(a) Confidentiality. Each of the Sellers acknowledges that it has had access to Confidential Information and that such Confidential Information is confidential and proprietary to the Business and constitutes valuable trade secrets of the Business, which affect, among other things, the successful conduct, furtherance and protection of the Business and related goodwill. Each of the Sellers acknowledges that the unauthorized use or disclosure of such Confidential Information is likely to be highly prejudicial to the interests of Buyer and its Affiliates and their respective customers, partners, vendors, advertisers, and other third party service providers, an invasion of privacy, or an improper disclosure of trade secrets. Each of the Sellers agrees that a substantial portion of the Purchase Price is being paid for (and that the Assumed Liabilities are being assumed in partial consideration for) such Confidential Information and that it represents a substantial investment having great economic and commercial value to Buyer and its Affiliates, and constitutes a substantial part of the value to Buyer and its Affiliates of the Acquired Assets and the Business. Each of the Sellers further acknowledges that Buyer and its Affiliates and the Business would be irreparably damaged if any of the Confidential Information was disclosed to, or used or exploited on behalf of, any Person other than Buyer and its Affiliates. During the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the five (5) year anniversary of the date hereof, each of the Sellers covenants and agrees that it shall not, directly or indirectly, and shall cause any Affiliates and any other Persons acting on such Seller’s behalf not to, without the prior written consent of Buyer, disclose, use, exploit, furnish or make accessible to anyone or any other Person, any such Confidential Information, except to the extent such disclosure or use is required by applicable Law or Court Order (in which event such Seller shall, to the extent practicable, inform Buyer in advance of any such required disclosure, shall cooperate with Buyer in all reasonable ways in obtaining a protective order or other protection in respect of such required use or disclosure, and shall limit such use or disclosure to the extent reasonably possible while still complying with such requirements).

(b) Non-Solicitation.

(i) Each Seller shall not and each Seller shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, on behalf of itself or any other Person solicit or attempt to solicit during the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the thirty-month anniversary of the date hereof (the “Restricted Period”), the employment of any Transferred Employee or otherwise encourage, induce, solicit or attempt to encourage, induce or solicit any Transferred Employee to leave the employment of or engagement with Buyer or any of its Affiliates; and

(ii) Each of the parties agree that during the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the one-year anniversary of the date hereof, Buyer and each Seller (Buyer on the one hand, and each Seller, on the other hand, each an “Employer” with respect to its Restricted Employee) shall not and shall cause their respective Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, on behalf of itself or any other Person solicit or attempt to solicit, the employment of any Restricted Employee or otherwise encourage, induce, solicit or attempt to encourage, induce or solicit any Restricted Employee to leave the employment of or engagement with Buyer or any of its Affiliates; provided, however, the foregoing restrictions in clauses (i) and (ii) shall not apply to (A) any general advertisement or use of search firms or recruiters (or hiring as a result thereof) which is not directed at Transferred Employees or Restricted Employees or (B) the hiring of any Transferred Employee or Restricted Employee with the prior written consent of Buyer or Seller as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 5.1(b)(ii), the term “Restricted Employee” shall mean any employee of Employer with whom the other party had contact during the course of the Marketing Agreement or during the negotiation of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement.

(c) Non-Competition. Each Seller agrees that during the Restricted Period, such Seller shall not (and shall not take any steps toward or preparations in respect of) and shall cause its Affiliates not to (or take any steps toward or preparations in respect of), directly or indirectly (including through any other Seller or Affiliate), either for itself or for any other Person, own, manage, control or in any other manner engage in a Competing Business; provided, that the foregoing shall not apply to or in any way restrict (i) being the owner of an aggregate of not more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding equity securities of a publicly traded company, (ii) acquiring any business or interest in any entity (the “Acquired Business”), part of which comprises a Competing Business, where the Competing Business forming part of the Acquired Business was not the principal reason for the acquisition (and in any event represents less than 15% of the total revenues underlying such acquisition) but was merely incidental thereto, (iii) the businesses of xxxxxxxxxx.xxx LLC or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries or (iv) doing business with a Competing Business in connection with the following business units of Parent and its Affiliates (other than Seller): travel network, hospitality solutions and airline solutions, in each case, as described in the most recently filed Form S-1 or annual report on Form 10-K of Sabre Corporation (“Holdings”). For purposes of this Section 5.1(c), the term “Competing Business” means an online travel agency which provides services of the type provided by the Business and which is directed at retail consumers.

(d) Each Seller hereby expressly acknowledges that (i) the covenants contained in Sections 5.1(a)-(c) are integral to the purchase of the Acquired Assets and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities by Buyer and that without the protection of such covenants, Buyer would not have entered into this Agreement, (ii) sufficient consideration has been given by each party to this Agreement to the other as it relates hereto and such Seller will receive significant benefits in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) the restrictions and agreements applicable to such Seller in this Agreement are reasonable in all respects (including subject matter and time period), and are necessary for the protection and preservation of Buyer and the Business and that, without such protection, Buyer’s and the

Business’ customer and vendor relationships and competitive advantages would be materially and adversely affected, (iv) that money damages will be impossible to calculate and may not adequately compensate Buyer in connection with an actual or threatened breach by such Seller or any of its Affiliates of the provisions of Sections 5.1(a)-(c) and that Buyer shall be entitled to obtain, in addition to all other remedies permitted under this Agreement, specific performance of such Seller’s obligations contained in Sections 5.1(a)-(c) in accordance with Section 7.14 hereof. Further, if at any time the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction holds that the restrictions in this Agreement are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties hereto agree that the maximum period, scope or geographical area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated period, scope or area and that this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified to cover such maximum period, scope or area. Each Seller hereby expressly waives any right to assert inadequacy of consideration as a defense to enforcement of the covenants in Sections 5.1(a)-(c) should such enforcement ever become necessary. In addition, in the event of a breach of Sections 5.1(b) or 5.1(c), the Restricted Period shall be tolled until such breach has been duly cured.

