(b) Within ten (10) days after receipt of any written request pursuant to this Section 2.1, the Company will give written notice of such request to all other holders of Registrable Securities and holders of securities registrable under the 2007 Registration Rights Agreement (to the extent such agreement remains in effect) (the “Other Registrable Securities”) and will use its reasonable best efforts to include in such registration all Registrable Securities (and Other Registrable Securities properly requested by the holders thereof to be included in such registration) with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion within twenty (20) days after delivery of the Company’s notice, and, thereupon the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to effect, at the earliest possible date, the registration under the Securities Act. A registration requested pursuant to this Section 2.1 is referred to herein as a “Long-Form Demand Registration.” The Company shall not be obligated to effect more than one (1) Long-Form Demand Registration for the Stockholders pursuant to this Section 2.1.

2.2 Short-Form Registrations.

(a) In addition to the Long-Form Demand Registration provided pursuant to Section 2.1 above, commencing the date on which the Company becomes eligible to register securities issued by it on a Form S-3 or any similar short-form registration, Stockholders holding at least 20% of the then issued and outstanding Common Stock shall be entitled to request registrations under the Securities Act of all or part of their Registrable Securities on Form S-3, if available to the Company, or any similar short-form registration statement (“Short-Form Demand Registrations” and, together with the Long-Form Demand Registration, “Demand Registrations”); provided, however, that with respect to any requests under this Section 2.2(a): (i) the anticipated aggregate offering amount of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration shall exceed $100,000,000 (net of underwriting discounts and commissions); (ii) the requesting Stockholders shall, at the anticipated time of effectiveness of such registration statement, be permitted under the applicable Other Agreements to sell the Common Stock to be registered pursuant to the applicable registration statement; and (iii) the Company shall not be prohibited under the 2007 Registration Rights Agreement from filing such registration statement.

(b) Within ten (10) days after receipt of any written request pursuant to this Section 2.2, the Company will give written notice of such request to all other holders of Registrable Securities (and Other Registrable Securities), and will use reasonable best efforts to include in such registration all Registrable Securities (and Other Registrable Securities) with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion within twenty (20) days after delivery of the Company’s notice. Demand Registrations will be Short-Form Demand Registrations whenever the Company is permitted to use any applicable short form. If for marketing or other reasons the underwriters with respect to any Short-Form Demand Registration request the inclusion in the registration statement of information which is not required under the Securities Act to be included in a registration statement on the applicable form for the Short-Form Demand Registration, the Company will provide such information as may be reasonably requested for inclusion by the underwriters in the Short-Form Demand Registration. The Stockholders shall be limited to one (1) Short-Form Demand Registrations pursuant to this Section 2.2 during each calendar year.

2.3 Payment of Expenses for Demand Registrations. The Company will pay all Registration Expenses (as defined in Section 6 below) for the Demand Registrations permitted under Sections 2.1 and 2.2. A registration will not count as a Demand Registration until it has become effective.

2.4 Priority. If the managing underwriters with respect to a Demand Registration advise the Company in writing that, in their opinion, the inclusion of the number of Registrable Securities and other securities requested to be included creates a substantial risk that the price per share will be reduced, the Company will include in such registration, prior to the inclusion of any securities which are not Registrable Securities, the number of such Registrable Securities that in the opinion of such underwriters can be sold without creating such a risk, pro rata among the respective holders of such Registrable Securities on the basis of the number of such Registrable Securities requested by such holders to be included in the applicable Demand Registration; provided, however, that if (i) after the date of the request for such Demand Registration the holders of Other Registrable Securities shall have validly requested a demand registration under the 2007 Registration Rights Agreement and (ii) the Other Registrable Securities requested to be covered by such demand registration have not been sold and such demand registration shall not have been withdrawn or abandoned, then the Company will include such Other Registrable Securities with the Registrable Securities on a pro rata basis among the respective holders of such Registrable Securities and such Other Registrable Securities. In no event will a Demand Registration pursuant to Section 2.1 count as a Long-Form Demand Registration for purposes of Section 2.1 unless at least twenty-five percent (25%) of all Registrable Securities requested to be registered in such Demand Registration by the Stockholders initiating such Demand Registration (the “Initiating Stockholders”) are, in fact, registered in such registration.

