This Retirement and Consulting Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into by and between Stan R. Soroka (“You” or “Your”) and Hilton Grand Vacations Inc. (“HGV” or the “Company”) entered into as of December 28, 2022.

WHEREAS, You currently serve as the Company’s Executive Vice President & Chief Customer Officer on an at-will basis;

WHEREAS, You and the Company are parties to that certain Severance Agreement, dated as of April 17, 2017 (the “Severance Agreement”), that provides for certain severance payments and benefits in the event of certain termination-of-employment events;

WHEREAS, You and the Company are parties to several award agreements related to certain stock options, service-based restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units (such equity awards, collectively, the “Equity Awards”) granted under the Hilton Grand Vacations Inc. 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2017 Plan”), that have been previously issued to You;

WHEREAS, under the award agreements evidencing the Equity Awards, among other things, You currently meet the minimum age and years-of-service requirements within the definition of a “Retirement” (as defined therein) that would inure certain additional vesting rights in the event of certain separation events;

WHEREAS, You and the Company have agreed that your retirement and separation from employment with the Company will be effective December 31, 2022; and

WHEREAS, You agree that, for purposes of the Severance Agreement, such separation and retirement from employment with the Company shall not qualify as a “Qualifying Termination” (as defined therein).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:

 

1.

You acknowledge and agree that You will retire from employment with the Company and, accordingly, Your employment with the Company will terminate effective December 31, 2022 (the “Separation Date”). From the date of this Agreement until the Separation Date, the Severance Agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference, shall remain in full force and effect. You will continue Your employment with the Company in Your current role and will continue to receive Your current compensation and benefits through and including the Separation Date; provided, however, that You agree that nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Company from terminating your employment for Cause or You from resigning without Good Reason (in each case as defined in the Severance Agreement) prior to the Separation Date, in which case you will not be entitled to any of the Benefits (as defined below). Except as otherwise agreed to by the Company in writing, all other positions that You hold with the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates shall terminate effective as of the Separation Date. Following the Separation Date, You will be paid for all outstanding wages

 

1


  earned since Your last paycheck through and including the Separation Date, less customary and applicable payroll and tax deductions, in accordance with Company policy and applicable law. You confirm and agree that, through the date You execute this Agreement, You have received all wages, reimbursements, payments, or other benefits to which You are entitled as a result of Your employment with the Company. Other than the payments set forth in this Agreement, You agree that the Company owes no additional amounts to You for wages, back pay, severance pay, bonuses, damages, accrued vacation, benefits, insurance, sick leave, other leave, or any other reason. This Agreement is intended to, and does, settle and resolve all claims of any nature that You might have against the Company arising out of Your employment relationship with Company or the termination of such employment or relating to any other matter.

 

2.

As recognition for Your long-standing dedication and services to the Company and in exchange for (A) You signing this Agreement and the Supplemental Release of Claims attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Supplemental Release”), which you must sign no earlier than the agreed upon date and no later than seven (7) days after the Separation Date, and You revoking neither this Agreement nor the Supplemental Release, and (B) You remaining employed through the Separation Date, You acknowledge and agree that You will receive the following pay and benefits (collectively referred to herein as the “Benefits”):

(i) A total gross amount of Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00), less withholding for taxes and other similar items (collectively, the “Service Recognition Payment”). The Service Recognition Payment shall be paid to You in a single lump sum on the first payroll date to occur on or after January 31, 2023;

(ii) An annual bonus for fiscal year 2022, equal to the annual bonus, if any, that would have been earned by You for fiscal year 2022 if You had remained employed on the normal payment date for such bonus under the Company’s annual incentive plan, based on actual level of performance with respect to the financial metric, which bonus, shall be payable to You, less withholding for taxes and other similar items, at the same time payment is made to other participants in the Company’s annual incentive plan;

(iii) If You timely elect to continue participation in any group medical, dental, vision or prescription drug plan benefits to which You or Your eligible dependents would be entitled under Section 4980B (“COBRA”) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), then for eighteen (18) months following the Separation Date (the “COBRA Reimbursement Period”), the Company shall pay to You monthly payments of an amount equal to the excess of the COBRA cost of such coverage over the amount that You would have had to pay for such coverage if You had remained employed during the COBRA Reimbursement Period and paid the active employee rate for such coverage, less withholding for taxes and other similar items; provided, however, that (A) if You become eligible to receive group health benefits under a program of a subsequent employer or otherwise (including coverage available to Your spouse), you shall immediately notify the Company of same, and the Company’s obligation to pay any portion of the cost of health coverage as described herein shall cease, except as otherwise provided by law; (B) the COBRA Reimbursement Period shall only run for the period during which You are eligible to elect health coverage under COBRA and timely elect and maintain such coverage; (C) nothing herein shall prevent the Company from amending, changing, or canceling any

