ITEM 1.01.  ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

Separation Agreement

On July 25, 2007, Travelport Limited and certain of its affiliates (collectively “Travelport”) entered into a Separation Agreement with its subsidiary, Orbitz Worldwide, Inc. (“Orbitz”), the material terms of which are described below.

Indemnification.   Under the Separation Agreement, Orbitz has agreed to indemnify Travelport and its officers, directors, employees and agents against losses (including, but not limited to, litigation matters and other claims) based on, arising out of or resulting from:

·                  any breach by Orbitz of the Separation Agreement or certain other agreements Orbitz has with Travelport;

·                  any other acts or omissions arising out of performance of the Separation Agreement and certain other agreements;

·                  any liability resulting from conversion of the Travelport equity and profit interests into instruments of similar value under the Orbitz 2007 Equity and Incentive Plan;

·                  any breach of any covenant in Travelport’s debt instruments or agreements that results from any action Orbitz has taken without the consent of Travelport;

·                  the ownership or the operation of Orbitz’s assets or properties, and the operation or conduct of Orbitz’s business at any time prior to or after Orbitz’s initial public offering (the “Offering”);

·                  any other activities Orbitz engages in;

·                  any guaranty, letter of credit, surety bond, other performance guarantee, keep well, net worth or financial condition maintenance agreement of or by Travelport provided to any parties with respect to any of Orbitz’s actual or contingent obligations; and

·                  other matters described in the Separation Agreement.

In addition, Orbitz has agreed to indemnify Travelport and its officers, directors, employees and agents against losses, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, relating to misstatements in or omissions from the registration statement and any other registration statement that Orbitz files under the Securities Act, other than misstatements or omissions made in reliance on information relating to and furnished by Travelport for use in the preparation of that registration statement, against which Travelport has agreed to indemnify Orbitz.  Travelport has also agreed to indemnify Orbitz and its officers, directors, employees and agents against losses (including, but not limited to, litigation matters and other claims) based on, arising out of or resulting from:

·                  any breach by Travelport of the Separation Agreement or certain other agreements Travelport has with Orbitz;

·                  the ownership or the operation of Travelport’s assets or properties at any time prior to or after the Offering and the operation or conduct of Travelport’s business, in each case excluding Orbitz; and

·                  other matters described in the Separation Agreement.

2




 

Financial Information.   Orbitz has agreed that, for so long as Travelport beneficially owns at least 10% but less than 20% of the combined voting power of all of Orbitz’s outstanding common stock, Orbitz will provide Travelport with:

·                  copies of its public filings as soon as publicly available; and

·                  the right to inspect its properties, books and records and discuss its affairs with Orbitz’s officers and accountants.

Orbitz has agreed that, for so long as Travelport beneficially owns at least 20% of the combined voting power of all Orbitz’s outstanding voting securities, or is required to account for its investment in Orbitz on a consolidated basis or under the equity method of accounting, in addition to the items in the second bullet above, Orbitz will provide Travelport with the following information:

·                  copies of monthly, quarterly and annual financial information and other reports and documents Orbitz intends to file with the SEC prior to those filings;

·                  copies of Orbitz’s budgets and financial projections, as well as the opportunity to meet with management to discuss those budgets and projections;

·                  notice of changes in Orbitz’s accounting estimates, reserves or discretionary accounting principles, and in some cases refrain from making those changes without Travelport’s prior consent;

·                  information regarding the timing and content of earnings releases; and

·                  such materials and information as necessary to cooperate fully, and cause Orbitz’s accountants to cooperate fully with Travelport in connection with any of its public filings.

For so long as Travelport beneficially owns at least 50% of the combined voting power of all of Orbitz’s outstanding common stock, or is required to account for its investment in Orbitz on a consolidated basis, in addition to the items mentioned above, Orbitz will provide Travelport with:

·                  access to its books and records;

·                  a quarterly representation of its chief excutive officer, chief financial officer and chief accounting officer stating that there is and has been no failure on the part of Orbitz or its directors or officers to materially comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002;

·                  detailed quarterly and annual financial information; and

·                  copies of correspondence with Orbitz’s accountants.

Novation of Liabilities; Guarantees.   Orbitz and Travelport will seek to have the other removed as guarantor of or obligor for all obligations for which Orbitz and Travelport are liable and which do not constitute Travelport’s or Orbitz’s liabilities, respectively, by contacting and negotiating with beneficiaries thereunder.  If either party is unable to obtain such removal, the relevant beneficiary shall indemnify the guarantor or obligor for any related loss and shall continue to perform under such obligations.

Arrangement for Letters of Credit.   Following the Offering, approximately $65 million of letters of credit relating to Orbitz remain outstanding under Travelport’s credit facility.  Travelport has agreed to maintain these outstanding letters of credit for Orbitz under an arrangement Orbitz has with them, and to request the issuance of new letters of credit on Orbitz’s behalf upon Orbitz’s reasonable request, subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, until Orbitz can obtain its own separate credit facility providing for letters of credit.  Orbitz will agree to use its commercially reasonable efforts to enter into a credit facility providing for letters of credit in an amount at least equal to Orbitz then-outstanding letters of credit issued under Travelport’s credit facility.

3




 

Orbitz has agreed to reimburse Travelport for any costs and expenses associated with maintaining or issuing such letters of credit on its behalf, including a one-time fee of fifty basis points multiplied by the principal amount of any letters of credit outstanding on the date of the Offering to be maintained by Travelport, and any letters of credit to be issued by Travelport thereafter.  Orbitz will also be required to pay to Travelport the outstanding principal amount, interest and certain other fees if any letters of credit are drawn upon.

Compliance Covenant.  The Separation Agreement provides that Orbitz will not take any action set forth in its certificate of incorporation as requiring the consent of Travelport without first obtaining such consent.

Registration Rights.   The Separation Agreement provides that Travelport can demand that Orbitz register the resale of shares of its common stock owned by Travelport after the Offering, so called “demand” registration rights.  In addition, Travelport has “piggyback” registration rights, which means that Travelport may include its shares in any future registrations of Orbitz’s common equity securities, whether or not that registration relates to a primary offering by Orbitz or a secondary offering by or on behalf of any of Orbitz’s stockholders.  These registration rights are transferable by Travelport.  Orbitz has agreed to pay all costs and expenses in connection with each such registration, except underwriting discounts and commissions applicable to the shares of common stock sold by Travelport.  The Separation Agreement contains customary terms and provisions with respect to, among other things, registration procedures and rights to indemnification in connection with the registration of the common stock on behalf of Travelport.

Non-Solicitation and Non-Hire of Employees.   Orbitz has agreed with Travelport that for a period of two years following the completion of the Offering, neither Orbitz nor Travelport will solicit or hire for employment each other’s employees with total annual base salary plus bonus of $150,000 (or its equivalent in non-U.S. currencies) or more, without the consent of the other party.  Further, solicitation of employees among certain subsidiaries is prohibited regardless of their annual salary.

Litigation.   The Separation Agreement also provides for cooperation between Orbitz and Travelport in connection with litigation, claims and proceedings that involve both Orbitz and Travelport, other than matters governed by the Tax Sharing Agreement (described below).

Dispute Resolution.   The Separation Agreement contains provisions that govern the resolution of disputes, controversies or claims that may arise between Orbitz and Travelport.  The Separation Agreement generally provides that the parties will attempt in good faith to negotiate a resolution of disputes arising in connection with the Separation Agreement without resorting to arbitration.  If these efforts are not successful, the dispute will be submitted to binding arbitration in accordance with the terms of the Separation Agreement, which provides for the selection of a three-arbitrator panel and the conduct of the arbitration hearing, including limitations on the discovery rights of the parties.  Except in certain very limited situations such as procedural irregularities or absence of due process, arbitral awards are generally final and non-appealable, even if they contain mistakes of law.

Further Actions and Assurances. Orbitz and Travelport have agreed that on and after the date of the Separation Agreement, they will use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the Offering and the reorganization.  The parties have also agreed to take such further action as may be necessary with respect to other intercompany agreements in order for such agreements to be consistent with, and to provide for, the implementation of the reorganization.

Equity Purchase Rights.   Orbitz has agreed that, so long as Travelport beneficially owns at least 50% of the combined voting power of all of Orbitz’s outstanding voting securities, Travelport may purchase its pro rata share, based on its then current percentage equity interest in Orbitz, of any voting equity security issued by Orbitz, excluding any securities offered in connection with the Offering and under employee stock options or other benefit plans, dividend reinvestment plans and certain other offerings other than for cash.

The foregoing description of the Separation Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Separation Agreement which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and which is incorporated herein by reference.

Transition Services Agreement

On July 25, 2007, Travelport entered into a Transition Services Agreement with Orbitz for the provision or receipt of certain insurance, human resources and employee benefits, payroll, tax, communications, information technology and other existing shared services.  The term for the provision of each service will generally expire on March 31, 2008, with exceptions provided in the Transition Services Agreement.  The cost for the provision of each transition service will approximate the human resource cost (wages and benefits) of the provider based on time expended by the employees of the service provider.

The services to be provided under the Transition Services Agreement may be terminated at any time by mutual agreement of the parties, or may be extended by mutual agreement of the parties for a mutually agreed period of time prior to 90 days before the scheduled termination of such services.  The parties have agreed that any additional costs imposed by a third party for the provision of a transition service or resulting from the separation will be allocated to the party receiving such transition service or terminating the receipt of such service.  Any services provided after March 31, 2008 may be charged at rates which may be higher than actual costs.

Below is a summary of the services to be provided to Orbitz by Travelport under the Transition Services Agreement.

·                  Human resource services and employee benefits. Prior to the Offering, Travelport provided Orbitz with human resources services, as well as the administration of Travelport’s compensation, retirement and benefits plans in which Orbitz participated, and will continue doing so under the Transition Services Agreement.

·                  Payroll services , including tax filings and the distribution of W-2s to Orbitz’s employees for the 2007 tax year.

·                  Financial management systems and related software support .

·                  Treasury and cash management services .

·                  Tax support.   Prior to the Offering, Travelport provided Orbitz with corporate tax support services. Travelport will provide corporate tax preparation services to Orbitz to complete its 2007 corporate tax return and will provide tax planning and other tax related services to Orbitz under the Transition Services Agreement until such time as Orbitz is no longer a restricted subsidiary under Travelport’s indentures.

·                  Technical accounting services.

·                  Communications services.   Prior to the Offering, Orbitz received communications services through arrangements that Travelport had with third party providers and will continue doing so under the Transition Services Agreement until such time as Orbitz enters into a standalone agreement with such third party providers.

·                  Information technology and support services .

·                  Insurance . Orbitz will purchase its own insurance policies going forward. However, Travelport will provide Orbitz with consulting services in connection with the administration and monitoring of Orbitz’s own insurance policies and program.

·                  Corporate legal support, including employment law, transactional, compliance and intellectual property advice, as well as corporate secretarial services.

·                  Collocation and data center facilities.

Below is a summary of the services to be provided by Orbitz to Travelport and its business units under the Transition Services Agreement.

·                  IT hosting services .

·                  Data warehousing and data storage services .

·                  SOX services .  Orbitz will provide compliance testing and deficiency remediation services to enable all of the Travelport businesses to comply with Sarbanes Oxley requirements and Payment Card Industry requirements (PCI).

The foregoing description of the Transition Services Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Transition Services Agreement which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 hereto and which is incorporated herein by reference.

Tax Sharing Agreement

On July 25, 2007, Travelport and Orbitz entered into a Tax Sharing Agreement, which generally provides for the preparation and filing of tax returns, the payment of taxes, the allocation of tax liabilities between Orbitz and Travelport, the receipt of tax refunds and tax-related payments, and the conduct of tax audits and similar tax controversies.

Orbitz and Travelport, along with Orbitz’s U.S. subsidiaries, were previously members of a consolidated group for U.S. federal income tax purposes of which Orbitz was the common parent, which is referred to herein as the Continuing Affiliated Group.  On or about February 8, 2007, Travelport and its U.S. subsidiaries ceased to be members of the Continuing Affiliated Group and became members of a new consolidated group of which Travelport is the common parent.

Under the Tax Sharing Agreement, Orbitz has agreed to indemnify Travelport for all taxes that are attributable to Orbitz’s business or any breach by Orbitz of its obligations under the Tax Sharing Agreement.  Conversely, Travelport has agreed to indemnify Orbitz for all taxes that are attributable to Travelport’s business or any breach by Travelport of its obligations under the Tax Sharing Agreement.  Finally, Orbitz and Travelport have agreed to split (on a 29%/71% basis) all:

·                  taxes attributable to certain restructuring transactions undertaken in contemplation of the Offering;

·                  certain taxes imposed as a result of prior membership in a consolidated group, including the Continuing Affiliated Group and the consolidated group of which Cendant Corporation was the common parent;

·                  any tax-related liabilities under the agreement by which Orbitz was acquired from Cendant Corporation; and

·                  any other taxes (other than those described above) that are attributable to a taxable period (or portion of a taxable period) prior to the date of the Tax Sharing Agreement and do not relate to Orbitz’s business or Travelport’s business.

Under the Tax Sharing Agreement, Orbitz has the right to control all audits and similar controversies relating to its tax returns, other than issues within such audits or controversies regarding tax liabilities for which Travelport is required to indemnify Orbitz in full or which Orbitz splits with Travelport.  Orbitz also has the right to control any issues within audits and similar controversies relating to Travelport’s tax returns regarding tax liabilities for which Orbitz is required to indemnify Travelport in full.  If Orbitz does not control an issue within an audit or controversy that relates to Orbitz’s tax returns or a tax liability which Orbitz and Travelport split, Orbitz has the right to participate and its consent is necessary for any settlement that would materially and adversely affect Orbitz.

The Tax Sharing Agreement further provides for cooperation between Travelport and Orbitz with respect to tax matters, the exchange of information and the retention of records which may affect the income tax liability of the parties to the agreement.

The foregoing description of the Tax Sharing Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Tax Sharing Agreement which is filed as Exhibit 10.3 hereto and which is incorporated herein by reference.

Subscriber Services Agreement

On July 23, 2007, Travelport entered into a Subscriber Services Agreement with Orbitz under which Orbitz will be obliged to use, and Travelport will be obliged to provide, GDS services from Galileo and, effective upon completion of the Worldspan acquisition, Worldspan, subject to certain exceptions described below.  This Subscriber Services Agreement replaces Orbitz’s existing agreements with Galileo and Worldspan; provided, however, that if the Worldspan acquisition is not completed, Orbitz will continue to operate under its existing Worldspan relationship, and Orbitz’s obligations in the Subscriber Services Agreement will not apply to Orbitz until expiration or other termination of Orbitz’s Worldspan agreement.  Under the Subscriber Services Agreement, Travelport agrees to provide content and GDS services of a Travelport GDS (Galileo or, if acquired, Worldspan).  Subject to the exceptions described below, Orbitz agrees to use a Travelport GDS exclusively for air and car segments for all of its current and future online travel agency sites in North America, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to use a Travelport GDS for hotel segments that it books through a GDS.  Travelport will pay Orbitz an inducement fee for each segment that it books through a Travelport GDS which Orbitz believes to be on market terms.  In certain cases, Orbitz will pay a content access fee to Travelport to book a segment on a specific airline.

In addition, Orbitz is obligated to provide annual segment volume guarantees for the North American websites.  If Orbitz fails to meet its annual obligation, it will have to pay a shortfall payment in certain cases, except where Orbitz has achieved at least 95% of its annual obligation or has put all eligible segments through a Travelport GDS but has still failed to meet the minimum.  In certain circumstances, shortfall payments will not apply if the Travelport GDSs lose existing Travelport GDS content.

Orbitz has agreed to use a Travelport GDS exclusively for segments booked through a GDS on European country websites where Orbitz currently use Galileo. If Orbitz fails to satisfy this obligation, it will have to pay a shortfall payment in certain cases, except where Orbitz has achieved at least 95% of its obligation. On European country websites where Orbitz does not currently use Galileo, it will use the Travelport GDSs exclusively under certain circumstances.

Orbitz’s obligations to use the Travelport GDSs are subject to exceptions:

·                  for Orbitz’s existing supplier link obligations;

·                  where the Travelport GDSs do not have material content, subject to Orbitz’s obligation to cooperate and assist in Travelport’s efforts to obtain a supplier’s content;

·                  where, with respect to a specific supplier, a material economic difference in the net compensation per segment to be received by Orbitz exists between a Travelport GDS and establishing a direct connection to a supplier; and

·                  for Orbitz’s existing Worldspan agreement, for so long as such agreement is in effect.

Where an exception applies, Orbitz may use the content of a direct connect alternative provided that the Travelport GDS will have the right of first refusal to provide Orbitz with GDS services on substantially similar terms and conditions as offered by the particular supplier for the direct connection.

For non-North American and non-European agencies, a Travelport GDS will be the exclusive provider of GDS services for all current and future online travel agencies, to the extent that Travelport can provide these services on terms and conditions commercially reasonable in that region. To the extent that Orbitz cannot agree with Travelport on commercially reasonable terms for a non-North American, non-European

7




 

website and Orbitz desires to use a non-Travelport GDS, Travelport will have a right of first refusal to provide Orbitz with GDS services on substantially similar terms and conditions as those offered by the non-Travelport GDS.

Travelport has agreed to provide the GDS services on commercial terms and conditions not less favorable overall than the overall terms and conditions offered by Travelport to any other online travel agency delivering equivalent or lesser booking volumes.  In determining the relative favorability of the overall terms and conditions, Travelport may also consider geographic and business (corporate vs. leisure) mix.

The incentive payments that Orbitz receives from Travelport may decrease if the amount payable to Travelport by its suppliers decreases by 10% or more.  These amounts, and the corresponding reductions in the Company’s incentive payments, apply country by country.

This Subscriber Services Agreement expires on December 31, 2014. Effective upon the acquisition of Worldspan by Travelport, the Company and Travelport have agreed to dismiss all claims currently pending in the existing litigation between Orbitz and Worldspan and a $14 million dispute that the parties have mediated.  The Subscriber Services Agreement does not address claims that either party may assert in the future.

The foregoing description of the Subscriber Services Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Subscriber Services Agreement which is filed as Exhibit 10.4 hereto and which is incorporated herein by reference.

In addition, the Party retaining such Asset or Liability shall, insofar as reasonably possible and to the extent permitted by applicable law, treat such Asset or Liability in the ordinary course of business in accordance with past practice and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the Party to which such Asset is to be Transferred or by the Party assuming such Liability to place such Party, insofar as reasonably possible, in the same position as if such Asset or Liability had been Transferred or assumed as contemplated hereby and so that all the benefits and burdens relating to such Asset or Liability, including possession, use, risk of loss, potential for gain, and dominion, control and command over such Asset or Liability, are to inure from and after the date hereof to the member or members of the Travelport Affiliated Group or the OWW Affiliated Group entitled to the receipt of such Asset or required to assume such Liability. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Parties agree that, as of the date hereof, each Party shall be deemed to have acquired complete and sole beneficial ownership over all of the Assets, together with all rights, powers and privileges incident thereto, and shall be deemed to have assumed in accordance with the terms of

14




this Agreement all of the Liabilities, and all duties, obligations and responsibilities incident thereto, which such Party is entitled to acquire or required to assume pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(b)          If and when the consents, governmental approvals and/or conditions, the absence or non-satisfaction of which caused the deferral of Transfer of any Asset or deferral of the Assumption of any Liability pursuant to Section 2.6(a) , are obtained or satisfied, the Transfer, assignment, Assumption or novation of the applicable Asset or Liability shall be effected in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement.

(c)           The Party retaining any Asset or Liability due to the deferral of the Transfer of such Asset or the deferral of the Assumption of such Liability pursuant to Section 2.6(a) or otherwise shall not be obligated, in connection with the foregoing, to expend any money unless the necessary funds are advanced, assumed, or agreed in advance to be reimbursed by the Party entitled to such Asset or the Person intended to be subject to such Liability, other than reasonable attorneys’ fees and recording or similar fees, all of which shall be promptly reimbursed by the Party entitled to such Asset or the Person intended to be subject to such Liability.

(d)          On and prior to the twelve (12) month anniversary of the date hereof, if either Party owns any Asset, that, although not Transferred pursuant to this Agreement, is agreed by such Party and the other Party in their good faith judgment to be an Asset that more properly belongs to the other Party or a Subsidiary of the other Party, or an Asset that such other Party or Subsidiary was intended to have the right to continue to use (other than (for the avoidance of doubt) any Asset acquired from an unaffiliated third party by a Party or member of such Party’s Affiliated Group following the date hereof), then the Party owning such Asset shall, as applicable (i) Transfer any such Asset to the Party identified as the appropriate transferee, or (ii) grant such mutually agreeable rights with respect to such Asset to permit such continued use, in each case subject to and consistent with this Agreement, including with respect to Assumption of any associated Liabilities by the transferee.  The Parties intend that all contracts wholly related to the B2C Businesses held by TAI as of June 1, 2007 properly belong to OWW, and such contracts shall be transferred from TAI to OWW as soon as possible (pending any required third party consent) after the date hereof if not previously transferred; contracts held by TAI as of such date that relate in part to the B2C Businesses and in part to the B2B Businesses shall be treated in accordance with  Section 2.2(c) .

(e)           After the date hereof, each Party may receive mail, packages and other communications properly belonging to the other Party. Accordingly, at all times after the date hereof, each Party authorizes the other Party to receive and open all mail, packages and other communications received by such Party and not unambiguously intended for such Party, any member of such Party’s Affiliated Group or any of their officers or directors, and to the extent that they do not relate to the business of the receiving Party, the receiving Party shall promptly deliver such mail, packages or other communications (or, in case the same relate to both businesses, copies thereof) to the other Party. The provisions of this Section 2.6(e) are not intended to, and shall not, be deemed to constitute an authorization by either Party to permit the other to accept service of process on its behalf and neither Party is or shall be deemed to be the agent of the other Party for service of process purposes.