2.5 Restrictions. The Company will not be obligated to effect any Demand Registration within one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of a previous Demand Registration, any demand registration under the 2007 Registration Rights Agreement or a previous registration under which the Initiating Stockholders had piggyback rights pursuant to Section 3 below

wherein the Initiating Stockholders in the aggregate were permitted to register and sold, at least 50% of the Registrable Securities included therein. With respect to any Demand Registration, if the Board determines in good faith that such filing (i) would be materially detrimental to the Company, (ii) would require a disclosure of a material fact that might reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company or any plan or proposal by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to engage in any acquisition or disposition of assets or equity securities or any merger, consolidation, tender offer, material financing or other significant transaction, or (iii) is inadvisable because of the Company is planning to prepare and file a registration statement for a primary offering by the Company of its securities (which determination by the Board shall be certified in writing by an executive officer of the Company to the holders of Registrable Securities who have requested a Demand Registration), then the Company may postpone for up to one hundred twenty (120) days the filing or the effectiveness of a registration statement for a Demand Registration; provided, that the Company may not on any of the foregoing grounds postpone the filing or effectiveness of a registration statement for a Demand Registration for more than one hundred twenty (120) days during any twelve (12) month period (unless the holders of a majority of the unsold Registrable Securities included in such registration statement and not previously sold thereunder consent in writing to a longer postponement of the filing or effectiveness of such registration statement). In addition, the Company may postpone the filing of a Demand Registration in the event the Company shall be required to prepare audited financial statements as of a date other than its fiscal year.

2.6 Underwritten Offerings. All Demand Registrations shall be underwritten. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Company be obligated to effect more than one (1) Demand Registration in any twelve (12) month period.

2.7 Selection of Underwriters. In connection with any Demand Registration, the Company will have the right to select the managing underwriter(s) in respect of such offering in its sole discretion after consultation with the Initiating Stockholders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to the applicable Demand Registration.

3. Shelf Registrations.

3.1 Right to Shelf Registration. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, in addition to the Demand Registrations and commencing the date on which the Company becomes eligible to register securities issued by it on a registration statement on Form S-3 or similar short-form registration, Stockholders shall be entitled to request that the Company file a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 pursuant to Rule 415 with respect to all or part of their Registrable Securities (including the Prospectus, amendments and supplements to the shelf registration statement or Prospectus, including pre- and post-effective amendments, all exhibits thereto and all material incorporated by reference or deemed incorporated by reference, if any, in such shelf registration statement, the “Shelf Registration Statement”); provided, however, that the Company shall only be required to register on such Shelf Registration Statement those Registrable Securities that the requesting holders of Registrable Securities shall, at the anticipated time of effectiveness of such Shelf Registration Statement, be permitted to sell under the applicable Other Agreements. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as practicable after such filing, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement effective and updated,

from the date such Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective until the earliest to occur (i) the first date as of which all of the shares of Registrable Securities included in the Shelf Registration Statement have been sold or (ii) a period of three years. If the Shelf Registration Statement has been outstanding at least three years, at the end of the third year, if requested by a holder of Registrable Securities holding at least 1% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to promptly refile a new shelf registration statement on Form S-3 pursuant to Rule 415 covering the Registrable Securities to the extent any securities registered under the previous Shelf Registration Statement remain unsold.

3.2 Payment of Expenses for Shelf Registrations. The Company will pay all Registration Expenses (as defined in Section 7 below) for the shelf registrations permitted under Section 3.

