.6 percent, while average daily rates increased 8.8 percent to $104.09.

Timeshare includes our Marriott Vacation Club International, The Ritz-Carlton Club, Marriott Grand Residence Club and Horizons by Marriott Vacation Club International brands. Timeshare revenues of $383 million in 2005 and $350 million in 2004 include interval sales, base management fees, resort rental fees, and cost reimbursements. Timeshare contract sales, including sales made by our timeshare joint venture projects, which represent sales of timeshare intervals before adjustment for percentage of completion accounting, were essentially flat as compared to the year ago quarter reflecting limited available inventory at Ritz-Carlton projects compared to the year ago quarter. The favorable segment results versus the prior year reflect a 19 percent increase in timeshare interval sales and services revenue primarily reflecting higher financially reportable development revenue, higher margins primarily resulting from the mix of units sold, and higher financing income. The increase in financing income is primarily due to a higher average notes receivable portfolio balance in 2005 and a $29 million gain in 2005 associated with our note sale versus a $27 million gain in the prior year. Versus the prior year, general and administrative costs increased $3 million.

Synthetic Fuel

For the twelve weeks ended June 17, 2005, the synthetic fuel operation generated revenue of $98 million versus $111 million of revenue for the twelve weeks ended June 18, 2004, primarily due to lower production. The $13 million increase in synthetic fuel net income to $44 million from $31 million is primarily due to our increased proportion of tax credits associated with the three synthetic fuel facilities that were under IRS review.

The table below details the impact of our Synthetic Fuel segment on our tax benefit (provision) and net income:

On April 29, 2005, we entered into an amendment agreement with our synthetic fuel partner. This amendment extended until June 30, 2005, the period in which our partner had the right to elect to have its approximately 50 percent ownership interest in the three synthetic fuel facilities that were subject to the IRS’s placed-in-service challenge redeemed. Our joint venture partner had the right to have us redeem its ownership interest in those three facilities because the IRS’s placed-in-service challenge remained outstanding as of March 31, 2005. Under the terms of the amendment, our partner was allocated 1 percent of the tax credits from those three facilities until May 31, 2005. Effective as of June 1, 2005, our partner’s share of the tax credits from those three facilities has returned to approximately 50 percent.

In June 2005, we were notified that the IRS National Office issued a Technical Advice Memorandum confirming that the three synthetic fuel facilities that were under IRS review meet the placed-in-service requirement under Section 29 of the Internal Revenue Code.

On June 30, 2005, we entered into another amendment agreement with our synthetic fuel partner. This amendment gives our partner the right to elect to have us redeem its approximately 50 percent ownership interest in the three synthetic fuel facilities owned by Synthetic American Fuel Enterprises II, LLC on November 30, 2005, or December 31, 2005.

Impact of Future Adoption of Accounting Standards

Statement of Position 04-2, “Accounting for Real Estate Time-sharing Transactions”

In December 2004, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position (“SOP”) 04-2, “Accounting for Real Estate Time-sharing Transactions,” and the FASB amended FAS No. 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate,” and FAS No. 67 “Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects,” to exclude accounting for real estate time-sharing transactions from these statements. The SOP will be effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005.

Under the SOP, the majority of the costs incurred to sell timeshares will be charged to expense when incurred. In regards to notes receivable issued in conjunction with a sale, an estimate of uncollectibility that is expected to occur must be recorded as a reduction of revenue at the time that profit is recognized on a timeshare sale. Rental and other operations during holding periods must be accounted for as incidental operations, which require that any excess costs be recorded as a reduction of inventory costs.

We estimate that the initial adoption of the SOP, which will be reported as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in our fiscal year 2006 financial statements, will result in a one-time non-cash pre-tax charge of approximately $150 million to $175 million, consisting primarily of the write-off of deferred selling costs and establishing the required reserve on notes. We estimate that the ongoing impact of adoption will be immaterial.

FAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment”

In December 2004, the FASB issued FAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“FAS No. 123R”), which is a revision of FAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” FAS No. 123R supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and amends FAS No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows.” Registrants were initially required to adopt FAS No. 123R as of the beginning of the first interim period that begins after June 15, 2005. On April 14, 2005, during our 2005 second quarter, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted a new rule that allows companies to implement FAS No. 123R at the beginning of their next fiscal year, instead of the next reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. We will adopt FAS No. 123R at the beginning of our 2006 fiscal year. We estimate the adoption of FAS No. 123R, using the modified prospective method, will result in incremental pre-tax expense in fiscal year 2006 of approximately $25 million, based on our current share-based payment compensation plans.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

The following discussion presents an analysis of results of our operations for the twenty-four weeks ended June 17, 2005 compared to the twenty-four weeks ended June 18, 2004.

Revenues

Revenues increased 12 percent to $5,195 million in 2005 from $4,654 million in 2004, primarily reflecting higher fees resulting from strong demand for hotel rooms reflected in year-over-year RevPAR increases driven primarily by rate increases as well as by occupancy improvement and unit expansion. Also favorably impacting revenue were higher financially reportable development revenue associated with our timeshare operations and the accounting impact associated with the consolidation of our synthetic fuel operations from the start of the 2004 second quarter versus accounting for the synthetic fuel operations using the equity method of accounting in the 2004 first quarter.

Reflected in the 12 percent increase in total revenue is $278 million of increased cost reimbursements revenue, to $3,477 million in the first half of 2005 from $3,199 million in the prior year. This revenue represents reimbursements of costs incurred on behalf of managed and franchised properties and relate, predominantly, to payroll costs at managed properties where we are the employer. As cost reimbursements revenue is paid to us based upon the costs incurred with no added mark-up, this revenue and related reimbursed costs expense have no impact on either our operating income or net income. The increase in reimbursed costs is primarily attributable to the growth in the number of properties we manage. We have added 71 managed properties (12,692 rooms) to our system since the end of the 2004 second quarter (including the Whitbread properties added in the 2005 second quarter as more fully described under the caption “Marriott and Whitbread Joint Venture” in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section later in this report).

Operating Income

Operating income decreased $70 million to $199 million in 2005 from $269 million in 2004. The decrease versus the prior year is primarily due to $149 million of increased general and administrative expenses and $51 million of increased synthetic fuel operating losses. Operating income for 2005 includes a synthetic fuel operating loss of $81 million versus $30 million of operating losses in the prior year, reflecting increased costs, and the accounting impact associated with the consolidation of our synthetic fuel operations from the start of the 2004 second quarter versus accounting for the synthetic fuel operations using the equity method of accounting in the 2004 first quarter, offset to some extent by lower production. For additional information, see our “Synthetic Fuel” segment discussion later in this report.

The $149 million of increased general and administrative expenses is comprised of an increase of $153 million of expenses across our Lodging segments, partially offset by $4 million of lower unallocated corporate expenses. The increase associated with the general, administrative and other expenses reflects a $94 million pre-tax charge in the second quarter of 2005, impacting our Full-Service Lodging segment primarily due to the non-cash write-off of deferred contract acquisition costs associated with the termination of management agreements (discussed more fully below in “Liquidity and Capital Resources” under the heading “CTF Holdings Ltd.”) and $29 million of pre-tax expenses in the second quarter of 2005 associated with our bedding incentive program, impacting our Full-Service, Select-Service and Extended-Stay Lodging segments. We implemented the bedding incentive program in 2005 to ensure that guests could enjoy the comfort and luxury of our new bedding by year-end 2005.

Additionally impacting general and administrative expenses in 2005, we recorded pre-tax cure payments of $15 million associated with two properties and a $6 million pre-tax charge associated with two guarantees, and we had increased overhead costs related to the Company’s unit growth and development, partially offset by lower litigation expenses. Partially offsetting these unfavorable items were a combined base, incentive and franchise fee improvement of $77 million, $38 million of stronger timeshare interval sales and services revenue net of direct expenses and $15 million of stronger owned, leased, corporate housing and other revenue net of direct expenses. The $15 million increase includes our receipt of a $10 million termination fee associated with one property which left our system.

Gains and Other Income

The table below shows our gains and other income for the twenty-four weeks ended June 17, 2005 and June 18, 2004:

	Twenty-Four Weeks Ended
($ in millions)	June 17, 2005			June 18, 2004
Timeshare note sale gains	$	29		$	27
Other note sale/repayment gains		22			—
Synthetic fuel earn-out payments (made) received, net		(1	)		9
Gains on sales of real estate and other		8			16
	$	58		$	52

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased $1 million (2 percent) to $45 million primarily due to lower interest expense associated with the payoff, at maturity, in April 2005 of our Series D senior notes and higher capitalized interest primarily associated with timeshare projects under construction, partially offset by higher interest expense associated with the Marriott Rewards program.

Interest Income, Provision for Loan Losses and Income Tax

Interest income decreased $13 million (20 percent) to $52 million, primarily reflecting the impact of loans repaid to us. Since year-end 2004, our notes receivable balance has declined $367 million, primarily reflecting loans repaid to us, including the Courtyard Joint Venture loan as described more fully under the “Courtyard Joint Venture” caption in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section later in this report. Our provision for loan losses increased $11 million versus the prior year reflecting an $11 million charge in the current year associated with one property.

Income before income taxes and minority interest generated a tax benefit of $15 million in the first half of 2005, compared to a tax provision of $51 million in the first half of 2004. The difference is attributable to the impact of our synthetic fuel joint ventures, which generated a tax benefit and tax credits of $130 million in 2005, compared to $77 million in 2004, and $13 million of lower taxes attributable to lower pre-tax income in 2005 associated with our other activities. For additional information see the analysis of results of operations for the Synthetic Fuel segment for the twenty-four weeks ended June 17, 2005, compared to the twenty-four weeks ended June 18, 2004, later in this report.

Minority Interest

Minority interest remained flat at a $14 million benefit in the first half of 2005. Minority interest for 2005 reflects our partner’s share of the synthetic fuel operating losses for the first half of 2005 while minority interest for 2004, reflects our partner’s share of the operating losses for only the second quarter of 2004. For the 2004 first quarter, we accounted for the synthetic fuel operations using the equity method of accounting. For additional information see the analysis of results of operations for the Synthetic Fuel segment for the twenty-four weeks ended June 17, 2005, compared to the twenty-four weeks ended June 18, 2004, later in this report.

Net Income

Net income increased $9 million (3 percent) to $283 million in 2005, and diluted earnings per share increased $0.05 (4 percent) to $1.19. The favorable variance to the prior year was primarily driven by higher fees associated with strong demand, higher timeshare interval sales and services revenue net of direct expenses reflecting increased reportability levels and improved margins, higher gains reflecting the impact of loans repaid to us in 2005 before maturity, receipt of a termination fee associated with one property, stronger Synthetic Fuel segment results (including tax credits and earn-outs) and lower taxes associated with our non-

33

synthetic fuel activities reflecting lower pre-tax income. Significantly offsetting these favorable variances to the prior year were, among other items, higher general and administrative expenses including, as described in the preceding “Operating Income” discussion, a $94 million pre-tax charge primarily due to the non-cash write-off of deferred contract acquisition costs associated with the termination of management agreements, pre-tax expenses totaling $29 million associated with our bedding incentive program, and pre-tax cure payments of $15 million associated with two properties, coupled with both lower interest income and higher loan loss provisions.

Business Segments

We evaluate the performance of our segments based primarily on the results of the segment without allocating corporate expenses, interest income, provision for loan losses, and interest expense. With the exception of the Synthetic Fuel segment, we do not allocate income taxes to our segments. As timeshare note sales are an integral part of the timeshare business we include timeshare note sale gains in our Timeshare segment results, and we allocate other gains as well as equity in earnings (losses) from our joint ventures and divisional general, administrative and other expenses to each of our segments.

Marriott Lodging

We consider lodging revenues and lodging financial results to be meaningful indicators of our performance because they measure our growth in profitability as a lodging company and enable investors to compare the sales and results of our lodging operations to those of other lodging companies.

Lodging, which includes our Full-Service, Select-Service, Extended-Stay, and Timeshare segments, reported financial results of $399 million in the first half of 2005, compared to $404 million in the first half of 2004, and revenues of $4,989 million in the first half of 2005, a 10 percent increase from revenues of $4,543 million in the first half of 2004. The results as compared to the prior year reflect a $77 million increase (19 percent) in base, franchise and incentive fees, from $407 million in the first half of 2004 to $484 million in the first half of 2005, stronger Timeshare segment results, stronger owned, leased, corporate housing and other revenue, net of direct expenses, improved equity income and higher gains. The increase in base and franchise fees was driven by higher RevPAR for comparable rooms, resulting primarily from both domestic and international rate increases as well as by occupancy improvements and new unit growth. Increased general and administrative expenses of $153 million, as discussed in the preceding “Operating Income” discussion, more than offset these improvements.

We have added 136 properties (22,370 rooms) and deflagged 45 properties (7,067 rooms) since the end of the second quarter of 2004. Most of the deflagged properties were Fairfield Inns. In addition, 206 properties (27,647 rooms) exited our system as a result of the sale of our Ramada International Hotels & Resorts franchised brand in the fourth quarter of 2004.

Systemwide RevPAR, which includes data from our franchised properties, in addition to our owned, leased and managed properties, for comparable North American properties increased 9.2 percent, and RevPAR for our comparable North American company-operated properties increased 9.1 percent. Systemwide RevPAR for comparable international properties increased 13.1 percent, and RevPAR for comparable international company-operated properties increased 13.2 percent. Incentive management fees increased $33 million (48 percent) during the first two quarters, reflecting the impact of increased travel worldwide driving strong property level profits. The increase also reflects recognition in the 2005 first quarter of $8 million of incentive fees that were calculated based on prior period earnings, but not earned and due until the 2005 first quarter. Worldwide RevPAR for comparable company-operated properties increased 10.0 percent while worldwide RevPAR for comparable systemwide properties increased 9.8 percent. In addition, worldwide company-operated property level house profit margins increased 150 basis points.

Revenue per Available Room

The following table shows occupancy, average daily rate and RevPAR for each of our comparable principal established brands. We have not presented statistics for company-operated North American Fairfield Inn properties here because we operate only a limited number of properties, as the brand is predominantly franchised and such information would not be meaningful (identified as “nm” in the following table). Systemwide statistics include data from our franchised properties, in addition to our owned, leased and managed properties.

For North American properties the occupancy, average daily rate and RevPAR statistics used throughout this report for the twenty-four weeks ended June 17, 2005, include the period from January 1, 2005 through June 17, 2005, while the twenty-four weeks ended June 18, 2004, include the period from January 3, 2004 through June 18, 2004 (except, in each case, for The Ritz-Carlton, which includes only January through May).

Revenues	$	3,380	$	3,053	11	%
Segment results	$	146	$	213	-31	%

Full-Service Lodging includes our Marriott Hotels & Resorts, The Ritz-Carlton, Renaissance Hotels & Resorts, Ramada International and Bulgari Hotels & Resorts brands. Our 2005 segment results reflect a $46 million increase in base management, incentive management and franchise fees, and $21 million of other revenue which included a $10 million termination fee associated with one property which left our system, more than offset by $148 million of higher general and administrative costs. As noted in the preceding “Operating Income” discussion, during the 2005 second quarter we recorded a $94 million pre-tax charge primarily due to the non-cash write-off of deferred contract acquisition costs associated with the termination of management agreements and we incurred pre-tax expenses of $18 million related to our bedding incentive program, both of which impacted our general and administrative expenses. We also recorded pre-tax cure payments of $15 million associated with two properties and a $4 million pre-tax charge associated with a guarantee, which further impacted general and administrative expenses.

The increase in fees is largely due to stronger RevPAR, driven primarily by rate as well as by occupancy increases favorably impacting property level house profits (above minimum thresholds), the growth in the number of rooms and the recognition in the 2005 first quarter of $8 million of incentive fees that were calculated based on prior period earnings, but not earned and due until the 2005 first quarter. Since the second quarter of 2004, across our Full-Service Lodging segment, we have added 29 hotels (8,763 rooms) and deflagged five hotels (2,127 rooms). In addition, 206 properties (27,647 rooms) exited our system as a result of the sale of our Ramada International Hotels & Resorts franchised brand in the fourth quarter of 2004. Owned and leased property results were favorable to the year ago quarter by $3 million and reflected improved property performance, partially offset by $6 million of severance payments and other costs associated with the temporary closing of a property undergoing renovation in Ireland.

Further impacting segment results, gains were $12 million higher than last year, while equity results were flat. On April 1, 2004, Cendant Corporation exercised its option to redeem our interest in the Two Flags joint venture, which owned the trademarks and licenses for the Ramada and Days Inn lodging brands in the United States. In the first half of 2004, our equity earnings included $6 million attributable to our interest in the Two Flags joint venture. The increase in gains is primarily attributable to the sale or repayment before maturity of loans receivable associated with three properties.

RevPAR for Full-Service Lodging comparable company-operated North American hotels increased 9.0 percent to $121.62. Occupancy for these hotels increased to 72.8 percent, while average daily rates increased 7.5 percent to $167.07.

Financial results for our international operations were strong across most regions, generating a 13.2 percent RevPAR increase for comparable company-operated hotels. Occupancy increased 2.5 percentage points, while average daily rates increased to $141.50. We experienced strong demand particularly in China, Mexico, the Caribbean and Egypt, while the European markets generally remain less robust.

Select-Service Lodging ($ in millions)	Twenty-Four Weeks Ended				Change
	June 17, 2005		June 18, 2004		2005/2004
Revenues	$	565	$	511	11	%
Segment results	$	81	$	62	31	%

Select-Service Lodging includes our Courtyard, Fairfield Inn and SpringHill Suites brands. The $19 million increase in segment results reflects an $18 million increase in base management, incentive management and franchise fees, $6 million of stronger owned and leased results, $4 million of higher gains, and a $2 million increase in equity results, partially offset by $7 million of higher pre-tax general and administrative costs associated with our bedding incentive program. The increase in gains is primarily attributable to the repayment, before maturity, to us of the loan we made to the Courtyard Joint Venture (see the discussion which follows in “Liquidity and Capital Resources” under the caption “Courtyard Joint Venture”). The increase in fees is largely due to higher RevPAR, driven primarily by rate increases as well as by occupancy improvements, favorably impacting property level house profits (above minimum thresholds), and to the growth in the number of rooms. Across our Select-Service Lodging segment, we have added 72 hotels (8,921 rooms) and deflagged 39 hotels (4,860 rooms) since the second quarter of 2004.

Extended-Stay Lodging ($ in millions)	Twenty-Four Weeks Ended				Change
	June 17, 2005		June 18, 2004		2005/2004
Revenues	$	262	$	244	7	%
Segment results	$	29	$	28	4	%

Extended-Stay Lodging includes our Residence Inn, TownePlace Suites, Marriott Executive Apartments, and Marriott ExecuStay brands. Our base and incentive management fees were $6 million higher than last year while our franchise fees, principally associated with our Residence Inn brand, increased $4 million. The increase in franchise fees is largely due to higher RevPAR and the growth in the number of rooms. Since the second quarter of 2004, across our Extended-Stay Lodging segment, we have added 30 hotels (3,332 rooms) and deflagged one hotel (80 rooms). Corporate housing and other revenue, net of direct costs declined $6 million compared to a year ago primarily as a result of the shift towards franchising for our ExecuStay brand and gains were $4 million lower than last year. General and administrative costs were favorable to the prior year by $4 million, primarily reflecting pre-tax expenses in 2005 of $4 million related to our bedding incentive program, more than offset by lower other general and administrative costs, including lower costs associated with ExecuStay’s shift towards franchising.

RevPAR for Select-Service and Extended-Stay Lodging comparable company-operated North American hotels increased 9.5 percent to $76.32. Occupancy for these hotels increased to 73.7 percent, while average daily rates increased 8.7 percent to $103.57.

Timeshare ($ in millions)	Twenty-Four Weeks Ended				Change
	June 17, 2005		June 18, 2004		2005/2004
Revenues	$	782	$	735	6	%
Segment results	$	143	$	101	42	%

Timeshare includes our Marriott Vacation Club International, The Ritz-Carlton Club, Marriott Grand Residence Club and Horizons by Marriott Vacation Club International brands. Timeshare revenues of $782 million in 2005 and $735 million in 2004 include interval sales, base management fees, resort rental fees, and cost reimbursements. Timeshare contract sales, including sales made by our timeshare joint venture projects, which represent sales of timeshare intervals before adjustment for percentage of completion accounting, were down 3 percent as compared to last year reflecting limited available inventory at Ritz-Carlton projects in the current year versus strong Ritz-Carlton contract sales in the year ago period. The favorable segment results versus the prior year reflect a 14 percent increase in timeshare interval sales and services revenue primarily reflecting higher financially reportable development revenue, higher margins primarily resulting from the mix of units sold, $4 million of higher gains associated with land sales and our note sale, higher services income, relatively flat joint venture results and $3 million of increased general and administrative expenses. The increase in financing income is primarily due to a higher average notes receivable portfolio balance in 2005 and a note sale gain of $29 million in 2005 versus $27 million in the prior year.

40

Synthetic Fuel

For the twenty-four weeks ended June 17, 2005, the synthetic fuel operation generated revenue of $206 million versus revenue of $111 million for the twenty-four weeks ended June 18, 2004, primarily due to the accounting impact associated with the consolidation of our synthetic fuel operations from the start of the 2004 second quarter versus accounting for the synthetic fuel operations using the equity method of accounting in the 2004 first quarter.

We adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” (“FIN 46(R)”) on the last day of the 2004 first quarter. As a result of adopting FIN 46(R), we consolidated the synthetic fuel operations. Accordingly, as we accounted for the synthetic fuel operations using the equity method of accounting throughout the 2004 first quarter, there was no revenue or operating income impact, whereas there was both a revenue and an operating income impact in the first quarter of 2005.

The $20 million increase in synthetic fuel net income to $62 million from $42 million is primarily due to our increased proportion of tax credits associated with the three synthetic fuel facilities that were under IRS review, and equity losses in 2004 versus none in 2005, partially offset by our decreased proportion of tax credits associated with the facility that was not under IRS review and lower gains and other income in 2005 reflecting lower earn-out payments received from our partner. In addition, higher operating losses reflect the impact of FIN 46(R) as noted above and cost increases, offset to some extent by lower production.

41

The table below details the impact of our Synthetic Fuel segment on our tax benefit (provision) and net income:

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Requirements and our Credit Facilities

We are party to a multicurrency revolving credit agreement that provides for aggregate borrowings of $2 billion expiring in 2010, which supports our commercial paper program and letters of credit. This facility became effective on June 6, 2005, replacing two multicurrency credit agreements in the same aggregate amount which would otherwise have expired in 2006. As with the facilities it replaced, borrowings under this new facility bear interest at LIBOR plus a spread based on our public debt rating. With the exception of the 2010 expiration date, the material terms of the new credit agreement are the same as those of the replaced agreements.

At June 17, 2005, we had no loans outstanding under the facility. At June 17, 2005, our cash balances combined with our available borrowing capacity under the credit facility amounted to $2.4 billion. We consider these resources, together with cash we expect to generate from operations, adequate to meet our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements, finance our long-term growth plans, meet debt service and fulfill other cash requirements, including repayment of our Series B senior notes totaling $200 million which mature on November 15, 2005.

Cash and equivalents totaled $471 million at June 17, 2005, a decrease of $299 million from year-end 2004, reflecting activity for the twenty-four weeks ended June 17, 2005 including: purchases of treasury stock ($753 million); equity and cost method investments ($210 million) including, as described below, the “Marriott and Whitbread Joint Venture;” capital expenditures ($133 million); dividend payments ($38 million) and other cash outflows net of other cash inflows ($55 million). Partially offsetting these cash outflows were cash inflows associated with the following: loan collections and sales net of advances ($417 million) including the loan associated with the Courtyard Joint Venture as described below; strong operations ($333 million); common stock issuances ($87 million); and debt issuances net of debt repayments ($53 million).

42

While our timeshare business generates strong operating cash flow, the timing of both cash outlays for the acquisition and development of new resorts and cash received from purchaser financing affects quarterly amounts. We include timeshare interval sales we finance in cash from operations when we collect cash payments or the notes are sold for cash. The following table shows the net operating activity from our timeshare business (which excludes the portion of net income from our timeshare business):

	Twenty-Four Weeks Ended
($ in millions)	June 17, 2005			June 18, 2004

Asset Securitizations and Other

In June 2005, we sold $196 million of notes receivable generated by our timeshare business in connection with the sale of timeshare intervals. In conjunction with the sale, we received net proceeds of $176 million, retained residual interests of $50 million, and recorded a gain of $29 million. We used the following key assumptions to measure the fair value of the residual interests: discount rate of 8.15 percent; expected annual prepayments, including defaults, of 19.16 percent; expected weighted average life of prepayable notes receivable, excluding prepayments and defaults, of 72 months; and expected weighted average life of prepayable notes receivable, including prepayments and defaults, of 37 months. Our key assumptions are based on experience.

