THIS RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT (“ Agreement ”) is made as of July 18, 2007 by and between Orbitz Worldwide, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ Orbitz ”), the employee whose name is set forth on the signature page hereto (“ Employee ”) and, with respect to Section 2 only, TDS Investor (Cayman) L.P., a Cayman Islands limited partnership (“ TDS ”).

 

RECITALS

 

Orbitz has adopted the Orbitz Worldwide, Inc. 2007 Equity and Incentive Plan (the “ Plan ”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

Prior to the Offering, TDS granted a combination of Class B, Class B-1, Class C and/or Class D Interests (the “ TDS Equity Interests ”) to Employee pursuant to that certain Management Equity Award Agreement dated as of [DATE] (the “ TDS Award Agreement ”). As a result of the Offering, in accordance with Section 6(c) of the TDS Investor (Cayman) L.P. Second Amended and Restated 2006 Interest Plan and in connection with Employee’s employment by Orbitz or one of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “ Company ”), TDS, Orbitz and Employee desire to adjust, exchange and/or replace the TDS Equity Interests in exchange for the grant of Restricted Stock (as defined below) hereunder and, if applicable, selected other grants made on or about the date hereof.