4. Piggyback Registrations.

4.1 Right to Piggyback. At any time at least one hundred eighty (180) days following the consummation of the initial Public Offering of the Common Stock, whenever the Company proposes to register any of its Common Stock under the Securities Act for its own account or otherwise, and the registration form to be used may be used for the registration of Registrable Securities (each, a “Piggyback Registration”) (except for the registrations on Form S-8 or Form S-4 or any successor form thereto), the Company will give written notice, at least fifteen (15) days prior to the proposed filing of such registration statement, to the Stockholders (provided, such holders shall, at the anticipated time of effectiveness of such registration statement, be in compliance with the applicable Other Agreements and be permitted under the applicable Other Agreements to sell the Common Stock to be registered pursuant to the applicable registration statement) of its intention to effect such a registration and will use reasonable best efforts to include in such registration all Registrable Securities (in accordance with the priorities set forth in Sections 4.2 and 4.3 below) with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion specifying the number of equity securities desired to be registered, which request shall be delivered within fifteen (15) days after the delivery of the Company’s notice. The Company may postpone or withdraw the filing or the effectiveness of a Piggyback Registration at anytime in its sole discretion.

4.2 Priority on Primary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten primary offering on behalf of the Company and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in the registration creates a substantial risk that the price per share of the primary securities will be reduced or that the amount of the primary securities intended to be included on behalf of the Company will be reduced, then the managing underwriter and the Company may exclude securities (including Registrable Securities) from the registration and the underwriting, and the number of securities that may be included in such registration and underwriting shall include: (a) first, any securities that the Company proposes to sell; (b) second, any Other Registrable Securities the Company is required to register under the terms of the 2007 Registration Rights Agreement; (c) third, any Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration, pro rata among the holders of such Registrable Securities on the basis of the total number of Registrable Securities which are requested by such holders to be included in such registration, and (d) fourth, other securities, if any, requested to be included in such registration to be allocated pro rata among the holders thereof.

4.3 Priority on Secondary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten secondary offering on behalf of holders of the Company’s securities and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in the registration creates a substantial risk that the price per share of securities offered thereby will be reduced, the Company will include in such registration: (a) first, the Common Stock requested to be included therein by the Person requesting such registration, (b) second, any Other Registrable Securities the Company is required to register in such registration under the terms of the 2007 Registration Rights Agreement; (c) third, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration, pro rata among the other holders of such Registrable Securities on the basis of the total number of Registrable Securities which are requested by such holders to be included in such registration; and (d) fourth, other securities, if any, requested to be included in such registration to be allocated pro rata among the holders thereof.

4.4 Selection of Underwriters. In connection with any Piggyback Registration, the Company will have such right to select the managing underwriter(s) in respect of such offering in its sole discretion.

5.3 Suspension of Resales.

8.1 By the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each holder of Registrable Securities and, as applicable, each of its trustees, stockholders, members, directors, managers, partners, officers and employees, and each Person who controls such holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act), against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and expenses) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto (including, in each case, all documents incorporated therein by reference), or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by such holder expressly for use therein or by such holder’s failure to deliver a copy of the prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto after the Company has furnished such holder with a sufficient number of copies of the same. In connection with an underwritten offering, the Company will indemnify such underwriters, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the holders of Registrable Securities. The payments required by this Section 8.1 will be made periodically during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expenses incurred.

8.2 By Each Holder of Registrable Securities. In connection with any registration statement in which a holder of Registrable Securities is participating, each such holder will furnish to the Company in writing such information relating to such holder as is reasonably necessary for use in connection with any such registration statement or prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, will indemnify the Company and, as applicable, each of its directors, employees and officers and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto (including, in each case, all documents incorporated therein by reference), or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in or omitted from any information furnished in writing by such holder for the acknowledged purpose of inclusion in such registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus; provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify will be several, not joint and several, among such holders of Registrable Securities and the liability of each such holder of Registrable Securities will be in proportion to and limited to the net amount received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement, unless such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense resulted from such holder’s intentionally fraudulent conduct.