(e) No-Hire. Buyer agrees that, for the period commencing on the Closing and expiring on the six-month anniversary of the Closing, in connection with the Business or in connection with the Expedia-branded business, neither it nor any of its Affiliates shall, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment, make an offer of employment, employ or enter into any similar arrangement with any Employee set forth on Schedule 5.1(e).

5.2 Further Assurances. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein, the parties hereto agree, (i) to use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and (ii) to execute any documents, instruments or conveyances of any kind which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to carry out any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder.

5.3 Tax Matters.

(a) The Purchase Price (plus any Assumed Liabilities, to the extent properly taken into account under the Code), shall be allocated among the Acquired Assets and the covenant not to compete contained in Section 5.1(c) in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (and any similar provision of state, local or foreign Law, as appropriate) (the “Allocation”). A preliminary Allocation shall be delivered by Parent (on behalf of the Sellers) to Buyer within forty-five (45) days after the date hereof for Buyer’s review and comment. Buyer shall provide its comments to the preliminary Allocation within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof. Buyer and the Sellers will work in good faith and in an expedient manner to resolve any disputes with respect to the preliminary Allocation and reach agreement on the Allocation within sixty (60) days. If Buyer and Parent are unable to resolve any such dispute, such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth on Schedule 5.3(a). If the Purchase Price is adjusted pursuant to this Agreement, the Allocation shall be adjusted in a manner consistent with the procedures set forth above or otherwise as mutually agreed by Buyer and Parent (on behalf of the Sellers).

Neither Buyer nor the Sellers (or their Affiliates) shall take any Tax position inconsistent with such Allocation, and neither Buyer nor the Sellers (or their Affiliates)

shall agree to any proposed adjustment to the Allocation by any Governmental Authority without first giving the other party prior written notice; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall prevent Buyer or the Sellers (or their Affiliates) from settling any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any Governmental Authority based upon or arising out of the Allocation, and neither Buyer nor the Sellers (or their Affiliates) shall be required to litigate before any court any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any Governmental Authority challenging such Allocation. Not later than thirty (30) days prior to the filing of their respective IRS Form 8594 relating to this transaction, each of Buyer and the Sellers shall deliver to the other party a copy of its IRS Form 8594.

(c) To the extent not otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Sellers shall be responsible for and shall promptly pay when due all Property Taxes levied with respect to the Acquired Assets attributable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period and any Property Taxes that are TSM Taxes attributable to the TSM Pre-Closing Tax Period for which the Sellers are liable under the Marketing Agreement, and Buyer shall be responsible for all Property Taxes levied with respect to the Acquired Assets attributable to any Post-Closing Tax Period and any Property Taxes that are TSM Taxes attributable to the TSM Pre-Closing Tax Period for which Buyer is liable under the Marketing Agreement. All Property Taxes levied with respect to the Acquired Assets for a Straddle Period shall be apportioned between Buyer and the Sellers based on the number of days of such Straddle Period included in the portion constituting a Pre-Closing Tax Period and the number of days of such Straddle Period included in the portion constituting a Post-Closing Tax Period. The Sellers shall be liable for the proportionate amount of such Property Taxes attributable to the portion of such Straddle Period constituting a Pre-Closing Tax Period, and Buyer shall be liable for the proportionate amount of such Property Taxes that is attributable to the portion of such Straddle Period constituting a Post-Closing Tax Period; provided, however, that to the extent any Straddle Period includes the TSM Pre-Closing Tax Period, TSM Taxes for such portion of the Straddle Period that includes the TSM Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be allocated among Buyer and the Sellers in accordance with the Marketing Agreement, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.3, the provisions of the Marketing Agreement shall control to the extent any Property Taxes are TSM Taxes attributable to the TSM Pre-Closing Tax Period, including the portion of a Straddle Period that includes the TSM Pre-Closing Tax Period. Upon receipt of any xxxx for such Property Taxes, Buyer or Seller, as applicable, shall present a statement to the other setting forth the amount of reimbursement to which each is entitled under this Section 5.3(c) together with such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to calculate the proration amount. The proration amount shall be paid by the party owing it to the other within ten (10) days after delivery of such statement. In the event that Buyer or the Sellers make any payment for which it is entitled to reimbursement under this Section 5.3(c), the applicable party shall make such reimbursement promptly but in no event later than ten (10) days after the presentation of a statement setting forth the amount of reimbursement to which the presenting party is entitled along with such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to calculate the amount of reimbursement.

