Form of TripAdvisor, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors

 EXHIBIT 10.16 
 Form of TripAdvisor, Inc. 
 Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee
Directors 
 1. PURPOSE. The purpose of the TripAdvisor, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors
(the “Plan”) is to provide non-employee directors of TripAdvisor, Inc. (or any successor thereto) (the “Company”) with an opportunity to defer Director Fees (as defined in paragraph 4(b) below). 

2. EFFECTIVE DATE. The Plan is effective as of
[                    ], 2011 (the “Effective Date”). 
 3. ELIGIBILITY. Any member of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) who is not an employee of the Company or of any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company is eligible
to participate in the Plan. 
 4. ELECTION TO DEFER COMPENSATION. 

(a) Time of Eligibility. An election to defer Director Fees by a newly elected director shall be made by such
director within the 30-day period following his or her election to the Board, which election shall apply only to Director Fees earned for services performed after the date of such election. A director who has either (i) not previously elected
to defer Director Fees or (ii) discontinued (or wishes to modify) a prior election to defer Director Fees may elect to defer Director Fees (or modify an existing deferral election) by giving written notice to the Company on or prior to
November 1 of each year (or such other date as may be determined from time to time by the Secretary of the Company in accordance with paragraph 10 of the Plan and in compliance with applicable law). Any such election described in the
immediately preceding sentence only shall apply to Director Fees earned for services performed during the calendar year following such written notice. The effectiveness of a given election shall continue until the participant’s Separation from
Service, as defined in Section 14 of the Plan, or until the end of the calendar year during which the participant gives the Company written notice of its discontinuance or modification, whichever shall occur first. Any notice of discontinuance
or modification shall operate prospectively from the first day of the calendar year following the receipt of such written notice by the Secretary of the Company, and Director Fees payable during any subsequent calendar year either shall be paid
(absent any timely future deferral election) or deferred in accordance with the terms of the discontinuance or modified election, as applicable; provided, however, that Director Fees theretofore deferred shall continue to be withheld
and shall be paid in accordance with the notice of election pursuant to which they were withheld. All written notices regarding deferral elections and/or the discontinuance or modification of prior deferral elections shall be made on a form
prescribed by the Company. 
 (b) Amount of Deferral. A participant may elect to defer receipt of all or a
specified portion of the cash fees receivable by such participant for services performed as a director of the Company (which amounts shall include fees for services as a member of one or more Committee(s) of the Board and meeting attendance fees, if
any (among other 

 
fees), as and if applicable from time to time) that are otherwise payable to the participant in cash (the “Director Fees”). 

(c) Manner of Electing Deferral. A participant shall elect to defer Director Fees by giving written notice to the
Company in a form prescribed by the Company. Such notice shall include: 
 (i) the percentage or amount of
Director Fees to be deferred (the “Deferred Fees”); 
 (ii) the allocation of the Deferred Fees
between the “Cash Fund” or “Share Units;” and 
 (iii) in
the case of a participant’s initial election only, an election of a lump-sum payment or of a number of annual installments (not to exceed five) for the payment of the Deferred Fees (plus the amounts (if any) credited under Section 5), with
such lump-sum payment or the first installment payment occurring on January 15th of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the participant’s Separation from Service occurs, with any successive annual installment payments to be made on January 15th of each such year. Any payment election made by a participant in
connection with his or her initial election to participate in the Plan shall apply to all Deferred Fees, whether covered by the initial deferral election or a subsequent deferral election. 

5. DEFERRED COMPENSATION ACCOUNT. The Company shall establish a book-entry account for each participant to record the
participant’s Deferred Fees (the “Account”). 
 (a) For Deferred Fees allocated by the
participant to the Cash Fund: 
 (i) at the time the Director Fees otherwise would have been payable, the Account
will be credited with the amount of the Deferred Fees, receipt of which the participant has elected to defer, and 
 (ii) at the end of each calendar year or terminal portion of a year, the Account will be credited with deemed interest, at an annual rate equivalent to the weighted average prime or base lending rate of
JP Morgan Chase Bank (including any successor thereto or such other financial institution that may be selected from time to time by the Secretary of the Company in accordance with paragraph 10 of the Plan and in accordance with applicable law) for
the relevant year or portion thereof (the “Interest Equivalents”), upon the average daily balance in the Account during such year or portion thereof. 

