ISSUANCE OF TRIPADVISOR EQUITY WARRANTS AND EXECUTION AND

DELIVERY OF TRIPADVISOR EQUITY WARRANTS

2.1. Issuance of TripAdvisor Equity Warrants. TripAdvisor Equity Warrants may be issued by the Company from time to time.

-4-

2.2. Form and Execution of TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificates.

(a) Except as provided in Section 2.6, the TripAdvisor Equity Warrants shall be evidenced by the TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificates, which shall be in registered form and substantially in the forms set forth as Exhibits A-1 and A-2 attached hereto. Each TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificate shall be dated the date it is countersigned by the Equity Warrant Agent and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements printed, lithographed or engraved thereon as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement (but which do not affect the rights, duties or responsibilities of the Warrant Agent except as consistent herewith and acknowledged as such by the Warrant Agent or otherwise agreed to by the Warrant Agent), or as may be required to comply with any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any securities exchange on which the TripAdvisor Equity Warrants may be listed, or to conform to usage, as the officer of the Company executing the same may approve (his execution thereof to be conclusive evidence of such approval). Each Equity Warrant Certificate shall evidence one or more Equity Warrants.

(b) The TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificates shall be signed in the name and on behalf of the Company by its Chairman, its Vice Chairman, its Chief Executive Officer, President or a Vice President (any reference to a Vice President of the Company herein shall be deemed to include any Vice President of the Company whether or not designated by a number or a word or words added before or after the title “Vice President”) under its corporate seal, and attested by its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary. Such signatures may be manual or facsimile signatures of the present or any future holder of any such office and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificates. The seal of the Company may be in the form of a facsimile thereof and may be impressed, affixed, imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificates. Each Warrant Certificate, when so signed on behalf of the Company, shall be delivered to the Warrant Agent together with an order for the countersignature and delivery of such Warrants.

(c) No TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificate shall be valid for any purpose, and no TripAdvisor Equity Warrant evidenced thereby shall be deemed issued or exercisable, until such TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificate has been countersigned by the manual or facsimile signature of the Equity Warrant Agent. Such signature by the Equity Warrant Agent upon any TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificate executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that the TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificate so countersigned has been duly issued hereunder.

(d) In case any officer of the Company who shall have signed any TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificate either manually or by facsimile signature shall cease to be such officer before the TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificate so signed shall have been countersigned and delivered by the Equity Warrant Agent, such TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificate nevertheless may be countersigned and delivered as though the person who signed such TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificate had not ceased to be such officer of the Company; and any TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificate may be signed on behalf of the Company by such person as, at the actual date of the execution of such TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificate, shall be the proper officer of the Company, although at the date of the execution of this Agreement such person was not such an officer.

-5-

2.3. Issuance and Delivery of TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificates. At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company may deliver TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificates duly executed by the Company to the Equity Warrant Agent for countersignature. Except as provided in the following sentence, the Equity Warrant Agent shall thereupon countersign, by either manual or facsimile signature, and deliver such TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificates to or upon the written request of the Company. Subsequent to the original issuance of an TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificate evidencing TripAdvisor Equity Warrants, the Equity Warrant Agent shall countersign a new TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificate evidencing such TripAdvisor Equity Warrants only if such TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificate is issued in exchange or substitution for one or more previously countersigned TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificates evidencing such TripAdvisor Equity Warrants or in connection with their transfer, as hereinafter provided.

2.4. Temporary TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificates. Pending the preparation of a definitive TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificate, the Company may execute, and upon the order of the Company the Equity Warrant Agent shall countersign, by either manual or facsimile signature, and deliver, temporary TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificates that are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, substantially of the tenor of the definitive TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificates in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officer executing such TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificates may determine (but which do not affect the rights, duties or responsibilities of the Warrant Agent except as consistent herewith and acknowledged as such by the Warrant Agent or otherwise agreed to by the Warrant Agent), as evidenced by his execution of such TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificates.

If temporary TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificates are issued, the Company will cause definitive TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificates to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificates, the temporary TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificates shall be exchangeable for definitive TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificates upon surrender of the temporary TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificates at the stock transfer division of the Equity Warrant Agent. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificates, the Company shall execute and the Equity Warrant Agent shall countersign, by either manual or facsimile signature, and deliver in exchange therefor definitive TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificates representing the same aggregate number of TripAdvisor Equity Warrants. Until so exchanged, the temporary TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificates shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as definitive TripAdvisor Equity Warrant certificates.

