ARTICLE 1

Section 1.01 Nature of Supplemental Indenture. This Forty-Second Supplemental Indenture supplements the Indenture and does and shall be deemed to form a part of, and shall be construed in connection with and as part of, the Indenture for any and all purposes.

Section 1.02 Establishment of New Series. Pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Indenture, there is hereby established the Series A Notes and the Series B Notes (collectively, the “5.25% Notes”) having the terms, in addition to those set forth in the Indenture and this Forty-Second Supplemental Indenture, set forth in the form of 5.25% Notes, attached to this Forty-Second Supplemental Indenture as Exhibit A, which is incorporated herein as a part of this Forty-Second Supplemental Indenture. In addition to the initial aggregate principal amount of Series A Notes issued on the Series Issue Date, the Company may issue additional Series A Notes (the “Additional Notes”) under the Indenture and this Forty-Second Supplemental Indenture in accordance with Section 2.2 of the Indenture and Section 4.7 of the Indenture, as supplemented by Section 5.01 below of this Forty-Second Supplemental Indenture.

Section 1.03 Redemption.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, within the period beginning 90 days prior to their Stated Maturity, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, the Company may redeem the 5.25% Notes in whole or in part, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the applicable Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date that is on or prior to the applicable Redemption Date).

(d) Notice of a redemption of the 5.25% Notes made pursuant to this Section 1.03 shall be given in the manner set forth in Section 3.3 of the Indenture; provided, however, that any such notice need not set forth the Redemption Price but need only set forth the calculation thereof as described in subsection (a) of this Section 1.03. The Redemption Price, calculated as aforesaid, shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered by the Company to the Trustee no later than one Business Day prior to the Redemption Date.

(e) The Company is not prohibited from acquiring the 5.25% Notes by means other than a redemption, whether pursuant to an issuer tender offer, in open market transactions, or otherwise, assuming such acquisition does not otherwise violate the terms of the Indenture.

ARTICLE 2

Section 2.01 “Subsidiary Guarantors” means, with respect to the 5.25% Notes, any Future Subsidiary Guarantors that provide a Subsidiary Guarantee with respect to the 5.25% Notes pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, but excluding any Persons whose Guarantees have been released pursuant to the terms of the Indenture. The provisions of Article 12 of the Indenture will be applicable to the 5.25% Notes.

Section 2.02 The second sentence of the definition of “Subsidiary Guarantee” set forth in Section 1.1 of the Indenture shall read, for purposes of the 5.25% Notes, as follows: “Each Subsidiary Guarantee with respect to the 5.25% Notes will be a senior obligation of the Subsidiary Guarantor and will be full and unconditional regardless of the enforceability of the 5.25% Notes, the Forty-Second Supplemental Indenture or the Indenture.”

ARTICLE 3

Section 3.01 Subject to the further provisions of this Article 3 and Article 5 of this Forty-Second Supplemental Indenture, the covenants set forth in Article 4 of the Indenture shall be applicable to the 5.25% Notes. By virtue of the occurrence of the REIT Conversion, Section 4.15 of the Indenture (as replaced and superseded by Section 5.03 of this Forty-Second Supplemental Indenture) is applicable, and Section 4.9 of the Indenture is inapplicable, to the 5.25% Notes.

Section 3.03 Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that one or both of the Rating Agencies withdraws its ratings or downgrades the ratings assigned to the 5.25% Notes below the required Investment Grade, the foregoing covenants will be reinstated as of and from the date of such withdrawal or ratings downgrade (and as supplemented, amended or replaced and superseded as of the date hereof). Calculations under the reinstated Section 5.03 of this Forty-Second Supplemental Indenture will be made as if Section 5.03 of this Forty-Second Supplemental Indenture had been in effect since the Series Issue Date except that no Default or Event of Default will be deemed to have occurred solely by reason of a Restricted Payment made while that covenant was suspended.

Section 3.04 For avoidance of doubt, the definition of “GAAP” contained in the Indenture shall apply in all instances to the 5.25% Notes and the provisions of Section 1.4(c) of the Indenture shall not apply in any instance to the 5.25% Notes.

Section 3.05 Section 9.1 of the Indenture is hereby supplemented by the following clause solely with respect to the 5.25% Notes:

Section 3.07 The second sentence of the penultimate paragraph of Section 10.1 of the Indenture, as supplemented by Section 3.06 hereof, shall read, for purposes of the 5.25% Notes, as follows:

“The Paying Agent shall on the Change of Control Payment Date or promptly thereafter deliver or cause to be delivered to Holders of Securities so accepted payment in an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment (together with accrued and unpaid interest) for such Securities (subject to clause (b)(4) above), and the Trustee or its authenticating agent shall promptly authenticate and the Registrar shall deliver (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to such Holders a new Security equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Security surrendered; provided, however, that each such new Security will be in a principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof. Any Securities not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Company to the Holder thereof. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the consummation thereof.”

