D. Starwood Preferred Guest Program Points and Rooms
In 2009, each Director received an annual grant of 750,000 Starwood Preferred Guest (“SPG”) Points to
encourage them to visit and personally evaluate our properties.
E. Other Compensation
The Company makes available to the Chairman of the Board administrative assistant services and health
insurance coverage on terms comparable to those available to Starwood executives until the Chairman turns
70 years old and thereafter on terms available to Company retirees (including required contributions). Mr. Duncan
elected to receive administrative services only in January 2009, and health coverage from the Company only in
January and February of 2009. The Company also reimburses Non-Employee Directors for travel expenses, other
out-of-pocket costs they incur when attending meetings and, for one meeting per year, expenses related to
attendance by spouses.
We have summarized the compensation paid by the Company to our Non-Employee Directors in 2009 in the
