Section 5.2             Confidentiality.

(a)           From and after the Closing, the confidentiality obligations of Priceline US (and any of its Affiliates) under the Mutual Nondisclosure Agreement between the Agoda Companies and Priceline US dated May 17, 2007 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) will terminate with respect to all Confidential Information.  From and after the Closing, each Seller will, and will cause each of its Affiliates to, maintain the confidentiality of, and not use for their own benefit or the benefit of any other Person (but may disclose to its advisors and representatives as reasonably required, provided such advisors or representatives are made aware of the confidentiality obligations under this Section 5.2 and the disclosing Seller remains responsible for any breach thereof by such advisors or representatives), the Confidential Information.  As used in this Section 5.2, “Confidential Information” means any confidential information, in whatever form or medium, concerning the business of any of the Acquired Companies, but will not, however, include information which (i) is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a disclosure by any Seller, (ii) is or becomes available to any Seller on a non-confidential basis from a source (other than an Acquired Company or any director, officer, employee, agent, consultant or other advisor or representative of an Acquired Company) which, to the knowledge of the Seller after due inquiry, is not prohibited from disclosing such information to the Seller by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation to any Acquired Company or (iii) is required to be disclosed by any Seller by law, any Governmental Authority or pursuant to any proceeding; provided, however, such Seller will notify the Purchasers promptly of the request or requirement for disclosure and the Purchasers shall have the right to seek an appropriate protective order.

(c)           Effective upon the Closing, the Sellers hereby assign to the Company all of their rights under each confidentiality agreement (other than the Confidentiality Agreement) to which any of the Sellers is a party and which pertain to the business or operations of any Acquired Company.  Each Seller, upon the request of either Purchaser from time to time, will use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Company in enforcing the provisions of any such confidentiality agreement.

Section 5.3             Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation.

(a)           The Management Shareholders acknowledge that the Acquired Companies have over many years devoted substantial time, effort and resources to developing the Acquired Companies’ trade secrets and other confidential and proprietary information, as well as the Acquired Companies’ relationships with customers, suppliers, employees and others doing business with the Acquired Companies; that such relationships, trade secrets and other information are vital to the successful conduct of the Acquired Companies’ businesses in the future; that because of the Management Shareholders’

access to the Acquired Companies’ confidential information and trade secrets, the Management Shareholders would be in a unique position to divert business from the Acquired Companies and to commit irreparable damage to the Acquired Companies were the Management Shareholders to be allowed to compete with the Acquired Companies or to commit any of the other acts prohibited below; that the enforcement of the restrictive covenants against the Management Shareholders would not impose any undue burden upon any Management Shareholder; and that the ability to enforce the restrictive covenants against the Management Shareholders is a material inducement to the decision of the Purchasers to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  Accordingly, during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the [***] of the Closing Date:

(i)            no Management Shareholder will, anywhere in the world, directly or indirectly, whether as a principal, agent, employee or otherwise, or alone or in association with any Person, own, share in the earnings of, invest in the stock, bonds or other securities of, manage, operate, control, participate in the ownership, management, operation, or control of, finance (whether as a lender, investor or otherwise), guaranty the obligations of, be employed by, associated with, or otherwise aid or assist in any manner any Person that is engaged in or competitive with the business of any Acquired Company (a “Competing Activity”); provided, however, if any Management Shareholder’s employment with the Acquired Companies ceases for any reason before the [***] of the Closing Date, the scope of Competing Activity applicable to such Management Shareholder shall be limited to business conducted by the Acquired Companies as of the Closing Date and any additional business conducted by the Acquired Companies in the period between the Closing Date and the date such employment ends.  The Management Shareholders will, however, not be in violation of this Section 5.3(a) solely by reason of investing in stock, bonds or other securities of any Person engaged in a Competing Activity (but without otherwise participating in such business), if (A) such stock, bonds or other securities are listed on any national securities exchange or have been registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and (B) such investment does not exceed, in the case of any class of the capital stock of any one issuer, [***] of the issued and outstanding shares of such capital stock, or, in the case of bonds or other securities, [***]of the aggregate principal amount thereof issued and outstanding;