In the second quarter of 2005 we also sold one lodging note for cash proceeds of $34 million. In addition, including the mezzanine loan associated with the Courtyard Joint Venture (described more fully below under the caption “Courtyard Joint Venture”), $367 million of notes receivable due to us have been repaid since year-end 2004.

Debt

In the first half of 2005, debt increased by $107 million, due to the second quarter 2005 issuance of $348 million (book value) of Series F senior notes (described more fully below) and other debt increases of $34 million, partially offset by the maturity in April 2005 of $275 million of Series D senior notes.

On June 9, 2005, we entered into a Terms Agreement with Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and other Underwriters to sell $350 million aggregate principal amount of 4 ⁵/8 percent Series F Notes due 2012 (the “Notes”). The offering of the Notes closed on June 14, 2005. We received net proceeds of approximately $346 million from this offering, after deducting a discount and underwriting fees, and we used these proceeds to repay commercial paper borrowings and for general corporate purposes.

Interest on the Notes will be paid on June 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing on December 15, 2005. The Notes will mature on June 15, 2012, and are redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time under the terms provided in the Form of Note. The Notes were issued under an indenture with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (formerly known as The Chase Manhattan Bank), as trustee, dated as of November 16, 1998.

43

Share Repurchases

We purchased 12.3 million shares of our Class A Common Stock during the twenty-four weeks ended June 17, 2005, at an average price of $63.86 per share.

Courtyard Joint Venture

During the 2005 second quarter, Sarofim Realty Advisors (“Sarofim”), on behalf of an institutional investor, completed the acquisition of a 75 percent interest in the Courtyard Joint Venture, and we signed new long-term management agreements with the joint venture. The transaction will result in an accelerating pace of reinventions and upgrades at the joint venture’s hotels.

Prior to Sarofim’s acquisition, we and Host Marriott owned equal shares in the 120-property joint venture. With the addition of the new equity, our interest in the joint venture has declined to approximately 21 percent and Host Marriott’s interest declined to less than 4 percent. As part of the completed transaction, our mezzanine loan to the joint venture (including accrued interest) totaling approximately $269 million was repaid. We are making available to the joint venture a seven year subordinated loan of up to $129 million, primarily to fund renovation costs in 2005 and 2006 for the remaining hotels in the portfolio. No fundings have yet occurred.

Marriott and Whitbread Joint Venture

We announced in the first quarter of 2005 that we had signed an agreement with Whitbread PLC (“Whitbread”) to establish a 50/50 joint venture to acquire Whitbread’s portfolio of 46 franchised Marriott and Renaissance hotels of over 8,000 rooms, and for us to take over management of the entire portfolio of hotels upon the transfer of the hotels to the new joint venture. Closing occurred in the 2005 second quarter.

Whitbread sold its interest in the 46 hotels to the joint venture for approximately £995 million. Whitbread received approximately £710 million in cash (including £620 million from senior debt proceeds) and 50 percent of the preferred and ordinary shares of the joint venture and non-voting deferred consideration shares valued at £285 million. We contributed approximately £90 million ($171 million) in the second quarter of 2005 for the remaining 50 percent of the preferred and ordinary shares of the joint venture. As the joint venture sells the hotels, our interest in the joint venture will be redeemed. The joint venture expects to sell properties to investors over the next two years subject to long-term management agreements with us.

CTF Holdings Ltd. (“CTF”)

During the 2005 second quarter, we signed a purchase and sale agreement with CTF to purchase 32 properties (in each case through a purchase of real estate, a purchase of the entity that owned the hotel, or an assignment of CTF’s leasehold rights) and certain joint venture interests from CTF for an aggregate price of $1,452 million. At that time, all of the properties were operated by us or our subsidiaries and included 29 Renaissance Hotels & Resorts brand properties and three Courtyard brand properties. The agreement permitted us to designate substitute purchasers at closing. Sunstone Hotel Investors, Inc. (“Sunstone”), Walton Street Capital, L.L.C. (“Walton Street”), and Tarsadia Hotels (“Tarsadia”) signed separate agreements with us to be substitute purchasers and acquire 15 hotels and certain joint venture interests from CTF for approximately $1 billion at the transaction’s closing. Sunstone agreed to purchase five hotels and one joint venture interest for $419 million, Walton Street agreed to purchase eight hotels for $578 million, and Tarsadia agreed to purchase two hotels for $29 million. Walton Street and Sunstone also agreed to invest a combined $68 million to further upgrade the 13 hotels they were acquiring and enter into new long-term management agreements with us.

The Walton Street, Sunstone, and Tarsadia closings took place on June 23, 2005, after the end of our second quarter. We continue to manage the hotels purchased by Walton Street and Sunstone under long-term agreements. The two hotels purchased by Tarsadia are being operated under short-term management and franchise agreements.

We also completed the purchase of 12 hotels from CTF, on June 23, 2005, for an aggregate price of $374 million and are currently discussing the sale of a number of these hotels with potential purchasers. Our purchase of the five remaining hotels and a joint venture interest, which represent $52 million of the previously announced total purchase price was postponed pending receipt of certain third-party consents. We expect to close on those remaining hotels before the end of the year. We plan to sell 11 of the hotels we purchase in this transaction to third-party owners. The remaining six hotels are operated under leases, five of which expire by 2012.

44

We and CTF also exchanged legal releases effective as of the closing date, and the litigation and arbitration between the two companies is now dismissed, including litigation and arbitration involving CTF and its affiliates described under Footnote No. 6, “Contingencies.”

On the closing date we and CTF also modified management agreements on 29 other CTF-leased hotels, 28 located in Europe and one hotel located in the United States. We became secondarily liable for annual rent payments for certain of these hotels when we acquired the Renaissance Hotel Group N.V. in 1997. We will continue to manage 16 of these hotels under new long-term management agreements. CTF has placed approximately $89 million in trust accounts to cover possible shortfalls in cash flow necessary to meet rent payments under these leases. In turn, we released CTF affiliates from their guarantees in connection with these leases. Our third quarter financial statements will reflect us as lessee on these hotels with minimum annual payments of approximately $48 million.

For the remaining 13 European leased hotels, CTF may terminate management agreements with us as CTF obtains releases from landlords of our back-up guarantees. Pending completion of the CTF-landlord agreements, we continue to manage these hotels under modified management agreements and remain secondarily liable under certain of these leases. CTF has made available €35 million in cash collateral in the event that we are required to fund under such guarantees. As CTF obtains releases from the landlords and these hotels exit the system, our contingent liabilities will decline.

We also continue to manage three hotels in the United Kingdom under amended management agreements with CTF-affiliated companies and continue to manage 14 properties in Asia on behalf of New World Development Company Limited and its affiliates. CTF’s principals are officers, directors and stockholders of New World Development Company Limited. The owners of the UK and Asian hotels have agreed to invest $17 million to renovate those properties.

In the 2005 second quarter we recorded a $94 million pre-tax charge primarily due to the non-cash write-off of deferred contract acquisition costs associated with the expected termination of the existing management agreements. As described above, we entered into new long-term management agreements with CTF, Walton Street and Sunstone at the closing of the transactions, and we expect that the hotels we acquired will also be sold subject to long-term management agreements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. We have discussed those estimates that we believe are critical and require the use of complex judgment in their application in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2004. Since the date of that Form 10-K, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies or the methodologies or assumptions we apply under them.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our exposure to market risk has not materially changed since December 31, 2004.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), and management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding management’s control objectives. You should note that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and we cannot assure you that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote. Based upon the foregoing evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the second quarter of 2005, we began the phased implementation of an enterprise-wide general ledger and financial reporting system, which will be implemented across all business units over the next several quarters. The implementation is being performed in the ordinary course of business to improve efficiency through the use of a single common application platform with more current technology.

There have been no other changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first two quarters that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The interest on such sums shall accrue from the Effective Date to the date of such payment(s) at the Closing Interest Rate.

Section 3.4 Currency of Payments. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, all payments to or from any party shall be made in United States dollars.

Section 3.5 Management Fees. Not later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing, the Buyer shall deliver to the Seller an estimate, as of the Effective Date, of the unpaid Management Fees and Reimbursables for each Hotel through the Effective Date (collectively, the “Estimated Management Fees”). Such estimate shall be prepared in good faith, in accordance with the Buyer’s Accounting Practices for the Hotels under the Hotel Management Agreements and shall be accompanied by supporting documentation itemized by Hotel; provided, however, that the incentive fees under the Hotel Management Agreements for 2004 and 2005 shall be as set forth on Schedule 3.5.

Section 3.8 Unrestricted Allowances for Fiscal Year 2005. Seller waives all of its right to receive any Unrestricted Allowances (as defined in the 1999 Agreement) with respect to fiscal year 2004. At Closing, the Seller shall pay the Buyer $1,405,317, which the parties agree represents the amount of Unrestricted Allowances Buyer previously paid Seller with respect to fiscal year 2004. With regard to the Hotel Interests conveyed at Closing, Seller waives all of its right to receive any Unrestricted Allowances allocable to such Hotel Interests with respect to any portion of fiscal year 2005.

Section 3.9 Certain Transaction Costs.

(a) For the Hotels listed on Schedules 2.1(a) and (c), the Seller shall be allocated one-half of the Transfer Taxes which would be payable if such Hotels were transferred pursuant to the Target Sale at the Preliminary Allocated Price. For the Hotels listed on Schedule 2.1(b), the Seller shall be allocated one-half of the Transfer Taxes payable pursuant to the Lease Assignment & Sale at the Preliminary Allocated Price. Schedule 3.9 sets forth the parties’ initial estimate of the Transfer Taxes to be incurred in connection with the Fee Sale, Target Sale and Lease Assignment & Sale as well as the estimated amount thereof to be allocated to the Seller and the Buyer. Schedule 3.9 shall be adjusted by the Seller and the Buyer from time-to-time until the Closing to reflect any elections made by the Buyer hereunder and calculations made by the Title Company based upon the actual amount of Transfer Taxes due and payable in the applicable jurisdictions as of the Closing Date.

(b) Regardless of Law or convention, it shall be the responsibility of the Buyer to pay or cause to be paid all Transfer Taxes and otherwise complete and file all Tax Returns in connection therewith in a timely manner. The Seller shall cooperate with the Buyer as reasonably requested by the Buyer in connection with the preparation and filing of such Tax Returns. The Unadjusted Purchase Price shall be reduced at Closing by the total amount of Transfer Taxes allocated to the Seller that are actually paid or payable by the Buyer, and the Preliminary Allocated Price related to each Hotel Interest affected thereby shall be reduced accordingly.

Section 3.10 Purchase Price Allocation.

(a) The parties have agreed upon the amount of the Preliminary Allocated Price for the Seller’s interest in each of the Hotels, the Management Interest and the Minority Owned Entities, which amounts are set forth on Schedules 2.1(a)-(e). The Buyer and the Seller agree that where the Preliminary Allocated Price of any Hotel is a negative value, the Closing Allocated Price shall be $0.00 for United States federal income tax purposes, and such aggregate negative value shall be allocated pro rata among the other Hotels, the Management Interest and the Minority Owned Entities being purchased hereunder based on the Preliminary Allocated Prices of such other interests. By written notice to the Seller given not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing, the Buyer may modify the Preliminary Allocated Price for any such interest within the range permitted in Schedules 2.1(a)-(e), as applicable (each such Preliminary Allocated Price as modified the “Closing Allocated Price”), provided, however, that the total amount of all Closing Allocated Prices shall at all times equal the Unadjusted Purchase Price, as it may be adjusted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Closing Allocated Price of each property shall be set forth on Schedules 2.1(a)-(e), which shall be delivered by the Buyer to the Seller at Closing, provided, however, that to the extent such allocations result in change in the total amount of Transfer Taxes allocated to the Seller as set forth on Schedule 3.9, such difference shall be borne by the Buyer. In the event of any purchase price adjustment hereunder, the Seller and the Buyer agree to adjust any previously agreed purchase price allocation to reflect such purchase price adjustment and to file Tax Returns consistent with such agreed allocation.

(b) The Buyer and the Seller agree that the Closing Allocated Price for each Hotel Interest shall be adjusted to reflect the Adjusted Purchase Price as determined at the Closing. For each Hotel Interest the purchase of which is treated as an asset purchase for United States federal income tax purposes, the Adjusted Purchase Price, as so adjusted, plus any liabilities attributable to such Hotel Interest that are liabilities for United States tax purposes, shall be allocated for federal income tax purposes among the assets acquired thereby as agreed to by the parties and, if no agreement is reached, as reasonably determined by each of the parties. Subject to the requirements of applicable Law, the Buyer and the Seller, and each of their Affiliates, shall file all Tax Returns, consistent with the Closing Allocated Price adjusted to take into account purchase price adjustments at the Closing and with any other allocation that is agreed in respect of a particular Hotel Interest. In the event of any purchase price adjustment hereunder, the Seller and the Buyer agree to adjust any previously agreed purchase price allocation to reflect such purchase price adjustment and to file Tax Returns consistent with such agreed allocation.

Section 3.11 Closing.

If, in the Seller’s reasonable estimate (based on, among other things, the advice of the Dealer-Manager), the Solicitation Costs are projected at any time to exceed the amount set forth on Schedule 4.1(b), the Seller may, upon notice to Paragon (with a copy to the Buyer), terminate its agreement to pay the Solicitation Costs upon the expiration of five (5) Business Days following such notice (thereby releasing Paragon from its agreement to conduct the Offer and Solicitation), unless prior thereto the Seller receives written confirmation from the Buyer that it undertakes to assume and pay all Solicitation Costs in excess of the amount set forth on Schedule 4.1(b) (it being understood that Buyer shall be under no obligation to do so).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there shall not be assigned (or novated) to the Buyer or its Designee any Material Contract or if an attempted assignment (or novation) thereof without the consent of the other party or parties thereto would constitute a breach thereof or in any way adversely affect the rights of the Seller thereunder and such consent is not obtained, or if an attempted assignment (or novation) would be ineffective or would affect the rights of the Seller thereunder so that the Buyer would not, in fact, receive the benefits thereof, the Seller covenants and agrees that in such case, the beneficial interest in and to any such Material Contract shall, to the extent permitted by the relevant Material Contract and by Law, pass to the Buyer or its Designee, and the Seller will: (i) hold all such Material Contracts in trust for the benefit of the Buyer, its successors, assigns or Designees, from and after the Closing Date (with effect from the Effective Date), (ii) use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain and secure any and all consents and approvals that may be necessary to effect such assignment or assignments (or novations) of the same and (iii) make or complete such assignment or assignments (or novations) as soon as reasonably possible.

(c) Subject to Section 9.2, the parties shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to obtain consents from the applicable lessors or landlords sufficient to create a valid assignment of the Leasehold Interests to the Buyer or its Designee without causing the Buyer or its Designee to incur additional liabilities or limitations of any rights as assignee of the Leasehold Interests.

(e) Subject to Section 9.2, the parties agree that, except with respect to the Hotel identified on Schedule 7.9(e) as not requiring an estoppel certificate, they shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain an estoppel certificate from the applicable lessors or landlords under the Leases containing the information required by the terms of the Leases or, in the event that no such requirements are set forth therein, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Buyer and addressed to (i) in the case of a Lease Assignment & Sale, the Buyer or its Designee, as the case may be, or (ii) in the case of a Target Sale, the Target (collectively, the “Estoppel Certificates”).

Section 7.11 Public Announcements. The parties shall consult with each other before issuing any press release with respect to this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, and neither party nor its Representatives shall criticize, disparage, defame or otherwise make any statement which would reflect negatively on (i) the other party, (ii) any current or former employees, officers, directors, agents or other persons associated with the either party, (iii) any of the services provided by either party or (iv) any of the current or past business practices of either party.

Execution Copy 46

not released prior to or at the Closing, the Buyer will provide the Seller and its Affiliates at the Closing with an indemnity in respect of such Guarantee in the form of the Indemnification Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit O, provided, however, that with respect to the Renaissance Cleveland Hotel, if the Buyer subsequently transfers such Leasehold Interest, the Buyer shall be permitted to substitute the transferee or another party as the indemnitor under the Indemnification Agreement, so long as such transferee or other party meets the requirements set forth on Schedule 9.2(b). Upon such substitution, the Buyer shall be released from all obligations under the Indemnification Agreement.

ARTICLE 8

TAX MATTERS

Section 8.1 Tax Returns.

(a) The Seller shall prepare, or shall cause to be prepared, and shall file or cause to be filed, all income Tax Returns of any Target for taxable years that end on the Closing Date, and all other Tax Returns the due date of which is before the Closing Date. The Buyer shall cooperate, and cause each of the Targets to cooperate, with the reasonable requests of the Seller in connection with the filing of any such Tax Return, including, without limitation, the execution of any such Tax Return (provided that such Tax Return is complete in all material respects and there is a reasonable basis (or analogous standard under the laws of the relevant jurisdiction) for the positions taken in such Tax Return) or of any other document required to be filed with any Taxing authority in connection therewith. Except as required by applicable law, such Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner that is consistent with past practice.

(b) The Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared and shall file or cause to be filed all other Tax Returns of the Targets. Except as required by applicable law, such Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner that is consistent with past practice. The Buyer shall deliver a copy of any Tax Returns in respect of which the Seller is required to make a payment pursuant to this Agreement, completed in draft form, at least 15 days before the due date thereof for the review and approval of Seller, which is not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and a schedule, in reasonable detail, of the amount of payment due to Buyer. If Seller approves such Tax Return, it shall pay the amount owed Buyer before the due date of such Tax Return.

Section 8.2 Seller’s Obligations. Except in the case of (i) any Taxes imposed as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Buyer pursuant to the management of the Hotels under the Hotel Management Agreements, (ii) Transfer Taxes governed by Section 3.9, (iii) any Sales, Use & Occupancy Tax Audit Liabilities and (iv) Taxes governed by Schedule 2.1(b)-1, and except to the extent that Taxes (including real property taxes) are taken into account in the definition of Working Capital, the Seller shall be responsible for and pay, and shall indemnify the Buyer and the Targets from, (a) any and all Taxes imposed on any of the Targets, or for which a Target is liable, for any taxable period ending on or before the Effective Date and the portion through the end of the Effective Date for any taxable period that includes but does not end on the Effective Date (the “Pre-Closing Tax Period”); provided, however, that in the event of Vinoy Club L.C., Vinoy Investments LP, SWW No. 1 LLC, and SAS Valmy, the Seller’s obligations shall be limited to the amount of Tax imposed on any such entity multiplied

Execution Copy 47

by the percentage interest in the entity transferred pursuant to this agreement; provided further, however, that the Seller shall not be responsible for any Taxes arising out of events outside the ordinary course of business and within the control of the Buyer occurring on the Closing Date after the Closing, (b) any and all Taxes imposed on any of the Targets or Selling Entities, or for which a Target or Selling Entity becomes liable, for any taxable period ending after the Effective Date to the extent that such Taxes result from a transaction or an event occurring on or before the Effective Date, (c) any Taxes arising out of a breach of the representations in Section 5.16 and (d) any costs or expenses with respect to Taxes indemnified hereunder. The Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold the Buyer harmless from, and shall be entitled to any refund of (unless the refund was credited pursuant to the Working Capital adjustments set forth in Article 3), any and all Taxes that are the Seller’s responsibility pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. Any indemnity payment required to be made by the Seller pursuant to this Section 8.2 shall be made within 30 days of written notice from the Buyer.

Section 8.3 Buyer’s Obligations. Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.2, from and after the Effective Date, the Buyer and the Targets shall be solely responsible for the payment or discharge of all Taxes imposed on the any of the Targets and any costs or expenses with respect to taxes indemnified hereunder. The Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold the Seller harmless from, and shall be entitled to any refund of, any and all Taxes that are the Buyer’s responsibility pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. Any indemnity payment required to be made by the Buyer pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall be made within 30 days of written notice from the Seller.

Section 8.4 Straddle Period. In the case of any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Effective Date (a “Straddle Period”), the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income or receipts of a Target for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Effective Date (and for such purpose, the taxable period of any partnership or other pass-through entity in which the Target holds a beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate at such time) and the amount of other Taxes of a Target for a Straddle Period that relates to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Effective Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period. The benefits of lower tax brackets and other similar benefits shall be apportioned in making the calculation of such allocated portions on the basis of the number of days in the Buyer’s or its Designee’s, as the case may be, and the Seller’s holding periods for the taxable period beginning before and ending after the Effective Date.

Section 8.5 Contests. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Contest” is any audit, court proceeding or other dispute with respect to any tax matter that affects a Target. Unless the Buyer has previously received written notice from the Seller of the existence of such Contest, the Buyer shall give written notice to the Seller of the existence of any Contest relating to a tax matter that is the Seller’s responsibility under Section 8.2 within ten (10) days from the receipt by the Buyer of any written notice of such Contest, but no failure to give such notice shall relieve the Seller of any liability hereunder. Unless the Seller has previously received written notice from the Buyer of the existence of such Contest, the Seller shall give written notice to the Buyer of the existence of any Contest for which the Buyer has responsibility within ten (10) days from the receipt by

Execution Copy 48

the Seller of any written notice of such Contest. The Buyer, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other, agree, in each case at no cost to the other party, to cooperate with the other and the other’s Representatives in a prompt and timely manner in connection with any Contest. Such cooperation shall include, but not be limited to, making available to the other party, during normal business hours, all books, records, Tax Returns, documents, files, other information (including working papers and schedules), officers or employees (without substantial interruption of employment) or other relevant information necessary or useful in connection with any Contest requiring any such books, records and files. The Seller shall, at its election, have the right to represent a Target’s interests in any Contest relating to a Tax matter arising in a period ending on or before the Effective Date, to employ counsel of its choice at its expense and to control the conduct of such Contest, including settlement or other disposition thereof; provided, however, that the Buyer shall have the right to consult with the Seller regarding any such Contest that may affect such Target for any periods ending after the Effective Date at the Buyer’s own expense and provided, further, that any settlement or other disposition of any such Contest may only be with the consent of the Buyer, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

Section 8.6 Price Adjustment. All amounts paid pursuant to this Agreement by one party to another party (other than interest payments and payments pursuant to Section 3.5, which shall be treated as management fees) shall be treated by such parties as an adjustment to the Unadjusted Purchase Price, to the extent appropriate and permitted by law.

Section 8.7 After-Tax Basis. All payments due in respect of Non-United States Taxes under this Article 8 shall be fully adjusted to reflect (i) any net increase in Taxes that the recipient of such payments will experience as a result of receiving such payments, (ii) any net increase in Taxes such recipient will experience as a result of receiving any gross-up payments under this Section 8.7 and (iii) any net Tax benefits that the recipient will incur as a result of the payment of the indemnified tax.

Section 8.8 Elections. Seller shall cooperate fully with Buyer and the Targets, to the extent necessary and to the extent reasonably requested by Buyer, in connection with the filing of any elections relating to Taxes which become available to Buyer or any of the Targets as a result of the transactions described in this Agreement; provided, however, that Seller shall not be obligated to consent to an election if such election would increase the amount of Taxes it is required to pay unless the parties otherwise agree.

Section 8.9 Survival. All obligations under this Article 8 shall survive the Closing hereunder and continue until 90 days following the expiration of the period of limitations applicable to the related Tax. If a Tax claim that is raised by one party during the survival period is disputed by the other party, such claim shall survive until the dispute between the parties is resolved.

ARTICLE 9

TITLE COMMITMENT AND SURVEY REVIEW PROCESS;

CONDITIONS TO CLOSING

Section 9.1 Title Commitment and Survey Review Process.