(b) For Deferred Fees allocated by the participant to Share Units: 

(i) at the time the Director Fees would otherwise have been payable, (A) the Account will be credited with the amount
of the Deferred Fees, receipt of which the participant has elected to defer and (B) such amount of Deferred Fees 

  
 -2-

 
shall be converted on such date in book entry to a number of “Share Units” (computed to the nearest 1/1000 of a share) equal to the number of shares of common stock, par value $0.001
per share (“Common Stock”), of the Company that could have been purchased on such date with such amount of Deferred Fees, using the closing price for the Common Stock on such date (or, if such date is not a trading day, on the next
preceding trading day) on The NASDAQ Stock Market’s National Market System (“NASDAQ”) or, if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted on NASDAQ, the principal stock exchange on which the Common Stock is then traded;

 (ii) on each date on which a cash dividend is paid on the Common Stock, the Account will be credited with the
number of Share Units (computed to the nearest 1/1000 of a share) which theoretically could have been purchased with the amount of cash dividends payable on the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Share Units in the
participant’s Account immediately prior to the payment of such dividend; the number of additional Share Units shall be calculated as in paragraph 5(b)(i) above, provided that, with respect to the payment of any other dividends, the Share Units
in the Account shall be adjusted in the manner provided in paragraph 7(c); and 
 (iii) on the date of the
occurrence of any event described in paragraph 7(c) below, the Account will be credited with the number of Shares Units necessary for an equitable adjustment, which adjustment shall be determined in accordance with paragraphs 7(c) and 10 of the Plan
and in accordance with applicable law. 
 6. VALUE OF DEFERRED COMPENSATION ACCOUNTS. The value of each
participant’s Account on any date shall consist of (a) in the case of the Cash Fund, the sum of the Deferred Fees credited in accordance with paragraph 5 above and the Interest Equivalents credited through such date, if any, and
(b) in the case of the Share Units, the market value of the corresponding number of shares of Common Stock on such date, determined using the closing price for the Common Stock on such date (or, if such date is not a trading day, on the next
preceding trading day) on NASDAQ, or if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted on NASDAQ, the principal stock exchange on which the Common Stock is then traded. A participant’s Account shall be credited with Interest Equivalents or
additional Share Units, if any, as applicable for so long as there is an outstanding balance credited to the Participant’s Account. 
 7. PAYMENT OF DEFERRED COMPENSATION. No payment shall be made from a participant’s Account except as follows: 

(a) The balance of Deferred Fees and Interest Equivalents in a participant’s Account credited to the Cash Fund shall
be paid in cash in the manner elected in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 4(c) above. If annual installments are elected, the amount of the first payment shall be a fraction of the balance in the participant’s Account as of the
December 31 of the year preceding such payment, the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is the total number of annual 

  
 -3-

 
installments elected. The amount of each subsequent payment shall be a fraction of the balance in the participant’s Account as of December 31 of the year preceding each subsequent
payment, the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is the total number of installments elected minus the number of installments previously paid. 

(b) The balance in a participant’s Account credited to Share Units shall be paid in the number of actual shares of
Common Stock equal to the whole number of Share Units in the participant’s Account. If annual installments are elected, the whole number of shares of Common Stock in the first payment shall be a fraction of the number of Share Units in the
participant’s Account as of December 31 of the year preceding such payment, the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is the total number of annual installments elected. The whole number of shares of Common Stock in each
subsequent payment shall be a fraction of the Share Units in the participant’s Account as of December 31 of the year preceding each subsequent payment, the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is the total number of
installments elected minus the number of installments previously paid. A cash payments in lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock issuable in respect of fractional Share Units, if applicable, shall be made with the last payment. 

(c) In the event of any merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or shares, stock rights offering, liquidation,
disaffiliation, or similar event affecting the Company or any of its subsidiaries, the Board or the Compensation Committee (or such other Committee as the Board may from time to time designate) (the “Committee”) may make such
equitable substitutions or adjustments in the aggregate number of Share Units in a participant’s Account, in the form or type of property represented by such Share Units and in the number and kind of shares reserved for issuance as the Board or
the Committee deems appropriate. In the event of a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, separation, spinoff, reorganization, extraordinary dividend of cash or other property, share combination, or recapitalization or similar event
affecting the capital structure of the Company, the Committee or the Board shall make such substitutions or adjustments as it deems appropriate and equitable to the aggregate number of Share Units in a participant’s Account, in the form or type
of property represented by such Share Units and in the number and kind of shares reserved for issuance. Any successor corporation or other acquirer of the Company shall be required to assume the Company’s obligations hereunder and substitute an
appropriate number of shares of stock or other equity measure of such successor entity for Share Units. 
 8.
PARTICIPANT’S RIGHTS UNSECURED. The right of a participant to receive any unpaid portion of the participant’s Account, whether the Cash Fund or Share Units, shall be an unsecured claim against the general assets of the Company.

