WHEREAS, in connection with the Spinoff, MII and MVWC have agreed that MII or its Affiliates shall provide MVWC and its Affiliates with certain services on a temporary basis after the Closing; and

WHEREAS, capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Separation Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and covenants set forth herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, MII and MVWC agree as follows:

1. Transition Services. For a period commencing on the Closing Date and continuing until the second anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Transition Period”)(unless a different period is specified for a particular service on the applicable exhibit attached hereto (each, a “Services Exhibit”), MII shall provide, or cause its Affiliates to provide, to MVWC and its Affiliates the services described in the Services Exhibits hereto (the “Transition Services”). Such services shall be provided at the charges described in the Services Exhibits and in accordance with Section 3 below. MVWC may cancel any Transition Services upon not less than one hundred twenty (120) days’ prior written notice of cancellation to MII, unless a different period is provided for in the Services Exhibits. The cancellation of one category of Transition Services shall not operate to cancel or otherwise affect the remaining Transition Services, it being understood that some services are bundled and cannot be cancelled separately. To the extent possible, the cancellation of a Transition Service shall be effected at the end of a MII Accounting Period. MVWC may use the Transition Services for its own internal business purposes for its business conducted under brands licensed from MII and its Affiliates, consistent with the terms of the underlying agreement between MII and the applicable product/service vendor, and may not resell the Transition Services or otherwise make them available for use by third parties (provided, that a property owner’s association or similar entity for a project operated by MVWC or its Affiliates under brands licensed from MII and its Affiliates shall not be considered a third party for purposes of this Section 1).

2. Standard of Service. MII will provide, or cause to be provided, the Transition Services in accordance with MII’s standard policies, procedures and practices in effect immediately prior to the date hereof, as the same may be changed from time to time, and the Services Exhibits. In providing the Transition Services, MII shall at all times exercise the same care and skill as it exercises in performing like services for itself and other third parties, including franchisees. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Transition Services are provided on an “AS IS” basis.

3. Billing and Payment.

A. Payments. MVWC will pay the costs set forth in the Services Exhibits for those Transition Services that have not otherwise been cancelled by MVWC and that are provided pursuant to Section 1 of this Agreement during the Transition Period. Such costs that are currently allocated are subject to change based on annual budgets, actual expenditures, or other metrics, whether or not such allocation is set forth or described in the Services Exhibits; provided, that all such allocations to MVWC shall be made on a fair and reasonable basis, and MVWC acknowledges that such allocation methodologies in place as of the Closing Date are fair and reasonable; and provided further, that if a portion of the costs for any Transition Services are attributable to the development of systems enhancements with a total cost of $5 million or more, (i) if such systems enhancements are not intended to become effective during the Transition Period, MVWC shall not be allocated any costs for such systems enhancements, and (ii) if such systems enhancements become effective before the end of the term during which the related Transition Services are provided under this Agreement, then MII and MVWC shall discuss and agree on a reasonable allocation of such costs to MVWC taking into consideration the remaining term of the provision of the related Transition Services hereunder. Such allocations shall be subject to periodic “true-ups” for actual allocated costs. MII or one of its Affiliates shall xxxx MVWC for the Transition Services at the times and in the manner as such billing is made immediately prior to the Closing Date, and MVWC shall pay MII at the times and in the manner as payment is customarily made as of the Closing Date, in each case unless otherwise specified in the Services Exhibits, but in no event shall any payments be made more than thirty (30) days after the invoice date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payments made by MII to third parties (or MVWC employees) on behalf of MVWC or its Affiliates will be drawn by MII directly from MVWC bank accounts which MVWC shall keep funded with sufficient amounts to enable MII to make such payments, and MII shall not be required to advance or use any of its own funds to make any such payments. Any payments not made by MVWC to MII when due shall bear interest, computed daily, from the date due to the date of payment based on the annual percentage rate equal to the Prime Rate, plus three percentage points (3%). “Prime Rate” means the “rate” that Citibank, N.A. (or its successor entity) publishes from time to time as its prime lending rate in effect from time to time. MII shall be entitled to the costs of collecting any overdue amounts including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses.

