Both Parties agree to work together to help ensure that Subscriber’s code operates with the Travelport System in the most efficient way possible. The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Section is not intended to materially modify the manner in which Subscriber connects to and receives the Products and Services as of the Agreement Date. Travelport shall maintain sufficient capacity to accommodate reasonable fluctuations in demand and traffic.
G. 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 System, Subscriber will use reasonable business efforts to ensure that (i) the component’s use of Travelport System resources is reasonably efficient, (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 (ii) any hardware included in or used by the component meets Travelport’s reasonable requirements for compatibility, which will be
provided to Subscriber upon request. The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Section is not intended to materially modify the manner in which Subscriber connects to and receives Products and Services provided by the Travelport System as of the Agreement Date.
H. uAPI.
(1) The terms and conditions in the uAPI Addendum are incorporated by reference into this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt and without limiting the generality of any other payment-related provisions of this Agreement, *** for Existing Carriers and Segment Incentives for Existing Carriers will not change and will be payable in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement as if they had been made in the Travelport GDS, even if an Existing Carrier, such as ***, shifts some or all of its Content to the uAPI, including without limitation if such shifted Content becomes accessible only in the Air Content Hub available through the uAPI (the “ACH”). Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement (including without limitation any provision in the uAPI Addendum): ***. For the avoidance of doubt, Travelport may not charge Subscriber any fees or other amounts for Subscriber’s access, processing of reservations for, or other use of an Existing Carrier’s Content via the uAPI beyond those fees Subscriber could have incurred by accessing, processing reservations for, or otherwise using an Existing Carrier’s Content via the traditional Travelport GDS without using the uAPI (such fees being, the (i) Program Fees specified in Section II.C. in Attachment A and Sections A (Content Continuity Program) and B (Super Access Program) of Attachment F, and (ii) the excess Message fees set forth in Section IV of Attachment B to this Agreement). Travelport will use commercially reasonable efforts to give Subscriber at least *** notice prior to migrating any Existing Carrier from a Travelport GDS to the uAPI. “Existing Carriers” means *** and any and all air Vendors participating in any and all Travelport GDS(s) as of the Agreement Date with respect to whom Travelport is obligated to pay Segment Incentives to Subscriber under this Agreement.
(2) With respect to any air Vendor that is not an Existing Carrier, that does not participate in a Travelport System at or above the Full Service Level, and that begins
| Page 10 of 64 | Subscriber Services Agreement 100412 |
participation in the uAPI (either by accessing the GDS or in ACH or another content hub) after the Agreement Date (a “New Carrier”), Travelport shall, during the Term, provide (a) Orbitz Worldwide Agencies other than OFB with overall terms and conditions (including without limitation rates and charges) with respect to that New Carrier that are equal to or better than the most favorable overall terms and conditions (including without limitation rates and charges) with respect to the New Carrier provided by Travelport to any of ***, regardless of sales volume, and (b) OFB with overall terms and conditions (including without limitation rates and charges) with respect to that New Carrier that are equal to or better than the overall terms and conditions (including without limitation rates and charges) with respect to the New Carrier provided by Travelport to ***, regardless of sales volume.
(3) Subject to the limitations on Travelport’s ability to assess Subscriber charges, fees or other amounts under the above provisions regarding Existing Carriers and New Carriers in this Section 2.H, Travelport will not impose any charges, fees or other amounts on Subscriber in connection with Subscriber’s access and use of the uAPI other than (except as set forth above) as expressly set forth in this Agreement, including the uAPI Addendum.
3. Product Specific Provisions
A. Subscriber-Provided Internet Access. If Subscriber elects to access the Travelport System via its own Internet communications method such as DSL, ISDN or cable access (“User Access”), Subscriber will 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 System and the data contained therein, Travelport recommends that Subscriber establish a firewall. Travelport will have no responsibility whatsoever with respect to the User Access, including, but not limited to, the performance or reliability of the User Access.
B. LAN. If Subscriber elects to install and use its own local area network operating environment (“LAN”) to access the Travelport System: (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 a Travelport GDS at a Location will be equal to the number of DAs licensed by Subscriber from Travelport for that Travelport GDS at that Location; and (c) Subscriber will 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 System that is not provided by a Travelport Group Company, and for all expenses related thereto. Travelport will continue to provide Subscriber with DAs reasonably required to support access to the Products and Services at no additional charge. Travelport will not unreasonably withhold any additional DAs requested by Subscriber where the request is to support a reasonable business purpose of Subscriber, such as disaster recovery.
C. Selective Access. Upon request, Travelport will license to Subscriber the Travelport products marketed as Selective Access and Global Access, as described in Attachment B, whereby Subscriber may authorize another Travelport subscriber to access the client records entered into the Travelport System by Subscriber; provided, however, Travelport will have no responsibility or liability whatsoever with respect to such authorization or access.
D. Remote Users. If Subscriber elects to allow its Authorized Users to access a Travelport System from a remote location (“Remote Users”) via User Access, then in addition to the provisions set forth in Section 3.A above, the following shall apply: (i) Subscriber must ensure that each Remote User obtains and uses the appropriate hardware and software necessary to access such Travelport System in accordance with the relevant Documentation; (ii) unless otherwise agreed in writing with Travelport, Subscriber shall be responsible for: (a) installing the applicable software; (b) training each of its Remote Users; (c) ensuring that all Remote Users have adequate expertise in all areas of such Travelport System; and (d) obtaining, installing and configuring its selected browsing and e-mail packages; (iii) Travelport will not provide Remote Users with any training or support; and (iv) Travelport reserves the right
| Page 11 of 64 | Subscriber Services Agreement 100412 |
to discontinue the Remote Users’ access to such Travelport System upon *** prior written notice to Subscriber if Subscriber fails to meet any of the obligations under this Section 3.D.
E. Transmittal of Information via Internet. Travelport does not provide for electronic mail encryption (public and private keys) or virus detection and is not responsible for risks inherent in transmitting information via the Internet, including via electronic mail.
4. Charges; Payments; Credit & Reporting
A. Payments. Within *** after the end of each calendar month during a Contract Year, each Party will send the other an invoice or reconciliation statement itemizing in reasonable detail the invoiced charges owed to the invoicing Party by the other Party for the month then ended as based on the terms of this Agreement. The Parties will settle and pay the amounts due for a given month no later than *** after the end of that month. Past due balances will accrue interest at the rate of *** or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less. If this Agreement is terminated for any reason effective as of any date other than the last day of a calendar month, then within *** after the end of the calendar month in which the termination date occurs (i) for each transaction based amount payable hereunder, the applicable Party will be paid for the transactions completed before the termination date, and (ii) for each monthly amount payable hereunder, the applicable Party will be paid a pro rata portion of the monthly amount determined on the basis of the number of days in the applicable month prior to the termination date.
B. Segment Incentive Advance. Commencing on ***, and continuing thereafter unless and until (i) ***, or (ii) Orbitz is in material breach of any of its obligations under this Agreement and such breach is not cured within the applicable cure period, or (iii) Orbitz has not met any Annual Value Unit Commitment (each, a “Segment Incentive Advance Condition”), the following provisions shall apply:
(1) On the first working day of ***, Travelport shall pay to OWW, ***. This additional amount, as it may be adjusted from time to time in accordance with this Section 4.B, is referred to as the “Segment Incentive Advance”).
(2) On the first working day of each subsequent calendar month, in connection with its payment to OWW of the Segment Incentives then due (the “Current Segment Incentives Amount”), Travelport shall ***.
(3) If and when any Segment Incentive Advance Condition is satisfied, Travelport may apply the Segment Incentive Advance as a credit against any Segment Incentives payable to OWW at that time or thereafter and the foregoing provisions shall not be applicable.
(4) If after any Segment Incentive Advance Condition has been satisfied, thereafter all Segment Incentives Advance Conditions again become applicable ***.
(5) If there is a Segment Incentive Advance at the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, then the remaining Segment Incentive Advance shall be payable to Travelport on or before the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
So as to be able to clearly distinguish payments or adjustment to any Segment Incentive Advance from payments of Current Segment Incentive Amounts, Travelport will separately itemize any Segment Incentive Advance payment or credit amount in a statement to be delivered simultaneous with the payment of each applicable Current Segment Incentives Amount.
As an example of the Segment Incentive Advance procedure contemplated by this Section B, assume that at all applicable times all Segment Incentive Advance Conditions are applicable and that the Current Segment Incentives Amount for ***.
B. Charges. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, all charges in connection with this Agreement are set forth on Attachments A and B (the “Charges”). The Charges may not change over the Term, unless the Parties mutually agree in writing.
C. Tax Withholding and Deductions. Each Party will pay any taxes, duty, levy or impost to be withheld or deducted in respect of any amount due to the other Party where and to the extent it is required to perform such a withholding or deduction under applicable tax law.
| Page 12 of 64 | Subscriber Services Agreement 100412 |
If either Party is required by law to make any tax deduction or withholding in relation to any payment under this Agreement, it will: (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.
If the Party making the payment has failed to fulfil its obligations under this Section, it will increase the amount of its payment to the other Party by such an amount as to enable the other Party to receive the sums it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required.
D. Currency. All monetary amounts expressed in this Agreement are stated in United States dollars, unless otherwise noted. Unless otherwise mutually agreed, all payments under this Agreement will be made in United States dollars. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree that regarding all payments made by Travelport to Subscriber under this Agreement, those with respect to business in North America will be paid by TLP and those with respect to business in Europe will be paid by TBV.
E. Set-Off. The Parties agree that in the ordinary course of business, any undisputed amounts owed by one Party to the other Party under this Agreement will be netted off against any amounts owed by the other Party to such Party under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the right of offset referred to in this Section relates only to payments and does not affect each Party’s obligation to issue invoices for the amounts being offset.
F. Automated Clearing House Payments. Travelport will pay any amounts due to Subscriber by Automated Clearing House payment to the account designated by Subscriber and on file with Travelport. If any payment due to Subscriber is less than ***, Travelport reserves the right to defer such
payment until the total due to Subscriber equals or exceeds *** or until the next year anniversary of the Contract Effective Date, whichever comes first. Payment will not deemed to have been made until funds are available in the account designated by the Subscriber.