(ii)           no Management Shareholder will directly or indirectly (A) solicit, on behalf of a competitive business, the business of any Person who is a customer of any Acquired Company, (B) cause, induce or attempt to cause or induce any customer, supplier, independent contractor, licensee, licensor, or franchisee or other business relation of any Acquired Company to cease or reduce the extent of its business relationship with such Acquired Company or to deal with any competitor of such Acquired Company or (C) in any way interfere with the relationship, between any Acquired Company and any of its customers, suppliers, licensees, licensors, franchisees or other business relations;

(iii)          no Management Shareholder will directly or indirectly, recruit, solicit, cause, induce or attempt to cause or induce any employee of any Acquired Company to leave his or her employment either for the Management Shareholder or for any other Person, or in any way interfere with the relationship between any Acquired Company and any of its employees; and

(iv)          no Seller will disparage the Purchasers or any of their Affiliates, the Acquired Companies, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents who are known as such to such Seller, except that this Section 5.3(a)(iv) shall not apply to any truthful testimony or responses to inquiries from any Governmental Authority or with respect to any legal proceeding to which the Seller is a party.

34

(b)           In the event a judicial determination is made that any provision of this Section 5.3 constitutes an unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable restriction against any Seller, the provisions of this Section 5.3 shall be rendered void only to the extent that such judicial determination finds such provisions to be unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable with respect to any Seller.  In this regard, any judicial authority construing this Agreement shall be empowered to sever any portion of the territory, any prohibited business activity or any time period from the coverage of this Section 5.3 and to apply the provisions of this Section 5.3 to the remaining portion of the territory, the remaining business activities and the remaining time period not so severed by such judicial authority.  Moreover, notwithstanding the fact that any provision of this Section 5.3 is determined not to be specifically enforceable, the Purchasers shall nevertheless be entitled to recover monetary damages as a result of the breach of such provision by the Sellers.  The time period during which the prohibitions set forth in this Section 5.3 shall apply, shall be tolled and suspended for a period equal to the aggregate time during which any Seller violates such prohibitions in any respect.

Section 5.4             Public Announcements.  For purposes of securities law compliance, each party agrees not to issue any press release or make any other public announcement relating to this Agreement without the prior written approval of the other party, except that the Purchasers reserve the right, without the Company’s or any Seller’s prior consent, to make any public disclosure it believes in good faith is required by applicable securities laws or securities listing standards (in which case the Purchasers shall advise the Sellers prior to making such disclosure and shall give the Sellers an opportunity to review such disclosure).

Section 5.5             [***].

Section 5.6             Further Actions.  Subject to the other express provisions of this Agreement, upon the reasonable request of any party to this Agreement, the other parties will (a) furnish to the requesting party any additional information, (b) execute and deliver, at their own expense, any other documents and (c) take any other actions as the requesting party may reasonably require to more effectively carry out the intent of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including those actions necessary to (i) register the Share Transfer Forms with the Mauritian Registrar General and to ensure that the name of the Share Purchaser is entered into the shareholder register of the Company, and (ii) to procure that A.T. takes all further actions necessary for all rights, interest and title to the IP Assets to vest in AGIP and to be registered with applicable Governmental Authorities.

(b)           in the case of Taxes imposed on a periodic basis with respect to the assets of the Acquired Companies, or otherwise measured by the level of any item during a period, deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding period), multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire period.

