The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company) will have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company acts as Paying Agent, it will segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Company, the Trustee will serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.

All Global Notes will be exchanged by the Company for Definitive Notes if:

(1) the Company delivers to the Trustee notice from the Depositary that it is unwilling or unable to continue to act as Depositary or that it is no longer a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 120 days after the date of such notice from the Depositary;

(2) the Company in its sole discretion determines that the Global Notes (in whole but not in part) should be exchanged for Definitive Notes and delivers a written notice to such effect to the Trustee; provided that in no event shall the Regulation S Temporary Global Note be exchanged by the Company for Definitive Notes prior to (A) the expiration of the Restricted Period and (B) the receipt by the Registrar of any certificates required pursuant to Rule 903(b)(3)(ii)(B) under the Securities Act.

Beneficial interests in Global Notes may be exchanged in whole or in part for Definitive Notes upon request of the Holders if there has occurred and is continuing an Event of Default with respect to the Notes.

Upon the occurrence of either of the events in clauses (1) or (2) of this Section 2.06(a), Definitive Notes shall be issued in such names as the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee.

The Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Note, a member of, or a participant in, DTC or other Person with respect to the accuracy of the records of DTC or its nominee or of any participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the Notes or with respect to the delivery to any participant, member, beneficial owner or other Person (other than DTC) of any notice (including any notice of redemption or purchase) or the payment of any amount or delivery of any Notes (or other security or property) under or with respect to such Notes. All notices and communications to be given to the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders in respect of the Notes shall be given or made only to or upon the order of the registered Holders (which shall be DTC or its nominee in the case of a Global Note). The rights of beneficial owners in any Global Note shall be exercised only through DTC subject to the applicable rules and procedures of DTC. The Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by DTC with respect to its members, participants and any beneficial owners.

(11) In connection with any proposed transfer or exchange of Definitive Notes, the Holder that is the transferor of the Note and the Company, to the extent that the information is reasonably available to the Company, shall use commercially reasonably efforts to provide the Trustee with all information as is reasonably requested by the Trustee and necessary to allow the Trustee to comply with any applicable tax reporting obligations, including without limitation any cost basis reporting obligations under Section 6045 of the Code. The Trustee may rely on information provided to it and shall have no responsibility to verify or ensure the accuracy of such information.

Section 2.07 Replacement Notes.

If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Company and the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Company will issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate a replacement note if the Trustee’s requirements are met. An indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced. The Company may charge for its expenses in replacing a Note, including Trustee’s expenses.

 

59


Every replacement note is an additional obligation of the Company and will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

Section 2.08 Outstanding Notes.

The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note; however, Notes held by the Company or an Affiliate of the Company shall not be deemed to be outstanding for purposes of Section 3.07(a) hereof.

If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser.

If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.

If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a Redemption Date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes will be deemed to be no longer outstanding and will cease to accrue interest.

Section 2.09 Treasury Notes.

In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company or any Guarantor, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any Guarantor, will be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee will be protected in conclusively relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned will be so disregarded.

Section 2.10 Temporary Notes.

Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, will authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes will be substantially in the form of certificated Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as may be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Company will prepare and the Trustee will authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes.

Holders of temporary Notes will be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture.

Section 2.11 Cancellation.

The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent will forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else will cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and will dispose of canceled Notes (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act) in accordance with its customary procedures. Certification of the disposition of all canceled Notes will be delivered to the Company upon its written request. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.12 Defaulted Interest.

If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it will pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Company will notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment. The Company will fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment date; provided that no such special record date may be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Company (or, upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company) will mail or cause to be mailed to Holders a notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

Section 2.13 CUSIP Numbers and ISINs.

The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers and ISINs (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers and ISINs in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that the Trustee shall have no liability for any defect in the “CUSIP” numbers or ISINs as they appear on any Note, notice or elsewhere, and, provided further that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers or ISINs.

If any Notes are listed on an exchange, and the rules of such exchange so require, the Company will notify the exchange of any such notice of redemption. In addition, the Company will notify the exchange of the principal amount of any Notes outstanding following any partial redemption of Notes.

In the event of partial redemption or purchase by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed or purchased will be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption or purchase date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption or purchase.

The Trustee will promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes selected for redemption or purchase and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption or purchase, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed or purchased. Notes and portions of Notes selected will be in amounts of $2,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder shall be redeemed or purchased. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption or purchase also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption or purchase.

Section 3.03 Notice of Redemption.

Subject to the provisions of Section 3.09 hereof, at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a Redemption Date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Articles 8 or 12 hereof.

If the Company complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption. If a Note is redeemed on or after an interest record date but on or prior to the related interest payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at the close of business on such record date. If any Note called for redemption is not so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption date until such principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof.

Section 3.09 Offer to Purchase by Application of Excess Proceeds.

In the event that, pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof, the Company is required to commence an offer to all Holders to purchase Notes (an “Asset Sale Offer”), it will follow the procedures specified below.

 

65


The Asset Sale Offer shall be made to all Holders and if required by the terms of any Indebtedness that is pari passu in right of payment with the Notes (“Pari Passu Indebtedness”) to the Holders of such Pari Passu Indebtedness. The Asset Sale Offer will remain open for a period of at least 20 Business Days following its commencement and not more than 30 Business Days, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Offer Period”). No later than three Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the “Purchase Date”), the Company will apply all Excess Proceeds (the “Offer Amount”) to the purchase of Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness (on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount of Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness surrendered, if applicable) or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes and other Indebtedness tendered in response to the Asset Sale Offer. Payment for any Notes so purchased will be made in the same manner as interest payments are made.

If the Purchase Date is on or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be paid to the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no additional interest will be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer.

Upon the commencement of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company will send, by first class mail, a notice to the Trustee and each of the Holders, with a copy to the Trustee. The notice will contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer. The notice, which will govern the terms of the Asset Sale Offer, will state:

(1) that the Asset Sale Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 3.09 and Section 4.10 hereof and the length of time the Asset Sale Offer will remain open;

(2) the Offer Amount, the purchase price and the Purchase Date;

(3) that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment will continue to accrue interest;

(4) that, unless the Company defaults in making such payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer will cease to accrue interest after the Purchase Date;

(5) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer may elect to have Notes purchased in denominations of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof;

(6) that Holders electing to have Notes purchased pursuant to any Asset Sale Offer will be required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes completed, or transfer by book-entry transfer, to the Company, a Depositary, if appointed by the Company, or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice at least three days before the Purchase Date;

(7) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Company, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than the expiration of the Offer Period, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Note purchased;

 

66


(8) that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness surrendered by holders thereof exceeds the Offer Amount, the Company will select the Notes and Pari Passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the principal amount of Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness surrendered (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company so that only Notes in denominations of $2,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, will be purchased); and

(9) that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or transferred by book-entry transfer).

On or before the Purchase Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Offer Amount of Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer, or if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered, and will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate stating that such Notes or portions thereof were accepted for payment by the Company in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.09. The Company, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, will promptly (but in any case not later than five days after the Purchase Date) mail or deliver to each tendering Holder an amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes tendered by such Holder and accepted by the Company for purchase, and the Company will promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon written request from the Company, will authenticate and mail or deliver (or cause to be transferred by book entry) such new Note to such Holder, in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the Company to the Holder thereof. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Asset Sale Offer on the Purchase Date.

Other than as specifically provided in this Section 3.09, any purchase pursuant to this Section 3.09 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 through 3.06 hereof.

(28) all premiums (if any), interest (including post-petition interest), fees, expenses, charges and additional or contingent interest on obligations described in clauses (1) through (27) of this Section 4.09(b).

(c) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 4.09:

(1) in the event that an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock described in clauses (1) through (28) of Section 4.09(b) hereof, the Company, in its sole discretion, will classify or reclassify such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) and will only be required to include the amount and type of such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock in one of the clauses of Section 4.09(b); and

(2) at the time of incurrence or reclassification, the Company will be entitled to divide and classify or reclassify an item of Indebtedness in more than one of the types of Indebtedness described in Section 4.09(a) and Section 4.09(b) hereof.

Accrual of interest or dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount and the payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as the case may be, of the same class will not be deemed to be an incurrence or issuance of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock for purposes of this Section 4.09.

For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed (i) the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced plus (ii) the aggregate amount of fees, underwriting discounts, premiums and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with such refinancing.

 

85


The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

The Company, Sabre Financing and the Sabre Foreign Guarantors will not, directly or indirectly, incur any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) that is subordinated or junior in right of payment to any Indebtedness of the Company, Sabre Financing or a Sabre Foreign Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Guarantee to the extent and in the same manner as such Indebtedness is subordinated to other Indebtedness of the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be. This Indenture will not treat (1) unsecured Indebtedness as subordinated or junior to Secured Indebtedness merely because it is unsecured or (2) Indebtedness as subordinated or junior to any other Indebtedness merely because it has a junior priority with respect to the same Collateral.

Section 4.10 Asset Sales.

(a) Subject to the Specified Asset Sale Limitation (as defined in clause (c)(1) of this Section 4.10), from and after the Issue Date, Sabre Financing, the Company and the Sabre Foreign Guarantors will not, and will not permit any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale, unless:

(1) the applicable Restricted Party receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value (such fair market value to be determined in good faith by the Company, including its board of directors (or a similar governing body) if such fair market value is in excess of $75,000,000, at the time of contractually agreeing to such Asset Sale) of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of; and

(2) except in the case of a Permitted Asset Swap, at least 75% of the consideration therefor received by the applicable Restricted Party is in the form of Cash Equivalents; provided that the amount of:

(A) any liabilities (as shown on the applicable Restricted Party’s most recent balance sheet or in the footnotes thereto) of the applicable Restricted Party, other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes or that are owed to the applicable Restricted Party, that (x) are assumed by the transferee of any such assets or (y) are otherwise cancelled or terminated in connection with the transaction with such transferee (other than intercompany debt owed to the applicable Restricted Party) and, in each case, for which the applicable Restricted Party has been validly released by all creditors in writing,

(B) any securities, notes or other obligations or assets received by the applicable Restricted Party from such transferee that are converted by the applicable Restricted Party into Cash Equivalents (to the extent of the Cash Equivalents received) within 180 days following the closing of such Asset Sale,

(C) Indebtedness of any Restricted Party that ceases to be a Restricted Party as a result of such Asset Sale (other than intercompany debt owed to the Company or another Restricted Party), to the extent that the Restricted Parties are released from any guarantee of payment of the principal amount of such Indebtedness in connection with such Asset Sale, and

 

86


(D) any (i) Designated Non-Cash Consideration received by the applicable Restricted Party in such Asset Sale having an aggregate fair market value, as determined by the Company in good faith, taken together with all other Designated Non-Cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (D)(i) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed 2.5% of Total Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-Cash Consideration or (ii) any Investment (not constituting a Permitted Asset Swap) received by the applicable Restricted Party that is treated by the Company as a Restricted Payment under Section 4.07(a) or Section 4.07(b) hereof or a Permitted Investment under clause (8), (13) or (26) of the definition thereof, with the fair market value of each such item of Designated Non-Cash Consideration, Restricted Payment or Permitted Investment being measured pursuant to this clause (D) at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value, shall be deemed to be Cash Equivalents for purposes of this provision and for no other purpose.

