     NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that, effective upon the unpairing, each option that is outstanding immediately prior to the unpairing (a “pre-conversion option”) pursuant to the Company LTIPs and the 1995 Trust LTIP shall be converted into an option to acquire only shares of Company common stock (a “converted option”), with the number of shares of Company common stock subject to a converted option equal to the number of shares of Company common stock subject to the pre-conversion option multiplied by the following fraction:
Pre-unpairing price of a unit consisting of one Class B share of beneficial interest of Starwood Hotels & Resorts and one share of Company common stock
Post-unpairing price of one share of Company common stock
     The exercise price of a converted option will be adjusted to equal the exercise price of the pre-conversion option multiplied by the following fraction:

Pre-unpairing price of a unit consisting of one Class B share of beneficial interest of Starwood Hotels & Resorts and one share of Company common stock

     FURTHER RESOLVED, that, effective upon the unpairing, the number of shares in the “General Award Pool” and the “Directors’ Fee Pool” as provided in Section 4.1 of the 2004 LTIP shall be adjusted by multiplying each such number by the following fraction:
Pre-unpairing price of a unit consisting of one Class B share of beneficial interest of Starwood Hotels & Resorts and one share of Company common stock

     FURTHER RESOLVED, that, for purposes of this Action, the term “pre-unpairing price” shall mean the closing price for a unit as reported by the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) for the date on which the unpairing occurs, or if units are not traded on the NYSE on such date, the first date preceding the unpairing on which units are traded on the NYSE; and the term “post-unpairing price” shall mean the opening price for a share as reported by the NYSE for the first date on which Company common stock is traded on the NYSE following the date on which the unpairing occurs;