(a) Title Review Process. Buyer shall initiate the title review process promptly following the date of this Agreement, which shall consist of (i) with respect to the Leased Real Property, the Owned Real Property and the real property owned by any Minority Owned Entity located in the United States and other jurisdictions where consistent with local practice, (A) ordering from the Title Company a Uniform Commercial Code financing statement search including a search on any Target and a commitment for owner’s title insurance, on such policy form as is available in the applicable jurisdiction as selected by Buyer, and (B) ordering from Bock & Clark Corporation National Surveyors Network (“Surveyor”) an ALTA survey with such instructions regarding information to be shown and the scope of certification as Buyer shall determine, and (ii) with respect to all other Leased Real Property and Owned Real Property (together with such properties referenced in clause 9.1(a)(i) above, the “Real Properties”), ordering of such title and survey type investigative work as may be appropriate and available under local practice for the determination of the nature and quality of title (the “Non-U.S. Hotel Investigative Work”). The Uniform Commercial Code financing statement search results and the title commitments, surveys and Non-U.S. Hotel Investigative Work obtained by Buyer, as revised or updated from time to time, are herein referred to as “Title Materials.” Copies of all Title Materials shall be provided to Seller’s counsel as and when received, which copies shall not be required to be returned. During the period from the date of this Agreement and ending at 11:59 pm, May 7, 2005, Buyer shall notify the Seller in writing of those matters relating to title disclosed to Buyer in the Title Materials or otherwise disclosed in materials received by Buyer at least forty-eight (48) hours prior to 11:59 pm, May 7, 2005 to which Buyer objects (including, for example, the size or configuration of any Real Properties which are not acceptable to Buyer) and that are not Permitted Encumbrances set forth in items (b) through (e) of the definition thereof (collectively, the “Buyer’s Objections”). As to matters relating to title disclosed in the Title Materials or otherwise disclosed in materials received by Buyer within forty-eight (48) hours prior to 11:59 pm, May 7, 2005, Buyer shall notify Seller in writing of its Title Objections within forty-eight (48) hours of its receipt of such materials, but in no event later than 11:59 pm, May 9, 2005 (the “Objection Period”). Buyer shall endeavor to deliver the Buyer’s Objections in a reasonably expeditious manner and on a property-by-property basis commencing no later than the date hereof and thereafter as soon as reasonably practical after the date Buyer receives the applicable portion of the Title Materials. Buyer shall not be deemed to waive its right to make Buyer’s Objections even if Buyer’s Objections are not made in a reasonably expeditious manner, so long as Buyer’s Objections are made during the Objection Period. If Buyer has not received any of the Non-U.S. Hotel Investigative Work on or before May 5, 2005, Buyer’s Objections may be based upon the failure to receive the Non-U.S. Hotel Investigative Work as it relates to any particular Real Properties.

(b) Title Polices. Prior to the expiration of the Objection Period, Buyer shall obtain from the Title Company, with respect to the Leased Real Property and the Owned Real Property, in all jurisdictions where available, a commitment to insure accompanied by a Pro Forma title policy, in form acceptable to Buyer (each, a “Pro Forma”). Each Pro Forma shall be

Execution Copy 50

written on an ALTA Form B (1970, amended 10/17/70, or if the 1970, amended 10/17/70 form is not available, the 1992 form with no creditors’ rights exclusion (except in States or jurisdictions where such form or deletion is not permitted)) or on such similar form as is available in the applicable jurisdiction, insuring extended owner’s title coverage and shall evidence Title Company’s commitment, upon compliance with the Title Company’s requirements as set forth in the Title Company’s commitments to insure (the “Requirements”), to insure title to the Real Property that is the subject of any Pro Forma, subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances. The Pro Formas shall be in form and substance acceptable to Buyer, and shall include all endorsements reasonably required by Buyer. Buyer shall deliver all Pro Formas and Requirements (including the form of any affidavits or certifications required to be executed by Seller in satisfaction of a Requirement) to Seller’s counsel no later than the expiration of the Objection Period.

(c) Title Cure Period. Upon the termination of the Objection Period, except for the Buyer’s Objections if the same are timely raised, the Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted the form and substance of all matters disclosed in the Title Materials which shall become Permitted Encumbrances for all purposes under the terms of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. Following the Objection Period, and without any obligation to do so, the Seller shall have until May 16, 2005, or by delivery of written notice to Buyer by Seller, until such later date, but not beyond May 23, 2005 (as such date may have been extended, the “Title Cure Period”) to elect to cure or elect not to cure any or all matters raised in Buyer’s Objections (it being agreed that the Seller shall cause to be released, by the Closing, any liens securing any Debt not assumed by the Buyer pursuant to terms of this Agreement). If Seller elects to cure such Title Objections, the cure must be sufficient for the Title Company to remove the applicable Title Objection from the exceptions to title set forth in the applicable Pro Forma.

(d) Termination of Title Cure Period. If, for any reason, Seller is unable or at Seller’s sole election, unwilling to take such actions as may be required to cause the matter identified in Buyer’s Objections to be cured or removed so as to convey title to the Real Properties consistent with the Pro Formas, or if Seller objects to any Requirement or any other obligation which it may incur in connection with the issuance of the Pro Formas title policies, Seller shall give Buyer notice thereof prior to the expiration of the Title Cure Period; it being understood and agreed that the failure of Seller to timely give such notice shall be deemed an election by Seller not to remedy such matters. If Seller shall elect not (or be deemed to elect not) to remove any matter identified in Buyer’s Objections, Buyer may, in the exercise of its sole discretion either: (i) close the Transaction with respect to the Real Properties subject to the Buyer’s Objections (that Seller will not cure) without abatement of the Unadjusted Purchase Price, in which event: (A) the Buyer’s Objections that Seller will not cure shall be, and be deemed to be, for all purposes, Permitted Encumbrances; (B) the Buyer shall close the Transactions notwithstanding the existence of any of the Buyer’s Objections that Seller will not cure; and (C) the Seller shall have no obligation or liability whatsoever after the Closing with respect to the Seller’s failure to cause any of the Buyer’s Objections to be eliminated; or (ii) terminate this Agreement by written notice given to the Seller within seven (7) calendar days after expiration of the Title Cure Period, in which event this Agreement shall terminate and neither party hereto shall have any further obligations hereunder other than those obligations expressly stated herein to survive the termination of this Agreement. In the event Buyer elects to proceed to Closing, the Pro Formas shall be revised to (1) delete those Requirements objected to

Execution Copy 51

by the Seller and (2) add the Buyer’s Objections that the Seller will not cure so that the Pro Forma’s shall be consistent with the quality of title accepted or deemed accepted by the Buyer pursuant to this Section 9.1(d).

(e) Requirement to Eliminate Buyer’s Objections; Requirement to Remove Liens; Additional Title Matters. It is expressly understood that unless the Seller expressly agrees, in the exercise of its sole discretion, to cure or remove a matter identified in the Buyer’s Objections prior to Closing, the Seller shall not be required to bring any action, institute any proceeding, or otherwise incur any costs or expenses in order to attempt to eliminate any of the Buyer’s Objections or to otherwise cause title to the Real Properties to comport with the terms of this Agreement on the Closing Date; provided, however, that the Seller shall be obligated to remove (i) any liens that are filed against the Real Properties during the period after the expiration of the Title Cure Period and before the Closing, but only if they are recorded by the Seller or caused by the Seller’s actions or failure to act, and (ii) any liens securing any Debt not assumed by the Buyer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Should matters relative to title, other than liens the Seller is obligated to remove pursuant to the preceding sentence, be discovered from any update of the Title Materials received by the Buyer or otherwise after the expiration of the Objection Period that were not disclosed in the Title Materials received by the Buyer prior to the expiration of the Objection Period (collectively the “New Title Matters”), the Buyer shall have the right to notify the Seller in writing of any New Title Matters which are not Permitted Encumbrances set forth in items (b) through (e) of the definition thereof to which the Buyer objects, provided that Buyer notifies Seller, in writing, of its objection within forty-eight (48) hours after such matter is disclosed to Buyer. The Seller shall be obligated to remove any New Title Matters that are filed against any of the Real Properties during the period after the expiration of the Title Cure Period and before Closing but only if they are recorded by the Seller or caused by the Seller’s actions or failure to act. With respect to all other New Title Matters, the Seller shall within five days after receipt of notice of the New Title Matters, advise Buyer whether the Seller will cure such New Title Matters prior to the Closing Date. Should the Seller fail to cure or remove prior to the Closing Date any New Title Matter which is objected to by the Buyer, and should such New Title Matter materially and adversely impair the value or use of any of the Real Properties to which such objection relates, such failure shall constitute a failure of a condition to Buyer’s obligation to proceed to Closing with respect to the Real Properties affected by such New Title Matters, and the Buyer may, at its election, determine not to close with respect to such Real Properties. All other New Title Matters which are not cured or removed by the Seller shall be deemed waived by the Buyer and shall constitute Permitted Encumbrances for all purposes under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. If the Buyer elects not to close with respect to any Real Properties in accordance with this Section 9.1(e), in such case, the Unadjusted Purchase Price shall be decreased by the Preliminary Allocated Price applicable to any such Real Properties, and at Closing, Seller and Buyer shall enter into an amended hotel management agreement with respect to any such Real Properties in the form of Exhibit Q-1 for domestic Hotels and Exhibit Q-2 for international Hotels.

(f) Related Fees, Costs and Expenses. All the fees, costs and expenses associated with the Buyer’s procurement, preparation, delivery and review of the Title Materials, the issuance of title policies and any endorsements related thereto shall be for the account of the Buyer pursuant to Section 12.1 herein.

Execution Copy 52

(g) Seller Assurance. The Seller covenants and agrees to cooperate with the Buyer in connection with the Title Materials and the title review process and will provide such affidavits or other documents and information as the Buyer may reasonably require in order to obtain affirmative endorsements or other assurances available under local practice as the Buyer may require, including non-imputation endorsements, where applicable, provided, however, that (i) all of the foregoing requirements are commercially reasonable, (ii) the Seller shall not be obligated to provide any affidavit, certification or indemnification to the Title Company that causes the Seller to incur any liability in excess of its liability under this Agreement and (iii) the Seller shall not be obligated to provide any affidavit, certification or indemnification with respect to the Minority Owned Entities.

(h) Form of Fee Sale Transfer and Conveyance Documents. Not later than the expiration of the Objection Period, Buyer shall cause to be prepared and forwarded to Seller the proposed form of the deeds, bills of sale (including any Intellectual Property, Contracts and Permits), assignments, certificates, affidavits and such other instruments and documents (excluding any documents previously provided in connection with the Requirements) (collectively the “Proposed Conveyance Documents”) as may be reasonably necessary in order to consummate the Transactions and facilitate the issuance by the Title Company of the title insurance policies reasonably requested by Buyer and facilitate the obtaining of other commercially reasonable assurances available under local practice. Seller and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to agree upon the final form of the Proposed Conveyance Documents on or prior to the Closing Date. Buyer and Seller acknowledge and agree that the warranty of title set forth in the various deeds and other conveyancing documents shall be in accordance with the commercially reasonable customary practices of the applicable jurisdictions but in all cases sufficient to enable the Title Company to issue the title policies in the forms of the Pro Formas. The warranties of title contained in the various deeds shall not be subject to the provision of Section 10.8(b) of this Agreement. Nothing herein shall be construed as requiring the Seller to make any representations, warranties or covenants in the Proposed Conveyance Documents other than those contained in Article 5 and Article 7 of this Agreement.

Section 9.2 Lack of Consents or Estoppels for Certain Hotels.

(a) If any consent satisfying the requirements of Section 7.9(c) and required for the assignment of the Leasehold Interest in the Renaissance Downtown Atlanta Hotel, the Renaissance Oakbrook Hotel, or the Renaissance PineIsle Resort and Golf Club (each such hotel, an “Optional Consent Hotel”) is not obtained on or before the Closing Date, in such case:

(i) the Seller shall not assign to the Buyer the Leasehold Interest with respect to such Optional Consent Hotel at the Closing;

(ii) at the Closing, the Seller and the Buyer shall enter into an amended hotel management agreement for such Optional Consent Hotel for the remaining term of such Hotel’s Lease in the form of Exhibit P;

(iii) no adjustment to the Unadjusted Purchase Price shall be made in respect of such Optional Consent Hotel; and

Execution Copy 53

(iv) from and after the Closing through to December 31, 2005, the Seller and the Buyer shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain and secure consents and approvals that may be necessary to effect the assignment of an Optional Consent Hotel and, if obtained, make or complete such assignment as soon as reasonably possible, without the payment of additional consideration to or by the Seller or the Buyer.

(b) If any consent satisfying the requirements of Section 7.9(c) and required for the assignment of the Leasehold Interests in (1) the Renaissance Chicago Hotel, (2) the Renaissance Cleveland Hotel (including the sale of the Seller’s equity interest in Inn on the Square Associates), (3) the Renaissance Reading Hotel and (4) the Renaissance Manchester Hotel is not obtained or if any of the conditions set forth in Section 9.3 are not met with respect to the transfer of the Courtyard by Marriott Düsseldorf (each a “Mandatory Consent Hotel”) on or before the Closing Date, in such case:

(i) the Seller shall not assign to the Buyer the Leasehold Interest with respect to such Mandatory Consent Hotel at the Closing (and in the case of the Renaissance Cleveland Hotel, the Seller shall not sell its equity interests in Inn on the Square Associates);

(ii) at the Closing, the Seller and the Buyer shall enter into an amended hotel management agreement for the Mandatory Consent Hotel through June 30, 2015 for the Renaissance Chicago Hotel, Renaissance Cleveland Hotel and Courtyard by Marriott Düsseldorf and through the current term of the Lease (without regard to any renewal or extension thereof) for the Renaissance Reading Hotel and the Renaissance Manchester Hotel in the form of Exhibit Q-1 for domestic Hotels and Exhibit Q-2 for international Hotels;

(iii) The Unadjusted Purchase Price shall be decreased by the amount of the Preliminary Allocated Price for the Mandatory Consent Hotel; and

(iv) from and after the Closing through to December 31, 2005, the Seller and the Buyer shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain and secure consents and approvals that may be necessary to effect the assignment of the Leasehold Interest for such Mandatory Consent Hotel and if such consents and approvals are obtained and secured, to make or complete such assignment as soon as reasonably possible (and in the case of the Renaissance Cleveland Hotel, the Seller shall simultaneously sell the equity interests in Inn on the Square Associates), with the payment of additional consideration to the Seller in the amount of the Preliminary Allocated Price, it being understood that if such consent is not obtained, the provisions of clause (ii), above, shall continue to apply.

(c) If any Estoppel Certificate satisfying the requirements of Section 7.9(e) is not obtained prior to the Closing Date or if obtained, contains information which is inconsistent with Seller’s representations and warranties set forth herein, then Buyer shall elect to either: (i) proceed with the Closing with respect to the applicable Hotel or Hotels and waive any right to require the receipt of an Estoppel Certificate and the right to make a claim for indemnification against Seller under Article 10 based upon the facts or circumstances disclosed by the applicable Estoppel Certificate, or (ii) elect not to proceed with the Closing with respect to the applicable Hotel or Hotels (in which case the Unadjusted Purchase Price shall be decreased by the Preliminary Allocated Price for such Hotel or Hotels) in order to permit Seller a period of time

Execution Copy 54

during which to attempt to obtain an Estoppel Certificate in the form required hereby. In the event that Buyer elects under clause (ii) above to permit the Seller additional time to obtain an Estoppel Certificate and Seller fails to deliver an Estoppel Certificate satisfying the requirements of Section 7.9(e) to Buyer prior to December 31, 2005, then Buyer shall either (A) with respect to the Optional Consent Hotels, elect to have such Hotel for which the Estoppel Certificate was not obtained treated as an Optional Consent Hotel under Section 9.2(a) for which consent was not obtained or, with respect to all other Hotels, elect to have such Hotel treated as a Mandatory Consent Hotel under Section 9.2(b) for which consent was not obtained (except that, with respect to the Renaissance Vinoy Resort and Golf Club, the management agreement set forth on Exhibit Q-1 for domestic Hotels and Exhibit Q-2 for international Hotels, shall run through the term of the existing Hotel Management Agreement, including any optional renewal periods therein), or (B) proceed to consummate the Transaction with respect to the applicable Hotel and shall retain any rights it may have under the indemnification provisions of Article 10.

(d) If the consent described in Schedule 9.2(d) is not obtained on or prior to the Closing, the provisions of Schedule 9.2(d) shall apply.

(e) If the consent required for the transfer of the Renaissance Vinoy Resort and Golf Club from the Buyer to a Designee is not obtained on or before the Closing Date, in such case:

(i) the Seller shall not assign to the Buyer the Leasehold Interest with respect to the Renaissance Vinoy Resort and Golf Club;

(ii) The Unadjusted Purchase Price shall be decreased by the amount of the Preliminary Allocated Price for the Renaissance Vinoy Resort and Golf Club; and

(iii) as soon as reasonably practicable following the receipt of such consent, the Seller and the Buyer shall proceed with a Closing with respect to the Renaissance Vinoy Resort and Golf Club, provided, however, that if no such consent is obtained, the Seller and the Buyer shall proceed with the Closing of the Target Sale in respect of the Renaissance Vinoy Resort and Golf Club no later than December 31, 2005, with the payment of additional consideration to the Seller in the amount of the Preliminary Allocated Price for such Hotel.

Section 9.3 General Conditions. The respective obligations of the Buyer and the Seller to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be subject to the fulfillment, at or prior to the Closing, of each of the following conditions, any of which may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be waived in writing by either party in its sole discretion:

(a) No Governmental Authority shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any Law (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent), that is then in effect and that enjoins, restrains, makes illegal or otherwise prohibits the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements.

(b) Any waiting period (and any extension thereof) under any antitrust laws applicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements shall have expired or shall have been terminated. All material consents of, or registrations,

Execution Copy 55

declarations or filings with, any Governmental Authority legally required for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements shall have been obtained or filed.

Section 9.4 Conditions to the Obligations of the Seller. The obligations of the Seller to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be subject to the fulfillment, at or prior to the Closing, of each of the following conditions, any of which may be waived in writing by the Seller in its sole discretion:

(a) The Buyer shall have performed in all material respects all obligations and agreements and complied in all material respects with all covenants and conditions required by this Agreement to be performed or complied with by it prior to or at the Closing and the Seller shall have received from the Buyer a certificate to such effect, signed by a duly authorized officer thereof.

(b) The Seller shall have received an executed counterpart of each of the Buyer’s Closing Deliveries, signed by each party thereto other than the Seller.

(c) The Buyer shall not have elected to exclude more than one Group A Hotel or more than one Group B Hotel pursuant to Sections 9.1(e) and 9.5(a)(iii), provided, however, if the Buyer elected to exclude a Hotel:

(i) pursuant to Section 9.1, as a result of New Title Matters caused by an action of the Seller or failure to act where the Seller was under a legal or contractual duty to so act, or

(ii) pursuant to Section 9.5(a)(iii), as a result of a breach of the Seller’s representations, warranties or covenants caused by an action of the Seller or failure to act where the Seller is under a legal or contractual duty to act, after the date hereof, that knowingly resulted in such breach,

then such Hotel shall not be counted towards the determination of whether the Buyer elected not to close on more than one Group A Hotel or more than one Group B Hotel. For the avoidance of doubt, as an example, if the Buyer elects to eliminate one Group A Hotel pursuant to Section 9.1(e) and one Group A Hotel pursuant to Section 9.5(a)(iii) (and neither election meets the standard set forth in clauses (c)(i) or (c)(ii), above), then the Seller’s conditions shall not have been met.

Section 9.5 Conditions to the Obligations of the Buyer. The obligations of the Buyer to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be subject to the fulfillment, at or prior to the Closing, of each of the following conditions, any of which may be waived in writing by the Buyer in its sole discretion:

(a) There shall not have occurred any of the following:

(i) an event or matter which constitutes a breach of a representation and warranty in Sections 5.2, 5.3(a)-(e) or 5.11(a) as to any Hotel Interest;

Execution Copy 56

(ii) the entry against the Seller of an Order which constitutes a breach of a representation and warranty in Section 5.8(b) and, as of the Closing, prevents a Hotel from operating in the Ordinary Course of Business in all material respects; or

(iii) an event or matter, other than a Casualty Loss, that constitutes a breach of any other of Seller’s representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement that (A) with respect to any Group A Hotels or the Hotel Interests related thereto, adversely impacts the value of one or more of such Hotels or the Hotel Interests related thereto by more than the Group A Threshold Amount or (B) with respect to any Group B Hotels or the Hotel Interests related thereto, adversely impacts the value of one or more of such Hotels or the Hotel Interests related thereto by more than the Group B Threshold Amount, provided, however, if the Buyer determines not to proceed with the Closing with respect to such Hotel, the Buyer’s sole remedy in event of such breach shall be that: (1) the Seller shall not assign, transfer, convey or deliver such Hotel Interest affected by such breach or the Seller’s interest in such Minority Owned Entity affected by such breach to the Buyer at the Closing, (2) the Unadjusted Purchase Price shall be reduced by the Preliminary Allocated Price for such Hotel Interest or the Seller’s interest in such Minority Owned Entity, and (3) the parties shall enter into a revised management agreement for such Hotel Interest in the form of Exhibit Q-1 for domestic Hotels and Exhibit Q-2 for international Hotels.

(b) The Seller shall have performed in all material respects all obligations and agreements and complied in all material respects with all covenants and conditions required by this Agreement to be performed or complied with by it prior to or at the Closing and the Buyer shall have received from the Seller a certificate to such effect, signed by a duly authorized officer thereof.

(c) The Buyer shall have received an executed counterpart of each of the Seller’s Closing Deliveries, signed by each party thereto other than the Buyer.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article 10, the Seller shall save, defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer (including the Targets) and the respective Representatives, successors and assigns of each of the foregoing excluding the Buyer’s Designees (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, claims, interest, awards, judgments, penalties, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in investigating, preparing or defending the foregoing) (collectively, “Losses”), incurred, sustained or suffered by any of the foregoing to the extent arising out of or resulting from:

(d) any claim for any broker’s or investment banking fees of the Seller or its Affiliates in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; and

(e) any claim or cause of action by any holder of Bonds arising from or in connection with the Offer and Solicitation.

(c) any Third Party Claim that arises from an event that occurs after the Closing against any Seller Indemnified Party with respect to the operations or ownership of the Hotels or Hotel Interests, except to the extent that such claim or cause of action would not have arisen if the representations, warranties and covenants of the Seller contained in this Agreement were true, accurate and fulfilled;

(d) any Assumed Liabilities;

(e) any direct claims brought by any Designees against the Seller in relation to the Transactions;

Section 10.4 Procedures.

(a) In order for a Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party (the “Indemnified Party”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of, arising out of or involving a Loss or a claim or demand made by any Person, other than the Seller and its Affiliates and the Buyer, against the Indemnified Party, other than a Mirror Claim (a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall deliver notice thereof to the party against whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after receipt by such Indemnified Party of written notice of the Third Party Claim, but in no event later than the Claims Deadline, describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to any claim for indemnification hereunder, the amount or method of computation of the amount of such claim (if known) and such other information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. The failure to provide as part of the initial written notice of claim, the information set forth in the preceding sentence shall not invalidate the effectiveness of the written notice, provided such information is delivered in a reasonable time period thereafter. The failure to provide such notice, however, shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article 10 except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party within 30 days of receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of the commencement of such Third Party Claim, to assume the defense thereof at the expense of the Indemnifying Party with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, or offer to compromise, settle or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent unless the Indemnifying Party withdraws from the defense of such Third Party Claim or unless a final judgment from which no appeal may be taken by or on behalf of the Indemnifying Party is entered against the Indemnified

Execution Copy 59

Party for such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any such claims or proceeding pursuant to this Section 10.4 and the Indemnified Party proposes to settle such claims or proceeding prior to a final judgment thereon or to forgo any appeal with respect thereto, then the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in the settlement or assume or reassume the defense of such claims or proceeding. The Indemnifying Party and its counsel shall keep the Indemnified Party fully advised as to its conduct of such defense or settlement, and shall not compromise or settle such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless such settlement or compromise does not subject the Indemnified Party to any monetary liability, includes a complete, unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect to such Third Party Claim, and does not constitute an acknowledgement or acceptance by the Indemnified Party of fault, culpability or responsibility of any kind. Notwithstanding the Indemnifying Party’s election to defend against or settle the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, upon written notice to the Indemnifying Party, elect to employ its own counsel and participate at its own cost in such defense if (i) the Third Party Claim is made also against the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate and (ii) the Indemnified Party determines in good faith that the Indemnified Party may have available to it one or more defenses or counterclaims that are inconsistent with, different from, or in addition to one or more of those that may be available to the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the participation in the defense or settlement of a Third Party Claim by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this sentence shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligation to indemnify and hold the Indemnified Party harmless.