(b) Within 450 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale, the applicable Restricted Party, at its option, may apply the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale:

(1) to permanently reduce Indebtedness of a Restricted Party that is not a Guarantor, other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or another Restricted Party;

(2) to make Restricted Payments to any of its Affiliates (a) in the ordinary course of its business, (b) in connection with intercompany cash management or similar arrangements or (c) in connection with any Permitted Reorganization;

(3) to make (a) an Investment in any one or more businesses; provided that such Investment in any business is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock that results in a Restricted Party owning an amount of the Capital Stock of such business such that it constitutes a Restricted Party or increases the Restricted Parties’ direct or indirect percentage ownership of the Capital Stock of a Restricted Party, (b) capital expenditures or (c) acquisitions of other assets, in the case of each of (a), (b) and (c), used or useful in a Similar Business; provided that the assets (including Capital Stock) acquired with the Net Proceeds of a disposition of Collateral are pledged as Collateral to the extent required under the Security Documents; or

(4) to make an Investment in (a) any one or more businesses; provided that such Investment in any business is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock that results in the applicable Restricted Party owning an amount of the Capital Stock of such business such that it constitutes a Restricted Party or increases the Restricted Parties’ direct or indirect percentage ownership of the Capital Stock of a Restricted Party, (b) properties or (c) acquisitions of other assets that, in the case of each of (a), (b) and (c), replace the businesses, properties or assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale; provided that the assets (including Capital Stock) acquired with the Net Proceeds of a disposition of

 

87


Collateral are pledged as Collateral to the extent required under the Security Documents; provided that, in the case of clauses (2) and (3) above, a binding commitment entered into not later than such 450th day shall extend the period for such Investment or other payment for an additional 180 days after the end of such 450-day period so long as the applicable Restricted Party enters into such commitment with the good faith expectation that such Net Proceeds will be applied to satisfy such commitment within 180 days of such commitment (an “Acceptable Commitment”) and, in the event any Acceptable Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before the Net Proceeds are applied in connection therewith, the applicable Restricted Party enters into another Acceptable Commitment (a “Second Commitment”) within such 180-day period.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing:

(1) the Restricted Parties may not consummate any Asset Sale that would result in the sale of assets (in the aggregate since the Issue Date) contributing in excess of 17.5% of EBITDA of the Restricted Group (measured at the time of the consummation of any Asset Sale) to Persons that are not Affiliates of Sabre (the “Specified Asset Sale Limitation”). The Specified Asset Sale Limitation shall not apply to any Permitted Asset Swap or any Asset Sale the proceeds of which are initially reinvested in the Restricted Group; and

(2) to the extent that the terms of any Indebtedness of Sabre GLBL requires that such Indebtedness be prepaid with the Net Proceeds of Asset Sales, the Restricted Parties shall be entitled to distribute the Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale so required to prepay such Indebtedness to Sabre GLBL, which Net Proceeds shall promptly be used to repay such other Indebtedness.

(d) If and to the extent the Intercompany Loan requires Sabre GLBL to offer to prepay any loans thereunder, the Company shall make an offer to all Holders of the Notes (an “Asset Sale Offer”), to purchase the maximum aggregate principal amount of the Notes that is in an amount equal to at least $2,000 that may be purchased with such Excess Proceeds (as defined in the Intercompany Loan) at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof (or accreted value thereof, if less), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture and the Intercompany Loan. The Company will commence an Asset Sale Offer with respect to such Excess Proceeds within two Business Days after the date that the corresponding offer is required to be commenced under the Intercompany Loan by delivering the notice required pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, with a copy to the Trustee. The Company may satisfy the foregoing obligations by making an Asset Sale Offer with respect to such Net Proceeds prior to the expiration of the relevant period.

(e) Upon completion of any such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds that resulted in the Asset Sale Offer shall be reset to zero.

 

88


(f) Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds pursuant to this covenant, the applicable Restricted Party may apply such Net Proceeds temporarily to reduce Indebtedness outstanding under a revolving credit facility or otherwise use or invest such Net Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by this Indenture. The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Indenture by virtue of such compliance.

The provisions under this Indenture relative to the Company’s obligation to make an offer to repurchase the Notes as a result of an Asset Sale may be waived or modified with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

Sabre Financing, the Company and the Sabre Foreign Guarantors need only perform their obligations under this Section 4.16 if it is not unlawful for each relevant person to become a Guarantor and each person becoming a Guarantor would not result in personal liability for that person’s directors or other management.

This includes agreeing to a limit on the amount guaranteed.

Section 6.02 Acceleration.

In the case of an Event of Default specified in clause (8) or (9) of Section 6.01 hereof, with respect to Sabre Financing, the Company, the Sabre Foreign Guarantors or any of their respective Significant Subsidiaries (or any group of Restricted Parties that together (determined as of the most recent consolidated financial statements of Sabre Holdings for a fiscal quarter end provided as required under Section 4.03 hereof) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary), all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Upon the effectiveness of such declaration, the Notes shall become due and payable immediately. The Trustee shall have no obligation to accelerate the Notes if, in the best judgment of the Trustee, acceleration is not in the best interest of the Holders of the Notes.

 

100


The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default and its consequences under this Indenture (except a continuing Default in the payment of interest on, premium, if any, or the principal of any Note held by a non-consenting Holder) and rescind any acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences (except if such rescission would conflict with any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction). In the event of any Event of Default specified in clause (4) of Section 6.01 hereof, such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding any resulting payment default, other than as a result of acceleration of the Notes) shall be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the Holders, if within 20 days after such Event of Default arose:

(1) the Indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged; or

(2) holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default; or

(3) the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured.

Section 6.03 Other Remedies.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, and is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Indenture.

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

Section 6.04 Waiver of Past Defaults.

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on, the Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase); provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

 

101


Section 6.05 Control by Majority.

Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or Collateral Agent or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee and Collateral Agent may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes (it being understood that the Trustee has no duty to determine whether any action is prejudicial to any Holder) or that would involve the Trustee or Collateral Agent in personal liability.

Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits.

Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no Holder of a Note may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Notes unless:

(1) such Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing;

(2) Holders of at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(3) Holders of at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of then outstanding Notes have offered, and if requested, provided, the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any fees, costs, damages, losses, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses);

(4) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt thereof and the offer or provision of security or indemnity; and

(5) Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a written direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.

A Holder of a Note may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a Note or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a Note (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearance are prejudicial to any Holder).

Section 6.07 Rights of Holders of Notes to Receive Payment.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder; provided that a Holder shall not have the right to institute any such suit for the enforcement of payment if and to the extent that the institution or prosecution thereof or the entry of judgment therein would, under applicable law, result in the surrender, impairment, waiver or loss of the Lien of this Indenture upon any property subject to such Lien.

 

102


Section 6.08 Collection Suit by Trustee.

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2) hereof occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal of, premium on, if any, and interest, if any, remaining unpaid on the Notes and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

Section 6.09 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, their agents and counsel) and the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee or the Collateral Agent under Section 7.06 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee or the Collateral Agent under Section 7.06 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 6.10 Priorities.

Third: to the Company or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of Notes pursuant to this Section 6.10.

Section 6.11 Undertaking for Costs.

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on, any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as it determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Notes.

Section 7.06 Compensation and Indemnity.

(a) The Company will pay to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent from time to time such compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder and under the Notes, Guarantees and Security Documents, as applicable, as mutually agreed to in writing.

The Company will reimburse each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses will include the reasonable compensation, court costs, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s and the Collateral Agent’s agents and counsel.

The Trustee and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, will notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to so notify the Company will not relieve the Company or any of the Guarantors of their obligations hereunder. The Company or such Guarantor will defend the claim and the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, will cooperate in the defense. Each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent may have separate counsel of its choosing and the Company will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. Neither the Company nor any Guarantor need pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

 

107

(d) To secure the Company’s and the Guarantors’ payment obligations in this Section 7.06, the Trustee will have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on, particular Notes. Such Lien will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

(e) When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in clause (8) or (9) of Section 6.01 hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

Section 7.07 Replacement of Trustee.

(a) A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee will become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.07.

(b) The Trustee may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may, upon 30 days advance written notice, remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing. The Company may remove the Trustee if:

(1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.09 hereof;

(2) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;

(3) a custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or

(4) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

(c) If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Company will promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.

(d) If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company, or the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction at the expense of the Company for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

 

108


(e) If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.09 hereof, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

(f) A successor Trustee will deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee will become effective, and the successor Trustee will have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee will mail a notice of its succession to Holders. The retiring Trustee will promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.06 hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.07, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.06 hereof will continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. The retiring Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability for the action or inaction of any successor Trustee.

Section 7.08 Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.

If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, sells or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation or entity, the successor corporation or entity without any further act will be the successor Trustee.

Section 7.09 Eligibility; Disqualification.

There will at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation or other entity organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.

Section 7.10 Intercompany Loan Agreement; Holder Direction Rights

(a) Subject to the terms of this Indenture, including Sections 7.02(f) and 7.06, the Holders shall have the right, through the Trustee, to cause notices, requests, consents, waivers, amendments, elections, directions, declarations, accelerations, rescissions of acceleration and other analogous actions and communications (collectively, the “Intercompany Actions”) to be delivered to, from and with the Administrative Agent under the Intercompany Loan, and to instruct the Trustee to take or refrain from taking Intercompany Actions on behalf of the Holders, in each case as provided in this Section 7.10.

(b) As among the Holders, each Holder shall be entitled to give directions to the Trustee with respect to Intercompany Actions in a voting amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Notes held by such Holder and then outstanding. Any Intercompany Action that, under the Intercompany Loan, would require or permit the consent, direction, vote, request or other action of “Lenders” (as defined therein) shall be authorized and effected hereunder if, and only if, the Trustee has received written directions from Holders representing not less than the same proportion (by principal amount) of Notes then outstanding as the proportion (by commitments, loans or other measure) of “Lenders” required under the Intercompany Loan to approve the analogous action; provided that, if the Intercompany Loan does not specify a required percentage for the analogous

 

109


action, the requisite Holder direction shall be the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding. For the avoidance of doubt, where the Intercompany Loan requires the consent of all affected “Lenders” or of each “Lender” (or similar unanimity), the Trustee shall act only upon directions from each Holder (or from all affected Holders, as applicable) of the Notes then outstanding.

(c) The Trustee shall, upon receipt of written directions from the Holders in the requisite proportion pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 7.10, deliver to and receive from the Administrative Agent under the Intercompany Loan any notices, consents, waivers, amendments, elections, declarations or other communications relating to the Intercompany Loan, and shall transmit the same to the Administrative Agent under the Intercompany Loan or to the Holders, as applicable. The Trustee shall have no duty to prepare, originate or independently determine to send any such communication absent directions and indemnity as provided in this Indenture.