15




(f)             Each of Travelport and OWW shall, and shall cause the members of its respective Affiliated Group to, (i) treat for all income tax purposes (A) the deferred Assets as Assets having been Transferred to and owned by the Party entitled to such Assets not later than the date hereof and (B) the deferred Liabilities as Liabilities having been assumed and owed by the Person intended to be subject to such Liabilities not later than the date hereof and (ii) neither report nor take any income tax position (on a tax return or otherwise) inconsistent with such treatment (unless required by a change in applicable tax law or good faith resolution of a tax contest relating to income taxes).

Section 2.7  Conveyancing and Assumption Instruments .  In connection with, and in furtherance of, the Transfers of Assets and the Assumptions of Liabilities contemplated by this Agreement, the Parties shall execute or cause to be executed, on or prior to the date hereof, by the appropriate entities, the conveyancing and assumption instruments necessary to evidence the valid and effective Assumption by the applicable Party of its assumed Liabilities and the valid Transfer to the applicable Party or member of such Party’s Affiliated Group of all right, title and interest in and to its accepted Assets, in substantially the form contemplated hereby for Transfers and Assumptions to be effected pursuant to New York law or the laws of one of the other states of the United States or, if not appropriate for a given Transfer, and for Transfers to be effected pursuant to non-U.S. laws, in such other form as the Parties shall reasonably agree, including the Transfer of real property with deeds as may be appropriate. The Transfer of capital stock shall be effected by means of executed stock powers and notation on the stock record books of the corporation or other legal entities involved, or by such other means as may be required in any non-U.S. jurisdiction to Transfer title to stock and, only to the extent required by applicable law, by notation on public registries.

 

Section 2.8  Further Assurances .

 

(a)           In addition to and without limiting the actions specifically provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, including Section 2.6 , each of the Parties shall cooperate with each other and use (and will cause their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates to use) commercially reasonable efforts, on and after the date hereof, to take, or to cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or to cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary on its part under applicable law or contractual obligations to consummate and make effective the Transactions.

(b)          Without limiting the foregoing, on and after the date hereof, each Party shall cooperate with the other Parties, and without any further consideration, but at the expense of the requesting Party from and after the date hereof, to execute and deliver, or use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be executed and delivered, all instruments, including instruments of Transfer, and to make all filings with, and to obtain all consents and/or governmental approvals, any permit, license, contract, indenture or other instrument (including any consents or governmental approvals), and to take all such other actions as such Party may reasonably be requested to take by the other Party from time to time, consistent with the terms of this Agreement, to effectuate the provisions and purposes of this Agreement and the Transfers of the applicable Assets and the assignment and Assumption of the applicable Liabilities and the other transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. Without limiting the foregoing, each Party will, at the reasonable request, cost and expense of the other Party, take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to vest in such other Party good and marketable title to the Assets allocated

16




to such Party under this Agreement, free and clear of any security interest, if and to the extent it is practicable to do so.

Section 2.9  Novation of Liabilities .

 

(a)           Except as to any B2B Liabilities or B2C Liabilities otherwise Assumed pursuant to this Article II, or as otherwise provided in Schedule A to Exhibit A of the Transition Services Agreement, each Party, at the request of the other party, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any consent, substitution or amendment required to novate or assign all Liabilities under contracts, licenses and other obligations for which a member of such Party’s Affiliated Group and a member of the other party’s Affiliated Group are jointly or severally liable and that do not constitute Liabilities of such other party as provided in this Agreement (such other party, the “ Other Party ”), or to obtain in writing the unconditional release of all parties to such arrangements (other than any member of the Affiliated Group who assumed or retained such Liability as set forth in this Agreement), so that, in any such case, the members of the applicable Affiliated Group will be solely responsible for such Liabilities; provided , however, that neither Party shall be obligated to pay any consideration therefor to any third party from whom any such consent, substitution or amendment is requested (unless such Party is fully reimbursed by the requesting Party).

(b)          If the Parties are unable to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any such required consent, release, substitution or amendment pursuant to Section 2.9(a) , the Other Party or a member of such Other Party’s Affiliated Group shall continue to be bound by such contract, license or other obligation that does not constitute a Liability of such Other Party and, unless not permitted by law or the terms thereof, as agent or subcontractor for such Party, the Party or member of such Party’s Affiliated Group who assumed or retained such Liability as set forth in this Agreement (the “ Liable Party ”) shall, or shall cause a member of its Affiliated Group to, directly pay, perform and discharge fully all the obligations or other Liabilities of such Other Party or member of such Other Party’s Affiliated Group thereunder from and after the date hereof. The Liable Party shall indemnify each Other Party and hold each of them harmless against any Liabilities (other than Liabilities of such Other Party) arising in connection therewith; provided , that the Liable Party shall have no obligation to indemnify the Other Party with respect to any matter to the extent that such Other Party has engaged in any knowing violation of law, fraud or misrepresentation in connection therewith. The Other Party shall, without further consideration, promptly pay and remit, or cause to be promptly paid or remitted, to the Liable Party or to another member of the Liable Party’s Affiliated Group, all money, rights and other consideration received by it or any member of its Affiliated Group in respect of such performance by the Liable Party (unless any such consideration is an Asset of such Other Party pursuant to this Agreement). If and when any such consent, release, substitution or amendment shall be obtained or such agreement, lease, license or other rights or obligations shall otherwise become assignable or able to be novated, the Other Party shall promptly Transfer all rights, obligations and other Liabilities thereunder of any member of such Other Party’s Affiliated Group to the Liable Party or to another member of the Liable Party’s Affiliated Group without payment of any further consideration and the Liable Party, or another member of such Liable Party’s Affiliated Group, without the payment of any further consideration, shall assume such rights and Liabilities.

EQUITY PURCHASE RIGHTS

Section 3.1  Equity Purchase Rights .  So long as the members of the Travelport Affiliated Group beneficially own, in the aggregate, Voting Stock entitled to fifty percent (50%) or more of the votes entitled to be cast by the then outstanding Voting Stock, the members of the Travelport Affiliated Group shall have the equity purchase rights set forth in this Section 3.1 (the “ Equity Purchase Rights ”); provided, that the members of the Travelport Affiliated Group shall not be entitled to Equity Purchase Rights to the extent that the principal national securities exchange in the United States on which the Common Stock is listed, if any, prohibits or limits the granting by OWW of such Equity Purchase Rights.

 

As soon as practicable after determining to issue Equity Securities, but in any event at least five Business Days prior to the issuance of Equity Securities to any Person other than to a member of the Travelport Affiliated Group (and other than Equity Securities (i) if OWW then has outstanding Public Company Stock, issued under dividend reinvestment plans which offer Voting Stock to security holders at a discount from Average Market Price (as defined below) no greater than is customary for public corporations at such time, (ii) issued pursuant to the IPO, (iii) issued in mergers, acquisitions and exchange offers (including transactions in respect of which Travelport has provided its consent pursuant to Article Tenth of the Charter), or (iv) pursuant to its equity incentive plans approved by its Board of Directors), OWW shall notify Travelport in writing of such proposed issuance (which notice shall specify, to the extent practicable, the purchase price (or other consideration) for, and terms and conditions of, such Equity Securities) and shall offer to sell to Travelport (which offer may be assigned by Travelport to another member of the Travelport Affiliated Group) at the purchase price (net of any underwriting discounts or commissions), if any, to be paid by the transferee(s) of such Equity Securities, an amount of Equity Securities determined as provided below.  Immediately

21




after the amount of Equity Securities to be sold to other Persons is known to OWW, it shall notify Travelport (or such assignee) of such amount.  If such offer is accepted in writing within ten Business Days after the notice of such proposed sale (or such longer period as is necessary for the members of the Travelport Affiliated Group to obtain any required regulatory approvals), OWW shall issue to such member of the Travelport Affiliated Group an amount of Equity Securities (the “ Equity Securities Amount ”) equal to the product of (A) the quotient of (x) the number of shares of Voting Stock owned by the members of the Travelport Affiliated Group, in the aggregate, immediately prior to the issuance of the Equity Securities by (y) the aggregate number of shares of Outstanding Voting Stock owned by Persons other than by members of the Travelport Affiliated Group immediately prior to the issuance of the Equity Securities, multiplied by (B) the aggregate number of Equity Securities proposed to be issued by OWW to Persons other than to members of the Travelport Affiliated Group, rounded up to the nearest whole Equity Security.  If, at the time of the determination of any Equity Securities Amount, any other Person has preemptive or other equity purchase rights similar to the Equity Purchase Rights, such Equity Securities Amount shall be recalculated to take into account the amount of Voting Stock to be sold to such Persons, rounding up such Equity Securities Amount to the nearest whole Equity Security.  If OWW determines in good faith that, in light of the advice of an investment banking firm advising it or of its other financial advisors, it must consummate the issuance and sale of the Equity Securities prior to the members of the Travelport Affiliated Group having obtained any necessary regulatory approvals, OWW shall notify Travelport in writing of such determination and shall then be free so to consummate such issuance and sale without the members of the Travelport Affiliated Group having the right then to purchase their proportionate share of such Equity Securities; provided , however, that in such event the members of the Travelport Affiliated Group shall have the right to purchase from OWW, within 60 Business Days (or such longer period (up to two years) as is necessary for the members of the Travelport Affiliated Group to obtain such regulatory approvals) Voting Stock in an amount equal to the amount of Voting Stock it would have received had it been able to purchase (and, in the case of Equity Securities other than Voting Stock, securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into Voting Stock) the Equity Securities offered to it pursuant to this Section 3.1 , at a per share purchase price equal to the lower of (i) the sum of the purchase price (net of any underwriting discounts or commissions), if any, paid by the transferee(s) plus the exercise price, if any, of such Equity Securities, or (ii) the Average Market Price per share of Voting Stock and, if there is no Average Market Price, the Fair Market Value per share of Voting Stock, in each case, at the time of purchase by the applicable member(s) of the Travelport Affiliated Group.

The purchase and sale of any Equity Securities pursuant to this Section 3.1 shall take place at 9:00 am on the latest of (i) the fifth Business Day following the acceptance of such offer, (ii) the Business Day on which such Equity Securities are issued to Persons other than the members of the Travelport Affiliated Group and (iii) the fifth Business Day following the expiration of any required governmental or other regulatory waiting periods or the obtaining of any required governmental or other regulatory consents or approvals, at the offices of Travelport indicated in Section 10.1 hereof, or at such other time and place in New York City as Travelport and OWW shall agree.  At the time of purchase, OWW shall deliver to Travelport (or such assignee) certificates registered in the name of the appropriate member(s) of the Travelport Affiliated Group representing the shares purchased and Travelport shall transfer to OWW the purchase price in United States dollars by bank check or wire transfer of immediately available funds, as specified by OWW, to an account designated by OWW not less than five Business

22




Days prior to the date of purchase.  OWW and the members of the Travelport Affiliated Group will use their best efforts to comply as soon as practicable with all federal and state laws and regulations and stock exchange listing requirements applicable to any purchase and sale of securities under this Section 3.1 . In the event that the consideration to be provided to OWW in connection with the issuance of Equity Securities that resulted in this Section 3.1 being applicable is other than cash, then Travelport shall have the option of paying the purchase price in either (i) the form of such other consideration, if practicable, or (ii) cash, based on the Fair Market Value of the consideration being received by OWW.

As used herein, “ Average Market Price ” of any security on any date means the average of the daily closing prices for the 10 consecutive Trading Days selected by OWW commencing not less than 20 days nor more than 30 Trading Days before the day in question.  The closing price for each day shall be the last reported sale price regular way or, in case no such reported sale takes place on such day, the average of the reported closing bid and asked prices regular way, in either case on the New York Stock Exchange or, if such security is not listed or admitted to trading on such exchange, on the principal national securities exchange on which such security is listed or admitted to trading or, if not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange or, if such security is not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the average of the closing bid and asked prices in the over-the-counter market as furnished by any New York Stock Exchange member firm selected from time to time by OWW for that purpose.  For the purpose of this definition, the term “ Trading Day ” shall mean each Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, other than any day on which securities are not traded on such exchange or in such market.

27




accountants to such a vote, OWW shall cause its independent certified public accountants to be such accounting firm as is designated, from time to time, by Travelport.

(o)          Coordination of Auditors’ Opinions .  OWW will use its best efforts to enable its independent certified public accountants (the “ OWW Auditors ”) to complete their audit such that they will date their opinion on OWW’s audited annual financial statements on the same date that Travelport independent certified public accountants (the “ Travelport Auditors ”) date their opinion on any Travelport Affiliated Group member’s preparation of its audited annual financial statements and its Annual Reports to Shareholders (collectively the “ Travelport Annual Statements ”), and to enable Travelport to meet its timetable for the printing, filing and public dissemination of the Travelport Annual Statements.

(p)          Access to Personnel and Working Papers .  OWW will authorize the OWW Auditors to make available to the Travelport Auditors both the personnel who performed or are performing the annual audit of OWW and, consistent with customary professional practice and courtesy of such auditors with respect to the furnishing of work papers, work papers related to the annual audit of OWW, in all cases within a reasonable time after the OWW Auditors opinion date, so that the Travelport Auditors are able to perform the procedures they consider necessary to take responsibility for the work of the OWW Auditors as it relates to the Travelport Auditors’ report on the Travelport Annual Statements, all within sufficient time to enable Travelport to meet its timetable for the printing, filing and public dissemination of the Travelport Annual Statements.

(r)             Financial Reporting Systems .              Without Travelport’s prior written consent, no member of the OWW Affiliated Group shall change any of its financial reporting systems from Oracle or such other financial reporting system as it has in place on the date hereof.

29




member of the OWW Affiliated Group shall be required to provide any information pursuant to this Article IV if such member reasonably and in good faith concludes that the provision of such information could serve as a waiver of any Privilege afforded such information.

ARTICLE V

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

Section 5.1  Piggyback Registrations .

(a)           Right to Piggyback .  Whenever OWW proposes to register any sale of its Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock) under the Securities Act for its own account or the account of any securityholder of OWW (other than the IPO, offerings pursuant to employee benefit plans, or noncash offerings in connection with a proposed acquisition, exchange offer, recapitalization or similar transaction) and the registration form to be used may be used for the registration of the offer and sale of Registrable Securities (a “ Piggyback Registration ”), OWW will give prompt written notice to Travelport and to all other holders of Common Stock having similar registration rights, of its intention to effect such a registration and, subject to Section 5.1(b) hereof, shall include in such registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which OWW has received written request for inclusion therein within 15 days after receipt of OWW’s notice.

(b)          Priority .  If a registration pursuant to this Section 5.1 involves an Underwritten Offering and the managing underwriter advises OWW in good faith that in its opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without having an adverse effect on such offering, including the price at which such securities can be sold, then OWW will be required to include in such registration the maximum number of shares that such underwriter advises can be so sold without such adverse effect, allocated:

(i)                                      if such registration was initiated by OWW, (x) first, to the securities OWW proposes to sell, (y) second, among the shares of Common Stock requested to be included in such registration by members of the Travelport Affiliated Group and any other stockholder of OWW owning shares of Common Stock eligible for registration, pro rata , on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock each holder requests be included in such registration, and (z) third, among other securities, if any, requested and otherwise eligible to be included in such registration; and

(ii)                                   if such registration was initiated by a security holder of OWW, (w) first, among the shares of Common Stock requested to be included in such registration by such requesting security holder, (x) second, among the shares of Common Stock requested to be included in such registration by any member of the Travelport Affiliated Group, (y) third, among the shares of Common Stock requested to be included in such registration by any other stockholder of OWW owning shares of Common Stock eligible for such registration, pro rata , on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock each holder requests be included

30




in such registration, and (z) fourth, among other securities, if any, requested and otherwise eligible to be included in such registration (including securities to be sold for the account of OWW).

(c)           Termination of Offering .  In the case of a registration initiated by OWW, nothing contained herein shall prohibit OWW from determining, at any time, not to file a registration statement or, if filed, to withdraw such registration or terminate or abandon the registration related thereto, without prejudice, however, to the rights of the members of the Travelport Affiliated Group to immediately request a registration pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof.

Section 5.2  Requested Registrations .

 

(a)           Right to Request Registration .  At any time after the date hereof, upon the written request of any member of the Travelport Affiliated Group requesting that OWW effect the registration under the Securities Act of all or part of the Registrable Securities (a “ Demand Registration ”), OWW shall use its best efforts to effect, as expeditiously as possible, the registration under the Securities Act of such number of Registrable Securities requested to be so registered; provided , that OWW shall not be required to file a registration statement pursuant to this Section 5.2(a) , (i) within a period of six months after the effective date of any other registration statement of OWW requested under this Section 5.2 or pursuant to which any member of the Travelport Affiliated Group shall have been given an opportunity to participate pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof, (ii) relating to an offering on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 (or any successor rule to similar effect) promulgated under the Securities Act if OWW is not, at the time, eligible to register shares of Common Stock on Form S-3 (or a successor form), or (iii) with respect to any offering that is not reasonably expected to yield gross proceeds of at least $50 million; provided , that in the event that the members of the Travelport Affiliated Group, collectively, do not own at the time of such request such amount of Registrable Securities of the kind and type being so registered that would be reasonably expected to yield gross proceeds of at least $50 million, then the restriction contained in clause (iii) of this Section 5.2(a) shall be disregarded with respect to such registration.

Promptly after receipt of any such request for Demand Registration, OWW shall give written notice of such request to all other holders of Common Stock having rights to have their shares included in such registration and shall, subject to the provisions of Section 5.2(c) hereof, include in such registration all such Registrable Securities with respect to which each member of the Travelport Affiliated Group or such other stockholder has requested to be so registered.

(b)          Effective Registration .  A registration requested pursuant to this Section 5.2 shall not be deemed to have been effected (and, therefore, not requested for purposes of Section 5.2(a) above) (i) unless the registration statement relating thereto has become effective under the Securities Act, (ii) if, after it has become effective, such registration is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or other governmental agency or court for any reason other than a misrepresentation or an omission by any member of the Travelport Affiliated Group and, as a result thereof, the Registrable Securities requested to be registered cannot be completely distributed in accordance with the plan of distribution, (iii) if the conditions to closing specified in the purchase agreement or underwriting agreement entered into

31




in connection with such registration are not satisfied or waived other than by reason of some act or omission by any member of the Travelport Affiliated Group, or (iv) if, pursuant to Section 5.2(c) hereof, less than all of the Registrable Securities requested be registered were actually registered and sold.

(c)           Priority .  If a requested registration pursuant to this Section 5.2 involves an Underwritten Offering and the managing underwriter shall advise OWW that in its opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without having an adverse effect on such offering, including the price at which such securities can be sold, then OWW will be required to include in such registration the maximum number of shares that such underwriter advises can be so sold without having such adverse effect, allocated (i) first, to Registrable Securities requested by the member(s) of the Travelport Affiliated Group to be included in such registration, (ii) second, among all shares of Common Stock requested to be included in such registration by any other stockholder of OWW owning shares of Common Stock eligible for such registration, pro rata on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock requested to be included in such registration and (iii) third, among other securities, if any, requested and otherwise eligible to be included in such registration (including securities to be sold for the account of OWW).

(d)          Preemption of Demand Registration .  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Board of Directors of OWW determines in its good faith judgment, (i) after consultation with a nationally recognized investment banking firm, that there will be an adverse effect on a then-contemplated public offering of OWW’s securities, (ii) that the disclosures that would be required to be made by OWW in connection with such registration would be materially harmful to OWW because of transactions then being considered by, or other events then concerning, OWW, or (iii) that registration at the time would require the inclusion of pro forma or other information, which requirement OWW is reasonably unable to comply with, then OWW may defer the filing (but not the preparation) of the registration statement which is required to effect any registration pursuant to this Section 5.2 for a reasonable period of time, but not in excess of 90 calendar days (or any longer period agreed to by the requesting holders of Registrable Securities); provided , that at all times OWW is in good faith using all reasonable efforts to file the registration statement as soon as practicable.

(e)           Other Registration Rights .  OWW shall not grant to any Person the right, except to employees, directors, agents and consultants of OWW, to request OWW to register any securities of OWW except such rights as are not more favorable than the rights granted to the members of the Travelport Affiliated Group herein, without the written consent of Travelport.

