RESTRICTED STOCK
SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT


 


RESTRICTED STOCK
SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT, dated as of 
June 30, 2003, between Travel
Transaction Processing Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Holding”), and the employee whose name appears
on the signature page hereof (the “Employee”),
pursuant to the Travel Transaction Processing Corporation Stock Incentive Plan,
as in effect and as amended from time to time (the “Plan”).  Capitalized terms that are not defined herein shall have the same
meanings given to such terms in the Plan.


 


W  I
T  N  E  S  S  E  T  H:


 


WHEREAS, the Board
of Directors of Holding (the “Board”)
has adopted the Plan to provide officers and key employees of Holding and its
Subsidiaries with opportunities to acquire equity interests in Holding;


 


WHEREAS, the
Employee desires to acquire from Holding pursuant to the Plan the aggregate
number of shares of Holding’s Class A Common Stock, par value $.01 per share
(the “Common
Stock”), set
forth on the signature page hereof (each a “Share” and, collectively, the “Shares”); and


 


WHEREAS, Holding
desires to grant the Shares to the Employee on the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth herein in consideration of the Employee’s entering into an
employment agreement with Holding, dated as June 30, 2003 (as amended from time
to time, the “Employment Agreement”)
and agreeing to perform future services for Holding under the Employment
Agreement.


 


NOW, THEREFORE, to
implement the foregoing and in consideration of the mutual agreements contained
herein, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:


 


1.             Grant
of Shares.


 


(a)           Grant
of Shares.  Subject to all of the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Employee hereby subscribes for, and
Holding shall grant to the Employee, the Shares at the Closing provided for in
Section 2(a) hereof, such Shares being issued pursuant to and in accordance
with the Plan.  The Plan is incorporated
herein by reference and made a part of this Agreement, and the Employee hereby
acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and agrees to be bound by all of the
terms and conditions herein and therein. 
To the extent any provision herein is inconsistent with the Plan, the
terms of the Plan shall apply. 
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Holding
shall have no obligation to grant any Common Stock to (i) any
person


 

















 


who is not an employee of Holding or its Subsidiary at the time that
such Common Stock is to be granted or (ii) any person who is a
resident of a jurisdiction in which the grant of Common Stock to such person
would constitute a violation of the securities, “blue sky” or other laws of
such jurisdiction.


 


(b)           Withholding
Payment.  In connection with the
grant of Shares described in Section 1(a) above, Holding shall pay the Employee
$637,500 to cover federal, state, and local withholding tax requirements
relating to such grant.  The Employee
hereby authorizes and directs Holding to withhold the full amount of such
payment to satisfy such withholding requirements.


 


2.             Closing.


 


(a)           Time
and Place.  Except as otherwise
agreed by Holding and the Employee, the closing (the “Closing”) of the transaction contemplated
by this Agreement shall be held at the offices of Latham & Watkins LLP, 885
Third Avenue, New York, New York  at
10:00 a.m. (New York  time)
on June 30, 2003 (the “Closing Date”).


 


(b)           Delivery
by Holding.  At the Closing, Holding
will deliver a stock certificate registered in the Employee’s name and
representing the Shares, which certificate shall bear the legends set forth in
Section 5(b), to the Secretary of Holding, to be held in custody until the
Restricted Period shall have lapsed.


 


(c)           Delivery
by the Employee.  At the Closing,
the Employee will deliver to Holding a duly executed and undated instrument of
transfer or assignment in  blank.


 


3.             Restricted
Period.


 


(a)           Generally.  All Shares received by the Employee under
this Agreement are subject to the restrictions contained herein and as provided
under the Plan, and, so long as the Shares are subject to such restrictions,
are referred to herein and therein as “Restricted
Stock.”  The Restricted
Stock shall be subject to forfeiture by the Employee prior to the lapse of the
Restricted Period in accordance with the terms herein and in the Plan.  Except as provided in Section 11.1 of the
Plan, none of the Restricted Stock may be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged,
hypothecated or otherwise encumbered until the Restricted Period has ceased,
and then only in accordance with Section 2.1 of the Stockholders Agreement and
Section 5 of the Registration Rights Agreement.


 


(b)           Restricted
Period.  Except as otherwise
provided in Sections 3 and 8 hereof, or in the Plan, the Restricted Period
shall lapse as to 20% of the Shares on each of the first five anniversaries of
the Closing (each such anniversary, the “Vesting
Date” as to the applicable 20% tranche of the Shares), which
lapses shall be cumulative, subject


 


2

















 


to the Employee’s continuous employment with Holding or its Subsidiary from
the Closing to such anniversary.


 


(c)           Accelerated
Vesting.  If the Employee’s
employment with Holding or its Subsidiary is terminated by Holding without
Cause during the Restricted Period or if the Employee terminates his employment
for Good Reason (as such term is defined in the Employment Agreement) during
the Restricted Period, the 20% tranche of the Shares for which the Restricted
Period was scheduled to lapse on the next Vesting Date shall no longer be
subject to the Restricted Period and such Shares shall cease being Restricted
Stock.  For the avoidance of doubt, no
accelerated vesting shall occur upon a termination due to retirement, death or
Disability.


 


(d)           Committee
Discretion.  Notwithstanding any
other provisions of this Agreement, the Committee shall be authorized in its
discretion, based upon its review and evaluation of the performance of the
Employee and of Holding, to accelerate the vesting of any Restricted Stock
under this Agreement, at such times (including, without limitation, following
the Employee’s termination of employment) and upon such terms and conditions as
the Committee shall deem advisable.


