Exhibit 10.1

MASTER AMENDMENT AND OPTION AGREEMENT

THIS MASTER AMENDMENT AND OPTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of
March 5, 2018, is between Park Hotels & Resorts Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the “Company”), HNA Tourism Group Co., Ltd., a People’s Republic of China
(“PRC”) company (“HNA”), and HNA HLT Holdco I LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company (the “Selling Stockholder”).

RECITALS

A.    HNA, through the Selling Stockholder (its indirect subsidiary), purchased
53,651,453 shares of the Company’s Common Stock on March 15, 2017 from
affiliates of The Blackstone Group L.P. In anticipation of such purchase, HNA
and the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of
October 24, 2016 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which,
beginning on March 15, 2019 (the “Expiration Date”) HNA and certain affiliates
have “demand” and “piggyback” registration rights.

B.    HNA has communicated to the Company its interest in selling all of its
shares prior to the Expiration Date and requested that the Company provide
earlier registration rights to facilitate such sales. In connection with such
request, the Company and HNA have agreed to make several changes to the existing
terms of the Registration Rights Agreement and the Stockholders Agreement, dated
as of October 24, 2016, among HNA, HNA Group Co., Ltd., a PRC company (“HNA
Group”), and the Company (the “Stockholders Agreement”).

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

AMENDMENTS TO REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

SECTION 1.1 Acceleration of HNA Demand Rights. Effective immediately upon the
occurrence of the Resignation Condition (as defined herein), Article II,
Section 2.2(a) (General) of the Registration Rights Agreement is hereby amended
by deleting “the second (2nd) anniversary of the Effective Date (or earlier if
the Company agrees to waive the two-year transfer registration under the
Stockholders Agreement)” and replacing it with “March 5, 2018.” The “Resignation
Condition” shall mean the delivery by Xianyi Mu to the Company of his
resignation from the Company’s Board of Directors (which expressly provides that
it shall be effective only upon the closing of the First Public Offering (as
defined herein)).

SECTION 1.2 HNA Demand Rights Must Utilize Existing Shelf if Available.

(a) Article II, Section 2.2(a) (General) of the Registration Rights Agreement is
hereby amended by inserting after paragraph (y) the following: “Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the Company has an effective shelf registration statement that
would permit the offer and sale of Registrable Securities, the Company shall not
be obligated to file a registration statement relating to any registration
request. In such case, HNA shall have the right to request a “takedown” of
Registrable Securities off of such effective shelf registration statement.”

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b) Article II, Section 2.2(b) (Form) of the Registration Rights Agreement is
hereby deleted and replaced as follows: “If the Company does not have an
effective shelf registration statement that would permit the offer and sale of
Registrable Securities, upon the written request of a Demand Party requesting
that the Company effect the registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to
this Section 2.2, the Company shall file a registration statement on Form S-3
(or any successor rule or form thereto) that would permit (or would permit upon
the filing of a prospectus supplement) the offer and sale of Registrable
Securities, or, if the Company is not then eligible to use such form for such
offer and sale, such other form as is reasonably requested by the Demand Party.”

SECTION 1.3 Lockup Amended to be 90 Days and Applies to Requests Both to File a
Registration Statement and to Facilitate a Shelf “Takedown” Offering. Article
II, Section 2.2(a) (General) of the Registration Rights Agreement is hereby
amended by inserting, after the first reference to “this Section 2.2(a)”, the
following: “or facilitate a “takedown” of the Demand Party’s Registrable
Securities off of an effective shelf registration statement”. Article II,
Section 2.2(a)(x) is hereby amended by deleting each reference to “one hundred
eighty (180) days” and replacing each with “ninety (90) days.” Article II,
Section 2.2(a)(x) is hereby further amended by deleting the phrase “(or such
lesser period as the managing underwriters in an underwritten offering may
permit)”. Article II, Section 2.2(a)(x) is hereby further amended by inserting,
after the reference to “in Section 2.1”, the following: “or after the closing
date of any “takedown” of the Demand Party’s Registrable Securities off of an
effective shelf registration statement”.