(c) In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim against any Indemnifying Party hereunder that does not involve a Third Party Claim (including any Mirror Claim) being asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall deliver notice of such claim to the Indemnifying Party no later than the Claims Deadline, describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to any claim for indemnification hereunder, the amount or method of computation of the amount of such claim (if known) and such other information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. The failure to provide as part of the initial written notice of claim the information set forth in the preceding sentence shall not invalidate the effectiveness of the written notice provided the information is provided in a reasonable time period thereafter. The failure to provide such notice, however, shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article 10 except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days after receipt of notice of any claim pursuant to this Section 10.4(c) to (i) agree to the amount or method of determination set forth in such claim and to pay such amount to such Indemnified Party or (ii) provide the Indemnified Party with notice (a “Dispute Notice”) that it disagrees with the amount or method of determination set forth in such claim. If the Indemnifying Party has timely delivered a Dispute Notice, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall, during a period 30 days from the Indemnified Party’s receipt of such Dispute Notice, negotiate to achieve resolution of such dispute and, if not resolved through negotiations, such dispute shall be resolved as provided in Section 12.9.

Section 10.5 Limits on Indemnification.

(a) No claim may be asserted against any party for breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, unless written notice of such claim is received by such party, describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim on or prior to May 30, 2007 (the “Claim Deadline”), in which case such representation, warranty or covenant shall survive as to such claim until such claim has been finally resolved. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no Claims Deadline applicable to a claim raised with respect to a breach of Sections 5.2, 5.3(a)-(e), 7.4 and 7.11 hereof. In addition, no claim may be asserted against Seller for breach of any of Seller’s representations or warranties to the extent that the Title Materials contain information that is inconsistent with such representations or warranties.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, with respect to each Fee Property, Target, Leasehold Interest or Minority Owned Entity: (i) the Seller shall not be liable for any claim for indemnification of $5,000 or less pursuant to Sections 10.2(a), 10.2(b), or 10.2(c) resulting from any single claim or aggregated claims arising out of the same facts, events or circumstances (the “De Minimis Amount”) (ii) the Seller shall not be liable unless and until the aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from the Seller on account of all such claims equals or exceeds $50,000 (the “Threshold Amount”), at which time the Seller shall be liable for all such Losses, (iii) the maximum aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered by the Buyer Indemnified Parties arising out of or relating to the causes set forth in Sections 10.2(a), 10.2(b) or 10.2(c) in relation to any single Fee Property, Target, Leasehold Interest or Minority Owned Entity shall equal 50% of the Preliminary Allocated Price in respect of such Fee Property, Target, Leasehold Interest or Minority Owned Entity, as the case may be (the “Indemnification Limit”), provided, however, that the maximum aggregate amount of identifiable Losses which may be recovered by the Buyer Indemnified Parties with respect to the Leasehold Interest in Renaissance Atlanta Hotel Downtown is $4,000,000 and with respect to Renaissance PineIsle Resort and Golf Club is $3,000,000, and (iv) no party hereto shall have any liability under any provision of this Agreement for any punitive, consequential, incidental, special or indirect damages relating the breach or alleged breach of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) the Indemnification Limit applicable to Losses related to a breach of a representation, warranty or covenant under Sections 5.2 and 5.3(a)-(e) shall be the Preliminary Allocated Price of each Target and (B) the De Minimis Amount and the Threshold Amount shall not be applicable to Losses related to a breach of a representation, warranty or covenant under Sections 5.13(b)(iv).

(c) For all purposes of this Article 10, “Losses” shall be net of (i) any insurance (other than any self-insured retention program) or other recoveries paid (subject to Section 10.7) by a third-party to the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates in connection with the facts, events or circumstances giving rise to the right of indemnification and (ii) any net Tax benefit available to such Indemnified Party or its Affiliates arising in connection with the accrual, incurrence or payment of any such Losses (including the net present value of any Tax benefit arising in subsequent taxable years).

Execution Copy 61

(d) The Buyer and the Seller shall cooperate with each other with respect to resolving any Third Party claim with respect to which one party is obligated to indemnify the other party hereunder, including by making Commercially Reasonably Efforts to mitigate such claim. In the event that the Buyer or the Seller shall fail to make such commercially reasonably efforts to mitigate or resolve any claim or liability, then notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained herein, the other party shall not be required to indemnify any person for any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense that could reasonably be expected to have been avoided if the Buyer or the Seller, as the case may be, had made such efforts.

(e) For purposes of this Article 10, “Losses” shall be determined in all cases without regard to any qualification or limitation with respect to “materiality” whether by reference to “in any material respect” or any other use of “material”.

Section 10.6 Tax Matters. Anything in this Article 10 to the contrary notwithstanding, the rights and obligations of the parties with respect to indemnification for any and all Tax matters shall be governed by Article 8.

Section 10.7 Assignment of Claims. If any Buyer Indemnified Party receives any payment from the Seller in respect of any Losses pursuant to Section 10.2 and the Buyer Indemnified Party could have recovered all or a part of such Losses from a third party (a “Potential Contributor”) based on the underlying claim asserted against the Seller, the Buyer Indemnified Party shall assign, on a non-recourse basis and without any representation or warranty, such of its rights to proceed against the Potential Contributor as are necessary to permit the Seller to recover from the Potential Contributor the amount of such payment. Any payment received in respect of such claim shall be distributed, (i) first to the Buyer Indemnified Party in the amount of any deductible or similar amount required to be paid by the Buyer Indemnified Party prior to the Seller being required to make any payment to the Buyer Indemnified Party, (ii) second to the Seller in an amount equal to the aggregate payments made by the Seller to the Buyer Indemnified Party in respect of such claim, plus costs and expenses incurred in investigating, defending or otherwise incurred in connection with addressing such claim and (iii) the balance, if any, to the Buyer Indemnified Party.

Section 10.8 Disclaimer of Implied Warranties; Nature of Conveyances.

(a) It is the explicit intent and understanding of each party hereto that neither party hereto nor its Representatives is making any representation or warranty whatsoever, oral or written, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of any information regarding the Property, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, and neither party hereto is relying on any statement, representation or warranty, oral or written, express or implied, made by the other party hereto or such other party’s Representatives, except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Agreement and the conveyance documents contemplated hereunder.

(b) Each party hereto hereby agrees and acknowledges that with the exception of the various deeds which will be placed of record in the applicable real property records, each of the conveyance documents contemplated hereunder to consummate the Transaction shall explicitly reflect the fact that the Buyer is purchasing the applicable Owned Real Property or Leased Real Property on an “as is” condition “with all faults” and without any warranties,

Execution Copy 62

representations or guaranties of any kind, oral or written, express or implied, concerning the Property from or on behalf of the Seller, except as may be expressly set forth in the representations and warranties in this Agreement or as contemplated under Section 9.1(g). The Buyer acknowledges that, except as may be expressly set forth in this Agreement and the conveyance documents contemplated hereunder, the Seller has not, does not and will not make any representations, warranties or guaranties, of any kind, oral or written, express or implied, concerning the Property including, without limitation (i) the quality, adequacy, state of repair or physical condition of the Property, (ii) the habitability, merchantability or fitness, suitability or adequacy of the Property or any portion thereof for any particular use or purpose, (iii) the zoning or other legal status of the Property, (iv) the compliance by the Property, or any portion thereof, with any applicable codes, laws, regulations, statutes, ordinances, covenants, conditions or restrictions of any governmental or quasi-governmental entity or of any Person, or (v) the environmental condition of the Property, including its compliance with environmental laws and the presence or non-presence of hazardous substances. At the Closing, Buyer shall execute and deliver a certificate to and for the benefit of Seller reflecting its acknowledgement of the foregoing provisions.

(D) if successful in any claim pursuant to clause (C), above, the Buyer’s damages shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount of the Termination Fee, and the Buyer shall not be entitled to any other damages claims or expenses of any nature whatsoever arising from or in connection with this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements.

(i) to bring against the Seller a claim for indemnification and institute litigation to enforce such claim, to the same extent as made by the Designee against the Buyer (to the full extent permitted in, and subject to the limitations of, this Agreement) (a “Mirror Claim”); and

(ii) to seek as damages in the Mirror Claim, all Losses of the Designee arising from the Mirror Claim (to the full extent permitted in, and subject to the limitations of, this Agreement).

Subject to the limitations of Article 5 and Article 10, Seller acknowledges and agrees that any Mirror Claims are subject to indemnification by the Seller to the Buyer and the Seller waives any defense based upon any claim that the Buyer has not suffered Losses or does not have the requisite standing to institute against the Seller any claim underlying the Mirror Claim.

(B) The CTF Agreement grants to Marriott the right to designate persons or entities to whom CTF has then agreed it will convey the Hotels as described in the CTF Agreement. The parties hereto intend that Marriott shall designate the Purchaser as a Designee under the CTF Agreement and Marriott shall cause CTF to sell to the Purchaser as a Designee of Marriott, and the Purchaser shall acquire directly from CTF, all of the interests as described in Recital (C) below.

In consideration for the Transaction, the Purchaser shall pay into escrow at the Closing an aggregate purchase price of U.S. $590,400,000 (the “Unadjusted Purchase Price”), which includes those amounts to be paid to Marriott in its capacity as an owner of an equity interest in Renaissance Vinoy Resort and Golf Club (“Renaissance Vinoy”) as shall be adjusted as provided in this Article 3, Section 7.3 and Section 9.2 (the “Adjusted Purchase Price”).

Section 3.2. Deposit. Upon execution of this Agreement, Purchaser shall deposit into escrow $25,000,000 (the “Deposit”) with the Title Company. The Deposit will be non-refundable, other than (a) for termination based on a failure of a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to consummate the Transaction, or (b) as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement. If the Transaction is consummated, the Deposit, and interest earned thereon, will be applied against the Purchase Price.

Section 3.3. Estimated Working Capital, Capital Expenditure and PIP Expenditure Adjustments.

(a) Section 3.2 of the CTF Agreement contemplates that, and provides a procedure for, CTF and Marriott to determine certain items defined and described therein as the Estimated Total Working Capital, the Estimated North American Capex and the Estimated PIP Expenditures. Marriott and Purchaser shall recalculate the Estimated Total Working Capital (including Seller Working Capital only to the extent the same is both (x) properly allocated to Hotel Working Capital utilizing the definition of Working Capital set forth in this Agreement and, (y) an item that, in Marriott’s Ordinary Course of Business, would be accounted for on the Hotel’s books and records) utilizing the definition of Working Capital set forth in this Agreement, for all purposes and calculations contemplated in this Section 3.3(a). At Closing, the Unadjusted Purchase Price shall be: (i) increased (or decreased) by the amount by which the Estimated Total Working Capital applicable to the Hotels is more (or less) than $0; (ii) increased (or decreased) by the amount by which the Estimated North American Capex applicable to the Hotels is more (or less) than the Target North American Capex Amount as set forth on Schedule 3.3(a); and (iii) increased by the amount of the Estimated PIP Expenditures.

(b) At Closing Purchaser shall provide to Marriott for each Hotel an amount equal to the Adjusted Working Capital for such Hotel. Adjusted Working Capital shall mean, for each Hotel, the amounts, if any, by which (i) the Adjusted Estimated

- 16 -

Total Working Capital for such Hotel, is less than (ii) the Initial Required Working Capital for such Hotel. If the Adjusted Estimated Total Working Capital for any Hotel is less than $0, Purchaser shall fund the amount of such Adjusted Estimated Total Working Capital deficit at Closing and shall also fund the applicable Initial Required Working Capital for such Hotel. If the Adjusted Estimated Total Working Capital for any Hotel is less than $0 and the Initial Required Working Capital for such Hotel is less than $0, and if the Adjusted Estimated Total Working Capital is more negative than the Initial Required Working Capital, Purchaser shall fund the amount equal to the difference between the negative Adjusted Estimated Total Working Capital and the Negative Initial Required Working Capital at Closing. Adjusted Estimated Total Working Capital shall mean, for each Hotel, the amount equal to (i) the Estimated Total Working Capital for such Hotel, minus (ii) the value of the Miscellaneous Operating Supplies included in the calculation of the Estimated Total Working Capital for such Hotel. Initial Required Working Capital shall mean, with respect to each Hotel, the amount set forth on Schedule 3.3(b) for such Hotel. Marriott and Purchaser shall recalculate the Estimated Total Working Capital, utilizing the definition of Working Capital set forth in this Agreement for all purposes and calculations contemplated in this Section 3.3(b).

(c) The receivable from the City of Palm Springs, California to the Esmeralda Hotel in connection with the relocation of the 17^th hole on the Esmeralda Hotel golf course shall be reclassified from Seller’s Working Capital to Hotel Working Capital as defined in the CTF Agreement and such item shall be treated as part of Working Capital under this Agreement. The right to such receivable shall be assigned to Purchaser.

Section 3.4. Post-Closing Adjustments.

(a) Section 3.3 of the CTF Agreement contemplates that, and provides a procedure for, CTF and Marriott to arrive at certain post-closing adjustments to the Unadjusted Purchase Price as at the Effective Date. Marriott, with the assistance of Purchaser, shall prepare and submit the Closing Statements defined and described in Section 3.3 of the CTF Agreement including information and documentation provided by Purchaser within sufficient time in order for Marriott to comply with the time requirements set forth in Section 3.3 of the CTF Agreement. Upon receipt of the final report from the Accounting Firm as described in Section 3.3(c) of the CTF Agreement, either Marriott shall cause CTF to transfer to Purchaser, or Purchaser shall transfer to CTF, as the case may be, by wire transfer as described in Section 3.3(c) of the CTF Agreement, the difference between the adjustments made to the Unadjusted Purchaser Price (pursuant to Section 3.3(a) above) and the amounts set forth in the Closing Statements (as may be adjusted by the Accounting Firm), along with the interest as set forth in Section 3.3(c) of the CTF Agreement. If such adjustments would require Purchaser to pay an amount in excess of $1,000,000 to CTF, and if Purchaser believes in good faith that at least $500,000 of such amount would be payable to Purchaser by Marriott pursuant to the provisions of subsection (b) below, and provides Marriott with reasonably detailed support of such assertion, then Marriott shall pay, on behalf of Purchaser, fifty percent (50%) of such disputed amount, subject to reconciliation and further adjustment pursuant to the provision of subsection (b) below.

- 17 -

(b) If Purchaser or Marriott believes that the post-closing adjustments to the Unadjusted Purchase Price made pursuant to subsection (a) above are not consistent with the definition of Working Capital used under this Agreement, such party shall provide notice to the other party of such assertion within thirty (30) days of receipt of the final report described in subsection (a) above (an “Objection Notice”). If either or both parties provide such notice, Marriott and Purchaser shall attempt to recalculate the Unadjusted Purchase Price utilizing the definition of Working Capital set forth in this Agreement. If Marriott and Purchaser are unable to agree upon such recalculation within thirty (30) days of receipt of an Objection Notice, the parties shall provide the Accounting Firm with a copy of this Agreement and instruct the Accounting Firm to make a recalculation of the post-closing adjustments to the Unadjusted Purchase Price based on the definition of Working Capital used in this Agreement and not as that term is defined and used in the CTF Agreement, and to provide the difference, if any, between what Purchaser paid (or received) pursuant to the procedures described in subsection (a) above, and what the Purchaser would have paid (or received) had the definition of Working Capital used in this Agreement been used to calculate the adjustments to the Unadjusted Purchase Price. The costs of the recalculation by the Accounting Firm shall be borne equally by Marriott and Purchaser. If the report of the Accounting Firm determines that Purchaser made an overpayment or received less than should have been received had the definition of Working Capital in this Agreement been used, Marriott shall pay Purchaser the amount of such overpayment or the deficit in the received amount (net of any amounts previously paid by Marriott pursuant to the terms of the last sentence of subsection (a)), or if the Accounting Firm determines that Purchaser made an underpayment or received more than should have been received had the definition of Working Capital in this Agreement been used, Purchaser shall pay Marriott the amount of such underpayment or the excess of such overpayment (plus any amounts previously paid by Marriott pursuant to the terms of the last sentences of subsection (a)).

(c) The final reports contemplated by this Section 3.4, being that described in (a) above if the procedures described in (b) are not used, or that described in subsection (b) if the procedures described in (b) are used) shall be final and binding on the parties for all purposes of this Agreement. Solely for purposes of calculations under the Hotel Management Agreements, it is agreed that accruals or estimates taken into account in connection with the post-closing adjustments to the Unadjusted Purchase Price shall not be taken into account for any purposes under the Hotel Management Agreements (for example, actual bonuses paid in 2006 relating to 2005 performance may be higher or lower than the bonus estimates used to calculate the accrual amounts of such bonuses for purposes of this Agreement). However, payment of amounts relating to pre-closing matters by the manager of the Hotels shall not effect Purchaser’s rights hereunder to seek recourse for liabilities and obligations not assumed.

Section 3.5. Currency of Payments. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, all payments to or from CTF or any party shall be made in United States dollars. All translations from a foreign currency into United States dollars shall be calculated at the average of the United States dollar closing buy and sell bids for the subject foreign currency on the Effective Date (as quoted by Bloomberg Service for Benchmark Currency Rates or on any successor or substitute page of such service reasonably satisfactory to CTF and the parties at approximately 10:00 a.m., New York City time on any date of determination), regardless of the date actually made.

- 18 -

Section 3.6. Certain Transaction Costs.

(a) Marriott shall cause CTF to be allocated one-half of the Transfer Taxes which would be payable if the Hotels were transferred pursuant to the Target Sale at the Preliminary Allocated Price. Schedule 3.6 sets forth the initial estimate of the Transfer Taxes made by CTF and the parties hereto to be incurred in connection with the Fee Sale, Target Sale and Lease Assignment & Sale as well as the estimated amount thereof to be allocated to CTF and Purchaser. Schedule 3.6 shall be adjusted by CTF and Marriott at the direction of Purchaser from time-to-time until the Closing to reflect calculations made by the Title Company based upon the actual amount of Transfer Taxes due and payable in the applicable jurisdictions as of the Closing Date.

(b) Regardless of Law or convention, it shall be the responsibility of Purchaser to pay or cause to be paid all Transfer Taxes and otherwise complete and file all Tax Returns in connection therewith in a timely manner. Marriott shall, and shall cause CTF to, cooperate with Purchaser as reasonably requested by Purchaser in connection with the preparation and filing of such Tax Returns. The Unadjusted Purchase Price shall be reduced at Closing by the total amount of Transfer Taxes allocated to CTF that are actually paid or payable by Purchaser, and the Preliminary Allocated Price related to each Hotel Interest affected thereby shall be reduced accordingly.

Section 3.7. Structural and Environmental Consultants. Marriott has retained third party consultants (the “Structural and Environmental Consultants”) to perform structural and environmental analyses of the Hotels and Marriott has provided Purchaser with copies of all of the reports and work product prepared by the Structural and Environmental Consultants with regard to the Hotels. Marriott shall cause the Structural and Environmental Consultants to provide letters authorizing the Purchaser and its lenders to rely upon the reports, work product, representations and warranties provided by the Structural Environmental Consultants. At Closing, in addition to payment of the Purchase Price, Purchaser shall reimburse Marriott for the cost of all of the work performed by the Structural and Environmental Consultants with respect to the Hotels.

Section 3.8. Purchase Price Allocation.

(a) The parties have agreed upon the amount of the Preliminary Allocated Price for CTF’s interest in each of the Hotels, which amounts are set forth on Schedules 2.1(a) and 2.1(b) and which shall include those amounts to be paid to Marriott in its capacity as an owner of an interest in the Renaissance Vinoy and Club Vinoy LC as described on Schedule 2.1(b). By written notice to Marriott given not less than fourteen (14) Business Days prior to the Closing, Purchaser may modify the Preliminary Allocated Price for any such interest other than the Preliminary Allocated Price for Marriott’s interest in the Renaissance Vinoy within the range permitted in Schedules 2.1(a) and 2.1(b), as applicable (each such Preliminary Allocated Price as modified is the “Closing

- 19 -

Allocated Price”), provided, however, that the total amount of all Closing Allocated Prices shall at all times equal the Unadjusted Purchase Price, as it may be adjusted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Closing Allocated Price of each property shall be delivered to Marriott by the Purchaser two (2) Business Days prior to Closing, and to the extent such allocations result in a change in the total amount of Transfer Taxes allocated to CTF as set forth on Schedule 3.9 of the CTF Agreement, such difference shall be borne by the Purchaser. In the event of any purchase price adjustment hereunder, Marriott and Purchaser agree to adjust any previously agreed purchase price allocation to reflect such purchase price adjustment and to file subsequent Tax Returns consistent with such agreed allocation.

(b) The Purchaser and Marriott agree that the Closing Allocated Price for each Hotel Interest shall be adjusted to reflect the Adjusted Purchase Price as determined at the Closing. For each Hotel Interest, the purchase of which is treated as an asset purchase for United States federal income tax purposes, the Adjusted Purchase Price, as so adjusted, plus any liabilities attributable to such Hotel Interest that are liabilities for United States tax purposes, shall be allocated for federal income tax purposes among the assets acquired thereby as agreed to by the parties and, if no agreement is reached, as reasonably determined by each of the parties. Subject to the requirements of applicable Law, the Purchaser and Marriott and each of their Affiliates, shall file all Returns, consistent with the Closing Allocated Price adjusted to take into account purchase price adjustments at the Closing and with any other allocation that is agreed in respect of a particular Hotel Interest. In the event of any purchase price adjustment hereunder, Marriott and the Purchaser agree to adjust any previously agreed allocation to reflect such purchase price adjustment and to file Tax Returns consistent with such agreed allocation.

Section 3.9. Closing.

(a) The closing of the Transactions shall take place at a closing (the “Closing”) to be held at the offices of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP, 200 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10166, at 10:00 A.M., or at such other place or places as CTF, Marriott and Purchaser may agree in writing.

(b) The Closing shall occur on June 17, 2005, provided, however, that if the conditions to Closing of Marriott or Purchaser have not been satisfied as of that date, or upon notice given by Purchaser not later than June 8, 2005, or by Marriott no later than June 11, 2005, then the Closing shall occur not later than June 30, 2005, provided further, however, if all the conditions of both parties to the Closing have been satisfied, except that CTF shall not have received the requisite consent pursuant to the Offer and Solicitation to allow for the release of the liens on the Property securing the Notes, as more fully set forth in Article 4 of the CTF Agreement and as those terms are described and defined in the CTF Agreement, and Marriott exercises its one-time option to postpone the Closing to November 15, 2005 under Section 3.11 of the CTF Agreement, then the Closing hereunder shall also be postponed until November 15, 2005; provided further still, however, if the Closing with respect to any Hotel is delayed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Closing for such Hotel shall occur as soon as practicable following the satisfaction of the conditions to Closing with respect to such Hotel. The day on which a Closing takes place is referred to as the “Closing Date.”

- 20 -

(c) If the Closing does not occur by June 30, 2005, because CTF did not receive the requisite consent as described in Section 3.9(b), and after Purchaser provides written notice to Marriott no later than July 6, 2005 of Purchaser’s intention to postpone Closing to November 15, 2005, Marriott elects not to exercise its one-time option to postpone the Closing to November 15, 2005 pursuant to Section 3.11 of the CTF Agreement and Marriott elects instead to terminate the CTF Agreement, then Marriott will refund the Deposit and all interest thereon to Purchaser. In such event if Purchaser is ready, willing and able to close on June 30, 2005, Marriott shall pay to Purchaser, Purchaser’s Out of Pocket Costs not to exceed Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000). Failure on the part of Purchaser to notify Marriott on or before July 6, 2005 of its intention to postpone Closing, shall be deemed Purchaser’s election not to postpone Closing and to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Article 12 hereof. Purchaser being ready, willing and able to close for the purposes of this Section 3.9 shall mean that Purchaser shall have (i) satisfied the condition to Marriott’s obligation to close set forth in Section 9.4(a), (ii) tendered all of Purchaser’s Closing Deliveries, and (iii) shall have funding commitments for the payment of the entire Purchase Price such that Purchaser would have been in a position to pay the entire Purchase Price had the Closing occurred on June 30, 2005 and all conditions under this Agreement to Purchaser’s obligations had been satisfied. As used herein, “Purchaser’s Out of Pocket Costs” means all Purchaser’s third party out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, all travel costs and expenses, all amounts expended by Purchaser for its investigation of the Hotels, including consulting fees and costs and legal fees and costs, all amounts expended by Purchaser, including, but not limited to, legal fees and costs, in the negotiation of this Agreement the CTF Agreement the management agreement with Marriott, and the other documents and instruments in connection with this transaction, and all fees and costs (including costs incurred to lock or cap rates of interest) paid by Purchaser to its lenders and potential lenders, including all amounts expended as liquidated damages to the lenders.