B. Termination-Related Services and Payments. In connection with the termination or cancellation of the provision of any Transition Services by MII hereunder, whether at the end of the term of this Agreement or earlier, MII shall provide commercially reasonable services and assistance to transition such services to MVWC and its Affiliates or a third party provider, including such termination services as may be described in the Services Exhibits (as described herein, the “Termination Services”). Except as otherwise provided in a

Services Exhibit, with respect to the Termination Services: (i) MII shall make available to MVWC such books and records (subject to MII’s reasonable records retention policies) as will be needed by MVWC to prepare the accounting statements for the Transition Services for the accounting period of MVWC in which the termination or cancellation of the Transition Services or this Agreement, as the case may be, occurs and for any subsequent periods, (ii) MII shall use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate the orderly transfer of all information contained within such books and records from MII’s systems to MVWC’s or a successor’s systems, provided MII shall not be required to transfer any information that is confidential and/or proprietary to MII, (iii) MII acknowledges and agrees to provide MVWC all such data, books, and records, in such forms and electronic formats as agreed by MI and MVCW, and (iv) MII shall, within ninety (90) days after termination or cancellation of the Transition Services or of this Agreement, as the case may be, prepare and deliver to MVWC a final accounting statement with respect to the Transition Services. MVWC shall have no obligation to reimburse MII for any costs relating to data retention or storage by MII for legal, regulatory or other purposes.

MVWC shall reimburse MII for (i) any out of pocket costs incurred by MII or its Affiliates in providing the Termination Services, (ii) any costs and expenses of employees of MII or any Affiliate that are allocated to a fund or specified payment source (for the avoidance of doubt, MVWC is not responsible for internal costs incurred by MII, and not allocated to such a fund or specified payment source, that otherwise would have been incurred if the Termination Services were not provided), in providing Termination Services, and (iii) severance and other termination payments made by MII or its Affiliates for the termination of employment of employees of MII or its Affiliates (if any), it being understood that MVW shall only be responsible for such severance and termination costs as are mutually agreed to by MII and MVWC with respect to employees of MII or its Affiliates that are primarily engaged in providing Transition Services (for the avoidance of doubt, MVWC is not responsible for severance and other termination payments made by MII for the termination of employees of MII or its Affiliates that were not primarily engaged in providing Transition Services to MVWC).

4. Access. Each party shall make available on a timely basis to the other party and its Affiliates, as applicable, all information and materials reasonably requested by such Persons to enable them to provide or receive the Transition Services, as applicable, consistent with past practice.

5. Subcontracting. To the extent necessary or desirable to perform the Transition Services, MII or its Affiliates, as applicable, may subcontract any part of such services; provided, however, MII will continue to be responsible for its obligations under this Agreement on behalf of itself and any subcontractors of MII or its Affiliates. MII or its Affiliates, as applicable, shall be responsible for all payments to such subcontractors (provided, that such obligation of MII to pay such subcontractors shall not alter the amount MII is entitled to receive from MVWC for Transition Services hereunder).

6. Taxes. MVWC will pay all applicable taxes (including, without limitation, sales, use, services, value-added, and other such transaction-based taxes), duties, and tariffs and all other taxes or charges imposed on the provision of the Transition Services by MII or its Affiliates, as applicable, except for taxes based on net income of Parent or its Affiliates. If any such taxes are levied on MII or deducted from amounts otherwise due to MII hereunder, MVWC shall “gross up” the payments to MII so that the net amount received by MII is equal to the amount required to be paid to MII hereunder.

7. Firmware or Software. MVWC acknowledges that it will acquire no right, title or interest (including any license rights or rights of use) in any firmware or software, and the licenses therefor which are owned by MII or its Affiliates, as applicable, by reason of the provision of the Transition Services provided hereunder, except to the extent that any such license rights or rights of use are provided for in a written agreement signed by MII and MVWC.

8. Relationship of Parties. In providing the Transition Services, MII and its Affiliates, as applicable, shall act under this Agreement solely as independent contractors and not as agents or partners of MVWC. All employees and representatives providing the Transition Services shall be under the direction, control and supervision of MII and its Affiliates, as applicable (and not of MVWC) and MII and its Affiliates, as applicable, shall have the sole right to exercise all authority with respect to such employees and representatives and in no event shall such employees and representatives be deemed to be employees or agents of MVWC. Except as specifically provided herein, neither party shall act or represent or hold itself out as having authority to act as an agent or partner of the other party, or in any way bind or commit the other party to any obligations. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as creating a partnership, joint venture, agency, trust or other association of any kind, each party being individually responsible only for its obligations as set forth in this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, no services provided under this Agreement shall be construed as legal, accounting or tax advice or shall create any fiduciary obligations on the part of MII or any of its Affiliates to MVWC or any of its Affiliates, or to any plan trustee or any customer of any of them.