 9. NONASSIGNABILITY. The right of a participant to receive any unpaid portion of the participant’s Account shall
not be assigned, transferred, pledged or encumbered or be subject in any manner to alienation or anticipation. 

  
 -4-

 10. ADMINISTRATION. This Plan shall be administered by the Secretary of the Company,
who shall have the authority to adopt rules and regulations for carrying out the Plan and to interpret, construe and implement the provisions thereof. 
 11. STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN. The total number of Share Units that may be credited to the Accounts of all eligible directors, and, subject to Section 7(c) of the Plan, the total number of shares
of Common Stock reserved and available for issuance, under the Plan shall be 100,000. 
 12. CONDITIONS UPON ISSUANCE OF
COMMON STOCK. Shares of Common Stock shall not be issued pursuant to the Plan unless the issuance and delivery of such shares pursuant hereto shall comply with all relevant provisions of law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the shares of Common Stock may then be listed, and shall be further subject to
the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance. 
 13. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION. This Plan may
be amended, modified or terminated at any time by the Committee or the Board; provided, however, that no such amendment, modification or termination shall, without the consent of a participant, adversely affect such participant’s
rights with respect to amounts theretofore accrued to the participant’s Account and any amendment or termination of the Plan shall be effected in accordance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. 

14. SECTION 409A OF THE CODE. 
 (a) The terms and conditions of the Plan are intended to comply (and shall be interpreted in accordance) with Section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder. 

(b) For purposes of this Plan, “Separation from Service” shall mean a “separation from service,” as
defined in Section 409A of the Code. 
 (c) No action shall be taken under the Plan that will cause any
Account to fail to comply in any respect with Section 409A of the Code without the written consent of the participant. 
 (d) Any adjustments to Share Units and/or cash payments made pursuant to paragraph 7(c) shall be made (i) in compliance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and (ii) in such a
manner as to ensure that after such adjustment and/or cash payment the Share Units or Deferred Fees comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. 

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, if the participant is a Specified Employee at the
time of his or her Separation from Service, any payment to be made to a participant upon his or her Separation from Service shall be delayed until the earlier of (i) first day of the seventh month following his or her Separation from Service or
(ii) the participant’s death. For purposes of this Plan, “Specified Employee” shall mean any Participant who is a “key employee” (as defined in 

  
 -5-

 
Code Section 416(i) without regard to paragraph (5) thereof), as determined by the Company in accordance with its uniform policy with respect to all arrangements subject to Code
Section 409A, based upon the twelve (12) month period ending on each December 31st. All participants who are determined to be key employees under Code Section 416(i)(1)(A)(i), (ii) or (iii) (without regard to paragraph (5) thereof) on December 31st shall be treated as Specified Employees for purposes of the Plan
during the twelve (12) month period that begins on the following April 1st.

 STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS 

1. TERMINATION OF EXECUTIVE’S EMPLOYMENT. 
 (a) DEATH. Upon termination of Executive’s employment prior to the expiration of the Term by reason of Executive’s death, the Company shall pay Executive’s designated beneficiary or
beneficiaries, within 30 days of Executive’s death in a lump sum in cash, (i) Executive’s Base Salary from the date of Executive’s death through the end of the month in which Executive’s death occurs and (ii) any
Accrued Obligations (as defined in Section 1(f) below). 
 (b) DISABILITY. If, as a result of Executive’s incapacity due to
physical or mental illness (“Disability”), Executive shall have been absent from the full-time performance of Executive’s duties with the Company for a period of four consecutive months and, within 30 days after written notice is
provided to Executive by the Company (in accordance with Section 4A hereof), Executive shall not have returned to the full-time performance of Executive’s duties, Executive’s employment under this Agreement may be terminated by the
Company for Disability. During any period prior to such termination during which Executive is absent from the full-time performance of Executive’s duties with the Company due to Disability, the Company shall continue to pay Executive’s
Base Salary at the rate in effect at the commencement of such period of Disability, offset by any amounts payable to Executive under any disability insurance plan or policy provided by the Company. Upon termination of Executive’s employment due
to Disability, the Company shall pay Executive within 30 days of such termination (i) Executive’s Base Salary through the end of the month in which Executive’s termination of employment for Disability occurs in equal biweekly
installments, offset by any amounts payable to Executive under any disability insurance plan or policy provided by the Company; and (ii) any Accrued Obligations in a lump sum in cash. 
 (c) TERMINATION FOR CAUSE; RESIGNATION WITHOUT GOOD REASON. The Company may terminate Executive’s employment under this Agreement with or without Cause at any time and Executive may resign
under this Agreement with or without Good Reason at any time. As used herein, “Cause” shall mean: (i) the plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, conviction for, or the commission of, a felony offense by Executive; provided,
however, that after indictment, the Company may suspend Executive from the rendition of services, but without limiting or modifying in any other way the Company’s obligations under this Agreement; (ii) a material breach by Executive
of a fiduciary duty owed to the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (iii) a material breach by Executive of any of the covenants made by Executive in Section 2 hereof; (iv) the willful or gross neglect by Executive of the material
duties required by this Agreement; or (v) a knowing and material violation by Executive of any Company policy pertaining to ethics, legal compliance, wrongdoing or conflicts of interest that, in the case of the conduct described in clauses
(iv) or (v) above, if curable, is not cured by Executive within 30 days after Executive is provided with written notice thereof. Upon Executive’s (A) termination of employment by the Company for Cause prior to the expiration of
the Term or (B) resignation without Good Reason prior to the expiration of the Term, this Agreement shall terminate without further obligation by the Company, except for the payment of any Accrued Obligations in a lump sum in cash within 30
days of such termination. 