(d) If a Closing occurs after June 17, 2005 with respect to Hotels included in such Closing:

(i) all of the Transactions shall be deemed to be effective as of Marriott’s most recently ended Accounting Period prior to the Closing Date (for such Closing, the “Effective Date”);

(ii) Purchaser shall pay daily interest on the sum of the Preliminary Allocated Price of the Hotels from and including the Effective Date but not including the Closing Date, at a rate equal to the Closing Interest Rate; and

(iii) with respect to the Hotels Marriott shall cause CTF to pay to Purchaser (to the extent the amount in (i) below exceeds (ii) below), or the Purchaser shall pay to CTF (to the extent the amount in (ii) below exceeds (i) below), as the case may be, account and pay for the difference between (A) all deposits to CTF’s bank

- 21 -

accounts arising from Hotel operations from the close of business on the Effective Date through the Closing Date, and (B) all checks issued, wire transfers and other disbursements from CTF’s bank accounts arising from Hotel operations from the close of business on the Effective Date through the Closing Date, which would have been disbursed by Marriott under the Marriott/CTF Hotel Management Agreements if the Closing had occurred on the Effective Date (the “Cash True-Up”).

(e) On or before a Closing, (i) the Purchaser shall deliver to the Title Company by wire transfer to a bank escrow account specified by the Title Company the amount of the Adjusted Purchase Price for the Hotels included in the Closing less the amount of Deposit and all interest accrued thereon in immediately available funds in United States dollars (such amount to be shown on a settlement memorandum detailing required adjustments to the Unadjusted Purchase Price) and such other sums required to be paid by Purchaser hereunder, including Transfer Taxes and other costs of Closing, (ii) Marriott shall deliver to the Title Company Marriott’s Closing Deliveries provided, however, to the extent that any of the Marriott Closing Deliveries include what are described as the Seller Closing Deliveries pursuant to the CTF Agreement, Marriott shall not be in default hereunder for any default by CTF in failing to provide the Seller Closing Deliveries as defined in the CTF Agreement (provided, however, any failure on the part of Marriott to deliver such Seller Closing Deliveries remains a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to close as set forth in Section 9.5(b)) and all other documents required by the Purchaser of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement to be delivered by Marriott and such other parties as are necessary and appropriate, each such Deliveries and/or document to be executed by Marriott and such other parties as are necessary and appropriate and to be held in escrow by the Title Company, and (iii) the Purchaser shall deliver to the Title Company the Purchaser’s Closing Deliveries and all other documents required by the Purchaser of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement to be delivered by the Purchaser, each such Deliveries and/or document to be executed by the Designees and to be held in escrow by the Title Company following completion of the matters specified in (e)(i)-(iii) above, and upon the joint written direction of Marriott and Purchaser, the Adjusted Purchase Price and/or documents so held in escrow shall be released from escrow and disbursed and/or distributed to those Persons entitled thereto, including to those Persons required pursuant to all Ancillary Agreements. In addition, Marriott and Purchaser shall cooperate to develop procedures for the flow of funds at each Closing.

Section 5.6. Balance Sheets.

(a) Attached as Schedule 5.6 of the CTF Agreement is the consolidating unaudited balance sheet of each Target and its Subsidiaries as at December 31, 2004 (the “Balance Sheet”). With respect to such Target, the Balance Sheet constitutes a compilation prepared by the CTF Selling Entities of (i) the assets and liabilities of each Hotel owned or leased by such Target (excluding the CTF Level Data) (the “Hotel Level Data”); and (ii) the other assets and liabilities, if any, of the Target which either (A) are unrelated to the Hotel or (B) have historically not been accounted for as Hotel Level Data and (C) adjustments made by CTF to the Hotel Level Data (the “CTF

- 25 -

Level Data”). The Hotel Level Data is maintained by and has been extracted from the financial information supplied by Marriott under the Marriott/CTF Hotel Management Agreements. The CTF Level Data has been compiled from the books and records of each Target maintained by the CTF Selling Entities. The Balance Sheet fairly presents the financial condition of the Target (and its consolidated Subsidiaries as appropriate) as at December 31, 2004 in all material respects in accordance with GAAP, except for any deferred income tax asset or liability and any explanatory footnotes required under GAAP and except to the extent that any Hotel Level Data is not complete and accurate.

(b) There are no liabilities or obligations of any nature (whether known or unknown, absolute, contingent, or otherwise) of any Target (excluding (i) any deferred tax liabilities resulting from an accounting convention to reflect timing differences between book and tax accounting, (ii) liabilities in respect of Sales, Use & Occupancy Tax Audit Liabilities, and (iii) liabilities in respect of employee claims arising out of any Employment Practices Liabilities (clauses (i)-(iii), collectively being the “Excluded Liabilities”)), except for liabilities or obligations reflected on or reserved against in the Balance Sheet with respect to such Target and except to the extent that the Hotel Level Data is not complete and accurate. Since the date of the Balance Sheet through the Closing Date, CTF has not caused and will not permit any Target to suffer or incur any liability except for liabilities (A) pursuant to Contracts which are not Material Contracts; (B) pursuant to executory Material Contracts disclosed on Schedule 5.10 of the CTF Agreement; (C) for capital expenditures provided under Section 2.6 of the CTF Agreement; (D) pursuant to any Lease; (E) that are Intercompany Debt; (F) that are included within Working Capital for such Target; or (G) that constitute Excluded Liabilities.

(c) Except as set forth on Schedule 7.12 of the CTF Agreement, no Target is the guarantor of the obligations of a third party. No Target has contractually indemnified any third party, except in respect of liabilities directly related to the operations of a Target’s Hotel.

(d) Except as set forth on Schedule 2.4 of the CTF Agreement, as of the date of this Agreement, no Target has any Debt.

(e) The CTF Level Data accounting records are maintained by and are in the possession of the CTF Selling Entities.

Section 5.7. Absence of Certain Changes. Except as set forth on Schedules 2.1(a) and 2.1(c) of the CTF Agreement, since December 31, 2004, no Target has:

(a) sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of any of its Property except in the Ordinary Course of Business;

(b) forgiven or canceled debts or waived any claims or rights of substantial value other than Intercompany Debt; or

(c) incurred any debt or extended any credit other than in the Ordinary Course of Business, except for Intercompany Debt; or

- 26 -

(d) made any change in any method of accounting or accounting practice or policy.

Section 5.8. Litigation and Related Matters.

(a) Except as set forth in Schedule 5.8 of the CTF Agreement, there is no pending Legal Proceeding that has been commenced by or against any Interest Holder or related to the Property other than routine litigation related to the operations of a Hotel which is covered by insurance, and, to CTF’s Knowledge, no Legal Proceeding has been threatened and no event has occurred or circumstance exists that may give rise to or serve as a basis for the commencement of any such Legal Proceeding. CTF has made available to Marriott copies of all pleadings, correspondence, and other documents relating to each Legal Proceeding set forth in Schedule 5.8 of the CTF Agreement.

(b) Except as set forth in Schedule 5.8 of the CTF Agreement, and with the further exception that, with respect to the operations of any Hotel, the following representations are made to CTF’s Knowledge only:

(i) there is no Order to which any Interest Holder, any of the assets owned or used by any Target, is subject;

(ii) no Interest Holder is subject to any Order that relates to the business or Property of any Interest Holder; and

(iii) no officer, director, manager, managing member, trustee, partner, agent, or employee of any Target who is not under the control of Marriott is subject to any Order that prohibits such Person from engaging in or continuing any conduct, activity, or practice relating to the business of any Target.

In the event of a Casualty Loss, the following shall apply:

In any case where the Casualty Loss is insured, at Closing the Preliminary Allocated Price shall be reduced by any deductible applicable to the insurance coverage; or

(b) If the Casualty Loss relates to a Hotel listed on Schedule 7.3(b) of the CTF Agreement (the “Group B Hotels”) and the casualty results in a loss of less than the lesser of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) or ten percent (10%) of the Preliminary Allocated Price applicable to the affected Hotel as estimated by CTF and the Purchaser, Purchaser will proceed to Closing with respect to such Hotel and at Closing Marriott shall assign, or cause CTF to assign, all insurance proceeds to Purchaser except to the extent such insurance is related to business interruption or extraordinary expenses incurred prior to Closing. If insurance proceeds in respect of such Casualty Loss that are available for the costs of repair and restoration of the Fee Property or the Leasehold Property, as applicable, are estimated to be insufficient to cover such costs, or if the Casualty Loss is uninsured, the parties will reduce the Preliminary Allocated Price by the amount of the estimated shortfall in insurance proceeds available for such costs. In any case where the Casualty Loss is insured, at Closing the Preliminary Allocated Price shall be reduced by any deductible applicable to the insurance coverage; or

(c) If the Casualty Loss exceeds the amount set forth in Section 7.3(a) or (b), as applicable, Purchaser, at its option, may either:

(i) proceed to Closing with respect to such Hotel and at Closing Marriott shall assign, or cause CTF to assign, all insurance proceeds to Purchaser, except to the extent such insurance is related to business interruption or extraordinary expenses incurred prior to the Closing. If insurance proceeds in respect of such Casualty Loss that are available for the costs of repair and restoration of the Fee Property or the Leasehold Property, as applicable are estimated by the Purchaser to be insufficient to cover such loss, or if the Casualty Loss is uninsured, the parties will reduce the Preliminary Allocated Price by the amount of the estimated shortfall in insurance proceeds available for such costs. In any case where the Casualty Loss is insured, at Closing the Preliminary Allocated Price shall be reduced by any deductible applicable to the insurance coverage; or

(d) In the event of a Casualty Loss, Marriott shall cause CTF to cooperate with Purchaser, to promptly and diligently file and pursue recovery of, all appropriate insurance claims and to the extent of any insurance proceeds recovered, with Purchaser’s consent, apply such proceeds to the restoration of the Property.

- 44 -

reduced by the amount of the proceeds taken by such lender. Insurance proceeds for business interruption losses shall be applied to such losses and shall not be counted against property casualty losses.

(e) All risk of loss or damage to the Owned Real Property and the Leased Real Property, including without limitation, loss or damage resulting from casualty, condemnation, eminent domain and any business interruption resulting therefrom shall be borne by Purchaser upon the Closing of the Transaction.

(f) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any insurance proceeds received or receivable prior to or at the time of the Closing with respect to a Casualty Loss (except to the extent that such insurance proceeds are related to business interruption or extraordinary expenses incurred prior to the Closing) shall not be included in the determination of Hotel Working Capital or Seller Working Capital for any purpose under this Agreement.

Marriott agrees (i) to retain all books and records with respect to Taxes pertinent to the Hotels relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until ninety (90) days following the expiration of the period of limitations applicable to the related Tax, (ii) to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Tax authority, other than those books and records relating to the Hotels which the Purchaser shall provide to Marriott on or before the Closing Date; and (iii) to give the Purchaser reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the Purchaser so requests, Marriott shall allow the Purchaser to take possession of such books and records. Marriott and the Purchaser further agree, upon request, to use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any governmental authority as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).

- 52 -

Section 8.7. Price Adjustment. All amounts paid pursuant to this Agreement by one party to another party (other than interest payments and payments treated as management fees) shall be treated by such parties as an adjustment to the Unadjusted Purchase Price, to the extent appropriate and permitted by law.

Section 8.8. After-Tax Basis. All payments due in respect of Non-United States Taxes under this Article 8 shall be fully adjusted to reflect (i) any net increase in Taxes that the recipient of such payments will experience as a result of receiving such payments, (ii) any net increase in Taxes such recipient will experience as a result of receiving any gross-up payments under this Section 8.8 and (iii) any net Tax benefits that the recipient will incur as a result of the payment of the indemnified tax.

Section 8.9. Elections. Marriott and its Affiliates shall cause CTF to cooperate fully with the Purchaser, to the extent necessary and to the extent reasonably requested by the Purchaser, in connection with the filing of any elections relating to Taxes which become available to the Purchaser or its Affiliates as a result of the transactions described in this Agreement; provided, however, that CTF, Marriott and its Affiliates shall not be obligated to consent to an election if such election would increase the amount of Taxes it is required to pay unless the parties otherwise agree.

Section 8.10. Survival. All obligations under this Article 8 shall survive the Closing hereunder and continue until ninety (90) days following the expiration of the period of limitations applicable to the related Tax. If a Tax claim that is raised by one party during the survival period is disputed by the other party, such claim shall survive until the dispute between the parties is resolved. Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, Marriott’s liability under this Article 8 as to Renaissance Vinoy shall be limited to Marriott’s percentage equity interest as an owner thereof.

ARTICLE 9. TITLE COMMITMENT AND SURVEY REVIEW PROCESS; CONDITIONS TO CLOSING.

Section 9.1. Title Commitment and Survey Review Process.

(a) Title Review Process. Purchaser and Marriott have each initiated the title review process consisting of, with respect to the Leased Real Property and the Owned Real Property (the “Real Properties”), (A) ordering from the Title Company a Uniform Commercial Code financing statement search including a search on any Target and any CTF Selling Entity and a commitment for owner’s title insurance, on such policy form as is available in the applicable jurisdiction as selected by Purchaser, and (B) ordering from Bock & Clark Corporation National Surveyors Network (“Surveyor”) an ALTA survey with such instructions regarding information to be shown and the scope of certification as Purchaser shall determine. The Uniform Commercial Code financing statement search results and the title commitments and surveys obtained by Purchaser, as revised or updated from time to time, are herein referred to as “Title Materials.” Copies

- 53 -

of all Title Materials shall be provided to Marriott’s and CTF’s counsel as and when received, which copies shall not be required to be returned. During the period from the date of this Agreement and ending at 9:00 a.m. EDT, May 6, 2005 (the “Objection Period”), Purchaser shall notify Marriott in writing of those material matters relating to title disclosed to Purchaser in the Title Materials or otherwise disclosed in materials received by Purchaser at least forty-eight (48) hours prior to 9:00 a.m. EDT, May 6, 2005, to which Purchaser objects (including, for example, the size or configuration of any Real Properties which are not acceptable to Purchaser) and that are not Permitted Encumbrances set forth in items (b)-(d) of the definition thereof (collectively, the “Purchaser’s Objections”). As to matters relating to title disclosed in the Title Materials or otherwise disclosed in materials received by Purchaser within forty-eight (48) hours prior to 9:00 a.m. EDT, May 6, 2005, Purchaser shall notify Marriott in writing of its Title Objections within forty-eight (48) hours of its receipt of such materials but in no event later than 9:00 a.m. EDT, May 7, 2005. Purchaser shall endeavor to deliver the Purchaser’s Objections in a reasonably expeditious manner and on a property-by-property basis commencing no later than the date hereof and thereafter as soon as reasonably practical after the date Purchaser receives the applicable portion of the Title Materials. Purchaser shall not be deemed to waive its right to make Purchaser’s Objections even if Purchaser’s Objections are not made in a reasonably expeditious manner so long as Purchaser’s Objections are made during the Objection Period. At Closing Purchaser shall reimburse Marriott for all costs and expenses incurred or expended by Marriott to the Title Company and/or the Surveyor in connection with obtaining the Title Materials with regard to the Real Properties.

(b) Title Policies. Prior to the expiration of the Objection Period, Purchaser shall obtain from the Title Company, with respect to the Leased Real Property and the Owned Real Property, in all jurisdictions where available, a commitment to insure accompanied by a Pro Forma title policy, in form acceptable to Purchaser (each, a “Pro Forma”). Each Pro Forma shall be written on an ALTA Form B (1970, amended 10/17/70, or if the 1970, amended 10/17/70 form is not available, the 1992 form with no creditors’ rights exclusion (except in States or jurisdictions where such form or deletion is not permitted)) or on such similar forms as is available in the applicable jurisdictions, insuring extended owner’s title coverage and shall evidence Title Company’s commitment, upon compliance with the Title Company’s requirements as set forth in the Title Company’s commitments to insure (the “Requirements”), to insure title to the Real Property that is the subject of any Pro Forma, subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances. The Pro Formas shall be in form and substance acceptable to Purchaser, and shall include all endorsements reasonably required by Purchaser. Purchaser shall deliver all Pro Formas and Requirements (including the form of any affidavits or certifications required to be executed by CTF in satisfaction of a Requirement) to Marriott’s counsel no later than the expiration of the Objection Period.

(c) Title Cure Period. Upon the termination of the Objection Period, except for the Purchaser’s Objections if the same are timely raised, the Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted the form and substance of all matters disclosed in the Title Materials which shall become Permitted Encumbrances for all purposes under the terms of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. Following the Objection Period, and

- 54 -

without any obligation to do so, CTF shall have until May 16, 2005, or by delivery of written notice to Purchaser by CTF or Marriott, until such later date, but not beyond May 23, 2005 (as such date may have been extended, the “Title Cure Period”) to elect to cure or elect not to cure any or all matters raised in Purchaser’s Objections; provided, however, CTF agrees to have released, by the Closing, any liens securing any Debt. If CTF elects to cure such Title Objections, the cure must be sufficient for the Title Company to remove the applicable Title Objection from the exceptions to title set forth in the applicable Pro Forma.

(d) Termination of Title Cure Period. If, for any reason, CTF is unable or at CTF’s sole election, unwilling to take such actions as may be required to cause the matter identified in Purchaser’s Objections to be cured or removed so as to convey title to the Real Properties consistent with the Pro Formas, or if CTF objects to any Requirements or any other obligation which it may incur in connection with the issuance of the Pro Forma title policies, Marriott shall cause CTF to give Purchaser notice thereof prior to the expiration of the Title Cure Period; it being understood and agreed that the failure of Marriott or CTF to timely give such notice shall be deemed an election by CTF not to remedy such matters. If CTF shall elect not (or be deemed to elect not) to remove any matter identified in Purchaser’s Objections, Purchaser may, in the exercise of its sole discretion either: (i) close the Transaction with respect to the Real Properties subject to the Purchaser’s Objections (that CTF will not cure) without abatement of the Unadjusted Purchase Price, in which event: (A) the Purchaser’s Objections that CTF will not cure shall be, and be deemed to be, for all purposes, Permitted Encumbrances; (B) the Purchaser shall close the Transactions notwithstanding the existence of any of the Purchaser’s Objections that CTF will not cure; and (C) CTF and Marriott shall have no obligation or liability whatsoever after the Closing with respect to the CTF’s failure to cause any of the Purchaser’s Objections to be eliminated; or (ii) terminate this Agreement by written notice given to Marriott and CTF within four (4) calendar days thereafter, in which event this Agreement shall terminate, the Deposit and all interest accrued thereon shall be returned to Purchaser and neither party hereto shall have any further obligations hereunder other than those obligations expressly stated herein to survive the termination of this Agreement. In the event Purchaser elects to proceed to Closing, the Pro Formas shall be revised to (i) delete those Requirements objected to by CTF and (ii) add Purchaser’s Objections that CTF will not cure so that the Pro Formas shall be consistent with the quality of title accepted or deemed accepted by Purchaser pursuant to this Section 9.1(d).

(e) Requirement to Eliminate Purchaser’s Objections; Requirement to Remove Liens; Additional Title Matters. It is expressly understood that unless CTF expressly agrees, in the exercise of its sole discretion, to remove a title exception identified in Purchaser’s Objections prior to Closing, neither CTF nor Marriott shall be required to bring any action, institute any proceeding, or otherwise incur any costs or expenses in order to attempt to eliminate any of the Purchaser’s Objections or to otherwise cause title to the Properties to comport with the terms of this Agreement on the Closing Date; provided, however, that Marriott shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause CTF to remove (i) any liens that are filed against the Real Properties during the period after the expiration of the Title Cure Period and before the Closing, but

- 55 -

only if they are recorded by CTF or caused by CTF’s action or failure to act, and (ii) any liens securing Debt. Should matters relative to title, other than liens the CTF is obligated to remove pursuant to the preceding sentence, be discovered from any update of the Title Materials received by Purchaser or otherwise after the expiration of the Objection Period that were not disclosed in the Title Materials received by Purchaser prior to the expiration of the Objection Period (collectively the “New Title Matters”), Purchaser shall have the right to notify Marriott in writing of any New Title Matters which are not Permitted Encumbrances set forth in (b) – (d) of the definition thereof to which Purchaser objects, provided that Purchaser notifies Marriott of its objection within twenty-four (24) hours after such matter is disclosed to Purchaser. Marriott shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause CTF to remove any New Title Matters that are filed against any of the Real Properties during the period after the expiration of the Title Cure Period and before Closing but only if they are recorded by CTF or caused by CTF’s actions or failure to act in circumstances where CTF is under a legal or contractual duty to act. With respect to all other New Title Matters, Marriott shall cause CTF within five (5) days after receipt of notice of the New Title Matters, to advise Marriott whether CTF will cure such New Title Matters prior to the Closing Date and Marriott will promptly notify Purchaser of CTF’s response. Should CTF fail to cure or remove prior to the Closing Date any New Title Matter which is objected to by the Purchaser, and should such New Title Matter materially and adversely impair the value or use of any of the Real Properties to which such objection relates, such failure shall constitute a failure of a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to proceed to Closing with respect to such Real Properties affected by such New Title Matters and the Purchaser may, at its election, determine not to close with respect to such Real Properties. All other New Title Matters which are not cured or removed by CTF shall be deemed waived by Purchaser and shall constitute Permitted Encumbrances for all purposes under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. If Purchaser elects not to proceed to close with respect to any Real Properties in accordance with this Section 9.1(e), in such case, the Unadjusted Purchase Price shall be decreased by the Preliminary Allocated Price applicable to any such Real Properties.

(f) Related Fees, Costs and Expenses. All the fees, costs and expenses associated with the Purchaser’s procurement, preparation, delivery and review of the Title Materials, the issuance of title policies and any endorsements related thereto shall be for the account of the Purchaser pursuant to Section 13.1 herein.

(g) Marriott Assurance. Marriott covenants and agrees to cooperate with the Purchaser in connection with the Title Materials and the title review process and will cause CTF to provide such affidavits or other documents and information as the Purchaser may reasonably require in order to obtain affirmative endorsements or other assurances available under local practice as the Purchaser may require, including non-imputation endorsements, where applicable, provided, however, that (i) all of the foregoing requirements are commercially reasonable, and (ii) Marriott shall not be obligated to cause CTF to provide any affidavit, certification or indemnification to the Title Company that causes CTF to incur any liability in excess of CTF’s liability under the CTF Agreement.

- 56 -

(h) Form of Fee Sale Transfer and Conveyance Documents. Not later than the expiration of the Objection Period, Purchaser shall prepare and forward to Marriott the proposed form of the deeds, bills of sale, assignments, certificates, affidavits and such other instruments and documents (excluding any documents previously provided in connection with the Requirements) (collectively the “Proposed Conveyance Documents”) as may be reasonably necessary in order to consummate the Transactions and facilitate the issuance by the Title Company of the title insurance policies reasonably requested by Purchaser and facilitate the obtaining of other commercially reasonable assurances available under local practice. Marriott and Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith to agree upon the final form of the Proposed Conveyance Documents on or prior to the Closing Date. Purchaser and Marriott acknowledge and agree that the warranty of title set forth in the various deeds and other conveyancing documents shall be in accordance with the commercially reasonable customary practices of the applicable jurisdictions but in all cases sufficient to enable the Title Company to issue the title policies in the forms of the Pro Formas. The warranties of title contained in the various deeds shall not be subject to the provision of Section 10.8(b) of this Agreement. Nothing herein shall be construed as requiring CTF to make any representations, warranties or covenants in the Proposed Conveyance Documents other than those contained in Article 5 and Article 7 of the CTF Agreement.

Section 9.2. Lack of Consent or Estoppels for Certain Hotels.

(a) If any consent required for the assignment of the Leasehold Interest in the Renaissance Chicago Hotel or the Renaissance Vinoy (the “Mandatory Consent Hotel”) is not obtained on or before the Closing Date, in such case:

(i) the Leasehold Interest with respect to the Renaissance Chicago Hotel or the Renaissance Vinoy, as the case may be, shall not be assigned to Purchaser at the Closing;

(ii) The Unadjusted Purchase Price shall be decreased by the amount of the Preliminary Allocated Price for the Renaissance Chicago Hotel or Renaissance Vinoy, as the case may be; and

(iii) from and after the Closing through to December 31, 2005, Marriott and the Purchaser shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain and secure consents and approvals that may be necessary to effect the assignment of the Leasehold Interest for the Renaissance Chicago Hotel and the Renaissance Vinoy and make or complete such assignment as soon as reasonably possible, with the payment of additional consideration to CTF in the amount of the Preliminary Allocated Price, it being understood that if such consent is not obtained on or before December 31, 2005, this Agreement as to the Renaissance Chicago Hotel or the Renaissance Vinoy, as applicable, shall terminate and neither party shall have any further obligations or liabilities with regard thereto.

