AMENDED AND RESTATED HGV LICENSE AGREEMENT

This AMENDED AND RESTATED HGV LICENSE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), dated as of March 10, 2021 (the “Amendment Date”), is entered into by and between Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Licensor”), and Hilton Grand Vacations Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Licensee”). Each of Licensor and Licensee is referred to herein as a “Party” and collectively, as the “Parties.”

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, Licensor, Park Hotels & Resorts Inc., a Delaware corporation (“PHRI”), and Licensee entered into that certain Distribution Agreement, dated as of January 2, 2017 (the “Distribution Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, Licensor and Licensee separated into independent, publicly traded companies;

WHEREAS, in connection with the execution of the Distribution Agreement, the Parties entered into the HGV License Agreement, dated as of January 2, 2017 (the “Original Agreement” and the date of such Original Agreement, the “Effective Date”), pursuant to which Licensor, which, directly or indirectly, owns the Licensed IP and possesses the Hilton Data (as defined herein), licensed the Licensed IP and Hilton Data to Licensee for use in its Vacation Ownership Business subject to the terms and conditions of the Original Agreement;

WHEREAS, Licensee intends to acquire that certain Vacation Ownership Business of Diamond Resorts International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Diamond”), pursuant to that Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated March 10, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Licensee, Hilton Grand Vacations Borrower LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Licensor (“Merger Sub” or “HGV Borrower”), Dakota Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Dakota”), and the stockholders of Dakota;

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the “Effective Time” of the Merger (as defined and specified therein), Dakota will merge with and into Merger Sub (such merger, the “Merger,” the closing of such Merger, the “Closing”);

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Original Agreement, Hilton has provided its prior written consent to the Transaction, as required by Section 9.2 and Section 9.3 therein, as more fully set forth in such consent (the “Consent”); and

WHEREAS, in furtherance of the Merger and recognition of the necessity to gradually integrate the Diamond Business with the business of Licensee (the “Integration”), the Parties desire to amend and restate the Original Agreement to facilitate the Integration and make certain other modifications to the Original Agreement by entering into this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
LICENSES

Section 1.1 Trademark License.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions herein, during the Term, Licensor hereby grants to Licensee a license to use the Licensed Marks as Trademarks in the Territory in connection with the current and future operation of the Licensed Vacation Ownership Business. Such license shall be exclusive for the Term. For clarity, (i) the above license covers only the exact Licensed Marks, and Licensee may not use the term “Hilton” standing alone or, except as permitted by the Licensor Brand Identity Guidelines any variations, derivatives, abbreviations or stylizations of the Licensed Marks, in each case, without Licensor’s prior written consent, and (ii) the above exclusivity means that, during the Term, Licensor will not use (or allow others to use) the Licensed Marks in connection with the Licensed Vacation Ownership Business.

(b) Without the prior written consent of Licensor, Licensee shall not (i) bid for, purchase, register or use the term “Hilton” or any other Trademark owned by Licensor or its Subsidiaries as or as part of any key word, ad word, metatag or similar device designed to attract viewers or users in online, social, mobile or other media or (ii) link to or frame any website, online, social or mobile media property or venue of Licensor that Licensee is not already linking to or framing as of the Effective Date, regardless of whether the foregoing constitutes trademark use under applicable Laws.

(c) Licensee hereby grants to Licensor and its Subsidiaries a non-exclusive sublicense during the Term to (i) use the Licensed Marks and (ii) use and exercise the intellectual property rights in the Licensed Content, in each case, to the extent necessary to advertise and promote the Licensed Vacation Ownership Business on Licensee’s behalf during the Term. Licensee may further sublicense the above license in connection with the foregoing.

Section 1.2 Content License

. Subject to the terms and conditions herein, during the Term, Licensor hereby grants to Licensee a license to use, reproduce, distribute, perform and display the Licensed Content in the Territory solely in connection with the current and future operation of the Licensed Vacation Ownership Business. Such license shall be exclusive for the Noncompetition Term and non-exclusive for the remainder of the Term. Licensee may modify Licensed Content for format or technical reasons, but may not make substantive or artistic changes thereto, without Licensor’s prior written consent.

Section 1.3 Software Licenses.

(a) Licensor hereby at its option (i) grants to Licensee a non-exclusive sublicense or (ii) agrees to cause an Affiliate to grant to Licensee a non-exclusive license, in each case, during the Term to use the Licensed Software in connection with the Licensed Vacation Ownership Business. Licensee shall comply with all terms and conditions of the applicable license or sublicense (which shall be equivalent in all material respects to the then-

current version of the Hilton Information Technology System Agreement) in connection with such use.

(b) Licensor hereby grants to Licensee the non-exclusive right during the Term to access the Licensed System and provide the Licensed System with information as to the current inventory of vacant rooms at Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties.

Section 1.4 Data Access

. Subject to the terms and conditions herein, Licensor hereby grants to Licensee the rights to use the Hilton Data as set forth in Section 14.2(b).

Section 1.5 Marketing Rights

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions herein, during the Noncompetition Term, Licensor hereby grants to Licensee the right to market the Licensed Vacation Ownership Business at Licensor’s corporate-level advertising channels, including websites and social media properties (but not the channels of individual Hilton-branded properties). No additional fee or cost shall be payable by Licensee to Licensor for the marketing rights described in this Section 1.5(a).

(b) Licensee may request Licensor’s cooperation for additional marketing or resourcing, exclusively for marketing the Licensed Vacation Ownership Business; provided, that, Licensee will bear all actual costs and expenses associated therewith.

(c) The foregoing marketing rights in (a) and (b) are exclusive, meaning that during the Noncompetition Term, Licensor will not allow any other Person to market a Vacation Ownership Business through such channels.

