TRIPADVISOR, INC. MARKET-BASED RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

(TSR - Based)

THIS MARKET-BASED RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of the Grant Date (as defined herein), between TripAdvisor, Inc., a U.S. Delaware corporation  (the “Company”), and the employee, director or consultant of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates designated on the Grant Details (as defined below) (the “Eligible Individual”), describes the terms of an award of market-based restricted stock units qualified for favorable income tax and social security treatment in France as set out in Article 135 of the Macron Law (“Qualified MSUs”) to the Eligible Individual by the Company (the “Award”).  

All capitalized terms used herein, to the extent not defined, shall have the meanings set forth in the Company’s 2018 Stock and Annual Incentive Plan or any subsequent plan adopted by the Company (in either case, the “Plan”) or the French Schedule attached hereto.

1. Award and Vesting of Qualified MSUs

(a)Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Plan and the Grant Details, the Company hereby grants Qualified MSUs to the Eligible Individual in the target amount set forth in the Grant Details (“Target MSUs”), assuming target performance, and up to a maximum of 200% of the Target MSUs, with the actual number of Qualified MSUs earned to be based on actual performance as more specifically described below.  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 xxx.xxxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx (or any successor equity administration system selected by the Company to manage the Plan from time to time).   The Grant Details, which sets forth the target number of Qualified MSUs granted to the Eligible Individual by the Company, the Grant Date and the vesting schedule of the Qualified MSUs (among other information), are hereby incorporated by reference into, and shall be read as part and parcel of, this Agreement.  

(b) The amount of Qualified MSUs earned under this Award will be based on the Company’s TSR (as defined below) performance over the period commencing January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2022 (the “Performance Period”) relative to the TSR performance of the Nasdaq Composite Total Return Index (the “Index”) over the Performance Period.  The amount of Qualified MSUs earned under this Award shall be determined based on the calculation of the applicable percentile ranking of the Company relative to the Index in accordance with Schedule I attached hereto and the terms provided in this Agreement.

(c) For purposes of this Agreement, “TSR” means the change in fair market value over the specified period of time, expressed as a percentage, of an initial investment in specified common stock, including the effect of any dividends actually paid as if the dividends were reinvested in the stock of the Company or the Index, as the case may be, and proportionately adjusted for stock splits, reorganizations or similar transactions occurring during the Performance Period, as provided herein or as determined utilizing such methodology as the Committee, or its delegate, shall have approved. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee, or its delegate, shall

French Employee – Version March 2020

have the discretion to make appropriate and equitable adjustments of the TSR of any company (including the Company) whose shares trade ex-dividend as of December 31, 2022. The TSR shall be based on the trailing 30-trading day average closing stock prices of the Company and the Index measured as of (and including the 30^th day) the first and last trading days of the Performance Period.

2. Settlement of Qualified MSUs

As soon as practicable after any Qualified MSUs have vested and are no longer subject to any restrictions (but in no event later than sixty (60) days thereafter), the Company may, in its sole discretion settle in cash and/or Shares by arranging for the transfer or issue to the order of the Eligible Individual, the number of Shares in respect of which the Qualified MSUs have vested.  The Shares issued or transferred will be recorded in the name of the Eligible Individual in an account controlled by the Company or Broker, or in such other manner as the Company or the empowered corporate body may otherwise determine to ensure compliance with applicable restrictions provided under French law.

(c) Vesting will take place on the dates outlined in the Grant Details and will be subject to the Plan, the Agreement, this Appendix and the Eligible Individual’s continuous employment.  The awards will Vest over a four year period, Vesting 25% each year.  Notwithstanding any other rule of the Plan, the Agreement or the Schedules:

(i) where an Eligible Individual leaves employment for reason of death during the Vesting Period or any Holding Period, his or her personal

representatives may require, within six months from the date of death, Vesting of the deceased’s Qualified MSUs (if not already Vested) and the transfer of the underlying Shares (the Shares will be transferred to the personal representatives of the Eligible Individual as soon as practicably possible following their request); and

(ii) in the event of disability (as defined under the second or third category of Article L.341-4 of the French Code de la sécurité sociale), Vesting of the Eligible Individual’s Qualified MSUs may be accelerated at the discretion of the empowered corporate body (and the underlying Shares shall then be transferred to the Eligible Individual as soon as practicably possible).