- 57 -

(b) If any Estoppel Certificate satisfying the requirements of Section 7.9(d) is not obtained prior to the Closing Date or if obtained, contains information which is inconsistent with Marriott’s representations and warranties set forth herein in Article 5 or 5A, then Purchaser shall elect to either: (i) proceed with Closing with respect to the applicable Hotel or Hotels and waive any right to require the receipt of an Estoppel Certificate and the right to make a claim for indemnification under Article 10 based upon the facts or circumstances disclosed by the applicable Estoppel Certificate, or (ii) elect not to proceed with Closing with respect to the applicable Hotel or Hotels (in which case the Unadjusted Purchase Price shall be decreased by the Preliminary Allocated Price for such Hotel or Hotels) in order to permit Marriott a period of time during which to attempt to obtain an Estoppel Certificate in the form required hereby. In the event that Purchaser elects under clause (ii) above to permit Marriott additional time to obtain an Estoppel Certificate and Marriott fails to deliver an Estoppel Certificate satisfying the requirements of Section 7.9(d) to Purchaser prior to December 31, 2005, then Purchaser shall either (A) elect not to have the Leasehold Interest with respect to the applicable Hotel assigned to Purchaser at the Closing and the Unadjusted Purchase Price shall be decreased by the amount of the Preliminary Allocated Price for the applicable Hotel, or (B) shall proceed to consummate the Transaction with respect to the applicable Hotel and shall retain any rights it may have under the indemnification provisions of Article 10.

Section 9.3. General Conditions. The respective obligations of the Purchaser and Marriott to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be subject to the fulfillment, at or prior to the Closing, of each of the following conditions, any of which may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be waived in writing by either party in its sole discretion:

(a) No Governmental Authority shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any Law (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent), that is then in effect and that enjoins, restrains, makes illegal or otherwise prohibits the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements.

(b) Any waiting period (and any extension thereof) under any antitrust laws applicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements shall have expired or shall have been terminated. All other material consents of, or registrations, declarations or filings with, any Governmental Authority legally required for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements shall have been obtained or filed or (with respect to liquor licenses) shall be in the process of being obtained and Marriott shall be responsible for the process with respect to liquor licenses such that there will be no interruption in the sale of liquor at the Hotels being purchased by Purchaser.

(c) Closing under the CTF Agreement with respect to the Hotels shall have occurred or shall occur simultaneously with Closing hereunder.

- 58 -

Section 9.4. Conditions to the Obligations of Marriott. The obligations of Marriott to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be subject to the fulfillment, at or prior to the Closing, of each of the following conditions, any of which may be waived in writing by Marriott in its sole discretion:

(a) The Purchaser shall have performed in all material respects all obligations and agreements and complied in all material respects with all covenants and conditions required by this Agreement to be performed or complied with by it prior to or at the Closing and Marriott shall have received from the Purchaser a certificate to such effect, signed by a duly authorized officer thereof.

(b) Marriott shall have received an executed counterpart of each of the Purchaser’s Closing Deliveries as set forth on Schedule 9.4(b), signed by each party thereto other than Marriott.

Section 9.5. Conditions to the Obligations of the Purchaser. The obligations of the Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be subject to the fulfillment, at or prior to the Closing, of each of the following conditions, any of which may be waived in writing by the Purchaser in its sole discretion:

(a) There shall not have occurred any of the following:

(i) an event or matter which constitutes a breach of a representation and warranty in Sections 5.2, 5.3(a)-(e), 5.11(a), 5.2A or 5.3A;

(ii) the entry against CTF of an Order which constitutes a breach of a representation and warranty in Section 5.8(b) and, as of the Closing, prevents a Hotel from operating in the Ordinary Course of Business in all material respects; or

(iii) an event or matter, other than a Casualty Loss, that constitutes a breach of any other of CTF’s representations, warranties or covenants contained in the CTF Agreement or Marriott’s representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement that (A) with respect to any Group A Hotels, or the Hotel Interests related thereto, adversely impacts the value of one or more of such Hotels, or the Hotel Interests related thereto, by more than the Group A Threshold Amount or (B) with respect to any Group B Hotels, or the Hotel Interests related thereto, adversely impacts the value of one or more of such Hotels, or the Hotel Interests related thereto, by more than the Group B Threshold Amount,

provided, however, if Purchaser determines not to proceed with Closing with respect to such Hotel, Purchaser’s sole remedy in event of such breach shall be that: (1) Marriott shall not cause CTF to assign, transfer, convey or deliver such Hotel Interest affected by such breach to the Purchaser at the Closing, and (2) the Unadjusted Purchase Price shall be reduced by the Preliminary Allocated Price for such Hotel Interest.

(b) Marriott shall have performed in all material respects all obligations and agreements and complied in all material respects with all covenants and conditions required by this Agreement to be performed or complied with by it prior to or at the Closing and the Purchaser shall have received from Marriott a certificate to such effect, signed by a duly authorized officer thereof.

ARTICLE 10. INDEMNIFICATION.

Section 10.1. Pass-Through Representations.

(a) The representations and warranties set forth in Section 5.1 through Section 5.17 hereof are substantially identical to those certain representations and warranties made by CTF to Marriott in Sections 5.1 through 5.17 of the CTF Agreement (the “Pass Through Representations”). Wherever in this Agreement Marriott has made a covenant to perform, or to cause CTF to perform, an obligation which CTF has undertaken to perform for the benefit of Marriott in the CTF Agreement, such covenants shall be referred to herein as the “Pass Through Covenants”. Purchaser acknowledges that Marriott may have no direct or actual knowledge of the facts contained in certain of the Pass Through Representations and except as set forth in Section 5.17A that Marriott is relying exclusively on the correctness of the Pass Through Representations of CTF in making the Pass Through Representations to Purchaser and that Marriott has no independent capability to perform certain covenants of CTF. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Marriott’s liability to Purchaser for any Breach of the Pass Through Representations or any breach or failure to perform any of the Pass Through Covenants shall be, and shall be limited to, the actual monetary damages or other relief received by Marriott based on the breach of the Pass Through Representations and/or Pass Through Covenants by CTF. Except as set forth in this Section 10.1(a)-(b), Marriott shall have no liability or obligation to Purchaser for any Breach by Marriott of the Pass Through Representations or Pass Through Covenants.

(b) Upon the occurrence of a Breach of the Pass Through Representations and/or Pass Through Covenants and upon Purchaser making a claim against Marriott, Marriott shall exercise any and all rights and remedies available to Marriott under the CTF Agreement or at law or in equity (i) to bring against CTF a claim for indemnification and institute litigation to enforce such claim to the same extent as made by Purchaser against Marriott (but only to, and in the manner permitted by the CTF Agreement and subject to the limitations of Article 10 of the CTF Agreement, which for the avoidance of doubt, exempts Tax matters from any such limitations imposed by Article 10 of the CTF Agreement) (a “Mirror Claim”); and (ii) to seek as damages in the

- 60 -

Mirror Claim, all Losses of the Purchaser arising from the Mirror Claim (but only to in the manner permitted by this Agreement and subject to the limitations of Article 10 as aforesaid). In taking any action against CTF, Purchaser shall have the right to select counsel and to manage any and all claims, actions, causes of action and/or litigation which Marriott may pursue in order to enforce its rights hereunder. Marriott shall cooperate fully with Purchaser in Purchaser’s efforts to enforce its right based on a Breach of the Pass Through Representations and/or Pass Through Covenants. Purchaser shall be responsible for, and shall pay all of Purchaser’s reasonable expenses which Purchaser may suffer, incur or expend in its efforts to enforce its rights against CTF, including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees, fees of experts, and court costs and may include such costs as a part of its claim for damages.

Section 10.2. Survival of Representations, Warranties and Indemnities. The representations, warranties and covenants of Marriott and the Purchaser contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing until April 30, 2007, except as to Section 7.12 which shall survive until the applicable statute of limitations, if longer; provided, however, that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 5.2, 5.3(a)-(e), 5.2A, 5.3A, 7.4 and 7.11 shall survive indefinitely. Survival of the representations and warranties in Sections 5.16 and 5.16A shall be governed by the provisions of Section 8.9.

Section 10.3. Indemnification by Marriott. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article 10, Marriott shall save, defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser (including the Targets and their Subsidiaries) and the respective Representatives, successors and assigns of each of the foregoing (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, claims, interest, awards, judgments, penalties, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in investigating, preparing or defending the foregoing) (hereinafter collectively, “Losses”), incurred, sustained or suffered by any of the foregoing to the extent arising out of or resulting from:

(a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Marriott contained in this Agreement other than the Pass Through Representations set forth in Section 5 of this Agreement and representations made in Section 5.18A;

(b) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Marriott contained in Section 5.18A of this Agreement, provided, however, that Marriott’s liability in connection therewith is limited to its proportionate share of any such Loss as the seller of its twenty percent (20%) equity interest therein;

(c) any breach of any covenant or agreement by Marriott (hereinafter the “Marriott Covenants”) contained in this Agreement other than a Pass Through Covenant;

(d) any Third Party Claim that arises from an event occurring prior to Closing regarding any Interest Holder other than (i) a liability reflected on the Balance Sheet of such Target to the extent of the amount so reflected, or (ii) any Assumed Liability and any other liability expressly assumed by Purchaser under this Agreement to the extent of the amount so assumed;

- 61 -

(e) any liability for any brokers’ or investment banking fees of Marriott or its Affiliates in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; and

(f) arising other than from Marriott’s actions or failure to take actions where required, all obligations, penalties, liabilities and expenses under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988, as amended, or other similar state laws, arising from the Transactions.

Section 10.4. Indemnification by the Purchaser. The Purchaser shall save, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Marriott and its Affiliates and the respective Representatives, successors and assigns of each of the foregoing (collectively, the “Marriott Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses incurred, sustained or suffered by any of the foregoing to the extent arising out of or resulting from:

(a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Purchaser contained in this Agreement;

(b) any breach of any covenant or agreement by the Purchaser contained in this Agreement;

(c) any Third Party Claim that arises from an event that occurs after the Closing against any Seller Indemnified Party (as defined in the CTF Agreement) with respect to the operations or ownership of the Hotels or Hotel Interest, except to the extent that such claim or cause of action (i) was caused by a breach of Marriott’s obligations and duties as manager under the Hotel Management Agreements or with respect to which Marriott is otherwise responsible pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Hotel Management Agreements (in which event the terms and conditions of the Hotel Management Agreements shall govern); (ii) was made by Marriott or an Affiliate of Marriott against a Seller Indemnified Party, or (iii) would not have arisen if the representations, warranties and covenants of CTF in the CTF Agreement and the representations, warranties and covenants of Marriott in this Agreement were true, accurate and fulfilled.

(d) any Assumed Liabilities; or

(e) any claim for any brokers’ or investment banking fees of the Purchaser in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 10.5. Procedures.

(a) In order for a Purchaser Indemnified Party or Marriott Indemnified Party (the “Indemnified Party”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of, arising out of or involving a Loss or a claim or demand made by any Person (other than Marriott and its Affiliates and the Purchaser) against the Indemnified Party, including a Mirror Claim (a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified

- 62 -

Party shall deliver notice thereof to the party against whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after receipt by such Indemnified Party of written notice of the Third Party Claim, but in no event later than the Claims Deadline, describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to any claim for indemnification hereunder, the amount or method of computation of the amount of such claim (if known) and such other information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. The failure to provide as part of the initial written notice of claim, the information set forth in the preceding sentence shall not invalidate the effectiveness of the written notice provided the information is delivered in a reasonable time period thereafter. The failure to provide such notice, however, shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article 10 except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of the commencement of such Third Party Claim (except as may be provided to the contrary as to a Mirror Claim, in which case Purchaser shall bear all the costs associated therewith), to assume the defense thereof at the expense of the Indemnifying Party with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, or offer to compromise, settle or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent unless the Indemnifying Party withdraws from the defense of such Third Party Claim or unless a final judgment from which no appeal may be taken by or on behalf of the Indemnifying Party is entered against the Indemnified Party for such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any such claims or proceeding pursuant to this Section 10.5 and the Indemnified Party proposes to settle such claims or proceeding prior to a final judgment thereon or to forgo any appeal with respect thereto, then the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in the settlement or assume or reassume the defense of such claims or proceeding. The Indemnifying Party and its counsel shall conduct such defense or settlement in a manner reasonably satisfactory and effective to protect the Indemnified Party fully. The Indemnifying Party and its counsel shall keep the Indemnified Party fully advised as to its conduct of such defense or settlement, and shall not compromise or settle such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless such settlement or compromise does not subject the Indemnified Party to any monetary liability, includes a complete, unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all

liability with respect to such Third Party Claim, and does not constitute an acknowledgement or acceptance by the Indemnified Party of fault, culpability, or responsibility of any kind. Notwithstanding the Indemnifying Party’s election to defend against or settle the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, upon written notice to the Indemnifying Party, elect to employ its own counsel and assume control of such defense or settlement if (A) the Indemnifying Party is also a Person against whom the Third Party Claim is made and the Indemnified Person determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate; (B) the Indemnified Party determines in good faith that the Indemnified Party may have available to its one or more defenses or counterclaims that are inconsistent with, different from, or in addition to one or more of those that may be available to the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Third Party Claim; (C) the Indemnifying Party fails to provide reasonable assurance to the Indemnified Party of its financial capacity to defend such Third Party Claim; (D) the Indemnifying Party shall not in fact have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party for the defense or settlement of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the assumption of control of the defense or settlement of a Third Party Claim by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this sentence shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligation to indemnify and hold the Indemnified Party harmless.

(c) In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim against any Indemnifying Party hereunder that does not involve a Third Party Claim being asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall deliver notice of such claim to the Indemnifying Party no later than the Claims Deadline, describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to any claim for indemnification hereunder, the amount or method of computation of the amount of such claim (if known) and such other information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. The failure to provide as part of the initial written notice of claim, the information set forth in the preceding sentence shall not invalidate the effectiveness of the written notice provided the information is provided subsequently. The failure to provide such notice, however, shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article 10 except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of any claim pursuant to this Section 10.5(c) to (i) agree to the amount or method of determination set forth in such claim and to pay such amount to such Indemnified Party or (ii) provide the Indemnified Party with notice (a “Dispute Notice”) that it disagrees with the amount or method of determination set forth in such claim. If the Indemnifying Party has timely delivered a Dispute Notice, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall, during a period thirty (30) days from the Indemnified Party’s receipt of such Dispute Notice, negotiate to achieve of resolution of such dispute and, if not resolved through negotiations, such dispute shall be resolved as provided in Section 13.10.

Section 10.6. Limits on Indemnification.

(a) No claim may be asserted against any party for breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, unless written notice of such

- 64 -

claim is received by such party describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim on or prior to May 30, 2007 (the “Claim Deadline”) in which case such representation, warranty or covenant shall survive as to such claim until such claim has been finally resolved. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no Claims Deadline applicable to a claim raised with respect to a breach of Sections 5.2, 5.3(a)-(e), 5.2A, 5.3A, 7.4 and 7.11 hereof. In addition, no claim may be asserted against Marriott for breach of any of CTF’s or Marriott’s representations or warranties to the extent that (i) the Title Materials, or (ii) the reports of the Structural and Environmental Consultants contain information that is inconsistent with such representations or warranties.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, with respect to each Fee Property, Target or Leasehold Interest: (i) Marriott shall not be liable for any claim for indemnification of $5,000.00 or less pursuant to Section 10.1(a), 10.1(b), or 10.3 resulting from any single claim or aggregated claims arising out of the same facts, events or circumstances (the “De Minimus Amount”), (ii) Marriott shall not be liable unless and until the aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from Marriott on account of all claims equals or exceeds $50,000 (the “Threshold Amount”), at which time Marriott shall be liable for all such Losses, (iii) the maximum aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered by Purchaser Indemnified Parties arising out of or relating to the causes set forth in Section 10.3(a), 10.3(b), 10.3(c) or 10.3(d) in relation to any single Fee Property, Target or Leasehold Interest shall equal fifty percent (50%) of the Preliminary Allocated Price in respect of such Fee Property, Target or Leasehold Interest, as the case may be (the “Indemnification Limit”), (iv) no party hereto shall have any liability under any provision of this Agreement for any punitive, consequential, incidental, special or indirect damages, relating to the breach or alleged breach of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) the Indemnification Limit applicable to Losses related to a breach of a representation, warranty or covenant under Sections 5.2, 5.3(a)-(e), 5.2A and 5.3A shall be the Preliminary Allocated Price of each Target and (B) the De Minimus Amount and the Threshold Amount shall not be applicable to Losses related to a breach of a representation, warranty or covenant under Section 5.13(b)(iv).

(c) For all purposes of this Article 10, “Losses” shall be net of (i) any insurance (other than any self-insured retention program) or other recoveries paid (subject to Section 10.8) by a third-party to the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates in connection with the facts, events or circumstances giving rise to the right of indemnification and (ii) any net Tax benefit available to such Indemnified Party or its Affiliates arising in connection with the accrual, incurrence or payment of any such Losses (including the net present value of any Tax benefit arising in subsequent taxable years).

(d) The Purchaser and Marriott shall cooperate with each other with respect to resolving any Third Party claim with respect to which one party is obligated to indemnify the other party hereunder, including by making Commercially Reasonable Efforts to mitigate such claim. In the event that the Purchaser or Marriott shall fail to make such Commercially Reasonable Efforts to mitigate or resolve any claim or liability,

- 65 -

then notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained herein, the other party shall not be required to indemnify any person to the extent of any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense that could reasonably be expected to have been avoided if the Purchaser or Marriott, as the case may be, had made such efforts.

(e) For purposes of this Article 10, “Losses” shall be determined in all cases without regard to any qualification or limitation with respect to “materiality” whether by reference to “in any material respect” or any other use of “material.”

Section 10.7. Tax Matters. Anything in this Article 10 to the contrary notwithstanding, the rights and obligations of the parties with respect to indemnification for any and all Tax matters shall be governed by Article 8.

Section 10.8. Assignment of Claims. If any Purchaser Indemnified Party receives any payment from Marriott in respect of any Losses pursuant to Section 10.3 and the Purchaser Indemnified Party could have recovered all or a part of such Losses from a third party (a “Potential Contributor”) based on the underlying claim asserted against Marriott, the Purchaser Indemnified Party shall assign, on a non-recourse basis and without any representation or warranty, such of its rights to proceed against the Potential Contributor as are necessary to permit Marriott to recover from the Potential Contributor the amount of such payment. Any payment received in respect of such claim shall be distributed,(i) first to the Purchaser Indemnified Party in the amount of any deductible or similar amount required to be paid by the Purchaser Indemnified Party prior to Marriott being required to make any payment to the Purchaser Indemnified Party,(ii) second to Marriott in an amount equal to the aggregate payments made by Marriott to the Purchaser Indemnified Party in respect of such claim, plus costs and expenses incurred in investigating, defending or otherwise incurred in connection with addressing such claim and (iii) the balance, if any, to the Purchaser Indemnified Party.

Section 10.9. Disclaimer of Implied Warranties.

(a) It is the explicit intent and understanding of each party hereto that neither party hereto or its Representatives is making any representation or warranty whatsoever, oral or written, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of any information regarding the Property, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, and neither party hereto is relying on any statement, representation or warranty, oral or written, express or implied, made by the other party hereto or such other party’s Representatives, except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Agreement and the conveyance documents contemplated hereunder.

(b) Each party hereto hereby agrees and acknowledges that each of the conveyance documents contemplated hereunder and under the CTF Agreement shall explicitly reflect the fact that the Purchaser is purchasing the applicable Owned Real Property or Leased Real Property on an “as is” condition “with all faults” and without any warranties, representations or guaranties of any kind, oral or written, express or implied, concerning the Property from or on behalf of Marriott or CTF, except as may be expressly set forth in the representations and warranties in this Agreement as

- 66 -

contemplated under Section 9.1(g). The Purchaser acknowledges that, except as may be expressly set forth in this Agreement and the conveyance documents contemplated hereunder and under the CTF Agreement, Marriott has not, does not, and will not make any representations, warranties or guaranties, of any kind, oral or written, express or implied, concerning the Property including, without limitation (i) the quality, adequacy, state of repair or physical condition of the Property, (ii) the habitability, merchantability or fitness, suitability or adequacy of the Property or any portion thereof for any particular use or purpose, (iii) the zoning or other legal status of the Property, (iv) the compliance by the Property, or any portion thereof, with any applicable codes, laws, regulations, statutes, ordinances, covenants, conditions or restrictions of any governmental or quasi-governmental entity or of any Person, or (v) the environmental condition of the Property, including its compliance with environmental laws and the presence or non-presence of hazardous substances.

ARTICLE 11. DEFAULT, REMEDIES.

Section 11.1. Purchaser’s Default. Should Purchaser default on its obligation under this Agreement to purchase (a) the Fee Properties or (b) the Leasehold Properties, and all conditions to Purchaser’s obligations were timely satisfied in each case, as applicable, then Marriott shall be entitled to retain the Deposit as liquidated damages and terminate this Agreement (and the retention of the Deposit shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Marriott for such breach) in which event Purchaser shall have no rights under this Agreement or the CTF Agreement, and Marriott shall have the right, but not the obligation, to close under the CTF Agreement.

Section 11.2. Marriott’s Default.

(a) If all other parties, including CTF and the other purchaser of Hotels under contract with Marriott to acquire such Hotels, shall have fully performed their respective obligations under this Agreement and any other applicable Purchase and Sale Agreement with regard to the Hotels including the CTF Agreement, and Marriott shall default hereunder, Purchaser shall be entitled to receive from Marriott as its sole and exclusive remedy (i) a refund of its Deposit and all interest earned thereon, (ii) Purchaser’s Out of Pocket Costs, and (iii) a payment in the amount of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000).

(b) If Marriott shall default under this Agreement as a result of a default by the other purchaser of any of the Hotels under contract with Marriott pursuant to the CTF Agreement under its applicable Purchase and Sale Agreement, and such default shall not have been caused by a default by CTF under the CTF Agreement, Purchaser shall be entitled to receive from Marriott (i) a refund of its Deposit and (ii) all interest earned thereon and its reasonable Purchaser’s Out of Pocket Costs not to exceed Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000).

(c) If Marriott’s default hereunder results from a default by CTF under the CTF Agreement, Marriott shall determine which if any remedy it wishes to pursue against CTF and shall provide to Purchaser notice of such determination. Purchaser shall

- 67 -

have a period of ten (10) days after receipt of Marriott’s determination within which to elect to participate in such action or not to so participate. If Purchaser elects not to participate in any such action, this Agreement shall terminate, the Deposit and all interest earned thereon shall be returned to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall not be entitled to any damages. In any event, all decisions as to the pursuit of remedies and the prosecution of any litigation shall be made solely by Marriott. In any action for damages in which Purchaser remains a party, Purchaser shall be entitled to its pro rata share of any damages in fact awarded to, and received by Marriott, less its pro rata share of any costs incurred by Marriott in pursuing such action.

(d) If Marriott defaults under this Agreement, and such default shall not have resulted from a default by CTF under the CTF Agreement, and if thereafter Marriott either acquires one or more of the Hotels under the CTF Agreement or otherwise transfers its right to acquire one or more of the Hotels under the CTF Agreement to a third party, Purchaser shall have the right to specific performance as to this Agreement; provided, however, Purchaser must (i) institute such action for Specific Performance against Marriott within three (3) months from the first date on which Purchaser first learns or discovers that Marriott has so acquired the Hotels under the CTF Agreement or so transferred its rights under the CTF Agreement and (ii) as a closing condition to the purchaser of such Hotels, repay to Marriott a fraction of any sums previously paid by Marriott to Purchaser for out-of-pocket expenses as provided in Sections 11.2(a) and (b) hereof as to the Hotels (other than sums paid by Purchaser to lenders, to the extent such sums are not applied by such lenders to the financing used by Purchaser to purchase the Hotels in such action of specific performance), the numerator of which fraction is the Preliminary Allocated Price of the Hotels being purchased in such action for specific performance and the denominator of which is the Preliminary Allocated Price of all Hotels. In the event that an action for specific performance is not available, Purchaser shall be entitled to a refund of its Deposit and all interest earned thereon and Purchaser’s Out of Pocket Costs as liquidated damages.

ARTICLE 12. TERMINATION.

Section 12.1. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

(d) by either Marriott or the Purchaser in the event that any Governmental Authority shall have issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such order, decree, ruling or other action shall have become final and non-appealable; provided, that the party so requesting termination shall have complied with Section 7.10.

As used and described in this Agreement and in the CTF Agreement, a Designee must be either the Purchaser or a wholly-owned subsidiary of Purchaser.

The transactions set forth in this Section 2.1 are collectively referred to as the “Transaction.”

