or any of its Subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. To the best knowledge of each Borrower, there is (i) no unfair labor practice complaint pending or reasonably expected to arise against the U.S.
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries before the National Labor Relations Board and no significant grievance or significant arbitration proceeding arising out of or under any collective bargaining agreement is so pending or reasonably expected to
arise against the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) no strike, labor dispute, slowdown or stoppage that is pending or reasonably expected to arise against the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, and (iii) no union
representation question that exists with respect to the employees of the U.S. Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case with respect to the Hotel Properties and/or other Real Properties owned or leased by the U.S. Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries, except (with respect to any matter specified in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, either individually or in the aggregate) such as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or as is set forth on
Schedule 8.18.” 
  
 SECTION 1.6. Section 10.15 of
the Credit Agreement is amended by adding the following sentence to the end of Section 10.15(d): 
  
 “Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision of any other Credit Document, following the date that the Bridge Loan Agreement is entered into
(i) the Collateral Release Date shall not occur at any time while the Bridge Loans (or any commitments to make Bridge Loans) remain outstanding and (ii) any notice given pursuant to this Section 10.15(d) prior to the date that the
Bridge Loan Agreement is entered into shall cease to be effective until the Collateral Release Date is permitted to occur pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (i).” 
  
 SECTION 1.7. Section 10.15(a)(2) of the Credit Agreement is amended by (a) replacing the reference to “clause
(iv)” in the tenth line of the introductory paragraph thereof with reference to “clause (v)”, (b) renumbering clauses (iii) and (iv) thereof as clauses (iv) and (v), respectively, and (c) inserting the
following new clause (iii) immediately following clause (ii) thereof: 
  
 “(iii) with respect to clauses (I), (II) and (III) above, the terms of an applicable Requirement of Law prohibit or restrict such Subsidiary from executing a counterpart of the Subsidiaries Guaranty and/or
the Pledge and Security Agreement or prohibits or restricts the capital stock or other equity of such Subsidiary from being pledged under the Pledge and Security Agreement (as opposed to restricting or prohibiting the ability of the Collateral Agent
to exercise remedies with respect to such pledge); provided, however, that (x) the U.S. 
  

 -5- 








 Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary shall have exercised commercially reasonable efforts to provide the
pledge and/or guaranty contemplated hereby while complying with such Requirement of Law and (y) the failure to comply with such Requirement of Law would present a risk of material forfeiture or liability for the U.S. Borrower or the applicable
Subsidiary or personal liability for any director or officer of the U.S. Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary or the Administrative Agent otherwise determines that compliance with such Requirement of Law is advisable and provided, further, however,
that this clause (iii) shall not apply to actions by a Domestic Subsidiary other than the pledge by a Domestic Subsidiary of equity of a Foreign Subsidiary that is restricted by a Requirement of Law other than a Requirement of Law of the United
States or any political subdivision thereof;” 
  
 SECTION
1.8. Section 14.11 of the Credit Agreement is amended by adding the following clause (d) to the end of such Section: 
  
 “the Collateral Agent is authorized without the further consent of any Lender to enter into such amendments, supplements and modifications to the
Credit Documents, including the Pledge Agreement, as it shall in its sole discretion deem necessary, desirable or appropriate to (a) include as Secured Creditors the Bridge Lenders, the Exchange Noteholders and the SHC Noteholders and to
include as Obligations (as defined in the Pledge Agreement), the Bridge Loan Obligations, the Exchange Note Obligations and the SHC Note Obligations and (b) amend the termination provisions of Section 14.20 of the Pledge Agreement and the
definition of “Required Secured Creditors” set forth in Section 4(a) of Annex G to the Pledge Agreement to read as set forth on Exhibit B to Amendment No. 1 to this Agreement and (c) to make other changes to the
Pledge Agreement to implement the intent of the foregoing as determined by the Collateral Agent.”

 SECTION 4.1. Full Force and Effect; Limited Amendment and Waiver. Except as expressly modified hereby, all of the representations, warranties, terms, covenants, conditions and other provisions of the Credit
Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall remain unamended and unwaived and shall continue to be, and shall remain, in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms. The amendments and waivers set forth herein shall be limited

 -7- 








 other term or provision of the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document or of any transaction or further or future
action which would require the consent of the Lenders under the Credit Agreement.

consultants, attorneys, officers, directors, partners, fiduciaries, predecessors, successors and assigns, subsidiary corporations, parent corporations and related corporate divisions (collectively, the “Released Parties”), from any

kind, whether heretofore or hereafter arising, for or because of any matter or things done, omitted or suffered to be done by any of the Released Parties prior to and including the date of execution hereof, and in any way directly or indirectly
arising out of any or in any way connected to the Credit Agreement or the other Credit Documents (collectively, the “Released Matters”). Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that the agreements in this Section 4.2 are intended to

