 Exhibit 10.8 

EXECUTION COPY 
 WAIVER AND
AMENDMENT AGREEMENT dated as of December 27, 2013 (this “Agreement”), relating to the CREDIT AGREEMENT dated as of December 20, 2011 (the “Credit Agreement”), among TRIPADVISOR, INC., a Delaware
corporation (“Parent”), TRIPADVISOR HOLDINGS, LLC, a Massachusetts limited liability company, TRIPADVISOR LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and the other BORROWERS from time to time party thereto, the LENDERS from time to
time party thereto, JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and J.P. MORGAN EUROPE LIMITED, as London Agent. 
 WHEREAS, the
Credit Agreement requires Parent to take all actions required to cause the Guarantee Requirement to be and remain satisfied, and the obligation of each Lender to make a Loan on the occasion of any Borrowing, and of each Issuing Bank to issue, amend,
renew or extend any Letter of Credit, is subject, among other conditions, to Parent representing and warranting that the Guarantee Requirement has been and is satisfied; 

WHEREAS, Parent has requested that the Lenders (a) waive the requirement that TripAdvisor Securities Corporation, a Massachusetts
corporation applying to become a Massachusetts security corporation (“TSC”), become a Subsidiary Loan Party and provide certain agreements relating thereto in order to avail itself of certain tax benefits extended to Massachusetts
security corporations under applicable law and (b) amend the definition of “Permitted Holders” to reflect the change of name of Liberty Media Corporation to Liberty Interactive Corporation; and 

WHEREAS, the Lenders whose signatures appear below, comprising the Required Lenders, are willing to agree to the waiver and other matters
requested by Parent on terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein; 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements
herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 

SECTION 1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein (including in the recitals hereto) have the meanings
assigned to them in the Credit Agreement. 
 SECTION 2. Certain Agreements by the Lenders. (a) Each Lender party hereto agrees
that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Credit Agreement, during the TSC Waiver Period (as defined below), TSC shall be deemed not to be a Designated Subsidiary, and shall not be required to become a Subsidiary Loan Party, in each case
for so long as TSC shall be prohibited or restricted (including any restriction requiring consent or approval of any Governmental Authority), as a matter of applicable Massachusetts law, from becoming a Subsidiary Loan Party or otherwise satisfying
the Guarantee Requirement without losing its status as a Massachusetts security corporation 

 
(it being understood and agreed that if all such prohibitions and restrictions shall cease to be in effect, the foregoing waiver shall, without any further action by the parties hereto or
otherwise, cease to continue to be in effect and TSC, if otherwise constituting a Designated Subsidiary, shall be required to satisfy the Guarantee Requirement in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement). The period from the Agreement
Effective Date (as defined below) to the earlier of (i) the 20th Business Day following the first date, if any, on which applicable Massachusetts law permits a Massachusetts security corporation to become a Subsidiary Loan Party or otherwise
satisfy the Guarantee Requirement without losing its status as a Massachusetts security corporation and (ii) the date on which Parent and the Borrowing Subsidiaries shall cease to be required, under the terms of the Credit Agreement, to comply
with their covenants set forth in Article VI of the Credit Agreement is referred to herein as the “TSC Waiver Period”. 

(b) The definition of “Permitted Holders” in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by replacing the reference
to “Liberty Media Corporation” with “Liberty Interactive Corporation”. 
 SECTION 3. Certain Agreements by
Parent. Parent hereby agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Credit Agreement, during the TSC Waiver Period (a) Parent shall not permit TSC (i) to own any assets other than de minimis assets relating to its
organization and existence and cash, Permitted Investments, securities and similar financial assets, provided that the fair value of such cash, Permitted Investments, securities and similar financial assets shall not exceed $300,000,000 in
the aggregate at any time (provided that in determining fair value of such assets, (x) any appreciation in the value of any Permitted Investments and (y) any dividends, distributions or other payments received by TSC with respect to
such Permitted Investments, in each case since the last day of the fiscal quarter of Parent most recently ended and with no carryover from any fiscal quarter of Parent prior to such most recently ended fiscal quarter, shall be disregarded),
(ii) to create, incur, assume or permit to exist any Indebtedness (including any Guarantee of any Indebtedness) or (iii) engage in any business or activities other than ownership of the Permitted Investments and other assets referred to in
clause (i) above and activities incidental thereto and (b) Parent shall cause each Subsidiary that directly or indirectly owns any Equity Interests in TSC to become a Subsidiary Loan Party and otherwise satisfy the Guarantee Requirement
(it being agreed that each such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be a Designated Subsidiary for all purposes of the Credit Agreement), to the extent such Subsidiary is not already a Subsidiary Loan Party and has not already satisfied the Guarantee
Requirement. The agreements of Parent set forth in this Section 3 will, for purposes of Article VII of the Credit Agreement, be deemed to be set forth in Article VI of the Credit Agreement. 

