Dear Sirs and Mesdames:
Host Marriott Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the "Company"), proposes
to issue and sell to the several Underwriters named in Schedule I hereto (the
"Underwriters") 4,000,000 shares of its 10% Class A Cumulative Redeemable
Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Firm Shares"). The Company also
proposes to issue and sell to the several Underwriters not more than an
additional 600,000 shares of its 10% Class A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred
Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Additional Shares"), if and to the extent
that you, as Managers of the offering, shall have determined to exercise, on
behalf of the Underwriters, the right to purchase such shares of preferred stock
granted to the Underwriters in Section 2 hereof. The Firm Shares and the
Additional Shares are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Shares", and
the Company's 10% Class A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $.01
per share, is hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "Class A Preferred
Stock".
The terms of the Shares will be set forth in articles supplementary (the
"Articles Supplementary") to be filed by the Company with the Maryland State
Department of Assessments and Taxation (the "SDAT"). The Company intends to
contribute or otherwise transfer the net proceeds from the sale of the Shares to
Host Marriott, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Operating
Partnership"), in exchange for Class A Preferred Units (the "Preferred Units")
in the Operating Partnership, the economic terms of which will be substantially
identical to those of the Series A Preferred Stock. The Company will list the
Shares on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE").
The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") a registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-67907),

(d) The Underwriters shall have received on the Closing Date an
opinion of Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx, counsel for the Company and the Operating
Partnership, dated the Closing Date, to the effect that:
(i) the Operating Partnership is a limited partnership duly formed
and validly existing under and by virtue of the Partnership Act and,
based solely upon certificates of public officials, is in good
standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has the
partnership power and authority to own and lease its property and to
conduct its business as described in the Prospectus;
(ii) the Preferred Units have been duly authorized by the
Operating Partnership and, when issued by the Operating Partnership to
the Company, will represent valid limited partnership interests in the
Operating Partnership;
(iii) the execution and delivery by the Company and the Operating
Partnership of this Agreement, the offering, issuance and sale of the
Shares and the application of the net proceeds therefrom by the
Company as contemplated by this Agreement, and the issuance and sale
of the Preferred Units by the Operating Partnership to the Company as

in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or
constitute a default under, any Senior Note Document; or (C) violate
any federal law, statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company
or the Operating Partnership or the Partnership Act; and no consent,
approval, authorization or order of, or qualification with, any