8.3 Procedure. Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 8 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has received written notice of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that the counsel for the Indemnifying Party who is to conduct the defense of such claim or litigation is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such Indemnified Party’s expense; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall bear the expense of such defense of the Indemnified Party if (i) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such expenses, (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim or to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, or (iii) in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, based upon the written advice of such Indemnified Party’s counsel, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicts of interest; provided, however, that in no event shall the Indemnifying Party be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (excluding one local counsel per jurisdiction as necessary) for all Indemnified Parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same event, allegations or circumstances. The Indemnified Party shall not make any settlement without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 7 only to the extent that such failure to give notice shall materially prejudice the Indemnifying Party in the defense of any such claim or any such litigation. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the prior written consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement (a) that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party or (b) that includes an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party.

8.4 Survival. The indemnification (and contribution provisions in Section 9 below) provided for under this Agreement will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party or any officer, director or controlling Person of such Indemnified Party and will survive the transfer of securities.

9. Contribution.

9.1 Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 8 from the Indemnifying Party is unavailable to or unenforceable by the Indemnified Party in respect to any costs, fines, penalties, losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to herein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such costs, fines, penalties, losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Parties in connection with the

actions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Parties, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the costs, fines, penalties, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. Notwithstanding this Section 9, an indemnifying holder shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which (a) the total price at which the Registrable Securities sold by such holder exceeds (b) the amount of any damages which such indemnifying holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of the untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission giving rise to such payments, unless such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense in respect of which contribution is required resulted from such holder’s intentionally fraudulent conduct.

9.2 Equitable Considerations; Etc. The Company and the holders of Registrable Securities agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

10. Compliance with Rule 144 and Rule 144A. In the event that the Company (a) registers a class of securities under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, (b) issues an offering circular meeting the requirements of Regulation A under the Securities Act or (c) commences to file reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act following a Public Offering, then at the request of any holder of Registrable Securities who proposes to sell securities in compliance with Rule 144, the Company will (i) forthwith furnish to such holder a written statement of compliance with the filing requirements of the Commission as set forth in Rule 144, and (ii) make available to the public and such holders such information, and take such action as is reasonably necessary, to enable the holders of Registrable Securities to make sales pursuant to Rule 144. Unless the Company is subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company will provide to the holder of Registrable Securities and to any prospective purchaser of Registrable Securities under Rule 144A of the Commission, the information described in Rule 144A(d)(4) of the Commission.

11. Participation in Underwritten Registrations. No Person may participate in any registration hereunder which is underwritten unless such Person (a) agrees to sell its securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by such Person or Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, custody agreements, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

12. Arbitration.

12.1 Scope of Arbitration.

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, disputes between or among any of the parties hereto, and/or disputes between or among any of the parties hereto, shall be determined solely and exclusively by arbitration in accordance with this Section 12, which shall be broadly construed in favor of arbitrability of all such disputes.

(b) In any arbitration, this Agreement and all other documentation determined by the Arbitrator (as defined below) to be relevant shall be admissible in evidence. In deciding any issue submitted to arbitration, the Arbitrator shall consider the rights, powers and obligations of each applicable Trustee (or its predecessors) (as the term “Trustee” is defined in the Global Hyatt Agreement and the Foreign Global Hyatt Agreement) in light of this Agreement, the relevant trust instruments, the laws specified in Section 13.5 and the laws of the place of arbitration to the extent necessary to render the arbitral award valid and enforceable.

12.2 Rules; Location.

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association in effect as of the Effective Date shall govern any arbitration hereunder, but such arbitration shall not be conducted under the auspices of the American Arbitration Association.

(b) All arbitrations shall be held in Chicago, Illinois, except to the extent that it involves any Stockholder listed under the heading “Foreign Stockholders” on Schedule 1, in which case it shall be held at such place outside the United States as the Arbitrator selects after giving due regard to (i) the parties’ desire to maintain, to the maximum extent possible, the confidentiality of all arbitration proceedings commenced hereunder, all demands, pleadings, briefs or other documents relating to such proceedings and any decisions or awards of the Arbitrator and (ii) the ability of a court with jurisdiction over the parties to compel arbitration in such place and enforce any award resulting therefrom.

12.3 Arbitrator.

(a) All arbitrations will be before a single arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”), who shall be Independent, have a respected legal background, and be selected in accordance with this Section 12.3.