To the extent that the aggregate amount of Securities and other senior Indebtedness tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes. If the aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) of Securities and such other Indebtedness tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Securities to be purchased and such other Indebtedness shall be selected on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of such Offer to Purchase, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

Notwithstanding, and without complying with, any of the foregoing provisions:

(1) the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and any Restricted Subsidiary may, in the ordinary course of business, convey, sell, lease, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of inventory acquired and held for resale in the ordinary course of business;

(2) the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and any Restricted Subsidiary may convey, sell, lease, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of assets pursuant to and in accordance with Article 5 and Section 4.13 of the Indenture;

(4) the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and any Restricted Subsidiary may exchange assets held by the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary for one or more real estate properties and/or one or more Related Businesses of any Person or entity owning one or more real estate properties and/or one or more Related Businesses; provided that the Board of the Company has determined in good faith that the fair market value of the assets received by the Company are approximately equal to the fair market value of the assets exchanged by the Company.

No transaction listed in clauses (1) through (4) inclusive shall be deemed to be an “Asset Sale.”

1. Interest.

Host Hotels & Resorts, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (hereinafter called the “Company,” which term includes any successors under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at the rate of 5.25% per annum from March 22, 2012 until maturity. To the extent it is lawful, the Company promises to pay interest on any interest payment due but unpaid on such principal amount at a rate of 5.25% per annum compounded semi-annually.

The Company will pay interest semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing September 15, 2012. Interest on the 5.25% Securities will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid on the Securities, from the date of the original issuance. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

2. Method of Payment.

The Company shall pay interest on the 5.25% Securities (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are the registered Holders at the close of business on the Record Date immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date. Holders must surrender Securities to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. Principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the 5.25% Securities will be payable in United States Dollars at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose, in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York or at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders of the 5.25% Securities at the addresses set forth upon the registry books of the Company; provided, however, Holders of Global Securities will be entitled to receive interest payments (other than at maturity) by wire transfer of immediately available funds, if appropriate wire transfer instructions have been received in writing by the Trustee not fewer than 15 days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date. Such wire instructions, upon receipt by the Trustee, shall remain in effect until revoked by such Holder. No service charge will be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

⁶	To be included only on Transfer Restricted Notes.

3. Paying Agent and Registrar.

Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar without notice to the Holders. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may, subject to certain exceptions, act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar.

4. Indenture.

The Company issued the 5.25% Securities under an Amended and Restated Indenture, dated as of August 5, 1998, as supplemented (the “Indenture”), between the Company, certain Subsidiaries of the Company and the Trustee. Capitalized terms herein are used as defined in the Indenture unless otherwise defined herein. The 5.25% Securities are unlimited in aggregate principal amount. The terms of the 5.25% Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as in effect on the date of the Indenture. The 5.25% Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders of 5.25% Securities are referred to the Indenture and said Act for a statement of them. The Securities are senior, general obligations of the Company. Each Holder of this Security, by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by the provisions of the Indenture, (b) authorizes and directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be provided in the Indenture and (c) appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for such purpose.

5. Redemption.

At any time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, the Company may redeem the 5.25% Securities in whole or in part at any time at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the Make-Whole Premium, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the applicable Redemption Date. Notice of a redemption of the 5.25% Securities made pursuant to this paragraph 5 shall be given in the manner set forth in Section 3.3 of the Indenture; provided however, that any such notice need not set forth the Redemption Price but need only set forth the calculation thereof as described in the immediately preceding sentence of this paragraph 5. The Redemption Price, calculated as aforesaid, shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered by the Company to the Trustee no later than one Business Day prior to the Redemption Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, within the period beginning 90 days prior to their Stated Maturity, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice, the Company may redeem the 5.25% Securities in whole or in part, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the applicable Redemption Date (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Record Date to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date that is on or prior to the applicable Redemption Date).

A-6

The Company is not prohibited from acquiring the 5.25% Securities by means other than a redemption, whether pursuant to an issuer tender offer, in open market transactions, or otherwise, assuming such acquisition does not otherwise violate the terms of the Indenture.

The 5.25% Securities will not have the benefit of a sinking fund.

6. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange.

The 5.25% Securities are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000. A Holder may register the transfer of, or exchange 5.25% Securities in accordance with, the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange any 5.25% Securities (a) selected for redemption except the unredeemed portion of any 5.25% Security being redeemed in part or (b) for a period beginning 15 Business Days before the mailing of a notice of an offer to repurchase or redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing.

7. Persons Deemed Owners.

The registered Holder of a 5.25% Security may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.

8. Unclaimed Money.

If money for the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the Trustee and the Paying Agent(s) will pay the money back to the Company at its written request. After that, all liability of the Trustee and such Paying Agent(s) with respect to such money shall cease.

