(a) Marriott or such Restricted Subsidiary would be entitled,
pursuant to Section 3.8, to create, assume or suffer to exist a Lien on the
property to be leased without equally and ratably securing the Securities, or
(b) Marriott within 240 days after the effective date of such

Securities, or Debt ranking on a parity with the Additional Guarantee, an amount
not less than (x) the greater of (i) the net cash proceeds of the sale of the

Section 3.10 Company Merger or Consolidation. The Company
-------------------------------
covenants that it shall not consolidate with or merge into another Person, or
convey, transfer or lease its properties and assets substantially as an entirety
to, any Person (the "Successor Person") if such Successor Person is not
organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States, any State
thereof or the District of Columbia or The Netherlands, unless:
(I) the Successor Person shall expressly agree by
supplemental indenture (A) to indemnify the Holder of each Security
against (1) any tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed upon such
Holder or required to be withheld or
10
deducted from any payment to such Holder as a consequence of such
consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease, and (2) any costs
or expenses of the act of such consolidation, merger, conveyance,
transfer or lease, and (B) that all payments pursuant to the Securities
or the Guarantees in respect of the principal of and interest on the
Securities, as the case may be, shall be made without withholding or
deduction for, or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties,
assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed or levied
by or on behalf of the jurisdiction of organization of the Successor
Person or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or
therein, unless such taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges
are required by such jurisdiction or any such subdivision or authority
to be withheld or deducted, in which case the Successor Person will pay
by way of additional interest such additional amounts of, or in respect
of, principal and interest ("Successor Additional Amounts") as will
----------------------------
result (after deduction of such taxes, duties, assessments or
governmental charges and any additional taxes, duties, assessments or
governmental charges payable in respect of such) in the payment to each
Holder of a Security of the amounts which would have been payable
pursuant to the Securities or the Guarantees, as the case may be, had no
such withholding or deduction been required, except that no Successor
Additional Amounts shall be so payable for or on account of:
(1) any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental
charge which would not have been imposed but for the fact that
such Holder:
(a) was a resident, domiciliary or national of,
or engaged in business or maintained a permanent
establishment or was physically present in, the
jurisdiction of organization of the Successor Person or
otherwise had some connection with the jurisdiction of
organization of the Successor Person other than the mere
ownership of, or receipt of payment under, such Security
or Guarantee;
(b) presented such Security or Guarantee for
payment in the jurisdiction of organization of the
Successor Person, unless such Security or Guarantee
could not have been presented for payment elsewhere; or
(c) presented such Security or Guarantee more
than thirty (30) days after the date on which the
payment in respect of such Security or Guarantee first
became due and payable or provided for, whichever is
later, except to the extent that the Holder would have
been entitled to such Successor Additional Amounts if it
had presented such Security or Guarantee for payment on
any day within such period of thirty (30) days;
(2) any estate, inheritance, gift, sale, transfer,
personal property or similar tax, assessment or other
governmental charge;
11
(3) any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental
charge which is payable otherwise than by withholding or deduction
from payments of (or in respect of) principal of or interest on the
Securities or the Guarantees;
(4) any tax, duty, assessment or other governmental
charge that is imposed or withheld by reason of the failure to comply by
the Holder or the beneficial owner of a Security with a request of the
Successor Person, RHG Finance or the Company, as the case may be,
addressed to the Holder (a) to provide information concerning the
nationality, residence or identity of the Holder or such beneficial
owner or (b) to make any declaration or other similar claim or satisfy
any information or reporting requirement, which, in the case of (a) or
(b), is required or imposed by a statute, treaty, regulation or
administrative practice of the taxing jurisdiction as a precondition to
exemption from all or part of such tax, duty, assessment or other
governmental charge; or
(5) any combination of items (1), (2), (3) and (4 );
nor shall Successor Additional Amounts be paid with respect to any payment
of the principal of or interest on any such Security to any Holder who is a
fiduciary or partnership or other than the sole beneficial owner of such
payment to the extent such payment would be required by the laws of the
jurisdiction of organization of the Successor Person (or any taxing authority
thereof or therein) to be included in the income for tax purposes of a
beneficiary or settlor with respect to such fiduciary or a member of such
partnership or a beneficial owner who would not have been entitled to such
Additional Amounts of interest had it been the Holder of the Security;
or
(II) Marriott in its sole discretion expressly agrees by supplemental
indenture to assume all obligations otherwise applicable to a Successor Person
pursuant to Subsection 3.10(I) above, in which case no supplemental indenture
as referenced in such Subsection 3.10(I) shall be required of a Successor
Person in connection with a consolidation, merger or conveyance, transfer or
lease of assets of the Company to a Person that is not organized and validly
existing under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District
of Columbia or The Netherlands, and none of the provisions of Subsection
3.10(I) shall be applicable to such Successor Person.
In connection with the execution and delivery of any supplemental
indenture pursuant to this Section 3.10, the Successor Person (with respect to a
supplemental indenture pursuant to Subsection 3.10(I)) or Marriott (with respect
to a supplemental indenture pursuant to Subsection 3.10(II)) shall deliver to
the Trustee an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that such
supplemental indenture complies with the applicable provisions of this
Indenture, and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to
such transaction have been complied with.

so waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the

either (a) each of RHG Finance, the Company and Marriott, shall
be deemed to have been Discharged (a s defined below) from its,
or their, obligations with respect to the Securities ("legal

with the Trustee as trust funds in trust, specifically
pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the

amount, or (ii) U.S. Government Obligations (as defined
below) which through the payment of interest and

the Outstanding Securities on the dates such installments of
interest or principal and premium are due (including Additional
Amounts, if any, known at the time of such deposit);
(2) such deposit shall not cause the Trustee with
respect to the Securities to have a conflicting interest for
purposes of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to the
Securities, provided that RHG Finance, the Company or Marriott
may remove the Trustee and substitute a new Trustee if otherwise
permitted by Article Five;
(3) if the Securities are then listed on any national
securities exchange, RHG Finance, the Company or Marriott shall
have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel or a letter
or other document from such exchange to the effect that the
exercise by RHG Finance, the Company or Marriott of its option
under this Section would not cause such Securities to be
delisted;
(4) no Event of Default or event (including such
deposit) which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would

Opinion of Counsel or a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service
to the effect that the Holders of the Securities will not
recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes

notice or lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of Default under

"Discharged" means that RHG Finance, the Company or Marriott, as
applicable, shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire
indebtedness represented by, and obligations under, the Securities and
to have satisfied all the obligations under this Indenture relating to
the Securities (and the Trustee, at the expense of RHG Finance, the
18
Company or Marriott, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the

Trustee pursuant to Section 9.2 in respect of the Securities shall be
held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of
the Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or
through any Paying Agent (including RHG Finance acting as its own Paying
Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of the Securities,

upon demand of RHG Finance, the Company or Marriott, as applicable, or
(if then held by RHG Finance, the Company or Marriott) shall be
discharged from such trust; and the Holder of any Security shall
thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to RHG Finance,
the Company or Marriott for payment thereof, and all liability of the
Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all
liability of RHG Finance, the Company or Marriott, as
19
trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the

Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such
repayment, may at the expense of RHG Finance, the Company or Marriott
cause to be transmitted to the Holders in the manner and to the extent
provided by the second paragraph of Section 10.4, notice that such money

unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to RHG
Finance, the Company or Marriott.
Section 9.5 Reinstatement.
-------------
If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in
accordance with Section 9.3 by reason of any order or judgment of any
court or government authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise
prohibiting such application, then the obligations of RHG Finance, the
Company or Marriott under this Indenture and the Securities shall be
revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to
Section 9.2 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted
to apply all such money in accordance with Section 9.3; provided,
however, that if RHG Finance, the Company or Marriott makes any payment
of interest on or principal (or Additional Amounts, if any) of any of
the Securities following the reinstatement of its obligations, RHG
Finance, the Company or Marriott shall be subrogated to the rights of
the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money
held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.
Section 1.12 Amended Notice Provision. The following Section is hereby
------------------------
amended in its entirety to read as follows:
Section 10.4 Notices and Demands on RHG Finance, Company,
-------------------------------------------
Marriott, Trustee and Securityholders.
-------------------------------------
Any notice or demand which by any provision of this Indenture is
required or permitted to be given or served by the Trustee or by the
Holders of Securities to or on RHG Finance, the Company or Marriott, as
the case may be, may be given or served by being deposited postage
prepaid, first-class mail (except as otherwise specifically provided
herein) addressed (until another address of RHG Finance, the Company or
Marriott is filed by RHG Finance, the Company or Marriott, as the case
may be, with the Trustee) to RHG Finance or the Company c/o Marriott
International, or to Marriott International, Inc. at 00000 Xxxxxxxx
Xxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, Attention: Treasurer, with a copy to:
Legal Department. Any notice, direction, request or demand by RHG
Finance, the Company, Marriott or any Securityholder to or upon the
Trustee shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given or made, for all
purposes, if given or made at the Corporate Trust Office.
Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders, such notice
shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided)
if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder
entitled thereto, at his last address as it appears in the Security
Register. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither
the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed,
to any particular Holder
20
shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other
Holders. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such
notice may be waived in writing by the person entitled to receive such
notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the
equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed
with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to
the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.
In case, by reason of the suspension of or irregularities in
regular mail service, it shall be impracticable to mail notice to RHG
Finance, the Company, Marriott and Securityholders when such notice is
required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then
any matter of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee
shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.
Section 1.13 Conforming Amendments. Each reference to "the Company"
---------------------