G. Taxes. In addition to any other charges or sums payable to Travelport under this Agreement, Subscriber will pay when due all applicable sales, use, value added and excise taxes (together with any related interest or penalties not arising from fault on the part of Travelport), now or hereafter imposed by any local or foreign tax authority, or governmental agency or other similar bodies arising out of or in connection with this Agreement. However, Subscriber will not be responsible for any taxes payable or based on Travelport’s net income, payroll, or capital or for franchise taxes. Upon either Party’s reasonable request, the other Party will provide reasonable assistance to the requesting Party in the filing of any documents or the making of any statement in connection with the recovery of any taxes referred to in this Section.
H. Disputes. Each Party may dispute the billing of the other Party in writing no later than *** after the billing date. Each Party waives any right to dispute a xxxx after such period has expired. Each Party will reimburse the other Party for any reasonable costs incurred by the other Party, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to collect amounts to be due under this Agreement if such amounts are determined to be payable by mutual agreement of the Parties or as a result of any arbitration award.
I. Reporting Requirements of Travelport.
(i) Segment Incentive Calculation. Each month, simultaneous with Travelport’s transmission of the Segment Incentive payments in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Travelport will deliver to Subscriber a report detailing the Segment Incentive calculations for the month then ended, which report shall include without limitation an itemization of the Segments for air, car and hotel reservations. Such report shall also include itemization of all set-offs as permitted in subparagraph (F) above. All reports shall be in reasonable detail so as to enable Subscriber to understand and evaluate them.
| Page 13 of 64 | Subscriber Services Agreement 100412 |
(ii) MIDT Data. *** during the Term and any Transition Services Period, Travelport shall forward via an electronic file to Subscriber the following information:
(A) The number of MIDT segments generated by Subscriber and each of its Affiliates (providing separate data for each) in North America; and
(B) The aggregated number of MIDT segments generated by ***.
The above data will be expressed as day by day (versus weekly or monthly). To the extent possible, the above reporting will be based on net active segments as defined in MIDT.
K. Incremental Monetary Benefits ***. For the consideration outlined in this Agreement, it is agreed that the cumulative effect of the payments associated with the Segment Incentives specified in Section II.A of Attachment A and the *** specified in Section II.B of Attachment A will result in ***, as determined in accordance with the provisions of this Section. Within *** after the end of ***, Travelport will calculate, in good faith and in accordance with applicable financial standards, and report to OWW the Incremental Quarterly Amount (as defined below) for that quarter. *** For purposes of this Section:
(i) The “Incremental Quarterly Amount” means, for a given calendar quarter of ***, (x) the Current Quarterly Payment for that quarter, minus (y) the Would-Be Quarterly Payment for that quarter.
(ii) The “Current Quarterly Payment” means, for a given calendar quarter in ***, (x) the amount paid by Travelport in Segment Incentives (net of Program Fees) for that quarter under this Agreement, minus (y) the amount received by Travelport in *** for that quarter under this Agreement.
(iii) The “Would-Be Quarterly Payment” means, for a given calendar quarter in ***, (x) the amount that would have been paid by Travelport in Segment Incentives (net of Program Fees and any other fees equivalent to “Program Fees” as that term is defined in this Agreement) for that quarter under the 2007 Agreement (as it and material relationships with Vendors existed as of ***),
minus (y) the amount that would have been received by Travelport from Subscriber in *** (defining *** in the same manner as defined in this Agreement) for that quarter under the 2007 Agreement (as it and material relationships with Vendors existed as of ***). For the avoidance of doubt, *** are the only air Vendors with whom Orbitz was in a *** as of *** (all other air Vendors generating Segments are “retail” air Vendors).
If during *** Orbitz enters into a new *** with any ***, the Parties will review the Current Quarterly Payment then projected for upcoming calendar quarters in ***, and will agree upon any adjustments to the applicable provisions of this Agreement that may be necessary to more closely achieve the intent and objective specified in the first paragraph of this Section 4.K. For the avoidance of doubt, the above quarterly adjustment process shall not be impacted insofar as *** are concerned as long as *** remains a retail air Vendor as it was ***.
5. Segment Incentives
A. Segment Incentives. Travelport agrees to pay Subscriber the Segment Incentives as set forth in Attachment A.
B. Subscriber Protections ***. If during the Term a new air Vendor commences participation in the Travelport System at *** and during the then immediately preceding *** the air Vendor’s total passengers boarded (as identified through public industry sources) for the air Vendor’s primary geographic region was greater than *** of Subscriber’s total Segments made in the applicable geographic region during the same time period, then the Parties will mutually agree on the Segment Incentive rate and other related terms for access to the air Vendor’s Content. Similarly, if during the Term an existing *** Vendor changes its participation level in the Travelport System to *** and during the then immediately preceding *** the total Segments made by Subscriber for such air Vendor was more than one percent of Subscriber’s total Segments made during the same time period, then the Parties will mutually agree on the Segment Incentive rate and other related terms for access to the air Vendor’s Content. For the avoidance of doubt, if the above provisions are not applicable, then, unless otherwise mutually agreed, the Segment Incentive rate and other
| Page 14 of 64 | Subscriber Services Agreement 100412 |
related terms that will apply to Subscriber for access to the Content of an air Vendor participating in the Travelport System *** will be the Segment Incentive rate and other related terms that normally apply to Travelport‘s subscriber base for that air Vendor. Travelport shall periodically provide a report to Subscriber listing each air Vendor then participating in the Travelport System *** on which Orbitz then regularly books reservations and for which the Parties have not agreed on the Segment Incentive rate and other related terms for access to the air Vendor’s Content (each, a “***”). The determination of whether an air Vendor’s participation in a Travelport System *** shall be based on a firmwide determination that is uniformly applied to all Travelport subscribers; Travelport may not determine that certain air Vendors *** under this Agreement if they do not, at the same time, make the same determination relative to all Travelport subscribers. Travelport represents that over the *** preceding the Agreement Date, none of *** (each, a “Major Air Vendor”) has been ***. Travelport shall not use this Section 5.B to circumvent the intent of this Agreement in an effort to reduce its payment obligations to Subscriber under this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, as between the Parties, in no event during the Term may any Major Air Vendor be classified as *** for purposes of this Agreement.
6. Flexibility
Commencing as of the Contract Effective Date, the following provisions will apply:
A. General. Except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, Orbitz shall have no volume commitments to Travelport nor shall Orbitz be subject to any exclusivity requirements relative to Travelport whatsoever. Toward this end, except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, Orbitz shall have complete flexibility to determine when and where it shall send its volume, be it to a Travelport System or to any Alternative Distribution Channel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Orbitz commits as provided in the following sections of this Section 6:
B. Orbitz Commitments.
(1) During ***, Orbitz will comply with the provisions in Section 2 of Attachment H.
(2) During *** Orbitz will process on the Travelport System, using commercially reasonable efforts to do so on a reasonably even basis, a number of Segments that is sufficient to generate at least the number of Value Units equal to the Annual Value Unit Commitment for that Contract Year. In addition, during the period from ***, Orbitz will process on the Travelport System, on a schedule determined by OWW, ***. For the avoidance of doubt, in any given Contract Year during this period, Orbitz may choose to process on a Travelport System Segments ***.
In addition, for the avoidance of doubt, any Value Unit generated in a given Contract Year that is above the Annual Value Unit Commitment for that Contract Year, will not ***.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the sole and exclusive remedy of Travelport for any breach by Subscriber of the provisions in this Section 6.B shall be the payment of shortfall fees as set forth in Section II.A of Attachment A, and Travelport may not terminate this Agreement or seek any other form of remedy for any breach by Subscriber of the provisions in this Section 6.B.
C. Direct Connections. Prior to January 1, 0000, Xxxxxx will not, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, make bookings through any direct connect relationships other than its Supplier Link relationships in effect as of the Agreement Date. Thereafter, in addition to its existing Supplier Link relationships, Orbitz may, at its option, make bookings through any Alternative Distribution Channel, including through any direct connect relationship with any air carrier or air carriers, but Orbitz will remain at all relevant times subject to the commitments in Section 6.B above.
D. Alternative Distribution Channels. Orbitz may, in its sole discretion but subject to the provisions in Section 6.B above, process any or all of its reservations on Alternative Distribution Channels, which for the avoidance of doubt include without limitation, global distribution systems other than the Travelport System or any direct connects with Vendors.
| Page 15 of 64 | Subscriber Services Agreement 100412 |
7. Content
Travelport shall provide Subscriber with the content warranty expressed in Section 8.A(iii). Beginning on the Agreement Date, Travelport may not target or discriminate against Orbitz versus ***, with respect to the Participation Fees that Travelport charges Vendors in Vendor agreements, and Travelport may not mention or refer to Orbitz or otherwise include Orbitz-related language in any Vendor agreements without Subscriber’s prior written consent after full disclosure of such language and relevant contextual details. For so long as Orbitz processes *** on the Travelport System, if Orbitz requests that Travelport make available through a Travelport System any applicable content, such as ancillary content, that Orbitz acquires from such carrier, then Travelport will use commercially reasonable efforts to make such content available to Orbitz through such Travelport System for use by Orbitz in connection with its various websites within a commercially reasonable time after receiving the request from Orbitz. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement but subject to the following provisions of this Section 7, in no event shall Subscriber be responsible to pay Travelport, in any given month during ***, any additional fees (including as set forth in Attachment A, Section II.A.), penalties, damages or other amounts in the event that such fees, penalties, damages or other amounts are attributable to GDS bookings that were not processed on the Travelport System after a Materiality Trigger (as defined below) because to make those bookings Subscriber was required to use an Alternative Distribution Channel to access Material Content (as defined below) that was not at that time available in a Travelport System. For purposes of this Section 7, (i) “Materiality Trigger” means an instance where Material Content was not available through a Travelport System for a period of ***, and (ii) “Material Content” means a Vendor’s (or Vendors’) content that is generally available through GDSs and is sufficient so that, in the 3-month period immediately preceding the month in which the Materiality Trigger occurred, the Segments made using that content comprised on average each month *** of all the segments booked by Subscriber (whether on a Travelport System or an Alternative Distribution Channel). So, for example, in the event of a Materiality Trigger,
***. The determination of (i) the scope of such diverted segments will be, for segments on each affected Vendor, based on the percentage of that Vendor’s segments being processed by Subscriber on the Travelport System to that Vendor’s segments being processed on all GDSs (including the Travelport System), as determined on the basis of the segments processed during the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which the Materiality Trigger occurs; and (ii) the mix of such diverted segments will be, for segments on each affected air Vendor, based on the mix of segments for that air Vendor being processed on the Travelport System during the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which the Materiality Trigger occurs.
8. Representations, Warranties and Covenants
A. Travelport Warranties. Travelport represents, warrants and covenants that:

