Section 1.8                                      Additional Terms and Conditions.  In addition to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Licensors and Licensees under each Schedule shall also be bound by any additional terms and conditions set forth in such Schedule as if such terms and conditions were set forth in this Agreement.

 

Section 1.9                                      Assignment of Licensed Materials.  For the avoidance of doubt, if a Licensor assigns all or any portion of its right, title or interest in or to any Licensed Materials, such assignment shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including all applicable License Grants.

all assertions, actions, suits and proceedings by Third Parties that assert the invalidity or unenforceability of any Licensed Materials (each, an “Infringement Action”).  Licensor shall be entitled to keep all proceeds arising from any such assertions, actions, suits and proceedings brought by it and any settlements or compromises thereof.

 

Section 2.4                                      Bankruptcy-Related Matters.   Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event a Licensor becomes subject to any bankruptcy or similar proceedings:  (a) all License Grants to each applicable Licensee shall be deemed fully retained by and vested in such Licensee as protected intellectual property rights under Section 365(n) of the United States Bankruptcy Code (and similar laws in other jurisdictions) (“Section 365(n)”); and (b) each Licensee shall have all of the rights afforded to licensees under Section 365(n).  The Parties agree that upon any election by an applicable Licensee pursuant to Section 365(n)(1)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code, such Licensee shall be entitled to continue to exercise the license granted under this Agreement.  In the event of commencement of bankruptcy proceedings by or against a Licensee, such Licensee or trustee in bankruptcy, as applicable, shall be entitled to assume the applicable License Grants and shall be entitled to retain all such License Grants.

 

ARTICLE III

 

CONFIDENTIALITY

 

Section 3.1                                      Protection of Confidential Information.  In connection with the License Grants from each applicable Licensor to each applicable Licensee, each such Licensee may receive confidential and proprietary information of such Licensor, including proprietary information concerning inventions, trade secrets, confidential know-how and other confidential technical, business or operational information related to the businesses of such Licensor (the “Confidential Information”).  All Confidential Information shall remain the exclusive property of the applicable Licensor, and the applicable Licensee may not disclose any Confidential Information of such Licensor to any Third Party, provided that the receiving party may disclose, on a need-to-know basis, such Confidential Information to its third party subcontractors who have signed non-disclosure agreements with the receiving party, and/or to its current employees, consultants, agents, officers, directors and/or legal or financial representatives.  Each applicable Licensee shall maintain the Confidential Information of the applicable Licensors with with at least the same degree of care (which in no event shall be less than reasonable care) as it uses to protect its own Confidential Information.  In furtherance of such obligation, each such Licensee shall instruct its employees and Third Party contractors and consultants, as well as its Affiliates, as to the confidentiality obligations hereunder.

Section 3.3                                      Required Disclosure.  If a Licensee is required by order of any court or other Governmental Entity to disclose any Confidential Information in its possession, such Licensee shall provide the applicable Licensor with prompt written notice of any such requirement, so that such Licensor may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement.  Such Licensee will not oppose action by such Licensor to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information, and will cooperate and comply with, at such Licensor’s expense, all reasonable requests by such Licensor related thereto.  For purposes of this Section 3.3, any disclosure made in connection with the disclosure requirements of the securities laws or regulations of any country shall be deemed to be “an order of any court or other Governmental Entity.”

(b)                                 In the event that an Affiliate of a Licensee ceases to be an Affiliate of such Licensee (such Affiliate, a “Divested Affiliate”), any sublicenses to such Divested Affiliate under any License Agreement will, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable sublicense agreement by which the Divested Affiliate received its sublicense (each, a “Sublicense Agreement”), continue for the term of the License Grant to the Licensee that granted the sublicense to the Divested Affiliate (the “Granting Licensee”); provided, that, notwithstanding any broader sublicense grant by the Granting Licensee to the Divested Affiliated under such Sublicense Agreement, following the divestiture of the Divested Affiliate (a “Divestiture”):  (i) the scope of use under such sublicense shall be no broader than the businesses in which the Divested Affiliate is