(d) With respect to any portion of the Award which Vests after one year, there will be a Holding Period, so that a minimum two-year period is observed between the Grant Date and the end of the compulsory Holding Period.  During the Holding Period Shares cannot be sold or transferred by Eligible Individuals.  This Holding Period applies even if the Eligible Individual is no longer an employee or corporate officer of the Company.  Shares transferred to Eligible Individuals holding the duties of chairman of the board, general manager, deputy general manager, member of the directory board, or manager (respectively président du conseil d’administration, directeur général, directeur général délégué, membre du directoire or gérant) of the Company or any Affiliate or Subsidiary shall not be sold or transferred before termination of the Eligible Individuals’ executive duties.  Alternatively, the Company or the empowered corporate body may decide that a fraction of the Shares transferred to Eligible Individuals holding the duties of chairman of the board, general manager, deputy general manager, member of the directory board, or manager (respectively président du conseil d’administration, directeur général, directeur général délégué, membre du directoire or gérant) of the Company Affiliate or Subsidiary will be in a registered form and will not be available for sale or transfer before termination of the Eligible Individuals’ executive duties.  

(e) The award price of a Qualified MSU cannot exceed 5% of the nominal value of the Share.

4. Non-Transferability of the Qualified MSUs

During the Performance Period and until the Qualified MSUs are settled as provided herein or on the website of the Plan Administrator, the Qualified MSUs shall not be transferable by the Eligible Individual by means of sale, assignment, exchange, encumbrance, pledge, hedge or otherwise, except in the event of death or disability (as defined under the second or third category of Article L.341-4 of the French Code de la sécurité sociale).

3

Period, the Eligible Individual shall be entitled to the dividends, distributions or other rights attached to his Vested Shares as they arise.

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

On the occurrence of one of the events specified under Article L.225-181 of the French Code de commerce, the Company or the empowered corporate body may make such adjustments as it considers appropriate to restore the value of the Qualified MSUs.  An adjustment made under this rule shall only be permissible to the extent that it is intended to, and that its sole effect is to, restore the value of the Qualified MSUs and it is made in compliance with the rules set out in the French Code de commerce.

7. Adjustment in the Event of a Termination of Employment without Cause or Resignation for Good Reason

(a) In the event of a Termination of Employment without Cause or resignation for Good Reason, before the end of the Performance Period, in each case, not in connection with a Change in Control, then:

(i) The Performance Period shall end on the date of the Termination of Employment (for purposes of this section, the “Adjusted Performance Period”) for purposes of determining TSR for the Company and the Index and the number of Qualified MSUs that shall be earned for purposes of Section 1 of this Agreement (“Earned MSUs”);

(ii) The Earned MSUs that would have vested through the one-year anniversary of the date of the Termination of Employment, assuming daily pro rata vesting over this period (determined based on the numerator being the number of days the Participant is employed by, or providing services to, the Company, its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, and the denominator being the number of days during the Performance Period), shall accelerate and vest and those Qualified MSUs shall settle as of the date of the Termination of Employment;

(iii) Any Qualified MSUs for which acceleration did not vest (i.e. the positive difference, if any, between Target MSUs and Qualified MSUs for which vesting accelerated pursuant to Section 7(a)(ii) above) shall expire.  

(b) The determination of the Committee regarding any such adjustment will be final and conclusive and need not be the same for all Participants.

8. Recovery in the Event of a Financial Restatement; Claw-back Policy

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1 above, in the event that the Eligible Individual incurs a Termination of Employment by the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate 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,

4

the Eligible Individual’s Qualified MSUs (whether or not vested) shall be forfeited and canceled in their entirety upon such Termination of Employment without any consideration being paid therefor and otherwise without any further action of the Company whatsoever.  In such event, the Company may cause the Eligible Individual, immediately upon notice from the Company, to either (i) return the Shares issued upon settlement of Qualified MSUs 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 settlement of Qualified MSUs 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 (i.e., the value of the Qualified MSUs upon vesting), in each case including any dividend equivalents or other distributions received in respect of any such Qualified MSUs.

9. 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 Qualified MSUs, together with any and all other fees and expenses necessarily incurred by the Company in connection therewith.

