 MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL, INC., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of Delaware
(herein called the “Company,” which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., or registered assigns, the principal sum of Three
Hundred and Fifty Million Dollars on September 15, 2022 and to pay interest thereon from September 10, 2012, semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 in each year, commencing March 15, 2013, at the rate of 3.250% per
annum, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. All such payments of principal, interest and premium, if any, shall be paid in immediately available funds. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for,
on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which
shall be the February 28 or August 31 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the
Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to
be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of
any securities exchange on which the Securities of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture. 







 Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security will be made
at the office or agency of the Trustee maintained for that purpose in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts;
provided, however, that payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register; and provided, further, that notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Person in whose name this Security is registered may elect to receive payments of interest on this Security (other than at Maturity) by electronic funds transfer of immediately available funds to an account maintained by such Person,
provided such Person so elects by giving written notice to a Paying Agent designating such account, no later than the February 15 or the August 15 immediately preceding the March 15 or September 15 Interest Payment Date, as the
case may be. Unless such designation is revoked by such Person, any such designation made by such Person with respect to such Securities shall remain in effect with respect to any future payments with respect to such Securities payable to such
Person. 
 Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse hereof, which further
provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place. 
 Unless the certificate of
authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

 [Reverse of Security] 

This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”), issued and to be
issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of November 16, 1998 (herein called the “Indenture”, which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instrument), between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon,
successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., formerly known as The Chase Manhattan Bank, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for
a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.
This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, limited initially in aggregate principal amount to $350,000,000. The Company may subsequently issue additional securities as part of this series of Securities under the
Indenture. 
 The Company may redeem the Securities in whole or in part from time to time prior to June 15, 2022, at its
option, at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (A) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Redemption Date, and (B) as determined by the Independent
Investment Banker (as defined below), the sum of the present values of the principal amount of, and remaining scheduled payments of interest on, the Securities to be redeemed (not including any interest accrued as of the Redemption Date) discounted
to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis at the Treasury Rate (as defined below) plus 30 basis points, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Redemption Date. 

The Company may redeem the Securities in whole or in part from time to time on or after June 15, 2022, at its option, at a
Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the Redemption Date. 
 The Redemption Price will be calculated assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. 
 The Company will mail notice of any redemption at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of the Securities to be redeemed. 

Unless the Company defaults in payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the
Securities or portions of the Securities called for redemption. 
 In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a
new Security or Securities of this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. 
 “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the


  
 4 








 
Securities that would be used, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the
remaining term of the Securities. 
 “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any Redemption Date,
(1) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for that Redemption Date, after excluding the highest and lowest of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Trustee obtains fewer than three Reference Treasury
Dealer Quotations, the average of all Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations so received. 
 “Independent Investment
Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Trustee after consultation with the Company. 

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means (a) each of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and a Primary Treasury Dealer selected by
Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and its successors, unless it ceases to be a primary U.S. government securities dealer in New York City (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), in which case the Company shall substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer,
and (b) any other Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Company. 
 “Reference Treasury Dealer
Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date, the average, as determined by the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of
its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by that Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding that Redemption Date. 

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Redemption Date, the rate per year equal to the semiannual equivalent yield
to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, calculated on the third business day preceding the Redemption Date, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury
Price for that Redemption Date. 
 If a Change of Control Repurchase Event (as defined below) occurs, unless the Company has
exercised its right to redeem the Securities of this series, the Company will make an offer to each Holder of the Securities of this series to repurchase all or any part (in excess of $2,000 in integral multiples of $1,000) of that Holder’s
Securities of this series at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities of this series repurchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities of this series repurchased to the date of
purchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the Company’s option, prior to any Change of Control (as defined below), but after the public announcement of the Change of Control, the Company will mail a
notice to each Holder, with a copy to the Trustee, describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event and offering to repurchase the Securities of this series on the payment date
specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed. The notice shall, if mailed prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer
to purchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Repurchase Event occurring on or prior to the payment date specified in the notice. The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange


