Overview

These Terms and Conditions apply to the restricted stock units (the “Award”) awarded to you by LendingTree, Inc. (“LendingTree” or the “Company”) pursuant to Section 7 of the Seventh Amended and Restated LendingTree, Inc. 2008 Stock Plan as the same has been amended and restated from time to time up to the date of this Award (the “2008 Plan”). You were notified of your Award by way of an award notice (the “Award Notice”). All capitalized terms used herein, to the extent not defined, shall have the meaning as set forth in the 2008 Plan.

Continuous Service

Except as provided below, in order for RSUs to vest, you must be continuously employed by LendingTree or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates during the Restriction Period (as defined below) or as otherwise provided in the Vesting section below. Nothing in your Award Notice, these Terms and Conditions, or the 2008 Plan shall confer upon you any right to continue in the employ or service of LendingTree or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or interfere in any way with their rights to terminate your employment or service at any time and for any or no reason.

Vesting

Subject to the Award Notice, these Terms and Conditions and the 2008 Plan, the RSUs in respect to your Award, shall vest and no longer be subject to satisfaction of any restriction, including any applicable performance conditions, as set forth in the Vesting Schedule section of the Award Notice. The period during which restrictions apply is the “Restriction Period.”

The vesting of your Award is conditioned upon your continuous employment with LendingTree or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates through each respective Vest Date, except as provided below.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, 100% of your then-outstanding and unvested portion of your Award shall vest upon the occurrence of a Change in Control which occurs during your employment with LendingTree (or any Subsidiary or Affiliate). The term “Change in Control” is defined in the 2008 Plan, and includes certain events affecting LendingTree (not events only affecting specific businesses of LendingTree).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event you experience a Termination of Employment due to your death or Disability, then 100% of your then-outstanding and unvested portion of your Award shall vest upon such Termination of Employment.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event you experience a “Qualifying Retirement” (as defined below) then you shall vest in the next Tranche of RSUs on the next scheduled Vest Date, that you would have vested in as though your Termination of Employment had occurred on such Vest Date, provided that you, after your Termination of Employment, (i) remain subject to and comply with all restrictive covenants set forth in your Restrictive Covenant Agreement (defined below), and (ii) shall not, directly or indirectly, including through another person, either for you or for any other person, own any interest in, manage, control, participate in, consult with, render services for, permit your name to be used in or in any other manner engage in, any for profit activities (including as an employee, partner, consultant, equityholder or otherwise), in each case of clause (i) and (ii), until such next Vest Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, section (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall not prevent you from (X) serving on the boards of directors of non-profit organizations, (Y) participating in charitable, civic, educational, professional, community or industry activities, or (Z) managing your passive personal or family investments.

For the purposes of this Award, a “Qualifying Retirement” means you (i) experienced a Termination of Employment due to your resignation for any reason (other than due to your death or Disability), provided that at such time no facts or circumstances exist that would constitute grounds for the Company to be able to terminate you for Cause and (ii) have satisfied the Rule of 65 (as defined below) prior to the effective date of your Termination of Employment.

For the purposes of this Award, the “Rule of 65” means the sum of (i) your age in years and complete months (rounded to the nearest month) upon the effective date of your Termination of Employment and (ii) your years and complete months (rounded to the nearest month) of service with the Company, a Subsidiary, or Affiliate (or a predecessor of each, as applicable) is equal to or exceeds sixty five (65), provided that your age as calculated under (i) shall be no less than sixty (60) and your years of service calculated under (ii) shall be no less than five (5).

Termination of Employment

Upon your Termination of Employment with LendingTree or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates during the Restriction Period for any reason, any unvested portion of this RSU Award shall be forfeited and canceled in its entirety without consideration effective immediately upon such Termination of Employment.

For the avoidance of doubt, transfers of employment among the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, without any break in service, is not a Termination of Employment.

Settlement

Subject to your satisfaction of the tax obligations described immediately below under “Taxes and Withholding,” as soon as practicable after any RSUs in respect of your Award have vested and are no longer subject to the restrictions that apply during the Restriction Period (but in no event later than two and one-half months after the end of the fiscal year in which the RSUs vest), such RSUs shall be settled. For each RSU settled, LendingTree shall issue one Share (or cash equivalent) for each RSU that has vested. Notwithstanding the foregoing, LendingTree shall be entitled to hold the Shares or cash issuable to you upon settlement of all RSUs that have vested until LendingTree or the agent selected by LendingTree to administer the 2008 Plan (the “Agent”) has received from you (i) a duly executed Form W-9 or W-8 and (ii) payment for any federal, state, local or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such RSUs.

Taxes and Withholding

No later than the date as of which an amount in respect of any RSUs first becomes includable in your gross income for federal, state, local or foreign income or employment or other tax purposes, LendingTree or its Subsidiaries and/or Affiliates shall, unless prohibited by law, have the right to deduct any federal, state, local or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount due to you, including deducting such amount from the delivery of Shares or cash issued upon settlement of the RSUs that gives rise to the withholding requirement. In the event Shares are deducted to cover tax withholdings, the number of Shares withheld shall generally have a Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate amount of LendingTree’s withholding obligation on the date of settlement. If the event that any such deduction and/or withholding is prohibited by law, you shall, prior to or contemporaneously with the settlement of your RSUs, be required to pay to LendingTree, or make arrangements satisfactory to LendingTree regarding the payment of, any federal, state, local or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount.

Non-Transferability of the RSUs

Until such time as your RSUs are ultimately settled, they shall not be transferable by you by means of sale, assignment, exchange, encumbrance, pledge, hedge or otherwise.

No Rights as a Stockholder

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if LendingTree declares and pays dividends on the Common Stock during the Restriction Period for particular RSUs in respect of your Award, you will be credited with additional amounts for each RSU underlying such Award equal to the dividend that would have been paid with respect to such RSU as if it had been an actual share of Common Stock, which amount shall remain subject to restrictions (and as determined by the Committee may be reinvested in RSUs or may be held in kind as restricted property) and shall vest concurrently with the vesting of the RSUs upon which such dividend equivalent amounts were paid (and shall be settled at the same time as the underlying RSUs and also subject to satisfaction of tax withholding).

In the event of any conflict between these Terms and Conditions and the 2008 Plan, the 2008 Plan shall control; provided, that an action or provision that is permissive under the terms of the 2008 Plan, and required under these Terms and Conditions, shall not be deemed a conflict and these Terms and Conditions shall control. In the event of any ambiguity in these Terms and Conditions, or any matters as to which these Terms and Conditions are silent, the 2008 Plan shall govern.