| Page 16 of 64 | Subscriber Services Agreement 100412 |
or systemic defects, to the extent the modification or modifications were made by Travelport, its Affiliates, contractors or others over whom Travelport has control. Upon any Subscriber notification to Travelport in writing of a material defect in any System Software, Travelport will confirm the existence of such defect with Subscriber’s reasonable cooperation, and then either correct or replace (with functionally equivalent software) any defective System Software within a commercially reasonable timeframe under the circumstances, taking into account the priority and criticality of the defect to Orbitz. The remedies available under this Section are exclusive of any other remedy, new or hereafter existing at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise for breach of this Section.
(iii) Content Warranty. At all times during the Term and any Transition Services Period, Travelport warrants that it shall provide to Subscriber and its Affiliates via the Products and Services all Public Content that Travelport and its Affiliates provide or make available to *** as and when Travelport and/or its Affiliates make such Public Content available to ***.

In the event that any Content as presented through the Travelport System is inaccurate or incomplete, then Travelport shall as soon as reasonably practicable upon becoming aware of the inaccuracy or incompleteness, correct the inaccuracy or incompleteness. In the event that either Party becomes aware of the inaccuracy of any content, information or data related to the Content, such Party will promptly notify the other Party and both Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts and diligently work to correct the inaccuracy and mitigate the effects of such inaccuracy.
B. Travelport Covenants.
(i) Financial Statements. If and when Travelport Limited ceases to file periodic financial statements with the SEC and for so long thereafter as Orbitz processes at least *** of its travel reservations on the Travelport System, Travelport will provide OWW with the same financial statements that Travelport Limited or its direct or indirect parents periodically provide to its/their debt holders when Travelport Limited or its direct or indirect parents provide them to such debt holders. OWW agrees to treat such financial statements as Confidential Information of Travelport.
(ii) Service Delivery Continuity Standards. Throughout the Term, Travelport will maintain a secure data processing facility and will make nightly copies of data and store such data at a separate, secure location, nightly. Travelport will maintain a service delivery continuity plan during the Term. The design and level of component redundancy of the facility, network connectivity, and deployed systems contained in the service delivery continuity plan will be sufficient to ensure that Travelport can continue to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement following a potential disruption of service, disaster, or interruption of its ordinary business process, but excluding the complete destruction of the facility. Travelport’s service delivery continuity plan will have a recovery time objective of 24 hours.
(iii) Disaster Recovery. During the Term and any Transition Services Period Travelport will maintain disaster prevention and recovery capabilities that are at least comparable to its current capabilities as described on Attachment E.