SECTION 1.4 HNA Pays Registration Expenses. Article II, Section 2.2(c)
(Expenses) of the Registration Rights Agreement is hereby amended by deleting
“The Company” and replacing it with “The Demand Party” and by adding to the end
of the Section the following sentence: “Such expenses shall be payable at the
closing of the relevant offering (with any additional expenses being payable at
such time or times designated by the Company).” The definition of “Registration
Expenses” is hereby amended by inserting at the end of clause (e) thereof “, and
including any other reasonable fees and disbursements of Hogan Lovells US LLP
and Ernst & Young LLP for services rendered in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, the negotiation of the Master Amendment and
Option Agreement, dated on or about March 5, 2018, between the Company, HNA and
HNA HLT Holdco I LLC (the “MAOA”), and the transactions contemplated by the MAOA
(other than services rendered in connection with the negotiation or exercise of
the Option).” Each underwriting agreement shall expressly provide that the
Registration Expenses (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) shall be
directly paid to the Company, Hogan Lovells US LLP or Ernst & Young LLP, as
applicable, from the proceeds otherwise payable to the applicable Holder.

SECTION 1.5 Company Determines Plan of Distribution and HNA and Company Jointly
Determine Underwriters. Article II, Section 2.2(d) (Plan of Distribution,
Underwriters and Counsel) of the Registration Rights Agreement is hereby deleted
and replaced as follows: “If a request for registration is made pursuant to this
Section 2.2, the Company shall have the right to determine the plan of
distribution (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include the designation
of the specific investors to which the Registrable Securities shall be sold).
HNA shall determine whether or not the Registrable Securities will be sold at
the pricing of the offering (and HNA’s decision to sell the Registrable
Securities, as evidenced by the execution of the applicable underwriting
agreement, shall constitute HNA’s and the applicable Holder’s full and final
acceptance of the plan of distribution determined by the Company). To the extent
the registration involves an underwritten offering, the Company and HNA shall
have the right to select the investment banks to act as (i) active bookrunning
managers, (ii) passive bookrunning

 

2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

managers, (iii) co-managers and (iv) any other members of the underwriting
syndicate. The selection process for the foregoing clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and
(iv) shall occur on an alternating basis (with the Company selecting first in
each case and HNA then selecting a second bank at the same level). As a result
of the Company’s first selection, the “lead left” bookrunning manager shall be
selected by the Company (and such bookrunning manager shall (x) lead the
offering with all customary roles and responsibilities traditionally assigned to
the “lead left” bookrunning manager and (y) serve as the stabilization agent).
The syndicate arrangements, including the underwriting spread and division of
economics among the underwriters, shall be mutually agreed and based upon the
market practice for similar transactions. In particular, the Company and HNA
shall each have the right to designate the economics to be allocated to the
banks appointed by them, with each party being able to so designate one half of
the economics in the offering. The Demand Party shall have the right to select
counsel for the selling Holders.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, in respect of
the First Public Offering (as defined below), there shall be two active
bookrunners and five passive bookrunners, with (w) the Company appointing one
active bookrunner and two passive bookrunners, (x) HNA appointing one active
bookrunner and three passive bookrunners, (y) the two active bookrunners
receiving 56% of the economics of the offering (evenly split between such two
active bookrunners) and the five passive bookrunners receiving the remaining 44%
of the economics of the offering (split 60% to the three HNA- appointed passive
bookrunners as designated by HNA and 40% to the two Company-appointed passive
bookrunners as designated by the Company) and (z) the underwriting discounts and
commissions (i.e., the “gross spread”) shall be 3.5% of the public offering
price per share. All other matters set forth above in this Section 1.5
(including the Company’s designation of “lead left”, the roles of “lead left”
and the designation of the “lead left” as the stabilization agent) shall remain
the same for the First Public Offering.

