 SCHEDULE 1 
 (Expedia – TripAdvisor CPC) 
 This Schedule is made between the Publisher and
Advertiser set forth below, pursuant to the Master Advertising Agreement (CPC) between the TripAdvisor Companies and the Expedia Companies, dated December 20, 2011 (the “Agreement”). Except as expressly set forth herein, this Schedule
is subject to the terms and conditions of and incorporated into the Agreement. All capitalized terms, where not defined herein, will have the meanings set forth elsewhere in the Agreement. 

 

			
	Advertiser:	  	Expedia, Inc., and Travelscape LLC (collectively, “Expedia”) with respect to Expedia-branded websites operated by Expedia (e.g. Expedia.com, Expedia.co.uk, Expedia.fr,
etc.)
		
	Publisher:	  	TripAdvisor LLC, TripAdvisor Limited, and TripAdvisor Singapore Private Limited (collectively, “TripAdvisor”)

 Media Properties: TripAdvisor-branded websites, plus at TripAdvisor’s discretion, any TripAdvisor
subsidiaries and/or syndication partners. 
 Summary: 
  

	 	1.	Expedia may bucket inventory, at the end of each month for the following month, by profitability, or other metrics at Expedia’s sole discretion. The parties may
also re-bucket inventory at other times if and as mutually agreed. TripAdvisor will provide a reasonable number of buckets by Expedia point of sale (“POS”), [**], so Expedia can optimize spend to be most effective based upon referrals,
profitability or strategic objectives. [**]. 

  

	 	2.	 CPC’s are set on a per bucket level per Expedia point of sale, and are set at the end of each month for the following month; provided, however,
that the CPCs are set so that the parties reasonably agree that: (i) the estimated payment for all buckets (in aggregate) in each Expedia POS for the following month represents a percentage of the aggregate estimated gross profit to be earned
by Expedia in that POS for the following month [**] equal to at least [**] for such POS as listed below, and (ii) the estimated payment for each bucket (individually) in each Expedia POS for the following month represents a percentage of the
estimated gross profit to be earned by Expedia for that bucket in that POS for the following month [**] equal to at least [**] as listed below [**]. The parties agree that a reasonable estimation should be based on 30 days’ past history
(through the 20th day of the month prior to the month for
which CPCs are being set or some other mutually agreeable cut-off date) of individual properties (regardless of which bucket they were in the past) and then aggregated based on whichever bucket the properties will be in the following month.
Transactions, gross profit, and other metrics derived from clicks from TripAdvisor to a particular Expedia POS that are then redirected to another POS shall be attributed to the first Expedia POS (as will the clicks). All calculations and payments
shall be based on the number of clicks tracked and counted by TripAdvisor.

this document have been redacted pursuant to a Request for Confidential Treatment filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Redacted portions are indicated with

	 	3.	In the event that the actual payment [**] than an amount equal to [**] for that POS [**], then [**]. 


 

	 	4.	In the event that the actual payment [**] than [**] for that POS [**], then [**]. 


 

	 	5.	The [**] shall be as follows: 

  

	 	•	 	 [**] 


  

	 	•	 	 [**] 


  

	 	•	 	 [**] 


  

	 	•	 	 [**] 


  

	 	•	 	 [**] 


  

	 	•	 	 Note: the [**] for each Expedia POS shall also apply to any traffic to such POS from users in countries without an Expedia POS; provided, however, that
if such traffic is in separate buckets from the rest of such POS’s buckets (e.g. current [**] providers pointed to [**]) then such separate buckets (in aggregate) for such POS shall be treated as a separate POS for purposes of the calculations
in Paragraphs 2 and 4 of this Schedule 
(e.g. [**] buckets pointed to [**] are treated as their own POS [**]. 


  

	 	•	 	 Air Meta Economics. Notwithstanding the above, the [**] for each Meta air placement (in each POS) shall be [**]. Each meta bucket will act as a
standalone POS for purposes of calculating POS floors and bucket level CPC setting (i.e. Expedia cannot bid [**]on any meta bucket), and the meta spend and gross profit will be ignored for purposes of setting non-meta bucket CPCs and calculating POS
(non-meta) end-of-month true-ups [**]. 


  

	 	6.	 If both parties agree, Expedia may exceptionally adjust bid levels mid-month in response to shocks at Expedia and/or TripAdvisor (e.g., site outages,
dramatic traffic quality changes, etc.). In the event of site outages or natural or man-made disasters, Expedia may pause campaigns in the appropriate regions if the parties don’t agree on appropriate bid adjustments. In the event of dramatic
traffic quality changes that TripAdvisor knew about in advance but did not inform Expedia of, then the agreed-upon CPC changes shall be retroactive to the later of: (i) three days prior to the agreed CPC change, or (ii) the traffic quality
change. In addition, Expedia may change its CPCs for the buckets in any point of sale, effective as of the
15th day of a month, if: (i) it shows (to
TripAdvisor’s reasonable satisfaction) that, for the 15 days immediately prior to the 5th day of such month, its overall marketing efficiency (cost of clicks delivered during such period at the previously-determined CPCs divided by the gross profit from such clicks) for the
TripAdvisor-sourced traffic for such POS is [**] points [**] than it was anticipated to be at the time the CPCs were set for such month (e.g. if the CPCs for the month were initially set so as to hit an efficiency of [**] but the actual efficiency
for the 15-day period leading up to the 5th day of a month
was [**]), and (ii) it gives TripAdvisor notice of (and details of) the requested changes at least 3 business days prior to the 15th of such month, and (iii) such CPCs meet all the requirements of Paragraph 2 of this Schedule (as applied to
the 15 day period leading up to the 5th day of such
month). Other CPC reductions may be made from time to time if mutually agreed upon. In addition, Expedia may (for financial, strategic, competitive, or other reasons) raise its CPCs on any buckets in any POS: (i) effective on the 15th day of a month if it gives TripAdvisor notice of such changes at
least 3 business days prior to the 15th day of such month,
or (ii) subject to TripAdvisor approval, at other times.

	 	7.	Commerce ordering and display (e.g. checking/unchecking check rates, ad order and rotation, number of ads, advertiser rank, decisions to discontinue or change current
placements and/or create new placements, etc.) is at TripAdvisor’s sole discretion for all placements; [**] 

  

	 	8.	Expedia will provide to TripAdvisor: [**] and (iii) any other data necessary for the calculations under this agreement. Expedia will also continue to provide
TripAdvisor with: [**]. The parties will also work together in good faith regarding possible sharing of additional non-competitive metrics. 

  

	 	9.	TripAdvisor will provide to Expedia: [**]. 

  

	 	10.	Expedia/Expedia JV/Hotels.com/Venere may share bids and/or bucketing schemas among themselves to facilitate internal transparency. 


 

	 	11.	[**] 

  

	 	12.	This Schedule does not apply to the “exit window” or to display media, which are covered separately. 


 

	 	13.	This Schedule also applies to Expedia CPC links located on TripAdvisor’s “Activities” listing [**] 


 

	 	14.	Expedia provides an open order (no limitation on inventory, no budget or click caps). [**] 


 

	 	15.	In the event that Expedia changes the attribution model [**] or the manner in which gross profit is calculated or any other calculation that has the effect of
materially changing the amount of gross profit to which the [**] are applied, then the parties will negotiate in good faith to make an appropriate change (either up or down) to the [**]. For clarity, such adjustments would not be made for changes in
actual financial performance such as changes in ADR or amounts paid by suppliers or conversion rates.