Section 1.6 Brand Displays

. Licensor acknowledges and agrees that during the Noncompetition Term, Licensor shall, wherever legally permissible, include (i) the Licensed ▇▇▇▇ “▇▇▇▇▇▇ Grand Vacations” on its brand bar, and similar displays where Licensor advertises all of the Hilton Marks for the Licensor Lodging Business, and (ii) inventory of transient rentals for the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties in all proprietary and third-party advertising venues that list such inventory for the Licensor Lodging Business, in each case, in the same manner and quality Licensor provided prior to the date of this Agreement.

ARTICLE II
EXCLUSIVITY AND RESERVED RIGHTS

Section 2.1 [Intentionally Omitted]

Section 2.2 Exclusivity

(a) Until December 31, 2051 (the “Initial Noncompetition Term”), Licensor will not: (x) engage or license any Person to engage in the Vacation Ownership Business worldwide under any Trademark; (y) use or license any Person to use the Licensed IP or Hilton Data in connection with the Vacation Ownership Business; and/or (z) allow any

Person engaged in the Vacation Ownership Business, other than Licensee, to participate in the Loyalty Program.

(b) The Initial Noncompetition Term shall be extended for additional 10-year terms (each 10-year term, a “Renewal Noncompetition Term” and together with the Initial Noncompetition Term, the “Noncompetition Term”), if Licensee satisfies the criteria in either clause (i) or (ii) below in calendar year 2051 (or the final calendar year of any Renewal Noncompetition Term) (each, a “Measuring Year”):

(i) Licensee’s Gross Revenues in a Measuring Year must be equal to or greater than 80% of $1,493,000,000 USD (Licensee’s 2016 projected Gross Revenues) as inflated to such Measuring Year dollars by the CPI Adjustment. For example, if Licensee had 2016 Gross Revenues of $100 USD, and that translated into $300 in projected Gross Revenues in 2051 due to CPI Adjustments, Licensee’s minimum 2051 revenue to renew the Noncompetition Term until December 31, 2061 would be $240; or

(ii) Licensee must generate the sum of the Gross Sales Price and Fee For Services Sales Price in a Measuring Year that rank first, second or third among Vacation Ownership Business worldwide, based on revenues disclosed in audited financial reports for such Measuring Year (or a comparable mutually-agreed metric, if such annual contract sales are no longer publicly reported).

(c) If Licensee does not satisfy clause (i) or (ii) during a Measuring Year, Licensee may retain the Noncompetition Term for one year terms by paying Licensor 5% of the shortfall between Licensee’s actual Gross Revenues for the Measuring Year and 100% of Licensee’s projected Gross Revenues for the Measuring Year as set forth in clause (i) (each, a “Shortfall Payment”). The Shortfall Payment shall be due within 30 days after the end of the Measuring Year. For example, if Licensee had 2016 Gross Revenues of $100, and that translated into $300 in projected Gross Revenues in 2051 due to CPI Adjustments, and Licensee’s Gross Revenues were $220 in 2051, that would be a shortfall of $80, and Licensee would submit a Shortfall Payment of $80 times 5% for the Royalty, or $4.

(d) Licensee shall be allowed a maximum of five consecutive Shortfall Payments during any Renewal Noncompetition Term, with no carryover of unused Shortfall Payments into the next Renewal Noncompetition Term. If during any year of noncompetition afforded by a Shortfall Payment, Licensee satisfies clause (i) or (ii), the Noncompetition Term shall be extended by a 10-year Renewal Noncompetition Term beginning at the end of the prior Measuring Year. For example, if Licensee’s Gross Revenues are $220 in 2051, Licensee would make the above $4 Shortfall Payment for 2051, and if in 2052 Licensee’s Gross Revenues meet the target, the Noncompetition Term would renew until December 31, 2061. If after five consecutive Shortfall Payments, Licensee fails to satisfy clauses (i) or (ii), the Noncompetition Term expires on December 31st in the year in which the last Shortfall Payment was made.

(e) If the Noncompetition Term terminates under Section 2.2(a) or Section 2.6(a), Licensor shall notify Licensee of same in writing. Thereafter, Licensee will continue to be bound by its obligations in this Agreement including Article IX, but Licensor may (and may assist or allow other Persons to) engage in the Vacation Ownership Business in any form

and under any Trademark (other than “HGV,” “Hilton Grand Vacations,” “Hilton Grand Vacations Club,” or any New Brand) worldwide for the remainder of the Term.

Section 2.3 Licensor’s Reserved Rights

. Licensor reserves all rights not expressly licensed to Licensee hereunder, including without limitation, the right to Operate any business or properties and/or use the Licensed IP and Hilton Data in any manner that does not violate Licensee’s exclusive rights herein. Licensor may sell, assign or license the Hilton Marks (other than the Licensed Marks) without Licensee’s consent, and any acquirer, assignee or licensee shall have no obligation to Licensee herein.

Section 2.4 Licensee’s Reserved Rights

. Licensee reserves the right to engage in any activity worldwide not expressly prohibited in this Agreement.

Section 2.5 Similar Lines of Business

. Licensee may engage in the Fractional Vacation Club Business and the Whole Ownership Business, as a Separate Operation (or as part of the Licensed Vacation Ownership Business, subject to Licensor’s prior written consent), at any time during the Term. Licensor may engage in the Fractional Vacation Club Business and the Whole Ownership Business at any time during the Term.

Section 2.6 Licensor Transactions.

(a) Notwithstanding Section 2.2(a), if at any time during the Noncompetition Term, Licensor merges with or acquires direct or indirect Control of a Person that operates a Vacation Ownership Business as well as a Lodging Business (in either an equity or asset acquisition), Licensor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to allow Licensee to acquire or manage such acquired Vacation Ownership Business (the “Acquired Vacation Business”) as a Licensed Vacation Ownership Business herein. For the avoidance of doubt, Licensor has no obligation to include Licensee in any pre-closing discussions or negotiations with the third-party counter-party and may elect to present Licensee with the opportunity to acquire or manage the Acquired Vacation Business only after closing of the business transaction and, in either case, Licensor may proceed with the transaction whether or not Licensee acquires or manages the Acquired Vacation Business. For the avoidance of doubt, during the Noncompetition Term Licensor may not merge with or acquire direct or indirect Control of a Person that operates solely a Vacation Ownership Business.