 


4.             Repurchase
Option.


 


(a)           Voluntary
Resignation.  Upon the Employee’s
voluntary resignation from Holding and all Subsidiaries (other than a
resignation for Good Reason in accordance with the Employment Agreement),
Holding and then CVC and OTPP and their respective affiliates (in accordance
with the procedures described in Section 4(d)) may (i) repurchase all or
any portion of the Restricted Stock then held by such Employee for which the
Restricted Period has not lapsed as of the date of termination for a cash
payment equal to $0.31914894 per Share and (ii) repurchase all or any
portion of the Shares for which the Restricted Period has lapsed for a cash
payment equal to the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of the Shares (or the
portion thereof so purchased).  For
purposes of this Agreement, “Fair Market
Value” shall mean, if no Public Offering has occurred, the value
of a share of Common Stock as determined by the most recent annual valuation
performed by an independent valuation consultant or appraiser of recognized
national standing selected by the Board, and following a Public Offering, on
any date of determination, shall mean the average of the closing sales prices
for a share of Common Stock as reported on a national exchange for each of the
ten business days preceding the date of determination or the average of the
last transaction prices for a share of Common Stock as reported on a nationally
recognized system of price quotation for each of the ten business days
preceding the date of determination.  In
the event that there are no Common Stock transactions reported on such exchange
or system on such date, Fair Market Value shall mean the closing price on the
immediately preceding date on which Common Stock transactions were so reported.


 


3

















 


(b)           Termination
for Cause. Upon termination of the Employee’s employment by Holding or its
Subsidiary for Cause, Holding and then CVC and OTPP and their respective
affiliates (in accordance with the procedures described in Section 4(d)) may
repurchase all or any portion of the Shares then held by such Employee for
a  per Share cash payment equal to the
lesser of (x) Fair Market Value and (y) $0.31914894 per Share.


 


(c)           Termination
for Any Other Reason.  Upon any
termination of the Employee’s employment with Holding and all Subsidiaries
other than a termination provided for in Sections 4(a) or 4(b) above, Holding
and then CVC and OTPP and their respective affiliates (in accordance with the
procedures described in Section 4(d)) may (i) repurchase all or any
portion of the Restricted Stock then held by the Employee for which the
Restricted Period has not lapsed as of the date of termination for a cash
payment equal to $0.31914894 per Share of such Restricted Stock plus interest
accrued from the date of purchase at the 10-year United States treasury rate
and (ii) repurchase the Shares for which the Restricted Period has
lapsed for a cash payment equal to the Fair Market Value of the Shares (or the
portion thereof so purchased).


 


(d)           Procedures
for the Repurchase of Shares. 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary  contained herein, any repurchase of Shares pursuant to this
Section 4 shall not be effected prior to the expiration of a period of, and the
Fair Market Value shall be determined as of a date, at least six months and one
day from the date such Shares were granted to the Employee.  Holding shall have an exclusive right to
repurchase Shares until the First Repurchase Date.  If Holding fails to repurchase all of a terminated Participant’s
Shares prior to the First Repurchase Date, then Holding shall notify both CVC
and OTPP within three business days after the First Repurchase Date, and CVC
and OTPP shall have an additional 30 days from the First Repurchase Date to
purchase such Participant’s Shares in such proportions as each shall determine,
provided that if CVC and OTPP cannot agree on the proportion that each shall
purchase, then each shall be entitled to purchase that percentage of such
terminated Participant’s Shares that will result in CVC and OTPP owning the
same percentage of Common Stock relative to each other before and after such
purchase (such percentage calculated by treating all Shares as Common Stock) .


 


(e)           Limitation
on the Repurchase of Shares.  If the
Employee is terminated by Holding or its Subsidiary without Cause or if the
Employee terminates his employment for Good Reason (as such term is defined in
the Employment Agreement), the ability of Holding, CVC and OTPP and their
respective affiliates to repurchase the Shares for which the Restricted Period
has lapsed is subject to the Employee’s prior consent.  For the avoidance of doubt, the ability to
repurchase the Employee’s Shares upon a termination due to retirement, death or
Disability shall not be subject to the Employee’s prior consent.


 


4

















 


(f)            Use
of Proceeds.  If Holding elects to
repurchase any Shares pursuant to this Section 4, Holding may apply the
proceeds from such repurchase to any readily ascertainable, non-contingent
outstanding obligations of the Employee due Holding or guaranteed by Holding in
respect of the Shares which are not in dispute.


 


5.             Employee’s
Representations, Warranties and Covenants.


 


(a)           Investment

offer, transfer, sell, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any of the

sell, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any Shares or any interest
therein, or any rights relating thereto, without complying with the provisions
of this Agreement, Section 2.1 of the Stockholders Agreement and Section 5 of

contingently or successively) by whom any right under the Plan and this

Employee, shall be in a form reasonably prescribed by the Committee, and will
be effective only when filed by the Employee in writing with the Committee
during his lifetime.  If no beneficiary
is named, or if a named beneficiary does not survive the Employee, Section 11.2
of the Plan shall determine who may exercise the Employee’s rights under the
Plan.


 


(h)           No

any Subsidiary to terminate the Employee’s employment at any time, or confer
upon the Employee any right to continue in the employ of Holding or any
Subsidiary.

SPECIFICALLY AND MANDATORILY APPLIES.


 


(j)            Survival.  Section 5 (relating to Employee’s
representations, warranties and covenants) and Section 9 (relating to Holding’s
representations and warranties) shall survive any termination of this
Agreement.