Section 2.5 Property Improvement Plan Expenditures. Purchaser agrees, pursuant to each of the applicable Hotel Management Agreements, to fund a maximum amount equal to $35,502,000 minus the PIP Expenditures (such amount, the “PIP Amount”) towards the immediate renovation and property improvement needs of the Hotels. Marriott shall, provide Purchaser for the Long Beach, Westchester and Orlando Hotels prior to Closing, and for the other Hotels subsequent to Closing, with preliminary Property Improvement Plans for each Hotel, together with estimated pricing thereof, describing all of the renovation and property improvement needs that Marriott considers necessary to meet System Standards (as defined in the Hotel Management Agreements) or otherwise desirable (the “Preliminary PIPs”). Following the delivery of each of the Preliminary PIPs, Purchaser shall work with Marriott to refine and revise the Preliminary PIPs, in both scope and pricing, with the objective of agreeing upon final Property Improvement Plans that will satisfy all System Standards (as well as any other work mutually agreed upon) for a budgeted amount not in excess of the PIP Amount. If the parties are able to agree on such final Property Improvement Plans, they shall be deemed to be the Renovation Plans for all purposes of the Hotel Management Agreements. In the event that, within thirty (30) days following the delivery of the last Preliminary PIP, Purchaser and Marriott are unable to agree on final Property Improvement Plans for the Hotels in an aggregate amount not exceeding the PIP Amount, then Marriott shall determine the scope of the final Property Improvement Plans (which shall be consistent with the Preliminary PIPs and System Standards) provided that the pricing of such scope (as determined by Marriott) shall not be in excess of the PIP Amount. If the costs of the agreed final Property Improvement Plans are less than the PIP Amount, the PIP Amount will be reduced accordingly. In no event shall Purchaser be required to fund amounts in excess of the PIP Amount for the agreed final Property Improvement Plans. Upon completion of the Final PIP (as that term is defined in, and in accordance with, the terms

-16-

of the applicable Hotel Management Agreement), such Hotel shall be deemed to comply with the System Standards (as defined in the Hotel Management Agreements) in effect as of the date of completion.

ARTICLE 3. PURCHASE PRICE ADJUSTMENTS AND CLOSING

Section 3.1 Purchase Price. In consideration for the Transaction, the Purchaser shall pay into escrow at the Closing an aggregate purchase price of U.S. $419,470,000 (the “Unadjusted Purchase Price”), as shall be adjusted as provided in this Article 3, Section 7.3 and Section 9.2 (the “Adjusted Purchase Price”).

Section 3.2 Deposit. Upon execution of this Agreement, Purchaser shall deposit into escrow $20,000,000 (the “Deposit”) with the Title Company. The Deposit will be non-refundable, other than for termination based on a failure of a material condition to Purchaser’s obligation to consummate the Transaction. If the Transaction is consummated, the Deposit, and interest earned thereon, will be applied against the Purchase Price; provided, however, if the Buy-Sell Procedures for the Techworld Hotel are invoked in accordance with Schedule 9.2(d) of this Agreement, the Deposit and all interest earned thereon shall be retained by the Title Company to secure Purchaser’s obligations pursuant to Schedule 9.2(d).

Section 3.3 Estimated Working Capital, Capital Expenditure and PIP Expenditure Adjustments.

(a) Section 3.2 of the CTF Agreement contemplates, and provides a procedure for, CTF and Marriott to determine certain items defined and described therein as the Estimated Total Working Capital, the Estimated North American Capex and the Estimated PIP Expenditures. Marriott and Purchaser shall recalculate the Estimated Total Working Capital, utilizing the definition of Working Capital set forth in this Agreement for all purposes and calculations contemplated in this Section 3.3(a). At Closing, the Unadjusted Purchase Price shall be: (i) increased (or decreased) by the amount by which the Estimated Total Working Capital applicable to the Hotels is more (or less) than $0; (ii) increased (or decreased) by the amount by which the Estimated North American Capex applicable to the Hotels is more (or less) than the Target North American Capex Amount as set forth on Schedule 3.3(a); and (iii) increased by the amount of the Estimated PIP Expenditures.

(b) At Closing Purchaser shall provide to Marriott for each Hotel an amount equal to the Adjusted Working Capital for such Hotel. Adjusted Working Capital shall mean, for each Hotel, the difference, if any, by which (i) the Adjusted Estimated Total Working Capital for such Hotel is less than (ii) the Initial Required Working Capital for such Hotel. If the Adjusted Estimated Total Working Capital for any Hotel is less than $0, Purchaser shall fund the amount of such Adjusted Estimated Total Working Capital deficit at Closing and shall also fund the applicable Initial Required Working Capital for such Hotel. If the Adjusted Estimated Total Working Capital for any Hotel is less than $0 and the Initial Required Working Capital for such Hotel is less than $0,

-17-

Purchaser shall fund the amount equal to the difference between the negative Adjusted Estimated Total Working Capital and the negative Initial Required Working Capital at Closing. Adjusted Estimated Total Working Capital shall mean, for each Hotel, the amount equal to (i) the Estimated Total Working Capital for such Hotel, minus (ii) the value of the Miscellaneous Operating Supplies included in the calculation of the Estimated Total Working Capital for such Hotel. Initial Required Working Capital shall mean, with respect to each Hotel, the amount set forth on Schedule 3.3(b) for such Hotel. Marriott and Purchaser shall recalculate the Estimated Total Working Capital utilizing the definition of Working Capital set forth in this Agreement for all purposes and calculations contemplated in this Section 3.2(b).

(c) At Closing, with respect to the Westchester Renaissance only, the Unadjusted Purchase Price shall be further adjusted by a reduction equal to the product of (i) the amount of all trade receivables that are aged 60 days or more, times (ii) 0.85 (the “Aged Receivables”). To make such adjustment, Marriott shall provide a list of such Aged Receivables, with specific identification of same. Subsequent to Closing, the parties agree that to the extent the Aged Receivables are collected, such amounts shall not be included as part of the revenues of the Westchester Renaissance, but rather shall be paid directly to Marriott. The parties agree that the staff of the Westchester Renaissance may be used to collect such receivables, as part of their ordinary course of duties and without prioritization of such receivables over any others. Marriott shall be responsible for tracking payment of the Aged Receivables and shall collect only upon payment of specific Aged Receivables. The foregoing provisions may, at the election of either party, be included in the Hotel Management Agreement for the Westchester Renaissance.

Section 3.4 Post-Closing Adjustments. Section 3.3 of the CTF Agreement contemplates that, and provides a procedure for, CTF and Marriott to arrive at certain post-closing adjustments to the Working Capital. Marriott and Purchaser shall recalculate the Estimated Total Working Capital utilizing the definition of Working Capital set forth in this Agreement for all purposes and calculations contemplated in this Section 3.4. Marriott, with the assistance of Purchaser, shall prepare, and submit, the Closing Statements defined and described in Section 3.3 of the CTF Agreement including information and documentation provided by Purchaser within sufficient time in order for Marriott to comply with the time requirements set forth in Section 3.3 of the CTF Agreement. Upon receipt of the final report from the Accounting Firm as described in Section 3.3(c) of the CTF Agreement, which such report shall be final and binding on the parties hereto, either Marriott shall cause CTF to transfer to Purchaser or Purchaser shall transfer to CTF, as the case may be, by wire transfer as described in Section 3.3(c) of the CTF Agreement, the difference between the adjustments made to the Unadjusted Purchase Price (pursuant to Section 3.3 above) and the amounts set forth in the Closing Statements (as may be adjusted by the Accounting Firm), along with interest as set forth in Section 3.3(c) of the CTF Agreement.

-18-

Section 3.5 Certain Transaction Costs.

(a) For the Hotels listed on Schedules 2.1(a) and (c), CTF shall be allocated one-half of the Transfer Taxes which would be payable if such Hotels were transferred pursuant to the Target Sale at the Preliminary Allocated Price. For the Hotels listed on Schedule 2.1(b), CTF shall be allocated one-half of the Transfer Taxes payable pursuant to the Lease Assignment & Sale at the Preliminary Allocated Price. Schedule 3.5 sets forth the parties’ initial estimate of the Transfer Taxes to be incurred in connection with the Fee Sale, Target Sale and Lease Assignment & Sale as well as the estimated amount thereof to be allocated to CTF and Purchaser. Schedule 3.5 shall be adjusted by CTF, Marriott and Purchaser from time-to-time until the Closing to reflect any elections made by Marriott under the CTF Agreement and calculations made by the Title Company based upon the actual amount of Transfer Taxes due and payable in the applicable jurisdictions as of the Closing Date.

(b) Regardless of Law or convention, it shall be the responsibility of Purchaser to pay or cause to be paid all Transfer Taxes and otherwise complete and file all Tax Returns in connection therewith in a timely manner. Marriott shall, and shall cause CTF to, cooperate with Purchaser as reasonably requested by Purchaser in connection with the preparation and filing of such Tax Returns. The Unadjusted Purchase Price shall be reduced at Closing by the total amount of Transfer Taxes allocated to CTF that are actually paid or payable by Purchaser, and the Preliminary Allocated Price related to each Hotel Interest affected thereby shall be reduced accordingly.

Section 3.6 Structural and Environmental Consultants. Marriott has retained third party consultants (the “Structural and Environmental Consultants”) to perform structural and environmental analyses of the Hotels and Marriott has provided Purchaser with copies of all of the reports and work product prepared by the Structural and Environmental Consultants with regard to the Hotels. Marriott shall cause the Structural and Environmental Consultants to provide letters authorizing the Purchaser to rely upon the reports, work product, representations and warranties provided by the Structural Environmental Consultants. At Closing, in addition to payment of the Purchase Price, Purchaser shall reimburse Marriott for the cost of all of the work performed by the Structural and Environmental Consultants with respect to the Hotels.

Section 3.7 Purchase Price Allocation.

(a) The parties have agreed upon the amount of the Preliminary Allocated Price for CTF’s interest in each of the Hotels and Minority Owned Entities, which amounts are set forth on Schedules 2.1(a)-(d). By written notice to Marriott given not less than fourteen (14) Business Days prior to the Closing, Purchaser may modify the Preliminary Allocated Price for any such interest within the range permitted in Schedules 2.1(a)-(d), as applicable (each such Preliminary Allocated Price as modified in the “Closing Allocated Price”), provided, however, that the total amount of all Closing Allocated Prices shall at all times equal the Unadjusted Purchase Price as it may be

-19-

adjusted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Closing Allocated Price of each property shall be set forth on Schedules 2.1(a)-(d) which shall be delivered by Purchaser to Marriott two (2) Business Days prior to Closing, provided, however, that to the extent such allocations result in an increase in Transfer Taxes allocated to CTF as set forth on Schedule 3.5 of the CTF Agreement, such difference shall be borne by the Purchaser. In the event of any purchase price adjustment hereunder, Marriott and Purchaser agree to adjust any previously agreed purchase price allocation to reflect such purchase price adjustment and to file subsequent Tax Returns consistent with such agreed allocation.

(b) The Purchaser and Marriott agree that the Closing Allocated Price for each Hotel Interest shall be adjusted to reflect the Adjusted Purchase Price as determined at the Closing. For each Hotel Interest, the purchase of which is treated as an asset purchase for United States federal income tax purposes, the Adjusted Purchase Price, as so adjusted, plus any liabilities attributable to such Hotel Interest that are liabilities for United States tax purposes, shall be allocated for federal income tax purposes among the assets acquired thereby as agreed to by the parties and, if no agreement is reached, as reasonably determined by each of the parties. Subject to the requirements of applicable Law, the Purchaser and Marriott and each of their Affiliates, shall file all Tax Returns, consistent with the Closing Allocated Price adjusted to take into account purchase price adjustments at the Closing and with any other allocation that is agreed in respect of a particular Hotel Interest. In the event of any purchase price adjustment hereunder, Marriott and the Purchaser agree to adjust any previously agreed Purchase Price allocation to reflect such purchase price adjustment and to file Tax Returns consistent with such agreed allocation.

Section 3.8 Closing.

(a) The closing of the Transactions shall take place at a closing (the “Closing”) to be held at the offices of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP, 200 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10166, at 10:00 A.M., or at such other place as CTF, Marriott and Purchaser may agree in writing.

(b) The Closing shall occur on June 17, 2005, provided, however, that if the conditions to Closing of Marriott or Purchaser have not been satisfied as of that date, or upon notice given by Purchaser no later than June 7, 2005, or by Marriott no later than June 8, 2005, then the Closing shall occur not later than June 30, 2005, provided further, however, if all the conditions of both parties to the Closing have been satisfied, except that CTF shall not have received the requisite consent pursuant to the Offer and Solicitation to allow for the release of the liens on the Property securing the Notes, as more fully set forth in Article 4 of the CTF Agreement and as those terms are described and defined in the CTF Agreement, and Marriott exercises its one-time option to postpone the Closing to November 15, 2005 under Section 3.11 of the CTF Agreement, then the Closing hereunder shall also be postponed until November 15, 2005; provided further still, however, if the Closing with respect to any Hotel is delayed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Closing for such Hotel shall occur as soon as practicable following the satisfaction of the conditions to Closing with respect to such Hotel. The day on which a Closing takes place is referred to as the “Closing Date.”

-20-

(c) If the Closing does not occur by June 30, 2005, because CTF did not receive the requisite consent as described in Section 3.8(b), and after Purchaser provides written notice to Marriott no later than July 6, 2005 of Purchaser’s intention to postpone Closing to November 15, 2005, Marriott elects not to exercise its one-time option to postpone the Closing to November 15, 2005 pursuant to Section 3.11 of the CTF Agreement and Marriott elects instead to terminate the CTF Agreement, but Purchaser is ready, willing and able to close on June 30, 2005, then Marriott will refund the Deposit and all interest thereon to Purchaser and pay Purchaser, Purchaser’s Out of Pocket Costs not to exceed Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000). Failure on the part of Purchaser to notify Marriott on or before July 6, 2005 of its intention to postpone Closing, shall be deemed Purchaser’s election not to postpone Closing and not to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Article 12 hereof. Purchaser being ready, willing and able to close for the purposes of this Section 3.8 shall mean that Purchaser shall have (i) satisfied the condition to Marriott’s obligation to close set forth in Section 9.4(a), (ii) tendered all of Purchaser’s Closing Deliveries, and (iii) shall have funding commitments for the payment of the entire Purchase Price such that Purchaser would have been in a position to pay the entire Purchase Price had the Closing occurred on June 30, 2005 and all conditions under this Agreement to Purchaser’s obligations had been satisfied. As used herein, “Purchaser’s Out of Pocket Costs” means all Purchaser’s third party out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, all travel costs and expenses, all amounts expended by Purchaser for its investigation of the Hotels, including consulting fees and costs and legal fees and costs, all amounts expended by Purchaser, including, but not limited to, legal fees and costs, in the negotiation of this Agreement, the CTF Agreement, the management agreement with Marriott, and the other documents and instruments in connection with this Transaction, and all fees and costs (including costs incurred to lock or cap rates of interest) paid by Purchaser to its lenders and potential lenders, including all amounts expended as liquidated damages to the lenders.

(d) If a Closing occurs after June 17, 2005 with respect to Hotels included in such Closing:

(i) all of the Transactions shall be deemed to be effective as of Marriott’s most recently ended Accounting Period prior to the Closing Date (for such Closing, the “Effective Date”);

(ii) Purchaser shall pay daily interest on the sum of the Preliminary Allocated Price of the Hotels from and including the Effective Date but not including the Closing Date, at a rate equal to the Closing Interest Rate; and

(iii) with respect to the Hotels located in the United States, Marriott shall cause CTF to, or the Purchaser shall, as the case may be, account and pay for the difference between (x) all deposits to CTF’s bank accounts arising from Hotel operations from the close of business on the Effective Date through the Closing Date, and (y) all checks issued, wire transfers and other disbursements from CTF’s bank accounts

-21-

The benefits of lower tax brackets and other similar benefits shall be apportioned in making the

-51-

calculation of such allocated portions on the basis of the number of days in the Purchaser’s and Marriott’s holding periods for the taxable period beginning before and ending after the Effective Date.

Section 8.5 Contests. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Contest” is any audit, court proceeding or other dispute with respect to any tax matter that affects a Hotel. Unless the Purchaser has previously received written notice from Marriott of the existence of such Contest, the Purchaser shall give written notice to Marriott of the existence of any Contest relating to a tax matter that is Marriott’s responsibility under Section 8.2 within ten (10) days from the receipt by the Purchaser of any written notice of such Contest, but no failure to give such notice shall relieve Marriott of any liability hereunder. Unless Marriott has previously received written notice from the Purchaser of the existence of such Contest, Marriott shall give written notice to the Purchaser of the existence of any Contest for which the Purchaser has responsibility within ten (10) days from the receipt by Marriott of any written notice of such Contest. Marriott shall, at its election, have the right to represent a Hotel’s interests in any Contest relating to a Tax matter arising in a period ending on or before the Effective Date, to employ counsel of its choice at its expense and to control the conduct of such Contest, including settlement or other disposition thereof; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall have the right to consult with Marriott regarding any such Contest that may affect such Hotel for any periods ending after the Effective Date at the Purchaser’s own expense and provided, further, that any settlement or other disposition of any such Contest may only be with the consent of the Purchaser, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Section 8.6 Cooperation on Tax Matters. The Purchaser, on the one hand, and Marriott, on the other, agree, in each case at no cost to the other party, to cooperate with the other and the other’s Representatives in a prompt and timely manner in connection with any Contest. Such cooperation shall include, but not be limited to, making available to the other party, during normal business hours, all books, records, Tax Returns, documents, files, other information (including working papers and schedules), officers or employees (without substantial interruption of employment) or other relevant information necessary or useful in connection with any Contest requiring any such books, records and files. The Purchaser, on the one hand, and Marriott, on the other, agree, in each case at no cost to the other party, to cooperate fully in a prompt and timely manner with the other and the other’s Representatives, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to Section 8.1 and in connection with any Contest.

Marriott agrees (i) to retain all books and records with respect to Taxes pertinent to the Hotels relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until 90 days following the expiration of the period of limitations applicable to the related Tax, (ii) to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Tax authority, other than those books and records relating to the Hotels which the Purchaser shall provide to Marriott on or before the Closing Date; and (iii) to give the Purchaser reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any

-52-

such books and records and, if the Purchaser so requests, Marriott shall allow the Purchaser to take possession of such books and records. Marriott and the Purchaser further agree, upon request, to use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any governmental authority as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).

Section 8.7 Price Adjustment. All amounts paid pursuant to this Agreement by one party to another party (other than interest payments) shall be treated by such parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, to the extent appropriate and permitted by law.

Section 8.8 After-Tax Basis.

Section 8.9 Elections. Marriott and its Affiliates shall cooperate fully with the Purchaser, to the extent necessary and to the extent reasonably requested by the Purchaser, in connection with the filing of any elections relating to Taxes which become available to the Purchaser or its Affiliates as a result of the transactions described in this Agreement; provided, however, that Marriott and its Affiliates shall not be obligated to consent to an election if such election would increase the amount of Taxes it is required to pay unless the parties otherwise agree.

Section 8.10 Survival. All obligations under this Article 8 shall survive the Closing hereunder and continue until 90 days following the expiration of the period of limitations applicable to the related Tax. If a Tax claim that is raised by one party during the survival period is disputed by the other party, such claim shall survive the dispute between the parties is resolved.

ARTICLE 9. TITLE COMMITMENT AND SURVEY REVIEW PROCESS; CONDITIONS TO CLOSING.

Section 9.1 Title Commitment and Survey Review Process.

(a) Title Review Process. Purchaser and Marriott have each initiated the title review process consisting of, with respect to the Leased Real Property, the Owned Real Property and the real property owned by any Minority Owned Entity located in the United States (the “Real Properties”), (A) ordering from the Title Company a Uniform Commercial Code financing statement search including a search on any Target and a commitment for owner’s title insurance, on such policy form as is available in the applicable jurisdiction as selected by Purchaser, and (B) ordering from Bock & Clark Corporation National Surveyors Network (“Surveyor”) an ALTA survey with such instructions regarding information to be shown and the scope of certification as Purchaser shall determine. The Uniform Commercial Code financing statement search results and

-53-

the title commitments and surveys obtained by Purchaser, as revised or updated from time to time, are herein referred to as “Title Materials.” Copies of all Title Materials shall be provided to Marriott’s counsel as and when received, which copies shall not be required to be returned. During the period from the date of this Agreement and ending at 11:59 pm May 3, 2005 (the “Objection Period”), Purchaser shall notify Marriott in writing of those matters relating to title disclosed to Purchaser in the Title Materials or otherwise disclosed in materials received by Purchaser at least forty-eight (48) hours prior to 11:59 pm, May 3, 2005 to which Purchaser objects (including, for example, the size or configuration of any Real Properties which are not acceptable to Purchaser), and that are not Permitted Encumbrances set forth in items (b)-(e) of the definition thereof (collectively, the “Purchaser’s Objections”). As to matters relating to title disclosed in the Title Materials or otherwise disclosed in materials received by Purchaser within forty-eight (48) hours prior to 11:59 pm, May 3, 2005, Purchaser shall notify Marriott in writing of its Title Objections within forty-eight (48) hours of its receipt of such materials, but in no event later than 11:59 pm, May 5, 2005. Purchaser shall endeavor to deliver the Purchaser’s Objections in a reasonably expeditious manner and on a property-by-property basis commencing no later than the date hereof and thereafter as soon as reasonably practical after the date Purchaser receives the applicable portion of the Title Materials. Purchaser shall not be deemed to waive its right to make Purchaser’s Objections even if Purchaser’s Objections are not made in a reasonably expeditious manner so long as Purchaser’s Objections are made during the Objection Period. At Closing Purchaser shall reimburse Marriott for all costs and expenses incurred or expended by Marriott to the Title Company and/or Surveyor in connection with obtaining the Title Materials with regard to the Real Properties.

(b) Title Policies. Prior to the expiration of the Objection Period, Purchaser shall obtain from the Title Company, with respect to the Leased Real Property and the Owned Real Property, in all jurisdictions where available, a commitment to insure accompanied by a Pro Forma title policy, in form acceptable to Purchaser (each, a “Pro Forma”). Each Pro Forma shall be written on an ALTA Form B (1970, amended 10/17/70, or if the 1970, amended 10/17/70 form is not available, the 1992 form with no creditors’ rights exclusion (except in States or jurisdictions where such form or deletion is not permitted)) or on such similar form as is available in the applicable jurisdiction, insuring extended owner’s title coverage and shall evidence Title Company commitment, upon compliance with the Title Company’s requirements as set forth in the Title Company’s commitments to insure (the “Requirements”), to insure title to the Real Property that is the subject of any Pro Forma, subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances. The Pro Formas shall be in form and substance acceptable to Purchaser, and shall include all endorsements reasonably required by Purchaser. Purchaser shall deliver all Pro Formas and Requirements (including the form of any affidavits or certifications required to be executed by Marriott or CTF in satisfaction of a Requirement) to Marriott’s counsel no later than the expiration of the Objection Period.

(c) Title Cure Period. Upon the termination of the Objection Period, except for the Purchaser’s Objections if the same are timely raised, the Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted the form and substance of all matters disclosed in the Title

-54-

Materials which shall become Permitted Encumbrances for all purposes under the terms of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. Following the Objection Period, and without any obligation to do so, Marriott shall have until May 16, 2005, or by delivery of written notice to Purchaser by Marriott, until such later date, but not beyond May 23, 2005 (as such date may have been extended, the “Title Cure Period”) to cause CTF to elect to cure or elect not to cure any or all matters raised in Purchaser’s objections; provided, however, CTF agrees to have released by Closing the liens securing any Debt that is not to be assumed by Marriott or Purchaser pursuant to the terms of the CTF Agreement or this Agreement, as applicable. If CTF elects to cure such Title Objections, the cure must be sufficient for the Title Company to remove the applicable Title Objection from the exceptions to title set forth in the applicable Pro Forma.

