          The following overview is a general summary only, which is qualified in its entirety by, and should be read in conjunction with, the more detailed discussions, information, and financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Disclosure Statement and the Plan.
A. Corporate Structure Of The Company
          The Debtor, a Bermuda exempted company, is wholly owned by Worldwide, a Bermuda exempted company, which in turn is wholly owned by TDS Investor (Cayman) L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership. Partnerships affiliated with The Blackstone Group, Technology Crossover Ventures and One Equity Partners and certain existing and former members of management of Travelport (as defined below) and other holders of restricted equity units own partnership interests in TDS Investor (Cayman) L.P.
          The Debtor is a holding company with no direct operations. The Debtor’s principal assets are the direct and indirect equity interests it holds in its subsidiaries, including its direct wholly owned subsidiary, Travelport Limited, a Bermuda exempted company, which in turn owns, directly or indirectly, a number of subsidiaries of the Travelport group of companies (such subsidiaries of the Debtor are collectively referred to herein as “Travelport”). As of the date hereof, 12,000 ordinary shares of Travelport Limited were outstanding, all of which were held by the Debtor.

          A chart summarizing the Debtor’s current organizational structure is attached to this Disclosure Statement as Appendix B.
B. Overview Of Business Operations
          The Debtor’s direct wholly owned subsidiary, Travelport Limited, is a broad-based business services company and a leading provider of critical transaction processing solutions and data to companies operating in the global travel industry. Travelport’s Global Distribution Systems (“GDS”) business provides aggregation, search and transaction processing services to travel suppliers and travel agencies, allowing travel agencies to search, compare, process and book tens of thousands of itinerary and pricing options across multiple travel suppliers within seconds. Travelport’s GDS business operates three systems, Galileo, Apollo and Worldspan, across approximately 160 countries to provide travel agencies with booking technology and access to considerable supplier inventory that it aggregates from airlines, hotels, car rental companies, rail networks, cruise and tour operators, and destination service providers. The GDS business provides travel distribution services to approximately 800 active travel suppliers and approximately 67,000 online and offline travel agencies, which in turn serve millions of end consumers globally. In 2010, approximately 170 million tickets were issued through the GDS business, with

 


 

approximately six billion stored fares normally available at any one time. The GDS business executed an average of 77 million searches and processed up to 1.8 billion travel-related messages per day in 2010.
          Within the GDS business, the Airline IT Solutions business provides hosting solutions and IT subscription services to airlines to enable them to focus on their core business competencies and reduce costs, as well as business intelligence services. The Airline IT Solutions business manages the mission-critical reservations and related systems for United Airlines (“United”) and Delta Air Lines Inc. (“Delta”), as well as seven other airlines. The Airline IT Solutions business also provides an array of leading-edge IT software subscription services, directly and indirectly, to over 270 airlines and airline ground handlers globally. Travelport has received notice from United that it is terminating its agreement for the Apollo reservation system operated by Travelport on its behalf, with a termination date of March 1, 2012.
C. Corporate History Of Travelport
          Galileo, the cornerstone of Travelport’s GDS business, began as the United Apollo computerized reservation system in 1971 in the United States. In 1997, Galileo International became a publicly listed company on the New York and Chicago Stock Exchanges. In October 2001, Galileo was acquired by Cendant Corporation (“Cendant”). From 2001 to 2006, Cendant completed a series of acquisitions, including Orbitz, Inc. in November 2004 and Gullivers Travel Associates (“GTA”) (which formed the base of the GTA business prior to its sale in May 2011, as described below) in April 2005.
          The Debtor and its wholly owned subsidiary Travelport Limited were formed on July 13, 2006 in connection with the Acquisition (as defined below). The Debtor’s direct wholly owned subsidiary, Travelport Limited, was formed to acquire the travel distribution services businesses of Cendant (the “Acquisition”). On August 23, 2006, the Acquisition was completed, and Travelport Limited was acquired by affiliates of The Blackstone Group, affiliates of Technology Crossover Ventures and certain existing and former members of management. One Equity Partners acquired an economic interest in TDS Investor (Cayman) L.P. in December 2006.

On August 18, 2010, Travelport LLC and Travelport Inc. issued $250 million aggregate principal amount of 9% senior dollar fixed rate notes due 2016 (the “9% Notes,” and, together with the Senior 2006 Notes, the “Senior Notes,” and, collectively with the Senior Subordinated Notes, the “Notes”). Travelport LLC is the borrower under the Senior Secured Credit Facility (as defined below) and obligor of the outstanding Notes. As of June 30, 2011, there was approximately $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of total Notes outstanding.
          The Senior Subordinated Notes are unsecured general obligations and are subordinated in right of payment to all of Travelport LLC’s existing and future senior indebtedness (as defined in the applicable debt instruments) (including amounts outstanding under the Senior Secured Credit Facility (as defined below) and the Senior Notes).

          As of June 30, 2011, there was $123 million aggregate principal amount of senior dollar floating rate notes due 2014, €162 million aggregate principal amount of senior euro floating rate notes due 2014 ($234 million dollar equivalent as of June 30, 2011), $443 million aggregate principal amount of 9 7/8% senior dollar fixed rate notes due 2014, and $250 million aggregate principal amount of 9% senior dollar fixed rate notes due 2016. The euro denominated and dollar denominated floating rate senior notes bear interest at a rate equal to EURIBOR plus 4 5/8% and USLIBOR plus 4 5/8%, respectively.
          As of June 30, 2011, there was $247 million aggregate principal amount of 11 7/8% senior subordinated dollar notes due 2016 and €140 million aggregate principal amount of 10 7/8% senior subordinated euro notes due 2016 ($203 million dollar equivalent as of June 30, 2011).
          2. Major Corporate Transactions
          On July 25, 2007, Travelport completed the initial public offering of approximately 49% of the common stock of its then subsidiary, Orbitz Worldwide, Inc. (“Orbitz Worldwide”), and listed such common stock on the New York Stock Exchange.
          On August 21, 2007, Travelport completed the acquisition of Worldspan Technologies Inc. (“Worldspan”) for $1.3 billion. Worldspan operated as an independent GDS based in the United States before becoming part of the Travelport’s GDS business in August 2007. The Worldspan system resulted from the combination of Delta, Trans World Airlines and Northwest Airlines Corp. (“Northwest”) GDS systems in the early 1990s.
          On October 31, 2007, Travelport transferred approximately 11% of the outstanding equity of Orbitz Worldwide to affiliates, leaving it with approximately 48% of Orbitz Worldwide’s outstanding equity. On January 26, 2010, Travelport Limited purchased $50 million of newly issued common shares of Orbitz Worldwide pursuant to an agreement with Orbitz Worldwide. After this investment, and a simultaneous exchange between Orbitz Worldwide and PAR Investment Partners, a third party investor, of approximately $49.68 million of Orbitz Worldwide debt for common shares of Orbitz Worldwide, Travelport Limited continues to own approximately 48% of Orbitz Worldwide’s outstanding common stock.
          On May 5, 2011, Travelport completed the sale of its GTA business to Kuoni Travel Holding Ltd. pursuant to a share purchase agreement, dated March 5, 2011, among Gullivers Services Limited, Travelport (Bermuda) Ltd., Travelport Inc., Travelport Limited, Kuoni Holdings PLC, Kuoni Holding Delaware, Inc., KIT Solution AG and Kuoni Reisen Holding AG. The gross consideration for the sale of the GTA business was $720 million, subject to certain closing adjustments based on minimum cash and working capital targets at the time of closing. After deducting transaction costs from the cash proceeds received from the sale of the GTA business, Travelport Limited repaid $655 million of indebtedness outstanding under the existing third amended and restated credit agreement, as amended, among Travelport LLC, as borrower, Travelport Limited, as parent guarantor, Waltonville Limited, as intermediate parent guarantor, UBS AG, Stamford Branch, as administrative agent and L/C issuer, UBS Loan Finance LLC, as swing line lender, and the other agents and other lenders party thereto (the “Senior Secured Credit Facility”).
D. PIK Loan
          On March 27, 2007, the Debtor entered into the PIK Loan. The Debtor used the net proceeds from the PIK Loan to pay a dividend to Worldwide, its sole shareholder. The entire PIK Loan is due on March 27, 2012.

3


 

As of September 30, 2011, approximately $715 million (principal including accrued interest) remained outstanding under the PIK Loan.
          Currently, interest on the PIK Loan is capitalized periodically in arrears at a rate of LIBOR plus 8%. Interest is paid in kind unless the Debtor elects to pay the interest in cash. The PIK Loan may be repaid at par at any time.
          Following a change of control (as defined in the PIK Loan), each lender under the PIK Loan may elect to require the Debtor to prepay its portion of the term loan at a prepayment price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of the loan outstanding, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of the prepayment; provided, however, that the Debtor may elect to voluntarily prepay the outstanding term loans at par plus an additional prepayment fee prior to allowing the lenders to exercise their right to require a prepayment at 101% pursuant to any such change of control. In addition to paying principal and interest on the outstanding principal under the term loans, the Debtor is required to pay certain fees as agreed in writing between the parties. The PIK Loan contains various covenants, events of default and other provisions. These covenants restrict the ability of the Debtor to, among other things:
    incur additional indebtedness;
 
    make certain investments;
 
    sell certain assets;
 
    create liens on certain assets to secure debt;
 
    consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all its assets;
 
    enter into certain transactions with affiliates; and
 
    designate subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries.
          On December 4, 2008, the Debtor and Worldwide entered into an amendment to the PIK Loan with the lenders party thereto to permit the Debtor to repurchase loans made under the PIK Loan on a non-pro rata/non-par basis from persons who are not affiliates of the Debtor during the 18-month period from the date of effectiveness of such amendment. In exchange for the ability to make such repurchases, Worldwide contributed approximately $62.7 million to the ordinary share capital of the Debtor.
          Between April 2008 and July 2008, Worldwide acquired from various lenders an aggregate of $90 million of the debt owed by the Debtor under the PIK Loan. On July 7, 2009, the Debtor received a distribution of approximately $152.3 million from Travelport Limited. The Debtor used the funds from the distribution to repurchase $257 million of the outstanding PIK Loan. As of September 30, 2011, the amount of debt that remained outstanding under the PIK Loan (principal including accrued interest) was approximately $715 million.

E. Historical Financial Information
          For the year ended December 31, 2010, Travelport Limited generated approximately $2,290 million in net revenue. Attached as Appendix E is the historical consolidated financial information of the Debtor as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The historical consolidated financial information has been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
F. Events Leading To The Anticipated Chapter 11 Case
          As described above, the Debtor is a holding company with no direct operations. Its principal assets are the direct and indirect equity interests it holds in its subsidiaries, including Travelport Limited, and all of its operations are conducted through Travelport Limited and its subsidiaries. As a result, the Debtor is dependent upon dividends or distributions and other payments from Travelport Limited to generate the funds necessary to meet its outstanding debt service and other obligations under the PIK Loan.
          Despite its recent improvements in profitability and successful operations this year, Travelport is currently facing obstacles as a result of the current global economic downturn, as well as market and industry-wide pressures. The prolonged and substantial decrease in global travel volume, particularly air travel, as well as other industry trends, including reduced growth consistent with long-term historical trends following a macroeconomic recovery have negatively impacted Travelport’s operations. Further, the financial covenants in the indentures governing the Notes and financial and maintenance covenants in the Senior Secured Credit Facility limit the ability of the Debtor’s subsidiaries to make distributions and other payments to the Debtor to generate the funds necessary to meet its outstanding debt service obligations under the PIK Loan. The PIK Loan matures on March 27, 2012. Under normal economic and market conditions, the Debtor is confident that it would be able to refinance the PIK Loan.
          Due to these pressures, however, it became evident to the Debtor’s board in early 2011 that a refinancing with new indebtedness or repayment of the PIK Loan at maturity would be unlikely. Subsequently, the Debtor’s board determined that a balance sheet restructuring was the only viable alternative for the Debtor to continue to operate as a going concern following the maturity of the PIK Loan.
          1. Industry-Wide Factors
          Travelport’s business is highly correlated to the overall performance of the travel industry, in particular, growth in air passenger travel which, in turn, is linked to the global macro-economic environment. For the year ended December 31, 2010, approximately 83% of Travelport’s segment volumes were represented by air segments flown, 4% of segment volumes were attributable to other air segments (such as cancellations on the day of travel), with land and sea bookings accounting for the remaining 13%. Between 2003 and 2009, air travel volumes increased at a compounded annual growth rate of 5.1%, approximately twice the rate of global GDP. During the recent global economic recession, air travel volumes declined, with air passenger volumes showing a modest growth of 1.6% in 2008, a decline of 2.1% in 2009 and growth of approximately 7% in 2010, each as compared to its previous year.
          The GDS business typically earns a fee for each segment cancellation. Revenue is earned as normal on subsequent rebookings, unless further cancellations prior to the day of departure are made, in which case Travelport receives a smaller fee on each cancellation. In periods where significant volumes of cancellations prior to the day of departure are made, average revenue per segment increases significantly due to the additional fees with no associated increase in segment volume. For example, during the fourth quarter of 2008, the GDS business

5


 

experienced an unusually large number of cancelled bookings prior to the day of departure as travelers, particularly in the corporate sector, cancelled travel plans as a result of the onset of the global economic recession.
          Consolidations within the airline industry have negatively impacted annual revenue. Delta, one of Travelport’s largest Airline IT services customers, completed its acquisition of Northwest, another of Travelport’s largest Airline IT services customers, in 2009. As part of their integration, Delta and Northwest have migrated to a common IT platform and will have reduced needs for Travelport’s IT services after the integration. In addition, in December 2010, following the merger of United with Continental Airlines (“Continental”), Travelport received a notice from United, terminating its agreement for the Apollo reservation system operated by Travelport for United, with a termination date of March 1, 2012. As a result of such consolidations within the airline industry, Travelport’s annual revenue and EBITDA in 2010 decreased compared to 2009 and will reduce further in future periods.
          Travelport’s businesses experience seasonal fluctuations, reflecting seasonal trends for the products and services offered. These trends cause revenue to be generally higher in the second and third calendar quarters of the year, with GDS revenue peaking as travelers plan and purchase their spring and summer travel. Revenue typically flattens or declines in the fourth and first quarters of the calendar year. Travelport’s results may also be affected by seasonal fluctuations in the inventory made available by travel suppliers.
          While Travelport transacts business primarily in US dollars, foreign exchange movements may impact operating results. The majority of Travelport’s revenue is denominated in US dollars, but a portion of costs are denominated in other currencies (principally, the British pound, Euro, Australian dollar and Japanese yen). Travelport uses foreign currency forward contracts to manage exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates associated with foreign currency-denominated receivables and payables and forecasted earnings of foreign subsidiaries. The fluctuations in the value of these forward contracts largely offset the impact of changes in the value of the underlying risk that they are intended to economically hedge. Nevertheless, operating results are impacted to a certain extent by movements in the underlying exchange rates between those currencies listed above.
          In general, since the Acquisition and the acquisition of Worldspan in 2007, Travelport has taken a number of actions to enhance organizational efficiency and consolidate and rationalize existing processes. These actions include, among others, the migration of the Galileo data center, formerly located in Denver, Colorado, into the Worldspan data center, located in Atlanta, Georgia; consolidating certain administrative and support functions of Galileo and Worldspan, including accounting, sales and marketing and human resources functions; and the renegotiation of several material vendor contracts. The most significant impact of these initiatives was the elimination of redundant staff positions, reduced technology costs associated with renegotiated vendor contracts, and, to a lesser extent, cost savings and synergies resulting from a reduction in the amount of office rental space required and related utilities, maintenance and other facility operating costs. As a result, results of operations have been significantly impacted by these actions. In addition, a substantial portion of cash flow generated from Travelport’s businesses has been dedicated to debt service requirements for the outstanding Notes issued by the Debtor’s subsidiaries and outstanding loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facility.
          2. Maintenance And Financial Covenant Restriction In Debt Agreements
          The Senior Secured Credit Facility requires Travelport LLC, the borrower under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, to maintain, at regular intervals, a certain maximum total leverage ratio of total debt to consolidated adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (the “Leverage Ratio”). The Leverage Ratio is measured at the end of each fiscal quarter, based on Travelport’s financial results for the previous twelve months of Travelport’s adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. As of June 30, 2011, Travelport’s Leverage Ratio was 5.16 compared to the maximum Leverage Ratio allowable under the Senior Secured Credit Facility of 5.75, and Travelport was in compliance with all financial covenants related to long-term

6


 

debt. Under the terms of the Senior Secured Credit Facility, the maximum Leverage Ratio will decrease from 5.75 at June 30, 2011 to 4.75 by December 31, 2012.
          Further, as discussed above, the Debtor is dependent upon dividends or distributions and other payments from the Debtor’s subsidiaries to generate the funds necessary to meet its outstanding debt service and other obligations under the PIK Loan. However, the Senior Secured Credit Facility and the indentures governing the Notes contain covenants that limit the ability of the Debtor’s subsidiaries to pay dividends on, repurchase or make distributions in respect of capital stock or make other restricted payments. The Senior Secured Credit Facility and the indentures governing the Notes prohibit, subject to certain exceptions, conditions and limits set forth in such agreements, Travelport Limited and any of its subsidiaries from directly or indirectly, declaring or paying any dividend or making any payment or distribution on account of Travelport Limited and any of its subsidiaries’ equity interests.
          The Senior Secured Credit Facility and the indentures governing the Notes also contain various other covenants that limit the ability to engage in specified types of transactions. These covenants limit the ability of Travelport and its restricted subsidiaries to, among other things:
    incur additional indebtedness;
 
    make certain investments;
 
    sell certain assets;
 
    create liens on certain assets to secure debt;
 
    consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of their assets;
 
    enter into certain transactions with affiliates; and
 
    designate subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries.
          In addition, upon the occurrence of a change of control (as defined in the indentures governing the Notes), Travelport LLC is required to make an offer to repurchase all of the Senior Notes or the Senior Subordinated Notes, as applicable, at a price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the relevant purchase date.
          3. Evaluation Of Restructuring Alternatives
          Travelport has continually explored, prepared for and evaluated possible transactions, including mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures and other arrangements, to ensure the most efficient and effective capital structure and to maximize the value of the enterprise. In July 2007, Travelport completed the initial public offering of common stock of its then subsidiary, Orbitz Worldwide, and listed such common stock on the New York

7


 

Stock Exchange. After transferring approximately 11% of the outstanding equity of Orbitz Worldwide to affiliates in October 2007, Travelport owns approximately 48% of Orbitz Worldwide’s outstanding equity. In August 2007, Travelport completed the acquisition of Worldspan, an independent GDS based in the United States, for $1.3 billion in an EBITDA accretive transaction. Additionally, in March 2007, Travelport announced the sale of the GTA business to Kuoni Travel Holding Ltd. for $720 million, subject to certain closing adjustments based on minimum cash and working capital targets at the time of closing. The transaction was completed on May 5, 2011.
          Additionally, in anticipation of the upcoming maturity of the PIK Loan, the Debtor has made serious and costly attempts to raise capital by way of public offerings of equity in order to repay all amounts outstanding under the PIK Loan. In January 2010, Travelport attempted to complete an unregistered offering of shares within the United States in connection with an initial public offering of shares being made to institutions in the United Kingdom and to eligible institutional investors internationally. In February 2010, Travelport announced that, due to market conditions, it had decided against proceeding with the proposed initial public offering.
          Further, the Debtor has been diligently working with its lenders to extend and renegotiate the PIK Loan on an out-of-court basis. During these negotiations, the Debtor has offered the PIK Loan lenders the same consideration for the extension of the PIK Loan as is being offered under the Plan which is described in Section G below. However, if the Debtor does not receive the consent from lenders holding 100% of the outstanding PIK Loan in order to effectuate an out-of-court restructuring, it expects to file for chapter 11 protection in order to implement the restructuring of the PIK Loan contemplated hereby.
G. Purpose Of The Restructuring Contemplated By The Plan
          The primary purpose of the Plan is to restructure the PIK Loan in the manner set forth in Section G hereof. The Company believes that its business and assets have significant value that would not be realized in a liquidation, either in whole or in substantial part. Further, the Company’s positive historical financial performance, as set forth in the Historical Financial Information, attached hereto as Appendix E, demonstrates the strength and viability of the business. The Historical Financial Information, together with the Financial Projections, attached hereto as Appendix C, shows that the Debtor will have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to (1) make payments required under the Plan and (2) continue its business going forward.
          Consistent with the liquidation analysis, attached hereto as Appendix D, and other analyses prepared by the Debtor and its advisors, the Debtor believes that the value of the Debtor’s assets would be considerably greater if the Company continues as a going concern instead of liquidating. Moreover, the Debtor believes that any alternative to confirmation of the Plan, such as an attempt by another party-in-interest to file a plan of reorganization, would result in significant delays, litigation, and additional costs, and ultimately would lower the recoveries for stakeholders. Accordingly, the Debtor strongly recommends that you vote to accept the Plan, if you are entitled to vote.
          The Plan provides for the amendment of the PIK Loan Credit Agreement to extend the maturity of $135 million principal amount of the PIK Loan from March 27, 2012 to September 30, 2012 (the “Tranche A Extended PIK Loan”) and approximately $287.5 million principal amount of the PIK Loan from March 27, 2012 to December 1, 2016 (the “Tranche B Extended PIK Loan”) (collectively, the “PIK Amendments”), substantially on the terms set forth in the Amended and Restated PIK Loan Credit Agreement. A term sheet describing the various consideration to be received by the Holders of the PIK Loan Unsecured Claims, including without limitation, a description of the PIK Amendments, PIK Loan Cash Distribution, the Second Lien OpCo Term Loan, the distribution of Worldwide’s equity, the Shareholders’ Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and other key economic and business terms of the Plan is attached as part of Exhibit B to the Plan annexed hereto as Appendix A.

8


 

          Worldwide, as issuer of the New Equity Shares, is a non-debtor co-proponent of the Plan, is jointly participating in the Plan with the Debtor and shall submit itself to Bankruptcy Court jurisdiction in the event that the Debtor commences a chapter 11 case as set forth in this Disclosure Statement.
H. Pending Litigation
          The Debtor is not a party to any pending litigation.
II. SUMMARY OF TREATMENT OF CLAIMS AND INTERESTS UNDER THE PLAN
          The primary purpose of the Plan is to effectuate the restructuring of the PIK Loan as described herein. The table set forth below summarizes the classification and treatment of prepetition Claims and Interests under the Plan. For certain classes of Claims, estimated percentage recoveries are also set forth below. Estimated percentage recoveries have been calculated based upon a number of assumptions, including the estimated realizable value ascribed to the Company’s assets.
          Estimated Claim amounts for each Class set forth below are based upon the Company’s review of its books and records. With respect to the General Unsecured Claims in Class 3, such estimated Claim amounts include estimates of any Claims that are contingent, disputed, and/or unliquidated.
          The Company intends to seek to consummate the Plan and cause the Effective Date to occur immediately after all conditions to the Effective Date are satisfied or waived. There can be no assurance, however, as to when or whether the Effective Date will occur. See Section VI — “Risk Factors To Be Considered” for a further discussion of certain factors that could delay or prevent the occurrence of the Effective Date.
          The Company believes that the distributions and treatment of Claims and Interests contemplated by the Plan reflect an appropriate resolution of the Claims and Interests, taking into account the differing nature and priority of such Claims and Interests.

D. Confirmation Hearing And Deadline For Objections To Confirmation
          Section 1128(a) of the Bankruptcy Code requires the Bankruptcy Court, after notice, to hold a Confirmation Hearing. Section 1128(b) of the Bankruptcy Code provides that any party-in-interest may object to confirmation of the Plan.
          If and when the Company files a petition for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, it will request that the Bankruptcy Court schedule a Confirmation Hearing to consider the adequacy of this Disclosure Statement and to confirm the Plan. Notice of the Confirmation Hearing will be provided to Holders of Claims and Interests or their representatives (the “Confirmation Hearing Notice”) pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court. Objections to Confirmation must be filed with the Bankruptcy Court by the date designated in the Confirmation Hearing Notice and are governed by Bankruptcy Rules 3020(b) and 9014 and local rules of the Bankruptcy Court.

13


 

UNLESS AN OBJECTION TO CONFIRMATION IS TIMELY SERVED AND FILED, SUCH OBJECTION TO CONFIRMATION MAY NOT BE CONSIDERED BY THE BANKRUPTCY COURT AT THE CONFIRMATION HEARING.
IV. THE ANTICIPATED CHAPTER 11 CASE
          If the Debtor receives acceptances from Holders of PIK Loan Unsecured Claims holding at least two-thirds (2/3) in dollar amount and more than one-half (1/2) in number of Claims in Class 2 — PIK Loan Unsecured Claims (counting only those Holders of PIK Loan Unsecured Claims that actually vote) in response to the Solicitation occurring pursuant to this Disclosure Statement, but less than 100% acceptance from all Holders of PIK Loan Unsecured Claims, the Debtor intends promptly to commence the Chapter 11 Case. From and after the Petition Date, the Debtor will continue its business as a debtor-in-possession pursuant to sections 1107 and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code.
          The Company does not expect the Chapter 11 Case to be protracted. To expedite its emergence from chapter 11, the Company intends to seek, contemporaneously with the filing of its chapter 11 bankruptcy petition, from the Bankruptcy Court, among other things, the relief detailed below. If granted, this relief will facilitate the administration of the Chapter 11 Case. There can be no assurance, however, that the Bankruptcy Court will grant the requested relief. Bankruptcy courts customarily provide various other forms of administrative and other relief in the early stages of chapter 11 cases. The Company intends to seek all necessary and appropriate relief from the Bankruptcy Court to facilitate its restructuring goals, including the matters described below.
A. Motions To Be Filed On The Petition Date In The Chapter 11 Case
          1. Motion To Approve Combined Disclosure Statement And Schedule Confirmation Hearing
          The Debtor will seek an order (i) scheduling a combined Confirmation Hearing and hearing on the adequacy of this Disclosure Statement on the earliest date which is convenient for the Bankruptcy Court (the “Combined Hearing”); (ii) approving the objection deadline and procedures with respect to the Combined Hearing; and (iii) approving the proposed notice of the Combined Hearing. At the Combined Hearing, the Debtor will seek approval of this Disclosure Statement and confirmation of the Plan pursuant to sections 1125, 1128 and 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code. At that time, the Debtor also will request the Bankruptcy Court to approve the prepetition solicitation of votes on the Plan.
          2. Motion To Continue Use Of Existing Bank Account And Business Forms
          Because the Debtor expects the Chapter 11 Case to be pending for approximately 30 days, and because of the administrative hardship that any operating changes will impose, the Debtor will seek authority to continue using its existing bank account and business forms.
          3. Retention Of Noticing And Voting Agent
          The Debtor intends to seek Bankruptcy Court approval to retain and employ AlixPartners as noticing agent and Voting Agent in connection with the Chapter 11 Case. Among other things, AlixPartners will (a) distribute required notices to parties-in-interest, (b) provide the services of the Voting Agent as described herein and (c) provide such other administrative services that the Debtor may require. Such assistance will permit the Debtor to focus on its reorganization efforts.

14


 

          4. Other “First Day” Motions
          Upon the commencement of the Chapter 11 Case, the Debtor also intends to seek court approval to provide for, among other things:
    certain procedures specific to a prepackaged chapter 11 case, including, deferring the filing deadline or waiving the requirement for filing statements of financial affairs and schedules of assets, liabilities and contracts.
B. Anticipated Timetable For The Chapter 11 Case
          Following the Petition Date, the Company expects the Chapter 11 Case to proceed on the following estimated timetable. There can be no assurance, however, that the orders of the Bankruptcy Court to be entered on or shortly after the Petition Date will permit the Chapter 11 Case to proceed as expeditiously as anticipated.
          The Company anticipates that there will be a hearing in the Bankruptcy Court to consider the adequacy of this Disclosure Statement and confirmation of the Plan, and that such hearing will occur approximately 30 days after the Petition Date. Assuming that the Plan is confirmed, the Plan provides that the Effective Date will be the first Business Day on which all conditions to the Plan’s consummation (as set forth in Article VIII of the Plan have been satisfied or waived. See Section V.H.1— “Summary Of The Plan – Confirmation And Consummation Of The Plan – Conditions To Confirmation.” Based upon information currently available, the Debtor believes that the Effective Date could occur shortly after the Confirmation Date. There can be no assurance, however, that this projected timetable can be achieved.
V. SUMMARY OF THE PLAN
          This section provides a summary of the structure and means for implementation of the Plan and the classification and treatment of Claims and Interests under the Plan, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Plan (as well as the exhibits thereto and definitions therein).
          The primary objectives of the Plan are to (a) maximize the value of the ultimate recoveries to all creditor groups on a fair and equitable basis and (b) settle, compromise, or otherwise dispose of certain Claims or Interests on terms that the Company believes to be fair and reasonable and in the best interests of its Estate and creditors.
          The statements contained in this Disclosure Statement include summaries of the provisions contained in the Plan and in the documents referred to therein. The statements contained in this Disclosure Statement do not purport to be precise or complete statements of all the terms and provisions of the Plan or the documents referred to therein, and reference is made to the Plan and to such documents for the full and complete statements of such terms and provisions.
          The Plan itself and the documents referred to therein control the actual treatment of Claims against and Interests in the Debtor under the Plan and will, upon the Effective Date, be binding upon all Holders of Claims against and Interests in the Debtor and its Estate, the Reorganized Debtor, and other parties-in-interest, to the extent applicable in each case. In the event of any conflict between this Disclosure

15


 

Statement and the Plan or any other operative document, the terms of the Plan and such other operative document shall control.
A. Overview Of Chapter 11
          Chapter 11 is the principal business reorganization chapter of the Bankruptcy Code. Under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, a debtor is authorized to reorganize or liquidate its business for the benefit of itself, its creditors, and its interest holders. Another goal of chapter 11 is to promote equality of treatment for similarly situated creditors and similarly situated interest holders with respect to the distribution of a debtor’s assets.
          The commencement of a chapter 11 case creates an estate that is comprised of all of the legal and equitable interests of the debtor as of the filing date. The Bankruptcy Code provides that the debtor may continue its business and remain in possession of its property as a “debtor-in-possession.”
          The consummation of a plan of reorganization or liquidation is the principal objective of a chapter 11 case. The plan sets forth the means for satisfying claims against and interests in a debtor. Confirmation of a plan by the Bankruptcy Court makes that plan binding upon the debtor and any creditor of or equity security holder in the debtor, whether or not such creditor or equity security holder (i) is impaired under or has accepted the plan or (ii) receives or retains any property under the plan.
B. Overall Structure Of The Plan
          The Company believes that the Plan provides the best and most expedient possible recovery to Holders of Claims against and Interests in the Debtor. Under the Plan, Claims against and Interests in the Debtor are divided into different Classes. The Classes of Claims against and Interests in the Debtor created under the Plan, the treatment of those Classes under the Plan and distributions, if any, to be made under the Plan are described below.
C. Classification And Treatment Of Claims And Interests
          The Plan classifies Claims and Interests separately and provides different treatment for different Classes of Claims and Interests in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code. As described more fully below, the Plan provides, separately for each Class, that Holders of certain Claims will receive types of consideration based on the different rights of the Holders of Claims in each Class. A Claim or Interest is placed in a particular Class only to the extent that the Claim or Interest falls within the description of that Class and is classified in other Classes to the extent that any portion of the Claim or Interest falls within the description of such other Classes. A Claim is also placed in a particular Class for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to the Plan only to the extent that such Claim is an Allowed Claim in that Class and such Claim has not been paid, released, or otherwise settled prior to the Effective Date.
          Procedures for the distributions pursuant to the Plan, including matters that are expected to affect the timing of the receipt of distributions by Holders of Claims, are described in Section V.F — “Summary Of The Plan – Provisions Governing Distributions.”
          In accordance with section 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, Administrative Claims (including Professional Fee Claims) and Priority Tax Claims have not been classified.

16


 

          1. Introduction. Pursuant to section 1122 of the Bankruptcy Code, set forth below is a designation of Classes of Claims against and Interests in the Debtor. In accordance with section 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, Administrative Claims and Priority Tax Claims have not been classified, and the respective treatment of such Unclassified Claims is set forth in Article II of the Plan.
               A Claim or Interest is placed in a particular Class only to the extent that the Claim or Interest falls within the description of that Class and is classified in other Classes to the extent that any portion of the Claim or Interest falls within the description of such other Classes. A Claim is also placed in a particular Class for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to the Plan only to the extent that such Claim is an Allowed Claim in that Class and such Claim has not been paid, released, or otherwise settled prior to the Effective Date.

For the avoidance of doubt, in the event an Allowed Holder of a PIK Loan Unsecured Claim receives alternative treatment pursuant to section 3.4 of the Plan, the portion of the recovery such Holder is entitled to under this section that it has elected not to receive shall be reallocated to the other Holders of Allowed PIK Loan Unsecured Claims on a Pro Rata basis.

          5. Special Provision Regarding Unimpaired Claims.

          6. Procedures For Resolving Disputed, Contingent, And Unliquidated Claims. The Debtor and the Reorganized Debtor may contest the amount and validity of any disputed, contingent or unliquidated Claim in the ordinary course of business in the manner and venue in which such Claim would have been determined, resolved or adjudicated if the Chapter 11 Case had not been commenced.
D. Acceptance Or Rejection Of The Plan
          1. Classes Entitled To Vote. Each Impaired Class of Claims or Interests of the Debtor that is entitled to receive or retain property or any interest under the Plan is entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan. By operation of law, each Unimpaired Class of Claims is deemed to have accepted the Plan and, therefore, is not entitled to vote.
          2. Acceptance By Impaired Classes. The Impaired Class of Claims (Class 2 – PIK Loan Unsecured Claims) shall have accepted the Plan if (a) the Holders of at least two-thirds in amount of the Allowed Claims actually voting in the Class have voted to accept the Plan and (b) the Holders of more than one-half in

19


 

number of the Allowed Claims actually voting in the Class have voted to accept the Plan, not counting the vote of any Holder designated under section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Impaired Class of Interests shall have accepted the Plan if the Holder of Class 5 Equity Interests has voted to accept the Plan.
          3. Elimination Of Classes. To the extent applicable, any Class that does not contain any Allowed Claims or any Claims temporarily allowed for voting purposes under Bankruptcy Rule 3018, as of the date of the commencement of the Confirmation Hearing, shall be deemed to have been deleted from the Plan for purposes of (a) voting to accept or reject the Plan and (b) determining whether it has accepted or rejected the Plan under section 1129(a)(8) of the Bankruptcy Code.
E. Means For Implementation Of The Plan
          1. Continued Legal Existence. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Debtor will continue to exist after the Effective Date as a separate legal entity, with all the powers under applicable law in Bermuda and pursuant to the Debtor’s organizational documents in effect prior to the Effective Date (provided that such organizational documents shall be amended to prohibit the Reorganized Debtor from issuing non-voting equity securities, to the extent necessary to comply with section 1123(a) of the Bankruptcy Code), without prejudice to any right to terminate such existence (whether by merger or otherwise) under applicable law after the Effective Date.
          2. New Boards Of Directors. The identity of the members of the New Board of each of the Reorganized Debtor, Worldwide and Travelport Limited shall be identified in the Plan Supplement. As of the Effective Date, the Holders of PIK Loan Unsecured Claims shall have the right to select one member of the New Board of each of the Reorganized Debtor, Worldwide and Travelport Limited for an initial term of two (2) years, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Shareholders’ Agreement.
          3. PIK Loan Restructuring. The Debtor and Worldwide, as joint proponents of the Plan, shall take, or shall cause to be taken, as applicable, such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effect the transactions contemplated by the Plan (such actions, as set forth below, and together with the Additional Share Distribution, the “PIK Loan Restructuring”). In furtherance thereto, in the event any of the following have not yet taken place, the Debtor and Worldwide, as joint proponents of the Plan, as applicable, shall or shall cause (directly or indirectly, as applicable) on or prior to the Effective Date:

               (h) the New Sub to execute and effect the New Sub Guarantee and the New Sub Pledge;

20


 

               (i) distribute $85 million dollars received from Travelport Limited to the Holders of the PIK Loan Unsecured Claims, on a Pro Rata basis, as a pay-down of PIK Loan (the “PIK Loan Cash Distribution”);
               (j) distribute $207.5 million of the Second Lien OpCo Term Loan (the “Second Lien OpCo Term Loan Exchange Portion”) to the Holders of the PIK Loan Unsecured Claims in exchange for $207.5 million of the PIK Loan;
               (k) the Shareholder Party to form Travelport NewCo, and the Shareholder Party to transfer its 100% interest in Worldwide to Travelport NewCo in exchange for 100% of the equity of Travelport NewCo;
               (l) issue 40% of the fully diluted issued and outstanding common stock of Worldwide, as follows: (i) the Effective Date Common Stock Distribution to the Holders of PIK Loan Unsecured Claims on a Pro Rata basis and (ii) the Effective Date Common Stock Escrow Distribution to the Equity Escrow Agent (collectively, the “Common Stock Issuance”); provided, however in the event BMA Approval is not granted for any particular Holder of PIK Loan Unsecured Claims the issuance shall nonetheless be deemed effective subject to the satisfaction of the condition contained in section 8.2(e) of the Plan. The shares of Worldwide that would otherwise be issued to Holder(s) that have not obtained BMA Approval will (i) be issued into escrow (along with any dividends, distributions or other consideration received in respect of the Worldwide shares), and (ii) will be released from escrow, along with any dividends, distributions or other consideration received, to such Holder(s) on such later date when BMA Approval is obtained. Holders(s) that have not obtained BMA Approval may transfer the right to receive such shares held in escrow to a valid transferee (as permitted pursuant to the Shareholders’ Agreement, but not subject to the right of first offer set forth therein). In the event BMA Approval is not obtained for the Holder or a valid transferee within three months following the Effective Date such undistributed shares of Worldwide shall be reallocated and distributed to the Holders of Allowed PIK Loan Unsecured Claims that have received BMA Approval on a Pro Rata basis;
               (m) execute the Shareholders’ Agreement, the Equity Escrow Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement;
               (n) execute the Amendment Agreement and the Amended and Restated PIK Loan Credit Agreement, such amendments shall have become effective, and distribute the Tranche A Extended PIK Loan and the Tranche B Extended PIK Loan to the Holders of PIK Loan Unsecured Claims on a Pro Rata basis;

               (p) OpCo and the other Debtor-affiliates to the OpCo Credit Facility to execute the OpCo Credit Facility Amendment and such amendment shall have become effective (each of the foregoing (a) – (p) collectively, the “Conditions”).
          4. Reinstatement Of Equity Interests And The Common Stock Issuance.(a) The reinstatement of Equity Interests by the Reorganized Debtor and the Common Stock Issuance, the Additional Share Distribution and the shares issued pursuant to the Management Incentive Plan are authorized without the need for any further corporate action (other than standard Worldwide corporate governance approval) or further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court or any other entity except for those expressly required pursuant to the Plan; provided, however that the Common Stock Issuance is subject to BMA Approval as described herein. On the Effective Date, Equity Interests in the Reorganized Debtor shall be retained and the Common Stock Issuance, consisting of the Effective Date Common Stock Distribution and the Effective Date Common Stock Escrow Distribution shall be made to the Holders of PIK Loan Unsecured Claims and the Equity Escrow Agent, as applicable.

21


 

               All shares issued in the Common Stock Issuance, the Additional Share Distribution, and pursuant to the Management Incentive Plan shall be duly authorized, validly issued and, if applicable, fully paid and non-assessable.
          5. Equity Escrow Distribution.(a) Pursuant to section 3.3 of the Plan, and as is also described in the Shareholders’ Agreement and the Equity Escrow Agreement, the Equity Escrow Agent shall make the Post-Effective Date Common Stock Distribution to Holders of PIK Loan Unsecured Claims on a Pro Rata basis in accordance with the Post-Effective Date Common Stock Distribution Schedule subject to the occurrence of a Liquidity Event as described in section 5.6 of the Plan.
          6. Liquidity Event.(a) As is also described in the Equity Escrow Agreement, upon the occurrence of a Liquidity Event, the Equity Escrow Agent will cease the Post-Effective Date Common Stock Distribution, and any shares of Worldwide still held by the Equity Escrow Agent thereafter shall be repurchased by Travelport NewCo for no additional consideration, and all dividends, distributions and other consideration received in respect of such shares shall be returned to Travelport NewCo; provided, however, in the event a Subject IPO or a Subject Transaction is not consummated as set forth in section 5.6 of the Plan, the Equity Escrow Agent shall resume the Post-Effective Date Common Stock Distribution in accordance with the Post-Effective Date Common Stock Distribution Schedule.
    In the event a Subject IPO is not closed within three months from the announcement date of the Subject IPO, resulting in the Amended and Restated PIK Loan Credit Agreement being paid in full in Cash during that time period, then the Post-Effective Date Common Stock Distribution will continue in accordance with the Post-Effective Date Common Stock Distribution Schedule, and the release of shares of Worldwide by the Equity Escrow Agent contemplated in the Plan shall be made as if no announcement had been made, subject to an automatic one-time three month extension to close the Subject IPO for SEC approval or other applicable securities regulatory approval if the necessary approval is actively being sought using commercially reasonable best efforts but no decision has yet been made by the SEC or other applicable securities regulatory agency to approve.
 
    In the event a Subject Transaction is announced (i) prior to March 31, 2012 but is not closed (resulting in the Amended and Restated PIK Loan Credit Agreement being paid in full in Cash during that time period) prior to October 31, 2012, or (ii) after March 31, 2012 but is not closed (resulting in the Amended and Restated PIK Loan Credit Agreement being paid in full in Cash during that time period) prior to six months following the announcement of the Subject Transaction, then the Post-Effective Date Common Stock Distribution will continue in accordance with the Post-Effective Date Common Stock Distribution Schedule, and the release of shares by the Equity Escrow Agent contemplated in the Plan shall be made as if no announcement had been made; provided, however, that these closing deadlines are subject to an automatic one-time three-month extension if necessary regulatory approval of the sale, amalgamation or merger is actively being sought using commercially reasonable best efforts but no decision has yet been made by the regulatory agency to approve or block the Subject Transaction; provided further, however, in no case, may the time period between announcement and closing with respect to clause (i) above exceed 365 days and with respect to clause (ii) above exceed 270 days, before the Post-Effective Date Common Stock Distribution will continue in accordance with the Post-Effective Date Common Stock Distribution Schedule, and the release of shares by the Equity Escrow Agent contemplated in the Plan shall be made as if no announcement had been made; provided further, however, that in any event, if and when any Subject Transaction is consummated the Post-Effective Date Common Stock Distribution will stop.
          7. Section 1145 And Other Exemptions. Pursuant to section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, the offering, issuance and distribution of any securities contemplated by the Plan and any and all settlement agreements incorporated therein, including shares issued in the Common Stock Issuance, the Post-Effective Date Common Stock Distribution, the Additional Share Distribution and pursuant to the Management Incentive Plan shall be exempt from, among other things, the registration requirements of section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933 (as now

22


 

in effect or hereafter amended) and any other applicable law requiring registration prior to the offering, issuance, distribution or sale of securities.
          8. Additional Share Distribution. Pursuant to section 3.3 of the Plan, the Disbursing Agent shall make a Pro Rata distribution of the Additional Shares to the Holders of PIK Loan Unsecured Claims in accordance with section 3.3 of the Plan (the “Additional Share Distribution”); provided that the total amount of the Additional Shares issued shall be reduced to the extent necessary, in the reasonable opinion of tax counsel, in order to prevent an “ownership change” within the meaning of section 382(g) of the IRC, with respect to Worldwide, prior to the consummation of a sale, merger, amalgamation or IPO transaction (an “Ownership Change”). To the extent the full amount of the Additional Shares is not issued pursuant to the preceding sentence, (i) the Holders of PIK Loan Unsecured Claims will be issued such shares that have not yet been issued or receive an amount of Cash equal to the fair market value of such shares upon the earlier of the first date on which such shares can be issued without causing an Ownership Change or the consummation of a sale, merger, amalgamation or IPO transaction, respectively, unless, solely in the case of the issuance of the Additional Shares (and not in the case of payment of Cash), in the reasonable opinion of tax counsel, it would cause an Ownership Change; and (ii) until such time as all of the Additional Shares are issued or payment in Cash with respect to such shares is made, in each case pursuant to clause (i) above, Worldwide shall use its best reasonable efforts to prevent any “owner shift” or “equity structure shift” within the meaning of section 382(g) of the IRC with respect to Worldwide. In the event that the Majority Shareholder takes any action, directly or indirectly, to cause an Ownership Change, the Additional Shares will be promptly issued as described above.
          9. Treatment Of The Second Lien OpCo Term Loan, The Tranche A Extended PIK Loan And The Tranche B Extended PIK Loan. The Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor and Worldwide shall, and by accepting distributions pursuant to the Plan each Holder of an Allowed PIK Loan Unsecured Claim receiving distributions pursuant to the Plan shall be deemed to have agreed to, (i) treat each of the Tranche A Extended PIK Loan, the Tranche B Extended PIK Loan and the Second Lien OpCo Term Loan as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes and (ii) not take any position on any U.S. federal, state or local income or franchise tax return or take any other reporting position that is inconsistent with the treatment of the Tranche A Extended PIK Loan, the Tranche B Extended PIK Loan and the Second Lien OpCo Term Loan as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
          10. Treatment Of The Post-Effective Date Common Stock Distribution And The Additional Share Distribution. If a portion (the “Imputed Interest Potion”) of any Post-Effective Date Common Stock Distribution or Additional Share Distribution (collectively, the “Unreleased Worldwide Stock Distributions”) is recharacterized as imputed interest under the IRC pursuant to section 483 thereof or otherwise, the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor and Worldwide shall, and by accepting distributions pursuant to the Plan each Holder of an Allowed PIK Loan Unsecured Claim receiving distributions pursuant to the Plan shall be deemed to have agreed to, (i) for all U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes, treat the Imputed Interest Portion as paid first in the form of any Cash or property other than shares of Worldwide that are part of such Unreleased Worldwide Stock Distribution, and thereafter, to the extent necessary, a portion of the shares of Worldwide distributed in such Unreleased Worldwide Stock Distribution (such portion, the “Imputed Interest Shares”); (ii) treat any Imputed Interest Shares as separate shares (and not as a portion of each Worldwide share that is part of such Unreleased Worldwide Stock Distribution); and (iii) not take any position on any U.S. federal, state or local income or franchise tax return or take any other reporting position that is inconsistent with the treatment of the Imputed Interest Portion and the Imputed Interest Shares as provided in section 5.10 of the Plan.
          11. Management Incentive Plan. The post-Effective Date Management Incentive Plan shall be implemented by the New Board of Worldwide subject to the terms of the Restructuring Support Agreement.
          12. Corporate Action. Each of the matters provided for under the Plan involving the corporate structure of the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor or any corporate action to be taken by or required of the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor shall be deemed to have occurred and be effective as provided therein, and shall be authorized, approved and, to the extent taken prior to the Effective Date, ratified in all respects without any requirement of further action by stockholders, members, creditors, directors, or managers of the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor.

23


 

          13. Preservation Of Certain Causes Of Action. In accordance with section 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Reorganized Debtor shall retain and may (but is not required to) enforce all Retained Actions. After the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right to bring, settle, release, compromise, or enforce such Retained Actions (or decline to do any of the foregoing), without further approval of the Bankruptcy Court. The Reorganized Debtor or any successors, in the exercise of their sole discretion, may pursue such Retained Actions so long as it is in the best interests of the Reorganized Debtor or any successors holding such rights of action. The failure of the Debtor to specifically list any claim, right of action, suit, proceeding or other Retained Action in the Plan does not, and will not be deemed to, constitute a waiver or release by the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor of such claim, right of action, suit, proceeding or other Retained Action, and unless any causes of action against an entity are expressly waived, relinquished, exculpated, released, compromised or settled in the Plan or a Bankruptcy Court order, the Reorganized Debtor expressly reserves the right to pursue such claims, rights of action, suits, proceedings and other Retained Actions in its sole discretion and, therefore, no preclusion doctrine, collateral estoppel, issue preclusion, claim preclusion, estoppel (judicial, equitable, or otherwise) or laches will apply to such claim, right of action, suit, proceeding, or other Retained Action upon, after, or as a consequence of the Confirmation or consummation of the Plan. In accordance with section 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, any claim, right of action, suit, proceeding or other Retained Action that the Debtor may hold against any entity shall vest in the Reorganized Debtor. The Reorganized Debtor, through its authorized agents or representatives, shall retain and may exclusively enforce any and all such claims, rights of action, suits, proceedings or other Retained Actions. The Reorganized Debtor reserves and shall retain the foregoing causes of action notwithstanding the rejection or repudiation of any Executory Contract during the Chapter 11 Case or pursuant to the Plan.
          14. Effectuating Documents; Further Transactions. The Debtor and the Reorganized Debtor, and their respective officers and designees, are authorized to execute, issue, deliver, file, or record such contracts, securities, instruments, releases, indentures, and other agreements or documents, and take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate and further evidence the terms and conditions of the Plan, or to otherwise comply with applicable law, without further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court or any other entity except for those expressly required pursuant to the Plan.
          15. Exemption From Certain Transfer Taxes And Recording Fees. Pursuant to section 1146(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, any transfers from the Debtor to the Reorganized Debtor or to any other Person or entity pursuant to the Plan, or any agreement regarding the transfer of title to or ownership of the Debtor’s real or personal property will not be subject to any document recording tax, stamp tax, conveyance fee, sales tax, intangibles or similar tax, mortgage tax, stamp act, real estate transfer tax, mortgage recording tax, Uniform Commercial Code filing or recording fee, or other similar tax or governmental assessment, and the Confirmation Order will direct the appropriate state or local governmental officials or agents to forego the collection of any such tax or governmental assessment and to accept for filing and recordation any of the foregoing instruments or other documents without the payment of any such tax or governmental assessment.
          16. Further Authorization. The Debtor and the Reorganized Debtor shall be entitled to seek such orders, judgments, injunctions, and rulings as they deem necessary to carry out the intentions and purposes, and to give full effect to the provisions, of the Plan.
          17. Dissolution Of Creditors’ Committee. The Debtor does not anticipate a Creditors’ Committee will be formed in the Chapter 11 Case because general unsecured creditors are Unimpaired under the Plan. Notwithstanding this, a Creditors’ Committee, if appointed, shall continue in existence until the Effective Date to exercise those powers and perform those duties specified in section 1103 of the Bankruptcy Code and shall perform such other duties as it may have been assigned by the Bankruptcy Court prior to the Effective Date. On the Effective Date, the Creditors’ Committee, if appointed, shall be dissolved and the Creditors’ Committee’s members shall be deemed released of all their duties, responsibilities, and obligations in connection with the Chapter 11 Case or the Plan and its implementation, and the retention or employment of the Creditors’ Committee’s attorneys, accountants, professionals, and other agents shall terminate, except with respect to (a) all Professional Fee Claims and (b) any appeals of the Confirmation Order.

24


 

F. Provisions Governing Distributions
          1. Allowed Claims And Interests. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor shall make distributions only to Holders of Allowed Claims. A Holder of a Disputed Claim shall receive only a distribution on account thereof when and to the extent that such Holder’s Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim.
          2. Distributions For Claims Allowed As Of The Effective Date. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or as ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, distributions to be made on account of Claims that are Allowed Claims as of the Effective Date shall be made on the Effective Date. Any payment or distribution required to be made under the Plan on a day other than a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.
          3. Payments And Distributions On Disputed Claims. Distributions made after the Effective Date to Holders of Claims that are not Allowed Claims as of the Effective Date but which later become Allowed Claims shall be deemed to have been made on the Effective Date.
          4. Special Rules For Distributions To Holders Of Disputed Claims. Notwithstanding any provision otherwise in the Plan and except as otherwise agreed to by the relevant parties: (a) no partial payments and no partial distributions shall be made with respect to a Disputed Claim until all such disputes in connection with such Disputed Claim have been resolved by settlement or Final Order, and (b) any entity that holds both an Allowed Claim and a Disputed Claim shall not receive any distribution on the Allowed Claim unless and until all objections to the Disputed Claim have been resolved by settlement or Final Order and the Disputed Claim has been Allowed.
          5. Interest And Penalties On Claims. Unless otherwise specifically provided for in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, or required by applicable bankruptcy law, postpetition interest and penalties shall not accrue or be paid on any Claims and no Holder of a Claim shall be entitled to interest and penalties accruing on or after the Petition Date through the date such Claim is satisfied in accordance with the terms of the Plan.
          6. Delivery Of Distributions And Undeliverable Or Unclaimed Distributions.
               (a) Delivery Of Distributions In General. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Disbursing Agent shall make distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims at the address for each such Holder as indicated on the Reorganized Debtor’s records as of the date of any such distribution; provided that the method of delivery of such distributions shall be determined at the discretion of the Reorganized Debtor.
               (b) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares will be issued or distributed in the Common Stock Issuance, the Additional Share Distribution or pursuant to the Management Incentive Plan under the Plan. The actual distribution of shares in the Common Stock Issuance, the Additional Share Distribution and pursuant to the Management Incentive Plan will be rounded to the next higher or lower number as follows: (i) fractions less than one-half (1/2) shall be rounded to the next lower whole number and (ii) fractions equal to or greater than one-half (1/2) shall be rounded to the next higher whole number. The total number of shares to be distributed in the Common Stock Issuance, the Additional Share Distribution and pursuant to the Management Incentive Plan will be adjusted as necessary to account for such rounding.
               (c) Minimum Distributions. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Disbursing Agent shall not be required to make distributions or payments of Cash of less than the amount of $50 and shall not be required to make partial distributions or payments of fractions of dollars. Whenever any payment or distribution of a fraction of a dollar under the Plan would otherwise be called for, the actual payment or distribution will reflect a rounding of such fraction to the nearest whole dollar, with half dollars or less being rounded down.
               (d) Means Of Cash Payment. Payments of Cash made pursuant to the Plan shall be in U.S. dollars and shall be made, at the option and in the sole discretion of the Reorganized Debtor, by (a) checks drawn on or (b) wire transfer from a domestic bank selected by the Reorganized Debtor. Cash payments to foreign creditors may be made, at the option of the Reorganized Debtor, in such funds and by such means as are necessary or customary in a particular foreign jurisdiction.