39

(h)           Subject to the provisions of Section 7.7 hereof, the foregoing indemnification payments will be made within [***] after the date (the “Indemnity Determination Date”) on which (i) the amount of such payments are determined by mutual agreement of the parties, (ii) the amount of such payments are determined pursuant to Section 7.3(c) if an Objection Notice has not been timely delivered in accordance with Section 7.3(b) or (iii) both such amount and the Indemnifying Party’s obligation to pay such amount have been finally determined by a final Judgment of a court having jurisdiction over such proceeding as permitted by Section 8.12 if an Objection Notice has been timely delivered in accordance with Section 7.3(b) (the final determination of such indemnification obligation and payment in accordance with the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) being referred to herein as the “Indemnity Final Determination”).

(i)            For purposes of  Section 7.3 and Section 7.4, (i) if the Sellers comprise the Indemnifying Party, any references to the Indemnifying Party (except provisions relating to an obligation to make or a right to receive any payments) will be deemed to refer to the Seller Representative and (ii) if the Sellers comprise the Indemnified Party, any references to the Indemnified Party (except provisions relating to an obligation to make or a right to receive any payments) will be deemed to refer to the Seller Representative.

Section 7.4             Third-Party Claims.   Except as set forth in Schedule G, the following procedures shall apply with respect to Third-Party Claims (as defined herein):

(b)           If a Third-Party Claim is made against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to undertake, conduct and control the defense thereof and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its choosing (with such counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party), at its own expense, provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to undertake, conduct and control the defense of any Third-Party Claim if (i) such claim includes both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and the former shall have been advised in writing by counsel (with a copy to the Indemnifying Party) that there are one or more legal or equitable defenses available to them that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (ii) the Indemnifying Party fails to provide reasonable assurance to the Indemnified Party of its financial capacity to defend such Third-Party Claim and provide indemnification with respect to such Third-Party Claim.  If the Indemnifying Party shall undertake, conduct and control the defense of any Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate, at its own cost and expense, in the defense of such claim and to employ separate counsel of its choosing for such purpose.  Should the Indemnifying Party so elect to assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not, as long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the Indemnified Party for legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof, other than reasonable costs of investigation.

(c)           If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such a Third-Party Claim, (i) it will be conclusively established for purposes of this Agreement that that the claims that are the subject of the Third-Party Claim are within the scope of and subject to indemnification under this Article 7; (ii) no compromise or settlement of such claims may be effected by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnified Party’s consent in writing (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless (A) there is no admission of any violation of Law or any violation of the rights of any Person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the Indemnified Party, and (B) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party and which release the Indemnified Party completely and unconditionally in connection with such Third-Party Claim.  The Indemnified Party will have no Liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such claims effected without its consent.

(d)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim (and shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel incurred by the Indemnified Party in defending such Third-Party Claim) if the Third-Party Claim seeks an order, injunction or other equitable relief or relief for other than money damages against the Indemnified Party.

(e)           If notice is given to an Indemnifying Party of a Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party does not, within [***] after the Indemnified Party’s notice is given, give notice to the Indemnified Party of its election to undertake, conduct and control the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party has the right to undertake, conduct and control the defense of any such claim, provided, however, that (i) the Indemnified Party shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) before entering into any compromise or settlement of such claims, and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of such claim and to employ separate counsel of its choosing for such purpose, at its own expense.

(f)            The party not controlling the defense under this Section 7.4 (the “Non-Controlling Party”) will, upon reasonable request, furnish the party controlling the defense (the “Controlling Party”) with such information as it may have with respect to such Third-Party Claim (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on such party and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other documents evidencing or asserting the same) and will otherwise reasonably cooperate with and assist the Controlling Party in the defense of such Third-Party Claim.  All reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Non-Controlling Party’s cooperation shall be borne by the Controlling Party.

Section 7.5             Survival.

(a)           All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement will survive the Closing for a period of [***] from the Closing Date; provided, however, that (i) the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.14 (Tax Matters), and the corresponding right to make claims thereunder, will survive until [***] following the [***], and (ii) the representations and warranties set forth in [***].  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the rights of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties and the Sellers to make claims for indemnification or reimbursement based upon any covenant to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date will survive in accordance with its terms.

