	 	8.4.	 	You agree to co-operate fully in assisting the Company to maintain such records

	 	9.	 	Holidays and holiday pay

	 	9.1.	 	The holiday year runs from 1 January to 31 December.
	 
	 	9.2.	 	In addition to the usual public holidays, your total entitlement to paid
holiday under both this contract and the service agreement by and between you and
Travelport International Ltd. dated 15 March 2010 shall be 25 working days’ 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

3

 

	 	 	 	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 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, , the Company will continue to pay you
at your normal rate of pay under this contract 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 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.

5

 

	 	11.	 	Pension and other benefits

	 	11.1.	 	The Company does not operate a pension plan. However, the Company will make
pension contributions based on the sum of (a) the basic annual salary for you under
this agreement and (b) the Annual Fee (as defined in the letter
of appointment dated 17 March 2010 between the Company and you) in equal monthly instalments in arrears into
the defined contribution pension plan operated by Travelport International Limited at
subject to the rules of the scheme and the tax reliefs and exemptions available from HM
Revenue & Customs. The value of such contributions is based upon the value of the
contributions made by you. If you contribute a minimum of 3% of (a) and (b), the
Company will contribute 6%. If you contribute a minimum of 10% of (a) and (b), the
Company will contribute 15%. If you choose to join this pension plan then the your
basic annual salary with the Company will be reduced by the amount that you elect to be
invested into the pension plan, in accordance with the membership category selected.

expense in the Travelport schemes relating to the following:

	 	(a)	 	private medical expenses insurance, including family cover for
nominated dependents;
	 
	 	(b)	 	permanent health insurance;
	 
	 	(c)	 	life assurance of four times your base salary under this
agreement and the Annual Fee (as defined by the letter of appointment
dated 17 March 2010 between you and the Company);
	 
	 	(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.

or otherwise required by law.

determined by the Company) or you resign in circumstances where you are entitled to
resign in response to a fundamental breach of contract by the Company (by way of
non-exhaustive example only, it is agreed that a fundamental breach of either this

constituting a fundamental breach of contract by the Company under this agreement,
which shall include any reduction to your overall base salary and bonus that is not

	 	16.7.2.	 	A lump sum payment equal to your then current annual target bonus payable to

bonus for the period in which you are terminated.

	 	16.8.		Upon termination of the Employment howsoever arising you will:

to do, execute and perform any acts, deeds, documents or things necessary to
effect such resignation or transfer;
	 
	 	16.8.2.	 	deliver (or, if you are dead, of unsound mind or bankrupt, then your

extracts or copies are stored or held; and
	 
	 	16.8.3.	 	not at any time after the termination wrongfully represent yourself as being
a director of or employed by or connected with the Company (or any other Group
Company) nor make or publish any untrue or misleading statement or comment
about the Company (or any other Group Company) or their respective officers and
employees.

11

 

	 	16.9.	 	You acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding that the personal contact is
between you and representatives of Clients, Suppliers, Agents and Distributors
(collectively referred hereafter as “Business Partners”), the relationship with them is
one which exists with the Company and is valuable to the Company and that, so far as
concerns those Business Partners whose business 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 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.
	 
	 	16.10.	 	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
plc or its successor) about the proposed cessation of your employment hereunder, other
than within the agreed communication plan.
	 
	 	16.11.	 	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

Travelport plc dated 17 March 2010 shall be 25 working days’ 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.

 - 3 - 

 

	 	9.6	 	In exceptional circumstances and with the prior written consent of your
Manager, up to five days unused holiday entitlement may be carried 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, the Company will continue to pay you at
your normal rate of pay under this contract 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.
	 
	 	 	 	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

 - 4 - 

 

	 	 	 	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 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. The Company will
make pension contributions based on your basic annual salary under this

 - 5 - 

 

	 	 	 	agreement in equal monthly instalments in arrears into the defined contribution
pension plan subject to the rules of the scheme and the tax reliefs and exemptions
available from HM Revenue & Customs. The value of such contributions is based upon
the value of the contributions made by you. If you contribute a minimum of 3% of
your basic annual salary, the Company will contribute 6%. If you contribute a
minimum of 10% of basic annual salary, the Company will contribute 15%. If you
choose to join this pension plan then the your basic salary with the Company will
be reduced by the amount that you elect to be invested into the pension plan, in
accordance with the membership category selected.

	 	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, including family cover
for nominated dependents;
	 
	 	(b)	 	permanent health insurance;
	 
	 	(c)	 	life assurance of four times your base salary under this
agreement;
	 
	 	(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	 	During your employment, you shall be entitled to participate in the equity
award programs established for the benefit of the Company’s employees, subject to the
rules of the applicable program as in effect from time to time. The amount of any
equity award grant made to you pursuant to such programs shall be in the sole
discretion of the Company.
	 