Section 5.3  Registration Procedures .  If and whenever OWW is required to use its best efforts to effect or cause the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act as provided in this Agreement, OWW shall:

 

(a)           prepare and file with the SEC as expeditiously as possible but in no event later than 90 days after receipt of a request for registration with respect to such Registrable Securities, an automatically effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3, if available to OWW at such time, or, if not, a registration statement on any form for which OWW then qualifies or which counsel for OWW shall deem appropriate, which form shall be available for the sale of the

32




Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended methods of distribution thereof, and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective as soon as practicable, and to maintain the effectiveness of such form for three years from the date of its effectiveness; provided , that before filing with the SEC a registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, including any documents incorporated by reference therein, OWW shall (x) furnish to Travelport and to one counsel selected by Travelport (or by Travelport and holders of other securities covered by such registration statement, but in no event to more than one firm of attorneys for all such selling security holders) copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents shall be subject to the review of Travelport and such counsel, and (y) notify Travelport of any stop order issued or threatened by the SEC and take all reasonable actions required to prevent the entry of such stop order or to remove it if entered;

(b)          prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective for a period of not less than 180 days or such shorter period which shall terminate when all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement have been sold (but not before the expiration of the applicable period referred to in Section 4(3) of the Securities Act and Rule 174, or any successor thereto, thereunder, if applicable), and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement during such period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the sellers thereof set forth in such registration statement;

(c)           furnish, without charge, to Travelport and each underwriter, if any, such number of copies of such registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto (including one conformed copy to Travelport and one signed copy to each managing underwriter and in each case including all exhibits thereto), and the prospectus included in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus), in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as Travelport may reasonably request to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder;

(d)          use its best efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the selling holders, and the managing underwriter, if any, reasonably requests and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the selling holders and each underwriter, if any, to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder; provided , that OWW shall not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this paragraph (d), (ii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (iii) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction;

(e)           immediately notify the managing underwriter, if any, Travelport and the selling holders at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event which comes to OWW’s attention if as a result of such event the prospectus included in such registration statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and OWW shall promptly prepare and furnish to the selling holders a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that as thereafter delivered,

33




such prospectus shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; provided , however, that if OWW determines in good faith that the disclosure that would be required to be made by OWW would be materially harmful to OWW because of transactions then being considered by, or other events then concerning, OWW, or a supplement or amendment to such prospectus at such time would require the inclusion of pro forma or other information, which requirement OWW is reasonably unable to comply with, then OWW may defer, for a reasonable period of time not to exceed 90 days, furnishing to the selling holders a supplement or amendment to such prospectus; provided further, that at all times OWW is in good faith using all reasonable efforts to file such amendment as soon as practicable;

(f)             use its best efforts to cause all such securities being registered to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by OWW are then listed, and enter into such customary agreements including a listing application and indemnification agreement in customary form, provided , that the applicable listing requirements are satisfied, and to provide a transfer agent and registrar for such Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement no later than the effective date of such registration statement;

(g)          make available for inspection by Travelport and any holder of securities covered by such registration statement, any underwriter participating in any offering pursuant to such registration statement, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by such Persons (collectively, the “ Inspectors ”), all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the OWW Affiliated Group as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibilities, and cause officers, directors and employees of members of the OWW Affiliated Group to supply all information and respond to all inquiries reasonably requested by any such Inspector in connection with such registration statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, OWW shall have no obligation to disclose any such records to the Inspectors in the event OWW determines that such disclosure is reasonable likely to have an adverse effect on OWW’s ability to assert the existence of an attorney-client privilege with respect thereto;

(h)          if requested, use its best efforts to obtain a “cold comfort” letter from OWW’s independent public accountants in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by “cold comfort” letters;

(i)              make available senior management personnel to participate in, and cause them to cooperate with the underwriters in connection with, “road show” and other customary marketing activities, including “one-on-one” meetings with prospective purchasers of the Registrable Securities;

(j)              otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earning statement covering a period of at least 12 months, beginning with the first month after the effective date of the registration statement (as the term “effective date” is defined in Rule 158(c) under the Securities Act), which earning statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder; and

34




(k)           if requested to do so by the selling holders, use its best efforts to create a depositary arrangement whereby depositary shares representing fractional shares of Registrable Securities will be issued and to cause to be prepared and to execute customary documentation with respect to such depositary arrangement and such other documentation that the selling holders may reasonably request to facilitate the disposition of the depositary shares created thereunder (including, but not limited to, engaging a depositary and preparing and executing a depositary agreement).

Section 5.7  Conversion of Other Securities .  If any holder of Registrable Securities offers any options, rights, warrants or other securities issued by it or any other Person that are offered with, convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for any Registrable Securities, the Registrable Securities underlying such options, rights, warrants or other securities shall be eligible for registration pursuant to Sections 5.1 and 5.2 hereof.

 

Section 5.8  Rule 144 .  If and for so long as OWW is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, OWW shall take such measures and file such information, documents and reports as shall be required by the SEC as a condition to the availability of Rule 144 (or any successor provision) under the Securities Act.

 

Section 5.9  Transfer of Registration Rights .

 

(a)           Any member of the Travelport Affiliated Group may transfer all or any portion of its rights under this Article V to any transferee (each, a “ Transferee ”) of Registrable Securities.  Any transfer of registration rights pursuant to this Section 5.9 shall be effective upon receipt by OWW of written notice from such member of the Travelport Affiliated Group stating the name and address of any Transferee and identifying the amount of Registrable Securities with respect to which the rights under this Article V (and Article VI hereof) are being transferred and the nature of the rights so transferred.  In connection with any such transfer, the term “Travelport” or “member of the Travelport Affiliated Group” as used in this Article V shall, where appropriate to assign such rights and obligations to such Transferee, be deemed to refer to the Transferee.  Any member of the Travelport Affiliated Group and such Transferees may exercise the registration rights hereunder in such proportion as they shall agree among themselves.

(b)          After such transfer, each member of the Travelport Affiliated Group shall retain its rights under this Agreement with respect to all other Registrable Securities owned by such member of the Travelport Affiliated Group.

37




contained in any Public Filing of any member of the Travelport Affiliated Group, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only with respect to information, if any, provided by any member of the OWW Affiliated Group in writing to any member of the Travelport Affiliated Group expressly for use in such Public Filing, (viii) third party claims of intellectual property infringement based on, arising out of, resulting from or in connection with the Services (as defined in the Transition Services Agreement) provided under the Transition Services Agreement, unless such infringement is a result of the willful misconduct of Travelport, acting as Service Provider (as defined in the Transition Services Agreement), (ix) the actions of any employee of any member of the Travelport Affiliated Group whose salary and benefits OWW is required to reimburse to such member of the Travelport Affiliated Group pursuant Section 8.1 , and (x) any failure of OWW to reimburse Travelport pursuant to its obligations under Section 2.10(d) hereof or for other actions or failures to act by OWW related to letters of credit issued on its behalf under the Travelport Credit Facility.

(c)           The indemnity agreement contained in Sections 6.1(a) and (b) shall be applicable whether or not any Action or the facts or transactions giving rise to such Action arose prior to, on or subsequent to the date of this Agreement.

Section 6.2  Registration Statement Indemnification .

(a)           OWW agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each member of the Travelport Affiliated Group, each Person to whom registration rights shall have been transferred pursuant to Section 5.9 hereof and each Person, if any, who controls any of the foregoing within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “ Registration Indemnitees ”) from and against any and all Losses arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or Prospectus, or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such Losses arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission which has been made therein or omitted therefrom in reliance upon and in conformity with (i) information relating to a Registration Indemnitee furnished in writing to any member of the OWW Affiliated Group by or on behalf of such Registration Indemnitee expressly for use in the Registration Statement or Prospectus, and (ii) information relating to any underwriter furnished in writing to any member of the OWW Affiliated Group by or on behalf of such underwriter expressly for use in the Registration Statement or Prospectus.

(b)          Each Registration Indemnitee agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless each member of the OWW Affiliated Group and any of their respective directors or officers who sign any Registration Statement, and any Person who controls OWW within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from OWW to each Registration Indemnitee, but only with respect to information relating to such Registration Indemnitee furnished in writing to any member of the OWW Affiliated Group by or on behalf of such Registration Indemnitee expressly for use in any Registration Statement or Prospectus.  For purposes of this Section 6.2(b) , any information relating to any underwriter that is contained in a Registration Statement

38




or Prospectus shall not be deemed to be information relating to a Registration Indemnitee.  If any Action shall be brought against OWW, any of its directors, any such officer, or any such controlling Person based on any Registration Statement or Prospectus and in respect of which indemnity may be sought against a Registration Indemnitee pursuant to this paragraph (b), such Registration Indemnitee shall have the rights and duties given to OWW by Section 6.4 hereof (except that if OWW shall have assumed the defense thereof such Registration Indemnitee shall not be required to do so, but may employ separate counsel therein and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at such Registration Indemnitee’s expense), and OWW, its directors, any such officer, and any such controlling Person shall have the rights and duties given to such Registration Indemnitee by Section 6.4 hereof.

Section 6.3  Contribution .

(a)           If the indemnification provided for in this Article VI is unavailable to an indemnified Party under Section 6.2 hereof in respect of any Losses referred to therein, then an indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified Party as a result of such Losses (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by OWW on the one hand and the applicable Registration Indemnitee on the other hand from the offering of the securities covered by such Registration Statement and Prospectus, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of OWW on the one hand and the applicable Registration Indemnitee on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative benefits received by OWW on the one hand and a Registration Indemnitee on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the applicable securities offering (before deducting expenses) received by OWW bear to the total net proceeds from such offering (before deducting expenses) received by such Registration Indemnitee.  The relative fault of OWW on the one hand and the applicable Registration Indemnitee on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by OWW on the one hand or by such Registration Indemnitee on the other hand and the Parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(b)          OWW and each Registration Indemnitee agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6.3 were determined by a pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (a) above.  The amount paid or payable by an indemnified Party as a result of the Losses referred to in paragraph (a) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified Party in connection with investigating any claim or defending any such Action.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6.3 , a Registration Indemnitee shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the proceeds to such Registration Indemnitee exceeds the amount of any damages which such Registration Indemnitee has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged

39




omission.  No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

Section 6.4  Procedure . If any Action shall be brought against a Registration Indemnitee or any other Person entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VI (collectively with the Registration Indemnitees, the “ Indemnitees ”) in respect of which indemnity may be sought against OWW, such Indemnitee shall promptly notify OWW, and OWW shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel and payment of all fees and expenses.  Such Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action, suit or proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Person unless (i) OWW has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses, (ii) OWW has failed to assume the defense and employ counsel, or (iii) the named parties to an Action (including any impleaded parties) include both an Indemnitee and OWW and such Indemnitee shall have been advised by its counsel that representation of such indemnified Party and OWW by the same counsel would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct (whether or not such representation by the same counsel has been proposed) due to actual or potential differing interests between them (in which case OWW shall not have the right to assume the defense of such Action on behalf of such Indemnitee).  It is understood, however, that OWW shall, in connection with any one such Action or separate but substantially similar or related Actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of only one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) at any time for all such indemnified Persons not having actual or potential differing interests among themselves, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred.  OWW shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Action effected without its written consent, but if settled with such written consent, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such Action, OWW agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee, to the extent provided in the preceding paragraph, from and against any Losses by reason of such settlement or judgment.

Section 6.5  Other Matters .

(a)           No indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Action in respect of which any indemnified Party is or could have been a Party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Action.

(b)          Any Losses for which an indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification or contribution under this Article VI shall be paid by the indemnifying Party to the indemnified Party as such Losses are incurred.  The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Article VI shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnitee, OWW, its directors or officers, or any Person controlling OWW, and (ii) any termination of this Agreement.

(c)           The Parties hereto shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, cooperate with each other in a reasonable manner with respect to access to unprivileged

40




information and similar matters in connection with any Action.  The provisions of this Article VI are for the benefit of, and are intended to create third party beneficiary rights in favor of, each of the indemnified parties referred to herein.

ARTICLE VII

Travelport shall have the sole and absolute authority to collect funds from OWW for all such deductibles and associated expenses, including defense costs, and to manage any and all claims filed under any policy referred to in this Section 7.1 or any insurance coverage or self-insurance relating to prior periods, including prior coverage for Travelport and OWW referred to in Section 11.3 of the Cendant Separation Agreement.  OWW shall have the right, subject to the foregoing, to consult with Travelport regarding the management and settlement of any and all OWW claims filed under any policy referred to in this Section 7.1 and in Section 11.3 of the Cendant Separation Agreement, but OWW acknowledges that all contact with any insurance company providing such coverage shall be directed exclusively through Travelport.

(b)          OWW acknowledges that under Claims Made Policies of Travelport, all insurance coverage for OWW for any occurrence, act, omission or event taking place prior to the date hereof and for any liability or condition arising after the date hereof shall terminate as of the date hereof, and that no OWW claims may be brought against Claims Made Policies of Travelport.

Section 7.2  Non-Solicitation; Non-Hire . (a)              Except as provided in Section 7.2(b) , for a period of two years following the IPO, no member of the Travelport Affiliated Group, on the one hand, or the OWW Affiliated Group, on the other hand, will, without the prior written consent of OWW or Travelport, respectively, either directly or indirectly, on their own behalf or in the service or on behalf of others, solicit or hire, or attempt to solicit or hire, any Person employed by any member of the other Affiliated Group (a “ Solicitation ”) whose annual base salary plus cash bonus exceeds $150,000 (or its equivalent in U.S. currencies), excluding any equity-based compensation element of such bonus (the “ Restricted Employees ”), whether or not such employee is a full-time or a temporary employee of any member of the Travelport Affiliated Group or the OWW Affiliated Group (as applicable), and whether or not such employment is pursuant to written agreement; provided, that the foregoing will not (i) prevent either Party or their Affiliated Group from soliciting or hiring any such Person after the termination of such employee’s employment by their respective employer unless specifically prohibited by such employee’s separation agreement, if any, with any member of the Travelport

41




Affiliated Group or the OWW Affiliated Group (as applicable), (ii) prohibit either Party from placing public advertisements or conducting any other form of general solicitation which is not specifically targeted towards the Restricted Employees, or (iii) apply to any individual listed on Schedule 7.2(a) hereto; provided, further, that a general solicitation conducted by an employment agency on behalf of one of the Parties which inadvertently contacts a Restricted Employee will not trigger this Section 7.2 , so long as such Restricted Employee is not hired by the Party conducting the general solicitation for employees of their Affiliated Group.

(b)          However, in the case of any Solicitation of (i) Donvand Limited and its Subsidiaries and (ii) Octopus Travel Group Limited and its Subsidiaries, the period during which such entities are prohibited from any Solicitation shall be two years following the IPO and the term “Restricted Employee” shall include all employees of such entities regardless of the amount of their annual base salary.

Section 7.3  Form S-8 .  To the extent necessary to enable the unrestricted transfer of the applicable shares of OWW’s Common Stock, upon consummation of the IPO, OWW shall file and cause to remain effective a registration statement on Form S-8 (or such other applicable form) with the SEC to register the shares of OWW’s Common Stock that may be acquired by employees of Travelport pursuant to Travelport’s employee stock or option plans.

Section 7.4  Regulatory Approvals . To the extent that any regulatory or other approvals shall be necessary to effect and perform any of the provisions of this Agreement, the Parties hereto shall use their best efforts to obtain such approvals prior to the date upon which not obtaining such approvals would result in a default of such Party’s obligations hereunder.  If such approvals have not been obtained by such date, then each Party hereto shall not be deemed to be in default of its obligations hereunder so long as such Party is in good faith diligently using their best efforts to obtain such approvals as soon as practicable.  To the extent that any such regulatory approval is not obtained within a reasonable period of time after such date, Travelport and OWW shall in good faith use their best efforts to find and effect an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such provision.

Section 7.5  Charter Provision .  OWW shall comply with, and shall cause each of its present and future direct and indirect Subsidiaries to take any and all actions necessary to ensure continued compliance by each such member of the OWW Affiliated Group with, the terms and provisions of the Charter.  OWW shall notify Travelport in writing as soon as possible after becoming aware of any act or activity taken or proposed to be taken by any member of the OWW Affiliated Group which resulted or would result in non-compliance with the Charter and shall take or refrain from taking all such actions as Travelport shall in its sole discretion determine necessary or desirable to prevent or remedy any such non-compliance.

Section 7.6  Access to Historical Records . Subject to Section 7.12 , Travelport and OWW will retain the right to access the shared or commingled historical records, including but not limited to, the books, records, and such other records, files, information and/or data, or portions thereof (the “ Records ”) related to the historical corporate association of OWW with Travelport stored at the facilities of Iron Mountain Inc. The ownership of any Records relating solely to either Party shall be transferred to such Party to the extent not already owned by such Party.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the retention of and access to

42




Records related to the tax matters of OWW will be governed exclusively by the Tax Sharing Agreement.  The provision of any Records shall not be deemed a waiver of any Privilege and the Parties shall use reasonable efforts to maintain and protect such Privileges with reasonable prior notice and in consultation with the other Parties.

Section 7.7  Records Stemming from Affiliate Relationship .  For a period of one year following the Trigger Date, subject to an extension (a) of up to five years upon the demonstration of a legal or regulatory requirement for such extension by the requesting Party or (b) for any longer period required under the Cendant Separation Agreement, Travelport and OWW will retain the right to access such other records which exist resulting from Travelport’s and OWW’s relationship as affiliates.  Upon reasonable notice and at each Party’s own expense, Travelport (and its authorized representatives) and OWW (and its authorized representatives) will be afforded access to such records at reasonable times and during normal business hours and each Party (and its authorized representatives) will be permitted, at its own expense, to make abstracts from, or copies of, any such records; provided , access to such records may be denied if (i) Travelport or OWW, as the case may be, cannot demonstrate a legitimate business need, for the one year period following the Trigger Date, or a legal or regulatory requirement, for the extension period described above, for such access to the records, (ii) the information contained in the records is subject to any applicable confidentiality commitment to a third party, (iii) a bona fide competitive reason exists to deny such access, (iv) the records are to be used for the initiation of, or as part of, a suit or claim against the other Party, (v) Travelport or OWW, as the case may be,  reasonably and in good faith concludes that such access would serve as a waiver of any Privilege afforded to such record, and (vi) such access will unreasonably disrupt the normal operations of Travelport or OWW, as the case may be.  Any Records or information provided by or on behalf of or made available by or on behalf of the other Party hereto pursuant to this Article VII shall be on an “as is,” “where is” basis and neither Party is making any representation or warranty with respect to such records or the completeness thereof.

Section 7.8  Litigation and Settlement Cooperation .

(a)           With respect to any claim or demand made against any member of either the Travelport Affiliated Group or the OWW Affiliated Group (each, a “ Third Party Claim ”) that implicates at least one member of each of the Travelport Affiliated Group and the OWW Affiliated Group in a material fashion due to the allocation of Losses, responsibilities for management of defense and related indemnities pursuant to this Agreement, the Parties agree to use reasonable best efforts to cooperate fully and maintain a joint defense (in a manner that will preserve for the applicable parties the attorney-client privilege, joint defense or other privilege with respect thereto). The Party that is not responsible for managing the defense of such Third Party Claims shall, upon reasonable request, be consulted with respect to significant matters relating thereto and may, if necessary or helpful, retain counsel to assist in the defense of such claims.

(b)          Travelport and OWW agree that at all times henceforth, if an action is commenced by a third party with respect to which any member of either the Travelport Affiliated Group or the OWW Affiliated Group is a nominal defendant and/or such action is otherwise not a Loss allocated to any such Party under this Agreement, then such member of the Travelport

43

Section 7.12  Information

(a)           Travelport and OWW each acknowledges that the Records and other information and/or data, or portions thereof in its or in a member of its Affiliated Group’s possession, custody or control as of the Trigger Date may include Information owned by the other Party or a member of the other Party’s Affiliated Group and not related to (i) such Party or its business or (ii) the historical corporate association of OWW (the “ Information ”).

(b)          Notwithstanding such possession, custody or control, such Information specified in Section 7.12(a) shall remain the property of such other Party or member of such other Party’s Affiliated Group, subject to Section 7.6 .  Each Party agrees, subject to legal holds and other legal requirements and obligations, (i) that such Information is to be treated as Confidential Information of the Party to which it relates and (ii) subject to the Cendant Separation Agreement and the Transition Services Agreement, to use commercially reasonable efforts within a reasonable time to, where reasonably practical to do so without significant effort, (1) purge such Information from its databases, files and other systems and not retain any copy of such Information (including, if applicable, by transferring such Information to the party to which such Information belongs), or (2) if such purging is not practicable, to encrypt or otherwise make unreadable or inaccessible such Information.

Section 7.13   Travelport Credit Facility; Indentures .  So long as OWW is a restricted subsidiary under the Travelport Credit Facility or either of the Indentures, if OWW takes any action that requires any member of the Travelport Affiliated Group to repay or repurchase any of its outstanding indebtedness under the Travelport Credit Facility or the Indentures, OWW shall, within the period required by the Travelport Credit Facility or the Indentures, as applicable, pay to Travelport an amount in immediately available cash that will permit Travelport to repay or repurchase such outstanding indebtedness, as required by the Travelport Credit Facility and the Indentures, as applicable.

(collectively, “Galileo”) and various airlines (“GIGADA), and any Preferred Fares Select Agreements entered into by Galileo and such airlines in connection therewith (together, the “PFS Agreements”), and to share the same information with Travelport upon Travelport’s request, so long as any member of the OWW Affiliated Group is considered an “affiliate” under GIGADA and the PFS Agreements.

Section 7.15  Payment of Dividend to TDS .  OWW agrees to pay to TDS the dividends declared by OWW’s board of directors prior to the date hereof equal to the total amount of net proceeds resulting from the exercise, if any, of the IPO underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares of Common Stock, as described in the IPO S-1 (the “ Shoe Dividend ”).  The Shoe Dividend shall be paid by OWW to TDS on such date as the IPO underwriters pay funds to OWW to purchase additional shares of Common Stock pursuant to their option to do so, as described in the IPO S-1.

