letters of credit described in such Section 2.10(d)(i) (any such letter of credit, a “Specified Letter of Credit”) outstanding on the date of such Commitment Termination and the denominator of which is $75,000,000 multiplied by (2) $4,103.97 multiplied by (3) the number of days from and including the date of such Commitment Termination to and including September 30, 2013 plus (y) for each day after the date of such Commitment Termination and on or prior to February 1, 2012 on which the aggregate stated amount of all Specified Letters of Credit is reduced, an amount equal to (1) a fraction the numerator of which is the aggregate stated amount of all Specified Letters of Credit outstanding immediately prior to such reduction minus the aggregate stated amount of all Specified Letters of Credit outstanding immediately after such reduction and the denominator of which is $75,000,000 multiplied by (2) $4,103.97 multiplied by (3) the number of days from and including the date of such reduction to and including September 30, 2013;

(c)

If no Commitment Termination has occurred on or prior to February 1, 2012 but a Commitment Termination occurs after February 1, 2012, on the fifth Business Day of the month immediately following the month in which such Commitment Termination occurred, Travelport shall rebate to OWW a portion of the amount paid by OWW to Travelport under this paragraph 1 equal to (1) a fraction, the numerator of which is $75,000,000 minus the aggregate stated amount of all Specified Letters of Credit outstanding on the date of such Commitment Termination and the denominator of which is $75,000,000 multiplied by (2) $4,103.97 multiplied by (3) the number of days from and including the date of such Commitment Termination through and including September 30, 2013; and

(d)

If, on any date after the later of February 1, 2012 and the date of any Commitment Termination, the aggregate stated amount of all Specified Letters of Credit is reduced, Travelport shall, on the fifth Business Day of the month immediately following the month in which such reduction occurred, rebate to OWW a portion of the amount paid by OWW to Travelport pursuant to this paragraph 1 equal to (1) a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate stated amount of all Specified Letters of Credit outstanding immediately prior to such reduction minus the aggregate stated amount of all Specified Letters of Credit outstanding immediately after such reduction and the denominator of which is $75,000,000 multiplied by (2) $4,103.97 multiplied by (3) the number of days from and including the date of such reduction through and including September 30, 2013.
