ARTICLE III

Services; Payment; Independent Contractors

3.01. Services To Be Provided. (a) Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties (including to the extent specified on the Services Schedule), (i) the Service Providers shall be required to perform the Services only in a manner, scope, nature and quality as provided by or within Expedia that is similar in all material respects to the manner in which such Services were performed immediately prior to the Effective Date, and (ii) the Services shall be used for substantially the same purposes and in substantially the same manner (including as to volume, amount, level or frequency, as applicable) as the Services have been used immediately prior to the Effective Date; provided, however, that the Services Schedule shall control the scope of the Service to be performed (to the extent provided therein), unless otherwise agreed in writing. Each Party and the Service Providers shall act under this Services Agreement solely as an independent contractor and not as an agent or employee of any other Party or any of such Party’s Affiliates. As an independent contractor, all overhead and personnel necessary to the Services required of the Service Providers hereunder shall be the Service Provider’s sole responsibility and shall be at the Service Provider’s sole cost and expense. No Service Provider shall have the authority to bind the Receiving Party by contract or otherwise.

(b) The provision of Services by Service Providers shall be subject to Article V hereof.

(c) Each Party agrees to use its reasonable efforts to reduce or eliminate its dependency on the Services as soon as is reasonably practicable; provided that a breach of this Section 3.01(c) shall not affect a Service Provider’s obligation to provide any Service through the term applicable to such Service.

3.02. The Parties will use good-faith efforts to reasonably cooperate with each other in all matters relating to the provision and receipt of Services. Such cooperation shall include obtaining all consents, licenses or approvals necessary to permit each Party to perform its obligations hereunder; provided, however, under no circumstances shall any Service Provider be required to make any payments to any third party in respect of any such consents, licenses or approvals nor shall any Service Provider be required to make any alternative arrangements in the event that any such consents, licenses or approvals are not obtained.

3.03. Additional Services.

(a) From time to time during the term, each of Expedia and TripAdvisor may request the other Party (i) to provide additional (including as to volume, amount, level or frequency, as applicable) or different services which the other Party is not expressly obligated to provide under this Agreement if such services are of the type and scope provided within Expedia during fiscal year 2011 or (ii) expand the scope of any Service (such additional or expanded services, the “Additional Services”). The Party receiving such request shall consider such request in good faith and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such Additional Services; provided, no Party shall be obligated to provide any Additional Services if it does not, in its reasonable judgment, have adequate resources to provide such Additional Services or if the provision of such Additional Services would interfere with the operation of its business. The Party receiving the request for Additional Services shall notify the requesting Party within fifteen (15) days as to whether it will or will not provide the Additional Services.

-3-

(b) If a Party agrees to provide Additional Services pursuant to Section 3.03(a), then a representative of each party shall in good faith negotiate the terms of a supplement to the Services Schedule which will describe in detail the service, project scope, term, price and payment terms to be charged for the Additional Services. Once agreed to in writing, the supplement to the Services Schedule shall be deemed part of this Services Agreement as of such date and the Additional Services shall be deemed “Services” provided hereunder, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

3.04. Payments. Except as may be set forth on the Services Schedule, statements will be delivered to the Receiving Party within fifteen days after the end of each month by the Service Providers designated by each Party for Services provided to the Receiving Party during the preceding month, and each such statement shall set forth a brief description of such Services, the amounts charged therefor, and, except as the Parties may agree or as set forth on the Services Schedule, such amounts shall be due and payable by the Receiving Party within thirty (30) days after the date of such statement. Statements not paid within such 30-day period shall be subject to late charges, calculated at an interest rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate plus 2% (or the maximum legal rate, whichever is lower), and calculated for the actual number of days elapsed, accrued from the date on which such payment was due up to the date of the actual receipt of payment. Payments shall be made by wire transfer to an account designated in writing from time to time by Service Provider.

