TERMS OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

3.1. Vesting Schedule.

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan and Employee’s continued employment with the Company on the applicable vesting dates, 25% of the RSUs (rounded up to the next whole share) shall vest on the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the Grant Date (the “Normal Vesting Dates”); provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 3 below, no vesting shall occur in connection with or after the termination of Employee’s employment with the Company for any reason, and any unvested RSUs shall be immediately canceled by the Company without consideration after termination of Employee’s employment with the Company for any reason.

Subject to Section 5.2, settlement of vested RSUs (after giving effect to the accelerated vesting provisions below in Section 3) shall occur on the applicable Normal Vesting Date or, if the Employee’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A described in Section 3.1 below occurs earlier than an applicable Normal Vesting Date, on the 90th calendar day following such separation.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event Employee’s employment with the Company is terminated without Cause, or Employee resigns from the Company as a result of a Constructive Termination, and such termination or resignation is in connection with, or within twenty-four (24) months following a Change in Control or Employee’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or if Employee resigns as a result of a Constructive Termination and a Change in Control is consummated within ninety (90) days following such termination of employment or resignation and such termination of employment or resignation as a result of a Constructive Termination is in contemplation of a Change in Control, then, subject to Employee’s execution and delivery of a separation and release agreement that is no longer subject to revocation under applicable law, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “General Release”) and compliance with all terms and conditions contained herein, then the RSUs shall fully vest as of the date of such termination or resignation and, subject to Section 5.2, shall be settled on the 90th calendar day following the Employee’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Employee’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or for Disability, terminates as a result of Employee’s death, or if Employee resigns as a result of a Constructive Termination, subject to, except in the case of death or Disability, Employee’s execution and delivery of the General Release, a number of previously unvested RSUs shall vest equal to the lesser of (i) the remaining number of unvested RSUs pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) 37.5% of the total RSUs granted pursuant to this agreement and, subject to Section 5.2, such vested RSUs shall be settled on the 90th calendar day following the Employee’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A.

(d) In the event Employee resigns his employment pursuant to Section 9(e) of the Employment Agreement following the Reacquisition, then, subject to Employee’s execution and delivery of the General Release, a number of previously unvested RSUs shall vest equal to the number of RSUs that would have vested in the twelve (12)-month period following such termination if Employee had remained in employment and, subject to Section 5.2, such vested RSUs shall be settled on the 90th calendar day following the Employee’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause, or if Executive resigns as a result of a Constructive Termination (other than the diminution of duties or responsibilities directly resulting from the Reacquisition and the Company becoming a non-publicly traded subsidiary of Travelport Limited), and such termination or resignation is in connection with, or within twelve (12) months following the Reacquisition or Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or if Executive resigns as a result of a Constructive Termination and the Reacquisition occurs within ninety (90) days following such termination of employment or resignation and such termination of employment or resignation is in contemplation of the Reacquisition, then, subject to Executive’s execution and delivery of the General Release and compliance with all terms and conditions contained herein, then the RSUs shall fully vest as of the date of such termination or resignation and, subject to Section 5.2, shall be settled on the 90th calendar day following the Employee’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A.

(f) The Board may determine at any time before the RSUs terminate that the RSUs or any portion thereof shall vest at any time. In the event of such accelerated vesting, such vested RSUs shall be settled on the Normal Vesting Dates (as if vesting had not been accelerated) or, if the Employee’s “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A occurs earlier than an applicable Normal Vesting Date, on the 90th calendar day following such separation.

3.2. Dividends. Employee shall be entitled to be credited with dividend equivalents with respect to the RSUs, calculated as follows: on each date that a cash dividend is paid by Orbitz while the RSUs are outstanding, Employee shall be credited with an additional number of RSUs equal to the number of whole Shares (valued at fair market value (as determined by the Board in good faith) on such date) that could be purchased on such date with the aggregate dollar amount of the cash dividend that would have been paid on the RSUs had the RSUs been issued as Shares. The additional RSUs credited under this Section shall be subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to the RSUs originally awarded hereunder, including, without limitation, for purposes of vesting, settlement and forfeiture and crediting of additional dividend equivalents.

3.3. Termination of Employment. Subject to Section 3.1, if Employee’s employment with the Company terminates for any reason, the RSUs, to the extent not then vested, shall be immediately canceled by the Company without consideration.