 (d) TERMINATION BY THE COMPANY OTHER THAN FOR DEATH, DISABILITY OR CAUSE OR RESIGNATION BY EXECUTIVE FOR
GOOD REASON. Upon termination of Executive’s employment prior to the expiration of the Term by the Company without Cause (other than for death or Disability) or by Executive for Good Reason (as defined below), then: 

(i) the Company shall continue to pay Executive the Base Salary through the longer of (x) the end of the Term over the course of the
then remaining Term and (y) 12 months (such period, the “Salary Continuation Period” and such payments, the “Cash Severance Payments”), in each case payable in equal biweekly installments and the Company shall pay in cash to
Executive (within 10 business days of each applicable monthly period) for each month between the date of termination and the end of the Salary Continuation Period an amount equal to the premiums charged by the Company to maintain COBRA benefits
continuation coverage for Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents to the extent such coverage is then in place; 

(ii) the Company shall pay Executive within 30 days of the date of such termination in a lump sum in cash any Accrued Obligations;

 (iii) the Company will consider in good faith the payment of a discretionary bonus on a pro rata basis for the year in
which the Termination of Employment occurs, any such payment to be paid (if at all) based on actual performance during the year in which termination has occurred and based on the number of days of employment during such year relative to 365 days
(payable in a lump sum at the time such annual bonus would otherwise have been paid); 
 (iv) any compensation awards of
Executive based on, or in the form of, Company equity (e.g. restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock options or similar instruments) (“Equity Awards”) that are outstanding and unvested at the time of such termination but which
would, but for a termination of employment, have vested during the 12 months following such termination (such period, the “Equity Acceleration Period”) shall vest (and with respect to awards other than stock options and stock appreciation
rights, settle) as of the date of such termination of employment; provided that any outstanding award with a vesting schedule that would, but for a termination of employment, have resulted in a smaller percentage (or none) of the award being
vested through the end of such Equity Acceleration Period than if it vested annually pro rata over its vesting period shall, for purposes of this provision, be treated as though it vested annually pro rata over its vesting period (e.g., if 100
restricted stock units (“RSUs”) were granted 2.7 years prior to the date of the termination and vested pro rata on each of the first five anniversaries of the grant date and 100 RSUs were granted 1.7 years prior to the date of termination
and vested on the fifth anniversary of the grant date, then on the date of termination 20 RSUs from the first award and 40 RSUs from the second award would vest and settle); provided further that any amount that would vest under this
provision but for the fact that outstanding performance conditions have not been satisfied shall vest (and with respect to awards other than stock options and stock appreciation rights, settle) only if, and at such point as, such performance
conditions are satisfied; and provided further that if any Equity Awards made subsequent to the Effective Date of this Agreement specifies a more favorable post-