(b) The parties agree that the initial Arbitrator shall be the Person serving as arbitrator under the Global Hyatt Agreement (the “Proposed Arbitrator”), if that Person shall agree to serve in such capacity. In the event the Proposed Arbitrator is unwilling or unable to serve as Arbitrator, and notwithstanding the provisions of Section 12.2(a) hereof, the Arbitrator shall be selected by the American Arbitration Association pursuant to Section L-3 of the Optional Procedures for Large Complex Commercial Disputes of the Commercial Arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association (or any successor provision).

(c) The Proposed Arbitrator (if he agrees to serve as Arbitrator) or such other Person selected as the initial Arbitrator shall nominate a successor Arbitrator who shall become the successor Arbitrator upon (i) approval of six (6) of the Current Adult Beneficiaries (as defined in the Global Hyatt Agreement) and (ii) the execution and delivery by such individual of a joinder as contemplated by the Global Hyatt Agreement.

(d) Each successor Arbitrator shall appoint a subsequent successor who satisfies the criteria described in Section 12.3(a), and in the absence thereof, and notwithstanding the provisions of Section 12.2(a) hereof, the successor Arbitrator shall be selected by the American Arbitration Association pursuant to Section L-3 of the Optional Procedures for Large Complex Commercial Disputes of the Commercial Arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association (or any successor provision).

(e) Once an Arbitrator is identified as provided above, all parties to this Agreement and their counsel, Joined Agents (as defined in the Global Hyatt Agreement and the Foreign Global Hyatt Agreement, as applicable) and other representatives will refrain from all ex parte contacts with the Arbitrator.

12.4 Demand for and Action to Compel Arbitration.

(a) To demand arbitration hereunder, the party seeking arbitration shall be required to deliver written notice to the Arbitrator (when and if available) and all parties in respect of whom arbitration is sought, specifying in reasonable detail the issue or issues to be arbitrated. Upon receipt of such notice, the Arbitrator shall commence, conduct and conclude all proceedings within a reasonable time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Stockholder may demand arbitration subsequent to the date that is thirty (30) days following the date upon which such Stockholder no longer owns any Registrable Securities.

(b) Nothing herein shall be deemed to impair the right of any party to seek an order of any court of competent jurisdiction compelling arbitration or in aid of the jurisdiction of the Arbitrator.

12.5 Confidentiality.

(a) Except as may be required by applicable law and for communications among the parties to this Agreement and their respective counsel (and Persons retained by counsel for the purpose of assisting in any proceeding, who shall agree to be bound by a reasonable confidentiality agreement), all arbitration proceedings commenced hereunder, and all demands, pleadings, briefs or other documents relating to such proceedings, as well as any decisions or awards of the Arbitrator (except insofar as may be necessary to obtain judicial confirmation and/or enforcement of such decision or award), shall be completely and permanently confidential and shall not be communicated to third parties, and the Arbitrator will so order.

(b) Any party initiating judicial proceedings to compel arbitration or to confirm an award of the Arbitrator shall in good faith seek an order providing for the filing of all pleadings and arbitration documents under seal and all of the parties shall agree thereto.

(c) No tape or electronic recording or transcripts of arbitration proceedings shall be retained by any party after the completion of the arbitration proceeding; provided, however, that the Arbitrator (and any successor Arbitrators) may retain such records as he deems useful to the discharge of his duties hereunder and the Arbitrator may make any recordings or transcripts available upon request of a party to a subsequent arbitration pursuant to this Article (and solely for use in such subsequent arbitration) at his discretion and upon terms and conditions the Arbitrator deems appropriate.

12.6 Discovery and Conduct of Hearing.

(a) The parties to any arbitration hereunder shall be entitled to such pre-hearing discovery, if any, as may be determined by the Arbitrator.

(b) In conducting the arbitration, the Arbitrator may act in summary fashion, upon submission of papers, or in plenary fashion, in his discretion.