ARTICLE VIII

EMPLOYMENT MATTERS

Section 8.1  Employees on Travelport or OWW Payroll .  Travelport and OWW shall cooperate to identify (1) all employees of any member of the OWW Affiliated Group whose sole or primary responsibilities relate to the B2B Businesses (including without limitation Travelport Corporate Services), and (2) all employees of any member of the Travelport Affiliated Group whose sole or primary responsibilities relate the B2C Businesses, and the parties shall continue to employ each such employee, as directed by the other Party, until the earliest of: (x) each such employee’s termination of employment, as directed by the other Party; (y) the transfer of each such employee to payroll of any member of the other Affiliated Group or any third party with which the other Affiliated Group has contracted to employ or otherwise engage each such employee; or (z) December 31, 2007; provided , that if December 31, 2007 is the earliest such date, either Party shall, upon the reasonable request of the other Party, extend its employment of any employees specified by the other Party through March 31, 2008. Other than as provided in the proviso immediately preceding this sentence, neither Party shall have any obligation to employ any employees covered by this Section 8.1 after December 31, 2007. Until the date of any such employee’s transfer or termination of employment pursuant to this Section 8.1 , such employee shall continue to be employed by, receive compensation from, and participate in the employee benefit plans of, his or her employer as of the date of this Agreement, and each of Travelport and OWW shall reimburse the appropriate member of the other Affiliated Group for compensation and benefits applicable to employees who until such time as they are terminated or transferred pursuant to this Section 8.1 .

ARTICLE IX

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Section 9.1  Negotiation .  In the event of a controversy, dispute or claim arising out of, in connection with, or in relation to the interpretation, performance, nonperformance, validity or breach of this Agreement or otherwise arising out of, or in any way related to this Agreement or the Transactions, including any claim based on contract, tort, statute or constitution (but excluding any controversy, dispute or claim arising out of any contract relating

46




to the use or lease of real property if any third party is a necessary party to such controversy, dispute or claim) (collectively, “ Agreement Disputes ”), the general counsels of OWW and Travelport and/or such other executive officer designated by the relevant Party shall negotiate for a reasonable period of time to settle such Agreement Dispute; provided , that such reasonable period shall not, unless otherwise agreed by the relevant Parties in writing, exceed thirty (30) days from the time of receipt by any such Party of written notice of such Agreement Dispute (“ Dispute Notice ”); provided , further, that in the event of any arbitration in accordance with Section 9.2 hereof, the relevant parties shall not assert the defenses of statute of limitations and laches arising during the period beginning after the date of receipt of the Dispute Notice, and any contractual time period or deadline under this Agreement to which such Agreement Dispute relates occurring after the Dispute Notice is received shall not be deemed to have passed until such Agreement Dispute has been resolved.

Section 9.2  Arbitration .  If the Agreement Dispute has not been resolved for any reason after thirty (30) days have elapsed from the receipt by a Party thereto of a Dispute Notice, such Agreement Dispute shall be determined, at the request of any relevant Party, by arbitration conducted in New York City, before and in accordance with the then-existing Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“ AAA ”), except as modified herein (the “ Rules ”). There shall be three arbitrators. Each Party shall appoint one arbitrator within twenty (20) days of receipt by respondent of a copy of the demand for arbitration. The two Party-appointed arbitrators shall have twenty (20) days from the appointment of the second arbitrator to agree on a third arbitrator who shall chair the arbitral tribunal. Any arbitrator not timely appointed by the parties shall be appointed by the AAA in accordance with the listing, ranking and striking method in the Rules, and in any such procedure, each Party shall be given a limited number of strikes, excluding strikes for cause. Any controversy concerning whether an Agreement Dispute is an arbitrable Agreement Dispute, whether arbitration has been waived, whether an assignee of this Agreement is bound to arbitrate, or as to the interpretation of enforceability of this Article VIII shall be determined by the arbitrators. In resolving any Agreement Dispute, the parties intend that the arbitrators shall apply the substantive Laws of the State of New York, without regard to any choice of law principles thereof that would mandate the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. The parties intend that the provisions to arbitrate set forth herein be valid, enforceable and irrevocable, and any award rendered by the arbitrators shall be final and binding on the parties. The parties agree to comply and cause the members of their applicable group to comply with any award made in any such arbitration proceedings and agree to enforcement of or entry of judgment upon such award, in any court of competent jurisdiction, including (a) the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, or (b) the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The arbitrators shall be entitled, if appropriate, to award any remedy in such proceedings, including monetary damages, specific performance and all other forms of legal and equitable relief; provided , however, the arbitrators shall not be entitled to award punitive, exemplary, treble or any other form of non-compensatory damages unless in connection with indemnification for a Third Party Claim (and in such a case, only to the extent awarded in such Third Party Claim). Without limiting the provisions of the Rules, unless otherwise agreed in writing by or among the relevant parties or permitted by this Agreement, the relevant parties shall keep, and shall cause the members of their applicable group to keep, confidential all matters relating to the arbitration or the award, and any negotiations, conferences and discussions pursuant to this Article VIII shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations; provided , that such matters may be

47




disclosed (i) to the extent reasonably necessary in any proceeding brought to enforce the award or for entry of a judgment upon the award and (ii) to the extent otherwise required by Law or stock exchange. Nothing said or disclosed, nor any document produced, in the course of any negotiations, conferences and discussions that is not otherwise independently discoverable shall be offered or received as evidence or used for impeachment or for any other purpose in any current or future arbitration. Nothing contained herein is intended to or shall be construed to prevent either Party from applying to any court of competent jurisdiction for interim measures or other provisional relief in connection with the subject matter of any Agreement Disputes. Without prejudice to such provisional remedies as may be available under the jurisdiction of a court, the arbitral tribunal shall have full authority to grant provisional remedies and to direct the parties to request that any court modify or vacate any temporary or preliminary relief issued by such court, and to award damages for the failure of either Party to respect the arbitral tribunal’s orders to that effect.

Section 9.3  Confidentiality Arbitration Proceedings .  Except to the extent necessary in connection with arbitration of any Dispute under this Agreement, a court challenge to the arbitration contemplated by Section 9.1 hereof or for enforcement of an arbitral award, information concerning (i) the existence of an arbitration pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, (ii) any documentary or other evidence given by a Party or a witness in the arbitration and (iii) the arbitration award may not be disclosed by the tribunal administrator, the arbitrators, either Party or its counsel to any Person or entity not connected with the proceeding unless required by law or by a court or competent regulatory body, and then only to the extent of disclosing what is legally required.  A Party filing any document arising out of or relating to any arbitration in court shall seek from the court confidential treatment for such document.

Section 10.2  Binding Nature of Agreement .  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto or their successors in interest, except as expressly otherwise provided herein. If the outstanding Common Stock is converted into or exchanged or substituted for other securities issued by any other Person, as a condition to the effectiveness of the merger, consolidation, reclassification, share exchange or other transaction pursuant to which such conversion, exchange, substitution or other transaction takes place, such other Person shall automatically become bound hereby with respect to such other securities constituting Registrable Securities and, if requested by Travelport or a permitted Transferee, shall further evidence such obligation by executing and delivering to Travelport and such Transferee a written agreement to such effect in form and substance satisfactory to Travelport.

Section 10.3  Descriptive Headings .  The descriptive headings of the several articles and sections of this Agreement are inserted for reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

Section 10.4  Remedies .  Without limiting the rights of each Party hereto to pursue any and all other legal and equitable rights available to such Party for the other parties’ failure to perform their obligations under this Agreement, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the remedy at law for any failure to perform their obligations hereunder would be inadequate and that each of them, respectively, shall be entitled to specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies in the event of any such failure.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, OWW acknowledges and agrees that (a) its covenants and obligations hereunder are special, unique and relate to matters of extraordinary importance to Travelport, that in the event OWW fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its obligations under this agreement, Travelport will be irreparably harmed and that no remedy at law will provide adequate relief to Travelport and (b) Travelport shall be entitled to a temporary restraining order and temporary and permanent injunctive and other equitable relief in case of any failure by OWW to perform, observe or discharge any of its covenants or obligations hereunder and without the necessity of proving actual damages.  The remedies provided herein shall be cumulative and shall not preclude assertion by either Party hereto of any other rights or the seeking of any other remedies, either legal or equitable, against the other Party hereto.

Section 10.5  Governing Law .  This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights and duties of the parties shall be governed by, the laws of the State of New York without regard to the principles of conflicts of law other than Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York.

49




Section 10.6  Counterparts .  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but both of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 10.7  Severability .  In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstances, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not be in any way impaired thereby, it being intended that all of the rights and privileges of the parties hereto shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.  To the extent that any such provision is so held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, Travelport and OWW shall in good faith use their best efforts to find and effect an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such provision.

Section 10.8  Confidential Information .

(a)           Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, for a period of five (5) years from the date hereof the Parties shall hold, and shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to hold, and shall each cause their respective officers, employees, agents, consultants and advisors to hold, in strict confidence, and not to disclose or release or use, without the prior written consent of the other Party, any and all Confidential Information (as defined herein) concerning the other Party; provided , that the Parties may disclose, or may permit disclosure of, Confidential Information (i) to their respective auditors, attorneys, financial advisors, bankers and other appropriate consultants and advisors who have a need to know such information and are informed of their obligation to hold such information confidential to the same extent as is applicable to the Parties and in respect of whose failure to comply with such obligations, the applicable Party will be responsible, (ii) if the Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries are required or compelled to disclose any such Confidential Information by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of law or stock exchange rule, (iii) as required in connection with any legal or other proceeding between the Parties, (iv) as necessary in order to permit a Party or its Affiliates to prepare and disclose their financial statements, tax returns or other required disclosures, (v) in connection with arbitration of any arbitration pursuant to Section 9.3 , (vi) if such information otherwise becomes generally available to the public (other than through the Party which is holding such Confidential Information in confidence) or (vii) information relating to or disclosed in the IPO S-1.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any demand or request for disclosure of Confidential Information is made pursuant to clause (ii) above, each Party, as applicable, shall promptly notify the other of the existence of such request or demand and shall provide the other a reasonable opportunity to seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy, which such Party will cooperate in obtaining. In the event that such appropriate protective order or other remedy is not obtained, the Party whose Confidential Information is required to be disclosed shall or shall cause the other Party to furnish, or cause to be furnished, only that portion of the Confidential Information that is legally required to be disclosed and shall take commercially reasonable steps to ensure that confidential treatment is accorded such information.

(b)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (i) the Parties shall be deemed to have satisfied their obligations hereunder with respect to Confidential Information

50




if they exercise the same degree of care (but no less than a reasonable degree of care) as they take to preserve confidentiality for their own similar information and (ii) confidentiality obligations provided for in any agreement between each Party or its Subsidiaries and their respective employees shall remain in full force and effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Confidential Information of either Party rightfully in the possession of and used by the other Party in the operation of its business as of the date hereof may continue to be used by such Party in possession of the Confidential Information in and only in the operation of such business; provided , that such use is not competitive in nature (except as permitted or provided to the contrary in the Ancillary Agreements, the Continuing Agreements or any other agreements among the Parties or their Affiliates), and may be used only so long as the Confidential Information is maintained in confidence and not disclosed in violation of Section 10.8(a) , except that Confidential Information may be disclosed to third parties other than those listed in Section 10.8(a) , provided that such disclosure to such other third parties and any associated use of such information must be pursuant to a written agreement containing confidentiality obligations at least as protective of the Parties’ rights to Confidential Information as those contained in this Agreement. Such continued right to use may not be transferred (directly or indirectly) to any third party without the prior written consent of the applicable Party, except pursuant to Section 10.11 .

(c)           Each Party acknowledges that it and the other members of their respective Affiliated Groups may have in their possession confidential or proprietary information of third parties that was received under confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements with such third party prior to the date hereof. Each Party will hold, and will cause the other members of their respective Affiliated Groups and their respective representatives to hold, in strict confidence the confidential and proprietary information of third parties to which they or any other member of their respective Affiliated Groups has access, in accordance with the terms of any agreements entered into prior to the date hereof between either Party or any other member of their respective Affiliated Groups and such third parties.

(d)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.8 , information that is subject to provisions contained in any other agreement between the Parties (or members of their respective Affiliated Groups) shall be governed by the provisions of such other agreement rather than this Section 10.8 .

Section 10.9  Amendment and Modification .  Subject to applicable law, this Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented only by written agreement executed by the parties hereto.

Section 10.10  Entire Agreement .  This Agreement, including any schedules or exhibits annexed hereto, the Ancillary Agreements and the Continuing Agreements embody the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the Transactions, and shall supersede all previous negotiations, commitments and writings with respect to such subject matter.  There are no restrictions, promises, representations, warranties, covenants or undertakings, other than those expressly set forth or referred to herein.  In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and any schedule hereto, the schedule shall prevail. In the event and to the extent that there shall be a conflict between the provisions of this Agreement

51




and the provisions of any Ancillary Agreement or Continuing Agreement, such Ancillary Agreement or Continuing Agreement shall control, except if otherwise provided therein.

Section 10.11  Assignment .

(a)           Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, and subject to Section 10.11(b) , neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations of either Party hereto may be assigned by such Party without the prior written consent of the other Party; provided, however, that all or part of this Agreement may be assigned by Travelport to other members of the Travelport Affiliated Group without the prior consent of OWW.

(b)          Notwithstanding Section 10.11(a) or anything else in this Agreement, Travelport may assign (in whole or in part) the rights, interests or obligations provided for herein in connection with a merger transaction or the sale by Travelport of all or substantially all of its Assets or other change of control; provided , that the surviving entity of such merger or the transferee of such Assets shall agree in writing, reasonably satisfactory to OWW, to be bound by the terms of this Agreement as if named as a “Party” hereto.

(c)           Any assignment or other disposition in violation of this Section 10.11 shall be void. Nothing in this Section 10.11 shall affect the ability of either Party to terminate this Agreement.

Section 10.12  Recapitalization, Dilution Adjustments, etc .  In the event that any capital stock or other securities are issued in respect of, in exchange for, or in substitution of, any shares of Common Stock by reason of any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, spin-off, partial or complete liquidation, stock dividend, split-up, sale of Assets, distribution to stockholders or combination of the shares of Common Stock then, in each such case, appropriate adjustments shall be made so as to fairly and equitably preserve, as far as practicable, the original rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement.

Section 10.13  Other Agreements .  In connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the agreements listed on Schedule 2.5 and Schedule 10.13 hereto describe all of the agreements, identified as of the date hereof, between members of the Travelport Affiliated Group and the OWW Affiliated Group in effect as of the date hereof. The parties hereto agree to review such Continuing Agreements and Ancillary Agreements, review and identify any other relevant intercompany agreements and to cooperate to take such further action as may be necessary for the termination, alteration or amendment of such agreements in order for such agreements to be consistent with, and to provide for, the implementation of the Transactions consistent with this Agreement.

Section 10.14  Further Actions .  Each Party hereto shall, on notice of request from any other Party hereto, take such further action not specifically required hereby at the expense of the requesting Party, as the requesting Party may reasonably request for the implementation of the Transactions.

Section 10.15  No Third Party Beneficiaries . Nothing in this Agreement shall convey any rights upon any Person or entity which is not a Party or a permitted assignee of a Party to this Agreement.

52




Section 10.16  Drafting of Language .  Each of Travelport and OWW agrees that the drafting of the language contained in this Agreement was a cooperative effort, that each Party was equally responsible for such drafting and that it would be inequitable for either Party to be deemed the “drafter” of any specific language contained herein pursuant to any judicial doctrine or presumption relating thereto.

Section 10.17  No Circumvention .  The Parties agree not to directly or indirectly take any actions, act in concert with any Person who takes an action, or cause or allow any member of any such Party’s Affiliated Group to take any actions (including the failure to take a reasonable action) such that the resulting effect is to materially undermine the effectiveness of any of the provisions of this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any Continuing Agreement (including adversely affecting the rights or ability of either Party to successfully pursue indemnification, contribution or payment pursuant to Article VI ).

This Transition Services Agreement (this “ Agreement ”) is by and between Travelport Inc., a Delaware corporation formerly known as B2B Newco, Inc. (“ Travelport ”), and Orbitz Worldwide, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ OWW ”).  Each of Travelport and OWW is sometimes referred to herein as a “ Party ” and, collectively, as the “ Parties .”  Defined terms used in this Agreement have the meanings ascribed to them by definition in this Agreement or in Section 10.18 .

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Parties are wholly owned Subsidiaries of Travelport Limited, a Bermuda company f/k/a TDS Investor (Bermuda) Ltd. (“ Travelport Limited ”); and

WHEREAS, the board of directors of Travelport engaged in a reorganization of the businesses of Travelport into two distinct and separate groups, business-to-business and business-to-consumer, in February, 2007 (the “ Reorganization ”), pursuant to which each Party agreed to provide to the other Party and their respective Subsidiaries, as applicable, certain transitional, administrative and support services on the terms set forth in a Master Services Agreement between Travelport and TAI, a wholly-owned Subsidiary of OWW, dated as of February 8, 2007 (the “ Master Services Agreement ”);

WHEREAS, the Parties have agreed to terminate the Master Services Agreement as of the date hereof, and to enter into this Agreement in its place; and

WHEREAS, the board of directors of Travelport has determined that it is appropriate, desirable and in the best interests of Travelport and its stockholders to offer for sale a certain percentage of the Common Stock of OWW in a registered public offering, which will be the initial public offering of OWW common stock to the public, on or about July 25, 2007 (the “ IPO ”);

ARTICLE I

SERVICES

Section 1.1                                       Provision of Services .

(a)                                           Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Party, as Service Provider, agrees to provide (or cause one of its Subsidiaries to provide) to the other Party (or to one of its Subsidiaries), as Service Recipient, in each case as applicable, those services described in the exhibits attached hereto (each, together with supplementary schedules attached thereto, an “ Exhibit ”, and each numbered service listed on such Exhibit, together with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any applicable supplementary schedule to such Exhibit, a “ Services Agreement ”), each on and pursuant to the terms set forth therein (together, with the Additional Services (as defined in Section 1.2 ), the “ Services ”).

(b)                                          Nothing herein shall prohibit, modify or limit Travelport’s ability to transfer or allocate assets and liabilities, as the case may be, to any entity in connection with, or in contemplation of, the Reorganization or the IPO or otherwise; to the extent that any such transfer or allocation results in a change the reasonable effect of which is for one Party to become the Service Provider and/or Service Recipient to any Services Agreement, then the Parties shall make such amendments, revisions or modifications to the Exhibits as are reasonably necessary to reflect the appropriate Service Provider and/or Service Recipient as the case may be.

Section 1.2                                       Additional Services . From time to time during the Service Term (as defined in Section 1.4 ), the Service Recipient may find it desirable to request, in addition to the Services described in the applicable Exhibits, additional services to be made available to such Service Recipient by the Service Provider, provided that such Services are of a type generally provided by such Service Provider (or, if the capacity to provide such Services is transferred to a Subsidiary of such Service Provider (as described in Section 10.2 hereof), by a Subsidiary of such Service Provider) prior to the date hereof (“ Additional Services ”).  In the event that the Service Recipient makes a written request that the Service Provider provide Additional Services and such Service Provider agrees to provide such Additional Services, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith and execute amendments to the relevant Exhibits for such Additional Services that shall set forth, among other things, (a) the time period during which the Additional Services shall be provided, (b) a description of the Additional Services, and (c) the estimated charge for the Additional Services.  The Service Provider’s obligations with respect to providing any such Additional Services shall become effective only upon an amendment to the relevant Exhibits being duly executed and delivered by the Service Provider and the Service Recipient.  It is understood that, subject to Section 1.3 , the Service Provider has no obligation to provide Additional Services and may reject any request by any Service Recipient for Additional Services for any reason or for no reason.

Section 1.3                                       Obligations as to Additional Services; Transition and Migration Assistance .

(a)                                   Upon request by the Service Recipient, the Service Provider agrees to enter into discussions with the Service Recipient to provide any Additional Services that (i) (1) are directly dependent upon or inextricably intertwined with the Services and (2) were inadvertently and unintentionally omitted from the list of Services, or (ii) comprise transition or migration assistance from a Service by such Service Provider to the successor service thereto; provided , however, that the Service Provider shall not be obligated to provide such Additional Services to the extent such Services are otherwise provided for in any agreements between the Parties or if, following good-faith negotiation, the Parties are unable to reach agreement on terms for such Additional Services.

(b)                                  Notwithstanding the foregoing in Section 1.2 and Section 1.3(a) , to the extent that the Service Recipient requests transition or migration assistance (i) that is directly related to a Service being provided by a Service Provider and (ii) for which the Service Provider is the only reasonably available source of knowledge or expertise relating to such transition and migration assistance, and to the extent such transition or migration assistance is not otherwise provided for in any agreements between the Parties, then the Service Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such transition and migration assistance. The Service Provider and Service Recipient shall mutually determine in good faith the timeline and scope for such assistance, in light of the Service Recipient’s requirements and business risk associated with disruptions in services, and the Service Provider’s resource constraints and reasonable competing demands for use of such resources. The Service Provider and Service Recipient shall mutually agree on a budget for such assistance, which assistance shall be provided at actual cost through March 31, 2008.

(c)                                   The Parties agree and acknowledge that any other transition or similar assistance that may be provided by a Party or its Affiliates to the other Party or its Affiliates (but is not described in an Exhibit hereto and is not otherwise agreed to in writing pursuant to Section 1.2 or Section 1.3(a) ) in connection with the Reorganization or the IPO shall be deemed to be provided under this Agreement as Services (and therefore subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the exclusions of, and limitations on, liability), unless the Parties expressly agree in writing that such other transition or similar assistance is not governed by this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not require any Party to provide any transition or similar assistance that is not otherwise required under this Agreement.