  
 2 

 
termination vesting schedule for such equity, the terms of the award agreement for such Equity Award shall govern; and 
 (v) any then vested options of Executive (including options vesting as a result of (iv) above) to purchase Company equity, shall remain exercisable through the date that is 18 months following the
date of such termination or, if earlier, through the scheduled expiration date of such options. 
 The expiration of the Term shall not give
rise to any payment to Executive or acceleration obligation under this Section 1(d). The payment to Executive of the severance pay or benefits described in Section 1(d) (other than any Accrued Obligations) is contingent upon Executive
signing and not revoking a separation and release of the Company and its affiliates in a form substantially similar to that used for similarly situated executives of the Company (the “Release”), the offset provisions in Section 1(e),
and Executive’s compliance with the restrictive covenants set forth in Section 2 (other than any non-compliance that is immaterial, does not result in harm to the Company or its affiliates, and, if curable, is cured by Executive promptly
after receipt of notice thereof given by the Company). The Release must become effective no later than sixty (60) days following Executive’s employment termination date or such earlier date required by the Release (such deadline, the
“Release Deadline”). If the Release does not become effective by the Release Deadline, Executive will forfeit any rights to severance. In no event will severance payments or benefits (other than any Accrued Obligations) be paid or provided
until the Release becomes effective and irrevocable. Upon the Release becoming effective and irrevocable, any payments delayed from the date Executive terminates employment through the effective date of the Release will be payable in a lump sum
without interest as soon as administratively practicable after the Release Deadline and all other amounts will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit. In the event the termination occurs at a time
during the calendar year where the Release could become effective in the calendar year following the calendar year in which Executive’s termination occurs, then any severance payments or benefits that would be considered Deferred Payments (as
defined below) will be paid on the first payroll date to occur during the calendar year following the calendar year in which such termination occurs, or, if later, (i) the Release Deadline, (ii) such time as required by the payment
schedule provided above that is applicable to each payment or benefit, or (iii) the Delayed Initial Payment Date (as defined below). Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s payment of severance pay and benefits (except Accrued
Obligations) constitutes good and valuable consideration for such Release. 
 As used herein, “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence
of any of the following without Executive’s prior written consent: (A) the Company’s material breach of any material provision of this Agreement, (B) the material reduction in Executive’s title, duties, reporting
responsibilities or level of responsibilities as Chief Financial Officer of the Company, excluding for this purpose any such reduction that is an isolated and inadvertent action not taken in bad faith or that is authorized pursuant to this
Agreement, (C) the material reduction in Executive’s Base Salary or Executive’s total annual compensation opportunity, or (D) the relocation of Executive’s principal place of employment more than 50 miles outside the Seattle
metropolitan area, provided that in no event shall Executive’s resignation be for “Good Reason” unless (x) an event or circumstance set forth in clauses (A) through (D) shall have occurred and Executive

  
 3 

 
provides the Company with written notice thereof within 30 days after Executive has knowledge of the occurrence or existence of such event or circumstance, which notice specifically identifies
the event or circumstance that Executive believes constitutes Good Reason, (y) the Company fails to correct the circumstance or event so identified within 30 days after receipt of such notice, and (z) Executive resigns within 90 days after
the date of delivery of the notice referred to in clause (x) above. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 1(d), in the event that Executive is a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A) on
the date of termination of Executive’s employment with the Company and the Cash Severance Payments to be paid within the first six months following such date (the “Initial Payment Period”) exceed the amount referenced in Treas. Regs.
Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)(A) (the “Limit”), then (1) any portion of the Cash Severance Payments that is a “short-term deferral” within the meaning of Treas. Regs. Section 1.409A-1(b)(4)(i) shall be paid at the
times set forth in Section 1(d), (2) any portion of the Cash Severance Payments (in addition to the amounts contemplated by the immediately preceding clause (1)) that is payable during the Initial Payment Period that does not exceed
the Limit shall be paid at the times set forth in Section 1(d) as applicable, (3) any portion of the Cash Severance Payments that exceeds the Limit and is not a “short-term deferral” (and would have been payable during the
Initial Payment Period but for the Limit) shall be paid, with Interest, on the first business day of the first calendar month that begins after the six-month anniversary of Executive’s “separation from service” (within the meaning of
Section 409A) and (4) any portion of the Cash Severance Payments that is payable after the Initial Payment Period shall be paid at the times set forth in Section 1(d). For purposes of this Agreement, “Interest” shall mean
interest at the applicable federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2)(A) of the Code, from the date on which payment would otherwise have been made but for any required delay through the date of payment. 

(e) OFFSET. If Executive obtains other employment during the Salary Continuation Period, any payments to be made to Executive under
Section 1(d) hereof after the date such employment is secured shall be offset by the amount of compensation earned by Executive from such employment. For purposes of this Section 1(e), Executive shall have an obligation to inform the
Company regarding Executive’s employment status following termination and during the Salary Continuation Period, but shall have no affirmative duty to seek alternate employment. 
 (f) ACCRUED OBLIGATIONS. As used in this Agreement, “Accrued Obligations” shall mean the sum of (i) any portion of Executive’s accrued and earned but unpaid Base Salary through
the date of death or termination of employment for any reason, as the case may be; (ii) any compensation previously earned but deferred by Executive (together with any interest or earnings thereon) that has not yet been paid and that is not
otherwise paid at a later date pursuant to any deferred compensation arrangement of the Company to which Executive is a party, if any (provided, that any election made by Executive pursuant to any deferred compensation arrangement that is subject to
Section 409A regarding the schedule for payment of such deferred compensation shall prevail over this Section 1(f) to the extent inconsistent herewith); and (iii) other than in the event of Executive’s resignation without Good
Reason or termination by the Company for Cause (except as required by applicable law), any portion of Executive’s accrued but unpaid vacation pay through the date of death or termination of employment.

