 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) in a lump sum in cash. 

(b) DISABILITY. If, as a result of Executive’s disability (as provided under Section 409A(a)(2)(C) of the Code and Treasury
regulation section 1.409A-3(i)(4) and other official guidance issued thereunder) (a “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 a lump sum in cash, 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. 

  
 5 

 (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, subject to a maximum of 36 months and (y) 12 months following termination (such period, the “Salary Continuation Period”) in each case payable in equal biweekly installments in accordance with the
Company’s payroll practice as in effect from time to time, and, without regard to whether Executive actually elects COBRA coverage, the Company shall pay Executive in a lump sum (without regard to whether Executive actually elects COBRA
coverage) an amount equal to 12 months of monthly premiums with respect to COBRA continuation coverage under the Company’s group health plans in existence on the date of termination, and at the level of coverage Executive participated in, as of
the date of termination; 
 (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)
except as otherwise provided in any individual award agreement (including the two stock option agreements of even date herewith between the Executive and the Company), 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 

  
 6 

 
appreciation rights, settle) only if, and at such point as, such performance conditions are satisfied; and provided further that to the extent that any such equity awards constitutes
“non-qualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A, such awards shall vest, but only settle in accordance with their terms (it being understood that it is intended that no equity awards outstanding as of the date
of this Agreement constitutes “non-qualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A); and 

(v) any then vested options of Executive (including options vesting as a result of (iv) above) granted by the Company 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 original 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 and benefits described in Sections 1(d)(i), (iii), (iv) and (v) (the “Severance
Payments & Benefits”) above is contingent upon (i) Executive’s compliance with the offset provisions in Section 1(e) below, (ii) Executive’s compliance with the restrictive covenants set forth in
Section 2, and (iii) Executive signing and not revoking a separation agreement and release of claims in favor of the Company and its affiliates in a form that is satisfactory to the Company upon Executive’s termination of employment
that becomes effective no later than sixty (60) days following Executive’s employment termination date or such earlier date required by the release agreement (such deadline, the “Release Deadline”). If the release does not become
effective and irrevocable by the Release Deadline, Executive will forfeit any rights to the Severance Payments and Benefits. In no event will Severance Payments & Benefits be paid or provided until the release actually 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. Any Severance Payments & Benefits that would be considered Deferred Payments (as
defined below) will be paid on, or, in the case of installments, will not commence until, the sixtieth (60th) day following Executive’s separation from service, or, if later, the Delayed Initial Payment Date, as defined below. Any
installment payments that would have been made to Executive during the sixty (60)-day period immediately following Executive’s separation from service, but for the preceding sentence, will be paid to Executive on the sixtieth (60th) day
following Executive’s separation from service and the remaining payments shall be made as provided in this Agreement. 
 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 or reporting responsibilities, 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 (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 

  
 7 

 
occurred and Executive 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 Severance Payments & Benefits 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 Severance
Payments & Benefits 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 Severance
Payments & Benefits (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 Severance Payments & Benefits 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)
(the “Deferred Payments”) 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) (the “Delayed Initial Payment Date”) and (4) any portion of the Severance Payments & Benefits 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. 

  
 8 

 (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). 

2. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION; NON-SOLICITATION; NON-COMPETITION; AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS. 

(a) CONFIDENTIALITY. Executive acknowledges that while employed by the Company, Executive will occupy a position of trust and
confidence. Executive shall not, except as is appropriate to perform Executive’s duties hereunder or as required by applicable law, disclose to others, use, copy, transmit, reproduce, summarize, quote or make commercial, whether directly or
indirectly, any Confidential Information. Executive will also take reasonable steps to safeguard such Confidential Information and prevent its loss, theft, or inadvertent disclosure to third persons. This Section 2 shall apply to Confidential
Information acquired by Executive whether prior or subsequent to the execution of this Agreement. “Confidential Information” shall mean information about the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, and their respective clients
and customers, including (without limitation) any proprietary knowledge, trade secrets, data, formulae, information and client and customer lists and all papers, resumes, and records (including computer records) of the documents containing such
Confidential Information, provided that Confidential Information shall not mean any such information that is previously disclosed to, or in possession of, the public other than by reason of Executive’s breach of this Agreement. 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 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 or as soon thereafter as possible, all documents, computer tapes and disks, records, lists, data, drawings, prints, notes and written information (and all copies thereof) furnished by the Company and 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, “affiliates” shall mean any company controlled by, controlling or under common
control with the Company. 
 (b) NON-COMPETITION. 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 

  
 9 

 
hereby agrees and covenants that during the Term and for a period of 24 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 the Restricted Territory of a kind being conducted by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or, if engaged in the provision of any travel related services, any of its affiliates in
the Restricted Territory (or demonstrably anticipated by the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates as of the Effective Date or at any time thereafter; 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, 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. For purposes of this Section 2(b), the “Restricted Territory” shall be defined as any state or political subdivision in the world where
the Company is engaged in business, or has verifiable plans to engage in business. 
 (c) NON-SOLICITATION OF EMPLOYEES. Executive
agrees that during the Restricted Period, Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, hire, recruit or solicit the employment or services of (whether as an employee, officer, director, agent,
consultant or independent contractor), any employee, officer, director, agent, consultant or independent contractor of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or any such person who has terminated his or her relationship with the
Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates within the six-month period prior to such hiring, recruiting or soliciting (except for (i) such employment or hiring by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or (ii) such
employment or hiring by Executive of an agent, consultant or independent contractor where the primary duties of such person are not for the Company); 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. This Section 2(c) shall not apply to any administrative assistant working directly for Executive. 
 (d)
NON-SOLICITATION OF BUSINESS PARTNERS. During the Restricted Period, Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, persuade or encourage or attempt to persuade or encourage any business
partners or business affiliates of the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates to cease doing business with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or to engage in any business competitive with the Company or its subsidiaries or
affiliates on its own or with any competitor of the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates. 

  
 10 

 (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 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. Executive hereby consents to, and expressly authorizes, the Company’s use of Executive’s name and likeness in trade publications
and other media for trade or commercial purposes. 
 (g) REMEDIES FOR BREACH. Executive expressly agrees and understands that the
Company will have 30 days from receipt of Executive’s notice of any alleged breach by the Company of this Agreement 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 or threatened 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 or threatened violation without the requirement of posting any bond. 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. 

  
 11 

 3. TERMINATION OF PRIOR AGREEMENTS. 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, including the Employment Agreement between the parties dated August 2, 2012, 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, the Executive has not relied upon, any representations, promises or inducements
except to the extent the same is expressly set forth in 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 merger, consolidation, transfer, reorganization, or sale of all,
substantially all or a substantial portion 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 the Company’s successor in
interest in such transaction, 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. TAXES; 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. The Company cannot and has not guaranteed any particular tax result for payments under this Agreement. Executive shall be solely responsible for
costs and taxes incurred for any payments under this Agreement. 
 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 except by a writing executed by each party hereto. 

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. 

  
 12 

 9. INDEMNIFICATION. The Company shall indemnify and hold Executive harmless for acts and omissions in
Executive’s capacity as an officer, director or employee of the Company to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law; provided, however, that neither the Company, nor any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, shall indemnify
