6.
    
    Specific Terms of Awards.
 (a)
    
    General. The term of each Award shall be for such period as may be
determined by the Committee. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award
Agreement, payments to be made by the Company or a Parent or Subsidiary of the Company
upon the grant, vesting, maturation, or exercise of an Award may be made in such forms
as the Committee shall determine at the date of grant or thereafter, including, without
limitation, cash, Stock, or other property, and may be made in a single payment or
transfer, in installments, or on a deferred basis. The Committee may make rules
relating to installment or deferred payments with respect to Awards, including the rate
of interest to be credited with respect to such payments. In addition to the foregoing,
the Committee may impose on any Award or the exercise thereof, at the date of grant or
thereafter, such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions
of the Plan, as the Committee shall determine.(b)
    
    Long Range Incentive Program. Under the Long Range Incentive Program,
the Committee is authorized to grant the Awards described in this Section 6(b), under
such terms and conditions as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes
of the Plan. Such Awards may be granted with value and payment contingent upon
Performance Goals. Except as otherwise set forth herein or as may be determined by the
Committee, each Award granted under the Long Range Incentive Program shall be evidenced
by an Award Agreement containing such terms and conditions applicable to such Award as
the Committee shall determine at the date of grant or thereafter.
 (i)
    
    Options. The Committee is authorized to grant Options
to Grantees on the following terms and conditions:
 (a)
    
    Type of Award. The Award Agreement
evidencing the grant of an Option under the Plan shall designate the
Option as an ISO or an NQSO.(b)
    
    Exercise Price. The exercise price per
share of Stock purchasable under an Option shall be determined by the
Committee, but, subject to Section 6(b)(v), in no event shall the per
share exercise price of any Option be less than the Fair Market Value
of a share of Stock on the date of grant of such Option. The exercise
price for Stock subject to an Option may be paid in cash or by an
exchange of Stock previously owned by the Grantee for at least six
months (if acquired from the Company), through a broker cashless
exercise procedure approved by the Committee (to the extent permitted
by law), or a combination of the above, in any case in an amount having
a combined value equal to such exercise price. An Award Agreement may
provide that a Grantee may pay all or a portion of the aggregate
exercise price by having shares of Stock with a Fair Market Value on
the date of exercise equal to the aggregate exercise price withheld by
the Company.(c)
    
    Term and Exercisability of Options. The
date on which the Committee adopts a resolution expressly granting an
Option shall be considered the day on which such Option is granted.
Options shall be exercisable over the exercise period (which shall not
exceed ten years from the date of grant), at such times and upon such
conditions as the Committee may determine, as reflected in the Award
Agreement; provided, that the Committee shall have the authority to
accelerate the exercisability of any outstanding Option at such time
and under such circumstances as it, in its sole discretion, deems
appropriate. An Option may be exercised to the extent of any or all
full shares of Stock as to which the Option has become exercisable, by
giving written notice of such exercise to the
 - 6 -

Committee or its designated agent.(d)
    
    Termination of Employment. An Option
may not be exercised unless the Grantee is then a director of, in the
employ of, or providing services to, the Company or a Parent or
Subsidiary of the Company, and unless the Grantee has remained
continuously so employed, or continuously maintained such relationship,
since the date of grant of the Option; provided, that the Award
Agreement may contain provisions extending the exercisability of
Options, in the event of specified terminations of employment or
service, to a date not later than the expiration date of such Option.(e)
    
    Other Provisions. Options may be
subject to such other conditions including, but not limited to,
restrictions on transferability of the shares acquired upon exercise of
such Options, as the Committee may prescribe in its discretion or as
may be required by applicable law.
 (ii)
    
    SARs. The Committee is authorized to grant SARs to
Grantees on the following terms and conditions:
 (a)
    
    In General. Unless the Committee
determines otherwise, a SAR (1) granted in tandem with an NQSO may be
granted at the time of grant of the related NQSO or at any time
thereafter or (2) granted in tandem with an ISO may only be granted at
the time of grant of the related ISO. A SAR granted in tandem with an
Option shall be exercisable only to the extent the underlying Option is
exercisable. Payment of a SAR may made in cash, Stock, or property as
specified in the Award or determined by the Committee.(b)
    