9. Force Majeure. No party shall be liable for any interruption, delay or failure to perform any obligation under this Agreement when such interruption, delay or failure is due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including any strikes, lockouts, acts of any government, riot, insurrection or other hostilities, embargo, fuel or energy shortage, fire, flood, acts of God, or general inability (not specific to the claiming party) to obtain necessary labor, materials or utilities. In any such event, the claiming party’s obligations hereunder shall be postponed for such time as its performance is suspended or delayed on account thereof and the claiming party shall have no liability to the other party in connection therewith. The claiming party will promptly notify the other party, in writing, upon learning of the occurrence of such event of force majeure. Upon the cessation of the force majeure event, the claiming party will use reasonable commercial efforts to resume its performance promptly.

10. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate on the earliest to occur of (a) the latest date on which any Transition Service is to be provided as indicated on the Services Exhibits, (b) the date on which the provision of all Transition Services has terminated or been canceled pursuant to Section 1 and (c) the date on which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 11. Sections 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 13 and 17 shall survive any termination of this Agreement or cancellation of any Transition Services hereunder.

11. Breach of Agreement. For purposes hereof, an “Event of Default” shall mean a party’s failure to comply in all material respects with its obligations hereunder which failure remains uncured for a period of 10 Business Days following such party’s receipt of written notice of such failure,. In the event of an Event of Default, the non-defaulting party may terminate this Agreement immediately by providing written notice of termination. Without limiting the foregoing, a non-payment or other breach by MVWC with respect to one or more Transition Services shall give MII the right to suspend such Transition Services until such breach is cured. The failure of a party to exercise its rights hereunder with respect to a breach by the other party shall not be construed as a waiver of such rights nor prevent such party from subsequently asserting such rights with regard to the same or similar defaults.

12. Disclaimers; Indemnification; Limitation of Liability.

(a) EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 2, MII DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, CUSTOM OR USAGE IN THE TRADE, IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROVISION OF THE TRANSITION SERVICES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

(b) With regard to any and all damages, fines, penalties, deficiencies, losses, liabilities (including settlements and judgments) and expenses (including interest, court costs, reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys, accountants and other experts and professionals or other reasonable fees and expenses of litigation or other proceedings or of any claim, default or assessment) (collectively, “Losses”) arising out of a breach of MII’s obligations in connection with the provision of Transition Services under this Agreement, other than Losses arising as a result of the fraud or willful misconduct of MII, MII’s sole liability for such Losses shall be to use reasonable commercial efforts to re-perform, or cause its Affiliates to re-perform, such services. MII agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless MVWC and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents as a result of the fraud or willful misconduct of MII. MVWC shall promptly advise MII of any such breach of which it becomes aware.

(c) EXCEPT FOR ITS OBLIGATION TO COMPLY WITH SUBSECTION (b) ABOVE, MII SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSSES IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT. MVWC AGREES TO INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD HARMLESS MII AND ITS AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS (“INDEMNIFIED PERSONS”) FROM ANY CLAIMS ASSERTED, OR ASSOCIATED LOSSES, BY OR ON BEHALF OF THIRD PARTIES OR WHICH RESULT FROM GOVERNMENTAL ACTION. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL A PARTY OR ITS AFFILIATES OR AGENTS BE LIABLE TO ANY INDEMNIFIED PERSON FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS, OR LOSS OF DATA, OR FOR ANY PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL OR OTHER INDIRECT DAMAGES, IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT UNLESS SUCH DAMAGES ARE AWARDED AND REQUIRED TO BE PAID BY AN INDEMNIFIED PERSON TO A THIRD PARTY PURSUANT TO AN ORDER OF A GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITY.