Section 1.4                                       Term of Services Agreements. Subject to Section 9.1 and Section 9.2 , the term of each Services Agreement shall expire on March 31, 2008 (the “ Service Term ”), unless otherwise specified on the Exhibits hereto.  The term of any Services Agreement may be extended by mutual written consent of the Parties at any time but no later than ninety (90) days before the expiration of such Services Agreement.  The Parties shall agree upon a new expiration date for such Services Agreement at the date of such extension, which date may be further extended thereafter by mutual written consent

3




of the Parties at any time but no later than ninety (90) days before the revised expiration date of such amended Services Agreement.  Any extension of a Services Agreement (i) shall be subject to restrictions of third party licensors or providers, including those restrictions contained in Section 1.5 and Section 2.4, or in any Third Party Agreement made pursuant to this Agreement and such Services Agreement, and (ii) notwithstanding Section 1.8, may be subject to an increase in compensation and other payments after March 31, 2008, as agreed upon by the Parties at the date of such extension.

Section 1.5                                       Subcontracting of Services .

(a)                                           The Service Recipient acknowledges that the Service Provider may have subcontracted and may in the future, at Service Provider’s discretion and at any time, subcontract with unaffiliated third parties to provide services in connection with all or any portion of the Services to be provided under a Services Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Service Recipient acknowledges that all Services will be provided in accordance with the terms of Service Provider’s Third Party Agreements used in connection with such Services, subject to Section 1.6 .  Service Recipient shall comply with all terms and conditions of all such Third Party Agreements that exist as of the date hereof and entered into by the Service Provider for the provision of Services after the date hereof, and any new terms and conditions of all such agreements of which Service Provider notifies Service Recipient after the date hereof; provided , that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in a Services Agreement, to the extent that Service Recipient does not comply with any such terms and conditions, Service Provider may decline to provide all or the applicable part of the particular Services with which such Third Party Agreement is used, without liability.

(b)                                          If any of the Service Provider’s Third Party Agreements used in connection with a Service expire or terminate, the Service Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to either (a) renew such agreement on substantially the same terms and conditions for the term of the applicable Service if commercially reasonable, or (b) enter into a comparable new agreement with an alternative subcontractor for the term of the applicable Service if commercially reasonable.  If such agreement or a comparable new agreement are not available on commercially reasonable terms, then the Service Provider will promptly notify the Service Recipient, and both parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to reach a mutually agreed solution; provided , however, that (i) in the event that such non-renewal or new agreement occurs through no fault of Service Provider or its Subsidiaries, any additional costs, to the extent these costs exceed the amount payable to Service Provider for such Services pursuant to the agreement that is being replaced, shall be the sole responsibility of Service Recipient, and (ii) in the event that such non-renewal or new agreement occurs due to any breach by Service Provider or its Subsidiaries of its agreements with any of its third party contractors or outsourcers, any additional costs, to the extent these costs exceed the amount payable to Service Provider for Services pursuant to the agreement that is being replaced, shall be the sole responsibility of Service Provider.

Section 1.6                                       Standard of Service .

(a)                                           The Service Provider agrees that in providing (or causing others to provide) the Services under such Services Agreement, it shall (and shall cause each Subsidiary or advisor and, to the extent practicable, any other third party service provider to): (i) conduct itself in accordance with standards of service (including quality) no less than the then-current standards applied by Service Provider hereafter with respect to the specific matters in question in its own business, but in no event less than the standards of service applied for the Service Recipient immediately prior to the date hereof with respect to the specific matters in question and (ii) comply in all material respects with any applicable standards, procedures, policies, operating guidelines, practices and instructions specifically set forth in the Exhibits describing the relevant Services.  In the event of a conflict between Section 1.6(a)(i) and Section 1.6(a)(ii) , the standards of Section 1.6(a)(ii) shall govern.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall not be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement if one Party to a Services Agreement fails to meet the standards required under this Section 1.6 because of the failure of the other Party to such Services Agreement to cooperate with or provide information or services to such Party as required under such Services Agreement.

(b)                                          Each Party to a Services Agreement agrees that in providing or receiving Services under such Services Agreement, it shall (and shall cause each Subsidiary or advisor and, to the extent practicable, any other third party service provider to) comply with all laws, regulations and orders applicable to the conduct of the activities contemplated hereby.

Section 1.7                                       Right to Decline Services . Notwithstanding anything contained in a Services Agreement, a Party to a Services Agreement may decline to provide all or any part of any particular Services, if such Party reasonably believes that the performance of its obligations relating thereto would violate (i) any applicable law, regulation, judicial or administrative ruling or decision applicable to its business or property or (ii) any Third Party Agreement (including any license held by a Service Provider) existing as of the date hereof, but only (a) to the extent reasonably necessary for such Party to ensure compliance therewith, (b) after such Party has applied commercially reasonable efforts to reduce the amount and/or effect of any such restrictions (provided that this clause (b) shall not cause or require such Party to violate any Third Party Agreement, including any license held by a Service Provider) and (c) after such Party has delivered written notice to the other Party to such Services Agreement specifying in reasonable detail the nature of the applicable restrictions and of any proposed modification in such Party’s obligations.

Section 1.8                                       Compensation and Other Payments .

(a)                                           Subject to Section 1.10 , and except as provided on Exhibit A or Exhibit B hereto, for any Services provided through March 31, 2008, the Service Recipient agrees to pay the Service Provider to such Services Agreement (or, if the Service Provider so directs, to a Subsidiary of the Service Provider) in accordance with Section 1.12 , an amount equal to the sum of the following items:

5




(i)                                                                         an amount in cash equal to such Service Recipient’s proportionate share (based on actual usage/consumption) of the aggregate cost incurred by the Service Provider in providing such Service, except as otherwise provided in the relevant Exhibit; and

(ii)                                                                      if applicable, the charge for any Additional Services provided by the Service Provider pursuant to Section 1.2 .

(b)                                          The Service Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Service Recipient with thirty (30) days’ advance notice (or, if such thirty (30) days’ advance notice is not practicable under the circumstances, as soon as reasonably practicable) of all increases in costs for any Services; provided, that Service Provider’s failure to provide any such notice shall not relieve the Service Recipient of its responsibility for such costs.

(c)                                           Notwithstanding Section 1.8(c) , if the Service Provider reasonably believes that it cannot provide the Services to the Service Recipient without making an expenditure that is subject to Section 1.8(c) , then the Service Provider supplying the Service shall so notify the Service Recipient in writing. Such notification shall include a specific description of the known material benefits and consequences of both consenting to or rejecting such expenditure, including the extent to which Services could not be provided to such Service Recipient without such expenditure. If more than one Service Recipient receives Services that will benefit from such expenditure, then the Service Provider shall include in such notice: (i) the portion of such expenditure that such Service Recipient would be obligated to pay and (ii) to the extent such Services are reasonably providable to the Service Recipient without such expenditure, a good faith estimate of the incremental costs of providing such Services to such Service Recipient without such expenditure. Within thirty (30) days after the Service Recipient receives such written notification from Service Provider, the Service Recipient shall either consent to (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) or reject the proposed expenditure; provided , that failure to consent to or reject the proposed expenditure within such time period shall be deemed a consent to the proposed expenditure. In the event of any such rejection: (1) such rejection shall also be deemed a rejection of the Services corresponding to such expenditure (to the extent not reasonably providable without such expenditure) with no obligation of or liability to the Service Provider with respect thereto, and (2) to the extent any such corresponding Services are reasonably providable without such expenditure, such Service Recipient shall be responsible for all incremental costs of providing such Services to such Service Recipient without such expenditure.

Section 1.9                                       Employee Severance Costs . Upon the termination of employment of any of the corporate or shared services employees providing Services under any one or more Services Agreements, where such termination is primarily due to the termination or reduction of the Services which such employee was supporting, the Service Recipient to such Services Agreement(s) shall reimburse the Service Provider for a portion of the severance costs associated with such employee’s termination of

6




employment (excluding the cost of any long term incentive programs (“ LTIPs ”)) (the “ Employee Severance Cost ”), or otherwise in proportion to such employee’s time allocable to the benefit received by such Service Recipient, as determined by the Service Provider utilizing a good faith analysis (a) in accordance with the Service Provider’s historical methodology for assessing and allocating similar expenses among its Subsidiaries, or if there is no such historical methodology for such Services, then (b) in accordance with the methodology used to determine the pricing in the applicable Exhibit determined by Service Provider.  Except as set forth in this Section 1.9 , the Service Provider will be responsible for its own employee severance costs; such severance costs will not be included for purposes of any “true up” pursuant to Section 1.10 .

Section 1.10                                 Annual Compensation True-Up .

(a)                                           With respect to each Services Agreement, the Service Provider under such Services Agreement shall deliver to the Service Recipient under such Services Agreement a cost adjustment report within ninety (90) days after the end of each calendar year (including calendar year 2007) during the Service Term (except that, upon expiration or termination of the last of any Services Agreements between any Service Provider and any Service Recipient, such cost adjustment report shall be delivered within ninety (90) days after the expiration or termination date of such last Services Agreement, rather than within ninety (90) days after the end of the calendar year in which such expiration or termination occurs).  Such cost adjustment report shall specify (i) the total charges incurred by the Service Recipient during such calendar year under such Services Agreement, as determined by the fees and other charges set forth in the applicable Exhibit; (ii) the Service Provider’s Costs for the Services provided to the Service Recipient (and/or its Subsidiaries) under such Services Agreement during such calendar year, together with a reasonably specific itemization of such Costs; and (iii) the “ Adjustment Amount ”, which is defined as the aggregate Costs incurred by the Service Provider to provide such Services (as described in (ii) above) less the aggregate fees and other charges calculated in accordance with the applicable Services Agreement (as described in (i) above), excluding for all purposes any costs to obtain any consents, licenses and other agreements that are allocated pursuant to Section 2.4(a) and any non-cash costs or charges (e.g., amounts charged in respect of LTIPs).  If the Adjustment Amount is positive, then the Service Provider shall include an invoice with such report for such Adjustment Amount, which amount shall be due and payable within thirty (30) days after receipt of such invoice, as well as subject to contention in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.12 .  If the Adjustment Amount is negative, then the Service Provider shall credit the Service Recipient for the Adjustment Amount against the next payment(s) due to the Service Provider by the Service Recipient under such Services Agreement, and to the extent any such Services are no longer being provided, the Service Provider shall remit payment for such negative amount to the Service Recipient together with the cost adjustment report.

(b)                                          Cost ” means, with respect to any Services, the actual cost incurred by the Service Provider in connection with the provision of such Services under the applicable Services Agreement, excluding for all purposes any non-cash costs or charges (e.g., amounts charged in respect of LTIPs); more specifically, “ Cost ” shall

7




equal the sum (without duplication) of: (i) all actual out-of-pocket costs paid by the Service Provider and its Subsidiaries to third parties (other than any Subsidiaries of the Service Provider) with respect to such Services; and (ii) all direct costs incurred by the Service Provider and its Subsidiaries in providing such Services (including the portion of any costs allocable only in part to the Services provided to the Service Recipient and its Subsidiaries); provided , however, that with respect to travel expenses incurred by the Service Provider in connection with providing Services, the Costs with respect to such travel expenses shall be incurred in conformity with Travelport’s travel policy as in effect on the date hereof.

(c)                                           Notwithstanding any of the foregoing in this Section 1.10 , this Section 1.10 shall not apply to (i) employee termination costs and expenses, which are covered by Section 1.9 or (ii) any Additional Services under any Services Agreement, unless the applicable Exhibit for such Services Agreement specifically makes such Additional Services subject to this “true up” provision.

Section 1.11                                 Cost-Effective Provision of Services . The Service Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) utilize resources and otherwise provide the Services in a cost-effective manner and to otherwise minimize expenses, and (ii) minimize any Transition Costs and Unrecovered Costs.  Without limiting the foregoing, as the volume of any Services is reduced by any Service Recipient under any Services Agreement or as any portion of any Services under any Services Agreement is terminated or expires, the Service Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to reduce the Costs associated with providing the remaining Services, to the extent practicable.  Such efforts shall include, without limitation, the termination or reallocation of personnel, and the cancellation of leases for, or reallocation or sale of equipment and other resources that had previously been allocated to providing the terminated or reduced Services, without materially adversely effecting the standard of service to be provided for the remaining Services as required pursuant to Section 1.6 or any other services provided by such Service Provider; provided , however, that such Service Provider shall not be required to terminate the employment of, or reallocate, any employee, if it does not charge the other Party for the costs of employing such employee or will not do so following such reduction in Services.

Section 1.12                                 Billing and Payment Terms .

(a)                                           The payor Party under a Services Agreement (or, if applicable, its Subsidiary) agrees to pay the payee Party, or if such payee Party so directs, a Subsidiary of such payee Party, in accordance with, and subject to, the billing and payment terms set forth in such Services Agreement.  On the first day of each month following the effective date of a Services Agreement the payee Party to such Services Agreement shall provide the payor Party to such Services Agreement with one invoice detailing the charges for all amounts due by such payor Party to such payee Party under all Services Agreements entered into among such Parties and each Party shall pay such invoices within thirty (30) days after receipt of such invoice.  Amounts not paid in accordance with this Section 1.12(a) within thirty (30) days after receipt of such invoice shall accumulate interest at a rate per annum equal to the then-applicable

8




Prime Rate plus one percent (1%) (or the maximum legal rate, whichever is lower) (such rate being referred to herein as the “ Interest Rate ”) from the 31 st  day following receipt of such invoice to but excluding the date on which amounts due are paid.

(b)                                          In the event the payor Party to a Services Agreement does not pay any sum, or any part thereof, in accordance with Section 1.10(a) , the payee Party to such Services Agreement shall, effective thirty (30) days following the delivery of written notice to such payor Party of such payment default, have no further obligation pursuant to this Agreement to provide Services to such payor Party until such unpaid balance plus all accrued and unpaid interest at the applicable Interest Rate shall have been paid.

(c)                                           The payor Party shall promptly notify the payee Party in writing of any amounts billed to it that are in dispute; provided , that no such dispute and notice shall relieve such payor Party from paying, nor may such payor Party withhold, any amounts owed to the payee Party pursuant to Section 1.12(a) ; except that the payor Party may withhold payments for third party pass-through charges, solely to the extent permitted by the applicable Third Party Agreement, upon notice to the payee Party.  (Similarly, the payee Party shall continue to perform its obligations that are in dispute (including the provision of Services), pursuant to Section 10.7 , but subject to Section 1.12(b) .)  Upon receipt of such notice, the payee Party will research the items in question in a reasonably prompt manner and cooperate to resolve any differences with such payor Party.  In the event that the Parties mutually agree that any amount that was paid by such payor Party was not properly owed, the payee Party will refund that amount plus Interest (accumulating from the original due date for such amount) to such payor Party within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice (or, alternatively, the payee Party may deduct the dollar amount from the next invoice submitted to such payor Party).  In the event agreement is not reached by the Parties within thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice referred to above, the matter shall be referred to resolution in accordance with Section 10.7 .

Section 1.13                                 Interruption of Services . Except as otherwise provided herein, the Service Provider, will use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide uninterrupted Services to the Service Recipient through the Service Term.  In the event, however, that (x) any such Service Provider, or its respective suppliers or subcontractors are wholly or partially prevented from providing a Service or Services to the Service Recipient or if a Service or Services are interrupted or suspended, in either case by reason of any force majeure event set forth in Section 10.1 , (y) the Service Provider shall deem it reasonably necessary to suspend delivery of a Service hereunder for purposes of maintenance, repair or replacement of equipment parts or structures, or (z) to the extent that the Service Provider relies on a third party for products or services in connection with any such Services and the third party ceases to perform its obligations, the Service Provider shall not be obligated to deliver such Service during such periods; provided , that the Service Provider: (i) has given, whenever possible, reasonable written notice of the interruption in accordance with Section 10.6 within a reasonable period of time, explaining the reason, purpose and likely duration thereof; and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the duration and impact of the interruption.  If such

9




interruption of Services has a more than minimal negative impact on any material aspect of the Service Recipient’s business and the Service Provider cannot readily and materially reinstate the Service involved, such Service Provider will use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Service Recipient in securing alternative services to try to minimize such negative impact on such Service Recipient.  Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party under a Services Agreement of any event or circumstance of which such Party or any of its representatives has knowledge that would or would be reasonably likely to cause a disruption in any Services under such Services Agreement.

Section 1.14                                 Supervision and Compensation; Independent Contractor . The Service Provider, shall select, employ, pay, supervise, direct and discharge all the personnel providing Services for it under such Services Agreement.  Each such Service Provider shall be solely responsible for the payment of all benefits and any other direct and indirect compensation for personnel assigned to perform Services on its behalf under this Agreement, as well as such personnel’s worker’s compensation insurance, employment taxes, and other employer liabilities relating to such personnel as required by law.  The personnel employed by the Service Provider to provide Services shall be considered independent contractors with respect to the Service Recipient in connection with the performance of Services hereunder.  The employees of the Service Provider performing Services in connection herewith shall not be deemed to be employees of the Service Recipient.  No joint venture, partnership or other relationship shall be created or implied by this Agreement.

Section 1.15                                 Staffing of Personnel . Each Service Provider shall be solely responsible for assigning reasonably competent personnel to perform the Services for it under such Services Agreement, which personnel will be instructed by such Service Provider to perform Services in a timely, efficient and workmanlike manner.

ARTICLE V

CONFIDENTIALITY

Section 5.1                                       Confidential Information .

(a)                                           Each Party may from time to time disclose Confidential Information to the other Party (both orally and in writing) to the extent necessary to carry out their obligations or exercise their rights under this Agreement and the Exhibits, including with respect to Services.

(b)                                          Each receiving Party agrees to treat all Confidential Information provided by any disclosing Party pursuant to this Agreement and any Exhibits as proprietary and confidential to the disclosing Party, and the receiving Party shall not (without the prior written consent of the disclosing Party) disclose or permit disclosure of such Confidential Information to any third party; provided , that the receiving Party may disclose, on a need-to-know basis, such Confidential Information to (i) its third party subcontractors or to its Subsidiaries who have signed non-disclosure agreements with the receiving Party that are at least as protective as the terms set forth herein (for purposes of this Section 5.1(b) a confidentiality term of at least five years is sufficient), and/or (ii) its current employees, officers, or directors, or legal or financial representatives.  For the avoidance of doubt, non-disclosure agreements in effect prior to the date of commencement of Services under any Services Agreement are not required to be amended to comply with the foregoing sentence, notwithstanding that Confidential Information may be disclosed pursuant to such non-disclosure agreement after the date of commencement of Services under such Services Agreement.  The receiving Party agrees to safeguard all Confidential Information of the disclosing Party with at least the same degree of care (which in no event shall be less than reasonable care) as the receiving Party uses to protect its own Confidential Information.  The receiving Party shall use the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information solely for the purpose of fulfilling its obligations and exercise its rights under this Agreement and the Exhibits.  The receiving Party further agrees not to use or disclose the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information for its own benefit or for the benefit of others, except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement, the Exhibits, or the disclosing Party in writing.

(c)                                           Notwithstanding this Section 5.1 , the Parties acknowledge and agree that the information shall not be deemed Confidential Information, and the receiving Party shall have no confidentiality, non-use or nondisclosure obligation with respect to any such information to the extent that it is:  (i) independently developed by the receiving Party without the use of any Confidential Information and any breach of this Agreement by the receiving Party, as established by documentary evidence; (ii) in the public domain by no fault or wrongful act of the receiving Party; (iii) with respect to Confidential Information that is disclosed by the disclosing Party after the date of commencement of Services under any Services Agreement but not any Confidential Information of the disclosing Party disclosed to the receiving Party on or before such date, known by the receiving Party prior to disclosure by the disclosing Party, as

15




established by documentary evidence; (iv) disclosed to the receiving Party by a third party who was not under a similar restriction or obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing Party, and without breach of this Agreement; or (v) approved for release by written authorization of the disclosing Party and the third party owner of the disclosed information; provided , that other documentation ( e.g., taped, transcribed or click stream data) shall constitute written authorization of a third party owner for purposes hereof.  The Parties further acknowledge and agree that Confidential Information may be disclosed pursuant to the lawful requirement or order of a court or governmental agency; provided , that upon the receiving Party’s request for such a disclosure, the receiving Party gives prompt written notice thereof to the disclosing Party (unless such notice is not possible under the circumstances, and in such event, such notice shall be provided as promptly as possible thereafter) so that the disclosing Party may have the opportunity to intervene and contest such disclosure and/or seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy.

(d)                                          The exceptions to Confidential Information set forth in Sections 5.1(c)(i)-(v) shall not apply to personally identifiable information accessed and/or held by either Party, unless the receiving Party can establish, by documentary evidence, that it lawfully received the same personally identifiable information independently from (i) the owner of such personally identifiable information, (ii) a person to whom such personally identifiable information relates or (iii) a party with the legal authority to provide such personally identifiable information to the receiving Party on behalf of such owner or person.  As between the receiving Party and the disclosing Party, the receiving Party shall bear all responsibility and liability for the receiving Party’s disclosure and all other uses of the personally identifiable information which the receiving Party receives (except to the extent that the receiving Party is acting with respect to such personally identifiable information, in accordance with the express directions of the disclosing Party, in which case the receiving Party’s responsibility and liability shall be determined in accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement).  To the extent that the Receiving Party becomes aware of any non-permitted transmittal or disclosure of Confidential Information, the receiving Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify the disclosing party of such non-permitted transmittal or disclosure of Confidential Information.