3.4. Limited Transferability. The RSUs shall be neither transferable nor assignable by Employee other than by will or the laws of inheritance following Employee’s death; provided, however, that Employee may designate one or more persons as the beneficiary or beneficiaries of the RSUs, in which case the RSUs shall, in accordance with such designation, automatically be transferred to such beneficiary or beneficiaries upon Employee’s death while holding the RSUs. Such beneficiary or beneficiaries shall take the transferred RSUs subject to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

3.5. Forfeiture. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event (X) Employee is terminated for Cause pursuant to Section 9(a) of the Employment Agreement and such termination for Cause is based on Employee’s willful misconduct involving a financial matter of the Company, including, without limitation, Employee purposefully or knowingly making a false certification to the Company pertaining to its financial statements, (Y) of Employee’s material breach of the restrictive covenants set forth in Sections 10 or 11 of the Employment Agreement or (Z) of Employee’s material violation of the Company’s Code of Conduct or Code of Ethics, the Board may determine in good faith that:

(i) the RSUs, to the extent not then vested, shall be immediately canceled by Orbitz without consideration,

(ii) Employee shall repay to Orbitz any cash received pursuant to the vesting of any RSU within two (2) years prior to (x) such termination of employment for Cause or (y) such breach, as applicable,

(iii) any Shares acquired pursuant to the vesting of any RSU within two (2) years prior to the date of Board determination of (X), (Y), or (Z) above and then held by Employee shall be forfeited and returned to Orbitz without consideration, and

(iv) in the event Employee has sold or otherwise disposed of Shares acquired pursuant to the vesting of any RSU within two (2) years prior to the date of Board determination of (X), (Y), or (Z) above, Employee shall pay to Orbitz any proceeds received from such sale or other disposition, less the taxes paid with regard to such sale.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Employee is terminated for Cause pursuant to Section 9(a) of the Employment Agreement and such termination for Cause is based on conduct other than Employee’s willful misconduct involving a financial matter of the Company, the Board may determine in good faith that the provisions of Section 3.5(i) through (iv) shall apply to the extent necessary for the Company to recover any damages it incurs as a result of such conduct.

SECTION 4

CERTAIN COVENANTS

Employee hereby agrees and covenants to perform all of his obligations set forth in Sections 10 and 11 of the Employment Agreement (which are incorporated by reference hereby) and acknowledges that Employee’s obligations set forth in Sections 10 and 11 of the Employment Agreement constitute a material inducement for the Company’s grant of the RSUs to Employee. The provisions of this Section 4 shall survive the termination of Employee’s employment with the Company for any reason.

SECTION 5

MISCELLANEOUS

5.1. Tax Issues and Withholding. Employee acknowledges that he or she is relying solely on his or her own tax advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. Employee understands that he or she (and not Orbitz) shall be responsible for all tax liability that shall arise as a result of the settlement of RSUs contemplated by this Agreement. Orbitz’s obligations under this Agreement shall be subject to all applicable tax and other withholding requirements, and Orbitz shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any withholding amounts from any payment or transfer of any kind otherwise due to Employee (including by withholding shares).

5.2. Compliance with IRC Section 409A.

(a) The intent of the parties is that payments under this Agreement comply with or be exempt from Code Section 409A and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be in compliance therewith.

(b) If Employee notifies the Company (with specificity as to the reason therefor) that Employee believes that any provision of this Agreement would cause Employee to

incur any additional tax or interest under Code Section 409A and the Company concurs with such belief or the Company (without any obligation whatsoever to do so) independently makes such determination, the Company shall, after consulting with Employee, reform such provision to try to comply with Code Section 409A through good faith modifications to the minimum extent reasonably appropriate to conform with Code Section 409A. To the extent that any provision hereof is modified in order to comply with or be exempt from Code Section 409A, such modification shall be made in good faith and shall, to the maximum extent reasonably possible, maintain the original intent and economic benefit to Employee and the Company of the applicable provision without violating the provisions of Code Section 409A.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at the time of Employee’s separation from service (within the meaning of Code Section 409A) Employee is a “specified employee” as defined in Code Section 409A and the deferral of the commencement of any payments otherwise payable hereunder as a result of such separation is necessary under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) in order to prevent any accelerated or additional tax under Code Section 409A, then the Company will defer the commencement of the payment of any such payments hereunder (without any reduction in such payments ultimately paid or provided to Employee) until the date that is six (6) months following Employee’s separation from service (or the earliest date as is permitted under Code Section 409A) (the “Delay Period”). Upon the expiration of the Delay Period, all payments delayed pursuant to this Section 5.2 (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single lump sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) shall be paid or reimbursed to Employee in a lump sum on the first business day after the end of the Delay Period, and any remaining payments due under this Agreement shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein.

