(g) During the period beginning from the date hereof and continuing to and including the date 30 days after the date of the Prospectus (the “Lock-Up Period”), not to offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, or file with the Commission a registration statement under the Act relating to any securities of the Company that are substantially similar to the Shares, or publicly disclose the intention to make any offer, sale, pledge, disposition or filing with respect to such securities, including but not limited to any options or warrants to purchase shares of Stock or any securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, Stock or any such substantially similar securities (other than (i) any shares of Stock issued by the Company upon the exercise of options to purchase shares of Stock or upon the vesting of restricted stock awards, in each case as described in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus, (ii) the grant of awards, issuance of shares of Stock, of restricted stock awards or of options to purchase shares of Stock, in each case pursuant to employee benefit plans, including the LTIP and the agreements related thereto, in each case as described in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus and the Prospectus, (iii) issuances of shares of Stock in connection with any event that triggers the automatic conversion of shares of Class B Stock into shares of Stock pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation, (iv) issuances of shares of Stock in connection with the physical settlement, if applicable, of the ASR, (v) issuances of shares of Stock in connection with the acquisition by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of the securities, business, property or other assets of another person or business entity or pursuant to any employee benefit plan assumed by the Company in connection with any such acquisition, or (vi) issuances of shares of Stock, options, warrants or other convertible securities relating to Stock, in connection with any bona fide merger, acquisition, business combination, joint venture or other strategic or commercial relationship, to a third party or group of third parties, provided that in the case of immediately preceding clauses (v) and (vi), the number of securities issued in such transactions shall not exceed 10% of the Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Time of Delivery and that the recipient of such securities agrees to be bound in writing by the terms of the lock-up agreement substantially in the form of Annex I hereto), without your prior written consent;

(h) Not to (and to cause the Company’s subsidiaries not to) take, directly or indirectly, any action which is designed to or which constitutes or which would reasonably be expected to cause or result in stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company or facilitate the sale or resale or the Shares;

(i) To pay the required Commission filing fees relating to the Shares within the time required by Rule 456(b)(1) under the Act without regard to the proviso therein and otherwise in accordance with Rules 456(b) and 457(r) under the Act;

(c) The Company agrees that if at any time following issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus any event occurred or occurs as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus would conflict with the information in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances then prevailing, not misleading, the Company will give prompt notice thereof to the Underwriter and, if requested by the Underwriter, will prepare and furnish without charge to the Underwriter an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or other document which will correct such conflict, statement or omission.

7. The Company covenants and agrees with the Underwriter that the Company will pay or cause to be paid the following: (i) the fees, disbursements and expenses of the Company’s counsel and accountants in connection with the registration of the Shares under the Act and all other expenses of the Company in connection with the preparation, printing, reproduction and filing of the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and the Prospectus and amendments and supplements thereto and the mailing and delivering of copies thereof to the Underwriter and dealers; (ii) the cost of printing or producing this Agreement, the Blue Sky Memorandum, closing documents (including any compilations thereof) and any other documents in connection with the offering, purchase, sale and delivery of the Shares; (iii) all expenses incurred in connection with the qualification of the Shares for offering and sale under state securities laws as provided in Section 5(d) hereof, including the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Underwriter in connection with such qualification and in connection with the Blue Sky survey up to a maximum of $7,500; (iv) all fees and expenses in connection with listing the Shares on the New York Stock Exchange; (v) the cost of preparing stock certificates; (vi) the cost and charges of any transfer agent or registrar; (vii) all reasonable expenses and fees (including the legal fees of counsel for the Underwriter) incurred in connection with FINRA clearance up to a maximum of $7,500; (viii) all other costs and expenses incident to the performance of the obligations of the Company hereunder which are not otherwise specifically provided for in this Section; and (ix) any reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel for the Selling Stockholders. Each Selling Stockholder covenants and agrees with the Underwriter that such Selling Stockholder will pay or cause to be paid all taxes incident to the sale and delivery of the Shares to be sold by such Selling Stockholder to the Underwriter hereunder. It is understood, however,

that the Company shall bear, and the Selling Stockholders shall not be required to pay or to reimburse the Company for, the cost of any other matters not directly relating to the sale and purchase of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement, and that, except as provided in this Section, and Sections 9 and 12 hereof, the Underwriter will pay all of its own costs and expenses, including without limitation, the fees of its counsel, stock transfer taxes payable on resale of any of the Shares by it and any advertising expenses connected with any offers it may make.