(d) Buyer and the Sellers each agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to the other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating to the Acquired Assets and the Business, including access to Books and Records, as is reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax Returns by Buyer or the Sellers (or their Affiliates), the making of any election relating to Taxes, the preparation for any audit by any Governmental Authority and the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any Tax; provided that Buyer will not be permitted to inspect or otherwise review any Consolidated Tax Return. Buyer and the Sellers shall each retain all Books and Records with respect to Taxes pertaining to the Acquired Assets and the Business until the latest of (i) seven (7) years following the date hereof,

(ii) the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations (or in the absence of an applicable statute of limitations, indefinitely), or (iii) the date of any relevant Final Determination with respect to Taxes. Buyer and the Sellers shall each cooperate fully with each other in the conduct of any audit, litigation or other proceeding relating to Taxes involving the Acquired Assets, the Business or the Allocation.

(e) Each of the Sellers shall promptly notify Buyer in writing (i) upon receipt by such Person of any pending or threatened Tax inquiries, claims, audits or assessments or (ii) prior to the decision by Sellers to pursue any “VDA” (any such inquiry, claim, assessment, audit or similar event, or decision to pursue a VDA, a “Tax Proceeding”) relating to the income, properties or operations of such Person that may reasonably be expected to relate to or give rise to an Encumbrance, restriction or limitation on use upon the Acquired Assets or otherwise adversely affect the Acquired Assets or the Business with respect to any Post-Closing Tax Period or the TSM Pre-Closing Tax Period, including any and all tax claims and assessments relating to hotel occupancy and car rental. Each of Buyer and the Sellers shall promptly notify the other in writing upon receipt of notice of any pending or threatened Tax audit or assessment challenging the Allocation. Any failure to promptly notify the other party of any Tax Proceeding shall not relieve such other party of any Liability with respect to such Tax Proceeding except to the extent such party was actually prejudiced as a result thereof. Buyer shall have sole control of the conduct of all Tax Proceedings related to the Acquired Assets or the Business, including any settlement or compromise thereof, provided, however, (i) to the extent any Tax Proceeding relates to Taxes with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, the Sellers shall control such Tax Proceeding at their own expense and the Sellers (x) shall promptly notify Buyer in writing of any such Tax Proceeding and (y) shall not settle such Tax Proceeding in whole or in part (including entering any closing agreements or participating in any VDA) without the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed or withheld and (ii) to the extent any Tax Proceeding relates to TSM Taxes attributable to the TSM Pre-Closing Tax Period, the provisions of Section 17.3 or 17.9 of the Marketing Agreement shall determine which party shall control such Tax Proceeding. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Section 5.3(e) and Section 6.4, this Section 5.3(e) will control. For purposes of this Section 5.3(e), “VDA” means any voluntary disclosure arrangement or proceeding or similar administrative process.

(f) Seller has delivered to Buyer a properly executed affidavit prepared in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.1445-2(b) certifying the Seller’s non-foreign status in a form mutually agreeable to the parties hereto.

(g) The Sellers have provided a clearance certificate or similar document(s) to the extent required by any state taxing authority in order to relieve Buyer of any obligation to withhold any portion of the Purchase Price.

(h) All transfer, stamp, documentary, sales, use, registration, value-added, conveyance, recording and other similar Taxes (including all applicable real estate transfer Taxes) incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (“Transfer Taxes”) will be borne equally by the Sellers, on one hand, and by Buyer, on the other hand. The party required by applicable Law shall file any Tax Returns with respect to such Transfer Taxes within the time period prescribed by Law, and the Sellers or Buyer, as the case may be, shall promptly reimburse the other party(ies) for any Transfer Taxes paid by the other party(ies) (or their Affiliates) for which the Sellers or Buyer, as the case may be, are responsible hereunder upon receipt of written notice that such Transfer Taxes are so payable.

(i) Until the date that is seven (7) years from the date hereof, Seller shall not under the corporate, limited liability company or partnership laws of the relevant state liquidate, or cause to be liquidated, Seller; provided, however, that Seller shall not liquidate, or cause to be liquidated prior to the date that is ten (10) years from the date hereof, if there is any Action pending or if there are any open Tax audits or unpaid assessments related to Taxes with respect to Seller.

(j) Any payments made to any party pursuant to this Section 5.3 shall constitute an adjustment of the Purchase Price for Tax purposes and shall be treated as such by Buyer and the Sellers on their Tax Returns to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

5.4 Employee Matters.

(a) Offers of Employment. Schedule 5.4(a) sets forth the Employees (the “Potential Employees”). Buyer shall make formal offers of employment to the Potential Employees no later than the date next-following the Closing Date (the “Offer Date”), with such offers to remain open until the close of business, Dallas, TX local time, on Monday, January 26, 2015. Each such offer of employment shall provide for employment (i) at a base salary or wage rate that is no less than the base salary or wage rate, as applicable, provided to such Potential Employee immediately prior to the Closing as set forth in a schedule previously provided to Buyer in folder VIII in the virtual data room, (ii) at an annual cash bonus incentive opportunity that is no less favorable than that provided to such Potential Employee by Sellers for calendar year 2014 as set forth in a schedule previously provided to Buyer in folder VIII in the virtual data room and (iii) in a position reasonably commensurate with such Potential Employee’s skill set as determined by Buyer in good faith. The Sellers shall cooperate with and use their commercially reasonable efforts to make such Potential Employees accessible to Buyer. With respect to each Employee that accepts an offer of employment with Buyer or its Affiliates, whether upon or following the Closing, the Sellers shall terminate for all purposes (including under all Seller Plans) the employment of each such Employee, effective (i) immediately prior to the Closing for those Employees who commence employment with Buyer or its Affiliates at Closing, and (ii) immediately prior to commencing employment with Buyer or its Affiliates for those Employees who commence employment with Buyer or its Affiliates after Closing. Each Employee who so commences employment with Buyer or an Affiliate thereof, whether upon or following the Closing, shall hereinafter be referred to as a “Transferred Employee” as of the Closing.

