Restrictive Covenants. In consideration of the Severance Benefits contemplated hereunder, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, Employee hereby acknowledges and agrees to the obligations set forth in this Section 6 and that Employee shall continue to be bound by the Employment Agreement Covenants and any other restrictive covenants that Employee was subject to while an employee of the Company Group, if any (together with the obligations set


 
9 forth in this Section 6, collectively, the “Restrictive Covenants”), it being understood that the following covenants are in addition to, and not in limitation of, such other Restrictive Covenants applicable to Employee: a. Reserved. b. Trade Secrets and Confidential Information/Company Property. Employee’s signature below constitutes Employee’s certification under penalty of perjury that Employee has returned all documents and other items provided to Employee by any member of the Company Group (with the exception of a copy of any employee handbook and personnel documents specifically relating to Employee), developed or obtained by Employee in connection with Employee’s Service, or otherwise belonging to any member of the Company Group. c. Cooperation. Subject to Section 6(d) below, Employee agrees that Employee will not knowingly encourage, counsel, or assist any attorneys or their clients in the presentation or prosecution of any disputes, differences, grievances, claims, charges, or complaints by any third party against any of the Releasees, unless under a subpoena or other court order to do so or upon written request from an administrative agency or the legislature or as related directly to the ADEA waiver in this Agreement. Employee agrees both to immediately notify in writing the Chief Legal Officer of Parent at 1111 Expedia Group Way W., Seattle, WA 98119 upon receipt of any such subpoena or court order or written request from an administrative agency or the legislature, and to furnish, within three (3) business days of its receipt, a copy of such subpoena or other court order or written request from an administrative agency or the legislature. If approached by anyone for counsel or assistance in the presentation or prosecution of any disputes, differences, grievances, claims, charges, or complaints against any of the Releasees, Employee shall state no more than that Employee cannot provide counsel or assistance. Employee acknowledges that in the course of Employee’s Service, it is possible Employee gained knowledge and experience and/or was a witness to events and circumstances that may arise in the defense or prosecution of subsequent legal proceedings involving any member of the Company Group. Employee agrees to cooperate fully with the Company and/or Parent, including without limitation providing truthful testimony and meeting promptly with Company counsel, and to timely appear upon reasonable request (subject to reasonable accommodation for Employee’s then-current commitments and obligations) as a witness and/or consultant in the defense or prosecution of any claims involving any member of the Company Group, including but not limited to any litigation, administrative actions or arbitrations. Any efforts undertaken by Employee at the Company’s request pursuant to this Section 6 shall be at the Company’s expense. If, following the Severance Period, the amount or duration of the time required by Employee to provide such cooperation and assistance (“Cooperation Efforts”) become significant (as determined in good faith by the Company, in consultation with Employee), the Company will remit payment to you, as an independent contractor, at the rate of $457 per hour, subject to Employee’s submission of an invoice setting forth the time incurred and a description of such Cooperation Efforts. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall Employee’s provision of any Board Services constitute Cooperation Efforts and, accordingly, Employee shall not be entitled to any additional compensation under this Section 6(c) for such Board Services. d. Protected Activity Not Prohibited. Employee understands that nothing in this Agreement shall in any way limit or prohibit Employee from engaging in any Protected Activity (as defined in the Restrictive Covenants Agreement). Protected Activity includes filing and/or pursuing a charge, complaint, or report with, or otherwise communicating, cooperating, or participating in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any federal, state or local government agency or commission, including the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and the National Labor Relations Board (“Government Agencies”). Employee understands that in connection with such Protected Activity, Employee is permitted to disclose documents or other information as permitted by law, without giving notice to, or receiving authorization from, the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee agrees to take all reasonable precautions to prevent any unauthorized use or disclosure of any information that may constitute Confidential Information to any parties other than the Government Agencies. Employee further understands that “Protected Activity” does not include the disclosure of any attorney-client privileged communications or attorney work product in respect of


 
10 any member of the Company Group. Any language in the Employment Agreement or in the Restrictive Covenants Agreement regarding Employee’s right to engage in any Protected Activity that conflicts with, or is contrary to, this Section 6 is superseded by this Agreement. In addition, pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, Employee is notified that an individual will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (i) is made in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official (directly or indirectly) or to an attorney solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, or (ii) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if (and only if) such filing is made under seal. In addition, an individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade secret to the individual’s attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual files any document containing the trade secret under seal and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. e. Non-disparagement. Employee agrees to refrain from any disparagement, defamation, libel, or slander of any of the Releasees, and agrees to refrain from any tortious interference with the contracts and relationships of any of the Releasees. The Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its “named executive officers” (within the meaning of Item 402 of Regulation S-K) and members of the Board to refrain from any disparagement, defamation, libel, or slander of Employee. Employee shall direct any inquiries by potential future employers to the Company’s human resources department. f. Certain Acknowledgements. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary: (i) the Restricted Period (as defined in the Employment Agreement) shall commence on and including the Separation Date and shall end on the twelve (12)-month anniversary thereof or, if earlier, on the date on which the Company materially breaches and fails to promptly cure upon written notice thereof Section 2(a) of this Agreement and (ii) in no event shall Employee’s provision of any Board Services in accordance with the terms of this Agreement constitute a breach of any of the Restrictive Covenants. 7. Breach; Waiver. Without limiting the generality of anything herein, Employee acknowledges and agrees that any material breach of this Agreement, unless such breach constitutes a legal action by Employee challenging or seeking a determination in good faith of the validity of the waiver herein under the ADEA, shall entitle the Company immediately to recover and/or cease providing any Severance Benefits otherwise payable to Employee under this Agreement and to obtain damages, except as provided by law, and any outstanding obligations of the Company hereunder shall immediately terminate, and the Company’s covenants hereunder shall be deemed null and void in their entirety. The failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provision or to affect the validity of this Agreement or the right of any Party to enforce this Agreement. 8. No Admission of Liability. Employee understands and acknowledges that with respect to all claims released herein (and in the Second Release), this Agreement constitutes a compromise and settlement of any and all actual or potential disputed claims by Employee unless such claims were explicitly not released by the release in this Agreement. No action taken by the Company hereto, either previously or in connection with this Agreement, shall be deemed or construed to be (a) an admission of the truth or falsity of any actual or potential claims or (b) an acknowledgment or admission by the Company of any fault or liability whatsoever to Employee or to any third party. 9. Costs. The Parties shall each bear their own costs, attorneys’ fees, and other fees incurred in connection with the preparation of this Agreement. 10. Tax Consequences. Neither the Company, Parent nor any other member of the Company Group makes any representations or warranties with respect to the tax consequences of the payments and any other consideration provided to Employee or made on Employee’s behalf under the terms of this Agreement. Employee agrees and understands that Employee is responsible for payment, if any, of local, state, and/or