(d) Subject to clause (b) and to the limitations in this Indenture, the Trustee is authorized to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent under the Intercompany Loan any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of the Intercompany Loan that has been approved by the Holders in the requisite proportion, and to bind the Holders in respect thereof to the same extent as “Lenders” would be bound under the Intercompany Loan by the analogous action.

(e) To the extent the Intercompany Loan permits or requires “Lenders” to declare, accelerate, rescind or waive acceleration of obligations thereunder, to make or withdraw notices of default or event of default, or to deliver declarations or elections of rights or remedies, the Trustee shall deliver such declarations, notices, accelerations, rescissions or elections as, and only as, directed by the Holders in the requisite proportion determined in accordance with clause (b).

(f) The Trustee shall not be obligated to take any Intercompany Action unless (i) it has received written directions from the requisite Holders, (ii) it has received such documents, instruments and opinions as the Trustee may reasonably request, including an Officer’s Certificate and, if applicable, an Opinion of Counsel, and (iii) it has been provided security or indemnity satisfactory to it for any loss, liability or expense. The Trustee may conclusively rely upon and shall be fully protected in acting in accordance with any direction, notice, consent or other instrument that it reasonably believes to be genuine and signed by the requisite Holders. The Trustee shall have no duty to inquire into or monitor compliance by any Person with the Intercompany Loan, nor to determine whether any Intercompany Action is permitted thereby, and shall not be liable for any action or inaction taken in good faith in accordance with directions received hereunder.

(g) This Section 7.10 shall survive any satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture to the extent necessary to give effect to any Intercompany Action duly authorized prior thereto.

Section 7.11 Security Documents

By their acceptance of the Notes, the Holders hereby authorize and direct the Trustee and Collateral Agent, as the case may be, to execute and deliver any other Security Documents in which the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, is named as a party, including any Security Documents executed after the Issue Date. It is hereby expressly acknowledged and agreed

 

110


that, in doing so, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent are (a) expressly authorized to make the representations attributed to Holders in any such agreements and (b) not responsible for the terms or contents of such agreements, or for the validity or enforceability thereof, or the sufficiency thereof for any purpose. Whether or not so expressly stated therein, in entering into, or taking (or forbearing from) any action under, any Security Document, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent each shall have all of the rights, privileges, immunities, indemnities and other protections granted to it under this Indenture (in addition to those that may be granted to it under the terms of such other agreement or agreements).

ARTICLE 8

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

Section 8.01 Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

The Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 8.

Section 8.02 Legal Defeasance and Discharge.

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company and each of the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes (including the Guarantees) on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company and the Guarantors will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes (including the Guarantees), which will thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (1) and (4) below, and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Notes, the Guarantees and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute such instruments requested by the Company acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:

(1) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to in Section 8.04 hereof;

(2) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Article 2 and Section 4.02 hereof;

(3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith; and

(4) this Article 8.

Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03 hereof.

 

111


Section 8.03 Covenant Defeasance.

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company and each of the Guarantors will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be released from each of their obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.05, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.15, 4.16, 4.17 and 5.01 hereof and Article 10 hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes will thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but will continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes will not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes and Guarantees, the Company and the Guarantors may omit to comply with and will have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and Guarantees will be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(3), (4), (5), (6) and (7) hereof will not constitute Events of Default.

Section 8.04 Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof:

(1) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, U.S. dollar-denominated Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm, or firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, on and interest, if any, on the outstanding Notes on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable Redemption Date, as the case may be, and the Company must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to such stated date for payment or to a particular Redemption Date;

(2) in the case of an election under Section 8.02 hereof, the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions:

(A) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the United States Internal Revenue Service a ruling; or

(B) since the issuance of the Notes, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law,

 

112


in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as applicable, as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

(3) in the case of an election under Section 8.03 hereof, the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

(4) no Default (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be applied to make such deposit and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith) shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit;

(5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which, the Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Guarantor is bound (other than that resulting from any borrowing of funds to be applied to make the deposit required to effect such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness, and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith);

(6) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion and subject to customary assumptions and exclusions following the deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of Section 547 of Title 11 of the United States Code;

(7) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Company or any Guarantor or others; and

(8) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions) each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, have been complied with.

 

113


Section 8.05 Deposited Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

Subject to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes will be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

The Company will pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or Government Securities deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes.

Notwithstanding anything in this Article 8 to the contrary, the Trustee will deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any money or Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(1) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

Section 8.06 Repayment to Company.

Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company (subject to applicable escheatment laws) on its request or (if then held by the Company) will be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note will thereafter be permitted to look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, will thereupon cease.

Section 8.07 Reinstatement.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any U.S. dollars or Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture and the Notes and the Guarantees will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on, any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company will be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

 

114


ARTICLE 9

AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER

Section 9.01 Without Consent of Holders of Notes.

Notwithstanding Section 9.02 of this Indenture, the Company, any Guarantor (with respect to a Guarantee, this Indenture, or the Security Documents to which it is a party) and the Trustee (or the Collateral Agent, as applicable) may amend or supplement this Indenture or any Guarantee, Note, or the Security Documents without the consent of any Holder:

(1) to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency;

(2) to provide for uncertificated Notes of such series in addition to or in place of certificated Notes;

(3) to comply with Section 5.01 hereof;

(4) to provide for the assumption of the Company’s or any Guarantor’s obligations to the Holders;

(6) to add covenants for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Company or any Guarantor;

(7) to evidence and provide for the acceptance and appointment under this Indenture of a successor Trustee or successor Collateral Agent hereunder pursuant to the requirements hereof;

(8) [reserved];

(9) to add a Guarantor under this Indenture, or the Security Documents;

(10) to conform the text of this Indenture, Guarantees, the Security Documents or the Notes to any provision of the “Description of Notes” section of the Company’s Offering Memorandum dated November 20, 2025, relating to the offering of the Notes, to the extent that such provision in the “Description of Notes” was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of this Indenture, Guarantees, the Security Documents or the Notes as set forth in an Officer’s Certificate;

(11) to make any amendment to the provisions of this Indenture relating to the transfer and legending of Notes, including, without limitation to facilitate the issuance and administration of the Notes and to comply with applicable securities laws;

 

115

(14) [reserved].

Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its board of directors authorizing the execution of any such amendment or supplement, and upon receipt by the Trustee and Collateral Agent, if applicable, of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee and Collateral Agent, if applicable, will join with the Company and the Guarantors in the execution of any amendment or supplement authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent will be obligated to enter into such amendment or supplement that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture, the Security Documents or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the case of the execution and delivery of any supplemental indenture, the sole purpose of which is to add one or more Guarantors (substantially in the form of Exhibit D) and/or address matters that are ancillary or incidental thereto, (i) the Guarantors that are Guarantors at the time of the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture need not be a party to such supplemental indenture and (ii) no Opinion of Counsel or board resolution shall be required in connection therewith.

Section 9.02 With Consent of Holders of Notes.

Except as provided in this Section 9.02, the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent may amend or supplement this Indenture (including, without limitation, Section 3.09, 4.10 and 4.15 hereof) and the Notes, the Guarantees and the Security Documents with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on, the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes or the Guarantees or the Security Documents may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes voting as a single class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes). Section 2.08 hereof shall determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for purposes of this Section 9.02.

 

116


Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its board of directors authorizing the execution of any such amendment or supplement, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, if applicable, of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, if applicable, will join with the Company and the Guarantors in the execution of such amendment or supplement unless such amendment or supplement affects the Trustee’s or the Collateral Agent’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture, the Security Documents or otherwise, in which case the Trustee and Collateral Agent, as applicable, may in its discretion, but will not be obligated to, enter into such amendment or supplement.

It is not necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it is sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.

After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company will mail to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, will not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver. Except as provided in this Section 9.02, and subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding voting as a single class may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Company or any Guarantor with any provision of this Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantees or the Security Documents. However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):

(1) reduce the principal amount of such Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

(2) reduce the principal of or change the fixed final maturity of any such Note or alter or waive the provisions with respect to the redemption of such Notes (except as provided above with respect to Sections 3.09, 4.10 and 4.15 hereof);

(3) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Note;

(4) waive a Default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration, or in respect of a covenant or provision contained in this Indenture or any Guarantee which cannot be amended or modified without the consent of all Holders;

(5) make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Notes;

(6) make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders to receive payments of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Notes;

 

117


(7) make any change in these amendment and waiver provisions;

(8) impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on such Holder’s Notes on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Notes;

(9) make any change to, or modification of, the ranking of the Notes that would adversely affect the Holders; or

(10) except as expressly permitted by this Indenture, modify the Guarantees of Sabre Financing or any Sabre Foreign Guarantors in any manner materially adverse to the Holders of the Notes.

In addition, without the consent of each Holder of the Notes adversely affected thereby, an amendment, supplement or waiver may not modify any Security Document or the provisions of this Indenture dealing with the Security Documents or application of trust moneys in any manner, in each case, that would subordinate the Lien of the Collateral Agent with respect to all or substantially all of the value of the Collateral to the Liens securing any other Obligations constituting third-party Indebtedness for borrowed money (other than as contemplated under clause (13) under Section 9.01 or if such adversely affected Holder of the Notes is offered the opportunity to participate on a pro rata basis (excluding any bona fide market backstop fees and fees and expenses of counsel) in such other Indebtedness) or otherwise release all or substantially all of the Collateral, in each case other than in accordance with this Indenture and the Security Documents.

As provided in the Intercompany Loan, without the consent of (a) the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes, the Company and the Guarantors may not amend, supplement, modify or waive the provisions of the Intercompany Loan and the Loan Documents (as defined in the Intercompany Loan) and the related security agreements, or subordinate the liens regarding or release collateral securing the Intercompany Loan, that requires the consent of the holders of at least a majority of the loans thereunder and (b) each Holder of Notes then outstanding, including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes, the Company and the Guarantors may not amend, supplement or waive the provisions of the Intercompany Loan and the Loan Documents (as defined in the Intercompany Loan) and the related security agreements, or subordinate the lien regarding or release collateral securing the Intercompany Loan, that requires the consent of the each holder of the loans thereunder.

Section 9.03 Revocation and Effect of Consents.

Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.

 

118


Section 9.04 Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.

Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note will not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

Section 9.05 Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc.

The Trustee and Collateral Agent, if applicable, will sign any amendment or supplement authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent. The Company may not sign an amendment or supplement until the board of directors of the Company approves it. In executing any amendment or supplement, the Trustee and Collateral Agent, if applicable, shall receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) will be fully protected in conclusively relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 13.03 hereof, an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions) stating that the execution of such amendment or supplement is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such amendment or supplement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company and the Guarantors enforceable against them in accordance with its terms; provided that, no Opinion of Counsel under this Section 9.05 or Section 13.03 shall be required in connection with a supplemental indenture to add Guarantors (substantially in the form of Exhibit D) and/or address matters that are ancillary or incidental thereto.