	 	11.5	 	During your employment, you shall be eligible for a car allowance of £1,275
gross per month.
	 
	 	11.6	 	During your employment, you will be provided with the services of the Company
appointed tax advisors to a maximum value of £3,500 per annum.

	 	11.7	 	During your employment, you are entitled to an annual travel
allowance of £5,000 gross per annum in accordance with the prevailing Company policy.

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

	 	12.	 	Confidentiality

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

	 	(a)	 	disclose or communicate to any person or permit or enable any
person to acquire any Confidential Business Information other than for any
legitimate purposes of a Group Company; or
	 
	 	(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 any Group Company or its Clients or may be likely to do so or for
any purpose other than in the discharge of your duties hereunder; or
	 
	 	(c)	 	sell or seek to sell to anyone Confidential Business
Information other than for any legitimate purposes of a Group Company; or
	 
	 	(d)	 	obtain or seek to obtain any financial advantage direct or
indirect from the disclosure of Confidential Business Information other than
for a Group Company.
	 
	 	 	 	During the continuance of your employment and at all times thereafter you
shall use your best endeavours to prevent the unauthorised publication or
disclosure of the Confidential Business Information or any part thereof.

	 	12.2	 	This Clause shall not apply to:

	 	(a)	 	information or knowledge which comes into the public domain
	 
	 	(b)	 	other than in consequence of your default;
	 
	 	(c)	 	any information which you have acquired other than through the
performance of your duties for a Group Company; or any information which is
required to be disclosed by you by order of a court of competent jurisdiction
or an appropriate regulatory authority or 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.

	 	13.	 	Activities during your employment

	 	13.1	 	During your employment you may only be engaged, concerned or interested
(whether directly or indirectly) in any other trade, business or occupation with the
prior written consent of the Company, as set forth in the Travelport Code of Business
Conduct & Ethics (“the Code”). Subject to the provisions of the Code, the Company will
not unreasonably withhold such consent but consent will not be given where the outside
activity in question gives rise to any conflict of interest with regard to the
Company’s business or if it is likely to detract from the proper performance of your
duties under this contract.
	 
	 	13.2	 	During your employment you must not, except with the Company’s written consent
and subject to the provisions of the Code, introduce to any other competing business
orders for goods or services with which the Company is able to deal.
	 
	 	13.3	 	During your employment you must not, except with the Company’s express written
consent or instructions, represent yourself as the Company’s authorised agent save as

referring to the Company without the express prior permission of the Corporate
Communications Department.

	 	14.1	 	All copyright, design rights, database rights, trademarks, and any other
intellectual property rights (other than patents) in any software, databases,

material or work (the “Materials”) of any description that is capable of protection
under the intellectual property laws (other than patent law) or laws of confidence of
any country which is made, developed, created, devised or designed (whether alone or

business and that you will return the Materials and all copies and extracts from the
Materials, to the Company on demand at any time and without demand on the termination
of your employment, howsoever arising.
	 
	 	14.3	 	You shall promptly disclose full details of all inventions, discoveries,

of the Company, and shall if requested by the Company deliver to the

 - 8 - 

 

	 	 	 	Company all copies and material representations of such Inventions in your
possession, custody or control.

	 	14.4	 	To the extent that under the mandatory laws of any country an Invention or any
patent or other rights therein belongs to you, you shall on request by the Company
negotiate with the Company in good faith for the assignment or license of the Invention
and such rights to the Company.
	 
	 	14.5	 	All other Inventions and all other rights therein shall belong to the Company,
and, to the extent not already legally owned by the Company, shall be held on trust for
the Company, and at the Company’s request and cost you shall execute any documents and

your behalf:

	 	14.6.1	 	to execute any instrument, to do any thing, and generally to use your name
for the purpose of giving the Company (or its nominee) the full benefit of the
provisions of clauses 14.1 to 14.5 above; and
	 
	 	14.6.2	 	to give to any third party a certificate in writing (signed by a director or
secretary of the Company) confirming that any instrument or act falls within
the authority conferred by this clause; such a certificate will be deemed to be
conclusive evidence that this is the case.

	 	14.7	 	Save as provided above, you shall keep all Inventions and all details thereof
confidential to yourself and any lawyer or patent agent instructed by you. You shall
not without the Company’s consent apply for protection or registration in any country
of any Invention belonging to the Company and shall promptly inform the Company if you
apply for protection or registration of an Invention belonging to you in any country.

	 	15.	 	Disciplinary and grievance procedure
	 
	 	 	 	The Company has disciplinary and grievance procedures which appear on the Company intranet.

terminated.

exclusion pursuant to clause 16.3.1 should be used during the exclusion period

-10-

 

	 	 	 	(as appropriate) by paying to you your basic salary (less deductions of tax and
national insurance) in lieu of all or part of your notice period as the case may be.
	 