(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 the Eligible Individual is and remains the Eligible Individual’s responsibility and that the Company and/or its Affiliate or Subsidiary (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the Award, including the grant and vesting of the Qualified MSUs, the receipt of cash or any dividends or dividend equivalents; and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms of the Award or any aspect of the Qualified MSUs 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 Qualified MSUs, 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 9.  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.  The Company may, in its sole discretion and pursuant to such provisions as it may specify from time to time, withhold in Shares the amount of Shares necessary to satisfy the minimum withholding amount or arrange for the sale of such number of Shares as is necessary to pay any Tax-Related Items.  In connection herewith, the Eligible Individual (i) authorizes, empowers and directs the Company and the Plan Administrator (or such brokerage firm as is contracted to manage the Company’s employee equity award program, the ‘Broker’) to sell, at the market price and on the Exercise Date or as soon

5

thereafter as is practicable, the number of Shares sufficient to pay the Tax-Related Items, and (ii) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Broker and the Company from and against all losses, liabilities, damages, claims and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, arising out of carrying out such actions.   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 the vesting of the 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 the Awards.

ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE TRIPADVISOR, INC.

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

(TSR-Based)

(FRANCE)

FRENCH SCHEDULE

Terms and Conditions

This French Schedule includes special terms and conditions applicable to Eligible Individuals residing in France.  These terms and conditions are in addition to, or if so indicated, in place of, the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement and the Appendix.  

The purpose of this French Schedule is to make certain variations to the terms of the Agreement and the Appendix, in order to satisfy French securities laws, exchange control, corporate law and tax requirements (especially the provisions of L. 000-000-0 et seq. of the French Code de commerce) to qualify Awards of Restricted Stock Units for favourable income tax and social security treatment in France as set out in Article 135 of the Macron Law (loi n° 2015-990 du 6 août 2015 pour la croissance, l'activité et l'égalité des chances économiques) (“Qualified Restricted Stock Units”).  

The rules of the Agreement and the Appendix shall apply, subject to the modifications contained in this French Schedule, whenever the Company or the empowered corporate body decides to grant Qualified Restricted Stock Units to Eligible Employees under this French Schedule.  This French Schedule shall only apply to Qualified Restricted Stock Units granted as conditional rights to acquire Shares.

If for any reason an Award does not satisfy the requirements of the French tax authorities for favourable income tax and social security treatment (to qualify as a Qualified Restricted Stock Unit), then the Company or the empowered corporate body can take such actions, including changing the Vesting Period and/or the Holding Period (both as defined below) as it considers reasonably necessary to achieve such treatment.

This French Schedule will be approved by the Committee (as the empowered foreign corporate body) on April 14, 2020, as required by the French tax authorities.

Definitions

Unless provided otherwise or unless the context requires otherwise, capitalized terms used but not defined in this French Schedule shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Plan, the Agreement and/or the Appendix.  

The terms of a “Restricted Stock Unit” under this French Schedule shall be on similar terms

15

to the equivalent “Restricted Stock Unit” under the Agreement, except to the extent that this French Schedule provides to the contrary.

For the purposes of this French Schedule only, the following additional definitions shall be used:

(a) “Closed Period” will have the meaning defined in Section L. 000-000-0 of the French Code de commerce, being:

(i) ten quotation days preceding and three quotation days following disclosure to the public of the consolidated financial statements or the annual statements of the Company; or  

(ii) any period during which corporate management of the Company possesses material information which could, if disclosed to the public, significantly impact the quotation of the Shares, until ten quotation days after the day such information is disclosed to the public.

(b) “Grant Date” shall be the date on which the Committee:

(i) designates the Eligible Individuals; and

(ii) specifies the terms and conditions of the Qualified Restricted Stock Units, including the number of Shares to be transferred at a future date, the Vesting Period, any Holding Period, any conditions for the delivery of the Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units, and any conditions for the disposal of the Shares.

(c) “Holding Period” means the period (applicable under Article L. 000-000-0 of the French Code de commerce) following the relevant Vesting date of an Award during which the Vested Shares shall either be held by the Eligible Individual or by the Broker subject only to a restriction on sale, transfer or other disposal of such Vested Shares, provided that if the Vested Shares are to be held by the Eligible Individual he shall be required to enter into an agreement (a “Holding Agreement”) with the Company, whereby he agrees not to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Shares prior to the end of the Holding Period.

(d) “Broker” means such person or persons designated by the Company or the empowered corporate body to hold Vested Shares as nominee on behalf of an Eligible Individual during the Holding Period.

(e) “Vesting” in relation to Qualified Restricted Stock Units, means an Eligible Individual becoming entitled to have the Shares transferred to him subject to the Plan, and the terms “Vest” and “Vested” shall be construed accordingly.

(f) “Vesting Period” means the period from the Grant Date to the date of Vesting of an Award, such period lasting at least one year.