8. The obligations of the Underwriter hereunder shall be subject, in its discretion, to the condition that all representations and warranties and other statements of the Company and the Selling Stockholders herein are, at and as of the Time of Delivery, true and correct, the condition that the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall have performed all of its and their respective obligations hereunder theretofore to be performed, and the following additional conditions:

(f) On the date of the Prospectus at a time prior to the execution of this Agreement, Deloitte & Touche LLP shall have furnished to you a letter, dated the date of this Agreement, on the effective date of any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement filed subsequent to the date of this Agreement and also at the Time of Delivery, Deloitte & Touche LLP shall have furnished to you a letter or letters, dated the respective dates of delivery thereof, in form and substance satisfactory to you;

9. (a) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriter or such Selling Stockholder against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Underwriter or such Selling Stockholder may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of

or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (other than the Registration Statement, in the light of the circumstances under which such statements were made) not misleading, and will reimburse the Underwriter or such Selling Stockholder for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Underwriter or such Selling Stockholder in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim, whether or not the Underwriter is a party to any action or claim, as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriter Information or the Selling Stockholder Information.

(b) Each of the Selling Stockholders, severally and not jointly, will (i) indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriter against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Underwriter may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (other than the Registration Statement, in the light of the circumstances under which such statements were made) not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any such amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with Selling Stockholder Information; and (ii) reimburse the Underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Underwriter in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the liability of such Selling Stockholder pursuant to this subsection 9(b) and the contribution by such Selling Stockholder under subsection 9(e) shall not exceed the net proceeds (after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions, but without deducting expenses of the Company or the Selling Stockholders) received by such Selling Stockholder from the sale of the Shares sold by such Selling Stockholder hereunder (the “Selling Stockholder Net Proceeds”).

(c) The Underwriter will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each Selling Stockholder against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or such Selling Stockholder may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (other than the Registration Statement, in the light of the circumstances under which such statements were

made) not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriter Information; and will reimburse the Company and each Selling Stockholder for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or such Selling Stockholder in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred.

(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a), (b) or (c) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under such subsection. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a), (b) or (c) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders, on the one hand, and the Underwriter, on the other, from the offering of the Shares. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under subsection (d) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and the Selling Stockholders, on the one hand, and the Underwriter, on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Stockholders, on the one hand, and the Underwriter, on the other, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Selling Stockholders bear to the total underwriting

discounts and commissions received by the Underwriter, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Selling Stockholders, on the one hand, or the Underwriter, on the other, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company, each of the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriter agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (e) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (e). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (e) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (e), (i)the Underwriter shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Shares underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which the Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission and (ii) no Selling Stockholder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the Selling Stockholder Net Proceeds exceed the amount of any damages that such Selling Stockholder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. Each Selling Stockholder’s obligations to contribute under this subsection (e) are several and not joint and limited in the manner and to the extent set forth in Section 9(b) above. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(f) The obligations of the Company and the Selling Stockholders under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company and the respective Selling Stockholders may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls the Underwriter within the meaning of the Act and each broker-dealer affiliate of the Underwriter; and the obligations of the Underwriter under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the Underwriter may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company, to each officer and director of each Selling Stockholder and to each person, if any, who controls the Company or any Selling Stockholder within the meaning of the Act.

10. [Reserved].

11. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriter, as set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of the Underwriter or any controlling person of the Underwriter, or the Company, or any of the Selling Stockholders, or any officer or director or controlling person of the Company, or any controlling person of any Selling Stockholder, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Shares.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the indemnity agreement of the Company in subsection (a) of Section 9 hereof, the representations and warranties in subsections (a)(i)

through (a)(v) of Section 1 hereof and any representation or warranty as to the accuracy of the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus contained in any certificate furnished by the Company pursuant to Section 8 hereof, insofar as they may constitute a basis for indemnification for liabilities (other than payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) arising under the Act, shall not extend to the extent of any interest therein of a controlling person or partner of the Underwriter who is a director, officer or controlling person of the Company when the Registration Statement has become effective or who, with his or her consent, is named in the Registration Statement as about to become a director of the Company, except in each case to the extent that an interest of such character shall have been determined by a court of appropriate jurisdiction as not against public policy as expressed in the Act. Unless in the opinion of counsel for the Company the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, the Company will, if a claim for such indemnification is asserted, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such interest is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

12. If for any reason, any Shares are not delivered by or on behalf of the Selling Stockholders as provided herein, the Company will reimburse the Underwriter for all out-of-pocket expenses approved in writing by you, including fees and disbursements of counsel, reasonably incurred by the Underwriter in making preparations for the purchase, sale and delivery of the Shares not so delivered, but the Company and the Selling Stockholders shall then be under no further liability to the Underwriter in respect of the Shares not so delivered except as provided in Sections 7 and 9 hereof.

13. All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing, and if to the Underwriter shall be delivered or sent by mail, nationally recognized overnight courier or facsimile transmission to Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. LLC, 0000 Xxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000, with a copy to Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP, 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention: Igor Fert and Xxxx X.

Any such statements, requests, notices or agreements shall take effect upon receipt thereof.

In accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), the Underwriter is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies its clients, including the Company, which information may include the name and address of its clients, as well as other information that will allow the Underwriter to properly identify its clients.

14. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure solely to the benefit of, the Underwriter, the Company and the Selling Stockholders and, to the extent provided in Sections 9 and 11 hereof, the officers and directors of the Company and each person who controls the Company, any

Selling Stockholder or the Underwriter, and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and no other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement. No purchaser of any of the Shares from the Underwriter shall be deemed a successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase.

15. Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement. As used herein, the term “business day” shall mean any day when the Commission’s office in Washington, D.C. is open for business.

16. The Company and each Selling Stockholder acknowledge and agree that (i) the purchase and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company and the Selling Stockholders, on the one hand, and the Underwriter, on the other, (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction the Underwriter is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Company or any Selling Stockholder, (iii) the Underwriter has not assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company or any Selling Stockholder with respect to the offering contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether the Underwriter has advised or is currently advising the Company or such Selling Stockholder on other matters) or any other obligation to the Company or any Selling Stockholder except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement and (iv) the Company and each Selling Stockholder have consulted their respective own legal and financial advisors to the extent they deemed appropriate. The Company and the Selling Stockholders agree that they will not claim that the Underwriter has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owe a fiduciary or similar duty to the Company or any Selling Stockholder, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

17. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between and among the Company and the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriter with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided, however, as between the Company on the one hand and the Selling Stockholders on the other hand, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to supersede, modify or amend any agreement that the Company and the Selling Stockholders may otherwise have with respect to shares of the Stock.

18. This Agreement, and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to this Agreement, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflict of laws provisions thereof (other than Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York).

19. Each of the Company, the Selling Stockholders and the Underwriter hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

20. This Agreement may be executed by any one or more of the parties hereto in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

21. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company is authorized to disclose to any persons the U.S. federal and state income tax treatment and tax structure of the potential transaction and all materials of any kind (including tax opinions and other tax analyses) provided to the Company relating to that treatment and structure, without the Underwriter imposing any limitation of any kind. However, any information relating to the tax treatment and tax structure

shall remain confidential (and the foregoing sentence shall not apply) to the extent necessary to enable any person to comply with securities laws. For this purpose, “tax structure” is limited to any facts that may be relevant to that treatment.

22. If any term or other provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby, and there shall be deemed substituted for the provision at issue a valid, legal and enforceable provision as similar as possible to the provision at issue.

23. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the provisions of this Agreement may be amended or waived at any time only by the written agreement of the parties hereto. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any such holders of any provision or condition of this Agreement must be made in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in writing. The failure of any party hereto to enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provision, nor in any way to affect the validity of this Agreement or any part hereof or the right of any party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.