    Right Conferred. A SAR shall confer on
the Grantee a right to receive an amount with respect to each share
subject thereto, upon exercise thereof, equal to the excess of (1) the
Fair Market Value of one share of Stock on the date of exercise over
(2) the grant price of the SAR (which in the case of an SAR granted in
tandem with an Option shall be equal to the exercise price of the
underlying Option, and which in the case of any other SAR shall be such
price as the Committee may determine).(c)
    
    Term and Exercisability of SARs. The
date on which the Committee adopts a resolution expressly granting a
SAR shall be considered the day on which such SAR is granted. SARs
shall be exercisable over the exercise period (which shall not exceed
the lesser of ten years from the date of grant or, in the case of a
tandem SAR, the expiration of its related Award), at such times and
upon such conditions as the Committee may determine, as reflected in
the Award Agreement; provided, that the Committee shall have the
authority to accelerate the exercisability of any outstanding SAR at
such time and under such circumstances as it, in its sole discretion,
deems appropriate. A SAR may be exercised to the extent of any or all
full shares of Stock as to which the SAR (or, in the case of a tandem
SAR, its related Award) has become exercisable, by giving written
notice of such exercise to the Committee or its designated agent.(d)
    
    Termination of Employment. A SAR may
not be exercised unless the Grantee is then a director of, in the
employ of, or providing services to, the Company or a Parent or
Subsidiary of the Company, and unless the Grantee has remained
continuously so employed, or continuously maintained such relationship,
since the date of grant of the SAR; provided, that the Award Agreement
may contain provisions extending the exercisability of the SAR, in the
event of specified terminations of employment or service, to a date not
later than the expiration date of such SAR (or, in the case of a tandem
SAR, its related Award).

(e)
    
    Other Provisions. SARs may be subject
to such other conditions including, but not limited to, restrictions on
transferability of the shares acquired upon exercise of such SARs, as

applicable law.
 (iii)
    
    Restricted Stock. The Committee is authorized to grant
Restricted Stock to Grantees on the following terms and conditions:
 (a)
    
    Issuance and Restrictions. Restricted
Stock shall be subject to such restrictions on transferability and
other restrictions, if any, as the Committee may impose at the date of
grant or thereafter, which restrictions may lapse separately or in
combination at such times, under such circumstances, in such
installments, or otherwise, as the Committee may determine. The
Committee may place restrictions on Restricted Stock that shall lapse,
in whole or in part, only upon the attainment of Performance Goals.
Except to the extent restricted under the Award Agreement relating to
the Restricted Stock, a Grantee granted Restricted Stock shall have all
of the rights of a stockholder including, without limitation, the right
to vote Restricted Stock and the right to receive dividends thereon.(b)
    
    Forfeiture. Upon termination of
employment with or service to the Company, or upon termination of the
director or independent contractor relationship, as the case may be,
during the applicable restriction period, Restricted Stock and any
accrued but unpaid dividends that are then subject to restrictions
shall be forfeited; provided, that the Committee may provide, by rule
or regulation or in any Award Agreement, or may determine in any
individual case, that restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to
Restricted Stock will be waived in whole or in part in the event of
terminations resulting from specified causes, and the Committee may in
other cases waive in whole or in part the forfeiture of Restricted
Stock.(c)
    
    Certificates for Stock. Restricted
Stock granted under the Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the
Committee shall determine. If certificates representing Restricted
Stock are registered in the name of the Grantee, such certificates
shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions,
and restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock, and the Company
shall retain physical possession of the certificate.(d)
    
    Dividends. Stock distributed in
connection with a stock split or stock dividend, and cash or other
property distributed as a dividend, shall be subject to restrictions
and a risk of forfeiture to the same extent as the Restricted Stock
with respect to which such Stock or other property has been
distributed, and shall be settled as the same time as the Restricted
Stock to which it relates.
 (iv)
    
    Restricted Stock Units. The Committee is authorized to
grant Restricted Stock Units to Grantees, subject to the following terms and
conditions:
 (a)
    
    Award and Restrictions. Delivery of
Stock or cash, as determined by the Committee, will occur upon
expiration of the deferral period specified for Restricted Stock Units
by the Committee. The Committee may place restrictions on Restricted
Stock Units that shall lapse, in whole or in part, only upon the
attainment of Performance Goals. The Committee may award dividend
equivalents relating to Restricted Stock Units on terms and conditions
as it determines.(b)
    
