Common use of Alternative Consideration Clause in Contracts

Alternative Consideration. (a) The Non-Managing Shareholder may, in its sole discretion, decide to pay some of the consideration it owes under a share purchase and transfer agreement entered into pursuant to Section 2.4 and Section 2.5, in the form of a number of shares of common stock of Expedia, Inc. as listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (ticker symbol: EXPE) (“EXPE Stock”); provided, that, before the Non-Managing Shareholder may offer a consideration in EXPE Stock, the Non-Managing Shareholder has to offer a cash consideration of at least (x) $104,100,000 in case of Shareholder 1, (y) $77,900,000 in case of Shareholder 2 and (z) $18,100,000 in case of Shareholder 3. The value of each share of EXPE Stock shall, for the purpose of determining the number of shares of EXPE Stock to be transferred as consideration, be equal to the closing price of a share of EXPE Stock as obtained from Bloomberg L.P. on the last trading day prior to the applicable Leaver Closing Date. In such event, each Managing Shareholder shall use reasonable efforts to provide such attestations to the Non-Managing Shareholder as are required to determine whether or not such Managing Shareholder is an accredited investor or non-U.S. Person under the Securities Act. (b) Subject to Section 2.7(c) and Section 2.7(d), on or prior to the date that is forty-five (45) days after the Bad Leaver Call Notice or the Good Leaver Put Notice (unless the Parent Guarantor is not eligible to register EXPE Stock for resale on Form S-3), the Parent Guarantor shall cause to be filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act for an offering to be made on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 thereunder or any similar rule that may be adopted by the SEC and permitting sales in ordinary course brokerage or dealer transactions not involving any underwritten public offering, covering the resale of all EXPE Stock previously issued to the Managing Shareholders. (c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Parent Guarantor may, by written notice to the Managing Shareholders, suspend sales under any Registration Statement after the effective date thereof and require that the Managing Shareholders immediately cease the sale of shares of the Managing Shareholder’s EXPE Stock pursuant thereto, or defer the filing of any Registration Statement if the board of directors of the Parent Guarantor determines in good faith, by appropriate resolutions, that, as a result of such activity, (A) it would be materially detrimental to the Parent Guarantor (other than as relating solely to the price of the EXPE Stock) to file or maintain a Registration Statement at such time or (B) it is in the best interests of the Parent Guarantor to suspend sales under such Registration Statement at such time. Upon receipt of such notice, each Managing Shareholder shall immediately discontinue any sales of EXPE Stock pursuant to such Registration Statement until such Managing Shareholder is advised in writing by the Parent Guarantor that the current Prospectus or amended Prospectus, as applicable, may be used. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parent Guarantor’s right to suspend sales under this Section 2.7 shall not be exercised: (i) beyond the period during which (in the good faith determination of the Parent Guarantor’s Board of Directors) the failure to require such suspension would be materially detrimental to the Parent Guarantor or (ii) for a period of no more than twenty (20) Trading Days at a time or more than three (3) times in any twelve-month period. Immediately after the end of any suspension period under this Section 2.7, the Parent Guarantor shall take all necessary actions (including filing any required supplemental prospectus) to restore the effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement and the ability of the Managing Shareholders to resell their EXPE Stock pursuant to such effective Registration Statement. (d) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Parent Guarantor to use reasonable best efforts to file the registration pursuant to this Section 2.7 with respect to the EXPE Stock of any particular Managing Shareholder that such Managing Shareholder shall (i) furnish to the Parent Guarantor a selling stockholder questionnaire in the form reasonably required in connection with the registration of such EXPE Stock by the Parent Guarantor (the “Selling Stockholder Questionnaire”) and such other information regarding itself, the EXPE Stock and other Shares held by it and the intended method of disposition of the EXPE Stock held by it as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such EXPE Stock and (ii) complete and execute such other documents in connection with such registration as the Non-Managing Shareholder may reasonably request.
