8.4.          You agree to co-operate fully in assisting the Company to maintain
such records of your working hours as may be required from time to time.

 

9.             Holidays and holiday pay

 

9.1.          The holiday year runs from 1 January to 31 December.

 

9.2.          You are entitled, in addition to the usual public holidays, to 25
working days’ paid holiday in each holiday year of employment, increasing to 27
days after five continuous years’ service and 29 days after ten continuous
years’ service.  Holidays shall be paid at your basic rate of pay.

 

9.3.          If the 5th and 10th anniversaries of your commencement date fall
during the first six months of a holiday year then your two day increase of
holiday entitlement will be available to you following the anniversary date.  If
these anniversaries fall during the second six months of a holiday year then
your holiday entitlement following the anniversary date will increase by only
one day for that year.

 

9.4.          Where you are employed for a part of a holiday year only — either
on commencement or termination of your employment  — you will be entitled to
paid holiday pro rata to the number of complete calendar months worked by you in
the relevant holiday year.

 

9.5.          The dates of any period of holiday must be approved by your
manager.  Although the Company will agree to your proposed holiday dates
wherever possible, it reserves the right to withhold approval where necessary
for administrative or business reasons.  Consent will not normally be given to
your taking more than ten consecutive working days holiday.

 

9.6.          In exceptional circumstances and with the prior written consent of
your Manager, up to five days unused holiday entitlement may be carried

 

3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

forward to the next year.  Any such days must be taken by 31 March in the next
holiday year.

 

9.7.          On the termination of your employment, where you have taken more
or less than your accrued holiday entitlement as calculated above, an adjustment
based on your normal rate of pay will be made to your final pay by way of a
deduction or an additional payment as appropriate.

 

10.          Sickness and sick pay

 

10.1.        If you are absent from work due to sickness or injury or for any
other reason you must let the Company know by 10.00 am on your first day of
absence that you will be unable to attend.  If it is not possible for you or
someone on your behalf to contact the Company by this time then you must ensure
that contact is made as soon as is reasonably practical thereafter.  If you are
absent over a period of time, you must keep the Company advised regularly of
your progress and of your likely return date.  Your manager will be your first
point of contact for these purposes.

 

10.2.        If you are absent due to sickness or injury for half a day or more,
immediately you return to work you must complete a sickness self-certification
form and submit it to your manager for his/her signature and authorisation. 
Template self-certification forms are available on the Company’s Intranet.

 

10.3.        If you are absent for more than seven consecutive days (including
Saturdays and Sundays) due to sickness or injury you must obtain a doctor’s
certificate in respect of your absence to date and any anticipated future
absence and give it or send it immediately to your manager.  Thereafter any
further absence must continue to be supported by doctor’s certificates.  If you
wish to return to work following a period of sickness absence and your doctor’s
certificate is for an open ended period or for a period which has not expired
then the Company will only allow you to return to work if you submit a further
doctor’s certificate confirming that you are once more fit for work.

 

10.4.        Failure to comply with the above procedures may result in the loss
of Company sick pay (referred to below) and may also disqualify you from
receiving Statutory Sick Pay (“SSP”).

 

10.5.        The Company’s sick pay year runs from 1 April to 31 March. 
Provided you have complied with the requirements detailed above, and subject to
your length of continuous service, the Company will continue to pay you at your
normal rate of pay during any unavoidable absence through sickness or injury in
any given sick pay year (whether the absence is continuous or intermittent) for
a period of 26 weeks.

 

4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Any payment made to you under this provision will include any entitlement which
you may have to receive SSP from the Company.  Company sick pay will be reduced
by the amount of any Social Security benefits recoverable by you (whether or not
recovered) in respect of your illness or injury.  Any payments made in addition
to your entitlement to

 

Company sick pay as detailed above will be made entirely at the Company’s
discretion.

 

10.6.        Where the relevant anniversary of your commencement of employment
falls part way through a sick pay year your entitlement to Company sick pay for
the sick pay year in question will increase immediately upon that anniversary
date, but any sick pay already paid to you during that sick pay year will be
offset against your new entitlement.

 

10.7.        If you are absent during one sick pay year (“year 1”) and your
absence continues into the next sick pay year (“year 2”) or if your absence in
year 2 commences within four weeks of your absence in year 1 then the absence
which falls in year 2 will be regarded as if it had fallen within year 1 and
your entitlement to Company sick pay will be calculated by reference to your
unexhausted sick pay entitlement (if any) for year 1.  In this case you will
only qualify to claim Company sick pay in respect of your entitlement for year 2
once you have returned to work for a continuous period of at least four working
weeks before incurring any further sickness absence.  Until you have qualified
to receive Company sick pay in year 2 as described above any further absence
from work due to sickness or injury will also be regarded as having occurred in
year one.

 

10.8.        You may be eligible to receive SSP payments before you become
entitled to Company sick pay or once your entitlement to Company sick pay in any
given sick pay year has been exhausted in which case you will receive payment at
the SSP rate during your absence until your SSP entitlement has been exhausted.
Your “qualifying days” for SSP purposes are Monday to Friday (inclusive).

