	Re:	Letter Agreement 


Supplement to Design Review Addendum 
 Dear Bill: 
 The purpose of this letter (“Letter Agreement”) is to document and
formalize a supplement to the terms of the Design Review Addendum (“Addendum”), which Addendum is part of and is incorporated into that certain License, Services, and Development Agreement dated effective November 19, 2011
(“License Agreement”) by and between Marriott International, Inc. (“MII”) and Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation (“MVWC”) as Exhibit G, and to memorialize the terms of our agreement regarding the process for
design review relating to renovation and/or refurbishment of Existing Projects (as defined in the Addendum), all as set forth herein. 
 In
connection with the License Agreement and Addendum, MVWC and MII agree as follows: 
 Notwithstanding the terms and conditions of the Addendum
and License Agreement, the following is intended to clarify the specific requirements of compliance with the Addendum (Exhibit G of the License Agreement) as it relates to Existing Projects. 
 Project Pipeline Review 
 MII and MVWC will conduct a semi-annual review of all
planned and active projects at Existing Projects for the then-current and subsequent year, with MVWC having the responsibility to schedule the semi-annual review meeting. Any cost and expense pre-approved by MVWC and incurred with respect to such
semi-annual review meeting will be paid by MVWC. The goals of this review are: 
  

	 	•	 	 Ensure alignment of required reviews and schedules 


  

	 	•	 	 Agree upon degree of review for each project 


  

	 	•	 	 Marriott to execute required waivers 


  

	 	•	 	 Discuss process improvements 


  





 







 Review Categories 
 In recognition of the varying degree of project scopes, complexities and impacts, all MVWC renovation and refurbishment projects will be subject to one of three processes with MII (as defined below). All
MVWC projects will be tracked via a project planning matrix. The planning matrix or matrices will track all villa/unit projects and any supplemental projects. The matrices will track key milestone dates and any requests for approval/approvals as it
relates to the Addendum. The below sets out agreement between MII and MVWC with respect to the processes for those different types of projects at the Projects. 
 Processes 
  

	A.	The following types of projects at the Projects will follow the current review process outlined under Sections 2, 3 and 4, as applicable, of the Addendum:


 Addendum 
  

	 	•	 	 All new buildings 


  

	 	•	 	 Changes to existing building footprints 


  

	B.	The following types of projects at the Projects will follow the revised review process set out in Schedule “A” attached hereto:


 Modification for Villas/Units, Corridors and Public Spaces 

The specific review process is set out in Schedule “A” attached hereto and relates to the following types of
projects: 
  

	 	•	 	 Softgoods – new design 


  

	 	•	 	 Soft/case goods – new design 


  

	 	•	 	 Softgoods – multiple re-upholster items 


  

	 	•	 	 New carpet 


  

	 	•	 	 Exterior coloration or architectural change to existing buildings 



The Technical Services Fees set forth in the Addendum apply to the above-referenced types of modifications. 

In addition to the Technical Services Fees to be paid, when lobby areas at an Existing Project are to be modified in conjunction with a
villa/unit, corridor and/or public space modification at the Existing Project, the following fees associated with the lobby area modification will be paid by MVWC to MII as follows: 

 

	 	•	 	 Softgoods only – new design - $3,000 


  

	 	•	 	 Soft and case goods – new design - $8,000 


  

	 	•	 	 Soft, case and hard surfaces (tile, millwork, etc.) - $10,000 



  
 2 








 In connection with the above, MII will send an invoice for the Technical Services Fees, as
well as an invoice relating to a lobby area modification, as and if applicable, to MVWC in accordance with the timing set forth in the Addendum. 
  

	C.	The following types of projects at the Projects do not require compliance with the Addendum, but will be in one of two categories, Review Waivers or an Automatic
Waiver, as follows: 

 Waivers 
 There will be no Technical Services Fees and no Review Fees associated with the following waivers and process. 
 + Review Waivers: 
  

	 	•	 	 All mutually agreed upon projects waived during semi-annual project review meeting. MII will execute a waiver in substantially the form attached hereto
as Schedule “B” at such project review meeting for those agreed upon projects to be waived. 


 +Automatic Waivers (no written waiver required): 
  

	 	•	 	 All ADA remediation work 


  

	 	•	 	 Selective work – paint, vinyl wall covering, and single re-upholstered items 



 

	 	•	 	 Back of house space renovations and refurbishments 


  

	 	•	 	 Detached secondary spaces renovations and refurbishments – (e.g., Kids Club, Fitness Center, Multi-purpose Rooms) 



 

	 	•	 	 Continuation of a previously approved design scheme in subsequent phases of a Project 



MII and MVWC agree that the Addendum and this Letter Agreement do not apply to those projects at Existing Projects for which the condominium owners
association at such Existing Projects have hired a third-party project manager or director and neither MVWC nor MII are engaged by the Association for such project work. 
 The termination of this Letter Agreement shall coincide with the termination of the License Agreement. 
 Other than as specifically and expressly set forth herein, nothing in this Letter Agreement shall be deemed to supersede, waive any rights, claims, demands or release MII or MVWC from any duties or
obligations set forth in the License Agreement or to otherwise modify the License Agreement and Addendum.
