AND IN THE MATTER OF A PLAN OF COMPROMISE ORARRANGEMENT OF TRAVELBRANDS INC.

APPLICANT

AFFIDAVIT OF FRANCESCO DEMARINIS(Sworn September 21, 2015)

I, Francesco DeMarinis, of the City of Kleinburg, in the Province of Ontario,

MAKE OATH AND SAY:

l. I am Francesco DeMarinis, the President and former Co-Chief Executive Officer

of TravelBrands Inc. (referred to herein as "TravelBrands", the "Company" or the "Applicant").

I am also a Vice President of Red Label Vacations Inc. ("Red Label"), the ultimate parent

corporation of TravelBrands. As such, I have personal knowledge of the matters deposed to in

this Affidavit. Where I have relied upon other sources of information, I verily believe such

information to be true.

2. I swear this Affidavit in support of the motion brought by TravelBrands for an

Order, inter alia, extending the stay of proceedings granted by this Court pursuant to the

Companies' Creditors Anangement Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. C-36 as amended (the "CCAA") until

and including December 11,2015 and authorizing the Applicant to call and conduct a meeting

(the !'Meeting") of the Affected Creditors (as defined below) to consider and vote on a resolution

approving the Applicant's proposed plan of compromise or arrangement (the "Plan"), and an

Order approving a claims process (the "Claims Procedure") for the identification and

determination of claims against the Applicant and its present and former directors and officers.

Background3. On May 27 ,2015 (the "Filing Date"), TravelBrands was granted protection under

the CCAA pursuant to an initial order of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List)

(the "Initial Order"). In the Initial Order, the Court, among other things:

(a) granted a stay of proceedings in favour of TravelBrands until and including June

26,2015, or such later date as the Court may order (the "Stay Period");

(b) authorized TravelBrands to obtain and borrow funds under a Commitment

Agreement with Red Label in order to finance the Company's working capital

requirements and other general corporate purposes and capital expenditures, in an

amount not to exceed $4 million unless permitted by further order of the Court;

and

(c) appointed KPMG Inc. as the monitor of the Company (the "Monitor").

4. Since the Initial Order, the Company has continued to operate its business in the

normal course with the benefit of the stay of proceedings.

5. On June 24,2075, TravelBrands sought and was granted an Order which, among

other things, extended the Stay Period to and including August 77,2015.

6. On June 24, 2015, TravelBrands also sought and was granted approval of an

amended and restated Initial Order (the "Amended and Restated Initial Order"), which provided

greater clarification for the ongoing protection of trust funds. In particular, the Amended and

Restated Initial Order clarihed that the Charges will not apply to any funds held in trust in any of

the Applicant's bank accounts or by Chase Paymentech Solutions for the purpose of refunding

deposits or prepayments by the Applicant's customers in connection with travel which such

customers have not yet taken (collectively, the "Customer Funds"), provided however that, once

such travel occurs or a refund is made, the Charges will then apply to the corresponding

Customer Funds that are released from trust. Attached to this Affidavit as Exhibit "A" is the

Amended and Restated Initial Order.

L On August 14,2015, TravelBrands sought and was granted an Order (the "August

Extension Order") which, among other things, extended the Stay Period to and including

September 30,2015. Attached as Exhibit "B" is the August Extension Order.

8. Effective September 14, 2075, Zeina Gedeon was appointed as the new Chief

Executive Officer of TravelBrands. This appointment has been publicized in various travel

industry magazines and websites, including the September 10, 2015 article attached as Exhibit

"C" hereto.

9. I swore an afhdavit on May 26, 20T5 (the "Initial Affidavit") in support of the

initial application of TravelBrands. A copy of the Initial Affrdavit is attached without exhibits as

Exhibit "D" to this Affrdavit. I also s\ilore an affidavit on August 10,2015 (the "August

Affrdavit") in support of the motion for the August Extension Order. A copy of the August

Affrdavit is attached without exhibits as Exhibit "E" to this Affrdavit.

10. Capitalized terms contained herein that are not otherwise defined have the

meaning ascribed to them in the Initial Affidavit, the August Affidavit and the Plan, as

applicable.

I ntern ati o n al Ai r Tran sport Associ ati o n

11. TravelBrands and the Monitor have continued to engage in ongoing

communications with the International Air Transport Association ("IATA") and its counsel.

