 Exhibit 10.17 
 WYNDHAM WORLDWIDE CORPORATION 
 2006 EQUITY AND INCENTIVE PLAN, AS AMENDED

 AWARD AGREEMENT – RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS 

This Award Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated as of             
    , 20    , is by and between Wyndham Worldwide Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the grantee indicated on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Grantee”), pursuant to
the terms and conditions of the Wyndham Worldwide Corporation 2006 Equity and Incentive Plan, as Amended. 
 In consideration of
the provisions contained in this Agreement, the Company and the Grantee agree as follows: 
 1. The Plan. The Award
granted to the Grantee hereunder is made pursuant to the Plan. A copy of the Plan and a prospectus for the Plan are attached hereto and the terms of the Plan are hereby incorporated in this Agreement. Terms used in this Agreement which are not
defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings used or defined in the Plan. 
 2. Award. Concurrently with the
execution of this Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement, the Company hereby grants the Award indicated on Exhibit A attached to this Agreement (the “Award”) to the Grantee. Upon the vesting
of the Award, as described in Paragraph 3 below, the Company shall deliver, no later than March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which all or portion of the Award vests, for each Restricted Stock Unit that vests, one share
of Stock; provided, however, that the Grantee shall remain required to remit to the Company such amount that the Company determines is necessary to meet all required minimum withholding taxes. 

3. Schedule of Lapse of Restrictions. Subject to Paragraph 4 below, the Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder shall vest in the
manner set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto, subject to the Grantee’s continuous employment with the Company through each respective vesting date. Upon (i) a “Change in Control” occurring during the Grantee’s continuous
employment, (ii) the Grantee’s termination of employment by reason of death or Disability or (iii) if applicable, such other event as set forth in the Grantee’s written agreement of employment with the Company, the Award shall
become immediately and fully vested, subject to any terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and/or imposed by the Committee. 

4. Termination of Employment. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, and, if applicable, subject
to Grantee’s written agreement of employment with the Company, upon the termination of the Grantee’s employment with the Company and its subsidiaries for any reason whatsoever (other than death or Disability), the Award, to the extent not
yet vested, shall immediately and automatically terminate. 
 5. No Rights to Continued Employment. Neither this
Agreement nor the Award shall be construed as giving Grantee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or shall interfere in any way with the right of the Company to terminate such

 
employment. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Award, this Agreement or any other agreement (written or oral) to the contrary, for purposes of the Plan and the Award, a
termination of employment shall be deemed to have occurred on the date upon which the Grantee ceases to perform active employment duties for the Company following the provision of any notification of termination or resignation from employment, and
without regard to any period of notice of termination of employment (whether expressed or implied) or any period or severance or salary continuation. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Award, this Agreement or any other agreement
(written or oral) to the contrary, the Grantee shall not be entitled (and by accepting an Award, thereby irrevocably waives any such entitlement), by way of compensation for loss of office or otherwise, to any sum or other benefit to compensate the
Grantee for the loss of any rights under the Plan as a result of the termination or expiration of an Award in connection with any termination of employment. No amounts earned pursuant to the Plan or any Award shall be deemed to be eligible
compensation in respect of any other plan of Wyndham Worldwide Corporation or any subsidiaries. 
 6. Tax Obligations. As
a condition to the granting of the Award and the vesting thereof, the Grantee agrees to remit to the Company of any of its applicable subsidiaries such sum as may be necessary to discharge the Company’s or such subsidiary’s obligations
with respect to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed on property or income received by Grantee pursuant to this Agreement and the Award by having the Company automatically withhold upon any vesting of this Award a sufficient
number of the shares so vesting to satisfy any such obligations. Accordingly, the Grantee agrees to remit to the Company or applicable subsidiary any and all required minimum withholding taxes. 

7. No Advice Regarding Grant. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any
recommendations regarding your participation in the Plan, or your acquisition or sale of the underlying shares of Stock. You are hereby advised to consult with your own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding your participation in the
Plan before taking any action related to the Plan. 
 8. Failure to Enforce Not a Waiver. The failure of the Company to
enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of such provision or of any other provision hereof. 
 9. Authority. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company shall have full authority to interpret and construe the terms of the Plan and this Agreement. The determination of
the Committee as to any such matter of interpretation or construction shall be final, binding and conclusive on all parties. 