(b) If Licensee does not acquire or manage the acquired Vacation Ownership Business: (i) Licensor shall have no further obligations to include Licensee in the ownership or management of the Acquired Vacation Business; (ii) Licensor may merge its Loyalty Program with the loyalty program of the Acquired Vacation Business and, notwithstanding the exclusivity and non-competition provisions herein, compete in the Vacation Ownership Business using the Hilton Marks (but not the Licensed Marks), Hilton Data and the Loyalty Program in connection with such Acquired Vacation Business; and (iii) during the Noncompetition Term, Licensor shall use Reasonable Best Efforts to continue to provide

Licensee the Licensed IP and Hilton Data on a basis comparable to Licensor’s past practice under this Agreement.

(c) If, on the closing date for the acquisition of the Acquired Vacation Business, 90% of all ownership interests, use rights, or other entitlements to use overnight accommodations in the Vacation Ownership Properties within such business (“Acquired Vacation Property Inventory”) have been sold to Persons for their own use such that the Acquired Vacation Property Inventory is not being actively marketed, during the Noncompetition Term, Licensor shall not use the Hilton Data to sell any newly created Acquired Vacation Property Inventory or develop new Vacation Ownership Properties under the Acquired Vacation Business unless Licensee is given the right of first offer to manage such properties. However, Licensor shall be permitted to use the Hilton Data to sell any existing unsold Acquired Vacation Property Inventory or existing Acquired Vacation Property Inventory that may become available through foreclosure or otherwise comes available to Licensor.

ARTICLE III
FEES

Section 3.1 Royalty Fees.

(a) (i) Subject to Section 3.1(d), Licensee shall pay to Licensor a royalty (the “Royalty”) for the rights granted to Licensee under this Agreement in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of Gross Revenues.

(ii) Except for the limited exception for Non-Licensed Existing Projects below, if Licensee develops Vacation Ownership Properties or acquires Vacation Ownership Properties from a Person other than a Hilton Competitor and they are not operated as Separate Operations, the Royalty shall apply to such Vacation Ownership Properties as if they were Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties, even if such properties are not Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties. The Royalty shall also apply to all Transient Rental Revenue at any Vacation Ownership Properties other than set forth in Section 3.1(d) that use the Licensed IP or Hilton Data. For clarity, Licensee shall not owe a Royalty arising out of its Vacation Ownership Properties that are operated as Separate Operations.

(iii) If Licensee permits Non-Licensed Existing Projects, or other non-licensed Vacation Ownership Properties with which Licensee has entered into a Marketing Agreement pursuant to Section 9.6(d), to be exchanged pursuant to an arrangement between the Licensed Exchange Program and a non-licensed Exchange Program whereby individual owners of the non-licensed Vacation Ownership Properties do not have full access to the Loyalty Program through the Licensed Exchange Program, then the Royalty shall be due only on the applicable Club Revenue portion of the Gross Revenue. If Hilton Data is used to market the sale of units at Non-Licensed Existing Projects, then the Royalty shall be due on Gross Sales Price, Club Revenue, and Marketing Package Revenues.

(b) A sale occurs for Royalty purposes pursuant to Section 3.1(a) with respect to the initial sale or re-sale of an interest in Licensed Vacation Ownership Property when all

of the following conditions have been satisfied, regardless of when, or whether, any part of the Gross Sales Price or Fee For Services Sales Price are actually paid to, or received by or on behalf of, Licensee.

(i) A written agreement (“Purchase Contract”) is executed by a purchaser and has been accepted by Licensee pursuant to which such purchaser contractually commits to acquire such interest;

(ii) With respect to purchase money financing provided by or through Licensee or its Affiliates, if any, such purchaser has duly executed all applicable sales and purchase money financing documents in respect of such Purchase Contract;

(iii) Such purchaser has duly tendered payment of the full purchase price in respect of such Purchase Contract (or full installments thereof in the case of purchase money financing, as applicable) by cash, by check which has cleared, or by credit card which has been duly processed) to either (x) Licensee or its Affiliates or (y) a fiduciary, escrow agent, trustee or other independent third-party designated by Licensee or its Affiliates, as may be required by applicable Laws;

(iv) All rescission periods applicable to such Purchase Contract have expired, without any such right of rescission having been exercised; and

(v) All pre-conditions set forth in such Purchase Contract and any legal requirements under the applicable Laws in order to close the transaction which is the subject of the Purchase Contract as set forth in such Purchase Contract shall have been duly satisfied, without the purchaser having exercised any right of cancellation afforded such purchaser under the terms of such Purchase Contract or under the applicable Laws.

(vi) To the extent that the sale of a Licensed Vacation Ownership Property meets (i) through (v) above, but such Licensed Vacation Ownership Property has not achieved a Certificate of Occupancy granted by relevant municipalities that approve the use by a purchaser of the Licensed Vacation Ownership Property, the sale for Royalty purposes will be multiplied by the Percentage of Completion. The Percentage of Completion will be calculated and applied to such Licensed Vacation Ownership Property each reporting period until such time that the Licensed Vacation Ownership Property achieves its Certificate of Occupancy, at which time and for all periods thereafter, the Percentage of Completion will be 100%.

(c) The Gross Sales Price or Fee For Services Sales Price shall, for purposes of calculating the Royalty under Section 3.1(a), exclude the amount attributable to a gross up for imputed interest associated with a zero percent (0%) or below market interest rate program used in relation to financing a purchaser’s acquisition of interests in a Licensed Vacation Ownership Property, but only where the Gross Sales Price or Fee For Services Sales Price is offered at different amounts to the customers on a programmatic basis, depending on the financing or payment terms selected by the customer.