TravelBrands and the Monitor have provided IATA with all information requested to date and

will continue to be responsive to all further information requests.

12. TravelBrands and IATA discussed the potential need to increase a letter of credit

that had been provided by the Company to IATA in connection with the Purchase Transaction,

currently in the amount of $5.06 million, which was set to expire on August l, 2015 (the "Letter

of Credit"). In light of its ongoing dialogue with IATA, TravelBrands extended the expiration

date of the Letter of Credit to September 30, 2015. At this time, the value of the Letter of Credit

has not been increased.

13. TravelBrands, the Monitor and IATA were scheduled to meet in person in Miami,

Florida on September l, 2015 for the purpose of discussing TravelBrands' restructuring, its

188

-4-

continued compliance with IATA's financial requirements, and the value and term of the Letter

of Credit. Due to concerns that Tropical Storm Erika would pass through Miami, this meeting

was rescheduled to September 30, 2015.

14. Given its continued discussions with IATA, TravelBrands has extended the

expiration date of the Letter of Credit to October 3I,2015.

Travel lndustry Council of Ontario

15. TravelBrands and the Monitor have continued to provide the Travel Industry

Council of Ontario ("TICO") with extensive continuing and timely financial reporting, including

with respect to funds received from customers for travel services that TravelBrands is holding in

trust. TICO continues to closely monitor TravelBrands' business during its CCAA proceedings

and remains supportive of TravelBrands' restructuring efforts.

16. TravelBrands sought and obtained approval of the revisions contained in the

Amended and Restated Initial Order, described in further detail above, at TICO's request.

Agents & Suppliers

17. TravelBrands, in close consultation with the Monitor, has continued to be in

contact with a number of its critical suppliers and key agents to ensure the continued supply of

goods and services.

18. Since the Filing Date, TravelBrands has and continues to pay its key agents pre-

filing and post-filing amounts in the normal course. Additionally, TravelBrands, in close

consultation with the Monitor, has and continues to deal with its critical suppliers on an as

needed basis to ensure that there will be no disruption of services to its customers and that

business continues as usual.

19. TravelBrands' most significant suppliers have continued to supply goods and

services to the Company and, as provided for in the Amended and Restated Initial Order,

TravelBrands has and continues to pay its suppliers amounts owing for goods and services

supplied during the CCAA proceedings.

Sears

20. As described in the August Affidavit, on July 6,2075, Sears and TravelBrands

entered into an Amending Agreement whereby the terms of the license agreement between Sears

and the Company dated January 18, 2011, as amended and restated on February 2,2014 (Ihe

"Sears Agreement"), would be further amended (the "Amending Agreement"). The terms of the

Sears Agreement were described in the Initial Affidavit.

21. Pursuant to the Amending Agreement, the Sears Agreement has been amended so

that, inter alia:

(a) TravelBrands and Sears will share earnings generated by Sears Travel;

(b) TravelBrands is no longer required to make minimum annual commission

payments to Sears;

(c) TravelBrands and Sears granted each other certain conditional releases from

liabilities arising from occurrences prior to the date of the Amending Agreement,

being July 6, 2015; and

(d) A special purpose bank account has been established, which Sears will administer

as trustee, for the benefit of Sears and TravelBrands, to assist with administering

the Sears Agreement, as amended by the Amending Agreement.

22. The Amending Agreement provides for a release of all actual or potential claims

against TravelBrands, conditional upon the implementation of a Plan or other occunence in the

CCAA proceeding satisfactory to Sears, acting reasonably, whereby TravelBrands continues to

be bound by the Amending Agreement.

23. TravelBrands and Sears continue to implement the Amending Agreement, and

TravelBrands continues to operate the Sears Travel business in the ordinary course.

75 Eglinton24. On May 29,2015, TravelBrands, with the consent of the Monitor, delivered a

disclaimer notice to the 75 Eglinton landlord (the "Landlord"). The Landlord did not object to

190

Page 7: TAB 2 - KPMG · TICO continues to closely monitor TravelBrands' business during its CCAA proceedings and remains supportive of TravelBrands' restructuring efforts. 16. TravelBrands

6

the disclaimer within fifteen days of the disclaimer notice being delivered, and the disclaimer

became effective as of June 28,2015.