3.05. Payroll Transition. On or about December 30, 2011, Expedia shall, through Expedia payroll systems, (a) pay TripAdvisor employees in respect of the December 12, 2011 to December 25, 2011 pay period (the “Final Pay Period”), (b) make contributions to the TripAdvisor 401(k) Plan on behalf of the TripAdvisor employees in respect of the Final Pay Period, and (c) make any applicable withholdings, and pay any applicable payroll taxes relating to TripAdvisor employees in respect of such Final Pay Period. No later than January 31, 2012, Expedia shall provide to TripAdvisor an invoice that sets forth the product (such product, the “Payroll Transition Amount”) obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate amount of payments made pursuant to clauses (a) through (c) of the immediately preceding sentence by (y) 35.71%. TripAdvisor shall remit to Expedia the Payroll Transition Amount no later than February 15, 2012. Expedia’s calculation of the Payroll Transition Amount pursuant to this Section 3.05 shall be final and binding upon TripAdvisor.

3.06. Disclaimer of Warranty. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS SERVICES AGREEMENT, THE SERVICES TO BE PURCHASED UNDER THIS SERVICES AGREEMENT ARE FURNISHED AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE. In the event that the provision of any Service for the account of a Receiving Party by a Service Provider conflicts with such Service Provider’s provision of such Service for its own account, priority for the provision of such Service shall be allocated in an equitable manner on an aggregate basis, and in a manner consistent with the Receiving Party’s level of use of such Service during fiscal year 2011 up to the Effective Date (or as described on the Services Schedule).

3.07. Taxes. In the event that any Tax is properly chargeable on the provision of the Services as indicated on the Services Schedule, the Receiving Party shall be responsible for and shall pay the amount of any such Tax in addition to and at the same time as the Service fees. All Service fees and other consideration will be paid free and clear of and without withholding or deduction for or on account of any Tax, except as may be required by law.

3.08. Use of Services. The Receiving Party shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, resell any Services to any person whatsoever or permit the use of the Services by any person other than in connection with the conduct of the Receiving Party’s operations as conducted immediately prior to the Effective Date.

ARTICLE IV

Term of Services

4.01. The provision of Services shall commence on the Effective Date and shall terminate no later than twelve (12) months after the date hereof or as of the date indicated for each such Service on the Services Schedule; provided, however, that subject to the Services Schedule, any Service may be cancelled or reduced in amount or any portion thereof by the Receiving Party upon ninety (90) days’ written notice thereof (or such other notice period if one is set forth for such Service on the Services Schedule) subject to the requirement that the Receiving Party pay to the Service Provider the actual out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Service Provider, as well as the actual incremental internal costs incurred by the Service Providers, in each case directly resulting from such cancellation (including employee severance and other termination costs), which out-of-pocket and internal costs shall be set forth in a written statement provided by the Service Provider to the Receiving Party; provided, further, that such costs shall not exceed amounts payable hereunder in respect of the applicable Service for the ninety (90) days prior to such termination. The foregoing notwithstanding and subject to Section 7.02, (i) a Service Provider may immediately terminate any individual Service provided to a Receiving Party in the event that the Receiving Party fails to make payments for such Service under Section 3.04 and has not cured such failure within thirty (30) days of written notice of such failure from the Service Provider, and (ii) upon ninety (90) days’ written notice, the Service Provider may terminate any Service provided to the Receiving Party at such time as the Service Provider no longer provides the same Service to itself for its own account.

4.02. In the event a Receiving Party requests an extension of the term applicable to the provision of Services, such request shall be considered in good faith by the Service Provider. Any terms, conditions or costs or fees to be paid by the Receiving Party for Services provided during an extended term will be on mutually acceptable terms. For the avoidance of doubt, under no circumstances shall a Service Provider be required to extend the term of provision of any Service if (i) the Service Provider does not, in its reasonable judgment, have adequate resources to continue providing such Services, (ii) the extension of the term would interfere with the operation of the Service Provider’s business or (iii) the extension would require capital expenditure on the part of the Service Provider or otherwise require the Service Provider to renew or extend any Contract with any third party.

4.03. Termination of Certain Agreements. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the PSG Lodging Supply Services Agreement, between Expedia Partner Services Group Sarl and Expedia Business Service (Beijing) Co., Ltd., effective July 1, 2010, (the “PSG Agreement”), Expedia and TripAdvisor shall terminate the PSG Agreement, such termination