(d) Royalty Related to Certain Diamond Business During Integration Period. Starting on the beginning of the Integration Period, Licensee shall pay to Licensor the

adjusted Royalty (“New Brand Royalty”) set for the below for all New Brand Gross Revenue in exchange for the rights granted to Licensee under this Agreement:

(i) During Year 1 of the Integration Period: 2.0%;

(ii) During Year 2 of the Integration Period: 2.0%;

(iii) During Year 3 of the Integration Period: 3.0%;

(iv) During Year 4 of the Integration Period: 4.0%; and

(v) During Year 5 of the Integration Period and thereafter: 5.0%.

(e) In addition to New Brand Royalty on New Brand Gross Revenues, Licensee shall pay to Licensor the adjusted Royalty for New Brand Eligible HOA Expenses in accordance with the following:

(i) During Year 1 of the Integration Period: 0.0%;

(ii) During Year 2 of the Integration Period: 0.5%;

(iii) During Year 3 of the Integration Period: 1.0%;

(iv) During Year 4 of the Integration Period: 1.5%; and

(v) During Year 5 of the Integration Period and thereafter: 1.5%

For the avoidance of doubt, the immediately preceding adjusted Royalty provision for New Brand Eligible HOA Expenses shall apply only to New Brand Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties resulting from the Diamond Properties Conversion in accordance with Section 5.2(d).

(f) For the purposes of Section 3.1(d) and (e), each “Year” is a 12-month period that begins on the first day of the month immediately following the month in which the Closing occurs and subsequent annual anniversaries of such date.

(g) For the avoidance of any doubt, the Royalty that is calculated pursuant to Sections 3.1(a) through 3.1(c) shall not apply to, and will be without any duplication of, any of the revenues that are used to calculate New Brand Royalty pursuant to Section 3.1(d) and the definition of “Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties” as used in Sections 3.1(a) through 3.1(c) shall not include any Diamond Properties that become Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties in accordance with Section 5.2.

Section 3.2 Additional Fees

. In addition to the Royalty, Licensee shall pay to Licensor:

(a) An annual transition fee for the first five years of the Term of $5 million per year.

(b) The then-current Loyalty Program fee for eligible guest folios, subject to caps in place as of the Effective Date for a period of twenty (20) years from the Effective Date. At the end of such twenty (20) year period, the caps will be eliminated and Licensee will pay the same Loyalty Program fee that is in effect for Licensor Lodging Properties. With respect to New Brand Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties, Licensee will pay the same Loyalty Program fee for eligible guest folios that is currently in effect for Licensor Lodging Properties.

Section 3.3 Other Costs

. Licensee shall pay Licensor fees covering Licensor’s proportionate costs for Licensee’s use of the Licensed Software. Licensee shall pay the non-refundable, up-front installation costs (if any) for the Licensed Software to be installed at any additional Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties, which shall include sales centers that are not in existence as of the Effective Date.

Section 3.4 Reimbursement

. Licensee shall reimburse Licensor for its costs (without profits) that would typically be covered by the Program Fee, including marketing campaigns in which Licensee participates under Section 9.5 or Section 9.6 below or enhancements to the Licensed Software that are provided to all of Licensor Lodging Properties, provided that Licensee will pay such costs only for services that Licensee uses. Licensee shall also reimburse Licensor for all costs associated with Call transfer services, GBCS Services used by Licensee, central delivery used by Licensee, third party reservation charges, guest assistance services and the handling of guest complaints, whether such guests are Loyalty Program members or not.

Section 3.5 Licensee Forecasts

. At least one month prior to the end of each of Licensor’s fiscal years during the Term, Licensee shall provide to Licensor a forecast of its projected Royalties, New Brand Royalties (if applicable), Gross Revenues (separated by the categories in the definition of “Gross Revenues” herein), and New Brand Gross Revenue (separated by the categories in the definition of “New Brand Gross Revenues” herein, if applicable) for Licensor’s upcoming fiscal year, and then after each fiscal year quarter during the Term, Licensee shall provide to Licensor the actual Royalties, any applicable New Brand Royalties, Gross Revenues, and any applicable New Brand Gross Revenue for such prior quarter and an updated rolling forecast of outstanding quarterly royalties for the remainder of Licensor’s then current fiscal year.

Section 3.6 Making of Payments

. The Royalty and all additional fees due in this Article III shall be paid within thirty (30) days following the end of each calendar quarter. All other payments herein shall be made within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice from Licensor. Licensee shall pay via a wire transfer (or other method reasonably designated by Licensor) of immediately available funds, pursuant to Licensor’s commercially reasonable instructions. All amounts payable to Licensor shall be invoiced in U.S. dollars unless Licensor otherwise designates another currency. The exchange rate shall be set each month by Licensor as taken from an international reporting service. Licensee shall submit to Licensor, within eight (8) business days after the end of each month, a statement in the form reasonably required by Licensor

that includes all Information required by Licensor to determine all due payments hereunder, and on a quarterly basis, such statement will also aggregate the amounts presented on the monthly statement itemizing the various revenue streams to Licensor that constitute the Royalty. Such Information is not Licensee’s Confidential Information and Licensor may use or disclose it for authorized business purposes.

EXISTING AND NEW PROJECTS

Section 5.1 Existing Projects

Section 5.2 New Projects.

(a) Except with respect to the conversion of Diamond Properties into New Brand Licensed Vacation Ownership Property, which is covered solely pursuant to Section 5.2(d), if Licensee notifies Licensor that it wishes to develop additional Vacation Ownership Properties that use Hilton Marks (other than the Licensed Marks) either alone or as co-branding with any Licensed Marks, it shall notify Licensor in writing by submitting to Licensor a written application that contains all material information with respect thereto. Licensor may, in its sole discretion, grant Licensee a license to use such additional Trademarks in connection therewith, pursuant to a separate agreement or an amendment to this Agreement.