25. As described in the August Affidavit, counsel to TravelBrands, the Monitor and

the Landlord have engaged in numerous without prejudice meetings and conference calls to

discuss a possible settlement. This culminated in the decision to enter into a settlement (the

"Landlord Settlement"), which will be memorialized in an agreement that is currently being

discussed between the relevant parties and will be executed in the near tetm. The Landlord

Settlement will provide for the settlement of claims and potential claims of the Landlord against

TravelBrands and certain related parties.

26. The key terms of the Landlord Settlement are:

(a) 2224855 Ontario Inc. ("Holdco") will make various payments to the Landlord

over the next ten yeals. The quantum of such payments will be, in part, contingent

on TravelBrands' financial performance;

(b) The Applicant will provide the Landlord with a secured guarantee of Holdco's

obligations under the Landlord Settlement; and

(c) The Landlord will agree to support the Plan, or any other plan of compromise or

arrangement set forth by TravelBrands that provides treatment to the Landlord

that is consistent with the terms of the Landlord Settlement.

Sa/e Process Update

27. As outlined in the August Affidavit, the Company has been working to develop a

Sale Process whereby prospective purchasers would have the opportunity to bid for the

Company's assets. The purpose of the Sale Process was to effectuate a balance sheet and an

operational restructuring of TravelBrands. TravelBrands has prepared motion materials for the

pu{pose of obtaining an Order approving of the Sale Process, including a form of stalking horse

asset purchase agreement between Holdco and TravelBrands whereby a sale of substantially all

of TravelBrands' assets to Holdco would be effected by way of a credit bid. However, the

Company, in consultation with the Monitor, has considered whether a restructuring could also be

achieved by way of the Plan.

191

-7 -

28. In light of the progress that has been made with IATA since the commencement

of the CCAA Proceedings, as well as the execution of the Amending Agreement and the

Landlord Settlement, the Applicant, in consultation with the Monitor, has concluded that its

restructuring goals can be achieved by way of a Plan. TravelBrands believes that under a Plan

(versus a Sale Process) it may benefit from, among other things, better continuity in the

operation of the business.

Plan of Compromise or Arrangement29. TravelBrands proposes to present the Plan to its Affected Creditors to facilitate

the continuation of TravelBrands' business and to provide certain recoveries to stakeholders.

30. The material terms of the Plan include the following:

(a) the Plan provides for one class of affected unsecured creditors (the "Affected

Creditors"), which includes Convenience Creditors (Affected Creditors with

claims that are not more than CDN $15,000);

(b) Convenience Creditors will be paid in cash for the full value of their Allowed

Affected Claim within two (2) business days of the implementation of the Plan;

(c) Affected Creditors (other than Convenience Creditors) will receive the full value

of their Allowed Affected Claims in cash (sixty percent of the value of their

allowed claims will be remitted on January 31, 2016, and the remainder on

November 30,2016);

(d) certain claims against TravelBrands, including claims covered by insurance,

claims for which funds are being held by the Applicant or Chase Paymentech

Solutions in trust, intercompany claims and secured claims, will remain

unaffected by the Plan;

(e) the Commitment Agreement will be terminated;

all Affected Claims will be compromised, released and discharged in exchange

for the payments to be made to Affected Creditors, as described above; and

192

Page 9: TAB 2 - KPMG · TICO continues to closely monitor TravelBrands' business during its CCAA proceedings and remains supportive of TravelBrands' restructuring efforts. 16. TravelBrands

-8-

(g) TravelBrands reserves the right to revoke or withdraw the Plan at any time prior

to the Plan Implementation Date.

31. The Plan also provides for a subset of Deemed Proven Claims (i.e., the Landlord's

and Sears' Affected Claims). Pursuant to the terms of the Plan:

(a) Sears will be entitled to receive distributions in accordance with the Amending

Agreement and will be deemed to have waived its rights to, and shall not be

entitled to, what it otherwise would have received under the Plan. As described

above, the Amending Agreement provides for a conditional release, which

condition can be satisfied by implementation of the Plan; and

the Landlord will be deemed to have waived its entitlement to the amounts that

would otherwise be payable to it under the Plan.

(b)

32. Implementation of the Plan is conditional upon, among other things, the Applicant

and Red Label or Holdco entering into a funding agreement whereby Red Label or Holdco will

agree to fund, on a revolving basis until December 31,2076, up to a maximum of $6 million, the

Applicant's necessary operating and other expenses incurred in a manner consistent with past

practices, subject to customary terms and conditions precedent (the "Funding Agreement").