(e)                                           All Confidential Information transmitted or disclosed hereunder will be and remain the property of the disclosing Party, and the receiving Party shall (at the disclosing Party’s election) promptly destroy or return to the disclosing Party, as directed by the disclosing Party, any and all copies thereof upon Termination or expiration of this Agreement and/or the applicable Exhibit, or upon the written request of the disclosing Party, to the extent such destruction or return does not affect the ability of the receiving Party to perform any Services required hereunder; except , that (i) the receiving Party may elect to destroy rather than return copies of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information that are commingled or otherwise intertwined with other information not owned by the disclosing Party and not readily separable from such other information and (ii) the receiving Party is not obligated to return or destroy copies of Confidential Information that are required to be maintained by applicable law or regulation or such Party’s business management policies, or that

16




are unreasonably burdensome to separate out from other information for purposes of return or destruction (such as copies thereof commingled with other information in electronic mail archives); provided , that, for avoidance of doubt, the receiving Party is excused by this Section 5.1(e)(ii) only for so long as the applicable exception to return or destruction under this Section 5.1(e)(ii) applies, and any such Confidential Information that is maintained by the disclosing Party otherwise remains subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.1 .  Upon the request of the disclosing Party, the receiving Party shall certify any such destruction in writing.

(f)                                             Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit or prohibit the receiving Party from independently creating or developing (or having created or developed for it), or from acquiring from third parties, any information, products, concepts, systems, or techniques that are similar to or compete with the information, products, concepts, systems, or techniques contemplated by or embodied in the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information; provided , that (in connection with such creation, development, or acquisition) the receiving Party does not violate any of its obligations under this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing in this subsection (f), the receiving Party shall not, nor assist others to, disassemble, decompile, reverse engineer, or otherwise attempt to recreate, the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.

(g)                                          The Parties acknowledge and agree that, given the unique and proprietary nature of the Confidential Information, monetary damages may not be calculable or a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Section 5.1 by the receiving Party, and that the disclosing Party may suffer great and irreparable injury as a consequence of such breach.  Accordingly, each Party agrees that, in the event of such a breach or threatened breach, the disclosing Party shall be entitled to seek equitable relief (including, but not limited to, injunction and specific performance) in order to remedy such breach or threatened breach.  Such remedies shall not be deemed to be exclusive remedies for a breach by the receiving Party but shall be in addition to any and all other remedies provided hereunder or available at law or equity to the disclosing Party.

(h)                                          Each of the Parties shall be permitted to disclose the existence and terms of this Agreement and the Exhibits to which it or any of its Subsidiary is either providing or receiving Services in connection with a potential acquisition, disposition, financing or other strategic transaction involving the business or assets to which this Agreement relates; provided , that such disclosure is (i) made solely to those Persons having a reasonable need to know such information, and only to the extent reasonably necessary, for evaluation of such potential transaction, (ii) with respect to financial terms, not to a direct competitor of the other Party and excluding the amount any fees paid to any individual third party vendor, and (iii) subject to a written confidentiality agreement executed by the Person to whom, or on whose behalf, such information is disclosed and on terms and conditions no less protective of the confidentiality of such information than those contained herein (for purposes of this Section 5.1(h) a confidentiality term of at least five years is sufficient).  For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing Section 5.1(h) shall be subject to the terms and

 

17




conditions of any agreement between the disclosing Party and any third party that disclosed the applicable confidential information to such Party.

(ii)                                   Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including Section 5.2(a)(i) , and any applicable Third Party Agreements pursuant to which Service Recipient obtains rights to intellectual property and data, and except as expressly provided otherwise in a Services Agreement, the Service Recipient hereby grants, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, to the Service Provider and its Subsidiaries under such Services Agreement, a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to copy, display, perform, transmit, create derivative works from and otherwise modify, make, use and otherwise exploit, during the applicable Service Term, such intellectual property and data that is provided or otherwise made available by Service Recipient or its Subsidiaries to Service Provider and its Subsidiaries for performance of Service Provider’s and its Subsidiaries’ obligations under such Services Agreement.  The foregoing license grant is limited to use or other exploitation solely as reasonably necessary in connection with the performance of the Services under the applicable Services Schedule.

(iii)                                Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including Section 5.2(a)(i) , and any applicable Third Party Agreements pursuant to which the Service Provider obtains rights to intellectual property and data, and except as expressly provided otherwise in a Services Schedule, the Service Provider hereby grants, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, to the Service Recipient and its Subsidiaries, a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to copy, display, perform, transmit, create derivative works from and otherwise modify, make, use and otherwise exploit, during the applicable Service Term, Work Product and any other intellectual property and data that is provided or otherwise made available by Service Provider or its Subsidiaries to Service Recipient and its Subsidiaries for receipt and use of the Services or for performance of Service Recipient’s and its Subsidiaries’ obligations under this Agreement.  The foregoing license grant is limited to use or other exploitation solely as

18




reasonably necessary in connection with the receipt and use of the Services under the applicable Services Schedule.

(i)                                      Except for the ownership of Work Product and license grants made pursuant to Section 5.2(a) and except as expressly provided otherwise in a Services Schedule, each Party and its Subsidiaries will retain all right, title and interest in and to its technology and other intellectual property used in connection with the Services, including ownership of any technology or other intellectual property created by such Party or its Subsidiaries as the Service Provider in providing the Services.  Data generated or collected by Service Provider for the Service Recipient will be owned by the Service Recipient (other than Service Provider’s proprietary technical data used or generated in providing the Services that relate to the operation of the Service Provider’s infrastructure).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party and its Subsidiaries may independently create or acquire any intellectual property or data that is deemed by this Agreement to be owned by the other Party and its Subsidiaries hereunder; provided that such independent creation or acquisition does not reference or use the intellectual property or data of the other Party and its Subsidiaries, and such independent creation or acquisition does not breach any other obligations under this Agreement, including the obligations set forth in Section 5.1 regarding confidentiality.

(ii)                                   To the extent that any right, title or interest in or to any intellectual property or data vests in a Party or a Subsidiary thereof, by operation of law or otherwise, in a manner contrary to the agreed upon ownership as set forth in this Agreement, such Party shall or cause its Subsidiaries to, and hereby does, perpetually and irrevocably assign to the appropriate Party any and all such right, title and interest throughout the world in and to such intellectual property and data, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances.

(c)                           Residual Information .  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article V or in Section 2.5 , nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the Service Provider (and its Subsidiaries) under any Services Agreement from using any general information, ideas, concepts, know-how, techniques, programming routines and subroutines, methodologies, processes, skills, or expertise (collectively, “ Residual Information ”) which such Service Provider’s (and its Subsidiaries’) employees or contractors retain in their unaided memory and derive from the provision of the Services under such Services Agreement, and which are no more than skillful variations of general processes known to the computer data processing and/or information technology industries (and, as such, are neither proprietary, confidential, nor trade secret information); provided , however, that the Service Provider (including its Subsidiaries) under such Services Agreement does not breach its confidentiality obligations under Section 5.1 with respect to personally identifiable information.

(ii)                                                           the other Party makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, becomes insolvent, a receiver is appointed, or a court approves reorganization or arrangement proceedings.

(b)                          In the event of any Service Termination, in whole or in part, of any Service by the Service Provider pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(y) or Section 9.2 (b) or by the Service Recipient pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(y) , the Service Recipient shall pay to Service Provider (i) all reasonable Transition Costs as incurred and invoiced on a monthly basis, and (ii) shall continue to pay any Unrecovered Costs in accordance with the same payment schedule as such costs would have been paid if the applicable Services had continued to be provided until their intended expiration date.  Invoices for such charges shall be prepared in reasonable detail by the Service Provider and payment shall be due within thirty (30) days after receipt of such invoice.

(c)                           The Service Provider and the Service Recipient shall cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize Transition Costs and Unrecovered Costs that may arise under any Services Agreement and this Agreement (including, e.g ., by exercising early termination rights under vendor contracts where the total cost of early termination is less than continued payments under such contracts as contemplated for the remainder of the Service Term for such terminated Services).  To the extent that any Unrecovered Costs are incurred by Service Provider over the remaining Service Term for such Services (rather than at or about the time of the Termination or a Service Termination, as the case may be), but paid by Service Recipient prior to such time actually incurred by Service Provider, Service Recipient shall pay to Service Provider the net present value of such costs, at a mutually agreed to discount rate.

Section 9.4                                       Survival .  Expiration or termination of all or a portion of the Services for any reason shall not terminate the other obligations of the Parties hereunder, which shall survive any such Service Termination; provided , however, that as to any particular Services, this Agreement shall terminate as between the Service Provider and the Service Recipient listed on an Exhibit upon the end of the Service Term for such Services specified in the Exhibits; provided , further , that Section 4.2 , Article V , Article VI , Section 9.3 , Section 9.4 , Article X and any provisions of a Services Agreement that are specified therein as surviving, shall survive the Termination.  Subject to the foregoing, expiration or termination of the Services for any reason shall not terminate either Party’s obligation to pay any money owed under this Agreement up to or as a result of a Service Termination or obligations and rights arising out of any willful misconduct or gross negligence of either Party occurring prior to such Service Termination or expiration or, including the obligation to pay any money owed hereunder up to or as a result of such Service Termination.

For the avoidance of any doubt, any cruise or tour booking made by Subscriber outside of North America using LeisureShopper shall not count as a Segment. For air Segments, each separate direct or nonstop flight reservation in a passenger name record (“ PNR ”) is multiplied by the number of passengers booked in the PNR for such flight to determine total air Segments; provided that if there is a single flight number, with a change of planes along the way, then such flight reservation shall constitute two Segments. For purposes of this definition, “ full service level ” means that the Vendor provides schedules, availability, booking capability, fares/rates, and if an airline, ticketing capability, through the System, and specifically excludes all airlines that do not issue tickets (paper or electronic), unless otherwise specified in this Agreement. Galileo reserves the right to modify this definition upon the introduction of new vendor participant offerings. Solely in connection with any air Vendor regarding which the Parties have mutually agreed pursuant to Section 5.A(ii) regarding access to the air Vendors’ Content, notwithstanding the definition of “full service level,” a segment for such an air Vendor shall be deemed a Segment, solely for purposes of counting Segments made toward the Domestic Annual Minimum or European Annual Target set forth in Sections 5.B.i and 5.B.ii, respectively, if Galileo has received a Participation Fee (provided that the segment otherwise meets all of the above-specified criteria), but in no event will Galileo pay a Segment Incentive pursuant to Section 5.A.i for such segment.

2.                PROVISION AND USE OF SERVICES

A.            Provision of Services. GILLC, GNBV and each Orbitz Worldwide Agency shall be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. This Agreement has been negotiated and agreed by the parties to govern the terms and conditions upon which the relevant Galileo Group Company or NDC shall provide the Galileo Services and, upon the Worldspan Closing, the Worldspan Services. For the avoidance of doubt, the Galileo Services and, upon the Worldspan Closing, the Worldspan Services, referred to in this Section 2 are to be provided by each of the relevant Galileo Group Companies or NDCs who shall at all times remain responsible for the delivery and provision of those services, notwithstanding that the liability of Galileo to meet such obligations shall at all times remain exclusively with GILLC and GNBV. The applicable Galileo Group Company or NDC shall provide each Orbitz Worldwide Agency Content and Services pursuant to this Agreement, and such Galileo Group Company or NDC, as applicable, shall invoice the particular Orbitz Worldwide Agency for the Services provided. At all times Galileo shall maintain an up to date list of the Galileo Group Companies and NDCs that may provide services under this Agreement and Subscriber shall maintain an up to date list of the Orbitz Worldwide Agencies who receive those Services. Subscriber must first, at its own expense, do any construction, wiring or other modifications necessary to install and connect the Services. At Subscriber’s request and with Galileo’s approval, Galileo may provide additional Services, subject to all terms and conditions of this Agreement. All licenses for Software terminate upon expiration or any termination of this Agreement.

B.              Ownership and Use of Services.

(i)                                      Subscriber has no ownership, right or title in or to any Services, and may not remove identifying marks from the Services or subject the Services to any liens or encumbrances. The Software is the proprietary information and trade secret of Galileo or its licensors. Subscriber may not copy, reproduce or duplicate the Software or Documentation or any portion of them, except to the extent reasonably necessary for backup purposes. Subscriber may not modify, alter, disassemble, reverse assemble, reverse compile, or reverse engineer the Software in whole or in part.

(ii)                                   Subscriber will use the Services strictly in accordance with the Documentation and this Agreement. Any other use is prohibited, including making Improper Segments. Subscriber shall provide to its applicable Galileo Account Manager (as defined in Section 17) commercially reasonable prior written notice, but in no event less than thirty (30) days prior written notice, of any new use of the Services planned by Subscriber not otherwise prohibited by this Agreement and that was not in effect or established as of the Contract Effective Date regarding Galileo Services and as of the Worldspan Services Effective Date regarding Worldspan Services. Any such new use of any of the Services must be mutually agreed by the Parties prior to Subscriber commencing to use the Services for such purpose. For the period commencing on the Worldspan Services Effective Date until the Parties agree upon a Transaction Allowance and Transaction Fees for the Worldspan Services pursuant to Section 4.G (or a binding decision regarding a

5




Transaction Allowance and Transaction Fees pursuant to Section 13), Subscriber shall not use the Worldspan Services to support Direct Connect segments in any manner other than those uses that are in place as of the Worldspan Services Effective Date and that do not otherwise violate any provision of this Agreement. Without limiting the preceding sentence, for the period commencing on the Worldspan Services Effective Date until the Parties agree on a Transaction Allowance and Transaction Fees for the Worldspan Services (or such Transaction Allowance and Transaction Fees are determined by arbitration pursuant to Section 13), except as permitted by the (***) Subscriber shall not send DIR INVQ Messages (as defined below) to the System used to provide the Worldspan Services for the purpose of obtaining seat availability information for interline itineraries containing one or more segments where such segment(s) is on a flight operated by a Supplier Link carrier. For purposes of this Section 2.B, the term “ DIR INVQ Message ” means a request and/or the associated response for availability on one or more flights of certain air Vendors participating in the Worldspan CRS.

(iii)                                Subscriber shall permit only Authorized Users to access the System(s) and they shall not disclose or make the Services, including System displays, available to any other third party. Subscriber will be responsible for the actions or inactions of its Authorized Users under the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Subscriber may subcontract the use of the Services to third parties acting on behalf of Subscriber, but may not sublicense the Services to any third parties for their own use; provided that such third parties comply with the terms of this Agreement and are not competitors of Galileo’s GDS services; and provided further that Subscriber agrees it will not provide access to any Availability Data (as defined below) from either the Galileo Services or Worldspan Services to any third party, including but not limited to ITA. Such permitted third party contractors shall be deemed Authorized Users. Subscriber shall provide Galileo in writing: (i) a list of any such sublicensees as of the Contract Effective Date and Worldspan Services Effective Date, as applicable, including the address(es) where the Services will be utilized by the sublicensees; and (ii) at least thirty (30) days prior notice of any changes to the list during the Term of this Agreement. Subscriber may use the Services herein to provide services to private label or white label websites operated or controlled by an Orbitz Worldwide Agency, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 2.B, “ Availability Data ” means airlines’ availability data delivered in response to any direct, real-time, “seamless” queries for availability information on airlines against airlines’ inventory/reservation systems; standard airline availability status messages (AVS); numeric AVS messages (NAVS); or airline availability information in the form of Travelport GDS responses to availability requests from customers of the Travelport GDSs other than Subscriber (AVL).

(iv)                               Segments of another Galileo customer may not be included under this Agreement without Galileo’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Each Party will cooperate with the other Party, and will cause each third party under its control or direction to cooperate with the other Party, in the performance of the other Party’s obligations under this Agreement by, among other things, making available such information, data, access to premises, management decisions and approvals as may be reasonably requested by the other Party.

C.              Updates . Galileo may enhance, discontinue, modify or replace (collectively, “Update” ) the Services at any time, which shall not materially adversely impair the overall functions of the Systems. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Galileo does not promise to provide any information of any vendors. With respect to any Update that could materially affect Subscriber’s access to a System or use of the Services, Galileo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Subscriber written notice of such update at least sixty (60) days prior to the deployment of such Update to its subscriber base. Subscriber’s use of an Update constitutes its agreement to Galileo’s terms and conditions pertaining to such use, or as otherwise mutually agreed. The Parties acknowledge and agree that terms and conditions pertaining to an Update are not intended to materially modify the overall terms and conditions of this Agreement. Subscriber acknowledges that during the Term of this Agreement the functionality of selling cruises and tours via LeisureShopper may be replaced with a new Galileo cruise and tour product.

D.             Third Party Products. Galileo has no liability whatsoever with respect to any product that is not provided by Galileo and is used by Subscriber in conjunction with the Services (“ Third Party Product ”). For purposes of the previous sentence, “product” does not include Vendor Content. Subscriber shall indemnify and hold harmless Galileo for all liabilities, costs and expenses actually incurred by Galileo resulting from or related to a Third Party Product. If

6




Subscriber’s use of a Third Party Product adversely affects the use of the System by other customers of Galileo, then Galileo may require that Subscriber immediately discontinue its use of such Third Party Product until Subscriber can demonstrate that it has resolved the adverse effect to Galileo’s reasonable satisfaction. Galileo acknowledges that, as of the Contract Effective Date, ITA’s fare shopping solution does not adversely affect the use of the Systems.

E.               Hardware . Galileo (through the applicable Galileo Group Company or NDC) shall provide the Hardware and telecommunications lines listed in the attached Custom Terms and Conditions Attachments and/or Services Summaries in connection with Galileo Services and, if the Worldspan Closing occurs, the telecommunications lines provided under the Orbitz – Worldspan Agreement (as defined in the Custom Terms and Conditions Attachment (Worldspan Services) as of the Worldspan Services Effective Date. The costs to Subscriber for the provision of all such Hardware and telecommunications services during the Term of this Agreement shall remain substantially similar to the total of such costs in effect as of the Contract Effective Date for the Galileo Services, and as of the Worldspan Services Effective Date for the Worldspan Services. For the avoidance of any doubt, during the Term of this Agreement, Subscriber shall reimburse Galileo in the same way as it reimburses Worldspan under the Orbitz – Worldspan Agreement for any and all telecommunication costs incurred by a Galileo Group Company or NDC in connection with the provision of Worldspan Services, including, but not limited to, telecommunications costs incurred in connection with Subscriber’s fulfillment and customer service providers and any other entity or Location being provided telecommunications services by a Galileo Group Company or NDC for or on behalf of Subscriber. To the extent that Subscriber reasonably needs additional telecommunications lines in connection with either Galileo or Worldspan Services due to the growth in volume of Segments going through the Travelport GDSs during the Term, Galileo will pay the reasonable costs for the provision of such necessary telecommunications lines. Subscriber agrees to accept full responsibility for loss of or damage to the Hardware and, if lost or damaged, Subscriber must pay to Galileo the reasonable actual replacement cost. Subscriber shall be responsible for all necessary repair and maintenance to the Hardware after installation at the applicable Location(s), except to the extent any such repair or maintenance is proximately caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Galileo. Subscriber may not install third-party devices within the Hardware.

F.               Fare Shopping Tools .

(i)                                      Except as provided in Section 2.F(ii) below or as permitted by the (***), Subscriber will not use any Galileo fare shopping tool or other Galileo faring tool without Galileo’s prior written consent and only upon mutually agreed terms. Until December 31, 2007, Subscriber will be responsible for the Orbitz Worldwide Agencies’ Per-PNR Online License Fees under the Software License Agreement, dated as of October 3, 2002, between ITA Software, Inc. ( “ITA” ) and GILLC, as subsequently amended.

(ii)                                   (***)

(***)

G.              Movement of Segments . Subscriber shall not move Segments or Transactions between the Travelport GDSs without the prior written consent of Galileo, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. If Subscriber desires to move U.S. points-of-sale air Segments from the Apollo CRS to the Worldspan CRS, Galileo’s consent thereto shall be subject to Subscriber agreeing to a Segment Incentive rate and other related terms such that Galileo’s Contribution Margin per Segment for such migrated air Segments shall be no less than Galileo’s Contribution Margin per Segment would have been if the air Segments had been made through the Galileo Services. For purposes of this Section 2.G, the term “ Contribution Margin per Segment ” means for any given period total gross Participation Fees received by Galileo from all air Vendors for U.S. points-of-sale air Segments made by Subscriber during the period, net of the total of all Segment Incentive payments made by Galileo to Subscriber and the total Program Fees or other Content access fees paid by Subscriber to Galileo for such air Segments during the period, divided by the total number of U.S. points-of-sale air Segments made by Subscriber during the period. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that any such U.S. points-of-sale air Segments moved or migrated from the Apollo CRS to the Worldspan CRS shall not become subject to the terms of the Supplier Link Agreements or treated as eligible segments to be made through the Supplier Link vendors under those agreements.

H.             Third Party Software Licenses . Certain Software may be provided pursuant to a license agreement between Galileo (or a Galileo Group Company) and a third party licensor (each a “ Third Party Licensor ”). The Third Party Licensor may require Galileo to agree and comply with terms and conditions that may not already be reflected in this Agreement. While Galileo (or other Galileo Group Companies, as applicable) will always use its commercially

8




reasonable efforts to negotiate terms with its Third Party Licensors which are consistent in all material respects with those already contained in this Agreement, it may from time to time be necessary for Galileo to pass on such additional terms and conditions to its customers. In such event Galileo may require that Subscriber agree to terms and conditions of use in addition to those set out herein before Subscriber and the applicable Orbitz Worldwide Agencies are permitted access to such Software, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

I.                  Capacity Planning . Subscriber shall provide commercially reasonable prior written notice to its applicable Galileo Account Manager of any event that may have an impact on the Transaction Allowance(s) or number of Transactions accessing the Travelport GDSs, including, but not limited to, new code or changes to existing code launched by Subscriber, Subscriber’s entrance into new markets, or Subscriber’s advertising/marketing campaigns. Notwithstanding the preceding, within ninety (90) days of the Worldspan Closing date, the Parties shall mutually agree on a process and procedures regarding capacity planning that are to be in place for the remaining Term of the Agreement. Both Parties agree to work together to help ensure that Subscriber’s code operates with the Travelport GDSs in the most efficient way possible. The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Section 2.I is not intended to materially modify the manner in which Subscriber connects to and receives the Travelport GDS Services as of the Contract Effective Date.

