If Worldspan decreases the standard published booking fee it charges a [**] supplier for [**] segments generated in [**] by Worldspan subscribers other than the Priceline Group (the "Non-Priceline Booking Fee" for that [**] supplier) so that the Non-Priceline Booking Fee for that [**] supplier after the decrease is less than the booking fee it charges the [**] supplier for [**] Bookings generated in [**] by the Priceline Group (the "Priceline Booking Fee" for that [**] supplier), then the then-current Worldspan [**] Minimum Rate will be reduced by an amount equal to (i) the amount of such decrease in the Non-Priceline Booking Fee for that [**] supplier, less the amount, if any, by which (x) the Priceline Booking Fee for that [**] supplier prior to the decrease, is less than (y) the Non-Priceline Booking Fee for that [**] supplier prior to the decrease, multiplied by (ii) the percentage obtained by dividing (x) the number of [**] Bookings in [**] for that [**] supplier generated by the Priceline Group for the 12-month period preceding the decrease, by (y) the total number of [**] Bookings generated in [**] by the Priceline Group for that 12-month period. 19. HOTEL IMAGES. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain hotel images to be loaded into the Worldspan GDS. 20. EPRICING. (a) The Priceline Group shall be entitled to [**] Power Shopper queries for each Booking at [**]. If the number of Power Shopper queries from the Priceline Group in any calendar month is more than [**] times the number of Bookings for that month, then Priceline shall pay [**] for each such excess Power Shopper query. Worldspan will provide to the Priceline Group a "less edited" Power Shopper response, reasonably acceptable to Priceline, that will allow as many as [**] to [**] itinerary alternatives to be retrieved in response to each Power Shopper query. (b) Worldspan shall implement improvements to its ePricing functionality in accordance with Attachment B to this Amendment. (c) Worldspan shall devote appropriate time and resources and otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its ePricing functionality to be competitive in the performance of services provided by Other GDSs (including, without limitation, [**]), in terms of, for example, and not by way of limitation, cost, availability services and scope of commands. 21. LOW COST CARRIER PARTICIPATION. Worldspan will provide the Priceline Group with access to any low cost carrier (i.e., an air carrier that does not participate in the Worldspan GDS and pay booking fees to Worldspan) upon mutual agreement between Worldspan, Priceline, and the low cost carrier. In such agreements, the implementation fee for Priceline will be [**], but the low cost carrier may be subject to reasonable implementation, participation, and other fees. 22. Lowestfare Conversion Bonus. Upon completion of the Priceline Group's obligation to convert the www.lowestfare.com website so that it ceases generating Basic [**] Segments through [**], by no later than [**], pursuant to Paragraph 6(e)(1) above, Worldspan shall pay Priceline a one-time conversion bonus equal to [**] per [**] Booking generated by means of the www.lowestfare.com website [**] = Confidential Treatment requested for redacted portion; redacted portion has been filed separately with the commission. Page 11 during the period commencing upon the Lowestfare Basic Conversion Completion Date and ending 365 days thereafter, all upon and subject to the following: (a) Promptly after the Lowestfare Basic Conversion Completion Date, Worldspan shall pay Priceline a projected conversion bonus based upon the estimated number of [**] Bookings that will be generated by means of the www.lowestfare.com website during the 365 days following the Lowestfare Basic Conversion Completion Date. Promptly after the end of that 365 day period, the Parties will determine the actual number of [**] Bookings generated by means of the www.lowestfare.com website during that period and the actual conversion bonus resulting from those [**] Bookings, and the applicable Party will pay to the other Party any amounts necessary to reconcile the projected conversion bonus previously paid to Priceline with the actual conversion bonus so determined. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that (i) the www.lowestfare.com website has not completely ceased generating Basic [**] Segments through [**], by [**], as provided in Paragraph 6(e)(1) above or generates one or more Basic [**] Segments through [**], during the 365 day period following the Lowestfare Basic Conversion Date, or (ii) the www.lowestfare.com website has not completely ceased generating Other [**] Segments through [**], by [**], as provided in Paragraph 6(e)(2) above or generates one or more Other [**] Segments through [**], during the period beginning when such conversion with respect to Other [**] Segments is complete and ending 365 days following the Lowestfare Basic Conversion Date, then, in any such event, the conversion bonus described above will not be payable to Priceline and, if and to the extent already paid, will be promptly refunded to Worldspan. 23. SYSTEM USAGE. The Priceline Group will use the Worldspan System, including data provided through such system, solely for the purposes of making legitimate Bookings through the Worldspan System, issuing travel documents relating to such Bookings, performing related accounting and record-keeping functions, conducting testing in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, utilizing historical data in the ordinary course of the Priceline Group's business, and in accordance with rules and regulations established by travel suppliers and published by Worldspan. The Priceline Group specifically agrees that it shall not use the Worldspan System, including data provided through such system, to make bookings via any means other than the Worldspan System or to develop any of the following types of services for the purpose of reselling such services to third parties: software applications, including without limitation booking engines, corporate booking programs, fare and pricing tools, caching products, and hosting applications. For the avoidance of doubt, the Priceline Group shall not be prohibited from using the Worldspan System, including data provided through such system, in the process of servicing a customer even in the case where the Priceline Group searches an itinerary in the Worldspan System and subsequently books such itinerary through a Direct Connection with a supplier, provided that the Priceline Group did not, as part of the servicing of such customer, search the inventory of such supplier in the Worldspan System. 24. MARKETING INCENTIVE PROGRAM. The letter agreement dated November 13, 2001, regarding the Marketing Incentive Program is hereby terminated. 