12.7 Form of Award; Remedies; Confirmation.

(a) An award of the Arbitrator shall be in writing and signed by him, shall not include findings of fact, conclusions of law, or other matters of opinion, shall state as briefly as possible the determination of the issue or issues submitted; provided, however, that the Arbitrator may make findings of fact and/or conclusions of law if and to the extent necessary to render the award valid and enforceable. The Arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding on the parties to this Agreement in all respects and for all purposes (without any right of appeal).

(b) Except as may otherwise be provided herein, the Arbitrator shall be authorized to award any form of relief as may be appropriate, consistent with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, including immediate, interim and/or final equitable relief, compensatory damages, fees, costs and expenses of the arbitration proceeding and non-monetary sanctions (but not Consequential Damages (as defined in the Global Hyatt Agreement and the Foreign Global Hyatt Agreement, as applicable), punitive damages, exemplary damages or multiple damages).

(c) A party to an arbitration shall have the right to petition a court of competent jurisdiction for an order confirming the Arbitrator’s award.

13. Miscellaneous.

13.1 Amendments and Waivers. 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. Any Stockholder may, with respect to such Stockholder only, waive the application of any provision of this Agreement. Any amendment, modification, supplement or restatement of this Agreement must be effected by written agreement of the Company and Stockholders holding at least 75% of the outstanding number of Registrable Securities at the time any such amendment, modification, supplement or restatement is sought. No waiver by any party of any default, misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or

subsequent such occurrence. Any amendment, modification, supplement or restatement or waiver effected in accordance with this paragraph shall be binding upon each holder of Registrable Securities and the Company as provided herein.

13.2 Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto will bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors and personal representatives (and, with respect to the applicable Stockholders, each trustee of any other currently existing or hereinafter to be formed trust for the current or future, direct or indirect, vested or contingent, benefit of a beneficiary of any trust that is a Stockholder) of the parties hereto, whether so expressed or not. In addition, and whether or not any express assignment has been made, the provisions of this Agreement which are for the benefit of holders of Registrable Securities are also for the benefit of, and enforceable by, any transferee of such Registrable Securities that is a Person included within the definition of “Pritzker” (as defined in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company in effect upon the consummation of the initial Public Offering). Any successor or permitted assignee of any Stockholder hereunder shall execute a joinder, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company, agreeing to be bound as a “Stockholder” hereunder and all references to a “Stockholder” herein shall be deemed to include each such successor and permitted assignee.

13.3 Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and do not constitute a part of and shall not be utilized in interpreting this Agreement.

Each of the parties to this Agreement will be entitled to enforce its rights under this Agreement specifically, to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights existing in its favor. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that money damages may not be an adequate remedy for any breach of the provisions of this Agreement and that any party shall be entitled to immediate injunctive relief or specific performance without bond or the necessity of showing actual monetary damages in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions of this Agreement.

13.8 Further Assurances. Each of the parties hereto will, without additional consideration, execute and deliver such further instruments and take such other action as may be reasonably requested by any other party hereto in order to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement.

13.10 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement (or any portion thereof) or the application of any such provision (or any portion thereof) to any Person or circumstance shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect by a Governmental Authority, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof (or the remaining portion thereof) or the application of such provision to any other persons or circumstances. Upon such determination that any provision of this Agreement (or any portion thereof) or the application of any such provision (or any portion thereof) to any Person or circumstance is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties hereto as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

13.12 Execution in Counterparts. 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 respective counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic image scan shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

13.13 No Trustee Liability. When this Agreement is executed by a trustee of a trust, such execution is by the trustee, not individually, but solely as trustee in the exercise of and under the power and authority conferred upon and invested in such trustee, and it is expressly understood and agreed that nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as imposing any liability on any such trustee personally to pay any amounts required to be paid hereunder, or to perform any covenant, either express or implied, contained herein, all such personal liability, if any, having been expressly waived by the parties by their execution hereof. Any liability of a trust hereunder shall not be a personal liability of any trustee, grantor or beneficiary thereof, and any recourse against a trustee shall be solely against the assets of the pertinent trust.