(d) Termination of Title Cure Period. If, for any reason, CTF is unable or at CTF’s sole election, unwilling to take such actions as may be required to cause the matter identified in Purchaser’s Objections to be cured or removed so as to convey title to the Real Properties consistent with the Pro Formas, or if CTF objects to any Requirement or any other obligation which it may incur in connection with the issuance of the Pro Forma title policies, Marriott shall give Purchaser notice thereof prior to the expiration of the Title Cure Period; it being understood and agreed that the failure of Marriott to timely give such notice shall be deemed an election by CTF not to remedy such matters. If CTF shall elect not (or be deemed to elect not) to remove any matter identified in Purchaser’s Objections, Purchaser may, in the exercise of its sole discretion either: (i) close the Transaction with respect to the Real Properties subject to the Purchaser’s Objections (that CTF will not cure) without abatement of the Unadjusted Purchase Price, in which event: (A) the Purchaser’s Objections that CTF will not cure shall be, and be deemed to be, for all purposes, Permitted Encumbrances; (B) the Purchaser shall close the Transactions notwithstanding the existence of any of the Purchaser’s Objections that CTF will not cure; and (C) neither CTF nor Marriott shall have any obligation or liability whatsoever after the Closing with respect to CTF’s failure to cause any of the Purchaser’s Objections to be eliminated; or (ii) terminate this Agreement by written notice given to Marriott within four (4) calendar days after expiration of the Title Cure Period, in which event this Agreement shall terminate, the Deposit and all interest accrued thereon shall be returned to Purchaser and neither party hereto shall have any further obligations thereunder other than those obligations expressly stated herein to survive the termination of this Agreement. In the event Purchaser elects to proceed to Closing, the Pro Formas shall be revised to (1) delete those Requirements objected to by CTF and (2) add Purchaser’s Objections that CTF will not cure so that the Pro Formas shall be consistent with the quality of title accepted or deemed accepted by the Purchaser pursuant to this Section 9.1(d).

(e) Requirement to Eliminate Purchaser’s Objections; Requirement to Remove Liens’ Additional Title Matters. It is expressly understood that unless CTF expressly agrees, in the exercise of its sole discretion, to cure or remove a matter identified in the Purchaser’s Objections prior to Closing, neither CTF nor Marriott shall be required to bring any action, institute any proceeding, or otherwise incur any costs or expenses in order to attempt to eliminate any of the Purchaser’s Objections or to

-55-

otherwise cause title to the Real Properties to comport with the terms of this Agreement on the Closing Date; provided, however, that Marriott shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause CTF to remove (i) any liens that are filed against the Real Properties during the period after the expiration of the Title Cure Period and before Closing but only if they are recorded by CTF or caused by CTF’s actions or failure to act; and (ii) any liens securing Debt not assumed by the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement or under the terms of the CTF Agreement. Should matters relative to title, other than liens CTF is obligated to remove pursuant to the preceding sentence, be discovered from any update of the Title Materials received by Purchaser or otherwise after the expiration of the Objection Period that were not disclosed in the Title Materials received by the Purchaser prior to the expiration of the Objection Period (collectively, the “New Title Matters”), the Purchaser shall have the right to notify Marriott in writing of any new Title Matters which are not Permitted Encumbrances set forth in items (b)-(e) of the definition thereof to which the Purchaser objects provided that Purchaser notifies Marriott in writing of its objection within twenty-four (24) hours after such matter is disclosed to Purchaser. Marriott shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause CTF to remove any New Title Matters that are filed against any of the Real Properties during the period after the expiration of the Title Cure Period and before Closing but only if they are recorded by CTF or caused by CTF’s actions or failure to act. With respect to all other new Title Matters, Marriott shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause CTF within five (5) days after receipt of notice of the New Title Matters, to advise Marriott whether CTF will cure such New Title Matters prior to the Closing Date and Marriott will promptly notify Purchaser of CTF’s response. Should CTF fail to cure or remove prior to the Closing Date any New Title Matter which is objected to by Purchaser, and should such New Title Matter materially and adversely impair the value or use of any of the Real Properties to which such objection relates, such failure shall constitute a failure of a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to proceed to Closing with respect to the Real Properties affected by such New Title Matters, and Purchaser may, at its election, determine not to close with respect to such Real Properties. All other New Title Matters which are not cured or removed by CTF shall be deemed waived by the Purchaser and shall constitute Permitted Encumbrances for all purposes under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. If the Purchaser elects not to close with respect to any Real Properties in accordance with Section 9.1(e), in such case, the Unadjusted Purchase Price shall be decreased by the Preliminary Allocated Price applicable to any such Real Properties.

(f) Related Fees, Cost and Expenses. All the fees, costs and expenses associated with the Purchaser’s procurement, preparation, delivery and review of the Title Materials, the issuance of title policies and any endorsements related thereto shall be for the account of the Purchaser pursuant to Section 13.1 herein.

(g) Marriott Assurance. Marriott covenants and agrees to cooperate with the Purchaser in connection with the Title Materials and the title review process and will cause CTF to provide such affidavits or other documents and information as Purchaser may reasonably require in order to obtain affirmative endorsements or other assurances available under local practice as the Purchaser may require, including non-imputation

-56-

endorsements, where applicable, provided, however, that (i) all of the foregoing requirements are commercially reasonable, (ii) Marriott shall not be obligated to cause CTF to provide any affidavit, certification or indemnification to the Title Company that causes CTF to incur any liability in excess of CTF’s liability under the CTF Agreement, and (iii) Marriott shall not be obligated to cause CTF to provide any affidavit, certification or indemnification with respect to the Minority Owned Entities.

(h) Form of Fee Sale Transfer and Conveyance Documents. Seven (7) days prior to the expiration of the Objection Period, Purchaser shall forward to Marriott the proposed form of the deeds, bills of sale, assignments, certificates, affidavits and such other instruments and documents (excluding any documents previously provided in connection with the Requirements) (collectively, “Proposed Conveyance Documents”) as may be reasonably necessary in order to consummate the Transactions and facilitate the issuance by the Title Company of the title insurance policies reasonably requested by Purchaser and facilitate the obtaining of other commercially reasonable assurances available under local practice. Marriott and Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith to agree upon the final form of the Proposed Conveyance Documents on or prior to the Closing Date. Purchaser and Marriott acknowledge and agree that the warranty of title set forth in the various deeds and other conveyancing documents shall be in accordance with the commercially reasonable customary practices of the applicable jurisdictions but in all cases sufficient to enable the Title Company to issue the title policies in the forms of the Pro Formas. The warranties of title contained in the various deeds shall not be subject to the provision of Section 10.8(b) of this Agreement. Nothing herein shall be construed as requiring Marriott to cause CTF to make any representations, warranties or covenants in the Proposed Conveyance Documents other than those contained in Article 5 and Article 7 of the CTF Agreement.

Section 9.2 Lack of Consents or Estoppels for Certain Leasehold Interests.

(a) Matters concerning the consents for the Transfer of the interests in the Minority Owned Entities are addressed in Schedule 9.2(d).

(b) If any Estoppel Certificate satisfying the requirements of Section 7.9(d) is not obtained prior to the Closing Date or if obtained, contains information which is inconsistent with Marriott’s representations and warranties set forth herein in Article 5 and 5A, then Purchaser shall elect to either: (i) proceed with Closing with respect to the applicable Hotel or Hotels and waive any right to require the receipt of an Estoppel Certificate and the right to make a claim for indemnification under Article 10 based upon the facts or circumstances disclosed by the applicable Estoppel Certificate, or (ii) elect not to proceed with Closing with respect to the applicable Hotel or Hotels (in which case the Unadjusted Purchase Price shall be decreased by the Preliminary Allocated Price for such Hotel or Hotels) in order to permit Marriott a period of time during which to attempt to obtain an Estoppel Certificate in the form required hereby. In the event that Purchaser elects under clause (ii) above to permit Marriott additional time to obtain an Estoppel Certificate and Marriott fails to deliver an Estoppel Certificate satisfying the requirements of Section 7.9(e) to Purchaser prior to December 31, 2005, then Purchaser

-57-

shall either (A) elect not to proceed to Closing with respect to the applicable Hotel or Hotels or (B) shall proceed to consummate the Transaction with respect to the applicable Hotel and shall retain any rights it may have under the indemnification provisions of Article 10.

Section 9.3 General Conditions. The respective obligations of the Purchaser and Marriott to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be subject to the fulfillment, at or prior to the Closing, of each of the following conditions, any of which may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be waived in writing by either party in its sole discretion (provided, that such waiver shall only be effective as to the obligations of such party):

provided, however, if Purchaser determines not to proceed to Closing with respect to such Hotel, Purchaser’s sole remedy in event of such event or breach shall be that: (1) Marriott shall not cause CTF to assign, transfer, convey or deliver such Hotel Interest affected by such event or breach to the Purchaser at the Closing, and (2) the Unadjusted Purchase Price shall be reduced by the Preliminary Allocated Price for such Hotel Interest.

(b) Marriott shall have performed in all material respects all obligations and agreements and complied in all material respects with all covenants and conditions required by this Agreement to be performed or complied with by it prior to or at the Closing and the Purchaser shall have received from Marriott a certificate to such effect, signed by a duly authorized officer thereof.

ARTICLE 10. INDEMNIFICATION.

Section 10.1 Pass-Through Representations.

(a) The representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.1 through 4.17 hereof are substantially identical to those certain representations and warranties made by CTF to Marriott in Sections 5.1 through 5.17 of the CTF Agreement (the “Pass Through Representations”). Purchaser acknowledges that Marriott may have no direct or actual knowledge of the facts contained in certain of the Pass Through Representations and that except as set forth in Section 5.18A, Marriott is relying exclusively on the correctness of the Pass Through Representations of CTF in making the Pass Through Representations to Purchaser. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Marriott’s liability to Purchaser for any Breach of the Pass Through Representations shall be limited to the actual monetary damages or other relief received by Marriott based on the breach of the Pass Through Representations by CTF. Except as set forth in this Section 10.1(a)-10.1(b), Marriott shall have no liability or obligation to Purchaser for any Breach by Marriott of the Pass Through Representations.

(b) Upon the occurrence of a Breach of the Pass Through Representations and upon Purchaser making a claim against Marriott, Marriott shall exercise any and all rights and remedies available to Marriott under the CTF Agreement or at law or in equity (i) to bring against CTF a claim for indemnification and institute litigation to enforce such claim to the same extent as made by Purchaser against Marriott (but only to, and in the manner permitted by the CTF Agreement and subject to the limitations of Article 10 of the CTF Agreement, which for the avoidance of doubt, exempts Tax matters from any such limitations imposed by Article 10 of the CTF Agreement) (a “Mirror Claim”); and (ii) to seek as damages in the Mirror Claim, all Losses of the Purchaser arising from the Mirror Claim (but only to in the manner permitted by this Agreement and subject to the limitations of Article 10 as aforesaid). In taking any action against CTF, Purchaser shall have the right to select counsel and to manage any and all claims, actions, causes of action and/or litigation which Marriott may pursue in order to enforce its rights hereunder. Marriott shall cooperate fully with Purchaser in Purchaser’s efforts to enforce its right based on a Breach of the Pass Through Representations. Purchaser shall be responsible for, and shall pay all of Purchaser’s reasonable expenses which Purchaser may suffer, incur or expend in its efforts to enforce its rights against CTF, including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees, fees of experts, and court costs and may include such costs as a part of its claim for damages.

Section 10.2 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Indemnities. The representations, warranties and covenants of Marriott and the Purchaser contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing until April 30, 2007, provided, however, that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 5.2, 5.3(a)-(e), 7.4 and 7.11 shall survive indefinitely. Survival of the representations and warranties in Sections 5.16 and 5.16A shall be governed by the provisions of Section 8.9.

-60-

Section 10.3 Indemnification by Marriott. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article 10, Marriott shall save, defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser (including the Targets and their Subsidiaries) and the respective Representatives, successors and assigns of each of the foregoing (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, claims, interest, awards, judgments, penalties, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in investigating, preparing or defending the foregoing) (hereinafter collectively, “Losses”), incurred, sustained or suffered by any of the foregoing to the extent arising out of or resulting from:

(a) any breach of any material representation or warranty made by Marriott contained in this Agreement other than the Pass Through Representations set forth in Section 5 of this Agreement;

(b) any breach of any material covenant or agreement by Marriott (hereinafter the “Marriott Covenants”) contained in this Agreement other than a covenant by Marriott to cause CTF to perform in any stated manner;

(c) any Third Party Claim that arises from an event that occurs prior to Closing regarding any Interest Holder other than (i) a liability reflected on the Balance Sheet of such Target to the extent of the amount so reflected, or (ii) any Assumed Liability and any other liability expressly assumed by Purchaser under this Agreement to the extent of the amount so assumed;

(d) any liability for any brokers’ or investment banking fees of Marriott or its Affiliates in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; and

(e) Marriott’s actions or failure to take actions where required, all obligations, penalties, liabilities and expenses under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988, as amended, or other similar state laws, arising from the Transactions,

Section 10.4 Indemnification by the Purchaser. The Purchaser shall save, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Marriott and its Affiliates and the respective Representatives, successors and assigns of each of the foregoing (collectively, the “Marriott Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses incurred, sustained or suffered by any of the foregoing to the extent arising out of or resulting from:

(a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Purchaser contained in this Agreement;

-61-

(b) any breach of any covenant or agreement by the Purchaser contained in this Agreement;

(c) any Third Party Claim which arises from an event that occurs after the Closing against any Marriott Indemnified Party with respect to the operations or ownership of the Hotels or Hotel Interests except to the extent that such claim was caused by a breach of Marriott’s obligations and duties as manager under the Hotel Management Agreements or with respect to which Marriott is otherwise responsible pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Hotel Management Agreements (in which event the terms and conditions of the Hotel Management Agreements shall govern);

(d) any Assumed Liabilities;

(e) any claim for any brokers’ or investment banking fees of the Purchaser in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; and

(f) arising other than from CTF’s actions or failure to take actions where required, all obligations, penalties, liabilities and expenses under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988, as amended, or other similar laws arising from the Transactions.

Section 10.5 Procedures.

(a) In order for a Purchaser Indemnified Party or Marriott Indemnified Party (the “Indemnified Party”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of, arising out of or involving a Loss or a claim or demand made by any Person other than Marriott and its Affiliates and the Purchaser against the Indemnified Party, including a Mirror Claim (a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall deliver notice thereof to the party against whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after receipt by such Indemnified Party of written notice of the Third Party Claim, but in no event later than the Claims Deadline, describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to any claim for indemnification hereunder, the amount or method of computation of the amount of such claim (if known) and such other information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. The failure to provide as part of the initial written notice of claim, the information set forth in the preceding sentence shall not invalidate the effectiveness of the written notice provided the information is delivered in a reasonable time period thereafter. The failure to provide such notice, however, shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article 10 except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of the commencement of such Third Party Claim except as may be provided to the contrary as to a Mirror Claim in which case Purchaser shall bear all of the costs associated therewith, to assume the defense thereof at the expense of the Indemnifying

-62-

Party with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, or offer to compromise, settle or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent unless the Indemnifying Party withdraws from the defense of such Third Party Claim or unless a final judgment from which no appeal may be taken by or on behalf of the Indemnifying Party is entered against the Indemnified Party for such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any such claims or proceeding pursuant to this Section 10.5 and the Indemnified Party proposes to settle such claims or proceeding prior to a final judgment thereon or to forgo any appeal with respect thereto, then the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in the settlement or assume or reassume the defense of such claims or proceeding. The Indemnifying Party and its counsel shall conduct such defense or settlement in a manner reasonably satisfactory and effective to protect the Indemnified Party fully. The Indemnifying Party and its counsel shall keep the Indemnified Party fully advised as to its conduct of such defense or settlement, and shall not compromise or settle such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless such settlement or compromise does not subject the Indemnified Party to any monetary liability, includes a complete, unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect to such Third Party Claim, and does not constitute an acknowledgement or acceptance by the Indemnified Party of fault, culpability, or responsibility of any kind. Notwithstanding the Indemnifying Party’s election to defend against or settle the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, upon written notice to the Indemnifying Party, elect to employ its own counsel and assume control of such defense or settlement if (A) the Indemnifying Party is also a Person against whom the Third Party Claim is made and the Indemnified Person determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate; (B) the Indemnified Party determines in good faith that the Indemnified Party may have available to its one or more defenses or counterclaims that are inconsistent with, different from, or in addition to one or more of those that may be available to the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Third Party Claim; (C) the Indemnifying Party fails to provide reasonable assurance to the Indemnified Party of its financial capacity to defend such Third Party Action; (D) the Indemnifying Party shall not in fact have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party for the defense or settlement of such Third Party Action; provided, however, that the assumption of control of the defense or settlement of a Third Party Action by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this sentence shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligation to indemnify and hold the Indemnified Party harmless.

-63-

(c) In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim against any Indemnifying Party hereunder that does not involve a Third Party Claim being asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall deliver notice of such claim to the Indemnifying Party no later than the Claims Deadline, describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to any claim for indemnification hereunder, the amount or method of computation of the amount of such claim (if known) and such other information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. The failure to provide as part of the initial written notice of claim, the information set forth in the preceding sentence shall not invalidate the effectiveness of the written notice provided the information is provided in a reasonable time period thereafter. The failure to provide such notice, however, shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article 10 except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of any claim pursuant to this Section 10.5(c) to (i) agree to the amount or method of determination set forth in such claim and to pay such amount to such Indemnified Party or (ii) provide the Indemnified Party with notice (a “Dispute Notice”) that it disagrees with the amount or method of determination set forth in such claim. If the Indemnifying Party has timely delivered a Dispute Notice, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall, during a period 30 days from the Indemnified Party’s receipt of such Dispute Notice, negotiate to achieve resolution of such dispute and, if not resolved through negotiations, such dispute shall be resolved as provided in Section 12.9.

Section 10.6 Limits on Indemnification.

(a) No claim may be asserted against any party for breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement unless written notice of such claim is received by such party describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim on or prior to May 30, 2007 (the “Claim Deadline”) in which case such representation, warranty or covenant shall survive as to such claim until such claim has been finally resolved. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no Claims Deadline applicable to a claim raised with respect to a breach of Sections 5.2, 5.3(a)-(e), 7.4 and 7.11 hereof. In addition, no claim may be asserted against Marriott for breach of any of CTF’s or Marriott’s representations or warranties to the extent that the Title Materials contain information that is inconsistent with such representations or warranties.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement with respect to each Fee Property, Target, Leasehold Interest in a Minority Owned Entity: (i) Marriott shall not be liable for any claim for indemnification of $5,000 or less pursuant to Sections 10.1(a), 10.1(b), or 10.3 resulting from any single claim or aggregated claims arising out of the same facts, events or circumstances (the “De Minimus Amount”, (ii) Marriott shall not be liable unless and until the aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from Marriott on account of all claims

-64-

equals or exceeds $50,000 (the “Threshold Amount”), at which time Marriott shall be liable for all such Losses, (iii) the maximum aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered by Purchaser Indemnified Parties arising out of or relating to the causes set forth in Sections 10.3(a), 10.3(b) or 10.3(c) in relation to any single Fee Property, Target, Leasehold Interest or in a Minority Owned Entity shall equal fifty percent (50%) of the Preliminary Allocated Price in respect of such Fee Property, Target, Leasehold Interest or in such a Minority Owned Entity, as the case may be (the “Indemnification Limit”); and (iv) no party hereto shall have any liability under any provision of this Agreement for any punitive, consequential, incidental, special or indirect damages relating to the breach or alleged breach of this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnification Limit applicable to Losses related to a breach of a representation, warranty or covenant under Sections 5.2 and 5.3(a)-(e) shall be the Preliminary Allocated Price of each Target.

(c) For all purposes of this Article 10, “Losses” shall be net of (i) any insurance (other than any self-insured retention program) or other recoveries paid (subject to Section 10.8 by a third party to the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates in connection with the facts, events or circumstances giving rise to the right of indemnification and (ii) any net Tax benefit available to such Indemnified Party or its Affiliates arising in connection with the accrual, incurrence or payment of any such Losses (including the net present value of any Tax benefit arising in subsequent taxable years).

(d) The Purchaser and Marriott shall cooperate with each other with respect to resolving any Third Party claim with respect to which one party is obligated to indemnify the other party hereunder, including by making Commercially Reasonably Efforts to mitigate such claim. In the event that the Purchaser or Marriott shall fail to make such Commercially Reasonably Efforts to mitigate or resolve any claim or liability, then notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained herein, the other party shall not be required to indemnify any person to the extent of any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense that could reasonably be expected to have been avoided if the Purchaser or Marriott, as the case may be, had made such efforts.

(e) For purposes of this Article 10, “Losses” shall be determined in all cases without regard to any qualification or limitation with respect to “materiality” whether by reference to “in any material respect” or any other use of “material.”

Section 10.7 Tax Matters. Anything in this Article 10 to the contrary notwithstanding, the rights and obligations of the parties with respect to indemnification for any and all Tax matters shall be governed by Article 8.

Section 10.8 Assignment of Claims. If any Purchaser Indemnified Party receives any payment from Marriott in respect of any Losses pursuant to Section 10.3 and the Purchaser Indemnified Party could have recovered all or a part of such Losses from a third party (a “Potential Contributor”) based on the underlying claim asserted against Marriott, the Purchaser Indemnified Party shall assign, on a non-recourse basis and without any representation or warranty, such of its rights to proceed against the Potential

-65-

Contributor as are necessary to permit Marriott to recover from the Potential Contributor the amount of such payment. Any payment received in respect of such claim shall be distributed, (i) first to the Purchaser Indemnified Party in the amount of any deductible or similar amount required to be paid by the Purchaser Indemnified Party prior to Marriott being required to make any payment to the Purchaser Indemnified Party, (ii) second to Marriott in an amount equal to the aggregate payments made by Marriott to the Purchaser Indemnified Party in respect of such claim, plus costs and expenses incurred in investigating, defending or otherwise incurred in connection with addressing such claim and (iii) the balance, if any, to the Purchaser Indemnified Party.

Section 10.9 Disclaimer of Implied Warranties.

(a) It is the explicit intent and understanding of each party hereto that neither party hereto nor its Representatives is making any representation or warranty whatsoever, oral or written, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of any information regarding the Property, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, and neither party hereto is relying on any statement, representation or warranty, oral or written, express or implied, made by the other party hereto or such other party’s Representatives, except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Agreement.

The Purchaser acknowledges that, except as may be expressly set forth in this Agreement and the conveyance documents contemplated hereunder and under the CTF Agreement, Marriott has not, does not, and will not make any representations, warranties or guaranties, of any kind, oral or written, express or implied, concerning the Property including, without limitation (i) the quality, adequacy, state of repair or physical condition of the Property, (ii) the habitability, merchantability or fitness, suitability or adequacy of the Property or any portion thereof for any particular use or purpose, (iii) the zoning or other legal status of the Property, (iv) the compliance by the Property, or any portion thereof, with any applicable codes, laws, regulations, statutes, ordinances, covenants, conditions or restrictions of any governmental or quasi-governmental entity or of any Person, or (v) the environmental condition of the Property, including its compliance with environmental laws and the presence or non-presence of hazardous substances.

Section 11.1 Purchaser’s Default. Should Purchaser default under this Agreement prior to Closing, Marriott shall be entitled (i) to retain the Deposit, and (ii) to collect the sum of $5 million from Purchaser (which shall become due and payable upon such default), collectively as liquidated damages and terminate this Agreement (and the retention of the Deposit and such $5 million shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Marriott for such default) in which event Purchaser shall have no rights under this Agreement or the CTF Agreement, and Marriott shall have the right, but not the obligation, to close under the CTF Agreement. Following Closing, in the event the Deposit is retained by the Title Company pursuant to the provisions of Schedule 9.2(d)), the provisions of subsection (ii) above shall have no further force or effect.

(c) If Marriott’s default hereunder results from a default by CTF under the CTF Agreement, Marriott shall determine which if any remedy it wishes to pursue against CTF and shall provide to Purchaser notice of such determination.

-67-

particular Hotel, in which event the damages awarded and paid shall belong to the party taking title to such Hotel. If Purchaser elects not to participate in any such action, this Agreement shall terminate and neither party shall have any further liability or obligation to the other under this Agreement. In any event, all decisions as to the pursuit of remedies and the prosecution of any litigation shall be made solely by Marriott.

(d) If Marriott defaults under this Agreement, and such default shall not have resulted from a default by CTF under the CTF Agreement, and if thereafter Marriott either acquires the Hotels under the CTF Agreement or otherwise transfers its right to acquire the Hotels under the CTF Agreement to a third party, Purchaser shall have the right to specific performance as to this Agreement; provided, however, Purchaser must (i) institute such action for Specific Performance against Marriott within three (3) months from the first date on which Purchaser first learns or discovers that Marriott has so acquired the Hotels under the CTF Agreement or so transferred its rights under the CTF Agreement and (ii) as a closing condition to the Purchaser of such Hotels, repay to Marriott any sums previously paid by Marriott to Purchaser for out-of-pocket expenses as provided in Sections 11.2(a) and 11.2(b) hereof less however Purchaser’s costs in pursuing such action for specific performance against Marriott.

Section 1.2 Amendments to Section 10.8(a).

(a) Section 10.8(a) of the LLC Agreement is deleted in its entirely and replaced with the following:
