Section 5.01 Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness. For purposes of the 3.750% Notes, Section 4.7 of the Indenture is hereby replaced and superseded by the following covenant and the following covenant shall apply to the 3.750% Notes:

(a) Aggregate Debt Test. The Company will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Subsidiaries to, incur any Indebtedness, including, without limitation, Acquired Indebtedness, if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of that Indebtedness and the application of the proceeds therefrom on a pro forma basis, the aggregate principal amount of all of the Company’s outstanding Indebtedness and all of the outstanding Indebtedness of its Subsidiaries, determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP, is greater than 65% of the sum of, without duplication:

(1) the Total Assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the last day of the then most recently ended fiscal quarter; and

(2) the aggregate purchase price of any real estate assets or mortgages receivable acquired, and the aggregate amount of any securities offering proceeds received, to the extent the proceeds were not used to acquire real estate assets or mortgages receivable or used to reduce Indebtedness, by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries since the end of that fiscal quarter, including the proceeds obtained from the incurrence of that additional Indebtedness, determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP.

(b) Debt Service Test. The Company will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Subsidiaries to, incur any Indebtedness, including, without limitation, Acquired Indebtedness, if the ratio of Consolidated EBITDA to the Interest Expense for the period consisting of the four consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended prior to the date on which the additional Indebtedness is to be incurred shall have been less than 1.5:1 on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the incurrence of that Indebtedness and the application of the proceeds therefrom (determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP), and calculated on the assumption that:

(1) the Indebtedness and any other Indebtedness, including, without limitation, Acquired Indebtedness, incurred by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries since the first day of the relevant four-quarter period had been incurred, and the application of the proceeds therefrom, including to repay or retire other Indebtedness, had occurred, on the first day of the period;

(2) the repayment or retirement of any of the Company’s other Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness repaid or retired with the proceeds of any other Indebtedness, which repayment or retirement shall be calculated pursuant to clause (1) of

this Section 5.01(b)) or any other Indebtedness of the Company’s Subsidiaries since the first day of the relevant four-quarter period had occurred on the first day of the period; and

(3) in the case of any acquisition or disposition by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of any asset or group of assets, in any such case with a fair market value in excess of $1 million, since the first day of the relevant four-quarter period, whether by merger, stock purchase or sale or asset purchase or sale or otherwise, that acquisition or disposition had occurred as of the first day of the period with the appropriate adjustments with respect to the acquisition or disposition being included in the pro forma calculation.

If the Indebtedness giving rise to the need to make the calculation set forth in this Section 5.01(b) or any other Indebtedness incurred after the first day of the relevant four-quarter period bears interest at a floating rate then, for purposes of calculating the Interest Expense, the interest rate on that Indebtedness shall be computed on a pro forma basis as if the average rate which would have been in effect during the entire relevant four-quarter period had been the applicable rate for the entire period

(c) Secured Debt Test. The Company will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Subsidiaries to, incur Secured Indebtedness, if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of the Secured Indebtedness and the application of the proceeds from the Secured Indebtedness on a pro forma basis, the aggregate principal amount, determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP, of all of the Company’s outstanding Secured Indebtedness and all outstanding Secured Indebtedness of its Subsidiaries is greater than 40% of the sum of, without duplication:

(1) the Total Assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the last day of the then most recently ended fiscal quarter; and

(2) the aggregate purchase price of any real estate assets or mortgages receivable acquired, and the aggregate amount of any securities offering proceeds received, to the extent those proceeds were not used to acquire real estate assets or mortgages receivable or used to reduce Indebtedness, by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries since the end of the relevant fiscal quarter, including the proceeds obtained from the incurrence of that additional Indebtedness, determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP.

(d) Maintenance of Total Unencumbered Assets. The Company will have at all times Total Unencumbered Assets of not less than 150% of the aggregate principal amount of all of its outstanding Unsecured Indebtedness and the outstanding Unsecured Indebtedness of the Company’s Subsidiaries, determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP.

The calculation of the ratios set forth in this Section 5.01 shall be undertaken by the Company.

Section 5.02 Limitation on Liens. For purposes of the 3.750% Notes, Section 4.8 of the Indenture is hereby replaced and superseded by the following covenant and the following covenant shall apply to the 3.750% Notes:

Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall secure any Indebtedness under the Credit Facility or the Existing Senior Notes by a Lien or suffer to exist any Lien on their respective properties or assets securing Indebtedness under the Credit Facility or the Existing Senior Notes unless effective provision is made to secure the 3.750% Notes equally and ratably with the Lien securing such Indebtedness for so long as Indebtedness under the Credit Facility or Existing Senior Notes is secured by such Lien.

Section 5.03 Events of Default. For purposes of the 3.750% Notes, Sections 6.1(c) and (d) of the Indenture are hereby replaced and superseded by the following clauses solely with respect to the 3.750% Notes:

“(c) the failure by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor to observe or perform any other covenant or agreement contained in the 3.750% Notes or the Indenture with respect to the 3.750% Notes and the continuance of such failure for a period of 60 days after written notice is given to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the 3.750% Notes outstanding;”

“(d) a default in (a) Secured Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with an aggregate principal amount in excess of 5% of Total Assets, or (b) other Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with an aggregate principal amount in excess of $150 million, in either case, (A) resulting from the failure to pay principal or interest when due (after giving effect to any applicable extensions or grace or cure periods) or (B) as a result of which the maturity of such Indebtedness has been accelerated prior to its final Stated Maturity;”

and Sections 6.1(e) and 6.1(h) are deleted in their entirety and replaced with “Reserved.”

Upon receipt of a request for such an exchange or registration of transfer, the Trustee shall cancel the applicable Certificated Note and increase or cause to be increased the aggregate principal amount of one of the Global Notes. If any such exchange or registration of transfer from a Certificated Note to a beneficial interest in a Global Note is effected pursuant to this Section 6.01(d) at a time when a Global Note has not yet been issued, the Company shall issue and, upon receipt of a Company Order in accordance with Section 2.3 of the Indenture, the Trustee shall authenticate one or more Global Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of Certificated Notes so transferred.

(e) Transfer and Exchange of Certificated Notes for Certificated Notes.

THIS GLOBAL NOTE IS HELD BY THE DEPOSITORY (AS DEFINED IN THE INDENTURE GOVERNING THIS NOTE) OR ITS NOMINEE IN CUSTODY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS HEREOF, AND IS NOT TRANSFERABLE TO ANY PERSON UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES EXCEPT THAT (1) THE TRUSTEE MAY MAKE SUCH NOTATIONS HEREON AS MAY BE REQUIRED PURSUANT TO SECTION 6.01 OF THE FORTY-FOURTH SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE, (2) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE EXCHANGED IN WHOLE BUT NOT IN PART PURSUANT TO SECTION 6.01 OF THE FORTY-FOURTH SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE, (3) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE DELIVERED TO THE TRUSTEE FOR CANCELLATION PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.12 OF THE INDENTURE AND (4) THIS GLOBAL NOTE MAY BE TRANSFERRED TO A SUCCESSOR DEPOSITORY WITH THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE COMPANY.

1.	Interest.

Host Hotels & Resorts, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (hereinafter called the “Company,” which term includes any successors under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at the rate of 3.750% per annum from March 28, 2013 until maturity. To the extent it is lawful, the Company promises to pay interest on any interest payment due but unpaid on such principal amount at a rate of 3.750% per annum compounded semi-annually.

²	To be included only on Global Notes deposited with DTC as Depository.

A-4

The Company will pay interest semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing October 15, 2013. Interest on the 3.750% Securities will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid on the Securities, from the date of the original issuance. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

2.	Method of Payment.

The Company shall pay interest on the 3.750% Securities (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are the registered Holders at the close of business on the Record Date immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date. Holders must surrender Securities to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the 3.750% Securities will be payable in United States Dollars at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose, in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York or at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders of the 3.750% Securities at the addresses set forth upon the registry books of the Company; provided, however, Holders of Global Securities will be entitled to receive interest payments (other than at maturity) by wire transfer of immediately available funds, if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received in writing by the Trustee not fewer than 15 days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date. Such wire instructions, upon receipt by the Trustee, shall remain in effect until revoked by such Holder. No service charge will be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

3.	Paying Agent and Registrar.

Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar without notice to the Holders. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may, subject to certain exceptions, act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar.