 Exhibit A 
  
 Schedule 8.18 
  
 Certain Labor Matters 
  
 Note: The information contained on this Schedule qualifies the representation and warranty set forth in Section 8.18 of the Credit Agreement for limited purpose of any representations or warranties that are
required to be made in connection with a borrowing under the Credit Agreement for the purpose of consummating the Starwood Acquisition on the Initial Starwood Acquisition Closing Date and such qualification shall be applicable only if after
giving effect to the Starwood Acquisition no more than 20% of total domestic revenues of the U.S. Borrower and its Subsidiaries are derived from hotels employing (or managers thereof employing) union labor. 
  
 UNITE HERE, a major hotel labor union, is seeking to renegotiate union contracts that have
expired or are due to expire during 2006. Such expiration dates currently vary by geographic location, and it is expected that UNITE HERE will, in the process of seeking enhanced union rights and other concessions, seek to cause the replacement
contracts in all cities to have generally concurrent expiration dates. The San Francisco contract expired in 2004 and has not been replaced to date. Such expiration has resulted in a series of strikes and lockouts in the San Francisco market. With
contract expirations due to occur during 2006 in major markets such as New York, Hawaii, Chicago, Toronto, Boston and Los Angeles, it is expected that the labor unrest evident in the San Francisco market will affect such other markets during 2006
until such time as replacement labor contracts are successfully negotiated. The Borrower can provide no assurances as to the length of time that will be required to complete such negotiations. The foregoing matters are not reasonably likely to have
a material adverse effect on the ability of the U.S. Borrower to comply with the financial covenants contained in Sections 9.01 through 9.04 of the Credit Agreement. 







 Exhibit B 
  
 Amendment to Section 18(a) of the Pledge Agreement: 
  
 The last sentence of Section 18(a) is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: 
  
 “As used in this Agreement, “Termination Date” shall mean the earliest of: 
  
 (i) the later of (X) the date upon which the Total
Revolving Loan Commitment has been terminated, and all Credit Document Obligations (excluding normal continuing indemnity obligations which survive in accordance with their terms, so long as no amounts are then due and payable in respect thereof)
have been indefeasibly paid in full (provided the terms of the Secured Hedging Agreements and the other Secured Debt Agreements do not otherwise prohibit the termination hereof), and (Y) the date on which all commitments to make Bridge Loans
under the Bridge Loan Agreement have been terminated, and all Bridge Loan Obligations (excluding normal continuing indemnity obligations which survive in accordance with their terms, so long as no amounts are then due and payable in respect thereof)
have been indefeasibly paid in full, 
  
 (ii) the

 As used herein, the term “Required Secured Creditors” shall mean (i) at all times prior to the
occurrence of the Termination Date (as defined in the Pledge Agreement), the holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding Applicable Credit Document Obligations and (ii) at all times after the Applicable Credit Termination Date, the

provisions of clause (i) shall apply notwithstanding there shall be a period when clause (ii) shall have applied. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in clause (i) or (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, if
at any time the principal of any Obligations secured hereby has been accelerated, or the final maturity date with respect to any such principal 







 Obligations has occurred, and as a result thereof one or more payment Events of Default (where the aggregate principal
amount of such Obligations accelerated or not paid at final maturity equals or exceeds $50,000,000), which payment Events of Default shall have continued in existence for at least 60 consecutive days after the date of such acceleration or final
maturity, and the Required Secured Creditors (or the Representative thereof) at such time (determined without regard to this sentence) have not directed the Pledgee to commence enforcement proceedings pursuant to the Pledge Agreement, then so long
as such payment Event of Default is continuing the Secured Creditors (or the Representative thereof) holding at least a majority of the outstanding Obligations secured hereby subject to such payment Event of Default shall constitute the Required
Secured Creditors for purposes of causing the Pledgee to commence enforcement proceedings pursuant to the Pledge Agreement, provided that in such event the Secured Creditors who would constitute the Required Secured Creditors in the absence
of this sentence shall have the right to direct the manner and method of enforcement so long as such directions do not materially delay or impair the taking of enforcement action. 
  
 The term “Applicable Credit Document Obligations” means, so long as the Bridge Loans remain outstanding and
exceed the Credit Document Obligations, the Bridge Loan Obligations, and at all other times the Credit Document Obligations. The term “Applicable Credit Termination Date” shall mean the later of the dates set forth in clause
(i) of the definition of the term “Termination Date”.