 (g) OTHER BENEFITS. Upon any termination of Executive’s employment prior to the expiration of
the Term, Executive shall remain entitled to receive any vested benefits or amounts that Executive is otherwise entitled to receive under any plan, policy, practice or program of, or any other contract or agreement with, the Company in accordance
with the terms thereof (other than any such plan, policy, practice or program of the Company that provides benefits in the nature of severance or continuation pay). 
 (h) SECTION 409A. This Agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, including any regulations and guidance issued thereunder (“Section
409A”), to the extent Section 409A is applicable to this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall be interpreted, operated and administered by the Company in a manner consistent
with such intention and to avoid the pre-distribution inclusion in income of amounts deferred under this Agreement and the imposition of any additional tax or interest with respect thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the
extent required in order to comply with Section 409A, amounts that would otherwise be payable under this Agreement during the six-month period immediately following the date of termination of the Employee’s employment shall instead be paid
on the first business day after the date that is six months following the Employee’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. 
 2. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION; DUTY OF LOYALTY; NON-SOLICITATION; AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS. 
 (a) CONFIDENTIALITY. Executive acknowledges that while employed by the Company Executive will occupy a position of trust and confidence. The Company has provided and shall continue to provide
Executive with Confidential Information. Executive shall hold in a fiduciary capacity for benefit of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates, and shall not, except as may be required to perform Executive’s duties hereunder or as
required by applicable law, without limitation in time, communicate, divulge, disseminate, disclose to others or otherwise use, whether directly or indirectly, any Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” shall mean information
about the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, and their respective businesses, employees, consultants, contractors, suppliers, clients and customers that is not disclosed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates for
financial reporting purposes and that was learned by Executive in the course of employment by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, including (without limitation) any proprietary knowledge, trade secrets, data, formulae, processes,
methods, research, secret data, costs, names of users or purchasers of their respective products or services, business methods, operating procedures or programs or methods of promotion and sale, information relating to accounting or tax strategies
and data, information and client and customer lists and all papers, resumes, and records (including computer records) of the documents containing such Confidential Information. For purposes of this Section 2(a), information shall not cease to
be Confidential Information merely because it is embraced by general disclosures for financial reporting purposes or because individual features or combinations thereof are publicly available. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, if Executive
is required to disclose any such confidential or proprietary information pursuant to applicable law or a subpoena or court order, Executive shall promptly notify the Company in writing of any such requirement so that the

  
 5 

 
Company may seek an appropriate protective order or other appropriate remedy or waive compliance with the provisions hereof. Executive shall reasonably cooperate with the Company to obtain such a
protective order or other remedy. If such order or other remedy is not obtained prior to the time Executive is required to make the disclosure, or the Company waives compliance with the provisions hereof, Executive shall disclose only that portion
of the confidential or proprietary information which he is advised by counsel that he is legally required to so disclose. Executive acknowledges that such Confidential Information is specialized, unique in nature and of great value to the Company
and its subsidiaries or affiliates, and that such information gives the Company and its subsidiaries or affiliates a competitive advantage. Executive agrees to deliver or return to the Company, at the Company’s request at any time or upon
termination or expiration of Executive’s employment, all documents, computer tapes and disks, plans, initiatives, strategies, records, lists, data, drawings, prints, notes and written information (and all copies thereof) created by or on behalf
of the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates or prepared by Executive in the course of Executive’s employment by the Company and its subsidiaries or affiliates. As used in this Agreement, “subsidiaries” and “affiliates”
shall mean any company controlled by, controlling or under common control with the Company. 
 (b) DUTY OF LOYALTY. In consideration of
the Company’s promise to disclose, and disclosure of, its Confidential Information and other good and valuable consideration provided hereunder, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by Executive, Executive hereby agrees
and covenants that: Until the longer of (i) the last day of the Term and (ii) a period of 18 months beyond Executive’s date of termination of employment for any reason, including the expiration of the Term (the “Restricted
Period”), Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, engage in, assist or become associated with a Competitive Activity. For purposes of this Section 2(b): (i) a “Competitive Activity” means, at the time of
Executive’s termination, any business or other endeavor in any jurisdiction of a kind being conducted by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates (or demonstrably anticipated by the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates),
including, without limitation, those that are engaged in the provision of any lodging or travel related services (including, without limitation, corporate travel services), in any jurisdiction as of the Effective Date or at any time thereafter (such
affiliates including, without limitation, Hotels.com, Hotwire, Inc. and TripAdvisor); and (ii) Executive shall be considered to have become “associated with a Competitive Activity” if Executive becomes directly or indirectly involved
as an owner, principal, employee, officer, director, independent contractor, representative, stockholder, financial backer, agent, partner, advisor, lender, or in any other individual or representative capacity with any individual, partnership,
corporation or other organization that is engaged in a Competitive Activity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Executive may make and retain investments during the Restricted Period, for investment purposes only, in less than five percent of
the outstanding capital stock of any publicly-traded corporation engaged in a Competitive Activity if stock of such corporation is either listed on a national stock exchange or on the NASDAQ National Market System if Executive is not otherwise
affiliated with such corporation; (ii) Executive may serve as an employee or partner (or otherwise hold an ownership interest) in an investment firm that has an ownership interest in a partnership, corporation or other organization that is
engaged in a Competitive Activity provided such ownership interest does not constitute greater than 20% of such investment firm’s total assets under management and Executive is not directly involved with the provision of direction