25


 

               (e) Undeliverable Distributions And Unclaimed Property. In the event that any distribution to any Holder is returned as undeliverable, no distribution to such Holder shall be made unless and until the Disbursing Agent has determined the then current address of such Holder, at which time such distribution shall be made to such Holder without interest; provided, however, that such distributions shall be deemed unclaimed property under section 347(b) of the Bankruptcy Code at the expiration of one year from the Effective Date. After such date, all unclaimed property or interests in property shall revert to the Reorganized Debtor (notwithstanding any applicable federal or state escheat, abandoned, or unclaimed property laws to the contrary), and the Claim of any Holder to such property or interest in property shall be discharged and forever barred.
          7. Withholding And Reporting Requirements. In connection with the Plan and all distributions thereunder, the Reorganized Debtor shall comply with all withholding and reporting requirements imposed by any federal, state, local, or foreign taxing authority, and all distributions hereunder shall be subject to any such withholding and reporting requirements. The Reorganized Debtor shall be authorized to take any and all actions that may be necessary or appropriate to comply with such withholding and reporting requirements.
          8. Setoffs.(a) Except as otherwise set forth in the Plan, the Reorganized Debtor may, pursuant to section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or applicable non-bankruptcy laws, but shall not be required to, set off against any Claim, the payments or other distributions to be made pursuant to the Plan in respect of such Claim, or claims of any nature whatsoever that the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor may have against the Holder of such Claim; provided, however, that neither the failure to do so nor the allowance of any Claim hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release by the Reorganized Debtor of any such claim that the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor may have against such Holder.
G. Treatment Of Executory Contracts And Unexpired Leases
          1. Assumption Of Executory Contracts And Unexpired Leases. On the Effective Date, all Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases of the Debtor shall be deemed assumed in accordance with the provisions and requirements of sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, except those Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases that have previously expired or terminated pursuant to their own terms. An Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that is deemed to be assumed pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall be referred to as an “Assumed Contract.”
          Entry of the Confirmation Order by the Bankruptcy Court shall constitute findings by the Bankruptcy Court that (a) the Reorganized Debtor has properly provided for the cure of any defaults that might have existed, (b) each assumption is in the best interest of the Reorganized Debtor, its Estate, and all parties in interest in the Chapter 11 Case and (c) the requirements for assumption of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to be assumed had been satisfied. Except as otherwise provided in the following sentence, all cure payments under any Assumed Contract would be made by the Reorganized Debtor on the Effective Date or as soon as practicable thereafter. In the event of a dispute, cure payments required by section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be paid upon entry of a Final Order resolving such dispute.

The failure of the Debtor, the Requisite Consenting Lenders and the Shareholder Party to exercise any of the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of any other rights, and each such right shall be deemed an ongoing right that may be asserted at any time.
I. Effect Of Plan Confirmation

               (a) resolve any matters related to the assumption, assumption and assignment, or rejection of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to which the Debtor is a party or with respect to which the Debtor or Reorganized Debtor may be liable and to hear, determine, and, if necessary, liquidate any Claims arising therefrom;
               (b) decide or resolve any motions, adversary proceedings, contested or litigated matters, and any other matters and grant or deny any applications involving the Debtor that may be pending on the Effective Date (which jurisdiction shall be non-exclusive as to any such non-core matters);
               (c) enter such orders as may be necessary or appropriate to implement or consummate the provisions of the Plan and all contracts, instruments, releases, and other agreements or documents created in connection with the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, or the Confirmation Order;
               (d) resolve any cases, controversies, suits, or disputes that may arise in connection with the consummation, interpretation, or enforcement of the Plan or any contract, instrument, release, or other agreement or document that is executed or created pursuant to the Plan, or any entity’s rights arising from or obligations incurred in connection with the Plan or such documents, provided, however, that the Bankruptcy Court shall not have exclusive jurisdiction over matters arising out of, or related to, the PIK Loan Restructuring Documents;
               (e) modify the Plan before or after the Effective Date pursuant to section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code or modify the Disclosure Statement, the Confirmation Order, or any contract, instrument, release, or other agreement or document created in connection with the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, or the Confirmation Order, or remedy any defect or omission or reconcile any inconsistency in any Bankruptcy Court order, the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, the Confirmation Order, or any contract, instrument, release, or other agreement or document created in connection with the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, or the Confirmation Order, in such manner as may be necessary or appropriate to consummate the Plan;
               (f) hear and determine all applications for compensation and reimbursement of expenses of Professionals under the Plan or under sections 330, 331, 503(b), and 1129(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code; provided, however, that from and after the Effective Date the payment of fees and expenses of the Reorganized Debtor, including Professional Fee Claims, shall be made in the ordinary course of business and shall not be subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court;

31


 

               (g) issue injunctions, enter and implement other orders, or take such other actions as may be necessary or appropriate to restrain interference by any entity with consummation, implementation, or enforcement of the Plan or the Confirmation Order;
               (h) adjudicate controversies arising out of the administration of the Estate or the implementation of the Plan;
               (i) hear and determine causes of action by or on behalf of the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor;
               (j) enter and implement such orders as are necessary or appropriate if the Confirmation Order is for any reason or in any respect modified, stayed, reversed, revoked, or vacated, or distributions pursuant to the Plan are enjoined or stayed;
               (k) determine any other matters that may arise in connection with or relate to the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, the Confirmation Order, or any contract, instrument, release, or other agreement or document created in connection with the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, or the Confirmation Order, provided, however, that the Bankruptcy Court shall not have exclusive jurisdiction over matters arising out of, or related to, the PIK Loan Restructuring Documents;
               (l) enforce all orders, judgments, injunctions, releases, exculpations, indemnifications, and rulings entered in connection with the Chapter 11 Case;
               (m) hear and determine such other matters as may be provided in the Confirmation Order or as may be authorized under the Bankruptcy Code; and
               (n) enter an order closing the Chapter 11 Case.
          2. Failure Of Bankruptcy Court To Exercise Jurisdiction. If the Bankruptcy Court abstains from exercising, or declines to exercise, jurisdiction or is otherwise without jurisdiction over any matter, including matters set forth in section 10.1 of the Plan, the provisions of Article X of the Plan shall have no effect upon and shall not control, prohibit, or limit the exercise of jurisdiction by any other court having jurisdiction with respect to such matter.
K. Allowance And Payment Of Certain Administrative Claims
          1. Professional Fee Claims.
               (a) Final Fee Applications. All final requests for Professional Fee Claims shall be filed no later than sixty (60) after the Effective Date. After notice and a hearing in accordance with the procedures established by the Bankruptcy Code and prior orders of the Bankruptcy Court, the Allowed amounts of such Professional Fee Claims shall be determined by the Bankruptcy Court.
               (b) Payment of Interim Amounts. Subject to the Holdback Amount, on the Effective Date, the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor shall pay all amounts owing to Professionals for all outstanding amounts relating to prior periods through the Effective Date. In order to receive payment on the Effective Date for unbilled fees and expenses incurred through such date, no later than two (2) days prior to the Effective Date, the Professionals shall estimate fees and expenses due for periods that have not been billed as of the Effective Date and shall deliver such estimate to counsel for the Debtor. Within fifteen (15) days after the Effective Date, a Professional receiving payment for the estimated period shall submit a detailed invoice covering such period.
               (c) On the Effective Date, the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor shall pay to the Disbursing Agent, in order to fund the Holdback Escrow Account, Cash equal to the aggregate Holdback Amount for all Professionals for whom a deposit was made. The Disbursing Agent shall maintain the Holdback Escrow Account in trust for the Professionals with respect to whom fees have been held back. Such funds shall not be considered property of the Reorganized Debtor. The remaining amount of Professional Fee Claims owing to the Professionals shall be paid to such Professionals by the Disbursing Agent from the Holdback Escrow

32


 

Account when such claims are finally allowed by the Bankruptcy Court. When all Professional Fee Claims have been paid in full, amounts remaining in the Holdback Escrow Account, if any, shall be paid to the Reorganized Debtor.
               (d) Upon the Effective Date, any requirement that Professionals comply with sections 327 through 331 of the Bankruptcy Code in seeking retention or compensation for services rendered after such date will terminate, and the Reorganized Debtor shall employ and pay Professionals in the ordinary course of business (including the reasonable fees and expenses incurred by Professionals in preparing, reviewing, prosecuting or addressing any issues with respect to final fee applications).
          2. Other Administrative Claims.(a) All other requests for payment of an Administrative Claim (other than as set forth in section 11.1 of the Plan) must be filed with the Bankruptcy Court and served on counsel for the Debtor no later than thirty (30) days after the Effective Date. Unless the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor object to an Administrative Claim by the Claims Objection Deadline, such Administrative Claim shall be deemed Allowed in the amount requested. In the event that the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor objects to an Administrative Claim, the Bankruptcy Court shall determine the Allowed amount of such Administrative Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no request for payment of an Administrative Claim need be filed with respect to an Administrative Claim (a) which is paid or payable by the Debtor in the ordinary course of business or (b) the payment of which has been approved by the Bankruptcy Court.
L. Miscellaneous Provisions
          1. Effectuating Documents And Further Transactions. The Debtor and the Reorganized Debtor shall be authorized to execute, deliver, file, or record such contracts, instruments, releases, and other agreements or documents and take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate, implement, and further evidence the terms and conditions of the Plan, including, without limitation, (a) the PIK Loan Cash Distribution, (b) the Second Lien OpCo Term Loan (pursuant to the New Sub Investment and the Second Lien OpCo Term Loan Exchange Portion), (c) the Second Lien OpCo Term Loan Guarantee, (d) the New Sub Guarantee and the New Sub Pledge, (e) the Common Stock Issuance, (f) the Additional Share Distribution, and (g) the Tranche A Extended PIK Loan and the Tranche B Extended PIK Loan.
          2. Reservation Of Rights. Except as expressly set forth in the Plan, the Plan shall have no force or effect unless the Bankruptcy Court shall have entered the Confirmation Order. None of the filing of the Plan, any statement or provision contained in the Plan, or the taking of any action by the Debtor with respect to the Plan or the Disclosure Statement, shall be or shall be deemed to be an admission or waiver of any rights of the Debtor with respect to the Holders of Claims or Interests prior to the Effective Date.
          3. Corporate Action. Prior to, on, or after the Effective Date (as appropriate), all matters expressly provided for under the Plan and the PIK Loan Restructuring that would otherwise require approval of the stockholders or directors of the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor shall be deemed to have occurred and shall be in effect prior to, on, or after the Effective Date (as appropriate) pursuant to the applicable general corporation or other applicable law of the jurisdiction in which the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor is incorporated without any requirement of further action by the stockholders or directors of the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor.
          4. Payment Of Statutory Fees. All fees payable pursuant to section 1930 of title 28, United States Code, as determined by the Bankruptcy Court, shall be paid for each quarter (including any fraction thereof) until the first to occur of the Chapter 11 Case being converted, dismissed, or closed.
          5. Amendment Or Modification Of The Plan. Subject to section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code and, to the extent applicable, sections 1122, 1123, and 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtor reserves the right to alter, amend, or

33


 

modify the Plan, at any time prior to or after the Confirmation Date but prior to the substantial consummation of the Plan; provided, however, that the Debtor shall not be entitled to alter, amend, or modify the Plan without the prior consent of the Requisite Consenting Lenders and the Shareholder Party, except as provided in the Restructuring Support Agreement. If the Debtor alters, amends, or modifies the Plan in accordance with the foregoing sentence, a Holder of a Claim or Interest that has accepted the Plan shall be deemed to have accepted the Plan, as altered, amended or modified, if the proposed alteration, amendment or modification does not materially and adversely change the treatment of the Claim or Interest of such Holder.
          6. Severability Of Plan Provisions. If, prior to the Confirmation Date, any term or provision of the Plan is determined by the Bankruptcy Court to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, the Bankruptcy Court shall have the power, upon the request of the Debtor, to alter and interpret such term or provision to make it valid or enforceable to the maximum extent practicable, consistent with the original purpose of the term or provision held to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, and such term or provision shall then be applicable as altered or interpreted. Notwithstanding any such holding, alteration, or interpretation, the remainder of the terms and provisions of the Plan shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired, or invalidated by such holding, alteration, or interpretation.
          The Confirmation Order shall constitute a judicial determination and shall be deemed to provide that each term and provision of the Plan, as it may have been altered or interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, is: (a) valid and enforceable pursuant to its terms; (b) integral to the Plan and may not be deleted or modified without the Debtor’s consent; and (c) nonseverable and mutually dependent.
          7. Successors And Assigns. The Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Debtor, and its successors and assigns, including, without limitation, the Reorganized Debtor. The rights, benefits, and obligations of any entity named or referred to in the Plan shall be binding on, and shall inure to the benefit of, any heir, executor, administrator, successor or assign, affiliate, officer, director, agent, representative, attorney, beneficiaries, or guardian, if any, of each entity.
          8. Revocation, Withdrawal, Or Non-Consummation. The Debtor, subject to the terms of the Restructuring Support Agreement in all respects, reserves the right to revoke or withdraw the Plan at any time prior to the Confirmation Date and to file other plans of reorganization. If the Debtor revokes or withdraws the Plan, or if Confirmation or consummation of the Plan does not occur, then (a) the Plan shall be null and void in all respects, (b) any settlement or compromise embodied in the Plan (including the fixing or limiting to an amount any Claim or Class of Claims), assumption of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases effected by the Plan, and any document or agreement executed pursuant to the Plan shall be deemed null and void, and (c) nothing contained in the Plan, and no acts taken in preparation for consummation of the Plan, shall (i) constitute or be deemed to constitute a waiver or release of any Claims by or against, or any Interests in, the Debtor or any other Person, (ii) prejudice in any manner the rights of the Debtor or any Person in any further proceedings involving the Debtor, or (iii) constitute an admission of any sort by the Debtor or any other Person.
          9. Governing Law. Except to the extent that the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules or other federal law is applicable, or to the extent that an Exhibit or schedule to the Plan provides otherwise, the rights and obligations arising under the Plan shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of New York without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law of such jurisdiction.
          10. Waiver Or Estoppel. Each Holder of a Claim or an Interest shall be deemed to have waived any right to assert any argument, including the right to argue that its Claim or Interest should be Allowed in a certain amount, in a certain priority, secured or not subordinated by virtue of an agreement made with the Debtor or its counsel or any other entity, if such agreement was not disclosed in the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, or papers filed with the Bankruptcy Court prior to the Confirmation Date.
VI. RISK FACTORS TO BE CONSIDERED
          Parties in interest should read and carefully consider the following factors, as well as the other information set forth in this Disclosure Statement (and the documents delivered together herewith and/or incorporated by reference herein), before deciding whether to vote to accept or reject the Plan. This information, however, does not describe the only risks involved in connection with the Plan and its implementation.

34


 

A. Failure To Satisfy Vote Requirement
          If votes are received in number and amount sufficient to enable the Bankruptcy Court to confirm the Plan, the Debtor intends to seek, as promptly as practicable thereafter, Confirmation of the Plan. If the Plan does not receive the required support from Class 2 – PIK Loan Unsecured Claims, the Debtor may elect not to file the Chapter 11 Case consistent with the Restructuring Support Agreement.
B. Failure To Confirm The Plan
          If the Plan is not confirmed and consummated, there can be no assurance that the Chapter 11 Case will continue rather than be converted to a liquidation. The Bankruptcy Court, which sits as a court of equity, may exercise substantial discretion with respect to the affairs of the Debtor during the Chapter 11 Case.
          Section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code sets forth the requirements for confirmation of a plan and requires, among other things, that the value of distributions to dissenting creditors and shareholders not be less than the value of distributions such creditors and shareholders would receive if the Company were liquidated under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. Although the Company believes that the Plan will meet such test, there can be no assurance that the Bankruptcy Court will reach the same conclusion. Furthermore, although the Company believes that the Effective Date will occur shortly after the Confirmation Date, there can be no assurance as to such timing. In addition, the Company could experience material adverse changes in its liquidity as a result of such delay.
C. Business Risks
Travelport’s revenue is derived from the global travel industry and a prolonged or substantial decrease in global travel volume, particularly air travel, as well as other industry trends, could adversely affect Travelport.
          Travelport’s revenue is derived from the global travel industry. As a result, Travelport’s revenue is directly related to the overall level of travel activity, particularly air travel volume, and is therefore significantly impacted by declines in, or disruptions to, travel in any region due to factors entirely outside of Travelport’s control. Such factors include:
    global security issues, political instability, acts or threats of terrorism, hostilities or war and other political issues that could adversely affect global air travel volume;
 
    epidemics or pandemics, such as H1N1 “swine” flu, avian flu and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome;
 
    natural disasters, such as hurricanes, volcanic activity and resulting ash clouds, earthquakes and tsunamis, such as the recent disaster in Japan;
 
    general economic conditions, particularly to the extent that adverse conditions may cause a decline in travel volume, such as the crisis in the global credit and financial markets, diminished liquidity and credit availability, declines in consumer confidence and discretionary income, declines in economic growth, increases in unemployment rates and uncertainty about economic stability;

35


 

    the financial condition of travel suppliers, including airlines and hotels, and the impact of any changes such as airline bankruptcies or consolidations on the cost and availability of air travel and hotel rooms;
 
    changes to laws and regulations governing the airline and travel industry and the adoption of new laws and regulations detrimental to operations, including environmental and tax laws and regulations, including the recent carbon emissions reduction targets for flights to and from the European Union area by the end of 2012;
 
    fuel price escalation;
 
    work stoppages or labor unrest at any of the major airlines or other travel suppliers or at airports;
 
    increased security, particularly airport security that could reduce the convenience of air travel;
 
    travelers’ perception of the occurrence of travel-related accidents, of the environmental impact of air travel, particularly in regards to CO2 emissions, or of the scope, severity and timing of the other factors described above; and
 
    changes in occupancy and room rates achieved by hotels.
          If there were to be a prolonged substantial decrease in travel volume, particularly air travel volume, for these or any other reason, it would have an adverse impact on Travelport’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
Actual financial results may vary significantly from the projections filed with the Bankruptcy Court.
          In connection with this Disclosure Statement and the Confirmation Hearing, the Company prepared projected financial information to demonstrate to the Bankruptcy Court the feasibility of the Plan and its ability to continue operations upon its emergence from the Chapter 11 Case. This information was prepared for the limited purpose of furnishing recipients of this Disclosure Statement with adequate information to make an informed judgment regarding acceptance of the Plan, and was not prepared for the purpose of providing the basis for an investment decision relating to the Common Stock Issuance. This information was not audited or reviewed by the Company’s independent public accountants. The Company does not intend to update or otherwise revise the Financial Projections, including any revisions to reflect events or circumstances existing or arising after the date of this Disclosure Statement or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, even if any or all of the underlying assumptions do not come to fruition. Furthermore, the Debtor does not intend to update or revise the Financial Projections to reflect changes in general economic or industry conditions. At the time they were prepared, the projections reflected numerous assumptions concerning the Company’s anticipated future performance and with respect to prevailing and anticipated market and economic conditions that were and remain beyond its control and that may not materialize. Projections are inherently subject to substantial and numerous uncertainties and to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks, and the assumptions underlying the projections and/or valuation estimates may prove to be wrong in material respects. Actual results may vary significantly from those contemplated by the projections that were prepared in connection with this Disclosure Statement and the Confirmation Hearing. As a result, such projections are only an estimate and should not be relied upon as necessarily indicative of future, actual recoveries.

36


 

The travel industry may not recover from the recent global financial crisis and recession to the extent anticipated or may not grow in line with long-term historical trends following any recovery.
          As a participant in the global travel industry, Travelport’s business and operating results are impacted by global economic conditions, including the recent European debt crisis, a slowdown in growth of the Chinese economy, a prolonged slow economic recovery in Japan and a general reduction in net disposable income as a result of fiscal measures adopted by countries to address high levels of budgetary indebtedness, which may adversely affect Travelport’s business, results of operations and financial condition. In Travelport’s industry, the recent financial crisis and global recession have resulted in higher unemployment, a decline in consumer confidence, large-scale business failures and tightened credit markets. As a result, the global travel industry, which historically has grown at a rate in excess of global GDP growth during economic expansions, has experienced a cyclical downturn. A continuation of recent adverse economic developments in areas such as employment levels, business conditions, interest rates, tax rates, fuel and energy costs, particularly the expected rise in the price of crude oil, and other matters could reduce discretionary spending further and cause the travel industry to continue to contract. In addition, the global economy may not recover as quickly or to the extent anticipated, and consumer spending on leisure travel and business spending on corporate travel may not increase despite improvement in economic conditions. As a result, Travelport’s business may not benefit from a broader macroeconomic recovery, which could adversely affect Travelport’s business, financial condition or results of operations.
The travel industry is highly competitive, and Travelport is subject to risks relating to competition that may adversely affect its performance.
          Travelport’s businesses operate in highly competitive industries. If Travelport cannot compete effectively, it may lose share to its competitors, which may adversely affect its financial performance. Travelport’s continued success depends, to a large extent, upon its ability to compete effectively in industries that contain numerous competitors, some of which may have significantly greater financial, marketing, personnel and other resources than Travelport.
          Travelport’s GDS have two different categories of customers, namely travel suppliers, which provide travel content to Travelport’s GDS, and travel agencies, which shop for and book that content on behalf of end customers. The interdependence of effectively serving these customer groups, and the resulting network effects, may impact the GDS business’ ability to attract customers. If the GDS business is unable to attract a sufficient number of travel suppliers to provide travel content, its ability to service travel agencies will be adversely impacted. Conversely, if the GDS business is unable to attract a sufficient number of travel agencies, its ability to maintain its large base of travel suppliers and attract new travel suppliers will be impaired.
          In addition to supplying sufficient content, the ability of Travelport’s GDS to attract travel agencies is dependent on the development of new products to enhance Travelport’s GDS platform and on the provision of adequate financial incentives to travel agencies. Competition to attract travel agencies is particularly intense as travel agencies, particularly larger ones, are dual automated (meaning they subscribe to more than one GDS at any given time). Travelport also has had to, and expects that it will continue in certain circumstances to be necessary to, increase financial assistance to travel agencies in connection with renewals of their contracts, which may in the future reduce margins in the GDS business. If travel agencies are dissatisfied with Travelport’s GDS platform or Travelport does not pay adequate commissions or provide other incentives to travel agencies to remain competitive, Travelport’s GDS may lose a number of travel agency customers.
          Travelport’s GDS compete against other traditional GDS operated by Amadeus, Sabre, regional participants such as Abacus, as well as against alternative distribution technologies. Travelport’s GDS also compete against direct distribution of travel content by travel suppliers, such as airlines, hotels and car rental companies, many of which distribute all or part of their inventory directly through their own travel distribution websites (known as “supplier.com websites”). In addition, Travelport’s GDS compete against travel suppliers that supply content

37


 

directly to travel agencies as well as new companies in the GDS industry that are developing distribution systems without the large technology investment and network costs of a traditional GDS.
          Travelport’s share of GDS-processed segments processed by the GDS industry declined from 33% in 2007 immediately following the Worldspan acquisition to 28% in 2010. This decline can be primarily attributed to the loss of Worldspan’s business with Expedia, Inc. (“Expedia”), a decision that Expedia made prior to the Worldspan acquisition but which impacted Travelport after the Worldspan acquisition, and Travelport’s decision to establish direct sales and marketing operations in the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Egypt, leading to a loss in volume as a result of transitioning from relying on third party national distribution companies (“NDCs”) in these countries. Although Travelport has taken steps to address these developments, Travelport’s GDS could continue to lose share or may fail to increase Travelport’s share of GDS bookings.
          The Airline IT Solutions sector of the travel industry is highly fragmented. Travelport competes with airlines that run applications in-house and multiple external providers of IT services. Competition within the IT services industry is segmented by the type of service offering. For example, reservations and other system services competitors include Amadeus, HP Enterprise Services, Navitaire Inc., Sabre, Unisys Corporation, ITA and SITA, as well as airlines that provide the services and support for their own internal reservation system services and also host external airlines. Travelport’s ability to market business intelligence products is dependent on Travelport’s perceived competitive position and the value of the information obtained through the GDS business, particularly compared to PaxIS, an IATA product, and products distributed by Amadeus and Sabre.
Travelport provides IT services to travel suppliers, primarily airlines, and any adverse changes in these relationships could adversely affect Travelport’s business.
          Through the Airline IT Solutions business, Travelport provides hosting solutions and IT subscription services to airlines and the technology companies that support them. Travelport hosts and manages the reservations systems of eleven airlines worldwide, including Delta and United, and provides IT subscription services for mission-critical applications in fares, pricing and e-ticketing, directly and indirectly, to 274 airlines and airline ground handlers. Adverse changes in Travelport’s relationships with its IT and hosting customers or its inability to enter into new relationships with other customers could affect Travelport’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Travelport’s arrangements with its customers may not remain in effect on current or similar terms and this may negatively impact revenue. In addition, if any of Travelport’s key customers enters bankruptcy, liquidates or does not emerge from bankruptcy, Travelport’s business, financial condition or results of operations may be adversely affected.
          Delta, one of Travelport’s largest IT services customers, has completed its acquisition of Northwest, another of Travelport’s largest IT services customers. As part of their integration, Delta and Northwest have migrated to a common IT platform and will have reduced needs for Travelport’s IT services after the integration. As a result of the integration of Delta’s and Northwest’s operations, which Travelport managed, in 2010, Travelport’s revenue and EBITDA attributable to contracts with these airlines, which include Airline IT Solutions and transaction processing services, decreased by approximately $22 million and $15 million, respectively.
          In addition, in December 2010, United provided Travelport with notice of termination of the master services agreement for the Apollo reservations system operated by Travelport for United, with a termination date of March 1, 2012. Travelport expects that United will consolidate the internal reservations systems for United and Continental on the reservations system used by Continental. Travelport expects that such termination will not have an impact on its financial results until 2012, at the earliest, and expects that United’s integration work will likely require use of the Apollo system until at least some point in 2012. Travelport expects that once United fully transitions off the Apollo system, which would be during the 2012 fiscal year at the earliest, it may adversely affect Travelport’s results of operations due to the loss of fees resulting from this agreement, unless such revenue can be

38


 

regained through the sale of other services to United or other carriers. Travelport currently expects this could negatively impact EBITDA by $40 million to $60 million on a full year basis once United has fully transitioned off Travelport’s system and also assuming United terminates all other services provided by Travelport at that time as well. If the United-Continental reservations system integration is delayed for any reason, including United requesting Travelport to provide additional termination assistance and continuation of service, the financial impact on Travelport may occur later in 2012 or may not occur at all.
If Travelport fails to develop and deliver new innovative products or enhance its existing products and services in a timely and cost-effective manner in response to rapid technological change and market demands, Travelport’s business will suffer.
          Travelport’s industry is subject to constant and rapid technological change and product obsolescence as customers and competitors create new and innovative products and technologies. Products or technologies developed by Travelport’s competitors may render Travelport’s products or technologies obsolete or noncompetitive. Travelport must develop innovative products and services and enhance Travelport’s existing products and services to meet rapidly evolving market demands to attract travel agencies. The development process to design leading, sustainable and desirable products to generate new revenue streams and profits is lengthy and requires Travelport to accurately anticipate technological changes and market trends. Developing and enhancing these products is uncertain and can be time-consuming, costly and complex. If Travelport does not continue to develop innovative products that are in demand by Travelport’s customers, it may be unable to maintain existing customers or attract new customers. Customer and market requirements can change during the development process. There is a risk that these developments and enhancements will be late, fail to meet customer or market specifications, not be competitive with products or services from Travelport’s competitors that offer comparable or superior performance and functionality or fail to generate new revenue streams and profits. Travelport’s business will suffer if it fails to develop and introduce new innovative products and services or product and service enhancements on a timely and cost-effective basis.
Trends in pricing and other terms of agreements among airlines and travel agencies have become less favorable to Travelport, and a further deterioration may occur in the future which could reduce Travelport’s revenue and margins.
          A significant portion of Travelport’s revenue is derived from fees paid by airlines for bookings made through Travelport’s GDS. Airlines have sought to reduce or eliminate these fees in an effort to reduce distribution costs. One manner in which they have done so is to differentiate the content, in this case, the fares and inventory, that they provide to Travelport and to Travelport’s GDS competitors from the content that they distribute directly themselves. In these cases, airlines provide some of their content to GDS, while withholding other content, such as lower cost web fares, for distribution via their own supplier.com websites unless the GDS agree to participate in a cost reduction program. Certain airlines have also threatened to withdraw content, in whole or in part, from individual GDS as a means of obtaining lower booking fees or, alternatively, to charge GDS to access their lower cost web fares. Airlines also have aggressively expanded their use of the direct online distribution model for tickets in the United States and in Europe in the last ten years, such as the recent direct connect efforts of American Airlines, with such ticket sales generating more than 30% of revenue for airlines in the United States in 2008, compared to less than 3% of revenue in 1999. There also has been an increase in the number of airlines which have introduced unbundled, “à la carte” sales and optional services, such as fees for checked baggage or premium seats, which threaten to further fragment content and disadvantage GDS by making it more difficult to deliver a platform that allows travel agencies to shop for a single, “all-inclusive” price for travel.
          Travelport has entered into full-content agreements with most major carriers in the Americas and Europe, and a growing number of carriers in the Middle East and Africa, which provides Travelport with access to the full scope of fares and inventory which the carriers make available through direct channels, such as their own supplier.com websites, with a contract duration usually ranging from three to seven years. In addition, Travelport has entered into agreements with most major carriers in the Asia Pacific Region which provide it with access to varying levels of their content. Travelport may not be able to renew these agreements on a commercially reasonable

39


 

basis or at all. If Travelport is unable to renew these agreements, it may be disadvantaged compared to Travelport’s competitors, and Travelport’s financial results could be adversely impacted. The full-content agreements have required Travelport to make significant price concessions to the participating airlines. If Travelport is required to make additional concessions to renew or extend the agreements, it could result in an increase in Travelport’s distribution expenses and have a material adverse effect on Travelport’s business, financial condition or results of operations. Moreover, as existing full-content agreements come up for renewal, there is no guarantee that the participating airlines will continue to provide their content to Travelport to the same extent or on the same terms as they do now. For example, Travelport’s contracts with two of the largest U.S. travel suppliers, US Airways and American Airlines, representing approximately 8% of transaction processing revenue for the year ended December 31, 2010, were up for renewal in 2011. On July 29, 2011, Travelport and American Airlines announced that the existing full content agreements between American and Travelport’s GDS, Apollo, Galileo and Worldspan, have been extended concurrently and are no longer due to expire in 2011. On August 28, 2011, Travelport announced that its existing content agreement with US Airways will continue well into 2012. Travelport is in discussions with American Airlines and US Airways to renew or extend their current full-content agreements with Travelport. In addition, certain full-content agreements may be terminated earlier pursuant to the specific terms of each agreement. A substantial reduction in the amount of content received from the participating airlines or changes in pricing options could also negatively affect Travelport’s revenue and financial condition. Equally, the removal of the discounts presently provided to these carriers under these agreements could also positively affect Travelport’s revenue and financial condition.
          In addition, GDS have implemented, in some countries, an alternative business and financial model, generally referred to as the “opt-in” model, for travel agencies. Under the “opt-in” model, travel agencies are offered the opportunity to pay a fee to the GDS or to agree to a reduction in the financial incentives to be paid to them by the GDS in order to be assured of having access to full content from participating airlines or to avoid an airline-imposed surcharge on GDS-based bookings. There is pressure on GDS to provide highly competitive terms for such “opt-in” models as many travel agencies are dual automated, subscribing to more than one GDS at any given time. The “opt-in” model has been introduced in a number of situations in parallel with full-content agreements between Travelport and certain airlines to recoup certain fees from travel agencies and to offset some of the discounts provided to airlines in return for guaranteed access to full content. The rate of adoption by travel agencies, where “opt-in” has been implemented, has been very high. If airlines require further discounts in connection with guaranteeing access to full content and in response thereto the “opt-in” model becomes widely adopted, Travelport could receive lower fees from the airlines. These lower fees are likely to be only partially offset by new fees paid by travel agencies and/or reduced inducement payments to travel agencies, which would adversely affect Travelport’s results of operations. In addition, if travel agencies choose not to opt in, such travel agencies would not receive access to full content without making further payment, which could have an adverse effect on the number of segments booked through Travelport’s GDS.
          The level of fees and commissions Travelport pays to travel agencies is subject to continuous competitive pressure as Travelport renews its agreements with them. If Travelport is required to pay higher rates of commissions, it will adversely affect Travelport’s margins.
Travelport may not be able to protect its technology effectively, which would allow competitors to duplicate Travelport products and services and could make it more difficult for it to compete with them.
          Travelport’s success and ability to compete depends, in part, upon Travelport’s technology and other intellectual property, including Travelport brands. Among Travelport’s significant assets are its software and other proprietary information and intellectual property rights. Travelport relies on a combination of copyright, trademark and patent laws, trade secrets, confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect these assets. Travelport’s software and related documentation are protected principally under trade secret and copyright laws, which afford only limited protection. Unauthorized use and misuse of Travelport’s technology and other intellectual property could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations, and there can be no assurance that Travelport’s legal remedies would adequately compensate it for the damage caused by unauthorized use.

40


 

          Intellectual property challenges have been increasingly brought against members of the travel industry. Travelport has in the past, and may in the future, need to take legal action to enforce its intellectual property rights, to protect its intellectual property or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. Any future legal action might result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and the attention of Travelport’s management.
Travelport depends on supplier relationships, and adverse changes in these relationships or its inability to enter into new relationships could negatively affect Travelport’s access to travel offerings and reduce its revenue.
          Travelport relies significantly on relationships with airlines, hotels and other travel suppliers to enable it to offer its customers comprehensive access to travel services and products. Adverse changes in any of Travelport’s relationships with travel suppliers or the inability to enter into new relationships with travel suppliers could reduce the amount of inventory that Travelport is able to offer through Travelport’s GDS, and could negatively impact the availability and competitiveness of travel products Travelport offers. Travelport’s arrangements with travel suppliers may not remain in effect on current or similar terms, and the net impact of future pricing options may adversely impact revenue. Travelport’s top ten air travel suppliers by revenue, combined, accounted for approximately 35% of Travelport’s revenue from GDS transaction processing for the year ended December 31, 2010.
          Travel suppliers are increasingly focused on driving online demand to their own supplier.com websites and may cease to supply Travelport with the same level of access to travel inventory in the future. For example, Delta recently decided to cease selling its tickets through certain online websites. In addition, some low cost carriers historically have not distributed content through Travelport or other third-party intermediaries. If the airline industry continues to shift from a full-service carrier model to a low-cost one, this trend may result in more carriers moving ticket distribution systems in-house and a decrease in the market for Travelport’s products.
          Travelport is in continuous dialogue with Travelport’s major hotel suppliers about the nature and extent of their participation in Travelport’s GDS business and Travelport’s wholesale accommodation business. If hotel occupancy rates improve to the point that Travelport’s hotel suppliers no longer place the same value on its distribution systems, such suppliers may reduce the amount of inventory they make available through Travelport’s distribution channels or the amount Travelport is able to earn in connection with hotel transactions. A significant reduction on the part of any of Travelport’s major suppliers of their participation in Travelport’s GDS business or its wholesale accommodation business for a sustained period of time or a supplier’s complete withdrawal could have a material adverse effect on Travelport’s business, financial condition or results of operations.
Travelport’s business is exposed to customer credit risk, against which it may not be able to protect fully.
          Travelport’s businesses are subject to the risks of non-payment and non-performance by travel suppliers and travel agencies which may fail to make payments according to the terms of their agreements with Travelport. For example, a small number of airlines that do not settle payment through IATA’s billing and settlement provider have, from time to time, not made timely payments for bookings made through Travelport’s GDS. Travelport manages its exposure to credit risk through credit analysis and monitoring procedures, and sometimes uses credit agreements, prepayments, security deposits and bank guarantees. However, these procedures and policies cannot fully eliminate customer credit risk, and to the extent Travelport policies and procedures prove to be inadequate, Travelport’s business, financial condition or results of operations may be adversely affected.
          Some of Travelport’s customers, counterparties and suppliers may be highly leveraged, not well capitalized and subject to their own operating, legal and regulatory risks and, even if Travelport’s credit review and analysis mechanisms work properly, Travelport may experience financial losses in dealings with such parties. A lack of liquidity in the capital markets or the continuation of the global recession may cause Travelport’s customers to increase the time they take to pay or to default on their payment obligations, which could negatively affect

41


 

Travelport’s results. In addition, continued weakness in the economy could cause some of Travelport’s customers to become illiquid or delay payments, or could adversely affect collection on their accounts, which could result in a higher level of bad debt expense.
Travel suppliers are seeking alternative distribution models, including those involving direct access to travelers, which may adversely affect Travelport’s results of operations.
          Travel suppliers are seeking to decrease their reliance on third-party distributors, including GDS, for distribution of their content. For example, some travel suppliers have created or expanded commercial relationships with online and traditional travel agencies that book travel with those suppliers directly, rather than through a GDS. Many airlines, hotels, car rental companies and cruise operators have also established or improved their own supplier.com websites, and may offer incentives such as bonus miles or loyalty points, lower or no transaction or processing fees, priority waitlist clearance or e-ticketing for sales through these channels. In addition, metasearch travel websites facilitate access to supplier.com websites by aggregating the content of those websites. Due to the combined impact of direct bookings with the airlines, supplier.com websites and other non-GDS distribution channels, the percentage of bookings made without the use of a GDS at any stage in the chain between suppliers and end-customers, which Travelport estimates was approximately 58% in 2010, may continue to increase. In this regard, American Airlines terminated certain agreements with Orbitz Worldwide in November 2010, in pursuit of a direct connect relationship with American Airlines rather than Orbitz Worldwide making bookings through Travelport’s GDS. Currently, American Airlines tickets are not available for sale through Orbitz Worldwide or Expedia, and no American Airlines bookings are being made through Travelport’s GDS by Orbitz Worldwide or Expedia. Continued efforts by American Airlines or any other major airline to encourage Travelport’s subscribers to book directly rather than through Travelport’s GDS will adversely affect Travelport’s results of operations.
          Furthermore, recent trends towards disintermediation in the global travel industry could adversely affect Travelport’s GDS business. For example, airlines have made some of their offerings unavailable to unrelated distributors, or made them available only in exchange for lower distribution fees. Some low cost carriers distribute exclusively through direct channels, bypassing GDS and other third-party distributors completely and, as a whole, have increased their share of bookings in recent years, particularly in short-haul travel. In addition, several travel suppliers have formed joint ventures or alliances that offer multi-supplier travel distribution websites. Finally, some airlines are exploring alternative global distribution methods developed by new entrants to the global distribution marketplace. Such new entrants propose technology that is purported to be less complex than traditional GDS, which they claim enables the distribution of airline tickets in a manner that is more cost-effective to the airline suppliers because no or lower inducement payments are paid to travel agencies. If these trends lead to lower participation by airlines and other travel suppliers in Travelport’s GDS, then Travelport’s business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
          In addition, given the diverse and growing number of alternative travel distribution channels, such as supplier.com websites and direct connect channels between travel suppliers and travel agencies, as well as new technologies that allow travel agencies and consumers to bypass a GDS, increases in travel volumes, particularly air travel, may not translate in the same proportion to increases in volume passing through Travelport’s GDS, and Travelport may therefore not benefit from a cyclical recovery in the travel industry to a similar extent as other industry participants.
Travelport relies on third-party national distribution companies to market Travelport’s GDS services in certain regions.
          Travelport’s GDS utilize third-party, independently owned and managed NDCs to market GDS products and distribute and provide GDS services in certain countries, including Austria, Greece, India, Kuwait, Lebanon, Pakistan, Syria, Turkey and Yemen, as well as many countries in Africa. In Asia, where many national carriers own one of Travelport’s regional competitors, Travelport often uses local companies to act as NDCs. In the

42


 

Middle East, in conjunction with the termination of an NDC agreement on December 31, 2008, Travelport established its own sales and marketing organizations in the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Egypt and entered into new NDC relationships with third parties in other countries.
          Travelport relies on NDCs and the manner in which they operate their business to develop and promote Travelport’s global GDS business. Travelport’s top ten NDCs generated approximately $230 million (12%) of Travelport’s GDS revenue for the year ended December 31, 2010. Travelport pays each of its NDCs a commission relative to the number of segments booked by subscribers with which the NDC has a relationship. The NDCs are independent business operators, are not Travelport employees and Travelport does not exercise management control over their day-to-day operations. Travelport provides training and support to the NDCs, but the success of their marketing efforts and the quality of the services they provide is beyond Travelport’s control. If they do not meet Travelport’s standards for distribution, Travelport’s image and reputation may suffer materially, and sales in those regions could decline significantly. In addition, any interruption in these third-party services or deterioration in their performance could have a material adverse effect on Travelport’s business, financial condition or results of operations.
Consolidation in the travel industry may result in lost bookings and reduced revenue.
          Consolidation among travel suppliers, including airline mergers and alliances, may increase competition from distribution channels related to those travel suppliers and place more negotiating leverage in the hands of those travel suppliers to attempt to lower booking fees further and to lower commissions. Recent examples include Delta’s acquisition of Northwest, the merger of United and Continental, Lufthansa’s acquisition of Swiss International, Brussels Airlines and Austrian Airlines, Air France’s acquisition of KLM and the proposed acquisition of AirTran Airways by Southwest Airlines. In addition, cooperation has increased within the oneworld, SkyTeam and Star alliances. Changes in ownership of travel agencies may also cause them to direct less business towards Travelport. If Travelport is unable to compete effectively, competitors could divert travel suppliers and travel agencies away from Travelport’s travel distribution channels, which could adversely affect its results of operations. Mergers and acquisitions of airlines may also result in a reduction in total flights and overall passenger capacity, which may adversely impact the ability of the GDS business to generate revenue.
          Consolidation among travel agencies and competition for travel agency customers may also adversely affect Travelport’s results of operations, since it competes to attract and retain travel agency customers. Reductions in commissions paid by some travel suppliers, such as airlines, to travel agencies contribute to travel agencies having a greater dependency on traveler-paid service fees and GDS-paid inducements and may contribute to travel agencies consolidating. Consolidation of travel agencies increases competition for these travel agency customers and increases the ability of those travel agencies to negotiate higher GDS-paid inducements. In addition, a decision by airlines to surcharge the channel represented by travel agencies, for example, by surcharging fares booked through travel agencies or passing on charges to travel agencies, could have an adverse impact on Travelport’s GDS business, particularly in regions in which Travelport’s GDS are a significant source of bookings for an airline choosing to impose such surcharges. To compete effectively, Travelport may need to increase inducements, pre-pay inducements or increase spending on marketing or product development.
          In addition, any consolidation among the airlines for which Travelport provides IT hosting systems could impact Travelport Airline IT Solutions business depending on the manner of any such consolidation and the hosting system on which the airlines choose to consolidate. For example, the integration of United and Continental resulted in United providing Travelport with notice of termination of the master services agreement for the Apollo reservations system operated by Travelport for United, with a termination date of March 1, 2012. Travelport expects that United will consolidate the internal reservations systems for United and Continental on the reservations system used by Continental. Travelport expects that such termination will not have an impact on its financial results until 2012, at the earliest, and Travelport expects that United’s integration work will likely require use of the Apollo system until at least some point in 2012. Travelport expects that once United fully transitions off

43


 

the Apollo system, which would be during the 2012 fiscal year at the earliest, it may adversely affect Travelport’s results of operations due to the loss of fees resulting from this agreement, unless such revenue can be regained through the sale of other services to United or other carriers. Travelport currently expects this could negatively impact EBITDA by $40 million to $60 million on a full year basis once United has fully transitioned off Travelport’s system and also assuming United terminates all other services provided by Travelport at that time as well. If the United-Continental reservations system integration is delayed for any reason, including United requesting Travelport to provide additional termination assistance and continuation of service, the financial impact on Travelport may occur later in 2012 or may not occur at all. In addition, the integration of operations by Delta and Northwest resulted in a reduction in revenue and GDS Segment EBITDA in 2010.
D. Operational Risks
Travelport relies on information technology to operate its businesses and maintain its competitiveness, and any failure to adapt to technological developments or industry trends could harm its businesses.
          Travelport depends upon the use of sophisticated information technologies and systems, including technologies and systems utilized for reservation systems, communications, procurement and administrative systems. As its operations grow in both size and scope, Travelport continuously needs to improve and upgrade its systems and infrastructure to offer an increasing number of customers and travel suppliers enhanced products, services, features and functionality, while maintaining the reliability and integrity of its systems and infrastructure. Travelport’s future success also depends on its ability to adapt to rapidly changing technologies in its industry, particularly the increasing use of Internet-based products and services, to change its services and infrastructure so they address evolving industry standards and to improve the performance, features and reliability of its services in response to competitive service and product offerings and the evolving demands of the marketplace. Travelport has recently introduced a number of new products and services, such as Travelport Universal Desktop, Traversa corporate booking tool and next generation search and shopping functions. If there are technological impediments to introducing or maintaining these or other products and services, or if these products and services do not meet the requirements of its customers, Travelport’s business, financial condition or results of operations may be adversely affected.
          It is possible that, if Travelport is not able to maintain existing systems, obtain new technologies and systems, or replace or introduce new technologies and systems as quickly as its competitors or in a cost-effective manner, its business and operations could be materially adversely affected. Also, Travelport may not achieve the benefits anticipated or required from any new technology or system, or be able to devote financial resources to new technologies and systems in the future.
Travelport may not successfully realize its expected cost savings.
          Travelport may not be able to realize its expected cost savings, in whole or in part, or within the time frames anticipated. Travelport’s cost savings and efficiency improvements are subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties, many of which are beyond its control. Travelport is pursuing a number of initiatives to further reduce operating expenses, including converging its underlying operating platforms, migrating mainframe technology to open systems, tightening integration of applications development and simplifying internal systems and processes. The outcome of these initiatives is uncertain and they may take several years to yield any efficiency gains, if at all. Failure to generate anticipated cost savings from these initiatives may adversely affect Travelport’s profitability.

44


 

Travelport’s GDS business relies primarily on a single data center to conduct its business.
          Travelport’s GDS business, which utilizes a significant amount of its information technology, and Travelport’s financial business systems rely on computer infrastructure primarily housed in Travelport’s data center near Atlanta, Georgia, to conduct Travelport’s business. In the event the operations of this data center suffer any significant interruptions or the GDS data center becomes significantly inoperable, such event would have a material adverse impact on Travelport’s business and reputation and could result in a loss of customers. Although Travelport has taken steps to strengthen physical and information security and add redundancy to this facility, the GDS data center could be exposed to damage or interruption from fire, natural disaster, power loss, war, acts of terrorism, plane crashes, telecommunications failure, computer malfunctions, unauthorized entry, IT hacking and computer viruses. The steps Travelport has taken and continues to take to prevent system failure and unauthorized transaction activity may not be successful. Travelport’s limited use of backup and disaster recovery systems may not allow it to recover from a system failure fully, or on a timely basis, and its property and business insurance may not be adequate to compensate it for all losses that may occur.
Travelport may not effectively integrate or realize anticipated benefits from future acquisitions.
          Travelport has pursued an active acquisition strategy as a means of strengthening its businesses and has, in the past, derived a significant portion of growth in revenue and operating income from acquired businesses. In the future, Travelport may enter into other acquisitions and investments, including national distribution companies or joint ventures, based on assumptions with respect to operations, profitability and other matters that could subsequently prove to be incorrect. Furthermore, Travelport may fail to successfully integrate any acquired businesses or joint ventures into its operations. If future acquisitions, significant investments or joint ventures do not perform in accordance with Travelport’s expectations or are not effectively integrated, its business, operations or profitability could be adversely affected.
System interruptions, attacks and slowdowns may cause Travelport to lose customers or business opportunities or to incur liabilities.
     If Travelport is unable to maintain and improve its IT systems and infrastructure, this might result in system interruptions and slowdowns. Travelport has experienced system interruptions in the past and recently experienced attacks from individuals seeking to disrupt operations. In the event of system interruptions and/or slow delivery times, prolonged or frequent service outages or insufficient capacity which impedes it from efficiently providing services to its customers, Travelport may lose customers and revenue or incur liabilities. In addition, Travelport’s information technologies and systems are vulnerable to damage, interruption or fraudulent activity from various causes, including:
    power losses, computer systems failure, Internet and telecommunications or data network failures, operator error, losses and corruption of data and similar events;
 
    computer viruses, penetration by individuals seeking to disrupt operations, misappropriate information or perpetrate fraudulent activity and other physical or electronic breaches of security;
 
    the failure of third-party software, systems or services that Travelport relies upon to maintain its own operations; and
 
    natural disasters, wars and acts of terrorism.

45


 

          In addition, Travelport may have inadequate insurance coverage or insurance limits to compensate for losses from a major interruption, and remediation may be costly and have a material adverse effect on Travelport’s operating results and financial condition. Any extended interruption or degradation in Travelport’s technologies or systems, or any substantial loss of data, could significantly curtail Travelport’s ability to conduct its businesses and generate revenue. Travelport could incur financial liability from fraudulent activity perpetrated on its systems.
Travelport is dependent upon software, equipment and services provided by third parties.
          Travelport is dependent upon software, equipment and services provided and/or managed by third parties in the operation of its businesses. In the event that the performance of such software, equipment or services provided and/or managed by third parties deteriorates or its arrangements with any of these third parties related to the provision and/or management of software, equipment or services are terminated, Travelport may not be able to find alternative services, equipment or software on a timely basis or on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, or be able to do so without significant cost or disruptions to its businesses, and its relationships with its customers may be adversely impacted. Travelport has experienced occasional system outages arising from services that were provided by one of its key third-party providers. Travelport’s failure to secure agreements with such third parties, or of such third parties to perform under such agreements, may have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations.
Travelport provides IT services to travel suppliers, primarily airlines, and any adverse changes in these relationships could adversely affect its business.
          Through its Airline IT Solutions business, Travelport provides hosting solutions and IT subscription services to airlines and the technology companies that support them. Travelport hosts and manages the reservations systems of eleven airlines worldwide, including Delta and United, and provides IT subscription services for mission-critical applications in fares, pricing and e-ticketing, directly and indirectly, to 274 airlines and airline ground handlers. Adverse changes in Travelport’s relationships with its IT and hosting customers or its inability to enter into new relationships with other customers could affect Travelport’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Travelport’s arrangements with its customers may not remain in effect on current or similar terms and this may negatively impact revenue. In addition, if any of its key customers enter bankruptcy, liquidate or do not emerge from bankruptcy, Travelport’s business, financial condition or results of operations may be adversely affected.
          Delta, one of Travelport’s largest IT services customers, has completed its acquisition of Northwest, another of Travelport’s largest IT services customers. As part of their integration, Delta and Northwest have migrated to a common IT platform and will have reduced needs for Travelport’s IT services after the integration. As a result of the integration of Delta’s and Northwest’s operations, which Travelport managed, in 2010, Travelport’s revenue and EBITDA attributable to contracts with these airlines, which include Airline IT Solutions and transaction processing services, decreased by approximately $22 million and $15 million, respectively.
          In addition, in December 2010, United provided Travelport with notice of termination of the master services agreement for the Apollo reservations system operated by Travelport for United, with a termination date of March 1, 2012. Travelport expects that United will consolidate the internal reservations systems for United and Continental on the reservations system used by Continental. Travelport expects that such termination will not have an impact on its financial results until 2012, at the earliest, and expects that United’s integration work will likely require use of the Apollo system until at least some point in 2012. Travelport expects that once United fully transitions off the Apollo system, which would be during the 2012 fiscal year at the earliest, it may adversely affect Travelport’s results of operations due to the loss of fees resulting from this agreement, unless such revenue can be regained through the sale of other services to United or other carriers. Travelport currently expects this could negatively impact EBITDA by $40 million to $60 million on a full year basis once United has fully transitioned off

46


 

Travelport’s system and also assuming United terminates all other services provided by Travelport at that time as well. If the United-Continental reservations system integration is delayed for any reason, including United requesting Travelport to provide additional termination assistance and continuation of service, the financial impact on Travelport may occur later in 2012 or may not occur at all.
Travelport’s processing, storage, use and disclosure of personal data could give rise to liabilities as a result of governmental regulation, conflicting legal requirements, evolving security standards, differing views of personal privacy rights or security breaches.
          In the processing of its travel transactions, Travelport receives and stores a large volume of personally identifiable information. This information is increasingly subject to legislation and regulations in numerous jurisdictions around the world, typically intended to protect the privacy and security of personal information. Travelport is also subject to evolving security standards for credit card information that is collected, processed and transmitted.
          Travelport could be adversely affected if legislation or regulations are expanded to require changes in its business practices or if governing jurisdictions interpret or implement their legislation or regulations in ways that negatively affect its business. For example, government agencies in the United States have implemented initiatives to enhance national and aviation security in the United States, including the Transportation Security Administration’s Secure Flight program and the Advance Passenger Information System of U.S. Customs and Border Protection. These initiatives primarily affect airlines. However, to the extent that the airlines determine the need to define and implement standards for data that is either not structured in a format Travelport uses or is not currently supplied by its businesses, Travelport could be adversely affected. In addition, the European Union and other governments are considering the adoption of passenger screening and advance passenger systems similar to the U.S. programs. This may result in conflicting legal requirements with respect to data handling and, in turn, affect the type and format of data currently supplied by Travelport’s businesses.
          Travel businesses have also been subjected to investigations, lawsuits and adverse publicity due to allegedly improper disclosure of passenger information. As privacy and data protection have become more sensitive issues, Travelport may also become exposed to potential liabilities in relation to its handling, use and disclosure of travel-related data, as it pertains to individuals, as a result of differing views on the privacy of such data. These and other privacy concerns, including security breaches, could adversely impact Travelport’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
Travelport is exposed to risks associated with online commerce security.
          The secure transmission of confidential information over the Internet is essential in maintaining travel supplier and travel agency confidence in Travelport’s services. Substantial or ongoing data security breaches, whether instigated internally or externally on Travelport’s system or other Internet-based systems, could significantly harm Travelport’s business. Travelport’s travel suppliers currently require end customers to guarantee their transactions with their credit card online. Travelport relies on licensed encryption and authentication technology to effect secure transmission of confidential end customer information, including credit card numbers. It is possible that advances in computer capabilities, new discoveries or other developments could result in a compromise or breach of the technology that Travelport uses to protect customer transaction data.
          Travelport incurs substantial expense to protect against and remedy security breaches and their consequences. However, Travelport’s security measures may not prevent data security breaches. Travelport may be unsuccessful in implementing remediation plans to address potential exposures. A party (whether internal, external, an affiliate or unrelated third party) that is able to circumvent Travelport’s data security systems could also obtain proprietary information or cause significant interruptions in its operations. Security breaches could also damage

47


 

Travelport’s reputation and expose it to a risk of loss or litigation and possible liability. Security breaches could also cause Travelport’s current and potential travel suppliers and travel agencies to lose confidence in its data security, which would have a negative effect on the demand for its products and services.
          Moreover, public perception concerning data security and privacy on the Internet could adversely affect customers’ willingness to use websites for travel services. A publicized breach of data security, even if it only affects other companies conducting business over the Internet, could inhibit the use of online payments and, therefore, Travelport’s services as a means of conducting commercial transactions.
          Travelport has recently been the target of data security attacks and may experience attacks in the future. Although Travelport has managed substantially to counter these attacks and minimize its exposure, there can be no assurances that Travelport will be able to counter successfully and limit any such attacks in the future.
Travelport is subject to additional risks as a result of having global operations.
          Travelport operates in approximately 160 countries. As a result of having global operations, Travelport is subject to numerous risks. At any given time, one or more of the following principal risks may apply to any or all of the countries in which Travelport operates:
    delays in the development, availability and use of the Internet as a communication, advertising and commerce medium;
 
    difficulties in staffing and managing operations due to distance, time zones, language and cultural differences, including issues associated with establishing management systems infrastructure;
 
    differences and changes in regulatory requirements and exposure to local economic conditions;
 
    changes in tax laws and regulations, and interpretations thereof;
 
    increased risk of piracy and limits on Travelport’s ability to enforce its intellectual property rights, particularly in the Middle East, Africa and Asia;
 
    diminished ability to enforce Travelport’s contractual rights;
 
    currency risks; and
 
    withholding and other taxes on remittances and other payments by subsidiaries.

