CONFIDENTIALITY; MEDIA COMMUNICATIONS 14.1 CONFIDENTIALITY. (a) "Confidential Information" is any information concerning any of the parties hereto (whether prepared by a party, its advisors or otherwise) or the performance of this Agreement which is or has been previously furnished to any party receiving such information (the "Receiving Party") by or on behalf of a party in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any financial data, notes, summaries, reports, analyses or other materials derived in whole or in part from such information, and, if in writing, is either clearly marked "confidential" or the like or is otherwise identified to the Receiving Party to be non-public and confidential, or which the Receiving Party would reasonably expect to be considered confidential and non-public; provided, that notwithstanding any failure to so identify it, all financial reports, business plans, information regarding volumes or projections of a party or any information provided or discussed during a meeting of the parties in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement will be deemed to be Confidential Information.

(e) Each party agrees that the other party shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunction, in the event of any breach of the provisions of this Agreement and that each party shall not raise as a defense or an objection to the request for or granting of such relief that any breach of the provisions of this Agreement is or would be compensable by an award of monetary damages.

No party nor any of its Representatives shall have any liability to any party or any of its Representatives resulting from the use of the Confidential Information. 14.2 Each party will submit to the other party, for its prior written approval, any marketing, advertising, press releases or other promotional materials related to this Agreement and/or referencing the other party and/or its web site, trade names, trademarks and service marks (the "Promotional Materials").

Advertiser agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Orbitz harmless from and against any and all liability, loss, damages, claims or causes of action, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, arising out of or related to (i) any breach of the representations and warranties in Section 9, or (ii) any third party claim arising from: (a) use of or access to the Advertisements, (b) any material to which the Advertisements link, or (c) any products or services made available, promoted, or advertised through the Advertisement. Advertiser shall not, without the prior written consent of Orbitz, settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim unless the settlement, compromise or consent provides for and includes an express, unconditional release of all claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, against Orbitz. 11. TERM AND TERMINATION. a. Term. The term of this Agreement ("Term") commences on the Acceptance Date set forth in the IO and terminates on the End Date set forth in the IO, unless earlier terminated pursuant to this Section. Except as CONFIDENTIAL 26 expressly set forth in the IO, any renewal of the IO and acceptance of any additional advertising order shall be at Orbitz' sole discretion. b. Termination. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the IO and this Section, the IO is non-cancelable by Advertiser, and Orbitz may, in its sole discretion and for any reason whatsoever, terminate this Agreement upon 30 days' notice to Advertiser. Either party may terminate this Agreement immediately if the other party is in material breach and fails to cure within thirty (30) days of written notice from the other party. c. Suspension of Advertising. If Advertiser fails to make any payment or otherwise breaches the Agreement, Orbitz may at its sole discretion and option suspend all services for Advertiser until Advertiser remedies the breach. Any failure by Advertiser to deliver acceptable Advertisements to Orbitz in accordance with Sections 3 and 5 shall result in a pro-rata reduction in any commitment by Orbitz to deliver a specific number of Measurement Units commensurate with Advertiser's delay, but will not excuse Advertiser from its obligation to pay for such reserved inventory or result in any right to a refund or credit for Advertiser. Any action taken pursuant to this paragraph will not limit or exclude any other claims or remedies that Orbitz may assert under this Agreement or by law or constitute a breach of any provision of this Agreement. d. Termination Consequences. Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, any rights granted to Advertiser will immediately cease and all fees and other charges for Advertisements placed through the date of termination will be due. If Orbitz terminates this Agreement for material breach or Advertiser fails to provide acceptable Advertisements for Orbitz to display pursuant to this Agreement, Advertiser will remain liable for all fees due hereunder without right of refund or credit. The provisions of Sections 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 will survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement. 12. MISCELLANEOUS. a. Confidentiality. Advertiser shall protect Orbitz' confidential information with reasonable care, and shall not disclose it without Orbitz' prior written permission, unless legally compelled to do so. "Confidential information" is nonpublic information that Orbitz designates as being confidential or that, under the circumstances surrounding receipt, Advertiser should know is treated as confidential by Orbitz, including Orbitz' business policies or practices, usage statistics and other related statistics, technical information, and the terms of this Agreement. b. Assignment. Advertiser may not assign this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations without Orbitz' prior written approval. Any attempt to do so without Orbitz' approval will be void. Orbitz may assign this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations, upon notice to Advertiser, to an affiliated company or to any other company or entity pursuant to a merger, acquisition, sale, corporate reorganization or other similar transaction. c. Interpretation. These Standard Terms and the IO, together with any exhibits attached thereto, constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter thereto and supersedes all proposals, warranties, prior agreements, or any other communications between the parties relating to the subject matter. In the event of any inconsistency between the IO and the Standard Terms, the Standard Terms shall control. This Agreement will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the law of the state of Illinois, excluding its conflict of law principles, and the parties hereby consent to the jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in Cook County, Illinois, waiving any objection to forum non conveniens. Except as otherwise provided above, any waiver, amendment or other modification of this Agreement will not be effective unless in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable, in whole or in part, such holding will not affect the validity of the other provisions of this Agreement. CONFIDENTIAL 27