E. Mutual Warranty. Each Party represents and warrants that its execution of this Agreement and the exercise of its rights and the performance of its obligations hereunder does not constitute and will not result in any breach of any agreement to which it is a party.
9. Limitation of Liability

10. Term and Termination; Transition and Run-Off Services
A. Term. This Agreement is effective for a period of time (“Term”) that will commence upon the Contract Effective Date and will continue until December 31, 2018 or such earlier date upon which this Agreement may be terminated as set forth in this Agreement.
B. Termination. Either Party (the “Terminating Party”) may terminate this Agreement upon *** written notice (or earlier if for failure to timely pay as set forth in (v) below) to the other Party (the “Defaulting Party”) and may also pursue any and all legal and equitable remedies available to the terminating party if any of the following occurs (each, an “Event of Default”): (i) a Defaulting Party is subject to any insolvency proceeding or seeks formal protection against creditors under any applicable law that is reasonably likely to impede its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement; (ii) a receiver or custodian of a Defaulting Party’s assets is appointed; (iii) a Defaulting Party ceases to do business or otherwise ceases or suspends operations for reasons other than an event of Force Majeure; (iv) the Defaulting Party commits a material breach of any obligations under this Agreement or any addenda, attachment, schedule or amendment to this Agreement (other than payment obligations, which are addressed in (v) below), and either (a) the breach is not cured within *** from the date that the Defaulting Party receives the Terminating Party’s written notice of the breach, or (b) a cure of the breach is impossible or impracticable; (v) the Defaulting Party fails to remit any payment when due and the failure is not cured within *** after receiving the Terminating Party’s written notice of the breach

19. Cooperation
The Parties will cooperate and facilitate discussions with Vendors with the goal of making Vendors and their Content available in the Travelport System and of ensuring that any Vendor Content made available to the Orbitz Worldwide Agencies is also made available to the Travelport System, even where such Content may be restricted to the Orbitz Worldwide Agencies.
20. Service Levels
During the Term, Travelport shall meet or exceed all of the service level requirements set forth in Attachment D and incorporated by reference into this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, if at any time Subscriber has good faith concerns with the uptime, response times or other support provided by Travelport, the Parties will, at the request of Subscriber, engage in good faith discussions, first at the account management team level and subsequently, if needed, at the senior executive level, in an effort to agree upon a corrective course of action to remedy Subscriber’s concerns within a reasonable period of time after the request is made. Without limiting the provisions above in this paragraph, Travelport shall at all times use commercially reasonable efforts to provide service levels to each of the Orbitz websites (including those websites of the Distribution Partners) that meet or exceed the service levels
| Page 24 of 64 | Subscriber Services Agreement 100412 |
that Travelport provides to each website of any other online travel agency using a Travelport System. So long as Travelport is using commercially reasonable efforts to meet such service level requirements and to implement any such corrective course of action, any failure of Travelport to meet any such service level requirements will not (a) be considered a breach of this Agreement, or (b) entitle Subscriber to any compensation or damages in addition to the Service Credits specified in Attachment D. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, if a Material Service Level Failure occurs at any time during the Term or any Transition Services Period, then Subscriber may migrate any or all of its would-be Segments to an Alternative Distribution Channel and, subject to the provisions of the following sentence, not be responsible for paying any damages, penalties or any other compensation to Travelport therefor, including any shortfall fees as set forth in Section II.A of Attachment A. Subject to the provisions below in this Section 20, when Travelport resolves the Material Service Level Failure, Travelport shall give written notice to Subscriber of such resolution and Subscriber must as soon as commercially reasonable, but in any event within *** thereafter either redirect to the Travelport System any Segment volume that was so migrated or become responsible for any shortfall fees to the extent they are eventually incurred as set forth in Section II.A of Attachment A. If and when Subscriber migrates to an Alternative Distribution Channel any segments as a result of a Material Service Level Failure and that migration makes it commercially unreasonable for Orbitz to book on the Travelport System sufficient Segments to meet any Annual Value Unit Commitment or Flex Value Unit Commitment, then Orbitz may report to Travelport any segments so migrated that could not be replaced by Orbitz using commercially reasonable efforts (“Service Level Diverted Segments”), and the Value Units associated with the Service Level Diverted Segments shall count toward Orbitz’s Annual Value Unit Commitment and Flex Value Unit Commitment (as applicable) as if such Service Level Diverted Segments had been booked on a Travelport System. The determination of (i) the scope of Service Level Diverted Segments will be, for segments on each affected Vendor, based on the percentage of that Vendor’s segments being processed by Subscriber on the Travelport
System to that Vendor’s segments being processed by Subscriber on all GDSs (including the Travelport System), as determined on the basis of the segments processed during the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which the Material Service Level Failure occurs; and (ii) the mix of Service Level Diverted Segments will be, for segments on each affected air Vendor, based on the mix of segments for that air Vendor being processed on the Travelport System during the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which the Material Service Level Failure occurs. For purposes of this Section, a “Material Service Level Failure” means, for reasons other than a Force Majeure, a Severity Level 1 Problem, as defined in Attachment D, that continues and is un-resolved for longer than the restoration period specified in Attachment D. Without limiting the provisions above in this paragraph, Travelport shall at all times use commercially reasonable efforts to provide service levels to each of the Orbitz websites (including those websites of the Distribution Partners) that meet or exceed the service levels that Travelport provides to each website of any other online travel agency using a Travelport GDS.
21. Subscriber Terms and Conditions Commitment
Travelport will provide the Products and Services on commercial terms and conditions not less favorable overall than the overall terms and conditions offered by Travelport to any other U.S. online travel agency delivering equivalent or lesser segment volumes. In determining the relative favorability of the overall terms and conditions, Travelport may also consider factors such as geographic and business (corporate vs. leisure) mix.

| Page 26 of 64 | Subscriber Services Agreement 100412 |
necessary for that Party, using all reasonable endeavors, to recommence its affected operations in order for it to perform its obligations.
D. Postponement of Performance. If a Force Majeure occurs, the date(s) for performance (by either Party) 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 Force Majeure.
E. Termination. If performance of any material obligation of either Party pursuant to, under and in connection with this Agreement is excused as contemplated by Section 23.A above for longer than 3 months, then either Party will have the right to terminate this Agreement forthwith on written notice to the other, in which case neither Party will have any liability to the other except that rights and liabilities which accrued prior to such termination will continue to subsist.
F. Closing of Force Majeure Event. The Party claiming to be prevented or delayed in the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement by reason of Force Majeure will use reasonable endeavors without hereby being obliged to incur any expenditure or cost to bring the Force Majeure to a close or to find a solution by which the Agreement may be performed despite the continuance of the Force Majeure event.
24. General
A. Trade Sanctions. Each Party acknowledges that the ability of the other Party to perform under this Agreement is subject to compliance by such other Party and its Affiliates with applicable laws, rules and regulations, including but not limited to applicable trade sanctions implemented at the local, regional, and international level (collectively, “Trade Sanctions”). Each Party agrees that any refusal or failure by the other Party to perform hereunder on account of compliance with Trade Sanctions or other legal requirements shall not constitute a breach of any obligation under this Agreement.