(d) The party required to indemnify pursuant to this Article (the “Indemnitor”), upon demand by a party (“Indemnitee”), at Indemnitor’s sole cost and expense, shall resist or defend such Claim (in the Indemnitee’s name, if necessary), using such attorneys as the Indemnitee shall approve, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. If, in the Indemnitee’s reasonable opinion, there exists a conflict of interest which would make it inadvisable to be represented by counsel for the Indemnitor, the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee shall jointly select acceptable attorneys, and the Indemnitor shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such attorneys.

(e) The foregoing provisions of this Article set forth the full extent of the parties’ liability (monetary or otherwise) under this Agreement for any and all Losses.

13. Confidentiality. Each party agrees to treat, and to cause its employees and agents to treat, confidentially all records and other information with respect to the other party. Specifically, each party agrees that it will, and will cause its employees and agents to, during the term of this Agreement and thereafter (except where required by law or court order or administrative agency order or subpoena): (a) retain all such information of the other party in confidence; (b) not disclose any such information to any third party without the permission of the other party, except as required by Law; (c) not use any such information of the other party for any purposes other than performing its obligations under this Agreement; (d) limit access to the information of the other party to those employees and agents who have a need to know the information for the business purposes of this Agreement, and maintain reasonable arrangements to protect confidentiality satisfactory to the other party with such party’s employees and agents having access to such information and with third parties having any access to such information; and (e) ensure that all tangible objects and copies thereof in such party’s possession or under its control containing or imparting any such information of the other party shall be returned to the other party at any time upon the request of the other party or upon termination of this Agreement.

14 Modification of Procedures. MII may make changes from time-to-time in its practices and procedures for performing the Transition Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, unless required by law, MII shall not implement any substantial changes affecting MVWC or its Affiliates unless:

(a) MII has furnished MVWC notice (the same notice MII provides its own business) thereof;

(b) MII changes such practices and procedures for its own business units at the same time; and

(c) MII gives MVWC a reasonable period of time for MVWC (i) to adapt its operations to accommodate such changes or (ii) reject such changes. In the event MVWC fails to accept or reject a proposed change on or before a reasonable date specified in such notice of change, such failure shall be deemed an acceptance of such change. In the event MVWC rejects a proposed change but does not terminate this Agreement, MVWC agrees to pay any reasonable expenses resulting from MII’s need to maintain different versions of the same systems, procedures, technologies, or services or resulting from requirements of third party vendors.

15. Compliance Audits. Upon notice from MII, MVWC shall provide MII, its auditors (including internal audit staff and external auditors), inspectors, regulators and other reasonably designated representatives as MII may from time to time designate in writing (collectively, the “MII Auditors”) with access to, at reasonable times, to any MVWC facility or part of a facility at which MVWC is using the Transition Services, to MVWC personnel, and to data and records relating to the Transition Services for purposes of verifying compliance with this Agreement. MII audits may include security reviews (including MVWC’s completion of security related questionnaires) of the Transition Services and MVWC’s systems, including reasonable use of automated scanning tools such as network scanners, port scanners, and web inspection tools. MVWC will provide any assistance that MII Auditors may reasonably require with respect to such audits.

16. Audit Rights. MVWC shall have the right, upon at least thirty (30) days written notice to MII, and in a manner to avoid interruption to MII’s business, to perform audit procedures over MII’s internal controls and procedures for the Transition Services provided by MII under this Agreement; provided that, such audit right shall exist solely to the extent required by MVWC’s external auditors to ensure MVWC’s compliance with the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002, to determine if MVWC’s financial statements conform to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) or to the extent required by governmental agencies. MII shall provide MVWC and MVWC’s auditors with appropriate space, furnishings, and telephone, facsimile and photocopy equipment as MVWC or MVWC’s auditors may reasonably require to perform such audit procedures. MII shall consider in good faith, but shall not be obligated to make, changes to its controls and procedures to address any findings of such audits. MVWC shall pay or reimburse all of MII’s incremental costs arising from all such audit-related activities, provision of space, furnishings and equipment, and analysis and implementation, if any, of any potential changes in MII’s controls or procedures described in this Section 16.

