The following table presents the components of net periodic benefit cost and the impact of the plan
curtailments and settlements for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 (in millions):

Net periodic benefit cost............... $ 1 $ 1 $ 1 $ 1 $ 9 $ 9 $ 1 $ 1 $ 1
For measurement purposes, an 8% annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits
was assumed for 2011, gradually decreasing to 5% in 2016. A one-percentage point change in assumed health care
cost trend rates would have approximately a $0.6 million effect on the postretirement obligation and a nominal
impact on the total of service and interest cost components of net periodic benefit cost. The majority of participants
in the Foreign Pension Plans are employees of managed hotels, for which the Company is reimbursed for costs
related to their benefits. The impact of these reimbursements is not reflected above.
The weighted average assumptions used to determine benefit obligations at December 31 were as follows:

Expected return on plan assets ........ n/a n/a n/a 6.56% 6.25% 6.38% 7.10% 7.50% 7.50%
A number of factors were considered in the determination of the expected return on plan assets. These factors
included current and expected allocation of plan assets, the investment strategy, historical rates of return and
Company and investment expert expectations for investment performance over approximately a ten year period.