48


 

Travelport’s ability to identify, hire and retain senior management and other qualified personnel is critical to Travelport’s results of operations and future growth.
          Travelport depends significantly on the continued services and performance of its senior management, particularly its professionals with experience in the GDS industry. Any of these individuals may choose to terminate their employment with Travelport at any time, subject to any notice periods. If unexpected leadership turnover occurs without adequate succession plans, the loss of the services of any of these individuals, or any negative perceptions of its business as a result of those losses, could damage Travelport’s brand image and its business. The specialized skills Travelport requires are difficult and time-consuming to acquire and, as a result, such skills are and are expected to remain in limited supply. Travelport requires a long time to hire and train replacement personnel. An inability to hire, train and retain a sufficient number of qualified employees or ensure effective succession plans for critical positions could materially hinder Travelport’s business by, for example, delaying its ability to bring new products and services to market or impairing the success of its operations. Even if Travelport is able to maintain its employee base, the resources needed to attract and retain such employees may adversely affect its business, financial condition or results of operations.
Travelport is controlled by The Blackstone Group L.P., its Sponsor, and this may result in conflicts of interest with Travelport or the holders of its indebtedness in the future.
          Investment funds associated with or designated by The Blackstone Group L.P. (the “Sponsor”) beneficially own substantially all of the outstanding voting shares of Travelport’s ultimate parent company. After the Effective Date, the Sponsor will still own substantially all of the outstanding voting shares of Travelport’s ultimate parent company. As a result of this ownership, the Sponsor is entitled to elect a majority of Travelport’s directors, to appoint new management and, subject to the additional approvals required pursuant to the Shareholders’ Agreement, to approve actions requiring the approval of the holders of its outstanding voting shares as a single class, including adopting most amendments to its articles of incorporation and approving or rejecting proposed mergers or sales of all or substantially all of its assets, regardless of whether holders of indebtedness believe that any such actions are in their own best interests. The Sponsor may be able to exert substantial control over Travelport and cause Travelport to take certain actions.
          The interests of the Sponsor may differ from yours in material respects. For example, if Travelport encounters financial difficulties or is unable to pay its debts as they mature, the interests of the Sponsor and its affiliates, as equity holders, might conflict with your interests. The Sponsor and its affiliates may also have an interest in pursuing acquisitions, divestitures, financings or other transactions that, in their judgment, could enhance their equity investments, even though such transactions might involve risks to you. Additionally, Travelport may pay advisory fees, dividends or make other restricted payments under certain circumstances, and the Sponsor may have an interest in it doing so. For example, borrowings under Travelport’s revolving credit facility and a portion of the proceeds from asset sales may be used for such purposes.
          The Sponsor and its affiliates are in the business of making investments in companies, and may from time to time in the future, acquire interests in businesses that directly or indirectly compete with certain portions of Travelport’s business or are suppliers or customers of Travelport. The Sponsor may also pursue acquisition opportunities that may be complementary to its business and, as a result, those acquisition opportunities may not be available to Travelport. So long as investment funds associated with or designated by the Sponsor continue to indirectly own a significant amount of the outstanding shares of Travelport’s common stock, even if such amount is less than 50%, the Sponsor may continue to be able to strongly influence or effectively control its decisions.

E. Financial and Taxation Risks
Travelport has recorded and may need to record additional impairment charges relating to its businesses.
          Travelport assesses the carrying value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually, or more frequently, whenever events occur and circumstances change indicating potential impairment. During the third quarter of 2009, Travelport observed indications of potential impairment related to its GTA segment, specifically that the business performance in what historically has been the strongest period for GTA, due to peak demand for travel, was weaker than expected. This resulted in a reduction to the revenue forecasts for GTA as it was concluded that the recovery in the travel market in which GTA operates will take longer than originally anticipated. As a result, an impairment assessment was performed. Travelport determined that additional impairment analysis was required as the carrying value exceeded the fair value. The estimated fair value of GTA was allocated to the individual fair value of the assets and liabilities of GTA as if GTA had been acquired in a business combination, which resulted in the implied fair value of the goodwill. The allocation of the fair value required Travelport to make a number of assumptions and estimates about the fair value of assets and liabilities where the fair values were not readily available or observable. As a result of this assessment, Travelport recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $833 million during the third quarter of 2009, of which $491 million related to goodwill, $87 million related to trademarks and trade names and $255 million related to customer relationships. This charge is included in the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets expense line item in the Travelport consolidated statement of operations for the period. A further deterioration in the GTA business, or in any of its other businesses, may lead to additional impairments in a future period.
Travelport has a substantial level of indebtedness which may have an adverse impact on Travelport.
          Travelport is highly leveraged. As of June 30, 2011, its total indebtedness was approximately $3.241 billion. Travelport had an additional $270 million available for borrowing under its revolving credit facility. In addition, Travelport maintains a $150 million synthetic letter of credit facility. As of June 30, 2011, Travelport had approximately $10 million of commitments outstanding under its synthetic letter of credit facility and $99 million of commitments outstanding under its cash collateralized letter of credit facility. Pursuant to its separation agreement with Orbitz Worldwide, Travelport maintains letters of credit under its letter of credit facilities on behalf of Orbitz Worldwide. As of June 30, 2011, Travelport had commitments of approximately $73 million in letters of credit outstanding on behalf of Orbitz Worldwide.
          Travelport’s substantial level of indebtedness could have important consequences for it, including the following:
    requiring a substantial portion of cash flow from operations to be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on its indebtedness, therefore reducing its ability to use its cash flow to fund its capital expenditure and future business opportunities;
 
    exposing Travelport to the risk of higher interest rates because certain of its borrowings, including borrowings under its Senior Secured Credit Facility and its senior Notes due 2014, are at variable rates of interest;
 
    restricting Travelport from making strategic acquisitions or causing it to make non-strategic divestitures;
 
    limiting Travelport’s ability to obtain additional financing for acquisitions or other strategic purposes;

50


 

    limiting Travelport’s ability to adjust to changing market conditions and placing it at a competitive disadvantage to its less highly leveraged competitors; and
 
    making Travelport more vulnerable to general economic downturns and adverse developments in its businesses.
          In addition to its substantial level of indebtedness, on March 27, 2007, the Debtor entered into the PIK Loan. As of September 30, 2011, approximately $715 million remained outstanding under the PIK Loan (including accrued interest). The entire amount outstanding of the PIK Loan is due March 27, 2012. The Debtor is a holding company with no direct operations. The Debtor’s principal assets are the direct and indirect equity interests it holds in its subsidiaries, including its direct wholly owned subsidiary, Travelport Limited, which in turn owns, directly or indirectly, Travelport. As a result, the Debtor may be dependent upon dividends or distributions and other payments from Travelport to generate the funds necessary to meet its outstanding debt service and other obligations under the PIK Loan. If the Debtor is unable to repay the amount outstanding under the PIK Loan when it becomes due, the Debtor’s failure to pay such amounts would not be a default under its Senior Secured Credit Facility or the indentures governing its Notes. However, if the Debtor were to restructure or refinance its obligations under the PIK Loan in a manner that results in a change of control under the terms of its Senior Secured Credit Facility and the indentures governing its Notes, or were to take other actions that result in such a change of control, Travelport would be required to repay all amounts outstanding under its Senior Secured Credit Facility and make an offer to purchase all of the outstanding Notes at a price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and additional interest, if any. Travelport may not have the ability to repay such amounts and make such Note purchases which would result in a default under the Senior Secured Credit Facility and the Notes.
          The above factors could limit Travelport’s financial and operational flexibility, and as a result could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.
Travelport’s debt agreements contain restrictions that may limit its flexibility in operating its business.
          Travelport’s Senior Secured Credit Facility and the indentures governing its Notes contain various covenants that limit Travelport’s ability to engage in specified types of transactions. These covenants limit Travelport’s ability to, among other things:
    incur additional indebtedness;
 
    pay dividends on, repurchase or make distributions in respect of capital stock or make other restricted payments;
 
    make certain investments;
 
    sell certain assets;
 
    create liens on certain assets to secure debt;

51


 

    consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets;
 
    enter into certain transactions with affiliates; and
 
    designate its subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries.
          In addition, under its Senior Secured Credit Facility, Travelport is required to satisfy and maintain compliance with a leverage ratio. Travelport’s ability to meet that financial ratio can be affected by events beyond its control and, in the long term, it may not be able to meet that ratio. A breach of any of these covenants could result in a default under the Senior Secured Credit Facility and its indentures. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under the Senior Secured Credit Facility to be immediately due and payable and terminate all commitments to extend further credit. If Travelport is unable to repay those amounts, the lenders under the Senior Secured Credit Facility could take action or exercise remedies, including proceeding against the collateral granted to them to secure that indebtedness. Travelport has pledged a significant portion of its assets as collateral under the Senior Secured Credit Facility. If the lenders under the Senior Secured Credit Facility accelerate the repayment of borrowings, Travelport cannot provide assurance that it will have sufficient assets to repay the Senior Secured Credit Facility as well as its unsecured indebtedness, including its Notes.
Despite its high indebtedness level, Travelport may still be able to incur significant additional amounts of debt, which could further exacerbate the risks associated with its substantial indebtedness.
          Travelport and its subsidiaries may be able to incur substantial indebtedness in connection with an acquisition or for other strategic purposes in the future. In addition to its currently available borrowings, the terms of Travelport’s indentures permit it to increase commitments under the revolving credit facility. All of those borrowings and any other secured indebtedness permitted under the Senior Secured Credit Facility and the indentures are effectively senior to its Notes and the subsidiary guarantees. In addition, the indentures governing the Notes do not prevent Travelport from incurring obligations that do not constitute indebtedness. If Travelport were to increase such commitments, add such facilities or incur such obligations, the risks associated with its substantial level of indebtedness, which could limit its financial and operational flexibility, would increase.
Government regulation could impose taxes or other burdens on Travelport, which could increase its costs or decrease demand for its products.
          Travelport relies upon generally accepted interpretations of tax laws and regulations in the countries in which it operates and for which it provides travel inventory. Travelport cannot be certain that these interpretations are accurate or that the responsible taxing authority is in agreement with its views. The imposition of additional taxes could cause Travelport to have to pay taxes that it currently does not pay or collect on behalf of authorities and increase the costs of its products or services, which would increase its costs of operations.
Changes in tax laws or interpretations thereof may result in an increase in its effective tax rate.
          Travelport has operations in various countries that have differing tax laws and rates. A significant portion of its revenue and income is earned in countries with low corporate tax rates and it intends to continue to focus on growing its businesses in these countries. Travelport’s income tax reporting is subject to audit by domestic and foreign authorities, and its effective tax rate may change from year to year based on changes in the mix of activities and income allocated or earned among various jurisdictions, tax laws in these jurisdictions, tax treaties between countries, its eligibility for benefits under those tax treaties and the estimated values of deferred tax assets

52


 

and liabilities. Such changes could result in an increase in the effective tax rate applicable to all or a portion of its income which would reduce its profitability.
Fluctuations in the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar and other currencies may adversely impact Travelport’s results of operations.
          Travelport’s results of operations are reported in U.S. dollars. While most of its revenue is denominated in U.S. dollars, a portion of Travelport’s revenue and costs, including interest obligations on a portion of its Senior Secured Credit Facility and on the euro-denominated Senior Notes due 2014 and Senior Subordinated Notes, is denominated in other currencies, such as pounds sterling, the euro and the Australian dollar. As a result, Travelport faces exposure to adverse movements in currency exchange rates. The results of Travelport’s operations and its operating expenses are exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations as the financial results of those operations are translated from local currency into U.S. dollars upon consolidation. If the U.S. dollar weakens against the local currency, the translation of these foreign currency-based local operations will result in increased net assets, revenue, operating expenses, and net income or loss. Similarly, Travelport’s local currency-based net assets, revenue, operating expenses, and net income or loss will decrease if the U.S. dollar strengthens against local currency. Additionally, transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency may result in gains and losses that may adversely impact its results of operations.
F. Risks Related To Travelport’s Relationship With Orbitz Worldwide
Travelport has recorded a significant charge to earnings, and may in the future be required to record additional significant charges to earnings if its investment in the equity of Orbitz Worldwide continues to be impaired.
          Travelport owns approximately 48% of Orbitz Worldwide’s outstanding common stock, which Travelport accounts for using the equity method of accounting. Travelport recorded losses of $4 million related to its investment in Orbitz Worldwide for the six months ended June 30, 2011.
          Travelport is required under U.S. GAAP to review its investments in equity interests for impairment when events or changes in circumstance indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Travelport evaluates its equity investment in Orbitz Worldwide for impairment on a quarterly basis. This analysis is focused on the market value of Orbitz Worldwide common stock compared to the book value of such common stock. Factors that could lead to impairment of Travelport’s investment in the equity of Orbitz Worldwide include, but are not limited to, a prolonged period of decline in the price of Orbitz Worldwide stock or a decline in the operating performance of, or an announcement of adverse changes or events by, Orbitz Worldwide. In addition, in the event that Travelport acquires a majority interest in Orbitz Worldwide, Travelport will be required to consolidate Orbitz Worldwide in its consolidated financial statements.
          As of June 30, 2011, the fair market value of Travelport’s investment in Orbitz Worldwide was approximately $122 million and the carrying value of its investment was approximately $90 million. The results of Orbitz Worldwide for the year ended December 31, 2010, were impacted by the impairment charge recorded by Orbitz Worldwide amounting to $81 million. During that period, in connection with Orbitz Worldwide’s annual impairment test for goodwill and intangible assets and as a result of lower than expected performance and future cash flows for its HotelClub and CheapTickets brands, Orbitz Worldwide recorded a non-cash impairment charge. Travelport may be required in the future to record additional charges to earnings if its investment in the equity of Orbitz Worldwide becomes further impaired. Any such charges would adversely impact its results of operations.

53


 

Orbitz Worldwide is an important customer of Travelport’s businesses.
          Orbitz Worldwide is Travelport’s largest GDS subscriber, accounting for 14% of its total air segments in the year ended December 31, 2010. Travelport’s agreements with Orbitz Worldwide may not be renewed at their expiration or may be renewed on terms less favorable to Travelport. In the event Orbitz Worldwide terminates its relationships with Travelport or Orbitz Worldwide’s business is materially impacted for any reason and, as a result, Orbitz Worldwide loses, or fails to generate, a substantial amount of bookings that would otherwise be processed through Travelport’s GDS, Travelport’s business and results of operations would be adversely affected.
G. Legal And Regulatory Risks
Third parties may claim that Travelport has infringed their intellectual property rights, which could expose Travelport to substantial damages and restrict its operations.
          Travelport has faced and in the future could face claims that it has infringed the patents, copyrights, trademarks or other intellectual property rights of others. In addition, Travelport may be required to indemnify travel suppliers for claims made against them. Any claims against Travelport or such travel suppliers could require Travelport to spend significant time and money in litigation or pay damages. Such claims could also delay or prohibit the use of existing, or the release of new, products, services or processes, and the development of new intellectual property. Travelport could be required to obtain licenses to the intellectual property that is the subject of the infringement claims, and resolution of these matters may not be available on acceptable terms or at all. Intellectual property claims against Travelport could have a material adverse effect on Travelport’s business, financial condition and results of operations, and such claims may result in a loss of intellectual property protections that relate to certain parts of its business.
Travelport may become involved in legal proceedings and may experience unfavorable outcomes.
          Travelport may in the future become subject to material legal proceedings in the course of its business, including, but not limited to, actions relating to contract disputes, business practices, intellectual property and other commercial and tax matters. Such legal proceedings could involve claims for substantial amounts of money or for other relief or might necessitate changes to Travelport’s business or operations, and the defense of such actions may be both time consuming and expensive. Further, if any such proceedings were to result in an unfavorable outcome, it could have a material adverse effect on Travelport’s business, financial position and results of operations.
Travelport’s businesses are regulated and any failure to comply with such regulations or any changes in such regulations could adversely affect it.
          Travelport operates in a regulated industry. Travelport’s businesses, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected by unfavorable changes in or the enactment of new laws, rules and/or regulations applicable to it, which could decrease demand for products and services, increase costs or subject it to additional liabilities. Moreover, regulatory authorities have relatively broad discretion to grant, renew and revoke licenses and approvals and to implement regulations. Accordingly, such regulatory authorities could prevent or temporarily suspend Travelport from carrying on some or all of its activities or otherwise penalize Travelport if its practices were found not to comply with the then current regulatory or licensing requirements or any interpretation of such requirements by the regulatory authority. Travelport’s failure to comply with any of these requirements or interpretations could have a material adverse effect on its operations.
          Travelport’s consumer and retail distribution channels are subject to laws and regulations relating to sales and marketing activities, including those prohibiting unfair and deceptive advertising or practices.

54


 

Travelport’s travel services are subject to regulation and laws governing the offer and/or sale of travel products and services, including laws requiring Travelport to be licensed or bonded in various jurisdictions and to comply with certain disclosure requirements. As a seller of air transportation products in the United States, Travelport is also subject to regulation by the U.S. Department of Transportation, which has authority to enforce economic regulations, and may assess civil penalties or challenge its operating authority. Travelport stores a large volume of personally identifiable information which is subject to legislation and regulation in numerous jurisdictions around the world, including in the U.S., where it is safe harbor certified, and in Europe.
          In Europe, revised computerized reservation systems (“CRS”) regulations entered into force on March 29, 2009. These regulations or interpretations of them may increase Travelport’s cost of doing business or lower its revenues, limit its ability to sell marketing data, impact its relationships with travel agencies, airlines, rail companies, or others, impair the enforceability of existing agreements with travel agencies and other users of its system, prohibit or limit Travelport from offering services or products, or limit its ability to establish or change fees.
          The CRS regulations require GDS, among other things, to clearly and specifically identify in their displays any flights that are subject to an operating ban within the European Community and to introduce a specific symbol in their displays to identify each so-called blacklisted carrier. Travelport includes a link to the European Commission’s blacklist on the information pages accessible by travel agents through its Ask Travelport online facility. Travelport is inhibited from applying a specific symbol to identify a blacklisted carrier in its displays as the European Commission’s blacklist does not currently identify blacklisted carriers with an IATA airline code, although work on a technical solution is currently under way. A common solution for all GDS is being sought through further dialogue with the European Commission.
          Annex 1(9) of the CRS regulations requires a GDS to display a rail or rail/air alternative to air travel, on the first screen of their principal displays, in certain circumstances. Travelport currently has few rail participants in its GDS. Travelport can display direct point to point rail services in its GDS principal displays for those rail operators that participate in its GDS. Given the lack of harmonization in the rail industry, displaying rail connections in a similar way to airline connections is extremely complex, particularly in relation to timetabling, ticketing and booking systems. Travelport is working towards a solution that will include functionality to search and display connected rail alternatives at such time as the rail industry in Europe provides a technically efficient means to do so. Travelport understands that such efficiencies lie at the heart of the European Commission’s policy objectives to sustain a high quality level of European rail services in the future.
          Although regulations governing GDS have been lifted in the United States, continued regulation of GDS in the European Union and elsewhere could also create the operational challenge of supporting different products, services and business practices to conform to the different regulatory regimes.
          Travelport’s failure to comply with these laws and regulations may subject it to fines, penalties and potential criminal violations. Any changes to these laws or regulations or any new laws or regulations may make it more difficult for Travelport to operate its businesses and may have a material adverse effect on its operations. Travelport does not currently maintain a central database of regulatory requirements affecting its worldwide operations and, as a result, the risk of non-compliance with the laws and regulations described above is heightened.
H. Methods Of Solicitation
          Bankruptcy Rule 3018(b) provides that a holder of a claim or interest who has accepted or rejected a plan before the commencement of the case under the Bankruptcy Code will not be deemed to have accepted or rejected the plan if the court finds after notice and a hearing that the plan was not transmitted in accordance with

55


 

reasonable solicitation procedures. In addition, section 1126(b) of the Bankruptcy Code provides that a holder of a claim or interest that has accepted or rejected a plan before the commencement of a case under the Bankruptcy Code is deemed to have accepted or rejected the plan if (i) the solicitation of such acceptance or rejection was in compliance with the applicable nonbankruptcy law, rule, or regulation governing the adequacy of disclosure in connection with such solicitation or (ii) there is no such law, rule, or regulation, and such acceptance or rejection was solicited after disclosure to such holder of adequate information (as defined by section 1125(a) of the Bankruptcy Code).
          The Company believes that its Solicitation of votes to accept or reject the Plan from the Holders of Impaired Claims and Interests is proper under applicable nonbankruptcy law, rules, and regulations, and that this Disclosure Statement contains “adequate information” as defined by section 1125(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Company also believes that it is not required to solicit any other class under the Bankruptcy Code or applicable nonbankruptcy law, rules, or regulations. The Company cannot be certain, however, that its Solicitation of acceptances or rejections will be approved by the Bankruptcy Court. There is also a risk that confirmation of the Plan could be denied by the Bankruptcy Court.
          The Company believes that the Solicitation and the use of this Disclosure Statement and the Ballots for the purpose of obtaining acceptances of the Plan comply with the Bankruptcy Code. The Bankruptcy Court may decide, however, that the Solicitation failed to meet the requirements of section 1126(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. If the Bankruptcy Court determines that the Solicitation did not comply with the requirements of section 1126(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Company may seek to resolicit acceptances, and, in that event, confirmation of the Plan could be delayed and possibly jeopardized.
I. Classification And Treatment Of Claims And Interests
          Section 1122 of the Bankruptcy Code requires that the Plan classify Claims against and Interests in the Company. The Bankruptcy Code also provides that, except for certain Claims classified for administrative convenience, the Plan may place a Claim or Interest in a particular Class only if such Claim or Interest is substantially similar to the other Claims or Interests of such Class. The Company believes that all Claims and Interests have been appropriately classified in the Plan.
          To the extent that the Bankruptcy Court finds that a different classification is required for the Plan to be confirmed, the Company presently anticipates that it would seek to (i) modify the Plan, subject to the terms of the Plan and the Restructuring Support Agreement, to provide for whatever classification might be required for confirmation and (ii) use the acceptances received from any creditor or equity holder pursuant to the Solicitation for the purpose of obtaining the approval of the Class or Classes of which such creditor or equity holder ultimately is deemed to be a member. Any such reclassification of creditors or equity holders, although subject to the notice and hearing requirements of the Bankruptcy Code, could adversely affect the Class in which such creditor or equity holder was initially a member, or any other Class under the Plan, by changing the composition of such Class and the vote required for approval of the Plan. There can be no assurance that the Bankruptcy Court, after finding that a classification was inappropriate and requiring a reclassification, would approve the Plan based upon such reclassification. Except to the extent that modification of classification in the Plan requires resolicitation, the Company will, in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code and the Bankruptcy Rules, seek a determination by the Bankruptcy Court that acceptance of the Plan by any Holder of Claims or Interests pursuant to the Solicitation will constitute a consent to the Plan’s treatment of such Holder regardless of the Class as to which such Holder is ultimately deemed to be a member. The Company believes that, under the Bankruptcy Rules, the Company would be required to resolicit votes for or against the Plan only when a modification adversely affects the treatment of the Claim of any creditor or Interest of any equity holder.

56


 

          The Bankruptcy Code also requires that the Plan provide the same treatment for each Claim or Interest of a particular Class unless the Holder of a particular Claim or Interest agrees to a less favorable treatment of its Claim or Interest. The Debtor believes that it has complied with the requirement of equal treatment. To the extent that the Bankruptcy Court finds that the Plan does not satisfy such requirement, the Bankruptcy Court could deny confirmation of the Plan.
          Issues or disputes relating to classification and/or treatment could result in a delay in the Confirmation and consummation of the Plan and could increase the risk that the Plan will not be consummated.
J. Risk Of Non-Occurrence Of The Effective Date
          Although the Debtor believes that the Effective Date will occur very quickly after the Confirmation Date, there can be no assurance as to such timing.
VII. APPLICABILITY OF FEDERAL AND OTHER SECURITIES LAWS
A. Issuance And Resale Of New Equity Shares Under the Plan
          1. Exemption From Registration
          The Plan provides for the Debtor’s direct parent, Worldwide, to issue New Equity Shares to Holders of Class 2 PIK Loan Unsecured Claims. The Debtor believes that the New Equity Shares constitute “securities,” as defined in section 2(a)(1) of the Securities Act, section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code, and applicable Blue Sky Law. Section 4(2) of the Securities Act provides that the registration requirements of section 5 of the Securities Act shall not apply to the offer and sale of a security in connection with transactions not involving any public offering. By virtue of section 18 of the Securities Act, section 4(2) also provides that any state Blue Sky Law requirements shall not apply to such offer or sale.
          Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code provides that the registration requirements of section 5 of the Securities Act (and any state Blue Sky Law requirements) shall not apply to the offer or sale of stock, options, warrants, or other securities by an affiliate participating in a joint plan with a debtor if (a) the offer or sale occurs under a plan of reorganization; (b) the recipients of the securities hold a claim against, an interest in, or claim for administrative expense against, the debtor; and (c) the securities are issued in exchange for a claim against or interest in a debtor or are issued principally in such exchange and partly for cash and property.
          In reliance upon these exemptions, the offer and sale of the New Equity Shares will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state Blue Sky Law. Accordingly, the New Equity Shares may be resold without registration under the Securities Act or other federal securities laws, unless the holder is an “underwriter” (as discussed below) with respect to such securities, as that term is defined in section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act and in the Bankruptcy Code. In addition, the New Equity Shares generally may be able to be resold without registration under state securities laws pursuant to various exemptions provided by the respective Blue Sky Law of those states; however, the availability of such exemptions cannot be known unless individual state Blue Sky Laws are examined. Therefore, recipients of the New Equity Shares are advised to consult with their own legal advisors as to the availability of any such exemption from registration under state Blue Sky Law in any given instance and as to any applicable requirements or conditions to such availability.

57


 

          2. Resales Of The New Equity Shares; Definition Of Underwriter
          If the holder of the New Equity Shares is an underwriter, the New Equity Shares will be “restricted securities” and may not be resold under the Securities Act and applicable state Blue Sky Law absent an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to an applicable exemption from registration, including Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. Section 1145(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code defines an “underwriter” as one who, except with respect to “ordinary trading transactions” of an entity that is not an “issuer,” (a) purchases a claim against, interest in, or claim for an administrative expense in the case concerning the debtor, if such purchase is with a view to distribution of any security received or to be received in exchange for such claim or interest; or (b) offers to sell securities offered or sold under a plan for the holders of such securities; or (c) offers to buy securities offered or sold under a plan from the holders of such securities, if such offer to buy is (i) with a view to distribution of such securities and (ii) under an agreement made in connection with the plan, with the consummation of the plan, or with the offer or sale of securities under the plan; or (d) is an issuer of the securities within the meaning of section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. In addition, a Person who receives a fee in exchange for purchasing an issuer’s securities could also be considered an underwriter within the meaning of section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act.
          The definition of an “issuer” for purposes of whether a Person is an underwriter under section 1145(b)(1)(D) of the Bankruptcy Code, by reference to section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, includes as “statutory underwriters” all Persons who, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with, an issuer of securities. The reference to “issuer,” as used in the definition of “underwriter” contained in section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, is intended to cover “controlling Persons” of the issuer of the securities. “Control,” as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act, means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract, or otherwise. Accordingly, an officer or director of a reorganized debtor or its successor under a plan of reorganization may be deemed to be a “controlling Person” of such debtor or successor, particularly if the management position or directorship is coupled with ownership of a significant percentage of the reorganized debtor’s or its successor’s voting securities. Moreover, the legislative history of section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code suggests that a creditor who owns ten percent (10%) or more of a class of securities of a reorganized debtor may be presumed to be a “controlling Person” and, therefore, an underwriter.
          Resales of the New Equity Shares by Persons deemed to be “underwriters” (which definition includes “controlling Persons”) are not exempted by section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code from registration under the Securities Act or other applicable law. Under certain circumstances, holders of the New Equity Shares who are deemed to be “underwriters” may be entitled to resell their New Equity Shares pursuant to the limited safe harbor resale provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. Generally, Rule 144 would permit the public sale of securities received by such Person if current information regarding the issuer is publicly available and if volume limitations, manner of sale requirements and certain other conditions are met. However, the Company does not presently intend to make publicly available the requisite current information regarding the Company, and as a result, Rule 144 will not be available for resales of New Equity Shares by Persons deemed to be underwriters.
          Whether any particular Person would be deemed to be an “underwriter” (including whether such Person is a “controlling Person”) with respect to the New Equity Shares would depend upon various facts and circumstances applicable to that Person. Accordingly, the Debtor expresses no view whether any Person would be deemed an “underwriter” with respect to the New Equity Shares. In view of the complex nature of the question of whether a particular Person may be an “underwriter,” the Debtor makes no representations concerning the right of any Person to freely resell the New Equity Shares. Accordingly, the Debtor recommends that potential recipients of New Equity Shares consult their own counsel concerning their ability to freely trade such securities without compliance with the federal and state securities laws.

58


 

          PERSONS WHO RECEIVE NEW EQUITY SHARES UNDER THE PLAN ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN LEGAL ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE RESTRICTIONS APPLICABLE UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS AND THE CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER WHICH SECURITIES MAY BE SOLD IN RELIANCE ON SUCH LAWS.
          THE FOREGOING SUMMARY DISCUSSION IS GENERAL IN NATURE AND HAS BEEN INCLUDED IN THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT SOLELY FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES. THE COMPANY MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS CONCERNING, AND DOES NOT PROVIDE, ANY OPINIONS OR ADVICE WITH RESPECT TO THE NEW EQUITY SHARES OR THE BANKRUPTCY MATTERS DESCRIBED IN THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT. IN LIGHT OF THE UNCERTAINTY CONCERNING THE AVAILABILITY OF EXEMPTIONS FROM THE RELEVANT PROVISIONS OF FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS, THE COMPANY ENCOURAGES EACH ELIGIBLE HOLDER OF CLASS 2 PIK LOAN UNSECURED CLAIMS TO CONSIDER CAREFULLY AND CONSULT WITH ITS OWN LEGAL ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO ALL SUCH MATTERS. BECAUSE OF THE COMPLEX, SUBJECTIVE NATURE OF THE QUESTION OF WHETHER A PARTICULAR HOLDER MAY BE AN UNDERWRITER, THE COMPANY MAKES NO REPRESENTATION CONCERNING THE ABILITY OF A PERSON TO DISPOSE OF THE NEW EQUITY SHARES.
VIII. CERTAIN TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS
     The New Equity Shares have not been and may not be registered under the Securities Act and are being issued only to “qualified institutional buyers” within the meaning of Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act. Accordingly, the New Equity Shares may not be offered or sold within the United States to, or for the account or benefit of, persons except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the Securities Act.
     In addition, the New Equity Shares will be subject to certain additional restrictions on transfer. Any such transfer of the New Equity Shares will be deemed null and void and Worldwide reserves the right to cancel any such transfer. Any purported purchaser or transferee of the New Equity Shares in such a transfer will not be recognized as a shareholder of Worldwide for any purpose whatsoever in respect of the New Equity Shares that are the subject of such transfer.
     Each eligible Holder of Class 2 PIK Loan Unsecured Claims who votes to accept the Plan will be deemed to have represented and agreed to the representations and agreements as follows:

IX. CERTAIN TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PLAN
A. CERTAIN BERMUDA TAX CONSIDERATIONS
          At the present time, there is no Bermuda income or profits tax, withholding tax, capital gains tax, capital transfer tax, estate duty or inheritance tax payable by the Company, Worldwide or Worldwide shareholders in respect of Worldwide’s shares. The Company has obtained an assurance from the Minister of Finance of Bermuda under the Exempted Undertakings Tax Protection Act 1966 that, in the event that any legislation is enacted in Bermuda imposing any tax computed on profits or income, or computed on any capital asset, gain or appreciation or any tax in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax, such tax shall not, until March 31, 2035, be applicable to the Company or Worldwide or to any of the operations of either or to the Company’s or Worldwide’s shares, debentures or other obligations except insofar as such tax applies to persons ordinarily resident in Bermuda or is payable by the Company or Worldwide in respect of real property owned or leased by the Company or Worldwide in Bermuda.
B. CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
          The following is a summary (this “Summary”) of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations to an eligible Holder (as defined below) of an Allowed Class 2 PIK Loan Unsecured Claim that, pursuant to the Plan, exchanges its PIK Loan Unsecured Claim for its Pro Rata share of (i) the PIK Loan Cash Distribution, (ii) the Second Lien OpCo Term Loan Exchange Portion, (iii) (a) the Effective Date Common Stock Distribution, (b) the Post-Effective Date Common Stock Distribution, and (c) the Additional Share Distribution (together the “New Worldwide Shares”), (iv) the Tranche A Extended PIK Loan and (v) the Tranche B Extended PIK Loan (together with the Tranche A Extended PIK Loan, the “New PIK Loan,” and the New PIK Loan together with the Second Lien OpCo Term Loan Exchange Portion, collectively, the “New Loans”) (such transaction, the “Exchange”). The New Loans, together with the New Worldwide Shares, are hereinafter referred to as the “New Interests.” This Summary addresses only U.S. federal income tax considerations relevant to Holders that hold the PIK Loan Unsecured Claims and will hold the New Interests as “capital assets” within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Tax Code”). This Summary is based on the Tax Code, Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, published rulings of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and judicial and administrative interpretations thereof, in each case as in effect and available as of the date hereof. Subsequent developments in any of the foregoing, or changes in how any of these authorities are interpreted, which may be applied retroactively, could have a material effect on the U.S. federal income tax consequences of participating in the Exchange, and of owning and disposing of the New Interests as described in this Summary. No ruling will be sought from the IRS with respect to any statement or conclusion in this Summary, and no assurance can be given that the IRS will not challenge such statement or conclusion in this Summary or, if challenged, that a court will uphold such statement or conclusion.
          This Summary does not purport to address all tax consequences that may be important to a particular Holder in light of that Holder’s investment or other circumstances, or to certain categories of investors that may be subject to special rules, including, among others, financial institutions, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, dealers or traders in securities or currencies, tax-exempt entities, partnership or other pass-through entities, investors holding the PIK Loan Unsecured Claims or the New Interests as part of an “integrated,” “hedging” or “conversion” transaction or as a position in a “straddle” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, grantor trusts, Holders that have a “functional currency” other than the U.S. dollar, Holders that have a taxable year other than a calendar year, U.S. expatriates and Holders subject to the U.S. federal alternative minimum

61


 

tax. This Summary does not address any tax considerations to secondary purchasers of the New Interests. In addition, this discussion does not address any tax considerations arising under the U.S. federal estate and gift tax laws or the laws of any state, local, foreign or other taxing jurisdiction. This Summary does not address any consequences that may result to Holders as a result of becoming a United States Shareholder, as defined in the Tax Code, with respect to any controlled foreign corporation (“CFC”), including Worldwide or any entity owned directly or indirectly by Worldwide.
          For purposes of this Summary, a “U.S. Holder” means a holder of a PIK Loan Unsecured Claim that is (1) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States, (2) a corporation or other entity taxable as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes created in, or organized under the law of, the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, (3) an estate the income of which is includable in gross income for United States federal income tax purposes regardless of its source or (4) a trust (A) the administration of which is subject to the primary supervision of a United States court and of which one or more United States persons who have the authority to control all substantial decisions or (B) that has a valid election in effect under applicable United States Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person. For purposes of this Summary, a “Non-U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of a PIK Loan Unsecured Claim that is neither a partnership (or other entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) nor a U.S. Holder. For purposes of this Summary, a “Holder” is a U.S. Holder or a Non-U.S. Holder.
          THIS SUMMARY OF CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS IS FOR GENERAL INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY AND IS NOT TAX ADVICE. EACH HOLDER IS URGED TO CONSULT ITS INDEPENDENT TAX ADVISOR AS TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSIDERATIONS TO SUCH HOLDER OF ACQUIRING THE NEW INTERESTS PURSUANT TO THE EXCHANGE OFFER AND THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF THE NEW INTERESTS, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY OF U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, OR LOCAL TAX LAWS OR NON-U.S. TAX LAWS.
          If a partnership (including any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds a PIK Loan Unsecured Claim and acquires the New Interests pursuant to the Plan, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to the partners of such partnership will depend on the activities of the partnership and the status of the partners. A partnership considering acquiring the New Interests pursuant to the Plan should consult its independent tax advisor regarding the consequences to its partners of acquiring the New Interests pursuant to the Plan and the ownership or disposition of the New Interests by the partnership.
          TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH TREASURY DEPARTMENT CIRCULAR 230, HOLDERS OF THE PIK LOAN UNSECURED CLAIMS ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT: (A) ANY DISCUSSION OF FEDERAL TAX ISSUES IN THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT IS NOT INTENDED TO BE RELIED UPON, AND CANNOT BE RELIED UPON, BY HOLDERS FOR THE PURPOSE OF AVOIDING PENALTIES THAT MAY BE IMPOSED ON HOLDERS UNDER THE TAX CODE; (B) SUCH DISCUSSION IS BEING USED IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROMOTION OR MARKETING (WITHIN THE MEANING OF CIRCULAR 230) BY TRAVELPORT OF THE TRANSACTIONS OR MATTERS ADDRESSED HEREIN; AND (C) CREDITORS AND NEW INTEREST-HOLDERS SHOULD SEEK ADVICE BASED ON THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES FROM AN INDEPENDENT TAX ADVISOR.
Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences To The Company
Cancellation Of Indebtedness Income
          Treatment Of Worldwide As Issuer Of The PIK Loan Unsecured Claims And The New Interests For U.S. Federal Income Tax Purposes. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, Worldwide is expected to be treated as, prior to the Exchange, the issuer of the PIK Loan Unsecured Claims and, in connection with the Exchange, the transferor of the PIK Loan Cash Distribution and the issuer of the New Interests. This is because each of the Company, Travelport Limited, certain direct and indirect subsidiaries of Travelport Limited and Travelport LLC is, or will be at the time of the Exchange, treated as an entity that is not regarded as separate from (i.e., is treated as a division of) Worldwide. Thus, pursuant to the Plan, Worldwide will be treated as having satisfied each PIK Loan Unsecured Claim in exchange for the PIK Loan Cash Distribution and the New Interests.

62


 

          COD Income. In general, the discharge of a debt obligation (such as a PIK Loan Unsecured Claim) by a corporation in exchange for cash and other property having a fair market value (or, in the case of a new debt instrument, an “issue price”) that is less than the “adjusted issue price” of the old debt gives rise to cancellation of indebtedness (“COD”) income for U.S. federal income tax purposes to a corporation. Although not free from doubt, Worldwide intends to take the position that any COD income recognized by Worldwide as a result of the Plan is neither effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States nor U.S. source “fixed or determinable annual or periodical gains, profits or income”; therefore, Worldwide, a Bermuda corporation, should not recognize any COD income for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the Plan.
Net Operating Losses – Section 382
          An indirect subsidiary of the Company, Travelport Inc., a Delaware corporation, has a significant amount of net operating losses (“NOLs”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Section 382 of the Tax Code contains rules that limit the ability of a company that has NOLs and undergoes an “ownership change,” which is generally an increase in the ownership by certain shareholders of more than 50% in value of its stock over a three-year period, to utilize its NOL carryforwards and certain built-in losses recognized in years after the ownership change. These rules generally operate by taking into account “owner shifts” on the part of stockholders that own, directly or indirectly, 5% or more of the stock of the loss corporation and any changes in ownership arising from a new issuance of stock by the loss corporation. Generally, if an ownership change occurs, the NOLs that the loss corporation can use each year will be limited to the product of the applicable long-term tax exempt rate (a rate published monthly by the U.S. Treasury department) (3.86% for ownership changes that occur in September 2011) and the fair market value of the company’s stock immediately before the ownership change, with certain adjustments.
          In connection with the Plan, Worldwide will issue New Worldwide Shares that will result in an owner shift with respect to the stock of Travelport Inc. of up to 44%. In addition, Worldwide may issue Worldwide shares in an amount of up to 5% of the fully diluted equity of Worldwide pursuant to a management incentive plan, which also may result in an owner shift with respect to Travelport Inc. Although the Company believes that these owner shifts, combined with other owner shifts that have occurred to date during the relevant testing period, should not result in an “ownership change” under Tax Code section 382 with respect to Travelport Inc. based upon the terms of the Plan, there can be no assurance of this fact. Moreover, even if the issuance of New Worldwide Shares and management equity in connection with the Plan does not result in an ownership change with respect to Travelport Inc., there can be no assurance that there will not be future owner shifts that result in an ownership change. If Travelport Inc. were to experience an ownership change as defined in Tax Code section 382, its ability to use its NOLs thereafter would become subject to the limitations described above. In addition, its ability to use its “net unrealized built-in losses” (if any) to offset future taxable income realized within five years of the ownership change could become subject to limitation. Finally, Travelport Inc.’s NOLs could become subject to further limitations if it were to undergo additional future ownership changes and could potentially be reduced to zero if Travelport Inc. were to fail to continue its business enterprise for at least two years following any ownership change.
Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences Of The Exchange To U.S. Holders
          The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by the Plan to U.S. Holders of a PIK Loan Unsecured Claim are not entirely clear. Although the discussion below describes certain possible U.S. federal income tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by the Plan to U.S. Holders, no assurance can be given as to the treatment of such transactions by the IRS or as to whether such treatment would be sustained by a court. If required under the Tax Code, the Company will notify the U.S. Holders as to any position the Company is required to take regarding the transactions contemplated by the Plan. Each U.S. Holder should consult its independent tax advisor regarding the tax consequences to it of the transactions contemplated by the Plan and information that may be relevant to its particular situation and circumstances.
          Travelport believes that the New Loans should be treated as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes and intend to treat the New Loans as such. By acquiring New Loans pursuant to the Exchange, each beneficial owner agrees to treat the New Loans as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This Summary assumes that the New Loans are properly characterized as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If any of the New Loans were treated as equity, adverse consequences could result to one or more of the Company, Worldwide, Travelport LLC, or Travelport Inc., and to Holders.

63


 

The Exchange
          Treatment Of The New Worldwide Shares Held In The Escrow. The U.S. federal income tax characterization of the New Worldwide Shares held in the Escrow is not entirely clear. Although there is no authority on point and the matter is not free from doubt, Travelport believes that these shares should not be treated as issued for U.S. federal income tax purposes until released from the Escrow to a U.S. Holder and accordingly that a Holder should not be treated as the owner of any portion of the Post-Effective Date Common Stock Distribution or other assets, if any, held in the Escrow (collectively, the “Escrow Shares,” and together with the Additional Share Distribution, the “Unreleased Worldwide Shares”) until the Holder has a right to receive these shares and other assets, if any, from the Equity Escrow Agent, and this Summary assumes that this is the case. If the IRS were to successfully challenge this position, certain of the tax consequences outlined in this Summary would be different in a number of respects. Each U.S. Holder should consult its independent tax advisor regarding the tax treatment of New Worldwide Shares held in the Escrow.
          Gain Or Loss Realized In The Exchange. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, a U.S. Holder should generally realize (but not necessarily recognize; see “Tax-Deferred Recapitalization” below) gain or loss with respect to the exchange of its PIK Loan Unsecured Claim for the PIK Loan Cash Distribution, the New Loans and the New Worldwide Shares in an amount equal to the difference between (a) the amount realized on the Exchange by the U.S. Holder and (b) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its PIK Loan Unsecured Claim exchanged therefor immediately prior to the Exchange.
          The amount realized on the Exchange by a U.S. Holder should equal the sum of (i) the amount of cash received, (ii) the “issue price” (as discussed below; see “Tax Consequences Of Holding The New PIK Loan And The Second Lien OpCo Term Loan Exchange Portion — Issue Price”) of each New Loan, and (iii) the fair market value of the New Worldwide Shares. For this purpose, the determination of the amount realized with respect to the Unreleased Worldwide Shares is unclear in a number of respects and may differ depending on the overall tax treatment of the Exchange. In addition, the effect (if any) of Reallocation Events (as defined below) on the determination of the amount realized on the Exchange by a U.S. Holder, including adjustments in the event of a Return or Determination of Non-Issuance (each as defined below), is unclear.
          A U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its PIK Loan Unsecured Claim generally will equal the amount paid for such PIK Loan Unsecured Claim, increased by any original issue discount (“OID”) previously included in income or market discount, if any, previously taken into account by such U.S. Holder and reduced by any amortizable bond premium previously amortized and any payments previously made to the U.S. Holder on the PIK Loan Unsecured Claim in respect of such PIK Loan Unsecured Claim.
          Tax-Deferred Recapitalization. A corporation engages in a tax-deferred “recapitalization” if it exchanges outstanding stock and/or securities for newly issued stock and/or securities (each as defined under the relevant Tax Code rules). Thus, the Exchange would constitute a tax-deferred recapitalization in whole or in part if the PIK Loan Unsecured Claim is characterized as a “security” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A debt instrument constitutes a “security” for these purposes if, based on all the facts and circumstances, the instrument represents a meaningful investment in the issuer of the instrument. Although there are a number of factors that may affect whether a debt instrument is a “security,” one of the most important factors is the term of the instrument. In general, debt instruments with an original term of less than five years are less likely to be treated as “securities,” and debt instruments with an original term of more than ten years are more likely to be treated as “securities.” Whether a debt instrument with an original term of between five and ten years qualifies as a “security” is not entirely clear and depends on the facts and circumstances. In addition, under a revenue ruling issued by the IRS, under certain circumstances the term of a debt instrument received in a reorganization (such as a tax-deferred recapitalization) in exchange for another debt instrument may be considered to include the term of the original debt instrument for purposes of determining whether the newly received debt instrument is a security. Each PIK Loan Unsecured Claim has an original term of five years. The Tranche A Extended PIK Loan has an additional term of less than a year, which, if considered together with the term of each

64


 

PIK Loan Unsecured Claim, would yield a term of five to six years. The Tranche B Extended PIK Loan has an additional term of three to four years, which, if considered together with the term of each PIK Loan Unsecured Claim, would yield a term of eight to nine years. The Second Lien OpCo Term Loan Exchange Portion has a term of one year, which, if considered together with the term of the PIK Loan Unsecured Claim, would yield a term of six years. Therefore, it is not entirely clear whether any of the PIK Loan Unsecured Claims, the Tranche A Extended PIK Loan, the Tranche B Extended PIK Loan or the Second Lien OpCo Term Loan Exchange Portion would qualify as a “security.” It appears likely, however, based upon the IRS ruling mentioned above, that if the PIK Loan Unsecured Claim is a “security,” each of the Tranche A Extended PIK Loan, the Tranche B Extended PIK Loan and the Second Lien OpCo Term Loan Exchange Portion also would qualify as a security, and the remainder of the discussion under this heading assumes this to be the case. Due to the inherently factual nature of the determination, however, each U.S. Holder is urged to consult its independent tax advisor regarding the classification of its PIK Loan Unsecured Claim, Tranche A Extended PIK Loan, the Tranche B Extended PIK Loan and the Second Lien OpCo Term Loan Exchange Portion as “securities” for U.S. federal income tax purposes and the application of the tax-free recapitalization rules.
          Assuming, as noted above, that the PIK Loan Unsecured Claim qualifies as a security for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and that the New Loans also so qualify, the exchange of the PIK Loan Unsecured Claim for the PIK Loan Cash Distribution and the New Interests pursuant to the Exchange should qualify as a tax-deferred recapitalization. Subject to possible adjustment (as described below), under these circumstances, a U.S. Holder generally should recognize gain (but not loss) pursuant to the Exchange in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of gain realized in the Exchange (as described in “Gain Or Loss Realized In The Exchange” above) or (ii) the amount of cash received in the Exchange (such recognized gain, the “Initial Boot Gain”). As noted earlier, the tax treatment of the release or issuance of the Unreleased Worldwide Shares is not entirely clear, and the gain that a U.S. Holder should recognize in the Exchange may need to be adjusted upon a Release (as defined below). Subject to the recharacterization of market discount as ordinary income (see “Market Discount” below), any such gain should be capital gain, which would be long-term capital gain if the U.S. Holder held the PIK Loan Unsecured Claim for more than one year as of the date of the Exchange.
          Upon the release or issuance of all or any part of the Unreleased Worldwide Shares to a U.S. Holder (any such release or issuance, a “Release”) more than 6 months after the Exchange, a portion of such released or issued stock and any cash or other property released in connection therewith (such cash or other property, the “Other Escrow Distribution”) should be recharacterized as imputed interest based on the “lowest 3-month” Federal short-term rate (for Releases that occur within 3 years of the date of the Exchange) or the “lowest 3-month” Federal mid-term rate (for Releases that occur after 3 years but within 9 years of the date of the Exchange), compounded semiannually, as of the date of the Exchange (if the Exchange takes place in September 2011, the rates are 0.26% and 1.62%, respectively).
          Pursuant to the Plan, upon a Release that occurs more than 6 months after the Exchange, (i) Travelport will treat as imputed interest, first, all or a portion of the Other Escrow Distribution distributed in the Release (such recharacterized Other Escrow Distribution, the “Imputed Interest Distribution”), and thereafter, to the extent necessary, a portion of the stock of Worldwide distributed in the Release (such recharacterized stock, the “Imputed Interest Shares,” and together with the Imputed Interest Distribution, the “Imputed Interest Property”); and (ii) Travelport will treat any Imputed Interest Shares as separate shares (and not as a portion of each share of Worldwide that is distributed in connection with the Release). There is no authority on point for the foregoing treatment, and there is no assurance that the IRS will not challenge such treatment or, if challenged, that a court will uphold such treatment. If the foregoing treatment is not respected, a U.S. Holder may recognize a larger amount of income upon a Release and may hold stock of Worldwide distributed in the Release with a split basis and holding period, among other consequences. The remainder of this discussion assumes that the treatment described in the first sentence of this paragraph is respected. Each U.S. Holder should consult its independent tax advisor regarding the determination of imputed interest upon a Release and information that may be relevant to its particular situation and circumstances.
          Upon a U.S. Holder’s entitlement to receive any Imputed Interest Property in connection with a Release, the U.S. Holder should be taxed on the fair market value of the Imputed Interest Property distributed in the Release as of the date of the Release as interest income.
          Subject to the last sentence of this paragraph concerning Imputed Interest Shares, a U.S. Holder’s tax basis in its New Interests should equal the tax basis of the PIK Loan Unsecured Claim surrendered in exchange therefor (as described in “Gain Or Loss Realized In The Exchange” above), increased by the amount of any gain recognized and decreased by the amount of cash received in the Exchange (as so adjusted, the “Exchange Basis”);

65


 

the Exchange Basis should be allocated among the classes of New Interests received or receivable by the U.S. Holder, including the Unreleased Worldwide Shares, in proportion to their respective fair market values as of the date of the Exchange; and the U.S. Holder’s holding period for its New Interests should include its holding period for its PIK Loan Unsecured Claim. Although not free from doubt, IRS guidance suggests that the Exchange Basis should be allocated over all Unreleased Worldwide Shares, even though a portion of the Unreleased Worldwide Shares will likely be recharacterized as Imputed Interest Shares (and, as discussed in the following paragraph, Travelport believes that the Exchange Basis should be reallocated upon certain Releases to take into account this recharacterization). A U.S. Holder should hold the Imputed Interest Property (other than cash) distributed in a Release with a basis equal to its fair market value as of the date of the Release and a holding period that begins the day after the date of the Release.
          Upon a Release more than 6 months after the Exchange, the determination that a Post-Effective Date Common Stock Distribution to Holders will not be made (the “Return”) or the determination that the Additional Share Distribution will not be issued (the “Determination of Non-Issuance,” and collectively, a “Reallocation Event”), Travelport believes that a U.S. Holder should reallocate the Exchange Basis, less the basis attributable to any New Interests disposed of since the Exchange (including the basis attributable to the Unreleased Worldwide Shares, the right to receive which was also disposed of since the Exchange (together with the disposed-of New Interests, the “Transferred New Interests”), over the New Interests (excluding (x) any Post-Effective Date Common Stock Distribution subject to a Return and Additional Share Distribution that will not be issued and (y) the Transferred New Interests and (z) any Imputed Interest Shares), in proportion to their respective fair market values. Although there is no authority on point and the matter is not free from doubt, Travelport believes that the fair market values for this purpose should be measured as of the date of the Exchange. A U.S. Holder should not recognize gain or loss upon the Return or the Determination of Non-Issuance.
          In the event that a U.S. Holder receives an Other Escrow Distribution (but only to the extent not treated as an Imputed Interest Distribution), Travelport believes that the U.S. Holder should recognize any gain realized with respect to the Exchange that was not previously recognized (see “Gain Or Loss Realized In The Exchange” above) in an amount not in excess of the fair market value of such Other Escrow Distribution (the “Escrow Boot Gain”). Subject to the recharacterization of market discount as ordinary income (see “Market Discount” below), any such Escrow Boot Gain should be capital gain, which would be long-term capital gain if the U.S. Holder held its PIK Loan Unsecured Claim for more than one year as of the date of the Exchange.
          The tax treatment of the transactions described in the foregoing discussion is extremely complex and uncertain in a number of respects; each U.S. Holder should consult its independent tax advisor regarding the treatment of the Unreleased Worldwide Shares and Reallocation Events.
          Taxable Transaction. If the PIK Loan Unsecured Claim is not properly characterized as a security for purposes of the tax-deferred recapitalization rules, then the Exchange cannot qualify as a tax-deferred recapitalization as described above and will be taxable to a U.S. Holder. Because the terms of the Exchange provide for the possibility of future payments (which, as noted above, should include the Unreleased Worldwide Shares), a U.S. Holder may be eligible to report its gain using the “installment method” or, because there is an argument that the fair market value of the Unreleased Worldwide Shares cannot reasonably be ascertained, possibly the “open transaction” method. If a U.S. Holder opts out of (or is ineligible for) either of these reporting methods, the U.S. Holder would likely recognize the gain or loss that it realizes with respect to the Exchange on the date of the Exchange, taking into account the uncertainties associated with the Reallocation Events (such reporting method, the “installment method” or the “open transaction” method, the “Applicable Method”). The rules regarding the Applicable Methods are extremely complicated; each U.S. Holder should consult its independent tax advisor as to whether any such Applicable Method is available to the U.S. Holder and the result thereof.
          Subject to the treatment of a portion of any gain as ordinary income to the extent of any market discount accrued on the PIK Loan Unsecured Claim (see “Market Discount” below), any gain or loss recognized should be capital gain or loss, which would be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder held the PIK Loan Unsecured Claim for more than one year as of the date of the Exchange or, depending on the Applicable Method, with respect to Unreleased Worldwide Shares, as of the date of receipt of the Unreleased Worldwide Shares (as applicable, the “Relevant Date”). The deductibility of capital loss is subject to limitations under the Tax Code.