C. Relationship of Parties. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or will be construed to create any agency, partnership or joint venture relationship between the Parties.

E. Enforceability. If any provision of this Agreement, in any respect, is either held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by any court or competent authority; or rendered invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by the introduction of, or change in, any statute, regulation, applicable code or other ordinance, then such provision will be deemed deleted from this Agreement without prejudice to the remaining provisions hereof, which will continue in full force and effect notwithstanding such deletion, and Travelport and Subscriber will thereupon negotiate in good faith a substitute provision that is valid, legal and enforceable and most closely equates to the intention of the Parties as contemplated by this Agreement.
F. Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of any permitted litigation relating to this Agreement, the prevailing Party will be entitled to receive from the other Party reimbursement of the prevailing Party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and court costs.
G. Equitable Relief. Each Party agrees that the Products and Services to be provided by Travelport in this Agreement, the direct connect commitments made by Orbitz in Section 6.C, and the responsibilities of both Parties in Section 12 are unique and that each Party is agreeing to obligations to the other, the breach of which (other than the failure to pay money when due) would cause irreparable injury to the other Party for which money damages would not constitute an adequate remedy. Accordingly, each Party agrees that in the event of a breach by it of its obligations to the other specified
| Page 27 of 64 | Subscriber Services Agreement 100412 |
above (other than an obligation to pay money) it consents to the entry of a decree of specific performance against it and agrees not to interpose any objection that money damages constitute an adequate remedy.

