OTHER EVENTS. Walker Digital, a separate privately held company, advised priceline.com Incorporated (the "COMPANY") that it was restructuring its operations and significantly reducing its workforce as a result of capital constraints. Under the terms of agreements between the Company and Walker Digital, Walker Digital agreed to reimburse the Company for a portion of legal expenses incurred in connection with certain patent litigations and indemnify the Company for damages, liabilities and legal expenses incurred in connection with litigation involving Marketel International Inc.