66


 

          A U.S. Holder generally should have an adjusted tax basis in its Tranche A Extended PIK Loan, Tranche B Extended PIK Loan, and Second Lien OpCo Term Loan Exchange Portion equal to each debt instrument’s issue price (as determined below) and a basis in its New Worldwide Shares equal to their fair market value on the Relevant Date, and generally should commence a new holding period with respect to each applicable class of New Interests the day after the Relevant Date.
          Market Discount. The market discount provisions of the Tax Code may apply to a U.S. Holder of a PIK Loan Unsecured Claim that participates in the Exchange. In general, a PIK Loan Unsecured Claim that was acquired by a U.S. Holder after its original issuance will be treated as acquired with market discount if the PIK Loan Unsecured Claim’s adjusted issue price exceeds the tax basis of the debt instrument in the U.S. Holder’s hands immediately after its acquisition, unless such excess is less than a statutorily defined de minimis amount.
          Under the market discount rules, any gain recognized by an exchanging U.S. Holder with respect to a PIK Loan Unsecured Claim (including Initial Boot Gain and Escrow Boot Gain) that was acquired with market discount generally should be subject to tax as ordinary income to the extent of the market discount that accrued while the PIK Loan Unsecured Claim was held by such U.S. Holder. However, a U.S. Holder who previously has elected to include market discount in income as it accrued for U.S. federal income tax purposes will not be subject to this rule.
          To the extent that the receipt of New Interests in the Exchange is treated as received pursuant to a tax-free recapitalization, any accrued market discount on the PIK Loan Unsecured Claim may carry over to such class of New Interests and be treated as ordinary income on the disposition of such class of New Interests.
          Each U.S. Holder is urged to consult its independent tax advisor regarding the extent to which, if any, it will recognize market discount as ordinary income upon the Exchange and/or that accrued market discount will carry over to the New Interests.
Tax Consequences Of Holding New Worldwide Shares
          Distributions. Any distribution of cash or other property (including the amount of tax withheld from such distributions, if any) (a “Worldwide Share Distribution”) paid on the New Worldwide Shares (other than Unreleased Worldwide Shares not yet released or issued) out of Worldwide’s current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles, generally will be includible in the gross income of a U.S. Holder as dividend income. Worldwide has not yet determined whether it will determine its earnings and profits on the basis of United States federal income tax principles; U.S. Holders should expect that any Worldwide Share Distribution paid could be reported to them as a “dividend” for United States federal income tax purposes. Dividends received on the New Worldwide Shares will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction allowed to corporations.
          Dividends generally will be treated as income from foreign sources for United States foreign tax credit purposes. A U.S. Holder may be eligible, subject to a number of complex limitations, to claim a foreign tax credit in respect of any foreign withholding taxes imposed on dividends received on New Worldwide Shares. A U.S. Holder who does not elect to claim a foreign tax credit for foreign tax withheld may instead claim a deduction for United States federal income tax purposes in respect of such withholdings but only for a year in which such U.S. Holder elects to do so for all foreign income taxes. The rules with respect to foreign tax credits are complex and U.S. Holders are urged to consult their independent tax advisor regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit under their particular circumstances.
          Disposition Of New Worldwide Shares. When a U.S. Holder sells or otherwise disposes of New Worldwide Shares (which, for purposes of the discussion under this heading, includes rights to receive Unreleased Worldwide Shares) acquired pursuant to the Exchange in a taxable transaction (a “Disposition”), the U.S. Holder generally should recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the amount realized on the Disposition and (ii) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the New Worldwide Shares (likely including any basis allocated to the Unreleased Worldwide Shares being sold or otherwise disposed of as discussed above). To the extent that the receipt of New Worldwide Shares in the Exchange was treated as received pursuant to a tax-free recapitalization for a portion of the PIK Loan

67


 

Unsecured Claim, any accrued market discount on the PIK Loan Unsecured Claim that carried over to the New Worldwide Shares, as discussed above, must be treated as ordinary income on the disposition of the New Worldwide Shares. Otherwise, such gain or loss generally should be capital gain or loss, which would be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the New Worldwide Shares was more than one year as of the date of the Disposition. The deductibility of any capital loss is subject to limitations under the Tax Code.
          Each U.S. Holder of New Worldwide Shares is urged to consult its independent tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of the Disposition of New Worldwide Shares.
Tax Consequences Of Holding The New PIK Loan And The Second Lien OpCo Term Loan Exchange Portion
          Issue Price. The determination of the issue price of the New Loans will depend on whether any of the New Loans are publicly traded and, to the extent not, whether the PIK Loan Unsecured Claim is publicly traded. Each of the Tranche A Extended PIK Loan, the Tranche B Extended PIK Loan, and the Second Lien OpCo Term Loan Exchange Portion will generally be considered to be “publicly traded” if, at any time during the 60-day period ending 30 days after its issue date (which will be the date of the Exchange), (i) it appears on a system of general circulation that provides a reasonable basis to determine the fair market value of such New Loans by disseminating either (x) recent price quotations (including rates, yields, or other pricing information) of one or more identified brokers, dealers or traders or (y) actual prices (including rates, yields, or other pricing information) of recent sales transactions or (ii) price quotations are readily available from dealers, brokers or traders and certain exceptions do not apply. The Company’s financial advisors have informed it that they expect that the New Loans will be publicly traded. Assuming this to be the case, the issue price of each of the Tranche A Extended PIK Loan, the Tranche B Extended PIK Loan, and the Second Lien OpCo Term Loan Exchange Portion will be the fair market value of each such New Loan on its issue date. The rules regarding the determination of issue price are complex and highly detailed, and each U.S. Holder should consult its independent tax advisor regarding the determination of the issue price of the New PIK Loan and the Second Lien OpCo Term Loan Exchange Portion.
          OID. Subject to “Short-Term Obligations” below, if, as expected, the issue price of the Tranche A Extended PIK Loan, the Tranche B Extended PIK Loan and/or the Second Lien OpCo Term Loan Exchange Portion (as described above under “Issue Price”) is less than such loan’s stated redemption price at maturity by at least a specified de minimis amount, the Tranche A Extended PIK Loan, the Tranche B Extended PIK Loan and/or the Second Lien OpCo Term Loan Exchange Portion, as applicable, will be treated as issued with OID in an amount equal to the difference between the issue price of such New Loan and its stated redemption price at maturity. For this purpose, the de minimis amount is 0.25% of the stated redemption price at maturity of each New Loan multiplied by the number of complete years to maturity from the issue date of such New Loan. The term “stated redemption price at maturity” generally means all payments required to be made under a New Loan other than payments of qualified stated interest.
          A U.S. Holder of a New Loan that is issued with OID will be required to include the OID in ordinary income as interest for U.S. federal income tax purposes as it accrues in accordance with a constant yield method based upon a compounding of interest before receiving the cash to which that interest income is attributable. The amount of OID allocable to any “accrual period” generally will be an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the product of the “adjusted issue price” of the New Loan at the beginning of such accrual period and its “yield to maturity” (determined on the basis of compounding at the close of each accrual period and properly adjusted for the length of the accrual period) over (ii) the aggregate of all payments of qualified stated interest allocable to the accrual period. The accrual period for a New Loan may be of any length and may vary in length over the term of the New Loan, provided that each accrual period cannot exceed one year and each scheduled payment of principal or interest must occur on the first day or the final day of an accrual period. The “yield to maturity” of a New Loan will be the discount rate that causes the present value of all payments on such class of New Interests as of its original issue date to equal the issue price of such class of New Interests. The “adjusted issue price” of a New Loan at the beginning of any accrual period will equal its issue price increased by the accrued OID for each prior accrual period (determined without regard to the amortization of any acquisition premium, as discussed below under “Acquisition Premium Or Amortizable Bond Premium On New Loans”), minus any payments made other than payments of qualified stated interest. Under these rules, a U.S. Holder generally will be required to include in income increasingly greater amounts of OID in successive accrual periods.

68


 

          A U.S. Holder may elect to treat all interest on a New Loan as OID and calculate the amount includible in gross income under the constant yield method. Such an election must be made for the taxable year in which the U.S. Holder acquires the New Loan, and may not be revoked without the consent of the IRS. Each U.S. Holder should consult its independent tax advisor about this election. The remainder of this discussion assumes this election is not made.
          Short-Term Obligations. If the term to maturity of the Tranche A Extended PIK Loan is not greater than one year, a U.S. Holder that uses the cash method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally will not be required to accrue OID on the Tranche A Extended PIK Loan that it holds unless it elects to do so. Absent such election, (i) any gain that such U.S. Holder recognizes on the sale, exchange or maturity of the Tranche A Extended PIK Loan will be ordinary income to the extent of the OID, accrued on a straight-line basis (or, upon election, under the constant-yield method (based on daily compounding)), through the date of sale or maturity; and (ii) a portion of the deductions otherwise allowable to such U.S. Holder for interest on borrowings allocable to the Tranche A Extended PIK Loan will be deferred until a corresponding amount of income is realized. U.S. Holders that use the accrual method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes and certain other U.S. Holders will be required to accrue OID currently as described in “OID” above.
          Acquisition Premium Or Amortizable Bond Premium On New Loans. If a U.S. Holder’s initial tax basis in a New Loan is greater than such instrument’s issue price and less than or equal to its stated redemption price at maturity, such New Loan will be considered to have been issued to such U.S. Holder at an “acquisition premium.” Under the acquisition premium rules, the amount of OID that a U.S. Holder must include in gross income with respect to the New Loan for any taxable year may be reduced by the portion of the acquisition premium properly allocable to that year.
          If a U.S. Holder’s initial tax basis in the New Loan is greater than its stated redemption price at maturity, a U.S. Holder will be considered to have acquired such New Loan with “amortizable bond premium” and a U.S. Holder will not be required to include any OID in income. A U.S. Holder generally may elect to amortize the premium over the remaining term of the New PIK Loan or the Second Lien OpCo Term Loan Exchange Portion, as applicable, on a constant yield method as an offset to interest when includible in income under a U.S. Holder’s regular accounting method. An election to amortize premium on a constant yield method will also apply to all other taxable debt instruments held or subsequently acquired by a U.S. Holder on or after the first day of the first taxable year for which the election is made. Such an election may not be revoked without the consent of the IRS. If a U.S. Holder does not elect to amortize the premium, that premium will decrease the gain or increase the loss a U.S. Holder would otherwise recognize on disposition of the New PIK Loan or the Second Lien OpCo Term Loan Exchange Portion, as applicable. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisor about this election.
          Sale Or Other Disposition Of The New PIK Loan Or The Second Lien OpCo Term Loan Exchange Portion. When a U.S. Holder sells or otherwise disposes of a New Loan acquired pursuant to the Exchange in a Disposition, the U.S. Holder generally should recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the amount realized on the Disposition and (ii) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the New Loan. Disposition will generally include a retirement or redemption of a New Loan. A U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in a New Loan generally will equal the initial tax basis of such New Loan, increased by OID or market discount previously included in income, and decreased by any amortized bond premium and any cash payment previously made on the New Loan other than payments of qualified stated interest. Subject to the treatment of a portion of any gain as ordinary income to the extent of any market discount accrued on the New Loan, such gain or loss will be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder held the New Loan, for more than one year as of the date of the Disposition. The deductibility of any capital loss is subject to limitations under the Tax Code.
          Each U.S. Holder of a New Loan is urged to consult its independent tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of a Disposition of a New Loan.
U.S. Foreign Tax Credit Considerations Upon A Disposition Of New Interests
          Gain or loss, if any, that a U.S. Holder realizes upon a Disposition of New Interests generally will be treated as income from U.S. sources for United States foreign tax credit limitation purposes. Consequently, a U.S.

69


 

Holder may not be able to use any foreign tax credits arising from any foreign withholding tax imposed on the Disposition of New Interests unless such credit can be applied (subject to applicable limitations) against tax due on other income treated as derived from foreign sources. The rules with respect to foreign tax credits are complex and U.S. Holders are urged to consult their independent tax advisor regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit under their particular circumstances.
Medicare Contribution Tax On Unearned Income
          For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2012, a U.S. Holder that is an individual or estate, or a trust that does not fall into a special class of trusts that is exempt from such tax, will be subject to a 3.8% tax on the lesser of (1) the U.S. Holder’s “net investment income” for the relevant taxable year and (2) the excess of the U.S. Holder’s modified adjusted gross income for the taxable year over a certain threshold (which in the case of individuals will be between $125,000 and $250,000, depending on the individual’s circumstances). A U.S. Holder’s net investment income will generally include dividend and interest payments, accruals of OID and net gains realized from the disposition of the New Interests, unless such dividend or interest income, OID accrual or net gains are derived in the ordinary course of the conduct of a trade or business (other than a trade or business that consists of certain passive or trading activities). U.S. Holders that are individuals, estates or trusts, are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the applicability of the Medicare contribution tax to their income and gains in respect of their investment in the New Interests.
Backup Withholding And Information Reporting With Respect To U.S. Holders
          Certain payments are generally subject to information reporting to the IRS. Moreover, such reportable payments may be subject to backup withholding unless the taxpayer: (i) comes within certain exempt categories or (ii) provides a correct taxpayer identification number and certifies under penalty of perjury that its taxpayer identification number is correct and that the taxpayer is not subject to backup withholding because of a failure to report all dividend and interest income.
          Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be credited against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, and such U.S. Holder may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS.
          Recently enacted legislation will require, after December 31, 2013, withholding at a rate of 30 percent on interest on and dividends in respect of, and after December 31, 2014, withholding at a rate of 30 percent on gross proceeds from the sale of, the New Interests held by or through certain foreign financial institutions (including investment funds), unless such institution enters into an agreement with the Secretary of the Treasury to report, on an annual basis, information with respect to shares in the institution held by certain United States persons and by certain non-U.S. entities that are wholly or partially owned by United States persons. Accordingly, the entity through which the New Interests are held will affect the determination of whether such withholding is required. Similarly, interest on, dividends in respect of, and gross proceeds from the sale of, the New Interests held by an investor that is a non-financial non-U.S. entity will be subject to withholding at a rate of 30 percent, unless such entity either (i) certifies to Travelport that such entity does not have any “substantial United States owners” or (ii) provides certain information regarding the entity’s “substantial United States owners,” which Travelport will in turn provide to the Secretary of the Treasury. U.S. Holders are encouraged to consult their independent tax advisor regarding the possible implications of the legislation to the Exchange.
Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences Of The Exchange To Non-U.S. Holders
          As noted above, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, Worldwide is expected to be treated as, prior to the Exchange, the issuer of the PIK Loan Unsecured Claims and, in connection with the Exchange, the transferor of the PIK Loan Cash Distribution and the issuer of the New Interests. This is because each of the Company, Travelport Limited, certain indirect subsidiaries of Travelport Limited and Travelport LLC is treated as an entity that is not regarded as separate from (i.e., is treated as a division of) Worldwide. Worldwide is not currently engaged, directly or indirectly through its subsidiaries that are not treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in a trade or business within the United States, and the discussion that follows assumes that

70


 

Travelport LLC will continue to be a division of Worldwide for U.S. federal income tax purposes and that Worldwide will not at any time be engaged, directly or indirectly through its subsidiaries that are not treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in a trade or business within the United States. A Non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax as a result of the Exchange or on any interest paid or OID accrued on the New Loans, distributions of cash or other property on the New Worldwide Shares or gain realized as a result of a disposition of a New Interest.
X. CONFIRMATION AND SANCTION OF THE PLAN
A. Feasibility Of The Plan
          The Bankruptcy Code requires that the Bankruptcy Court determine that confirmation of a plan is not likely to be followed by liquidation or the need for further financial reorganization of a debtor. For purposes of showing that the Plan meets this “feasibility” standard, the Debtor has analyzed the ability of the Reorganized Debtor to meet its obligations under the Plan and retain sufficient liquidity and capital resources to continue as a going concern.
          To support its belief in the feasibility of the Plan, the Debtor has relied upon the Financial Projections set forth as Appendix C. The Financial Projections show that the Reorganized Debtor should have sufficient Cash to make payments required under the Plan. Accordingly, the Debtor believes the Plan is feasible and meets the requirements of section 1129(a)(11) of the Bankruptcy Code.
THE FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS ARE BY THEIR NATURE FORWARD LOOKING, AND ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THE INFORMATION SET FORTH THEREIN. THE COMPANY DOES NOT, AS A MATTER OF COURSE, PUBLICLY DISCLOSE PROJECTIONS AS TO THE COMPANY’S FUTURE REVENUES, EARNINGS OR CASH FLOWS. THE PROJECTIONS SET FORTH HEREIN WERE PREPARED BY THE COMPANY AND ARE THE COMPANY’S RESPONSIBILITY AND WERE NOT PREPARED TO CONFORM WITH PUBLISHED GUIDELINES OF THE SEC, ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION OR THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS REGARDING PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION OF PROSPECTIVE FINANCIAL INFORMATION. THE PROJECTIONS ARE PREPARED TO CONFORM WITH REQUIREMENTS FOR SUCH INFORMATION IN BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDINGS. IN THE VIEW OF THE COMPANY’S MANAGEMENT, THE PROJECTIONS WERE PREPARED ON A REASONABLE BASIS, REFLECT THE BEST CURRENTLY AVAILABLE ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS, AND PRESENT, TO THE BEST OF MANAGEMENT’S KNOWLEDGE AND BELIEF, THE EXPECTED COURSE OF ACTION AND THE EXPECTED FUTURE FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OF THE COMPANY. HOWEVER, THIS INFORMATION IS NOT FACT AND SHOULD NOT BE RELIED UPON AS BEING NECESSARILY INDICATIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS, AND READERS OF THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT ARE CAUTIONED NOT TO PLACE UNDUE RELIANCE ON THE PROSPECTIVE FINANCIAL INFORMATION.
NO INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT HAS COMPILED, EXAMINED OR PERFORMED ANY PROCEDURES WITH RESPECT TO THE PROJECTIONS, EXPRESSED ANY OPINION OR ANY OTHER FORM OF ASSURANCE WITH RESPECT THERETO OR THEIR ACHIEVABILITY, OR ASSUMED ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROJECTIONS.
THE PROJECTIONS REFLECT NUMEROUS ASSUMPTIONS, ALL MADE BY MANAGEMENT OF THE DEBTOR, WITH RESPECT TO INDUSTRY PERFORMANCE, GENERAL BUSINESS, ECONOMIC, MARKET AND FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND OTHER MATTERS, ALL OF WHICH ARE DIFFICULT TO PREDICT AND MANY OF WHICH ARE BEYOND THE DEBTOR’S CONTROL. THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT THE ASSUMPTIONS MADE IN PREPARING THE PROJECTIONS SET FORTH BELOW WILL PROVE ACCURATE, AND ACTUAL RESULTS MAY BE MATERIALLY GREATER OR LESS IN MANY RESPECTS THAN THOSE CONTAINED IN THE PROJECTIONS SET FORTH BELOW.

71


 

THE INCLUSION OF THE PROJECTIONS IN THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT SHOULD NOT BE REGARDED AS AN INDICATION THAT THE DEBTOR, OR ANY OF ITS REPRESENTATIVES OR ADVISORS OR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS, CONSIDER SUCH INFORMATION TO BE AN ACCURATE PREDICTION OF FUTURE EVENTS OR NECESSARILY ACHIEVABLE. IN LIGHT OF THE UNCERTAINTIES INHERENT IN FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION OF ANY KIND, THE COMPANY CAUTIONS AGAINST RELIANCE ON SUCH INFORMATION. THE COMPANY DOES NOT INTEND TO UPDATE OR REVISE THE PROJECTIONS TO REFLECT CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING AFTER THE DATE WHEN PREPARED OR TO REFLECT THE OCCURRENCE OF FUTURE EVENTS, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY LAW. SEE SECTION VI – “RISK FACTORS TO BE CONSIDERED” HEREIN.
          Holders of Claims against and Interests in the Debtor are advised that the Financial Projections were not prepared with a view toward compliance with the published guidelines of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants or any other regulatory or professional agency or body or generally accepted accounting principles. Furthermore, the Debtor’s independent certified public accountants have not compiled or examined the Financial Projections and accordingly do not express any opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto and assume no responsibility for the Financial Projections.
          In addition to the assumptions contained in the Financial Projections themselves, the Financial Projections also assume that (i) the Plan would be confirmed and consummated in accordance with its terms, (ii) there would be no material change in legislation or regulations, or the administration thereof, that will have an unexpected effect on the operations of the Reorganized Debtor, and (iii) there would be no material contingent or unliquidated litigation or indemnity claims applicable to the Reorganized Debtor. Although considered reasonable by the Debtor as of the date hereof, unanticipated events and circumstances occurring after the preparation of the Financial Projections may affect actual recoveries under the Plan.
          The Debtor does not intend to update or otherwise revise the Financial Projections, including any revisions to reflect events or circumstances existing or arising after the date of this Disclosure Statement or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, even if any or all of the underlying assumptions do not come to fruition. Furthermore, the Debtor does not intend to update or revise the Financial Projections to reflect changes in general economic or industry conditions.
B. Acceptance Of The Plan
          As a condition to Confirmation, the Bankruptcy Code requires that any Class of Impaired Claims and Interests vote to accept the Plan, except under certain circumstances.
          Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code defines acceptance of a plan by a class of impaired claims as acceptance by holders of at least two-thirds (2/3) in dollar amount and more than one-half (1/2) in number of claims in that class, but for that purpose only those who actually vote to accept or reject the plan are counted. Thus, Class 2 will have voted to accept the Plan only if at least two-thirds (2/3) in amount and a majority in number actually voting cast their Ballots in favor of acceptance. Under section 1126(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, a class of interests has accepted the plan if holders of such interests holding at least-two thirds (2/3) in amount actually voting have voted to accept the plan. Thus, Class 5 will have voted to accept the Plan only if the sole member of the Class casts its Ballot in favor of acceptance.
          Holders of claims or interests who fail to vote are not counted as either accepting or rejecting a plan.

72


 

C. Best Interests Test
          With respect to each Impaired Class of Claims and Interests, Confirmation of the Plan requires that each Holder of a Claim or Interest either (i) accept the Plan or (ii) receive or retain under the Plan property of a value, as of the Effective Date, that is not less than the value such Holder would receive or retain if the Debtor was liquidated under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. The foregoing confirmation requirement imposed by section 1129(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code is known as the “best interest of creditors” test. To calculate the probable distribution to Holders of each Impaired Class of Claims and Interests if the Debtor was liquidated under chapter 7, a bankruptcy court must first determine the aggregate dollar amount that would be generated from the Debtor’s assets if its Chapter 11 Case was converted to a chapter 7 case under the Bankruptcy Code. This “liquidation value” would consist primarily of the proceeds from a forced sale of the Debtor’s assets by a chapter 7 trustee.
          The amount of liquidation value available to creditors and equity holders would be reduced by the costs and expenses of liquidation, as well as by other administrative expenses and costs of both the chapter 7 case and the Chapter 11 Case. Costs of liquidation under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code would include the compensation of a trustee, as well as of counsel and other professionals retained by the trustee, asset disposition expenses, all unpaid expenses incurred by the Debtor in its Chapter 11 Case (such as compensation of attorneys, financial advisors and accountants) that are allowed in the chapter 7 case, litigation costs, and claims arising from the business of the Debtor during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Case. The liquidation itself would trigger certain priority Claims that otherwise would be due in the ordinary course of business. Those priority Claims would be paid in full from the liquidation proceeds before the balance would be made available to pay unsecured Claims or to make any distribution in respect of Interests. The liquidation would also prompt the rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases and thereby create a higher number of unsecured creditors.
          The Debtor believes that the Plan meets the “best interests of creditors” test of section 1129(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code and that the members of each Impaired Class would receive greater value under the Plan than they would in a liquidation. A copy of the detailed Liquidation Analysis is attached hereto as Appendix D. Although the Debtor believes that the Plan meets the “best interests test” of section 1129(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code, there can be no assurance that the Bankruptcy Court will determine that the Plan meets this test. THE ESTIMATES OF VALUE SET FORTH HEREIN ARE SUBJECT TO A NUMBER OF ASSUMPTIONS AND SIGNIFICANT QUALIFYING CONDITIONS. ACTUAL VALUES AND RECOVERIES COULD VARY MATERIALLY FROM THE ESTIMATES SET FORTH HEREIN. See Section X.D – Valuation Analysis.
D. Valuation Analysis
          THIS VALUATION ANALYSIS IS PRESENTED SOLELY FOR THE PURPOSE OF PROVIDING “ADEQUATE INFORMATION” UNDER SECTION 1125 OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE TO ENABLE THE HOLDERS OF CLAIMS AND INTERESTS ENTITLED TO VOTE ON THE PLAN TO MAKE AN INFORMED JUDGMENT ABOUT THE PLAN AND SHOULD NOT BE USED OR RELIED UPON FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSE, INCLUDING THE PURCHASE OR SALE OF SECURITIES OF, OR CLAIMS OR EQUITY INTERESTS IN, THE DEBTOR OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES.
          1. Overview
          The Company has been advised by Blackstone Advisory Partners L.P. (“Blackstone Advisory”) with respect to the valuation of Travelport Holdings Limited in connection with the Plan. Blackstone Advisory has prepared a valuation analysis (the “Valuation”) of Travelport Holdings Limited for the purpose of estimating value available for distribution to Holders of Allowed Claims and Interests (together, the “Creditors”) pursuant to the Plan and to analyze the relative recoveries to Creditors thereunder. The Valuation has also been undertaken for the

73


 

purpose of evaluating whether the Plan meets the so-called “best interests test” under section 1129(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code.
          This Valuation should be read in conjunction with the Plan and the Disclosure Statement.
          Based on the Financial Projections, which are attached to the Disclosure Statement as Appendix C, the enterprise value (the “Enterprise Value”) of Travelport Holdings Limited is estimated to range from approximately $3.9 billion to $4.5 billion. This valuation range assumes an Effective Date of September 30, 2011 and reflects the going concern value of Travelport Holdings Limited after giving effect to the implementation of the PIK Loan Restructuring.
          The Valuation incorporates numerous qualifications and contingencies, including but not limited to: (i) the ability of Travelport Holdings Limited to achieve all aspects of the Financial Projections, (ii) the state of the capital and credit markets as of the Effective Date; (iii) the ability of Travelport to maintain its current tax structure and (iv) no material adverse change to the industry or in the operations of Travelport due to economic slowdowns or competitive pressures, as well as other unexpected events not forecasted by the Company.
          In preparing this Valuation, Blackstone Advisory (i) reviewed certain internal financial and operating data of Travelport, including projections provided by management relating to Travelport’s businesses and prospects; (ii) met with members of senior management of the Company to discuss Travelport’s operations, capital structure considerations, and future prospects; (iii) reviewed publicly available financial data and considered the market value of public companies that Blackstone Advisory deemed generally comparable to the operating businesses of Travelport; (iv) reviewed publicly available financial data and data provided by the Company on acquisitions of companies that Blackstone Advisory deemed generally comparable to the operating businesses of Travelport; (v) considered certain economic and industry information relevant to Travelport’s operating businesses; and (vi) conducted such other studies, analyses, inquiries and investigations as Blackstone Advisory deemed appropriate.
          2. Valuation Methodology
          The following is a brief summary of the financial analyses performed by Blackstone Advisory to arrive at the Valuation. Blackstone Advisory primarily relied on two valuation methodologies: comparable public company analysis and discounted cash flow analysis. Blackstone Advisory’s estimated valuation must be considered as a whole and selecting just one methodology or portions of the analysis, without considering the analysis as a whole, could create a misleading or incomplete conclusion.
               (a) Comparable Public Company Analysis
          A comparable public company analysis was prepared in order to assess the value of Travelport’s operating businesses. The comparable public company analysis examines the value of comparable companies as a multiple of their key operating statistics and then applies a range of multiples to 2011 Adjusted EBITDA and 2012 Adjusted EBITDA of Travelport Holdings Limited, with additional adjustments made for the loss of the United Airlines IT services contract, expected restructuring costs and certain tax characteristics.
          A key factor to the comparable public company analysis is the selection of companies with relatively similar business and operational characteristics to Travelport. Criteria for selecting comparable companies include, among other relevant characteristics, lines of business, methods of product and service

74


 

distribution, key business drivers, business risks, growth prospects, market presence, size and scale of operations. The selection of truly comparable companies is often difficult and subject to interpretation.
          In performing the comparable public company analysis, the publicly traded companies deemed generally comparable to one or more of the companies’ operating segments include: Travelport’s most similar public competitor Amadeus IT Holding SA, a wide range of business process outsourcing companies and a set of online travel agencies. Blackstone Advisory deemed multiples of 2011 Adjusted EBITDA and 2012 Adjusted EBITDA most relevant for analyzing the peer group and more heavily weighted Amadeus’s valuation multiples, as its businesses and industry dynamics most closely resembled those of Travelport.
               (b) Comparable Transaction Analysis
          The comparable transaction analysis examines the purchase price in comparable acquisitions as a multiple of their key operating statistics and then applies a range of multiples to LTM, 2011 Adjusted EBITDA and 2012 Adjusted EBITDA of Travelport Holdings Limited, with additional adjustments made for the loss of the United Airlines IT services contract, expected restructuring costs and certain tax characteristics.
          The same factors were used in selecting comparable acquisitions as in the comparable public company analysis. Again, the selection of truly comparable companies is often difficult and subject to interpretation. In addition, specific aspects relating to each particular transaction, such as the seller’s goals and financial position, the acquiror’s plan for the business and the negotiating dynamic at the time of the transaction, could impact the relevance of the valuation multiple to the Debtor’s valuation.
          In performing the comparable transaction analysis, transactions deemed generally comparable to one or more of Travelport’s operating segments include: Silverlake and TPG Capital’s acquisition of Sabre Holdings Corporation, Travelport Limited’s acquisition of Worldspan Technologies Inc. and Blackstone and Technology Crossover Ventures’ acquisition of Travelport Limited.
               (c) Discounted Cash Flow Analysis
          The discounted cash flow analysis relates the value of an asset or business to the present value of expected future cash flows generated by that asset or business. The discounted cash flow analysis discounts the expected future cash flows by a theoretical or observed discount rate, in this case determined by estimating the cost of equity for the subject company based upon analysis of similar publicly traded companies and a cost of debt based on the yield of Travelport’s debt obligations. This approach has two components: (i) calculating the present value of the projected un-levered after-tax free cash flows for a determined period and (ii) adding the present value of the terminal value of cash flows. The terminal value represents the portion of enterprise value that lies beyond the time horizon of the available projections. There are two methodologies to determine the terminal value: (i) assuming a perpetuity growth rate for the cash flows beyond the projection period or (ii) applying a terminal EBITDA multiple to the final period EBITDA.
          In performing the discounted cash flow analysis, Blackstone Advisory made assumptions for (i) the weighted average cost of capital (the “Discount Rate”), which is used to calculate the present value of future cash flows; (ii) the perpetuity growth rate, which is used to determine the terminal value of the Company; and (iii) the terminal EBITDA multiple, which can also be used to determine the terminal value of the Company. Blackstone Advisory used a range of Discount Rates from 12% to 14% for Travelport Holdings Limited, which reflects a number of company and market-specific factors, and is calculated based on the cost of capital for companies that Blackstone Advisory deemed comparable.

75


 

          For the purposes of the Valuation, Blackstone Advisory assumed no potential benefits from the use of net operating losses and the geographic distribution of the Company’s earnings in calculating the un-levered after-tax free cash flows of Travelport Holdings Limited, but assumed that Travelport Holdings Limited will pay cash taxes at a rate of 35% on pre-tax operating profits. The additional value derived from Travelport’s actual and projected tax position was subsequently added to the valuation.
          3. Recoveries
          Based on the Valuation range of $3.9 billion to $4.5 billion, there is equity value in the Company and the Holders of Allowed PIK Loan Unsecured Claims are repaid in full.
          The projected recoveries are substantially based on the assumptions in the business plans underlying the Financial Projections. The actual recoveries may be different than projected recoveries based upon, among other things: (i) the market price of shares of Travelport Worldwide Limited and (ii) the dilutive or accretive effects of issuance of shares of Travelport Worldwide Limited by Travelport Worldwide Limited from time to time. There is currently no public market for the securities to be issued under the PIK Loan Restructuring, and an active trading market may not develop for such securities. The failure of a market to develop for the securities could affect the liquidity and value of such securities, which could ultimately affect the total recovery for parties receiving such securities.
          Beyond the results demonstrated by the valuation that was prepared, it is clear that the best interests test is met simply based on the structure of the reorganization. In return for their holding company unsecured obligations, the Holders of Allowed PIK Loan Unsecured Claims are receiving the same principal amount of debt, only with approximately 60% of the debt improved to a secured position at the operating company, guaranteed by a subsidiary whose sole asset is secured debt from the operating company or repaid with cash, and the addition of an equity stake in the Company’s parent. It would take a highly unique and specific set of circumstances for the Holders of these Claims to receive less value from the PIK Loan Restructuring than from a liquidation.
XI. ALTERNATIVES TO CONFIRMATION AND CONSUMMATION OF THE PLAN
          The Debtor believes that the Plan enables creditors and equity holders to realize the greatest possible value under the circumstances and that the Plan has the greatest chance to be confirmed and consummated. If the requisite acceptances are not received or if the Plan is not confirmed, the Debtor could attempt to formulate and propose a different plan or plans of reorganization. Such a plan or plans might involve either a reorganization and continuation of the Debtor’s business or an orderly liquidation of the Debtor’s assets.
          Further, although the Debtor could theoretically solicit votes with respect to an alternative plan if the requisite acceptances are not received, or the Plan is not confirmed and consummated, a possible result would be the conversion of the Chapter 11 Case to a case under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. As set forth above, in a chapter 7 liquidation, a trustee is elected or appointed to liquidate the debtor’s assets for distribution to creditors in accordance with the priorities established by the Bankruptcy Code. This, in turn, would result in additional legal and other expenses. It is impossible to predict precisely how the proceeds of a chapter 7 liquidation would be distributed to the Holders of Claims against or Interests in the Debtor. The Debtor believes that in a liquidation, before creditors and equity holders received any distribution, additional administrative expenses involved in the appointment of a trustee or trustees and attorneys, accountants, and other professionals to assist such trustee(s) would cause a substantial diminution in the value of the Estate of the Debtor. Additionally, the Debtor believes that conversion from chapter 11 to chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code would result in (i) significant delay in distributions to all creditors who would have received a distribution under the Plan and (ii) diminished recoveries for Holders of

76


 

Impaired Claims and Interests under the Plan. Accordingly, the Debtor believes the Plan is the best option for Holders of Claims and Interests because of the greater return that is anticipated to be provided by the Plan.
XII. THE SOLICITATION
A. Parties-In-Interest Entitled To Vote
          Under section 1124 of the Bankruptcy Code, a class of claims or interests is deemed to be “impaired” under a plan unless (i) the plan leaves unaltered the legal, equitable, and contractual rights to which such claim or interest entitles the holder thereof or (ii) notwithstanding any legal right to an accelerated payment of such claim or interest, the plan cures all existing defaults (other than the defaults set forth in section 365(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code) and reinstates the maturity of such claim or interest as it existed before the default.
          In general, a holder of a claim or interest may vote to accept or reject a plan if (i) the claim or interest is “allowed,” which means generally that no party-in-interest has objected to such claim or interest and (ii) the claim or interest is impaired by the plan. If, however, the holder of an impaired claim or interest will not receive or retain any distribution under the plan on account of such claim or interest, the Bankruptcy Code deems such holder to have rejected the plan, and, accordingly, holders of such claims and interests do not actually vote on the plan. If a claim or interest is not impaired by the plan, the Bankruptcy Code deems the holder of such claim or interest to have accepted the plan and, accordingly, holders of such claims and interests are not entitled to vote on the plan.
B. Classes Impaired Under The Plan
          Classes 2 and 5 are entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan. By operation of law, each Unimpaired Class of Claims (Classes 1, 3 and 4) is deemed to have accepted the Plan and, therefore, is not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan.
C. Revocation; Waivers Of Defects; Irregularities
          Unless otherwise directed by the Bankruptcy Court (i) all questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt), acceptance, and revocation, or withdrawal of Ballots will be determined by the Voting Agent and the Debtor in their sole discretion, which determination will be final and binding and (ii) if multiple Ballots are received from the same Holder with respect to the same Allowed Claim or Interest prior to the Voting Deadline, the last Ballot timely received will be deemed to reflect that voter’s intent and will supersede and revoke any prior Ballot. Holders must vote all of their Allowed Impaired Claims or Interests within a particular Class either to accept or reject the Plan and may not split their vote. Accordingly, a Ballot that partially rejects and partially accepts the Plan will not be counted. The Debtor also reserves the right to reject any and all Ballots not in proper form, the acceptance of which would, in the opinion of the Debtor or its counsel, be unlawful. The Debtor further reserves the right to waive any defects or irregularities or conditions of delivery as to any particular Ballot. The interpretation (including the Ballot and the respective instructions thereto) by the Debtor, unless otherwise directed by the Bankruptcy Court, will be final and binding on all parties. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with deliveries of Ballots must be cured within such time as the Debtor (or the Bankruptcy Court) determines. Neither the Debtor nor any other person will be under any duty to provide notification of defects or irregularities with respect to deliveries of Ballots nor will any of them incur any liabilities for failure to provide such notification. Unless otherwise directed by the Bankruptcy Court, delivery of such Ballots

77


 

will not be deemed to have been made until such irregularities have been cured or waived. Ballots previously furnished (and as to which any irregularities have not theretofore been cured or waived) will be invalidated.
D. Further Information; Additional Copies
          If you have any questions or require further information about the voting procedure for voting your Claim or Interest or about the packet of material you received, or if you wish to obtain an additional copy of the Plan, this Disclosure Statement, or any exhibits, appendices or schedules to such documents, please contact the Voting Agent:

Attn: John Franks

XIII. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
          The Company believes that confirmation and implementation of the Plan is preferable to any of the alternatives described above because it will result in the greatest recoveries to the Holders of Claims and Interests. Other alternatives would involve significant delay, uncertainty, substantial additional administrative costs, and/or a lower recovery to the Holders of Impaired Claims and Interests.
          Consequently, the Company urges all Holders of Impaired Claims and Interests under the Plan to vote to accept the Plan and to evidence their acceptance by duly completing and returning their Ballots so that they will be actually received on or before the 5:00 p.m., Prevailing Eastern Time, on September 27, 2011 by the Voting Agent.

The reinstatement of Equity Interests by the Reorganized Debtor and the Common Stock Issuance, the Additional Share Distribution and the shares issued pursuant to the Management Incentive Plan are authorized without the need for any further corporate action (other than standard Worldwide corporate governance approval) or further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court or any other entity except for those expressly required pursuant to this Plan; provided, however that the Common Stock Issuance is subject to BMA Approval as described herein.

          5.6 Liquidity Event. As is also described in the Equity Escrow Agreement, upon the occurrence of a Liquidity Event, the Equity Escrow Agent will cease the Post-Effective Date Common Stock Distribution, and any shares of Worldwide still held by the Equity Escrow Agent thereafter shall be repurchased by Travelport NewCo for no additional consideration, and all dividends, distributions and other consideration received in respect of such shares shall be returned to Travelport NewCo; provided, however, in the event a Subject IPO or a Subject Transaction is not consummated as set forth in this Section 5.6, the Equity Escrow Agent shall resume the Post-Effective Date Common Stock Distribution in accordance with the Post-Effective Date Common Stock Distribution Schedule.
    In the event a Subject IPO is not closed within three months from the announcement date of the Subject IPO, resulting in the Amended and Restated PIK Loan Credit Agreement being paid in full in Cash during that time period, then the Post-Effective Date Common Stock Distribution will continue in accordance with the Post-Effective Date Common Stock Distribution Schedule, and the release of shares of Worldwide by the Equity Escrow Agent contemplated herein shall be made as if no announcement had been made, subject to an automatic one-time three month extension to close the Subject

22


 

      IPO for SEC approval or other applicable securities regulatory approval if the necessary approval is actively being sought using commercially reasonable best efforts but no decision has yet been made by the SEC or other applicable securities regulatory agency to approve.
 
    In the event a Subject Transaction is announced (i) prior to March 31, 2012 but is not closed (resulting in the Amended and Restated PIK Loan Credit Agreement being paid in full in Cash during that time period) prior to October 31, 2012, or (ii) after March 31, 2012 but is not closed (resulting in the Amended and Restated PIK Loan Credit Agreement being paid in full in Cash during that time period) prior to six months following the announcement of the Subject Transaction, then the Post-Effective Date Common Stock Distribution will continue in accordance with the Post-Effective Date Common Stock Distribution Schedule, and the release of shares by the Equity Escrow Agent contemplated herein shall be made as if no announcement had been made; provided, however, that these closing deadlines are subject to an automatic one-time three-month extension if necessary regulatory approval of the sale, amalgamation or merger is actively being sought using commercially reasonable best efforts but no decision has yet been made by the regulatory agency to approve or block the Subject Transaction; provided further, however, in no case, may the time period between announcement and closing with respect to clause (i) above exceed 365 days and with respect to clause (ii) above exceed 270 days, before the Post-Effective Date Common Stock Distribution will continue in accordance with the Post-Effective Date Common Stock Distribution Schedule, and the release of shares by the Equity Escrow Agent contemplated herein shall be made as if no announcement had been made; provided further, however, that in any event, if and when any Subject Transaction is consummated the Post-Effective Date Common Stock Distribution will stop.
          5.7 Section 1145 And Other Exemptions. Pursuant to section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code, the offering, issuance and distribution of any securities contemplated by this Plan and any and all settlement agreements incorporated herein, including shares issued in the Common Stock Issuance, the Post-Effective Date Common Stock Distribution, the Additional Share Distribution and pursuant to the Management Incentive Plan shall be exempt from, among other things, the registration requirements of section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933 (as now in effect or hereafter amended) and any other applicable law requiring registration prior to the offering, issuance, distribution or sale of securities.
          5.8 Additional Share Distribution. Pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof, the Disbursing Agent shall make a Pro Rata distribution of the Additional Shares to the Holders of PIK Loan Unsecured Claims in accordance with Section 3.3 hereof (the “Additional Share Distribution”); provided that the total amount of the Additional Shares issued shall be reduced to the extent necessary, in the reasonable opinion of tax counsel, in order to prevent an “ownership change” within the meaning of section 382(g) of the IRC, with respect to Worldwide, prior to the consummation of a sale, merger,

23


 

amalgamation or IPO transaction (an “Ownership Change”). To the extent the full amount of the Additional Shares is not issued pursuant to the preceding sentence, (i) the Holders of PIK Loan Unsecured Claims will be issued such shares that have not yet been issued or receive an amount of Cash equal to the fair market value of such shares upon the earlier of the first date on which such shares can be issued without causing an Ownership Change or the consummation of a sale, merger, amalgamation or IPO transaction, respectively, unless, solely in the case of the issuance of the Additional Shares (and not in the case of payment of Cash), in the reasonable opinion of tax counsel, it would cause an Ownership Change; and (ii) until such time as all of the Additional Shares are issued or payment in Cash with respect to such shares is made, in each case pursuant to clause (i) above, Worldwide shall use its best reasonable efforts to prevent any “owner shift” or “equity structure shift” within the meaning of section 382(g) of the IRC with respect to Worldwide. In the event that the Majority Shareholder takes any action, directly or indirectly, to cause an Ownership Change, the Additional Shares will be promptly issued as described above.
          5.9 Treatment Of The Second Lien OpCo Term Loan, The Tranche A Extended PIK Loan And The Tranche B Extended PIK Loan. The Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor and Worldwide shall, and by accepting distributions pursuant to this Plan each Holder of an Allowed PIK Loan Unsecured Claim receiving distributions pursuant to this Plan shall be deemed to have agreed to, (i) treat each of the Tranche A Extended PIK Loan, the Tranche B Extended PIK Loan and the Second Lien OpCo Term Loan as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes and (ii) not take any position on any U.S. federal, state or local income or franchise tax return or take any other reporting position that is inconsistent with the treatment of the Tranche A Extended PIK Loan, the Tranche B Extended PIK Loan and the Second Lien OpCo Term Loan as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
          5.10 Treatment Of The Post-Effective Date Common Stock Distribution And The Additional Share Distribution. If a portion (the “Imputed Interest Potion”) of any Post-Effective Date Common Stock Distribution or Additional Share Distribution (collectively, the “Unreleased Worldwide Stock Distributions”) is recharacterized as imputed interest under the IRC pursuant to section 483 thereof or otherwise, the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor and Worldwide shall, and by accepting distributions pursuant to this Plan each Holder of an Allowed PIK Loan Unsecured Claim receiving distributions pursuant to this Plan shall be deemed to have agreed to, (i) for all U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes, treat the Imputed Interest Portion as paid first in the form of any Cash or property other than shares of Worldwide that are part of such Unreleased Worldwide Stock Distribution, and thereafter, to the extent necessary, a portion of the shares of Worldwide distributed in such Unreleased Worldwide Stock Distribution (such portion, the “Imputed Interest Shares”); (ii) treat any Imputed Interest Shares as separate shares (and not as a portion of each Worldwide share that is part of such Unreleased Worldwide Stock Distribution); and (iii) not take any position on any U.S. federal, state or local income or franchise tax return or take any other reporting position that is inconsistent with the treatment of the Imputed Interest Portion and the Imputed Interest Shares as provided in this Section 5.10.

24


 

          5.11 Management Incentive Plan. The post-Effective Date Management Incentive Plan shall be implemented by the New Board of Worldwide subject to the terms of the Restructuring Support Agreement.
          5.12 Corporate Action. Each of the matters provided for under this Plan involving the corporate structure of the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor or any corporate action to be taken by or required of the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor shall be deemed to have occurred and be effective as provided herein, and shall be authorized, approved and, to the extent taken prior to the Effective Date, ratified in all respects without any requirement of further action by stockholders, members, creditors, directors, or managers of the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor.
          5.13 Preservation Of Certain Causes Of Action. In accordance with section 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Reorganized Debtor shall retain and may (but is not required to) enforce all Retained Actions. After the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right to bring, settle, release, compromise, or enforce such Retained Actions (or decline to do any of the foregoing), without further approval of the Bankruptcy Court. The Reorganized Debtor or any successors, in the exercise of their sole discretion, may pursue such Retained Actions so long as it is in the best interests of the Reorganized Debtor or any successors holding such rights of action. The failure of the Debtor to specifically list any claim, right of action, suit, proceeding or other Retained Action in this Plan does not, and will not be deemed to, constitute a waiver or release by the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor of such claim, right of action, suit, proceeding or other Retained Action, and unless any causes of action against an entity are expressly waived, relinquished, exculpated, released, compromised or settled in this Plan or a Bankruptcy Court order, the Reorganized Debtor expressly reserves the right to pursue such claims, rights of action, suits, proceedings and other Retained Actions in its sole discretion and, therefore, no preclusion doctrine, collateral estoppel, issue preclusion, claim preclusion, estoppel (judicial, equitable, or otherwise) or laches will apply to such claim, right of action, suit, proceeding, or other Retained Action upon, after, or as a consequence of the Confirmation or consummation of this Plan. In accordance with section 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, any claim, right of action, suit, proceeding or other Retained Action that the Debtor may hold against any entity shall vest in the Reorganized Debtor. The Reorganized Debtor, through its authorized agents or representatives, shall retain and may exclusively enforce any and all such claims, rights of action, suits, proceedings or other Retained Actions. The Reorganized Debtor reserves and shall retain the foregoing causes of action notwithstanding the rejection or repudiation of any Executory Contract during the Chapter 11 Case or pursuant to this Plan.
          5.14 Effectuating Documents; Further Transactions. The Debtor and the Reorganized Debtor, and their respective officers and designees, are authorized to execute, issue, deliver, file, or record such contracts, securities, instruments, releases, indentures, and other agreements or documents, and take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate and further evidence the terms and conditions of this Plan, or to otherwise comply with applicable law, without further notice to or action,

25


 

order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court or any other entity except for those expressly required pursuant to this Plan.
          5.15 Exemption From Certain Transfer Taxes And Recording Fees. Pursuant to section 1146(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, any transfers from the Debtor to the Reorganized Debtor or to any other Person or entity pursuant to this Plan, or any agreement regarding the transfer of title to or ownership of the Debtor’s real or personal property will not be subject to any document recording tax, stamp tax, conveyance fee, sales tax, intangibles or similar tax, mortgage tax, stamp act, real estate transfer tax, mortgage recording tax, Uniform Commercial Code filing or recording fee, or other similar tax or governmental assessment, and the Confirmation Order will direct the appropriate state or local governmental officials or agents to forego the collection of any such tax or governmental assessment and to accept for filing and recordation any of the foregoing instruments or other documents without the payment of any such tax or governmental assessment.
          5.16 Further Authorization. The Debtor and the Reorganized Debtor shall be entitled to seek such orders, judgments, injunctions, and rulings as they deem necessary to carry out the intentions and purposes, and to give full effect to the provisions, of this Plan.
          5.17 Dissolution Of Creditors’ Committee. The Debtor does not anticipate a Creditors’ Committee will be formed in the Chapter 11 Case because general unsecured creditors are Unimpaired under this Plan. Notwithstanding this, a Creditors’ Committee, if appointed, shall continue in existence until the Effective Date to exercise those powers and perform those duties specified in section 1103 of the Bankruptcy Code and shall perform such other duties as it may have been assigned by the Bankruptcy Court prior to the Effective Date. On the Effective Date, the Creditors’ Committee, if appointed, shall be dissolved and the Creditors’ Committee’s members shall be deemed released of all their duties, responsibilities, and obligations in connection with the Chapter 11 Case or this Plan and its implementation, and the retention or employment of the Creditors’ Committee’s attorneys, accountants, professionals, and other agents shall terminate, except with respect to (a) all Professional Fee Claims and (b) any appeals of the Confirmation Order.
ARTICLE VI

          6.1 Allowed Claims And Interests. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor shall make distributions only to Holders of Allowed Claims. A Holder of a Disputed Claim shall receive only a distribution on account thereof when and to the extent that such Holder’s Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim.

26


 

          6.2 Distributions For Claims Allowed As Of The Effective Date. Except as otherwise provided in this Plan or as ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, distributions to be made on account of Claims that are Allowed Claims as of the Effective Date shall be made on the Effective Date. Any payment or distribution required to be made under this Plan on a day other than a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.
          6.3 Payments And Distributions On Disputed Claims. Distributions made after the Effective Date to Holders of Claims that are not Allowed Claims as of the Effective Date but which later become Allowed Claims shall be deemed to have been made on the Effective Date.
          6.4 Special Rules For Distributions To Holders Of Disputed Claims. Notwithstanding any provision otherwise in this Plan and except as otherwise agreed to by the relevant parties: (a) no partial payments and no partial distributions shall be made with respect to a Disputed Claim until all such disputes in connection with such Disputed Claim have been resolved by settlement or Final Order, and (b) any entity that holds both an Allowed Claim and a Disputed Claim shall not receive any distribution on the Allowed Claim unless and until all objections to the Disputed Claim have been resolved by settlement or Final Order and the Disputed Claim has been Allowed.