ATTACHMENT A
PAYMENTS
I. General
The economic provisions set forth in this Attachment A will be in effect from the Contract Effective Date through the Term. Note that there are additional economic terms set forth in Attachment H that will be in effect during Contract Year ***.
II. Segment Incentives and Other Fees
| A. | Segment Incentives. |
Commencing as of January 1, 2014, the Segment Incentives payable to Orbitz by Travelport will be as follows:
***
* For Contract Year 2015 and each subsequent Contract Year, (i) the Segment Incentives in the Lower Tier column will be payable for Segments made in Phase I of that Contract Year, and (ii) the Segment Incentives in the Higher Tier column will be payable for Segments made in Phase II of that Contract Year. For the avoidance of doubt, the Segment Incentives in the Higher Tier column do not apply on a “Segment 1” basis to all Segments made in the applicable Contract Year.
** These rates are subject to the following exceptions:
(1) During Contract Year 2014, these rates will not apply for Segments on *** made using the Worldspan GDS and instead the Segment Incentive rate will be ***.
(2) During Contract Year 2014, these rates will not apply for Segments on ***made using the Apollo GDS and instead the rates set forth in Section 3.I of Attachment H will apply for those Segments.
(3) During the Term, these rates will not apply for Segments made on *** and instead the rates set forth in Section V of Attachment B will apply for those Segments.
If ***, the Orbitz Worldwide Agencies materially breach the commitments in Section 2 of Attachment H, then Orbitz will pay Travelport a shortfall fee of *** for each Segment by which the actual number of Segments made in *** is less than the number of Segments that would have been made in *** if the Orbitz Worldwide Agencies had not breached the commitments in Section 2 of Attachment H and, notwithstanding any other provision in the Agreement, such payment shall be Travelport’s sole and exclusive remedy for any violation or violations by Orbitz of the terms and conditions in Section 2 of Attachment H.
***, in which the Orbitz Worldwide Agencies fail to make the number of Segments necessary to generate the number of Value Units equal to the Annual Value Unit Commitment for that Contract Year, Orbitz will pay Travelport a shortfall fee of *** for each Value Unit by which the actual number of Value Units generated in that Contract Year is less than the Annual Value Unit Commitment for that Contract Year. In addition, if during the period from ***, the Orbitz Worldwide Agencies fail to make the number of Segments necessary to generate the number of Incremental Value Units equal to the Flex Value Unit Commitment, Orbitz will pay Travelport a shortfall fee of *** for each Value Unit by which the actual number of Incremental Value Units generated during that period is less than the Flex Value Unit Commitment. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Agreement, the payments described in this paragraph shall be Travelport’s sole and exclusive remedy for any violation or violations by Orbitz of the terms and conditions in Section 6.B(2).
| Page 31 of 64 | Subscriber Services Agreement 100412 |
B. *** for *** Segments. Commencing as of ***: (1) the applicable Orbitz Domestic Agency will notify Travelport of each air Vendor domiciled in *** (each, an “Eligible Air Vendor”)) that is or has become a *** and of the Segments on that air Vendor’s flights that will be ***; and (2) an Orbitz Domestic Agency may switch to or from a *** with any Eligible Air Vendor as and when it and the Eligible Air Vendor agree in accordance with the below provisions. The applicable Orbitz Domestic Agencies will be provided access to the Travelport System and associated products and support services under this Agreement for the purposes of enabling the Orbitz Domestic Agency to make ***. As part of an Orbitz Domestic Agency’s Wholesale Relationship with an Eligible Air Vendor and in exchange for the *** Fees payable to Travelport pursuant to this Section, Travelport may not directly or indirectly receive from such air Vendor any Participation Fee relating to any *** on that air Vendor; provided, however, that Travelport shall not be prevented from receiving any ancillary product fee (such as a fee for checked bags), advertising, marketing or data-related fee otherwise payable by the air Vendor to Travelport. Insofar as that Eligible Air Vendor is concerned, Orbitz and such air Vendor will arrange between themselves all incentive payments for *** on that air Vendor. In the event an Orbitz Domestic Agency desires to enter into a *** with any Eligible Air Vendor, it may do so upon giving *** prior written notice to Travelport, and Travelport will use commercially reasonable efforts to ***. Unless otherwise mutually agreed, the *** shall be implemented effective as of the *** after the ***. Travelport may not do or fail to do anything that limits, disincents or prohibits ***. Orbitz may terminate a *** with an Eligible Air Vendor at any time upon *** prior written notice to Travelport, at which time Travelport will use commercially reasonable efforts *** as may be necessary to give effect to this change and ***. Unless otherwise mutually agreed, the termination of the *** shall be effective as of ***. When such termination becomes effective and assuming Travelport ***. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section II, for each ***, (i) Travelport will not be required to ***, and (ii) ***:
***
* For Contract Year *** and each subsequent Contract Year:
(1) The *** in the Phase I column will be payable for each *** made in Phase I of that Contract Year. In addition, at the end of Phase I (which could be the end of that Contract Year), the Parties will determine the percentage of the total number of Value Units made in Phase I (counting *** as ***) that were *** and, if that percentage is greater than ***, then Subscriber will pay Travelport an additional fee of *** for each *** made in Phase I that is in excess of *** of the total number of Value Units made in Phase I (counting *** as ***).
(2) The *** in the Phase II column will be payable for each *** made in Phase II of that Contract Year. For the avoidance of doubt, the *** in the Phase II column does not apply on a “Segment 1” basis to all *** made in the applicable Contract Year.
Promptly after the end of each applicable Contract Year, the Parties will review the *** made in that Contract Year and, if necessary, reconcile the *** paid for that Contract Year so that they conform to the preceding provisions.
The Parties acknowledge and agree that in some cases, an Eligible Air Vendor may be a *** for Segments made by OFB and a *** for Segments made by other Orbitz Domestic Agencies (as in the case of *** where, as of the Agreement Date, it is a *** for Segments made by OFB but a *** for all other Segments). In these cases, those Segments with ARCs booked under the *** with that air Vendor will be deemed to be ***, and those Segments booked with ARCs under the *** with that air-Vendor will not be deemed to be ***. The definition of *** shall be deemed modified to reflect this nuance.
| Page 32 of 64 | Subscriber Services Agreement 100412 |
Unless the Parties otherwise mutually agree, (i) the foregoing provisions of this Section B, will not apply to Segments on flights operated by the *** but marketed and offered for sale by another carrier (the “Marketing Carrier”) where Travelport charges the Marketing Carrier, rather than the ***, Participation Fees for those Segments, and (ii) in those situations, Travelport will pay Orbitz the Segment Incentives applicable to the Marketing Carrier. With respect to ***, the provisions set forth in Sections 5.B and 5.C of Attachment H will continue to be applicable as long as Travelport and *** have in effect an agreement consistent with those provisions, and thereafter the Parties will negotiate in good faith to agree upon successor provisions.
C. Program Fees. Commencing as of ***, Subscriber will pay Travelport for each Segment made for a flight on a CCP Carrier (as that term is defined in Attachment F) or on a SAP Carrier (as that term is defined in Attachment F) a program fee of *** per Segment, except that for ***, Subscriber shall not be obligated to pay any such fees until ***. In addition, Orbitz will pay Travelport the following program fees for every Segment created in connection with a POS in ***:
(i) *** on each *** Segment (active or Passive Segment) booked for the following *** fare classes: ***; and
(ii) *** on each *** Segment (active or Passive Segment) booked for the following fare classes: ***.
The fare classes shown above are subject to change from time to time upon agreement between *** and Travelport provided that Travelport may not make any changes to the fare classes unless such changes are made on a firmwide basis and applied uniformly to all of its similarly situated subscribers. Travelport will provide Subscriber with *** prior written notice of any such change. The program fees listed above in this Section C are also referred to elsewhere in this Agreement and Attachments as “Program Fees.”
D. Passive Segment Fees. If at any time during the Term, Orbitz creates Passive Segments, Travelport will notify Orbitz and Orbitz will thereafter either (i) cease creating Passive Segments, or (ii) pay *** for any Passive Segment created by Orbitz.
III. Migration Bonus
If Orbitz migrates all of Orbitz’s travel business in *** to the Travelport System on or before *** and commits to keep that business on the Travelport System for the remainder of the Term, then within *** following the date on which all such travel business has been so migrated, Travelport will pay OWW a migration bonus equal to ***. After that migration, and notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section III, the Segment Incentive for all air Segments for flights on *** made by ebookers *** will be ***.
IV. OFB Conversion Bonus ***
A. OFB Conversion Bonus. In connection with End-to-End Business, from the Agreement Date and through ***, Travelport will pay Orbitz for Business (OFB) a one-time amount of *** per Segment (“Conversion Bonus”) for each Segment made by a Converted Corporate Account during the 12-month Reconciliation Period described below. A “Converted Corporate Account” is an OFB End-to-End Business customer that (a) previously used a non-Travelport GDS for corporate bookings, and converts to using a Travelport System and, (b) signs a Travelport Corporate Incentive Agreement (or its equivalent) for a term of at least *** years. Within *** after the full execution of the Corporate Incentive Agreement, Travelport will pay OFB a preliminary Conversion Bonus calculated as follows: *** x (number of segments booked by the Converted Corporate Account in the *** prior to the Corporate Incentive Agreement per a booking report of the prior GDS (“Estimated Converted Bookings”)). Within *** following the implementation completion date of each Converted Corporate Account Travelport will perform a true-up to reconcile the Converted Corporate Account’s actual converted Segments (“Actual Converted Bookings”)
| Page 33 of 64 | Subscriber Services Agreement 100412 |
made during the *** preceding the true-up (the “Reconciliation Period”) against the Estimated Converted Bookings. If the Actual Converted Bookings are greater than the Estimated Converted Bookings, then the difference will be multiplied by *** and such amount will be paid by Travelport to OFB. If the Actual Converted Bookings are less than the Estimated Converted Bookings, then the difference will be multiplied by *** and such amount will be paid by OFB to Travelport. For the avoidance of doubt, new corporate business that OFB places on the Travelport System that was previously unmanaged or that was not booked using a non-Travelport GDS is not eligible for the Conversion Bonus set forth in this Section.
B. ***. Orbitz acknowledges that any and all Claims relating to the dispute over the payments by Travelport of the *** of OFB have been settled as of the Agreement Date, and OFB agrees that from the Agreement Date through the Term, it is not entitled to any compensation in connection with its *** account unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties after the Agreement Date.
| V. | *** Incentives |
| 1. | *** Incentive. |
A. Each month Travelport will calculate the total number of net hotel segments it billed during the prior month for the services of *** (as specified in Section VIII.1.B below) booked via the Apollo and Galileo GDSs by all customers subscribing to the *** GDS, excluding all such segments made through ***. For each such net hotel segment billed, Travelport will credit Orbitz an incentive (“*** Incentive”) in the amount of ***.
B. The *** Incentive will be paid only on bookings of the following *** only for so long as *** are part of the ***. The Parties acknowledge that *** segments are currently being booked through the *** code, and as such qualify for the ***, and the Parties anticipate that in the future, such segments may be booked through the *** code. At such time, Travelport will pay the *** for *** segments booked through the *** code.
C. Any and all *** Incentives earned each month will be included in and paid at the same time as the monthly reconciliation statements as set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement. Orbitz shall reimburse Travelport for any *** paid to Orbitz for billed hotel segments as to which Travelport does not receive a booking fee from the ***, provided the reason for the nonpayment is not due directly to any action or inaction on the part of Travelport (e.g., bankruptcy proceedings). The payment of such *** will continue only for so long as (i) any of *** specified in Section 1.B above participate in any Travelport GDS. For the avoidance of doubt, if all such *** cease participation in the Travelport GDS, then the *** payments hereunder shall automatically cease upon such termination, expiration or cessation date, as the case may be.
2. Duration of Incentive Payment. The incentive payment set forth in Section 1 of this Section will terminate upon (a) the termination of both the Room Only Distribution Agreement dated *** and the Package Distribution Agreement, dated ***, between Orbitz and ***, as amended from time to time (“Distribution Agreements”), or (b) the date either party terminates this Agreement by providing the other party with *** prior written notice. Orbitz shall promptly notify Travelport when both Distribution Agreements have terminated or expired.
3. Audit. Each party will have the right to conduct an audit of the other party’s records related to the InterContinental Incentive in accordance with the provisions of Section 16 of this Agreement.

If Subscriber uses any tier beyond the default tier in e-Pricing (i.e., if Subscriber chooses to use any tier that offers query returns of *** or more pricing options), Subscriber will pay Travelport *** for each *** resulting from the use of such e-Pricing as calculated in Section III.C below and (a) generated by OFB Partners; or (b) created on a Neat Partner private label website; for each sale of travel services provided directly by an Orbitz Worldwide Agency for which such e-Pricing is used.