(b) No Severance Obligations. Buyer and the Sellers intend that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall not result in a severance of employment of any Transferred Employee for purposes of any Seller Plan and that the Transferred Employees will have continuous and uninterrupted employment for such purposes immediately before and immediately after the date hereof, and Buyer and the Sellers shall make reasonable efforts to ensure the same. In furtherance of the foregoing, as of and after the Closing, Buyer shall, to the extent permitted under the applicable plan, policy or arrangement, give each Transferred Employee full credit for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting and level of benefits under each employee benefit plan, policy or arrangement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any equity compensation or other incentive plans or programs) maintained by Buyer in which the Transferred Employees participate following the Closing (each, a “Buyer Plan”) for such Transferred Employee’s service prior to the Closing with Seller and its Affiliates and predecessor entities, to the same extent such service is recognized by Seller immediately prior to the Closing (other than as would result in a duplication of benefits or for purposes of benefit accrual under any defined benefit pension plan). With respect to each Buyer Plan that is a “welfare benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA), to the extent permitted under the terms of the

applicable Buyer Plan, Buyer or its Affiliates shall (i) cause there to be waived any pre-existing condition or eligibility limitations or exclusions, actively-at-work requirements, evidence of insurability and required physical examinations with respect to the Transferred Employees and their eligible dependents (except to the extent such limitations, exclusions or requirements would have applied under comparable Seller Plans) and (ii) give credit, in the year in which the Closing occurs, for purposes of satisfying any deductible and maximum out-of-pocket limitations, for all claims incurred and amounts paid by, and amounts reimbursed to, Transferred Employees and their eligible dependents under comparable Seller Plans in which the Transferred Employees and their eligible dependents participated during the plan year in which the Closing occurs (to the extent such credit would have been given under comparable Seller Plans prior to the date hereof).

(c) Accrued Bonuses. The Sellers shall pay to each Transferred Employee at such time as the 2014 annual bonuses are paid to employees generally in accordance with the applicable Seller Plan, but in no event later than March 15, 2015, such Transferred Employee’s annual bonus for 2014 services. The amount of the annual bonus paid to each Transferred Employee shall be based upon the target bonus set forth opposite such Transferred Employee’s name on Schedule 5.4(a) and determined by reference to attainment of applicable 2014 employer and individual performance objectives, as determined in accordance with the applicable Seller Plan (disregarding any continued employment obligations that may apply to any such bonuses). In addition, at Closing or at the Sellers’ first payroll run following Closing, Sellers shall pay to each Transferred Employee any other bonus amount to which such Transferred Employee is entitled in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall any annual bonus or other incentive or bonus payable in accordance with this Section 5.4(c) be reduced or adversely affected, in any case, by reason of the Transferred Employee’s termination of employment with Sellers and/or commencement of employment with Buyer in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) Paid Time Off; Vacation. Upon each Transferred Employee’s termination of employment in accordance with Section 5.4(a), the Sellers shall pay to such Transferred Employee the full balance of his or her accrued vacation and paid time off as of such termination date if and to the extent required by applicable Laws.

(e) WARN Act. Without limiting any other provision hereof, the Sellers shall be solely responsible for complying with the Worker Adjustment Retraining and Notification Act of 1988, as amended (the “WARN Act”) and any and all obligations under other applicable regulations requiring notice of plant closings, relocations, mass layoffs, reductions in force or similar actions (and for any failures to so comply), in any case, applicable to the Employees as a result of any action by any Seller on or prior to the Closing, or following the Closing with respect to any Employee who does not become a Transferred Employee for any reason. The Sellers shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates against any and all liabilities arising in connection with any failure of Seller to comply with the foregoing requirements of this Section 5.4(e) as a result of any action by any Seller on or prior to the Closing or, following the Closing, in respect of Employees who do not become Transferred Employees. In addition, Buyer shall be solely responsible for complying with the WARN Act with respect to Transferred Employees following the Closing, and shall indemnify and hold harmless Sellers and their Affiliates against any and all liabilities arising in connection with any failure to comply with such requirements.

(f) Cooperation. The parties shall reasonably cooperate to effect the intent of this Section 5.4 (including sharing relevant information to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and reasonably requested by the other party).