(b) If Licensee notifies Licensor that it wishes to (i) develop or acquire additional Vacation Ownership Properties that would use the Licensed Marks or (ii) expand the scope or size of an existing Licensed Vacation Ownership Property (if such expansion was not included in the original proposal for the property approved by Licensor), it shall notify Licensor in writing by submitting to Licensor a written application that contains all material information with respect thereto. Licensor shall not unreasonably withhold its approval for such Vacation Ownership Properties to use the Licensed IP and Hilton Data (and upon such approval, such properties shall become “Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties” herein) if the proposed additional Vacation Ownership Property or proposed expansion to an existing Licensed Vacation Ownership Property (each, a “New Property”) and Licensee’s intended operation thereof complies with the then-current Standards and Agreements and:

(i) the development of the proposed New Property would not breach, or be reasonably likely to breach, any applicable Laws or agreement between Licensor or its Affiliates, including territorial restrictions or areas of protection;

(ii) the proposed New Property will not involve any co-investor that (a) is a Hilton Competitor, (b) is known in the community as being of bad moral character, (c) has been convicted in any court of a felony or other offense that could result in imprisonment for one (1) year or more or a fine or penalty of one million dollars ($1,000,000) (as adjusted annually after the Effective Date by the CPI Adjustment) or more (or is in Control of or Controlled by Persons who have been convicted in any court of felonies or such offenses), or (d) is (or has an Affiliate that is) a Blocked Person; and

(iii) the proposed New Property is not reasonably likely to harm Licensor, the Licensed IP, the Hilton Data or the goodwill associated therewith.

(c) Licensor shall provide the plans and specifications for each New Project to Licensor for review and inspection to ensure that they are in compliance with this Agreement and the Standards and Agreements. Licensee shall pay Licensor a fixed fee for such review. Notwithstanding such review and inspection, as between the Parties, Licensee is responsible for ensuring that all aspects of each New Project comply with all applicable Laws, this Agreement and the Standards and Agreements, and Licensor disclaims all liability for any of same.

(d) With respect to the Integration of the Diamond Business and the conversion of certain of Diamond Properties to Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties (the “Diamond Properties Conversion”), any such conversions will be subject to Licensor’s prior approval and the Parties will cooperate in good faith to develop an approval and review process that is applicable for such approval.

Licensor hereby approves the Undeveloped Parcels as sites for future New Properties, which shall be subject to Section 5.2.

(b) If Licensee wishes to sell an Undeveloped Parcel (or any part thereof or rights therein) to any Person other than a Hilton Competitor, Licensee will notify Licensor, and for thirty (30) days after such notice, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith towards a sale agreement. If no such agreement is executed in such time period, for 270 days thereafter, Licensee shall be free to execute such sale with such Person, so long as the sale price is at least 95% of the sale price proposed to Licensor. Licensee shall promptly provide Licensor with all information reasonably requested by Licensee to confirm Licensee’s compliance with this Section 5.3(b).

(c) If Licensee wishes to sell an Undeveloped Parcel (or any part thereof or rights therein) to a Hilton Competitor, Licensee will notify Licensor, and Licensor shall have a right of first refusal on such purchase for 30 days, on the same terms set forth in the offer from the Hilton Competitor. If the third party offer provides for payment of consideration other than cash, Licensor may offer commercially reasonable cash equivalent.

(d) Licensee agrees that any purported transaction in violation of Licensor’s rights in this Section 5.3 shall be deemed null and void at the outset and of no force or effect, and Licensor shall be entitled to equitable relief, including rescission, to effect such nullification.

Section 5.4 Projects at Third-Party Hotels

. Licensee shall not participate in a New Property that is a mixed-use development project (whether or not such New Property uses the Licensed IP and/or Hilton Data) that includes Hilton Competitors without Licensor’s prior written consent, except for those projects set forth on Exhibit K of the Original Agreement or such properties (or any interests

therein or portions thereof) acquired by Licensee in connection with the Merger as set forth on Schedule 5.4.

Section 5.5 Future Franchise and Management Agreements

. Licensor will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any third-party management, operating and franchise agreements for Licensor Lodging Properties (i) if executed after the Effective Date, include commercially reasonable provisions to ensure that third party hotel owners and franchisees do not (and do not allow other Persons to) operate, promote or sell interests in Vacation Ownership Properties other than Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties in connection with such Licensor Lodging Property; and (ii) if executed as of the Effective Date, retain the above-described provisions, if such retention can be achieved with no material concession or liability by Licensor. Licensor shall not be liable to Licensee for any failure to obtain the above provisions, if it exercises the above commercially reasonable efforts in this regard.

Section 5.6 Vacation Ownership Properties at Licensor Lodging Properties.

(a) If a third-party developer of a Licensor Lodging Property intends to develop a Vacation Ownership Property as a component thereof (the “Co-Located Licensor Lodging Property”), Licensor will notify Licensee and use commercially reasonable efforts to allow Licensee to negotiate with such developer to Operate the Vacation Ownership Property as a Licensed Vacation Ownership Property. If, despite such efforts, such counterparty does not offer Licensee such opportunity, Licensor shall have no further obligations to Licensee in this regard (but Licensor’s obligations during the Noncompetition Term shall still apply).

(b) If Licensor engages in a mixed-use project that includes a Vacation Ownership Property, Licensor will use commercially reasonable efforts to include Licensee in same, and if Licensee is not included, Licensor shall not allow the Hilton Data or the Loyalty Program to be used to conduct direct marketing activities with respect to the above Vacation Ownership Business component (but shall have no other restriction on the use of Hilton Data or Loyalty Program for such projects).

Section 5.7 Limitations on Licensed Business; Compliance with Contracts.