ARTICLE 10

COLLATERAL AND SECURITY

The Company and the Guarantors will take, and will cause their respective Subsidiaries to take any and all actions reasonably required to cause the Security Documents to create and maintain, as security for the Obligations, a valid and enforceable perfected first priority Lien (subject to Permitted Liens) in and on all the Collateral, in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of itself, the Trustee and the Holders of Notes, superior to and prior to the rights of all third Persons (other than holders of Permitted Liens) and subject to no other Liens than Permitted Liens, in each case, subject to the Agreed Guarantee and Security Principles, foreign legal reservations, perfection requirements, customary exceptions and the exceptions and limitations set forth in this Indenture and the Security Documents (including Excluded Assets).

(b) neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor shall be required to create or perfect a security interest in any asset to the extent the creation or perfection of a security interest in such asset would (i) be prohibited under any applicable law, after giving effect to any applicable anti-assignment provision of the UCC or other applicable law and other than proceeds thereof to the extent that the assignment of such proceeds is effective under the UCC or other applicable law notwithstanding

 

120


such applicable law and/or (ii) require any governmental consent, approval, license or authorization (unless such consent, approval, license or authorization has been obtained), after giving effect to any applicable anti-assignment provision of the UCC or other applicable law and other than proceeds thereof to the extent that the assignment of such proceeds is effective under the UCC or other applicable law notwithstanding such consent or restriction,

(c) any joinder or supplement to the Indenture, any Security Document, any intercreditor agreement and/or other document executed by any Restricted Party that is required to become a Guarantor may include such amendments as may be necessary to qualify any representation or warranty set forth in any such document to the extent necessary to ensure that such representation or warranty is true and correct to the extent required thereby or by the terms of any other such document and

(d) (i) none of the Issuer nor any Guarantor will be required to take any action required under the Federal Assignment of Claims Act or any similar law and (ii) no Person with a security interest in the Collateral will be permitted to exercise any right of setoff in respect of any account maintained solely for the purpose of receiving and holding government receivables.

Section 10.03 After-Acquired Property.

The Company and the Guarantors shall grant to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of itself, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes, a senior lien on assets or property (other than LC Assets) acquired by the Company or a Guarantor after the Issue Date, which would have constituted Collateral had such assets and property been owned by the Company or such Guarantor on the Issue Date, subject to certain exceptions provided in the Security Documents and subject to the Agreed Guarantee and Security Principles, in each case, solely to the extent required by the Security Documents.

Section 10.04 Release of Collateral.

(a) Liens securing the Notes will be released in certain circumstances as provided for in the Security Documents and upon the receipt of an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel certifying that all conditions precedent under this Indenture have been met, including under the following circumstances:

(1) upon payment in full of principal, interest and all other Obligations on the Notes issued under this Indenture or upon Legal Defeasance, Covenant Defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture in accordance with Article 12 hereof;

(2) upon release of a Guarantee (with respect to the Liens securing such Guarantee granted by such Guarantor); or

(3) in connection with any disposition of Collateral to any Person other than the Company or any Guarantor (but excluding any transaction subject to Section 5.01(a)) that is not prohibited by this Indenture (with respect to the Lien on such Collateral).

 

121


(b) Each of these releases shall be effected by the Collateral Agent without the consent of the Holders. Upon receipt of such Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, the Collateral Agent shall execute, deliver or acknowledge any instruments of termination, satisfaction or release requested by the Company to evidence the release of any Collateral permitted to be released pursuant to this Indenture or the Security Documents. Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall have any liability to any Person for any release delivered in reliance on the Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel delivered to it.

(c) At any time when a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the maturity of the Notes has been accelerated (whether by declaration or otherwise) and the Trustee has delivered a notice of acceleration to the Collateral Agent, no release of Collateral pursuant to the provisions of the Security Documents will be effective as against the Holders of Notes.

(d) None of the Restricted Parties is permitted to assert that any security interest in the Collateral is not a valid and perfected security interest or to take any action, or knowingly or negligently omit to take any action, which action or omission would have the result of impairing the security interest with respect to a material portion of the Collateral. The release of any Collateral from the terms of this Indenture and the Security Documents will not be deemed to impair the security under this Indenture in contravention of the provisions hereof if and to the extent the Collateral is released pursuant to the terms of the Security Documents thereof.

Section 10.05 Authorization of Actions to Be Taken by the Trustee Under the Security Documents.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01 and 7.02 hereof, the Trustee may, in its sole discretion and without the consent of the Holders of Notes, direct, on behalf of the Holders of Notes, the Collateral Agent to, take all actions it deems necessary or appropriate in order to:

(1) enforce any of the terms of the Security Documents; and

(2) collect and receive any and all amounts payable in respect of the Obligations of the Company hereunder.

The Trustee will have power to institute and maintain such suits and proceedings as it may deem expedient to prevent any impairment of the Collateral by any acts that may be unlawful or in violation of the Security Documents or this Indenture, and such suits and proceedings as the Trustee may deem expedient to preserve or protect its interests and the interests of the Holders of Notes in the Collateral (including power to institute and maintain suits or proceedings to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislative or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid if the enforcement of, or compliance with, such enactment, rule or order would impair the security interest hereunder or be prejudicial to the interests of the Holders of Notes, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent).

(b) The Trustee or the Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action but not omission to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct (it being understood that the Collateral Agent has no duty to, and shall have no liability for any failure to, perfect, maintain the

 

122


perfection of or enforce any security interest), for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of the Company to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral. Without limiting the foregoing, neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall have responsibility for recording, filing, re-recording or refiling any financing statement, continuation statement, amendment, document, instrument or other notice in any public office at any time or times or to otherwise take any action to perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest granted to it under the Security Documents relating to the Notes or otherwise.

(c) Where any provision of the Security Documents relating to the Notes requires that additional property or assets be provided as Collateral, the Company shall, or shall cause the applicable Guarantors to, take any and all actions reasonably required to cause such additional property or assets to be provided as Collateral and to create and perfect a valid and enforceable first-priority security interest in such property or assets (subject to Permitted Liens and other exceptions in the Security Documents relating to the Notes) in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of itself, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes in accordance with and to the extent required under the Security Documents relating to the Notes.

(d) The Trustee, in giving any consent or approval under this Indenture or the Security Documents relating to the Notes, shall (unless it otherwise agrees) receive, as a condition to such consent or approval, an Officer’s Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions) or both to the effect that the action or omission for which consent or approval is to be given does not violate this Indenture or the Security Documents relating to the Notes, and the Trustee shall be fully protected in giving such consent or approval on the basis of such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

Section 10.06 Authorization of Receipt of Funds by the Trustee Under the Security Documents.

The Trustee is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of the Holders of Notes distributed under the Security Documents, and to make further distributions of such funds to the Holders of Notes according to the provisions of this Indenture.

Section 10.07 Termination of Security Interest.

Upon the full and final payment and performance of all Obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Notes or upon Legal Defeasance, Covenant Defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture in accordance with Article 12 hereof, the Trustee will, at the request of the Company and upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, deliver a certificate to the Collateral Agent stating that such Obligations have been paid in full, and instruct the Collateral Agent to release the Liens pursuant to this Indenture and the Security Documents.

Section 10.08 The Collateral Agent

(a) The Company and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes hereby designates and appoints the Collateral Agent as its agent under this Indenture and the Security Documents, and the Company and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Indenture and the Security Documents, and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Indenture and the Security Documents, and consents and agrees to the terms of each Security Document, as the same may be in effect or may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with their respective terms. The Collateral Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this Section 10.08. Each Holder agrees that any action taken by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Security Documents, and the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any rights or remedies set forth herein and therein shall be authorized and binding upon all Holders. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Indenture and the Security Documents, the duties of the Collateral Agent shall be ministerial and administrative in nature, and the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and in the Security Documents to which the Collateral Agent is a party, nor shall the Collateral Agent have or be deemed to have any trust or other fiduciary relationship with the Trustee, any Holder, the Company or any Guarantor, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Indenture and the Security Documents, or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Indenture with reference to the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

(b) The Collateral Agent may perform any of its duties under this Indenture and the Security Documents, by or through receivers, agents, employees, attorneys-in-fact or with respect to any specified Person, such Person’s Affiliates, and the respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors and attorneys-in-fact of such Person and its Affiliates (a “Related Person”), and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in taking action in reliance upon any advice or opinion given by legal counsel. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any receiver, agent, employee, attorney-in-fact or Related Person that it selects as long as such selection was made in good faith and with due care.

(c) The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, certification, telephone message, statement, or other communication, document or conversation (including those by telephone or e-mail) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent, or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Company or any other Guarantor), independent accountants and other experts and advisors selected by the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, judgment, order, bond, debenture, or other paper or document. The Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Indenture and the Security Documents, unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Trustee or the requisite Holders as it determines and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Holders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Indenture and the Security Documents, in accordance with a request, direction, instruction or consent of the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Holders.

 

124


(d) The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent shall have received written notice from the Trustee or the Company referring to this Indenture, describing such Default or Event of Default. The Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Trustee in accordance with Article VI or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes (subject to this Section 10.08).

(e) The Collateral Agent may resign at any time by 30 days’ written notice to the Trustee and the Company, such resignation to be effective upon the acceptance of a successor agent to its appointment as Collateral Agent. If the Collateral Agent resigns under this Indenture, the Company shall appoint a successor collateral agent acceptable to the Holders of a majority of aggregate principal amount of the Notes. If no successor collateral agent is appointed prior to the intended effective date of the resignation of the Collateral Agent (as stated in the notice of resignation), the Trustee, at the direction of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes, may appoint a successor collateral agent, subject to the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and which shall not be required during a continuing Event of Default). If no successor collateral agent is appointed and consented to by the Company pursuant to the preceding sentence within thirty (30) days after the intended effective date of resignation (as stated in the notice of resignation), the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor collateral agent hereunder, such successor collateral agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent, and the term “Collateral Agent” shall mean such successor collateral agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Collateral Agent shall be terminated. After the retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 10.08 (and Section 7.06 hereof) shall continue to inure to its benefit and the retiring Collateral Agent shall not by reason of such resignation be deemed to be released from liability as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Collateral Agent under this Indenture.

(f) Wilmington Trust, National Association shall initially act as Collateral Agent and shall be authorized to appoint co-collateral agents as necessary in its sole discretion. Except as otherwise explicitly provided herein or in the Security Documents, neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees or agents or other Related Persons shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The Collateral Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

125


(g) The Collateral Agent is each Holder’s agent for the purpose of perfecting the Holders’ security interest in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code, can be perfected only by possession. Should the Trustee obtain possession of any such Collateral, upon request from the Company, the Trustee shall notify the Collateral Agent thereof and promptly shall deliver such Collateral to the Collateral Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instructions.

(h) Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Trustee or any of the Holders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Company or any Guarantor or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Collateral Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, maintained or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to determine whether all or any of the Company’s or the Guarantor’s property constituting Collateral intended to be subject to the Lien and security interest of the Security Documents has been properly and completely listed or delivered, as the case may be, or the genuineness, validity, marketability or sufficiency thereof or title thereto, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure, or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities, and powers granted or available to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Indenture or any Security Document.