2.5. Payment of Taxes. The Company will pay all stamp and other duties, if any, to which this Agreement or the original issuance, or exercise, of the TripAdvisor Equity Warrants or TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificates may be subject under the laws of the United States of America or any state or locality; provided, however, that the Holder, and not the Company, shall be required to pay any stamp or other tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in

-6-

connection with any transfer involved in the issuance of the TripAdvisor Common Stock where the Holder designates the shares to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder; and in the event that any such transfer is involved, the Company shall not be required to issue any TripAdvisor Common Stock (and the purchase of the shares of TripAdvisor Common Stock issued upon the exercise of such Holder’s TripAdvisor Equity Warrant shall not be deemed to have been consummated) until such tax or other charge shall have been paid or it has been established to the Company’s and the Warrant Agent’s satisfaction that no such tax or other charge is due.

2.6. Book-Entry Provisions for TripAdvisor Equity Warrants. Unless (i) a Holder specifically requests in writing to the Equity Warrant Agent and the Company that the TripAdvisor Equity Warrants be in certificated form or (ii) the Company instructs the Equity Warrant Agent in writing to issue TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificates in respect of a Holder’s TripAdvisor Equity Warrants, paper certificates representing the TripAdvisor Equity Warrants will not be issued by the Company. Instead, the TripAdvisor Equity Warrants shall (i) be registered on the books and records of the Equity Warrant Agent in the name of the Holder, and the Holder shall, subject to any cancellation or expiration thereof, be treated as the owner of such TripAdvisor Equity Warrants for all purposes, (ii) be delivered to the Equity Warrant Agent in electronic form to be held for the account for such Holder, and (iii) bear the same restrictions and legends applicable to such TripAdvisor Equity Warrants had such TripAdvisor Equity Warrants been certificated as provided herein, if any.

ARTICLE 3.

DURATION AND EXERCISE OF TRIPADVISOR EQUITY WARRANTS

3.1. Exercise Price. Each Holder shall have the right to purchase the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of TripAdvisor Common Stock which the Holder may at the time be entitled to receive on exercise of such TripAdvisor Equity Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price, subject to the terms herein. The number of shares of TripAdvisor Common Stock which shall be purchasable upon the payment of the Exercise Price and to the extent provided therein, the Exercise Price, shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Article 4 hereof.

3.2. Duration of TripAdvisor Equity Warrants. Each TripAdvisor Equity Warrant is exercisable at any time commencing upon issuance up to the Expiration Date. Each TripAdvisor Equity Warrant not exercised at or before the Expiration Date shall become null and void, and all rights of the Holder of such TripAdvisor Equity Warrant thereunder and under this Agreement shall cease.

3.3. Exercise of TripAdvisor Equity Warrants.

(a) The Holder of an TripAdvisor Equity Warrant shall have the right, at its option, to exercise such TripAdvisor Equity Warrant and purchase one share of TripAdvisor Common Stock during the period referred to in Section 3.2, subject to adjustment pursuant to Article 4 hereof. Except as may be provided in an TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificate, an TripAdvisor

-7-

Equity Warrant may be exercised by completing the form of election to purchase set forth on the reverse side of the Expedia Equity Warrant Certificate, by duly executing the same, and by delivering the same, together with payment in full of the Exercise Price, in lawful money of the United States of America, in cash or by certified or official bank check or by bank wire transfer, to the Equity Warrant Agent. Equivalent procedures shall be followed with respect to TripAdvisor Equity Warrants held in uncertificated form. In lieu of the foregoing, the Holder of an TripAdvisor Equity Warrant shall have the right, at its option, without payment of cash, to reduce the number of shares of TripAdvisor Common Stock otherwise obtainable upon the exercise of an TripAdvisor Equity Warrant for payment of the Exercise Price in cash, so as to yield a number of shares of TripAdvisor Common Stock upon the exercise of such TripAdvisor Equity Warrant equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of TripAdvisor Common Stock issuable as of the Exercise Date upon the exercise of such TripAdvisor Equity Warrant (if payment of the Exercise Price were being made in cash) and (y) the Cashless Exercise Ratio. An exercise of an TripAdvisor Equity Warrant in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence is herein called a “Cashless Exercise”. Except as may be provided in an TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificate, the date on which such TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificate (or, in the case of TripAdvisor Equity Warrants held in uncertificated form, instructions providing for such exercise) and payment are received by the Equity Warrant Agent as aforesaid shall be deemed to be the date on which the TripAdvisor Equity Warrant is exercised and the relevant shares of TripAdvisor Common Stock are issued (the “Exercise Date”). The Equity Warrant Agent shall have no duty or obligation to investigate or confirm whether the Company’s determination regarding the number of TripAdvisor Common Stock to be issued in the event of such cashless exercise is accurate or correct, nor shall the Equity Warrant Agent have any duty or obligation to take any action with regard to such cashless exercise prior to being notified by the Company of the relevant number of TripAdvisor Common Stock to be issued.

(b) Upon the exercise of an TripAdvisor Equity Warrant, the Company shall, as soon as practicable, issue, to or upon the order of the Holder of such TripAdvisor Equity Warrant, the shares of TripAdvisor Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled, registered in such name or names as may be directed by such Holder.