Unless otherwise specifically provided for in this Plan or the Confirmation Order, or required by applicable bankruptcy law, postpetition interest and penalties shall not accrue or be paid on any Claims and no Holder of a Claim shall be entitled to interest and penalties accruing on or after the Petition Date through the date such Claim is satisfied in accordance with the terms of this Plan.
          6.6 Delivery Of Distributions And Undeliverable Or Unclaimed Distributions.
  (a)   Delivery Of Distributions In General

AMENDMENT AGREEMENT

 


 

     FIRST AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT AGREEMENT, dated as of [], 2011 (collectively with the Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto, this “Amendment”), to the CREDIT AGREEMENT, dated as of March 27, 2007 (as amended thereafter but prior to the Restatement Effective Date (as defined below), the “Existing Credit Agreement”), among TRAVELPORT HOLDINGS LIMITED, a company incorporated under the laws of Bermuda (the “Borrower”), CREDIT SUISSE AG, CAYMAN ISLANDS BRANCH, as Administrative Agent, each lender from time to time party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders” and individually, a “Lender”) and UBS SECURITIES LLC and LEHMAN COMMERCIAL PAPER INC., as Co-Syndication Agents.
          A. The Borrower has issued indebtedness under the Existing Credit Agreement.
          B. The maturity of the indebtedness outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement requires the restructuring of the indebtedness of the Borrower and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including without limitation Travelport LLC.
          C. In connection with the financial restructuring of the Borrower, to be consummated out-of-court or in connection with a Chapter 11 Plan (as defined in the Restated Credit Agreement (as defined below)) as contemplated by the RSA (as defined in the Restated Credit Agreement (as defined below)) the Borrower has requested an amendment to the Existing Credit Agreement pursuant to which (a) certain of the Existing Loans (as defined below) shall be repaid, exchanged or converted (in a manner that extends the maturity date for repayment thereof) in accordance with the terms of this Amendment, and (b) certain other provisions of the Existing Credit Agreement will be amended as set forth herein, and the Lenders are willing to consent thereto, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.
          D. In connection therewith and to induce the Lenders to agree to such amendments (including such extensions of maturity), Travelport Limited shall make extensions of credit to Travelport LLC under and pursuant to the terms of the Second Lien Credit Agreement (as defined in the Restated Credit Agreement (as defined below)) on or prior to the Restatement Effective Date (as defined below).
          E. In order to effect the foregoing, the Borrower and the other parties hereto desire to amend and restate, as of the Restatement Effective Date, the Existing Credit Agreement, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

1


 

          SECTION 1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Existing Credit Agreement or the Restated Credit Agreement, as the context may require. The provisions of Section 1.02 of the Existing Credit Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference herein, mutatis mutandis. As used herein: “Existing Loan” means a “Loan” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) that remains outstanding as of the Restatement Effective Date immediately prior to giving effect to the transactions contemplated by clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 3(a) below. “Travelport” and “Opco” have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Restated Credit Agreement.
          SECTION 2. Amendment and Restatement. Effective as of the Restatement Effective Date, but subject to clauses (i) through (iv) of Section 3(a) occurring immediately prior to or concurrently with the Restatement Effective Date (as set forth in Section 3(a) below), and the Conversion occurring as of, and after giving effect to, the Restatement Effective Date, the Existing Credit Agreement, including the schedules and exhibits attached thereto, is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to be in the form of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, including the schedules and exhibits attached thereto, attached as Exhibit A hereto (the Existing Credit Agreement, including the schedules and exhibits attached thereto, as so amended and restated, the “Restated Credit Agreement”).
          SECTION 3. Concerning the Existing Loans.
          (a) Prior to the Restatement Effective Date, certain of the Existing Loans were previously made to the Borrower under the Existing Credit Agreement, which remain outstanding as of the Restatement Effective Date. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Amendment, the Borrower and each of the Lenders agree that:
          (i) Immediately prior to the Restatement Effective Date, all accrued and unpaid interest on the Existing Loans as of the Restatement Effective Date that has not been previously capitalized and added to principal of the Existing Loans (the “Additional Interest”) shall be capitalized and added to principal of the Existing Loans (the Existing Loans plus the Additional Interest, the “Exchange Amount”).
          (ii) After giving effect to the capitalization of accrued and unpaid interest described in clause (i) above (but before giving effect to the transactions contemplated by clauses (iii) and (iv) below), immediately prior to the Restatement Effective Date, the aggregate outstanding principal amount (for the avoidance of doubt, including capitalized interest) of the Existing Loans is $[].
          (iii) Immediately prior to or concurrently with the Restatement Effective Date, the Borrower shall repay in cash to each Lender to whom an Existing Loan is owed its Pro Rata Share (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) of $85,000,000 on account thereof.

          (iv) Immediately prior to or concurrently with the Restatement Effective Date, each Lender holding an Existing Loan, after giving effect to the prepayment described in clause (iii) above, shall exchange at par its Pro Rata Share of principal amount of Existing Loans in an aggregate outstanding principal amount (for the avoidance of doubt, including capitalized interest) of $207,500,000 and shall receive in return therefor an amount equal to the equivalent ratable share of Second Lien Tranche A Loans in an aggregate outstanding original principal amount of $207,500,000 (the “Exchange”). Upon the consummation of the Exchange, any Existing Loans exchanged pursuant to this clause (iv) shall be automatically and immediately cancelled and terminated.
          (v) On the Restatement Effective Date, each Lender holding an Existing Loan, after giving effect to the Exchange described in clause (iv) above, shall convert at par its Pro Rata Share of $135,000,000 of principal amount of Existing Loans into an equivalent ratable share of $135,000,000 of original principal amount of Extended Tranche A Loans (the “Tranche A Conversion”).
          (vi) On the Restatement Effective Date, each Lender holding an Existing Loan, after giving effect to the Tranche A Conversion described in clause (v) above and the transactions described in clauses (iii) and (iv) above, shall convert at par its Pro Rata Share of the balance of the Exchange Amount into an equivalent ratable share of an equal original principal amount of Extended Tranche B Loans (the “Tranche B Conversion” and, together with the Tranche A Conversion, the “Conversion”).
          (vii) Prior to the Restatement Effective Date, TDS Investor (Cayman) L.P., the direct parent of the Borrower’s direct parent, Travelport Worldwide Limited (“Travelport Worldwide”), will have formed a new Bermuda exempted company, which in turn shall become the direct parent of Travelport Worldwide.
          (b) It is understood and agreed that, after giving effect to the Conversion, with respect to each Lender, the aggregate principal amount of Extended Tranche A Loans and Extended Tranche B Loans of such Lender is set forth on Schedule 2.01A opposite the name of such Lender. The records of the Administrative Agent with respect to the matters set forth on Schedule 2.01A shall be conclusive and binding on the Lenders, absent manifest error.
          (c) None of transactions set forth in this Section 3 shall be deemed to be a conversion of any Existing Loan into a Loan of a different Type or with a different Interest Period or, except to the extent expressly set forth in this Section 3 with respect to the prepayment described in Section 3(a) and the Exchange, a payment or prepayment of any Existing Loan, and the parties hereto hereby agree that no breakage or similar costs will accrue solely as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Section 3.
          (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the Existing Credit Agreement or in the Restated Credit Agreement, the Borrower may make the

3


 

prepayments, Exchange and Conversion described in this Section 3 without premium or penalty, and the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders waive prior notice thereof and any requirements as to minimum prepayment amounts set forth in the Existing Credit Agreement or the Restated Credit Agreement.

          Section 1.05 References to Agreements, Laws, Etc. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, (a) references to Organization Documents, agreements (including the Loan Documents) and other contractual instruments shall be deemed to include all subsequent amendments, restatements, extensions, supplements and other modifications thereto, but only to the extent that such amendments, restatements, extensions, supplements and other modifications are permitted by any Loan Document; and (b) references to any Law shall include all statutory and regulatory provisions consolidating, amending, replacing, supplementing or interpreting such Law.
          Section 1.06 Times of Day. Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to times of day shall be references to Eastern time (daylight or standard, as applicable).
          Section 1.07 Timing of Payment of Performance. When the payment of any obligation or the performance of any covenant, duty or obligation is stated to be due or performance required on a day which is not a Business Day, the date of such payment (other than as described in the definition of “Interest Period”) or performance shall extend to the immediately succeeding Business Day.
          Section 1.08 Currency Equivalents Generally. Any amount specified in this Agreement (other than in Articles II, IX, X and Section 7.07) or any of the other Loan Documents to be in Dollars shall also include the equivalent of such amount in any currency other than Dollars, such equivalent amount to be determined at the rate of exchange quoted by the Reuters World Currency Page for the applicable currency at 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such day (or, in the event such rate does not appear on any Reuters World Currency Page, by reference to such other publicly available service for displaying exchange rates as may be agreed

54


 

upon by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, or, in the absence of such agreement, such rate shall instead be the arithmetic average of the spot rates of exchange of the Administrative Agent in the market where its foreign currency exchange operations in respect of such currency are then being conducted, at or about 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such date for the purchase of Dollars for delivery two Business Days later).
ARTICLE II
THE LOANS
          Section 2.01 The Loans.
               (a) Prior to the Restatement Effective Date, the Existing Loans were outstanding under the Original Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the First Amendment and Restatement Agreement, as of the Restatement Effective Date, certain Existing Loans were repaid in cash or pursuant to the Exchange as described therein, immediately after giving effect to which the remaining outstanding principal amount of the Existing Loans was $[] (including all capitalized interest thereon) (the “Outstanding Existing Loans”).
               (b) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Borrower and each of the Lenders agree that:
               (i) On the Restatement Effective Date, each Lender holding an Outstanding Existing Loan, shall convert at par its Pro Rata Share of $135,000,000 of Outstanding Existing Loans into an equivalent ratable share of $135,000,000 of Extended Tranche A Loans (the “Tranche A Conversion”).
               (ii) On the Restatement Effective Date, each Lender holding an Outstanding Existing Loan, after giving effect to the Tranche A Conversion, shall convert at par its Pro Rata Share of $[] of Outstanding Existing Loans into an equivalent ratable share of $[] of Extended Tranche B Loans (the “Tranche B Conversion” and, together with the Tranche A Conversion, the “Conversion”).
               (c) On the Restatement Effective Date, immediately following the prepayments, the Exchange and Conversion described in Sections 2.01(a) and 2.01(b), the Borrower and each of the Lenders agree that all Extended Tranche A Loans or Extended Tranche B Loans shall continue to remain outstanding pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Amounts repaid or prepaid in respect of such Loans may not be reborrowed. Loans are denominated in Dollars and may be Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as further provided herein.

55


 

          Section 2.02 Conversions and Continuations of Loans.
               (a) Each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York, New York time) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of any continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or any conversion of Base Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans. Each telephonic notice by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Committed Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Each conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $2,500,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Each conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each Committed Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the Borrower is requesting a conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount and Class of Loans to be converted or continued, and (iv) the Type of Loans to which existing Loans are to be converted. If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans.
               (b) Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Pro Rata Share of the applicable Class of Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans or continuation described in Section 2.02(a).
               (c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Loan unless the Borrower pays the amount due, if any, under Section 3.05 in connection therewith. During the existence of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may require that no Loans may be converted to Eurocurrency Rate Loans.
               (d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurocurrency Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. The determination of the Eurocurrency Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in Credit Suisse’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following such change.

56


 

               (e) After giving effect to all conversions of Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than eight (8) Interest Periods in effect.
          Section 2.03 Prepayments.
               (a) (i) Subject to this Section 2.03 and Sections 3.05, 7.08, 7.12 and 8.10, the Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time voluntarily prepay, without premium or penalty, Loans in whole or in part; provided that (1) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York, New York time) (A) three (3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans and (B) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (2) any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $2,500,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof; and (3) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Class(es) and Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and shall be irrevocable, except as permitted under Section 2.03(a)(ii). The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Each prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) shall be paid to the Appropriate Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may not prepay Extended Tranche A Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(b)(i) while there is any Outstanding Amount with respect to any Extended Tranche B Loans.
               (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrower may rescind any notice of prepayment under Section 2.05(a)(i) if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of all of the Loans, which refinancing shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed.
               (iii) Notwithstanding Section 7.08, and subject to Section 8.10, the Borrower shall, no later than five Business Days after the issuance of stock pursuant to a public offering of Capital Stock, make a prepayment of the Loans in an amount equal to the proceeds (net of third-party brokers and advisor’s fees, or other reasonable costs incurred in connection with such transaction) of any such public offering of the Capital Stock of (a) the Borrower, the Parent or any direct or indirect holding company of the Borrower, and (b) any direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Borrower to the extent that (1) the Senior Credit Facilities and the High Yield Note Documentation permit such prepayment of the

57


 

Loans, (2) on a pro forma basis for such prepayment of the Loans, each of the Senior Credit Facilities and each of the High Yield Notes has at least $20 million of restricted payment capacity and (3) such proceeds are not required to be used to repay Indebtedness under the Senior Credit Facilities. For the avoidance of doubt, any prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(a)(iii) will be made at par; provided, that if the amount of such proceeds to be applied to such prepayments under this Section 2.03(a)(iii) is insufficient to prepay the Loans in their entirety, then the proceeds shall be applied to prepay, first, the Extended Tranche B Loans on a pro rata basis, and second, the Extended Tranche A Loans on a pro rata basis, in each case, subject to Section 8.10.
          Section 2.04 [Reserved].
          Section 2.05 Repayment of Loans.
               (a) The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Extended Tranche A Lenders on the Maturity Date applicable to the Extended Tranche A Loans, the aggregate principal amount of all Extended Tranche A Loans outstanding on such date (including any principal resulting from capitalization of accrued interest on such date); provided that such obligation to repay the Extended Tranche A Lenders on the Maturity Date applicable to the Extended Tranche A Loans may be satisfied by the Escrow Exchange. It is understood and agreed that the aggregate amount of Escrowed Property delivered to the Extended Tranche A Lenders pursuant to the Escrow Exchange shall satisfy and fully discharge the Obligations comprising the Outstanding Amount of the Extended Tranche A Loans owed to the Extended Tranche A Lenders. The Extended Tranche A Lenders and the Borrower agree that if all outstanding Obligations under the Extended Tranche A Loans are not paid in cash on the Maturity Date applicable to the Extended Tranche A Loans, then the Escrow Exchange shall be consummated pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement. All Extended Tranche A Loans shall be repaid, whether pursuant to this Section 2.05 or otherwise, in Dollars (subject to the proviso in the first sentence above of this clause (a)).
               (b) The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Extended Tranche B Lenders on the Maturity Date applicable to the Extended Tranche B Loans, the aggregate principal amount of all Extended Tranche B Loans outstanding on such date (including any principal resulting from capitalization of accrued interest on such date). All Extended Tranche B Loans shall be repaid, whether pursuant to this Section 2.05 or otherwise, in Dollars.
          Section 2.06 Interest.
               (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.06(b), (i) each Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period

58


 

at a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate and (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.
               (b) The Borrower shall pay interest on past due amounts hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.
               (c) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be capitalized as of and added to principal on (i) each Interest Payment Date, (ii) without duplication, on the date of any prepayment (on the amount prepaid), (iii) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (iv) after maturity, on the last Business Day of each month; provided that the Borrower may, at its election, pay any such accrued interest in cash; provided, however, that such interest payment is made entirely in cash. The Borrower may make such election three Business Days prior to the date such interest is payable and shall deliver to the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days prior to the date such interest is payable, a written notice setting forth that such interest payment will be made in the form of cash (and if no such notice is given, the Borrower shall be deemed not to have elected to pay such interest in cash, and such interest shall be capitalized on the date it is payable without further action or notice by any party) and provided further that the Borrower shall elect that such interest shall be paid in cash so long as such cash payment is permitted under the Senior Credit Facilities.
          Section 2.07 Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Agents in cash such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever (except as expressly agreed between the Borrower and the applicable Agent).
          Section 2.08 Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by Credit Suisse’s “prime rate” shall be made on the basis of a year of three hundred and sixty-five/three hundred and sixty-six (365/366) days and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a three hundred and sixty (360) day year and actual days elapsed. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.07(a), bear interest for one (1) day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
          Section 2.09 Evidence of Indebtedness.
               (a) The Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and evidenced by one or more entries in the

59


 

Register maintained by the Administrative Agent, acting solely for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 5f.103-1(c), as agent for the Borrower, in each case in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Loans and the related Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note payable to such Lender, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.
               (b) Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to Section 2.09(a), and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to Section 2.09(a), shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, absent manifest error; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
          Section 2.10 Payments Generally.
               (a) All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. The Administrative Agent will, subject to Section 8.10, promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. may in each case, in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.
               (b) If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be; provided that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurocurrency Rate Loans to be made in the next succeeding calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. Payments hereunder shall be made in Same Day Funds; provided that Escrowed Property delivered to the Extended Tranche A Lenders in connection

60


 

with the Escrow Exchange shall be deemed to constitute a payment in Same Day Funds for purposes of the Loan Documents.
               (c) Unless the Borrower or any Lender has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent hereunder, that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds, then:
               (i) if the Borrower failed to make such payment, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in Same Day Funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect; and
               (ii) if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith on demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount thereof in Same Day Funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent (the “Compensation Period”) at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. When such Lender makes payment to the Administrative Agent (together with all accrued interest thereon), then such payment amount (excluding the amount of any interest which may have accrued and been paid in respect of such late payment) shall constitute such Lender’s Loan of the applicable Class and Type. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor upon the Borrower, and the Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon for the Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to the applicable Loan. Nothing herein shall be deemed to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.
A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.10(c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
               (d) Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay in full all amounts due

61


 

and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the order of priority set forth in Section 8.10. Subject to Section 8.10, if the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations of the Borrower under or in respect of the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the manner in which such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each of the Lenders in accordance with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Loans outstanding at such time, in repayment or prepayment of such of the outstanding Loans then owing to such Lender.
          Section 2.11 Sharing of Payments. If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the Loans made by it any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) in excess of the share of such payment that such Lender would have received had such payment been received by the Administrative Agent and applied in accordance with Section 8.10 (if all Loans were then due), such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of such Loans or such participations, as the case may be, with each of them to the extent of the share such other Lender would have received had such payment been received by the Administrative Agent and applied in accordance with Section 8.10 (if all Loans were then due); provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, without further interest thereon; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to consideration paid for assignments or participations other than consideration paid in connection with assignments or participations to the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower (except consideration paid in connection with assignments or participations to the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower during the Repurchase Period (as defined in Section 3 of the First Amendment). The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff, but subject to Section 10.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.11 and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased.

62


 

          Section 2.12 Tax Treatment. Each of the Borrower and the Lenders shall treat each of the Extended Tranche A Loan and the Extended Tranche B Loan as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes and will not take any position on any federal, state or local income or franchise tax return or take any other reporting position that is inconsistent with the treatment of the Extended Tranche A Loan and the Extended Tranche B Loan as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
ARTICLE III
TAXES, INCREASED COSTS PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY
          Section 3.01 Taxes.
               (a) Except as provided in this Section 3.01, any and all payments by the Borrower to or for the account of any Agent or any Lender under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and all liabilities (including additions to tax, penalties and interest) with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Agent and each Lender, taxes imposed on or measured by its net income (including branch profits), and franchise (and similar) taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income taxes, by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the Laws of which such Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, is organized or maintains a Lending Office, and all liabilities (including additions to tax, penalties and interest) with respect thereto (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If the Borrower shall be required by any Laws to deduct any Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to any Agent or any Lender, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01), each of such Agent and such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions, (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Laws, and (iv) within thirty (30) days after the date of such payment (or, if receipts or evidence are not available within thirty (30) days, as soon as possible thereafter), the Borrower shall furnish to such Agent or Lender (as the case may be) the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof to the extent such a receipt is issued therefor, or other written proof of payment thereof that is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. If the Borrower fails to pay any Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to any Agent or any Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify such Agent and such Lender for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by such Agent or such Lender arising out of such failure.
               (b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes and any other excise, property, intangible or mortgage

63


 

recording taxes or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).
               (c) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Agent and each Lender for (i) the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable and paid under this Section 3.01) payable by such Agent and such Lender and (ii) any liability (including additions to tax, penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, in each case whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided such Agent or Lender, as the case may be, provides the Borrower with a written statement thereof setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of such amounts. Payment under this Section 3.01(c) shall be made within ten (10) days after the date such Lender or such Agent makes a demand therefor.
               (d) The Borrower shall not be required pursuant to this Section 3.01 to pay any additional amount to, or to indemnify, any Lender or Agent, as the case may be, to the extent that such Lender or such Agent becomes subject to Taxes subsequent to the Original Closing Date (or, if later, the date such Lender or Agent becomes a party to this Agreement) as a result of a change in the place of organization of such Lender or Agent or a change in the lending office of such Lender, except to the extent that any such change is requested or required in writing by the Borrower (and provided that nothing in this clause (d) shall be construed as relieving the Borrower from any obligation to make such payments or indemnification in the event of a change in lending office or place of organization that precedes a change in Law to the extent such Taxes result from a change in Law).
               (e) A Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of Bermuda withholding tax shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law and as reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate; provided that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice the legal position of such Lender or be otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Lender; provided, further, that the Borrower, shall reimburse such Lender for any material out-of-pocket costs that are incurred by the Lender with respect to providing any such documentation.
               (f) If any Lender or Agent determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which indemnification or additional amounts have been paid to it by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall promptly remit such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund to the Borrower, net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Lender or Agent, as the case may be and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant taxing

64


 

authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Lender or Agent, as the case may be, agrees promptly to return such refund to such party in the event such party is required to repay such refund to the relevant taxing authority. Such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, shall, at the Borrower’s request, provide the Borrower with a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence of the requirement to repay such refund received from the relevant taxing authority (provided that such Lender or Agent may delete any information therein that such Lender or Agent deems confidential). Nothing herein contained shall interfere with the right of a Lender or Agent to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit nor oblige any Lender or Agent to claim any tax refund or to make available its tax returns or disclose any information relating to its tax affairs or any computations in respect thereof or require any Lender or Agent to do anything that would prejudice its ability to benefit from any other refunds, credits, reliefs, remissions or repayments to which it may be entitled.
               (g) Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 3.01(a) or (c) with respect to such Lender it will, if requested by the Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts (subject to such Lender’s overall internal policies of general application and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate another Lending Office for any Loan affected by such event; provided that such efforts are made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its Lending Office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided further that nothing in this Section 3.01(g) shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrower or the rights of such Lender pursuant to Section 3.01(a) or (c).
          Section 3.02 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurocurrency Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurocurrency Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans to such day, or promptly, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted and all amounts due, if any, in connection with such prepayment or conversion under Section 3.05. Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.
          Section 3.03 Inability to Determine Rates. If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan, or that the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed

65


 

Eurocurrency Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, or that Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and the Interest Period of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a conversion to or continuation of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.
          Section 3.04 Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy; Reserves on Eurocurrency Rate Loans.
               (a) If any Lender determines that as a result of the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any Law, in each case after the Original Closing Date, or such Lender’s compliance therewith, there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Eurocurrency Rate Loans, or a reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Lender in connection with any of the foregoing (excluding for purposes of this Section 3.04(a) any such increased costs or reduction in amount resulting from (i) Taxes or Other Taxes indemnifiable pursuant to Section 3.01, (ii) changes in the basis of taxation of overall net income (including branch profits), and franchise (and similar) taxes imposed in lieu of net income taxes, by the any jurisdiction or any political subdivision of either thereof under the Laws of which such Lender is organized or maintains a Lending Office, or (iii) reserve requirements contemplated by Section 3.04(c), then from time to time within fifteen (15) days after demand by such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail such increased costs (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 3.06), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction.
               (b) If any Lender determines that the introduction of any Law regarding capital adequacy or any change therein or in the interpretation thereof, in each case after the Original Closing Date, or compliance by such Lender (or its Lending Office) therewith, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender’s desired return on capital), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the charge and the calculation of such reduced rate of return (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 3.06), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such demand.
               (c) The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, (i) as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or

66


 

including Eurocurrency funds or deposits, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurocurrency Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error), and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the funding of the Eurocurrency Rate Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Borrower shall have received at least fifteen (15) days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or cost from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice fifteen (15) days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest or cost shall be due and payable fifteen (15) days from receipt of such notice.
               (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.04 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to Section 3.04(a), (b) or (c) for any such increased cost or reduction incurred more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender demands, or notifies the Borrower of its intention to demand, compensation therefor, provided further that, if the circumstance giving rise to such increased cost or reduction is retroactive, then such 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
               (e) If any Lender requests compensation under this Section 3.04, then such Lender will, if requested by the Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts to designate another Lending Office for any Loan affected by such event; provided that such efforts are made on terms that, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its Lending Office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided further that nothing in this Section 3.04(e) shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrower or the rights of such Lender pursuant to Section 3.04(a), (b), (c) or (d).
          Section 3.05 Funding Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:
               (a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or
               (b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower;

67


 

including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.
          For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurocurrency Rate Loan made by it at the Eurocurrency Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurocurrency Rate Loan was in fact so funded.
          Section 3.06 Matters Applicable to All Requests for Compensation.
               (a) Any Agent or any Lender claiming compensation under this Article 3 shall deliver a certificate to the Borrower setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder which shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Agent or such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.
               (b) With respect to any Lender’s claim for compensation under 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate such Lender for any amount incurred more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the event that gives rise to such claim; provided that, if the circumstance giving rise to such claim is retroactive, then such 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. If any Lender requests compensation by the Borrower under Section 3.04, the Borrower may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or continue from one Interest Period to another Eurocurrency Rate Loans, or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurocurrency Rate Loans, until the event or condition giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 3.06(c) shall be applicable); provided that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to receive the compensation so requested.
               (c) If the obligation of any Lender to make or continue from one Interest Period to another any Eurocurrency Rate Loan, or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 3.06(b), such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be automatically converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for such Eurocurrency Rate Loans (or, in the case of an immediate conversion required by Section 3.02, on such earlier date as required by Law) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04 that gave rise to such conversion no longer exist:
               (i) to the extent that such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans have been so converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that

68


 

would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and
               (ii) all Loans that would otherwise be made or continued from one Interest Period to another by such Lender as Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be made or continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be converted into Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.
               (d) If any Lender gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04 that gave rise to the conversion of such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans pursuant to this Section 3.06 no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when Eurocurrency Rate Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding Eurocurrency Rate Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, interest rate basis, and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share.
          Section 3.07 Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances.
               (a) If at any time (i) the Borrower becomes obligated to pay additional amounts or indemnity payments described in Section 3.01 or 3.04 as a result of any condition described in such Sections or any Lender ceases to make Eurocurrency Rate Loans as a result of any condition described in Section 3.02 or Section 3.04 or (ii) any Lender becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, on ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and such Lender, replace such Lender by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to Section 10.07(b) (with the assignment fee to be paid by the Borrower in such instance) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrower to find a replacement Lender or other such Person; and provided further that (A) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments and (B) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable Eligible Assignees shall have agreed to the applicable departure, waiver or amendment of the Loan Documents.
               (b) Any Lender being replaced pursuant to Section 3.07(a) above shall (i) execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Lender’s outstanding Loans, and (ii) deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or Administrative Agent. Pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, (A) the assignee Lender shall acquire all

69


 

or a portion, as the case may be, of the assigning Lender’s outstanding Loans, (B) all obligations of the Borrower owing to the assigning Lender relating to the Loans so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such assigning Lender concurrently with such assignment and assumption and (C) upon such payment and, if so requested by the assignee Lender, delivery to the assignee Lender of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by the Borrower, the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the assigning Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder with respect to such assigned Loans, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such assigning Lender.
               (c) In the event that (i) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent has requested that the Lenders consent to a departure or waiver of any provisions of the Loan Documents or agree to any amendment thereto, (ii) the consent, waiver or amendment in question requires the agreement of all affected Lenders in accordance with the terms of Section 10.01 or all the Lenders with respect to a certain Class of the Loans and (iii) the Required Lenders have agreed to such consent, waiver or amendment, then any Lender who does not agree to such consent, waiver or amendment shall be deemed a “Non-Consenting Lender.”

               (iii) the redemption, repurchase or other acquisition or retirement of Subordinated Indebtedness of the Borrower made by exchange for, or out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale of, new Indebtedness of the Borrower which is incurred in compliance with Section 7.07(a) so long as:
                    (1) the principal amount of such new Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of (or accreted value, if applicable), plus any accrued and unpaid interest on, the Subordinated Indebtedness being so redeemed, repurchased, acquired or retired for value, plus the amount of any reasonable premium required to be paid under the terms of the instrument governing the Subordinated Indebtedness being so redeemed, repurchased, acquired or retired and any reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection with the issuance of such new Indebtedness;
                    (2) such new Indebtedness is subordinated to the Loans at least to the same extent as such Subordinated Indebtedness so purchased, exchanged, redeemed, repurchased, acquired or retired for value;
                    (3) such new Indebtedness has a final scheduled maturity date equal to or later than the final scheduled maturity date of the

78

               (v) the declaration and payment of dividends to holders of any class or series of Disqualified Stock of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries issued in accordance with Section 7.07, other than to a Permitted Holder or an Affiliate of a Permitted Holder, to the extent such dividends are included in the definition of “Fixed Charges”;

               (A) franchise taxes and other fees, taxes and expenses required to maintain their corporate existence;
               (B) federal, state and local income taxes, to the extent such income taxes are attributable to the income of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries and, to the extent of the amount actually received from its Unrestricted Subsidiaries, in amounts required to pay such taxes to the extent attributable to the income of such Unrestricted Subsidiaries; provided that in each case the amount of such payments in any fiscal year does not exceed the amount that the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries would be required to pay in respect of federal, state and local taxes for such fiscal year were the Borrower, its Restricted Subsidiaries and its Unrestricted Subsidiaries (to the extent described above) to pay such taxes separately from any such parent entity; and

               (c) The Borrower will not permit any Unrestricted Subsidiary to become a Restricted Subsidiary except pursuant to the last sentence of the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary”; provided that until the Settlement Date, the Borrower will not permit

80


 

Travelport Guarantor to become a Restricted Subsidiary. For purposes of designating any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, all outstanding Investments by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (except to the extent repaid) in the Subsidiary so designated will be deemed to be Restricted Payments in an amount determined as set forth in the last sentence of the definition of “Investment.” Such designation will be permitted only if a Restricted Payment in such amount would be permitted at such time under Section 7.05(a), or pursuant to the definition of “Permitted Investments,” and if such Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

               (iv) any agreement or other instrument of a Person acquired by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in existence at the time of such acquisition (but not created in contemplation thereof), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person and its Subsidiaries, or the property or assets of the Person and its Subsidiaries, so acquired;
               (v) contracts for the sale of assets, including customary restrictions with respect to a Subsidiary of the Borrower pursuant to an agreement that has been entered into for the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the Capital Stock or assets of such Subsidiary;

82


 

               (xii) other Indebtedness of Restricted Subsidiaries permitted to be incurred pursuant to an agreement entered into subsequent to the Original Closing Date in accordance with Section 7.07; provided, that the provisions relating to such encumbrances or restrictions contained in such Indebtedness are no less favorable to the Borrower, take as a whole, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Borrower in good faith than the provisions of the Senior Credit Facilities, the Senior Notes Indentures or the Senior Subordinated Notes Indenture, in each case as in effect on the Restatement Effective Date;
               (xiii) any encumbrances or restrictions of the type referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of Section 7.06(a) imposed by any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of the contracts, instruments or obligations referred to in clauses (i) through (xii) of this Section 7.06(b); provided that such amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are, in the good faith judgment of the Borrower, no more restrictive with respect to such encumbrance and other restrictions taken as a whole than those prior to such amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, increase, supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing; and

               (A) such Indebtedness is not reflected on the balance sheet of the Borrower, or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (contingent obligations referred to in a footnote to financial statements and not otherwise reflected on the balance sheet will not be deemed to be reflected on such balance sheet for purposes of this clause (vi)(A)); and
               (B) the maximum assumable liability in respect of all such Indebtedness shall at no time exceed the gross proceeds including non-cash proceeds (the fair market value of such non-cash proceeds being measured at the time received and without giving effect to any subsequent changes in value) actually received by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with such disposition;

86


 

of this clause (xii)(B) but shall be deemed incurred for the purposes of Section 7.07(a) from and after the first date on which the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary could have incurred such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock under Section 7.07(a) without reliance on this clause (xii)(B));

               (A) has a final maturity date later than the final maturity date of, and has a Weighted Average Life to Maturity at the time such Refinancing Indebtedness is incurred which is not less than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of, the Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock being refunded or refinanced,
               (B) to the extent such Refinancing Indebtedness refinances (i) Indebtedness subordinated or pari passu to the Loans, such Refinancing Indebtedness is subordinated or pari passu to the Loans at least to the same extent as the Indebtedness being refinanced or refunded or (ii) Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, such Refinancing Indebtedness must be Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, respectively, and

               (A) In the case of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock of the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary (other than a Travelport Entity), either (1) the Borrower would be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Borrower Exception or (2) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries is greater than immediately prior to such acquisition or merger; and

               (xv) Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument drawn against insufficient funds in the ordinary course of business, provided that such Indebtedness is extinguished within two Business Days of its incurrence;
               (xvi) Indebtedness of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries supported by a letter of credit issued pursuant to the Credit Facilities, in a principal amount not in excess of the stated amount of such letter of credit;
               (xvii) (A) any guarantee by the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness or other obligations of any Restricted Subsidiary so long as the incurrence of such Indebtedness incurred by such Restricted Subsidiary is permitted under the terms of this Agreement or (B) any guarantee by a Restricted Subsidiary of Indebtedness of the Borrower;
               (xviii) Indebtedness of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries consisting of (i) the financing of insurance premiums or (ii) take-or-pay obligations contained in supply arrangements in each case, incurred in the ordinary course of business;

               (xix) Indebtedness constituting the Worldspan Financing; and
               (xx) Indebtedness consisting of Indebtedness issued by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to current or former officers, directors and employees thereof, their respective estates, spouses or former spouses, in each case to finance the purchase or redemption of Equity Interests of the Borrower or any direct or indirect parent company of the Borrower to the extent described in clause (iv) of Section 7.05(b).
                    (c) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 7.07:
               (i) in the event that an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of permitted Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock described in clauses (i) through (xx) of Section 7.07(b) or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 7.07(a), the Borrower, in its sole discretion, will classify or reclassify such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) and will only be required to include the amount and type of such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock in one of the above clauses; provided that all Indebtedness outstanding under the Credit Facilities on the Original Closing Date will be treated as incurred on the Original Closing Date under clause (i) of Section 7.07(b); and
               (ii) at the time of incurrence, the Borrower will be entitled to divide and classify an item of Indebtedness in more than one of the types of Indebtedness described in Section 7.07(a) and Section 7.07(b).
Accrual of interest, the accretion of accreted value and the payment of interest in the form of additional Indebtedness (including interest accruing hereunder in the form of additional Loans), Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock for purposes of this Section 7.07.
          For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal

89


 

amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced.
          The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.
          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Borrower shall not, directly or indirectly, incur any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness but excluding Indebtedness under the Loan Documents) that is subordinated or junior in right of payment to any Indebtedness of the Borrower unless such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Loans to the extent and in the same manner as such Indebtedness is subordinated to other Indebtedness of the Borrower. For the purposes of this Agreement, Indebtedness that is unsecured is not deemed to be subordinated or junior to Secured Indebtedness merely because it is unsecured, and Senior Indebtedness is not deemed to be subordinated or junior to any other Senior Indebtedness merely because it has a junior priority with respect to the same collateral.
          Section 7.08 Asset Sales.
               (a) The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, cause, make or suffer to exist an Asset Sale, unless:
               (i) the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of; and
               (ii) except in the case of a Permitted Asset Swap, at least 75% of the consideration therefor received by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents; provided that the amount of:
               (A) any liabilities (as shown on the Borrower’ or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet or in the footnotes thereto) of the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Loans, that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets and for which the Borrower and all of its Restricted Subsidiaries have been validly released by all creditors in writing,

90


 

               (B) any securities received by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash (to the extent of the cash received) within 180 days following the closing of such Asset Sale, and
               (C) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate fair market value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (C) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed 2.5% of Total Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration, with the fair market value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value,
shall be deemed to be cash for purposes of this provision and for no other purpose.
          (b) Within 480 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale, the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary, at its option, may apply the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale,
               (i) to permanently reduce:
               (A) obligations under the Senior Credit Facilities; and to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto;
               (B) obligations under Senior Indebtedness that is secured by a Lien, which Lien is permitted by this Agreement, and to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto;
               (C) obligations under other Senior Indebtedness (and to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto), provided that the Borrower shall equally and ratably reduce Obligations under the Loans by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below under Section 7.08(c)) to all Lenders to prepay their Loans at 100% of the

91


 

principal amount thereof, plus the amount of accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the Loans that would otherwise be prepaid;
               (D) Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary, other than Indebtedness owed to the Borrower or another Restricted Subsidiary; or
               (E) obligations under the Second Lien Credit Facilities; and to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto;
               (ii) to make (A) an Investment in any one or more businesses, provided that such Investment in any business is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock and results in the Borrower or another of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, owning an amount of the Capital Stock of such business such that it constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary, (B) capital expenditures or (C) acquisitions of other assets, in each of (A), (B) and (C), used or useful in a Similar Business, or
               (iii) to make an investment in (A) any one or more businesses, provided that such Investment in any business is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock and results in the Borrower or another of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, owning an amount of the Capital Stock of such business such that it constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary, (B) properties or (C) acquisitions of other assets that, in each of (A), (B) and (C), replace the businesses, properties and/or assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale;
provided that, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, a binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Proceeds from the date of such commitment so long as the Borrower, or such other Restricted Subsidiary enters into such commitment with the good faith expectation that such Net Proceeds will be applied to satisfy such commitment within 180 days of such commitment (an “Acceptable Commitment”) and, in the event any Acceptable Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before the Net Proceeds are applied in connection therewith, the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into another Acceptable Commitment (a “Second Commitment”) within 180 days of such cancellation or termination; provided further that if any Second Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before such Net Proceeds are applied, then such Net Proceeds shall constitute Excess Proceeds. The Borrower or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary may apply Net Proceeds to multiple payments of Obligations or investments set forth in this clause (b) (irrespective if any attempted payment of Obligations is not accepted by the applicable creditors), in each case so long as such payment or investment occurs within the applicable time periods set forth in this clause (b).

92


 

          (c) Any Net Proceeds from the Asset Sale that are not invested or applied as provided and within the time period set forth in the first sentence of the preceding paragraph will be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds”. When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $35.0 million, the Borrower shall make an offer to all Lenders and, if required by the terms of any Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Loans (“Pari Passu Indebtedness”), to the holders of such Pari Passu Indebtedness (an “Asset Sale Offer”), to prepay or purchase the maximum aggregate principal amount of the Loans and such Pari Passu Indebtedness that is at least $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 thereafter that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 7.08(d).
          (d) Within ten Business Days after the date that Excess Proceeds exceed $35.0 million, the Borrower shall deliver a notice of the Asset Sale Offer to the Administrative Agent for delivery to each Lender stating:
               (i) the amount of Excess Proceeds and that the Borrower is required to prepay, subject to Section 8.10, such Lender’s Loans at a prepayment amount in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Lender’s Loans, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of prepayment (the “Asset Sale Payment”), subject to such Lender’s right to reject such prepayment;
               (ii) the prepayment date (the “Asset Sale Payment Date”) (which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is delivered);
               (iii) that any Loan accepted for repayment pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Asset Sale Payment Date unless the Asset Sale Payment is not paid;
               (iv) that any Loan not properly elected for prepayment will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest; and
               (v) that Lenders will be entitled to withdraw their election to require the Borrower to prepay the Loans, provided that the Administrative Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the fifth Business Day preceding the Asset Sale Payment Date written notice setting forth the name of the Lender of the Loans, the principal amount of Loans elected for prepayment, and a statement that such Lender is withdrawing its election to have such Loans prepaid.

93


 

          (e) On the Asset Sale Payment Date, the Borrower will, to the extent lawful and subject to Section 8.10:
               (i) pay in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the Asset Sale Payment in respect of all Loans properly elected for prepayment in accordance with the Asset Sale Offer; and
               (ii) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Administrative Agent an Officers’ Certificate stating the Loans or portions of the Loans being prepaid by the Borrower in the Asset Sale Offer.
          (f) To the extent that the aggregate amount of Loans and such Pari Passu Indebtedness elected to be prepaid or tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Borrower may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes, subject to other covenants contained in this Agreement. If the aggregate principal amount of Loans or the Pari Passu Indebtedness elected to be prepaid or surrendered by such holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, subject to Section 8.10, the Administrative Agent shall select the Loans and such Pari Passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the accreted value or principal amount of the Loans or such Pari Passu Indebtedness prepaid or tendered (provided that, as among the Loans, no Extended Tranche A Loan shall be accepted for payment unless all Extended Tranche B Loans elected to be prepaid have first been accepted for payment). Upon completion of any such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset to zero.
          (g) Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds pursuant to this Section 7.08, the holder of such Net Proceeds may apply such Net Proceeds temporarily to reduce Indebtedness outstanding under a revolving credit facility or otherwise invest such Net Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by this Agreement.
     Section 7.09 Transactions with Affiliates.
          (a) The Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Borrower (each of the foregoing, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $10.0 million, unless:
               (i) such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable to the Borrower or its relevant Restricted Subsidiary than

94


 

those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person on an arm’s-length basis; and
               (ii) the Borrower delivers to the Administrative Agent with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate payments or consideration in excess of $20.0 million, a resolution adopted by the majority of the board of directors of the Borrower approving such Affiliate Transaction and set forth in an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (i) of this Section 7.09(a).

               (iv) the payment of reasonable and customary fees paid to, and indemnities provided for the benefit of, officers, directors, employees or consultants of the Borrower, any of its direct or indirect parent companies or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;
               (v) transactions in which the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, delivers to the Administrative Agent a letter from an Independent Financial Advisor stating that such transaction is fair to the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or stating that the terms are not materially less favorable to the Borrower or its relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person on an arm’s-length basis;
               (vi) any agreement as in effect as of the Original Closing Date, or any amendment thereto (so long as any such amendment is not disadvantageous to the Lenders when taken as a whole as compared to the applicable agreement as in effect on the Original Closing Date);
               (vii) the existence of, or the performance by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of its obligations under the terms of, any stockholders agreement (including any registration rights agreement or purchase agreement related thereto) to which it is a party as of the Original Closing Date and any similar agreements which it may enter into thereafter; provided, however, that the existence of, or the performance by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of obligations under any future amendment to any such existing agreement or under any similar agreement entered into after the Original Closing Date shall only be permitted by this clause (vii) to the extent that the terms of any such amendment or new agreement are not otherwise disadvantageous to the Lenders when taken as a whole;
               (viii) the Dividend Transaction and the payment of all fees and expenses related to the Dividend Transaction, in each case as disclosed to the Administrative Agent;

The Borrower shall not directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (except Permitted Liens) that secures obligations under any Indebtedness or any related guarantee, on any asset or property of the Borrower, or any income or profits therefrom, or assign or convey any right to receive income therefrom, unless:
          (a) in the case of Liens securing Subordinated Indebtedness, the Loans are secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior in priority to such Liens; or

97


 

          (b) in all other cases, the Loans are equally and ratably secured, except that the foregoing shall not apply to (i) Liens securing the Loans, (ii) Liens securing Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under Credit Facilities, including any letter of credit facility relating thereto, that was permitted by the terms of this Agreement to be incurred pursuant to clause (i) of Section 7.07(b) and (iii) Liens securing Indebtedness of any Travelport Entity under Credit Facilities permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 7.07; provided that, with respect to Liens securing Indebtedness permitted under this subclause (iii), at the time of incurrence and after giving pro forma effect thereto, the Consolidated Secured Debt Ratio would be no greater than 4.0 to 1.0.

     Section 7.12 Offer to Prepay Upon a Change of Control.
          (a) Within 30 days following any Change of Control, except to the extent that the Borrower has exercised its right to prepay the Loans in accordance with Section 2.03, the Borrower shall deliver a notice (a “Change of Control Offer”) to the Administrative Agent for delivery to each Lender stating:
               (i) that a Change of Control has occurred and that such Lender has the right to require the Borrower to prepay such Lender’s Loans at a prepayment price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of prepayment (the “Change of Control Payment”);

          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.12, the Borrower shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 7.12 applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Borrower and purchases all Loans validly elected for prepayment and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.
          (c) On the Change of Control Payment Date, if the Change of Control shall have occurred, the Borrower will, to the extent lawful:

          (a) such Restricted Subsidiary within 30 days executes and delivers a supplemental agreement to this Agreement, the form of which is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, providing for a guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary of the Loans, except that if such Indebtedness is by its express terms subordinated in right of payment to the Loans, any such guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary with respect to such Indebtedness shall

99


 

be subordinated in right of payment to such guarantee substantially to the same extent as such Indebtedness is subordinated to the Loans;
          (b) such Restricted Subsidiary waives and shall not in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any rights of reimbursement, indemnity or subrogation or any other rights against the Borrower or any other Restricted Subsidiary as a result of any payment by such Restricted Subsidiary under its guarantee; and
          (c) such Restricted Subsidiary shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that:
               (i) such guarantee has been duly executed and authorized; and
               (ii) such guarantee constitutes a valid, binding and enforceable obligation of such Restricted Subsidiary, except insofar as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws (including all laws relating to fraudulent transfers) and except insofar as enforcement thereof is subject to general principles of equity;
provided that this Section 7.13 shall not be applicable to any guarantee of any Restricted Subsidiary that existed at the time such Person became a Restricted Subsidiary and was not incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary.
     Section 7.14 Discharge of Certain Covenants.
          (a) If after the Original Closing Date (i) the Loans have Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Agreement then, beginning on that day (the “Suspension Date”) and continuing at all times thereafter regardless of any subsequent changes in the rating of the Loans (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event”), Section 7.05, Section 7.06, Section 7.07, Section 7.08, Section 7.09, and clause (iv) of Section 6.01 shall not be applicable to the Loans (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”).
          (b) During any period that the foregoing covenants have been suspended, the Borrower may not designate any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries pursuant to the second sentence of the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary.”

100


 

          (c) In the event that the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Agreement for any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) one or both of the Rating Agencies withdraw their Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the rating assigned to the Loans below an Investment Grade Rating, then the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Agreement with respect to future events. The period of time between the Suspension Date and the Reversion Date is referred to in this Section 7.14 as the “Suspension Period”. Upon the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event, the amount of Excess Proceeds from Net Proceeds shall be reset to zero.
          (d) During any Suspension Period, the Borrower will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into any Sale and Lease-Back Transaction; provided, however, that the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary may enter into a Sale and Lease-Back Transaction if (i) the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary could have incurred a Lien to secure the Indebtedness attributable to such Sale and Lease-Back Transaction pursuant to Section 7.10 without equally and ratably securing the Loans pursuant to Section 7.10; and (ii) the consideration received by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary in that Sale and Lease-Back Transaction is at least equal to the fair market value of the property sold and otherwise complies with Section 7.08; provided, further, that the foregoing provisions shall cease to apply on and subsequent to the Reversion Date following such Suspension Period.
          (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any such reinstatement, no action taken or omitted to be taken by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries with respect to the Suspended Covenants during a Suspension Period will give rise to a Default or Event of Default under this Agreement with respect to the Loans; provided that (i) with respect to Restricted Payments made after such reinstatement, the amount of Restricted Payments made will be calculated as though Section 7.05 had been in effect prior to, but not during, the Suspension Period; and (ii) all Indebtedness incurred, or Disqualified Stock issued, during the Suspension Period will be classified to have been incurred or issued pursuant to Section 7.07(b)(iii).
          (f) The Borrower shall deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent an Officer’s Certificate notifying it of any such occurrence under this Section 7.14.
     Section 7.15 Modification of Related Documents. The Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to:
          (a) consent or agree to any amendment, modification or change to any material term or condition in any Related Document or give any other consent, waiver or approval thereunder, in each case that is materially adverse to the interests of the Lenders; or

101


 

          (b) consent to any waiver of any default under or any breach of any material term or condition of any Related Document, to the extent that such waiver would be materially adverse to the interests of the Lenders.
     Section 7.16 Escrow Arrangements.
          (a) On the Restatement Effective Date, the Borrower shall cause (i) Travelport to make an equity contribution of Second Lien Tranche A Loans in an aggregate principal amount of $135,000,000 to Travelport Guarantor and (ii) Travelport Guarantor to (x) execute and deliver the Guaranty, whereby it shall unconditionally guarantee the Obligations under the Extended Tranche A Loans and (y) execute and deliver the Escrow Agreement, whereby the Second Lien Tranche A Loans shall be placed in escrow for the benefit of the Extended Tranche A Lenders pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement.
          (b) Upon the occurrence of an Escrow Trigger Event, the Escrow Exchange shall be consummated pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement. Upon the Settlement Date, the guarantee and escrow arrangements described in clause (a)(ii) above shall be automatically terminated in their entirety.
     Section 7.17 Travelport Guarantor Prior to the Settlement Date:
          (a) Travelport Guarantor shall not (and the Borrower shall cause Travelport Guarantor not to) conduct, transact or otherwise engage in any business or operations other than those incidental to (i) its ownership of the Second Lien Tranche A Loans, (ii) the maintenance of its legal existence and (iii) the performance of the Travelport Guarantor Loan Documents and the other agreements and transactions contemplated thereby and hereby;
          (b) Travelport Guarantor shall not (and the Borrower shall cause Travelport Guarantor not to) (i) incur or permit to exist any liabilities other than pursuant to the Travelport Guarantor Loan Documents, (ii) grant or permit to exist any Liens on its properties other than under the Guaranty, (iii) transfer, sell, convey or otherwise dispose of any assets except pursuant to the Escrow Exchange, or (iv) and issue any Equity Interests in Travelport Guarantor, or permit to exist any Equity Interests in Travelport Guarantor that are not directly or indirectly owned by Travelport; and
          (c) the Borrower shall take, and shall cause Travelport and Travelport Guarantor to take, all reasonable steps, including without limitation, all steps that the Required Extended Tranche A Lenders may from time to time reasonably request, to maintain Travelport Guarantor’s identity as a separate (bankruptcy remote) legal entity and to make it manifest to third parties that Travelport Guarantor is a separate legal entity.

               (xi) Any material provision of any Loan Document, at any time after its execution and delivery and for any reason other than as expressly permitted hereunder or thereunder or as a result of acts or omissions by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or the satisfaction in full of all the Obligations with respect to the Loans, ceases to be in full force and effect; or the Borrower contests in writing the validity or enforceability of any provision of any Loan Document; or the Borrower denies in writing that it has any or further liability or obligation under any Loan Document (other than as a result of repayment in full of the Obligations in respect of the Loans), or purports in writing to revoke or rescind any Loan Document;
               (xii) so long as the Borrower directly or indirectly shall own any shares of any Orbitz Entity, any Orbitz Entity, without the consent of the Required Lenders, makes any payment, distribution or other transfer to any Permitted Holder or an Affiliate of a Permitted Holder (other than (w) to the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, (x) to any director, officer or employee of any Orbitz Entity, (y) to any portfolio company of any Permitted Holder or of any Affiliate of a Permitted Holder, so long as such payment, distribution or other transfer is (1) in the ordinary course of business, (2) no less advantageous to the applicable Orbitz Entity than past practice, if any, (3) on an arm’s-length basis and (4) for goods and services actually rendered or to be rendered or (z) in connection with a pro rata distribution to all shareholders of such Orbitz Entity), or enters into any agreement to do any of the foregoing;
               (xiii) a material breach of, or Event of Default under and as defined in any of the Travelport Guarantor Loan Documents or any amendment, modification or change to any organizational document of Travelport Guarantor materially adverse to the interest of the Lenders;
               (xiv) Any representation or warranty, certification or statement of fact made or deemed made by or on behalf of the Travelport Guarantor in any Travelport Guarantor Loan Document shall be incorrect or misleading in any material respect when made or deemed made; or

               (b) In the event of any Event of Default specified in clause (v) of Section 8.01(a), such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding any resulting payment default, other than as a result of acceleration of the Loans) shall be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, if within 20 days after such Event of Default arose:
               (i) the Indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged; or
               (ii) holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default; or
               (iii) the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured.
          Section 8.02 Acceleration.
          If any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (vii) or (viii) of Section 8.01(a)) occurs and is continuing under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Required Lenders, or the Required Lenders may declare the principal, fees, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding Loans to be due and payable immediately; provided that if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing that is specified in Section 8.01(a)(i) and/or due to a breach of Section 7.16 and/or Section 7.17, then only the consent of or declaration of the Required Extended Tranche A Lenders shall be required to accelerate the Loans solely on the basis of such Event of Default so long as no other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; provided further that if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing that is specified in Section 8.01(a)(ii), then only the consent of or declaration of the Required Extended Tranche B Lenders shall be required to accelerate the Loans solely on the basis of such Event of Default so long as no other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Upon the effectiveness of such declaration, such principal and interest shall be due and payable immediately.