Licensee shall abide by all territorial and other contractual restrictions applicable to Licensor that relate to the Licensed Vacation Ownership Business and are in effect as of the Effective Date (or thereafter, subject to Licensee’s consent). Licensor will not agree to an extension of the duration, or a broadening of the scope, of any such restrictions without Licensee’s prior written consent (which shall be required only during the Noncompetition Term), except for extending or renewing such agreements in accordance with their terms. Licensee shall not enter into any agreement with any third party that purports to limit or restrict Licensor’s right to Operate Licensor Lodging Properties in any manner that is inconsistent with this Agreement.

(i) as expressly permitted in this Agreement;

(ii) to Persons other than Licensee who are authorized to manage Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties under Section 8.3(a), to the extent necessary to enable such operation; and

Licensee shall ensure that all Licensed HOAs include all information and terms reasonably requested by Licensor (in a form approved by Licensor) in their sales offering documents, sale, deed and other agreements with potential buyers, including provisions that (i) Licensor is a third-party beneficiary with the right to enforce such terms directly against the Licensed HOA and buyer and (ii) the intended buyer is not acquiring any rights in or to use any Licensed IP or Hilton Data. Licensee shall obtain Licensor’s prior written consent before signing any agreement with respect to the creation, operation, title, deed or sales provisions of any Licensed HOA.

Licensee agrees that all Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties’ transient rental inventory shall be made available through the Licensed System and shall not be placed on any third party platforms or distribution channels.

(b) In the event Licensee acquires a hotel, resort or other transient or extended stay lodging facilities for the purpose of converting such facilities into a Vacation Ownership Property, Licensee may during such conversion process operate such facilities, or a significant portion thereof, as a hotel provided Licensee shall pursue such conversion in a commercially reasonable manner so as to limit Licensee’s competition with Licensor in the Lodging Business. The parties agree Licensee’s obligation in this regard shall be met if Licensee diligently pursues the conversion and has commenced bona fide sales of Vacation Ownership Property intervals within 24 months of Licensee’s obtaining ownership, control or management of such property. If the Licensee fails to commence bona fide sales of Vacation Ownership Property intervals within the 24-month period, Licensee shall retain Licensor (for any Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties) or a third party management company (for any Separate Operations) to manage the hotel component of the project.

Section 5.10 Special Provisions Arising from the Merger

. With respect to the acquisition of the Diamond Business and Diamond Properties, it is the intent of Licensee to Integrate such business and properties into its business and convert certain Diamond Properties into Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties in accordance with Section 5.2(d) of this Agreement.

(c) Any Major Brand names developed by Licensee will become New Licensed Marks and Licensor and its Affiliates will be the sole owner of all such New Licensed Marks in accordance with Article XIII of this Agreement even if such new name does not include the then-existing Hilton Marks. Further, Licensor shall continue to have the sole right to approve any such new names to be used by Licensee in connection with the New Brand Offering or otherwise. Licensor continues to reserve for its exclusive use the “Hilton,” except as set forth herein, and “Hilton Honors” names. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to new brand names created by Licensee that are used exclusively in connection with Separate Operations and do not include or incorporate the Hilton Marks, Licensor will not be the owner of such brand names and will not have the right to approve such new brand names.

Section 7.2 Modified Standards.

(a) Licensor may modify or implement any existing or new Standards during the Term, effective upon notice to Licensee, provided that (i) Licensor may not require Licensee to comply with any Standards that, as a whole, place a disproportionate or discriminatory burden upon Licensee relative to practices for similarly situated Licensor Lodging Properties, but Licensee acknowledges that certain Standards may not apply to all of Licensor’s branded hotels and (ii) Licensee shall have a commercially reasonable time to transition to comply with the above new Standards (unless new or modified Standards reflect changes in applicable Laws, in which case, Licensee must adopt such changes sufficiently promptly to comply with such Laws).

Section 7.4 Exclusivity/Licensee Status

. Licensee may not participate in a loyalty program (or purchase and use loyalty program points) of a Hilton Competitor unless such loyalty program relates solely to Vacation Ownership Properties maintained as Separate Operations. Licensor will not authorize Loyalty Program Points to be used solely for the creation of a Vacation Ownership Business that conflicts with Licensee’s rights under this Agreement. Licensor will maintain Licensee’s tier status (or grant comparable tier status to Licensee) in the Loyalty Program, if Licensor changes the tier structure of the Loyalty Program during the Term. Licensee may purchase tier status from Licensor for the Loyalty Program in accordance with Section 7.8 or as may otherwise be agreed to by the Parties.

terms from Honors LLC. During the Term and in accordance with the restrictions in this Article VII, Honors LLC shall be entitled to increase the price per Loyalty Program Point on an annual basis; provided, that Licensor provide advance notice of any such increase no later than September 15 of the year immediately preceding the year during which such cost increase is scheduled to take effect. While the determination and calculation of the applicable cost per Loyalty Program Point and any increases in such cost remain in Licensor’s sole discretion, Licensor agrees to discuss any increases in the cost per Loyalty Program Point with Licensee and reasonably demonstrate to Licensee the basis and reasons for such increase (which Licensor may satisfy by providing any reasonable information).

Section 7.9 Additional Discount Program

. Licensor agrees to establish a discount program and use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain participation from the owners of Licensor Lodging Properties under which owners of Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties (including New Brand Properties) will be

entitled to a rate discount for stays at participating hotels within Licensor Lodging Properties and the Licensed System. Licensor will use reasonable efforts to obtain a discount in excess of the discount rate offered to then-current Loyalty Program members as part of such program. The Parties acknowledge that any and all such discounts will be subject to the availability and the discretion of the owners of such hotels, and will not be deemed a standing rate discount program. For the avoidance of doubt, Licensor may terminate any such discount program at any time in its sole discretion, provided that Licensor provide Licensee with reasonable notice of any such termination of a discount program and cooperate with Licensee to seek or pursue other potential similar discount programs in lieu thereof.

Licensor hereby consents to the subcontracting and delegation agreements set forth on Exhibit L of the Original Agreement.