(b)           If an Indemnified Party delivers to an Indemnifying Party, before expiration of a representation or warranty, either a Claim Notice based upon a breach of any such representation or warranty, or a notice that, as a result of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party reasonably expects to incur Losses, then the applicable representation or warranty will survive until, but only for purposes of,

[***] = Confidential Treatment requested for redacted portion; redacted portion has been filed separately with the Commission.

41

the resolution of the matter covered by such notice.  If the Proceeding or written claim with respect to which such notice has been given is definitively withdrawn or resolved in favor of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party will promptly so notify the Indemnifying Party.

Section 7.6             Limitations on Liability.

(a)           Neither the Sellers nor the Purchasers are liable under (i) Section 7.1 (other than Section 7.1(b)) or Section 7.2 (other than Section 7.2.(b)), respectively, unless and until, with respect to an individual claim, the total monetary value of all aggregated Losses exceeds [***] (the “Claim Amount”) [***]; and (ii) Section 7.1(a) or Section 7.2(a), respectively, unless and until the Claim Amount(s), when aggregated with other Claim Amount(s), so recoverable in respect of other such claims applicable to either Sellers, on one hand, or the Purchasers, on the other hand, exceeds [***] (the “Threshold”) [***].

(b)           Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 7.6(a):

(i)            the Claim Amount, Threshold and Cap limitations do not apply to claims under [***];

(ii)           the Cap limitations do not apply to claims under [***];

(iii)          the Claim Amount, Threshold and Cap limitations do not apply to claims under [***]; and

(iv)          the Claim Amount, Threshold and Cap limitations shall not apply to claims for [***].

(c)           [***].  However, this subparagraph does not limit the right of the Indemnified Parties to obtain indemnity from the Indemnifying Parties to the extent that Third-Party Claims, for which the Indemnified Parties are otherwise entitled to indemnity under this Article 7, have been resolved by Judgment, settlement or other obligation to pay any of the types of damages listed in the preceding sentence.

(d)           Subject to the other terms and limitations set forth herein (including Section 7.6(h)), [***].

(e)           (i)            [***].

                (ii)           [***].

(f)            The Sellers shall not be liable in respect of any Losses under Section 7.1(a) for any matters resulting from a change of accounting policy or practice or the length of any accounting period adopted by the Purchasers with respect to the Acquired Companies after the Closing, that is applicable to periods prior to the Closing, unless such changes are adopted to comply with any requirement of applicable law which was not being properly complied with by the Acquired Companies on or prior to the Closing.

(g)           The Sellers shall not be liable in respect of any claim for Losses if and to the extent that (i) the Losses relating thereto have been recovered under any other claim, or (ii) such Losses are reflected as Liabilities in the calculation of the [***] pursuant to Section 2.4 (regardless of whether such calculation actually resulted in a reduction of the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.4(g)).  For purposes of clarification, Section 7.6(g)(i) shall limit the Purchaser Indemnified Parties to a single

[***] = Confidential Treatment requested for redacted portion; redacted portion has been filed separately with the Commission.

42

recovery for each of their respective Losses, but shall not limit the number or nature of the claims the Purchaser Indemnified Parties may make to recover such Losses.

(h)           Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement limits the Liability of a party to another party for fraud or willful misconduct committed by such party.

Section 7.7             Satisfaction of Indemnification Claims Against Sellers.

(a)           [***].  For the avoidance of doubt (including for purposes of Section 7.5), this Section 7.7 controls only the means by which indemnification claims will be satisfied by the Sellers, and does not affect any Purchaser Indemnified Party’s right to bring an indemnification claim, and provide a Claim Notice, at any time otherwise in accordance with this Article 7.

(b)           To the extent any such indemnification obligations of the Sellers for any Losses exceed any remaining funds in the Escrow Fund, [***].