SECTION 4. Representations and Warranties. Parent hereby represents and warrants to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent that 

(a) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Parent and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Parent, enforceable
in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law; 

 (b) as of the Agreement Effective Date, the representations and warranties of each Loan Party set
forth in the Loan Documents are true and correct (i) in the case of the representations and warranties qualified as to materiality, in all respects and (ii) otherwise, in all material respects, with the same effect as if made on and as of
the Agreement Effective Date, except in the case of any such representation and warranty that expressly relates to a prior date, in which case such representation and warranty was so true and correct on and as of such prior date; and 

(c) as of the Agreement Effective Date, no Default or Event of Default will have occurred and be continuing. 

SECTION 5. Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective as of the first date (the “Agreement Effective Date”)
on which the following conditions are met: 
 (a) the Administrative Agent shall have executed this Agreement and shall have received
executed counterparts of this Agreement that, when taken together, bear the signatures of Parent and the Required Lenders; and 
 (b) the
Administrative Agent shall have received reimbursement of the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP, counsel for the Administrative Agent, required to be reimbursed by Parent under the Credit Agreement.

 SECTION 6. Credit Agreement. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Agreement shall not by implication or otherwise limit,
impair, constitute a waiver of or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Agents, the Issuing Banks or the Lenders under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and shall not alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the
terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, all of which are ratified and affirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and effect. Nothing herein shall be
deemed to entitle Parent to a consent to, or a waiver of, any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement as waived hereby in similar or different circumstances. This Agreement is a Loan Document
for all purposes of the Credit Agreement. 
 SECTION 7. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND
GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 SECTION 8. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by
different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by
facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. 

 SECTION 9. Headings. The Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference
only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

 Exhibit 10.12 

TRIPADVISOR, INC. OPTION AGREEMENT 

(Domestic) 
 THIS OPTION
AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of the grant date specified on the Grant Details referenced below (the “Grant Date”), between TripAdvisor, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the employee, director
or consultant of the Company or one of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries designated on the Grant Details (the “Eligible Individual”), describes the terms of an award of Options to the Eligible Individual by the Company. 

All capitalized terms used herein, to the extent not defined, shall have the meanings set forth in the Company’s 2011 Stock and Annual
Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time, the “Plan”). 
  

	1.	Award of Option 

 (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and
the Plan and the Grant Details, the Company hereby grants the Options to the Eligible Individual. Reference is made to the “Grant Details” that can be found on the equity plan website of the current professional selected by the Company to
administer the Plan (the “Plan Administrator”), currently located at www.netbenefits.fidelity.com (or any successor equity administration system selected by the Company to manage the Plan from time to time). Your Grant Details, which sets
forth the number of Options, the grant price which is the per Share exercise price of the Option, the Grant Date of the Option, and the vesting schedule of the Option (among other information), is hereby incorporated by reference into, and shall be
read as part and parcel of, this Agreement. 
 (b) The Option shall be a Nonqualified Option. Unless earlier terminated pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement or the Plan, the Option shall expire on the ten-year anniversary of the Grant Date. 
  

	2.	Vesting 

 Subject to (a) the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the
Grant Details and the Plan, and (b) the Eligible Individual’s continuous employment by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, the Option shall vest and become exercisable on each of the vesting dates detailed in the
Grant Details (such period between the date of issuance and each vesting date shall be referred to as the “Vesting Period”). In the event a Termination of Employment of the Eligible Individual occurs prior to the expiration of the Vesting
Period for any reason (or for no reason), all remaining unvested Options shall be forfeited by the Eligible Individual and canceled in their entirety effective immediately as of the date of such Termination of Employment. 

 

	3.	Exercise of Option 

 (a) This Option is exercisable by delivery of an exercise
notice which shall state the election to exercise the Option, the number of Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised and such other representations and agreements as may be required by the Company or the Plan Administrator (the
“Exercise Notice”). The Exercise Notice shall be in the form and delivered in the manner prescribed by the Plan Administrator. 

 (b) The Exercise Notice shall be accompanied by payment of the aggregate exercise price as to all
Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised. Payment of the aggregate exercise price shall be by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the Eligible Individual: (i) cash, (ii) check, (iii) a
“broker-assisted” or “same-day sale”; or (iv) other method authorized by the Company and/or the Plan Administrator. 