107


 

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising under clause (vii) or (viii) of Section 8.01(a), all principal, fees, if any, and interest on the Loans shall be due and payable immediately without further action or notice.
          The Required Lenders by written notice to the Administrative Agent may on behalf of all of the Lenders rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived; provided that (i) a rescission with respect to an Event of Default specified in Section 8.01(a)(i) and/or due to a breach of Section 7.16 and/or Section 7.16 shall only require the consent of the Required Extended Tranche A Lenders, and (ii) a rescission with respect to an Event of Default specified in Section 8.01(a)(ii) shall only require the consent of the Required Extended Tranche B Lenders.
          Section 8.03 Other Remedies.
          If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, fees, if any, and interest on the Loans or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Agreement.
          The Administrative Agent may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.
          Section 8.04 Waiver of Past Defaults. The Required Lenders by notice to the Administrative Agent may on behalf of all the Lenders waive any existing Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default in the payment of the principal of, fees, if any, or interest on, any Loan held by a Non-Consenting Lender (including in connection with an Asset Sale Offer or a Change of Control Offer); provided, subject to Section 8.02, that the Required Lenders may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration; provided further, that if the Loans have been accelerated pursuant to an Event of Default that is specified in Section 8.01(a)(i) and/or due to a breach of Section 7.16 and/or Section 7.17, then only the Required Extended Tranche A Lenders may rescind the acceleration; provided further that if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing that is specified in Section 8.01(a)(ii), then only the Required Extended Tranche B Lenders may rescind the acceleration. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Agreement; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
          Section 8.05 Control by Majority. The Required Lenders may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Administrative

108


 

Agent or of exercising any power conferred on the Administrative Agent; provided, that the Required Extended Tranche A Lenders may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Administrative Agent or of exercising any power conferred on the Administrative Agent, in each case in respect of the Escrowed Property or in connection with the Escrow Agreement. The Administrative Agent, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Agreement or that the Administrative Agent determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Lender or that would involve the Administrative Agent in personal liability.
          Section 8.06 [Reserved].
          Section 8.07 Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Agreement and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Administrative Agent or to such Lender, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceedings, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue as though no such proceeding has been instituted.
          Section 8.08 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Administrative Agent or to the Lenders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
          Section 8.09 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Administrative Agent or of any Lender to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article VIII or by law to the Administrative Agent or to the Lenders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Administrative Agent or by the Lenders, as the case may be.
          Section 8.10 Priorities.
               (a) If the Administrative Agent collects or receives any money pursuant to this Article VIII or any other provision contained in this Agreement (other than Section 2.05 or in connection with the Escrow Exchange), it shall pay out the money in the following order:
                    (i) to the Administrative Agent, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Article IX, including payment of all compensation,

109


 

expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Administrative Agent and the costs and expenses of collection;
                    (ii) to payment of that portion of the Obligations under the Loan Documents constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to the Lenders (including costs payable under Section 10.04 and amounts payable under Article 3), ratably among them in proportion to the amounts described in this clause (ii) payable to them;
                    (iii) to Extended Tranche B Lenders for amounts due and unpaid on the Extended Tranche B Loans for principal and, if any, interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Extended Tranche B Loans for principal and, if any, interest, respectively;
                    (iv) to Extended Tranche A Lenders for amounts due and unpaid on the Extended Tranche A Loans for principal and, if any, interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Extended Tranche A Loans for principal and, if any, interest, respectively; and
                    (v) to the Borrower or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.
               (b) This Section 8.10 shall not be construed to prohibit (i) the repayment of Extended Tranche A Loans pursuant to Section 2.05 on the Maturity Date applicable to the Extended Tranche A Loans prior to the repayment of Extended Tranche B Loans or (ii) the consummation of the Escrow Exchange prior to the repayment of Extended Tranche B Loans.
ARTICLE IX
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND OTHER AGENTS
          Section 9.01 Appointment and Authorization of Agents.
               (a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the

110


 

contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.
               (b) Each Extended Tranche A Lender irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent and each other Extended Tranche A Lender as its agent and bailee for the purpose of perfecting Liens (whether pursuant to Section 8-301(a)(2) of the UCC or otherwise), for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Extended Tranche A Lenders, in assets in which, in accordance with the UCC or any other applicable Law a security interest can be perfected by possession or control. Should any Extended Tranche A Lender obtain possession or control of any Escrowed Property or other Collateral, such Extended Tranche A Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof, and, promptly following the Administrative Agent’s request therefore, shall deliver such Escrowed Property or other Collateral to the Administrative Agent or otherwise deal with such Escrowed Property or other Collateral in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s instructions.
               (c) Each Extended Tranche A Lender hereby also irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of Travelport Guarantor Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement or any Travelport Guarantor Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
               (d) The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents and the Travelport Guarantor Loan Documents, and each of the Extended Tranche A Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of (and to hold any security interest created by the Loan Documents or Travelport Guarantor Loan Documents for and on behalf of or on trust for) such Extended Tranche A Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Escrowed Property and other Collateral granted by Travelport Guarantor to secure any of the Obligations under the Extended Tranche A Loans, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” (and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.02 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Escrowed Property and other Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Escrow Agreement, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent),

111


 

shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article 9 (including Section 9.07, as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents or Travelport Guarantor Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.
          Section 9.02 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Travelport Guarantor Loan Document (including for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Escrowed Property and other Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Escrow Agreement or of exercising any rights and remedies thereunder) by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or sub-agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined in the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).
          Section 9.03 Liability of Agents. No Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by the Borrower or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created under the Escrow Agreement, or for any failure the Borrower, Travelport Guarantor or any other party to any Loan Document or Travelport Guarantor Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder, or for any failure of the Borrower or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender or participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent may from time to time use one or more outside service providers for the tracking of all UCC financing statements (and/or other collateral related filings and registrations from time to time) required to be filed or recorded pursuant to the Loan Documents or Travelport Guarantor Loan Documents and the notification to the Administrative Agent, of, among other things, the upcoming lapse or expiration thereof, and that each of such service providers will be deemed to be acting at the request and on behalf of the Borrower and Travelport Guarantor.
          Section 9.04 Reliance by Agents.

112


 

               (a) Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, electronic mail message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders.
               (b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 4.01 of the Original Credit Agreement or any corresponding Section of any amendment agreement with respect to this Agreement (including the First Amendment and Restatement Agreement), each Lender that has signed this Agreement or any such amendment agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the effectiveness of the proposed date of effectiveness of this Agreement or any such amendment agreement, as applicable, specifying its objection thereto.
          Section 9.05 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to any Event of Default as may be directed by the Required Lenders in accordance with Article VIII; provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.
          Section 9.06 Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Agents. Each Lender acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender represents to each Agent that it has, independently and without

113


 

reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by any Agent herein, such Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.
          Section 9.07 Indemnification of Agents. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting from such Agent-Related Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be required by the Loan Documents) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 9.07. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Liabilities, this Section 9.07 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower, provided that such reimbursement by the Lenders shall not affect the Borrower’s continuing reimbursement obligations with respect thereto. The undertaking in this Section 9.07 shall survive the payment of all other Obligations in respect of the Loans and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.
          Section 9.08 Agents in their Individual Capacities. Credit Suisse and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire Equity Interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with the Borrower and its Affiliates as though Credit Suisse were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The

114


 

Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Credit Suisse or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Borrower or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Borrower or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, Credit Suisse shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include Credit Suisse in its individual capacity.
          Section 9.09 Successor Agents. The Administrative Agent may resign as the Administrative Agent upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall be consented to by the Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a)(vii) or (viii) (which consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrower, a successor agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent,” shall mean such successor administrative agent and/or supplemental administrative agent, as the case may be, and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Administrative Agent shall be terminated. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 9 and Sections 10.04 and 10.05 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as the Administrative Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following the retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor and upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Required Extended Tranche A Lenders may request, in order to continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Escrow Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges, and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 9 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent.
          Section 9.10 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein

115


 

expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
               (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all Obligations with respect to the Loans that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.06 and 10.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
               (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agents and their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.06 and 10.04.
          Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations with respect to the Loans or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.
          Section 9.11 Other Agents; Arrangers and Managers. None of the Lenders or other Persons identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a “co-syndication agent,” “joint bookrunner” or “arranger” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders or other Persons so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders or other Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.
          Section 9.12 Appointment of Supplemental Administrative Agents.

116


 

               (a) It is the purpose of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that there shall be no violation of any Law of any jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as agent or trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in case of litigation under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and in particular in case of the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or in case the Administrative Agent deems that by reason of any present or future Law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the rights, powers or remedies granted herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or take any other action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to appoint an additional individual or institution selected by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion as a separate trustee, co-trustee, administrative agent, administrative sub-agent or administrative co-agent (any such additional individual or institution being referred to herein individually as a “Supplemental Administrative Agent” and collectively as “Supplemental Administrative Agents”).
               (b) In the event that the Administrative Agent appoints a Supplemental Administrative Agent with respect to the Escrowed Property and other Collateral, (i) each and every right, power, privilege or duty expressed or intended by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or Travelport Guarantor Loan Documents to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Administrative Agent with respect to such Escrowed Property or other Collateral shall be exercisable by and vest in such Supplemental Administrative Agent to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to enable such Supplemental Administrative Agent to exercise such rights, powers and privileges with respect to such Escrowed Property and other Collateral and to perform such duties with respect to such Escrowed Property and other Collateral, and every covenant and obligation contained in the Loan Documents and Travelport Guarantor Loan Documents and necessary to the exercise or performance thereof by such Supplemental Administrative Agent shall run to and be enforceable by either the Administrative Agent or such Supplemental Administrative Agent, and (ii) the provisions of this Article 9 and of Sections 10.04 and 10.05 that refer to the Administrative Agent shall inure to the benefit of such Supplemental Administrative Agent and all references therein to the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be references to the Administrative Agent and/or such Supplemental Administrative Agent, as the context may require.
               (c) Should any instrument in writing from the Borrower be required by any Supplemental Administrative Agent so appointed by the Administrative Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the Borrower shall execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent. In case any Supplemental Administrative Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental Administrative Agent, to the extent permitted by Law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Administrative Agent until the appointment of a new Supplemental Administrative Agent.
          Section 9.13 Escrowed Property Matters. The Extended Tranche A Lenders irrevocably agree that any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document or Travelport Guarantor Loan Document shall be automatically

117


 

released (i) upon the Settlement Date, (ii) at the time the property subject to such Lien is transferred or to be transferred as part of or in connection with any transfer permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document or Travelport Guarantor Loan Document to any Person other than the Borrower or Travelport Guarantor, or (iii) subject to Section 10.01, if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Extended Tranche A Lenders.
          Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Extended Tranche A Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property. In each case as specified in this Section 9.13, the Administrative Agent will (and each Extended Tranche A Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to), at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the Borrower such documents as the Borrower may reasonably request to evidence the release or subordination of such item of Escrowed Property or other Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Escrow Agreement, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, the Travelport Guarantor Loan Documents and this Section 9.13.
          Section 9.14 Voting. In the course of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Administrative Agent or of exercising any power conferred on the Administrative Agent in connection with the Second Lien Tranche A Loan held as Escrowed Property, in the event that the Administrative Agent is required or authorized to exercise voting or consent rights of “Lenders” under the Second Lien Credit Agreement or any agreements executed in connection therewith, a vote of the Extended Tranche A Lenders shall be held, and the Administrative Agent shall exercise such voting or consent rights in the same proportion as the vote of the Extended Tranche A Lenders

          Section 10.02 Notices and Other Communications; Facsimile Copies.
               (a) General. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be in writing (including by facsimile transmission). All such written notices shall be mailed, faxed or delivered to the applicable address, facsimile number or electronic mail address, and all notices and other communications expressly permitted hereunder to be given by telephone shall be made to the applicable telephone number, as follows:
                    (i) if to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to the address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number specified for such Person on Schedule 10.02 or to such other address, facsimile number, electronic mail address or telephone number as shall be designated by such party in a notice to the other parties; and

In no event shall a voice mail message be effective as a notice, communication or confirmation hereunder. Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including electronic mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to

121


 

procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Article II if such Lender has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in their discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by them, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.
          The Borrower hereby agrees, unless directed otherwise by the Administrative Agent or unless the electronic mail address referred to below has not been provided by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, that it will, or will cause its Subsidiaries to, provide to the Administrative Agent all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents or to the Lenders under Article VI, including all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such communication that (a) is or relates to a notice pursuant to Section 2.02, (b) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due under this Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor, (c) provides notice of any Default or Event of Default under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (d) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement and/or any Loans or other extension of credit hereunder (all such non-excluded communications being referred to herein collectively as “Communications”), by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium that is properly identified in a format acceptable to the Administrative Agent to an electronic mail address as directed by the Administrative Agent. In addition, the Borrower agrees, and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries, to continue to provide the Communications to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, as the case may be, in the manner specified in the Loan Documents but only to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent.
          The Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent will make available to the Lenders materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder (collectively, the “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on Intralinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). The Borrower hereby agrees that (i) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (ii) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 10.08); (iii) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated as “Public Investor;” and (iv) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as “Public Investor.” Notwithstanding the

122


 

foregoing, the following Borrower Materials shall be marked “PUBLIC”, unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent promptly that any such document contains material non-public information: (A) the Loan Documents and (B) notification of changes in the terms of the Loan Documents.
          Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including United States Federal and state securities laws, to make reference to Communications that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws.
          THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES WARRANTS THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS IS MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO THE BORROWER, ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER OR NOT BASED ON STRICT LIABILITY AND INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF THE BORROWER’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LIABILITY OF ANY SUCH PERSON IS FOUND IN A FINAL RULING BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED PRIMARILY FROM SUCH PERSON’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE, BAD FAITH OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.
          The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees that receipt of notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to

123


 

time of such Lender’s e-mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address.
          Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.
               (b) Effectiveness of Facsimile Documents and Signatures. Loan Documents may be transmitted and/or signed by facsimile. The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable Law, have the same force and effect as manually signed originals and shall be binding on the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders.
               (c) Reliance by Agents and Lenders. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic Committed Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Borrower shall indemnify each Agent-Related Person and each Lender from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct. All telephonic notices to the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.
          Section 10.03 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by any Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and provided under each other Loan Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Law.
          Section 10.04 Attorney Costs, Expenses and Taxes. The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Co-Syndication Agents, and the Arrangers for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, syndication and execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any amendment, waiver, consent or other modification of the provisions hereof and thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby are consummated), and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including all Attorney Costs of Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP, and (b) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Co-Syndication Agents, the Arrangers and each Lender for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of any rights or remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including all such costs and expenses incurred during any legal proceeding, including any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, and including all

124


 

Attorney Costs of counsel to the Administrative Agent). The agreements in this Section 10.04 shall survive the repayment of all other Obligations in respect of the Loans. All amounts due under this Section 10.04 shall be paid within ten (10) Business Days of receipt by the Borrower of an invoice relating thereto setting forth such expenses in reasonable detail. If the Borrower fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it hereunder or under any Loan Document, such amount may be paid on behalf of the Borrower by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.
          Section 10.05 Indemnification by the Borrower. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person, each Lender and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents, trustees, investment advisors and attorneys-in-fact (collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including Attorney Costs) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with (a) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of any Loan Document or any other agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (b) any Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, or (c) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or (d) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the negligence of the Indemnitee; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or of any affiliate, director, officer, employee, counsel, agent or attorney-in-fact of such Indemnitee. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement, nor shall any Indemnitee or the Borrower have any liability for any special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Original Closing Date). In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 10.05 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower, its directors, stockholders or creditors or an Indemnitee or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents is consummated. All amounts due under this Section 10.05 shall be paid within ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor; provided, however, that such Indemnitee shall promptly refund such amount to the extent that there is a final judicial or arbitral determination that such Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification or contribution rights with respect to such payment pursuant

125


 

to the express terms of this Section 10.05. The agreements in this Section 10.05 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations in respect of the Loans.
          Section 10.06 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to any Agent or any Lender, or any Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by any Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.
          Section 10.07 Successors and Assigns.
               (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(e), (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.07(g) or (iv) to an SPC in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(h) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 10.07(e) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
               (b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (“Assignees”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:
                    (A) the Borrower, provided that (i) no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a)(i), (ii), (vii) or (viii) has occurred and is continuing, any Assignee and (ii) such consent shall be

126


 

deemed given in the event that the Borrower does not respond to a request to assign Loans within five Business Days; and
                    (B) the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Loan to another Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.
               (ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:
                    (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Loans of any Class, the amount of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents, provided that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required (x) during the primary syndication of the Loans to Persons identified to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent prior to the Restatement Effective Date or (y) if an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a)(i), (ii) (vii) or (viii) has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Affiliates or Approved Funds, if any; provided, further, that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within seven (7) Business Days after having received notice thereof;
                    (B) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent (or, if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually), and shall pay to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent); and

127


 

                    (C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and any applicable tax form.
          This paragraph (b) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Classes of Loans on a non-pro rata basis.
               (c) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.07(d), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, 10.04 and 10.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, and the surrender by the assigning Lender of its Note, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this clause (c) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.07(e).
               (d) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of the Loans owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, any Agent and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
               (e) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents

128


 

and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in Section 10.01(b) or (c) that directly affects such Participant. Subject to Section 10.07(f), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.07(c). To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.09 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.10 as though it were a Lender.
               (f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent.
               (g) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
               (h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an “SPC”) the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05), (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the lender of record hereunder. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the commitment of the Granting Lender to make Loans hereunder to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee of $3,500, assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding

               (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (1) any Lender may in accordance with applicable Law create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it and (2) any Lender that is a Fund may create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it to the trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Fund as security for such obligations or securities; provided that unless and until such trustee actually becomes a Lender in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 10.07, (i) no such pledge shall release the pledging Lender from any of its obligations under the Loan Documents and (ii) such trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Lender under the Loan Documents even though such trustee may have acquired ownership rights with respect to the pledged interest through foreclosure or otherwise.
          Section 10.08 Confidentiality. Each of the Agents and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information, except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees, trustees, numbering, administrative and settlement service providers, investment advisors and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent requested by any Governmental Authority; (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party to this Agreement; (e) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.08 (or as may otherwise be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower), to any pledgee referred to in Section 10.07(g), counterparty to a Swap Contract, Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any rights or obligations under this Agreement; (f) with the written consent of the Borrower; (g) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.08; (h) to any Governmental Authority or examiner (including the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization) regulating any Lender; (i) to any rating agency when required by it (it being understood that, prior to any such disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any Information relating to the Borrower received by it from such Lender); or (j) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder. In addition, the Agents and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Loans.

          Section 10.09 Setoff. Subject to Section 8.10, in addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender and its Affiliates is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being waived by the Borrower to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other Indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender and its Affiliates, as the case may be, to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries against any and all Obligations in respect of the Loans owing to such Lender and its Affiliates hereunder or under any other Loan Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not such Agent or such Lender or Affiliate shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations in respect of the Loans may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or Indebtedness. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set off and application made by such Lender; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent and each Lender under this Section 10.09 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Administrative Agent and such Lender may have.
          Section 10.10 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If any Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by an Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations in respect of the Loans hereunder.
          Section 10.11 Counterparts. This Agreement and each other Loan Document may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by telecopier or other electronic image transmission (e.g. “PDF” or “TIF” via electronic mail) of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement and each other Loan Document shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement and such other Loan Document. The Agents may also require that any such documents and signatures delivered by telecopier be confirmed by a manually signed original thereof; provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature delivered by telecopier.
          Section 10.12 Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other

131


 

Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Agents or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.
          Section 10.13 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by each Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by any Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that any Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time any Loans were made, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.
          Section 10.14 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby.

               (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
               (b) ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK CITY OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF SUCH STATE, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE BORROWER, EACH AGENT AND EACH LENDER CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS. THE BORROWER, EACH AGENT AND EACH LENDER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR OTHER DOCUMENT RELATED THERETO.

          Section 10.18 Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of each Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent from any Borrower in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or the Person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent in such currency, the Administrative Agent agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable Law).

Each Lender agrees that it shall not take or institute any actions or proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for any right or remedy against the Borrower under any of the Loan Documents (including the exercise of any right of setoff, rights on account of any banker’s lien or similar claim or other rights of self-help), or institute any

Each Extended Tranche A Lender agrees that, other than any action to compel the consummation of the Escrow Exchange, it shall not take or institute any actions or proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for any right or remedy against Travelport Guarantor under any of the Travelport Guarantor Loan Documents (including the exercise of any right of setoff, rights on account of any banker’s lien or similar claim or other rights of self-help), or institute any actions or proceedings, or otherwise commence any remedial procedures, with respect to any property of Travelport Guarantor, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the consent of the Required Extended Tranche A Lenders. The provision of this Section 10.19 are for the sole benefit of the Lenders and shall not afford any right to, or constitute a defense available to, the Borrower.
          Section 10.20 USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act.

9.   Consent and Approval Rights. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any consent or approval rights reserved herein for the Requisite Consenting Lenders, including but not limited to the Requisite Consenting Lenders’ rights to approve the form and substance of certain of the Restructuring Documents, may not be exercised by the Requisite Consenting Lenders in a manner

13


 

    that would adversely effect in any material respect or disproportionately effect, in either case, the treatment under the Restructuring Documents afforded to a Consenting Lender who is not also a Requisite Consenting Lender.
10.   No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be solely for the benefit of the parties hereto and no other person or entity shall be a third-party beneficiary hereof.
 
11.   Successors and Assigns; Several Obligations. This Agreement is intended to bind and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective permitted successors, assigns, heirs, executors, estates, administrators and representatives. The agreements, representations and obligations of the Consenting Lenders under this Agreement are, in all respects, several and not joint.
 
12.   Restrictions on Transfer. Each Consenting Lender agrees that, as long as this Agreement has not terminated in accordance with its terms, it shall not sell, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of any Claims, or any option thereon or any right or interest (voting or otherwise) in any or all of its Claims (including, without limitation, any participation therein), unless (i) the transferee, participant or other party (A) is a Consenting Lender, (B) is an affiliate of a Consenting Lender that complies with the requirement of clause (C), or (C) agrees in writing to assume and be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement with respect to all Claims such transferee, participant or other party currently holds or shall acquire in the future by executing the Joinder attached hereto as Exhibit B (such transferee, participant or other party, if any, to also be a “Consenting Lender” hereunder), and (ii) the transferor complies with any applicable transfer restrictions and/or conditions to transfer set forth herein and in the PIK Credit Agreement. If a transferee of any of the Claims is not a Consenting Lender or does not execute a Joinder in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B prior to or contemporaneously with the completion of such transfer, participation or other grant, then such sale, transfer, assignment or other disposition of the Claims or related option, right or interest shall be deemed void ab initio. This Agreement shall in no way be construed to preclude any Consenting Lender from acquiring additional Claims against the Company; provided, however, that any such additional holdings shall automatically be deemed to be subject to all of the terms of this Agreement and each such Consenting Lender agrees that such additional Claims shall be subject to this Agreement and that it shall vote (or cause to be voted) any such additional Claims in a manner consistent with this Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of any order of any court, each Consenting Lender agrees to provide to counsel for the Company and the other Consenting Lender(s) (i) a copy of any Joinder and (ii) a notice of the acquisition of any additional Claims, in each case within five (5) business days of the consummation of the transaction disposing of, or acquiring, Claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any transferee Lender that specifies in the documentation executed in connection with the transfer of all or any of its Claims that it is acting as a “Riskless Principal,” as such term is defined by the Loan Syndications and Trading Association in its Standard Terms and Conditions for Distressed Trade Confirmations shall not be required to execute the Joinder annexed hereto as Exhibit B in connection with such transfer; provided, however, that any subsequent transferee Lender of such “Riskless Principal” shall be required to execute the Joinder annexed hereto as Exhibit B.
 
13.   Entire Agreement. As of the date this Agreement becomes effective, this Agreement, including the attachments hereto, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided, however,

14


 

    that the parties acknowledge and agree that any confidentiality agreements heretofore executed between the Company and any Consenting Lender shall continue in full force and effect.
14.   Independent Analysis. Each Consenting Lender hereby confirms that it has made its own decision to execute this Agreement based upon its own independent assessment of documents and information available to it, as it has deemed appropriate.
 
15.   Representation by Counsel. Each Party acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to be represented by counsel in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Accordingly, any rule of law or any legal decision that would provide any Party with a defense to the enforcement of the terms of this Agreement against such Party based upon lack of legal counsel, shall have no application and is expressly waived.
 
16.   Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial.
  (a)   The Parties waive all right to trial by jury in any jurisdiction in any action, suit, or proceeding brought to resolve any dispute between them, whether sounding in contract, tort or otherwise, arising under this Agreement.
 
  (b)   This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws that would require the application of the law of any other jurisdiction. Each Party hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any New York state court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York or any federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York in respect of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and irrevocably accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. Each Party irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Nothing herein shall affect the right of any Party to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against any other party in any other jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing consent to New York jurisdiction, (i) if any chapter 11 proceeding is commenced by the Company, each Party agrees that the bankruptcy court of the Southern District of New York or such other bankruptcy court reasonably determined by the Company in consultation with the Initial Consenting Lenders to be a proper venue for a chapter 11 filing, shall have exclusive jurisdiction of all matters arising out of or in connection with this Agreement to the extent permitted by law, or (ii) if a Scheme of Arrangement is commenced by the Company in consultation with the Initial Consenting Lenders, each Party agrees that the Supreme Court of Bermuda shall have exclusive jurisdiction of all matters arising out of or in connection with this Agreement to the extent permitted by law.
17.   No Admissions. This Agreement shall in no event be construed as, or deemed to be evidence of, an admission or concession on the part of any Party of any claim or fault or liability or damages whatsoever. Each of the Parties denies any and all wrongdoing or liability of any kind and does not concede any infirmity in the claims and defenses which it has asserted or could assert. No Party shall have, by reason of this Agreement, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any other Party or any person or entity, or the Company, and nothing in this Agreement, expressed or

15


 

    implied, is intended to, or shall be so construed as to, impose upon any Party any obligations in respect of this Agreement except as expressly set forth herein.
18.   Acknowledgment. This Agreement is not and shall not be deemed to be a solicitation of consents to the Plan. The acceptance of each of the Consenting Lenders will not be solicited until the Consenting Lenders have received the Disclosure Statement related to the Plan and related ballot.
 
19.   Fiduciary Duties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Agreement shall require the Shareholder Party, Worldwide, the Company or their respective affiliated entities or any directors, managers or officers of the Shareholder Party, Worldwide, the Company or their respective affiliated entities, in such person’s capacity as a director, manager or officer of the Shareholder Party, Worldwide, the Company or their respective affiliated entities, to take any action, or to refrain from taking any action, to the extent required to comply with its or their fiduciary obligations under applicable law.
 
20.   Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, and may be delivered physically, or by facsimile, pdf or other electronic means, with the same effect as if all parties had signed the same document and delivered a manually executed counterpart thereof. All such counterparts shall be deemed an original, shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same instrument.
 
21.   Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only as broad as is enforceable.
 
22.   Remedies. All remedies that are available at law or in equity, including specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief, to any Party for a breach of this Agreement by another Party shall be available to the non-breaching Party; provided, however, that if there is a breach of the Agreement by a Party, money damages shall be an insufficient remedy to the other Parties hereto, and the other Parties hereto can seek specific performance as against another Party; provided further that in connection with any remedy asserted in connection with this Agreement, each Party agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of a bond in connection with any remedy. All rights, powers and remedies provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity shall be cumulative and not alternative, and the exercise of any right, power or remedy thereof by any Party shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise of any other such right, power or remedy by such Party or any other Party.
 
23.   Headings. The headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation hereof.
 
24.   Prior Negotiations. This Agreement supersedes all prior negotiations with respect to the subject matter hereof.
 
25.   Public Disclosures. To the extent reasonably practicable, the Company will submit to the Consenting Lenders and the Shareholder Party all press releases and public filings relating to this Agreement, the Plan, Scheme of Arrangement or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and any amendments thereof reasonably prior to their release or filing as the case may be.

16


 

    The Company shall not (a) use the name of any Consenting Lender in any press release without such Consenting Lender’s prior written consent or (b) disclose the holdings of such Consenting Lender to any person; provided, however, that the Company shall be permitted to disclose at any time the aggregate principal amount of and aggregate percentage of Claims held by the Consenting Lenders or as otherwise required by the Bankruptcy Code, the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure or order of the bankruptcy court in the Chapter 11 Case or as required in the Bermuda Proceeding.
 
26.   Waiver. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, nothing herein is intended to, or does, in any manner waive, limit, impair, or restrict any right of any Consenting Lender or the ability of each Consenting Lender to protect and preserve its rights, remedies, and interests, including, without limitation, its claims against or interests in the Company. If the Restructuring is not consummated, or if this Agreement is terminated for any reason, the Parties fully reserve any and all of their rights. Pursuant to Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and any other applicable rules of evidence, this Agreement and all negotiations relating hereto shall not be admissible into evidence in any proceeding other than a proceeding to enforce its terms.
27.   Notice. Any notices or other communications required or permitted under, or otherwise in connection with, this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered in person or upon confirmation of receipt when transmitted by facsimile transmission or by email or on receipt after dispatch by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, or on the next business day if transmitted by national overnight courier, addressed in each case as follows:

EXHIBIT A
Term Sheet


 

Restructuring Term Sheet
The terms set forth below do not constitute a binding agreement and are solely for the purpose of outlining the principal terms of a potential restructuring of the Holdco PIK Loans of Travelport Holdings Limited (“Holdco”) and covenants in the Opco Credit Facility of Travelport LLC (“Opco”). Any final agreement is subject to execution of definitive documentation that is mutually acceptable to the parties. This term sheet is intended solely to facilitate discussions and is a confidential settlement communication which may not be relied upon or introduced into evidence in any legal proceeding.
Restructuring of Holdco PIK Loans
                     
Second Lien Opco Term Loan   4   Opco will issue a new term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $342.5 million (consisting of a $207.5 million Tranche A Loan and a $135 million Tranche B Loan) on the terms set forth below
 
                   
 
      Ÿ   Maturity: December 1, 2016        
 
                   
 
      Ÿ   Interest Rate: LIBOR + 6.00%, payable in cash or PIK as required under “Second Lien PIK Toggle” below on a cumulative quarterly basis.        
 
                   
 
      Ÿ   Security / Seniority: (a) The Second Lien Opco Term Loan shall be secured on a second priority basis by substantially the same assets securing the existing Opco Credit Facility (but in no event on any assets that do not secure the Opco Credit Facility), and shall be guaranteed, on a secured second priority basis, by the same entities that guarantee the Opco Credit Facility (but in no event by any entity that does not guarantee the Opco Credit Facility), to the extent practicable. (b) Travelport (as defined below) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that, to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to no material adverse tax, regulatory or legal consequences and to the extent the same is pledged to support the Opco Credit Facility on a first lien basis, the obligations and guarantees under the Second Lien Opco Term Loan will be secured by the pledge of (i) 100% of the equity interests of each direct wholly owned foreign subsidiary of Travelport (to the extent not already subject to a 100% pledge), and (ii) 65% of the issued and outstanding voting equity interests of any foreign subsidiary that is directly owned by any Guarantor (other than Travelport) and by 100% of the issued and outstanding non-voting equity interests of each such direct wholly owned foreign subsidiary (and together constituting 100% of the economic equity interests of such subsidiary). (c) In addition, Travelport and its Restricted Subsidiaries will use commercially reasonable best efforts to cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries that are not required to provide guarantees or liens and pursuant to clause (a) or (b) above to provide guarantees and liens (to lenders under the Opco Credit Facility on a first priority basis and to lenders of the Second Lien Opco Term Loan on a second priority basis) to the extent permitted under applicable law and subject to there being no material adverse tax, regulatory or legal consequences therefrom if (i) the total assets of such Restricted Subsidiary exceed $2.5 million as of the date of the most recent financial information prepared for such Restricted Subsidiary and (ii) there are minority equity holders at such Restricted Subsidiary or pledges or liens on the assets of such Restricted Subsidiary or any other arrangement that would prevent the economic value of such Restricted Subsidiary from being available to Opco’s lenders in an Insolvency Proceeding (as defined below) of Opco. Commercially reasonable best efforts shall include appropriate amendments to charters and/or the interposition of intermediate holding companies in furtherance of the foregoing.        
 
                   
 
      Ÿ   Covenants / Events of Default: The Second Lien Opco Term Loan shall have substantially the same covenants and events of default as the existing Opco Credit Facility, as the same is amended in connection with the transactions described herein, except no financial maintenance covenants. Other baskets will be set with 30% cushions (excluding the debt incurrence covenant).        
 
                   
 
      Ÿ   Voluntary Prepayments: The Second Lien Opco Term Loan may be paid prior to maturity at par at all times. Voluntary prepayments on the Second Lien Opco Term Loan may only be made after the First Lien Loans have been paid in full and there are no commitments or letters of credit outstanding under the Opco Credit Facility (unless fully collateralized).        
 
                   
 
      Ÿ   Mandatory Prepayments: Mandatory prepayments on the Second Lien Opco Term Loan

          shall not be permitted until the First Lien Loans have been paid in full and there are no commitments or letters of credit outstanding under the Opco Credit Facility (unless fully collateralized).        
 
                   
Distribution of Cash and Second Lien Opco Term Loan   4   On or before the final consummation of the transactions described herein (the “Closing Date”), Opco will sell $342.5 million aggregate principal amount of Second Lien Opco Tranche A and Tranche B Term Loans to Travelport Limited (“Travelport”) in exchange for a subordinated promissory note issued by Travelport on terms reasonably acceptable to the Lockup Parties (as defined below).
 
                   
    4   On or before the Closing Date, Travelport will dividend $89.5 million of cash and $207.5 million of the Second Lien Opco Tranche A Term Loan to Holdco as a restricted payment.
 
                   
Investment of Second Lien Opco Term Loan   4   On or before the Closing Date, Travelport will invest the remaining $135 million of Second Lien Opco Term Loan in a new (bankruptcy remote) unrestricted subsidiary (the “New Unrestricted Subsidiary”). Such New Unrestricted Subsidiary shall have at least one independent director, chosen by the Requisite Consenting Lenders (as defined in the RSA (as defined below)).
 
                   
Guaranty by New Unrestricted Subsidiary; Escrow Arrangement   4   On the Closing Date, the New Unrestricted Subsidiary shall guarantee the Tranche A Extended Holdco PIK Loan and pledge all of its assets to secure such guarantee. In addition, the New Unrestricted Subsidiary will enter into an escrow arrangement with holders of the Tranche A Extended PIK Loan pursuant to which the escrow agent (who will be chosen by the Requisite Consenting Lenders and reasonably acceptable to Holdco) will hold the Second Lien Opco Term Loan for the benefit of the Tranche A Extended Holdco PIK Loan holders. Unless the outstanding Tranche A Extended PIK Loan, together with all interest and other amounts owing with respect thereto, is paid in cash in full on the maturity date or any earlier due date thereof, the escrowed Second Lien Opco Term Loan, and all other property and amounts held in such escrow, will be released to holders of the Tranche A Extended PIK Loan on such due date to satisfy all outstanding obligations due and owing under the Tranche A Extended PIK Loan on such date; any remaining Second Lien Opco Term Loans in escrow will be returned to the New Unrestricted Subsidiary.
 
                   
Intercreditor Agreement   4   The administrative agent and collateral agent under the Second Lien Opco Term Loan will enter into an Intercreditor Agreement with the administrative agent and collateral agent under the Opco Credit Facility which shall provide for a “silent second lien”. “Silent” provisions to include first lien control of all aspects of a bankruptcy, including consent to amount and terms of any priming loans, use of cash collateral and sale of collateral (through 363 sale, plan or otherwise). The Intercreditor Agreement shall provide for (i) an explicit waiver of second-lien right to object to sale of collateral (or manner of sale, including bid procedures) in an Insolvency Proceeding and consent of second-lien lenders to any 363 sale (or sale procedures) approved by the first lien lenders, (ii) a waiver by second lien lenders of their right to assert any rights as an unsecured lender if they are prohibited from exercising the same rights as secured lenders (including objections to 363 sales), (iii) a no competing DIP facility from second lien lenders provision (unless DIP facility takes out first lien in its entirety or consented to by a majority of first lien lenders), (iv) an explicit agreement of second lien lenders not to contest the enforceability of any provision of the Intercreditor Agreement, (v) to the extent permitted by applicable law, no second lien lender will sponsor or agree to fund or otherwise facilitate or support or vote for any restructuring plan of any obligor that does not pay the first lien lenders in full in cash without the consent of a majority of the first lien lenders, (vi) no second lien lender will raise or support any objections to a restructuring plan of any obligor on the basis that such plan provides the first lien lenders with an excessive interest rate on any reorganization debt, and (vii) an “X-Clause”, provided that any securities retained by second lien lenders must be PIK/no amortization/no cash payment entitlement of any sort prior to cash payment in full of any securities received by the first lien lenders and such “X-Clause” shall not apply in the case of any plan where the first lien lenders have voted to reject the restructuring plan but have been crammed up or crammed down. In addition to the foregoing, the Intercreditor Agreement shall contain provisions substantially in the form set forth on Exhibit A.
 
                   
Cash Paydown of Holdco PIK Loan   4   On the Closing Date, $85 million of the $89.5 million cash dividend to Holdco will be used to paydown, on a pro rata basis, the existing Holdco PIK Loan.

Conversion of Second Lien Opco Term Loan
  4   Upon a one-time request (a “Request”) given no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days after the Closing Date by the holders of not less than a majority of the Second Lien Opco Term Loans, excluding those held by the New Unrestricted Subsidiary, which Request will be irrevocable, Opco will consummate, within 30 days of the Request, a conversion (the “Bond Conversion”) of the Second Lien Opco Term Loan for newly issued private-for-life bonds (the “Second Lien Opco Bonds”) to be governed by an indenture that contains substantially the same covenants, representations, events of default and remedies as the Second Lien Opco Term Loan, plus such provisions as are necessary to comply with the TIA.
 
       
 
  4   Upon the commencement of the Bond Conversion, the OpCo shall provide notice of the Bond Conversion to each Second Lien Opco Term Loan lender and the loans held by such lenders shall be converted to the Second Lien Opco Bonds on the Consummation Date (as defined below), unless a lender notifies Opco in writing within 3 business days of the commencement of the Bond Conversion of its intent to not participate in the Bond Conversion (the “Opt-out Notice”).

  4   The Second Lien Opco Term Loan and the related security agreements will provide that upon the consummation of the Bond Conversion the restrictive covenants and related events of default and the security interest in collateral will fall away in any remaining Second Lien Opco Term Loan that has not been converted and such Second Lien Opco Term Loan will no longer be secured or have the benefit of customary restrictive covenants or related events of default. The Second Lien Opco Bonds will be secured by and shall have the benefit of all collateral, guarantees and other credit support that was applicable to the Second Lien Opco Term Loan.
 
       
Required Participation
  4   100%; provided however, if the contemplated restructuring (the “Restructuring”) cannot be completed on a fully consensual basis by September 26, 2011 (or such later date as shall be agreed to by the Lockup Parties), upon receipt of the Required Consents,1 then the Restructuring shall be implemented forthwith by means of a “pre-packaged” plan of reorganization for Holdco under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101 et seq with effectiveness to occur no later than the earlier of (i) 60 days after filing the chapter 11 case and (ii) December 6, 2011, or such later date as shall be agreed to by the Lockup Parties.
 
       
Equity Participation
  4   The Holdco PIK Loan Holders will receive as partial consideration for the Restructuring, and the transactions contemplated thereby, their pro rata share of 40% (such amount, together with any additional shares issued in accordance with the provisions below, the “New Equity Shares,” and such holders, together with their transferees, successors and assigns as permitted under the terms set forth in this term sheet, in their capacity as holders of the New Equity Shares, the “New Equity Holders”) of the fully diluted issued and outstanding equity of Travelport Worldwide Limited (“Worldwide”), the direct parent of Holdco, on the Closing Date (such issued and outstanding equity, the “Worldwide Shares”, subject, pro rata together with all other outstanding shares, to dilution by newly issued equity to active members of management under a management incentive plan (the “Management Shares”), on terms approved by the board of directors of Worldwide and at

    least one independent director designated by the New Equity Holders, of up to 5% of the Worldwide Shares on a fully diluted basis). On the Closing Date, 25% of the Worldwide Shares subject to redemption as set forth below will be issued into a third party escrow account with an escrow agent chosen by the Requisite Consenting Lenders and reasonably acceptable to Worldwide, and 15% of the Worldwide Shares will be issued directly to the New Equity Holders. Any dividends, distributions or other consideration received in respect of the New Equity Shares held in the escrow account, will similarly be held in the escrow account. Issuance of New Equity Shares is subject to (i) the approval of the Bermudan Monetary Authority (“BMA Approval”) for all holders who will hold 5% or more of the issued and outstanding shares of Worldwide and to notification of the identity of all holders below that threshold2 and (ii) receipt of customary private placement representations and warranties. The New Equity Holders will provide NewCo a voting proxy covering the New Equity Shares held in the escrow account. If BMA Approval is not granted for any particular Holdco PIK Loan Holder or for the equity escrow agent, (i) the New Equity Shares that would otherwise be issued to such holder(s) or the equity escrow agent, as applicable, will instead be issued into an escrow account (any dividends, distributions or other consideration received in respect of the New Equity Shares held in the escrow account, will similarly be held in the escrow account), (ii) notwithstanding any such non-approval by the BMA, the issuance of the New Equity Shares shall nonetheless be deemed effective, and (iii) such New Equity Shares (along with any dividends, distributions or other consideration received) will be later distributed to such Holdco PIK Loan Holder(s) or the equity escrow agent or such transferees of same as permitted pursuant to the Shareholders’ Agreement on such later date when BMA Approval is obtained; provided further however, in the event BMA Approval is not obtained within three months following the Closing Date such undistributed New Equity Shares shall be reallocated and distributed to the Holdco PIK Loan Holders that have received BMA Approval on a pro rata basis.
 
4   If either the Extended Holdco PIK Loans are not paid in full, or an IPO, sale, amalgamation or merger transaction that will result in the Extended Holdco PIK Loans, and all other amounts owing in respect thereof or pursuant to the documentation governing such Extended Holdco PIK Loans, being paid in full in cash (“ Extended Holdco PIK Loan Repayment”) is not announced, prior to the following dates, or if so announced prior to such date, is not consummated with such Extended Holdco PIK Loan Repayment being consummated as provided within the time frames set forth below, then an amount of equity held in the escrow account, together with any dividend, distribution, and other consideration received in respect thereof shall be released pro-rata to the New Equity Holders who held the New Equity Shares as of the Closing Date (the “Original New Equity Holders”), or upon written notice from any Original New Equity Holder to Worldwide and the escrow agent specifying permitted transferees or assigns of New Equity Shares of such Original New Equity Holder, to such permitted transferees or assigns, as follows:
    March 31, 2012: 10%; thereby bringing the total equity then held3 by New Equity Holders to 25% of the Worldwide Shares (subject to dilution, pro rata with all other outstanding shares, by issuance of the Management Shares)
 
    September 30, 2012: 5%; thereby bringing the total equity then held by New Equity Holders to 30% of the Worldwide Shares (subject to dilution, pro rata with all other outstanding shares, by issuance of the Management Shares)
 
    March 31, 2013: 5%; thereby bringing the total equity then held by New Equity Holders to 35% of the Worldwide Shares (subject to dilution, pro rata with all other outstanding shares, by issuance of the Management Shares)
 
    September 30, 2013: 5%; thereby bringing the total equity then held by New Equity Holders to 40% of the Worldwide Shares (subject to dilution, pro rata with all other outstanding shares, by issuance of the Management Shares)
    All shares vesting in accordance with the schedule above shall, upon such vesting, be released


 
2   An alternative arrangement reasonably acceptable to Holdco and the Lockup Parties shall be implemented if such approval is not obtained.
 
3   Throughout this term sheet, any New Equity Shares or other Worldwide equity “then held” by the New Equity Holders shall exclude any New Equity Shares held in escrow.

    to the New Equity Holders from the escrow account together with all dividends, distributions and other consideration received in respect thereof. Any shares still held in escrow following the Extended Holdco PIK Loan Repayment shall be repurchased by NewCo for no additional consideration, and all dividends, distributions and other consideration received in respect of such shares shall be returned to NewCo.
 
  If such Extended Holdco PIK Loan Repayment has not occurred by September 30, 2013, an additional number of the Worldwide Shares (the “Additional Shares”) will be issued on a pro rata basis to the Original New Equity Holders (or upon written notice from any Original New Equity Holder to Worldwide and the escrow agent specifying permitted transferees or assigns of New Equity Shares of such Original New Equity Holder, to such permitted transferees or assigns), thereby bringing the total equity held by New Equity Holders to 44% of the Worldwide Shares (subject to dilution, pro rata with all other outstanding shares, by issuance of the Management Shares), provided that the total amount of the Additional Shares issued shall be reduced to the extent necessary, in the reasonable opinion of tax counsel, in order to prevent an “ownership change” within the meaning of Section 382(g) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), with respect to Worldwide, prior to the consummation of a sale, merger, amalgamation or IPO transaction (an “Ownership Change”). To the extent the full amount of the Additional Shares are not issued pursuant to the preceding sentence, (a) the New Equity Holders will be issued such shares that have not yet been issued or receive an amount equal to the fair market value of such shares upon the earlier of the first date on which such shares can be issued without causing an Ownership Change or the consummation of a sale, merger, amalgamation or IPO transaction, respectively, unless, solely in the case of the issuance of the Additional Shares (and not in the case of payment of the fair market value of such shares), in the reasonable opinion of tax counsel it would cause an Ownership Change; and (b) until such time as all of the Additional Shares are issued or payment with respect to such shares is made, in each case pursuant to clause (a) above, Worldwide shall use its best reasonable efforts to prevent any “owner shift” or “equity structure shift” within the meaning of Section 382(g) of the Code with respect to Worldwide. In the event that the Majority Shareholder takes any action, directly or indirectly, to cause an Ownership Change, the Additional Shares will be promptly issued as described above.
 
  If the subject IPO is not closed within 3 months from the announcement date, resulting in an Extended Holdco PIK Loan Repayment within such period, then the ratchet schedule above will resume, and the release of shares from escrow contemplated above will be made, as if no announcement had been made subject to automatic one-time 3 month extension for SEC approval or other applicable securities regulatory approval if the necessary approval is actively being sought using commercially reasonable best efforts but no decision has yet been made by the SEC or other applicable securities regulatory agency to approve.
 
  If a subject sale, amalgamation or merger, in each case which will result in an Extended Holdco PIK Loan Repayment, is announced (i) prior to March 31, 2012 but is not closed (with consummation of the Extended Holdco PIK Loan Repayment) prior to October 31, 2012, or (ii) after March 31, 2012 but is not closed (with consummation of the Extended Holdco PIK Loan Repayment) prior to 6 months following the announcement of the sale, amalgamation or merger, then in both circumstances, the ratchet schedule will resume, and the release of shares from escrow contemplated above will be made, as if no announcement had been made; provided however, that these closing deadlines are subject to an automatic one-time 3-month extension if necessary regulatory approval of the sale, amalgamation or merger is actively being sought using commercially reasonable best efforts but no decision has yet been made by the regulatory agency to approve or block the transaction; provided further however, in no case, may the time period between announcement and closing with respect to clause (i) above exceed 365 days and with respect to clause (ii) above exceed 270 days, before the ratchet schedule will resume, and the release of shares from escrow contemplated above will be made as if no announcement had been made; provided further however, that in any event, if and when any sale, amalgamation or merger is consummated which results in an Extended Holdco PIK Loan Repayment, the ratchet schedule above will stop.

By accepting the New Equity Shares, each New Equity Holder agrees to cooperate in good faith to achieve Non-Recognition Treatment with respect to an IPO Transaction, but in no event will the foregoing be deemed to obligate such New Equity Holder to take any action if, in its good faith belief such action would have an adverse effect on such New Equity Holder or its investment in Worldwide.

    Drag-along right: The Majority Shareholder has the right to compel a sale of the New Equity Shares pro rata and such sale is triggered upon acceptance by the Majority Shareholder of an offer to purchase at least a majority of shares or equity interest of Worldwide or an Upper Tier Entity; provided that such transfer is to a non-affiliated party and all shareholders are treated equally in the transaction (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any payment of customary and bona fide advisory fees paid to certain shareholders for actual services rendered pursuant to (i) an agreement entered into by such shareholder and Worldwide which agreement has been approved pursuant to the New Equity Holder Approval Rights described above or (ii) an agreement entered into by such shareholder and an Upper Tier Entity which agreement has been approved by the board of directors of Worldwide (including at least one independent director designated by the New Equity Holders)).

If the two valuations differ by less than 10% then the average of the two valuations will be used. If the two valuations differ by more than 10%, a third financial expert will be selected by the two previously selected financial experts and the valuation used will be the one closest to the appraisal obtained from the third financial expert. The transaction giving rise to the drag-along rights shall be subject to approval rights, if any, set forth under “New Equity Holder Approval Rights” above.
 
    Right of First Offer: In the event that any New Equity Holder offers, or intends to offer, to transfer the New Equity Shares held by it (the “Transfer Shares”) to any person (other than another New Equity Holder or an affiliate of any New Equity Holder), then such New Equity Holder will, prior to consummation of any such transfer or proposed transfer, give to NewCo notice thereof not less than ten business days prior to such offer, and NewCo or its designated affiliate (the “Purchaser”) shall have the right to offer to purchase the Transfer Shares at a price specified by it within ten days of receipt of notice of such proposed transfer. The New Equity Holders may only sell the Transfer Shares to a third party within 30 days of receipt of the Purchaser’s offer to purchase for a price at least 2% greater than that offered by the Purchaser without first offering such Transfer Shares to the Purchaser. If no such sale is consummated within such 30 day period, then no offer of sale by an New Equity Holder may be effected without again complying with the provisions hereof.
  Other Items:
    Registration Rights: Customary piggy-back rights upon or following an IPO. Once the New Equity Shares then held by the New Equity Holders constitute at least 35% of the Worldwide Shares (excluding the Management Shares), the New Equity Holders will also have two opportunities to exercise demand registration rights for the resale of the New Equity Shares then held by the New Equity Holders subject to customary exceptions and limitations and provided that the second demand may not be exercised within 12 months of the first demand.

Minimum Liquidity Covenant
 
4   Add a covenant requiring minimum cash of $75 million (excluding restricted cash which currently is approximately $137 million) at the end of each fiscal quarter; provided that if the Revolving Credit Commitments are less than $125 million then there will be a dollar for dollar reduction until the minimum cash requirement is $70 million.
 
   
Restricted Payments
 
4   Restricted Payments capacity increased to $297 million (matching capacity in indentures) to allow Opco to dividend the Second Lien Opco Term Loan and cash in the amount of $89.5 million to Holdco as described above.
 
   
Limitations on Prepayments
 
4   Restrictions on prepayments (Section 7.13) will be expanded to prohibit prepayments of the Second Lien Opco Term Loans.

Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Class(es) and Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and shall be irrevocable, except as permitted under Section 2.05(b). The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Each prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall be paid to the Appropriate Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.
          (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrower may rescind any notice of prepayment under Section 2.05(a)(i) if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of all of the Loans, which refinancing shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed.

54


 

          (iii) Each voluntary prepayment of Loans of any Class pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall be applied to repayments thereof required pursuant to Section 2.07 as directed by the Borrower.
  (b) Mandatory. The provisions of this paragraph (b) shall be subject to Section 2.05(d) below.
          (i) Subject to Section 8.04, and within five (5) Business Days after financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) and the related Compliance Certificate has been delivered pursuant to Section 6.02(b), the Borrower shall cause to be prepaid an aggregate principal amount of the Loans then outstanding equal to (A) 100% (such percentage as it may be reduced as described below, the “ECF Percentage”) of Excess Cash Flow, if any, for the fiscal year covered by such financial statements (commencing with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007) minus (B) the sum of (i) all voluntary prepayments of Term Loans (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement) during such fiscal year and (ii) all voluntary prepayments of Revolving Credit Loans (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement) during such fiscal year to the extent the Revolving Credit Commitments (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement) are voluntarily permanently reduced by the amount of such payments, in the case of each of the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii), to the extent such prepayments are not funded with the proceeds of Indebtedness.
          (ii) (A) If (x) Holdings, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary Disposes of any property or assets (other than any Disposition of any property or assets permitted by Section 7.05(a), (b), (c), (d) (to the extent constituting a Disposition by any Restricted Subsidiary to a Loan Party), (e), (g) or (h)) or (y) any Casualty Event occurs, which in the aggregate results in the realization or receipt by Holdings, the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary of Net Cash Proceeds, the Borrower shall cause to be prepaid on or prior to the date which is ten (10) Business Days (but in the case of a Disposition effected pursuant to Section 7.05(o), five (5) Business Days) after the date of the realization or receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds an aggregate principal amount of the Loans then outstanding equal to 100% (or, in the case of a Disposition made solely pursuant to Section 7.05(n), such lesser percentage of Net Cash Proceeds as may be specified in Section 7.05(n) with respect to such Disposition) of all Net Cash Proceeds realized or received; provided that, other than in the case of a Disposition made pursuant to Section 7.05(o), no such prepayment shall be required pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(ii)(A) with respect to such portion of such Net Cash Proceeds that the Borrower shall have, on or prior to such date, given written notice to the Administrative Agent of its intent to reinvest in accordance with Section 2.05(b)(ii)(B) (which notice may only be provided if no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing).
               (B) With respect to any Net Cash Proceeds realized or received with respect to any Disposition (other than (I) any Disposition specifically excluded from the application of Section 2.05(b)(ii)(A) or (II) any Disposition pursuant to

55


 

Section 7.05(o)) or any Casualty Event, at the option of the Borrower, the Borrower may reinvest all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in assets useful for the business of Holdings and/or its Subsidiaries within (x) fifteen (15) months following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds or (y) if the Borrower enters into a legally binding commitment to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds within fifteen (15) months following receipt thereof, within one hundred and eighty (180) days of the date of such legally binding commitment; provided that (i) so long as an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower shall not be permitted to make any such reinvestments (other than pursuant to a legally binding commitment that the Borrower entered into at a time when no Event of Default is continuing) and (ii) if any Net Cash Proceeds are no longer intended to be or cannot be so reinvested at any time after delivery of a notice of reinvestment election, an amount equal to any such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied within five (5) Business Days after the Borrower reasonably determines that such Net Cash Proceeds are no longer intended to be or cannot be so reinvested to the prepayment of the Loans as set forth in this Section 2.05(b).
          (iii) If Holdings, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs or issues any Indebtedness not expressly permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to Section 7.03, the Borrower shall cause to be prepaid an aggregate principal amount of the Loans then outstanding equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom on or prior to the date which is five (5) Business Days after the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds.
          (iv) [Reserved].
          (v) Each prepayment of Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) shall be allocated among the Classes of Loans on a ratable basis and, within each Class of Loans, shall be applied in direct order of maturity to repayments thereof required pursuant to Section 2.07; and each such prepayment shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares subject to clause (vi) of this Section 2.05(b).
          (vi) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any mandatory prepayment of Loans required to be made pursuant to clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 2.05(b) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall specify the date of such prepayment and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of the contents of the Borrower’s prepayment notice and of such Appropriate Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the prepayment. Each Appropriate Lender may reject all or a portion of its Pro Rata Share of any mandatory prepayment of Loans required to be made pursuant to clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 2.05(b) by providing written notice (each, a “Rejection Notice”) to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) one Business Day after the date of such Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such prepayment; provided that any Rejection Notice may be rejected by

56


 

the Borrower by 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the day of its receipt and shall thereupon become ineffective. Each Rejection Notice from a given Lender shall specify the principal amount of the mandatory repayment of Loans to be rejected by such Lender. If a Lender fails to deliver a Rejection Notice to the Administrative Agent within the time frame specified above or such Rejection Notice fails to specify the principal amount of the Loans to be rejected, any such failure will be deemed an acceptance of the total amount of such mandatory repayment of Loans. In the event a Lender rejects all or any portion of its Pro Rata Share of any mandatory prepayment of Loans required pursuant to clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 2.05(b), the rejected portion of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such prepayment shall be retained by the Borrower.
          (vii) Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of Section 2.05(b), so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans is required to be made under this Section 2.05(b) other than on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, the Borrower may, in its sole discretion, deposit the amount of any such prepayment otherwise required to be made thereunder into a cash collateral account (which shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) until the last day of such Interest Period, at which time the Administrative Agent shall be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from the Borrower or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of such Loans in accordance with this Section 2.05(b). Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall also be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from the Borrower or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of the outstanding Loans in accordance with this Section 2.05(b).
          (c) Interest, Funding Losses, Etc. All prepayments under this Section 2.05 shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with, in the case of any such prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor, any amounts owing in respect of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan pursuant to Section 3.05.
          (d) Repayment of First Lien Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.05, no prepayment of the Loans shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.05 until all amounts outstanding under the First Lien Credit Agreement and the other First Lien Debt Documents have been paid in full in Same Day Funds and there are no commitments or letters of credit outstanding under the First Lien Credit Agreement (unless fully cash collateralized).
          SECTION 2.06. [Reserved].