(c)           Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 7.7 or Schedule C, if the Purchaser Indemnified Parties have provided one or more Claim Notices prior to the due date for payment of the Earnout Amount (if any) in accordance with the terms of Schedule C (the “Scheduled Earnout Payment Date”) and there has not been an Indemnity Final Determination with respect to one or more such Claim Notices prior to the Scheduled Earnout Payment Date, then only the Released Earnout Amount (if any) will be paid to the Earnout Participants in accordance with Schedule C.  For purposes of this Section 7.7, the “Released Earnout Amount” means that portion of the Earnout Amount (if any) determined in accordance with Schedule C, which is in excess of the sum of (i) the aggregate amounts claimed in all unresolved or unsatisfied Claim Notice(s) (such aggregated amounts so claimed, together, the “Disputed Amount”), and (ii) all Losses that may be set off by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties against the Earnout Amount under Section 7.7(a) and (b) above (with respect to all Claim Notice(s) for which there has been an Indemnity Final Determination prior to the Scheduled Earnout Date).  The Disputed Amount (if any) will be retained by the Share Purchaser from the Scheduled Earnout Payment Date until the applicable unresolved or unsatisfied Claim Notice(s) are settled or resolved in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in which case the Disputed Amount (or any part thereof the subject of the Claim Notice in question) shall be paid to the Earnout Participants or used to satisfy the indemnification obligations of the Sellers, as so settled or resolved, in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.7(a) and (b) above.

(d)           Other than as set forth in this Article 7, no party shall be entitled to set off any amount or right it may be entitled to pursuant to this Agreement against any amount, right or obligations owned to any other party pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, including any Earnout Amount owing to the Earnout Participants under this Agreement.

(e)           Any indemnification amounts required to be made by the Sellers under this Article 7 shall (subject to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties’ right of set off against the Earnout Amount (if any) described in this Section 7.7) be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds from the Sellers to an account or accounts designated by the Purchasers.

Section 7.8             No Right of Indemnification or Contribution by Seller.   No Seller has any right of indemnification or contribution against any Acquired Company with respect to any breach by the Sellers of any of their representations, warranties, covenants or agreements in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, whether by virtue of any contractual or statutory right of indemnity or otherwise, and all claims to the contrary are hereby waived and released.

Section 7.9             Exercise of Remedies by Purchaser Indemnified Parties other than the Purchaser.   No Purchaser Indemnified Party (other than the Purchasers or any successor or assignee of the Purchasers) is entitled to assert any indemnification claim or exercise any other remedy under this Agreement in its capacity as a Purchaser Indemnified Party unless the Purchasers (or any successor or assignee of the Purchasers) consents to the assertion of the indemnification claim or the exercise of any other remedy.

ARTICLE 8

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 8.1             Seller Representative.

(a)           By virtue of their execution of this Agreement, each Seller and each Option Holder designates and appoints [***] (the “Seller Representative”) as such Seller’s or such Option Holder’s agent and attorney-in-fact with full power and authority to act for and on behalf of each Seller and each Option Holder to give and receive notices and communications, to accept service of process on behalf of the Sellers and the Option Holders pursuant to Section 7.4 and Section 8.12, to authorize and agree to adjustments to the Initial Purchase Price under Section 2.4 and other applicable provisions of this Agreement, to authorize payments from the Escrow Fund and the separate escrow fund referred to in Section 5.1, to agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and comply with Judgments of courts or other Governmental Authorities and awards of arbitrators, with respect to, any claims by any Purchaser Indemnified Party against any Seller or Option Holder or by any Seller or Option Holder against any Purchaser Indemnified Party, or any other dispute between any Purchaser Indemnified Party and any Seller or Option Holder, in each case relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to take all actions that are either (i) necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Seller Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing or (ii) specifically mandated by the terms of this Agreement.  Notices or communications to or from the Seller Representative constitute notice to or from each of the Sellers and Option Holders for all purposes under this Agreement.