(d) A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination is also a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A and, for purposes of any such provision of this Agreement, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms shall mean “separation from service.”

5.3. Employment of Employee. Nothing in this Agreement confers upon Employee the right to continue in the employ of the Company, entitles Employee to any right or benefit not set forth in this Agreement or interferes with or limits in any way the right of the Company to terminate Employee’s employment.

5.4. Stockholder Rights. Employee shall not have any stockholder rights (including the right to distributions or dividends) with respect to the Shares subject to the RSUs until Employee has become a holder of record of the Shares issued upon vesting; provided that Employee may be entitled to the benefits set forth in Section 3.2 of this Agreement.

5.5. Equitable Adjustments. The RSUs shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5 of the Plan.

5.6. Calculation of Benefits. Neither the RSUs nor any Shares issued pursuant to the vesting of the RSUs shall be deemed compensation or taken into account for purposes of

determining benefits or contributions under any retirement or other qualified or nonqualified plans of the Company or any employment/severance or change in control agreement to which Employee is a party and shall not affect any benefits, or contributions to benefits, under any other benefit plan of any kind or any applicable law or regulation now or subsequently in effect under which the availability or amount of benefits or contributions is related to level of compensation. It is specifically agreed by the parties that any benefits that Employee may receive or derive from this Agreement will not be considered as salary for calculating any severance payment that may be payable to Employee in the event of a termination of his or her employment.

5.7. Remedies.

(a) The rights and remedies provided by this Agreement are cumulative and the use of any one right or remedy by any party shall not preclude or waive its right to use any or all other remedies. These rights and remedies are given in addition to any other rights the parties may have at law or in equity.

(b) Except where a time period is otherwise specified, no delay on the part of any party in the exercise of any right, power, privilege or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any exercise or partial exercise of any such right, power, privilege or remedy preclude any further exercise thereof or the exercise of any right, power, privilege or remedy.

5.8. Waivers and Amendments. The respective rights and obligations of Orbitz and Employee under this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance, either retroactively or prospectively, and either for a specified period of time or indefinitely) by such respective party. This Agreement may be amended only with the written consent of a duly authorized representative of Orbitz and Employee.

5.9. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois.

5.10. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION.

(a) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ALL STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, AS WELL AS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ALL COURTS TO WHICH AN APPEAL MAY BE TAKEN FROM SUCH COURTS, FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY PROCEEDING RELATING TO ANCILLARY MEASURES IN AID OF ARBITRATION, PROVISIONAL REMEDIES AND INTERIM RELIEF, OR ANY PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE ANY ARBITRAL DECISION OR AWARD.

Orbitz Worldwide, Inc. (“Orbitz Worldwide”) (collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) and (hereinafter collectively with his heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, “EXECUTIVE”), mutually desire to enter into this Agreement and General Release (“Agreement” or “Agreement and General Release”) and agree that:

The terms of this Agreement are the products of mutual negotiation and compromise between EXECUTIVE and the Company; and

The meaning, effect and terms of this Agreement have been fully explained to EXECUTIVE; and

EXECUTIVE is hereby advised, in writing, by the Company that he should consult with an attorney prior to executing this Agreement; and

EXECUTIVE is being afforded at least twenty-one (21) days from his Last Day of Employment to consider the meaning and effect of this Agreement; and EXECUTIVE may execute this Agreement after the Last Day of Employment but may not execute it more than twenty-one (21) days after the Last Day of Employment; and

EXECUTIVE understands and acknowledges that, if he executes this Agreement before the Last Day of Employment, it shall be null and void and of no effect; and

EXECUTIVE understands that he may revoke this Agreement for a period of seven (7) calendar days following the day he executes this Agreement and this Agreement shall not become effective or enforceable until the revocation period has expired, and no revocation has occurred (“the Effective Date”). Any revocation within this period must be submitted, in writing, to the Company’s Human Resources Department and state, “I hereby revoke my acceptance of your Agreement and General Release. “ Said revocation must be personally delivered to the Company’s Human Resources Department, or mailed to the Company’s Human Resources Department and postmarked within seven (7) calendar days of execution of this Agreement; and

EXECUTIVE has carefully considered other alternatives to executing this Agreement and General Release.

THEREFORE, EXECUTIVE and the Company, for the full and sufficient consideration set forth below, agree as follows:

1. EXECUTIVE’s employment with the Company is terminated [without Cause] (as defined in the Employment Agreement) as of [DATE], which shall be his Last Date of Employment. EXECUTIVE shall receive all wages earned through his Last Date of Employment, less applicable taxes, withholding and other lawful deductions. Other than as set forth below, EXECUTIVE shall not be eligible for any other payments from the Company.