  
 5 








 
Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Securities of this series as a result
of a Change of Control Repurchase Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions herein, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and
regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions herein by virtue of such conflict. 
 On the Change of Control Repurchase Event payment date, the Company will, to the extent lawful: 
 1. accept for payment all Securities of this series or portions of Securities of this series properly tendered pursuant to the Company’s offer; 

2. deposit with the Paying Agent an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price in respect of all Securities of this series or portions
of Securities of this series properly tendered; and 
 3. deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Securities of this
series properly accepted, together with an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of the Securities being purchased by the Company. 
 The Paying Agent will promptly mail to each Holder of the Securities of this series properly tendered the purchase price for the Securities, and the Trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause
to be transferred by book-entry) to each Holder a new Security equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any Securities surrendered; provided that each new Security will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of
$1,000. 
 The Company will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Securities of this series upon a Change of
Control Repurchase Event if a third party makes such an offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Company and such third party purchases all Securities properly tendered and not
withdrawn under its offer. 
 “Below Investment Grade Rating Event” means the Securities of this series are
rated below Investment Grade (as defined below) by both Rating Agencies (as defined below) on any date from the date of the public notice of an arrangement that could result in a Change of Control until the end of the 60-day period following public
notice of the occurrence of a Change of Control (which period shall be extended so long as the rating of the Securities of this series is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by either of the Rating Agencies); provided that
a Below Investment Grade Rating Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating shall not be deemed to have occurred in respect of a particular Change of Control (and thus shall not be deemed a Below Investment Grade Rating
Event for purposes of the definition of Change of Control Repurchase Event herein) if the Rating Agencies making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply do not announce or publicly confirm or inform the Trustee in
writing at its request that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control
shall have occurred at the time of the Below Investment Grade Rating Event). 

  
 6 








 “Change of Control” means the consummation of any transaction (including,
without limitation, any merger or consolidation) the result of which is that any “person” (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the
Company’s Voting Stock, measured by voting power rather than number of shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction effected to create a holding company for the Company will not be deemed to involve a change of control if:
(1) pursuant to such transaction the Company becomes a direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of such holding company and (2)(A) the direct or indirect holders of the Voting Stock of such holding company immediately following that
transaction are substantially the same as the holders of the Company’s Voting Stock immediately prior to that transaction or (B) immediately following that transaction no person (other than a holding company satisfying the requirements of
this sentence) is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the Voting Stock of such holding company, measured by voting power rather than number of shares. 

“Change of Control Repurchase Event” means the occurrence of both a Change of Control and a Below Investment Grade
Rating Event. 
 “Investment Grade” means a rating of Baa3 or better by Moody’s (or its equivalent under
any successor rating categories of Moody’s); a rating of BBB- or better by S&P (or its equivalent under any successor rating categories of S&P); and the equivalent investment grade credit rating from any replacement rating agency or
rating agencies selected by the Company. 
 “Moody’s” means Moody’s Investors Service Inc.

 “Rating Agency” means (1) each of Moody’s and S&P; and (2) if either of Moody’s or
S&P ceases to rate the Securities of this series or fails to make a rating of the Securities of this series publicly available for reasons outside of the Company’s control, a “nationally recognized statistical rating organization”
within the meaning of Rule 15c3-1(c)(2)(vi)(F) under the Exchange Act, selected by the Company (as certified by a resolution of the Company’s board of directors) as a replacement agency for Moody’s or S&P, or both, as the case may be.

 “S&P” means Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill
Companies, Inc. 
 “Voting Stock” of any specified “person” (as that term is used in
Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) as of any date means the capital stock of such person that is at the time entitled to vote generally in the election of the board of directors of such person. 

The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of this Security or certain restrictive covenants
and Events of Default with respect to this Security, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture. 
 If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the
effect provided in the Indenture. 

  
 7 








 The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof
and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of 50% in
principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time
Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by
the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not
notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security. 
 As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture,
the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the
Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to
the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series
at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit
instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein. 

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the
Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed. 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the
Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Trustee in any place where the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by
a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like
tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 
 The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject
to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering
the same. 

  
 8 








 No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the
Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. 

Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the
Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary. 
 All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the
Indenture.