(g) No Third Party Beneficiaries; No Continued Service or Service Terms. The provisions of this Section 5.4 are solely for the benefit of the respective parties to this Agreement and nothing in this Section 5.4, express or implied, shall confer upon any employee, consultant, manager or other service provider (or any dependent, successor, legal representative or beneficiary thereof), any rights or remedies, including any right to continuance of employment or any other service relationship with Buyer or any of its Affiliates, or any right to compensation or benefits of any nature or kind whatsoever under this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 5.4, express or implied, shall be: (i) an amendment or deemed amendment of any plan providing benefits to any employee, or (ii) construed to interfere with the right of Buyer or its Affiliates to terminate the employment or other service relationship of any of the Transferred Employees at any time, with or without cause, or restrict any such entity in the exercise of their independent business judgment in modifying any of the terms and conditions of the employment or other service arrangement of the Transferred Employees, or (iii) deemed to obligate Buyer or its Affiliates to adopt, enter into or maintain any employee benefit plan or other compensatory plan, program or arrangement at any time. The Sellers acknowledge and agree that no Transferred Employee shall be prohibited or restricted from the proper performance of duties and responsibilities for the Buyer and/or its Affiliates following the Closing by operation of any confidentiality, non-solicitation, non-competition, intellectual property assignment or other restrictive covenant agreement between such Transferred Employee and one or more of the Sellers and/or their Affiliates, and the Sellers agree that they shall not, directly or through one or more Affiliates, seek to restrain any such performance of duties and responsibilities by any such Transferred Employee following the Closing.

5.5 Publicity. Except (a) as otherwise expressly contemplated by or necessary to implement the provisions of this Agreement or required by Law, (b) for the joint press release to be issued by the Sellers and Buyer in the form previously agreed and (c) any press release, public statements or disclosure by Buyer consistent with information previously disclosed in accordance with this Section 5.5, neither Buyer nor the Sellers (nor any of their respective Affiliates) shall issue any press release or otherwise make any public statements or disclosure with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party, except to the extent such disclosure is required by applicable Law or the rules of any stock exchange, in which case the party seeking to make such disclosure shall promptly notify the other party thereof and Buyer and the Sellers shall use reasonable efforts to cause a mutually agreeable release or announcement to be issued.

5.6 Third Party Consents.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign any Contract, Permit, or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom if an attempted assignment thereof, without the consent of another Person thereto, would constitute a Default thereunder or violation thereof, or upon transfer would in any way adversely affect the rights of Buyer or its Affiliates under such Contract, Permit, claim or right. If any transfer or assignment by any Seller to Buyer or its Affiliates, or any assumption by Buyer or its Affiliates of, any interest in, or Liability, obligation or commitment under, any Contract, Permit, claim or right requires the consent of another Person, then such transfer or assignment or assumption shall be made subject to such consent being obtained.

(b) If any such consent has not been obtained prior to the Closing, the Sellers shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to secure such consent as promptly as practicable after the Closing and Buyer shall provide or cause to be provided all commercially reasonable assistance to the Sellers (not including, with respect to Buyer or the Sellers, the payment of any consideration (unless the Buyer directs otherwise and has agreed to be responsible therefor), the commencement of litigation or the agreement to modifications of the terms of any underlying agreement in order to obtain any such consents). Until any such consent is obtained, the Sellers shall provide Buyer with the economic, claims, rights and benefits, and Buyer shall bear the burdens and obligations, from and after the Closing (including the Assumed Liabilities) under the Contract, Permit, claim or right as if the consent had been obtained in accordance with this Agreement.

(c) Subject to the preceding paragraph (b), in the event that, at any time following the Closing, the Sellers become aware (by notice from Buyer or otherwise) that Buyer did not receive all Acquired Assets at the Closing, the Sellers shall, at the Sellers’ sole cost and expense, cause the prompt transfer of any such Acquired Assets not so received to Buyer. Prior to any such transfer, the Sellers shall hold such Acquired Assets in trust for Buyer. In the event that the Sellers have transferred (other than to Buyer), sold or otherwise disposed of such Acquired Assets, the Sellers shall, at the Sellers’ sole cost and expense, make proper provision such that Buyer receives the equivalent benefit of such Acquired Assets. The Sellers shall give all reasonable assistance to Buyer (at Buyer’s request) to enable Buyer to enforce its rights under any Contract that constitutes an Acquired Asset.

(d) With respect to the Employee(s) named on Schedule 1.2(i)(B) and for the term set forth therein, Sellers shall cooperate with Buyer to enforce, for the benefit of Buyer and the Business, the noncompete, nonsolicitation, confidentiality and other restrictive covenants relating to the Acquired Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the Business contained in the agreements set forth on Schedule 1.2(i)(B) to the extent set forth therein.

5.7 Collection of Accounts Receivable; Buyer Cash.

(a) Following the Closing, in the event that any Seller receives any payments from a third party that relate to (i) any Acquired Assets or (ii) Buyer Receivables, such Seller shall, promptly following receipt of any such payment, transfer such payments to Buyer or a bank account designated by Buyer.

(b) Following the Closing, the amount of any Buyer Cash may be offset by Buyer against Buyer’s payment obligations pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement.

5.8 Bulk Sales Waiver. Subject to Section 5.3(g), Buyer and the Sellers hereby waive compliance with the terms and conditions of any applicable bulk sales Law or similar Laws that may be applicable to the sale or transfer of the Acquired Assets.

5.9 Payment of Liabilities. Following the Closing, the Sellers shall take all actions necessary to pay promptly when due all Excluded Liabilities of the Sellers pursuant to the Assumed Contracts. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Seller shall be liquidated or dissolved until such time as such Liabilities have been paid or an adequate reserve has been established therefor and no such Seller shall be wound up, liquidated or dissolved without first complying with applicable Laws.