TravelBrands anticipates that it will not make any draws under the Funding Agreement;

however, the Funding Agreement will be entered into out of an abundance of caution.

33. Ultimately, in reviewing its alternatives and available options, the Applicant has

determined that TravelBrands and its stakeholders would be best served by pursuing the Plan.

TravelBrands believes that the Plan will result in better continuity in the operation of the

business and is preferable to other alternatives because it provides a superior recovery for the

Applicant's Affected Creditors, as compared to any alternative to the Plan.

34. If the Plan is not approved by the Required Majority of the Affected Creditors

Class, or if TravelBrands determines that such approvals are not forthcoming, TravelBrands

plans to revoke the Plan and seek this Courl's approval of a credit bid whereby Holdco will

purchase substantially all of TravelBrands' assets.

Claims Procedure Order and Meeting Order

35. The procedure for determining the validity and quantum of the Affected Claims

for voting and distribution purposes under the Plan will be governed by a Claims Procedure

Order, a Meeting Order, the CCAA, the Plan and any further Order of this Courl.

The Applicant is seeking approval of:36

(a) a Claims Procedure Order authorizing and directing the Applicant to identify and

determine all Affected Claims against the Applicant and its present and former

directors and ofhcers for voting and distribution purposes with respect to the Plan;

and

(b) a Meeting Order authorizing and directing the Applicant to file the Plan with the

Court and to convene meetings of its Affected Creditors to vote on a resolution to

approve the Plan.

(i) Represented Travel Trade Creditors

37. The Plan, Claims Procedure Order, and Meeting Order include provisions specific

to "Represented Travel Trade Creditors", being creditors that are represented by any of the

Travel Trade Creditor Representatives listed on Schedule "J" of the Claims Procedure Order, in

connection with an agreement pursuant to which such creditors have an Affected Claim against

TravelBrands.

38. Represented Travel Trade Creditors are comprised of various hotels which are

counter-parties to agreements with TravelBrands. These agreements are negotiated by Travel

Trade Creditor Representatives, who typically represent a group of hotels that are often located

in various places across the world. TravelBrands interacts only with the Travel Trade Creditor

Representatives, rather than the individual Represented Travel Trade Creditors, when negotiating

agreements and as part of day-to-day operations. In contrast, TravelBrands will only deal directly

with a Represented Travel Trade Creditor when such Represented Travel Trade Creditor raises a

specific problem, such as customer complaints.

194

Page 11: TAB 2 - KPMG · TICO continues to closely monitor TravelBrands' business during its CCAA proceedings and remains supportive of TravelBrands' restructuring efforts. 16. TravelBrands

-10-

39. The relationship between Travel Trade Creditor Representatives and Represented

Travel Trade Creditors in the travel industry takes two forms, being:

(a) Travel Trade Creditor Representatives have signing authority for the Represented

Travel Trade Creditors they act for, for the purpose of entering into agreements

with TravelBrands; or

(b) Travel Trade Creditor Representatives have the ability to give binding directions

to Represented Travel Trade Creditors to enter into agreements with

TravelBrands.

40. I understand that these two forms of relationship between Travel Trade Creditor

Representatives and Represented Travel Trade Creditors are standard for the travel industry. IfTravelBrands were to contact a Represented Travel Trade Creditor directly for the purpose of

entering into an agreement, such Represented Travel Trade Creditor would need to either have

its Travel Trade Creditor Representative execute such an agreement or get the Travel Trade

Creditor Representative's approval before so doing.

41. Generally, agreements between Travel Trade Creditor Representatives and

Represented Travel Trade Creditors also provide that the Travel Trade Creditor Representatives

shall indemnify the Represented Travel Trade Creditors for certain losses suffered as a result of

an agreement negotiated by the Travel Trade Creditor Representative.

42. Of note, often TravelBrands does not have contact information for individual

Represented Travel Trade Creditors. In contrast, TravelBrands engages in frequent

communication with the Travel Trade Creditor Representatives.

43. Accordingly, the Plan, Claims Procedure Order, and Meeting Order have been

developed to take into account the unique relationship between Travel Trade Creditor

Representatives and the Representative Travel Trade Creditors. When preparing the procedures

contemplated in the proposed Claims Procedure Order and Meeting Order, the Applicant

consulted with certain of its key Travel Trade Creditor Representatives to ensure the process was

efficient and catered to the unique relationship between Travel Trade Creditor Representatives

and the Represented Travel Trade Creditors.