		These services are segmented into three areas: 1) Development Work, 2) Business as Usual Support, and 3) Transition/Hand-off Support

		Development Work

		MII TMAS will continue to develop new products and tools and support the MVWC organization during the implementation of those products and tools. Several key caveats are listed below to help clarify the nature of this support:

		• Products and tools scheduled for implementation on a date after the end of the Transition Period will not be supported for MVWC. MII TMAS will keep MVWC informed about such projects and as practical, provide technical information about the projects to assist MVWC should they decide to implement a similar product or tool on their own.
		• MII TMAS will consult with MVWC regarding new products and tools to determine the suitability and desirability of the new products and tools for MVWC.
		• MII TMAS will ensure that any new product or tool that will be implemented for MVWC is designed in such a way as to meet the functional, technical, and brand needs of MVWC.
		• MII TMAS will not support the development of products or tools that have singular applicability to MVWC.



		Specific examples of currently scheduled development work are listed below

		1. Inclusion of MVWC in the Taleo applicant tracking system development and implementation, including the integration of MVWC-specific job descriptions and ACE pre- screening items. MII TMAS will support post-launch stabilization efforts for MVWC. Scheduled for deployment in 1^st quarter of 2012.

		2. Inclusion of MVWC in ongoing LPP development and upgrade work. Phased deployments scheduled starting in Q3 of 2011 and continued updates through 2012. TMAS cannot support MVWC-specific customizations in content, platforms, or processes. TMAS can provide current-state and developed future-state materials to MVWC for consideration as they potentially plan for an MVWC-specific LPP model.

		3. Inclusion of MVWC with regard to updates to the Human Capital Review updates currently underway within the Success Factors platform (e.g., change management, training, implementation support). Initial deployment scheduled for Q3 2011.

		4. Inclusion of MVWC in planned validation and platform upgrade work associated with the DDI field management assessments. Scheduled to start in late Q2 of 2011, continuing into 2012 with platform updates scheduled for early 2013. This work will be completed on behalf of MVWC as long as TMAS is supporting Transition services at the time of the validation work.


		assessments, DDI Management Assessments, and Shaker VJT MVWC M&S assessments. This includes analyses of assessment performance and the Quality of Hire survey (so long as Quality of Hire is active for the overall Marriott Enterprise).

		2. Assessment tool development/refinement support including planned and ad hoc assessment alterations designed to improve tool functioning or adapt tools to changing business requirements.

		3. Continued Business as Usual support of the Hourly Performance Process (“HPP”) tool including the addition of new key actions to support new job positions. Continued inclusion of MVWC in “open calls” to support the Phase I and Phase II launches of HPP. Inclusion of MVWC in any HPP tool updates/upgrades including change management/implementation support.

		4. Implementation of the 2012 Engagement Survey to include MVWC in the administration of that survey. Continued analytical support for MVWC leadership.

		5. Continued support of occupation code management and job description creation activities, ranging from processing as-needed requests for new codes/descriptions to designing and implementing occupation code and/or job description restructuring projects.



		6. Starting in 2012, inclusion of MVWC with regard to Taleo’s recruiting tool, ACE, pre- screening item functionality analyses.

		7. Continued inclusion of MVWC in ongoing Quality of Hire surveys.

		8. Continued consideration of MVWC in enterprise-wide selection tool adverse impact analysis efforts.

		Transition/Hand-off Support

		The overarching goal of this agreement is to provide continued TMAS support to MVWC to avoid a disruption in human capital management processes and tools, allow MVWC to focus on developing a long-term human resources strategy, and work with MVWC to smoothly transfer organizational knowledge to MVWC with an emphasis on transitioning MVWC from current state into the to-be-developed long- term vision for MVWC human resources.

		1. MII TMAS will consult with MVWC on an ongoing basis with regard to HR strategic planning for MVWC with an emphasis on clarifying the philosophical and historical roots of various MII human resource management tools and processes.

		2. MII TMAS will provide MVWC with the technical support needed to transition all functions to the MVWC team prior to the end of the transition period. This transitional support includes helping MVWC understand the implications of removing, adding, or modifying tools and processes.


	3. MII TMAS will train/educate MVWC persons with regard to the operation or functioning of any TMAS developed products and tools.

	4. MII TMAS will make available to MVWC all product and tool documentation, specifically job analysis and assessment validation program results, so that MVWC can adequately evaluate the rigor of these cornerstone projects and support the continued use of the existing job descriptions and assessment tools.