(i) No provision of this Indenture or any Security Document shall require the Collateral Agent (or the Trustee) to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or thereunder or to take or omit to take any action hereunder or thereunder or take any action at the request or direction of Holders (or the Trustee in the case of the Collateral Agent) unless it shall have received indemnity satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and the Trustee against potential costs and liabilities incurred by it relating thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture or the Security Documents, in the event the Collateral Agent is entitled or required to commence an action to foreclose or otherwise exercise its remedies to acquire control or possession of the Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to commence any such action or exercise any remedy or to inspect or conduct any studies of any property under the mortgages or take any such other action if the Collateral Agent has determined that the Collateral Agent may incur personal liability as a result of the presence at, or release on or from, the Collateral or such property, of any hazardous substances. The Collateral Agent shall at any time be entitled to cease taking any action described in this clause (i) if it no longer reasonably deems any indemnity, security or undertaking from the Company or the Holders to be sufficient.

(j) The Collateral Agent (i) shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection with this Indenture and the Security Documents or instrument referred to herein or therein, except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, (ii) shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Collateral Agent may agree in writing with the Company (and money held in trust by the Collateral Agent need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law) and (iii) may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice or opinion of such counsel as to matters of law shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any action taken, omitted or suffered by it in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel. The grant of permissive rights or powers to the Collateral Agent shall not be construed to impose duties to act.

 

126


(k) The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages (included but not limited to lost profits) whatsoever, even if it has been informed of the likelihood thereof and regardless of the form of action.

(l) The Collateral Agent does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by the Company or any other Guarantor under this Indenture and the Security Documents. Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall be responsible to the Holders or any other Person for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in this Indenture and the Security Documents, or in any certificate, report, statement, or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Indenture, or any Security Document; the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of any Security Documents of any other party thereto; the genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value, sufficiency, location or existence of any Collateral, or the validity, effectiveness, enforceability, sufficiency, extent, perfection or priority of any Lien therein; the validity, enforceability or collectability of any Notes Obligations; the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any obligor; or for any failure of any obligor to perform its Obligations under this Indenture and the Indenture Documents. The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to any Holder or any other Person to ascertain or inquire into the existence of any Default or Event of Default, the observance or performance by any obligor of any terms of this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercompany Loan, or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent contained in this Indenture and the Security Documents. The Collateral Agent shall not be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection or other proceeding under this Indenture and the Security Documents unless expressly set forth hereunder or thereunder. The Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time to seek instructions from the Holders with respect to the administration of this Indenture and the Security Documents.

(m) The parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall assume, be responsible for or otherwise be obligated for any liabilities, claims, causes of action, suits, losses, allegations, requests, demands, penalties, fines, settlements, damages (including foreseeable and unforeseeable), judgments, expenses and costs (including but not limited to, any remediation, corrective action, response, removal or remedial action, or investigation, operations and maintenance or monitoring costs, for personal injury or property damages, real or personal) of any kind whatsoever, pursuant to any environmental law as a result of this Indenture and the Security Documents or any actions taken pursuant hereto or thereto. Further, the parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that in the exercise of its rights under this Indenture and the Security Documents, the Collateral Agent may hold or obtain indicia of ownership primarily to protect the security interest of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral and that any such actions taken by the Collateral Agent shall not be construed as or otherwise constitute any participation in the management of such Collateral. In the event that the Collateral Agent or the Trustee is required to acquire title to an asset for any reason, or take any managerial action of any kind in regard thereto, in order to carry out any fiduciary or trust obligation for the benefit of another, which in either of the Collateral Agent or the Trustee’s sole discretion may cause the Collateral Agent or the Trustee, as applicable, to be considered an “owner

 

127


or operator” under the provisions of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), 42 U.S.C. § 9601, et seq., or otherwise cause the Collateral Agent or the Trustee to incur liability under CERCLA or any other federal, state or local law, each of the Collateral Agent and the Trustee reserves the right, instead of taking such action, to either resign as the Collateral Agent or the Trustee or arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court-appointed receiver. Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall be liable to the Company, the Guarantors or any other Person for any environmental claims or contribution actions under any federal, state or local law, rule or regulation by reason of either of the Collateral Agent’s or the Trustee’s actions and conduct as authorized, empowered and directed hereunder or relating to the discharge, release or threatened release of hazardous materials into the environment. If at any time it is necessary or advisable for property to be possessed, owned, operated or managed by any Person (including the Collateral Agent or the Trustee) other than the Company or the Guarantors, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes shall direct the Collateral Agent or the Trustee to appoint an appropriately qualified Person (excluding the Collateral Agent or the Trustee) who they shall designate to possess, own, operate or manage, as the case may be, the property.

(n) Each Holder, by acceptance of the Notes, agrees that the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver the Security Documents to which it is a party and all agreements, documents and instruments incidental thereto, and act in accordance with the terms thereof, binding the Holders to the terms thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to exercise any discretion under this Indenture or the Security Documents and shall not be required to make or give any determination, consent, approval, request or direction without the written direction of Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes. Whether or not expressly stated therein, in executing, delivering and performing under any Security Document, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to each of the rights, privileges, immunities and indemnities granted to it under this Indenture.

(o) After the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee, acting at the direction of Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes, may direct the Collateral Agent in connection with any action required or permitted by this Indenture or the Security Documents.

(p) In each case that the Collateral Agent may or is required hereunder or under any Security Document to take any action (an “Action”), including without limitation to make any determination, to give consents, to exercise rights, powers or remedies, to release or sell Collateral or otherwise to act hereunder or under any Security Document, the Collateral Agent may seek direction from Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes, accompanied by indemnity, if requested, satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable with respect to any Action taken or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with the direction from Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes. If the Collateral Agent shall request direction from Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes with respect to any Action, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such Action unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have received direction from Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes, accompanied by indemnity, if requested, satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, and the Collateral Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining.

 

128


(q) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or in any Security Document, in no event shall the Collateral Agent or the Trustee be responsible for, or have any duty or obligation with respect to, the recording, filing, registering, perfection, protection or maintenance of the security interests or Liens intended to be created by this Indenture or the Security Documents (including without limitation the filing or continuation of any UCC financing or continuation statements or similar documents or instruments), nor shall the Collateral Agent or the Trustee be responsible for, and neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee makes any representation regarding, the validity, effectiveness or priority of any of the Security Documents or the security interests or Liens intended to be created thereby.

(r) Before the Collateral Agent acts or refrains from acting in each case at the request or direction of the Company or the Guarantors, other than as set forth in this Indenture, it may require an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such certificate or opinion.

(s) The rights, privileges, benefits, immunities, indemnities and other protections given to the Trustee are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Collateral Agent under each Security Document, as if the Collateral Agent were named as the Trustee herein and the Security Documents were named as this Indenture herein. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to compensation, reimbursement and indemnity as set forth in Section 7.06.

Section 10.09 Australian Security Trustee

(b) It is acknowledged that the Collateral Agent when acting in its capacity as Australian security trustee shall have rights, protections, immunities, limits on liability and indemnities hereunder and under the Australian Security Documents.

Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture.

 

130


(c) If any Holder, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid by either to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, will be reinstated in full force and effect.

(d) Each Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 hereof for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee. The Guarantors will have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Note Guarantee.

Section 11.02 Limitation on Guarantor Liability.

To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount that will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 11, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

Notwithstanding the foregoing and any other provision of the Security Documents and the Purchase Agreement, the maximum liability of a Luxembourg Guarantor for the obligations of any other Guarantor, Sabre GLBL and/or the Company which is not a direct or indirect subsidiary of such Luxembourg Guarantor shall be limited at any time to a recovery not exceeding 95 per cent (95%) of such Luxembourg Guarantor’s net assets calculated as (x) the value of the assets of such Luxembourg Guarantor decreased by (y) any liabilities owed by that Luxembourg Guarantor to any third-party creditor (excluding, for the avoidance of any doubts, any liabilities owed by such Luxembourg Guarantor to any other member of the group to which it is a party) (the “Net Assets”).

The Net Assets value shall be determined as the highest of the calculations made on the basis of:

(a) the latest annual accounts of such Luxembourg Guarantor available as at the Closing Date; and

(b) the latest annual accounts of such Luxembourg Guarantor available as at the date on which a demand for payment is made in respect of this Indenture and the Security Documents entered into by the Luxembourg Guarantor.

Where, for the purpose of the above determinations, no duly established annual accounts are available for the relevant reference period (which, for the avoidance of doubt, includes a situation where, in respect of the determination to be made above, no final annual accounts have been established in due time in respect of the then most recently ended financial year), the relevant Luxembourg Guarantor shall, promptly establish unaudited interim accounts (as of the date of the end of the then most recent financial quarter) or annual accounts (as applicable) duly established in accordance with Luxembourg GAAP.

132


The above limitation shall not apply to any amounts borrowed by, or made available to, in any form whatsoever, the Luxembourg Guarantor or any of its direct or indirect present or future subsidiaries under any Security Document and/or this Indenture.

  (a)

a payment leading to a reduction of the assets required for the coverage of the total nominal capital or a repayment of capital as prohibited under Article 189 of the Polish Companies Code; and

 

  (b)

to the extent the obligations of a Polish Guarantor under this Indenture are considered a financial liability within the meaning of Article 11 section 2 of the Polish Insolvency Act, such obligations of a Polish Guarantor shall be limited to the extent required so that they do not result in the insolvency (niewypłacalność) of a Polish Guarantor within the meaning of Article 11 section 2 of the Polish Insolvency Act or in the insolvency within the meaning of Article 6 section 3 of the Polish Restructuring Act.

The limitation in limb (b) above will not apply if one or more of the following circumstances occurs:

  (iii)

Polish law is amended in such a manner that over-indebtedness (stan nadmiernego zadłużenia) as provided for in Article 11 section 2 of the Polish Insolvency Act (as in force on the date of this Agreement) no longer gives grounds for declaration of bankruptcy or obliges the representatives of the Polish Guarantor to file for bankruptcy.

Section 11.08 Execution and Delivery of Guarantee.

To evidence its Guarantee set forth in Section 11.01 hereof, each Guarantor hereby agrees that this Indenture or a supplemental indenture will be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by one of its Officers.

Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 11.01 hereof will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Note Guarantee.

 

133


If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture or on the Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which a Guarantee is endorsed, the Guarantee will be valid nevertheless.

The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, will constitute due delivery of the Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors.

If required by Section 4.17 hereof, the Company will cause such Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Section 4.17 hereof and this Article 11, to the extent applicable.