(c) Unless the Equity Warrant Agent and the Company agree otherwise, the Equity Warrant Agent shall deposit all funds received by it in payment of the TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Price for TripAdvisor Equity Warrants in the account of the Company maintained with it for such purpose and shall advise the Company by telephone by 5:00 P.M., New York City time, of each day on which a payment of the Exercise Price for TripAdvisor Equity Warrants is received of the amount so deposited in its account. The Equity Warrant Agent shall promptly confirm such telephone advice in writing to the Company.

(d) The Equity Warrant Agent shall, from time to time, as promptly as practicable, advise the Company of (i) the number of TripAdvisor Equity Warrants exercised for cash or otherwise, as provided herein, (ii) the instructions of each Holder of such TripAdvisor Equity Warrants with respect to delivery of the TripAdvisor Common Stock issued upon exercise of such TripAdvisor Equity Warrants to which such Holder is entitled upon such exercise, and (iii) such other information as the Company shall reasonably require. Such advice may be given by telephone to be confirmed in writing.

-8-

(e) In furtherance of Section 3.2 hereof, if the TripAdvisor Equity Warrants are received or deemed to be received after the Expiration Date, the exercise thereof shall be null and void and any funds delivered to the Equity Warrant Agent will be returned to the Holder as soon as practicable. The validity of any exercise of the Warrants shall be determined by the Company in its sole discretion, and such determination shall be final and binding upon the Holder and the Equity Warrant Agent. Neither the Company nor the Equity Warrant Agent shall have any obligation to inform a Holder of the invalidity of any exercise of the TripAdvisor Equity Warrants.

ARTICLE 4.

ADJUSTMENTS OF NUMBER OF SHARES

4.1. Adjustments. The number of shares of TripAdvisor Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Equity Warrants shall be subject to adjustment as follows:

(a) In case the Company shall (A) pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, (B) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (C) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (D) issue by reclassification, recapitalization or reorganization of its Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each such case the number of shares of TripAdvisor Common Stock issuable upon exercise of an TripAdvisor Equity Warrant shall be equitably adjusted so that the Holder of any TripAdvisor Equity Warrant thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of TripAdvisor Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company which such Holder would have owned or been entitled to receive immediately following such action had such TripAdvisor Equity Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the occurrence of such event. An adjustment made pursuant to this subsection 4.1(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date, in the case of a dividend or distribution, or immediately after the effective date, in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. If, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this subsection 4.1(a), the Holder of any TripAdvisor Equity Warrant thereafter exercised shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of capital stock or shares of TripAdvisor Common Stock and other capital stock of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall be in its good faith judgment and shall be described in a statement filed by the Company with the Equity Warrant Agent) shall determine the allocation of the Exercise Price between or among shares of such classes of capital stock or shares of TripAdvisor Common Stock and other capital stock. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.

(b) In case the Company shall issue options, rights or warrants to holders of its outstanding shares of TripAdvisor Common Stock entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the record date mentioned below) to subscribe for or purchase shares of TripAdvisor Common Stock or other securities convertible or exchangeable for shares of TripAdvisor Common Stock at a price per share of TripAdvisor Common Stock less than the Current Market Price (as determined pursuant to subsection (d) of this Section 4.1) (other than pursuant to any stock option, restricted stock or other incentive or benefit plan or stock ownership or purchase

-9-

plan for the benefit of employees, directors or officers or any dividend reinvestment plan of the Company in effect at the time hereof or any other similar plan adopted or implemented hereafter, it being agreed that none of the adjustments set forth in this Section 4.1 shall apply to the issuance of stock, rights, warrants or other property pursuant to such benefit plans), then the number of shares of TripAdvisor Common Stock issuable upon exercise of an TripAdvisor Equity Warrant shall be adjusted so that it shall equal the product obtained by multiplying the number of shares of TripAdvisor Common Stock issuable upon exercise of an TripAdvisor Equity Warrant immediately prior to the date of issuance of such rights or warrants by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of TripAdvisor Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants (immediately prior to such issuance) plus the number of additional shares of TripAdvisor Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of TripAdvisor Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants (immediately prior to such issuance) plus the number of shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so offered would purchase at such Current Market Price. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any rights or warrants are issued, and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants; provided, however, in the event that all the shares of TripAdvisor Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase are not delivered upon the exercise of such rights or warrants, upon the expiration of such rights or warrants the number of shares of TripAdvisor Common Stock issuable upon exercise of an TripAdvisor Equity Warrant shall be readjusted to the number of shares of TripAdvisor Common Stock issuable upon exercise of an TripAdvisor Equity Warrant which would have been in effect had the numerator and the denominator of the foregoing fraction and the resulting adjustment been made based upon the number of shares of TripAdvisor Common Stock actually delivered upon the exercise of such rights or warrants rather than upon the number of shares of TripAdvisor Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase. In determining whether any security covered by this Section 4.1(b) entitles the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of TripAdvisor Common Stock at less than such Current Market Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of TripAdvisor Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for the issuance of such options, rights, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities, plus the aggregate amount of additional consideration (as set forth in the instruments relating thereto) to be received by the Company upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of such securities, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors in its good faith judgment (whose determination shall be described in a statement filed by the Company with the Equity Warrant Agent).