Travelport will work in good faith to develop a technical solution to materially reduce e-Pricing Messages per Segment relative to meta-search queries and will work in good faith with Subscriber so that Subscriber can take actions to bring the e-Pricing Message rate to below the Allowed e-Pricing Message limit. Each month, Travelport will provide Subscriber with reports providing the number of e-Pricing Messages for the month then ended, in such detail as Subscriber may reasonably request.
| Page 36 of 64 | Subscriber Services Agreement 100412 |
(c) The number of Allowed General Messages and Allowed e-Pricing Messages for each Segment, and the Excess General Message Fee and Excess e-Pricing Message Fee, are as follows:
| Message Type | Number of Allowed Messages* for Each Segment | Excess Message Fee | ||
| General Messages | *** | *** | ||

Travelport will determine the number of Messages solely by Travelport’s books and records, subject to Subscriber’s audit rights under Section 16 of this Agreement.
Subscriber may not carry Allowed Messages for any Message type forward or backward to any other calendar month. Subscriber is not entitled to any credit against past or future Message charges for failure to use all of its Allowed Messages for such Message type within a given calendar month.
Subscriber will provide commercially reasonable prior written notice to Travelport of any event that Subscriber expects may have a material increase on the number of General Messages or e-Pricing Messages made by Subscriber, 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. Subscriber will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that Subscriber’s code operates with the Travelport System in the most efficient way possible to avoid excessive Messages.
V. *** Content. On a monthly basis, Travelport will calculate the total number of reservation segments made by Subscriber via the Travelport System on *** (“*** Segment”), and for each *** Segment, *** a fee equal to *** (“***”). For avoidance of doubt, other than the foregoing and any fees set forth in this Agreement, there are no additional fees payable to *** in connection with the *** Segments.
Subject to the last sentence in this paragraph, *** under this Agreement for any *** Segments, regardless of ***. However, for all other purposes, ***. Travelport reserves the right to introduce a charge for any *** made by *** in the Travelport System upon prior written notice to Subscriber. If ***.

Travelport will perform the development work required to provide *** with the above *** in a timely manner and will, on an ongoing basis, use commercially reasonably efforts to make Releases available to *** in a timely manner, at all times acting
| Page 37 of 64 | Subscriber Services Agreement 100412 |
in good faith, taking into consideration the importance to *** of being able to remain competitive in its offerings of *** products and services relative to those of its competitors. For purposes of the foregoing, a “Release” means any new update, upgrade, version, feature, functionality, content or the like that is made available by *** to *** and that ***. Travelport will notify Subscriber upon receiving each Release from *** and will, in the notice, estimate when Travelport will complete the work necessary to make the Release available to ***. For the avoidance of doubt, Travelport will continue to make available to *** in the Travelport System, the same ***.
If, for any reason, Travelport is unable, or believes that it may become unable, to make any of the above-mentioned *** available in any Travelport System, it will notify Subscriber and describe, in reasonable detail, the *** together with the expected duration of their lack of availability, and shall provide Subscriber with such other related information as Subscriber may reasonably request. Subscriber acknowledges that *** must approve requests for ***.
VI. e-Tracker Version 2.0. Travelport grants to ebookers a limited, non-exclusive, non-assignable, non-transferable, right to access and use eTracker solely for ebookers’ own business purposes and otherwise on the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement.

| e-Tracker *** Charge | *** |
“e-Tracker Access Charge” means the fee set out in the chart above, which is payable by ebookers to Travelport on a monthly basis for each country in which e-Tracker is used by ebookers. For the avoidance of doubt, this *** fee for any given month is a total amount for unlimited access to e-Tracker that month in a given country.
“e-Tracker Per Ticket Charge” means the fee set out in the chart above, which is payable by ebookers to Travelport on a monthly basis for each ticket actually issued by ebookers on a Pseudo City Code for which e-Tracker is enabled.

2. Grant of Rights
A. Travelport hereby grants to Subscriber a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-assignable, license for Licensees to access and use the uAPI independently and/or with the Authorized Applications and including any related developer tools (the “Licensed API”), and to sublicense the foregoing rights to access and use but only to those third party developers whom Subscriber has previously used as of the Agreement Date or to third party developers pre-approved by Travelport (Travelport’s approval not to be unreasonably withheld), and who first agree to be bound by those Licensee Responsibilities (Section 4) herein which by their nature would be applicable to such third party developers when taken in context. The rights granted above are limited to the Licensed API and they may not be sublicensed except as expressly permitted in this Addendum without the prior consent of Travelport.
B. Subscriber acknowledges on behalf of itself and the Licensees that, as between the Parties, all rights and title in the Licensed API, and in the intellectual property rights in the Licensed API, and all API Documentation, regardless of media or format, whether registered or unregistered, anywhere in the world, belong, and will belong, to Travelport, its Affiliates, or its licensors, as the case may be. Subscriber has no rights in or to the intellectual property rights in the Licensed API or any API Documentation other than as expressly provided
| Page 52 of 64 | Subscriber Services Agreement 100412 |
in this Addendum or as otherwise expressly agreed in writing between Travelport and a Licensee. Travelport acknowledges on behalf of itself and its Affiliates that, as between the Parties, all rights and title in the interface developed by the Licensees to access and use the Licensed API and in the intellectual property rights in such interface and any related documentation, regardless of media or format, whether registered or unregistered, anywhere in the world (collectively, the “Licensees’ IP”), belong, and will belong, to Subscriber, its Affiliates, or its licensors, as the case may be.