J.                 Orbitz Booking Engines . With respect to the booking engine(s) and any other component of, or used by, Subscriber’s websites that directly interface with a Travelport GDS, Subscriber will use reasonable business efforts to ensure that (i) the component’s interface to the Travelport GDSs results in a reasonably efficient use of the Systems, as periodically confirmed by Galileo’s audit, (ii) any software included in the component meets commercially reasonable standards for stability, acceptability, documentation and integrity and has been sufficiently stress tested to ensure that it will meet anticipated volume requirements, and (iii) any hardware used by the component meets Galileo’s reasonable requirements for compatibility. The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Section 2.J is not intended to materially modify the manner in which Subscriber connects to and receives the Travelport GDS Services as of the Contract Effective Date..

3.                PRODUCT-SPECIFIC PROVISIONS

The following provisions shall apply when Subscriber elects to license the product specified or operate in the manner specified.

A.            If Subscriber elects to access the Travelport GDSs via its own Internet communications method such as DSL, dial-up phone line, ISDN or cable access (“ User Access ”), Subscriber shall be responsible for obtaining, installing, supporting, and maintaining all components of the User Access and for paying all charges of the relevant communications providers. In order to minimize unauthorized access to the Travelport GDSs and the data contained therein, Galileo recommends that Subscriber establish a firewall. Galileo shall have no responsibility whatsoever with respect to the User Access, including, but not limited to, the performance or reliability of the User Access.

B.              If Subscriber elects to install and use its own local area network operating environment (“ LAN ”) to access the Travelport GDSs: (a) Subscriber may copy the applicable Software for its internal use only, subject to Section 2.B above; (b) the number of Subscriber’s users who may concurrently access the Travelport GDSs at a Location shall be equal to the number of global terminal identifiers (“GTIDs”) licensed by Subscriber from Galileo for that Location; and (c) Subscriber shall be responsible for obtaining, implementing, installing, supporting, and maintaining the LAN, the LAN operating system, the workstation operating system, and all hardware and other software required to utilize the Travelport GDSs, but which is not provided by a Galileo Group Company or an NDC, and for all expenses related thereto. Galileo will continue to provide Subscriber with GTIDSs reasonably required to support access to the Services at no additional charge. Galileo will not unreasonably withhold any additional GTIDs requested by Subscriber where the request is to support a reasonable business purpose of Subscriber, such as disaster recovery.

C.              Galileo will license to Subscriber Selective Access and, if desired, Global Access, whereby Subscriber or an Orbitz Worldwide Agency may authorize another Galileo subscriber to access the client records entered into the Travelport GDSs by them; provided, however, Galileo shall have no responsibility or liability whatsoever with respect to such authorization or access.

D.             If Subscriber elects to allow its Authorized Users to access the Travelport GDSs from a remote location (“Remote Users”) via User Access, then in addition to the terms set forth in Section 3.A above, the following shall apply:

(iii)                                Galileo will not provide Remote Users with any training or support; and

(iv)                               Galileo reserves the right to discontinue Remote Users’ access to the Travelport GDSs upon 30 days’ prior written notice to Subscriber if Subscriber fails to meet any of the obligations under this Section 3.D.

4.                CHARGES/PAYMENTS

A.            Subscriber shall pay all undisputed invoices within 30 days of receipt of invoice or reconciliation statement. The charges payable under this Agreement are set forth within this Section 4 or on the attachments hereto. All charges for Services are subject to change upon 30 days prior written notice to Subscriber; provided that Galileo may not charge for Services that are expressly waived under this Agreement. However, any increases of existing charges for Services will not exceed 10% per calendar year. Galileo will provide to Subscriber at no additional charge Help Desk services that are provided to Subscriber as of the Contract Effective Date regarding Galileo Services and as of the Worldspan Services Effective Date regarding Worldspan Services at the level that is standard for Galileo’s subscriber base from time to time in each country. For the avoidance of any doubt, except to the extent otherwise mutually agreed, Galileo will not be responsible for providing any Help Desk support with respect to any hardware, software, product or service that is not provided by Galileo under this Agreement. Subscriber will reimburse Galileo for (i) all taxes (excluding taxes measured by Galileo’s net income) and other governmental assessments incurred in the provision of Services by Galileo, and (ii) any costs incurred by Galileo to collect amounts due under this Agreement. Past due balances will accrue interest at the rate of 1½% per month compounded or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less.

B.              Either Party will pay any taxes, duty, levy or impost to be withheld or deducted in respect of any amount due to the other Party to the extent where it is required to perform such a withholding or deduction under applicable tax law.

C.              If either Party is required by law to make any tax deduction or withholding in relation to any payment under this Agreement, it shall:

(i)                                      take all commercially reasonable measures that may be necessary to enable or assist the Party to whom the payment is due to claim exemption from the deduction or withholding or, if that is not possible, a credit for it under any applicable double taxation or similar agreement from time to time in force; and

(ii)                                   from time to time give, upon request, the Party to whom the payment is due, proper evidence as to the deduction or withholding and payment over of the tax deducted or withheld.

D.             If the Party making the payment has failed to fulfill its obligations under Section 4.C above, it shall increase the amount of its payment to the beneficiary by such an amount as to enable the beneficiary to receive the sums it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required.

E.               All dollar amounts expressed herein are stated in United States Dollars, unless otherwise noted. Unless otherwise mutually agreed, all payments under this Agreement shall be made in United States Dollars. For the avoidance of any doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree that regarding all payments made by Galileo to Subscriber under this Agreement, those with respect to business in North America shall be paid by GILLC and those with respect to business in Europe and RoW shall be paid by GNBV.

F.               The Parties agree that in the ordinary course of business, any undisputed charges owed by Subscriber to Galileo will be netted off against any amounts owed by Galileo to Subscriber under this Agreement. For the avoidance of any doubt, the right of offset referred to in this Section 4.F is just in connection with payments; it does not affect each Party’s obligation to issue invoices for the amounts being offset.

10




G.              Within 90 days of the Contract Effective Date for the Galileo Services, and within 90 days of the Worldspan Services Effective Date for the Worldspan Services, the Parties agree to negotiate and mutually agree to an acceptable monthly Transaction Allowance and Transaction Fee (as defined below) for the respective Travelport GDSs. Subscriber acknowledges that by exceeding the Transaction Allowance, this results in a legitimate cost to Galileo, and agrees to pay to Galileo a fair and commercially reasonable fee for each Transaction made in excess of the Transaction Allowance (“ Transaction Fee ”). In establishing the Transaction Fee, the Parties shall consider, among other factors, (i) any similar fee Galileo charges to other online travel agencies having similar Segment volume production, (ii) industry averages for look to book ratios for online travel agencies having similar Segment volume productions, (iii) the capacity of Galileo’s hardware to handle the excessive Transactions; and (iv) the cost to Galileo of handling the excessive Transactions, and the Parties shall establish (y) a Transaction Allowance for the Galileo Services for each region where Galileo Services are then-currently provided (i.e., North America, Europe and/ or RoW) that is substantially similar to the average monthly number of Transactions per Segment for each region for the 6 months prior to the Contract Effective Date, and (z) a Transaction Allowance for the Worldspan Services for each region where Worldspan Services are then-currently provided that is substantially similar to the average monthly number of Transactions per segment (as defined in the Orbitz – Worldspan Agreement) for the Worldspan CRS for each region for the 6 months prior to the Worldspan Services Effective Date. If the Parties are unable to agree on a Transaction Allowance and an amount for the Transaction Fee, then the decision regarding such terms shall be resolved by arbitration pursuant to Section 13. The Parties agree to negotiate and mutually agree on a monthly Transaction Allowance and Transaction Fee for each of the Galileo and Worldspan Services within 90 days of Galileo’s commencement of providing Galileo or Worldspan Services in a region for which such an allowance and fee was not previously established as set forth above in this Section 4.G.

5.                SEGMENT INCENTIVES/COMMITMENTS

A.            Galileo agrees to pay Subscriber Segment Incentive payments as specified below:

(i)                                      For each Segment made by the Orbitz Worldwide Agencies during the Term of this Agreement Galileo shall provide to Subscriber a Segment Incentive in an amount and pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 5, the Custom Terms and Conditions Attachments attached hereto, or as provided in Section 2.G above.

(ii)                                   If during the Term a new air Vendor commences participation in the Travelport GDSs at less than the full service level, or an existing full service air Vendor changes its participation level in the Travelport GDSs to below the full service level, the Parties shall mutually agree on the applicable Segment Incentive payment and other related terms for access to the air Vendor’s Content if the following terms and conditions apply: (a) for an air Vendor that changes its participation from full service level to below full service level, the total Segments made by Subscriber for such air Vendor during the twelve months immediately preceding such air Vendor’s participation level change must represent more than (***) percent (***%) of Subscriber’s total segments made during the same time period, or (b) for an air Vendor that commences participation in the Travelport GDSs at less than full service level, (***) percent (***%) of such air Vendor’s total passengers boarded (as identified through public industry sources) for that air Vendor’s primary geographic region during the twelve months immediately preceding the air Vendor’s participation commencement date must represent more than (***) percent (***%) of Subscriber’s total segments made in the applicable geographic region during the same time period. If the Parties are unable to agree on the applicable Segment Incentive payments and other related terms, then the decision regarding such Segment Incentive payments and other related terms shall be resolved by arbitration pursuant to Section 13. For the avoidance of any doubt, if the above terms and conditions are not met with respect to an air Vendor commencing participation in the Travelport GDSs at less than full service level or a full service air Vendor changing its participation level in the Travelport GDSs to below full service level, then the Segment Incentive and other related terms that will apply to Subscriber for access to such air Vendor’s Content shall be the Segment Incentive rate and other related terms that apply to Galileo’s subscriber base for that air Vendor, unless otherwise mutually agreed.

B.              Subject to the exceptions specified in Section 5.C below, Subscriber agrees to use the Travelport GDSs as specified below:

11




(i)                                      North America . Each Orbitz Domestic Agency shall use a Travelport GDS exclusively to make all of its air and car segments. If an Orbitz Domestic Agency elects to use a GDS for hotel segments, it shall use a Travelport GDS exclusively, subject to the exceptions specified in Section 5.C below. For purposes of this Section 5(B)(i), the term “GDS” shall mean the Apollo, Galileo, Worldspan, Sabre, Amadeus, Abacas, Axess, Infini, Topas and TravelSky systems and any successor systems thereof. If the Worldspan Closing occurs on or before December 31, 2007, during the 2007 Contract Year Subscriber agrees to make a minimum of either (a) (***) Segments or (b) the total number of Segments made by the Orbitz Domestic Agencies through the Travelport GDSs during the 2007 Contract Year (including all segments made by Orbitz, LLC through the Worldspan CRS during 2007 prior to the Worldspan Closing date), whichever is greater (“ Domestic Annual Minimum ”). Of the Domestic Annual Minimum, (***) Segments shall be made by Orbitz, LLC through the Worldspan Services (the “ Domestic Worldspan Services Minimum ”), and the remainder of the Segments shall be made by the Orbitz Domestic Agencies using Galileo Services, adjusted at the beginning of each subsequent Contract Year as set forth below (the “ Domestic Galileo Services Minimum ”). Segments above 16,000,000 in a Contract Year booked by Orbitz, LLC on the Worldspan Services shall be credited toward satisfying Subscriber’s Domestic Galileo Services Minimum. The Domestic Galileo Services Minimum shall be adjusted (up or down, as applicable) at the beginning of the 2008 and each subsequent Contract Year by the difference between the Domestic Galileo Services Minimum in effect for the prior Contract Year and the total number of Segments made by the Orbitz Domestic Agencies using Galileo Services during the prior Contract Year. In the event that the Worldspan Closing does not occur, then the Domestic Annual Minimum shall be either (a) (***) Segments or (b) the total number of Segments made by the Orbitz Domestic Agencies through the Galileo Services during the 2007 calendar year, whichever is greater, and adjusted as specified in the preceding sentence at the beginning of the 2008 and each subsequent Contract Year. For the avoidance of any doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree that any such adjustments to the Domestic Galileo Services Minimum shall only be made when there has been an increase or decrease in the total volume of Segments made through the Galileo Services by Subscriber’s customers. In no event shall any such adjustments be made to the Domestic Galileo Services Minimum where the change results from the movement or migration of Segments between the Travelport GDSs. Further, for the avoidance of any doubt, for purposes of calculating any adjustment to the Domestic Galileo Services Minimum and any Shortfall Fees due under the Custom Terms and Conditions Attachment (Galileo Services) for North America, any Segments made through the Cheaptickets website will be treated as Segments made via the Galileo Services, regardless of whether those Segments were migrated to the Worldspan Services. Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the Domestic Annual Minimum shall apply regardless of whether one of the exceptions specified in Section 5.C below applies.

(ii)                                   Europe . Subscriber’s Orbitz International Agencies currently use Galileo Services for websites in the following countries: United Kingdom, Ireland, Spain, Belgium and the Netherlands (“Orbitz International Galileo Agencies”). Subject to Sections 5.D and 5.E below, during the Term of this Agreement, Subscriber shall cause the Orbitz International Galileo Agencies to use the Travelport GDSs exclusively for those segments made by them through GDSs in Europe (“ European Annual Target ”). Notwithstanding the previous sentence, until the Parties’ agreement on a Service Level Agreement pursuant to Section 19 (or issuance of a binding decision concerning a Service Level Agreement pursuant to Section 13), the Orbitz International Galileo Agencies may use a non-Travelport GDS solely, and only to the extent necessary, to “fail over” segments if the Travelport GDSs are unavailable to book segments (excluding scheduled outages) and only during the continuation of any such System downtime or unavailability. For any countries in Europe where Subscriber does not operate or have a website as of the Contract Effective Date, to the extent that Subscriber commences operations or establishes a website in such a country (a “ New European Country ”) during the Term, Subscriber will cause 100% of the segments made in such New European Country to be made through a Travelport GDS, unless Subscriber can reasonably demonstrate a material commercial harm or potential material commercial harm that it cannot do so. The Parties agree to use good faith, commercially reasonable efforts to work together to make and maintain the Galileo Services in Europe competitive with other non-Travelport GDSs. For countries in Europe where as of the Contract Effective Date Subscriber only uses a non-Travelport GDS, the Parties agree that they will use good faith, commercially reasonable efforts to work together to resolve all mutually identified material deficiencies in the Travelport GDSs. Subscriber agrees that it will migrate all segments made in such countries through a GDS to a Travelport GDS as soon as reasonably practicable as Galileo resolves such deficiencies. On a quarterly basis, Subscriber will provide to Galileo a report certified by an officer of Subscriber stating the

12




total number of segments made by Subscriber in Europe during the quarter, broken down by total Direct Connect segments, Galileo Segments, and segments made through any other GDS or other source.

(iii)                                RoW . Subscriber agrees that the Orbitz International Agencies located in RoW shall use the Travelport GDSs exclusively for GDS services in such region to the extent that Galileo can provide such services on terms and conditions commercially reasonable for the applicable region or country. In the event Galileo and Subscriber cannot agree on commercially reasonable terms for such services and an Orbitz International Agency desires to use a non-Travelport GDS, then Galileo shall have the right of first refusal to provide such Orbitz International Agency(ies) GDS services on substantially similar terms and conditions as those offered by the non-Travelport GDS.

C.              Subscriber’s obligations to use the Travelport GDSs as specified above in Section 5.B shall be subject to the following exceptions:

(i)                                      its obligations existing as of the Contract Effective Date, including, but not limited to, its obligations under its Supplier Link Agreements and the Orbitz – Worldspan Agreement, for so long as it exists; provided that all such existing obligations are not expanded or renewed, unless the other party to any such agreements has a unilateral right to renew the particular agreement, and in instances where existing obligations continue indefinitely, such existing obligations are terminated as soon as commercially practicable;

(ii)                                   where the Travelport GDSs do not have material Content, but subject to the terms of Sections 6.C and 18; and

(iii)                                where, with respect to a specific Vendor, a material economic difference in the net compensation per segment to be received by Subscriber exists between a Travelport GDS and establishing a Direct Connection to the Vendor; provided, however, in each such instance the Parties shall first negotiate in good faith an economic apportionment that is fair and commercially reasonable for both parties, and provided further, if the Parties are unable to agree on such an apportionment, then the decision regarding such apportionment shall be resolved by arbitration pursuant to Section 13.

In each instance where at least one of the above-specified exceptions applies, then Subscriber may use the Direct Connection with the particular Vendor, provided that Subscriber has not initiated the discussions with the Vendor (except as otherwise agreed with Galileo) and Galileo will have the right of first refusal to provide Subscriber with GDS services on substantially similar terms and conditions as offered by the particular Vendor for the Direct Connection. In instances where Subscriber has established a Direct Connection with a vendor because the Travelport GDSs did not have material Content and Galileo subsequently obtains such material Content, then Subscriber agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts, subject to existing contractual commitments, to make the bookings for such Content in the Travelport GDSs. Additionally, when negotiating with vendors for any such Direct Connections Subscriber agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain flexibility when negotiating the term of the Direct Connect agreement and any segment volume commitment to redirect segments for the Content to Galileo during the Term of this Agreement. For the avoidance of any doubt, Subscriber agrees that it will not directly or indirectly access a Travelport GDS in connection with any segments made via Direct Connections without payment to Galileo of applicable Transaction Fees pursuant to Section 4.G. Further, the parties agree that Subscriber’s use of a Travelport GDS for a non-Direct Connect Vendor that is displayed in the same matrix display as a Direct Connect Vendor accessing a Travelport GDS (provided that Subscriber pays the applicable Transaction Fee for the Direct Connect Vendor accessing a Travelport GDS) will not result in the imposition of a Transaction Fee to Subscriber for the non-Direct Connect Vendor merely because the non-Direct Connect Vendor is displayed in the same matrix display as the Direct Connect Vendor. The previous sentence is not intended to modify any Transaction Fees otherwise applicable to the non-Direct Connect Vendor by reason of such non-Direct Connect Vendor’s accessing a Travelport GDS.

D.             Subscriber agrees that if, during the term of this Agreement, Subscriber acquires another entity or another online travel website, Subscriber will use commercially reasonable efforts to migrate all of the acquired company’s or acquired online travel website’s segments to a Travelport GDS consistent with Section 5.B hereof, subject to the acquired entity’s or acquired online travel website’s existing exclusivity or minimum segment obligations.

E.               Subscriber agrees that if, during the term of this Agreement, Subscriber sells, transfers or otherwise divests an Orbitz entity or Orbitz Worldwide Agency(ies) (each a “ Divested Entity ”) or online travel website (“ Divested

13




Website ”), Subscriber will cause the Divested Entity or Divested Website to enter into an agreement with Galileo on the same date such entity, agency or website is divested, with the terms and conditions of that agreement to replicate the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, all economic provisions) for the Divested Entity and/or Divested Website. If part of Subscriber’s Domestic Annual Minimum or European Annual Target has been allocated to an Orbitz entity or an Orbitz Worldwide Agency(ies) or online travel website that will be sold, transferred or otherwise divested, the Domestic Annual Minimum or European Annual Target, as applicable, will be reduced accordingly once such Orbitz entity, Orbitz Worldwide Agency(ies) or online travel website becomes either a Divested Entity or Divested Website; provided that the agreement referenced in the immediately preceding sentence has been executed by the Divested Entity or Divested Website and Galileo. The Parties agree that if the particular sale of Travelbag Ltd. pending as of the Contract Effective Date closes, Subscriber is not required to cause Travelbag to enter into a separate agreement with Galileo pursuant to this Section 5.E. Subscriber’s obligations under Section 5.B(ii) with respect to Travelbag shall cease as of the closing date for any such sale or divestiture of Travelbag.

6.                CONTENT

A.            Subject to the terms and conditions specified in this Agreement, Galileo will provide to the Orbitz Worldwide Agencies access to all publicly available fares and applicable negotiated non-public fares for air, hotel and car provided to Galileo by the Vendors participating in the Travelport GDSs (as applicable) in accordance with the terms and conditions agreed between Galileo and the Vendors.

B.              Subscriber agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to use the Travelport GDSs for non-air/car/hotel Content provided in the Travelport GDSs.

C.              Loss of Content . In the event that one or more air Vendors that participates in a Travelport GDS withdraws all or a portion of its Content from such Travelport GDS, and the loss of such Content is the proximate cause of Subscriber failing to achieve the Domestic Annual Minimum in a particular Contract Year, then Galileo agrees not to charge Subscriber any Shortfall Fees (as set forth in the Custom Services Terms and Conditions Attachment (Galileo Services) – North America) for that Contract Year, provided that the loss of such Content was not caused directly or indirectly by any action or inaction of Subscriber. The Parties agree that this Section 6.C does not apply to situations where Content is lost to all distribution channels (including all distribution channels owned and operated by the particular air Vendor), including, but not limited to, instances where an air Vendor goes out of business or drops service in a particular market.