9. Discharge Prior to Redemption or Maturity.

Except as set forth in the Indenture, if the Company irrevocably deposits with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, U.S. legal tender, U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such 5.25% Securities on the stated date for payment thereof or on the redemption date of such principal or installment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on such 5.25% Securities, the Company will be discharged from certain provisions of the Indenture and the 5.25% Securities (including the restrictive covenants described in paragraph 11 below, but excluding its obligation to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the 5.25% Securities). Upon satisfaction of certain additional conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Company may elect to have its obligations and the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors, if applicable, discharged with respect to outstanding 5.25% Securities.

A-7

10. Amendment; Supplement; Waiver.

The Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee may enter into a supplemental indenture for certain limited purposes without the consent of the Holders. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the 5.25% Securities may be amended or supplemented with the written consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the 5.25% Securities then outstanding, and any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the 5.25% Securities then outstanding. Without notice to or consent of any Holder, the parties thereto may under certain circumstances amend or supplement the Indenture or the 5.25% Securities to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, or make any other change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder of a 5.25% Security.

11. Restrictive Covenants.

The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and any Restricted Subsidiary to, among other things, incur additional Indebtedness and issue Disqualified Stock, pay dividends or make certain other Restricted Payments, enter into certain transactions with Affiliates, incur Liens, sell assets and subsidiary stock, merge or consolidate with any other Person or transfer (by lease, assignment or otherwise) substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company. The limitations are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions and certain restrictive covenants will cease to be applicable under certain circumstances. The Company must periodically report to the Trustee on compliance with such limitations.

12. Repurchase at Option of Holder.

(a) If there is a Change of Control Triggering Event, the Company shall be required to offer irrevocably to purchase on the Change of Control Purchase Date all outstanding 5.25% Securities at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus (subject to the right of Holders of record on a Record Date that is on or prior to such Change of Control Purchase Date to receive interest due on the Interest Payment Date to which such Record Date relates) accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Change of Control Purchase Date. Holders of 5.25% Securities will receive a Change of Control Offer from the Company prior to any related Change of Control Purchase Date and may elect to have such 5.25% Securities purchased by completing the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” appearing below.

(b) The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control Triggering Event if (1) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all 5.25% Securities properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer, or (2) notice of redemption has been given pursuant to the Indenture as described above under paragraph 5, unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price.

A-8

(c) The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors or any Restricted Subsidiary to sell assets and subsidiary stock. In the event the Net Cash Proceeds from a permitted Asset Sale exceed certain amounts, as specified in the Indenture, the Company will be required either to reinvest the proceeds of such Asset Sale in a Related Business or other permitted investments, repay certain Indebtedness or to make an offer to purchase each Holder’s 5.25% Securities at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest, if any, to the purchase date. The limitations and the Company’s obligations with respect to the use of proceeds from an Asset Sale are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions and will cease to be applicable under certain circumstances.

13. Notation of Guarantee.

As set forth more fully in the Indenture, the Persons constituting Subsidiary Guarantors from time to time, in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, irrevocably and unconditionally and jointly and severally guarantee, in accordance with Section 12.1 of the Indenture, to the Holders and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, that (i) the principal of and interest on the 5.25% Securities will be paid, whether at the Stated Maturity or Interest Payment Dates, by acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee under the Indenture or this 5.25% Security will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and this 5.25% Security, and (ii) in the case of any extension of payment or renewal of this 5.25% Security or any of such other obligations, they will be paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal, whether at the Stated Maturity, as so extended, by acceleration or otherwise. Such Guarantees shall cease to apply, and shall be null and void, with respect to any such guarantor who, pursuant to Article 12 of the Indenture, is released from its Guarantees, or whose Guarantees otherwise cease to be applicable pursuant to the terms of the Indenture.

14. Successor.

When a successor assumes all the obligations of its predecessor under the 5.25% Securities and the Indenture, the predecessor will be released from those obligations.

15. Defaults and Remedies.

If an Event of Default with respect to the 5.25% Securities occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company), then either the Trustee or the Holders of 25% in aggregate principal amount of the 5.25% Securities then outstanding may declare all 5.25% Securities to be due and payable immediately in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. Holders of 5.25% Securities may not enforce the Indenture or the 5.25% Securities, except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the 5.25% Securities. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding 5.25% Securities may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power

A-9

with respect to such 5.25% Securities. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of 5.25% Securities notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default in payment of principal or interest) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest.

16. Trustee and Agent Dealings with Company.

The Trustee and each Agent under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor or any of their Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with such Persons as if it were not the Trustee or such agent.

17. No Recourse Against Others.

No recourse for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the 5.25% Securities or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors in the Indenture, or in the 5.25% Securities or because of the creation of any Indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, partner, stockholder, officer, director, employee or controlling Person of the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors or of any successor Person thereof, except as an obligor or guarantor of the 5.25% Securities pursuant to the Indenture. Each Holder, by accepting the 5.25% Securities, waives and releases all such liability.