the application of the net proceeds therefrom by the Company as
contemplated by this Agreement or for the issuance and sale of the
Preferred Units by the Operating
13
Partnership to the Company as contemplated by this Agreement, except
(x) such as may be required under state securities laws in connection
with the offer and sale of the Shares, and (y) such as have been
obtained under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and are in full
force and effect;
(iv) the statements in the Prospectus Supplement under the caption
"Federal Income Tax Considerations", insofar as such statements
constitute summaries of legal matters, documents or proceedings, are
correct in all material respects;
(v) neither the Company nor the Operating Partnership is and,
after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Shares, the
issuance and sale of the Preferred Units and the application of the
proceeds thereof as described in the Prospectus, neither the Company
nor the Operating Partnership will be an "investment company" as such
term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended;
(vi) the Registration Statement and Prospectus (except for
financial statements and schedules and other financial and statistical
data included therein, as to which such counsel need not express any
opinion) comply as to form in all material respects with the
Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the
Commission thereunder. In passing upon compliance as to form of such
documents, such counsel may assume that the statements made and
incorporated by reference therein are correct and complete.
(e) The Underwriters shall have received on the Closing Date an
opinion of Xxxxx & Xxxxxxx, L.L.P., counsel to the Company to the effect
that:
(i) the Company is organized in conformity with the requirements
for qualification and taxation as a real estate investment trust (a
"REIT") under the Code, effective for its taxable year beginning
January 1, 1999, and the Company's current and proposed method of
operation (including the assets that it holds directly and indirectly
through the Operating Partnership) will enable it to meet the
requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code
for taxable year 1999 and thereafter;
(ii) The Leases will be respected as leases for federal income tax
purposes. Such opinion will define the term "Leases" as all real
estate leases on the hotels in which the Operating Partnership has a
direct or, through a Subsidiary Partnership, indirect interest and
pursuant to which the Operating Partnership or a Subsidiary
Partnership, as lessor or sublessor, leases a hotel to a lessee or
sublessee, respectively, and shall state that such term includes,
without limitation, the lease of the Marriott Harbor Beach Resort from
Lauderdale Beach Association to Marriott Hotel Services, Inc. (the
"Harbor Beach Resort Lease"); and will define the term "Subsidiary
Partnership" as each partnership, limited liability company or other
entity treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes
14
in which either the Company or the Operating Partnership has a direct
or indirect interest;
(iii) The discussion in the Base Prospectus under the heading
"Federal Income Tax Considerations," to the extent that it describes
matters of federal income tax law, is correct in all material
respects;
(iv) The Merger qualified as a reorganization within the meaning
of Section 368(a) of the Code, and no gain or loss was required to be
recognized by either the Company or Host Marriott Corporation, a
Delaware corporation and the predecessor to the Company, solely by
reason of the Merger.
(v) Based upon, and subject to, and limited by the assumptions and
qualifications set forth in such opinion, such counsel confirms their
opinions described in the Base Prospectus under the caption "Federal
Income Tax Considerations", as such opinions were set forth in their
opinion letter to the Company dated December 29, 1998 that was filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement.
(f) The Underwriters shall have received on the Closing Date an
opinion of Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxxx & Ingersoll, LLP, special Maryland counsel
to the Company, to the effect that:
(i) the Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing
under the laws of the State of Maryland and is in good standing with
the SDAT; and the Company has the corporate power to own, lease and
operate its current properties and to conduct its business as
described in the Prospectus under the heading "The Company" and to
enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement;
(ii) the authorized stock of the Company conforms in all material
respects to the description thereof contained in the Prospectus;
(iii) the Shares have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate action on the part of the Company for issuance and sale to
the Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement and, when issued and
delivered by the Company pursuant to this Agreement against payment of
the consideration set forth herein, will be validly issued, fully paid
and non-assessable; and the issuance of the Shares is not subject to
preemptive rights arising by operation of the laws of the State of
Maryland or under the charter or bylaws of the Company;
(iv) the form of certificate used to represent the Shares complies
in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the laws
of the State of Maryland and the charter and bylaws of the Company;
(v) the execution and delivery by the Company of, and the
performance by the Company of its obligations under, this Agreement
(including the issuance and sale of the Shares to the Underwriters) do
not result in any
15
violation of the provisions of the charter or by-laws of the Company
or, so far as is known to us, any applicable provision of any Maryland
law, statute, administrative regulation or administrative or court
decree applicable to the Company;
(vi) no consent, approval, authorization or order of, or
qualification with, any Maryland state governmental authority or
agency (other than may be required under Maryland securities or blue
sky laws) is required in connection with the authorization, execution
or delivery of this Agreement or the Articles Supplementary or for the
offering, issuance or sale of the Shares as contemplated by this
Agreement, or the application by the Company of the net proceeds from
the sale of the Shares as described in the Prospectus under the
caption "Use of Proceeds", except for the filing of the Articles
Supplementary with, and the acceptance thereof for record by, the SDAT
(which filing has been made with and accepted for record by the SDAT
in accordance with the MGCL);
(vii) We have reviewed the information (A) in the Prospectus
Supplement under the caption "Description of the Class A Preferred
Stock", (B) in the base prospectus under the captions "Risk Factors--
We Have Adopted Maryland Law Limitations on Changes in Control", "Risk
Factors--Maryland Control Share Acquisition Law Could Delay or Prevent