(c) No Shares shall be issued pursuant to the exercise of the Option unless such issuance and exercise complies with all relevant provisions
of law and the requirements of any stock exchange or quotation service upon which the Shares are then listed. 
  

	4.	Termination of Employment by the Company for Cause  

 (a) Notwithstanding the
provisions above, in the event the Eligible Individual incurs a Termination of Employment for Cause or the Eligible Individual voluntarily incurs a Termination of Employment within two years after any event or circumstance that would have been
grounds for a Termination of Employment for Cause, the Eligible Individual agrees that the Options (whether or not vested) shall be forfeited and cancelled in their entirety upon such Termination of Employment. In such event, the Company may cause
the Eligible Individual, immediately upon notice from the Company, to either (i) return the Options and/or Shares issued upon exercise of Options that vested during the two-year period after the events or circumstances giving rise to or
constituting grounds for such Termination of Employment for Cause or (ii) pay to the Company an amount equal to the aggregate amount, if any, that the Eligible Individual had previously realized in respect of any and all Shares issued upon
exercise of the Options that were exercised during the two-year period after the events or circumstances giving rise to or constituting grounds for such Termination of Employment for Cause (i.e. the value of the Shares issued upon exercise of the
Options and sold), in each case including any dividend equivalents or other distributions received in respect of any such Options. 
 (b)
For purpose of this Agreement, employment with the Company shall include employment with the Company’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates. The Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine whether there has been any Termination of
Employment and whether there existed Cause. 
  

	5.	Non-Transferability of the Options 

 During the Vesting Period and until such time
as the Options are ultimately exercised as provided herein or on the website of the Plan Administrator, the Options shall not be transferable by the Eligible Individual by means of sale, assignment, exchange, encumbrance, pledge, hedge or otherwise.

  

	6.	Rights as a Stockholder 

 Except as otherwise specifically provided in this
Agreement, during the Vesting Period the Eligible Individual shall not be entitled to any rights of a stockholder with respect to the Options. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company declares and pays dividends on the

  
 2 

 
Common Stock during the Vesting Period, the Eligible Individual will be credited with additional amounts for each Option equal to the dividend that would have been paid with respect to such
Option if it had been an actual share of Common Stock, which amount shall remain subject to restrictions (and as determined by the Committee may be reinvested in Options or may be held in kind as restricted property) and shall vest concurrently with
the vesting of the Options upon which such dividend equivalent amounts were paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, dividends and distributions other than regular cash dividends, if any, may result in an adjustment pursuant to Section 7 below,
rather than under this Section 6. 
  

	7.	Adjustment in the Event of Change in Stock; Change in Control 

 (a) In the event
of (i) a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, share combination or recapitalization or similar event affecting the capital structure of the Company (each, a “Share Change”), or (ii) a merger, consolidation,
acquisition of property or shares, separation, spinoff, reorganization, stock rights offering, liquidation, Disaffiliation, payment of cash dividends other than an ordinary dividend or similar event affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
(each, a “Corporate Transaction”), the Committee or the Board may in its discretion make such substitutions or adjustments as it deems appropriate and equitable to the number of Options and the number and kind of shares of Common Stock
underlying the Options. 
 (b) In the case of Corporate Transactions, such adjustments may include, without limitation (i) the
cancellation of the Options in exchange for payments of cash, property or a combination thereof having an aggregate value equal to the value of such Options, as determined by the Committee or the Board in its sole discretion, (ii) the
substitution of other property (including, without limitation, cash or other securities of the Company and securities of entities other than the Company) for the shares of Common Stock underlying the Options and (iii) in connection with any
Disaffiliation, arranging for the assumption of the Options, or the replacement of the Options with new awards based on other property or other securities (including, without limitation, other securities of the Company and securities of entities
other than the Company), by the affected Subsidiary or Affiliate or by the entity that controls such Subsidiary or Affiliate following such Disaffiliation (as well as any corresponding adjustments to any Options that remain based upon securities of
the Company). 
 (c) The determination of the Committee regarding any such adjustment will be final and conclusive and need not be the same
for all Participants. 
 (d) Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, in the event of a Change in Control, the provisions of
Section 10 of the Plan shall apply. 
  

	8.	Taxes, Fees and Withholding  

 (a) The Company agrees to pay any and all original
issue taxes and stock transfer taxes that may be imposed on the issuance of shares received by an Eligible Individual in connection with the Options, together with any and all other fees and expenses necessarily incurred by the Company in connection
therewith. 