(b) Licensee shall require all sublicensees (and all Persons referenced in Section 8.3(a)) to agree in writing to abide by all terms herein relating to the Standards and Agreements and protection of the Licensed IP, and Licensee is liable to Licensor hereunder for any act or omission by a sublicensee or a Person referenced in Section 8.3(a) that would breach this Agreement if committed by Licensee. A Party may not license or authorize any Person (including Subsidiaries) to take any action that such Party is prohibited from doing

under this Agreement, and each Party is liable hereunder for any action by a Subsidiary that would breach this Agreement if committed by such Party.

(a) Subject to any pre-existing third-party agreements prohibiting same, Licensor and its representatives have the right (but not the obligation) to enter the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties at any time without notice or additional permission from Licensee to verify that Licensee is complying with this Agreement and the Standards and Agreements. Licensee shall provide commercially reasonable assistance to facilitate such inspections and promptly (or immediately, for material deficiencies or issues involving health or safety) take all actions necessary to correct any deficiencies found during any inspection. If Licensor is required to conduct more than one (1) inspection in any twelve (12) month period because of Licensee’s failure to comply with the Standards and Agreements or this Agreement, Licensee shall reimburse Licensor for the commercially reasonable out-of-pocket costs of such additional inspections. The results of such inspection are Licensor’s Confidential Information, and Licensor may use and disclose them for authorized business purposes.

If such failure is not susceptible to being cured during such 30 day period, Licensee may extend such cure period for such additional periods as is reasonable under the circumstances if cure is being diligently pursued, and in no event will such period be more than one year from the date of the initial notice without Licensor’s prior written consent. If the Licensed HOA cannot effect cure within such time (or an extension thereof, which requires Licensor’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld), then Licensee shall immediately Deflag such Licensed Vacation Ownership Property, and the provisions of Section 18.1 shall apply.

Section 8.6 Employee Discounts

. Licensor’s employees may stay at the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties (and Licensee’s employees may stay at the Licensor Lodging Properties) for other business or non-business purposes at reduced rates (such rates also covering food and beverage costs), subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Employee Matters Agreement, dated as of the Original Agreement, among the Parties, PHRI and Hilton Domestic Operating Company Inc.

Licensee shall promptly revise or cease using any Marketing Content after it becomes aware (whether from notice from Licensor or otherwise) that it does not comply with this Agreement, the Standards and Agreements (subject to this Section 9.5(a)) or applicable Laws.

(b) The Parties will cooperate to facilitate advertising the Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties in Licensor’s distribution channels, and develop and exploit new Marketing Content and channels to support the Licensed Vacation Ownership Business, provided that, in each case, Licensor has sole discretion as to any specific advertising activities.

(a) The Parties shall meet quarterly during the Term to discuss future Marketing Content and any sponsorship, marketing, endorsement or similar agreements (“Marketing Agreements”) for the Licensed Vacation Ownership Business between the Parties and their advertisers.

(b) If Licensor wishes to enter into any Marketing Agreement on an exclusive basis, and such exclusivity would restrict the Licensed Vacation Ownership Business, Licensor shall notify Licensee (i) at the quarterly meeting or (ii) for time-sensitive matters, at least 30 days prior to executing same. In each case, Licensor shall consult with Licensee and in good faith consider Licensee’s comments with respect to such agreement; however, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 9.6(b) shall give Licensee the right to block or delay any such exclusive marketing agreement. Licensor shall have the sole right to approve and execute any such exclusive Marketing Agreements that involve the Licensed Marks. However, should Licensor request Licensee participate in a marketing or similar agreement with respect to co-branded credit cards, and such arrangement includes a bounty fee or similar payment by the issuer for acquisitions at Licensee’s Vacation Ownership Properties, Licensee shall not be required to participate in such marketing activities unless Licensee receives a share of such payment.

Licensor acknowledges that Licensee has prior to the Effective Date entered into certain Marketing Agreements or other arrangements designed to support the Licensed Exchange Program with Hilton Competitors, a list of which is attached as Exhibit M of the Original Agreement. Should Licensee desire to enter into a new Marketing Agreement or other arrangement with a Hilton Competitor, or materially expand the scope of such an existing arrangement, Licensee must first obtain Licensor’s prior written consent.

(e) Licensee may enter into new local Marketing Agreements and enterprise-wide Marketing Agreements at any time, subject to Licensor’s prior written approval for all enterprise-wide Marketing Agreements and any new local Marketing Agreement that differs materially from that used by Licensee as of the Effective Date. Licensee shall notify Licensor of all proposed new Marketing Agreements (i) at the quarterly meeting or (ii) for time-sensitive matters, at least 30 days prior to the signing date. Licensor shall not unreasonably withhold its approval for any Marketing Agreement that does not involve a Hilton Competitor. In each case, Licensee shall consult with Licensor and in good faith consider Licensor’s comments with respect to such agreement. Should Licensor determine, in its reasonable discretion, that a Marketing Agreement does not comply with this Agreement, the Standards and Agreements (subject to this Section 9.6(e)) or applicable Laws, then Licensor shall notify Licensee of same and Licensee shall terminate such Marketing Agreement. Licensee shall respond to Licensor’s reasonable requests to submit to Licensor any Marketing Content.

Licensee will not directly or indirectly attack, contest or otherwise challenge the validity, enforceability or ownership of any Licensed IP or Hilton Data. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Licensee is deemed to be the owner of any Licensed IP (or own any rights in any Hilton Data), Licensee hereby assigns and agrees to assign to Licensor all of such rights in same. Unless Licensee has notified Licensor that it no longer requires the use of any Licensed Marks, Licensor shall continue to maintain and renew all Licensed Marks (and file and use Reasonable Best Efforts to prosecute until registration all new “Licensed Marks” approved hereunder), so long as Licensee reimburses Licensor for all commercially reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred.