SECTION 1.6 Tax Opinion and Audit Cooperation Condition and Covenant. Article
II, Section 2.2 of the Registration Rights Agreement is hereby amended by
inserting after section 2.2(h) the following: “(i) To the extent the
registration or “takedown” from an effective registration statement involves an
underwritten offering, the closing of such underwritten offering shall be
conditioned on the satisfaction of the Tax Opinion and Audit Cooperation
Condition (with such condition being expressly provided for the benefit of the
Company in the underwriting agreement for such offering). The “Tax Opinion and
Audit Cooperation Condition” shall mean that (i) HNA and any Holder acting as a
“selling stockholder” in such offering shall have executed and delivered to
Hogan Lovells US LLP (“Hogan Lovells”) an officer’s certificate, in form and
substance acceptable to Hogan Lovells (the “HNA Rep Letter”), containing
representations necessary for Hogan Lovells to deliver to Hilton Worldwide
Holdings Inc. (“Hilton”) a tax opinion acceptable to Hilton that will allow the
closing of such underwritten offering or other transaction (an “Unqualified
Opinion”), (ii) HNA and any Holder acting as a “selling stockholder” in such
offering shall have executed and delivered to Hilton a letter agreement, in form
and substance acceptable to Hilton (the “Letter Agreement”), related to the
correctness of the representations in the HNA Rep Letter and cooperation by HNA
and such Holder with any audit, examination, proposed adjustment or inquiry or
other proceeding concerning the tax treatment of the Distribution (as defined in
the Tax Matters Agreement, dated as of January 2, 2017, by and among Hilton, the
Company, Hilton Grand Vacation Inc. and Hilton Domestic Operating Company Inc.
(the “Tax Matters Agreement”)) and (iii) the Company shall have caused Hogan
Lovells to provide an Unqualified Opinion to Hilton that Hilton has acknowledged
in writing is in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Hilton. Prior to
the pricing of any underwritten public offering, HNA and such Holder shall
(i) cause to be executed and delivered into escrow the HNA Rep Letter and the
Letter Agreement, (ii) instruct the HNA designees (as defined in the MAOA) to
make such changes (and only such changes) to such HNA Rep Letter and Letter
Agreement

delivered into escrow, prior to the closing of the offering, as are required to
incorporate pricing- and closing-related information related to the offering
required for Hogan Lovells to deliver an Unqualified Opinion to Hilton and
(iii) provide for the automatic release of such HNA Rep Letter and Letter
Agreement from escrow to Hogan Lovells and Hilton, respectively, on the closing
date.”

SECTION 1.7 Certain Amendments to Expire on March 15, 2019. The amendments to
the Registration Rights Agreement set forth in Sections 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6 above
shall only apply with respect to any registration or “takedown” request
delivered prior to the Expiration Date. With respect to any registration or
“takedown” request delivered on or after the Expiration Date, the amendments set
forth in Sections 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6 above shall not apply (and the original
provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement shall instead be in effect).

SECTION 1.8 Deemed Request for Registration. HNA and the Selling Stockholder
shall be deemed to have delivered on the date hereof the written request
required under Section 2.2(a) of the Registration Rights Agreement to effect an
underwritten public secondary offering for the offer and sale of approximately
37,000,000 shares of Company Common Stock (inclusive of both the firm shares and
optional shares for such proposed offering) (with such request becoming

this Agreement, such offering is contemplated by the parties to be the First
Public Offering (subject to the last sentence of Section 3.1).

