Dear David:

On behalf of Orbitz Worldwide, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, (“Company”), I am pleased to confirm the terms of your appointment as Interim Chief Financial Officer, reporting to me.

The Compensation Committee has approved the following additional compensation, to apply for the duration of your service as Interim CFO:

(i)
a $5,000 per month increase in base salary for each month that you perform the role of Interim Chief Financial Officer,

an additional special payment of $5,000 for each month that you perform the role of Interim Chief Financial Officer to be paid in a lump sum on the first pay date following the start date of a new Chief Financial Officer (whether interim or permanent) and

(iii)
a performance bonus lump sum payment of $50,000 which will be paid three months after the start date of the new Chief Financial Officer (whether interim or permanent).

All payments are contingent on your continued employment on the date of payment, and the additional base salary, special payment and lump sum bonus payment will not be considered part of eligible earnings for purposes of the 2013 Annual Incentive Plan.