(ii) Claims Procedure Order

44. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined within this subsection shall have the

meaning ascribed to them in the Claims Procedure Order.

45. The draft Claims Procedure Order provides for a process for the identification and

determination of claims against the Applicant and its present and former directors and officers,

which includes, inter alia, the following:

(a) the Monitor will send a Claims Package to all Known Creditors, except

Represented Travel Trade Creditors;

(b) the Monitor will send Claims Packages to each Travel Trade Creditor

Representative for distribution by the Travel Trade Creditor Representative to

each of the Represented Travel Trade Creditors;

(c) the Monitor will send a Representative Instruction Letter to each Travel Trade

Creditor Representative;

(d) the Claims Package shall include a Notice of Claim specifying the Known

Creditor's Claim against the Applicant for voting and distribution purposes;

(e) the Claims Procedure Order contains provisions that allow Known Creditors to

dispute their Claim as determined in the applicable Notice of Claim for voting

and/or distribution purposes, and sets out a procedure for resolving such disputes;

(Ð the Monitor will publish a notice to creditors in The Globe and Mail Q.trational

Edition) to solicit claims against the Applicant by any claimants that are not

known to the Applicant;

(g) the Monitor will deliver a Claims Package to any Unknown Creditor who requests

one prior to the Claims Bar Date, which will contain a Proof of Claim that must

be completed and filed with the Monitor prior to the Claims Bar Date;

196

Page 13: TAB 2 - KPMG · TICO continues to closely monitor TravelBrands' business during its CCAA proceedings and remains supportive of TravelBrands' restructuring efforts. 16. TravelBrands

-t2-

(h) the Claims Procedure Order contains provisions that allow the Applicant to

dispute a Proof of Claim as against an Unknown Creditor for voting andlor

distribution purposes, and sets out a procedure for resolving such disputes;

(i) the proposed Claims Bar Date for Proofs of Claim for Unknown Creditors and for

Notices of Dispute in the case of Known Creditors is October 28,2015 (which is

thirty (30) days following the date of the Claims Procedure Order, assuming that

Order is granted at this time);

c) the Restructuring Period Claims Bar Date, which will apply to Affected Claims

arising on or after the Filing Date (i.e., Restructuring Period Claims), shall be

seven (7) days after the day such Restructuring Period Claim arises;

(k) Proofs of Claim may be filed with respect to Director/Offrcer Claims; and

with regard to the Deemed Proven Claims, Sears and the Landlord will be deemed

to have accepted Notices of Claim in the amounts of their respective Affected

Claims (being $6,208,846.28 and $15,000,000, respectively), and neither Sears

nor the Landlord are required to take any further action to prove their Affected

Claims in the Claims Process.

46. The Claims Procedure Order has been designed to identify the Claims of Known

and Unknown Creditors in a manner that preserves the rights of such Creditors, while allowing

for the expeditious identification of the claims of all of TravelBrands' potential creditors.

(iii) Meering Order

41. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined within this subsection shall have the

meaning ascribed to them in the Meeting Order.

48. The draft Meeting Order provides that the Applicant is authorized to convene the

Meeting of the Affected Creditors' Class to consider and vote on the Plan. The Affected

Creditors' Class consists of all affected unsecured creditors, including Convenience Creditors.

49. The draft Meeting Order provides that, after the granting of the Order, the

Monitor shall send Information Packages to all Creditors (other than the Represented Travel

(l)

197

Trade Creditors) known to the Monitor and the Applicant as of the date of the Order. For

Represented Travel Trade Creditors, the Order provides that the Monitor shall send Represented

Creditor Information Packages to each Travel Trade Creditor Representative, who shall

distribute Represented Creditor Information Packages to the Represented Travel Trade Creditors,

and shall confirm the completion of such distribution to the Monitor and the Applicant.

50. The draft Meeting Order also provides that the Monitor shall use reasonable

efforts to cause the Notice of Meeting to be published for two (2) Business Days in The Globe

and Mail (lr{ational Edition).