 

2


  group medical, dental, vision and/or prescription drug plans during the COBRA Reimbursement Period; (D) during the COBRA Reimbursement Period, the benefits provided in any one calendar year shall not affect the amount of benefits provided in any other calendar year (other than the effect of any overall coverage benefits under the applicable plans); (E) the reimbursement of an eligible taxable expense shall be made as soon as practicable but not later than December 31 of the year following the year in which the expense was incurred; (F) Your rights pursuant to this Section shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit; and

(iv) Your Equity Awards that are outstanding as of the Separation Date shall be treated as provided in the 2017 Plan and applicable award agreement(s)).

You acknowledge that the Benefits are subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Supplemental Release, and compliance with the Surviving Provisions (as defined in Section 15 hereof); that the Benefits exceed any earned wages or anything else of value otherwise owed to You by the Company; and You would not receive the Benefits absent Your execution and non-revocation of this Agreement and the Supplemental Release, and compliance with the Surviving Provisions. For the avoidance of doubt, if You fail to comply with the obligations set forth in this Agreement, the Supplemental Release, and/or the Surviving Provisions, the Company shall have no further obligation to provide the Benefits. Any dispute concerning the Company’s suspension or recovery of the Benefits is subject to the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 11 herein. If You die prior to receipt of all Benefits, any and all remaining Benefits shall be paid to Your estate.

 

3.

In exchange for the Benefits, You, voluntarily and of Your own free will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, hereby forever waive, release, discharge and hold harmless, the Company, and each of its former, current and future subsidiaries, affiliates, divisions, parents, equity holders, predecessors, successors and assigns, and all of their respective current, former and future officers, shareholders, members, partners, principals, investors, owners, directors, trustees, joint venturers, insurers, attorneys, employees, agents (in their official and individual capacities), employee benefit plans and their administrators and fiduciaries (in their official and individual capacities) and all of their affiliates, predecessors, successors and assigns (the “Released Parties”), from any and all claims, rights, causes of action and demands of whatever nature, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, that You had, now have or may have against any of them arising from any act, event or omission which has occurred up through the date You sign this Agreement.

Engagement as an Independent Contractor; Consulting Services.

 

  (i)

The Company hereby engages You as an independent contractor effective as of January 1, 2023 (the “Consulting Start Date”), and You hereby accept such engagement as an independent contractor, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 10. You shall manage, perform, and provide such professional consulting services and advice (the “Consulting Services”) as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (or his or her designee) may request from time to time during the Consulting Period (as defined below). While the amount of time You will devote to the Consulting Services each week will vary and will be set by You based on Your own schedule and other considerations, the parties anticipate that, on average, You will spend no more than approximately twenty (20) hours per week providing the Consulting Services during the Consulting Period. During the Consulting Period, You shall: (a) perform the Consulting Services in a professional, ethical, and competent manner; (b) promote the best interest of the Company and take no actions that You in good faith believe will in any way damage the business or public image or reputation of the Company or its affiliates; (c) abide by the Company’s and then-current policies or guidelines while at the Company’s facilities or performing the Consulting Services; and (d) not engage in any actions that would create a conflict of interest with the interests of the Company.

  (ii)

The parties acknowledge and intend that the relationship of You to the Company under this Section 10 shall be that of an independent contractor. In performing the Consulting Services under this Section 10, You shall undertake the Consulting Services according to Your own means and methods of work, which shall be in Your exclusive charge and control, and which shall not be subject to the control or supervision of the Company, except as to the objectives of those Consulting Services. You shall determine Your own working hours and schedule and shall not be subject to the Company’s personnel policies and procedures as to hours and schedule. You shall be entirely and solely responsible for Your actions or inactions and the actions or inactions of any agents, employees or subcontractors, if any, while performing Consulting Services hereunder. You shall not, in any form or fashion, maintain, hold out, represent, state or imply to any other individual or entity that an employer/employee relationship exists between You and the Company. You are not granted, nor shall You represent that You are or have been granted, any right or authority to make any representation or warranty or assume or create any obligation or responsibility, express or implied, for, on behalf or in the name of the Company, to incur debts for the Company, or to bind the Company in any manner whatsoever.