a Change in Control", "Description of Common Stock", "Restrictions on
Ownership and Transfer" and, to the extent not superceded by the
discussion under "Description of the Class A Preferred Stock" in the
Prospectus Supplement, "Description of Preferred Stock", and (C) in
the 1998 10-K under the captions "Forward-Looking Statements--We have
adopted Maryland law limitation on changes in control" and "Forward-
Looking Statements--Maryland control share acquisition law could delay
or prevent a change in control", and in each case to the extent such
information constitutes matters of Maryland law, summaries of Maryland
legal matters, summaries of certain provisions of the Company's
charter or by-laws, the Articles Supplementary, the Shares or other
instruments or agreements governed by Maryland law, or legal
conclusions with respect to matters of Maryland law, such information
is correct in all material respects.
(g) The Underwriters shall have received on the Closing Date an
opinion of Xxxxx & Xxxx LLP, counsel for the Underwriters, dated the
Closing Date, with respect to validity of the Shares, with respect to the
Registration Statement and the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements
thereto, with respect to the matters set forth in the immediately
succeeding paragraph, with respect to the authorization, execution and
delivery of this Agreement, and with respect to such other matters you may
reasonably request, and such counsel shall have received such documents and
information as they may reasonably request to enable them to pass upon such
matters.
In addition to the opinions set forth above in Sections 5(c) and 5(d),
respectively, Xxxxxxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx will each also
state that such counsel has participated in conferences with officers and
other representatives of the Company, representatives of the independent
public accountants for the Company, and
16
representatives of the Underwriters, at which the contents of the
Registration Statement and the Prospectus and related matters were
discussed and, although such counsel may state that such counsel is not
passing upon, and does not assume any responsibility for the accuracy,
completeness or fairness of, the statements contained or incorporated by
reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and such counsel
has not made any independent check or verification thereof (except as set
forth in Section 5(c)(vii) and 5(d)(iv), respectively), during the course
of such participation, no facts came to such counsel's attention that have
caused such counsel to believe that the Registration Statement, at the time
it became effective, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or
omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein not misleading, or that the Prospectus as of
its date or as of the date of such opinion, contained or contains an untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that
such counsel may state that they express no belief with respect to the
financial statements, schedules and other financial and statistical data
included or incorporated by reference in or omitted from the Registration
Statement or the Prospectus.
The opinions of Xxxxxxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx &
Xxxxxxx, L.L.P. and Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxxx, LLP described in
Sections 5(c), 5(d), 5(e) and 5(f) above shall be rendered to the
Underwriters at the request of the Company and the Operating Partnership
and shall so state therein and shall further state, solely in the case of
those opinions of counsel which refer to subsidiaries of the Company, that
all references in such opinions to "subsidiaries" of the Company include,
without limitation, the Operating Partnership and the Non-Controlled
Subsidiaries. In addition, the opinion of Xxxxxxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx shall
state that it covers matters arising under the laws of the State of
Maryland, the general corporation law of the State of Delaware (the
"DGCL"), the Partnership Act, the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act
and the federal laws of the United States, and shall further state that, to
the extent that the opinion set forth in Section 5(c)(vi) relates to any
instrument or agreement which is governed by the laws of any other
jurisdiction, such counsel has assumed that the laws of such other
jurisdiction are in all relevant respects identical to the laws of the
State of Maryland; the opinion of Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx shall state that it
covers matters arising under the laws of the State of New York, the
Partnership Act and the federal laws of the United States, and shall
further state that, in rendering the opinion set forth in Section
5(d)(iv)(which may be set forth in a separate legal opinion), such counsel
has relied upon the opinion of Xxxxx & Xxxxxxx L.L.P. delivered pursuant to
Section 5(e) of this Agreement; the opinion of Xxxxx & Xxxxxxx, L.L.P.
shall state that it covers matters arising under the federal laws of the
United States and that Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx, in rendering their legal opinion
pursuant to Section 5(d)(iv) of this Agreement, may rely upon such opinion
as if it were addressed to them; and the opinion of Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxxx &
Ingersoll, LLP shall state that it covers matters arising under the laws of
the State of Maryland and shall further state that Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx and
Xxxxx & Wood llp, in rendering their legal opinions pursuant to this
Agreement, may rely upon such opinion as if it were addressed to them as to
all matters arising under or governed by the laws of the State of Maryland.
(h) The Company shall have duly filed the Articles Supplementary with
the SDAT prior to the Closing Date and you shall have received evidence of
such filing
17
satisfactory to you; and, concurrently with the issuance and sale of the
Shares to the Underwriters, the Operating Partnership shall have issued and
sold to the Company Preferred Units with an aggregate liquidation
preference equal to the aggregate liquidation preference of such Shares.
(i) The Underwriters shall have received, on each of the date hereof
and on the Closing Date, a letter dated the date hereof or the Closing
Date, as the case may be, in form and substance satisfactory to the
Underwriters, from Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx llp, independent public accountants,
containing statements and information of the type ordinarily included in
accountants' "comfort letters" to underwriters with respect to the
financial statements of the Company and of the Blackstone properties and
certain financial information contained and incorporated by reference in
the Registration Statement and the Prospectus; provided that the letter
delivered on the Closing Date shall use a "cut-off date" not earlier than
the date hereof.