5.10 Name Change. Each Seller shall cease the use of “Travelocity” as part of its corporate or legal name and will initiate the change in its legal name within five (5) Business Days following the date hereof so as to not include any of the foregoing names or any confusingly similar names (it being agreed that use of the acronym “TVL” for internal purposes only is acceptable), except as provided under the Transition Services Agreement.

5.11 Access to Books and Records. For a period of seven (7) years after the Closing, each of the Sellers and Buyer shall, and shall cause their respective subsidiaries to, provide to the other parties and their respective authorized representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours, to (i) all books, records and other documents related to the Business, (ii) information related to the Business and (iii) employees related to the Business (without substantial disruption of employment), in each case which are necessary or useful in connection with any audit, investigation or dispute, any litigation or investigation or any other matter requiring any such books and records, information or employees for any reasonable business purpose; provided, however, that (a) a party may refuse the other party’s representatives access if such party determines such access may unreasonably interfere with any of the businesses or operations of such party or such party’s ability to satisfy its obligations under this Agreement; (b) a party shall not be required to (or cause any of its subsidiaries to) so confer, afford such access or furnish such copies or other information to the extent that doing so would result in the breach of any confidentiality or similar agreement to which such party or any of its subsidiaries is a party or the loss of attorney-client privilege (provided that such party shall use its reasonable efforts to allow for such access or disclosure in a manner that does not result in a breach of such agreement or a loss of attorney-client privilege); and (c) no party shall be required to provide such access with respect to any information, property or employees relating to a dispute or litigation between the parties (except as required by applicable court process). Unless otherwise consented to in writing by the Sellers or Buyer, as the case may be, the other parties shall not, and shall cause their respective subsidiaries not to, for a period of seven (7) years (or such longer period as may be required by applicable Law) following the date hereof, destroy, alter or otherwise dispose of any of the books and records of the Business, or any portions thereof, relating to periods prior to the date hereof. To the extent any inconsistency exists between the provisions of this Section 5.9 and the provisions of Section 5.3(d), Section 5.3(d) shall control with respect to any Books and Records related to Taxes.

5.12 Legacy Assets.

(a) If, within the two (2) year period following the Closing, Buyer or any Seller identifies any Legacy Asset that was exclusively used in the operation of the global online travel business operated under the Transferred Brand prior to January 29, 2014, such Seller shall notify Buyer thereof (if a Seller identifies such Legacy Assets) or Buyer may provide notice thereof to the Sellers. Upon receipt or delivery, as applicable, of such notice, the Sellers shall use reasonable efforts to locate such Legacy Asset and upon locating such Legacy Asset shall, at Buyer’s election, transfer Sellers’ right, title and interest therein to Buyer.

(b) If, within the two (2) year period following the Closing, Buyer identifies any Legacy Asset (other than (a) Trademarks and (b) domain names (other than domain names that currently (i) redirect to a Transferred Brand branded domain name or (ii) function as landing or similar pages that primarily direct traffic to a Transferred Brand branded domain name, in each case excluding any Sabre branded domain name)) that was used (but not exclusively used) in the operation of the global online travel business operated under the Transferred Brand prior to January 29, 2014, Buyer may provide notice thereof to the Sellers. Upon receipt of such notice, the Sellers shall use reasonable efforts to locate such Legacy Asset and upon locating such

Legacy Asset, Buyer and the Sellers shall discuss in good faith, acting reasonably, granting Buyer access to such Legacy Asset; provided, however, that if such grant of access to such Legacy Asset pursuant to this Section 5.12(b) would in the aggregate materially impair the value of the business of the Sellers and their controlled Affiliates, as determined pursuant to the Escalation Procedures, Buyer shall have no right to use such Legacy Asset.

(c) With respect to any Legacy Asset assigned to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement consisting of source code, Buyer hereby grants to the Sellers a non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, sublicenseable, royalty-free, fully-paid up license to make, use, operate, copy, modify and exploit such Intellectual Property.

Any disagreement with respect to whether such termination of such license was effected in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.13(a) shall be resolved pursuant to the Escalation Procedures.

(b) With respect to any Buyer Shared Asset that does not constitute Intellectual Property, excluding any Buyer Shared Asset set forth on Schedule 7.1(b), Buyer and Sellers shall discuss in good faith, acting reasonably, an appropriate grant of the right to use such Buyer Shared Asset.