Section 11.09 Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.05 hereof, no Guarantor will, and the Restricted Parties will not permit any Guarantor to, consolidate, amalgamate or merge with or into or wind up into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its consolidated properties or assets taken as a whole, in one or more related transactions, to any Person (other than the Company or a Guarantor) unless:

(1) (a) such Guarantor is the surviving Person or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation, amalgamation or merger (if other than such Guarantor) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition will have been made is a Person organized or existing under (a) the laws of the jurisdiction of organization of such Guarantor, as applicable, or the laws of the United States, any state thereof, the District of Columbia, or any territory thereof or (b) other than in the case of Sabre Financial, the laws of (i) the same jurisdiction as such Guarantor, (ii) another jurisdiction in which a Guarantor has been formed or (iii) any other member country in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development or any political subdivision or governmental authority thereof, provided, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), such jurisdiction is being used for legitimate business or tax saving purposes and the use of such jurisdiction does not have a material adverse effect on the enforceability of the applicable Guarantee or Liens on Collateral of such Guarantor for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes (such surviving Guarantor or such Person, as the case may be, being herein called the “Successor Guarantor”);

(b) the Successor Guarantor, if other than such Guarantor, expressly assumes all the obligations of such Guarantor under this Indenture and such Guarantor’s related Guarantee pursuant to supplemental indentures or other documents or instruments;

(c) immediately after such transaction, no Default exists; and

(d) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger, amalgamation or transfer and such supplemental indentures, if any, comply with this Indenture; or

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Guarantor may (1) merge or consolidate with or into, wind up into or transfer all or part of its properties and assets to another Guarantor or the Company, (2) merge with an Affiliate of the Company solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Guarantor in the United States, any state thereof, the District of Columbia or any territory thereof or (3) convert into a corporation, partnership, limited partnership, limited liability corporation or trust organized or existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of organization of such Guarantor.

In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the Successor Guarantor, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Guarantee set forth in this Article 11 and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Guarantor, such Successor Guarantor will succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such Successor Guarantor thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee. All the Guarantees so issued will in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.

Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 hereof, and notwithstanding clauses 1(a) and (b) of this Section 11.04, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Notes will prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Company or another Guarantor, or will prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Company or another Guarantor.

Section 11.10 Releases.

Each Guarantee by a Sabre Foreign Guarantor will provide by its terms that it will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged under its Guarantee upon:

(b) such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under any other material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Guarantor is bound (in each case, other than resulting from any borrowing of funds to be applied to make such deposit and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith);

(c) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this Indenture and the Security Documents;

 

137


(d) the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or on the Redemption Date, as the case may be; and

In addition, the Company must deliver an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.

Section 12.02 Application of Trust Money.

Subject to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 12.01 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 12.01 hereof by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 12.01 hereof; provided that if the Company has made any payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on, any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

(1) INTEREST. Sabre Financial Borrower, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), promises to pay or cause to be paid interest on the principal amount of this Note at 11.125% per annum from December 5, 2025 until maturity. The Company will pay interest, if any, semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided that, if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided further that the first Interest Payment Date shall be June 15, 2026. If any interest payment date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the required payment will be made on the succeeding Business Day and no interest on such payment will accrue in respect of the delay. The Company will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at the then applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful; it will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest, if any (without regard to any applicable grace period), at the same rate to the extent lawful.

Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

(2) METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Company will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest), if any, to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on June 1 and December 1 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, at the office or agency of the Paying Agent and Registrar within the contiguous United States, or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest, if any, may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of, premium on, if any, and interest, if any, on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which will have provided wire transfer instructions to the Company or the Paying Agent. Such payment will be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

(3) PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, Wilmington Trust, National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change the Paying Agent or Registrar without prior notice to the Holders of the Notes. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.


(4) INDENTURE AND SECURITY DOCUMENTS. The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of December 5, 2025 (the “Indenture”) among the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Collateral Agent. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Notes are secured obligations of the Company. The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be issued thereunder.

(5) OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.

At any time prior to June 15, 2027, the Company may redeem all or a part of the Notes, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes redeemed, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.

At any time, in connection with any tender offer or other offer to purchase any series of Notes (including pursuant to a Change of Control Offer or Asset Sale Offer), if not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes of such series validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in such offer, all of the holders of such series of Notes will be deemed to have consented to such tender or other offer and accordingly, the Company or any third party purchasing or acquiring the Notes in lieu of the Company will have the right, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 60 days following such purchase, to redeem all Notes of such series that remain outstanding following such purchase at a price equal to the price paid to holders in such purchase, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such Notes to (but not including) the Redemption Date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date falling prior to or on the Redemption Date).

At any time and from time to time on or prior to June 15, 2027, the Company may redeem in the aggregate up to 40% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes with the net cash proceeds of one or more Subsequent Equity Offerings (1) by Sabre GLBL or (2) by any direct or indirect parent of Sabre GLBL to the extent the net cash proceeds thereof are contributed to the common equity capital of Sabre GLBL or used to purchase Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) (in each case, as defined in the Intercompany Loan) of Sabe GLBL from it, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount thereof) of 111.125%, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date); provided, however, that (1) at least 50% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes must remain outstanding after each such redemption; and (2) that such redemption shall occur within 180 days after the date on which any such Subsequent Equity Offering is consummated upon not less than ten nor more than 60 days’ notice mailed by first-class mail to each holder of Notes being redeemed and otherwise in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture.


Except pursuant to the three precedent paragraphs, the Notes will not be redeemable at the Company’s option prior to June 15, 2027.

On and after June 15, 2027, the Company may, at its option, on one or more occasions, redeem all or a portion of the Notes at redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the aggregate principal amount thereof) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes redeemed, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on June 15 of the years indicated below:

 

Year

   Percentage  

2027

     105.563

2028 and thereafter

     100.000

Any redemptions pursuant to this paragraph (5) shall be made pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture.

If the Company receives any voluntary or mandatory prepayment of principal under the Intercompany Loan, the Company shall retain such amount and promptly use such amount to redeem the maximum principal amount of Notes that can be redeemed with such amount (after taking into account accrued and unpaid interest and any applicable redemption premium required to be paid in connection therewith).

Notice of any redemption (including with net cash proceeds of a Subsequent Equity Offering) may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, without limitation, the consummation of an incurrence or issuance of debt or equity or a Change of Control. If any Notes are listed on an exchange, and the rules of such exchange so require, the Company will notify the exchange of any such notice of redemption. In addition, the Company will notify the exchange of the principal amount of any Notes outstanding following any partial redemption of Notes. If any condition precedent has not been satisfied, the Company shall provide written notice to the Trustee and Holders by 10 A.M., New York City time, on the Redemption Date, stating that such condition has not been satisfied, the notice of redemption is rescinded or delayed and the redemption shall not occur or shall be delayed.

(6) MANDATORY REDEMPTION. The Company is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

(7) REPURCHASE AT THE OPTION OF HOLDER.

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company will be required to make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to, but excluding, the date of purchase, subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company will mail a notice to each Holder setting forth the procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by the Indenture.


(b) (i) The Restricted Parties may not consummate any Asset Sale that would result in the sale of assets (in the aggregate since the Issue Date) contributing in excess of 17.5% of EBITDA of the Restricted Group (measured at the time of the consummation of any Asset Sale) to Persons that are not Affiliates of Sabre (the “Specified Asset Sale Limitation”). The Specified Asset Sale Limitation shall not apply to any Permitted Asset Swap or any Asset Sale the proceeds of which are initially reinvested in the Restricted Group; and (ii) to the extent that the terms of any Indebtedness of Sabre GLBL requires that such Indebtedness be prepaid with the Net Proceeds of Asset Sales, the Restricted Parties shall be entitled to distribute the Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale so required to prepay such Indebtedness to Sabre GLBL, which Net Proceeds shall promptly be used to repay such other Indebtedness.

If and to the extent the Intercompany Loan requires Sabre GLBL to offer to prepay any loans thereunder, the Company will make an Asset Sale Offer to all Holders of Notes to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness that is in an amount equal to at least $2,000 that may be purchased with such Excess Proceeds (as defined in the Intercompany Loan) at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof (or accreted value thereof, if less), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture and the Intercompany Loan.

If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company may use those Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes, subject to the other covenants contained in the Indenture. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero. Holders of Notes that are the subject of an offer to purchase will receive an Asset Sale Offer from the Company prior to any related purchase date and may elect to have such Notes purchased by completing the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes.

(8) NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. At least 10 days but not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address or otherwise sent in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a Redemption Date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture pursuant to Articles 8 or 12 thereof. Notes and portions of Notes selected will be in amounts of $2,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder shall be redeemed or purchased.


(9) DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The Notes are in registered form in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a record date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date.

(10) PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes. Only registered Holders have rights under the Indenture.

(11) AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantees or the Security Documents may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, and any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes or the Guarantees or the Security Documents may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. Without the consent of any Holder of Notes, the Indenture, the Notes, the Guarantees or the Security Documents may be amended or supplemented to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency, to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes, to provide for the assumption of the Company’s or a Guarantor’s obligations to Holders of the Notes and Guarantees by a successor to the Company or such Guarantor pursuant to the Indenture, to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes or that does not materially and adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any Holder, to conform the text of the Indenture, the Notes, or the Guarantees or the Security Documents to any provision of the “Description of Notes” section of the Company’s Offering Memorandum dated November 20, 2025, relating to the offering of the Notes, to the extent that such provision in that “Description of Notes” was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of the Indenture, the Notes, or the Guarantees or the Security Documents, which intent may be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate to that effect, to enter into additional or supplemental Security Documents, to release Collateral in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Security Documents, or to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture to the Indenture and/or a Guarantee with respect to the Notes.

(12) DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. The Indenture contains provisions for certain Events of Default with respect to this Note, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture. In the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to Sabre Holdings, the Company, any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of


Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 30% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of all the Holders of Notes, rescind an acceleration or waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its respective consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on, the Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase). The Company is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Company is required, within five Business Days of becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.

(13) TRUSTEE AND COLLATERAL AGENT DEALINGS WITH COMPANY. The Trustee and Collateral Agent, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee or Collateral Agent.

(14) NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner or stockholder of the Restricted Parties or any of their direct or indirect parent companies (other than the Restricted Parties), as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Restricted Parties under the Notes, the Indenture, the Guarantees or the Security Documents or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.

(15) AUTHENTICATION. This Note will not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.

(16) ABBREVIATIONS. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

(1) INTEREST. Sabre Financial Borrower, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), promises to pay or cause to be paid interest on the principal amount of this Note at 11.125% per annum from December 5, 2025 until maturity. The Company will pay interest, if any, semi annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided that, if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided further that the first Interest Payment Date shall be June 15, 2026. If any interest payment date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the required payment will be made on the succeeding Business Day and no interest on such payment will accrue in respect of the delay. The Company will pay interest (including post petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal at the then applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful; it will pay interest (including post petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest, if any (without regard to any applicable grace period), at the same rate to the extent lawful.

Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

(2) METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Company will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest), if any, to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on June 1 and December 1 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, at the office or agency of the Paying Agent and Registrar within the contiguous United States, or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest, if any, may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of, premium on, if any, and interest, if any, on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which will have provided wire transfer instructions to the Company or the Paying Agent. Such payment will be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

(3) PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, Wilmington Trust, National Association, the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change the Paying Agent or Registrar without prior notice to the Holders of the Notes. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.


(4) INDENTURE AND SECURITY DOCUMENTS. The Company issued the Notes under an Indenture dated as of December 5, 2025 (the “Indenture”) among the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Collateral Agent. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Notes are secured obligations of the Company. The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be issued thereunder.

(5) OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.

At any time prior to June 15, 2027, the Company may redeem all or a part of the Notes, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes redeemed, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date.