ARTICLE III

OPTION FOR THE COMPANY TO REPURCHASE COMMON STOCK HELD BY HNA

SECTION 3.1 Grant of Option for the Company to Repurchase Common Stock Held by
HNA. HNA, on behalf of itself and any other Holders (as defined in the
Registration Rights Agreement), and the Selling Stockholder, each hereby grants
to the Company an option (the “Option”) to repurchase from HNA, the Selling
Stockholder or any other Holders up to an aggregate of 15,750,000 shares (the
“Option Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share
(“Common Stock”), held by HNA, the Selling Stockholder or any other Holders on
the date hereof (as equitably adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends,
combinations, recapitalizations and the like after the date of this Agreement)
at a price per share (the “Repurchase Price”) equal to (i) the public offering
price per share in the first underwritten public secondary offering of Common
Stock held by HNA, the Selling Stockholder or any other Holders (the “First
Public Offering”) minus (ii) the underwriting discount and commissions per share
in the First Public Offering. The Company may exercise the Option in whole or in
part prior to the filing of the first prospectus supplement by the Company in
connection with the First Public Offering upon email notice (the “Pre-Offering
Notice”) by the Company to HNA. The Pre-Offering Notice shall set forth the
number of Option Shares as to which the Company is exercising the Option. Prior
to the time of the pricing of the First Public Offering, the Company may, by
email notice (the “Pre-Pricing Notice”) to HNA, increase the number of Option
Shares being exercised from the amount set forth in the Pre-Offering Notice by
up to 7,875,000 shares (it being understood that the maximum number of shares
exercised in the Option through the Pre-Pricing Notice and the Pre-Offering
Notice shall not exceed an aggregate of 15,750,000 shares). The final number of
Option Shares as to which the Option has been exercised, as set forth in the
Pre-Offering Notice and (if delivered) the Pre-Pricing Notice, is referred to
herein as the “Exercised Option Shares”. The foregoing arrangements shall be
documented in a series of email notices as follows (and in the following order):
(w) HNA requests the Pre-Offering Notice, (x) the Company delivers a
Pre-Offering Notice or declines to do so, (y) HNA advises of the intended
pricing of the offering (including public offering price per share and
underwriting discounts and commissions per share) and requests the Pre-Pricing
Notice and (z) the Company delivers a Pre-Pricing Notice or declines to do so
(and, for avoidance of doubt, the pricing shall not occur until the Company has
provided its Pre-Pricing Notice or has declined to do so). If the first
underwritten public secondary offering of Common Stock as contemplated by
Section 1.8 above (or any underwritten public secondary offering thereafter) is
abandoned, materially downsized or otherwise materially changes, then at the
election of the Company the term “First Public Offering” (and therefore the
Option itself) shall apply to the next underwritten public secondary offering of
Common Stock held by HNA or any other Holders.

SECTION 3.2 Closing. Delivery of and payment for the Exercised Option Shares
shall be made concurrent with the closing of the First Public Offering (the
“Option Closing”). Delivery of the Exercised Option Shares shall be made to the
Company free and clear of any liens or other encumbrances against payment by the
Company by wire transfer payable in same-day funds to the accounts specified by
HNA, the Selling Stockholder or the other Holders, as applicable. The Parties
shall cooperate to deliver all documents as may be reasonably required to effect
such transfer of the purchased Exercised Option Shares to the Company, including
stock powers, stock transfer instructions and all other transfer documents.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company’s
obligation to consummate the Option Closing shall be conditioned on (A) the
satisfaction of the Tax Opinion and Audit Cooperation Condition and (B) the
simultaneous closing under the underwriting agreement for the First Public
Offering. If either condition is not satisfied, the Company shall have the right
to do one or both of the following: (x) delay the Option Closing for a period of
up to 21 days; and (y) terminate the exercise of the Option.

Holder may assign its rights and obligations under this Article III of this
Agreement in whole or in part to any HNA Entity (as defined in the Registration

provided, such assignee executes and delivers to the Company a counterpart

foregoing, the email notices described herein shall take place between three
persons designated by the Company in an email communication to HNA on or before
the date hereof (the “Company designees”) and three persons designated by HNA in
an email communication to the Company on or prior to the date hereof (the “HNA
designees”). Each email notice to be sent to the Company or HNA shall be sent to
all three Company designees or all three HNA designees, as applicable. HNA will
make and receive all email notices on behalf of itself, the Selling Stockholder
or any other Holder as applicable.

understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this
Article III. There are no agreements, representations, warranties, covenants or
undertakings with respect to the subject matter hereof other than those
expressly set forth herein. This Agreement supersedes all other prior agreements
and understandings between the parties with respect to such subject matter.

SECTION 3.6 HNA Reimburses Option Expenses. HNA shall reimburse the Company for
any and all expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation and the
exercise of the Option, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of Hogan
Lovells US LLP and Ernst & Young LLP for services rendered in connection with
the negotiation and the exercise of the Option. Such expenses shall be
reimbursed at the time or times designated by the Company, but no earlier than
the closing date for the First Public Offering. The underwriting agreement for