2. In consideration for the execution by EXECUTIVE of this Agreement and compliance with the promises made in this Agreement, pursuant to the employment agreement between EXECUTIVE and the Company (the “Employment Agreement”) that EXECUTIVE signed on January 6, 2009, the Company agrees:

	g.		to provide EXECUTIVE with vesting of any equity-based awards held by EXECUTIVE with respect to Orbitz Worldwide, Inc. as, and to the extent, described in the definitive documentation related to such awards.

	h.		[to provide EXECUTIVE with a neutral reference to any entity other than the Released Parties. Upon inquiry to the Human Resources department, prospective employers (other than the Released Parties) will be advised only as to the dates of EXECUTIVE’s employment and his most recent job title. Last salary will be provided if EXECUTIVE has provided a written release for the same.]

Except as set forth in the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement between EXECUTIVE and the Company dated April [16], 2009, the payments herein will be made as soon as reasonably practicable once this Agreement has taken effect, but in no case more than sixty (60) days after EXECUTIVE’s Last Date of Employment. This Agreement is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 409A”) and regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that any provision in this agreement is ambiguous as to its compliance with Section 409A, the provision shall be read in such a manner so that all payments under this agreement shall not incur an “additional tax” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code.

3. EXECUTIVE is obligated to pay any local, state or federal taxes that may become due and owing from the payment recipient on the payments and benefits provided under this Agreement.

4. EXECUTIVE understands and agrees that he would not receive the monies and/or benefits specified in paragraph 2 above, except for his execution of this Agreement, and the fulfillment of the promises contained herein, and that such consideration is greater than any

amount to which he would otherwise be entitled as an employee of the Company.

5. Except as otherwise expressly provided by this Agreement or the right to enforce the terms of this Agreement, EXECUTIVE, of his own free will knowingly and voluntarily releases and forever discharges the Company, their current and former parents, and their shareholders, affiliates, subsidiaries, divisions, predecessors, successors and assigns and the employees, officers, directors, advisors and agents thereof (collectively referred to throughout this Agreement as the “Released Parties”, or a “Released Party”), of and from any and all actions or causes of action, suits, claims, charges, complaints, promises demands and contracts (whether oral or written, express or implied from any source), or any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, which against the Released Parties EXECUTIVE or EXECUTIVE’S heirs, executors, administrators, successors or assigns ever had, now have or hereafter can shall or may have by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever arising any time prior to the time EXECUTIVE executes this Agreement, including, but not limited to:

6. EXECUTIVE also acknowledges that he does not have any current charge, claim or lawsuit against one or more of the Released Parties pending before any local, state or federal agency or court regarding his employment and his separation from employment. EXECUTIVE understands that nothing in this release prevents him from filing a charge or complaint with or from participating in an investigation or proceeding conducted by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) or any other federal, state or local agency charged with the enforcement of any employment or labor laws, although by signing this Agreement EXECUTIVE is giving up any right to monetary recovery that is based on any of the claims he has released. EXECUTIVE also understands that if he files such a charge or complaint, he has, as part of this Agreement, waived the right to receive any remuneration beyond what EXECUTIVE has received in this Agreement.

9. EXECUTIVE understands that if this Agreement were not signed, he would have the right to voluntarily assist other individuals or entities in bringing claims against Released Parties. EXECUTIVE hereby waives that right and agrees that he will not provide any such assistance with regard to matters related to his employment with the Company other than assistance in an investigation or proceeding conducted by the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or other federal, state or local agency, or pursuant to a valid subpoena or court order.

Its language shall be construed as a whole, according to its fair meaning, and not strictly for or against either party. Should any provision of this Agreement be declared illegal or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction and cannot be modified to be enforceable, including the general release language, such provision shall immediately become null and void, leaving the remainder of this in full force and effect.

13. EXECUTIVE agrees that neither this Agreement nor the furnishing of the consideration for this Agreement shall be deemed or construed at any time for any purpose as an admission by the Company of any liability or unlawful conduct of any kind, all of which the Company denies.

14. This Agreement may not be modified, altered or changed except upon express written consent of both parties wherein specific reference is made to this Agreement.

15. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement between the parties hereto, and fully supersedes any prior agreements or understandings between the parties, with the exception of any non-compete, non-solicit or confidentiality agreement between EXECUTIVE and the Company or one of their affiliates, which agreement(s) shall survive the termination of EXECUTIVE’s employment in accordance with its own terms.