(c) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its outstanding Common Stock, evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities and cash, but excluding any regular periodic cash dividend of the Company and dividends or distributions payable in stock for which adjustment is made pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 4.1) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase securities of the Company (excluding those referred to in subsection (b) of this Section 4.1), then in each such case the number of shares of TripAdvisor Common Stock issuable upon exercise of an TripAdvisor Equity Warrant shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the product determined by multiplying the number of shares of TripAdvisor Common Stock issuable upon exercise of an

-10-

TripAdvisor Equity Warrant immediately prior to the record date of such distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price as of the Time of Determination, and of which the denominator shall be such Current Market Price less the Fair Market Value on such record date (as determined by the Board of Directors in its good faith judgment, whose determination shall be described in a statement filed by the Company with the stock transfer or conversion agent, as appropriate) of the portion of the capital stock or assets or the evidences of indebtedness or assets so distributed to the holder of one share of TripAdvisor Common Stock or of such subscription rights or warrants applicable to one share of TripAdvisor Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such distributions referred to in the first sentence of this Section 4.01(c) are made and shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution.

(d) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b) and (c) of this Section 4.1, the “Current Market Price” per share of TripAdvisor Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily Closing Prices for the shorter of (A) 10 consecutive Trading Days ending on the day immediately preceding the applicable Time of Determination or (B) the period commencing on the date next succeeding the first public announcement of the issuance of such rights or warrants or such distribution through such last day prior to the applicable Time of Determination. For purposes of the foregoing, the term “Time of Determination” shall mean the time and date of the record date for determining stockholders entitled to receive the rights, warrants or distributions referred to in Sections 4.1(b) and (c).

(e) In any case in which this Section 4.1 shall require that an adjustment in the amount of TripAdvisor Common Stock or other property to be received by a Holder upon exercise of a TripAdvisor Equity Warrant be made effective as of a record date for a specified event, the Company may elect to defer until the occurrence of such event the issuance to the Holder of any TripAdvisor Equity Warrant exercised after such record date the TripAdvisor Common Stock or other property issuable upon such exercise over and above the shares of TripAdvisor Common Stock issuable upon such exercise prior to such adjustment, provided, however, that the Company shall deliver to such Holder a due bill or other appropriate instrument evidencing such Holder’s right to receive such additional shares of TripAdvisor Common Stock or other property, if any, upon the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.

(f) [Intentionally Omitted]

(g) No adjustment in the number of shares of TripAdvisor Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a TripAdvisor Equity Warrant shall be required to be made pursuant to this Section 4.1 unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of such number; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this subsection (g) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this subsection 4.1(g) shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest 1/1000th of a share, as the case may be. Except as set forth in subsections 4.1(a), (b), and (c) above, the number of shares of TripAdvisor Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a TripAdvisor Equity Warrant shall not be adjusted as a result of the issuance of TripAdvisor Common Stock, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for TripAdvisor Common Stock or carrying the right to purchase any of the foregoing, in exchange for cash, property or services.

-11-

4.2. Statement on TripAdvisor Equity Warrants. Irrespective of any adjustment in the amount of TripAdvisor Common Stock issued upon exercise of a TripAdvisor Equity Warrant, TripAdvisor Equity Warrants theretofore or thereafter issued may continue to express the same number and kind of shares as are stated in the TripAdvisor Equity Warrants initially issuable pursuant to this Agreement.

4.3. Cash Payments in Lieu of Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractions of shares of TripAdvisor Common Stock shall be issued upon exercise of the TripAdvisor Equity Warrants. If more than one share of TripAdvisor Equity Warrants shall be exercised at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares of TripAdvisor Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of TripAdvisor Common Stock purchasable on exercise of the TripAdvisor Equity Warrants so requested to be exercised. In lieu of any fractional interest in a share of TripAdvisor Common Stock which would otherwise be deliverable upon the exercise of such TripAdvisor Equity Warrants, the Company shall pay to the Holder of such TripAdvisor Equity Warrants an amount in cash (computed to the nearest cent) equal to the Closing Price on the Exercise Date (or the next Trading Day if such date is not a Trading Day) multiplied by the fractional interest that otherwise would have been deliverable upon exercise of such TripAdvisor Equity Warrants. Whenever a payment for fractions of shares of TripAdvisor Common Stock is to be made by the Equity Warrant Agent, the Company shall (i) promptly prepare and deliver to the Equity Warrant Agent a certificate stating the amount of money to be paid in lieu of such fractional shares, and (ii) provide sufficient monies to the Equity Warrant Agent in the form of fully collected funds to make such payments. The Equity Warrant Agent shall be fully protected in relying upon such a certificate and shall have no duty with respect to, and shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any payment for fractions of shares of TripAdvisor Common Stock under any Section of this Agreement relating to the payment of fractions of shares of TripAdvisor Common Stock unless and until the Equity Warrant Agent shall have received such a certificate and sufficient monies.