Notifications

This Schedule also includes country-specific information of which Eligible Individual should be aware with respect to his or her participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of March 2019. Such laws are often complex and change frequently. As a result, the Company strongly recommends that Eligible Individual does not rely on the information noted herein as the only source of information relating to the consequences of Eligible Individual’s participation in the Plan because the information may be out of date at the time that Eligible Individual vests in Share Awards or sells Shares acquired under the Plan.

In addition, the information is general in nature and may not apply to Eligible Individual’s particular situation, and the Company is not in a position to assure Eligible Individual of any particular result. Accordingly, Eligible Individual is advised to seek appropriate professional advice as to how the relevant laws in his or her country may apply to his or her situation. Finally, please note that if Eligible Individual is a citizen or resident of a country other than the country in which he or she is currently working, or transfers employment after grant, the information contained in this Schedule may not be applicable to Eligible Individual.

European Union (“EU”)/ European Economic Area (“EEA”) Data Privacy

The following replaces Section 17 of the Agreement:

In order to offer participation in the Plan, it is necessary for the Company to collect and process certain information about Eligible Individual. Further detail about this is set out below.

Eligible Individual’s participation in the Plan is voluntary. Eligible Individual may withdraw from the Plan at any time. Withdrawal from the Plan will not affect Eligible Individual’s salary as an employee or his or her employment; Eligible Individual would merely forfeit the opportunities and benefits associated with the Plan.

If Eligible Individual withdraws from the Plan, the Company will cease to use Eligible Individual’s information for the purpose of the Plan (subject to the data retention requirements set out below).

Data Collection and Usage. The Company collects personal information about Eligible Individual for purposes of administration of the Plan, including: name, home address, telephone number and email address, date of birth, social insurance number, passport or other identification number, salary, citizenship, nationality, job title, any equity, shares of stock or directorships held in the Company and its Affiliates, details of all MSUs or any other entitlement to equity granted, canceled, vested, unvested or outstanding in Eligible Individual’s favor, which the Company receives from Eligible Individual or the Employer (“Eligible Individual Data”).

The Company will process and use Eligible Individual Data for the purposes of allocating stock and implementing, administering and managing the Plan. The Company’s legal basis for the

17

processing of Eligible Individual’s Data is based on contractual necessity for the performance of the Plan.

Stock Plan Administration Service Providers. The Company currently uses Fidelity and its affiliated companies (“Fidelity”) as its service provider for the Plan. The Company shares your Eligible Individual Data with Fidelity for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Plan. Fidelity is based in the United States. In the future, the Company may select a different service provider and share Eligible Individual Data with another company that serves in a similar manner. The Company’s service provider(s) will open an account for Eligible Individual to receive and trade stock. Eligible Individual may be asked to agree to separate terms and data processing practices with the service provider(s), which is a condition to his or her participation in the Plan.

International Data Transfers. The Company and its service provider(s), including Fidelity, are based in the United States, which means that it will be necessary for Eligible Individual Data to be transferred to, and processed in, the US. Eligible Individual should note that his or her country may have enacted data privacy laws that are different from the United States and which may offer different levels of protection. The legal basis for the transfer of Eligible Individual Data is based on contractual necessity for the performance of the Plan.

Data Retention. The Company will use Eligible Individual Data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage his or her participation in the Plan or as may be required by the Company in order to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax and securities laws (which will generally be no more than 7 years after the Eligible Individual ceases participating in the Plan).

Data Subject Rights. Eligible Individual has a number of rights under data privacy laws in his or her country. Depending on where Eligible Individual is based, his or her rights may include: (a) the right of access to the Eligible Individual’s personal data held by the Company, (b) the right of rectification of incorrect data, (c) the right to erasure of data, (d) the right to restriction of processing, and (e) the right to data portability.

If you have any questions about any aspect of the Plan or these terms, please contact xxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxx.xxx.

Taxation of Award. This Award is intended to be French tax-qualified and is subject to the special terms and conditions set forth in the French Schedule to this Schedule.”

Exchange Control Information. Eligible Individual may hold Shares acquired under the Plan outside of France provided he or she declares all foreign accounts, whether open, current, or closed, in his or her income tax return. Furthermore, Eligible Individual must declare to the customs and excise authorities any cash or bearer securities he or she imports or exports without the use of a financial institution when the value of the cash or securities is equal to or exceeds €10,000 (for 2011).