  
 6 

 
or management of such entity; and (iii) Executive may serve as an employee of or partner (or otherwise hold an ownership interest) in a consultancy or investment bank engaged in providing
advisory services to entities engaged in Competitive Activities provided that Executive is not directly involved in the provision of the advisory services to such entities. 
 (c) NON-SOLICITATION OF EMPLOYEES. Executive recognizes that he or she will possess Confidential Information about other employees, officers, directors, agents, consultants and independent
contractors of the Company and its subsidiaries or affiliates relating to their education, experience, skills, abilities, compensation and benefits, and inter-personal relationships with suppliers to and customers of the Company and its subsidiaries
or affiliates. Executive recognizes that the information he or she will possess about these employees, officers, directors, agents, consultants and independent contractors is not generally known, is of substantial value to the Company and its
subsidiaries or affiliates in developing their respective businesses and in securing and retaining customers, and will be acquired by Executive because of Executive’s business position with the Company. Executive agrees (i) that, during
the Restricted Period, Executive will not, directly or indirectly, hire or solicit or recruit the employment or services of (i.e., whether as an employee, officer, director, agent, consultant or independent contractor), or encourage to change such
person’s relationship with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, any employee, officer, director, agent, consultant or independent contractor of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates provided,
however, that a general solicitation of the public for employment shall not constitute a solicitation hereunder so long as such general solicitation is not designed to target, or does not have the effect of targeting, any employee, officer,
director, agent, consultant or independent contractor of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates and (ii) that Executive will not convey any Confidential Information or trade secrets about any employees, officers, directors,
agents, consultants and independent contractors of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates to any other person except within the scope of Employee’s duties hereunder. 
 (d) NON-SOLICITATION OF CUSTOMERS, SUPPLIERS, PARTNERS. During the Restricted Period, Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, solicit, attempt
to do business with, or do business with any customers of, suppliers (including providers of travel inventory) to, business partners of or business affiliates of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates (collectively,
“Trade Relationships”) on behalf of any entity engaged in a Competitive Activity, or encourage (regardless of who initiates the contact) any Trade Relationship to use the services of any competitor of the Company or its subsidiaries or
affiliates, or encourage any Trade Relationship to change its relationship with the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates. 
 (e)
PROPRIETARY RIGHTS; ASSIGNMENT. All Executive Developments (as defined below) shall be made for hire by Executive for the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. “Executive Developments” means any idea, discovery,
invention, design, method, technique, improvement, enhancement, development, computer program, machine, algorithm or other work or authorship, in each case, (i) that (A) relates to the business or operations of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or affiliates, or (B) results from or is suggested by any undertaking assigned to Executive or work performed by Executive for or on behalf of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, whether created alone or with
others, during or 

  
 7 

 
after working hours and (ii) that is conceived or developed during the Term. All Confidential Information and all Executive Developments shall remain the sole property of the Company or any
of its subsidiaries or affiliates. Executive shall acquire no proprietary interest in any Confidential Information or Executive Developments developed or acquired during the Term. To the extent Executive may, by operation of law or otherwise,
acquire any right, title or interest in or to any Confidential Information or Executive Development, Executive hereby assigns to the Company all such proprietary rights. Executive shall, both during and after the Term, upon the Company’s
request, promptly execute and deliver to the Company all such assignments, certificates and instruments, and shall promptly perform such other acts, as the Company may from time to time in its reasonable discretion deem necessary or desirable to
evidence, establish, maintain, perfect, enforce or defend the Company’s rights in Confidential Information and Executive Developments. 