4.4. Notices to Warrantholders and Equity Warrant Agent. Upon any adjustment of the amount of TripAdvisor Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a TripAdvisor Equity Warrant pursuant to Section 4.1 (but not for any fractional cumulation as described in Section 4.1(f)) or, to the extent provided herein, to the Exercise Price of a TripAdvisor Equity Warrant pursuant to Section 4.1, the Company within 30 days thereafter shall (i) cause to be filed with the Equity Warrant Agent an Officer’s Certificate (as defined hereinafter) setting forth the amount of TripAdvisor Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a TripAdvisor Equity Warrant and the Exercise Price after such adjustment and setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculations are based, which certificate, absent manifest error and any failure to comply with Section 4.1 (other than failures that are de minimus in nature), shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of the matters set forth therein, and (ii) cause to be given to each of the registered Holders at his address appearing on the Equity Warrant Register (as defined hereinafter) written notice of such adjustments by first-class mail, postage prepaid. The Equity Warrant Agent shall be fully protected in relying upon any such Officer’s Certificate delivered in accordance with this Section 4.4, and on any adjustment therein

-12-

contained, and shall not be deemed to have knowledge of such adjustment unless and until it shall have received such Officer’s Certificate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Equity Warrant Agent shall have no duty or obligation to investigate or confirm whether the information contained in any such Officer’s Certificate complies with the terms of this Agreement or any other document.

ARTICLE 5.

OTHER PROVISIONS RELATING TO RIGHTS OF HOLDERS

OF TRIPADVISOR EQUITY WARRANTS

5.1. No Rights as Holder of Common Stock Conferred by TripAdvisor Equity Warrants or TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificates. No TripAdvisor Equity Warrant or TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificate shall entitle the Holder to any of the rights of a holder of TripAdvisor Common Stock, including, without limitation, voting, dividend or liquidation rights.

5.2. Lost, Stolen, Destroyed or Mutilated TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificates. Upon receipt by the Company and the Equity Warrant Agent of evidence reasonably satisfactory to them of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificate and of indemnity satisfactory to them and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender of such TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificate to the Equity Warrant Agent for cancellation, the Company shall prepare, execute and deliver, and the Equity Warrant Agent shall countersign and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of each lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificate, a new TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificate evidencing a like number of TripAdvisor Equity Warrants of the same title. Upon the issuance of a new TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificate under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp or other tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Equity Warrant Agent) in connection therewith. Every substitute TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificate executed and delivered pursuant to this Section in lieu of any lost, stolen or destroyed TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificate shall represent a contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not such lost, stolen or destroyed TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificate shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement equally and proportionately with any and all other TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificates, duly executed and delivered hereunder, evidencing TripAdvisor Equity Warrants of the same title. The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement of lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificates.

5.3. Holders of TripAdvisor Equity Warrants May Enforce Rights. Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement, any Holder may, without the consent of the Equity Warrant Agent, enforce and may institute and maintain any suit, action or proceeding against the Company suitable to enforce, or otherwise in respect of his right to exercise his TripAdvisor Equity Warrants as provided in the TripAdvisor Equity Warrants and in this Agreement.