    Forfeiture. Upon termination of
employment with or service to the Company, or upon termination of the
director or independent contractor relationship, as the
 - 8 -

##### 



case may be, during the applicable deferral period or portion thereof
to which forfeiture conditions apply, or upon failure to satisfy any
other conditions precedent to the delivery of Stock or cash to which
such Restricted Stock Units relate, all Restricted Stock Units and
any accrued but unpaid dividend equivalents that are then subject to
deferral or restriction shall be forfeited; provided, that the
Committee may provide, by rule or regulation or in any Award
Agreement, or may determine in any individual case, that restrictions
or forfeiture conditions relating to Restricted Stock Units will be
waived in whole or in part in the event of termination resulting from
specified causes, and the Committee may in other cases waive in whole
or in part the forfeiture of Restricted Stock Units.
 (v)
    
    Other Stock- or Cash-Based Awards. The Committee is
authorized to grant Awards to Grantees in the form of Other Stock-Based Awards
or Other Cash-Based Awards, as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with
the purposes of the Plan. Awards granted pursuant to this paragraph may be
granted with value and payment contingent upon Performance Goals, so long as
such goals relate to periods of performance in excess of one calendar year. The
Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of such Awards at the date
of grant or thereafter. Performance periods under this Section 6(b)(v) may
overlap. The maximum value of the aggregate payment that any Grantee may
receive pursuant to this Section 6(b)(v) in respect of any Plan Year is
$10,000,000. Payments earned hereunder may be decreased or, with respect to any
Grantee who is not a Covered Employee, increased in the sole discretion of the
Committee based on such factors as it deems appropriate. No such payment shall
be made to a Covered Employee prior to the certification by the Committee that
the Performance Goals have been attained. The Committee may establish such
other rules applicable to the Other Stock- or Cash-Based Awards to the extent
not inconsistent with Section 162(m) of the Code.
 (c)
    
    Annual Incentive Program. The Committee is authorized to grant Awards
to Grantees pursuant to the Annual Incentive Program, under such terms and conditions
as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan. Grantees
will be selected by the Committee with respect to participation for a Plan Year. The
maximum value of the aggregate payment that any Grantee may receive under the Annual
Incentive Program in respect of any Plan Year is $10,000,000. Payments earned hereunder
may be decreased or, with respect to any Grantee who is not a Covered Employee,
increased in the sole discretion of the Committee based on such factors as it deems
appropriate. No such payment shall be made to a Covered Employee prior to the
certification by the Committee that the Performance Goals relating to Awards hereunder
have been attained. The Committee may establish such other rules applicable to the
Annual Incentive Program to the extent not inconsistent with Section 162(m) of the
Code.
 7.
    
    Change in Control Provisions.

    accelerate the vesting, payment or right to exercise of any Award effective
immediately upon the occurrence of a Change in Control; and(b)
    
    cause the restrictions, deferral limitations, payment conditions, and

such Awards fully vested, and deem any performance conditions imposed with respect to
Awards to be fully achieved.

##### 



exercisable during the lifetime of a Grantee only by such Grantee or his guardian or
legal representative.(b)
    
    No Right to Continued Employment, etc. Nothing in the Plan or in any
Award, any Award Agreement or other agreement entered into pursuant hereto shall confer
upon any Grantee the right to continue in the employ of, or to continue as a director
of, or to continue to provide services to, the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of
the Company or to be entitled to any remuneration or benefits not set forth in the Plan
or such Award Agreement or other agreement or to interfere with or limit in any way the
right of the Company or any such Parent or Subsidiary to terminate such Grantees
employment, or director or independent contractor relationship.(c)
    
    Taxes. The Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company is
authorized to withhold from any Award granted, any payment relating to an Award under
the Plan, including from a distribution of Stock, or any other payment to a Grantee,
amounts of withholding and other taxes due in connection with any transaction involving
an Award, and to take such other action as the Committee may deem advisable to enable
the Company and Grantees to satisfy obligations for the payment of withholding taxes
and other tax obligations relating to any Award. This authority shall include authority
to withhold or receive Stock or other property and to make cash payments in respect
thereof in satisfaction of a Grantees tax obligations. The Committee may provide in
the Award Agreement that in the event that a Grantee is required to pay any amount to
be withheld in connection with the issuance of shares of Stock in settlement or
exercise of an Award, the Grantee may satisfy such obligation (in whole or in part) by
electing to have a portion of the shares of Stock to be received upon settlement or
exercise of such Award equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld.(d)
    