6.4 Defense of Third-Party Claims.

(a) If a claim for Damages is to be made by an Indemnitee hereunder as a result of any Action, investigation or other claim brought by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”), (x) such Indemnitee shall, subject to this Article VI, give prompt written notice (a

“Claim Notice”) to the applicable indemnifying party (the “Indemnifying Party”), stating that an indemnification claim pursuant to Section 6.2(a) or Section 6.3(a), as applicable, is being made and specifying in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances surrounding such Third Party Claim (to the extent known by the Indemnitee), as well as an estimate of the amount of Damages in respect of such claim, if such estimate can be reasonably determined (provided, however, that an Indemnitee shall not be bound by any estimate of Damages contained in such description and shall not lose any right to indemnification for failure to provide such reasonable detail) as soon as practicable after such Indemnitee becomes aware of the Third Party Claim for which indemnification may be sought under this Article VI; provided, that the failure of an Indemnitee to give prompt notice hereunder shall not affect the rights to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrate actual damage and prejudice caused by such failure; and (y) the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, at its sole expense, to assume such defense so long as (A) such Third Party Claim does not involve or seek any (i) non-monetary remedy or monetary Damages reasonably likely to exceed the balance of funds then remaining under the Cap, (ii) claims for equitable relief, (iii) potential criminal liability, (iv) alleged breaches of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.8 or (v) matters that would be reasonably likely to establish an adverse precedential effect, generate negative publicity, or would otherwise adversely affect a Buyer Indemnitee or the conduct of its or its Affiliates’ business or operations (each such claim, a “Specified Claim”); and (B) the Indemnifying Party acknowledges and agrees in writing without reservation that such Third Party Claim constitutes an indemnifiable Damage for which the Indemnifying Party is responsible hereunder; provided, further that the Indemnitee shall have the sole right to control such defense if not described in clause (y) of this Section 6.4(a), except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is a named defendant with respect to such Third Party Claim, in which case the Indemnifying Party shall have the sole right to control such claim on behalf of the Indemnifying Party (but not the Indemnitee); provided, further, however, that the parties shall cooperate in good faith to implement reasonable arrangements designed to preserve any existing attorney-client privilege. Each of the Sellers or Buyer shall promptly notify the Sellers or Buyer, as the case may be, upon becoming aware of any Third Party Claim asserted against any Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, that is reasonably likely to result in Damages for which a Seller Indemnitee or Buyer Indemnitee, as the case may be, is entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(b) With respect to any Third Party Claim the defense of which the Indemnifying Party elects to control pursuant to Section 6.4(a), the Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnitee (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) prior to entering into a settlement in respect of such Third Party Claim. With respect to any Third Party Claim the defense of which the Indemnitee is entitled to control pursuant to Section 6.4(a), the Indemnitee shall not be prohibited from entering into a settlement of such Third Party Claim without an Indemnifying Party’s consent; provided that, in such case, such Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to contest the amounts owed by such Indemnifying Party in respect of such Third Party Claim.

(c) The term “Damages” as used in this Article VI is not limited to matters asserted by third parties against an Indemnitee, but includes Damages incurred or sustained by an Indemnitee in the absence of Third Party Claims. Payments by a party of amounts for which such party is indemnified hereunder shall not be a condition precedent to recovery.

6.5 Manner of Payment. Any indemnification payment pursuant to this Article VI shall be effected by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the applicable Indemnitee within three (3) days after the determination of the amount thereof, whether pursuant to a final judgment, settlement or agreement among the parties hereto;

provided, that whenever any payments are required to be made by one or more Sellers in satisfaction of claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 6.2(a), the Buyer Indemnitees may, if the Escrow Account is funded pursuant to Section 5.14, but shall not be obligated to satisfy all or any portion of such payment obligation from the Escrow Account; provided, further that, to the extent that all or any portion of any indemnification payment by the Sellers is to be satisfied through funds that remain available in the Escrow Account (to the extent the Escrow Account is funded pursuant to Section 5.14), Seller and Buyer shall, within three (3) days after the determination of the amount thereof, deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release the appropriate portion of the Escrow Amount to an account designated by Buyer. All amounts paid by any party in respect of indemnification under this Article VI shall constitute adjustments to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes and shall be treated as such by Buyer and the applicable Seller on their Tax Returns to the extent permitted by Law.

6.6 Exclusive Remedy.

(a) The parties hereto hereby agree that, from and after the date hereof, the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 5.4(e) and this Article VI are the exclusive provisions in this Agreement with respect to the liability of the parties hereto for the breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement and the sole remedy of the Indemnitees for any claims for breach of representation or warranty contained in this Agreement; provided that nothing herein shall preclude any party from seeking any other remedy for common law fraud or intentional misrepresentation by any other party hereto (including any common law fraud or intentional misrepresentation committed by any Affiliate or Representative of Buyer or any Seller in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements).

(b) Any Damages subject to indemnification hereunder shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such Damages.

6.7 Right of Set-off. To the extent that any Indemnifying Party has an indemnification obligation as determined pursuant to this Article VI, (i) which is final and non-appealable or (ii) acknowledged in writing by such Indemnifying Party, any of the Indemnitees may set off the amount of such indemnification obligation against any amounts then due and unpaid to any of the Indemnifying Parties by any of the Indemnitees within the time period allowed for payment to such Indemnifying Party. Neither the exercise of nor the failure to exercise such right of set-off will constitute an election of remedies or limit any Indemnitee in any manner in the enforcement of any other remedies that may be available to it.