(f) COMPLIANCE WITH POLICIES AND PROCEDURES. During the Term, Executive shall adhere to the policies and standards of professionalism set forth in
the Company’s Policies and Procedures as they may exist from time to time. 
 (g) REMEDIES FOR BREACH. Executive expressly agrees
and understands that Executive will notify the Company in writing of any alleged breach of this Agreement by the Company, and the Company will have 30 days from receipt of Executive’s notice to cure any such breach. Executive expressly agrees
and understands that the remedy at law for any breach by Executive of this Section 2 will be inadequate and that damages flowing from such breach are not usually susceptible to being measured in monetary terms. Accordingly, it is acknowledged
that upon Executive’s violation of any provision of this Section 2 the Company shall be entitled to obtain from any court of competent jurisdiction immediate injunctive relief and obtain a temporary order restraining any threatened or
further breach as well as an equitable accounting of all profits or benefits arising out of such violation. Nothing in this Section 2 shall be deemed to limit the Company’s remedies at law or in equity for any breach by Executive of any of
the provisions of this Section 2, which may be pursued by or available to the Company. 
 (h) SURVIVAL OF PROVISIONS. The
obligations contained in this Section 2 shall, to the extent provided in this Section 2, survive the termination or expiration of Executive’s employment with the Company and, as applicable, shall be fully enforceable thereafter in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in any state that any restriction in this Section 2 is excessive in duration or scope or is unreasonable or unenforceable under the laws of
that state, it is the intention of the parties that such restriction may be modified or amended by the court to render it enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by the law of that state. 
 3. MERGER. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and terminates and supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the
parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. Executive acknowledges and agrees that neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf has made, and is not making, and in executing this Agreement, Executive has not relied upon, any
representations, promises or inducements except to the extent the same is expressly set forth in this Agreement. All Stock Option Agreements and Restricted Stock Unit Agreements between 

  
 8 

 
Executive and the Company survive and are hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement. 
 4. ASSIGNMENT; SUCCESSORS. This Agreement is personal in its nature and none of the parties hereto shall, without the consent of the others, assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or
obligations hereunder, provided that, in the event of a transfer of Executive to any entity affiliated with the Company and/or the merger, consolidation, transfer, or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company with or to any other
individual or entity, this Agreement shall, subject to the provisions hereof, be binding upon and inure to the benefit of such successor and such successor shall discharge and perform all the promises, covenants, duties, and obligations of the
Company hereunder, and all references herein to the “Company” shall refer to such successor. 
 5. WITHHOLDING. The Company
shall make such deductions and withhold such amounts from each payment and benefit made or provided to Executive hereunder, as may be required from time to time by applicable law, governmental regulation or order. 

6. HEADING REFERENCES. Section headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of
this Agreement for any other purpose. References to “this Agreement” or the use of the term “hereof” shall refer to these Standard Terms and Conditions and the Employment Agreement attached hereto, taken as a whole. 

7. WAIVER; MODIFICATION. Failure to insist upon strict compliance with any of the terms, covenants, or conditions hereof shall not be deemed a
waiver of such term, covenant, or condition, nor shall any waiver or relinquishment of, or failure to insist upon strict compliance with, any right or power hereunder at any one or more times be deemed a waiver or relinquishment of such right or
power at any other time or times. This Agreement shall not be modified in any respect, or extended beyond expiration of the Term (regardless of continued employment), except by a writing executed by each party hereto. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, neither the assignment of Employee to a different Reporting Officer due to a reorganization or an internal restructuring of the Company or its affiliated companies nor a change in the title of the Reporting Officer shall constitute
a modification or a breach of this Agreement. 
 8. SEVERABILITY. In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any
portion of this Agreement is in violation of any law or public policy, only the portions of this Agreement that violate such law or public policy shall be stricken. All portions of this Agreement that do not violate any statute or public policy
shall continue in full force and effect. Further, any court order striking any portion of this Agreement shall modify the stricken terms as narrowly as possible to give as much effect as possible to the intentions of the parties under this
Agreement. 
 9. INDEMNIFICATION. The Company shall indemnify and hold Employee harmless for acts and omissions in Employee’s
capacity as an officer, director or employee of the Company to 

  
 9 

 
the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, as set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of Expedia, Inc. (Delaware).
