ITEM 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors;
Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

(e) Compensatory arrangements of certain officers.

On August 6, 2009, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Marriott International, Inc. (the "Company") approved an amendment to the Marriott International, Inc. Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (the "EDC") that affects executives of the Company who are eligible to participate in the EDC, including its named executive officers. The amendment included the following changes.

For 2009 and subsequent years, the Company may make a new annual discretionary matching contribution on each participant's elective contributions equal to a percentage of the first two percent (2%) of the participant's compensation up to the limit on compensation defined under section 401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") ($245,000 for 2009). This new matching contribution is designed to coordinate with a projected reduction of matching contributions beginning with the 2010 plan year under the Marriott International, Inc. Employees' Profit Sharing, Retirement and Savings Plan and Trust (the "Profit Sharing Plan").

Annual discretionary Company matching contributions for 2009 and subsequent years shall be immediately one-hundred percent (100%) vested upon allocation to the EDC. Prior to amendment, the EDC provided that such contributions vested over a four-year service period.

Annual discretionary Company matching contributions for 2010 and subsequent years may be paid to participants in the form of either post-termination or in-service distribution. Prior to amendment, the EDC provided that such contributions could only be paid to participants following termination of employment.

Beginning December 29, 2009, all existing account balances and future contributions to the EDC shall be credited with hypothetical earnings at an annual rate of interest designated by the Company before the beginning of each year (5.5% in 2010). Previously, hypothetical earnings and losses were credited either with the Company-designated rate of interest if elected by the participant (in 2009), or by reference to certain benchmark investment funds selected by participants under the plan.

These amendments are not intended to, nor under current law expected to, significantly increase the combined total annual company contributions to the EDC and Profit Sharing Plan.

Prior to and after amendment, for any participants whose annual compensation equals or exceeds the section 401(a)(17) compensation limit, the Company also may make an annual discretionary matching contribution equal to a percentage of the first three percent (3%) of the participant's compensation, or, for any participants whose annual compensation exceeds a higher dollar compensation threshold established by the EDC administrator, the Company may make an annual discretionary matching contribution equal to a percentage of the first six percent (6%) of the participant's compensation.