subject to official notice of issuance.
The several obligations of the Underwriters to purchase Additional Shares
hereunder are subject to the delivery to you on the Option Closing Date of such

Company and the Operating Partnership, the due authorization and issuance of the
Additional Shares and other matters related to the issuance of the Additional
Shares (including, without limitation, updated legal opinions, comfort letters
and officers' certificates).

consideration of the agreements of the Underwriters herein contained, the
Company and the Operating Partnership jointly and severally covenant with each
Underwriter as follows:
(a) To furnish to you, without charge, six signed copies of the

18
(c) If, during such period after the first date of the public
offering of the Shares as in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters
the Prospectus is required by law to be delivered in connection with sales
by an Underwriter or dealer, any event shall occur or condition exist as a
result of which it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus in
order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
when the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, not misleading, or if, in
the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters, it is necessary to amend or
supplement the Prospectus to comply with applicable law, forthwith to
prepare, file with the Commission and furnish, at its own expense, to the
Underwriters and to the dealers (whose names and addresses you will furnish
to the Company) to which Shares may have been sold by you on behalf of the
Underwriters and to any other dealers upon request, either amendments or
supplements to the Prospectus so that the statements in the Prospectus as
so amended or supplemented will not, in the light of the circumstances when
the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, be misleading or so that the
Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, will comply with law.
(d) To endeavor to qualify the Shares for offer and sale under the
securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as you shall reasonably
request.

regulations of the Commission thereunder.
(f) Contemporaneously with each issuance of Shares hereunder, the
Company will contribute the net proceeds from the sale of such Shares to

net proceeds, the Operating Partnership will issue to the Company Preferred
Units with an aggregate liquidation preference equal to the aggregate
liquidation preference of such Shares, and the terms of such Preferred
Units will be substantially equivalent to the economic terms of such Shares
purchased by the Underwriters. The Operating Partnership will apply such
net proceeds as set forth under the caption "Use of Proceeds" in the
Prospectus Supplement.
(g) To use their best efforts to effect the listing of the Shares on
the NYSE.

of the Company's and the Operating Partnership's respective counsel and
accountants in connection with the registration and delivery of the Shares
under the Securities Act and all other fees or expenses in connection with

Underwriters incurred in connection with the review and qualification, if
any, of the offering of the Shares by the National Association of

preparation and filing of the registration statement on Form 8-A relating
to the Shares and all costs and expenses incident to listing the Shares on
the NYSE, (vi) the cost of printing certificates representing the Shares,
(vii) the costs and charges of any transfer agent, registrar or depositary,
(viii) the costs and expenses of the Company and the Operating Partnership
relating to investor presentations on any "road show" undertaken in