If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding, please sign and return to us a counterpart hereof, and upon the acceptance hereof by you, on behalf of the Underwriter, this letter and such acceptance hereof shall constitute a binding agreement among the Underwriter, the Company and each of the Selling Stockholders.

Re: Hyatt Hotels Corporation – Lock-Up Agreement

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned understands that you (the “Underwriter”) propose to enter into an Underwriting Agreement with Hyatt Hotels Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the selling stockholders named in Schedule I to such agreement (the “Selling Stockholders”), providing for the sale by the Selling Stockholders of 8,654,050 shares (the “Shares”) of Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Stock”) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-218162) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

In consideration of the agreement by the Underwriter to offer and sell the Shares, and of other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the undersigned agrees that, during the period specified below (the “Lock-Up Period”), the undersigned will not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of any shares of Stock, or any options or warrants to purchase any shares of Stock, or any securities convertible into, exchangeable for or that represent the right to receive shares of Stock, whether now owned or hereinafter acquired, owned directly by the undersigned (including holding as a custodian) or with respect to which the undersigned has beneficial ownership within the rules and regulations of the SEC (collectively, the “Undersigned’s Shares”).

The foregoing restriction is expressly agreed to preclude the undersigned from engaging in any hedging or other transaction which is designed to or which reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in a sale or disposition of the Undersigned’s Shares even if the Undersigned’s Shares would be disposed of by someone other than the undersigned. Such prohibited hedging or other transactions would include without limitation any short sale or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including without limitation any put or call option) with respect to any of the Undersigned’s Shares or with respect to any security that includes, relates to, or derives any significant part of its value from the Undersigned’s Shares.

The Lock-Up Period will commence on the date of the Underwriting Agreement and continue for 30 days after the date set forth on the final prospectus supplement used to sell the Shares (the “Public Offering Date”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned may transfer the Undersigned’s Shares:

(i) as a bona fide gift or gifts (which shall not involve a disposition for value), including, without limitation, to the immediate family of the undersigned or to charitable organizations, by will or intestate succession; provided that the donee or donees thereof agree to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein;

(ii) to any trust, partnership, limited liability company or other entity for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned; provided that the trustee of the trust or the partnership, limited liability company or other entity agrees to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein; provided, further, that any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value; and provided, further, that no filing under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of shares of Stock, shall be required or shall be voluntarily made during the Lock-Up Period in connection with such transfer;

(iii) to any affiliate of the undersigned or to any investment fund or other entity controlling, controlled or managed by or under common control with the undersigned, including its partners (if a partnership), members (if a limited liability company) or stockholders or wholly-owned subsidiaries (if a corporation); provided that the transferee thereof agrees to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein; and provided, further, that any such transfer (a) shall not involve a disposition for value and (b) does not require a public filing under Section 16 of the Exchange Act;

(iv) to any immediate family member or other dependent; provided, that the transferee agrees to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein; provided, further, that any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value; and provided, further, that no filing under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of shares of Stock, shall be required or shall be voluntarily made during the Lock-Up Period in connection with such transfer;

(v) as a distribution to any wholly-owned subsidiary, partners, members or stockholders of the undersigned; provided, that the transferee agrees to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein; provided, further, that any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value; and provided, further, that no filing under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of shares of Stock, shall be required or shall be voluntarily made during the Lock-Up Period in connection with such transfer;

(vi) to a nominee or custodian of a person or entity to whom a disposition or transfer would be permissible under clauses (i) through (v) above; provided, that the transferee agrees to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein; and provided, further, that no filing under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of shares of Stock, shall be required or shall be voluntarily made during the Lock-Up Period in connection with such transfer;

(vii) if the undersigned is an officer, to the Company upon death, disability or termination of employment, in each case, of such officer;

