Re:Revised Key Management Retention Program

Dear Dale:

The establishment and maintenance of a sound and vital management team is important to protecting and enhancing the best interests of Worldspan.  We have determined that additional steps should be taken to reinforce and encourage the continued attention and dedication of certain members of Worldspan’s management, including yourself.

Worldspan desires to provide incentives to you in accordance with the terms of this letter agreement (“Agreement”) to induce you to (i) remain with Worldspan; (ii) achieve good individual and company performance; (iii) deliver key business initiatives; and (iv) increase the value of Worldspan.  This Agreement supersedes and replaces the letter agreement between you and Worldspan dated June 21, 1999.

1.Definitions.  As used in this Agreement, the terms set forth in Section 27 will have the respective meanings specified in such Section.  Other terms used in this Agreement are defined in the context in which they are used and will have the respective meanings there indicated.

2.Term of Agreement.  This Agreement shall commence on the date hereof and shall continue in effect until December 31, 2002; provided commencing on January 1, 2003 and each January 1 thereafter, the term of this Agreement shall automatically be extended for one (1) additional year unless at least ninety (90) days prior to such January 1 dates, Worldspan or you shall have given notice that it or you do not wish to extend this Agreement; provided further, this Agreement shall continue in effect beyond the term and until all obligations are complete if your termination or a Change-in-Control shall have occurred during such term.

3.Duties.  While you are actively employed by Worldspan you shall faithfully, diligently, lawfully, and ethically discharge your duties and responsibilities as an officer and an employee, and shall:  (i) use your best efforts to advance the interests of Worldspan and to implement the policies and decisions of the Worldspan Board; (ii) devote your full and exclusive business time, energy and skill to Worldspan, to the promotion of its business and interests; (iii) not serve as an employee, officer, agent, representative or consultant, or otherwise provide services for, or serve as a member of the board of directors of, any other corporation or entity without the prior written approval of the President and Chief Executive Officer of Worldspan or the Worldspan Board; provided, you may be an officer with, and may serve as a member of the board of directors of companies affiliated with Worldspan, and you may perform unpaid services for charitable, educational, and similar organizations.

4.Retention and Performance Incentives.

(a)EICP Enhancements.  (i) The minimum, target and maximum levels of the short-term portion of your 2001 and 2002 EICP will be 32.5%, 65% and 130% respectively; (ii) the minimum, target and maximum levels and other terms and conditions of the short-term portion of your 2001 and 2002 EICP shall not be less favorable, taken as a whole, than the 2000 levels, terms and conditions;  (iii) the minimum, target and maximum levels of the long-term portion of your 2001 and 2002 EICP (payable in 2004 and 2005, and payable in 2005 and 2006, respectively) are hereby increased to 22.5%,45% and 90% respectively; (iv) the calculation of your EICP payments shall be based on your Salary, as that term is defined in Section 27; and (v) the provisions of this Agreement will prevail over any less favorable terms in the standard EICP documentation.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary:  (x) the minimum payment to you under the short-term portion of your 2001 and 2002 EICP will be not less than 20% of your Salary, irrespective of Company performance; (y) the minimum payment to you under the short-term portion of your 2001 and 2002 EICPs will be not less than 20% of your Salary, irrespective of Company performance.  If you die on or after July 1 of any particular calendar year while still employed by Worldspan, the short-term and long-term portions of the EICP will be paid to your estate, at the levels paid to other officers, prorated for the portion of year or EICP period which has passed as of the date of your death.  If you receive additional cash compensation for the performance of acting or similar duties for more than six (6) months during a calendar year or EICP period, your EICP payment for such calendar year or EICP period will be calculated using your acting pay for the number of months you received such acting pay and your base salary for all other months.

(b)Equity Recognition Bonus.  At the earlier of: (i) a Change-in-Control; (ii) the IPO Date; or (iii) June 30, 2001, you will be entitled to a recognition bonus equal to two (2) times your Salary as of the applicable event in recognition of your contribution in creating value for Worldspan’s owners.  Fifty percent (50%) of the recognition bonus will be paid to you within thirty (30) days of the applicable event if you are employed by Worldspan on the date of such event other than as an Inactive Employee.  The remaining fifty percent (50%) shall be paid to you no later than twelve (12) months following the date of the applicable event even if you are no longer employed by Worldspan on the second payment due date; provided, the remaining fifty percent (50%) installment shall not be paid to you if your termination on or before the payment due date is by you other than for Good Reason or by Worldspan for Good Cause.