5.4. Consolidation or Merger or Sale of Assets. For purposes of this Section 5.4, a “Sale Transaction” means any transaction or event, including any merger, consolidation, sale of assets, tender or exchange offer, reclassification, compulsory share exchange or liquidation, in which all or substantially all outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock are converted into or exchanged for stock, other securities, cash or assets or following which any remaining outstanding shares of Common Stock fail to meet the listing standards imposed by each of the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq National Market at the time of such transaction, but shall not include any transaction the primary purpose of which is the reincorporation of the Company in another U.S. jurisdiction so long as in such transaction each TripAdvisor Equity Warrant shall convert into an equity security of the successor to the Company having identical rights as the TripAdvisor Equity Warrant. If a Sale Transaction occurs, then lawful provision shall be made by the corporation formed by such Sale Transaction or the corporation whose securities, cash or other property will immediately after the Sale Transaction be owned, by virtue of such Sale Transaction, by the holders of Common Stock immediately prior to the Sale Transaction, or the entity which shall have acquired such securities of the Company (collectively the “Formed, Surviving or Acquiring Corporation”), as the case may be, providing that each TripAdvisor Equity Warrant then outstanding shall thereafter be exercisable for the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such Sale Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been received upon exercise of such TripAdvisor Equity Warrant immediately prior to such Sale Transaction assuming such holder of TripAdvisor Common Stock did not exercise his rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such Sale Transaction (provided that, if the kind or amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such Sale Transaction is not the same for each share of TripAdvisor Common Stock in respect of which such rights of election shall not have been exercised (“Non-Electing Share”), then for the purposes of this Section 5.4 the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such Sale Transaction for each Non-Electing Share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the Non-Electing Shares). At the option of the Company, in lieu of the foregoing, the Company may require that in a Sale Transaction each Holder of a TripAdvisor Equity Warrant shall receive in exchange for each such TripAdvisor Equity Warrant a security of the Formed, Surviving or Acquiring Corporation having substantially equivalent rights, other than as set forth in this Section 5.4, as the TripAdvisor Equity Warrant. Concurrently with the consummation of such transaction, the Formed, Surviving or Acquiring Corporation shall enter into a supplemental TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Agreement so providing and further providing for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practical to the adjustments provided for in Section 4.1. The Formed, Surviving or Acquiring Corporation shall mail to Holders a notice describing the supplemental TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Agreement. If the issuer of securities deliverable upon exercise of TripAdvisor Equity Warrants under the supplemental TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Agreement is an affiliate of the formed or surviving corporation, that issuer shall join in the supplemental TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, there will be no adjustments pursuant to Article 4 hereof in case of the issuance of any shares of the Company’s stock in a Sale Transaction except as provided in this Section 5.4. The provisions of this Section 5.4 shall similarly apply to successive Sale Transactions; provided, however, that in no event shall a Holder of a TripAdvisor Equity Warrant be entitled to more than one adjustment pursuant to this Section 5.4 in respect of a series of related transactions. The Equity Warrant Agent shall have no duty to monitor or ensure the Company’s compliance with or actions under this Section.

ARTICLE 6.

EXCHANGE AND TRANSFER OF TRIPADVISOR EQUITY WARRANTS

6.1. TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Register; Exchange and Transfer of TripAdvisor Equity Warrants. The Equity Warrant Agent shall maintain, at its stock transfer division or other office designated for such purpose and identified to the Company, a register (the “Equity Warrant Register”) in which, upon the issuance of TripAdvisor Equity Warrants, and, subject to such reasonable regulations as the Equity Warrant Agent may prescribe, it shall register the TripAdvisor Equity Warrants, whether held in electronic book-entry or as TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificates, and exchanges and transfers thereof. The Equity Warrant Register shall be in written form or in any other form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable time.

Except as provided in the following sentence, TripAdvisor Equity Warrants, whether held in electronic book-entry form or represented by TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificates, may be exchanged for one or more other TripAdvisor Equity Warrants evidencing the same aggregate number of TripAdvisor Equity Warrants of the same title, or may be transferred in whole or in part. A transfer shall be registered and an appropriate entry made in the Equity Warrant Register (i) in the case of TripAdvisor Equity Warrants held in electronic book-entry form, upon receipt by the Equity Warrant Agent at its office designated for such purpose, of irrevocable written instructions for exchange or transfer, all in form satisfactory to the Company and the Equity Warrant Agent, and (ii) in the case of TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificates, upon surrender of a TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificate to the Equity Warrant Agent at its office designated for such purpose for transfer, properly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate instruments of transfer and written instructions for transfer, all in form satisfactory to the Company and the Equity Warrant Agent. Whenever a TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificate is surrendered for exchange or transfer, the Equity Warrant Agent shall countersign, by manual or facsimile signature, and deliver to the person or person entitled thereto one or more TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificates duly executed by the Company, as so requested. The Equity Warrant Agent shall not be required to effect any exchange or transfer which will result in the issuance of a fraction of a New Equity Warrant or an Expeida Equity Warrant Certificate evidencing a fraction of a TripAdvisor Equity Warrant. All TripAdvisor Equity Warrants, whether issued in electronic book-entry form or represented by TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificates, issued upon any exchange or transfer of a TripAdvisor Equity Warrant, shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same obligations, and entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement, as the TripAdvisor Equity Warrants surrendered for such exchange or transfer.

No service charge shall be made for any exchange or transfer of TripAdvisor Equity Warrants, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such exchange or transfer, in accordance with Section 2.5 hereof. The Warrant Agent shall forward any such sum collected by

-15-

it to the Company or to such persons as the Company shall specify by written notice. The Warrant Agent shall have no duty or obligation under this Section unless and until it is satisfied that all such taxes or other governmental charges have been paid.