all other costs and expenses incident to the performance of the obligations

of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company will, within 24 hours
after request by the Representatives, pay expenses incurred by the
Underwriters in connection with this Agreement and the offering of the
Shares in an amount not to exceed $285,000, such payment to be made by wire
transfer of immediately available funds; provided that any expenses payable
by the Company pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be
excluded in determining the dollar amount of expenses payable by the
Company under this sentence; and provided, further, that no payment shall
be required by the Company pursuant to this sentence unless the
Underwriters shall have purchased the Firm Shares. It is understood,
however, that except as provided in this Section, Section 7 entitled
"Indemnity and Contribution", and the last paragraph of Section 9 below,
the Underwriters will pay all of their costs and expenses, including fees
and disbursements of their counsel, stock transfer taxes payable on resale
of any of the Shares by them and any advertising expenses connected with
any offers they may make.
7. Indemnity and Contribution.
(a) The Company and the Operating Partnership jointly and severally
agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter and each person, if any,
who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any and all
losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or
investigating any action or claim) caused by any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or
any amendment to the Registration
20
Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (as amended or
supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements
thereto), or caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities are caused by any such untrue statement or omission or alleged
untrue statement or omission based upon information relating to any Underwriter
furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through you expressly
for use therein; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement with
-------- -------
respect to any preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any
Underwriter from whom the person asserting any such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities purchased Shares, or any person controlling such Underwriter, if a
copy of the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented if the Company shall
have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto but excluding documents
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein) was not sent or
given by or on behalf of such Underwriter to such person, if required by law so
to have been delivered, at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of
the Shares to such person, and if the Prospectus (as so amended or supplemented)
would have cured the defect giving rise to such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities, unless such failure is the result of noncompliance by the Company
with Section 6(a) hereof.
(b) Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and
hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers who sign the Registration
Statement, the Operating Partnership and each person, if any, who controls the
Company or the Operating Partnership within the meaning of either Section 15 of
the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the
foregoing indemnity from the Company and the Operating Partnership to such
Underwriter, but only with reference to information relating to such Underwriter
furnished to the Company in writing by such Underwriter through you expressly
for use in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the
Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto.
(c) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation)
shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be
sought pursuant to Section 7(a) or 7(b), such person (the "indemnified party")
shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the
"indemnifying party") in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the
indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the
indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and
disbursements of such counsel related to such proceeding. In any such
proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own
counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of
such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified
party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the
named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include
both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both
parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential
differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party
shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in
connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction,
be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition
to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties and that all such fees
and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be
designated in writing by Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. Incorporated, in the case of
parties indemnified
21
pursuant to Section 7(a), and by the Company, in the case of parties indemnified
pursuant to Section 7(b). The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any
settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if
settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the
indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against
any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding
the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested
an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses
of counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this paragraph,
the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any
proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is
entered into more than 60 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the
aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the
indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such
settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of
the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened
proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a
party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party,
unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified
party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such
proceeding. The obligations and agreements of the Company and the Operating
Partnership under this Section 7(c) are joint and several.
(d) To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 7(a) or
7(b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any
losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each
indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such
indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by
such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
benefits received by the Company and the Operating Partnership on the one hand
and the Underwriters on the other hand from the offering of the Shares or (ii)
if the allocation provided by clause 7(d)(i) above is not permitted by
applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the
relative benefits referred to in clause 7(d)(i) above but also the relative
fault of the Company and the Operating Partnership on the one hand and of the
Underwriters on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions
that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any
other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the
Company and the Operating Partnership on the one hand and the Underwriters on
the other hand in connection with the offering of the Shares shall be deemed to
be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of
the Shares (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the total
underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each
case as set forth in the table on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the
aggregate Public Offering Price of the Shares. The relative fault of the Company
and the Operating Partnership on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other
hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged
omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company
or the Operating Partnership or by the Underwriters and the parties' relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent
such statement or omission. The obligations of the Company and the Operating
Partnership to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are joint and several. The
Underwriters' respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7
are several in proportion to the respective number of Shares they have purchased
hereunder, and not joint.
22
(e) The Company, the Operating Partnership and the Underwriters agree
that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section
7 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated
as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does
not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 7(d).
The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses,
claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding
paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth
above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party
in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, no Underwriter shall be
required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total
price at which the Shares underwritten by it and distributed to the public were
offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter
has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 7 are
not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be
available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.
(f) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this
Section 7 and the representations, warranties and other statements of the
Company and the Operating Partnership contained in this Agreement shall remain
operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this
Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any
person controlling any Underwriter or by or on behalf of the Company, its
officers or directors or any person controlling the Company or by or on behalf
of the Operating Partnership, its partners or any person controlling the
Operating Partnership and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Shares.
If any indemnified party shall suffer or incur any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any action or
claim) caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact contained in any Prior Registration Statement (as defined below) or any
amendment thereto in connection with the offering of the Shares or any of the
other matters contemplated by this Agreement, or if any proceeding (including
any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving an indemnified
party based thereon or in connection therewith, then all references to the
Registration Statement and any amendments or supplements thereto contained in
this Section 7 and in the representations and warranties of the Company and the
Operating Partnership in this Agreement and all references to the effective date
of the Registration Statement shall also be deemed to refer, respectively, to
such Prior Registration Statement (including the documents incorporated or
deemed to be incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3)
and any amendments or supplements thereto and to the effective date of such
Prior Registration Statement, mutatis mutandis. As used in this Agreement, the
term "Prior Registration Statement" means any registration statement (other than
the Registration Statement) filed by the Company or Host Marriott Corporation, a
Delaware corporation, with the Commission.
8. Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination by notice
given by you to the Company, if (a) after the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been
suspended or materially limited on or by, as the case may be, any of the New
York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, the
23
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., the Chicago Board of Options
Exchange, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange or the Chicago Board of Trade, (ii)
trading of any securities of the Company shall have been suspended on any
exchange or in any over-the-counter market, (iii) a general moratorium on
commercial banking activities in New York shall have been declared by either
Federal or New York State authorities or (iv) there shall have occurred any
outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any
calamity or crisis that, in your judgment, is material and adverse and (b) in
the case of any of the events specified in clauses 8(a)(i) through 8(a)(iv),
such event, singly or together with any other such event, makes it, in your
judgment, impracticable to market the Shares on the terms and in the manner
contemplated in the Prospectus.
9. Effectiveness; Defaulting Underwriters. This Agreement shall become
effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.
If, on the Closing Date or the Option Closing Date, as the case may be, any
one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Shares that it
has or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date, and the aggregate
number of Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but
failed or refused to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate number
of the Shares to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters shall be
obligated severally in the proportions that the number of Firm Shares set forth
opposite their respective names in Schedule I bears to the aggregate number of
Firm Shares set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting
Underwriters, or in such other proportions as you may specify, to purchase the
Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or
refused to purchase on such date; provided that in no event shall the number of
Shares that any Underwriter has agreed to purchase pursuant to this Agreement be
increased pursuant to this Section 9 by an amount in excess of one-ninth of such
number of Shares without the written consent of such Underwriter. If, on the
Closing Date, any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase
Firm Shares and the aggregate number of Firm Shares with respect to which such
default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of Firm Shares to
be purchased, and arrangements satisfactory to you and the Company for the
purchase of such Firm Shares are not made within 36 hours after such default,
this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-
defaulting Underwriter or the Company. In any such case either you or the
Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event for
longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the
Registration Statement and in the Prospectus or in any other documents or
arrangements may be effected. If, on the Option Closing Date, any Underwriter
or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Additional Shares and the
aggregate number of Additional Shares with respect to which such default occurs
is more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of Additional Shares to be
purchased, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall have the option to (i)
terminate their obligation hereunder to purchase Additional Shares or (ii)
purchase not less than the number of Additional Shares that such non-defaulting
Underwriters would have been obligated to purchase in the absence of such
default. Any action taken under this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting
Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such Underwriter under
this Agreement.
If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriters, or any of them,
because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company or the Operating
Partnership to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this
Agreement, or if for any reason the Company or
24
the Operating Partnership shall be unable to perform its obligations under this
Agreement, the Company and the Operating Partnership will, jointly and
severally, reimburse the Underwriters or such Underwriters as have so terminated
this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for all out-of-pocket
expenses (including the fees and disbursements of their counsel) reasonably
incurred by such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement or the offering
contemplated hereunder.
10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the
signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.
11. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York.
12. Headings. The headings of the sections of this Agreement have been
inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed a part of
this Agreement.