Subscriber agrees that Licensees will use the Travelport ORS system to initiate any help desk support request and that, subject to Section 7.D of this Addendum, Subscriber will pay consulting fees as set forth in Exhibit 1 to this Addendum for any consulting support provided by Travelport outside of the Travelport ORS system.
B. Subject to the provisions of Attachment D to the Agreement, Travelport reserves the right to limit and/or interrupt access to the Licensed API by a Licensee in order to carry out scheduled maintenance or unscheduled work or to modify or update the Licensed API; provided, however, that no Licensee is impacted by downtime, latencies or malfunctions associated therewith to an extent disproportionate to other licensees of the Travelport uAPI. Travelport will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide a minimum of 24 hours prior written notice of scheduled maintenance, modification or updates to the Licensed API and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to reduce any downtime associated therewith and to minimize any unscheduled work. Notwithstanding the above and for the avoidance of doubt, when calculating monthly service levels for the uAPI, Scheduled Downtime and Unscheduled Downtime as defined in Attachment D will be used.
C. Subject to the limitations in Section 2.H (uAPI) of the Agreement: Travelport reserves the right to maintain and make updates to the Travelport Content Hub Pricing Table, including the uAPI fees for the air carriers participating in the ACH, the rail carriers participating in the RCH, and any other travel suppliers participating in any other content hubs that may be available in the uAPI, via an agency administrative portal
| Page 53 of 64 | Subscriber Services Agreement 100412 |
accessible by Subscriber. Travelport reserves the right to modify the Travelport Content Hub Pricing Table no more than once per quarter effective on the first day of the following quarter without prior notice to or consent from Subscriber. When a Licensee generates a uAPI Segment on a travel supplier via the uAPI, Subscriber will be deemed to have agreed to pay the uAPI fee then associated with that travel supplier as set forth in the then-current Travelport Content Hub Pricing Table. In no event shall (i) any Orbitz Worldwide Agency other than OFB be singled out or obligated to pay more in any uAPI fee or any other amount than any of *** for any uAPI Segment, or (ii) OFB be singled out or obligated to pay more in any uAPI fee or any other amount than *** for any uAPI Segment.
D. Travelport does not warrant that the Licensed API will work in combination with any hardware or software products or services provided by third parties or meet Licensees’ unique requirements. For any third-party hardware or software listed in the API Documentation as being compatible, Travelport will undertake commercially reasonable efforts to provide compatibility, except where the non-compatibility is caused by a defect in the third party’s product or service or from use of the Licensed API not in accordance with such API Documentation.
E. Travelport and Subscriber will meet periodically to discuss system capacity to support Licensees’ volumes including during peak usage.
F. For the avoidance of doubt, the Service Level Agreement attached as Attachment D to the Agreement is applicable to the uAPI, as provided in Attachment D, when the uAPI is used by Subscriber to access not only the Worldspan GDS, Apollo GDS, or Galileo GDS, but also when it is used to access the ACH, the RCH, or any other content hub that may be available in the uAPI.
G. Other than as expressly set forth in this Addendum or in the Agreement (and in each attachment to the Agreement) as it applies to this Addendum, Travelport shall charge no additional fees, penalties or other amounts whatsoever in connection this Addendum, including without limitation in connection with the ACH and RCH and the use of the uAPI by Subscriber as contemplated by this Addendum.
4. Licensee Responsibilities
A. Licensees may use the Licensed API only for the Authorized Application(s) listed on Exhibit 1. Licensees may cache data accessed through use of the Licensed API and will not, without Travelport’s prior written consent and except as otherwise set forth in this Addendum, (i) allow any third party to have access to the Licensed API, or (ii) transfer or redistribute to any third party any data, or copy of any data, accessed through use of the Licensed API. Any shopping provider used by Subscriber may be given data accessed through use of the uAPI, but only to the extent needed to assist with bookability issues and at all times subject to a confidentiality agreement with Subscriber prohibiting the disclosure or use of such data to third parties other than Subscriber. Should Travelport permit a Licensee to allow a third party developer not otherwise authorized herein to access and use the Licensed API on Licensee’s behalf, Subscriber waives the right to assert any claim against Travelport related to such third party’s access and will indemnify and hold Travelport harmless from all liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from or related to such third party developer’s access and use of the Licensed API. Travelport may withdraw its authorization to allow a third party developer’s access to a Licensee’s Licensed API credentials upon 90 days’ prior written notice to Subscriber. Subscriber will not copy, store, archive, republish, sell or create a database of data or information obtained via the Licensed API or an Authorized Application, in whole or in part, directly or directly, except that an Authorized Application may store such data or information in a secure, non-public, temporary cache, for a period not to exceed 60 days, solely for the purpose of using such data or information for marketing purposes, including without limitation in landing pages and related emails, and/or to carry out a specific end user requested action.
B. With respect to each website and/or application with which a Licensee desires to use the uAPI at any time, Subscriber will give Travelport reasonable advance notice of the website or application and allow Travelport to evaluate the website or application and certify that it conforms to Travelport’s requirements with respect to the impact on the Travelport GDS. If Subscriber makes material modifications to the Authorized Application, then
| Page 54 of 64 | Subscriber Services Agreement 100412 |
Travelport will have the right to re-perform its certification tests. In any such event, no Licensee will use the uAPI in connection with any website, or application, or modification to an Authorized Application until Travelport has successfully completed its certification tests or has waived the right to conduct such tests.
C. Subscriber on behalf of itself and the other Licensees represents that it is authorized to make reservations and book the content of those travel suppliers available via the uAPI available to Subscriber in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement, including this Addendum. Travelport has the right to evaluate a Licensee’s credentials to book various travel suppliers and refuse access to a Licensee should a Licensee’s credentials not be validated. The validation criteria shall be the same criteria as applied to all other online uAPI subscribers.
D. Licensee will maintain the minimum hardware and software requirements specified by Travelport in the API Documentation.
E. Each Licensee is responsible for training its employees on how to use the Licensed API.
F. Subscriber will use commercially reasonable efforts to install and implement new releases of the Licensed API within 90 days of Subscriber’s receipt of the update and will discontinue use of the superseded release within 90 days of such implementation.
G. Each Licensee will take reasonable precautions to prevent any unauthorized use of the Licensed API. Each Licensee will prohibit each of its employees from sharing their log-on credentials with any other person.
5. Message Spikes
For purposes of facilitating Travelport’s system capacity planning, Subscriber will use reasonable business efforts to provide to Travelport prior written notice of any event that may have a Material Increase on the number of uAPI messages made by Subscriber through the Licensed API (a “Spike”), including, but not limited to, new code or changes to existing code launched by Licensees, Licensees’ entrance into new markets, or Licensees’ advertising or marketing campaigns. As used immediately above, “Material Increase” means an increase in volume that exceeds by *** Licensees’ average daily message volume for the uAPI adjusted for seasonality. If Subscriber fails to
use reasonable business efforts to provide such prior written notice to Travelport and as a result, Travelport does not have sufficient capacity to process uAPI messages generated by Licensee, Travelport may throttle Licensees’ volume to a manageable level (but in no event to less than the Licensees’ average daily message volume) until Travelport resolves any system capacity issues.
6. uAPI Content.
Subscriber acknowledges that any and all content, including without limitation fares, rates and classes of service; and related data and information, including rates and descriptions of the applicable travel services and ancillary services, that may be available through the uAPI is provided by the applicable Vendors and is subject to any restrictions that they may impose. Subject to its compliance with those restrictions, Travelport shall provide such content and related data and information to Subscriber if requested and Travelport agrees that it will not discriminate against (i) any Orbitz Worldwide Agency other than OFB versus any of *** with respect to access to and use of any such content, or (ii) OFB versus *** with respect to access to and use of any such content.
7. Modifications and Additions
A. Travelport may update, upgrade, enhance or modify the Licensed API at its discretion at any time provided it does so in accordance with the terms and conditions in Section 2.C of the Agreement (Updates). Travelport may migrate a Licensee to a new Licensed API used by Travelport provided the Parties first agree in writing upon the new Licensed API and the timing of such migration. Travelport will ensure that any updates, upgrades, enhancements or modifications will not materially adversely affect any Licensee and shall permit each Licensee to promptly roll back to the prior version and implement such other measures as may be necessary to avoid any material adverse effect.
B. This Addendum contemplates that Subscriber may access, download and use additional uAPI features and functionality, if and when they become available, from the Travelport download site at xxxx://xxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxxxx.xxx, which is accessible only through use of the login information which shall be provided by
| Page 55 of 64 | Subscriber Services Agreement 100412 |
Travelport. Subscriber will pay the fees for any such additional features and functionality downloaded by Subscriber, effective from the date of download, at rates that are (i) for any Orbitz Worldwide Agency other than OFB, no more than the rates charged to any of *** for the same feature or functionality, and (ii) for OFB, no more than the rates charged to *** for the same feature or functionality.
8. Payment Terms
A. In consideration for the services supplied and rights granted by Travelport hereunder, Subscriber will pay Travelport the fees set forth on Exhibit 1 and the Travelport Content Hub Pricing Table.
B. Travelport will invoice Subscriber for the applicable fees (i) for a Vendor covered in Exhibit 1, in the first monthly invoice or reconciliation statement described in Section 4.A of the Agreement after the first commercial booking of a uAPI Segment through the uAPI on that air Vendor in accordance with the billing frequency set forth on Exhibit 1; and (ii) for Subscriber’s use of the support services described in Section III.C of Exhibit 1 on a per use basis per month, at the time of the monthly invoice or reconciliation statement described in Section 4.A of the Agreement. Subscriber will pay such invoice in accordance with Section 4.A of the Agreement. In the event of non-payment of fees by Subscriber, Travelport may set off any fees owed by Subscriber against any sums due or payable by Travelport to Subscriber under the Agreement.
C. Any Segment Incentive payable to Subscriber for a uAPI Segment, regardless of whether generated on a travel supplier in the ACH, RCH, or any other content hub that becomes available via the uAPI, are set forth in the Agreement (and applicable attachments).
D. As provided in Section 3.A of this Addendum, Travelport shall provide standard help desk support for the Licensed API ***. In addition, during each Contract Year, Travelport shall provide *** of Support Services (Professional Services and/or Training Services, each as described in Section III.C of Exhibit 1 to this Addendum), ***. For any Support Services (either Professional Services or Training Services) provided by Travelport during a given Contract Year in excess of the *** specified above, Subscriber shall pay the applicable fees set forth in Section III.C of Exhibit 1. To the extent practical, Travelport may provide any such Professional Services or Training Services via online tutorials, online messaging, or remote access.
9. Software Development