57


 

          SECTION 2.07. Repayment of Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders on the Maturity Date for the Loans, the aggregate principal amount of all Loans outstanding on such date.
          SECTION 2.08. Interest.
          (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08(b), (i) each Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate; and (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the Closing Date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.
          (b) The Borrower shall pay interest on past due amounts hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.
          (c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.
          (d) Interest on each Loan shall be payable in Dollars.
          (e) Accrued interest on the Loans shall be capitalized as of and added to principal on each Interest Payment Date; provided that the Borrower shall, if the First Lien Leverage Ratio (as defined in the First Lien Credit Agreement as in effect on the date hereof) as of the end of the most recent Test Period is below 3.00:1, pay any such accrued interest in cash. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such cash payment no later than two Business Days prior to making such payment.
          SECTION 2.09. Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Agents such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever (except as expressly agreed between the Borrower and the applicable Agent).

58


 

          SECTION 2.10. Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by Credit Suisse’s “prime rate” shall be made on the basis of a year of three hundred and sixty-five (365) days and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a three hundred and sixty (360) day year and actual days elapsed. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one (1) day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
          SECTION 2.11. Evidence of Indebtedness.
          (a) The Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and evidenced by one or more entries in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent, acting solely for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 5f.103-1(c), as agent for the Borrower, in each case in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note payable to such Lender, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.
          (b) Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to Sections 2.11(a), and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to Section 2.11(a), shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, absent manifest error; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

59


 

          SECTION 2.12. Payments Generally.
          (a) All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) may, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.
          (b) If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be; provided that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurocurrency Rate Loans to be made in the next succeeding calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.
          (c) Unless the Borrower or any Lender has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent hereunder, that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds, then:
          (i) if the Borrower failed to make such payment, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in Same Day Funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect; and
          (ii) if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith on demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount thereof in Same Day Funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent (the “Compensation Period”) at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. When such Lender makes payment to the Administrative Agent (together with all accrued interest thereon), then such payment amount (excluding the amount of any interest which may have

60


 

accrued and been paid in respect of such late payment) shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the applicable Borrowing. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor upon the Borrower, and the Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon for the Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to the applicable Borrowing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to make Loans pursuant to Section 2.01 or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.
A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.12(c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
          (d) Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay in full all amounts due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the order of priority set forth in Section 8.04. If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations of the Loan Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the manner in which such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each of the Lenders in accordance with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Total Outstandings.
          SECTION 2.13. Sharing of Payments. If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the Loans made by it any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of such Loans or such participations, as the case may be, pro rata with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, without further interest thereon. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent

61


 

permitted by applicable Law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff, but subject to Section 10.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.13 and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased.
ARTICLE III
TAXES, INCREASED COSTS PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY
          SECTION 3.01. Taxes.
          (a) Except as provided in this Section 3.01, any and all payments by the Borrower or any Guarantor to or for the account of any Agent or any Lender under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and all liabilities (including additions to tax, penalties and interest) with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Agent and each Lender, taxes imposed on or measured by its net income (including branch profits), and franchise (and similar) taxes imposed on it in lieu of net income taxes, by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the Laws of which such Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, is organized or maintains a Lending Office, and all liabilities (including additions to tax, penalties and interest) with respect thereto (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If the Borrower shall be required by any Laws to deduct any Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to any Agent or any Lender, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01), each of such Agent and such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions, (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Laws, and (iv) within thirty (30) days after the date of such payment (or, if receipts or evidence are not available within thirty (30) days, as soon as possible thereafter), the Borrower shall furnish to such Agent or Lender (as the case may be) the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof to the extent such a receipt is issued therefor, or other written proof of payment thereof that is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. If the Borrower fails to pay any

62


 

Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to any Agent or any Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify such Agent and such Lender for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by such Agent or such Lender arising out of such failure.
          (b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes and any other excise, property, intangible or mortgage recording taxes or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).
          (c) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Agent and each Lender for (i) the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable and paid under this Section 3.01) payable by such Agent and such Lender and (ii) any liability (including additions to tax, penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, in each case whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided that such Agent or Lender, as the case may be, provides the Borrower with a written statement thereof setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of such amounts. Payment under this Section 3.01(c) shall be made within ten (10) days after the date such Lender or such Agent makes a demand therefor.
          (d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify each Agent for any taxes (including any taxes that are excluded from the definition of “Taxes” pursuant to this Section 3.01, but, in the case of any Taxes, only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified such Agent for such Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) attributable to such Lender that are paid or payable by such Agent in connection with this Agreement and any liability (including additions to tax, penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided that such Agent provides the Lender with a written statement thereof setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation of such amounts. Payment under this Section 3.01(d) shall be made within ten (10) days after the date such Agent makes a demand therefor.
          (e) The Borrower shall not be required pursuant to this Section 3.01 to pay any additional amount to, or to indemnify, any Lender or Agent, as the case may be, to the extent that such Lender or such Agent becomes subject to Taxes subsequent to the Closing Date (or, if later, the date such Lender or Agent becomes a party to this Agreement) as a result of a change in the place of organization of such Lender or Agent or a change in the Lending Office of such Lender, except to the extent that any

63


 

such change is requested or required in writing by the Borrower (provided that nothing in this clause (e) shall be construed as relieving the Borrower from any obligation to make such payments or indemnification in the event of a change in Lending Office or place of organization that precedes a change in Law to the extent such Taxes result from a change in Law).
          (f) Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, if a Foreign Lender or an Agent is subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a rate in excess of zero percent at the time such Lender or such Agent, as the case may be, first becomes a party to this Agreement, U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by such jurisdiction at such rate shall be considered excluded from Taxes unless and until such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, provides the appropriate forms certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon U.S. federal withholding tax at such lesser rate only shall be considered excluded from Taxes for periods governed by such forms; provided that, if at the date of the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which a Foreign Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, the Lender assignor was entitled to payments under clause (a) of this Section 3.01 in respect of U.S. federal withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such date, then, to such extent, the term Taxes shall include (in addition to U.S. federal withholding taxes that may be imposed in the future or other amounts otherwise includable in Taxes) U.S. federal withholding tax, if any, applicable with respect to the Lender assignee on such date. A Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of Bermuda withholding tax shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law and as reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate; provided that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice the legal position of such Lender or be otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Lender; provided further that the Borrower, shall reimburse such Lender for any material out-of-pocket costs that are incurred by the Lender with respect to providing any such documentation.
          (g) If any Lender or Agent determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which indemnification or additional amounts have been paid to it by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall promptly remit such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund plus any interest included in such refund by the relevant taxing authority attributable thereto) to the Borrower, net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Lender or Agent, as the case may be and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant taxing authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Lender or Agent, as the case may be, agrees promptly to return such refund to such party in the event such party is required to repay such refund to the relevant taxing

64


 

authority. Such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, shall, at the Borrower’s request, provide the Borrower with a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence of the requirement to repay such refund received from the relevant taxing authority (provided that such Lender or Agent may delete any information therein that such Lender or Agent deems confidential). Nothing herein contained shall interfere with the right of a Lender or Agent to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit nor oblige any Lender or Agent to claim any tax refund or to make available its tax returns or disclose any information relating to its tax affairs or any computations in respect thereof or require any Lender or Agent to do anything that would prejudice its ability to benefit from any other refunds, credits, reliefs, remissions or repayments to which it may be entitled.
          (h) Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 3.01(a) or (c) with respect to such Lender it will, if requested by the Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts (subject to such Lender’s overall internal policies of general application and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate another Lending Office for any Loan affected by such event; provided that such efforts are made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its Lending Office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage; provided further that nothing in this Section 3.01(h) shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrower or the rights of such Lender pursuant to Section 3.01(a) or (c).
          (i) Each of the Borrower and the Lenders shall treat each of the Tranche A Term Loans and the Tranche B Term Loans as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes and will not take any position on any federal, state or local income or franchise tax return or take any other reporting position that is inconsistent with the treatment of the Extended Tranche A Loan and the Extended Tranche B Loan as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
          SECTION 3.02. Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurocurrency Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurocurrency Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans to such day, or promptly, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid

65


 

or converted and all amounts due, if any, in connection with such prepayment or conversion under Section 3.05. Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.
          SECTION 3.03. Inability to Determine Rates. If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan, or that the Eurocurrency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurocurrency Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, or that Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and the Interest Period of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a conversion to or continuation of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.
          SECTION 3.04. Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy; Reserves on Eurocurrency Rate Loans.
          (a) If any Lender determines that as a result of the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any Law, in each case after the Closing Date, or such Lender’s compliance therewith, there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Eurocurrency Rate Loans, or a reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Lender in connection with any of the foregoing (excluding for purposes of this Section 3.04(a) any such increased costs or reduction in amount resulting from (i) Taxes or Other Taxes indemnifiable pursuant to Section 3.01, (ii) changes in the basis of taxation of overall net income (including branch profits), and franchise (and similar) taxes imposed in lieu of net income taxes, by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision of either thereof under the Laws of which such Lender is organized or maintains a Lending Office or (iii) reserve requirements contemplated by Section 3.04(c)), then from time to time within fifteen (15) days after demand by such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail such increased costs (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 3.06), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction.
          (b) If any Lender determines that the introduction of any Law regarding capital adequacy or any change therein or in the interpretation thereof, in each case after the Closing Date, or compliance by such Lender (or its Lending Office)

66


 

therewith, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender’s desired return on capital), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the charge and the calculation of such reduced rate of return (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 3.06), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such demand.
          (c) The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, (i) as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurocurrency Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error), and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the funding of the Eurocurrency Rate Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided that the Borrower shall have received at least fifteen (15) days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or cost from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice fifteen (15) days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest or cost shall be due and payable fifteen (15) days from receipt of such notice.
          (d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.04 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to Section 3.04(a), (b) or (c) for any such increased cost or reduction incurred more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender demands, or notifies the Borrower of its intention to demand, compensation therefor; provided further that, if the circumstance giving rise to such increased cost or reduction is retroactive, then such 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
          (e) If any Lender requests compensation under this Section 3.04, then such Lender will, if requested by the Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts to designate another Lending Office for any Loan affected by such event; provided that such efforts are made on terms that, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender,

67


 

cause such Lender and its Lending Office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage; provided further that nothing in this Section 3.04(e) shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrower or the rights of such Lender pursuant to Section 3.04(a), (b), (c) or (d).
          SECTION 3.05. Funding Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:
          (a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or
          (b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower;
including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.
          For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurocurrency Rate Loan made by it at the Eurocurrency Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurocurrency Rate Loan was in fact so funded.
          SECTION 3.06. Matters Applicable to All Requests for Compensation.
          (a) Any Agent or any Lender claiming compensation under this Article III shall deliver a certificate to the Borrower setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder which shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Agent or such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.
          (b) With respect to any Lender’s claim for compensation under Section 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate such Lender for any amount incurred more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the event that gives rise to such claim; provided that, if the circumstance giving rise to such claim is retroactive,

68


 

then such 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. If any Lender requests compensation by the Borrower under Section 3.04, the Borrower may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or continue from one Interest Period to another Eurocurrency Rate Loans, or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurocurrency Rate Loans, until the event or condition giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 3.06(c) shall be applicable); provided that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to receive the compensation so requested.
          (c) If the obligation of any Lender to continue from one Interest Period to another any Eurocurrency Rate Loan, or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 3.06(b) hereof, such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be automatically converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for such Eurocurrency Rate Loans (or, in the case of an immediate conversion required by Section 3.02, on such earlier date as required by Law) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04 hereof that gave rise to such conversion no longer exist:
          (i) to the extent that such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans have been so converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and
          (ii) all Loans that would otherwise be made or continued from one Interest Period to another by such Lender as Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be made or continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be converted into Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.
          (d) If any Lender gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04 hereof that gave rise to the conversion of such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans pursuant to this Section 3.06 no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when Eurocurrency Rate Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding Eurocurrency Rate Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, interest rate basis and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share.
          SECTION 3.07. Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances.

69


 

          (a) If at any time (i) the Borrower becomes obligated to pay additional amounts or indemnity payments described in Section 3.01 or 3.04 as a result of any condition described in such Sections or any Lender ceases to make Eurocurrency Rate Loans as a result of any condition described in Section 3.02 or Section 3.04 or (ii) any Lender becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, on ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and such Lender, replace such Lender by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to Section 10.07(b) (with the assignment fee to be paid by the Borrower in such instance) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrower to find a replacement Lender or other such Person; and provided further that (A) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments and (B) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable Eligible Assignees shall have agreed to the applicable departure, waiver or amendment of the Loan Documents.
          (b) Any Lender being replaced pursuant to Section 3.07(a) above shall (i) execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Lender’s outstanding Loans, and (ii) deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or Administrative Agent. Pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, (A) the assignee Lender shall acquire all or a portion, as the case may be, of the assigning Lender’s outstanding Loans, (B) all obligations of the Borrower owing to the assigning Lender relating to the Loans and participations so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such assigning Lender concurrently with such assignment and assumption and (C) upon such payment and, if so requested by the assignee Lender, delivery to the assignee Lender of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by the Borrower, the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the assigning Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder with respect to such assigned Loans, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such assigning Lender.
          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, any Lender that acts as the Administrative Agent may not be replaced hereunder except in accordance with the terms of Section 9.09.
          (d) In the event that (i) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent has requested that the Lenders consent to a departure or waiver of any provisions of the Loan Documents or agree to any amendment thereto, (ii) the consent, waiver or amendment in question requires the agreement of all affected Lenders in accordance with the terms of Section 10.01 or all the Lenders with respect to a certain Class of the Loans and (iii) the Required Lenders have agreed to such consent, waiver or

70


 

amendment, then any Lender who does not agree to such consent, waiver or amendment shall be deemed a “Non-Consenting Lender.”

Each Lender acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender represents to each Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower and the other Loan Parties hereunder.

116


 

creditworthiness of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by any Agent herein, such Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.
          SECTION 9.07. Indemnification of Agents. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of any Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of any Loan Party to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting from such Agent-Related Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be required by the Loan Documents) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 9.07. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Liabilities, this Section 9.07 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower, provided that such reimbursement by the Lenders shall not affect the Borrower’s continuing reimbursement obligations with respect thereto. The undertaking in this Section 9.07 shall survive termination of the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent.
          SECTION 9.08. Agents in their Individual Capacities. Credit Suisse, [______] and their respective Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire Equity Interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with each of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates as though Credit Suisse or [______] were not the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Credit Suisse, [______] or their respective Affiliates may receive information regarding any Loan Party or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Loan Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, if any, Credit Suisse and [______] shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not the Administrative Agent

117


 

or Collateral Agent, as applicable, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include Credit Suisse or [______] in their respective individual capacities.
          SECTION 9.09. Successor Agents. The Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may resign as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall be consented to by the Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(f) or (g) (which consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrower, a successor agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” or “Collateral Agent”, as applicable, shall mean such successor administrative agent, collateral agent and/or supplemental agent, as the case may be, and the retiring Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall be terminated. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, the provisions of this Article IX and Sections 10.04 and 10.05 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following the retiring Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor and upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such amendments or supplements to the Mortgages, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Required Lenders may request, in order to (a) continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Collateral Documents or (b) otherwise ensure that the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement is satisfied, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges, and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, and the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, the provisions of this Article 9 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent.
          SECTION 9.10. Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the

118


 

Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
          (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Section 2.09 and 10.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
          (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Collateral Agent, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agents and their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 10.04.
          Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or the Collateral Agent any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or the Collateral Agent or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.
          SECTION 9.11. Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Lenders irrevocably agree that:
          (a) any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document shall be automatically released (i) upon payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not yet accrued and payable), (ii) at the time the property subject to such Lien is transferred or to be transferred as part of or in connection with any transfer permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document to any Person other than Holdings, the Borrower or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries that are Restricted Subsidiaries, (iii) if such Lien was required solely as a result of the application of clause (k) of the definition of Collateral and Guarantee Requirement

119


 

and such Lien is no longer required to be provided pursuant to clause (k), (iv) subject to Section 10.01, if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders, or (v) if the property subject to such Lien is owned by a Guarantor, upon release of such Guarantor from its obligations under its Guaranty pursuant to clause (c) below;
          (b) to release or subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 7.01(i); and
          (c) any Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of a transaction or designation permitted hereunder or if such Guarantor was required to provide a Guaranty solely as a result of the application of clause (k) of the definition of Collateral and Guarantee Requirement and is no longer required to provide a Guaranty pursuant to such clause; provided that no such release shall occur if such Guarantor continues to be a guarantor in respect of the First Lien Credit Agreement, High Yield Notes or any Junior Financing.
          Upon request by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s or the Collateral Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.11. In each case as specified in this Section 9.11, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent will (and each Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to), at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release or subordination of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents, or to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.11.
          In addition, each Lender acknowledges that obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantors under any Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness or First Lien Credit Agreement Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness, and certain obligations related thereto, may be secured by Liens on assets of the Borrower and the Guarantors that constitute Collateral to the extent permitted hereby. Each Lender hereby irrevocably (i) authorizes the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent to execute and deliver the Intercreditor Agreement, the intercreditor agreement and any documents relating thereto (including any amendments to the Collateral Documents) as the Administrative Agent shall determine to be appropriate, subject to the requirements set forth herein with respect to such Indebtedness, in each case without any further consent, authorization or other action by any Lender, (ii) agrees that, upon the execution and delivery of such Intercreditor Agreement, such intercreditor agreement or any such document, each Lender will be bound by the provisions thereof as if it were a signatory thereto and will take no actions contrary to the provisions thereof and (iii) agrees that none of the Lenders or any other

120


 

Secured Party shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent as a result of any action taken by such Agent pursuant to this paragraph or in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, such intercreditor agreement or any such document.
          SECTION 9.12. [Reserved].
          SECTION 9.13. Appointment of Supplemental Agents or Collateral Agents.
          (a) It is the purpose of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that there shall be no violation of any Law of any jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as agent or trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in case of litigation under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and in particular in case of the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or in case the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent deems that by reason of any present or future Law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the rights, powers or remedies granted herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or take any other action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to appoint an additional individual or institution selected by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion as a separate trustee, co-trustee, administrative agent, collateral agent, administrative sub-agent or administrative co-agent (any such additional individual or institution being referred to herein individually as a “Supplemental Agent” and collectively as “Supplemental Agents”).
          (b) In the event that the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent appoints a Supplemental Agent with respect to any Collateral, (i) each and every right, power, privilege or duty expressed or intended by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent with respect to such Collateral shall be exercisable by and vest in such Supplemental Agent to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to enable such Supplemental Agent to exercise such rights, powers and privileges with respect to such Collateral and to perform such duties with respect to such Collateral, and every covenant and obligation contained in the Loan Documents and necessary to the exercise or performance thereof by such Supplemental Agent shall run to and be enforceable by either the Administrative Agent or such Supplemental Agent, and (ii) the provisions of this Article 9 and of Sections 10.04 and 10.05 that refer to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall inure to the benefit of such Supplemental Agent and all references therein to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to be references to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and/or such Supplemental Agent, as the context may require.
          (c) Should any instrument in writing from the Borrower, Holdings or any other Loan Party be required by any Supplemental Agent so appointed by the

121


 

Administrative Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the Borrower or Holdings, as applicable, shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent. In case any Supplemental Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental Agent, to the extent permitted by Law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent until the appointment of a new Supplemental Agent.

          (a) extend or increase the commitment of any Lender to make Loans hereunder without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.01 or the waiver of any Default, mandatory prepayment or mandatory reduction of the commitment to make Loans hereunder shall not constitute an extension or increase of any commitment of any Lender to make Loans hereunder);
          (b) postpone any date scheduled for, or reduce the amount of, any payment of principal or interest under Section 2.07 or 2.08 without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, it being understood that the waiver of (or amendment to the terms of) any mandatory prepayment of the Loans shall not constitute a postponement of any date scheduled for the payment of principal or interest;
          (c) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein on, any Loan, or (subject to clause (i) of the second proviso to this Section 10.01) any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, it being understood that any change to the definition of Total Leverage Ratio or in the component definitions thereof shall not constitute a reduction in the rate; provided that, only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend the definition of “Default Rate” or to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest at the Default Rate;

122

          Notwithstanding the foregoing, no consent of the Borrower or any Loan Party shall be required for amendments or waivers to the Intercreditor Agreement except to the extent expressly set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement.
          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 10.01, guarantees, collateral security documents and related documents executed by Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and may be, together with this Agreement, amended and waived with the consent of the Administrative Agent at the request of the Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of any other Lender if such amendment or waiver is delivered in order (i) to comply with local Law or advice of local counsel, (ii) to cure ambiguities or defects or (iii) to cause such guarantee, collateral security document or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
          SECTION 10.02. Notices and Other Communications; Facsimile Copies.

In no event shall a voice mail message be effective as a notice, communication or confirmation hereunder.
          The Borrower hereby agrees, unless directed otherwise by the Administrative Agent or unless the electronic mail address referred to below has not been provided by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, that it will, or will cause its Subsidiaries to, provide to the Administrative Agent all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents or to the Lenders under Article VI, including all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such communication that (a) is or relates to a notice pursuant to Section 2.02, (b) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due under this Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor, (c) provides notice of any Default or Event of Default under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (d) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement and/or any Loans or other extension of credit hereunder (all such non-excluded communications being referred to herein collectively as “Communications”), by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium that is properly identified in a format acceptable to the Administrative Agent to an electronic mail address as directed by the Administrative Agent. In addition, the Borrower agrees, and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries, to continue to provide the Communications to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, as the case may be, in the manner specified in the Loan Documents but only to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent.
          The Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent will make available to the Lenders materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder (collectively, the “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on Intralinks or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). The Borrower hereby agrees that (i) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (ii) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of

125


 

United States federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 10.08); (iii) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated as “Public Investor;” and (iv) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as “Public Investor.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Borrower Materials shall be marked “PUBLIC”, unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent promptly that any such document contains material non-public information: (A) the Loan Documents and (B) notification of changes in the terms of the Loan Documents.
          Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including United States Federal and state securities laws, to make reference to Communications that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws.
          THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES WARRANTS THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS IS MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER OR NOT BASED ON STRICT LIABILITY AND INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LIABILITY OF ANY SUCH PERSON IS FOUND IN A FINAL RULING BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED PRIMARILY FROM SUCH PERSON’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE, BAD FAITH OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.
          The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees that receipt of notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the

126


 

Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s e-mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address.
          Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.
          (b) Effectiveness of Facsimile Documents and Signatures. Loan Documents may be transmitted and/or signed by facsimile. The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable Law, have the same force and effect as manually signed originals and shall be binding on all Loan Parties, the Agents and the Lenders.
          (c) Reliance by Agents and Lenders. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including telephonic Committed Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Borrower shall indemnify each Agent-Related Person and each Lender from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct. All telephonic notices to the Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.
          SECTION 10.03. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by any Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and provided under each other Loan Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Law.
          SECTION 10.04. Attorney Costs, Expenses and Taxes. The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, syndication and execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any amendment, waiver, consent or other modification of the provisions hereof and thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby are consummated), and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including all Attorney Costs of local and foreign counsel, and (b) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and each Lender for all out-of-pocket costs and

expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of any rights or remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including all such costs and expenses incurred during any legal proceeding, including any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, and including all Attorney Costs of counsel to the Administrative Agent). The foregoing costs and expenses shall include all reasonable search, filing, recording and title insurance charges and fees and taxes related thereto, and other (reasonable, in the case of Section 10.04(a)) out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Agent. The agreements in this Section 10.04 shall survive the repayment of all other Obligations. All amounts due under this Section 10.04 shall be paid within ten (10) Business Days of receipt by the Borrower of an invoice relating thereto setting forth such expenses in reasonable detail.

No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement, nor shall any Indemnitee or any Loan Party have any liability for any special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 10.05 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Loan Party, its directors, stockholders or creditors or an Indemnitee or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not any of the transactions contemplated

128


 

hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents is consummated. All amounts due under this Section 10.05 shall be paid within ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor; provided, however, that such Indemnitee shall promptly refund such amount to the extent that there is a final judicial or arbitral determination that such Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification or contribution rights with respect to such payment pursuant to the express terms of this Section 10.05. The agreements in this Section 10.05 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.
          SECTION 10.06. Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to any Agent or any Lender, or any Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by any Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.
          SECTION 10.07. Successors and Assigns.
          (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither Holdings nor the Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee or pursuant to Section 10.07(b)(iii), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(e), (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.07(g) or (iv) to an SPC in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(h) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 10.07(e) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
          (b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below and the exceptions and limitations set forth in paragraph (b)(iii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (“Assignees”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Loans at the time

129


 

owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:
               (A) the Borrower; provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), (f) or (g) has occurred and is continuing, any Assignee; and
               (B) the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Loan to another Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.
          (ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:
               (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Loans of any Class, the amount of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents, provided that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required (x) during the primary syndication of the Loans to the Persons identified to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent prior to the Closing Date or (y) if an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), (f) or (g) has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Affiliates or Approved Funds, if any; provided, further, that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof;
               (B) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that only one such fee shall be payable in the event of simultaneous assignments from any Lender or its Approved Funds to one or more other Approved Funds of such Lender; and
               (C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.
          (iii) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) (A) Holdings may assign the Tranche A Term Loans to Travelport Guarantor in order to consummate the Restructuring Transaction, (B) Travelport Guarantor may assign the Tranche A Term

130


 

Loans pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement and (C) Holdings may assign the Tranche B Term Loans to Travelport Holdings in order to consummate the Exchange (as defined in the PIK Credit Agreement), in each case, without the consent of any Person party hereto and (y) prior to the Settlement Date (as defined in the PIK Credit Agreement) Travelport Guarantor shall not assign the Tranche A Term Loans other than in accordance with the Escrow Agreement.
          This paragraph (b) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Classes of Loans on a non-pro rata basis.
          (c) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.07(d), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, 10.04 and 10.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, and the surrender by the assigning Lender of its Note, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this clause (c) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.07(e).
          (d) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of the Loans owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, any Agent and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
          (e) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Loans;

131


 

provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that directly affects such Participant. Subject to Section 10.07(f), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01 (subject to the requirements of Section 10.15), 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.07(c). To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.09 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender.
          (f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent.
          (g) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
          (h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an “SPC”) the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement (including its obligations under

132


 

Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05), (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the lender of record hereunder. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the commitment of the Granting Lender to make Loans hereunder to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee of $3,500, assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or Guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.
          (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (1) any Lender may in accordance with applicable Law create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it and (2) any Lender that is a Fund may create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it to the trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Fund as security for such obligations or securities; provided that unless and until such trustee actually becomes a Lender in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 10.07, (i) no such pledge shall release the pledging Lender from any of its obligations under the Loan Documents and (ii) such trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Lender under the Loan Documents even though such trustee may have acquired ownership rights with respect to the pledged interest through foreclosure or otherwise.
          SECTION 10.08. Confidentiality. Each of the Agents and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information, except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees, trustees, numbering, administrative and settlement service providers, investment advisors and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and shall agree to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent requested by any Governmental Authority; (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party to this Agreement; (e) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.08 (or as may otherwise be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower), to any pledgee referred to in Section 10.07(g), counterparty to a Swap Contract, Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement; (f) with the written consent of the Borrower; (g) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.08; (h) to any Governmental Authority or examiner (including the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization) regulating any Lender; (i) to any rating agency when required by it (it being understood that, prior to any such disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to

133


 

preserve the confidentiality of any Information relating to the Loan Parties received by it from such Lender); or (j) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder. In addition, the Agents and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Loans. For the purposes of this Section 10.08, “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party relating to any Loan Party or its business, other than any such information that is publicly available to any Agent or any Lender prior to disclosure by any Loan Party other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.08; provided that, in the case of information received from a Loan Party after the Closing Date, such information is (i) clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential or (ii) is delivered pursuant to Section 6.01, 6.02 or 6.03 hereof.
          SECTION 10.09. Setoff. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, in addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender and its Affiliates is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, any such notice being waived by the Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other Indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender and its Affiliates, as the case may be, to or for the credit or the account of the respective Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries against any and all Obligations owing to such Lender and its Affiliates hereunder or under any other Loan Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not such Agent or such Lender or Affiliate shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or Indebtedness. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent, each Lender under this Section 10.09 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Administrative Agent and such Lender may have.
          SECTION 10.10. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If any Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by an Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

134


 

          SECTION 10.11. Counterparts. This Agreement and each other Loan Document may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by telecopier or other electronic image transmission (e.g. “PDF” or “TIF” via electronic mail) of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement and each other Loan Document shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement and such other Loan Document. The Agents may also require that any such documents and signatures delivered by telecopier be confirmed by a manually signed original thereof; provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature delivered by telecopier.
          SECTION 10.12. Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Agents or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.
          SECTION 10.13. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by each Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by any Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that any Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Loan was made, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.
          SECTION 10.14. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
          SECTION 10.15. Tax Forms.

If such U.S. Lender fails to deliver such forms, then the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to such U.S. Lender an amount equivalent to the applicable backup withholding tax imposed by the Code.

If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent from any Borrower in the Agreement Currency, such Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or the Person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss.

          SECTION 10.20. Lender Action. Each Lender agrees that it shall not take or institute any actions or proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for any right or remedy against any Loan Party or any other obligor under any of the Loan Documents (including the exercise of any right of setoff, rights on account of any banker’s lien or similar claim or other rights of self-help), or institute any actions or proceedings, or otherwise commence any remedial procedures, with respect to any Collateral or any other property of any such Loan Party, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. The provisions of this Section 10.20 are for the sole benefit of the Lenders and shall not afford any right to, or constitute a defense available to, any Loan Party.
          SECTION 10.21. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.
          SECTION 10.22. Intercreditor Agreement.
          (a) Each Lender hereby (a) consents to the subordination of the Liens and security interest securing the Obligations on the terms set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement, (b) agrees that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the exercise of rights and remedies of the Agents and the Lenders hereunder and thereunder, are subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, (c) agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and (d) hereby authorizes and instructs each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement and to subject the Liens and security interest securing the Obligations to

139


 

the provisions thereof. The foregoing provisions are intended as an inducement to the First Lien Secured Parties (as such term is defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) to extend credit to the Borrower, and such First Lien Secured Parties are intended third party beneficiaries of such provisions and the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement.
          (b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the lien and security interest granted to secure the Obligations and the exercise of any right or remedy by any Secured Party hereunder or under any Loan Document are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.

permitted hereunder. To the extent that the foregoing provisions are not complied with for any reason, without limiting any other rights and remedies available to the First Priority Collateral Agent, the First Priority Administrative Agent and/or the First Priority Secured Parties, each of the Second Priority Collateral Agent and the Second Priority Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, agrees that any amount received by or distributed to any of them pursuant to or as a result of Liens granted in contravention of this Section 2.3 shall be subject to Section 4.2.

11


 

with Section 6.7 of this Agreement and (z) file any proof of claim and other filings, appear and be heard on any matter in connection therewith and make any arguments and motions that are, in each case, not inconsistent with the other terms of this Agreement, with respect to the Second Priority Claims and the Collateral (it being understood that no Second Priority Secured Party shall be entitled to assert any right or interest of an unsecured creditor (or otherwise) that they would not be entitled to assert hereunder as a secured creditor) and excluding the filing of pleadings, objections, motions or agreements covered by the preceding clause (v), and (4) nothing herein shall be construed to limit or impair in any way the right of any Second Priority Secured Party to receive any remaining Collateral and proceeds of Collateral after the Discharge of First Priority Claims has occurred.

Such exercise and enforcement shall include the rights of an agent appointed by the First Priority Collateral Agent, the First Priority Administrative Agent and the other First Priority Secured Parties (or, following the Discharge of First Priority Claims and until the Discharge of Second Priority Claims has occurred, the Second Priority Collateral Agent, the Second Priority Administrative Agent and the other Second Priority Secured Parties) to sell or otherwise dispose of Collateral upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with such sale or disposition, and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction and of a secured creditor under bankruptcy or similar laws of any applicable jurisdiction.

          (ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (i), unless and until the Discharge of First Priority Claims has occurred, except as expressly provided in the proviso in clause (a) of Section 3.1, the sole right of the Second Priority Administrative Agent, the Second Priority Collateral Agent and the other Second Priority Secured Parties as secured parties with respect to the Collateral is to hold a perfected Lien on the Collateral pursuant to the Second Priority Documents for the period and to the extent granted therein and to receive a share of the proceeds thereof, if any, after the Discharge of First Priority Claims has occurred.

12

          (ii) Each of the Second Priority Collateral Agent and the Second Priority Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally waives any and all rights it or the Second Priority Secured Parties may have as a junior lien creditor or otherwise (whether arising under the UCC or any other law) to object to the manner (including by judicial foreclosure, non-judicial foreclosure, strict foreclosure or otherwise) in which the First Priority Collateral Agent, the First Priority Administrative Agent or the other holders of First Priority Claims seek to enforce the Liens granted in any of the Collateral except that there shall be no waiver of the obligation, if any, of the First Priority Collateral Agent or the First Priority Administrative Agent to dispose of the Collateral in a “commercially reasonable” manner within the meaning of any applicable UCC.
     (e) Each of the Second Priority Collateral Agent and the Second Priority Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, hereby acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in the Second Priority Collateral Documents or any other Second Priority Document (other than this Agreement) is intended to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of the First Priority Collateral Agent, the First Priority Administrative Agent or the First Priority Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral as set forth in this Agreement and the First Priority Documents.
     3.2 Cooperation. Subject to the proviso in Section 3.1(a), each of the Second Priority Collateral Agent and the Second Priority Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, agrees that, unless and until the Discharge of First Priority Claims has occurred, it will not, and shall be deemed to have waived any right to, commence, or join with any Person in commencing any enforcement, collection, execution, levy or foreclosure action or proceeding with respect to any Lien held by it under any Second Priority Document.

The Obligors hereby consent and agree to each of the First Priority Collateral Agent, the Second Priority Collateral Agent, the First Priority Administrative Agent and the Second Priority Administrative Agent providing any such information to the other and to such actions by any of them and waives any right or claim against any of them arising as a result of such information or actions.

Second Priority Collateral Agent (acting at the written direction of the Second Priority Administrative Agent (itself acting at the written direction of the requisite Second Priority Secured Parties in accordance with the Second Priority Credit Agreement)), and (iii) notice of such amendment, waiver or consent shall have been given by the First Priority Administrative Agent to the Second Priority Collateral Agent (unless it is the same Person as the First Priority Collateral Agent), within 10 Business Days after the effective date thereof; provided, further, that (x) nothing contained in this clause (c) shall impair the rights of the First Priority Collateral Agent, the First Priority Administrative Agent and the holders of First Priority Claims, or the obligations and agreements of the Second Priority Collateral Agent and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, under Sections 3 and 5.1 and (y) the First Priority Collateral Documents and the Second Priority Collateral Documents may, without the consent of any Second Priority Secured Party, be amended or modified pursuant to this Section 5.3(c) to secure additional extensions of credit and add additional secured creditors as long as such amendments or modifications do not violate the express provisions of any Second Priority Document.

     5.4 Rights as Unsecured Creditors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Second Priority Secured Parties may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors against the Obligors in accordance with the terms of the Second Priority Documents and applicable law only to the extent set forth in the proviso of Section 3.1(a) hereof. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by any Second Priority Secured Party of any payment of interest and principal on the Second Priority Claims, together with any reimbursable fees and expenses and other amounts due in respect thereof, so long as such receipt is not (a) the direct or indirect result of the exercise by any Second Priority Secured Party of rights and remedies as a secured creditor in respect of the Second Priority Claims or enforcement of any Second Priority Lien, in either case in contravention of this Agreement, or (b) a distribution in any Insolvency Proceeding on account of or otherwise by virtue of any Second Priority Lien (including any distribution on account of or otherwise by virtue of any Lien on the Collateral under any Plan of

18


 

Reorganization), other than as permitted by Section 6.8 hereof. In the event that any Second Priority Secured Party becomes a judgment lien creditor in respect of Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor in respect of the Second Priority Claims, such judgment lien shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement (including in relation to the First Priority Liens and the First Priority Claims and including in relation to the Second Priority Liens and Second Priority Claims) to the same extent as the other Liens securing the Second Priority Claims (created pursuant to the Second Priority Collateral Documents) are subject to the terms of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement modifies any right or remedy the holders of First Priority Claims or, after the Discharge of First Priority Claims has occurred, the holders of Second Priority Claims may have with respect to the Collateral.
     5.5 Bailee and Agent for Perfection. The First Priority Collateral Agent hereby acknowledges that, to the extent that it holds, or a third party holds on its behalf, physical possession over Collateral pursuant to any of the First Priority Collateral Documents (any such Collateral, as updated from time to time in accordance with the relevant Collateral Document, the “Bailment Collateral”), such possession or control is also held as a bailee and agent for perfection for, on behalf of and for the benefit of, the Second Priority Collateral Agent (as collateral agent for the Second Priority Secured Parties), such bailment and agency for perfection being intended, among other things, to satisfy the requirements of Sections 8-106(d)(3), 8-301(a)(2) and 9-313(c) of the UCC, and in each case solely to the extent required to perfect and enforce their security interests in such Bailment Collateral. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall be construed to impose any duty on the First Priority Collateral Agent, the First Priority Administrative Agent or any First Priority Secured Party (or any third party acting on their behalf) with respect to such Bailment Collateral or provide the Second Priority Administrative Agent, the Second Priority Collateral Agent or any other Second Priority Secured Party with any rights with respect to such Bailment Collateral beyond those specified in this Agreement or the Second Priority Collateral Documents (it being understood that the First Priority Collateral Agent’s duty under this Section 5.5 shall be limited solely to holding any such Collateral as bailee and agent for perfection); provided that promptly following the Discharge of First Priority Claims, the First Priority Collateral Agent (upon the written direction of the First Priority Administrative Agent) shall deliver to the Second Priority Collateral Agent, at the Obligors’ joint and several cost and expense, such Bailment Collateral in its possession together with any necessary endorsements or direct and deliver such Collateral as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.
     Section 6. Insolvency Proceedings.
     6.1 Finance and Sale Issues.
     (a) Until the Discharge of First Priority Claims has occurred, if any Obligor shall be subject to any Insolvency Proceeding and the First Priority Administrative Agent shall desire to permit the use of cash collateral (as such term is defined in Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code) under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (“Use of Cash Collateral”) or to permit an Obligor to obtain financing, whether from the First Priority Secured Parties, any other Person, or any combination thereof, under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code (“DIP Financing”), then each of the Second Priority Collateral Agent and the Second Priority Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, agrees that (i) it shall not be

19


 

entitled to raise (and will not raise), but instead shall be deemed to have otherwise irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally waived any right to raise, any objection to such Use of Cash Collateral or DIP Financing (and instead will be deemed to have consented to such Use of Cash Collateral or DIP Financing), (ii) it shall not be entitled to request (and will not request) adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith (except as expressly agreed by the First Priority Administrative Agent or to the extent permitted by Section 6.2), and (iii) to the extent the First Priority Liens are junior in priority to or pari passu with Liens granted in connection with such Use of Cash Collateral or such DIP Financing (including adequate protection Liens), the Second Priority Liens in the Collateral shall be maintained as junior in priority to the First Priority Liens as contemplated hereunder and to such Liens granted in connection with such Use of Cash Collateral or such DIP Financing on the same basis as the Second Priority Liens are junior in priority to First Priority Liens under this Agreement. Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, nothing in this Section 6.1(a) is intended to limit the ability of the First Priority Secured Parties or the Second Priority Secured Parties to participate in, support, or object to any Use of Cash Collateral or DIP Financing that does not involve the Collateral. Each of the Lenders (as defined in the Second Priority Credit Agreement) agrees that none of them shall offer to provide, administer or syndicate any DIP Financing to any Obligor unless (i) the application of the proceeds of such DIP Financing would result in the Discharge of the First Priority Claims or (ii) consented to by the First Priority Administrative Agent.
     (b) Until the Discharge of First Priority Claims has occurred, the Second Priority Secured Parties, in any Insolvency Proceeding, shall not be entitled to oppose (and shall not oppose) (1) any sale or disposition of any assets of any of the Obligors, or (2) any procedure governing sale or disposition of any assets of any of the Obligors, in each case that is supported by the First Priority Administrative Agent, and the Second Priority Secured Parties will be deemed to have consented under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code to any sale, and any procedure for sale (and in each case any motion in support hereof), supported by such First Priority Secured Parties and to have released (and to have consented to the release of) their Liens in such assets so long as and to the extent that (i) the First Priority Secured Parties shall have likewise released their Liens and (ii) the First Priority Liens and the Second Priority Liens shall attach to the proceeds of any Collateral sold or disposed of in the priorities set forth herein. For the avoidance of doubt, and without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, in any Insolvency Proceeding, the Second Priority Secured Parties irrevocably waive any right to object to any sale, or any procedure for sale, or any motion for sale or for bid procedures regarding the sale, of any Collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code on the grounds of inadequate time for marketing of such asset, inopportune time for sale of such asset (based on market conditions or otherwise), inadequate purchase price/value to be received for such asset, or any expense reimbursement, break-up fee or other condition or covenant contained in any stalking horse bid for such asset.
     6.2 Adequate Protection. If and only if directed to do so by Second Priority Secured Parties holding at least a majority of the principal amount of the Second Priority Claims, the Second Priority Administrative Agent or the Second Priority Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Priority Secured Parties, may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a Lien on any additional collateral as to which the First Priority Secured Parties have received adequate protection in the form of a Lien (including by way of objecting to any DIP Financing that does not provide for such Lien), which Lien will be junior in priority to the First Priority

20


 

Liens (including any adequate protection Lien in favor of the First Priority Secured Parties) and any Lien securing such DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Priority Claims are junior in priority to the First Priority Liens under this Agreement and subject in all respects to the release obligations set forth in this Agreement, including in Section 5.1 and Section 6.1 hereof. If the Second Priority Secured Parties are granted post-petition interest and/or adequate protection payments in an Insolvency Proceeding (“Junior Priority Bankruptcy Payments”), such amounts shall be deemed Collateral, shall be turned over to the First Priority Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 4.2 hereof (or, following the Discharge of First Priority Claims and prior to the Discharge of Second Priority Claims, to the Second Priority Collateral Agent) and shall be applied according to the terms thereof (regardless of whether or not any order of a bankruptcy court authorizing and/or directing any Junior Priority Bankruptcy Payments shall expressly provide for such direct payment to the First Priority Collateral Agent or the Second Priority Collateral Agent, as applicable).
     6.3 No Waiver. Subject to Section 3.1(a), nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit the First Priority Collateral Agent, the First Priority Administrative Agent or any other First Priority Secured Party from objecting in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by any Second Priority Secured Party, including the seeking by any Second Priority Secured Party of adequate protection or the asserting by any Second Priority Secured Party of any of its rights and remedies under the Second Priority Documents or otherwise. Subject to Section 3.1(a), following the Discharge of First Priority Claims, nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit the Second Priority Administrative Agent, the Second Priority Collateral Agent or any other Second Priority Secured Party from objecting in any Insolvency Proceeding.
     6.4 Reinstatement. If, in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, all or part of any payment with respect to the First Priority Claims previously made shall be rescinded for any reason whatsoever (including an order or judgment for disgorgement of a preference under the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar law) (a “Recovery”), then the First Priority Claims shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto from such date of reinstatement. If any Second Priority Secured Party is required in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to turn over any Recovery, then the Second Priority Claims shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto from such date of reinstatement.
     6.5 Post-Petition Interest. No Second Priority Secured Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the First Priority Collateral Agent, the First Priority Administrative Agent or any other First Priority Secured Party for allowance or payment in any Insolvency Proceeding of the First Priority Claims consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of any First Priority Lien on the Collateral, without regard to the existence of the Second Priority Liens on the Collateral, such value to be determined without regard to the existence of the Second Priority Liens on the Collateral.

21


 

     6.6 Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification. Each of the First Priority Collateral Agent and the First Priority Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the other First Priority Secured Parties, and each of the Second Priority Collateral Agent and the Second Priority Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, acknowledge and agree that:
     (a) the grants of Liens pursuant to the First Priority Collateral Documents and the Second Priority Collateral Documents constitute two separate and distinct grants of Liens; and
     (b) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the First Priority Claims and the Second Priority Claims are fundamentally different from one another and must be separately classified in any Plan of Reorganization proposed or confirmed in an Insolvency Proceeding.
To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that, contrary to the intention of the parties, the claims of the First Priority Secured Parties and/or the Second Priority Secured Parties in respect of the Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of first priority and second priority secured claims), then (i) each of the parties hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that, subject to Sections 2.1 and 4.1, all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of first priority and second priority secured claims against the Obligors in respect of the Collateral and (ii) the First Priority Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest, including any additional interest payable pursuant to the First Priority Documents, arising from or related to a default, which is disallowed as a claim in any Insolvency Proceeding, and reimbursement of all fees and expenses of the First Priority Collateral Agent’s and the First Priority Administrative Agent’s respective attorneys, financial consultants, and other agents) before any distribution is made in respect of or by virtue of the Second Priority Liens, with each of the Second Priority Collateral Agent and the Second Priority Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the First Priority Collateral Agent amounts otherwise received or receivable by them in respect of or by virtue of the Second Priority Liens to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Second Priority Secured Parties.
     6.7 Voting for Plan of Reorganization. The First Priority Secured Parties and the Second Priority Secured Parties, in each case in such capacity, shall be entitled to vote to accept or reject any Plan of Reorganization in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding so long as such Plan of Reorganization is a Conforming Plan of Reorganization and shall be entitled to vote to reject any such Plan of Reorganization that is a Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization; provided that each of the Second Priority Collateral Agent and the Second Priority Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, agrees that none of the Second Priority Secured Parties, in such capacity, shall be entitled to take any action or vote in any way that supports any Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization or to object to a Plan of Reorganization to which the requisite holders of First Priority Claims have consented on the grounds that any sale of Collateral thereunder or pursuant thereto is for inadequate consideration, or that the sale process in respect thereof was inadequate. Without limiting the

22


 

generality of the foregoing or of the other provisions of this Agreement, any vote to accept, and any other act to support the confirmation or approval of, any Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization by any Second Priority Secured Party, in such capacity, shall be inconsistent with and accordingly, a violation of the terms of this Agreement, and the First Priority Administrative Agent shall be entitled (and hereby authorized by the Second Priority Secured Parties) to have any such vote to accept a Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization changed and any such support of any such Non-Conforming Plan of Reorganization withdrawn.
     6.8 X Clause. Notwithstanding Section 4.2 hereof or any other provision of this Agreement, regardless of whether a Discharge of First Priority Claims shall occur in connection with a confirmed Plan of Reorganization, the Second Priority Secured Parties shall be permitted to receive or retain any debt or equity securities or other obligations of the Obligors to be distributed to them under any such confirmed Plan of Reorganization on account of or otherwise by virtue of the Second Priority Liens on the Collateral (collectively, a “Plan Distribution”), so long as (i) any lien granted on the Collateral (or any other assets of an Obligor) to secure such Plan Distributions shall be junior in priority to any liens granted to secure any Plan Distribution to the First Priority Secured Parties under any such Plan of Reorganization on account of the First Priority Liens to the same extent as the Second Priority Liens are junior in priority to the First Priority Liens on the Collateral hereunder and such liens shall otherwise be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (or an analogous agreement), and (ii) any Plan Distribution received by a Second Priority Secured Party shall not be entitled to receive cash interest (but may accrue interest or contain pay-in-kind interest), any Plan Distribution may not be subject to amortization, redemption or other principal or preference paydown, in each case prior to the Discharge of First Priority Claims (including by way of full payment of any Plan Distribution received by the First Priority Secured Parties); provided, however, that, absent a Discharge of the First Priority Claims, any Plan Distribution received by a Second Priority Secured Party under a Plan of Reorganization which the class of First Priority Claims has voted to reject (and which was implemented despite such rejection), or which does not satisfy the criteria set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above, shall be turned over to the First Priority Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 4.2.
     6.9 Determination of Distributions on Account of Lien on Collateral. For the purposes of this Agreement, including for the purposes of Sections 4.2, 5.4, and 6.8 hereof, there shall be a presumption that any distribution to or for the benefit of the Second Priority Secured Parties under any Plan of Reorganization for any Obligor shall be on account of or by virtue of the Second Priority Liens on the Collateral. Each of the Second Priority Collateral Agent and the Second Priority Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, shall have the burden of rebutting that presumption, and of proving the portion (if any) of any distribution under any Plan of Reorganization to, or for the benefit of, the Second Priority Secured Parties that does not consist of proceeds of (or is not otherwise on account of or by virtue of) such Lien on the Collateral, in each case by clear and convincing evidence.
     6.10 Plan of Reorganization. Neither the Second Priority Administrative Agent nor any other Second Priority Secured Party will sponsor, fund or otherwise facilitate, or support or vote in favor of in an Insolvency Proceeding, any Plan of Reorganization that does not contemplate the payment in full, in cash of the First Priority Claims upon the effective date of such Plan of Reorganization unless the First Lien Administrative Agent shall have otherwise

23


 

consented. Neither the Second Priority Administrative Agent nor any other Second Priority Secured Party will raise or support any objection to any Plan of Reorganization on the basis that the rate of interest payable on any Plan Distribution to the First Priority Secured Parties is excessive or over-compensatory.
     6.11 Turnover Provisions. If, in connection with an Insolvency Proceeding, a First Lien Deficiency Claim exists and any Second Priority Secured Party receives a distribution (whether in cash or in-kind) solely on account of its Second Lien Deficiency Claim out of property not constituting Collateral or otherwise not subject to Section 4.2, Section 6.2 or Section 6.8 of the Intercreditor Agreement (such amount, the “Turnover Proceeds”), then such Second Priority Secured Party’s interest in such Turnover Proceeds shall be subject and subordinate to the First Lien Deficiency Claim until such First Lien Deficiency Claim shall have been paid in full, and, subject to the immediately following proviso, such Second Priority Secured Party shall segregate and hold in trust such Turnover Proceeds for the benefit of the First Priority Secured Parties and shall forthwith pay over such Turnover Proceeds in the form received to the First Priority Administrative Agent for application to the First Lien Deficiency Claim until the First Lien Deficiency Claim shall have been paid in full; provided that, to the extent, and only to the extent, required by the last paragraph of Section 4.09 of the Senior Note Documents, each Second Priority Secured Party hereby agrees that (i) its Second Lien Deficiency Claim shall be subject and subordinate to the Senior Note Obligations to the extent and in the same manner as its Second Lien Deficiency Claim is subject and subordinate to the First Lien Deficiency Claim under this paragraph, (ii) it shall, subject to the preceding provisions of this paragraph, segregate and hold in trust Turnover Proceeds for the benefit of the holders of the Senior Note Obligations and (iii) it shall, subject to the preceding provisions of this paragraph, forthwith pay over Turnover Proceeds in the form received to the trustee(s) under the Senior Note Documents. The First Lien Secured Parties and the Second Lien Secured Parties agree that the foregoing shall not be deemed to restrict the Second Priority Secured Parties from acquiring or repaying and discharging in full (other than out of Turnover Proceeds) the First Lien Deficiency Claim. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this paragraph shall otherwise impact the rights of the First Priority Secured Parties or the Second Priority Secured Parties to the Collateral, the proceeds of Collateral or any property or distribution contemplated by Section 4.2, Section 6.2 or Section 6.8 above.
     Section 7. Reliance; Waivers; etc.
     7.1 Reliance. Each of the Second Priority Collateral Agent and the Second Priority Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Priority Secured Parties, acknowledges that the Second Priority Secured Parties have, independently and without reliance on the First Priority Collateral Agent, the First Priority Administrative Agent or any other First Priority Secured Party, and based on documents and information deemed by them appropriate, made their own credit analysis and decision to enter into the Second Priority Credit Agreement, any other applicable Second Priority Document, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and they will continue to make their own credit decisions in taking or not taking any action under the Second Priority Credit Agreement, any such other Second Priority Document or this Agreement.