7.3 Rules of Construction; Interpretation. The parties agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any Law holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in any agreement or other document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document. Where specific language is used to clarify by example a general statement contained herein (such as by using the word “including”), such specific language shall not be deemed to modify, limit or restrict in any manner the construction of the general statement to which it relates. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms. Whenever required by the context, any pronoun used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns, pronouns and verbs shall include the plural and vice versa. The words “include” and “including,” and other words of similar import when used herein shall not be deemed to be terms of limitation but rather shall be deemed to be followed in each case by the words “without limitation.” The word “if” and other words of similar import when used herein shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the phrase “and only if.” The words “herein,” “hereto,” and “hereby” and other words of similar import in this Agreement shall be deemed in each case to refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular Article, Section or other subdivision of this Agreement. References to Articles or Sections herein refer to Articles or Sections of this Agreement unless otherwise specified, and references to Schedules herein refer to the Disclosure Schedules as defined herein. Any reference herein to “dollars” or “$” shall mean United States dollars. The words “as of the date of this Agreement” and words of similar import shall be deemed in each case to refer to the date this Agreement was first signed. The term “or” shall be deemed to mean “and/or.” Any reference to any particular Law will be interpreted to include any revision of or successor to that section regardless of how it is numbered or classified and any reference herein to a Governmental Authority shall be deemed to include reference to any successor thereto.

7.4 Titles. The titles, captions or headings of the Articles and Sections herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be a part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

7.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Exhibits hereto, the Disclosure Schedules and the other agreements, documents and written understandings referred to herein or otherwise entered into or delivered by the parties hereto on the date of this Agreement (including the Ancillary Agreements), constitute the entire agreement and understanding and supersede all other prior covenants, agreements, undertakings, obligations, promises, arrangements, communications, representations and warranties, whether oral or written, by any party hereto or by any director, officer, employee, agent, Affiliate or Representative of any party hereto.

7.6 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned by the Sellers or Buyer without the prior written consent of Buyer, in the case of the Sellers, or the Sellers, in the case of Buyer. Buyer may, without the consent of the Sellers, assign all or any portion of its rights and obligations hereunder to (a) an Affiliate of Buyer or (b) a successor in interest (or its equivalent) to all or substantially all of its capital stock or assets, whether by merger, acquisition, consolidation or otherwise. No such assignment shall release the assignor from any of its obligations hereunder.

7.7 Amendment or Modification. This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto at any time by execution of an instrument in writing signed by Buyer and Seller (on behalf of the Sellers).

7.8 Waiver. Except where a specific period for action or inaction is provided herein, neither the failure nor any delay on the part of any party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any waiver on the part of any party of any such right, power or privilege, nor any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such right, power or privilege. The failure of a party to exercise any right conferred herein within the time required shall cause such right to terminate with respect to the transaction or circumstances giving rise to such right, but not to any such right arising as a result of any other transactions or circumstances.

7.9 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced as a result of any rule of law or public policy, all other terms and other provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are fulfilled to the greatest extent possible.

7.10 Burden and Benefit. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement and all of its conditions and provisions are for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement or any provision hereof; provided, however, that any Indemnitees shall be considered third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement, with full rights of enforcement as though such Person was a signatory to this Agreement.

7.11 Governing Law. This Agreement (and any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic Laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware or, if the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or Federal court located in New Castle County in the State of Delaware, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any Action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment relating thereto, and each of the parties irrevocably and unconditionally (a) agrees not to commence any such Action or proceeding except in such courts, (b) agrees that any claim in respect of any such Action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such Delaware State court or, to the extent permitted by Law, in such Federal court, (c) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such Action or proceeding in any such Delaware State or Federal court, and (d) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such Action or proceeding in any such Delaware State or Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such Action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each party agrees that (x) this Agreement involves at least $100,000.00 and (y) this Agreement has been entered into by the parties in express reliance upon 6 Del. C. § 2708. Each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 7.2. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees, to the extent such party is not otherwise subject to service of process in the State of Delaware, to appoint and maintain an agent in the State of Delaware as such party’s agent for acceptance of legal process.

7.13 Waiver of Trial by Jury. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE AGREEMENTS DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE EITHER OF SUCH WAIVERS, (B) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVERS, (C) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVERS VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 7.13.

7.14 Specific Performance. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the other parties would be damaged irreparably, and in a manner for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy, in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with its specific terms or otherwise are breached. Accordingly, each of the parties hereto agrees that the other parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof in any action instituted in any court of the United States or any state thereof having jurisdiction over the parties and the matter, in addition

to any other remedy to which they may be entitled, at law or in equity and that each party hereto agrees to waive any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond or other security in connection with such remedy. In the event an Action should be brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, each party agrees that it shall not allege, and each party hereby waives the defense, that there is an adequate remedy at law.

7.15 Cumulative Remedies. All rights and remedies of either party hereto are cumulative of each other and of every other right or remedy such party may otherwise have at law or in equity, and the exercise of one or more rights or remedies shall not prejudice or impair the concurrent or subsequent exercise of other rights or remedies.

(b) Buyer acknowledges and agrees that other than the representations and warranties expressly set forth in Article III of this Agreement, none of the Sellers, any of the Sellers’ Affiliates or any other Person has made or makes any other representation or warranty, written or oral, express or implied, at law or in equity, with respect to the Business, the Acquired Assets or the Assumed Liabilities, including any representation or warranty as to (A) merchantability or fitness for a particular use or purpose, (B) the operation or probable success or profitability of the Business following the Closing, or (C) the accuracy or completeness of any information regarding the Business, the Acquired Assets or the Assumed Liabilities made available to Buyer and its Representatives in connection with this Agreement or their investigation of the Business.