  
 3 

 (b) Regardless of any action the Company, its Affiliate or Subsidiary takes with respect to any
or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), the Eligible Individual acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by him or
her is and remains the Eligible Individual’s responsibility and that the Company and/or its Affiliate or Subsidiary (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect
of the Award, including the exercise of the Options and issuance of the Shares in connection therewith, the receipt of cash or any dividends or dividend equivalents; and (2) do not commit to structure the terms of the award or any aspect of the
Options to reduce or eliminate the Eligible Individual’s liability for Tax-Related Items. 
 (c) In the event that the Company,
Subsidiary or Affiliate is required to withhold any Tax-Related Items as a result of the award, vesting or exercise of the Options, or the receipt of cash or any dividends or dividend equivalents, the Eligible Individual shall pay or make adequate
arrangements satisfactory to the Company, Subsidiary or Affiliate to satisfy all withholding and payment on account of obligations of the Company, Subsidiary and/or Affiliate. The obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall be conditioned
on compliance by the Eligible Individual with this Section 8. In this regard, the Eligible Individual authorizes the Company and/or its Subsidiary or Affiliate to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by the Eligible
Individual from his or her wages or other cash compensation paid to the Eligible Individual by the Company and/or its Subsidiary or Affiliate. Alternatively, or in addition, if permissible under local law, the Company may withhold in Shares,
provided that the Company only withholds the amount of Shares necessary to satisfy the minimum withholding amount. Finally, the Eligible Individual will pay to the Company any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company may be required to withhold
as a result of the Eligible Individual’s participation in the Plan or the Eligible Individual’s award that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to deliver the Shares issuable upon exercise of the
Option Award if the Eligible Individual fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items as described in this Section. 

(d) In particular, the Eligible Individual understands and acknowledges that all income to which the Eligible Individual is entitled under
this Agreement is pre-tax and the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates has the right to withhold and pay on behalf of the Eligible Individual any individual income tax in connection with such income in accordance with applicable law. In the
event the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates is not required under applicable law to serve as the withholding agent to withhold and pay on behalf of the Eligible Individual such individual income tax, the Eligible Individual shall have sole
responsibility to make such payment, in which case the Eligible Individual shall provide, as requested by the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates from time to time, relevant tax receipts to certify full and prompt payment. The Eligible
Individual agrees to indemnify the Company and/or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates for any liability which may arise as a result of his or her failure to pay any and all taxes associated with any income derived pursuant to awards made under this
Agreement. 

  
 4 

	9.	Other Restrictions 

 (a) The Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the
requirement that, if at any time the Committee shall determine that (i) the listing, registration or qualification of the shares of Common Stock subject or related thereto upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or
(ii) the consent or approval of any government regulatory body is required, then in any such event, the award of Restricted Stock Units shall not be effective unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been
effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Committee. 
 (b) The Eligible Individual acknowledges that the Eligible
Individual is subject to the Company’s policies regarding compliance with securities laws, including but not limited to its Insider Trading Policy (as in effect from time to time and any successor policies), and, pursuant to these policies, if
the Eligible Individual is on the Company’s insider list, the Eligible Individual shall be required to obtain pre-clearance from the Company’s General Counsel prior to purchasing or selling any of the Company’s securities (including
in connection with the “cashless” exercise of an Option), and may be prohibited from selling such shares other than during an open trading window. The Eligible Individual further acknowledges that, in its discretion, the Company may
prohibit the Eligible Individual from selling such shares even during an open trading window if the Company has concerns over the potential for insider trading. 
  

	10.	Nature of Award 

 In accepting the Option award, the Eligible Individual
acknowledges that: 
 (a) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended,
suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, unless otherwise provided in the Plan and this Agreement; 
 (b) the award of the
Options is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future awards of Options, or benefits in lieu of Options, even if Options have been awarded repeatedly in the past; 

(c) all decisions with respect to future awards, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; 

(d) the Eligible Individual’s participation in the Plan will not create a right to further employment with the Company, its Subsidiary or
Affiliate and shall not interfere with the ability of the Company to terminate the Eligible Individual’s employment relationship at any time with or without cause; 

(e) the Eligible Individual is voluntarily participating in the Plan; 

(f) the Option award is an extraordinary item that does not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the
Company, Subsidiary, or Affiliate, and such award is outside the scope of the Eligible Individual’s employment contract, if any; 

  
 5 

 (g) the Option award is not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes,
including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments and in no event should be considered as
compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Company, Subsidiary or Affiliate; 
 (h) in the event that the Eligible
Individual is not an employee of the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate, the Option award will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company, a Subsidiary or Affiliate; and 

(i) in consideration of the award of the Options, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from termination of the
Option award or diminution in value of the Option award resulting from Termination of the Eligible Individual’s Employment by the Company, Subsidiary or Affiliate (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and
the Eligible Individual irrevocably releases the Company, Subsidiary or Affiliate from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by signing
this Agreement, the Eligible Individual will be deemed irrevocably to have waived his or her entitlement to pursue such claim. 
  