(c)June 30, 2002 Bonus.  If you are employed by Worldspan or its successor on June 30, 2002 other than as an Inactive Employee, and a Change-in-Control has not occurred on or before that date, Worldspan will provide you with a lump sum cash payment of three hundred percent (300%) of your salary as of June 30, 2002.  One half of this amount will be paid to you no later than July 31, 2002 and the other one half will be paid to you no later than July 31, 2003 if you are still employed by Worldspan on the date of the second payment.

(d)Retention Retirement Supplement.  If you are employed by Worldspan on December 31, 2000 other than as an Inactive Employee, Worldspan will provide you with an

2

additional three (3) years to be applied to age and/or Benefit Service (as defined in the Pension Plan) under a supplemental retirement benefit program; said supplemental retirement benefit shall be calculated as provided for in Section 8(a) of this Agreement with the exception that the five (5) years specified in Section 8(a) shall be changed to three (3) years.

(e)Success Fee.  Provided the applicable condition is met, Worldspan will pay you one or the other (but not both) of the following:

(i)If a Change-in-Control occurs by December 31, 2002 (or by June 30, 2003 for a Change-in-Control transaction for which the definitive agreement was signed on or after April 1, 2002), not later than seven (7) days after the closing of such, Worldspan (or its successor, if applicable) will pay to you the amount of $2,500,000; or

(ii)If on or before December 31, 2002 (or by June 20, 2003 for a transaction for which the definitive agreement was signed on or after April 1, 2002), Worldspan acquires all or a substantial portion of Amadeus, Sabre, or Galileo, Worldspan (or its successor) will pay you the amount of $1,250,000.

This success fee is payable even if your employment terminates as a result of the Change-in-Control, and is in addition to amounts and benefits payable under Section 7; provided, payment of this success fee would be in lieu of any unpaid retention payments pursuant to Section 4(c).

5.Change-in-Control Retirement Supplement.

(a)If you remain employed by Worldspan other than as an Inactive Employee for two (2) years following a Change-in-Control, you will be credited with an additional three (3) years to be applied to Benefit Service under a supplemental retirement benefit program, a retiree medical program, and a retiree flight pass program.  the additional three (3) years to be applied pursuant to this Section are in addition to the three (3) years provided for in Section 4(d).  Said supplemental retirement benefit under this Section shall be calculated as provided for in Section 8(a) of this Agreement with the exception that the five (5) years specified in Section 8(a) shall be changed to three (3) years.

(b)If you remain employed by Worldspan other than as an Inactive Employee and are within five (5) years of the earliest retirement age specified in the Pension Plan as of the date that is two (2) years following a Change-In-Control, you may elect to apply the additional three (3) years referred to in Section 4(d) and/or Section 5(a) to your age and/or Benefit Service; provided the combined total of additional years towards age and Benefit Service under Section 4(d) shall not exceed three (3) and the combined total of additional years toward age and Benefit Service under Section 5(a) shall not exceed three (3).

(a)Except as otherwise provided herein, Worldspan will withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement all federal, state, city or other taxes as shall be required pursuant to any law or government regulation or ruling.

(b)In the event any payments hereunder become subject to excise tax pursuant to Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or comparable state or local tax laws, Worldspan will pay you such additional compensation as is necessary (after taking into account all federal, state and local income taxes payable by you as a result of the receipt of such amounts) to place you in the same after-tax position you would have been in had no such excise tax (or any interest or penalties thereon) been paid or incurred.

8

14.Mitigation and Other Benefits.  You shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any payment provided for in this Agreement be reduced by any compensation earned by you as the result of employment by another employer (subject to Section 19) after the Termination Date or otherwise.  This Agreement shall not diminish the vacation, retirement or welfare benefits to which you are or will be entitled under the Worldspan vacation policy, Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, Worldspan Benefit Restoration Plan, 401(k) Plan, Pension Plan, Health Plan and other tax qualified employee benefit plans, as amended from time-to-time.
