        <footnote id="F1">On December 1, 2007, Mr. Norden was granted 25,000 priceline.com Incorporated (the &quot;Company&quot;) performance share units.  The exact number of shares to be issued to Mr. Norden, which could be as many as three times the initial grant or, alternatively, no shares, will depend upon, among other things, the financial performance of Priceline.com International Limited.  The shares, if any, will be issued on or about March 1, 2011 or earlier, in the event of, among other things, a &quot;change in control&quot; (as defined in the performance share unit agreement) of the Company and/or termination of employment/service in certain circumstances.</footnote>