(b)           The Seller Representative may delegate its authority as Seller Representative to any one of the Sellers for a fixed or indeterminate period of time upon not less than five business days’ prior written notice to the Purchaser in accordance with Section 8.2.  In the event of the death or incapacity of the Seller Representative, a successor Seller Representative will be elected promptly by the Sellers whose interests aggregate not less than a majority of the Initial Purchase Price and the Sellers will so notify the Purchaser.  Each successor Seller Representative has all of the power, authority, rights and privileges conferred by this Agreement upon the original Seller Representative, and the term “Seller Representative” as used in this Agreement includes any successor Seller Representative.

(c)           A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Seller Representative constitutes a decision of all the Sellers and is final, binding and conclusive upon the Sellers, and the Purchasers and any Indemnified Party may rely upon any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Seller Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of the Sellers.  The Purchasers are hereby relieved from any Liability to any Person for any acts done or omissions by the Purchasers in accordance with such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Seller Representative.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Purchasers are entitled to rely, without inquiry, upon any document delivered by the Seller Representative as being genuine and correct and having been duly signed or sent by the Seller Representative.  The Purchasers will have no liability to any Seller with respect to any portion of the Purchaser Price the Purchasers pay to the Seller Representative in accordance with this Agreement.

[***] = Confidential Treatment requested for redacted portion; redacted portion has been filed separately with the Commission.

44

(d)           The Seller Representative will have no Liability to any Person for any act done or omitted under this Agreement as the Seller Representative while acting in good faith and not in a manner constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct, and any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel will be conclusive evidence of such good faith.  The Sellers will severally indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Representative from and against any Losses the Seller Representative may suffer as a result of any such action or omission.

(e)           The Seller Representative will receive no compensation for services as the Seller Representative.  The Sellers will reimburse, on a pro rata basis in proportion to their respective portions of the Initial Purchase Price payable as set forth on Schedules A and B, the Seller Representative for professional fees and expenses of any attorney, accountant or other advisors retained by the Seller Representative and other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Seller Representative in connection with the performance of the Seller Representative’s duties under this Agreement.

(f)            This appointment and grant of power and authority by the Sellers to the Seller Representative pursuant to this Section 8.1 is coupled with an interest, is in consideration of the mutual covenants made in this Agreement, is irrevocable and may not be terminated by the act of any Seller or by operation of Law, whether upon the death or incapacity of any Seller, or by the occurrence of any other event.

Section 8.2             Notices.  All notices and other communications under this Agreement must be in writing and are deemed duly delivered when (a) delivered if delivered personally or the next business day after being sent, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service (costs prepaid), (b) sent by facsimile with confirmation of transmission by the transmitting equipment (or, the first business day following such transmission if the date of transmission is not a business day) or (c) received or rejected by the addressee, if sent by certified mail, return receipt requested; in each case to the following addresses or facsimile numbers and marked to the attention of the individual (by name or title) designated below (or to such other address, facsimile number or individual as a party may designate by notice to the other parties):

Section 8.3             Amendment.  This Agreement may not be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in a written document signed by each party to be bound by the amendment and that identifies itself as an amendment to this Agreement.  Any amendment of this Agreement signed by the Sellers representing a majority of the outstanding Shares immediately prior to Closing (such calculation of outstanding Shares to assume the effect of conversion of the Convertible Debt and exercise of the Parity Option) is binding upon and effective against each Seller regardless of whether or not such Seller has in fact signed such amendment.

Section 8.4             Waiver and Remedies.    The rights and remedies of the parties to this Agreement are cumulative and not alternative.  Neither any failure nor any delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or any of the documents referred to in this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) no claim or right arising out of this Agreement or any of the documents referred to in this Agreement can be discharged by one party, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in a written document signed by the other party, (b) no waiver that may be given by a party will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given, and (c) no notice to or demand on one party will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of that party or of the right of the party giving such notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement.