(b) Without limiting Section 13.1(a), Licensor agrees that Licensee may (i) serve as the administrative and technical contact for all domain names and social or mobile media registrations included in the Licensed Marks, provided that Licensor shall be the registrant of any such domain names (and social or mobile media registrations, if and to the

extent the trademark owner is intended to be the registrant) and (ii) file to register corporate, trade, d/b/a and similar names containing the Licensed Marks, so long as any such registration does not modify or compromise Licensor’s ownership rights in the Licensed Marks.

(c) If Licensee wishes to use a Licensed ▇▇▇▇ in a country or jurisdiction for which it is not registered as of the Effective Date, it may notify Licensor of same. The Parties will cooperate to perform all necessary due diligence with respect to Licensee’s proposed use. Licensor shall not withhold its consent to any proposed new Trademark if the new Trademark, in Licensor’s good-faith judgment, would not reasonably be expected to harm or jeopardize the value, validity, reputation or goodwill of the Licensed Marks or subject Licensor to any risk of legal liability or an adverse Action anywhere in the world. Any new Trademark approved by Licensor hereunder shall be owned by Licensor and deemed to be a “Licensed ▇▇▇▇” hereunder.

Section 13.2 Licensee’s Use of Licensed IP.

(a) Licensee shall use all Licensed IP solely in compliance with applicable Laws and all Standards and Agreements. Licensee will use all notices and legends for the Licensed IP that are required by applicable Laws or reasonably requested by Licensor.

(b) Licensee acknowledges that Licensor may change the stylization, font or appearance of the Licensed Marks during the Term. Licensee must use the latest version of the Licensed Marks that Licensor has adopted for its own use, subject to a commercially reasonable transition period during which Licensee may engage in traditional “phase out” use of the prior version of the Licensed Marks.

(c) Licensee may use the Trademarks of third parties in connection with permitted marketing activities in the ordinary course of business in the Licensed Vacation Ownership Business, provided that, without Licensor’s prior written consent (whether provided in connection with the Parties’ marketing activities in Section 9.5 or Section 9.6 or otherwise), Licensee shall not use (i) the Licensed Marks with any other Trademark in such a manner so as to suggest (a) a co-branded, combined or composite Trademark or (b) that Licensor is affiliated with, endorses or sponsors the owner of such Trademark; or (ii) the Trademarks of any Hilton Competitor in the Licensed Vacation Ownership Business.

Section 13.3 Enforcement

. If Licensee learns of any actual or threatened unauthorized use of the Licensed IP by any Person, Licensee shall promptly notify Licensor. Licensor, in its sole discretion, shall decide whether to commence an Action against such use. If Licensor elects not to bring an Action and such unauthorized use is materially impairing Licensee’s rights under this Agreement, Licensor shall not unreasonably refuse a request by Licensee to bring an Action in its own name. If Licensor refuses such a request, Licensee may not bring such an Action. If Licensor grants such a request, Licensor may participate in such Action with counsel of its own choice at its own expense. The Parties may also elect in their discretion to bring a joint Action. The Parties shall fully cooperate in any such Action brought in this Section 13.3. Absent a joint Action or later agreement to the contrary, the Party that brings any Action herein shall control its prosecution, pay all costs and expenses associated therewith and have

the sole right to any and all damages, settlements and proceeds therefrom; provided that a Party shall not enter into any settlement or other agreement that would impose any liability or obligations or have any adverse effect upon on the other Party without its prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Licensee hereby agrees that this Section 13.3 limits its rights under applicable Laws to commence an Action against any Person’s unauthorized use of the Licensed IP, and hereby waives such rights, to the extent they conflict with this Section 13.3.

Section 13.4 Credit Cards.

(b) Licensee shall use the then-current Loyalty Program credit card designated by Licensor as the exclusive credit card issued for down payments, renewals or other fees in connection with Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties sold to residents of United States, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to offer such Loyalty Program credit card as the exclusive credit card issued for down payments, renewals or other fees in connection with Licensed Vacation Ownership Properties sold to residents of Japan, and shall honor all nationally recognized credit cards and credit vouchers and enter into all necessary agreements with issuers therefor.

(c) Licensor acknowledges that the Diamond Business currently offers a loyalty credit card through a financial institution (the “Diamond Credit Card”). License will provide notice of intention not to renew the Diamond Credit Card as soon as possible after the Closing and in the interim will operate the Diamond Credit Card as a Separate Operation. If necessary, Licensor will use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate with the issuer of the Designated Credit Card a waiver as may be needed to avoid any conflicts or breaches that may result from Licensee’s assumption of the existing Diamond Business and the related Diamond Credit Card in accordance with its terms. If such efforts to obtain a waiver are unsuccessful, Licensor will work in good faith with Licensee and the issuer of the Designated Credit Card to identify and implement changes to the operation of the Diamond Credit Card program that would minimize adverse effects on Licensee.

(d) Subject to the foregoing, Licensee will continue to be expressly prohibited from entering into any agreement with a financial institution or any other Person to create a co-branded credit card or any co-branded alternative payment technology without Licensor’s prior written consent.

(a) If execution is levied against any Licensed Vacation Ownership Property in connection with a final, non-appealable judgment for the payment of an amount in excess of $10,000,000 USD (as adjusted annually after the Effective Date by the CPI Adjustment), or a suit to foreclose any lien, mortgage or security interest (except for foreclosures with respect to consumer financing and mechanics liens that are placed on such Licensed Vacation Ownership Property in the ordinary course of business) on such Licensed Vacation Ownership Property or any property necessary for the operation of such Licensed Vacation Ownership Property in accordance with Standards and Agreements, is initiated and not vacated within ninety (90) days, then Licensor may issue of notice of breach to Licensee with respect to such Licensed Vacation Ownership Property.

If Licensee fails to cure or enter into a remediation arrangement with Licensor within ninety (90) days following the date of

the Deflagging Event, or fails to improve the performance of such Licensed Vacation Ownership Property in accordance with the remediation arrangement, Licensor may Deflag such Licensed Vacation Ownership Property, immediately upon notice to Licensee.