51. The draft Meeting Order provides for, inter alia,the following in respect of the

governance of the Meeting:

(a) a representative of the Monitor shall preside as the Chair of the Meeting;

(b) the only Persons entitled to notice of, attend or speak at the Meeting are the

Eligible Voting Creditors (or their respective duly appointed proxyholders),

representatives of the Monitor, the Applicant, all such parties' financial and legal

advisors, the Chair, Secretary and the Scrutineers, and any other person that may

be admitted to the Meeting by invitation of the Applicant or the Chair;

(c) each Affected Creditor with a Voting Claim or a Disputed Voting Claim shall be

entitled to one vote as a member of the Affected Creditors' Class;

(d) each Affected Creditor with a Voting Claim or a Disputed Voting Claim that is a

Convenience Creditor, as defined in the Plan, shall be deemed to vote in favour of

the Plan, unless such Convenience Creditor has notified the Monitor of its

intention to vote against the Plan prior to the Meeting and does vote against the

Plan at the Meeting (in person or by proxy);

(e) each Affected Creditor with a Deemed Proven Claim (i.e., Sears and the

Landlord) shall be deemed to vote in favour of the Plan;

the Meeting Order contains provisions outlining the requirements for voting by

proxy, and sets out a procedure for submitting a Creditor's Proxy (the form of

proxy for Eligible Voting Creditors other than Represented Travel Trade

198

Page 15: TAB 2 - KPMG · TICO continues to closely monitor TravelBrands' business during its CCAA proceedings and remains supportive of TravelBrands' restructuring efforts. 16. TravelBrands

-14-

Creditors) or Represented Creditor's Proxy (the form of proxy for Represented

Travel Trade Creditors), as applicable;

(g) any Represented Travel Trade Creditor that does not submit a Represented

Creditor Proxy shall be deemed to have duly appointed their Travel Trade

Creditor Representative to act for them at the Meeting and to vote on their behalf;

(h) the quorum required at the Meeting shall be one Creditor with a Voting Claim

present at the Meeting in person or by proxy;

(i) the Monitor may appoint Scrutineers for the supervision and tabulation of the

attendance, quorum and votes cast at the Meeting, and the Scrutineers shall

tabulate the votes in respect of all Voting Claims and Disputed Claims, if any, at

the Meeting;

the Monitor shall keep separate tabulations of votes cast at the Meeting in respect

of (a) Voting Claims and (b) Disputed Voting Claims, if applicable;

(k) following the vote at the Meeting, the Scrutineers shall tabulate the votes in the

Affected Creditors' Class and the Monitor shall determine whether the Plan has

been accepted by the Required Majority; and

(l) the result of any vote conducted at the Meeting of the Affected Creditors' Class

shall be binding upon all Creditors of that Affected Creditors' Class, whether or

not any such Creditor was present or voted at the Meeting.

52. As noted above, the Meeting Order, if approved, authorizes and directs the

Monitor to tabulate votes in respect of Voting Claims separately from votes in respect of

Disputed Voting Claims.

53. It is proposed that the Meeting be held at Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP, Suite

6300, 1 First Canadian Place, Toronto, Ontario, on October 30,2015 at l0:00 a.m. The Applicant

believes that it is in the best interests of the company and its stakeholders to exit the CCAA as

promptly as possible, given the progress that has been made in these CCAA Proceedings, the

upcoming winter sales season and the positive impact this would have on consumer perception of

TravelBrands. Furthermore, the Applicant is seeking to hold the Meeting prior to its hscal year

end, being October 37,2015, given that the anticipated approval of the Plan by that time will

have a favourable impact on its audited financial statements for such fiscal year.

Approval of Stay Extension54. TravelBrands has continued to operate its business in the normal course with the

benefit of the stay of proceedings, which has provided stability to the business and alleviated the

liquidity crisis that TravelBrands faced at the time of filing the application for the Initial Order. I

believe that TravelBrands has acted and is continuing to act in good faith and with due diligence

in these CCAA proceedings.

55. TravelBrands seeks an extension of the Stay Period up to and including December

ll, 2015. This extension is necessary and appropriate in the circumstances to allow for the

continued operation of TravelBrands' business, the completion of the Claims Process and the

completion of the Meeting. TravelBrands believes that this course of action will best facilitate

the continuation of its business as a going concem, while providing certain recoveries to its

stakeholders.

56. The updated cash flow forecast shows that TravelBrands has sufficient liquidity to

fund operations during the requested extension of the Stay Period. A copy of the updated cash

flow forecast will be attached to the Third Report of the Monitor.

57. The Monitor has expressed its support for the extension of the Stay Period to

December 17,2015.