(c)                                  Divested Affiliates shall continue to receive any applicable Maintenance and Support that such Divested Affiliates were receiving prior to the Divestiture, under the then-current terms and conditions by which the Granting Licensee receives such Maintenance and Support (without additional payments), for a transition period equal to the shorter of:  (i) one (1) year from the date of such Divested Affiliate’s Divestiture, unless the Divested Affiliate is GTA (or its successor), in which case five (5) years from the date of GTA’s Divestiture, and (ii) the period of time for which the Granting Licensee is entitled to receive Maintenance and Support under the applicable License Agreement (a “Transition Period”).  With respect to such Maintenance and Support that continues during a Transition Period, unless and to the extent that the applicable Divested Affiliate notifies the applicable Licensor to the contrary in writing, the applicable Licensor and the applicable Divested Affiliate shall use good faith efforts to agree, at least sixty (60) days prior to the end of the Transition Period, upon commercially reasonable terms (including pricing terms) for such Divested Affiliate’s continued receipt of Maintenance and Support following the foregoing period.

 

(d)                                 Any assignment or transfer in violation of the foregoing in this Section 6.1 shall be void.  Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Parties and their respective successors and assigns.

 

Section 6.2                                      Relationship of the Parties.  Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to render any Party an agent of any other Party and or grant any Party any authority to bind any other Party, transact any business in the other Party’s name or on its behalf, or make any promises or representations on behalf of the other Party.  Each Party will perform all of its respective obligations under this Agreement as an independent contractor, and no joint venture, partnership or other relationship shall be created or implied by this Agreement.

 

Section 6.3                                      Governing Law and Submission to Jurisdiction.  This Agreement shall be governed by, enforced under and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect (to the fullest extent provided by law) to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule thereof which might result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.  Subject to Section 6.7, each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and of the United States of America in each case located in the County of New York for any litigation arising out of or relating to this Agreement (and agrees not to commence any litigation relating thereto except in such courts) and further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to its respective address set forth in Section 6.5 (or to such other address for notice that such Party has given the other Parties written notice of in

Section 6.4                                      Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, including all Schedules, Exhibits, and Attachments hereto, constitute the entire agreement among the Parties relating to the subject matter hereof, and there are no further agreements or understandings, written or oral, among the Parties with respect thereto.  If and to the extent that there is a conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Separation Agreement (or any other agreement entered into in connection with the Separation Agreement by the parties hereto or thereto), this Agreement shall control.

 

Section 6.5                                      Notices.  All notices, requests, claims, consents, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given if delivered personally, by facsimile (that is confirmed) or sent by overnight courier (providing proof of delivery) to the Parties at the following addresses (or at such other address for a Party as shall be specified by like notice):

Section 6.6                                      Dispute Resolution.

 

(a)                                  In the event of any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach, termination or validity thereof, or the transactions contemplated hereby (a “Dispute”), upon the written notice of any Party hereto, the Parties shall attempt in good faith to negotiate a resolution of the Dispute for a period of twenty (20) days after the receipt of such notice.

 

(b)                                 Further to the foregoing, if any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to any obligation to reach agreement on the specific terms and conditions regarding any specified subject matter (e.g., the terms of a reseller agreement or for maintenance and support services) under this Agreement or any Schedule hereto or any other matter with respect to which the applicable Parties have expressly provided for arbitration in this Agreement or the applicable Schedule (a “Failure to Agree”) has not been resolved for any reason after twenty (20) days have elapsed from the receipt by a Party thereto of notice thereof, such Failure to Agree shall be determined, at the request of any relevant Party, by expedited arbitration conducted in New York City, before and in accordance with the then-existing Expedited Procedures of the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), except as modified herein (the “Rules”).  The applicable Party shall provide the products or services with respect to which there is a Failure to Agree in good faith, pending resolution of the Failure to Agree and subject to the terms of such resolution.  There shall be three arbitrators.  Each Party shall appoint one arbitrator within ten (10) business days of receipt by respondent of a copy of the demand for arbitration. The two Party-appointed arbitrators shall have ten (10) business days from the appointment of the second arbitrator to agree on a third arbitrator (who shall have knowledge of the travel business and have no current or past relationship to any applicable Party) who shall chair the arbitral tribunal.  Any arbitrator not timely appointed by the parties shall be appointed by the AAA in accordance with the listing, ranking and striking method in the Rules, and in any such procedure, each Party shall be given a limited number of strikes, excluding strikes for cause.  The arbitrators’ fees shall be split equally between the Travelport Parties involved in the arbitration, on one hand, and the Orbitz Parties involved in the arbitration, on the other hand.  Any controversy concerning whether a Dispute is a Failure to Agree, whether arbitration has been waived, whether an assignee of this Agreement is bound to arbitrate, or as to the interpretation of enforceability of this Section 6.6(b) shall be determined by the arbitrators.  In resolving any Failure to Agree, the Parties intend that the arbitrators shall apply the substantive Laws of the State of New York, without giving effect (to the fullest extent provided by law) to any choice of law principles thereof that would mandate the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.  The Parties intend that the provisions to arbitrate set forth herein be valid, enforceable and irrevocable.  Without limiting the provisions of the Rules, unless otherwise agreed in writing by or among the relevant parties or permitted by this