    Stockholder Approval; Amendment and Termination.
 (i)
    
    The Plan shall be effective upon the IPO, provided that the
Plan has been previously approved by Travelport Limited, the Companys sole
stockholder.(ii)
    
    The Board may at any time and from time to time alter, amend,
suspend, or terminate the Plan in whole or in part; provided, however, that
unless otherwise determined by the Board, an amendment that requires
stockholder approval in order for the Plan to continue to comply with Section
162(m) or any other law, regulation or stock exchange requirement shall not be
effective unless approved by the requisite vote of stockholders.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment to or termination of the Plan shall
affect adversely any of the rights of any Grantee, without such Grantees
consent, under any Award theretofore granted under the Plan.
 (e)
    
    Expiration of Plan. Unless earlier terminated by the Board pursuant to
the provisions of the Plan, the Plan shall expire on the tenth anniversary of the
Effective Date. No Awards shall be granted under the Plan after such expiration date.
The expiration of the Plan shall not affect adversely any of the rights of any Grantee,
without such Grantees consent, under any Award theretofore granted.(f)
    
    Deferrals. The Committee shall have the authority to establish such
procedures and programs that it deems appropriate to provide Grantees with the ability
to defer receipt of cash, Stock or other property payable with respect to Awards
granted under the Plan.(g)
    
    No Rights to Awards; No Stockholder Rights. No Grantee shall have any
claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and there is no obligation for uniformity
of treatment of Grantees. Except as provided specifically herein, a Grantee or a
transferee of an Award shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares
covered by the Award until the date of the issuance of a stock certificate to him for
such shares.

unfunded plan for incentive and deferred compensation. With respect to any payments
not yet made to a Grantee pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan or any
Award shall give any such Grantee any rights that are greater than those of a general
creditor of the Company.(i)
    
    No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Stock shall be issued or
delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award. The Committee shall determine whether
cash, other Awards, or other property shall be issued or paid in lieu of such
fractional shares or whether such fractional shares or any rights thereto shall be
forfeited or otherwise eliminated.(j)
    
    Regulations and Other Approvals.
 (i)
    
    The obligation of the Company to sell or deliver Stock with

securities laws, and the obtaining of all such approvals by governmental
agencies as may be deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee.(ii)
    
    Each Award is subject to the requirement that, if at any time
the Committee determines, in its absolute discretion, that the listing,
registration or qualification of Stock issuable pursuant to the Plan is
required by any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the
consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body is necessary or
desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the grant of an Award or
the issuance of Stock, no such Award shall be granted or payment made or Stock
issued, in whole or in part, unless listing, registration, qualification,
consent or approval has been effected or obtained free of any conditions not
acceptable to the Committee.(iii)
    
    In the event that the disposition of Stock acquired pursuant
to the Plan is not covered by a then-current registration statement under the
Securities Act and is not otherwise exempt from such registration, such Stock
shall be restricted against transfer to the extent required by the Securities
Act or regulations thereunder, and the Committee may require a Grantee
receiving Stock pursuant to the Plan, as a condition precedent to receipt of
such Stock, to represent to the Company in writing that the Stock acquired by
such Grantee is acquired for investment only and not with a view to
distribution.(iv)
    
    The Committee may require a Grantee receiving Stock pursuant to
the Plan, as a condition precedent to receipt of such Stock, to enter into a
stockholder agreement or lock-up agreement in such form as the Committee
shall determine is necessary or desirable to further the Companys interests.

    Governing Law. The Plan and all determinations made and actions taken
pursuant hereto shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without giving
effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof.(l)
    
    Tax Laws. Awards under the Plan are intended to comply with Code
Section 409A and all Awards shall be interpreted in accordance with Code Section 409A
and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued
thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that
may be issued after the effective date of the Plan. Notwithstanding any provision of
the Plan or any Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Committee determines
that any Award may or does not comply with Code Section 409A, the Company may adopt
such amendments to the Plan and the affected Award (without Participant consent) or
adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with
retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Committee determines are
necessary or appropriate to (i) exempt the Plan and any Award from the application of
Code Section 409A and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided
with respect to Award, or (ii) comply with the requirements of Code Section 409A.
