Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction.
     On November 4, 2009, the Issuer entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Travelport Limited, pursuant to which Travelport agreed to purchase 9,025,271 shares of Common Stock for $50,000,001.34 in cash. Concurrently with the Issuer’s entry into the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Issuer also entered into an Exchange Agreement (as amended) with PAR Investment Partners, L.P., pursuant to which PAR Investment Partners agreed to exchange $49.56 million aggregate principal amount of term loans outstanding of the Issuer at a price of 91% of the principal amount, for 8,141,402 shares of Common Stock. The Common Stock to be issued to Travelport and PAR Investment Partners were priced at $5.54 per share.
     In connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement and Exchange Agreement, the Issuer entered into a Shareholders’ Agreement with Travelport and PAR Investment Partners. The Shareholders’ Agreement provides that, contingent upon the closing of the transactions under the Stock Purchase Agreement and Exchange Agreement, Travelport will have the right to appoint an additional director to the Issuer’s board of directors and, subject to certain exceptions, PAR Investment Partners will have the right to appoint an individual to the Issuer’s board of directors.
     On January 13, 2010, Travelport Limited assigned its rights and obligations under the Stock Purchase Agreement to Luxco. Luxco acquired the shares of Common Stock as an investment. In connection with the foregoing, and as may be appropriate from time to time, Travelport will consider the feasibility and advisability of various alternative courses of action with respect to its investment in the Issuer, including, without limitation: the acquisition or disposition by the Reporting Persons of shares or other securities of the Issuer; an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; changes in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer; a material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; other material changes in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure; changes in the Issuer’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws or other actions that may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; causing any class of the Issuer’s securities to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; causing a class of securities of the Issuer to become eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act; or any action similar to those enumerated above. Except as described in this Item 4 of Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons do not currently have any plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions specified in this paragraph.
     The Reporting Persons reserve the right, based on all relevant factors and subject to applicable law or other restrictions, at any time and from time to time, to acquire additional shares, dispose of some or all of its shares, in each case in open market or private transactions, block sales or otherwise, and review or reconsider its position, change its purpose, take other actions (including actions that could involve one or more of the types of transactions or have one or more of the results described in the foregoing paragraph of this Item 4 of Schedule 13D) or formulate and implement plans or proposals with respect to any of the foregoing. Except as set forth in this Schedule 13D, no contract, arrangement, relationship or understanding (either oral or written) exists among the Reporting Persons as to the acquisition, disposition, voting or holding of shares of Common Stock.
     The Reporting Persons intend to review its investment in the Issuer from time to time on the basis of various factors, including the Issuer’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, general economic and industry conditions, the securities markets in general and those for the Issuer’s stock in particular, as well as other developments.

Item 6.
Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
     Except for the Shareholders Agreement and the information set forth in Item 4 (which is incorporated herein by reference) or as otherwise set forth in this Schedule 13D, none of the Reporting Persons has any contract, arrangement, understanding or relationship (legal or otherwise) with any person with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including but not limited to, any contract, arrangement, understanding or relationship concerning the transfer or voting of any securities of the Issuer, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guaranties of profits, division of profits or loss or the giving or withholding of proxies.
     Travelport Limited, an affiliate of the Reporting Persons, is party to a Separation Agreement, a Tax Sharing Agreement and various other agreements with the Issuer, all as further described in the Issuer’s proxy statement for the 2009 annual meeting of shareholders. The Separation Agreement provides that, so long as Travelport and certain affiliates beneficially own at least 50% of the combined voting power of all of the Issuer’s outstanding voting securities, Travelport may purchase its pro rata share, based on its then-current percentage equity interest in the Issuer, of any voting equity securities issued by the Issuer, excluding any securities issued under employee stock options or other benefit plans, dividend reinvestment plans and certain other offerings other than for cash. Affiliates of The Blackstone Group, including Travelport, beneficially own, directly and indirectly, approximately 54.5% of the Issuer’s outstanding Common Stock. As a result, affiliates of The Blackstone Group, including Travelport, have the power to elect all of the members of the Board of Directors of the Issuer and the power to control all matters requiring the consent or approval of the shareholders of the Issuer. Five members of the Board of Directors the Issuer are affiliated with Travelport and/or The Blackstone Group: Jeff Clarke serves as President, Chief Executive Officer and a Director of Travelport; Paul C. Schorr, IV, is a senior managing director at The Blackstone Group and a Director of Travelport; William J.G. Griffith, IV, is a general partner of Technology Crossover Ventures (which owns a significant stake in Travelport’s ultimate parent company) and a Director of Travelport; Jill A. Greenthal is a senior advisor in the Private Equity Group of The Blackstone Group, and an additional nominee designated by Travelport Limited pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement.
     In addition, pursuant to the Separation Agreement, Travelport will have certain registration rights with respect to the shares to be issued to it pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement. Travelport Limited is also party to a Tax Sharing Agreement with the Issuer which allocates tax liabilities between the two parties.
     Under the Issuer’s certificate of incorporation, until Travelport Limited and certain affiliates cease to beneficially own at least 331/3% of the votes entitled to be cast by the Issuer’s outstanding Common Stock, the prior written consent of Travelport Limited is required for, among other things, any increase or decrease in the authorized capital stock of the Issuer or the creation of any class or series of capital stock of the Issuer, any issuance or sale of the capital stock of the Issuer or its subsidiaries with certain exceptions, any change in the number of directors on the Board of Directors of the Issuer, the selection of the members of the Board of Directors of the Issuer and the filling of newly-created vacancies on the Board of Directors of the Issuer.
     In addition to the shares of Common Stock reported herein, Blackstone Management Partners L.L.C. (“BMP”), which serves as investment advisor to certain Blackstone entities and of which Mr. Paul C. Schorr IV is a member, holds restricted stock units granted under the Orbitz Worldwide, Inc. Non-Employee Directors Deferred Compensation Plan as part of Mr. Schorr’s compensation as a non-employee member of the Board of Directors of the Issuer. Each restricted stock unit represents a right to receive one share of Common Stock, on the date which is 200 days immediately following the date upon which Mr. Schorr’s service as a member of the Board of Directors of the Issuer terminates for any reason. The restricted stock units are immediately vested and non-forfeitable. Mr. Schwarzman is the chief executive officer and controlling person of BMP. As of the date hereof, BMP holds 90,167.177 restricted stock units.