 

11



 

Agreement, the relevant Parties shall keep, and shall cause the members of their applicable group to keep, confidential all matters relating to the arbitration or the award, and any negotiations, conferences and discussions pursuant to this Section 6.6(b) shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations; provided, that such matters may be disclosed (i) to the extent reasonably necessary in any proceeding brought to enforce the award or for entry of a judgment upon the award and (ii) to the extent otherwise required by Law or stock exchange.  Nothing said or disclosed, nor any document produced, in the course of any negotiations, conferences and discussions that is not otherwise independently discoverable shall be offered or received as evidence or used for impeachment or for any other purpose in any current or future arbitration.  Nothing contained herein is intended to or shall be construed to prevent either Party from applying to any court of competent jurisdiction for interim measures or other provisional relief in connection with the subject matter of any Failures to Agree.  Without prejudice to such provisional remedies as may be available under the jurisdiction of a court, the arbitral tribunal shall have full authority to grant provisional remedies and to direct the parties to request that any court modify or vacate any temporary or preliminary relief issued by such court, and to award damages for the failure of either Party to respect the arbitral tribunal’s orders to that effect.

 

Section 6.7                                      Equitable Relief.  If any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or otherwise breached, in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other remedy available to any Party, an aggrieved Party under this Agreement shall be entitled to seek immediate injunctive relief.  Such remedies, and any and all other remedies provided for in this Agreement, shall be cumulative in nature and not exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies whatsoever which any Party may otherwise have.

Hosting, Maintenance

 

And Support:

Licensor will provide users of CAR with hosting, maintenance (including enhancements, upgrades and updates) and product and technology support (pursuant to a service level agreement), at the same scope and level as the service levels that Licensor (or its applicable Affiliate) provides as of the date of the Master License Agreement to users of Travelport Classic or any other corporate agency reseller travel product offered by Licensors (to be no less than substantially the same level of service as Licensor provides to third parties with respect to CAR, and except to the extent that a Licensee elects, and Licensor reasonably can provide, higher or lower, service levels to such

 

17



 

Licensee), and will continue to offer maintenance and support services for at least (***) following the CAR Launch Date, and may terminate such maintenance and support at any time after such (***) period upon at least (***) prior written notice.

Source Code:

Within sixty (60) days following the Effective Date, Licensor and Licensees shall enter into a mutually agreeable escrow agreement with a mutually agreeable software escrow agent to implement and maintain a software escrow of CAR.

The Licensees shall pay the cost of the foregoing escrow arrangements, with each Licensee paying an equal share unless otherwise agreed by such Licensees.