25. HOTEL DIRECT CONNECTION. If the Priceline Group intends to enter a Direct Connection relationship with one of its top ten hotel suppliers, then the Priceline Group will evaluate the cost and functionality of an outsourced Worldspan Direct Connection solution. If the cost and functionality of such a Worldspan solution compares favorably to the cost and functionality of the other Direct Connection relationship contemplated by the Priceline Group, then the Priceline Group will use commercially reasonable efforts to employ the outsourced Worldspan Direct Connection solution instead of the other Direct Connection relationship. The foregoing shall not be interpreted to limit in any way the ability of Priceline to generate Opaque Hotel Segments on an Other GDS in accordance with this Agreement. 26. TECHNOLOGY SERVICES AGREEMENT. At Priceline's request, based on its need to approximate Direct Connection economics for its major airline partners, Worldspan shall use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate an agreement structured as a technology services agreement for the Priceline Group, which [**] = Confidential Treatment requested for redacted portion; redacted portion has been filed separately with the commission. Page 12 shall contain terms and conditions that are competitive with other technology services agreements that Worldspan has with its other major customers that have booking volumes and technology requirements similar to those of the Priceline Group. 27. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. Prior to entering into any arrangement with a third party to obtain any GDS or other travel technology related services that succeeds the Subscriber Entity Agreement or replaces any portion thereof during Booking Evaluation Period 5 or at the end of the Term, Priceline will provide Worldspan written notice of the proposed arrangement (an "ROFR Notice"). It is understood, however, that no ROFR Notice shall be required in connection with arrangements with any third party for such services if and to the extent that Priceline is permitted (or, if the Subscriber Entity Agreement were still in effect, would be permitted) to engage or contract with such third party for such services under the terms of the Subscriber Entity Agreement, such as any arrangement with a third party for the generation through an Other GDS of any Segments that Priceline is not obligated to generate through the Worldspan GDS pursuant to this Amendment. Each ROFR Notice shall include as an attachment the proposed definitive agreement pursuant to which the third party will provide the applicable services or, if such definitive agreement has not been prepared, a detailed description of the applicable services and all material terms and conditions upon which the third party will provide them; provided, however, that Priceline shall not be required to divulge to Worldspan the identity of such third party. Following receipt of an ROFR Notice that satisfies the foregoing requirements, Worldspan will have forty-five (45) days to (i) notify Priceline that Worldspan elects to provide substantially similar material services on material terms and conditions that are substantially similar to, but no less favorable to Priceline than, those described in such ROFR Notice, and (ii) provide to Priceline a proposed signed definitive agreement for such substantially similar material services on such substantially similar, but no less favorable to Priceline, material terms and conditions. In the event Worldspan elects not to provide Priceline with such services, it shall so notify Priceline in writing as soon as practicable. During such 45-day period, (x) Priceline shall devote sufficient commercial, technical, and legal resources to facilitate in good faith Worldspan's evaluation of the proposed arrangement, and (y) Priceline shall not be entitled to change the material terms of such third party arrangement for purposes of this Paragraph. Priceline shall not enter any such arrangement with a third party if Worldspan has elected to provide the services and provided to Priceline a proposed definitive agreement that meets the requirements set forth above. If Worldspan elects not to provide the services or the 45-day period has expired without a response from Worldspan that meets the requirements set forth above, then Priceline may enter into such arrangement with the third party on terms and conditions that do not materially deviate from the terms and conditions included in the ROFR Notice to Worldspan. 28. [**] DEVELOPMENT HOURS. The Parties acknowledge that Worldspan has previously provided consulting and development services to assist Priceline with design of [**] reports and other issues relating to the GDS, Priceline's operations, and back-office functions. In the event that Priceline requires additional consulting and development services beyond those provided prior to the Second Amendment Effective Date, then, upon Priceline's request, Worldspan shall provide qualified individuals to provide other technical services. These services shall be charged to Priceline at the rate of [**] per person-hour or Worldspan's then current standard rate for consulting services, whichever is higher. 29. [**] REPORTS. Worldspan shall provide [**] reports to Priceline in conformity with Priceline's reasonable design requirements. Worldspan shall discount by [**] its fees of [**] per month for this service. 30. SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT HOURS. Worldspan shall provide, at no charge, up to [**] person-hours of annual mainframe or distributed systems development resources for Worldspan system enhancements requested by Priceline, subject to timelines as agreed by the Parties.

These groups will provide consultation relating to programming interface development and usage. [**] = Confidential Treatment requested for redacted portion; redacted portion has been filed separately with the commission. Page 13 32. WEB HOSTING. Should Priceline choose Worldspan to host its application and web servers at Worldspan's data center pursuant to a separate Hosting Agreement, Worldspan shall discount its then current monthly fee for this service [**], subject to a maximum monthly discount of [**]. 33. [**] 34. SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT. Priceline and Worldspan shall use their best efforts to negotiate a mutually acceptable service level agreement applicable to the services provided under the Subscriber Entity Agreement. In the event that an agreement cannot be reached in such negotiations, then the Subscriber Entity Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. 35. ESTIMATED BOOKINGS. No later than October 1 of each calendar year, Priceline shall provide written documentation to Worldspan of the total number of planned, budgeted and/or projected Bookings to be generated by the Priceline Group through the Worldspan GDS during the following calendar year. 36. EU AFFILIATE TERMINATION. Notwithstanding any provision of the Subscriber Entity Agreement to the contrary, solely with respect to services provided to any Affiliate located in a country of the European Union (an "EU Affiliate"), Priceline and Worldspan may at their respective discretion terminate services to such EU Affiliate without penalty on giving the other at least ninety (90) days' prior written notice. 37.