 

  (iii)

The term of Your engagement with the Company under this Section 10 shall begin on the Consulting Start Date and continue for twelve (12) months thereafter (the “Initial Consulting Period”) with an automatic renewal for an additional twelve (12) months thereafter unless terminated as set forth in this Section 10(iii). Either party may terminate Your engagement as an independent contractor with thirty (30) days’ written notice to the other party except in the case of a termination by the Company with Cause (as defined in the Severance Agreement), or upon Your death/disability, or upon Your subsequent full-time employment (more than twenty (20) hours per week) with a third party (“Third Party Employment”), in which case termination should be effective immediately. In the event Your engagement as an independent contractor terminates (a) for Cause, (b) upon Your death/disability, (c) upon Your employment with a Third Party, or (d) by You for any reason the Company shall pay any earned but unpaid Consulting Fee (as defined below) through the termination date to You or Your Estate within ten (10) business days and reimburse any outstanding expenses incurred in accordance with this Section 10. In the event your engagement as an Independent Contractor is terminated by the Company Without Cause, the Company shall pay the entire Consulting Fee for the two (2) twelve (12) month periods minus any portion already paid to you within ten (10) business days and reimburse any outstanding expenses incurred in accordance with this Section 10. You acknowledge and agree that as an independent contractor, You are not entitled to receive unemployment insurance benefits.

  (iv)

During the Consulting Period and the Automatic Renewal Period, the Company will pay You a consulting fee (the “Consulting Fee”) of Three Hundred and Sixty Thousand Dollars ($360,000) per each twelve (12) months, payable in equal installments of Thirty Thousands Dollars ($30,000) per calendar month, prorated for any calendar month(s) in which You only provide Consulting Services hereunder for part of the month. Payment shall be made by the Company to You via ACH or direct deposit within ten (10) business days after the end of each calendar month except as otherwise provided Section 10(iii) above in the event Your engagement as an independent contract terminates prior to the end of the Consulting Period under the characteristics described in the aforementioned section.

 

  (v)

In addition to payment of the Consulting Fee, the Company shall reimburse You for reasonable expenses that are incurred by You in connection with the Consulting Services after Your presentation of an invoice containing a complete account of such expenditures and all reasonable documentation as may be required by the Company in connection therewith consistent with the Company’s expense policy for contractors. All invoices for expenses properly submitted by You hereunder shall be paid by the Company within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof.

 

  (vi)

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, during the Initial Consulting Period and the Automatic Renewal Period, You shall be permitted to keep the iPad/Tablet that the Company previously issued to You. You agree to cooperate fully with the Company, at the Company’s request and direction, to allow the Company to retrieve all data, documents, files or records belonging to the Company that may exist on the Company-issued iPad/Tablet. In addition, during the Initial Consulting Period and the Automatic Renewal Period, You shall be permitted to keep your Company-issued email address.

 

  (vii)

During the Consulting Period, You shall be serving as an independent contractor of the Company, and therefore unless required by law, the Company shall not deduct any federal, state or local taxes or other withholdings from any sums paid to You under this Section 10, and You hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each of its affiliates from any liability for any and all federal, state and local taxes or assessments of any kind arising out of any payment made by the Company to You hereunder. You shall be responsible for all tax reporting, tax payments, withholdings, insurance and other payments, expenses and filings required to be made or paid by You or Your agents or employees.

  (viii)

You acknowledge and agree that any and all materials provided by the Company to You that are to be used in connection with Your provision of the Consulting Services are the property of the Company and may not be used outside of the scope, terms, and conditions of the Consulting Services or in providing services to or on behalf of any person or entity other than the Company. You agree that You will immediately return all such materials to the Company on or prior to the end of the Consulting Period, or at any other time the Company requests such return.

For purposes of interpreting the Surviving Provisions for purposes of this Agreement, (a) the “Termination Date” referred to in the Surviving Provisions shall be the Separation Date and (b) the “Qualifying Termination Severance Benefits” referred to in the

 

8


  Surviving Provisions shall be the Benefits. With the exception of the Surviving Provisions, the Severance Agreement is hereby terminated, without further action by the parties, as of the Separation Date and will be of no further force and effect, and that neither party has any further obligations under the Severance Agreement as of the Separation Date. The Agreement cannot be amended, terminated, discharged or waived, except by a mutually agreed upon writing signed by You and an authorized representative of the Company.

 

16.