At any time, in connection with any tender offer or other offer to purchase any series of Notes (including pursuant to a Change of Control Offer or Asset Sale Offer), if not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes of such series validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in such offer, all of the holders of such series of Notes will be deemed to have consented to such tender or other offer and accordingly, the Company or any third party purchasing or acquiring the Notes in lieu of the Company will have the right, upon not less than 10 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 60 days following such purchase, to redeem all Notes of such series that remain outstanding following such purchase at a price equal to the price paid to holders in such purchase, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such Notes to (but not including) the Redemption Date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date falling prior to or on the Redemption Date).

At any time and from time to time on or prior to June 15, 2027, the Company may redeem in the aggregate up to 40% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes with the net cash proceeds of one or more Subsequent Equity Offerings (1) by Sabre GLBL or (2) by any direct or indirect parent of Sabre GLBL to the extent the net cash proceeds thereof are contributed to the common equity capital of Sabre GLBL or used to purchase Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) (in each case, as defined in the Intercompany Loan) of Sabe GLBL from it, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount thereof) of 111.125%, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date); provided, however, that (1) at least 50% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes must remain outstanding after each such redemption; and (2) that such redemption shall occur within 180 days after the date on which any such Subsequent Equity Offering is consummated upon not less than ten nor more than 60 days’ notice mailed by first-class mail to each holder of Notes being redeemed and otherwise in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture.


Except pursuant to the three precedent paragraphs, the Notes will not be redeemable at the Company’s option prior to June 15, 2027.

On and after June 15, 2027, the Company may, at its option, on one or more occasions, redeem all or a portion of the Notes at redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the aggregate principal amount thereof) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes redeemed, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on June 15 of the years indicated below:

 

Year

     105.563

2028 and thereafter

     100.000

Any redemptions pursuant to this paragraph (5) shall be made pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture.

If the Company receives any voluntary or mandatory prepayment of principal under the Intercompany Loan, the Company shall retain such amount and promptly use such amount to redeem the maximum principal amount of Notes that can be redeemed with such amount (after taking into account accrued and unpaid interest and any applicable redemption premium required to be paid in connection therewith).

Notice of any redemption (including with net cash proceeds of a Subsequent Equity Offering) may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, without limitation, the consummation of an incurrence or issuance of debt or equity or a Change of Control. If any Notes are listed on an exchange, and the rules of such exchange so require, the Company will notify the exchange of any such notice of redemption. In addition, the Company will notify the exchange of the principal amount of any Notes outstanding following any partial redemption of Notes. If any condition precedent has not been satisfied, the Company shall provide written notice to the Trustee and Holders by 10 A.M., New York City time, on the Redemption Date, stating that such condition has not been satisfied, the notice of redemption is rescinded or delayed and the redemption shall not occur or shall be delayed.

(6) MANDATORY REDEMPTION. The Company is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.

(7) REPURCHASE AT THE OPTION OF HOLDER.

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company will be required to make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of that Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes repurchased to, but excluding, the date of purchase, subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date (the “Change of Control Payment”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company will mail a notice to each Holder setting forth the procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by the Indenture.


(b) (i) The Restricted Parties may not consummate any Asset Sale that would result in the sale of assets (in the aggregate since the Issue Date) contributing in excess of 17.5% of EBITDA of the Restricted Group (measured at the time of the consummation of any Asset Sale) to Persons that are not Affiliates of Sabre (the “Specified Asset Sale Limitation”). The Specified Asset Sale Limitation shall not apply to any Permitted Asset Swap or any Asset Sale the proceeds of which are initially reinvested in the Restricted Group; and (ii) to the extent that the terms of any Indebtedness of Sabre GLBL requires that such Indebtedness be prepaid with the Net Proceeds of Asset Sales, the Restricted Parties shall be entitled to distribute the Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale so required to prepay such Indebtedness to Sabre GLBL, which Net Proceeds shall promptly be used to repay such other Indebtedness.

If and to the extent the Intercompany Loan requires Sabre GLBL to offer to prepay any loans thereunder, the Company will make an Asset Sale Offer to all Holders of Notes to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness that is in an amount equal to at least $2,000 that may be purchased with such Excess Proceeds (as defined in the Intercompany Loan) at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof (or accreted value thereof, if less), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture and the Intercompany Loan.

If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company may use those Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes, subject to the other covenants contained in the Indenture. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero. Holders of Notes that are the subject of an offer to purchase will receive an Asset Sale Offer from the Company prior to any related purchase date and may elect to have such Notes purchased by completing the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes.

(8) NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. At least 10 days but not more than 60 days before a Redemption Date, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address or otherwise sent in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a Redemption Date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture pursuant to Articles 8 or 12 thereof. Notes and portions of Notes selected will be in amounts of $2,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof; except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder shall be redeemed or purchased.


(9) DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The Notes are in registered form in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of Notes to be redeemed or during the period between a record date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date.

The Trustee may withhold from Holders of the Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default (except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any) if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Trustee may, on behalf of all the Holders of Notes, rescind an acceleration or waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its respective consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on, the Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase).

ANNEX A

Agreed Guarantee and Security Principles

 

1

Introduction

The guarantees and security required to be provided under the Indenture, the Notes and the Security Documents (together, the “Notes Documents”) will be given in accordance with the guarantee and security principles set out in this Annex A (the “Agreed Security Principles”). The parties agree that the scope and other terms of the guarantees and security proposed to be provided under the Notes Documents by any Sabre Foreign Guarantor shall be subject in all respects to the limitations and other provisions of this Annex A which shall be reflected in the limitations set out in the Notes Documents. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning given to such terms in the Indenture to which this Annex A is attached.

 

2

General principles

 

2.1

The Agreed Security Principles embody a recognition by all parties that there may be certain legal, practical and commercial difficulties in obtaining effective or commercially reasonable guarantees and/or security in respect of Collateral from all relevant Sabre Foreign Guarantor in each Guarantor Jurisdiction in which it has been agreed that guarantees and security will be granted. In particular (and without limitation):

 

  (a)

general legal and statutory limitations (including the guarantee limitation language set out in the Notes Documents with respect to the jurisdictions to which they refer), regulatory restrictions, financial assistance, anti-trust and other competition authority restrictions, corporate benefit laws, fraudulent preference, equitable subordination, foreign exchange laws or regulations (or analogous restrictions), transfer pricing or thin capitalization, earnings stripping, controlled foreign corporation and other tax restrictions, exchange control restrictions, capital maintenance rules and liquidity impairment rules, usury law provisions, no compounded interest rules, tax restrictions, retention of title claims, employee consultation or approval requirements and similar principles under any applicable law may preclude or limit the ability of a Sabre Foreign Guarantor to provide a guarantee or security or may require that the guarantee or Collateral be limited as to amount or otherwise and, if so, the guarantee or any relevant asset may be excluded or may be so limited; provided that it is acknowledged and agreed that each Sabre Foreign Guarantor is providing guarantees and security on an “upstream” basis and, other than in the case of Sabre Iceland ehf., that there are no preclusions from the provision of guarantees and security by the Sabre Foreign Guarantors incorporated in the Guarantor Jurisdictions and the terms of any contractual limitations in respect of the Sabre Foreign Guarantors incorporated in the Guarantor Jurisdictions have been substantially agreed between counsel to the Initial Purchasers and the Company prior to the date of the Indenture and the relevant Sabre Foreign Guarantor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to overcome any such obstacle that is reasonably capable of being overcome by the applicable Sabre Foreign Guarantor for a period of not more than twenty (20) Business Days and without incurring material cost if: (1) the Trustee (acting at the direction of Holders holding a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes) notifies the relevant Sabre Foreign Guarantor that such relevant Sabre Foreign Guarantor should seek to overcome such obstacle; and (2) the relevant Sabre Foreign Guarantor is satisfied that such endeavours would not reasonably be expected to adversely impact relationships with third parties (otherwise such guarantee or Security Document shall be subject to such obstacle in all respects);

 

  (b)

a key factor in determining whether or not a guarantee or security will be taken (and in respect of the Collateral, the extent of its scope, perfection and/or registration) is the applicable time and cost (including, without limitation, adverse effects on taxes, interest deductibility, stamp duty, registration taxes, registration fees, legal fees, notarial costs or any other fees, costs, commissions or expenses directly associated with the granting of the guarantee or security) which will not be disproportionate to the benefit accruing to the Holders of obtaining (or in respect of the security, performing any registration or other perfection of) such guarantee or security;

 

A-1


  (c)

no Sabre Foreign Guarantor will be required to give guarantees or enter into Security Documents if it is not within the legal capacity of, or otherwise contrary to its constitutional documents, of the relevant person or if it would conflict with the fiduciary or statutory duties of their directors, officers, employees or managers or contravene any applicable legal, regulatory or any enforceable contractual or corporate prohibition or restriction or have the potential to result in a risk of personal, civil or criminal liability for any director, manager or officer of or for any Sabre Foreign Guarantor (in each case after giving effect to guarantee limitation language in the relevant Notes Document) as determined in good faith by the Company or the Sabre Foreign Guarantor; provided that it is acknowledged and agreed that each Sabre Foreign Guarantor is providing guarantees and security on an “upstream” basis and that there are no such restrictions or prohibitions which would restrict, prevent or inhibit the Sabre Foreign Guarantors incorporated in the Guarantor Jurisdictions from the provision of guarantees and security and, in relation to a contractual prohibition or restriction only, the relevant person, director, manager or officer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to overcome any such obstacle (for a period of not more than ten (10) Business Days and without incurring material cost if: (1) the Trustee (acting at the direction of Holders holding a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes) notifies the relevant Sabre Foreign Guarantor that such relevant Sabre Foreign Guarantor should seek to overcome such obstacle; and (2) the relevant Sabre Foreign Guarantor is satisfied that such endeavours would not reasonably be expected to adversely impact relationships with third parties (otherwise such guarantee or security shall be subject to such prohibition or restriction);

 

  (d)

Security interests and Guarantees provided by the Sabre Foreign Guarantors and other will be subject to customary local-law limitations, including financial assistance, corporate benefit and similar restrictions, and to any specific limitations set forth in the applicable guaranty, including, where applicable, caps on liability based on net assets or similar tests. The Security Documents provide for extensions of time and exceptions where perfection cannot be achieved without undue burden or expense, and for post-closing deliveries and actions within specified time periods;

 

  (e)

any asset subject to a legal requirement, contract, lease, license, instrument, regulatory constraint (including, without limitation, any agreement with any government or regulatory body) or other third party arrangement, which may prevent or condition the asset from being subject to the applicable Security Document (including, without limitation, requiring a consent of any third party, supervisory board or works council (or equivalent or similar bodies)) and any asset where, if such asset were to be subject to the applicable Security Document, a third party would have the right to terminate or otherwise amend any rights, benefits and/or obligations of any Sabre Foreign Guarantor in respect of the asset or require any Sabre Foreign Guarantor to take any action materially adverse to the interests of the Sabre GLBL or such Sabre Foreign Guarantor, in each case will be excluded from any security and the applicable Security Document; provided that, in relation to a contractual prohibition or restriction only, commercially reasonable efforts (for a period of not more than ten (10) Business Days and without incurring material cost) to obtain consent to charging any asset (where otherwise prohibited) shall be used by the relevant Sabre Foreign Guarantor if: (1) the asset is material in the context of the business of the Sabre GLBL; and (2) the Sabre Foreign Guarantor is satisfied that such commercially reasonable efforts would not reasonably be expected to adversely impact relationships with third parties (otherwise no such consent shall be sought);