24


 

     7.2 No Warranties or Liability. Each of the Second Priority Collateral Agent and the Second Priority Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the Second Priority Secured Parties, acknowledges and agrees that each of the First Priority Collateral Agent, the First Priority Administrative Agent and the other holders of First Priority Claims have made no express or implied representation or warranty, including with respect to the execution, validity, legality, completeness, collectibility or enforceability of any of the First Priority Documents or the ownership of any Collateral or the perfection or priority of any Lien thereon. The holders of First Priority Claims will be entitled to manage and supervise their respective loans and extensions of credit to the Obligors in accordance with applicable law and as they may otherwise, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate, and the holders of First Priority Claims may manage their loans and extensions of credit without regard to any right or interest that any Second Priority Secured Party may have in the Collateral or otherwise, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. None of the First Priority Collateral Agent, the First Priority Administrative Agent or any other First Priority Secured Party shall have any duty to any Second Priority Secured Party to act or refrain from acting in a manner which allows, or results in, the occurrence or continuance of an event of default or default under any agreement with any Obligor (including the Second Priority Documents), regardless of any knowledge thereof which they may have or be charged with.
     7.3 No Waiver of Lien Priorities.
     (a) To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, no right of the First Priority Collateral Agent, the First Priority Administrative Agent, the other First Priority Secured Parties or any of them to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of any Obligor or by any act or failure to act by any First Priority Secured Party, or by any noncompliance by any Person with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Agreement or any of the First Priority Documents or the Second Priority Documents, regardless of any knowledge thereof which the First Priority Collateral Agent, the First Priority Administrative Agent or the other First Priority Secured Parties, or any of them, may have or be otherwise charged with. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, no right of the Second Priority Collateral Agent, the Second Priority Administrative Agent, the other Second Priority Secured Parties or any of them to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of any Obligor or by any act or failure to act by any Second Priority Secured Party, or by any noncompliance by any Person with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Agreement or any of the Second Priority Documents, regardless of any knowledge thereof which the Second Priority Collateral Agent, the Second Priority Administrative Agent or the other Second Priority Secured Parties, or any of them, may have or be otherwise charged with.
     (b) Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph (but subject to the rights of the Obligors under the First Priority Documents), the First Priority Secured Parties and any of them may, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Second Priority Secured Party, without incurring any liability to any Second Priority Secured Party and without impairing or releasing the lien priorities and other benefits provided in this Agreement (even if any right of subrogation or other right or remedy of any Second Priority Secured Party is affected, impaired or extinguished thereby), do any one or more of the following:

25


 

          (i) make loans and advances to any Obligor or issue, guaranty or obtain letters of credit for account of any Obligor or otherwise extend credit to any Obligor, in any amount and on any terms, whether pursuant to a commitment or as a discretionary advance and whether or not any default or event of default or failure of condition is then continuing;
          (ii) change the manner, place or terms of payment or change or extend the time of payment of, or renew, exchange, amend, increase or alter, the terms of any of the First Priority Claims or any First Priority Lien or guaranty thereof or any liability of the Obligors, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof (including any increase in or extension of the First Priority Claims), without any restriction as to the amount, tenor or terms of any such increase or extension or otherwise amend, renew, exchange, extend, modify or supplement in any manner any Liens held by the holders of First Priority Claims, the First Priority Claims or any of the First Priority Documents;
          (iii) sell, exchange, release, surrender, realize upon, enforce or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any part of the Collateral or any liability of any Obligor to the First Priority Secured Parties, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof;
          (iv) settle or compromise any First Priority Claim or any other liability of any Obligor or any security therefor or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof and apply any sum by whomsoever paid and however realized to any liability (including the First Priority Claims) in any manner or order; and
          (v) exercise or delay in or refrain from exercising any right or remedy against any Obligor or any security or any other Person, elect any remedy and otherwise deal freely with the Obligors and the Collateral and any security or any liability of any Obligor to the holders of First Priority Claims or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof.
     (c) Each of the Second Priority Collateral Agent and the Second Priority Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, also agrees, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, that no First Priority Secured Party shall have any liability to any of them, and each of them, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, hereby waives any claim against any First Priority Secured Party, arising out of any action which such holders of First Priority Claims may take or permit or omit to take with respect to the foreclosure upon, or sale, liquidation or other disposition of, the Collateral. Each of the Second Priority Collateral Agent and the Second Priority Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, agrees that none of the First Priority Collateral Agent, the First Priority Administrative Agent or any other First Priority Secured Party shall have any duty to them, express or implied, fiduciary or otherwise, in respect of the maintenance or preservation of the Collateral, the First Priority Claims or otherwise.
     (d) Each of the Second Priority Collateral Agent and the Second Priority Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, agrees not to assert and hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to demand,

26


 

request, plead or otherwise assert or otherwise claim the benefit of, any marshaling, appraisal, valuation or other similar right that may otherwise be available under applicable law or any other similar right a junior secured creditor may have under applicable law.
     7.4 Obligations Unconditional. All rights, interests, agreements and obligations of the First Priority Secured Parties and the Second Priority Secured Parties hereunder shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:
     (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any First Priority Document or Second Priority Document or any setting aside or avoidance of any First Priority Lien or Second Priority Lien;
     (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other terms of, any First Priority Claim or Second Priority Claim, or any amendment or waiver or other modification, including any increase in the amount thereof, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, of the terms of the First Priority Documents or the Second Priority Documents;
     (c) any exchange of any security interest in any Collateral or any other collateral, or any amendment, waiver or other modification, whether in writing or by course of conduct or otherwise, of any First Priority Claim or Second Priority Claim or any guarantee thereof;
     (d) the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of any Obligor; or
     (e) any other circumstance which otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Obligor in respect of the First Priority Claims or Second Priority Claims or of any First Priority Secured Party or Second Priority Secured Party in respect of this Agreement.
     Section 8. Miscellaneous.
     8.1 Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the First Priority Documents and the Second Priority Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern and control.
     8.2 Continuing Nature of this Agreement. This Agreement shall continue to be effective until the Discharge of First Priority Claims shall have occurred. This is a continuing agreement of lien priority. Each of the Second Priority Collateral Agent and the Second Priority Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, hereby irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally waives any right it may have under applicable law to revoke this Agreement or any provisions hereof.
     8.3 Amendments; Waivers. No amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to be made unless the same shall be in writing signed by the First Priority Collateral Agent, the First Priority Administrative Agent, the Second Priority Collateral Agent and the Second Priority Administrative Agent and, subject to the immediately following sentence, each Obligor and each waiver, if any, shall be a waiver only with respect to the specific instance involved and shall in no way impair the rights of the parties making such waiver or the obligations of the other parties to such party in any other respect or at any other time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Obligor shall have any right to consent to or approve

27


 

any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement except to the extent its rights are directly affected (which includes any amendment to such Obligor’s ability to cause additional obligations to constitute First Priority Claims or Second Priority Claims as such Obligor may designate).
     8.4 Information Concerning Financial Condition of the Obligors and their Subsidiaries.
     (a) Each of the First Priority Secured Parties and the Second Priority Secured Parties, as separate groups of secured creditors, shall be responsible for keeping themselves informed of (i) the financial condition of the Obligors and their Subsidiaries and all endorsers and/or guarantors of the First Priority Claims or the Second Priority Claims and (ii) all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the First Priority Claims or the Second Priority Claims.
     (b) None of the First Priority Collateral Agent, the First Priority Administrative Agent or any other First Priority Secured Party shall have any duty to advise the Second Priority Collateral Agent, the Second Priority Administrative Agent or any other Second Priority Secured Party of information known to it or them regarding such condition or any such circumstance or otherwise. In the event the First Priority Collateral Agent or the First Priority Administrative Agent or any other First Priority Secured Party undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to any Second Priority Secured Party, it or they shall be under no obligation (i) to provide any additional information or to provide any such information on any subsequent occasion, (ii) to undertake any investigation or (iii) to disclose any information which, pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance practices, such party wishes to maintain confidential.
     8.5 Certain Successors. Each successor First Priority Collateral Agent and Second Priority Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver a counterpart of and become a party to this Agreement (but the failure to execute such counterpart shall not diminish such Person’s obligations under this Agreement).

Following the Discharge of First Priority Claims and until the Discharge of Second Priority Claims has occurred, all payments received by the holders of Second Priority Claims may be applied, reversed and reapplied, in whole or in part, to such part of the Second Priority Claims as the holders of Second Priority Claims, in their sole discretion, deem appropriate.
     8.7 Marshalling of Assets. Each of the Second Priority Collateral Agent and the Second Priority Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, hereby irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally waives any and all rights or powers any Second Priority Secured Party may have at any time under applicable law or otherwise to have the Collateral, or any part thereof, marshaled upon any foreclosure or other enforcement of the First Priority Liens or the Second Priority Liens.

28


 

     8.8 No Purchase Option in Favor of Second Priority Secured Parties. Without in any manner limiting the other provisions of this Agreement (including as to the enforcement of the rights, powers and/or remedies of the First Priority Collateral Agent, the First Priority Administrative Agent or the other First Priority Secured Parties in and to the Collateral), nothing herein is intended to grant the Second Priority Secured Parties the option to purchase the aggregate amount (or any other portion) of the outstanding First Priority Claims, whether at par or at any other price or under any other terms or conditions.
     8.9 Notices. (a) All notices to the First Priority Secured Parties permitted or required under this Agreement may be sent to the First Priority Administrative Agent (with a copy to the First Priority Collateral Agent). All notices to the Second Priority Secured Parties permitted or required under this Agreement may be sent to the Second Priority Administrative Agent (with a copy to the Second Priority Collateral Agent). All notices to the Obligors permitted or required under this Agreement may be sent to the Borrower. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing (including by facsimile transmission or other electronic means). All such written notices shall be mailed, faxed or delivered to the applicable address, facsimile number or electronic mail address as set forth below each party’s name on the signature pages hereto, or, as to each party, at such other address as may be designated by such party in a written notice to all of the other parties. All such notices and other communications shall be deemed to be given or made upon the earlier to occur of (i) actual receipt by the relevant party hereto and (ii) (A) if delivered by hand or by courier, when signed for by or on behalf of the relevant party hereto; (B) if delivered by mail, four (4) Business Days after deposit in the mails, postage prepaid; (C) if delivered by facsimile, when sent and receipt has been confirmed by telephone; and (D) if delivered by electronic mail, when delivered.

     8.10 Further Assurances. Each of the First Priority Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the other First Priority Secured Parties, the Second Priority Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, and each Obligor, agrees that each of them shall take such further action and shall execute and deliver such additional documents and instruments (in recordable form, if requested) as any other party may reasonably request to effect the terms of this Agreement (including, in the case of the First Priority Administrative Agent and the Second Priority Administrative Agent, to direct the First Priority Collateral Agent and the Second Priority Collateral Agent to do the same). Each of Holdings and the Borrower shall cause each of its Subsidiaries that becomes an Obligor to execute and deliver a counterpart of and become a party to this Agreement.
     8.11 Governing Law. (a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
     8.12 Binding on Successors and Assigns; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the First Priority Collateral Agent, the First Priority Administrative Agent, the other First Priority Secured Parties (including to the benefit of any successors to the First Priority Secured Parties by virtue of any refinancing), the Second Priority Collateral Agent, the Second Priority Administrative Agent, the other Second Priority Secured Parties (including to the benefit of any successors to the Second Priority

29


 

Secured Parties by virtue of any refinancing), and their respective successors and assigns. No other Person shall have or be entitled to assert rights or benefits hereunder. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Obligors and their successors and assigns; provided that no Obligor or any successor or assign thereof shall be entitled to enforce any provision of this Agreement (other than any provision hereof expressly preserving any right of any Obligor under any First Priority Document or Second Priority Document).
     8.13 Specific Performance. Each of the First Priority Collateral Agent, the First Priority Administrative Agent, the Second Priority Collateral Agent and the Second Priority Administrative Agent may demand specific performance of this Agreement. Each of the Second Priority Collateral Agent and the Second Priority Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, hereby irrevocably waives any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law and any other defense which might be asserted to bar the remedy of specific performance in any action which may be brought by the First Priority Collateral Agent, the First Priority Administrative Agent or any other First Priority Secured Party (other than the defense that the obligation for which specific performance is being sought has been performed in accordance with this Agreement). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or of the other provisions of this Agreement, in seeking specific performance in any Insolvency Proceeding, the First Priority Collateral Agent and the First Priority Administrative Agent may seek such relief as if it were the “holder” of the claims of the Second Priority Secured Parties under Section 1126(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise had been granted an irrevocable power of attorney by the Second Priority Secured Parties.
     8.14 Section Titles; Time Periods. The section titles contained in this Agreement are and shall be without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and are not a part of this Agreement.
     8.15 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by telecopier of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement.
     8.16 Authorization. By its signature, each Person executing this Agreement on behalf of a party hereto represents and warrants to the other parties hereto that it is duly authorized to execute this Agreement.
     8.17 Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective when executed and delivered by the parties listed below. This Agreement shall be effective both before and after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding. Consistent with, but not in limitation of, the preceding sentence, each of the First Priority Collateral Agent and the First Priority Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the other First Priority Secured Parties, and each of the Second Priority Collateral Agent and the Second Priority Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, irrevocably acknowledges that this Agreement constitutes a “subordination agreement” within the meaning of both New York law and Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. All references to any Obligor shall include any Obligor as debtor and debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such Obligor (as the case may be) in any Insolvency Proceeding.

30


 

     8.18 Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights. The provisions of this Agreement are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the First Priority Secured Parties and the Second Priority Secured Parties as separate groups of secured creditors. Neither the Borrower nor any other Obligor (including any Guarantor) or any other creditor thereof shall have any right hereunder. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall impair the obligations of the Borrower or any other Obligor, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay the First Priority Claims and the Second Priority Claims as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms. Each provision hereunder applicable to the First Priority Secured Parties and the Second Priority Secured Parties shall be applicable to, and binding upon them, solely in their respective capacities as such.
     8.19 Exclusive Means of Exercising Rights under this Agreement. The First Priority Secured Parties shall be deemed to have irrevocably appointed the First Priority Administrative Agent as their exclusive agent hereunder. The Second Priority Secured Parties shall be deemed to have irrevocably appointed the Second Priority Administrative Agent as their exclusive agent hereunder. Consistent with such appointment, (a) the First Priority Secured Parties further shall be deemed to have agreed that only the First Priority Administrative Agent (and not any individual claimholder or group of claimholders) as agent for the First Priority Secured Parties, or any of the First Priority Administrative Agent’s agents (including the First Priority Collateral Agent) shall have the right on their behalf to exercise any rights, powers, and/or remedies under or in connection with this Agreement (including bringing any action to interpret or otherwise enforce the provisions of this Agreement); provided that (i) First Priority Secured Parties holding obligations in respect to obligations in respect of hedging agreements may exercise customary netting rights with respect thereto, (ii) cash collateral may be held pursuant to the terms of the First Priority Documents (including any relating to hedging agreements) and any such individual First Priority Secured Party may act against such cash collateral, and (iii) First Priority Secured Parties may exercise customary rights of setoff against depository or other accounts maintained with them; and (b) the Second Priority Secured Parties further shall be deemed to have agreed that only the Second Priority Administrative Agent (and not any individual claimholder or group of claimholders), as the agent of the Second Priority Secured Parties, or any of the Second Priority Administrative Agent’s agents (including the Second Priority Collateral Agent) shall have the right on their behalf to exercise any rights, powers, and/or remedies under or in connection with this Agreement (including bringing any action to interpret or otherwise enforce the provisions of this Agreement). Specifically, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each First Priority Secured Party or group of First Priority Secured Parties and each Second Priority Secured Party or group of Second Priority Secured Parties shall not be entitled to take or file, but instead shall be precluded from taking or filing (whether in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise), any action, judicial or otherwise, to enforce any right or power or pursue any remedy under this Agreement (including any declaratory judgment or other action to interpret or otherwise enforce the provisions of this Agreement), except solely as provided in the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence.
     8.20 Right of First Priority Collateral Agent to Continue. Any Person serving as First Priority Collateral Agent shall be entitled to continue, including to continue to perform his, her or its rights, obligations and duties, as the First Priority Collateral Agent, notwithstanding whether any such Person has served or is serving as the Second Priority Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence of this Section 8.20, any Person

31


 

serving as First Priority Collateral Agent shall be entitled to continue to so serve in such capacity (including to continue to perform any of such First Priority Collateral Agent’s rights, obligations, and/or duties) even if any such Person has resigned as the Second Priority Collateral Agent, but such resignation has not become effective for any reason, including because a successor Second Priority Collateral Agent has not been appointed or has accepted such appointment, without any liability to any of the Second Priority Secured Parties by virtue of any such resignation and any of the circumstances relating in any manner whatsoever to such resignation.
     8.21 Interpretation. This Agreement is a product of negotiations among representatives of, and has been reviewed by counsel to, each of the First Priority Collateral Agent, the Second Priority Collateral Agent, the First Priority Administrative Agent, the Second Priority Administrative Agent and each Obligor and is the product of those Persons on behalf of themselves and the First Priority Secured Parties (in the case of the First Priority Administrative Agent) and the Second Priority Secured Parties (in the case of the Second Priority Administrative Agent). Accordingly, this Agreement’s provisions shall not be construed against, or in favor of, any party or other Person merely by virtue of the extent of that party or other Person’s involvement, or lack of involvement, in the preparation of this Agreement and of any of its specific provisions.
     8.22 Forum Selection and Consent to Jurisdiction. ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK CITY OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF SUCH STATE, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY HERETO CONSENTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHER DOCUMENT RELATED THERETO.
     8.23 WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER FOUNDED IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS

32


 

SECTION 8.23 WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.
     8.24 Bond Conversion Offer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, on and after the Consummation Date, (i) any references to the Second Priority Credit Agreement shall be replaced by the trust indenture entered into by the Borrower on the Consummation Date and (ii) this Agreement shall be automatically amended mutatis mutandis to reflect the continuation or replacement of the second priority liens of the lenders under the Second Priority Credit Agreement with the second priority liens of the trustee on behalf of the bondholders under the trust indenture entered into by the Borrower on the Consummation Date.
     8.25 No Contest. Each of the Second Priority Collateral Agent and the Second Priority Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, agrees that none of them shall contest, in an Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, the enforceability of any provision of this Agreement.

FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS & ASSUMPTIONS
     These Financial Projections should be read in conjunction with the assumptions, qualifications and explanations set forth herein as well as the “Feasibility of the Plan” and “Risk Factors to be Considered” sections of the Disclosure Statement, which can be found at pages 70 and 33 thereof, respectively.
     The Financial Projections set forth below have been prepared based on the assumption that the Effective Date will be September 30, 2011. Although the Company is seeking to cause the Effective Date to occur as soon as practicable, there can be no assurance as to when or if the Effective Date will actually occur.
     Travelport Holdings Limited’s Projected Consolidated Statements of Operations set forth below present the projected consolidated results of operations of the Debtor from 2011 through 2015. The financial statements include various estimated exit costs and financing adjustments which reflect the assumed effects of confirmation, including the settlement of various liabilities and related securities issuances, cash payments and borrowings.
     THE FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS ARE PRESENTED SOLELY FOR THE PURPOSE OF PROVIDING “ADEQUATE INFORMATION” UNDER SECTION 1125 OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE TO ENABLE THE HOLDERS OF CLAIMS ENTITLED TO VOTE ON THE PLAN TO MAKE AN INFORMED JUDGMENT ABOUT THE OUT-OF-COURT TRANSACTION AND PLAN AND SHOULD NOT BE USED OR RELIED ON FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSE, INCLUDING THE PURCHASE OR SALE OF SECURITIES OF, OR CLAIMS OR EQUITY INTERESTS IN, THE COMPANY OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES.
     THE ASSUMPTIONS AND RESULTANT FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS AND SUBSEQUENTLY IDENTIFIED VARIANCES CONTAIN CERTAIN STATEMENTS THAT MAY BE CONSIDERED “FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS” WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995. THE FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS HAVE BEEN PREPARED BY THE COMPANY’S MANAGEMENT AND ADVISORS. THESE FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS AND SUBSEQUENTLY IDENTIFIED VARIANCES, IF ANY, WHILE PRESENTED WITH NUMERICAL SPECIFICITY, ARE BASED ON A VARIETY OF ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS WHICH, THOUGH CONSIDERED REASONABLE BY MANAGEMENT, MAY NOT BE REALIZED OR MAY BE UNDERSTATED, AND ARE INHERENTLY SUBJECT TO SIGNIFICANT BUSINESS, ECONOMIC, AND COMPETITIVE UNCERTAINTIES AND CONTINGENCIES, MANY OF WHICH ARE BEYOND THE COMPANY’S CONTROL. THE COMPANY CAUTIONS THAT NO ASSURANCES CAN BE MADE AS TO THE ACCURACY OF THE ASSUMPTIONS AND RESULTANT FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS OR THE ABILITY OF THE FILING ENTITY AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES TO ACHIEVE THE PROJECTED RESULTS FOLLOWING THE RESTRUCTURING. SOME ASSUMPTIONS INEVITABLY WILL NOT

 


 

MATERIALIZE, AND EVENTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES OCCURRING SUBSEQUENT TO THE DATE ON WHICH THE FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS WERE PREPARED MAY BE DIFFERENT FROM THOSE ASSUMED, OR MAY BE UNANTICIPATED, AND THUS MAY AFFECT FINANCIAL RESULTS IN A MATERIAL AND POSSIBLY ADVERSE MANNER. THE FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS, THEREFORE, MAY NOT BE RELIED ON AS A GUARANTY OR OTHER ASSURANCE OF THE ACTUAL RESULTS THAT WILL OCCUR.
     THE FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS WERE NOT PREPARED WITH A VIEW TO COMPLYING WITH THE GUIDELINES FOR PROSPECTIVE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PUBLISHED BY THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS. THE COMPANY’S INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS HAVE NEITHER EXAMINED NOR COMPILED THE FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS AND, ACCORDINGLY, DO NOT EXPRESS AN OPINION OR ANY OTHER FORM OF ASSURANCE WITH RESPECT THERETO, ASSUME NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS AND DISCLAIM ANY ASSOCIATION WITH THE FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS.
     THE FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS DO NOT REFLECT THE IMPACT OF FRESH START REPORTING IN ACCORDANCE WITH AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS STATEMENT OF POSITION 90-7, “FINANCIAL REPORTING BY ENTITITES IN REORGANIZATION UNDER THE BANKRUPTCY CODE”. THE IMPACT OF FRESH START REPORTING, WHEN REFLECTED AT THE EFFECTIVE DATE, MAY HAVE A MATERIAL IMPACT ON THE REORGANIZED COMPANY’S CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET AND PROSPECTIVE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. THE COMPANY AND ITS ADVISORS, HOWEVER, DO NOT BELIEVE AT THIS TIME THAT FRESH START ADJUSTMENTS IN SUCH BALANCE SHEET WILL HAVE A MATERIAL IMPACT ON PROJECTED RECOVERIES FOR CREDITORS.
     THE COMPANY DOES NOT, AS A MATTER OF COURSE, PUBLISH ITS BUSINESS PLANS AND STRATEGIES OR PROJECTIONS OF ITS ANTICIPATED FINANCIAL POSITION OR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. ACCORDINGLY, THE COMPANY DOES NOT INTEND, AND DISCLAIMS ANY OBLIGATION, TO: (1) FURNISH UPDATED BUSINESS PLANS OR FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS TO HOLDERS OF CLAIMS OR EQUITY INTERESTS PRIOR TO THE EFFECTIVE DATE, OR TO HOLDERS OF SECURITIES OF ANY FILING ENTITY, OR ANY OTHER PARTY AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE; (2) INCLUDE SUCH UPDATED INFORMATION IN ANY DOCUMENTS THAT MAY BE REQUIRED TO BE FILED WITH THE BANKRUPTCY COURT OR ANY GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY OR ENTITY; OR (3) OTHERWISE MAKE SUCH UPDATED INFORMATION PUBLICLY AVAILABLE. HOWEVER, FROM TIME TO TIME, THE COMPANY MAY PREPARE UPDATED FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS IN CONNECTION WITH PURSUING FINANCINGS, CREDIT RATINGS AND OTHER PURPOSES.

Notes to Financial Projections
A. Accounting Policies
     The Financial Projections have been prepared using accounting policies that are consistent with those applied in the Company’s historical financial statements.
     The Company believes, at this point, that it will qualify for treatment under fresh start accounting principles outlined in SOP 90-7. The Financial Projections do not reflect the impact of fresh start reporting; however, assets and liabilities have been adjusted to reflect the capital structure upon emergence.
B. Summary of Significant Assumptions
     The Company, with the assistance of various advisors, prepared the Financial Projections for each of the five years ending December 31, 2011 through 2015. The Financial Projections reflect numerous assumptions, including various assumptions regarding the anticipated future performance of the subsidiaries, industry performance, general business and economic conditions and other matters, most of which are beyond the control of the companies. Therefore, although the Financial Projections are necessarily presented with numerical specificity, the actual results achieved during the projection period will vary from the projected results. These variations may be material. Although the Company believes that the assumptions underlying the Financial Projections, when considered on an overall basis, are reasonable in light of current circumstances, no representation can be or is being made with respect to the accuracy of the Financial Projections or the ability of its subsidiaries to achieve the projected results of operations. In deciding whether to vote to accept or reject the Plan, claimants must make their own determinations as to the reasonableness of such assumptions and the reliability of the Financial Projections.
     Additional information relating to the principal assumptions used in preparing the Financial Projections is set forth below:
      General Market Conditions
     The Financial Projections take into account the current market environment in which Travelport competes, including many economic and financial forces that are beyond the control of the Company and management. Economic growth or slowdowns on a global or regional basis may impact Travelport’s performance. Industry dynamics that impact negotiations with Travelport’s suppliers and / or customers will also impact profitability. In general, the Financial Projections assume that economic conditions will improve over the projection period.
      Methodology
     The Financial Projections were prepared based on several key assumptions as discussed below.

C-8


 

      Net Sales
     Net sales are expected to increase by approximately 3%, 2%, 6%, 7% and 7% in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015, respectively. Fluctuations in net sales are a result of the following:
          o GDS Booking Fees
     GDS booking fees are expected to increase by approximately 1%, 5%, 6%, 7% and 7% in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015, respectively. Booking fees are projected based on growth in the GDS industry, as correlated with projections for global GDP growth, a slowdown in the decrease in airline yields per segment and improvements in land and sea attachment rates.
          o Airline IT and Other Revenue
     Airline IT Solutions revenue is projected to increase by 6% in 2011, decrease by 29% and by 12% in 2012 and 2013, respectively, and then increase annually by 1% throughout the forecast. 2011 revenue reflects the increase in revenues from the Delta / Northwest and United / Continental consolidations. Subsequent revenue declines reflect the loss of United revenues, as previously discussed.
     Other revenues are expected to increase by approximately 30%, 16%, 26%, 20% and 18% in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015, respectively. The growth in other revenues is based on Travelport’s continued investment in its hospitality strategy and other related initiatives.
      Gross Margin
     Gross margin as a percentage of net sales is expected to decline to 54%, 51%, 49%, 48%, 47% in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015, respectively. Gross margin declines reflect the loss of the high-margin United IT contract and continued increases in costs of revenue per segment projected to result from future negotiations with travel agents.
      Corporate Expenses and Other
          o Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
     Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses include wages and benefits, technology, selling, marketing, distribution, general and administrative, and external expenses. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses are projected to decline over the projection period from approximately 31% in 2011 to 26% in 2015, driven by the realization of cost reduction initiatives and the leveraging of fixed costs over a greater revenue base.

C-9


 

          o Interest Expense, net
     The Financial Projections reflect interest expense incurred under the Company and its subsidiaries’ current borrowings and reflect the adjusted terms that will result from the proposed restructuring. The Financial Projections also include Travelport’s current interest rate swap contracts through their termination.
          o Income Taxes
     The Financial Projections include income tax expense calculated in a manner consistent with US GAAP and reflect that the Company on a consolidated basis is subject to income tax in the United States and numerous non-US jurisdictions. The effective tax rate varies materially from the US federal statutory tax rate with the following items having a consistent material impact: (a) the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to income tax in numerous non-US jurisdictions with varying tax rates, (b) GDS earnings outside the US are taxed at an effective rate that is lower than the US federal rate and remains at a consistent level, (c) the location of the Travelport’s debt in countries with no or low rates of federal tax implies limited deductions for interest, and (d) a valuation allowance is established against the deferred tax assets established in the United States.
          o Capital Expenditures
     Capital expenditures for the projection period are based on Travelport’s capital spending budget and are primarily related to technology enhancements. In 2011, capital expenditures are projected to be $73 million. In 2012 through 2015, capital expenditures are projected to be $80 million per year.
          o Working Capital and Other Balance Sheet Accounts
     Working capital is comprised of accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other accrued expenses. Working capital projections assume that airline payments and travel agent incentives will remain relatively constant over the projected period. Accrued expenses reflect the return to paying employee bonuses, with the first payment made in the second half of 2011 and the first full-year payment made in 2012. Other significant cash payments include pension expenses, prepaid incentives to travel agents, financing fees and restructuring charges. GTA’s 2011 performance is excluded from Adjusted EBITDA, but GTA’s cash flows are included as “Cash Flow from Discontinued Ops”.
          o Capital Structure
     The capital structure upon emergence is assumed as follows:
     (a) Senior Secured Credit Facility: On or after the Effective Date, the Company’s subsidiaries will be indebted under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, which consists of the following: non-extended first lien term loans of $162

C-10


 

million with a maturity in August 2013 and an interest rate of LIBOR + 2.50%.; and extended first lien terms loans of $1.461 billion with a maturity in August 2015, but accelerated to May 2014 if the Senior Notes have not been repaid or refinanced, and varying interest rates of approximately LIBOR / EURIBOR + 4.50%. The Financial Projections include a mandatory cash flow sweep to repay the Senior Secured Credit Facility, as is required by the Senior Secured Credit Facility amendment.
     (b) Second Lien OpCo Term Loan: On or after the Effective Date, the Company’s subsidiaries will be indebted under the Second Lien OpCo Term Loan of approximately $343 million with a maturity in December 2016 and an interest rate of LIBOR + 6.00%. The Financial Projections assume this interest is payment-in-kind (PIK) throughout the forecast.
     (c) Senior Notes: On or after the Effective Date, the Company’s subsidiaries will be indebted under the Senior Notes, which consist of the following: Senior 2006 Notes of $781 million with a maturity in September 2014 and interest rates of 9.875% and LIBOR / EURIBOR + 4.625%.; and 9% Notes of $250 million with a maturity in March 2016 and an interest rate of 9.00%. The Senior Notes are assumed to be selectively repurchased as required under the Senior Secured Credit Facility amendment.
     (d) Senior Subordinated Notes: On or after the Effective Date, the Company’s subsidiaries will be indebted under the Senior Subordinated Notes, which consist of the following: $427 million with a maturity in September 2016 and interest rates of 10.875% and 11.875%.
     (e) Tranche A Extended PIK Loans: On or after the Effective Date, the Company will be indebted under the Tranche A Extended PIK Loans of $135 million with a maturity in September 2012 and an interest rate of LIBOR + 6.00%. On a consolidated basis, the Tranche A Extended PIK Loans will be eliminated from the balance sheet, with a corresponding reduction in the consolidated total assets.
     (f) Tranche B Extended PIK Loans: On or after the Effective Date, the Company will be indebted under the Tranche B Extended PIK Loans of approximately $287.5 million with a maturity in December 2016 and an interest rate of LIBOR + 13.50%.
     (g) New Common Stock: For purposes of the Financial Projections, value has been ascribed to the common equity of the Company, commensurate with the equity value as determined by the Valuation Analysis in the Disclosure Statement.

DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
OF TRAVELPORT HOLDINGS LIMITED
LIQUIDATION ANALYSIS

 


 

LIQUIDATION ANALYSIS
A. Introduction1
     The Company, with the assistance of its financial advisors, has prepared this hypothetical liquidation analysis (the “Liquidation Analysis”) in connection with the Disclosure Statement for the purpose of evaluating whether the Plan meets the so-called “best interests” test under section 1129(a)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code. With respect to each Impaired Class of Claims and Interests, confirmation of the Plan requires that each Holder of a Claim or Interest either (a) accept the Plan or (b) receive or retain under the Plan property of a value, as of the Plan’s Effective Date, that is not less than the value such non-accepting Holder would receive or retain if the Debtor was to be liquidated under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code.
     In determining whether the best interests test has been met, the first step is to determine the dollar amount that would be generated from a hypothetical liquidation of the Debtor’s assets. Such amount should be reduced by the costs and expenses of the liquidation. Remaining liquidation proceeds then would be applied to any amounts necessary to satisfy administrative fees and expenses, priority tax claims and other priority claims that are senior to general unsecured claims, including any incremental administrative claims that may result from the liquidation of the Company. Any remaining cash would be available for distribution to general unsecured creditors and shareholders in accordance with the priority scheme established by section 726 of the Bankruptcy Code.
     The Liquidation Analysis has been prepared assuming that, in the event the Company files the Chapter 11 Case, such case converts to a chapter 7 case under the Bankruptcy Code on September 30, 2011 (the “Liquidation Date”). A chapter 7 trustee (the “Trustee”) would be appointed or elected to commence the liquidation of the Company and / or all of the Company’s assets. The Liquidation Analysis, however, does not include recoveries resulting from any potential preference claims, fraudulent conveyance litigation, or other avoidance actions.
     Estimating recoveries in any hypothetical chapter 7 liquidation is an uncertain process due to the number of unknown variables and is necessarily speculative. Thus, extensive use of estimates and assumptions has been made that, although considered reasonable by the Company’s management and its financial advisors, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies beyond the control of the Debtor.
     THE COMPANY MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES REGARDING THE ACCURACY OF THE ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS OR THE ABILITY TO ACHIEVE FORECASTED RESULTS. IN THE EVENT THE CHAPTER 11 CASE IS CONVERTED TO A CHAPTER 7 CASE, ACTUAL
 
1   Unless otherwise defined herein, each capitalized term shall have the meaning ascribed to it in the Disclosure Statement to which this Liquidation Analysis is attached.

 


 

RESULTS MAY VARY MATERIALLY FROM THE ESTIMATES AND PROJECTIONS SET FORTH IN THE LIQUIDATION ANALYSIS AND THERE CAN BE NO ASSURANCE THAT THE VALUES REFLECTED WOULD BE REALIZED.
     Substantially all of the Debtor’s assets consist of the direct and indirect equity interests in Travelport. As such, a Liquidation Analysis of the Debtor is substantially the same analysis as that of a liquidation of Travelport. A liquidation of Travelport could be executed through an expedited sale of the equity of the Debtor’s subsidiaries or through a sale of the assets that comprise the business. Whichever method would achieve a greater liquidation value is the one that should be considered in evaluating whether the Plan meets the best interests test. Based on the limited value of Travelport’s tangible and intangible assets if sold on an asset-by-asset basis compared to the additional value such assets would retain as part of a going-concern enterprise, the Liquidation Analysis evaluated the proceeds that would be realized from an expedited sale of Travelport. The value derived reflects the nature of a Chapter 7 sale and includes such factors as (i) the shortened time period involved in the sale process; (ii) discounts buyers would require given a shorter due diligence period and therefore potentially higher risks buyers might assume; (iii) potentially negative perceptions involved in liquidation sales; (iv) the potential impact on the business and profitability; (v) the current state of the capital markets; (vi) the limited universe of prospective buyers; and (vii) competitive dynamics within the industry.
     As part of the Disclosure Statement, Blackstone Advisory Partners L.P. (“Blackstone Advisory”) conducted the Valuation Analysis to estimate the reorganization value of the Company. Blackstone Advisory’s valuation was based on a discounted cash flow analysis, comparable company trading multiples and comparable transaction multiples. As a result of the factors and circumstances discussed above, an expedited sale is assumed to result in a significant reduction in the valuation multiples of the Company’s potential earnings that were derived in the Valuation Analysis.
     The business itself would also be harmed for the same reasons previously described. The customer / supplier dynamic between airlines, travel agents, GDS providers and IT hosting providers creates an environment whereby a business would be significantly harmed if put up for auction in a distressed sale process. In order to include the impact of such business degradation, and the valuation multiple applied to the Travelport’s performance, the Liquidation Analysis assumes a 55% - 65% reduction to the valuation of the business (excluding restricted and excess cash). The Company and Blackstone Advisory believe these adjustments are conservative and could ultimately be larger. It should be noted, however, that the Debtor’s management and Blackstone Advisory, cannot judge with any degree of certainty the impact of the expedited sale process on the recoverable value of the Debtor’s assets.
     The Liquidation Analysis includes the value of the cash that as part of the Plan will be used to pay fees to current Senior Secured Credit Facility lenders and advisor expenses. As the analysis evaluates a liquidation of Travelport, the retention of this cash adds to the Debtor’s liquidation proceeds.

D-2


 

     Wind-down costs consist of (i) the regularly occurring general and administrative costs required to maintain the Debtor’s assets during the liquidation process and (ii) the cost of any professionals the Trustee employs to assist with the liquidation process, including investment bankers, attorneys and other advisors. Chapter 7 Trustee fees necessary to facilitate the sale of the Debtor’s equity interests were assumed at the statutory maximum rate of 3% of available liquidation proceeds. Actual administrative costs may exceed the estimate included in the Liquidation Analysis, particularly if the sale of the operations and reconciliation of claims takes longer than the assumed period. It is possible that distribution of the liquidation proceeds would be delayed while the Trustee and his or her professionals become knowledgeable about the Debtor’s bankruptcy proceedings, businesses and operations. No assumption has been made for the timing of the distribution of liquidation proceeds. As such, all proceeds and recoveries are presented on an undiscounted basis, separate from the discounting that is inherent in the core valuation. It is assumed that the operating units continue to manage the business in its current form and the staff currently employed will remain with the company.
     For illustrative purposes, the costs that would arise from a change of control and required refinancing of Travelport’s debt obligations were also not included, but have the potential to represent significant expenses for the Company. Lastly, the Liquidation Analysis does not include the loss of tax assets due to a change of control, the ability of a buyer to maintain the Company’s current tax structure and the impact on Travelport’s future tax payments (and thereby the value that can be achieved in a sale). The Company believes that these costs would also be significant.
     In preparing the Liquidation Analysis, the amount of Allowed Claims has been projected based on a review of the Company’s books and records. In the event litigation were necessary to resolve Claims asserted in a chapter 7 liquidation, the delay could be prolonged and Claims could further increase. The effects of this delay on the value of distributions under the hypothetical liquidation have not been considered. No order or finding has been entered by the Bankruptcy Court estimating or otherwise fixing the amount of Claims at the estimated amounts set forth in the Liquidation Analysis. THE ESTIMATED AMOUNT OF ALLOWED CLAIMS SET FORTH IN THE LIQUIDATION ANALYSIS SHOULD NOT BE RELIED ON FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY DETERMINATION OF THE VALUE OF ANY DISTRIBUTION TO BE MADE ON ACCOUNT OF ALLOWED CLAIMS UNDER THE PLAN. THE ACTUAL AMOUNT OF ALLOWED CLAIMS IN THE CHAPTER 11 CASES COULD MATERIALLY AND SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFER FROM THE AMOUNT OF CLAIMS ESTIMATED IN THE LIQUIDATION ANALYSIS.
     Travelport has its own secured and unsecured obligations that will be repaid from any proceeds generated from its sale. To the extent that the value in an expedited sale of Travelport is less than Travelport’s indebtedness, there will be no recovery for the current Holders of Allowed Claims and Interests at the Debtor.

D-3


 

     The Liquidation Analysis indicates the values, which may be obtained upon disposition of assets pursuant to a hypothetical expedited sale, as an alternative to continuation of the business as proposed under the Plan. Accordingly, values discussed herein are different than amounts referred to in the Plan and other sections or Schedules to the Disclosure Statement, which illustrate the value of the Company’s business as a going concern.
     NOTHING CONTAINED IN THIS HYPOTHETICAL LIQUIDATION ANALYSIS IS INTENDED TO BE OR CONSTITUTES A CONCESSION OR ADMISSION OF THE COMPANY.
     EVENTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES OCCURRING SUBSEQUENT TO THE DATE ON WHICH THIS LIQUIDATION ANALYSIS WAS PREPARED MAY BE DIFFERENT FROM THOSE ASSUMED, OR, ALTERNATIVELY, MAY HAVE BEEN UNANTICIPATED, AND THUS THE OCCURRENCE OF THESE EVENTS MAY AFFECT THESE ANALYSES IN A MATERIALLY ADVERSE OR MATERIALLY BENEFICIAL MANNER. THE COMPANY DOES NOT INTEND AND DOES NOT UNDERTAKE ANY OBLIGATION TO UPDATE OR OTHERWISE REVISE THE LIQUIDATION ANALYSIS (OR ANY OTHER PART OF THE DISCLOSURE STATEMENT) TO REFLECT EVENTS OR CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING OR ARISING AFTER THIS LIQUIDATION ANALYSIS IS PREPARED OR TO REFLECT THE OCCURRENCE OF UNANTICIPATED EVENTS. THEREFORE, THE LIQUIDATION ANALYSIS MAY NOT BE RELIED ON AS A GUARANTEE OR OTHER ASSURANCE OF THE ACTUAL RESULTS THAT WILL OCCUR. IN DECIDING WHETHER TO VOTE TO ACCEPT OR REJECT THE PLAN, HOLDERS OF CLAIMS MUST MAKE THEIR OWN DETERMINATIONS AS TO THE REASONABLENESS OF SUCH ASSUMPTIONS AND THE RELIABILITY OF THE LIQUIDATION ANALYSIS.

     THIS LIQUIDATION ANALYSIS WAS DEVELOPED SOLELY FOR PURPOSES OF THE FORMULATION AND NEGOTIATION OF THE OUT-OF-COURT TRANSACTION, DISCLOSURE STATEMENT AND PLAN AND TO ENABLE THE HOLDERS OF CLAIMS ENTITLED TO VOTE ON THE PLAN TO MAKE AN INFORMED JUDGMENT ABOUT THE OUT-OF-COURT TRANSACTION AND PLAN AND SHOULD NOT BE USED OR RELIED ON FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSE, INCLUDING THE PURCHASE OR SALE OF SECURITIES OF, OR CLAIMS OR INTERESTS IN, THE COMPANY OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES.

B. Assumptions and Notes
  1.   Value of Going Concern — To estimate the potential range of liquidation proceeds under an expedited going-concern sale, a discount was applied to the underlying business performance and the valuation multiples derived in the Valuation Analysis to reflect the shortened marketing period and other factors previously discussed. The recovery range also includes a discount to the value of the Orbitz Worldwide ownership, reflecting the discount required to quickly sell a large minority stake to the public or private markets. For simplicity of the analysis and illustrative purposes, the Liquidation Analysis assumes the Company maintains most of the additional sources of value that were added to the results of the discounted cash flow and comparable valuation methodologies, including the benefit of the current tax structure, the remaining value of the United Airlines hosting contract, restructuring expenses and cash proceeds from expected asset sales. As previously discussed, it is likely that a change of control or a change to the Company’s tax structure would have a meaningful impact on the Company’s tax position.
 
  2.   Restricted and Excess Cash — In addition to the restricted and excess cash balances included in the Valuation Analysis, the Liquidation Analysis includes the value of $91 million of cash that will no longer be used to pay fees to current Senior Secured Credit Facility lenders and advisor expenses.
Expenses
  3.   Trustee Fees — Trustee fees are assumed to be 3% of the gross proceeds from the liquidation of the assets.
 
  4.   Professional Fees — Professional fees represent estimates for the professional fees during a chapter 7 liquidation.
Administrative Claims
  5.   Estimated Post-Petition Claims — Include restructuring costs and other post-petition expenses that are estimated to be due and unpaid on September 30, 2011.
Travelport Obligations
  6.   OpCo Indebtedness — The Debtor’s main asset is the direct and indirect equity interests in Travelport. As of September 30, 2011, Travelport is expected to have liabilities of approximately $3.2 billion. These liabilities must all be paid from the proceeds of the expedited sale before the Holders of Allowed Claims and Interests receive any returns.

DESCRIPTION OF SHARE CAPITAL OF TRAVELPORT WORLDWIDE LIMITED

 


 

DESCRIPTION OF SHARE CAPITAL
     The following description of share capital summarizes certain provisions of the memorandum of association and bye-laws of Worldwide as of the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein. Such summaries do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, all of the provisions of the memorandum of association and bye-laws.
Share Capital
     As of the date hereof, Worldwide has authorized share capital of $12,000 and has issued 12,000 common shares, with par value $1.00 per share. Authorized share capital will be increased in order to consummate the transaction contemplated herein. In addition to increasing authorized share capital, 40% of the fully diluted issued and outstanding common stock of Worldwide will be issued, as follows: (i) 15% of the fully diluted issued and outstanding common stock of Worldwide (subject to dilution by the Management Incentive Plan) to the Holders of PIK Loan Unsecured Claims on a Pro Rata basis and (ii) 25% of the fully diluted issued and outstanding common stock of Worldwide (subject to dilution by the Management Incentive Plan) to the Equity Escrow Agent. The distribution to the Equity Escrow Agent will be distributed to the Holders of the PIK Loan Unsecured Claims in accordance with the Post-Effective Date Common Stock Distribution Schedule. As of the date hereof, no preference shares are issued or outstanding. The bye-laws permit the board of directors of Worldwide (the “Board”) to exercise all powers of Worldwide to repurchase all or any part of its own shares. Pursuant to the bye-laws and subject to any resolution of the shareholders to the contrary and to the requirements of any stock exchange on which the shares may be listed, the Board is authorized to issue any authorized but unissued shares of Worldwide on such terms and conditions as the Board may determine. Such shares may also be issued subject to such preferred, deferred or other special rights or restrictions as prescribed by resolution of the shareholders.
Common Shares
     Subject to any resolution of Worldwide to the contrary (and without prejudice to any special rights conferred thereby on the holders of any other shares or class of shares), the share capital of Worldwide comprises a single class of common shares the holders of which, subject to the provisions of the bye-laws, are (i) entitled to one vote per share; (ii) entitled to such dividends as the Board may from time to time declare; (iii) in the event of a winding-up or dissolution of Worldwide, whether voluntary or involuntary or for the purpose of a reorganization or otherwise or upon any distribution of capital, entitled to the surplus assets of Worldwide; and (iv) generally entitled to enjoy all of the rights attaching to shares. Holders of common shares have no redemption, conversion or sinking fund rights. Holders of common shares have pre-emptive rights to participate ratably in new share issuances of Worldwide under the terms of the Shareholders’ Agreement.
Dividend Rights
     Under Bermuda law, a company may not declare or pay a dividend, or make a distribution out of contributed surplus, if there are reasonable grounds for believing that the company is, or would after the payment be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due, or the realizable value of the company’s assets would thereby be less than the aggregate of its liabilities and its issued share capital and share premium accounts.
     The Board may, subject to the bye-laws and in accordance with local legislation, declare a dividend to be paid to the shareholders, in proportion to the number of shares held by them. Such dividend may be paid in Cash and/or in kind. No unpaid dividend bears interest. The Board may elect any date as the record date for determining the shareholders entitled to receive any dividend. The Board may declare and make such other distributions to the members as may be lawfully made out of the assets of Worldwide. No unpaid distribution bears interest.

 


 

Variation of Rights
     If, at any time, the share capital is divided into different classes of shares, the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class) may, whether or not Worldwide is being wound-up, be varied with the consent in writing of the holders of three-fourths of the issued shares of that class or with the sanction of a resolution passed by a majority of the votes cast at a separate general meeting of the holders of the shares of the class at which meeting the necessary quorum shall be two persons at least holding or representing by proxy one-third of the issued shares of the class. The rights conferred upon the holders of the shares of any class issued with preferred or other rights shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the shares of that class, be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further shares ranking pari passu therewith.
Meetings of Shareholders
     Under Worldwide’s bye-laws, as required by Bermuda law, an annual general meeting of shareholders shall be held each calendar year. Additionally, as required under Bermuda law, the Board shall, on the requisition of shareholders holding at the date of the deposit of the requisition not less than one-tenth of such of the paid-up share capital of Worldwide as at the date of the deposit carries the right to vote at general meetings of Worldwide, convene a special general meeting of Worldwide.
     Worldwide is required to give at least five days’ notice of an annual general meeting or a special general meeting to each shareholder entitled to vote at such meeting. Such notice requirement is subject to the ability to hold such meetings on shorter notice if such notice is agreed by (i) in the case of the annual general meeting, all the shareholders entitled to attend and vote at such meeting and (ii) in the case of a special general meeting, a majority in number of the shareholders having the right to attend and vote at the meeting together holding not less than 95% in nominal value of the shares giving a right to attend and vote at such meeting.
     The quorum required for a general meeting of shareholders of Worldwide is two or more persons present in person and representing in person or by proxy in excess of 50% of the total issued voting shares in Worldwide; provided, however, that if Worldwide shall have at any time only one shareholder, one shareholder present in person or by proxy shall constitute the necessary quorum.
Election and Removal of Directors
     Worldwide’s bye-laws provide that the Board shall consist of not less than two directors. The minimum number of directors may be increased by a resolution of the shareholders. Under the Shareholders’ Agreement, the size of the Board shall not exceed ten directors. The holders of New Equity Shares, together with their transferees, successors and assigns (the “New Equity Holders”) initially will have the right to designate one director for a 2-year term. Once the New Equity Shares then held by the New Equity Holders constitute at least 35% of the outstanding common stock of Worldwide (excluding shares issued pursuant to the Management Incentive Plan), the New Equity Holders will have the right to designate a total of two directors (each for an initial 2-year term). So long as New Equity Shares then held by the New Equity Holders constitute 20% or more of the outstanding common stock of Worldwide (excluding shares issued pursuant to the Management Incentive Plan), the New Equity Holders shall retain the right to appoint two directors. So long as New Equity Shares then held by the New Equity Holders constitute at least 10% and less than 20% of the outstanding common stock of Worldwide (excluding shares issued pursuant to the Management Incentive Plan), the New Equity Holders shall retain the right to appoint one director. Once the New Equity Shares then held by the New Equity Holders constitute less than 10% of the outstanding common stock of Worldwide (excluding shares issued pursuant to the Management Incentive Plan), the New Equity Holders shall not have the right to appoint any director. Directors, other than those designated by the New Equity Holders, shall hold office for such term as the shareholders may determine or, in the absence of such determination, until the next annual general meeting or until their successors are elected or appointed or their office is otherwise vacated. Directors designated by the New Equity Holders shall serve an initial term of two years, commencing on the date of election or appointment, and subsequent terms shall be for one year.
     Worldwide’s bye-laws state that shareholders may remove a director, other than a director designated by the New Equity Holders, provided that the notice of a meeting convened for the purpose of removing a director contains a statement of the intention to do so and is served on such director not less than 14 days before the meeting. A

director is entitled to attend the meeting and be heard on the motion for his or her removal. If a director is removed at such meeting, the shareholders may fill the vacancy at the meeting. In the absence of such election or appointment, the Board may fill the vacancy. Under the Shareholders’ Agreement, subject to Worldwide’s bye-laws, directors designated by the New Equity Holders may be removed by, and only by, the affirmative vote or written consent of the New Equity Holders, for cause or if such individual no longer satisfies independence requirements.
     A director vacates his or her office if the director is removed from office pursuant to the bye-laws, is or becomes bankrupt, is or becomes of unsound mind or dies, or resigns office by notice in writing to Worldwide. Except with respect to a director designated by the New Equity Holders, the Board may fill any vacancy occurring as a result of the death, disability, disqualification or resignation of a director. Under the Shareholders’ Agreement, if, following election to the Board, a director designated by the New Equity Holders resigns, is removed, or is unable to serve for any reason prior to the expiration of his or her term as a director, then, subject to Worldwide’s bye-laws and applicable laws, the New Equity Holders shall be entitled to designate a replacement. If the New Equity Holders are entitled to designate a person to fill any directorship and the New Equity Holders fail to do so, then such directorship shall remain vacant until filled by the New Equity Holders in accordance with the terms of the Shareholders’ Agreement.
Director and Officer Indemnity
     Worldwide’s bye-laws require Worldwide to indemnify directors and officers, and their heirs, executors and administrators, against all actions, costs, charges, losses, damages and expenses incurred or sustained by reason of any act done, concurred in or omitted in or about the execution of their duty, but the indemnity shall not extend to any matter in respect of any fraud or dishonesty which may attach to any of said persons. Each shareholder agrees to waive any claim or right of action such shareholder might have, whether individually or by or in the right of Worldwide, against any directors or officer on account of any action taken by such director or officer, of the failure of such director or officer to take any action in the performance of his duties with or for Worldwide or any subsidiary; provided, however, that such waiver shall not extend to any matter in respect of any fraud or dishonesty which may attach to a director or officer. Worldwide’s bye-laws permit the purchase of indemnity insurance.
Anti-Takeover Provisions
     The broad discretion given to the Board to designate and issue shares from undesignated shares could be deemed to have an anti-takeover effect, noting however (i) the requirement for shareholders to have passed a resolution creating sufficient authorized (but unissued share capital) before the directors may issue any shares, (ii) the power of the shareholders by ordinary resolution to remove or restrict the directors power to issue such shares in any event, and (iii) the powers of the shareholders of Worldwide to remove directors set out above.
Foreign Exchange Control Regulation
     Worldwide has been designated as a non-resident for Bermuda exchange control purposes by the BMA. Because of this designation, there are no restrictions on Worldwide’s ability to transfer funds in and out of Bermuda.
     The issue of shares and the transfer of shares in Worldwide from and or to a person regarded as resident outside Bermuda for exchange control purposes requires the prior approval of the BMA, except that general permission is given for (i) shares being transferred in the name of a nominee or other registered holder where the transfer involves no change in the ultimate beneficial ownership (ii) shares being issued or transferred to or among any persons who are holders of the shares provided that (a) no existing holder of less than 5% of the issued and outstanding share capital will as a result of the issue or transfer hold 5% or more of the issued and outstanding shares; or (b) no existing holder of between 5% and 50% of the issued and outstanding share capital will as a result of any issue or transfer hold more than 50% of the issued and outstanding shares and (iii) shares being issued or transferred between companies which are affiliated companies. Issuances and transfers of shares involving any person regarded as resident in Bermuda for exchange control purposes require specific approval under the Exchange Control Act 1972.

H-3


 

     As an “exempted company,” Worldwide is exempt from Bermuda laws which restrict the percentage of share capital that may be held by non-Bermuda residents, but as an exempted company, Worldwide may not participate in certain business transactions, including: (1) the acquisition or holding of land in Bermuda (except that required for Worldwide’s business and held by way of lease or tenancy for terms of not more than 50 years) without the express authorization of the Bermuda legislature, (2) the taking of mortgages on land in Bermuda to secure an amount in excess of $50,000 without the consent of the Minister of Finance, (3) the acquisition of any bonds or debentures secured by any land in Bermuda, other than certain types of Bermuda government securities or (4) the carrying on of business of any kind in Bermuda, except in furtherance of Worldwide’s business carried on outside Bermuda.