6.2. Treatment of Holders of TripAdvisor Equity Warrants. Every Holder of a TripAdvisor Equity Warrant, by accepting the TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificate evidencing the same, consents and agrees with the Company, the Equity Warrant Agent and with every other Holder of TripAdvisor Equity Warrants that the Company and the TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Agent may treat the record holder of an TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificate as the absolute owner of such TripAdvisor Equity Warrant for all purposes and as the person entitled to exercise the rights represented by such TripAdvisor Equity Warrant, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Equivalent consent and agreement shall apply with respect to TripAdvisor Equity Warrants held in electronic book-entry form. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Company nor the Warrant Agent shall be liable or responsible for any registration or transfer of any TripAdvisor Equity Warrants that are registered or to be registered in the name of a fiduciary or the nominee of a fiduciary.

6.3. Cancellation of TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificates. In the event that the Company shall purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any TripAdvisor Equity Warrants after the issuance thereof, the TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificate shall thereupon be delivered to the Equity Warrant Agent for cancellation or in canceled form, and if surrendered to the Warrant Agent, shall be promptly canceled by the Warrant Agent and shall not be reissued and, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, no TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificate shall be issued hereunder in lieu thereof. The Equity Warrant Agent shall also cancel any TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificate (including any mutilated TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificate) delivered to it for exercise, in whole or in part, or for exchange or transfer, and such exercise, exchange or transfer shall not be effective until such TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificate has been received by the Equity Warrant Agent. TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificates so canceled shall be delivered by the Equity Warrant Agent to the Company from time to time, or disposed of in accordance with the instructions of the Company.

(k) No Implied Obligations. The Equity Warrant Agent shall be obligated to perform only such duties as are specifically set forth herein, and no other duties or obligations shall be implied. The Equity Warrant Agent shall not be under any obligation to take any action hereunder (including expending or risking its own funds) that may subject it to any expense or liability or to a risk of incurring expense or liability, unless it has been furnished with assurances of repayment or indemnity satisfactory to it. The Equity Warrant Agent shall not be accountable or under any duty or responsibility for the use by the Company of any TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificate countersigned by the Equity Warrant Agent and delivered by it to the Company pursuant to this Agreement or

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Equity Warrant Agent be liable for special, indirect, punitive, incidental or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Equity Warrant Agent has been advised of the likelihood of the loss or damage and regardless of the form of the action.

The provisions of this Section 7.3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the resignation or removal of the Equity Warrant Agent.

7.4. Resignation and Appointment of Successor.

(a) The Company agrees, for the benefit of the Holders of the TripAdvisor Equity Warrants, that there shall at all times be an Equity Warrant Agent hereunder until all the TripAdvisor Equity Warrants are no longer exercisable.

(b) The Equity Warrant Agent may at any time resign as such agent by giving written notice to the Company of such intention on its part, specifying the date on which its desired resignation shall become effective, subject to the appointment of a successor Equity Warrant Agent and acceptance of such appointment by such successor Equity Warrant Agent, as hereinafter provided. The Equity Warrant Agent hereunder may be removed at any time by the filing with it of an instrument in writing signed by or on behalf of the Company and specifying such removal and the date when it shall become effective. Such resignation or removal shall take effect upon the appointment by the Company, as hereinafter provided, of a successor Equity Warrant Agent (which shall be a banking institution organized under the laws of the United States of America, or one of the states thereof and having an office or an agent’s office in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York or an affiliate of such an entity) and the acceptance of such appointment by such successor Equity Warrant Agent.

Pending appointment of a successor to such Equity Warrant Agent the duties of the Equity Warrant Agent shall be carried out by the Company. Upon the appointment as aforesaid of a successor Equity Warrant Agent and acceptance by the latter of such appointment, the Equity Warrant Agent so superseded shall cease to be the Equity Warrant Agent hereunder.

(d) Any successor Equity Warrant Agent appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor and to the Company an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor Equity Warrant Agent, without any further

-21-

act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the authority, rights, powers, trusts, immunities, duties and obligations of such predecessor with like effect as if originally named as Equity Warrant Agent hereunder, and such predecessor, upon payment of its charges and disbursements then unpaid, shall thereupon become obligated to transfer, deliver and pay over, and such successor Equity Warrant Agent shall be entitled to receive all moneys, securities and other property on deposit with or held by such predecessor, as Equity Warrant Agent hereunder.

(e) Any entity into which the Equity Warrant Agent hereunder may be merged or converted or any entity with which the Equity Warrant Agent may be consolidated, or any entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Equity Warrant Agent shall be a party, or any entity to which the Equity Warrant Agent shall sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of the assets and business of the Equity Warrant Agent, provided that it shall be qualified as aforesaid, shall be the successor Equity Warrant Agent under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.

ARTICLE 8.

MISCELLANEOUS

8.1. Amendment.

(a) This Agreement and the TripAdvisor Equity Warrants may be amended by the Company and the Equity Warrant Agent, without the consent of the Holders of the TripAdvisor Equity Warrants, for the purpose of curing any ambiguity, or of curing, correcting or supplementing any defective or inconsistent provision contained herein or therein or in any other manner which the Company may deem to be necessary or desirable and which will not (i) materially and adversely affect the rights of the TripAdvisor Equity Warrants and (ii) adversely affect the rights of the Initial Holder under this Agreement to the extent the Initial Holder is a Holder at the time of such amendment.