(viii) to the Company (A) as the result of a conversion, exercise or exchange of any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Stock, in each case on a “cashless”

or “net” exercise basis, where any shares of Stock received upon such conversion, exercise or exchange shall be subject to the restrictions set forth herein or (B) for the purposes of satisfying any withholdings taxes (including estimated taxes) due as a result of such conversion, exercise or exchange, in each case on a “cashless” or “net exercise” basis, pursuant to any existing employee benefit plans, including the Third Amended and Restated Hyatt Hotels Corporation Long-Term Incentive Plan and agreements related thereto, where any shares of Stock received upon such conversion, exercise or exchange shall be subject to the restrictions set forth herein; provided that in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to this clause, any filing under Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall state that such filing relates to the conversion, exercise or exchange of securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of common stock, or for purposes of satisfying any withholding taxes;

(ix) pursuant to an order of a court or regulatory agency or to comply with any regulations related to the undersigned’s ownership of shares of Stock; provided that in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to this clause, any filing under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of shares of Stock, shall state that such transfer is pursuant to an order of a court or regulatory authority unless such statement would be prohibited by any applicable law, regulation or order of a court or regulatory authority;

(x) that were acquired in open market transactions following the date of the Underwriting Agreement;

(xi) to the Company pursuant to the call provisions of existing employment agreements and equity grant documents; provided that in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to this clause, any filing under Section 16 of the Exchange Act or other public announcement relating to such change in beneficial ownership of shares of Stock shall state that such transfer or distribution was to the Company pursuant to such call provisions;

(xii) pursuant to a bona fide third-party tender offer made to all holders of the Company’s Stock, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction involving a change of control of the Company; provided that in the event that such tender offer, merger, consolidation or other such transaction is not completed, the Undersigned’s Shares shall remain subject to the restrictions contained in this Lock-Up Agreement; or

(xiii) with the prior written consent of the Underwriter.

The foregoing restrictions shall also not apply to (a) the registration of or sale to the Underwriter of any Stock pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement as part of the offering of the Shares; (b) the issuance of shares of Stock upon exercise or settlement of stock appreciation rights or restricted stock units held by the undersigned or any affiliate of the undersigned, provided that the underlying shares of Stock acquired upon such exercise shall be subject to the terms of this Lock-Up Agreement; (c) any transactions effectuated pursuant to a trading plan that satisfies all of the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act (a “Rule 10b5-1 Plan”) established prior to the date of this Lock-Up Agreement, provided that any filing under Section 16 of the Exchange Act made in connection with any such transaction include a statement that the transaction was effectuated pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan; or (d) the establishment by the undersigned of a Rule 10b5-1 Plan after the date hereof, provided that such Rule 10b5-1 Plan does not provide for the transfer of shares of Stock during the Lock-Up Period.

For purposes of this Lock-Up Agreement, (i) “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin, (ii) “affiliate” shall

include (A) all lineal descendants of Xxxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx, deceased, and all spouses and adopted children of such descendants, (B) all trusts for the benefit of any person described in clause (A) and the trustees of such trusts, (C) all legal representatives of any person or trust described in clauses (A) or (B), and (D) all persons or entities controlling, controlled by or under common control with any person, trust or entity described in clauses (A), (B) or (C), and “change of control” shall mean the consummation of any bona fide third-party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction, the result of which is that any “person” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), or group of persons, other than the Company and the Pritzker family, becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 of the Exchange Act) of a majority of the total voting power of the voting Stock of the Company.

The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the Undersigned’s Shares except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.

LLC and its affiliates, other than the undersigned, may engage in brokerage, investment advisory, financial advisory, anti-raid advisory, merger advisory, financing, asset management, trading, market making, arbitrage, principal investing and other similar activities conducted in the ordinary course of their affiliates’ business.]¹

It is understood that if (i) the Company or the Selling Stockholders notify the undersigned and the Underwriter in writing that they do not intend to proceed with the offering of the Shares; (ii) the registration statement filed with the SEC with respect to the Shares is withdrawn; (iii) the Underwriting Agreement does not become effective by September 1, 2017; or (iv) for any reason the Underwriting Agreement shall terminate or be terminated prior to the delivery of, and payment for, the Shares, this Lock-Up Agreement shall terminate and the undersigned shall be released from its obligations hereunder.

The undersigned understands that the Company and the Underwriter are relying upon this Lock-Up Agreement in proceeding toward consummation of the offering of the Shares.