	11.	No Advice Regarding Grant 

 The Company is not providing any tax, legal or
financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Eligible Individual’s participation in the Plan, or his or her acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares. The Eligible Individual is hereby advised to consult with
his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding the Eligible Individual’s participation in the Plan, receipt of the Award and/or disposition of the Award before taking any action related to the Plan or the Award. 

 

	12.	Notices 

 Any notices, communications or changes to this Agreement shall be
communicated (either directly by the Company or indirectly through any of its Subsidiaries, Affiliates or the Plan Administrator) to the Eligible Individual electronically via email (or otherwise in writing) promptly after such change becomes
effective. 
  

	13.	Effect of Agreement; Severability 

 Except as otherwise provided hereunder, this
Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of any successor or successors of the Company. The invalidity or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision
of this Agreement. 

  
 6 

	14.	Laws Applicable to Construction; Consent to Jurisdiction 

 (a) The interpretation,
performance and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without reference to principles of conflict of laws, as applied to contracts executed in and performed wholly within the State of Delaware. In
addition to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Options are subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which are hereby incorporated by reference. 

(b) Any and all disputes arising under or out of this Agreement, including without limitation any issues involving the enforcement or
interpretation of any of the provisions of this Agreement, shall be resolved by the commencement of an appropriate action in the state or federal courts located within the State of Delaware, which shall be the exclusive jurisdiction for the
resolution of any such disputes. The Eligible Individual hereby agrees and consents to the personal jurisdiction of said courts over the Eligible Individual for purposes of the resolution of any and all such disputes. 

 

	15.	Conflicts and Interpretation 

 (a) In the event of any (i) conflict between
the Grant Details, this Agreement, any information posted on the system of the Plan Administrator and/or the books and records of the Company, or (ii) ambiguity in the Grant Details, this Agreement, any information posted on the system of the
Plan Administrator and/or the books and records of the Company, the Plan shall control. 
 (b) The Committee shall have the power to
interpret the Plan, this Agreement, the Grant Details, any information posted on the system of the Plan Administrator and/or the books and records of the Company, and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the
Plan and the Award as are consistent therewith and to interpret or revoke any such rules (including, but not limited to, the determination of whether or not any Options have vested). All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made
by the Committee in good faith shall be final and binding upon the Participant, the Company and all other interested parties. The Committee shall not be personally responsible for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with
respect to the Plan or this Agreement. The Committee shall, in their absolute discretion, determine when any conditions have been fulfilled. 
  

	16.	Data Privacy 

 (a) The Eligible Individual understands that the Company,
Subsidiary, Affiliate and/or Plan Administrator may hold certain personal information about him or her, including, but not limited to, the Eligible Individual’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or
other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all options or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding
in the Eligible Individual’s favor, for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (“Data”). The Eligible Individual hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic
or other form, of his or her Data as described in this document by and among, as applicable, the Company and its Subsidiaries or Affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Eligible Individual’s
participation in the Plan.

	17.	Amendment 

 (a) The Company may modify, amend or waive the terms of the Option
award, prospectively or retroactively, but no such modification, amendment or waiver shall impair the rights of the Eligible Individual without his or her consent, except as required by applicable law, NASDAQ or stock exchange rules, tax rules or
accounting rules. The waiver by either party of compliance with any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by such party of a provision of this
Agreement. 
 (b) This Award and payments made pursuant to this Agreement and the Plan are intended to qualify for an exemption from
Section 409A of the Code. If the Company makes a good faith determination that any compensation provided under this Agreement is likely to be subject to the additional tax imposed by Section 409A, the Company may, to the
extent it deems necessary or advisable, modify this Agreement, without the Eligible Individual’s consent, to reduce the risk that such additional tax will apply, in a manner designed to preserve the material economic benefits intended
to be provided to the Eligible Individual under this Agreement (other than any diminution of such benefit that may be attributable to the time value of money resulting from a delay in the timing of payments hereunder for a period of
approximately six months or such longer period as may be required).