Such escrow agreement shall, in addition to terms reasonable and customary for such agreements in similar circumstances, provide that the source code to CAR will be released (solely for use as permitted by the license granted under this Schedule 5) to a Licensee immediately upon such Licensee’s request: (a) if Licensor is not providing maintenance or support services in accordance with the CAR MFN to such Licensee for any reason (other than due to a termination of the CAR White Label Agreement (or this License Agreement if such White Label Agreement is not yet in effect) by Licensor for cause or by such Licensee for convenience), (b) upon a Release Event with respect to the ultimate parent entity of Licensor (or, for the avoidance of doubt, to the extent this License Agreement is assigned by Licensor, a Release Event with respect to the ultimate parent company of the then-current assignee) or (c) upon termination of the CAR White Label Agreement (or this License Agreement if such White Label Agreement is not in effect) by such Licensee for cause (such release under this clause (c) to be only to such Licensee(s) that terminate the applicable agreement). In the event of any release of source code, from escrow or directly from Licensor, Licensor will provide reasonable transition training and implementation support with respect to such source code, at Licensor’s cost plus a reasonable margin. Following such training and implementation support, Licensors shall have no further support obligations with respect to CAR under this License Agreement.

support and maintenance services with respect to the Back End Technology, and the parties shall negotiate in good faith the terms of such services.

 

 

 

 

The parties shall agree on terms (including the annual Maintenance and Support fee) for maintenance and support services at that time and, if there are no other customers for which Licensor is providing maintenance and support services, then at pricing substantially intended to be at Licensor’s cost plus a (***) (in each case, which terms shall be no less favorable than those Licensor makes available to any other Person (the “Back End MFN”)). Licensees will have reasonable audit rights of Licensor’s cost to provide support. If the parties cannot agree on such terms, including such Maintenance and Support fee, such terms will be determined pursuant to arbitration, as set forth in Section 6.6(b) of the Agreement .

 

 

 

 

Source Code:

Within sixty (60) days following the Effective Date, Licensor and Licensees shall enter into a mutually agreeable escrow agreement with a mutually agreeable software escrow agent to implement and maintain a software escrow of the Back End Technology. Upon final completion of all development of the Back End Technology (currently anticipated for Q4 of 2008), and thereafter on an annual basis or, if sooner, after any material change to the Back End Technology, the Source Code for the Back End Technology will be promptly placed into escrow in favor of each Licensee. The Licensees shall pay the cost of the foregoing escrow arrangements, with each Licensee paying an equal share unless otherwise agreed by such Licensees.

 

 

 

 

 

For purposes of this Schedule 7 only, “Source Code” shall mean all code written in human readable computer programming language (and related interpreters and/or compilers) that are required to convert to object code (computer-executable form) software that supports the APIs and Web Services published and provides the functionality and services described by such APIs and Web Services and all related design documentation (e.g., flowcharts, architectural diagrams, specifications, etc.). For clarity, Source Code that is not used by the APIs and/or Web Services will not be deposited in escrow, as distribution of such code will not be necessary for Travelport to continue using the source code as permitted by this agreement. No Source Code related to the front-end (i.e., the look and feel and user interface for all of

 

30



 

 

Licensors’ web sites or client’s web or online artifacts) will be part of any source code distribution, regardless of the availability of APIs and/or Web Services as access points. “Source Code” does not include any object code, databases, customer data of Licensors or any source code or software licensed from third parties.

 

 

 

 

 

Such escrow agreement shall, in addition to terms reasonable and customary for such agreements in similar circumstances, provide that the source code to the Back End Technology will be released (solely for use as permitted by the license granted under this Schedule 7) to a Licensee immediately upon such Licensee’s request: (a) if Licensor is not providing hosting, maintenance or support services to Licensees for any reason in accordance with the Back End MFN (other than due to a termination of the agreement between Licensor and Licensee with respect to the Back End Technology (or this License Agreement if such agreement is not yet in effect) by Licensor for cause or by such Licensee for convenience), (b) upon a Release Event with respect to the ultimate parent entity of Licensor (or, for the avoidance of doubt, to the extent this License Agreement is assigned by Licensor, a Release Event with respect to the ultimate parent company of the then-current assignee) or (c) upon termination of the agreement between Licensor and Licensee with respect to the Back End Technology (or this License Agreement if such agreement is not in effect) by such Licensee for cause (such release under this clause (c) to be only to such Licensee(s) that terminate the applicable agreement). In the event of any release of source code, from escrow or directly from Licensor, Licensor will provide reasonable transition training and implementation support with respect to such source code, at Licensor’s cost plus a reasonable margin. Following such training and implementation support, Licensors shall have no further support obligations with respect to the Back End Technology under this License Agreement.