 
11 federal taxes on the payments and any other consideration provided hereunder and any penalties or assessments thereon. Employee further agrees to indemnify and hold the Releasees harmless from any claims, demands, deficiencies, penalties, interest, assessments, executions, judgments, or recoveries by any government agency against the Company for any amounts claimed due on account of (a) Employee’s failure to pay or delayed payment of federal or state taxes, or (b) damages sustained by the Company by reason of any such claims, including attorneys’ fees and costs. 11. Section 409A. a. General. It is intended that, to the extent applicable, this Agreement comply with, or be exempt from, Code Section 409A and the final Department of Treasury regulations and official guidance thereunder, including any such regulations or other such guidance that may be issued after the date hereof (“Section 409A”) and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to so comply and/or be exempt from Section 409A. Each payment and benefit to be paid or provided under this Agreement as a series of installment payments is intended to constitute (and shall be treated as a right to) a series of separate payments for purposes of Section 1.409A-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that following the date hereof, the Company determines that any compensation or benefits payable under this Agreement may be subject to Section 409A, the Company may adopt such amendments to this Agreement or adopt other policies or procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions that the Company determines are necessary or appropriate to preserve the intended tax treatment of the compensation and benefits payable hereunder, including without limitation actions intended to (i) exempt the compensation and benefits payable under this Agreement from Section 409A, and/or (ii) comply with the requirements of Section 409A, provided, however, that this Section 11 does not, and shall not be construed so as to, create any obligation on the part of the Company or other member of the Company Group to adopt any such amendments, policies or procedures or to take any other such actions. In no event will any of the Releasees reimburse Employee (or otherwise be liable for) for any taxes, interest or penalties that are or may be imposed on Employee as a result of Section 409A or any corresponding provision of state or local law. b. Six-Month Delay. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no compensation or benefits shall be paid to Employee during the six (6)-month period following Employee’s “separation from service” with the Company (within the meaning of Section 409A) if the Company determines that paying such amounts at the time or times indicated in this Agreement would be a prohibited distribution under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code. If the payment of any such amounts is delayed as a result of the previous sentence, then on the first business day following the end of such six (6)-month period (or such earlier date upon which such amount can be paid under Section 409A without resulting in a prohibited distribution, including as a result of Employee’s death), the Company shall pay Employee a lump-sum amount equal to the cumulative amount that would have otherwise been payable to Employee during such period (without interest). 12. Severability. In the event that any provision or any portion of any provision hereof or any surviving agreement made a part hereof becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator to be illegal, unenforceable, or void, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without said provision or portion of provision and such action shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining portions of this Agreement, which shall remain fully valid and enforceable. 13. Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement, together with the Restrictive Covenants and applicable Award Agreements evidencing the portion of the Awards not otherwise forfeited hereunder (if any), represents the entire agreement and understanding between the Company and Employee concerning the subject matter of this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Employee’s employment with the Company Group and separation from the Company Group and the events leading thereto and associated therewith), and supersedes and replaces any and all prior agreements and understandings, whether oral or written, by the Company (or other member of the Company Group) and Employee, or any representative of the Company or Employee, concerning the subject matter of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the


 
12 Employment Agreement (other than the Employment Agreement Covenants, which shall continue in effect in accordance with their terms)), except as otherwise explicitly modified or superseded herein. This Agreement may only be amended in a writing signed by Employee and an authorized representative of the Company. 14. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Washington, without regard for choice-of-law provisions. Employee consents to personal and exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the State of Washington. 15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts and each counterpart shall be deemed an original and all of which counterparts taken together shall have the same force and effect as an original and shall constitute an effective, binding agreement on the part of each of the undersigned. The counterparts of this Agreement may be executed and delivered by facsimile, photo, email PDF, or other electronic transmission or signature (including any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., www.docusign.com). 16. Voluntary Execution of Agreement. Employee acknowledges that: (a) Employee has read this Agreement in its entirety; (b) Employee has been represented in the preparation, negotiation, and execution of this Agreement by legal counsel of Employee’s own choice or has elected not to retain legal counsel; (c) Employee understands the terms and consequences of this Agreement and of the releases it contains; (d) Employee is fully aware of the legal and binding effect of this Agreement; and (e) Employee has not relied upon any representations or statements made by the Company, Parent or other member of the Company Group that are not specifically set forth in this Agreement.
