shares of Stock (the "Restricted Shares").

In the event that Employee ceases to be a Service Provider for any or no reason
(including death or disability) before all of the shares of Stock granted
hereunder cease to be Restricted Shares, Employee shall, upon the date of such
termination (as reasonably fixed and determined by the Company, the "Termination
Date") forfeit that number of shares of Stock which constitute the Restricted
Shares. Upon such forfeiture the Company shall become the legal and beneficial
owner of the Restricted Shares being forfeited and all rights and interests
therein or relating thereto, and the Company shall have the right to retain and
transfer to its own name the number of Restricted Shares being forfeited by
Employee.

3. RESTRICTION ON TRANSFER. Restricted Shares (and any interest therein) may
never be directly or indirectly transferred, pledged, hypothecated, or otherwise
disposed of while they remain Restricted Shares. Prior to the closing of an
initial public offering with respect to shares of Stock ("IPO") registered under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), neither
Unrestricted Shares nor any interest therein my be transferred, pledged,
hypothecated, or otherwise disposed of. Following the consummation of an IPO,
any Unrestricted Shares shall be freely transferable subject only to the
restrictions set forth in Sections 6 and 8 hereof.

4. REPURCHASE. In the event that Employee ceases to be a Service Provider for
any or no reason (including death or disability) at any time prior to the
consummation of an IPO, any then Unrestricted Shares shall be subject to a right
(but not an obligation) of repurchase by Company. Company's right of repurchase
with respect to Unrestricted Shares shall be exercisable, during the sixty (60)
day period immediately following the Termination Date, by delivery of written
notice to Employee (which notice shall set forth a date, within thirty (30) days
of the date of the notice, on which the repurchase is to be effected). Company's
right of repurchase with respect to Unrestricted Shares shall lapse upon the
consummation of an IPO or upon expiration of the above referenced sixty (60) day
period. If Company exercises its right of repurchase with respect to
Unrestricted Shares it shall pay Employee, at closing, an amount equal to: (a)
the Fair Market Value (as of the Termination Date) per share in the event that
Employee's employment with the Company is terminated by the Company other than
for "Cause" (as defined in Employee's Employment Agreement) or if Employee
resigns as a result of "Constructive

<Page>

Termination" (as defined therein); or (b) par value per share in the event that
Employee's employment with the Company is terminated by the Company for Cause or
if Employee resigns other than as a result of Constructive Termination.. At the
closing of any repurchase, Employee shall deliver to Company stock certificates
duly endorsed for transfer, or accompanied by duly executed stock powers,
representing all of the Stock being sold, free and clear of all claims, liens,
or encumbrances from any third parties together with such other documentation as
Company's legal counsel may reasonably require.

5. ESCROW. The Company may, in its discretion, reflect ownership of Restricted
Shares (and Unrestricted Shares) through the issuance of stock certificates, or
in book-entry form, without stock certificates, on its books and records. If the
Company elects to issue certificates, such certificates for Restricted Shares
shall be deposited in escrow, together with stock powers duly executed in blank
by Employee, with the corporate secretary of Company to be held in accordance
with the provisions hereof. Restricted Shares shall be: (i) released to Company
upon forfeiture as described in Section 2 above; (ii) release for transfer and
assignment to Company upon Company's exercise of its right of repurchase
described in Section 4 above; or (ii) released to Employee, upon Employee's
request, to the extent the shares of Stock are no longer Restricted Shares.

6. ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF STOCK. The certificates representing
shares of Stock granted hereunder will bear a legend which states, and Employee
agrees to, the following:

               "THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
               REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR ANY STATE
               SECURITIES ACT. THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OFFERED FOR SALE IN THE
               ABSENCE OF A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WHICH IS EFFECTIVE UNDER
               THOSE ACTS AS TO SUCH SECURITIES OR AN OPINION, IN FORM AND
               SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION AND GIVEN BY COUNSEL
               SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION, TO THE EFFECT THAT SUCH
               REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED. THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS
               CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN REPURCHASE OPTIONS, ADDITIONAL
               RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND OTHER AGREEMENTS SET FORTH IN A
               RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT (THE "AGREEMENT") BETWEEN ORBITZ,
               INC., A DELAWARE CORPORATION, AND JOHN R. SAMUEL DATED AS OF
               AUGUST 18, 2003, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED AT THE PRINCIPAL
               EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE CORPORATION. ANY TRANSFER OR PLEDGE IN
               CONFLICT WITH, OR IN DEROGATION OF THE AGREEMENT IS VOID AND OF
               NO LEGAL FORCE, EFFECT, OR VALIDITY WHATSOEVER."

7. SECTION 83(b) ELECTION. Employee acknowledges that he may, within the thirty
(30) day period after the date hereof, in his sole discretion make an election
with the Internal Revenue Service under Section 83(b) of the Code. If Employee
makes such election, he will promptly file a copy with the Company.

                                                                               2

Securities Act, are offered pursuant to an exemption thereunder, and have not

other federal or state agency; (b) is acquiring shares of Stock for his own
account for investment, not on behalf or for the benefit of any other person,