 

  (f)

the granting, registration or the perfection of security interests will not be required in a manner such that it would have a material adverse effect on the ability of the relevant Sabre Foreign Guarantor to conduct its operations and business in the ordinary course or as otherwise not prohibited by the Notes Documents (including dealing with the secured assets and all contractual counterparties or amending, waiving or terminating (or allowing to lapse) any rights, benefits or obligations, in each case prior to (i) the Trustee taking any

 

A-2


  of the actions or exercising any of the remedies set out in Section 6.02 (Acceleration) of the Indenture (an “Acceleration Event“) or (ii) the application or petition for, or commencement of, judicial reorganisation (réorganisation judiciaire) proceedings, pursuant to the Luxembourg law dated 7 August 2023 on business preservation and modernisation of the bankruptcy regime, against any Luxembourg Guarantor and any requirement under the Agreed Security Principles to seek consent of any person or take or not take any other action shall be subject to this paragraph (f);

 

  (g)

the maximum guaranteed and/or secured amount may be limited to minimize stamp duty, notarization, registration or other applicable fees, taxes and duties where the cost of increasing the guaranteed and/or secured amount is disproportionate in relation to the value afforded thereby, including the likely value of the asset in an enforcement process, taking into account the level of such taxes and duties;

 

  (h)

where a class of assets to be secured includes material and immaterial assets, if the cost of granting security over the immaterial assets is disproportionate to the benefit of such security, security will be granted over the material assets only;

 

  (i)

[Reserved];

 

  (j)

unless otherwise necessary under local law and so provided in the Notes Documents, there should be no action required to be taken in relation to the guarantees or security when any Holder assigns or transfers its Notes to a new Holder and no Sabre Foreign Guarantor shall bear or otherwise be liable for any taxes, any notarial, registration or perfection fees or any other costs, fees or expenses that result from any assignment or transfer by a Holder;

 

  (k)

to the extent legally effective, all guarantees and all security will be given in favour of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Holders, and not the Holders individually (with the Collateral Agent to hold one set of Security Documents for all the Holders); customary “parallel debt”, security trust and/or other customary security agency provisions (or equivalent mechanisms in the Guarantor Jurisdiction, including without limitation, security agency provisions that provide that the security will be granted to the Collateral Agent acting as direct representative of the Holders) will be used where necessary;

 

  (l)

subject to Section 9.1 below, no guarantees or security will be required from or over the shares or assets of any joint venture or similar arrangement;

 

  (m)

it is expressly acknowledged that it may be impossible, impractical or not financially worthwhile to the Company or a Guarantor to create security over certain types of asset and/or over certain categories of assets in which event security will not be taken over such assets;

 

  (n)

subject in all cases to the other provisions in these Agreed Security Principles, any Security Document will only be required to be notarized if required by applicable law in order for the relevant security interest to become enforceable or admissible in evidence, or if the Company determines that such action is advisable to permit enforcement or to establish or preserve its ranking;

 

  (o)

no title insurance will be required;

 

  (p)

no perfection, filing or other action will be required with respect to a type of Collateral not owned by the Company or a Guarantor;

 

  (q)

(A) to the extent that a valid and enforceable security interest having the requisite priority can be taken on substantially all of the intended Collateral in any Guarantor Jurisdiction on a generic basis without listing any individual assets, no specific listing shall be required (other than in relation to bank accounts, details of which may be listed as customary) and (B) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Security Documents shall not include

 

A-3


  or require a listing of any assets unless the absence of such listing would render the security interest therein invalid, unenforceable, subject to a greater risk of challenge or would otherwise result in the inability to perfect and/or enforce the security interest created thereunder;

 

  (r)

all guarantees and security shall also be limited by any other specific prohibitions or limitations of applicable local law as are customary as reasonably determined by the Company in good faith and set forth in the relevant Security Document;

 

  (s)

in no event shall control agreements (or perfection by control or similar arrangements) be required with respect to any assets (including deposit or securities accounts) (unless the Notes Documents expressly provide for any specific account (by reference to its purpose) to be subject to specific restrictions on use), for the avoidance of doubt, no deposit account control agreement in relation to its deposit accounts shall be delivered by any Sabre Foreign Guarantor organized under the laws of Australia; and

 

  (t)

unless otherwise expressly provided in these Agreed Security Principles, prior to an Acceleration Event, notices will not be required to be sent to contractual third parties unless required and customary under applicable local law to perfect, establish priority of or enforce a security interest in respect of receivables (including in respect of insurance and intercompany receivables), inventory, or bank accounts (but in no event shall acknowledgements, or similar, be required prior to an Acceleration Event (other than in respect of bank accounts to the extent such acknowledgement is required or customary under local law)).

 

2.2

Guarantees will only be provided by the Sabre Foreign Guarantors and security will be created over the shares (to the extent owned by another Guarantor) and all assets of the Sabre Foreign Guarantors.

 

2.3

Except as provided in this paragraph 2.3 or the Indenture, all Security Documents shall be governed by the law of the jurisdiction of incorporation of the applicable Sabre Foreign Guarantor and no action in relation to Collateral (including any perfection step, further assurance step, filing or registration) will be required in any other jurisdiction provided that security over the relevant material assets can validly be granted by such Security Documents. Security over the shares in any Sabre Foreign Guarantor shall be governed by the jurisdiction of the shares that are to be secured.

 

2.4

All guarantees shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, but for Sabre Foreign Guarantors all relevant local law corporate approvals (pre-approvals) for the issuance of guarantees and/or security will need to be obtained.

 

2.5

Subject to (or to the extent permitted by) applicable law, the terms of the Security Documents shall secure the Notes Obligations as such obligations (and/or the Indenture or other Notes Documents) may be amended, amended and restated, supplemented, replaced, renewed, restructured, extended, refunded, refinanced or otherwise modified from time to time (including, without limitation, where such transactions result in any increases or decreases of the principal amount of the secured obligations, any extensions of maturity, any changes in interest rates or other economic terms, or any changes in the secured parties, Holders, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent) so as to minimize the need for any additional Security Documents, amendments, reaffirmations or other actions with respect to such Security Documents in connection with the foregoing.

 

2.6

Subject to the guarantee limitations set out in the Notes Documents and these Agreed Security Principles, each guarantee will be an upstream, cross-stream or downstream guarantee for all Notes Obligations in accordance with, and subject to, the requirements of the Agreed Security Principles in each Guarantor Jurisdiction. Security Documents will secure the guarantee obligations of the relevant grantor of such security or, if such security is provided on a third-party basis, all Notes Obligations, in each case in accordance with, and subject to, local law

 

A-4


  requirements and the requirements, specific guarantee limitations applicable thereto of these Agreed Security Principles, in each Guarantor Jurisdiction and shall not impose any obligation more onerous than those contained in the Indenture (subject to these Agreed Security Principles).

 

2.7

Guarantees and security granted by the Sabre Foreign Guarantors shall, to the extent possible under relevant local law, be enforceable only following an Acceleration Event which is continuing, in case of application or petition for, or commencement of, judicial reorganisation (réorganisation judiciaire) proceedings, pursuant to the Luxembourg law dated 7 August 2023 on business preservation and modernisation of the bankruptcy regime, against any Luxembourg Guarantors, or, in relation to guarantees, following non-payment of any amount under the Notes Documents in accordance with the terms thereof.

 

2.8

There shall be no rights for any Holder to exercise a power of attorney until the occurrence of an Acceleration Event or a failure by the relevant Sabre Foreign Guarantor to perform any further assurance, registration or perfection obligation under or relating to the Notes Documents within five Business Days of written notice from the Trustee or the Collateral Agent requiring such action.

 

3

Terms of Security Documents and Guarantees

 

3.1

The Security Documents shall not operate so as to prevent transactions which are permitted under the Indenture and shall not require additional consents or authorisations from the Holders and, in particular, shall permit disposals of assets where such disposal is permitted under the Indenture and will include authorisation for the Collateral Agent to do all things necessary or reasonably requested to release security in respect of the Collateral the subject of such disposal.

 

3.2

Unless required by local law, the circumstances in which the Collateral shall be released should not be dealt with in individual Security Documents but, if so required, shall provide that Collateral will be released in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Indenture, and such release shall be automatic, without prejudice to any actions that may be necessary under local law to effect or evidence such release and, where appropriate, shall entail a simultaneous release of any contractual obligations related to the released Collateral.

 

3.3

The Security Documents shall not contain representations, warranties, undertakings or other provisions to the extent similar or substantially equivalent warranties or undertakings are included in the Indenture, except to the extent expressly required by local law to create, preserve enforce or perfect such security and are the same (and no more onerous than) any equivalent provisions contained in the Indenture unless agreed that it is market in any jurisdiction to do so.

 

3.4

The Security Documents should only operate to create security rather than to impose new commercial obligations. Accordingly, they will not contain additional representations or undertakings (such as in respect of insurance, further security, information or the payment of costs) unless these are required for the creation or perfection of the security or are market standard in the Guarantor Jurisdiction unless agreed that it is market in any jurisdiction to do so.

 

3.5

Subject to any permitted security, the Security Documents will be first ranking over the Collateral.

 

3.6

The Security Documents will, where possible and practical, automatically create security over future assets of the same type as those already secured. Where local law or pledge registries require supplemental pledges or notices to be delivered in respect of future acquired assets in order for effective security to be created and/or perfected over that specific future asset, the Notes Documents may require such supplemental pledges or notices to be provided to the extent necessary for the creation, priority, perfection, or validity of security over the relevant Collateral.

 

3.7

Whenever a Security Document or these Agreed Security Principles require the performance of any action on a certain date or within a certain time period, such date or time period may be extended by the Trustee or Collateral Agent (in each case acting at the direction of Holders holding a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes).

 

A-5


3.8

Any reference in a Security Document or guarantee to an action that is permitted pursuant to the terms of the Indenture shall be deemed to include any action that is not prohibited pursuant to the terms of the Indenture.

 

3.9

If any Security Document, pursuant to these Agreed Security Principles, restricts any Sabre Foreign Guarantor’s ability to be free to deal with any of its Collateral in the course of its business upon the occurrence of an Acceleration Event, such Sabre Foreign Guarantor may continue to deal with such Collateral (or portion thereof) in the course of its business if permitted by the Indenture.

 

3.10

Where appropriate and legally possible, defined terms in the Security Documents and guarantees should mirror those in the Indenture or be defined by reference thereto.

 

4

Scope of Collateral

 

4.1

Subject to any other provision of these Agreed Security Principles (or as otherwise agreed by the Company and the Trustee (acting at the direction of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes)), all assets of the Sabre Foreign Guarantors will be subject to the Security Documents, with limitations as may be agreed between the Company and the Trustee (acting at the direction of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes).

 

4.2

Save to the extent it can be covered by a floating charge, general security grant or equivalent security interest, no security shall be provided over any real estate or plant and machinery of a Sabre Foreign Guarantor.

 

5