(b) The Company and the Equity Warrant Agent may modify or amend this Agreement, the TripAdvisor Equity Warrants and the TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificates with the consent of the Holders of not fewer than a majority in number of the then outstanding unexercised TripAdvisor Equity Warrants affected by such modification or amendment, for any purpose; provided, however, (i) that no such modification or amendment that shortens the period of time during which the TripAdvisor Equity Warrants may be exercised, or increases the Exercise Price, or otherwise materially and adversely affects the exercise rights of the holders or reduces the percentage of holders of outstanding TripAdvisor Equity Warrants the consent of which is required for modification or amendment of this Agreement or the TripAdvisor Equity Warrants, may be made without the consent of each Holder affected thereby, and (ii) that no such modification or amendment that adversely affects the exercise rights of the holders may be made without the consent of the Initial Holder of the TripAdvisor Equity Warrants to the extent the Initial Holder is a Holder at the time of such modification and/or amendment. A certificate from an appropriate officer of the Company which states that the proposed supplement or amendment is in compliance with the terms of this Section shall be delivered to the Equity Warrant Agent prior to the Equity Warrant Agent’s execution of such proposed supplement or amendment.

-22-

The Company will from time to time use all reasonable efforts to obtain and keep effective any and all permits, consents and approvals of governmental agencies and authorities and the national securities exchange on which the TripAdvisor Equity Warrants may be listed or authorized for trading from time to time and filings under the United States federal and state laws, which may be or become requisite in connection with the issuance, sale, trading, transfer or delivery of the TripAdvisor Equity Warrants, and the exercise of the TripAdvisor Equity Warrants.

8.6. Reservation of Shares of TripAdvisor Common Stock. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights (other than such rights as do not affect the ownership of shares issued to a Holder), out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock or its issued shares of Common Stock held in its treasury, or both, for the purpose of effecting exercises of TripAdvisor Equity Warrants, the full number of shares of TripAdvisor Common Stock deliverable upon the exercise of all outstanding TripAdvisor Equity Warrants not theretofore exercised and on or before taking any action that would cause an adjustment resulting in an increase in the number of shares of TripAdvisor Common Stock deliverable upon exercise above the number thereof previously reserved and available therefor, the Company shall take all such action so required. For purposes of this Section 8.6, the number of shares of TripAdvisor Common Stock which shall be deliverable upon the exercise of all outstanding TripAdvisor Equity Warrants shall be computed as if at the time of computation all outstanding TripAdvisor Equity Warrants were held by a single holder. Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the price per share of TripAdvisor Common Stock issued upon exercise of the TripAdvisor Equity Warrants below the then par value (if any) of such shares of TripAdvisor Common Stock, the Company shall take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of TripAdvisor Common Stock at such Exercise Price. The Equity Warrant Agent shall have no duty to monitor or ensure the Company’s compliance with or actions under this Section.

-23-

8.7. Covenant Regarding Shares of TripAdvisor Common Stock. All shares of TripAdvisor Common Stock which may be delivered upon exercise of the TripAdvisor Equity Warrants will upon delivery be duly and validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable, free of all liens and charges and not subject to any preemptive rights (other than rights which do not affect the Holder’s right to own the shares of TripAdvisor Common Stock to be issued), and prior to the Exercise Date the Company shall take any corporate action necessary therefor. The issuance of all such shares of TripAdvisor Common Stock shall, to the extent permitted by law, be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

8.8. Persons Having Rights Under Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement expressed or implied and nothing that may be inferred from any of the provisions hereof is intended, or shall be construed, to confer upon, or give to, any person or corporation other than the Company, the Equity Warrant Agent and their respective successors and assigns and the Holders any right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement or of any covenant, condition, stipulation, promise or agreement hereof; and all covenants, conditions, stipulations, promises and agreements in this Agreement contained shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Company and the Equity Warrant Agent and their successors and of the Holders of TripAdvisor Equity Warrants.

8.9. Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by the Holder to purchase shares of TripAdvisor Common Stock, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder hereof, shall give rise to any liability of such Holder to pay the Exercise Price for any shares of TripAdvisor Common Stock other than pursuant to an exercise of the TripAdvisor Equity Warrant or any liability as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

8.10. Severability. If any provision in this Agreement or in any TripAdvisor Equity Warrant Certificate shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions, or of such provisions in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

8.14. Customer Identification Program. Each Person that is a party hereto acknowledges that the Equity Warrant Agent is subject to the customer identification program (“Customer Identification Program”) requirements under the USA PATRIOT Act and its implementing regulations, and that the Equity Warrant Agent must obtain, verify and record information that allows the Equity Warrant Agent to identify each such person.