4.	Indenture.

The Company issued the 3.750% Securities under an Amended and Restated Indenture, dated as of August 5, 1998, as supplemented (the “Indenture”), between the Company, certain Subsidiaries of the Company and the Trustee. Capitalized terms herein are used as defined in the Indenture unless otherwise defined herein. The 3.750% Securities are unlimited in aggregate principal amount. The terms of the 3.750% Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as in effect on the date of the Indenture. The 3.750% Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders of the 3.750% Securities are referred to the Indenture and said Act for a statement of them. The Securities are senior, general obligations of the Company. Each Holder of this Security, by accepting the same, (a)

A-5

agrees to and shall be bound by the provisions of the Indenture, (b) authorizes and directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be provided in the Indenture and (c) appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for such purpose.

5.	Redemption.

Prior to 90 days before their Stated Maturity, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, the Company may redeem the 3.750% Securities in whole or in part at any time at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the Make-Whole Premium, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but not including, the applicable Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date that is on or prior to the applicable Redemption Date). Notice of a redemption of the 3.750% Securities made pursuant to this paragraph 5 shall be given in the manner set forth in Section 3.3 of the Indenture; provided however, that any such notice need not set forth the Redemption Price but need only set forth the calculation thereof as described in the immediately preceding sentence of this paragraph 5. The Redemption Price, calculated as aforesaid, shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered by the Company to the Trustee no later than one Business Day prior to the Redemption Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, within the period beginning on or after 90 days prior to their Stated Maturity, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, the Company may redeem the 3.750% Securities in whole or in part, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but not including, the applicable Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date that is on or prior to the applicable Redemption Date).

The Company is not prohibited from acquiring the 3.750% Securities by means other than a redemption, whether pursuant to an issuer tender offer, in open market transactions, or otherwise, assuming such acquisition does not otherwise violate the terms of the Indenture.

The 3.750% Securities will not have the benefit of a sinking fund.

6.	Denominations; Transfer; Exchange.

The 3.750% Securities are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. A Holder may register the transfer of, or exchange 3.750% Securities in accordance with, the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any 3.750% Securities (a) selected for redemption except the unredeemed portion of any 3.750% Security being redeemed in part or (b) for a period beginning 15 Business Days before the mailing of a notice of an offer to repurchase or redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing.

A-6

7.	Persons Deemed Owners.

The registered Holder of a 3.750% Security may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.

8.	Unclaimed Money.

If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee and the Paying Agent(s) will pay the money back to the Company at its written request. After that, all liability of the Trustee and such Paying Agent(s) with respect to such money shall cease.

9.	Discharge Prior to Redemption or Maturity.

Except as set forth in the Indenture, if the Company irrevocably deposits with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, U.S. legal tender, U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such 3.750% Securities on the stated date for payment thereof or on the redemption date of such principal or installment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on such 3.750% Securities, the Company will be discharged from certain provisions of the Indenture and the 3.750% Securities (including the restrictive covenants described in paragraph 11 below, but excluding its obligation to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the 3.750% Securities). Upon satisfaction of certain additional conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Company may elect to have its obligations and the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors, if applicable, discharged with respect to outstanding 3.750% Securities.

10.

Amendment; Supplement; Waiver.

The Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee may enter into a supplemental indenture for certain limited purposes without the consent of the Holders. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the 3.750% Securities may be amended or supplemented with the written consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the 3.750% Securities then outstanding, and any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the 3.750% Securities then outstanding. Without notice to or consent of any Holder, the parties thereto may under certain circumstances amend or supplement the Indenture or the 3.750% Securities to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, or make any other change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder of a 3.750% Security.

11.

Restrictive Covenants.

The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Company and any Subsidiary to, among other things, incur additional Indebtedness, incur Liens and sell assets and subsidiary stock, merge or consolidate with any other Person or transfer (by lease, assignment or otherwise) substantially all of the properties and assets of the

Company. The limitations are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions. The Company must periodically report to the Trustee on compliance with such limitations.

Such Guarantees shall cease to apply, and shall be null and void, with respect to any such guarantor who, pursuant to Article 12 of the Indenture, is released from its Guarantees, or whose Guarantees otherwise cease to be applicable pursuant to the terms of the Indenture.

Successor.

When a successor assumes all the obligations of its predecessor under the 3.750% Securities and the Indenture, the predecessor will be released from those obligations.