D.             Galileo agrees that no Orbitz Domestic Agencies using Worldspan Services shall be charged any Content access fees for the following air Vendors: American, Continental, Delta, Northwest, United, US Airways (collectively, “PFS2 Vendors”) and Alaska, provided that Subscriber does not opt in (such opt-in decision to be in Subscriber’s sole discretion) to any optional programs regarding the provision of Content that are offered by Galileo in connection with Worldspan Services. Subscriber may not participate in any such optional programs without Galileo’s prior written consent, which consent may require the Parties renegotiating the applicable Segment Incentive payment for such Content. As to non-PFS2 Vendors in connection with Worldspan Services, non-CCP participating Vendors that pay Galileo no Participation Fee (or only a nominal Participation Fee), and Orbitz International Agencies using Galileo Services, in consideration for Galileo procuring or retaining Content from Vendors who participate in the Travelport GDSs, Subscriber recognizes and acknowledges that Galileo may in return negotiate a reduction in the Participation Fees due (or Galileo receives no Participation Fee or only a nominal Participation Fee) from those Vendors during the Term of this Agreement, and, as such, may necessitate Galileo implementing a charge to access such Content. The Parties agree that any such charge will be based on market.

7.                REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

A.            Galileo represents and warrants that: (i) it is the owner or authorized licensee of the Software and Hardware; (ii) it has the right to provide the Services to Subscriber; (iii) the Galileo Services and Worldspan Services shall meet or exceed the Service Levels as set forth in a mutually agreed (or as determined by arbitration pursuant to Section 13) Service Level Agreement under Section 19, and (iv) the Galileo Services and Worldspan Services will be provided in a good and workmanlike manner.

If Galileo is found to be in breach of Section 7.A, Galileo shall, at its option and expense, modify or replace the component of the Services causing the breach, or obtain the right for Subscriber to continue to use the component of the Services, as applicable. Following the Parties’ agreement on a Service Level Agreement pursuant to Section 19 (or an arbitrator’s issuance of a binding decision concerning a Service Level Agreement), the remedies available under the Service Level Agreement set forth in Section 19 and this Section 7 will be exclusive of any other remedy, now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise for breach of Section 7.A.

D.             Subscriber represents and warrants that: (i) each current Location and current Subscriber entity and/or current Orbitz Worldwide Agency(ies) and current online travel websites is owned or controlled by Subscriber and it has the authority to enter into this Agreement on behalf of each current and future Location and current and future Subscriber entity and/or current and future Orbitz Worldwide Agency(ies) including, but not limited to, Orbitz, LLC Cheaptickets, TFB, Lodging, Neat and ebookers, and current and future online travel websites; and (ii) no written or oral representation or warranty made or information furnished by Subscriber to Galileo, including the Customer Profile, contains any untrue statement of material fact.

E.               Each Party represents and warrants that its execution of this Agreement and the exercise of its rights and the performance of its obligations hereunder do not constitute and shall not result in any breach of any agreement to which it is a party.

8.                LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

B.                                      EXCEPT FOR ANY AND ALL SHORTFALL FEES AS MAY BECOME DUE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, IN NO EVENT WILL THE LIABLE PARTY BE LIABLE FOR (I) ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, EXCEPTING DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE LIABLE PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, OR (II) ANY DAMAGES THAT COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED OR MITIGATED BY THE OTHER PARTY’S TAKING REASONABLE PRECAUTIONS OR FOLLOWING REASONABLE PROCEDURES.

B.              Termination . A Party (the “ Insecure Party ”) to this Agreement may immediately terminate this Agreement or, alternately, may request the other Party (the “ Defaulting Party ”) to meet certain conditions in an attempt to avoid termination, if any of the following occurs: (i) the Defaulting Party is subject to any insolvency proceeding under any applicable local, state or federal law; (ii) a receiver or custodian of the Defaulting Party’s assets is appointed; (iii) the Defaulting Party ceases to do business or otherwise ceases or suspends operations for reasons other than an event of force majeure, or as otherwise permitted under the Agreement; (iv) the Defaulting Party breaches any of its material obligations under this Agreement (other than payment obligations), and the breach continues for 30 days after the Insecure Party’s written notice (except if a cure is impossible or impracticable, there is no cure period); (v) the Defaulting Party fails to remit any payment due within 30 days after receipt of written notice from the Insecure Party; (vi) the Defaulting Party materially breaches any of its representations or warranties set forth herein; or (vii) in the case of Subscriber, Galileo breaches its obligations under Section 19.C regarding a mutually agreed (or as determined by arbitration pursuant to Section 13) Service Level Agreement. If Subscriber is the Defaulting Party, then Galileo may, among other actions, first suspend access to the Services in an attempt to avoid termination. Either Party’s efforts to avoid termination shall not constitute a waiver of such Party’s right to terminate the Agreement.

 C.           Survival of Terms . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, provisions which by their nature and intent should survive expiration or termination, including, but not limited to, confidentiality, damages, Software license restrictions, and risk of loss, will survive.

10.          INDEMNIFICATION

A.            Each Party (“ Indemnito r”) shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the other Party, its parents, affiliates and subsidiaries, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (each a Galileo or Subscriber “ Indemnitee ”, as applicable), from and against third party liabilities, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and related expenses, which may be incurred by an Indemnitee solely as a result of any injuries or deaths of persons, or the loss or loss of use of, damage to, or destruction of property, arising out of or related to the performance or failure of performance of its obligations under this Agreement.

B.              Subscriber shall indemnify and hold harmless each Galileo Indemnitee from and against any and all third party liabilities, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and related expenses, that may be incurred by a Galileo Indemnitee solely as a result of Subscriber’s misuse of the Services or Subscriber’s provision of travel services or products to Subscriber’s customers.

C.              An Indemnitor shall not settle an action or claim in a manner that materially adversely affects an Indemnitee without the Indemnitee’s prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld.

D.             Any Party claiming indemnification pursuant to this Section 10 will give the Indemnitor prompt written notice of the applicable third party liabilities and reasonably cooperate with the Indmenitor, at the Indemnitor’s cost and expense, in the defense of the foregoing. The Indemnitor shall have sole authority to defend or settle the claim, provided such defense or settlement does not prejudice any rights of or incur any cost on behalf of the Indemnitee(s).

11.          CONFIDENTIALITY

A.            Each Party agrees to regard and preserve as confidential all information, documents and materials (in whatever format or media) related to the business and activities of the other Party, its customers, clients, suppliers (including Vendors) and other entities with whom the other Party does business (including price lists, business and trade secrets, passenger, customer or client lists and records, economic information where Orbitz has more favorable terms than other Galileo subscribers, other business and marketing information, plans and data, schematics and diagrams), that may be obtained by such Party from any source or may be developed as a result of this Agreement (collectively, “ Confidential Information ”). Each Party agrees to hold Confidential Information in trust and

16




confidence and not to disclose it to any person, firm or enterprise, or use it (directly or indirectly) for its own benefit or for the benefit of any independent third party or other Party, unless authorized by this Agreement or by the other Party in writing, and even then, to limit access to and disclosure of Confidential Information to its employees and representatives on a “need to know” basis only. Notwithstanding the preceding, each Party may disclose all information contained in passenger name records and traveler profiles if required to do so by law or court order, or requested by a governmental or law enforcement agency, and to its accountants and attorneys and other professional advisers on a “need to know” basis only, as a direct result of such request/requirement, as applicable.

B.              Each Party acknowledges that any materials labeled “Confidential” at the time of their receipt from the other Party, are confidential and trade secrets of the disclosing Party, and each Party agrees that unless written consent has been given, the receiving Party shall keep such materials confidential and prevent their disclosure to any person other than to its employees or representatives on a “need to know” basis only, and the receiving Party shall be responsible to the disclosing Party for any unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information by the receiving Party’s employees or representatives. The Parties agree that the terms of this Agreement are Confidential Information of each Party but in no event shall the terms of this Agreement be deemed a trade secret of a Party. Each Party may share the terms of this Agreement with its accountants, lawyers and other professional advisers on a “need to know” basis only.

C.              Information shall not be considered confidential to the extent that such information is: (i) already known to the receiving Party free of any restriction at the time it is obtained from the disclosing Party; (ii) subsequently learned from an independent third party free of any restriction and without breach of this Agreement or any other agreement; (iii) or becomes publicly available through no wrongful act of either Party; (iv) independently developed by one Party without reference to any confidential information of the other; or (v) required to be disclosed pursuant to a requirement of a governmental agency or law enforcement authority or regulatory body, or by judicial decision so long as the Parties provide each other with reasonable advance prior written notice of such requirements.

D.             No express or implied rights or license are granted by the disclosure of Confidential Information to the recipient Party pursuant to, under and in connection with this Agreement.

G.              Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 11, to the extent permitted by all applicable and relevant laws, Galileo will have the right to extract Product Data and to disclose (including sell) and send Product Data to third parties provided the use of Product Data shall at all times be in accordance with the relevant Data Protection Laws.

H.             Any data supplied by Subscriber to Galileo (whether stored on or sent over the Travelport GDSs or on the Software or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement) will not contain anything obscene, offensive or defamatory, or which is in breach of any laws or regulations.

I.                  Neither Party shall acquire under this Agreement a right to use, and may not use without the other Party’s prior written consent in each instance, the names, characters, artwork, designs, trade names, trademarks or service marks of the other Party in any advertising, publicity, public announcement, marketing, press release or promotion.

J.                 Each Party shall be liable for and shall indemnify the other Party from and against any and all claims, actions, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses (including legal expenses on a full indemnity basis) incurred by the indemnified Party which arise directly or indirectly as a result of any breach of the obligations set out in this Section 11

13.          DISPUTE RESOLUTION

A.            This Section 13 applies solely to the Parties’ obligations pursuant to Sections 2.F(ii), 4.G, 5.A.(ii), 5.C.(iii) and Section 19 hereof.

B.              In the event the Parties are unable to agree upon (i) terms and conditions regarding (***) pursuant to Section 2.F(ii), (ii) a Segment Incentive payment and other related terms with respect to a new air Vendor that participates at less than full service level or an air Vendor changing its System participation level to less than a full service level pursuant to Section 5.A(ii) hereof, (iii) an economic apportionment with respect to a particular Vendor pursuant to Section 5.C.(iii) hereof, (iv) determination of a Transaction Allowance and Transaction Fee for each region as applicable under Section 4.G and (v) a Galileo Services Service Level Agreement or Worldspan Services Service Level Agreement under Section 19, the CEOs of the Parties shall use good faith efforts to negotiate a resolution to the applicable issue. If the CEOs of the Parties have been unable to agree on a resolution to an issue within 15 days of identification and written notice to the other Party of an issue, such dispute (“ Dispute ”) shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. The Parties agree that such arbitration shall take place in Chicago, Illinois. The arbitration shall be conducted by three (3) arbitrators. Within five (5) days after the receipt by the other Party of a written notice of one Party’s desire to settle a Dispute by arbitration, each Party shall appoint an arbitrator, and within five (5) days of their appointment the two (2) arbitrators so chosen shall nominate a third independent arbitrator. Such third arbitrator shall either be an independent arbitrator, an attorney with at least ten years experience in the travel industry, or any other professional with ten years experience in the travel industry. If within such five (5) day period the two (2) arbitrators fail to nominate the third arbitrator, upon written request of either Party, the third arbitrator shall be appointed by the American Arbitration Association and both Parties shall be bound by the appointment so made. If either Party shall fail to appoint an arbitrator as required under this Section 13.B, the arbitrator appointed by the other Party shall be the sole arbitrator of the Dispute. The decision of the arbitrators (or such single arbitrator) shall be made within thirty (30) days of the close of the arbitration hearing, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties. The decision of a majority of the panel (or such single arbitrator) shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the Parties hereto, and may be enforced in any court having jurisdiction.

C.              The arbitration proceedings shall proceed as soon as practicable following the selection of the arbitrators, and, if practicable, commence within fifteen (15) following the written notice of one Party’s desire to settle a Dispute by arbitration. Neither Party will take any action or fail to take any action to delay such proceedings. The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in the English language and any monetary award shall be in U.S. dollars. The arbitrators (or such single arbitrator) shall not have the authority to award punitive, special, exemplary, incidental, indirect or consequential damages, regardless of whether a claim is based on contract, tort (including negligence), breach of fiduciary duty, strict liability, violation of any applicable deceptive trade practices act or similar law or any other legal or equitable principle, and except as otherwise provided in the Agreement, each Party’s maximum liability shall be limited to the lesser of any direct damages or $20 million, subject to the exceptions provided in Section 8 (Limitation of Liability).

D.             Use of the above dispute resolution procedures shall not constitute a waiver of any right of either Party.

E.               All negotiations connected with any Dispute shall be concluded in confidence and without prejudice to the rights of the Parties in any future proceedings.

18




F.               The Parties expressly agree that the previously-described dispute resolution proceedings, including any written decision by the arbitrators (or such single arbitrator), are confidential and shall not be disclosed for any purpose whatsoever without the written consent of the other Party.

G.              Notwithstanding anything herein contained in this Section 13, both Parties shall be entitled to (i) commence legal proceedings seeking such mandatory, declaratory or injunctive relief as may be necessary to define or protect their rights and enforce the obligations in an extraordinary situation in which such Party may incur irreparable damage in the period pending the settlement of a Dispute in accordance with the dispute resolution proceedings set forth in this Section 13; (ii) commence legal proceedings involving the enforcement of an arbitration decision arising out of this Agreement; or (iii) join any arbitration proceeding arising out of this Agreement with any other arbitration proceeding arising out of this Agreement.

14.          ASSIGNMENT; CHANGE OF CONTROL; NON-CIRCUMVENTION

A.            Assignment . The Agreement may not be assigned by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party, provided that the Agreement may be assigned upon written notice (a) to a Galileo Group Company or to a Subscriber entity or to an Orbitz Worldwide Agency(ies), as applicable; (b) in connection with a merger, acquisition, restructuring or sale of all or substantially all assets of either Party; or (c) as necessary to effectuate the change of control and non-circumvention requirements set forth below so long as the assignment does not reduce applicable Segment volumes or commitments, the assignee is not a direct competitor of the other Party and the assignee assumes the assignor’s duties/obligations under the Agreement.

B.              Change of Control . The Agreement shall survive any “Change of Control” of Travelport Limited. The Agreement shall survive any Change of Control of Subscriber or any of its related entities and will be binding upon successors, assigns and future owners of any of the foregoing. “ Change of Control ” means the sale or transfer of beneficial ownership of 50% or more of the voting securities or other ownership interests of a Party.

C.              Non-Circumvention . Neither Party shall, directly or indirectly, take or fail to take, nor permit any Galileo Group Company, as to Galileo, or any Orbitz entity or Orbitz Worldwide Agency, as to Orbitz, to take or fail to take, any action with the intent or effect of avoiding or otherwise circumventing any provision or the intent of the Parties of the Agreement, including, without limitation, the foregoing assignment and Change of Control provisions.

15.          AUDIT RIGHTS

One time per calendar year during the Term of this Agreement, Subscriber and Galileo shall each have the right, upon at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to the other Party, to inspect the records and other information collected, generated or maintained in connection with the Services provided and used pursuant to this Agreement, during normal business hours, for the purpose of determining the other Party’s compliance with this Agreement. The Party conducting the audit shall pay for all costs of such inspection, including all reports and any other information supplied, provided that in the event an audit reveals a discrepancy between amounts paid and amounts due (or other measurable obligation) of greater than 10%, then the audited Party will reimburse the auditing Party for the reasonable costs of the audit. Information disclosed to the auditing Party or to its auditing representative in the course of such inspection shall be subject to the confidentiality requirements of this Agreement. Any and all such audits shall be conducted through independent auditors mutually agreed by the Parties.

16.          RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER

On or before the date that is at least 180 days prior to the expiration of this Agreement, Galileo shall have the right to make an offer to provide GDS services to Subscriber following the expiration of this Agreement based upon information provided to Galileo by Subscriber in good faith to enable Galileo to prepare a complete written proposal for the provision of such services. Subscriber shall consider Galileo’s proposal in good faith, and provided the Parties agree to proceed, shall negotiate in good faith the terms and conditions for a new agreement for the provision of GDS services.

17.          ACCOUNT SUPPORT

Galileo shall provide Subscriber at Galileo’s cost and expense, two (2) full-time employees for the purposes of account support and management (“ Account Managers ”) with respect to the Galileo Services and the Worldspan Services. In

19




the event that the Worldspan Closing does not occur, then Galileo shall provide Subscriber one (1) full-time employee for such purposes with respect to the Galileo Services.

18.          COOPERATION

The Parties shall cooperate and facilitate discussions with Vendors with the goal of making Vendors and their Content available in the Travelport GDSs and of ensuring that any Vendor Content made available to the Orbitz Worldwide Agencies is also made available to the Travelport GDSs, even where such Content may be restricted to the Orbitz Worldwide Agencies. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, neither Party shall be precluded from entering into an agreement with a Vendor if the Vendor is unwilling to agree to particular terms desired by the Parties as a result of their cooperation.

19.          SERVICE LEVELS

A.     Up until the Worldspan Services Effective Date, no Service Level shall apply to the Galileo Services. If the Worldspan Closing does not occur, then Galileo and Subscriber will enter into, within 60 days following a definitive determination that the Worldspan Closing will not occur, a commercially reasonable Service Level Agreement to apply to the Galileo Services (“ Galileo Services Service Level Agreement ”).

B.     Within 60 days following the Worldspan Closing, Galileo and Subscriber will enter into a commercially reasonable Service Level Agreement to apply to the Worldspan Services (“ Worldspan Services Service Level Agreement ”).

C.     If the Parties are unable to agree on the terms of a Galileo Services Service Level Agreement or a Worldspan Services Service Level Agreement within 60 days following the Worldspan Closing or the determination that the Worldspan Closing will not occur, as the case may be, then the decision regarding the applicable Service Level Agreement shall be resolved by arbitration pursuant to Section 13.

20.          MATERIAL REVENUE CHANGE

In the event that, due to market conditions or for competitive reasons, Galileo decreases by (***) percent (***%) or more on a cumulative basis the total of Participation Fees (as defined in Section 1.EE) payable to Galileo for all Segments booked via the Orbitz Worldwide Agencies through either the Galileo Services or Worldspan Services on a country-by-country basis below the Participation Fees in effect as of December 31, 2007 ( the “Fee Change” ), then, effective as of the date of the Fee Change (“Fee Change Effective Date” ), the Segment Incentives provided under this Agreement in the relevant country in connection with the particular Services affected shall be reduced by (***) of the amount of the Fee Change percentage; provided that once Galileo is earning less than $(***) in Participation Fees per Segment (after deduction of the applicable Segment Incentives), then the Segment Incentives shall be decreased by the full amount of the Fee Change percentage; and provided further that no decrease in any Segment Incentive will take effect until (***). The calculation of whether a Fee Change has occurred regarding the United States will not include Participation Fees for Vendors who have commenced participation in the Content Continuity Program subsequent to the Contract Effective Date and for whom Subscriber has paid Program Fees during the Term. For example, assume Galileo decreased its Participation Fees in the United States in connection with the Apollo CRS in the (***) (***)(calculated pursuant to the terms of this Section 20 regarding new Content Continuity Program-participating Vendors) and such decreases resulted in a cumulative (***)% decrease in the Participation Fees for all Segments booked via the Orbitz Domestic Agencies using the Apollo CRS (in the United States) below the Participation Fees in effect as of December 31, 2007 (in the United States), the Segment Incentive set forth on the Custom Terms and Conditions Attachment (Galileo Services) – North America shall be decreased by (***)% (i.e., (***) of (***)%) effective as of (***), assuming that Galileo was earning more than $(***) in Participation Fees per Segment after deduction of the applicable Segment Incentive.

23.          FORCE MAJEURE

A.            Neither Party shall be deemed to be in breach of this Agreement or liable for any delays in performing or failure to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement as contemplated hereunder if the delay or failure was due to a cause beyond the reasonable control of, and was not the fault or negligence of, the affected Party (including acts of

21




God, war or threat of war, civil unrest or commotion, natural or nuclear disaster, epidemic, terrorist activity, explosion, fire, flood, adverse weather conditions, telecommunications line failures, strike, labor dispute, work stoppage, any act or order of central or local government, or of any law enforcement or quasi-legal or judicial authority, or acts or omissions of any telecommunications supplier) (“ Force Majeure ”).

B.              Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party may not claim as Force Majeure the willful act or negligence of or failure to take all reasonable precautions by that Party.

C.              If either Party is prevented or delayed in the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement by Force Majeure, that Party shall forthwith serve notice in writing on the other Party specifying the nature and extent of the circumstances giving rise to Force Majeure, and shall, subject to service of such notice and having taken all reasonable steps to avoid such prevention or delay and subject to Section 23.F. below, have no liability in respect of the performance of such of its obligations as are prevented by the Force Majeure events during the continuation of such events, and for such time after they cease as is necessary for that Party, using all reasonable endeavors, to recommence its affected operations in order for it to perform its obligations.

D.             If a Force Majeure event occurs, the date(s) for performance of the obligations affected will be postponed for so long as is (and to the extent that it is) reasonably made necessary by the continuation of such circumstance or event.

E.               If any material obligation of either Party pursuant to, under and in connection with this Agreement is delayed as contemplated by Section 23.A. above for longer than 3 months, then either Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement forthwith on written notice to the other in which case neither Party shall have any liability to the other except that rights and liabilities which accrued prior to such termination shall continue to subsist.

F.               The Party claiming to be prevented or delayed in the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement by reason of Force Majeure shall use reasonable endeavors without hereby being obliged to incur any expenditure or cost to bring the Force Majeure event to a close or to find a solution by which the Agreement may be performed despite the continuance of the Force Majeure event.

B.              Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to create any agency, partnership or joint venture relationship between the Parties.

C.              No waiver of any provision or breach of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any other provision or subsequent breach.