	 	16.7	 	Should you be involuntarily terminated for any reason other than cause (as
determined by the Company) or you resign in circumstances where you are entitled to
resign in response to a fundamental breach of contract by the Company (by way of
non-exhaustive example only, it is agreed that a fundamental breach of either this
contract or that certain service agreement entered dated 17 March 2010 by and between
you and Travelport plc shall for these purposes only be treated as constituting a
fundamental breach of contract by the Company under this agreement, which shall include
any reduction to your overall base salary and bonus that is not remedied by the Company
within 30 days after written notice by you), and provided that you execute a compromise
agreement that will be provided to you by the Company in its standard form and that
will include a release of all claims against any Group Company or any of their
directors, officers, agents or employees, a non-competition provision for 12 months
following your termination of employment, and a non-solicitation provision for 12

and which shall be less deductions of tax and national insurance:

	 	16.7.1	 	A lump sum payment that is equivalent to 12 months of your base annual salary
payable under this agreement at the time of termination;
	 
	 	16.7.2	 	A lump sum payment equal to your then current annual target bonus payable to
you with respect to your service under this agreement for the year in which
your employment terminates, pro-rated based upon the number of days you were
employed with the Company during the year of termination and for which you have
not otherwise received or been eligible for a bonus, and in lieu of any other
bonus for the period in which you are terminated; and
	 
	 	16.7.3	 	vesting of the awards granted pursuant to any equity plan of the Company
(including without limitation under the Travelport plc IPO Incentive Scheme or
Performance Share Plan (or any successor plan(s) established by the Company or
any of its affiliates)), in each case as, and to the extent, described in the
documentation related to such awards; provided that in each case such vesting
shall not be less favourable to you than (1) in the case of an award which
vests, in whole or in part, on the basis of performance, the portion of such
award which would have vested assuming (i) that your employment continued for
18 months following the termination of your employment, (ii) that the award
vests ratably on a monthly basis over the performance period, and (iii)
performance at target, and (2) in the case of an award which vests solely on
the basis of

-11-

 

	 	 	 	continued employment, the portion of the award that would have vested
assuming (i) that your employment continued for 18 months following the
termination of your employment, and (ii) that the award vests ratably on a
monthly basis over the vesting period; provided, however, that, for purposes
of this subparagraph 16.7.3, “target” shall be the amount of equity that
would have vested had the Company achieved its budgeted target level of
performance (measured at the time performance targets are put in place) and
that in any event it shall not be less than 66.7% of the award; further
provided, however, that nothing in this subparagraph 16.7.3 shall restrict
the ability of the Board to grant more favourable vesting terms to you.

	 	16.8	 	Upon termination of the Employment howsoever arising you will:

	 	16.8.1	 	resign from all offices, trusteeships or positions held by you in the Company
(or any other Group Company) and transfer all nominee shares held by you in the
Company (or any other Group Company) without compensation for loss of office or
otherwise and, should you fail to do so, your manager is irrevocably authorised
to appoint some person in your name and on your behalf to do, execute and
perform any acts, deeds, documents or things necessary to effect such
resignation or transfer;
	 
	 	16.8.2	 	deliver (or, if you are dead, of unsound mind or bankrupt, then your personal
representatives or such other persons as may be appointed to administer your
estate and affairs will deliver) up to the Company or its authorised
representative all property including (without limitation) all documents,
records, keys, correspondence, discs, tapes, telephones, credit cards or other
items in your possession or under his control which relate in any way to the
business or affairs or customers of the Company (or any other Group Company) or
are the property of the Company (or any other Group Company) and all extracts
or copies of them regardless of the medium on which such extracts or copies are
stored or held; and
	 
	 	16.8.3	 	not at any time after the termination wrongfully represent yourself as being
a director of or employed by or connected with the Company (or any other Group
Company) nor make or publish any untrue or misleading statement or comment
about the Company (or any other Group Company) or their respective officers and
employees.

	 	16.9	 	You acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding that the personal contact is
between you and representatives of Clients, Suppliers, Agents and Distributors
(collectively referred hereafter as “Business Partners”), the relationship with them is
one which exists with the Company and is valuable to the Company and that, so far as
concerns those Business Partners whose business 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

-12-

 

	 	 	 	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 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.
	 
	 	16.10	 	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
plc or its successor) about the proposed cessation of your employment hereunder, other
than within the agreed communication plan.
	 
	 	16.11	 	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.

	 	17.	 	Company Property

printouts, plans, projections) together with all copies which are in your possession or
under your control. The ownership of all such property and documents will at all time
remain vested in the Company.

	 	18.	 	Restrictive Covenants

	 	18.1	 	You acknowledge that in the course of your employment you are likely to obtain
knowledge of Group Companies’ trade secrets and other confidential information and will
have dealings with Clients, Suppliers, Agents and Distributors (collectively referred
hereafter as Business Partners) and that the relationships with such Business Partners
are proprietary rights belonging to the relevant Group Company and that it is fair and