10. Rights as a Stockholder. The Grantee shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to any shares of Stock
underlying or relating to any Award until the issuance of Stock to the Grantee in respect of such Award; provided, however, that in the event the Board of Directors of the Company shall declare a dividend on the Stock, a dividend equivalent equal to
the per share amount of such dividend shall be credited on all Restricted Stock Units underlying the Award and outstanding on the record date for such dividend, such dividend equivalents to be payable in cash without interest on the vesting date of
the Restricted Stock Units on which the dividend equivalents were credited and shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions as the Restricted Stock Units on which the dividend equivalents were credited. 

 11. Code Section 409A. Although the Company does not guarantee to the Grantee
any particular tax treatment relating to the Award, it is intended that the Award be exempt from Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (collectively, “Code
Section 409A”), and this Agreement shall be construed in a manner consistent with the requirements for avoiding taxes or penalties under Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event whatsoever shall
the Company or any of its affiliates be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalties that may be imposed on the Grantee by Code Section 409A or any damages for failing to comply with Code Section 409A. 

12. Electronic Delivery and Acceptance. The Company may, in its sole discretion, elect to deliver any documents related to current
or future participation in the Plan by electronic means. Grantee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company
or a third party designated by the Company. 
 13. No Assignment. This Agreement (and the Award) may not be assigned by
the Grantee by operation of law or otherwise. 
 14. Notices. Any notice required or permitted under this
Agreement shall be deemed given when delivered personally, or when deposited in a United States Post Office, postage prepaid, addressed, as appropriate, to the Grantee at the last address specified in Grantee’s employment records, or such other
address as the Grantee may designate in writing to the Company, or the Company, Attention: General Counsel, or such other address as the Company may designate in writing to the Grantee. 

15. Amendments. This Agreement may be amended or modified at any time by an instrument in writing signed by the
parties to this Agreement. 
 16. Governing Law. This Agreement and the legal relations
between the parties shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without effect to the conflicts of laws principles thereof. For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises under the Award or
this Agreement, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the jurisdiction of the State of New Jersey, agree that such litigation shall be conducted in the federal courts for the United States for the District of New Jersey, where this grant is
made and/or to be performed. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement is effective as of the date first above
written.

 In consideration of the provisions contained in this Agreement, the Company and the Grantee agree as follows: 

1. The Plan. The Award granted to the Grantee hereunder is made pursuant to the Plan. A copy of the Plan and a prospectus for the
Plan are attached hereto and the terms of the Plan are hereby incorporated in this Agreement. Terms used in this Agreement which are not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings used or defined in the Plan. 

2. Award. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this
Agreement, the Company hereby grants the Award indicated on Exhibit A attached to this Agreement (the “Award”) to the Grantee, with an “Exercise Price Per SSAR” as indicated on Exhibit A attached, which, upon exercise, shall be
settled by the Company in shares of Stock. The Award has been granted as of the date hereof and shall terminate on the Expiration Date specified on Exhibit A attached, subject to earlier termination as provided herein and in the Plan. Upon the
termination or expiration of the Award, all rights of the Grantee in respect of this Award hereunder shall cease. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and this Agreement, the Award shall vest in accordance with the schedule set forth on Exhibit A
attached hereto and as further described in Section 3 below. 
 Upon the Grantee’s exercise of the Award, in whole or
in part, the Grantee shall receive from the Company, a number of shares of Stock determined by taking the excess (if any) of (i) the aggregate Fair Market Value of all of the Stock subject to the Award or portion thereof being exercised
(determined as of the time of exercise) less (ii) the aggregate “Exercise Price Per SSAR” of all of the Stock subject to the Award or portion thereof being exercised, and dividing the result by the Fair Market Value of one share of
Stock determined as of the time of exercise, with any fractional share being payable in cash based on the Fair Market Value on the date of exercise. 
 3. Schedule of Lapse of Restrictions. Subject to Paragraph 4 below, the Stock Settled Stock Appreciation Rights granted hereunder shall vest in the manner set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto,
subject to the Grantee’s continuous employment with the Company through each respective vesting date. Upon (i) a “Change in Control”, (ii) the Grantee’s termination of

employment, and without regard to any period of notice of termination of employment (whether expressed or implied) or any period of severance or salary continuation. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Award, this Agreement or any
other agreement (written or oral) to the contrary, the Grantee shall not be entitled (and by accepting an Award, thereby irrevocably waives any such entitlement), by way of compensation for loss of office or otherwise, to any sum or other benefit to
compensate the Grantee for the loss of any rights under the Plan as a result of the termination or expiration of an Award in connection with any termination of employment. No amounts earned pursuant to the Plan or any Award shall be deemed to be
eligible compensation in respect of any other plan of Wyndham Worldwide Corporation or any of its subsidiaries.
