5. Termination Policy.This Agreement is not an employment contract. This Agreement is,
however, a contract creating enforceable rights between the Company (and any successor) and the Executive regarding the Option. This Agreement is subject to the Host Hotels & Resorts Severance Plan for Executives (the
Severance Plan), attached hereto as Exhibit A. If the Executives employment with the Company is terminated for Cause (as defined in the Severance Plan) or by the Executive without Good Reason (as defined in the Severance
Plan), then the unvested portion of the Option shall be forfeited and be no longer exercisable. If the Executives employment with the Company is terminated by (i) reason of the Executives death, (ii) Disability, (iii) the
Company without Cause or (iv) the Executive with Good Reason, then all shares subject to the Option shall vest and become exercisable.

6. Withholding.The Company has the authority to deduct or withhold, or require Executive to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy applicable federal, state, local and foreign taxes arising from exercise or vesting of
the Option. Executive may satisfy such tax withholding obligation, in whole or in part, by either: (i) electing to have the Company withhold shares otherwise to be delivered with a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount of the tax
withholding obligation; (ii) paying the withholding amount in cash to the Company; or (iii) with the consent of the Committee surrendering to the Company previously owned Common Stock with a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount of
the tax withholding obligation.

7. Not Transferable.Except as otherwise permitted by the Plan, this Option is not transferable
except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

8. Other Long-Term Incentive Awards.The Executive understands and agrees
that the Option granted pursuant to this Agreement are in lieu of any other Options for the period 2009  2011, and that the Executive is not entitled to receive any additional stock option awards (other than awards granted in February, 2009).
The Committee reserves the right to make additional long-term incentive awards to individuals in cases where it believes doing so is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

9. The Plan. The Option is granted in accordance with and subject to the Plan. The terms of this Agreement are intended to be in full accordance
with the Plan. However, in the event of any potential conflict between any term of this Agreement and the Plan, this Agreement shall automatically be amended to comply with the terms of the Plan. All defined terms used in this Agreement which are
otherwise not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan.

10. Modifications to the Agreement.This Agreement
represents the full and complete understanding between the Executive and the Company and this Agreement cannot be modified or changed by any prior or contemporaneous or future oral agreement of the parties. This Agreement shall only be modified by
the express written agreement of the parties.