 

10.9.        If you are absent from work due to an accident which occurred or a
condition which was sustained as a result of the act or omission of a third
party any sick pay paid to you by the Company in respect of your absence will be
paid as a loan which you must repay to the Company if you are successful in
recovering damages in respect of your absence from work.

 

10.10.      The Company will be entitled, at its expense, to require you to be
examined by an independent medical practitioner of the Company’s

 

5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

choice at any time (whether or not you are absent by reason of sickness or
injury) and you agree that the doctor carrying out the examination may disclose
to and discuss with the Company the results of the examination.

 

10.11.      For the avoidance of doubt the Company will be entitled to terminate
your employment in accordance with the terms of this Contract (whether with or
without notice as appropriate in the circumstances) during any period of
sickness absence.

 

11.          Pension and other benefits

 

11.1.        The Company operates a defined contribution pension plan.  If you
choose to join the pension plan then your basic salary will be reduced by the
amount that you elect to be invested into the pension plan, in accordance with
the membership category you select.  Full details of the pension plan and other
benefits are shown in the Benefits’ Booklet.

 

11.2.        During your employment you will be entitled to participate at the
Company’s expense in the Company’s schemes relating to the following:

 

(a)           private medical expenses insurance;

 

(b)           permanent health insurance;

 

(c)           life assurance;

 

(d)           Well Being programme;

 

subject to the rules of these schemes which may be revised from time to time. 
Your eligibility to participate in these schemes and to receive benefits under
them shall cease upon termination of your employment for whatever reason.

 

11.3.        Participation in the permanent health insurance (PHI) scheme is
strictly subject to the rules of the scheme which may change from time to time. 
You will be entitled to receive benefits under the PHI scheme only in the
circumstances and for so long as the Company continues to receive benefits from
the insurer who operates the scheme.  Your entitlement to receive benefits will
therefore cease if your employment is terminated or if you are able to work to
your normal capacity again, if you die, or if you reach normal retirement age or
if the insurer considers that you no longer satisfy the scheme’s other
eligibility requirements.

 

11.4.        The Company reserves the right to vary, replace or discontinue all
or any of these schemes from time to time.

 

6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

12.          Confidentiality

 

12.1.        You shall not either during the continuance of your employment or
at any time thereafter:

(b)           use or attempt to use any of the Confidential Business Information
in any manner which may injure or cause loss either directly or indirectly to

otherwise required by law.

 

12.3.        Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude you from making a
protected disclosure for the purposes of the Public Interest Disclosure Act
1998.

provisions of the Code, the Company will not unreasonably withhold such consent

16.8.        The May 1, 2009 Management Equity Awards Agreement between

hereby amended as follows:

 

11

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

16.8.1.        Section 3.1(e) is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the
following:

RESTRICTED EQUITY UNITS THAT REMAIN UNVESTED AFTER SUCH CONVERSION SHALL BE
FORFEITED;

(II)           EXECUTIVE’S EMPLOYMENT WITH THE COMPANY IS TERMINATED BY THE

of written notice of the event which constitutes Constructive Termination;
provided further, that a “Constructive Termination” shall cease to exist for an
event on the 60th day following the later of its occurrence thereof or
Executive’s knowledge thereof, unless Executive has given the Company written
notice thereof prior to such date.

 

16.8.3.        The phrase “Subject to Section 3.1,” is added at the beginning of

extracts or copies of them regardless of the medium on which such extracts or
copies are stored or held; and

officers and employees.

 

16.11.      You acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding that the personal
contact is between you and representatives of Clients, Suppliers, Agents and

is handled by you, it is capable of being damaged inter alia upon the cessation
for any reason of the contract of employment between the Company and you.  For
the purposes of permitting the Company to ensure so far as possible that any
such damage is minimised, and so as to preserve the Company’s relationship with
its Business Partners after the termination of the contract of employment, and
to ensure the continued proper servicing of the requirements of such Business
Partners, you hereby undertake generally

 

14

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

to co-operate with the Company and comply with the instructions of the Board in
securing the handover of the affairs of any such Client, Agent, Supplier or
Distributor to any other employee(s) designated by the Company in a manner which
will or is designed to ensure that the Company’s relationship with such Client
is preserved and that the Client continues to receive a proper service from the
Company; and acknowledges that any breach of the above undertakings may cause
loss or damage to the Company for which it may reasonably seek compensation or
injunctive relief from you.

 

16.12.      With a view to ensuring that your departure can be arranged with the
minimum of inconvenience or disruption to the business of the Company and its
relationship with its Clients and its other employees, you undertake to mutually
agree with your manager the timing and manner of any communication about your
departure, and to refrain from informing any of your colleagues (excluding your
manager and the Board of Travelport Limited or its successor) about the proposed
cessation of your employment hereunder, other than within the agreed
communication plan.

 

16.13.      You acknowledge the right of the Company to monitor and control the
performance of its employees and ensure the proper servicing of the requirements
of its Clients, and acknowledge the fiduciary obligations attaching to your
position.