Section 8.5             Entire Agreement.  This Agreement (including the Schedules and Exhibits hereto and the documents and instruments referred to in this Agreement that are to be delivered at the Closing) constitutes the entire agreement among the parties and supersedes any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties, or any of them, written or oral, with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

Section 8.6             Assignment and Successors.  This Agreement binds and benefits the parties and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and permitted assigns, except that no Seller may assign any rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Purchasers.  No party may delegate any performance of its obligations under this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchasers may assign this Agreement and their rights and benefits hereunder and may delegate its duties hereunder to one or more of their respective Affiliates; provided, that all of the following conditions are met:  (1) such Affiliate or Affiliates will assume all obligations and liabilities so assigned;

[***] = Confidential Treatment requested for redacted portion; redacted portion has been filed separately with the Commission.

46

and (2) each of Priceline US and the Share Purchaser (or the Share Purchaser’s successors) remains fully responsible for the performance of the obligations hereunder.  Nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any Person, other than the parties to this Agreement, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement except such rights as may inure to a successor or permitted assignee under this Section 8.6.

Section 8.7             Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.  To the extent permitted by Law, each party to this Agreement hereby waives any provision of law that renders any such provision prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.

Section 8.8             Exhibits and Schedules.  The Exhibits and Schedules to this Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and made a part of this Agreement.  The Seller Disclosure Schedule and the Purchaser Disclosure Schedule are arranged in sections and paragraphs corresponding to the numbered and lettered sections and paragraphs of Article 3 and Article 4, as applicable.  The disclosure in any section or paragraph of the Seller Disclosure Schedule or the Purchaser Disclosure Schedule qualifies other sections and paragraphs in this Agreement only to the extent it is reasonably apparent that such disclosure is applicable to such other sections and paragraphs.  The listing or inclusion of a copy of a document or other item is not adequate to disclose an exception to any representation or warranty in this Agreement unless the representation or warranty relates to the existence of the document or item itself.

Section 8.9             Interpretation.  The language used in this Agreement is the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no provision of this Agreement will be interpreted for or against any party because that party or its attorney drafted the provision.  The parties have had adequate opportunity to receive independent legal advice with respect to the advisability of executing this Agreement, to make such investigation of the facts pertaining to this Agreement and of all matters to which this Agreement refers as he, she or it deems necessary, and to read this Agreement and understand its contents and the parties’ respective rights and obligations hereunder.

Section 8.10           Governing Law.  Unless any Exhibit or Schedule specifies a different choice of law, the internal laws of the State of New York (without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of laws of any other jurisdiction) govern all matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement and its Exhibits and Schedules and all of the transactions it contemplates, including its validity, interpretation, construction, performance and enforcement and any disputes or controversies arising therefrom.

Section 8.11           Specific Performance.  The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached.  The parties accordingly agree that, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity, the parties are entitled to injunctive relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and otherwise to enforce specifically the provisions of this Agreement.  Each party expressly waives any requirement that any other party obtain any bond or provide any indemnity in connection with any action seeking injunctive relief or specific enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 8.12           Jurisdiction and Service of Process.  Any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement must be brought in the courts of the State of New York, County of New York, or, if it has or can acquire jurisdiction, in the

▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ for the Southern District of New York.  Each of the parties knowingly, voluntarily and irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of each such court in any such action or proceeding and waives any objection it may now or hereafter have to venue or to convenience of forum.  Any party to this Agreement may make service on another party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the party to be served at the address and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 8.2.  Nothing in this Section 8.12, however, affects the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law.

Section 8.13           Waiver of Jury Trial.  EACH OF THE PARTIES KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT IN NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 8.14           Counterparts.  The parties may execute this Agreement in multiple counterparts, each of which constitutes an original as against the party that signed it, and all of which together constitute one agreement.  This Agreement is effective upon delivery of one executed counterpart from each party to the other parties.  The signatures of all parties need not appear on the same counterpart.  The delivery of signed counterparts by facsimile or email transmission that includes a copy of the sending party’s signature is as effective as signing and delivering the counterpart in person.
